Under the leadership of Xiao Kedi, this elite cavalry of 10,000 people hanged all the way to the city of Yongzhou after the defeat of the Guirong army.

I thought that this time I would be able to take advantage of the situation to enter Yongzhou in one go, so as to seize control of the city.

But as a result, the situation has changed, Yongzhou City, which should have been quickly opened, was closed with the city gate closed, and there was no intention of opening it at all, even if the defeated army under the city had been scolded, the defenders in the city were still unmoved.

This made the Vietnamese army a little helpless, at this time, it is true that killing can annihilate the defeated army in front of them, but Yongzhou City will not open the city.

So after a moment of hesitation, they simply stopped two or three miles away, and continued to observe the front while forming a team, waiting for the city gate to open.

But this time, the soldiers and horses defending the city disappointed them.

After a long time, the city gate was still unmoving, but it was the defeated army under the city, and the shouting and scolding actually stopped, obviously having accepted such a result.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it, you scolded everything, but the defenders in the city were unmoved, what else could they do, they couldn't attack Yongzhou City by themselves, right?

And Hu Daling had already woken up at this time and knew that he had fallen for the Han people's plan this time.

Along the way, the pursuers always had the opportunity to annihilate their own team, but they stayed all the way, just to drive themselves to Yongzhou and help them open the city gate.

It was really a vicious and insidious strategy, if it weren't for Han Jin's shrewdness, he would really make an unforgivable mistake now.

With a thought in his heart, his thoughts had also changed rapidly, and after looking up at Han Jin, who was unmoved, Hu Daling suddenly said in a loud voice: "In that case, let's go—Han Jin, you have to defend Yongzhou City, and within ten days, the Great Khan will definitely bring the army back!"

"Don't worry, Commander, I will defend to the end and not let the Great Khan down!" Han Jin also replied in a loud voice, and then quickly ordered the surrounding defenders: "All the crossbowmen are ready to cover the withdrawal of our men and horses and prevent the Vietnamese army over there from approaching."

Although they can't open the city to rescue, they can still do it with a certain amount of support and cover.

Hu Daling immediately understood the other party's plan, smiled bitterly, didn't stop any longer, and immediately said, "Turn around and continue to walk north!" We are the best at riding horses, and the Han cavalry will certainly not be our opponents."

After saying this, he kicked his horse and galloped, and continued to flee north along the road outside the city.

Although the other defeated troops were vague in their hearts and even had a strong sense of anger, they could only continue to flee north with their master generals until now.

Seeing this, the Vietnamese troops two or three miles away did not dare to stay any longer, and under the order of Xiao Kedi, the whole army marched and chased after them.

They can also see that the enemy has seen through their own plans, so they would rather let this defeated army be annihilated than risk opening the city.

If the plan fails, there is only one option left, to annihilate this defeated army as much as possible.

However, as they rushed to the vicinity of the city, the arrows of the defenders of the city were also densely shot like raindrops, and dozens of people were immediately hit by arrows and fell from their horses. Even Xiao Kedi was almost hit.

Fortunately, he flashed fast enough that he was only grazed in the shoulder, but he also knew how dangerous it would be to continue to pursue close to the city, so he decisively ordered to stay away a little and go around in a larger circle to continue the pursuit.

In this way, it really avoided the constant rain of arrows, but it also allowed the defeated army of Ghost Rong, who ran first, to buy more time and make the distance between the two sides even farther.

"Chase! Gotta catch up with them!" Xiao Kedi's eyes turned red and he roared viciously.

If you can't even destroy this defeated army, then you won't be able to go back and give an explanation to the emperor.

Under the determination of the main general, all the cavalry officers and soldiers were also completely out of the way, constantly urging the horses to speed up, biting the back of the enemy army, wanting to chase and kill.

But this time, the defeated army of Ghost Rong also made up their minds, anyway, if they want to survive, there is only one way to go, so they simply don't care about anything else, just beat the horse and run away.

And when it comes to riding and galloping, there is a considerable gap between the Vietnamese soldiers and the enemy, and as time goes by, they run out a few

Ten miles later, the distance between the two armies not only did not close, but became farther and farther.

Then, the situation that made Xiao Kedi even more worried also appeared, and the sky finally got dark.

As the sun sets, the heavens and the earth are plunged into darkness, and even the road becomes less clear, let alone the whereabouts of the enemy in front of you.

On the contrary, the Onijung, who have always been accustomed to marching and fighting and grazing in the wilderness, still do not slow down in the dark night, and there is a sense of pleasure like a fish in water. Listening to the movement, the distance between the two sides is also farther away.

"General, you can't chase anymore!" Zu Xiong, who was the deputy general, suddenly came to Xiao Kedi's side and solemnly opened his mouth to persuade him.

"No, I can't let them escape, otherwise ......" Xiao Kedi refused to accept it, and said very strongly.

"General, listen to me, if we continue to chase like this, it will not only be a question of whether we can catch up with the enemy army, but whether they will use their own advantages to attack us instead!"

Zu Xiong looked at the soldiers who were already very tired on the left and right, and said in a deep voice: "General, now that we collect our troops, we just haven't done our best, and we don't count our mistakes. But once they really wake up and turn back to fight back, and our army's fighting spirit has been greatly reduced, and finally defeated, the sin will be great.

"Please also ask the general to put the overall situation first and the safety of the soldiers first......

Xiao Kedi was stunned, this point was really ignored by him, looking left and right, he was really a little worried.

However, the breath in his heart, that little obsession, still made him unable to make up his mind: "Of course we are struggling, aren't they the same?"

"That's what the general said, but what if they have reinforcements arriving? Don't forget, general, this way north is now under the control of the Onijung, and we may encounter defenders from other places at any time.

"If we go back now, we can still achieve a big victory, but if we are really defeated by the enemy because of greed, we will be defeated, and the impact on the morale of the whole army will be great......

"It's already a mistake to not be able to take Yongzhou, and if you add this failure, it's a mistake on top of a mistake. Please think twice......

Under Zu Xiong's painstaking persuasion, Xiao Kedi finally stopped insisting.

Suddenly, he pulled the reins, stopped his horse from rushing forward, and cried out, "In this case, we will turn back with all our troops.

"Even if we let them run this time, one day, we will be able to defeat them again on the battlefield and take their lives again. Go back!"

As he turned his horse's head and went south again along the road, the other soldiers and horses also let out a sigh of relief, shouted and chased after him, and went back.

This well-planned tactic was not fully effective after all.
