Chapter Twenty-Nine: There Is No Escape
"Withdrawn?"
When Luo Shixin heard the news, he shook his head and looked at Su Dingfang and Xue Yong with round eyes.
Su Dingfang bowed his head and said: "Just now, there was a turmoil in the Turkic military camp, and I thought they were going to attack after two days of calm. specially informed Brother Yong and asked him to prepare for defense. Where did I think that they were in a mess and were actually retreating. I have a sense of a trap though......"
"Look at it!"
Luo Shixin stood up with a carp and strode in the direction of the Turkic military fortress.
The civil and military generals who heard the news all went to the same place.
Because the Turks suffered a big loss in the offensive and defensive battle of the Mokou Slope, Jieli immediately made a decision, no longer encircled, and no longer did superfluous things to cut off the water source, gathered the soldiers and horses on the north side of the Mokou Slope, and also left a distance of one mile, lest the Tang army could directly enter their military camp with the advantage of going uphill.
Luo Shixin looked at it from a distance, and it was a little unclear from a distance of one mile, but he could still see the dense soldiers and horses retreating to the north with a little chaos.
glanced at Su Dingfang and recognized his words, this was indeed full of trap breath feeling.
"This Turk is trying to tempt us to go down the mountain to pursue, right?" It was not only Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang who saw the abnormality, but Xue Wanjun who came from behind also noticed something abnormal.
"It doesn't make sense!" Liu Renliang already had the same feeling, and frowned: "What the Turks lack most now is time, they don't have extra time to waste, but it is really strange to retreat at this time." ”
"Unless they have to retreat!" Luo Shixin understood what Liu Renliang meant. He clasped his hands together and laughed: "It must be General Li Shiji or Yao Shigong who is here, and they have to retreat." ”
Xue Wanjun was stunned: "It won't be so fast, right?" ”
"There's nothing that won't!" Luo Shixin smiled without doubt and said: "We can do it, Yao Shigong and General Li Shiji are also the most popular generals in my Tang Dynasty." There's no reason why you can't. As a later generation, he knows the ability of Tang Erli better than anyone else, and has great trust in their military level.
"Then shall we fight or not?" Su Dingfang understood the reason, and his eyes revealed a fierce fighting spirit, and the reinforcements were coming, which meant that the end of the Turks was coming. At the same time, it also indicates that one thing is coming, and the war merit is coming. In this Northern Expedition, all the soldiers under Luo Shixin's command were extremely brilliant. Among them, Su Dingfang's table xiàn can be said to be the best in the whole army.
This is not that Luo Shixin is biased, but that Luo Shixin believes that Su Dingfang has the ability to take charge of himself, and many things are handed over to Su Dingfang. Far more reliable than handing it over to others. The odds are naturally better. This Su Dingfang is easy to use, and the arduous task will naturally fall on him. Su Dingfang also did not live up to his expectations, and his performance was extremely good.
However, Su Dingfang is talented and high-spirited, and he is not satisfied with the military honors he has received, and still wants to take this opportunity to make a good profit.
"Don't fight!" Luo Shixin said resolutely: "Even if they learn that the Tang army is pressing, there is still a distance. I guess they just want to take advantage of this opportunity to lure us down the mountain for the last battle of the trapped beasts. We've got the win. There is no need to take these risks. ”
Su Dingfang also said no more......
In a place where Luo Shixin and his party couldn't see, Jieli, Zhao Deyan, Luo Yi, and Kang Sumi looked at the moraine slope that had no movement.
Zhao Deyan's cheeks twitched.
Jieli said without saying a word: "Withdraw." They're not going to take that risk. ”
Zhao Deyan was speechless, so he could only follow behind Jieli with his head shut. Just as Jieli ordered a retreat, he Turkic thought that Luo Shixin was so bold that he would not miss any opportunity to attack. Wouldn't it be an opportunity for them to withdraw their troops? So they found Jieli to make a final struggle, if they could defeat Luo Shixin before Li Shiji arrived, they would all turn around.
But......
Luo Shixin was not fooled, and he was helpless.
Luo Yi already knew the news of the arrival of Li Jing and Li Shiji, and he never imagined that the invincible Turks would fall into this situation. He originally thought that even if the Turks were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, as long as they hid in the depths of Mobei and hid for half a year and a year, the economy of the Tang Dynasty would not be able to support it.
But he couldn't imagine that the Turkic people who controlled the strings with more than 200,000 people would let the Tang army be surrounded on three sides in a short period of time, and fell into a desperate situation of destruction.
Maybe it's time to find a way out.
Kang Sumi looked at the moraine slope, a trace of horror flashed in the depths of his eyes, and the scene that had appeared thousands of times appeared in his mind again, the red shadow, the spear as fast as lightning, and the wolf-like soldiers, appeared in front of him many times in broad daylight, and when he dreamed at night, he appeared in the dream many times, making him wake up from the dream.
The four of them returned to the Turkic Khan's court with different thoughts and heavy hearts.
The Turkic Khan's court covers an extremely wide area, and all kinds of tents are overwhelming.
As the Khan of the Turks, Jieli had the most people in his hands. Recently, hundreds of people have taken refuge in them in order to escape the scourge of war, and they have told the horror of Luo Shixin, which makes the entire Khan Court have a depressing feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
Jieli led the soldiers to repent of the Khan's court, and one by one the soldiers also followed home to reunite with their relatives. Although they didn't know that Datang had surrounded them, they had personally experienced the duel with Luo Shixin. Thinking that the 100,000 army could not deal with Luo Shixin's 30,000 soldiers and horses, the whole was even more chaotic
As soon as Jieli arrived at the Khan's court, he immediately convened a heavy military meeting, which was attended by only a few people: Zhao Deyan, Ashina Simo, Kang Sumi, and Princess Yicheng.
At this moment, the only people who really put Jieli completely at ease are these few people.
Jieli looked at it with some sadness, remembering that when he was the first khan, there were thousands of generals and clansmen, and then thinking about today, it was really a world of difference.
"You all know something, the three roads of the Tang Dynasty are approaching, and my Turks are in danger, if you have any good methods, you can talk about them together." Jieli's tone was low, and he obviously had the intention of retreating.
Princess Yicheng sighed: "It's not three roads, it's four roads, I just got the news not long ago, Xue Yantuo also has signs of moving troops." ”
"What?" Jieli's face was pale, and another huge blow fell from the sky, the grassland is vast and boundless, and it can be subdivided into three places, Mo Nan and Mo Bei.
Shuofang water and grass are the most abundant, the desert and grassland coexist in the south of the desert is the hometown of the grassland people, and the north of the desert is the north of the desert, where the environment and climate are harsh, and it is not easy for the grassland people to survive. During the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing drove their rivals to Mobei.
Jieli's original plan was to follow the example of the Xiongnu at that time and flee to Mobei, but now he found that they had no escape...... (To be continued......)
PS: The idea is a little messy, there is only one small watch today, and tomorrow there will be four more holidays to make up.
