Chapter 1018: A Strategy to Harass the Enemy

The East is both white.

Fog in the wilderness.

On the hills, the elite of the strikers are still working tirelessly to build fortifications.

At this moment, the forward 30,000 iron horsemen were exhausted, their faces haggard, and they were like walking corpses.

Since noon yesterday, most of the time, they have been building fortifications, vigilant against the Tang army, and their thoughts are in a state of tension.

At this time, if a Tang army suddenly came, the two or thirty thousand tired and tired iron cavalry would definitely not have time to meet the battle, and the whole army would be defeated.

However, in order to stop the Tang army's strong charge, they strengthened the trench built yesterday and dug a new trench again, specifically to avoid the earth-shaking thunder and the Divine Fire Flying Crow.

Hundreds of steps away from the hills, many horse traps were dug and many sharp wooden sticks were buried.

If a Tang army rushes and reaches the hills, it must first eradicate thousands of living forces on the other side.

Yi Ran looked haggard, rubbed his eyes, and had not slept all night, he was really tired, but he did not wait for the Tang army to come.

I can't help but feel a little scared and a little lost.

Standing up and looking at the soldiers who were still busy, Yi Ran coughed twice, and ordered his own soldiers: "Order all the elite forwards to rest and recuperate, and the Chinese army will move forward to defend here, and beware of the Tang army coming." ”

Tang Jun rested for a night, he was really afraid of Yang Yue, Lin Kaiyue took a strategy to harass the enemy, and took advantage of the exhaustion of the forward soldiers to launch a fierce attack.

"Whoa!"

The soldiers departed.

Soon the forwards and the Chinese army exchanged positions, and the lurking place was in turmoil.

At this time, King Zuo Gu Liwang slowly got up and rested for half a night, his physical injuries did not recover, and his lips became more and more pale and weak.

I couldn't help but look up at the front and observe the movements of the Tang army.

In the mist, there was a rumbling snare drum in front of him, and King Zuogu Li didn't have time to freshen up, and he was suddenly shocked.

Looking forward again, in the mist, there was no trace of the Tang army, but the familiar sound of horses' hooves was heard.

"King Khan, the Tang army is coming, the Tang army is coming."

King Zuogu Li turned his head and reported to Yiran in a hurry.

The sound of the snare drums was tight and intense, and the sound of horses' hooves was rapid and loud, how could Yi Ran not notice it, and his expression became terrified.

What are you afraid of?

Not long ago, he was still worried that Yang Yue would take the strategy of harassing the enemy, and he would lead his troops to attack in the early morning, and the sky had not yet completely brightened, and the Tang army actually came.

Yi Ran grabbed the scimitar, hurriedly turned around and shouted to the soldiers who were adjusting: "The Tang army is coming, the whole army cheers up and prepares for war on the spot." ”

When the military order came out, the iron cavalry of Wang Ting, who was ready to rest, had to stay in place, and his tired body grabbed his blade and shuttled through the trenches, ravines, and fortifications, alerting the Tang army that was rapidly approaching.

"This group of ones."

In the tired iron horse, someone scolded coldly.

Busy in the middle of the night, before resting to recover his strength and replenish food, the Tang army actually came, and the forward and the Chinese army have not yet been replaced, how can they fight.

In times of crisis, they dare not underestimate the enemy, for fear that they will be careless and leave their lives here.

In the hurry of the army, more than a thousand iron horsemen appeared in the mist, and after approaching fiercely, they did not attack, only after shooting from the periphery, the army actually retreated, and disappeared without a trace in the mist.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Yi Ran, King Zuo Gu Liwang muttered in his heart, what the hell are Yang Yue and Lin Kaiyue doing.

A thousand iron horsemen were sent to charge, but they did not come close to their fortifications, and without even killing a single person, they retreated.

Forward, the Chinese army is bravely preparing for war, isn't it in vain?

For a moment, they stared at each other and were quite depressed.

The morning sun was rising, they had just relaxed, and in the southern Tang army camp, rumbling drums sounded again, and more than a thousand iron horsemen galloped from the south, and Yiran led the troops to cheer up.

This wave of Tang troops approached and attacked the Wangting Iron Cavalry, but dozens of Iron Cavalry in the forward were ambushed by the horse pit, and almost all of them were killed instantly.

The follow-up Iron Riders slowed down their charge, and outside the trap, ignited the Divine Fire Flying Crow to attack Yiran and them.

However, after a simple attack, the iron cavalry quickly retreated.

In the next half day, a wave of Tang army iron cavalry rushed from the south, some iron cavalry rode horses, and would launch a wave of attack, as if testing the deployment of the Turkic iron cavalry, and soon turned south, and some iron cavalry rushed to the south, just rushed simply, wandered in front of their fortifications in Yiran, insulted, and immediately retreated.

As a result, Yi Ran led the troops to fight, and he couldn't rest and recuperate, and when he was afraid of slackening, the Tang army suddenly really attacked.

Yi Ran, King Zuogu Li looked at the tired and weak soldiers beside him, and looked at the Tang army iron cavalry that had just rushed from the south, the anger squeezed by King Zuogu Li completely exploded, and he scolded angrily: "This group of miscellaneous people is clearly deliberately teasing everyone, King Khan, let the last general lead the troops to rush out, and teach them a hard lesson."

A soldier may be killed, but not humiliated.

The Tang army came in waves, attacking them, not to mention, but also to challenge their bottom line.

Don't say that he can't bear it, and neither can the tired soldiers.

Besides, let the Tang army make trouble, the three armies must not rest, and when the Tang army really attacks, how can they stop it.

"King Zuo Gu Li, don't be angry, I'm afraid things are not as simple as you imagined!" Wen Boyan, who came from the rear and observed the enemy's situation, grabbed the arm of King Liking of Zuo Gu and reminded: "As the saying goes, if the enemy is weak, it will attack, and if the enemy is stationed, it will be disturbed.

If the prince loses his mind and leads the troops to rush out, I believe that the well-prepared Tang army will pounce like a pack of wolves from all directions, and once the prince leads the troops to defeat and retreat in chaos, the Tang army will quickly launch a major counteroffensive and will annihilate our army in large numbers."

After saying that, Wen Boyan turned to Yi Ran and said, "King Khan, if your guess is correct, Yang Yue sent troops to attack and harass, and nine times out of ten they are waiting for the Tang army to go to the two wings, waiting for the convergence of the armies, and then launch a final attack on us from all directions."

"It's not impossible." Yi Ran nodded, and said worriedly: "At present, Su Li has lost contact with Yan Xingjun and Su Li, I don't know what their situation is, if Yang Yue has this plan, it will be dangerous for us to stay here."

Under Wen Boyan's reminder, although his anger has not been eliminated, his mood has calmed down a lot, and he said: "King Khan, if Yang Yue really intends to fight to the death with our army here, it is imperative to find Yan Xingjun as soon as possible, Su Li, if they can stop the Tang army that is going to the two wings, they must be eliminated as soon as possible, and then lead the army to help the main force, if they have been attacked by the Tang army and the situation is not good, they must give up the plan of besieging the Tang army, so that they can go north to join the main force, and the two sides will have a final battle with the Tang army here."

"It's possible!" Yi Ran bowed his head and ordered with a serious expression: "King Zuogu Li, you go and arrange, Wen Boyan, before the reinforcements from the two wings of the Tang Army arrive, they will not launch a large-scale attack for a while, and arrange for the three armies to take turns to rest and meet the enemy at any time."
