Under the fierce attack of the firearm army, Xue yantuo's cavalry lost like a mountain and ran away frantically. The Turkic cavalry hid and chased for several miles, and won a complete victory.
"Win!"
Suddenly, the Turkic cavalry shouted wildly, and their depression vomited away. Many veterans cried, as if they were back to the Turks ten years ago.
Once upon a time, their Turks were the overlords on the grassland. However, in the war ten years ago, Turks suddenly fell from the altar and became stray dogs. Now Turks have finally proved themselves with this war.
"Call off the troops!"
Li Simo was overjoyed and knew not to be greedy for merit. Once he was chased by the Grand Army, 40000 Turkic cavalry were not an enemy at all.
"Wait! This is the time when the soldiers of the whole army are expanding their achievements. If the troops are forcibly withdrawn, Xue yantuo will lose a little, and he will not have a long memory." Chang sun Chong waved his big hand to stop. The grassland cavalry gathered and scattered like sand. Although the Tang army defeated Xue yantuo's cavalry, Xue yantuo did not lose much. Chang sun Chong was unwilling to give up the opportunity to beat down the water dog.
"But if the big army of magnanimous design comes, our army will not be in danger!" Li Simo frowned.
Chang sun Chong said proudly, "so what! With the firearm army, even Zhenzhu Khan came in person. In front of the firearm army, it's just a local chicken and tile dog."
Li Simo frowned. However, at the moment, Chang sun Chong is the patron of Turks. Although Li Simo knows that a delay will be dangerous, it's not good to offend Chang sun Chong and let Chang sun Chong fool around.
It was not until the firearm army and the Turkic cavalry pursued for more than ten miles that they came back one after another with rich results. Li Simo ordered to retreat.
"Lost!"
Dadushi saw Enge kneeling down in front of him covered with blood. He was embarrassed. He thought that even if Enge, who led Xue yantuo's most elite cavalry, could not take the Turks, he could at least hold the Turks. Unexpectedly, 5000 Xue yantuo's elite cavalry were defeated in a short time and suffered heavy losses.
"Back to Dadushi, the Turks not only got the armor of Datang, but also the help of Datang firearm army. We didn't check for a while and fell into the Turks' plan." Engel said with a ashamed face.
The Khitan Khan on one side was even more embarrassed. The Khitan cavalry were trapped in the plan and suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid they can't recover without ten years of rest.
"Tang Jun is coming!" Dadushi suddenly changed his face.
"Or the firearm army led by Mo Jiazi."
"A firearm army that broke the city!"
"Destroy the firearm army of five thousand Tibetan cavalry!"
The generals of other departments also exclaimed that since the western expedition, the firearm army has become famous in the first World War. It has made great achievements in both siege and field operations, and has become the first army in the world. Their grassland departments have also heard of it for a long time.
"The firearm army is not 1000, but has expanded to 3000, and its general is no longer the son of Mohism, but the son of changsun Wuji, changsun Chong." Khitan Khan whispered. Khitan is close to Datang and has frequent exchanges with Datang. He learned about the changes of the firearm army.
"Three thousand firearm troops." Huihe Khan frowned. One thousand firearm troops could surpass five thousand Tubo cavalry. If three thousand firearm troops, their strength would not have tripled. They were invincible on the battlefield. Being able to defeat Xue yantuo cavalry so quickly is the best example.
For a moment, the leaders of the grassland departments were in a state of mind. Xue yantuo had the chance to win the battle. Everyone stood in line with Xue yantuo. Now the Turks have the help of Datang and the most aggressive firearm army in the world. It is even more uncertain whether there are many Tang troops behind them. Turks, Tuyuhun and Gaochang were defeated by Datang one by one, Xue yantuo is probably not an opponent of Datang. The war is hanging.
As soon as he turned his eyes and saw the reaction of all the departments on the grassland, he suddenly felt timid. The war was defeated, and the other departments may be all right. However, Xue yantuo will be jointly liquidated by the Tang Dynasty and Turks, and if it is not good, he will end up exterminating the family.
"If it was the firearm army led by Mo Jiazi, my prince immediately turned around and left, but how could the firearm army led by a dandy be put in the eyes of my king? Although Engel suffered heavy losses, he exposed the weakness of the eldest son's reckless progress. The Tang cavalry won in the benefit of the armour, but the armour was extremely heavy, which was not conducive to long-distance travel. As long as our army moved forward at a high speed, it would certainly be possible Catch up with the firearm army. "Dadushi sneered. He is worthy of being the successor valued by Zhenzhu Khan. He has a high military quality. At a glance, the strongest point of the firearm army is his weakness.
A group of grassland tribal leaders nodded slightly. Although the advantage of Tang soldiers' armour is beneficial, it also has serious disadvantages. Grassland cavalry can indeed chase faster than Tang army. However, all grassland departments are unwilling to fight with Tang army. The firearm army has the best attack power in the world and may suffer heavy losses. Even if it can destroy the firearm army, it means that they have formed a dead enemy with Tang army, This is the outcome that the grassland departments are unwilling to accept.
Dadu set his teeth and said, "Xue yantuo's headquarters will pursue the firearm army this time. Once the firearm army is trapped, the Turkic cavalry will not give up. The nephew of the empress of the Tang Dynasty will come to help. You just need to attack the Turkic cavalry. Once you destroy the Turks, you can choose the grassland in the hometown of Monan."
The magnanimous and vicious vision not only accurately calculated the shortcomings of the firearm army, but also the importance of the firearm army and Chang sun Chong. If the firearm army and Chang sun Chong were damaged on the grassland, the Tang Dynasty would certainly anger the Turks, and the Turks would certainly spare no effort to rescue the firearm army. At that time, Xue yantuo would solve the Turks once and for all.
"Yes!" the grassland leaders nodded happily. In this way, they can not offend the Tang Dynasty, but also divide the Turkic grassland. Isn't that the best of both worlds.
Dadushi was relieved to see a group of grassland leaders. All parts of the grassland had the same interests as Xue yantuo in this war. Xue yantuosheng would be good for everyone to continue to carve up the Turkic homeland. If the Turks won and reoccupied the hometown of Monan, and all parts of the grassland continued to live a hard life, they naturally knew how to choose.
"Drive!"
With shouts and cheers, a large number of Xue yantuo cavalry took the lead, abandoned their luggage and rode straight to the firearm army.
…………………………
"Report, it's not good. A large number of Xue yantuo cavalry are coming, which is less than ten miles." a Turkic scout came in a hurry and said with a panic on his face.
"So soon, send orders and retreat at full speed!"
Li Simo, who was retreating, suddenly changed his face and ordered.
Xue yantuo is the sworn enemy of Turks. The reason why Turks were defeated was that Xue yantuo stabbed them in the back. However, Turks at the moment are far from Xue yantuo's opponent. For today's plan, we can only continue to retreat and join Li Ji's army.
Although Chang sun Chong was arrogant, he also knew that the 3000 firearm army could not resist the 200000 Xue yantuo cavalry. In addition, he had made great achievements, so he immediately ordered the firearm army to evacuate at full speed.
The distance of ten miles is not short in the chase battle, and it is almost difficult to level the distance of ten miles in the process of full speed progress of both sides. At the beginning, the firearm army and Turkic cavalry retreated calmly.
"The enemy has been less than five miles."
When the scouts informed the enemy again, almost everyone looked embarrassed. Xue yantuo was desperately trying to pursue the Turks at all costs.
"Don't cherish horsepower, retreat as fast as you can." Li Simo roared.
At present, both the firearm army and the Turkic cavalry are speeding up at this moment, evacuating to the South as fast as possible, and finally maintaining the distance of five miles.
Chang sun Chong looked at the Xue yantuo cavalry five miles away from the telescope and was relieved. He shuddered at the thought of being surrounded by 200000 troops.
However, before he was happy for too long, he found that the speed of the firearm army, which was originally in the forefront of retreat, slowed down and was soon overtaken by the Turkic cavalry.
Chang sun Chong's face sank. The firearm army's combat power was the first. It relied on gunpowder weapons. Its weight was not light. Coupled with its heavy armor, although the war horse selected by the firearm army was the best, it was not exposed at ordinary times. Now, compared with the Turkic cavalry, this disadvantage was immediately exposed.
"Drive!" the eldest sun Chong pulled his whip hard, but in vain. The Turkic cavalry was getting farther and farther away, and the Xue yantuo cavalry behind him was getting closer and closer, and he was about to catch up.
"Xue yantuo's target is the firearm army!"
Li Simo frowned. The firearm army was the face of the Tang Dynasty. If it was destroyed on the grassland, he would be responsible, not to mention the special figure Chang sun Chong.
"The firearm army can't afford to lose, so we need to help immediately and delay Xue yantuo's speed." Sima Khan waved his big hand and personally led thousands of cavalry to slow down the speed of the horses. He was soon overtaken by the firearm army and fell in the end. When Xue yantuo's cavalry was about to catch up, the thousands of Turkic cavalry accelerated. Their bows and arrows kept shooting back. For a moment, Xue yantuo's cavalry turned upside down and the momentum of pursuit was a meal.
"After the Turkic cavalry came to an end, it seems that the prince guessed right. The firearm army's horses were indeed out of strength." Dadu gave a cold hum and waved his hand. Xue yantuo's cavalry did not entangle with the Turkic cavalry, but directly divided into two to avoid the Turkic cavalry. It was like two huge wings, trying to catch the firearm army and Turkic cavalry.
"Withdraw!"
Seeing that the situation was bad, Li Simo immediately retreated with all his strength. At the same time, the arrows in the hands of the Turkic cavalry did not stop, trying to stop Xue yantuo's cavalry.
However, all this was futile. Xue yantuo's cavalry seemed to be less than casualties. They had to move forward at full speed at the risk of arrow rain, which was bound to surround the firearm army and the Turkic cavalry.
"Go!"
Seeing more and more Xue yantuo cavalry on both wings, Li Simo immediately knew that the situation was over, made a quick decision and decided to break through. If he dragged on, even the Turks would be buried here.
The Turkic cavalry accelerated their horsepower, quickly surpassed the firearm army, and broke through without turning back.
"Ashnasmo dares to abandon his allies and flee!" seeing the Turkic cavalry disappearing gradually, his eldest son was shocked and angry. If Li Simo fought with the firearm army, the firearm army would not have the strength of a war.
"General! Sima Khan's decision is correct. The firearm army can't run away from Xue yantuo's cavalry. Once surrounded by Xue yantuo, it's difficult for the Turkic cavalry to get away." although sun wukai was dissatisfied with ashnashma's leaving alone, he also told the truth.
"The firearm army is dragged down by the baggage. We just need to abandon the baggage and weapons, and we can break through." Chang sun Chong said in his heart.
Sun wukai smiled sadly and said, "it is a great humiliation for soldiers to lose their armor, not to mention the firearm army, which has the reputation of being the most powerful in the world. If we don't shoot an arrow, we won't be able to see anyone even back to the Tang Dynasty."
"You're looking for death. 3000 against 200000. This is a doomed game." Chang sun roared.
"So what? Our soldiers are risking life and death. We can die, but the honor of the Tang army can't be lost." sun wukai generously said. Other Tang soldiers nodded one after another, especially the veterans who had participated in the western expedition to Gaochang, who valued this honor more than life.
"You're all crazy. As long as you're here, the firearms prison can make a comeback, but it's just the loss of some armor and weapons." Chang sun Chong didn't understand.
"No, what we have lost is the honor of Datang, the belief of a soldier, and no soldier is willing to lose without fighting." sun wukai said firmly.
Chang sun Chong could not help but be silent. However, looking at the approaching Xue yantuo cavalry, his heart could not help pouring out the fear of life and death.
"It's our fate to die in battle, and the general is a civil servant. There's no need to do this. Please go to General Li Ji for help. We may have a glimmer of hope." sun wukai saw through Chang sun Chong's mind and gave Chang sun Chong a step down.
Chang sun Chong was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw and nodded: "yes, from now on, the firearm army will be handed over to commander sun wukai, and the general will go for help immediately."
In the disdainful eyes of the firearm soldiers, Chang sun Chong immediately rode a thousand mile horse under his crotch towards the direction of Li Simo's breakthrough. He knew that from now on, he had no prestige in the firearm army. However, he was desperate to survive.
"Tidy up gunpowder and weapons and prepare for battle. Even if the battle is dead, Xue yantuo people should know the power of the firearm army." sun wukai said solemnly.
"Yes, general!" a group of firearm supervisors said proudly.
Sun Wu said in a cheerful voice: "moreover, we are not hopeless in this war. Our armor weapons are the first in the world. Xue yantuo is not an opponent at all. Only Xue yantuo, who killed him, has a glimmer of vitality, and is restrained by Sima Khan. We can win by insisting on the arrival of General Li Ji's reinforcements. Moreover, we are not without help."
Sun Wu opened his eyes to the 3000 Turkic cavalry not far away who were also equipped with Tang armor. The firearm army could not run fast, while the Turkic cavalry led by he ganchengji was also equipped with Tang armor, which was no better than the firearm army,
At that moment, Sun Wu immediately went to the 3000 heavy armour Turkic cavalry and said in a loud voice in front of Hegan Chengji: "there is still a chance for you and me to join the army, and Turks still have a chance of life. Otherwise, once the firearm army is defeated, you and Turks will perish."
Hegan Chengji also had the idea of letting his soldiers break out of the siege, but the three thousand heavy armor was too important for Turks. Without the three thousand heavy armor, Turks' strength would drop greatly, which would double Xue yantuo's strength. Let alone once the firearm army was destroyed, the next round would come to Turks. Turks could not hate Datang and Xue yantuo at the same time.
"Willing to be sent by general sun!" Hegan Chengji bowed his head. He was willing to sacrifice his life for the Turks, and he believed that the 3000 heavy Armored Cavalry behind him were also willing to fight for the Turks.
Sun wukai smiled and said proudly, "slow down, save your horsepower and get ready to fight!"
Immediately, three thousand firearm troops and three thousand Turkic heavy Armored Cavalry joined together to form a defense formation, like an iron jungle.
At the same time, the open wings of Xue yantuo's cavalry suddenly closed and surrounded the firearm Corps.
