Chapter 1004: Annihilation of the Enemy Army
As the fire spreads, the entire city is in flames.
Houses are collapsing, streets are covered with scars and broken walls, and the city is like a huge furnace.
This place is not a place to stay for a long time, Guo Xiaocai did not dare to joke with the lives of the Xiao cavalry, and led the Xiao cavalry to evacuate outside the city non-stop along the route pointed out by the captive.
Even if they didn't stay, some of the cavalry were still engulfed in flames during the evacuation.
The piercing wail is heartbreaking, and there is nothing to be done, and it is impossible to rescue the former robe in the diffuse flames.
The cavalry retreated in anger, and the Turkic cavalry they encountered along the way almost killed them mercilessly.
More than half of the soldiers under his command were lost, and Guo Xiao rode luckily to lead the remnants of the army to rush out of the city of Dongshou.
At this moment, the entire city was completely covered with raging fire, like a huge furnace, and the fire was overwhelming.
Guo Xiao rode his horse and sat on horseback, turned his head to look at the flames that rushed to the outside of the city, and was shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately the Xiao cavalry evacuated in time, if they were evacuated half a moment later, or if they did not find the retreat prepared by the Turks in advance, they would definitely be engulfed by the blazing flames, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
There was no time to straighten out the soldiers and horses, count the casualties, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from a little distance, pulling back Guo Xiaoqi's thoughts.
Turning his head to the north of the city, Timur led some of the remaining remnants of the army, and after rushing out of the north gate, he happened to encounter the Tang army under Lin Kaiyue's command, and the two sides had a small fierce battle outside the north gate.
Seeing Temur leading the troops to fight the trapped beasts, Guo Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile on his face.
In order to destroy the Tang army, Timur was scheming, wanting to use the fire to severely damage the cavalry army, how do you know that people are not as good as the sky, he led his troops to escape from the city of Dongshou, instead of getting rid of the Tang army, but threw himself into the net and got into the encirclement of the Tang army.
In a hurry, he was attacked head-on by the Tang army and made such a low-level mistake.
Now Temur wants to rely on less than 1,000 remnants of troops to break through the 50,000 well-trained and well-prepared Tang army under Lin Kaiyue, which is a fool's dream.
This old man set fire to the city, causing the Tang Dynasty to lose a city in vain, and not killing it was not enough to calm the anger of the three armies.
Guo Xiaoqi did not hesitate, and shouted sharply: "The three armies attack, annihilate all the Turks on the battlefield, cut off the head of Timur, and avenge the brothers who died in battle."
New hatred and old hatred are superimposed, and today Timur will surely die.
When the military order came out, the cold and angry cavalry rushed forward and rushed to the center of the panicked battlefield.
......
The two Tang armies, which were able to fight well, attacked back and forth, and it took almost no effort to completely wipe out the remnants of the troops under the command of Temur.
When the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they found Timur's body in the corpse and transported it to Lin Kaiyue, Guo Xiao rode in front of him, looking at Timur's scarred corpse, Lin Kaiyue, Guo Xiao rode it, except for anger, there was nothing to say.
Temur led an army of 5,000 daredevils, not only inflicting a lot of casualties on the cavalry army in the eastern surrendered city, but also destroying a city with his own hands.
Even if you kill Temur and take back the city of Dongshou, you will have to spend a lot of money and food to rebuild the city.
Lin Kaiyue glared at Temur's corpse and said, "Dispose of the corpse, Mingjin will collect the troops, and the three armies will set up camp in the north of the Eastern Surrender City."
The Turkic army either withdrew or died in battle, and the threat to the northern frontier was completely eliminated.
At this moment, he urgently needs to return to Fengzhou City and report to Yang Yue on the battle situation on the front line.
Decide whether the Tang army will take advantage of the victory to pursue, raise troops to the north, go deep into the grassland to find Yiran, Zuogu Liwang and other tribes, and completely destroy the other party.
When the army was cleaning up the battlefield, suddenly, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the east, and soon, two elite Tang armies appeared.
After a while, Yuan Mingsha and Luo Shishang led seventy or eighty thousand elite horsemen to come with a rainbow of momentum.
After the army gathered, Lin Kaiyue and Guo Xiaoqi looked at Yuan Mingsha, Luo Shishang was secretly curious, they had just eradicated Temur and had not yet taken advantage of the victory to pursue.
The second general of Luo Shishang led the troops to come, could it be that they led the army on the eastern front to completely defeat Yan Xing's army, Wen Boyan, and recover the surrendered city and Shengzhou?
Riding his horse close to the two, Lin Kaiyue clasped his fists and saluted, and asked, "General Yuan, General Luo, you suddenly led the army to come, could it be that you have achieved a great victory on the Eastern Front?"
If you regain the surrendered city of Dongshou and Shengzhou, you will have the opportunity to gather all the elites in the north, go deep into the steppe, and fight to the death with the Turks.
What's more, the elite troops in the north have gathered, and the chances of victory of the army have greatly increased.
Hearing this, Luo Shishang looked a little lost, and said very unhappily: "General Lin, last night, Yan marched, Wen Boyan led the silent abandonment of the city and fled, Luo and General Yuan led the troops to chase here, the spies on the front line reported, the east was surrendered to the city full of smoke, the flames soared to the sky, and specially led the army to find out."
Yan marched, Wen Boyan led the army to evacuate?
Lin Kaiyue and Guo Xiaoqi heard the sound, their expressions were slightly surprised, very curious, and very puzzled.
Yi Ran, King Liwang of Zuogu led the army to evacuate, Yan March, Wen Boyan, and led the army to evacuate, could it be that the Turks were really ready to concentrate the main force in the steppe and fight to the death with the Tang army?
"General Yuan, General Luo, Yi Ran, Zuogu Liwang and others led the army to evacuate, and Timur led 5,000 elites to stay in the city, wanting to use the fire to severely damage the cavalry led by General Guo, but it has been driven out of the city by General Guo, but unfortunately the city was burned by the old horseman.
At present, the Tang army has completely annihilated the Temur Department, and is preparing to go south to join the emperor and discuss the next battle!" Lin Kaiyue said: "Now, the two generals are coming with the army, and we happen to converge and lead the army deep into the grassland!"
Yi Ran, King Zuogu Liwang and others led the army to evacuate?
Luo Shishang, Yuan Mingsha was secretly surprised.
When Yan Xingjun led the evacuation, they thought that the other party had recently lost troops and did not dare to confront the Tang army anymore, so they led the army to evacuate.
Unexpectedly, it was an organized, premeditated arrangement.
No wonder Yan marched, Wen Boyan led the army to the north, and quickly led the army to transfer into the grassland.
"General Lin, General Guo, since all the Turkic generals and troops have gathered, we should also lead the army to gather with the emperor as soon as possible, and now, the Tang army is like a rainbow, just taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and is striving to inflict heavy losses on the Turkic deserters in the grassland!" Luo Shi Shangdao.
At present, Li Yucheng led the army to defend the surrendered city, and Yiran led the Turkic elite to withdraw to the northwest.
"This move is very good, General Guo, you and General Yuan stay to guard the camp, Lin and General Luo, General Zhang, return to Fengzhou as soon as possible to discuss the follow-up!" Lin Kaiyue commanded.
Now, they have driven all the Turks into the steppe, and the Sassanid threat is on the western front, and the whole Turkic is in a state of being attacked from the back of the enemy, and the situation is dire.
Today, Temur led his army to burn down the city of Dongshou, and in the coming day, when he found traces of the Turks, they would definitely inflict heavy losses on each other.
