The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

He decided to retreat before Ran Min could surround him. He only brought a quarter of his troops into Shuozhou this time, and now nearly half of them have been killed. The rest are all old, weak and sick. If they stay, they will only be a burden to him.

走!

Wan Zelin gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

Their retreat went smoothly because there was no enemy army to intercept them and no Tang army to block them. All the enemy troops were busy burning houses and collecting money and had no time to pay attention to them.

So it was not until the evening that they retreated to Yangling Town on the western front to rest.

Yangling Town is located on the west side of Shuozhou, hundreds of miles away from Shuozhou City.

There are 30,000 garrisons in Shuozhou City. In addition to the garrisons of the Shuozhou government office, there are another 60,000 garrisons led by Qianye Lang stationed here.

Yangling Town is the seat of Shuozhou and also an important town in Shuozhou.

One day, footsteps were heard in the grass outside Yangling Town.

Who? a voice shouted angrily.

A fast horse stopped and a young warrior jumped off it and said: General Chiba, I am here under the order of Your Majesty to assist you in your retreat. Please evacuate as soon as possible.

Retreat? Where to?

The young warrior hurriedly explained: My Majesty has ordered that General Qianye do not have to worry. Our army has set up a huge camp outside Shuozhou City. We only need a scout team of a thousand people to move freely between enemy-occupied areas.

Li Cheng's goal was to lure Qianye Lang outside Shuozhou City and take the opportunity to annihilate him.

At the same time, Qianye Lang can be used to lure out the person in charge in Shuozhou City, and then defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Your Majesty is so calculating!

Qianye Lang sneered: "I know your Majesty has set up an ambush in Shuozhou City, but do you think I am an idiot? If I lead the troops to retreat, what will your Majesty do?"

The young warrior whispered: General Qianye, my majesty has always been courteous to you. Now my majesty is also waiting for General Qianye's reply. I hope you will consider it carefully...

No need to waste words. Since your Majesty dares to go against your Majesty, don't blame me for betraying Shuozhou City!

Chiba Lang did not give the young warrior any chance to continue lobbying and ordered: Pass the order, everyone retreat!

Obey the order!

The messenger immediately rushed out of the camp.

Chiba Lang also immediately led his men to retreat to the northeast.

Although the troops under his command were small, they were well-trained, and each of them was equipped with a shield and spear, and they moved swiftly and agilely.

But this time the Tang army seemed to be prepared and had set up an ambush in advance.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, a fierce confrontation broke out.

Arrows rained down from both sides, wave after wave.

Neither side dared to take risks, fearing that the other side would cheat.

Li Chengdao's cavalry did not dare to rashly enter the enemy camp. After all, the advantage of cavalry lies in surprise attack.

The two sides are deadlocked.

The battle progressed slowly.

The sun sets in the west.

The battlefield was littered with corpses.

The blood dyed the yellow mud ground and dead grass red.

The casualties on both sides were extremely heavy, even greater than those in the previous battles of Tongguan and Pinggu.

The war horses neighed and the men and horses fell to the ground.

Neither side dared to catch up with the other easily.

Wan Zelin was in a heavy mood as he watched the sun set and the moon rise.

It is late autumn now, the night is windy and extremely cold. It will not be good to continue in this stalemate. If we cannot get rid of the Tang army's pursuit before dark, we will be surrounded and in great danger.

Qianye, retreat! Wanqichuan's voice suddenly rang in his ears. *..
