Chapter eight hundred and seventy fourth verbal confrontation
In order to catch up with Liu Jiande as quickly as possible, Tong Luonaya only brought five thousand cavalry this time.
In fact, on this kind of plain, five thousand cavalry are enough to deal with infantry several times larger than one's own, and they are still in a state of crushing.
It is true that the 10,000 soldiers led by Liu Jiande this time were not all infantry, and there were 2,000 cavalry among them. However, the number of cavalry was too small, and secondly, the normal Dali cavalry was no match for the Uighur cavalry.
Therefore, even though he faced the Dali army whose number was twice as many as his own, Tong Luonaya did not show any fear at all.
Tong Luonaya sneered and asked, "Master Liu, why are you here?"
But what surprised him was that Liu Jiande, who was equally clear about the current situation, had the same tit-for-tat attitude.
He cupped his hands in the distance and said: "Now that my prince, Prince Dali, is in a foreign country, as a native of Dali, I naturally do my duty and send troops to protect my prince."
When Tong Luonaya heard this, a vein jumped on his forehead.
The prince Liu Jiande spoke of was naturally the head coach of the Immortal Army, King Yu Zhao Yutai.
With the strength displayed by the 30,000 immortal troops, unless the prince actively seeks death, no one can threaten his safety.
Is it worthwhile for such a prince to send troops to protect him at the risk of the eastern border being invaded?
Tong Luonaya thought Liu Jiande was just talking nonsense, but he didn't know that the reason why he was able to lead his troops to leave the jurisdiction was because he said he would protect Prince Zhou of Dali.
But it doesn't matter, neither side cares about the other's purpose of sending troops.
Tong Luonaya was too lazy to talk nonsense with Liu Jiande, and glanced around the simple camp behind him, showing a look of contempt.
He mocked mercilessly: "With my Huihe clan and Chen Bing at the border, Lord Liu still left Jiande City. Could it be that Lord Liu thought that under the iron cavalry of my Huihe clan, your 10,000-strong army could really compete with that prince?"
Meet up?”
"Yes, how did you say it..."
He pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "I will protect your Prince Dali alive."
Liu Jiande was not afraid at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a sneer: "Brother Tongluo, when have you ever seen this king rush in?"
"Do you really think that with your mere five thousand cavalry, you can stop my ten thousand army?"
Hearing this, Tong Luonaya frowned.
In his memory, the commander-in-chief of the eastern border had indeed never taken a risk. In every battle, he fought steadily. Sometimes he would rather watch the enemy troops retreat from under his nose than to pursue them more.
step.
The reason why Tong Luonaya knew so well was because the cavalry he led retreated from under Liu Jiande's nose that time.
That time he was greedy for success and rushed into the trap set by Liu Jiande. If it hadn't been for the strength of the cavalry he led, he might not have been able to break out.
And when he broke out, there were not many people left around him.
At this time, if Liu Jiande sends troops to chase and kill him, there is a high probability that he will be there directly after fighting hard.
However, what surprised him was that after only chasing for a mile, and seeing that he was about to be overtaken, the commander of Liudu suddenly ordered to withdraw his troops.
It was not until a quarter of an hour later that his reinforcements arrived.
And maybe it wouldn't even take a quarter of an hour. As long as Liu Jiande chased him some distance, Tongluo Naye would be furious on the spot.
However, after noticing the movement of the Uighur reinforcements, he did not hesitate to give up the immediate success and retreated to continue the defense.
A person with such a steady fighting style would not take such risks even if he had to send troops to support him.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Tong Luonaya was indeed shocked after being praised by Liu Jiande.
But if he just retreats, he will no longer be the number one warrior of the Uighur clan.
Tong Luonaya quickly came to his senses. Although he did not see any stern expression on Liu Jiande's face, he still laughed.
"Master Liu, I have to say that for a moment, I was really frightened by you."
A glint flashed in Tongluonaya's eyes, and he said without concealing the cruelty on his lips: "However, let alone the fact that most of your 10,000 soldiers are infantry, even if they are all cavalry, the warriors of my Huihe clan will not be afraid."
"You asked me just now, and now I want to ask you too."
"Master Liu, do you think that the soldiers behind you on this plain can really stop the cavalry of my Huihe warriors?"
"Or maybe your confidence comes from the crude defense of your camp?"
Liu Jiande shook his head slightly and said: "The noble cavalry is indeed resisted by the soldiers under my command. As for the temporary defenses behind me..."
He laughed self-deprecatingly and frankly admitted that these were really of no use.
"These fortifications were just built in the process of waiting for Brother Luo. They are just a little preparation that is better than nothing. I will not rely on these fortifications to defeat me at the first touch."
"You are self-aware."
Tong Luonaya sneered, but seeing Liu Jiande's frank look, the ominous feeling that had disappeared slowly resurfaced.
However, Liu Jiande seemed not to notice anything and continued to speak: "When two armies are fighting, they must not be blindly confident. This general can still do it."
"but……"
He looked at Tongluanaye with some teasing, and said slowly: "But who said that I can only use these soldiers behind me?"
Tong Luonaya's eyes narrowed.
Could there be reinforcements still there?
This idea came to his mind, but instinctively he thought it was a bit absurd.
He led his troops to pursue him all the way. Except for the 10,000 soldiers led by Liu Jiande, he had no trace of other troops. If the reinforcements were behind him, not to mention that after he left, the Huihe army pressed forward for a certain distance. This
At that time, the reinforcements from Jiande City had no chance to leave the city.
But even if there were reinforcements, they still chose to leave the city at this time, and overcame the encirclement and interception of the Uighur army. Due to their speed, the day lilies were cold by the time they caught up.
The battle was long over by that time.
Therefore, it is impossible for new reinforcements to appear from Jiande City.
So if there are reinforcements, there is only one direction.
Tong Luonaya looked past Liu Jiande, past the simple camp of the Dali army, and looked in the direction of Fenghua Valley.
If there were reinforcements, they could only be the immortal army marching along the Goguryeo border.
Previously, after obtaining the marching route of the Immortal Army leaving Hu City, they determined that the Immortal Army most likely changed its marching route in order to receive reinforcements from Jiande City.
