Chapter 902: Turmoil in the Withdrawal of Troops
At night, the Western Turkic camp. After encountering the Tang army, they ran wildly for half a day, and only stopped for about fifty or sixty miles before they stopped to rest and set up camp.
Although the camp is calm on the surface, there is a strange atmosphere flowing in the quiet atmosphere.
In the commander's tent, Lust Valley sat opposite his henchman Tiemu.
"Khan, your wounds...
"My injuries are fine." Desire Gu Shi waved his hand and asked with a calm face, "Have you gone out for a walk during this time of the night?" ”
Tiemu nodded: "I went to see it when the gang started, Khan, I'm afraid that the soldiers will not have the fighting spirit, and it will be difficult for us to fight with the Tang Army." ”
"No fighting spirit? With a small defeat, why do you lose your fighting spirit? My warriors of the Western Turks, are they so unbearable? Desire Gu She's face flushed with excitement, and he didn't realize that during the day today, he was the one who was scared the most by Tang Jun.
Tiemu shook his head and sighed: "Khan, the thunderbolt of the Tang army is too sharp. We have nothing to gain by fighting them, and most importantly ... Khan, in the three major battles, the Tang army fought more with less, but we 。。。。。。 Temu didn't say more, but the meaning was already self-evident.
Their army and the Tang army encountered three times, large and small, each time with more and less blows, although they did not really distinguish the winner from the loser, but they fought like this, it is not an exaggeration to say that they were defeated.
After all, there are so many fewer people than you in terms of numbers, and you can only barely cope, what if the number of people on both sides is equal?
The most important thing is that Thunderbolt, which was originally not favored by Desire Valley, played an unexpected role in the plains battle. Not to mention the killing and wounding of so many Western Turkic soldiers, it completely blew up their morale.
Now that the morale of his troops is low, it is undoubtedly more difficult to turn back and engage the Tang army.
The idea of seizing the Beiting Protectorate, Desire Valley also had to be snuffed out in his stomach.
The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and it is difficult to say whether he wants to be considered Junjie, but he is definitely a person who knows the times, and he understands that he has missed the best opportunity to occupy the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and it is pointless to fight again, and it will make his subordinates sacrifice in vain, which will affect the stability of his regime.
After figuring out the key, Desire Gu Sheh no longer hesitated, turned his head to Tiemu and said, "Tiemu, get ready, tomorrow we will withdraw our troops and return to the Western Turks!" ”
Tiemu was puzzled and asked: "Khan, the low morale is only temporary, we still have the strength to fight, why do we have to ......?"
"Could it be that after the morale is restored, we will be beaten by the Tang army again before retreating? Ironwood, we... Can't fight the Tang Army. Lust Gu Shi sighed, his face full of gloom.
As soon as the master makes a move, he will know if there is one. Obviously, after three short encounters with the Tang Army, Desire Valley clearly realized that he was not the opponent of the Tang Army, and no longer planned to be an enemy of the Tang Army.
"Khan, since you want to withdraw from the army, the knotted khan's side ........"
"Knotty Khan?" A sneer appeared on Desire Gu She's face, and his expression was full of disdain, "It's just a small tribe that is upside down, don't worry about them!" Whether it's us or Datang, it's not something they can afford to mess with! If you have gas, you can only swallow it! ”
Dumbfounded, Tiemu nodded, and fell silent in the tent.
Early the next morning, the order to withdraw the troops was issued to the whole battalion, which made all the soldiers who were depressed finally breathe a long sigh of relief. Although the Western Turks were born fierce, they were still timid in the face of death. The Tang Army's weapon is really too powerful, and it can't be guarded, so people don't dare to face it. Therefore, they have no idea of continuing to fight, and if they can withdraw their troops and go home as soon as possible, they can be regarded as picking up a life, which is worth a little celebration. The soldiers were much more cheerful in packing their things.
Only the people of the Bone Tribe were not so happy. They were brought out by the Western Turks to deal with the Tang army by half-forced and half-bewitched, and the result? He didn't get any benefits, but he lost thousands of soldiers, which can be described as stealing chickens and rice.
Instead of blaming themselves, they certainly took the blame on themselves, but pointed the finger at the Western Turks.
At noon that day, the Khan led more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to surround the handsome camp set up in the valley to ask for an explanation.
The Western Turkic soldiers who discovered the anomaly immediately surrounded the people of the Bone Tribe, but unfortunately Desire Valley was surrounded by the Khan of the Bone in the camp, and the people outside could not be rescued, and the atmosphere became very tense.
"Knotted Khan, what do you mean?" Wanting Gu Shu pushed open the curtain of the tent and walked out of it, four guards came out of his side, and there was no one else.
If the Khan wanted to chop him with a knife, it would be enough for him to die ten thousand times.
"What do you mean? I think Khan probably knows it very well in his heart. My Bone Tribe took such a big risk to go out with you, and if you didn't listen to my advice, you had to fight hard with the thunderbolt of the Tang Army, and retreated so easily, where did you leave my Bone Tribe? After this trip, I have lost so many cattle, horses and soldiers in vain, how can you compensate me? ”
"Knotted Khan, fighting is risky, losing is losing, you can only say that your own strength is not good, and you can't blame others." Desire Valley said expressionlessly.
How could the Khan of the Knot listen to these crooked truths? Pulling out the steel knife in his hand, he pointed at Desire Valley Set impatiently, and said angrily: "Desire Valley Set, you have to quibble!" Now I don't want to say more to you, since you want to withdraw your troops, then withdraw simply! You compensate me for my losses, and we will go our separate ways from now on! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will chop you now! ”
There was not the slightest panic on his face, he stared at the Knotted Khan, and said calmly: "Knotted Khan, you have to think clearly, if you kill me, you won't be able to escape here today!" ”
The Khan of the Knot was furious: "I ......."
"Also, the two of us are defeated, it is not good for anyone, but it makes Tang Jun pick up the leaks in vain, think about your compatriots, think about your people, are you sure you want to fight with me here?"
"You....... Hum! Desire valley set, you have this mouth is amazing! Yes! Lao Tzu doesn't want to fight to the death with you today, as long as you give me enough benefits and let me go, let's clear up, how about it? ”
"What benefits do you want?"
Knotted Khan grinned, grinning and reaching out for a gesture. "It's very simple, how about 10,000 war horses, 1,000 sets of swords, and 1,000 sets of bows and arrows? I believe that the dignified Ebilu Khan, this little thing can still be handled, right? I've given in. ”
Desire Gu Shi frowned slightly, and secretly scolded the knotted Khan in his heart, but on the surface, he made a promise with a smile.
"Okay, let my guards go out and give orders, and things will be ready for you immediately!"
Hearing this, the Knotted Khan's face revealed... A satisfied smile.
