Chapter 1394: Sneak Attack on Elam City

"Hurry up and retreat, stay, you just wait for death!"

Ibn scolded angrily, this Muhammad is really a stupid fellow, he knows that he can't fight but still insists, isn't this hitting his head against a stone?

Although the Imperial Praetorian Guard has a reputation for winning a hundred battles, it is not blindly rushing and fighting, and it is necessary to know tactics, if it is all brainless, it will be defeated sooner or later.

I really don't understand how Khazar let such people stay and guard the territory in the first place.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that it might not be easy to rebel and take Elan.

Ibn put away his thoughts, he must focus on the safe withdrawal of all the Janissaries, although the defeat came suddenly, it would not discourage him completely, and if he dealt with it properly, he could regain his advantage.

The first to withdraw was the rear of the infantry formation, followed by the middle and the two wings, only the front one was a little troublesome, because the Tang Dynasty army had already rushed up, and the two sides were entangled, and it was difficult to withdraw from the melee.

In this case, Ibn would not give up on them immediately, but sent one of the two cavalry to rush to support and carry out three flank charges, in order to disrupt the rhythm of the Tang attack, thinking that the friendly army would have time to withdraw from the melee, and if this did not work, he had no choice but to give up such a part of the soldiers.

Use their deaths to gain enough space and time for the evacuation of the large army.

Generally speaking, an army is only about one-twentieth or less of the entire army at the beginning of a battle with the enemy.

Such a loss was acceptable for Ibn.

The three charges of the cavalry did not disturb the rhythm of the Tang army's attack, but were killed and wounded by a single bombardment.

Seeing this, Ibn had no choice but to order the cavalry to retreat as soon as possible, while losing more men, the cavalry was his treasure.

The loss of a thousand foot soldiers Ibn is not necessarily distressed, but if it is a cavalry, even if he loses ten, he will be distressed.

Now that hundreds of people had been lost at once, Ibn felt nothing but bleeding from his heart.

The cavalry, including the cavalry sent to harass the rear flank, was also recalled, and he didn't want any more accidents.

The current situation is that the Tang people's combat power is seriously underestimated, and there is a weapon that can make a loud noise and is extremely powerful, and he must find out what this weapon is, and then he can study how to deal with it.

Seeing that Ibn and his brigade had withdrawn, Muhammad was even more frightened, and hurried after him, for fear that he would be left unattended and become a prisoner of the Don.

Will it end well in the hands of Qajar when the time comes?

"General, wait for me, wait for me!"

Ibn ignored this veritable stupid donkey, he would let him die if he wanted to stay, and if he didn't want to die, he would obediently follow him, and don't think about anything.

In fact, no matter how stupid and stupid Muhammad was, he would not have chosen to stay and die. What's more, he is not a fool at all, but he is bound in front of Ibn and the safety of himself and his family, so he will fight at this time, and it seems that he can't understand anything.

On the other hand, Muhammad was a man who knew how to restrain his edge, in other words, he knew how to play stupid and make others think that he was a non-threatening person in order to always put himself in a safe position.

When Qajar chose Muhammad to stay, it was precisely because he saw that he was not a threat. But who would have expected that in the end, they would still look away, and finally even the Elam of the foundation land would be lost.

If Qajar had known that Muhammad had harbored such evil intentions, how could he have left him to be confident and bold enough to assist his son?

Muhammad was also a man of the dark heart, and in order to eradicate the roots, he killed all the family members of Qajar who had left them in the city of Elam, except for a few young sons who were studying the Qur'an at the Fars Mosque.

For this alone, Muhammad was by no means as stupid as he appeared.

Ibn withdrew with his janissaries to a distance of about twenty miles from the border, and the sun had completely set and it was getting dark.

The Tang people did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but to see the good and take it, after the initial victory, just steadily pursued five miles, after being sure that the big cannibal really evacuated this place, but also swaggered to choose to return to the division.

Wang Renli had a gloomy face, sat in the military tent and listened to the report of the military officials on today's battle, the casualties on both sides were generally heavier than ours, after counting at least hundreds of casualties, and some of the results of the artillery bombardment had not yet had time to be counted because it was dark, and on the whole it was a rather beautiful defensive counterattack.

It's a pity that last night's adventure has always been like a dark cloud covering Wang Renli's heart, as well as Asta, who doesn't know life and death.

This guy is the beloved son of the Sogdian chieftain, and he is also the heir recognized by the old chief, and if Asta dies here, it will inevitably affect the internal stability of Sogdia, and if it is not done well, it will affect the overall situation related to the strategy of Khorasan.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Renli couldn't help but be worried.

"Haven't heard from Asta yet?"

"No, not even a single Sogdian cavalry is missing, it is as if they have disappeared from the battlefield!"

The reports of the military officials were even more unbelievable, and many even speculated that they had been wiped out by the Janissaries.

But there are also people who suspect that even if they are completely annihilated, it is impossible not to have a single fish that slips through the net, and those routs who are lucky enough to escape will definitely find the big battalion.

However, it is very strange that the Shenwu army was stationed here for a day and a night, and not a single Sogdian returned.

The Great Eclipse Prince Khazar has a very bad impression of Asta, this guy often embarrasses himself, and often sneers at himself, which can be said to be extremely annoying.

However, out of consideration for his own future interests, he naturally hoped that Asta would not be in danger, so as not to affect the entire plan to recapture Ilam.

He tried to come up with an idea.

"It's better to send someone to negotiate with the Praetorian Guard, and say that we want to redeem Asta. If they capture Asta alive, they will gladly agree, and even if they kill Asta, there must still be living captives who can be sold for a good price. So that we can know whether the Sogdians have fallen into the hands of the Janissaries!"

It has always been customary for the locals to use ransom to buy captured soldiers when fighting, and Khazar's attention is indeed a helpless way.

"This can further confuse the Janissaries and make them think that we are showing weakness, in fact, the general can send troops at the same time to take advantage of the emptiness of Elam to carry out a sneak attack, maybe ......"
