Seeing the Tang army retreating again, the Turkic commander inevitably became suspicious. After all, the Tang army's behavior seemed to be deceitful and completely different from the past. He instinctively wanted to order a retreat.
However, when he saw the soldiers of the Tang Army abandoning their helmets and armor again, he couldn't help but laugh. If this was considered a fraud, he wouldn't mind doing it a few more times. This was simply giving him money.
You must know that the north is bitterly cold, and iron tools are very precious. It is not easy for ordinary Turks to own a knife of their own, let alone a scimitar.
Armor is something that only bosses or big bosses can own. It is impossible for ordinary cavalry to own these things. Unless you are lucky and capture the armor yourself, you must make great achievements if you want to get the rewarded armor.
After seeing the situation of the Tang army, the Turkic commander thought that the Tang army was frightened by his cavalry. He did not even dare to fight, but only dared to shoot cold arrows. This is simply a cowardly person. Such a person , if he is afraid, he will probably be laughed at by many people when he goes back.
Under the shouts of the Turkic commander, the Turkic cavalry chased them away with red eyes. For the Turkic commander, they felt that the Tang army was here to give money, and the cavalry below were even more happy.
A pair of armor can be exchanged for a dozen sheep. If you get a few more, your family will be rich and you won't have to go hungry this winter.
Such a good thing, of course, is to rush for the first place, for fear that you will be slow and pick up less things than others.
As they chased and fled, the two armies were getting further and further away from the original battlefield. Every time they ran three or four miles, Yuchi Jingde would order his crossbowmen to fire a volley at the pursuing Turks from behind. This made the Turkic army in the rear gnash their teeth. They wanted to pursue them immediately, kill all the Tang people like flies, and then rob the Tang army's things.
But they pursued so closely that they could not catch up with Tang Jun, and Tang Jun never faced them head-on again.
Of course, the Turks were not without gains. During the pursuit, each Turk picked up at least half a pair of armor, and many picked up two or three sets of armor, making all the Turks smile with joy, as happy as if they were celebrating a major festival.
These are not just armors, in their eyes they are money, cattle and sheep!
Yuchi Jingde, who kept running away, was depressed. He had been fighting for most of his life, and he had never fled like this before. In every battle, he did not take the lead and go to the front. Only this time, he was defeated three times in a row. If not With the persuasion of Li Jing's order, he had given up his job long ago.
Fortunately, there was still a little distance before we could enter the canyon, which made Yuchi Jingde feel a little relieved.
After stopping again and sending a wave of arrows to the Turks, Yuchi Jingde called on his men to withdraw towards the canyon.
Many soldiers did not know Li Jing's plan. When they saw their own general and his army entering the canyon, they all stopped him and said: "General, this canyon cannot be entered. The area here is narrow. Our soldiers cannot outrun the Turkic cavalry. If this is the case, If we are caught up, we will die without a burial place, so we should go around and return to the city!"
Yuchi Jingde was already angry, and now that his subordinates were disobeying his orders, he was even more angry.
He glanced around at all the generals and cursed: "Enter the canyon as soon as labor and management tell you to do so. Anyone who talks too much will be subject to military law!"
The generals were shocked, and they no longer dared to touch Yuchi Jingde's brows. This is a man who sticks to his word. If you really anger the person in front of you, you may be killed on the spot!
At the end of the canyon, when Yuchi Jingde entered the canyon, someone reported to Li Ji and others.
When they heard that Yuchi Jingde entered the canyon, Li Ji and others were shocked.
This first step has been completed. Now it depends on whether the Turks can pursue them or not. If they do not pursue them, all their arrangements will be in vain. But once they pursue them, they are confident that they will destroy all this group of Turks!
Of course, you still have to make the necessary preparations, otherwise you may be caught off guard!
"General Niu, Army, you lead a group of troops around to the entrance of the canyon. Once the Turks enter the valley, you will block the entrance and ambush above the entrance. If the Turks want to return, you will shoot them to death!" "Li Ji looked at Niu Jinda aside.
"The last general takes orders!" Niu Jinda said with cupped hands.
"Marquis General, Army, you enter the canyon first. When Yuchi Jingde comes out of the canyon, you immediately seal the opening and wait on the right side of the canyon. I will support you on the left. When the Turks come, the two of us will fight hard. Deal with them!" Li Ji looked at Hou Junji opposite.
"The last general takes orders!" Hou Junji said with cupped hands.
After making some arrangements, Li Ji looked towards the entrance of the canyon and secretly prayed that the Turks would come in quickly.
At the entrance of the canyon, when the Turks pursued here, they stopped one after another.
The Turks are not fools. This canyon is not easy to enter. If they are ambushed, they will be in a dilemma!
It's just that although the generals and leaders are awake, the cavalry under their command can't figure it out. They are about to win a big victory and get more spoils. Why do the adults stop moving forward?
Didn’t you see that there are many things at the entrance of the canyon? These are all cattle and sheep!
When the Turkic commander arrived, the pursuing generals and leaders expressed their doubts and asked the commander to make a decision.
Looking at the flags and armor scattered on the ground in front of him, the commander sneered: "Tang Jun has lost his courage. He ran here in a panic. You didn't chase after him quickly, but you stopped here. You are really stupid. You didn't give me the chase! I We want Tang Jun to know how powerful we are, and we will make sure there is no way for them to come back this time!"
After receiving the commander's order, the generals thought it made sense and immediately led their cavalry to pursue the canyon.
There was constant looting along the way, but the Tang army didn't kill many, and their own people almost started fighting among themselves over the loot. Fortunately, the generals didn't lose their minds, otherwise they would have become a mess without fighting!
When all the Turks entered the canyon, Niu Jinda, who had taken a detour, quickly ordered his men to block the entrance with huge rocks, rolling logs, ox carts and other objects.
They even poured kerosene on it and lit it when the Turks fled back to stop the escaping Turks.
At the other end of the canyon, when Yuchi Jingde passed through the gap left by him, Hou Junji hurriedly called on his men to block the exit. He had already received the report that the Turks had entered the canyon. The strategy had been successful. All that was left was to wait for the Turks to attack. Just arrive.
When everything was over, Hou Jun gathered on the mountain on the right side of the canyon, and Li Ji on the mountain on the left. Each of them suppressed the excitement in their hearts and looked at the other end of the canyon.
They did not expect that the Turks could be led into such a trap so easily, but all this was set up by Luo Zhang, who in their opinion had no battlefield experience, let alone the emotion in their hearts.
Just as they were sighing, the ground suddenly shook, which shocked the spirits of the Tang troops on both sides of the canyon.
The Turks are coming!
