Chapter 667 Rout
The most important thing in war is morale. Although the equipment and the elite level of soldiers also account for part of the reason, the most important thing is morale.
Morale may seem intangible, but it is very important.
Xue Yantuo fought the Western Turks several times, but he didn't take advantage of it. It is normal for morale to be low.
There is not much difference between the two sides, one side's morale is high, and the other's morale is low. The result is self-evident.
Unless Yi Nan has some backup, he will have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
However, Lin Xuan felt that Yi Nan should have nothing to back him up, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Datang for help at such a high price.
"Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin listen to the order."
"The end is here."
"The two of you should straighten out the troops immediately. Once Xue Yantuo breaks the dam, he will immediately lead the troops out under the banner of fireworks." Lin Xuan said in a deep voice.
In order to increase the confidence of the rest of the tribe, Yi Nan personally led the army this time.
In this way, he was naturally worried about letting Lin Xuan's 1 people stay in the city.
If Lin Xuan took over his lair while he was away, then he would be finished.
Although he felt that the possibility was very small, he didn't dare to gamble.
Therefore, when setting off, Yi Nan invited Lin Xuan and his army to watch the battle together.
Lin Xuan naturally understood that the so-called watching the battle was actually because Yi Nan didn't believe him.
However, Lin Xuan did not refuse. If he insisted, Yinan would definitely keep more people behind, which would be detrimental to the war with the Western Turks.
Secondly, Lin Xuan also wanted to see the combat effectiveness of Western Turks and Xue Yantuo.
At this time, the [-] troops were resting on the other side of the hillside.
"Yes." Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin looked excited.
"Remember, your goal is to slow down the speed of the Western Turks' pursuit. Don't love to fight. If you violate the military law, you will engage in it." Lin Xuan urged.
"Yes." Cheng Chumo and the two replied.
"General, I wonder if I can use the Liannu?" A trace of expectation flashed across Yuchi Baolin's face.
He commanded a thousand Liannu soldiers. After such a long training, Yuchi Baolin really wanted to see the effect of Liannu on the battlefield.
Lin Xuan said angrily: "The Liannu is our hole card, can we use it easily? Without my permission, who dares to use the Liannu, don't blame me for being rude?"
Yuchi Baolin bowed resentfully, and left with Cheng Chumo.
"Rengui, Cheng Chumo and the others are going to delay the Western Turks' pursuit, do you think there is anything else that should be paid attention to?" Lin Xuan asked.
In the end, no matter in his past or present life, he had never commanded an army to fight a war, and he was very worried. After all, one of his mistakes would cause many soldiers to die in battle, so he couldn't help but be careless.
And Xue Rengui can leave a strong mark in history, and his leadership is definitely better than him, so Lin Xuan wants to see Xue Rengui's opinion.
"Back to the general, our army is only going to stop the enemy's pursuit speed. The Western Turks have been exhausted after such a long battle. As long as the two school lieutenants follow the general's order and leave at once, there will be no serious damage." Xue Rengui thought I want to say.
With Xue Rengui's words, Lin Xuan finally felt relieved.
He also thought of what Xue Rengui said, so he sent Cheng Chumo and the others.
It's just that he was somewhat uncertain, so he asked Xue Rengui's opinion.
While Lin Xuan and Xue Rengui were talking, Qin Huaidao, who had been watching the battlefield with a telescope, said, "General, Xue Yantuo has been defeated."
Lin Xuan and Xue Rengui quickly picked up the binoculars and looked at it.
I saw that the battlefield that was still stalemate just now had changed, and several tribes could no longer withstand the pressure and began to retreat.
Why were there examples in ancient times when hundreds of people robbed tens of thousands of people, or even large camps of 10,000+ people?
It was because of the sudden incident and the fact that it was night, and the soldiers didn't know how many people were coming, so they scattered and ran for their lives in a panic.
This will cause a herd mentality and form a bombing camp.
In fact, not many people were killed during the camp robbery in ancient times, and most of them were trampled to death in panic.
At this time, Xue Yantuo's side was like this. The retreat of those tribes caused the rest of the tribes to start to retreat, which resulted in a defeat.
Although Yi Nan had dispatched the rest of his troops, he was powerless to save the defeat.
"Damn it, if they hadn't retreated suddenly, how could this be happening." A murderous intent flashed in Yi Nan's eyes, and his face was ferocious.
He wished he could kill those tribal leaders directly.
"Great Khan, withdraw your troops. If you drag it on, the losses will be even greater when the Western Turkic troops come up." Solange said anxiously.
"You can't just withdraw like this, or you will be bitten by them, and the loss will be too great." Yi Nan said with a somewhat ugly face.
The best way at this time is to send an army to stop the Western Turkic pursuers and give the leaders time to reorganize the army, but all the troops he can send have been sent out, and now there are only a few thousand guards.
These guards are the most valiant warriors of the Xue Yantuo tribe. If they are sent out, they will definitely be able to stop the Western Turkic cavalry. But now it is so chaotic, if these people are sent out, who will protect him?
"Khan, the [-] cavalry of the Tang Dynasty are not far away, why don't you ask the general manager to send troops to stop the cavalry of the Western Turks?" Solange suggested.
Yi Nan's eyes lit up: "That's right, why did I forget about them, you hurry up and ask him to send troops, and you can promise him some benefits."
The reinforcements sent by Yi Nan temporarily delayed the Western Turks' offensive, but only temporarily.
And those people are all elites in his hands. If they are all killed in battle, he will not have the strength to restrain other tribes.
Solange didn't dare to delay, so he hurried away on horseback.
Lin Xuan was already planning to send troops. After all, the strength of the Western Turks had not been weakened much, and the army of the Tang Dynasty had not yet arrived, so Xue Yantuo still needed to exist.
Who knew that Solange came to look for him at this time, promised [-] war horses, and asked him to send troops.
Lin Xuan was happy in his heart, but his face remained calm, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Solange came to the leader to tell Da Khan to order his troops to withdraw, and I will order the soldiers of Datang to hold him back Chasing soldiers. But I only have [-] cavalry, and the delay will not last long, so Da Khan must hurry up."
"Thank you, Chief Manager." Solange came to thank him, and didn't dare to delay, and immediately went back to report.
Soon, Lin Xuan heard the sound of the retreat horn.
With the sound of the horn, those who escaped ran faster, and those who were still fighting hard, lost the idea of continuing to fight, and got rid of their opponents and ran back.
When Nishu heard the sound of the horn, a smile appeared on his pale face, and then he sent out the most elite cavalry.
As long as he can bite Xue Yantuo's rout and don't give Yi Nan a chance to regroup, Xue Yantuo will no longer have the strength to fight against the Western Turks.
Yi Nan was not stupid, so he divided his guards into 2000 people and went to intercept the pursuers. As long as he waited for a while, and waited for the Tang cavalry to come, he would be able to get rid of the Western Turks' pursuit.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan ordered Liu Da to release the signal.
Liu Da took out the fireworks, blew on the torch, and lit the fireworks. Not long after, the fireworks exploded in the sky.
During the day, the fireworks can't be seen clearly, but the sound is enough.
