It is inevitable that Wang Hanxin can judge the true movements of Abichilir, because there is a shadow of a person in his mind, that is, Themon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This time Abicheril's action was extremely risky, but the point of attack was so to the point, although Abiciel's own use of troops provided the inevitability of success for all this, but Wang Hanxin noticed that this could not be from Abicheril's strategy. Wang Hanxin once analyzed Abiciel's use of troops from previous examples, and he found that although Abiciel's use of troops was bold and practical, in fact, he rarely made moves that had no chance of winning, such as this long drive into the rear of the Silk Country and even threatened Chang'an City, which was very unreasonable, because as long as he was careless, he would be self-defeating and put himself in a desperate situation, unless Abiciel had left a way back from the beginning. When this idea overlapped with the shadow of this person, Wang Hanxin suddenly became enlightened. Speaking of which, Teemon has been in the Huizhou area much longer than himself, and he must have established his own sphere of influence in the local area, especially the local geography, and Teemon's resourcefulness has also been taught by himself. If Themon had offered Abiciel this plan, and Abciliel had adopted his plan, it would have been a foolproof plan. Therefore, through the Huizhou region is the only way to retreat, from the beginning Abicil did not plan to attack Chang'an City, what he wanted to do was actually to disrupt the defense deployment of the entire northern Silk Country, so that Emperor Liu Yan felt a real threat, so as to re-establish his prestige in Tuqi, in order to redeem the negative impact caused by the successive military defeats in the past few years.

Wang Hanxin immediately threw down the thunderbolt cannon and led his cavalry troops to start the operation alone, and at the same time he also wrote two letters to explain the situation to Liu Yan and Xue Boren, asking them to immediately organize troops to pursue them.

It's a pity that Wang Hanxin's two letters did not have the effect he expected. Although Xue Boren and Liu Yan both felt that Wang Hanxin's judgment was reasonable after reading the letter, they did not take any action. Their reason is very simple, the pursuit may indeed cause huge losses to Abicheril, but it is very difficult for the army of the Silk Country, which is dominated by infantry, to catch up with the pace of the Tuqi cavalry, and once the troops are sent, Chang'an City will almost become an empty city, in case Abicheril kills a horse pistol, the consequences will be unpredictable, from the perspective of security, it is really worth the loss.

Because of this, Abicheril's retreat went much smoother. Although he was pursued by Xue Boren when he retreated from Fangzhou, Xue Boren did not pursue deeply. At the same time, An Jingbian took advantage of the situation to recover the city of Danzhou, which had been abandoned by Tuqi.

Abicheril led 20,000 cavalry along the north bank of Luoshui to the northwest, and he changed the route he had originally set with Temeng, preparing to cross the Yellow River south of Lingzhou, as it was the closest route to escape the control of the Silk Country. It is understandable that he would do this, because after all, if he left Huizhou, the Qiang people there were grateful to the Silk Country, and if they united against the Tuqi army, it would inevitably cause great trouble. But Abicheril ignored one thing, that is, Wang Hanxin's existence.

In fact, Wang Hanxin's scouts discovered the movements of Abicilir's main force very early, but he did not immediately cover it up. The main reason for this is that the total number of cavalry under Wang Han's new men is only 7,000, and in the process of long-distance running, there are nearly 1,000 stragglers, and it is impossible to win against nearly 20,000 Tuqi cavalry with these forces. Therefore, Wang Hanxin exerted his super command ability, divided his subordinates into twenty shares, and ran towards Lingzhou City in a fan-shaped arrangement. In this way, nearly half of the troops can take a shortcut to Lingzhou, so as to rush to the bank of the Yellow River one step earlier than the Turkic army, and get a chance to rest in Lingzhou City, and the remaining half of the troops can stick to the Turkic army as much as possible, neither being rid of the Turkic army, nor being discovered by the Turkic scouts. Because a cavalry of about 300 men would not be considered by the Turks as having any intentions, it was unlikely that the Turks would divide their forces to destroy a small army of 300 men. Being able to let more than 6,000 cavalry closely follow the Turkic army under the nose of the Turkic army, Wang Hanxin's use of troops has amazed many later generations of soldiers, but it has been ignored by the vast majority of people.

When Abichilir led his army to the Yellow River and began to cross the river, Wang Hanxin reorganized his troops and launched a surprise attack while half of the Turkic army had crossed the river.

In fact, when Wang Hanxin launched the attack, the Tuqi army still had more than 10,000 troops on the east bank of the Yellow River, and it had an absolute advantage in numbers. However, the problem is that these Turkic troops are now exhausted after dozens of days of running and fighting, while half of Wang Hanxin's subordinates have been given about a day of rest and recuperation, and the gap between the two is self-evident. What's more critical is that the only remaining military rations of the Tuqi army have not crossed the river, and in order to protect this part of the military rations, the formation of the Tuqi has become much thinner.

How could Wang Hanxin let go of such an opportunity, and immediately attacked the weak point of the Tuqi army with all his might. The Tuqi army was originally above Wang Hanxin's department in terms of bravery and combat ability, but unfortunately at this time, it was in a situation where there was no place to use the strength and strength, and Wang Hanxin soon broke through the formation.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Abichlil, who had already crossed the river, led three thousand elite horsemen to cross the river and kill again, which barely maintained the situation. The two sides fought fiercely until nightfall, and then withdrew their respective troops.

According to Wang Hanxin's intention, of course, he wanted to kill Abiciel, but in this day's battle, he lost nearly 2,000 subordinates, although the number of Turks killed exceeded 5,000, but it was really powerless to continue the battle, and he could only watch Abicheril cross the river with the remnants.

However, Wang Hanxin's pursuit this time was also very effective, not only killing and wounding a large number of Tukchi soldiers, but most importantly, he killed and burned most of the military rations of the Tukchi army by the way, so that Abichlir did not have enough food for him to cross the desert and return to the grassland.

In order to raise military rations, Abichilir had to invade the Huishu region again and plunder the local population. Although these coalition forces were no match for the Turks and suffered heavy losses in men and materials, Abicheril also lost nearly 6,000 of his men, and by the time he turned north again to cross the desert, his number had been reduced to less than 8,000.

At this time, he was once again harassed by Wang Hanxin - after receiving backup, Wang Hanxin pursued him again, although the raid did not produce any substantial results, but the Tukchi army became exhausted, so that the desert journey, which was quite familiar to the Tukhi people, became extremely difficult.

By the time the Turks dragged their tired bodies across the desert and stepped on the steppe land again, they were so tired that it was almost difficult to sit on their horses. (To be continued.) )
