Soldiers are very fast.

Realizing that the situation on the front line might have undergone subtle changes, Lin Kaiyue quickly sent people to beat drums and gather troops, gathered a large army, and headed to Zhongshoucheng City in a mighty manner.

After leading the army to the cavalry, they steadily and orderly implemented Yang Yue's plan, deliberately delaying time, but consuming as much vitality as possible from the Turks.

Before severely damaging the Iron Cavalry of the Turkic Royal Court, Yiran will never be allowed to lead his army to evacuate.

After all, compared to the endless grasslands, the Tang army was more familiar with the terrain near Zhongshoujiang City.

Once Yiran leads the army to abandon the city and flee, in the future, the battlefield will be transferred to the grassland, and the situation faced by the Tang army will become more and more complicated.

It consumed the Tang Dynasty's money, food, national strength, and increased the casualties of the front-line soldiers.

During the march, the spy who had left previously rode his horse and turned back.

Lin Kaiyue was very concerned about the movements of the Turkic cavalry and asked anxiously: "How is it? What did you find?"

The spy sat on the back of a horse, bowed and panted, reporting: "Reported to the general, the villain sent a spy to investigate and found that the spy sent by our army last night was almost killed.

In addition, the number of Turkic defenders in Zhongshoujiang City was indeed sharply reduced. The villain ventured to the north of the city and found a large area of ​​slump and horseshoe prints that extended to the depths of the grassland.

Although the whereabouts of the Turkic cavalry have not been investigated yet, the various signs can prove that the main Turkic force has abandoned the city and evacuated."

The main force of the Turks has evacuated

These cunning old foxes,

Upon learning about the situation on the front line, Lin Kaiyue felt dissatisfied, and Angela Chang and Guo Xiaoqi showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Hundreds of thousands of defenders were stationed in the city of Zhongshou. The other party killed the Tang army spies in advance and suddenly withdrew silently while the night was dark.

It is enough to prove that this is an organized and premeditated retreat.

Otherwise, the Tang army spies would not be killed, and it would be difficult for the Turkic army to easily evacuate from under their noses.

Even though he was angry, Lin Kaiyue, Angela Chang, and Guo Xiaoqi couldn't figure it out.

Since most of the Turkic cavalry abandoned the city and evacuated, why do they still have to leave the defenders in Zhongshoujiang City? Could it be that they think that the defenders in Zhongshoujiang City can block the journey of the Tang army's cavalry?

That's too naive.

"General Lin, General Zhang, the main force of the Turks evacuated. Guo personally led the cavalry to attack the city. Today, he strived to recover the city of surrender. The two generals personally led the army to pursue the north, and tried to find the traces of the main force of the Turks as soon as possible."

Guo Xiaoqi said with a cold expression.

The three of them led 150,000 elite soldiers and generals, wandering outside the city of Zhongshoujiang. Their purpose was to restrain the main forces of the Turks and gain time for other armies.

In order to completely eliminate the Turks in the city of Zhongshoujiang, the emperor planned with them for a long time. How could the enemy easily escape before the plan was fully implemented?

Lin Kaiyue and Angela Chang looked at each other, each with their own ideas.

Lin Kaiyue was worried that more than 100,000 elite cavalry could not compete with the Turkic main force, but supported chasing and killing the Turkic main force.

At least, the other party could not easily retreat into the grassland, and said loudly: "This move is very good, the soldier is chasing him in two groups."

Zhang Shaoming was very serious and did not express his opinion on this issue. He asked the spy next to him: "Who leads the army to be surrendered to the city?"

If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!

At this moment, he always felt that things were not simple.

Yiran and Timur, regardless of the threat of the Sassanians on the Western Front, took great effort to lead the elite troops south.

During this period, I didn’t have time to achieve any military achievements in southern Xinjiang, so why did I suddenly lead my troops out of the Zhongshoucheng?

Doing this is clearly a waste of time and consuming the fighting spirit of the Turkic cavalry.

He couldn't guess the core reason, but he firmly believed that behind the withdrawal of the other party must have his own purpose.

"Report to General, Timur leads his army to defend the city!" the spy replied.

Timur?

Angela Chang, Lin Kaiyue, and Guo Xiaoqi looked different and muttered to each other.

Timur was a famous general in the Turks and one of the direct generals of Argus.

He insisted on defending the interests of the Turks, and was a general who was indomitable and would rather die than surrender.

Is it unclear that if I stayed to defend the city in person, can't I stop the Tang army's pace with a few elite soldiers?

Today, he still led the army to defend himself, either because he was mentally broken or because he had some ulterior motives.

It is obvious that Timur belongs to the latter.

There is an ulterior secret between him and Yiran.

Lin Kaiyue and Guo Xiaoqi looked much more serious and dared not take the situation rashly.

In their eyes, Timur was a defeated general, but in several battles, they did not completely destroy Timur's troops and captured the opponent on the battlefield.

I admire Timur from the bottom of my heart and attach more importance to the other party in tactical terms.

At this time, Zhang Shaoming spoke out: "General Lin and General Guo, this matter is strange. We should not advance rashly. We suggest that we continue to send troops to attack the city and consume the number of defenders in the city. In addition, we should pass the news from the front line to the emperor as soon as possible to break the city and pursue it, or change the evacuation, and let the emperor decide in person!"

Be careful to sail the ship for thousands of years!

Especially on the battlefield, Angela Chang dared not underestimate the enemy's carelessness, otherwise every wrong decision would cost the soldiers of the three armies the price of their lives.

As a general, he must guarantee the life of every soldier.

"General Zhang, soldiers are very fast, and the opportunity passes in the blink of an eye." Guo Xiaoqi thought for a long time, and based on the current situation, he still insisted on breaking the city and chasing the main force of the Turks.

He was afraid that too much delay would make Yiran lead his army deep into the grassland and it would be much more difficult to pursue the other side.

What's more, the emperor ordered them to be responsible for the frontline war, and would not accept military orders from abroad, and everyone had the right to make their own decisions.

"General Guo, Timur was once one of the four powerful generals under Argus's tent, and it is not easy to deal with. General Zhang said it is true. The more confused the situation is, the more we should be cautious." Lin Kaiyue said cautiously.

He once led his army to garrison the frontier for a long time, fighting against the Turks in the north, and knew Timur's methods. Even though he led his army to defeat Timur many times in the past, the other side was definitely not a military idiot.

What's more, in Yiran's army, there are those who are good at fighting like King Zuo Guli, and they must not underestimate the other party.

Not long ago, he and Zhang Shaoming led their troops to move in the southern part of the grassland, roughly understanding the terrain of the southern part of the grassland, but they were unaware of the environment deep in the grassland.

Once you take the risk of advancing, you will easily be ambushed by the Turks.

At present, Yiran and others led their troops to withdraw from Zhongshoucheng City. The emperor's plan failed. They need to redeploy as soon as possible and make targeted deployments.

"Hi!"

Guo Xiaoqi sighed, feeling a little depressed.

The duck that reached the mouth flew away. They fought so badly in this battle!

He said unhappily: "Since that is the case, General Zhang will send people south to Fengzhou City as soon as possible to report the battle situation on the front line to the emperor. Guo and General Lin lead troops to attack the city and strive to consume as much of the other party's vitality as possible."

"This is the best!" Angela Chang nodded.
Chapter completed!
