It turned out that Xue Yantuo Khan's policy was correct, if they gathered all their troops to fight hard with the Tang army, their chances of victory would not even be forty percent, but if they delayed, their chances of victory began to slowly increase.

The Tang Dynasty army urgently needed a decisive battle on the grassland, but at this moment it could not find the location of Xue Yantuo's army, so the armies began to slack off, this was only a month, all kinds of violations of military discipline happened at any time, these people began to sneak out of the camp to harass the surrounding tribes, which was not allowed by King Wu before.

But the young men in the army are very energetic, and if you are going to fight all the time, they don't have time to do some messy things, but now they have been in the barracks, then these people have all kinds of ideas, and some of them are even fifty miles away from the barracks.

In desperation, King Wu could only order his army to venture to the depths of the grassland.

Xue Yantuo Khan was waiting for this opportunity, when the Tang army ventured to Mobei, they still found a suitable sniper brother, of course, Xue Yantuo Khan learned from the experience of the last time, and would never send a large army to fight against the Tang army, this is not something they can win, so he divided his army into small groups and harassed the Tang Dynasty army along the way.

To put it bluntly, it is the predecessor of guerrilla warfare, each cavalry team is about three or five hundred people, ambushed in the leeward of some hills in the grassland, and when the Tang Dynasty army came, these people specifically bit the tail of the Tang Dynasty army, and when the Tang Dynasty army began to counterattack, they immediately turned into dozens of teams and rushed towards the depths of the grassland.

If King Wu continued to send troops to pursue, then when these Tang Dynasty troops left the camp, that is, the countdown of their lives, and when they left the camp for fifty miles, Xue Yantuo's army was already waiting for them, and it was impossible to return at that time.

With the blessing of guerrilla warfare, the Tang Dynasty army lost more than 2,000 people in ten days, although the losses were not very many, but the Tang Dynasty army began to be demoralized, every time they went out to pursue, there were some brothers who could not come back, on the other hand, their results were not as good as each other, if this continued, our chances of victory would be slowly reduced.

Wu Wang Li Ke is also very helpless about this, some generals within the army have put forward different voices, they think that we should retreat south at this moment, reduce our logistics supply line, only in this way can we slowly restore morale, if we continue to go deeper into the grassland, there is no benefit to us.

In a rational state, King Wu will definitely be able to make a correct choice, but helplessly King Wu Li Ke thinks that this opportunity is rare, and he also wants to replicate Li Xiang's success, so King Wu Li Ke issued an order that he regrets for the rest of his life, that is, to lead his 20,000 cavalry and start plundering the entire grassland.

Under normal circumstances, such a strategy is no problem, but the Turkic tribes have been submissive to the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and although their khans have run away, you can't rob their tribes at the moment, right?

But in order to reduce the dependence on logistical supplies, Wu Wang Li Ge still issued this order, which made the Turkic tribes also see that the family that the Tang Dynasty said before was simply fake, and when you encountered difficulties, you only knew how to rob our tribes, so the Turkic tribes began to fight back, and there were even some tribes to contact Xue Yantuo.

According to King Wu's idea, as long as he moves fast enough, then the Turkic tribes will not be able to react, we took their supplies, and continued to march to the hinterland of Xue Yantuo, but we know too little about the information on the grassland, plus the Turkic tribes are nomads, when King Wu did something to one of their tribes, the other tribes immediately turned into pieces and hid on the grassland, so when King Wu robbed the third tribe, his subordinates could not find other tribes, On the contrary, those who were sent out were intercepted and killed.

If King Wu can retreat at this time, he can also ensure the safety of the Tang army, but helplessly, King Wu has been blinded by obsession at the moment, and without getting sufficient supplies, the Wu Dynasty set off with the Xue Yantuo royal court.

There are also many opponents within the army who believe that the current state of the army is not good, and it should be withdrawn to the vicinity of the Great Wall for repairs, even if it is not retreated, then it will not be able to continue to march, which will lead to a greater shortage of our supplies.

But Li Ke, the king of Wu, couldn't listen to any opinions at this time, he wanted to copy everything that General Li Jing did back then, when General Li Jing attacked, it was almost the same as this time, as long as we moved fast enough, then we could reap the final victory.

But he forgot one of the most important facts, that is, when General Li Jing attacked, the Tang army took a surprise attack, and the entire Turks were not on guard, and they were still negotiating with the Tang officials.

What's more, now the Turkic army is also on the opposite side of us, although Wu King Li Ke also sent a military master, hoping to rebuild the old friendship with the Turkic tribes, but the Turkic tribes themselves have a bad relationship with the Han people, and now there is a robbery of their tribes, and the tribes instantly stood in a hostile position, and Wu King Li Ke was suddenly arrogant, ready to repair the Turkic tribes for a while.

The Turkic tribes are naturally not the opponents of the elite of the Tang Dynasty, in the battle of half a month in a row, dozens of tribes were defeated under the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, gradually regained that feeling, and the army also found that feeling, but this is a vassal state that has been killed, not the real enemy Xue Yantuo......

Just when they were cutting down wantonly, Xue Yantuo's army still went around the rear of the Tang army, and when the Tang army fought with the Turkic tribes, it completely blocked the back road of the Tang army.

When Li Ke, the king of Wu, found out about this scene, he had not received supplies from the rear for half a month, and he sent people to check the route in the rear, but found that there were tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's troops on the retreating route.

Li Ke, the king of Wu, immediately ordered the two surrounding armies to move closer to him and prepare to gather forces for a decisive battle, but could Xue Yantuo Khan give him this opportunity?
