The Great Janissaries retreated temporarily, but it was a retreat they had chosen on their own initiative, not a rout after defeat. Wang Renli knew that they would definitely regroup somewhere, and then launch another attack on the Shenwu Army.

Wang Renli analyzed the possibilities of several battles for the Great Diet Guards, and felt that they would definitely set up an ambush along the Shali River, twenty miles ahead, which was not deep, but it was a necessary place to go to Elam.

On the other hand, he sent people back to Silvan to report to Qin Jin what was happening here and the accident of the Sogdian Asta Asta .

This accident was a blow to Wang Renli, which made him very annoyed, and he was also holding back his strength to save face.

He is not a reckless person, the reason why this person was entrusted with important tasks by Qin Jin at a young age is because of the word calm.

However, even the most calm people have mistakes, just like Wang Renli took someone to chase Asta that night.

As a result, the released captives were recaptured by the Great Cannibals, and Asta was nowhere to be found, but fortunately, the main force of the Shenwu Army was not lost due to the surprise attack of the Great Food Praetorian Guard.

On the contrary, the Great Food Praetorian Guard kicked the iron plate hard, and suffered a big loss.

Compared with the previous tactical success, it was a win and a defeat, and the two sides were tied because of it.

But the young generals of the Shenwu Army are all arrogant, how can they be easily finished after suffering such a loss?

Because of this, Wang Renli did not rush to the city of Elam, but studied where to fight the Praetorian Guard of Iben.

If you want to capture Elam City, the Praetorian Guards, who can't bypass the Great Eclipse on the left and right, are in a hurry to hurry, so it is better to stop and completely solve this * annoyance at one time.

Wang Renli's main idea is that whatever the enemy wants to do, he can't let the other party get his wish. For example, if Ibn is likely to ambush the Shenwu army along the Shari River, then he must not follow the Great Cannibal, but lead them to the area he has demarcated, and then fight a decisive battle.

In fact, the terrain of the whole of Ilam is flat, there are no mountains or deep valleys, but the desert Gobi and oases are intertwined.

In the daytime, it is difficult to hide an army of more than 1,000 people, and even if the Great Food Janissaries are to ambush in the Shali River, they will easily expose their targets.

As expected, it only took half a day for the rangers to find out how the Great Janissaries along the Shali River were arranged.

A large number of cavalry cruised on both sides of the river, and foot soldiers lined up on both sides, seemingly ready to move at any moment.

This was roughly subdued from Wang Renli's expectations, and if the general of the Great Food Praetorian Guard was a straw bale fool, it would not have been possible to set up an encirclement formation that night.

Khazar was the most anxious, he had always been thinking of returning to Elam through the power of the Tang people, and after hearing that the Praetorian Guard from Ctesiphon had retreated, he thought that retaking Elam was as simple as a worm. Na Cheng thought that the Praetorian Guards were just shaking for a moment, and turned around and called.

To tell the truth, Khazar was afraid that Mansour's Praetorian Guards had been scared to the core, and he had long lost the courage to fight against them, and he now put all his hopes on the Tang Dynasty people.

At this time, seeing that Wang Renli was unhurried, and he didn't know what he was going to do, his stomach was already anxious, as if a fire was on fire.

But he didn't dare to urge him again and again, these generals of the Tang Dynasty were all very young, and their tempers were not very good, in case they were annoyed, they didn't know how to repair the relationship.

After determining the countermeasures, Wang Renli ordered that the Qarlu soldiers and horses of the Mojian Company be divided into three divisions, the front, the middle and the rear, of which the front army followed him straight to the Shali River, and he made other arrangements for the other two armies.

Wang Renli's guess was right, Ibn was going to wait for him on the banks of the Shari River, waiting for him to cross halfway and let go of the blow.

The cavalry placed along the Shali River was used to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and as soon as there was a sign that the Tang people were planning to cross the river at a certain place, they would immediately notify the main force of the soldiers and horses, and then the main force would pounce on the Tang people and completely press the Tang people to death in the Shali River.

There is no need to hide this plan, unless the Tang people do not want to cross the river, as long as they go to Elam, they must choose to cross the river, then this battle is inevitable no matter what.

Muhammad applauded Ibn's ploy and made a series of sycophants, but it did not have the desired effect.

Ibn had long been disgusted by Muhammad's foul language, and the fact that a man of slave birth had stolen the property of his master's family, regardless of his position, whether or not he was loyal to the caliph, would in itself be despised by all the nobles.

Even Ibn was very disgusted with Muhammad, but for the sake of the caliph's overall plan, he had to hold back his disgust and pinch his nose to cooperate with him.

But Muhammad, as if he did not know that he was annoying, chattered like flies in front of and behind Ibn every day.

Sometimes, Ibn was really annoyed by listening to it and kicked him out, but after half a day, this guy would immediately appear cheeky again, still chattering around Ibn.

When Ibn had lost his patience completely, the good news came that the Dons had appeared, and at least five thousand men had appeared near the Shari River.

This was obviously a tentative attempt to find a suitable place to cross the river, and Ibn was not in a hurry, but only ordered the troops to take their positions, wait and see, and once the specific location of the Tang people to cross the river was determined, they would be surrounded on all sides.

Iben also had a way to deal with the Tang people's mysterious weapons that could make loud noises.

In the final analysis, this kind of thing is the same as the bow and crossbow, it is a weapon that can only exert its power from a long distance, and once it is approached by the infantry cavalry, it is no different from cattle and sheep.

Therefore, at that time, it is only necessary to charge with cavalry to withstand the initial losses, and it will soon be suppressed, and it is unlikely to have much impact on the main force of the infantry.

After repeated analysis and deduction, Iben was convinced that his judgment was correct, but at the same time, he felt that he was too conservative that day, and was frightened by the sudden blow, and if he had not been afraid at that time, he would have already broken the Tang army.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take in this world, and there is no point in thinking about the past, only by grasping the decisive battle that is about to start can we live up to our mission and live up to the trust and reuse of the caliphate.

"Let's go, let's see what tricks the Tang Dynasty people are going to play this time......"

Ibn took two steps and looked back at Muhammad, who was stunned.

"Why, don't you want to see how the Tang people were defeated?"

Only then did Muhammad react and said:

"In front of the general, the Tang people are cowardly earth rats, how can they be qualified to fight with the generals? The villains don't need to look at them to know that they, they will be defeated, they will be defeated......
