For a moment, Jieli Khan thought of withdrawing his troops.
He was unwilling to withdraw when he thought of his numerous layout in recent days and the several cities he occupied only after defeating Li daozong''s troops once in a lifetime.
The decisive battle has not yet begun, and a large number of Tang soldiers appear behind them. This is a bad sign, a sign that they have reversed their front-line advantage.
If we fight directly with Datang now, the outcome will be unpredictable. If we lose, we will face the situation of being attacked from both sides, and there will be no retreat at that time.
In this way, Jieli Khan also stood still in hesitation.
The military division quietly looked at the frowning Khan on the wolf skin seat and said.
"Khan, in my opinion, maybe Tang Bing didn''t think so much."
Jieli Khan was slightly surprised and turned to look at the military master with his beard in his hand.
"Why?"
There was a shrewd flash in the military division''s eyes, which was analyzed in a loud voice.
"If, as the commander said, ten thousand Datang cavalry face thirty thousand of our cavalry, the odds of victory are very small."
"But now, our troops are divided into six parts, and our strength is scattered. If there are many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty in the hinterland of the grassland, we can take this opportunity to break them one by one!"
"But the Tang cavalry did not form a siege, but took a surprise attack, not to mention a sneak attack at night. If there was no accident, the cavalry did not take more soldiers with general Yu Ye."
Jieli Khan was shocked because of this elite being killed for a time. At this time, after listening to the analysis of the military division, he suddenly felt that it was somewhat reasonable.
Secretly relieved, Jieli Khan mused.
"It makes sense. If there are several Tang cavalry, Yu Ye will not be difficult to find."
"But these cavalry are too cunning! It will be a disaster to stay behind."
Hearing the speech, the military master helped the beard with a smile and said.
"Khan might as well send a group of scouts to thoroughly find out these Tang soldiers and force him to gather, so as to find out their number and make a decision."
"Now general ashnasher is still in the team of encircling and suppressing the Tang army on the grassland. Maybe he can bring me some surprises."
Jieli Khan''s face was dignified and soothing, and a fierce flash flashed in his eyes.
"Herald! General ashnasher, turn over those damn Tang soldiers to me!"
"Let those scattered troops gather together and break these scattered Tang soldiers!"
"Promise!"
A big man came out from the side of the tent, took the command and turned out of the tent.
At present, Jieli Khan did not know the number of Tang cavalry behind him, and did not dare to act rashly. He sat in the army tent and waited for the good news on the grassland.
Not only Jieli Khan, but also Li Xiaogong, who was on the front line of Deyang, was in trouble.
In the twinkling of an eye, two days have passed.
The main Turkic army opposite showed no sign of launching an offensive, and the mobilization of 30000 troops to the North never appeared again.
Li Xiaogong hesitated whether he should take the initiative to attack.
The deputy general stood beside Li Xiaogong. This was the third time that Li Xiaogong stood on this high platform and watched.
"General, this army has disappeared for two days. Are we fighting or waiting?"
Li Xiaogong looked into the distance and said faintly.
"Now, this 30000 Turkic cavalry has not appeared in our vision. I don''t know what the old fox Jieli Khan is doing."
"It''s hard to predict the outcome of 150000 Tang troops against 150000 Turks."
The deputy general sighed in his heart when he saw this slightly late and hesitant marshal.
This veteran, who has made great contributions all his life, has long ceased to be as vigorous and decisive as he was when he was young. This is a bad sign.
The war is changeable and the opportunity is fleeting!
The deputy general cautioned carefully.
"General, now the war is imminent. As a last resort, Jieli Khan will definitely not mobilize 30000 troops."
"Now, these 30000 troops and horses have not appeared in Xiangcheng or the main battlefield. I guess something may have happened on the grassland, or there may be problems among the tribes within Jieli Khan."
"In any case, the reduction of troops is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our front line."
Li Xiaogong also thought about what the deputy general said.
In this way, Jieli Khan used the name of Khan to unite the originally scattered tribes on the grassland to jointly deal with the Tang Dynasty.
If there are internal contradictions, it is also possible for some tribes to withdraw temporarily.
It may be said that some coups have taken place in the king''s Court of Jinzhang in Yinshan, and it is also very possible to send troops back.
However, changes have taken place on the grassland. It is the influence of Tang Hao that has involved 30000 troops. Li Xiaogong does not believe it.
After all, a fledgling boy will definitely not set off a big wave on the grassland, let alone destroy 3000 light cavalry. It is impossible to need these 30000 troops.
Compared with Tang Hao''s containment of 30000 troops, Li Xiaogong believes that it is an internal problem of Turks.
If the 30000 Turks were transferred back to the grassland, it would be fine. If the 30000 Turks were just a bargaining chip for Jieli Khan to confuse himself to go to war, he would inevitably suffer a great loss if he took the initiative to launch an offensive.
After all, I am on the defensive side and occupy the strong advantage of the city. If I take the initiative, I have to risk winning the first World War.
Li Xiaogong stood with his hands down, looked at the Turkic camp thousands of miles away, pondered for a moment and said.
"Wait another day, if the Turkic army has not made any action, we will take the initiative!"
Looking at Li Xiaogong walking on thin ice, the deputy general knew that no more persuasion would help, and sighed silently.
In this way, on the border, two armies with more than 100000 troops, due to the hesitation of the commanders of both sides, bichi faced off awkwardly, and no one dared to rush.
