Chapter 192: The enemy retreats

"The enemy has retreated! The enemy forces have retreated! Looking at Xue Yantuo's army, which was like the tide receding, the defenders of the city suddenly let out cheers. 35xs

"I didn't expect this Xue Yantuo to be too vulnerable."

"Your Highness only needs to use a little trick, so that they will break their courage and dare not launch an attack on Wantong City." An East Palace military attache said.

When he went out of Chang'an for the first time, he was somewhat frightened by Xue Yantuo's army coming to the city.

At the same time, there is more blood boiling.

originally thought it would be a vicious battle, but who knew that the other party would be so vulnerable.

Just scare it, and it will already be crushed.

He not only thought that with such an army, why would he dare to offend the Tang Dynasty.

"Don't underestimate Xue Yantuo, the soldiers and horses of the clan have never moved." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness is right! These people who launched an attack on Wantong City were not the soldiers and horses of Xue Yantuo's own clan. ”

"They should be a patchwork army of various tribes, and the soldiers and horses of their own tribe should be arranged to oversee the army at the rear." Obsessively said.

As he has dealt with Xue Yantuo for so many years, he can naturally tell it at a glance.

It was the soldiers and horses of the tribes that had just been charged, or the soldiers and horses of their own tribes.

"This time, Bazhuo suffered a loss outside Wantong City, and he didn't get any bargains, I'm afraid he won't give up, and we still need to be careful. 35xs," Tian Ren said.

"What General Tian said is that Xue Yantuo is a little strange today, and there has never been a rout like this in the past, which is really incomprehensible." Lost in thought and wondered.

He has been dealing with Xue Yantuo for many years, and he knows how strong Xue Yantuo's combat power is.

But it will definitely not be as weak as today, and this is where the stubbornness and confusion lie.

"It seems that we, the newly appointed Domi Khan, are so unpopular that these people are not willing to work hard for Bazhuo." Li Chengqian looked at the enemy army that was gradually moving away.

"What did Your Highness say by that? Maybe it's a trick of the enemy! The intention was to lure our army to attack, but in fact, there were ambushes long ago. ”

"If our army rushes out of the city, it will definitely be ambushed by the enemy! Otherwise, Xue Yantuo's army would definitely not have withdrawn like this. "Persistence.

This is the result of his understanding and analysis of Xue Yantuo.

Li Chengqian did not agree with the statement that he was losing his thinking power, and now Bazhuo had just sat in the position of Khan, and his foundation was not stable, so he was in a hurry to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Will his gang of clan leaders with different surnames agree? Will there be no comments?

This is obviously impossible!

If Bazhuo wants to establish merit and prestige by provoking the Tang Dynasty, it will not work by driving the soldiers and horses of other tribes. 35xs

He can only use his own soldiers and horses to go south to make contributions.

Pity! His army of 30,000 was hated in the territory of Xiazhou, and the whole army was annihilated.

Mobei's army can't be mobilized at will, after all, he also needs to guard against whether other tribes will rebel against him.

If he drains his internal forces, he is likely to be wiped out.

As for driving the other tribes to charge for him, I am afraid that no one is willing to do so, unless there is enough benefit to move their hearts.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Bazhuo to mobilize the forces of other tribes.

Obviously, the reason why the other tribes were able to follow Bazhuo south this time was mostly because of the Tang Emperor's expedition to Goguryeo.

They felt that they could take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money by going south this time, but who knew that the Tang Emperor had already thought of this and arranged it early.

These tribes see that there is no benefit to be gained, and they may even offend the Tang Dynasty, which is the opposite of their original purpose.

Naturally, they were reluctant to continue southward and had already developed the mentality of retreating.

"Nope! Uncle, you are too high-minded! If he hadn't struck first and killed his brother, who would have embraced him to become a khan. ”

"But even if Bazhuo ascends to the throne of Khan, the tribes below are unwilling to obey the tribe, especially the Uighurs, who are second only to Xue Yantuo in strength, and will not support Bazhuo."

"In order to be able to secure his Khan position, Bazhuo must make enough military achievements to prove that he can sit firmly in the Khan position, so what should Bazhuo do?" Li Chengqian asked as he spoke.

"If Bazhuo wants to make enough military achievements to secure his throne, then he must attack nearby countries."

"To the east of Xue Yeontuo is the situation of the chaos of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo, and the strength is the weakest."

"It's just that the east is small and low, and the people are strong, Your Majesty is now in Liaodong, so Xue Yantuo will definitely not attack the east."

"The west is Tubo, Tubo is strong, Xue Yantuo is not an opponent at all, and he is not stupid, so naturally it will not be the west."

"Now that Your Majesty is on an expedition, my Datang is undoubtedly the best target, and Your Majesty has long expected this, so we will prepare early."

"Seeing that there is no chance to take advantage of it, maybe he just wants to lure me out of the city, set up an ambush outside the city, pretend to be defeated to lure our army out of the city, and then take our army by surprise." Obsessed with the power of thought.

He still believed that Bazhuo was engaged in a conspiracy, otherwise he would not have retreated so easily.

Although their front army was disorganized and looked like they had fled in defeat, it could be seen from the calm and neat retreat of their Chinese army.

Bazhuo did not flee because of defeat, but deliberately wanted to lure the Tang army out of the city to pursue, and then counterattack back, taking the Tang army by surprise.

"Nope! The widow thought that Bazhuo was really retreating, and this time the tribes were able to follow Bazhuo south, mainly because of his father's expedition. ”

"Others think the same as Bazhuo, thinking that my Datang is empty, and they want to take this opportunity to fight the autumn wind."

"They didn't expect that their father had already prepared, and now Uncle Jiangxia is sitting in Shuozhou, Ashina Sheer is in Shengzhou, and Xue Guwu, the general of Zuowuhou, is sitting in Lingzhou."

"They have no chance to take advantage of it, the tribes will inevitably want to retreat to Mobei, and Bazhuo will definitely not agree, so he suppressed the tribal generals who opposed him."

"Collected the soldiers and horses of these generals, and used these forcibly incorporated soldiers and horses as cannon fodder, so that they could storm Wantong City."

"These people are not stupid, naturally they will not really serve Bazhuo, so we just used the fire attack, and they broke up directly!"

"Bazhuo couldn't collect these routs, so he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army, and now if our army can go out of the city to meet the enemy and pursue the victory, it will definitely make achievements." Li Chengqian said.

He analyzed this problem from another angle, and guessed a few reasons for the withdrawal of troops.

If you take the opportunity to go out of the city to pursue, even if you can't destroy the Bazhuo Division, you will be able to gain something.

Pity! No one will believe the words of a battlefield newcomer.
