Chapter 1283: Defeat at the beginning of the battle

The cavalry in charge of the attack still acted in small groups, scattering when someone intercepted and pursuing, and rushing up like wolves when they encountered the heavy baggage team of the Great Eclipse. The principle is not to take anything, only to kill and burn it all.

In just a few days, the tribal vassal army of 100,000 Great Eclipse was overwhelmed.

Mahdi was very annoyed, the new Persian army led by Kusi Lao had already encountered this kind of attack tactic, and he could not imagine that they had just been annihilated, and now more people had appeared.

However, in order to delay as much time as possible, Mahdi can only endure it, and for the sake of the big picture, a small loss is worth it.

However, Mahdi can endure it, but the steppe tribes have already complained, originally they were all wild wolves coming and going like the wind, and now the army of 100,000 is gathered in the place of Gorgan, and they cannot advance or retreat. The barbarian cavalry sent by the Tang people was like flies and gadfly, they couldn't be killed when they were hit, and they couldn't be blown away by bombing.

As soon as you let your guard down, you will be bitten fiercely, and you will not be killed, but it will be itchy and extremely uncomfortable.

Soon there was a plea from Mahdi for a large-scale purge to ensure tranquility in the rear.

Mahdi did not refuse to come, and agreed to everything.

In fact, he also knows that this kind of harassment is not enough to make them break their bones, but once they are confused because of this, they are likely to be led by the other party.

To this end, Mahdi decided to launch a tentative attack on the Tang soldiers in front of the team.

What is unique is that Da * Rui launched an attack at sunset, and the Tang soldiers and rangers located between the two armies were caught off guard and fled in confusion.

It's a pity that it was only those rangers who fled in embarrassment, and the real elite of the Shenwu Army was guarding the camp and waiting for it, and for the first time, Mahdi actually hesitated.

The big * Rui who took the initiative to attack retreated like a tide after a little strong attack.

After dark, Mahdi summoned the generals above the centurion under his command to discuss the military situation, and the consensus of everyone was that it was not cost-effective to attack the camp, and it was better to attract the main force of the Tang soldiers from the camp, and then go to the field.

The heavy infantry and heavy cavalry of the Roman Empire were so powerful that they were not beaten up.

Mahdi also began to sum up the lessons and lessons, thinking that he had underestimated the enemy and thought the Tang people simply, so there was an incident of hastily dispatching troops and then hastily withdrawing troops.

Far from achieving favorable results, this advance and withdrawal has caused the morale of some troops to be depressed.

After thinking about it, Mahdi felt that he still had to repeat his old tricks, attract and harass the Tang soldiers, and then wait for an opportunity to encircle and annihilate them.

Gu Lulu has been so unhappy in the past few days, and since he followed Yusufu, he has been restricted by Zhuoduo and can't do too much. Now that I have suddenly let go of my hands and feet, I can't help but feel like I am a human being in two lives.

The Shenwu Army has always had strict military discipline and never allowed any burning, but now it has to use some extreme measures to deal with the superior forces of the Great Cannibals.

Xiang Grolu and these steppe tribes have become the best vanguards.

Looking at the thousands of people who had recently joined his command, Gu Lulu sighed for a while, if he could bring back some of the burned loot, it would not be a problem to expand the number of people by 1,800.

However, he also knows the priorities, and the attacking cavalry is better than moving freely, if he is burdened, he is likely to be bitten by the Great Food Army because of the untimely transfer and retreat, and fall into a heavy siege.

At that time, let alone restore the scale of the old days, I am afraid that even my life will be lost.

"Ye Hu, Ye Hu, the Prime Minister's military order has arrived!"

The personal retinue came in a panic, holding a copper pipe in his hand.

Gu Lulu was illiterate, and he had Han military officials who accompanied the army to check it for him.

"The Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty has an order, from now on, leave behind enemy lines and assemble on the east bank of the Ji River in the south of Gorgan, at any time!"

Gu Lulu was puzzled.

"The general said, what is the prime minister giving such an order for?"

He couldn't read Chinese characters, but he could speak Chinese, and he looked at the Han military officials reciting military orders in front of him with great dissatisfaction.

In fact, Gu Lulu knew that these were all sent by the Tang people to monitor him, but everything he was doing now was given by the Tang people, so wouldn't it be natural for them to send a prison guard to sit in town?

Ten miles to the west, a large convoy of baggage was found, and there were cavalry guards, and it seems that there should be something very important to transport!"

Gu Lulu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately led his troops to grab a vote.

However, he was stopped in front of the Han prison army.

"Ye Hu must abide by the prime minister's military order, if he makes any unauthorized moves, he can cut it first and then play!"

The Han prison army has always been very polite to these barbarian tribes, especially the Qarlu tribe has a bad record of betraying and defecting, and it has been able to live with them without incident these days, and it has done great restraint.

The overseer's face was calm and cold, and when he saw that Gu Lu was seriously showing fear, and his face was bruised, he said again:

"Does Ye Hu know how the 10,000 new army of the Persian prince Kusi Lao was wiped out?"

"How?"

Grolo knew, of course, that Zamas's son, Kuthlao, was a young man like an eagle and a wolf, and had afflicted many who dared to covet the city of Dotta.

Now, when he suddenly heard the prison guard mention this, he had already guessed the reason.

"Does it have something to do with the convoy of baggage?"

The overseer said slowly:

"Ku Si Lao's new army went deep behind enemy lines at the beginning, and it was also extremely distressing to the big cannibals, and later the big cannibals used more than a dozen carts of gold as bait, Ku Si Lao finally couldn't resist the temptation, step by step into the trap, and ended up with a humiliating end of annihilation, I hope Ye Hu will take it as a warning!"

Gu Lulu hesitated for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"Fortunately, the prison army reminded me that Gu Dulu strictly obeyed the military orders of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty!"

After that, he ordered his cavalry to withdraw to the east of the Ji River, waiting for orders, and waiting for an opportunity to move.

The next day, Mahdi saw the military reports that had been sent one after another, but the result made him very disappointed, and the barbarian cavalry attached to the Tang people were like cunning foxes smelling the scent, and instead of rushing up, they gradually withdrew, only in the distance like a wolf, as if waiting for fatter and safer meat to appear before rushing out and biting.

Mahdi shook his head and sighed:

"It's no wonder that the Persians were wiped out like this, those remnants of the Persian soldiers will inevitably slip through the net, and they will definitely inform the Tang people of these circumstances after they flee back, but it's a pity, it's a pity, it......'s a pity."

Said witnessed the whole process of Mahdi's arrangement, meticulous and meticulous, and now that he was in trouble, he became interested and planned to see how this Great Food Prince played against the Shenwu Army on the battlefield!
