Ye Qinghu ordered a hundred spies to go to Hutouling, the western hilly area to investigate.

The results obtained were almost no different from what Yang Yue expected, and there were indeed Turkic elite horses in the two places.

Knowing that Yi Ran had ambushed soldiers on the two wings of the Wangting Iron Cavalry, Yang Yue secretly scolded Yi Ran for being insidious.

After seeing through Yi Ran's plan, he couldn't help but laugh again.

At present, the spies have not yet ascertained the number of ambushes on both flanks, but it has been confirmed that Yiran led Jun into the urn, and the Tang army took the opportunity to calculate it.

Take advantage of Yiran's arrangements to catch up with the other party as soon as possible.

In one fell swoop, he defeated the royal court iron cavalry led by Yi Ran and annihilated the hidden ambushes on both sides.

After that, the Turks will be reduced to the clouds of the past and disappear in the steppe.

When he thought about it for a while, Yang Yue instructed the messenger to convey orders to Luo Shishang and Guo Xiaocai, and instructed Guo and Luo's second generals to lead 100,000 elite cavalry under their command to slowly approach the direction of Hutouling in the east, looking for vigilance against Turkic ambushes and blocking them on the flank.

Instructed Zhang Shaoming, Nandao Ming, to lead 100,000 elite cavalry, lead the troops to the west, and also monitor and guard against the Turkic cavalry, cutting off their connection with Yiran's main force.

Yang Yue's plan was very simple, since Yi Ran chose to divide his troops, he finally gathered troops to encircle and annihilate the Tang army that was alone in depth.

He took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the division of troops among the generals under Yi Ran, and their respective strength was weakened, seizing the golden opportunity and sending troops to break them one by one.

No matter what arrangements Iraq makes, don't think about gathering troops in one place.

He, together with Lin Kaiyue, Zhao Xuanhu, and Ye Qinghu, continued to lead the intense pursuit.

In two days, the Tang army advanced 300 miles into the grassland.

According to the feedback from the spies who came back from the front, the Tang Army and the Yiran Department were only half a day apart.

If the Tang army travels under the stars, within half a day, it will definitely catch up with Yiran.

However, Yang Yue did not order the three armies to chase after him, but instead slowed down and took the opportunity to rest when he was vigilant in all directions.

If they meet the Iranbu, a bloody battle between the two armies will inevitably break out.

What's more, Yiran is prepared to fight, waiting for work, and nine times out of ten he will build a defensive offensive in the front.

This battle was not only tragic, but also a bitter battle.

Can't be despised either.

......

In the grassland, when Yi Ran led the army forward, he also constantly sent spies to reconnoiter the traces of the Tang army.

Yi Ran's attitude towards the Tang army was very complicated, hoping that the Tang army would take the risk of advancing into the steppe and take the opportunity to ambush and annihilate, but he didn't want the Tang army to chase after him, so he could lead the army back to the Western Front and attack Anthony.

However, he also knows the situation on the battlefield and will not change because of his thoughts.

Two sets of preparations were made in advance, and he still insisted on destroying the Tang Army first.

Knowing that Yang Yue led the army into the grassland, he was in hot pursuit in the rear, and when the two sides were close at hand, Yi Ran made the decision to fight.

"King Khan, Yang Yue is arrogant, dares to despise our department, and leads his troops into the grassland for hundreds of miles, which clearly wants to annihilate our department." As the army marched forward, Wen Boyan said indignantly.

For decades, the Don Army did not dare to cross the line.

This time, Yang Yue broke the precedent and led the troops to chase after him without fear.

Yang Yue, deceiving people too much.

In the Turkic territory, chasing them relentlessly, are you really not afraid of the royal court's iron cavalry and the army?

Hearing this, Yi Ran had a thick smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything.

"Mr. Wen, what are you afraid of, our department has returned to the hinterland of the tribe and is familiar with the terrain on all sides, can't you fight a battle, Yang Yue didn't come with the army alive or dead, in the eyes of this king, he is asking for his own death." King Zuo Gu Li's face was hideous, and his tone was a little violent, but he was full of confidence.

The royal court is good at fighting and shooting.

A large-scale charge was enough to kill half of the Tang army.

Clenching his blade, he turned his head to Yi Ran and said: "King Khan, Yang Yue led the troops into our territory as expected, and the current position of the Tang army is already in our ambush circle, so there is no need to continue to retreat."

The last general suggested that he should find a suitable place to arrange his troops and take the opportunity to ambush the Tang army and capture Yang Yue alive. ”

Remove?

The army could not be withdrawn, and he could not return to the royal court in embarrassment, and he never had this idea.

Yang Yue came uninvited, why not fight heartily.

"Yang Yue led the army to come, and he was indeed looking for death, but according to the spies' report, the number of troops under his command has decreased sharply, and he may have noticed the arrangements of our department in advance, and sent generals to lead troops to find General Su, General Yan's traces, which should not be taken lightly." Yi Ran said excitedly and cautiously.

He couldn't wait to immediately lead his troops to ambush the Tang army, capture Yang Yue alive, and resolve the urgent need.

So I can free my hands and clean up Anthony.

How could this battle decide the life and death of the tribe, and without complete certainty, he did not dare to issue military orders at will.

"King Khan, if Yang Yue guesses King Khan's plan, at this time, our troops should attack in advance and catch the Tang army off guard, otherwise the Tang army will strike first, and our department will be in a very passive situation." King Zuo Gu Li suggested.

He hated Yang Yue, hated him to the core, but he didn't dare to despise Yang Yue.

If the plan is leaked, Yang Yue and his generals may formulate a targeted strategy to target them.

This battle should be resolved quickly, and we must not drag the mud and water and delay the fighters.

"King Khan, you can't look ahead anymore, maybe the Tang army has an advantage in numbers, but you are not familiar with the environment in the grassland, in a short period of time, it is difficult to find the traces of General Yan and General Su, and the King of Khan should quickly send a messenger to convey the military order to the two generals, so that General Yan and General Su will lead the troops back and work together to encircle and suppress the Tang army according to the plan." Wen Boyan's tone was a little more anxious and said.

This battle is a battle of fighting spirit, fighting quantity, and the most important thing is to compete with the determination and courage of the commanders of both sides.

Yang Yue dared to lead the army to come, why didn't they dare to raise troops to destroy him?

Hearing this, Yi Ran raised his horsewhip and shouted: "King Zuogu Li, you lead the troops as the vanguard, Wen Boyan, you lead the troops to be vigilant in the rear, the whole army enters the battle state, and is ready to ambush Yang Yue."

After giving the order, Yi Ran ordered the messenger to go to the two flanks to march to Yan, and Su Li conveyed the military order to besiege the Tang army.

Deling, King Liwang of Zuogu, Wen Boyan, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The two sides turned their horses' heads and went to the front army and the rear army respectively, reorganizing their troops and horses to prepare for battle.

After the king of Zuogu Li arrived in the south, he raised his sword and shouted: "Yang Yue led the troops to pursue, according to the order of the king of Khan, the army stopped advancing, quickly found a suitable place, dug a trap for horses, scattered thistle terrestris, shield defense, archers shot and killed, elite cavalry charged, to meet the Tang army."

"Meet the Tang Army!"

"Meet the Tang Army!"

When the elite cavalry slowly moving forward learned of the military order, they stopped at the horse, and raised their ordnance one by one and shouted in unison.

In the north, Wen Boyan commanded the deployment of the three armies, and did not dare to carry the slightest carry.

The entire army of nearly 200,000 elite cavalry was quickly distributed in all directions, and within a radius of 30 miles, it was deployed in a stable and orderly manner.

Yi Ran, Wen Boyan, and King Zuogu Li knew that the Tang army was only half a day's journey away from them, and if the march went well, Yang Yue would lead the troops to dusk.

If you want to ambush the Tang army and capture Yang Yue alive, you must do all the defenses before the Tang army arrives.
