In the early morning of October 27, Ashina, who was closely watching the battlefield, had already made some difficult predictions about the intention of the Middle-earth army to continue attacking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the first half of the night, the opponent's horse army was still galloping on the battlefield, but near midnight, the figure of the opponent's horse army on the battlefield gradually thinned, leaving only the Middle-earth infantry army was still sleepless to carry out a containment attack, although the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and it could not form a substantial threat, but because of the abnormality, no one in the Turkic tribes dared to slack off, lest an inadvertent attack by the opponent, the control strings of each department had to widen their eyes and be highly vigilant, so they were exhausted and supported themselves.

What do the people of Middle-earth want to do? What is the purpose of the white wolf? Why did the infantry army of Middle-earth attack overnight, keep on the offensive, and not give the Turks time to rest, while the Middle-earth horse army wandered in the darkness like ghosts? Ashina thought of a possibility, standing in front of the map, his eyes swept over the Taoshui defense line on the map from time to time, uneasy.

Shi Alimen and his subordinates made various analyses and deductions on the development of the current battle situation, and finally looked at the Taoshui defense line more than two hundred miles away. The combined forces of Middle-earth and Xi can't eat the Turkic army, even if there are reinforcements in the Great Wall, it is also an infantry army, and the Turks can still break through with the advantage of the horse army. Since you can't eat it, you can only defeat it, and strive to defeat the Turkic army at the lowest cost, instead of losing both, but now the Turks are not retreating, and they are fighting to the death, and the two sides are going to fight to the death, what should the white wolf do? Only by cutting off the retreat of the Turkic army and forcing the Turkic army to retreat, the Taoshui defense line, which was more than 200 miles away, became the target of attack. The Taoshui defense line fell, the Turkic army lost contact with the tooth banner headquarters on the lightning plain, Ashina was deeply trapped in the ghost side, there was a lack of food and grass inside, and there were no reinforcements outside, and the army fought alone, with almost no chance of winning, so he had to evacuate.

At this moment, an urgent report came from the Taoshui defense line, in the early morning of October 25, a Middle-earth army suddenly appeared on the west bank of Taoshui, and the defenders on the west bank were caught off guard and collapsed, and the defenders on the east bank were also unable to rescue.

Whatever you are afraid of will come, and what is not predictable will become a reality. Ashina was surprised, but also secretly relieved. Well, this battle is over, in the most ideal way for you. Although there is a certain loss in the fight, but within the scope of bearing, the strength has not been weakened, and more importantly, the overall defection of the Xi people has led to the worst changes in the situation in Anzhou in a short period of time, and this change is unpredictable, he is not an immortal, he can't see the future, who would have thought that Ah Huizheng and the Xi alliance would defect as a whole when the strength still exists? It was precisely because of the inability to predict the drastic changes in the situation in Anzhou that the Yaqi made a wrong decision, and the dispatch of troops to Anzhou not only failed to achieve the expected goal, but fell into the trap of the opponent, and had to withdraw decisively. And this result makes him have an explanation for the upper and lower, and no one can catch his own handle, even if Shibi Khan and the Tooth Tent Center do it themselves, at most this is the result, unless he is an immortal and can predict that Ah Hui Zheng will lead the Xi people to surrender without a fight, otherwise they will fall into the trap of the Middle-earthers.

The atmosphere inside the tent was extremely tense. At this point, there is no possibility of reversal, and the only way to evacuate is to evacuate quickly, and if there is a slight delay, the morale of the army will be confused, and the losses will be uncontrollable.

Ashina and Shi Alimen looked at each other speechlessly, their eyes worried. Now that we know the reason for the overnight attack of the Middle-earth army, the white wolf must have received the news of the capture of the Taoshui defense line in advance, and concluded that the Turkic army was going to evacuate, so he continued to attack and did a tired strategy, so that when the Turkic army retreated, the people were sleepy and tired, and the morale was low, and the combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, but the Middle-earth horse army had already rested well, had abundant physical strength, and could chase and kill on all sides, besiege on all sides, and do everything possible to kill and injure the Turkic control strings and expand the results of the battle.

"Withdraw!" Ashina looked at the nervous-looking subordinates, and said without hesitation, "Discard everything that should be discarded, livestock, baggage, all discard, don't slow down the evacuation." All units were ordered to evacuate as quickly as possible, and not to become entangled with the enemy, especially in the flat pine forests, which were encircled in such weather, and the losses were incalculable. In addition, I told the subordinates that although the losses today are large, next year, with the support of the tooth tent, as long as we capture Anzhou, all the losses can be made up. ”

Ashina smacked his finger at Shi Alimen, "Immediately arrange specific retreat deployments, and we must evacuate the battlefield before dawn." ”

Shi Alimen bowed down to receive the order, all the subordinates performed their duties, in an orderly manner, one by one orders were quickly conveyed, and a group of heralds galloped away.

In the morning, in the camp of the Grand Alliance, Li Fengyun, who had not slept all night, finally received the good news that he had been waiting for a long time, and the Turks began to retreat.

"According to the order of Ming Gong, Guo Ming's Tiger Army and Feng Hong's Anzhou Army have withdrawn from the battlefield and made way of the road." Yuan An was very excited, standing in front of the map and said loudly, "Hu Yanjian's Thunder First Army, Hu Luba's Thunder Third Army, Hulu Wang's Division, Mohefu Division, Mukun Division, and Murude Division's control strings are ready to be launched at any time along the enemy's flanks. ”

Li Fengyun nodded, smiled and waved his hand, "Summons Hu Yanjian and Hu Luba, lead the army to act in advance, detour to the enemy's two wings, wave the flag and shout all the way, and make a situation of outflanking, so as to shake the enemy's heart, hit the enemy's morale, and force the enemy to speed up the retreat. ”

"Our clan has always been bullied by the Turks, and the enmity between the two sides is as deep as the sea, and now my clan has finally seized the opportunity to take revenge." Last night, he was ordered to lead the army to the Donghu Army, and he was very excited, "If the heavens favor and give our warriors divine power, chase after the Turks and kill him, and defeat him without an army, maybe you can take advantage of the flat pine forest to cut off tens of thousands of heads and completely defeat Ashina." ”

Li Fengyun and Yuan An looked at each other and smiled. The idea of insulting Wang Yun is very good, Li Fengyun also wants to kill him all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river, but in fact it is impossible, the strength of more than 30,000 Turkic control strings is very strong, if Ashina has to fight a defeat, even if the big alliance drives out the Turks as he wishes, the price paid is unimaginable. Fortunately, Li Fengyun understood the high-level power struggle of the tooth tent, knew Ashina's political position, and guessed that Ashina did not dare to turn his face with Middle-earth, and was worried that the political opponent of the tooth tent would take this opportunity to fall into the ground, so he was cautious and looked ahead, which gave Li Fengyun the opportunity to defeat the Turkic army. The battles in the past few days have fully proved this point, compared with the two sides, the big alliance has more losses, which is also the reason why Li Fengyun insists on a quick victory, the stalemate has been fought for a long time, and it is definitely the big alliance that suffers.

However, the words of Wang Yun reminded Li Fengyun and made him vigilant, "Order the governors of all departments to sternly warn them that the Turks are taking the initiative to retreat, not fleeing in a hurry, so they must be highly vigilant in the process of chasing and killing, and always guard against the enemy's counterattack. ”

Then Li Fengyun turned his eyes to Xu Shisan, the head of the Fengyun Army, "The Fengyun Army is recuperating and ready to go today." Order your troops to chase and kill, and work closely with all the Ma army units to kill and wound the enemy as much as possible. ”

Xu 13 bowed and promised.

Standing beside Li Fengyun, Li Mengwei, a member of the military, was eager to try, "Ming Gong, the opportunity is rare, I want to kill the enemy in front of the Fengyun array." ”

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "As you wish." Then he pointed his finger at Wang Yun, "If you want to kill hard, it's better to gallop with Mo Fu." ”

Li Meng was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

October 27, Anzhou, Panlong Fort.

Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao suddenly received an invitation from Gubeikou, and Zhao Shizhu, Guo Xuan, and Murong Zhengze jointly invited the two to secretly rush to Gubeikou to discuss important matters.

The two of them felt quite strange, they didn't know what was important, so they had to go to Gubeikou to negotiate. This violates the agreement between the two parties, has a certain personal risk for Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao, and is really unwise for Gubeikou, and it is easy to be true.

The two were suspicious, and hurried to the border city to meet Guo Xuan, who was greeted at the customs.

After a little greeting, before Li Zixiong could ask questions, Guo Xuan asked impatiently, "How is the war on the ghost side?" ”

"The fight was fierce, the two sides were in a stalemate, and it was difficult to decide the winner in the short term." Li Zixiong replied, "However, the initiative on the battlefield is in our hands, and it is difficult for the Turks to fight long distances, as long as there is a steady stream of support from within the Great Wall, this battle will be won." ”

"If the Turks hold out longer, will it affect your northern expedition to weak Luoshui?" Guo Xuan asked.

"Why did the Turks hold out longer?" Li Zixiong asked rhetorically, "Since we can't take the ghost side and can't defeat us, all the expected goals have failed, why do the Turks continue to fight?" ”

Yang Gongdao changed the topic in time, "Guo Yuanjun, what is the important thing happening in the Great Wall?" Has the decision of the palace changed? Or has the situation in Youyan changed? ”

Li Zixiong also looked grim and said bluntly, "A certain person entered the customs and violated the agreement, why is this so?" Is it deliberately set up, or is there something else? ”

"Ming Gong is too worried, too worried." Guo Xuan shook his hand, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Someone from the palace is here." ”

Someone from the palace? Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao looked at each other, the Holy Lord sent an envoy? Why? The two of them coincidentally thought of the conditions proposed by the palace, the Flying Fox rebels must withdraw into Anzhou before the end of the year, and this is not acceptable to Li Fengyun and the big alliance, the two sides have no way to negotiate, in this case, the Holy Lord raises the level of negotiation and exerts more pressure, which will only make the situation more and more sinister.

Li Zixiong politely refused, "Li Fengyun has not replied, and there will be no result from continuing negotiations, unless you take the initiative to compromise." ”

Guo Xuan smiled, "Do you want Huang Taigong to move out of the customs?" ”

Huangtai Gong Cui Hongsheng? Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao were surprised, the envoy of the palace turned out to be Cui Hongsheng, this level is too high, right? Could it be that the Holy Lord intends to compromise and make political concessions to win a great reversal of the situation in Anju and the entire Northeast region?
