Chapter 220: Tang Yong's Superb Resourcefulness!
"Withdraw to the west, and the army listens to the order! Fight your way out of the siege to the west! ”
In the fierce fighting, the 70,000 soldiers could no longer support the Turkic army that was intensively pressuring, and they all retreated westward with difficulty under the order to retreat westward, and parried with firecrackers!
However, the soldiers did not know the strategy of the two generals, and from what they saw in front of them, they could only judge that the army had fallen into the encirclement of the west and the east!
Even if it is to retreat to the west, there will be a large Turkic army in the west!
"Don't lose by killing one! Kill two and earn! The lieutenants ordered their subordinates to issue a military order to "fight their way out of the encirclement" with their banners!
On the one hand, under the stalemate of the enemy who has already fallen into chaos and you and me, fight westward! Enemies in the East! It's no longer in my eyes!
Just when the 70,000 soldiers thought that they had fallen into the encirclement of the West and the East, most of them didn't realize that-
It was my Great Zhou forbidden army that was attacking the Turkic small tribe in the west and east!
Not far from the west front, there was a small group of colleagues with firearms, and they didn't even have time to think about the reason for seeing them!
I don't have time to think about why Xiang Xi can really fight his way out of the encirclement! To see this handful of dozens of colleagues armed with firearms!
On the other side, the bowl ordered the army to continue to strangle westward!
However, the fierce fighting situation has formed a confrontation between the west and the east! Not the dragnet encirclement he had planned earlier!
When He Bo realized that the more the main force in the east pursued and strangled to the west, the more corpses piled up everywhere in the distance to the west, and most of his main force was still rushing westward one after another, which seemed a little strange here!
The subordinates who could pass on the military report did not send him back more detailed information, but only sent back to inform-
The remnants of the Central Plains are fleeing westward!
From the west, there was a dense and almost uninterrupted roar of fire, he didn't understand what it was, but he realized that something was not quite right, and stepped on the war horse himself!
With an iron spear in hand, go to the western front and find out!
He thought that this trip would only be able to explore the remnants of the original criminal from a distance!
Unexpectedly, after only half an hour of travel, he saw the remnants of the Central Plains, which were as solid as a rock and condensed due west, and they were still in a fierce battle against the enemy!
And I don't know when, the front army of the Turkic army, going forward to fight against it one after another, was under the loud noise halfway through! Inexplicably fell off the horse!
Even more provocative! The remnants of the Central Plains are on the side of the mountain of corpses piled up with his subordinates! Not only will it no longer retreat westward! It's like hunting a flock of sheep from afar! Hunt down the Turkic GIs who rush at them recklessly!
The moment he realized that the mountain of corpses was almost entirely his own subordinates! Tu Bo's face suddenly turned purple!
"Withdraw! Withdrawal! ”
Don't figure out why his subordinates fell! Continue to pounce so recklessly and send it to death! Sooner or later, the 400,000 military strength will be consumed by this "son army" that can't even get close to each other once it is condensed!
Yang Shuang was covered with large and small sword wounds, as well as iron spear stab wounds, and the more than 100 people who fought with him earlier were also seriously or lightly injured!
Fortunately, Tang Yong reacted in time! He wasn't ashamed of his men for being faster at escaping than they could kill! On the contrary, it is inevitable to borrow this point on the battlefield!
Let the army quickly break away from the encirclement in the front drawn up by the Turks in the west and east at a very fast speed of "escape"!
In the end, a situation of confrontation between the West and the East will be formed!
As long as the Turks cannot form an encirclement again! The Turkic army strangled from east to west was like a line of people slamming into the mouth of a firebolt!
And so it goes! Come one and die another!
"The Turks are retreating eastward!"
"The Turks are retreating eastward!"
The military report that came back in the form of word of mouth soon reached the ears of Yang Shuang and Tang Yong!
At this time, the two generals are facing a new round of difficult choices-
I don't know how much strength this Turkic army has, but it is obviously much more than 70,000 troops! The exact number cannot be judged for the time being!
Whether to pursue, or to retreat westward.
Taking advantage of victory and chasing is the usual practice of soldiers!
But right now, the 70,000 army has already exhausted its physical strength, and the war horses have lost an unknown number of horses, not to mention the casualties!
But the strategy was only known to the two generals, and the officers and men in the army thought that they were fleeing, which greatly hurt the morale of the army!
You can take advantage of the victory to pursue, I am afraid that it will only increase the number of casualties! Not killed by most of the Turks! Rather, they are exhausted by physical exhaustion, or they die of exhaustion! Or so tired that he fell off the horse and was trampled to death by a random horse!
Tang Yong and Yang Shuang, who are good at the art of war, each have their own thoughts, but they are considering the same problem!
Yang Shuang endured the pain and took out the book that his brother urgently chased and gave him, and the Turkic map was also sandwiched in it.
The map shows that the Yinma River is in the northeast of the vicinity, although the Yinma River is still in the dry period, but this huge Turkic army must live on the Zehe River!
"The army obeys! Blitz to the Drinking Horse River! ”
After Yang Shuang shouted out the military order, he also knew that his move had an element of gambling-
If the army can successfully pursue the Yuma River, and most of the Turks will be stationed there.
Then there will be two possible reactions of the Turkic army!
One is to defend them in the Drinking Horse River, after all, all the wealth of the nomadic barbarians is hoarded there!
The second is that our Central Plains army continues to exert its might! Fears the Turks! In the end, he chose to abandon his temporary home!
The result that Yang Shuang wants is naturally the latter!
Only the latter can boost the morale of those who have been shaken!
"No, don't be so reckless until you know the details of the enemy, it will only increase unnecessary casualties!"
Tang Yong urgently stopped the soldiers who were waving the flag, looked at the map and said to Yang Shuang:
"You see that this river called 'Beihai' should be three hundred miles away from its current location, but this is not a grassland river, and there should be water."
"I estimate that this Turkic army is at least five times the size of our army, and if it pursues it, it will be counterattacked."
"As long as our army does not retreat to the west and south, it will not be defeated!"
"Going north is also a kind of pursuit of victory!"
Tang Yong really has rich experience on the battlefield, and immediately proposed a third possibility in addition to the dilemma!
"Going north is also a kind of pursuit of victory! General Tang said well! ”
Yang Shuang nodded excitedly and worshipped!
……
The eastward retreat of the bowl was a deliberate temptation!
The Central Plains soldiers have a saying that they will chase after the victory, as long as the remnants of the Central Plains dare to chase them, they will inevitably fall into his encirclement for the second time!
Just like in the middle of the war, under the crush, the remnants of the Central Plains only had to retreat again and again!
But not long after retreating eastward, you can already see the uplifted village bags in the distance, and if you withdraw again, you will really withdraw home.
"Chief! The remnants of the Central Plains went north! At this time, the soldiers who were responsible for reconnoitering the enemy's situation behind most of the troops hurriedly came to report the movements of the "son army".
"North?"
This one directly stunned the bowl, but soon he reacted-
Provocation! Chi Guoguo's provocation!
When his Turkic army chose to retreat, his son's army did not pursue! But it's another kind of pursuit!
Doesn't this mean that he lost this battle?!
