Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2126 Divide troops and retreat!

The atmosphere of the team going south was very relaxed, especially when they saw that the camp of the Qibi Army in the south of Yating was empty, everyone cheered, because the "cloud of death" that had been hanging over their heads for half a month finally dissipated. As a result, some people burst into tears with excitement, and some people couldn't help humming a song, which was so lively.

Tully rode in front of the crowd, but he didn't say anything harsh when he saw this scene, because he knew that his subordinates had been suppressed for too long.

"Report~!"

At this moment, a sergeant riding a fast horse rushed out from the right rear of the team, came to Tuli, turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "Qihan, the men and horses of Qibi are in Udeli. Near the mountain, the wolf rider of Ashina Sheerjian encountered two men and horses at war, and the outcome is hard to tell~!”

This sergeant was a scout sent by Tuli before. Although he learned that the garrison of the Qibi Department had retreated, Tuli did not relax his vigilance. As for the wounded soldiers, the marching speed will not be too fast. If they unfortunately bump into Jie Li's men and horses on their way south, they really can't escape!

So while evacuating south, Tully spread out a group of scouts to inquire about news and detect the enemy's situation!

"The Qibi Department met Ashina Sheer's wolf rider? And it's near Wudang Mountain~?"

Hearing this, Tuli's complexion suddenly changed. Their current location is only a dozen miles away from Mount Wudang. For a wolf rider with super mobility, this distance is not a big deal. If he knew their exact location, it would definitely be easy to catch up with them, so Tully was subconsciously worried when he heard the news.

"Don't worry Khan!"

Ni Shituo rolled his eyes at this moment, and then said to Tuli: "As far as I know, the wolves under Ashina Sheerzun can't ride more than 10,000 people, and the army of Qibi's army is about 80,000 people. The wolf cavalry's combat power is unparalleled in the world, but the strength of the Qibi department should not be underestimated. Ashina Sheer's 10,000 wolf cavalry wants to easily defeat the 80,000-strong army of the Qibi department, it is almost impossible, and even more impossible to catch up us!"

After listening to Ni Shituo's analysis, Tuli was a little relieved, but then he was a little worried: "But in this case, the Qiju Department will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the ten Tie Le Departments will unite against the Duo Bi. I'm afraid the plan will come to an end!"

Although the Qibi tribe used to be attached to a tribe under Jieli, Tuli still appreciates Qibi Heli, and even before he turned against Jieli, Tuli and Qibi Heli returned their personal friendship. Very good, because the two have similar personalities and political opinions, they can be regarded as half confidants. Now that the 80,000 warriors of the Qibi Department are fighting against the 10,000 elite wolf riders of the Ashina Sheer, it is very likely that the vitality of the Qibi Department will be greatly damaged.

If it weren't for him now, he might have been unable to protect himself, he might have sent troops to help the people in the Qibi Department, but... Tuli looked back at the tired soldiers behind him, and he couldn't help shaking his head. In this case, he obviously has no spare energy to manage the affairs of the Qibi Department!

"Little Khan is too worried!"

At this time, Tang Jian, who was beside Tuli, said, "Since the ten Tiele tribes have decided to unite against Jieli, now that the Qibi tribe has encountered Jieli's wolf rider, the rest of the Tiele tribes will not sit idly by. As long as the generals of the Qibi clan are not stupid, they will send someone to pass on the message to the other Tiele tribes that surrounded us before. At that time, the ten thousand wolf riders will surely become the first batch of sacrificial flags for the Tiele clan to officially resist Jieli. Revenant!

Our top priority right now is to go south as soon as possible and escape the control of the Jieli army, because even if the Tiele tribes can wipe out the ten thousand wolves of Ashina Sheerzhe, the tenth Jiele rebellion and those who let us go. The news will soon reach Jie Li's ears. We must take advantage of this time to escape as far as possible! "

"What Duke Ju has said makes sense!"

Tuli nodded when he heard the words, and then instructed Ni Shituo, "General Ni Shi, send the order, the whole army will speed up, and before it gets dark, you must get out of the grassland!"

Ni Shituo frowned slightly, he thought for a moment, and said: "Khan, if you use a normal marching speed, there is no problem in going out of the grassland before dark, but we have a large number of people, and there are many old and weak in the team. Wounded soldiers, this will inevitably affect the marching speed.

Therefore, the subordinate suggested that the troops should be divided into two groups. One group of soldiers and horses escorted Khan to leave the grassland at the fastest speed, and the other group of soldiers and horses escorted the old, weak and wounded soldiers to chase after them as best they could.

It is only a hundred miles away from Xiakou Mountain. Once we pass Xiakou Mountain, we will reach the boundary of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the soldiers and horses under Jie Li have the courage, they will not dare to continue to chase deeply. Meet there! "

After listening to this, Tuli moved a little, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "No! When Ben Khan was surrounded by heavy siege, all the soldiers never left, and fought with Ben Khan. Now there is hope of escaping the grassland, Ben How could Khan abandon his clan~?"

Tuli is a person who is very nostalgic and has a lot of feelings. Otherwise, he would not gather a group of followers who were loyal to him and never betray him, even if he was surrounded by 300,000 troops sent by Jie Li. In the desperate situation, not a single tribe or even a member of the tribe rebelled. This has a lot to do with the way Tuli usually treats people and does things.

Of course, there is also a large part of the reason. Most of the tribes who are loyal to Tuli are the old subordinates of the previous generation of Turkic Khan Shibi Khan. Tuli is the son of Shibi Khan. Bi Khan's legacy, that's why he gathered a group of loyal subordinates around him.

Although Ni Shituo's proposal made Tuli's heart move, he knew that if he really took people away like this, the remaining old and weak

The soldiers will definitely have ideas, and his subordinates will also criticize him slightly. He must refuse, at least openly.

Sure enough, as soon as Tuli finished speaking, the soldiers behind him, especially the seriously wounded soldiers lying on the scooters with "painted colors" on their bodies, their eyes instantly turned red, and they all said:

"Please Khan leave first, I will go to join Khan later!"

"Please Khan go first, I will wait for the Khan to break up!"

"Khan, you go first, leave us alone! We will definitely meet you~!"

The followers behind Tuli were all moved by Tuli's words. No matter whether Tuli's words came from sincerity or falsehood, it was because Tuli could say these words at such a critical time. Commendable!

"Khan, in fact, what General Ni Shi said is not unreasonable!"

At this moment, Tang Jian spoke, because he knew that if he didn't speak again, it might be difficult for Tuli to "step down", and he said with a serious face: "And traveling separately does not mean giving up the old, weak and wounded soldiers in the tribe. , With so many of us walking together, the goal is too big, and it can be divided into several teams, which can increase the chance of successfully escaping the grassland.

In addition, Khan led an elite team to escape from the grassland as quickly as possible. We can also ask the Datang frontier army for help, and then lead the frontier army to the periphery of the grassland to receive the remaining troops. In this way, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone? Now time is urgent, please make an early decision! "

In fact, it is not important to Tang Jian whether it is possible to bring all the Tuli troops out of the grasslands, because his purpose of sneaking into the grasslands has been achieved. Jie Li was gone, and Tuli was about to be rescued by him to the Tang Dynasty. As for whether the old, weak and wounded soldiers under Tuli could finally escape from the grassland, it was not so important anymore!

What is more important to him now is to bring Tuli back to the Tang Dynasty!

"Khan, what Duke Ju said is right. Dividing troops into multiple paths is more conducive to a successful breakout. Now the time is urgent, please make an early decision!"

Ni Shituo glanced at Tang Jian gratefully, and quickly agreed.

Speaking of which, since he saw Tang Jian, this was the first time he felt pleasing to see Tang Jian.

"Khan, go first, I'll catch up later!"

"My subordinates are willing to stay and escort the old, weak and wounded soldiers in the tribe. Khan can rest assured and take the first step!"

Several generals behind Tuli spoke at this time.

"Okay, that's the case, General Ni Shi ordered a team of light cavalry, and followed Ben Khan to Xiakou Mountain first, and then invited the Tang Border Army to come and receive our troops!"

Tuli had a "helpless" expression on his face, after pondering for a moment he had to nod his head in agreement, and then he said to several generals behind him: "You must escort the rest of the troops out of the grasslands safely. After Ben Khan saw the Tang frontier army, I'll accompany them to meet you and wait~!"

"Subordinates obey! Khan be careful all the way~!"

Those generals clasped their fists and took orders.

After a while, this huge team was quickly divided into two teams, one was light cavalry of ten thousand people, abandoned all the ruts, food and forage, separated from the large army, and rode the horses at the fastest speed at the beginning of the vast expanse. Run wildly towards the border of the grassland in the south.

As for the original large troop, the remaining people were divided into ten squads under the arrangement of several generals. These ten squads were divided into ten groups. Although they were all heading south, they did not go the same way. Along the way, the ten teams quickly spread out, gradually losing sight of each other.

In this way, even if the men behind Jie Li catch up with one of their teams, the remaining nine teams will have a good chance of surviving. This is risk sharing!

……………………………………

At the foot of Wudang Mountain.

Ashina Sheer's 10,000 wolf riders were fighting with the 80,000-strong army of the Qibi Department.

Of course, compared with the wolf cavalry, the Qi Bi department suffered more casualties. Just the first few rushings of the wolf cavalry caused thousands of casualties on the Qi Bi department. The casualties on Bibu's side have increased to more than 20,000, while on Ashina Sheer's side, there are at most only more than 2,000 casualties!

The ratio of battle damage is almost one to ten, and the terrifying combat power of the wolf rider is evident!

On the side of the Qibi Department, there was even a hint of defeat. Some soldiers had lost their fighting spirit when they encountered the wolf rider. They only wanted to flee for their lives, and did not want to take up arms to resist.

Seeing this scene, Ashina Sheer couldn't help but sneered at the corners of his mouth. Although there were many people and horses in his heart, they were just a group of rabble, which was really far from his wolf rider!

Qibinger was secretly anxious at this time, because he knew that once his men showed signs of defeat, the next battle loss ratio between the two sides would probably not be one to ten, but one to twenty, or even 1 to 20. The battle loss ratio of 1 to 30 is like a mountain of defeat.

"All the officers and soldiers obeyed the order, only allowed to advance, not to retreat, and go out with this general! Our reinforcements will come soon!"

Qi Bi Geer knew that he couldn't continue like this. He had to revive his morale. Otherwise, the 80,000 troops of Qi Bi's department would probably have to explain it here. Turning over and standing on the horse's back, he shouted at the surrounding Qibi soldiers.

Sure enough, when he heard that the reinforcements would be coming soon, the morale of the soldiers in the slumped Qibuge instantly boosted their morale, and when they saw the brave Qibage take the lead and cut down several wolf knights one after another. Afterwards, the soldiers drank

sounded, and then rode his horse toward the wolf rider again to meet him.

"Reinforcement~?"

When Ashina Sheer heard the words, he frowned. He thought that this place was still dozens of miles away from the headquarters of the Qibi Department. The Qibi Department did not say whether they knew the news here. Even if they did, they sent them out. It is impossible for the reinforcements to come so quickly. Is Qibinger saying this to boost morale on purpose, or is there really reinforcements?

Just when Ashina Sheer was in shock for a while, an army of tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared on the prairie on the east side of Wudang Mountain.

"Tuoshe, there is a large group of cavalry five miles to the east, coming towards us!"

A wolf riding a fast horse came to Ashina Sheerzhan and said hastily.

Ashina Sheer also noticed the movement in the east. Hearing this, he quickly turned his head to look, and saw that four or five miles to the east, there was a dark cavalry rushing towards this side. Er Zhu was shocked at first, and then became furious: "This is the army and horse of the Huihe Ministry stationed in the east of the Tuli remnant. Damn, now it seems that the Tenth Division of Tiele should have decided to plot a rebellion, and the news must be sent back to the royal court as soon as possible. Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

Almost in an instant, Ashina Sheer guessed the general situation and made a decision. In the current situation, the ten thousand wolf riders under his command are obviously not enough. If the fight goes on, once he is surrounded by Tiele's troops, I am afraid that all his men and horses will be explained here!

"Brothers, the wolf cavalry has retreated, our reinforcements are here, don't let them go, kill me! Avenge the dead brothers~!"

Seeing that Ashina Sheer had organized the wolf cavalry to retreat, and that a support army had come to the east, Qibinger decided to beat the underdog. The main reason was that he knew that in the future, the Qibi department would have to meet the wolf cavalry swordsmen under Jie Li's account, and it would not be a loss if he could take the opportunity to kill a few more wolf cavalry today.
