Seven hundred and seventieth chapters each pregnant with ghosts
Shabalo was not really stupid. How could he not know that all the losses before retreating at this time were in vain?
However, they lost nearly ten thousand people before they could attack the camp. Who knows if Datang had any other means?
The soldiers who attacked the southern camp were all his, and what was lost was also his strength.
If the loss of his strength is too great, what can they do even if Cheng Yaojin is eliminated?
Cheng Chumo asked strangely: "What do these Turks mean? How come they reached the edge of the camp and then chose to retreat? Did they discover something?"
Lin Xuan pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "I can't figure it out for the moment, but they probably haven't discovered our backhand."
Lin Xuan's original plan was to use various means to kill and injure the Turkic troops as much as possible and at the same time anger them.
Those crossbows were ambushed by Lin Xuan in the camp, preparing to wait for the Western Turks' offensive to become fierce, pretending to be invincible, and let the Western Turks enter the camp.
That's when the serial crossbow showed its power.
Although he didn't understand why the Western Turks retreated, Lin Xuan chose to remain unchanged in response to all changes.
An hour later, the Western Turks made another move.
"I seem to know why the Western Turks retreated." Lin Xuan said after seeing the movements of the Western Turks.
Although Cheng Chumo also saw Xi Tujue's movements, he did not react. Hearing Lin Xuan's words, he looked at Lin Xuan with some confusion.
Lin Xuan explained: "Western Turks is a country composed of tribes. Those who attacked us before should have been from the same tribe. He did not take us seriously before, but after suffering a loss, he naturally did not want to fight with us.
Otherwise, the loss will be too great, and even if it is not annexed by other tribes, its right to speak on the grassland will be greatly reduced."
Previously, 50,000 people from the Western Turks attacked the South Camp, and another 50,000 people defended the North Camp.
However, the 50,000 soldiers and horses that had just defended the Peking University Camp were transferred to the South Camp, about 20,000 people.
Although the Western Turks lost nearly 10,000 people, there are still more than 40,000 people. The Tang Dynasty also suffered a lot of losses, and the external traps have been almost cleared. Even if Lin Xuan sent people to clean up again, the effect would not be
Too big.
It is somewhat unexplainable to say that the Western Turks chose to increase their troops because they have been unable to break through the South Camp.
Lin Xuan's guess is not without basis.
Nomads are composed of many tribes. Although they obey the orders of the Khan, they have great autonomy.
Some of them are similar to the warlords during the Republic of China. Although those warlords were nominally under the control of Chiang Kai-shek, they were actually all princes.
It's okay to fight with a tailwind, but once the wind goes against you, you'll want to preserve your strength.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the mobilization of troops outside and said with a smile: "It seems that Lin Xuan has put a lot of pressure on them. Just leaving 30,000 people to defend me is not taking me seriously."
Due to the distance, Cheng Yaojin could not clearly see the battle situation in Nan Daying, but since the Western Turks withdrew some of their troops from here, it meant that the Western Turks' attack on Nan Daying was not going smoothly.
"General, the South Camp only has more than 10,000 troops. The Western Turks have now mobilized 70,000 troops to attack. My subordinates are afraid that they will not be able to defend. Should we take action in advance?" said a general.
Cheng Yaojin was hesitant. There were only 30,000 Turkic cavalry outside the Beida camp, and there were more than 30,000 cavalry on his own side, so he already had an advantage in terms of strength.
With equal strength, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was not afraid of the cavalry of the Western Turks.
Cheng Yaojin was confident that if he destroyed the opponent's 30,000 cavalry, his own losses would not be too great.
But in this case, the remaining 70,000 people will definitely escape, and only 30,000 people will be killed, which makes Cheng Yaojin a little dissatisfied.
"There's no rush, let's wait for Lin Xuan's signal as agreed." Cheng Yaojin hesitated for a while, but decided to act according to the original plan.
…
"The Tang Dynasty is really so strong? Even Lord Qi Jin, with 50,000 people, couldn't break through it?" Bad Zorg said with a hint of ridicule.
Bad Zorg is the leader of a medium-sized tribe, and the Qi tribe is not far from the Basaigan.
There were frequent frictions between the two tribes, but because of the overwhelming power of the cadres, Bad Zorg could only swallow his anger. Now that he had such a good opportunity, he would not let it go, and wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Sha Bo Luo.
A trace of anger flashed in Sha Boluo's eyes, which quickly disappeared, and he said coldly: "If you think you are capable of breaking through the Tang Army's camp, I can let you go first."
Bad Zorg's expression was a little unnatural. He only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, which was already the majority of his tribe's troops. Shaboluo lost nearly 10,000 people and did not attack. It can be seen that the Tang army's camp was not that easy to break.
"What? Are you afraid?" Shaboluo said disdainfully: "As long as you can break through the Tang Army's camp, I won't take any of the gains."
Bart Zorg was overjoyed and asked: "Is what Mr. Qi Jin said true?"
Shaboluo raised his hand and said: "Immortal God, I, Shaboluo, promise that if Bad Zolg can break through the Tang Army's camp, all the harvest will belong to Bad Zolg."
"Okay, then let the warriors of my tribe attack first!" Battzorge said.
No one in the grassland breaks the oath of eternal life.
Although the Tang Army's camp will not be attacked, Shaboluo's attack lasted for so long and consumed part of the Tang Army's strength. It should not be too difficult to attack now.
Even if the loss is larger, it is worth it compared to the gain.
The weapons and armor of the Tang Dynasty have always been the most lacking in the Western Turks.
If he could get all the weapons and armor from the Tang Army's South Camp, even Shaboluo wouldn't be afraid.
After Bad Zorg finished speaking, he quickly went down to mobilize his troops.
"Sir Qi Jin, if Bat Zorg breaks through the Tang Army's camp, do you really want to give them all the harvest?" Dawa Tsering felt a little distressed.
He felt that the methods of the Tang Dynasty had been figured out, and it was not difficult to break through the Tang army's camp. Sha Boluo's promise was tantamount to giving benefits to Bad Zorg.
"What? Do you want me to break my oath?" Sha Boluo said with narrowed eyes.
"Lord Qi Jin has misunderstood. The Tang army's equipment is very good. If we can obtain it, no other tribe except the leader will be our opponent." Dawa Tsering said.
A hint of sinisterness flashed in Shaboluo's eyes: "I just said it all belongs to him, and I didn't say I wouldn't rob it. Whether Bad Zorg can take it back depends on his own ability."
Dawa Tsering looked at Shabolo in shock.
Huluwu waved his hand and said: "I will give you 30,000 people this time. After Bad Zorg opens the gap, he will immediately lead his people to follow. We must destroy the Tang army as soon as possible."
If it weren't for Cheng Yaojin's tens of thousands of cavalry on his side, he wouldn't have planned to send troops at all. Let Tang Dynasty consume Bad Zorg's strength, and he would be much more relaxed when the time comes.
"General, they attacked." Cheng Chumo said.
Lin Xuan looked at the charging Turkic cavalry and said: "It seems that my guess is good. The Turkic cavalry attacking this time are much different in terms of elite level and weapons. They should not be from the same tribe as those in the morning.
