Chapter 181 Yoshino Tai is here
Not long after Shishisili and Tian Renhui returned to Jinshan Road, the vanguard of Xueyantuo Duomi Khan Bazhuo arrived not far from Jinshan Road.
They were watching Jinshan Road in secret, like wolves looking for food in the dark, staring closely at prey in the distance.
Yoshino Tai was one of the most powerful generals of Xueyantuo, and also Bazhuo's confidant and beloved general, and he was even more loyal to Bazhuo.
Otherwise, Yoshino Tai would not have been allowed to lead 30,000 Xueyantuo native troops.
Yoshino Tai thought that the Turkic soldiers stationed in Jinshan Road were unaware of their arrival, and was discussing with his deputy general how to eat up the 10,000 troops in Shishisili's hands.
In fact, the moment Yoshino Tai's army appeared, the news was transmitted back to Shishishili.
"What's going on with Yoshino Tai?" Shishishili, the chief of the Turkic army, asked the scout kneeling in front of him in the big tent.
"Chief, since Xueyantuo Yoshino Tai arrived there, he has been keeping his troops in place, and there has been no movement until now." The Turkish scout said.
"Got it! You continue to keep an eye on Yoshino Tai and his men, and report immediately if there is any situation!" Shishishili said.
"Yes! I will do it now!" The scout said and left the big tent.
Tian Renhui next to him asked, "Why is Yoshino Yasushi keeping his troops inactive?"
"What else can he do? He is just waiting for the right moment to catch us off guard. This way, he can be considered as the first to gain merit in front of Bazhuo." Shishisili said. "
He is really good at planning! But if we keep dragging it out, Bazhuo's follow-up troops will arrive. By then, the situation will only be more unfavorable to us. The prince is still in Wantong City, Xiazhou." Tian Renhui said.
If Bazhuo also arrives, it will be impossible to swallow up the 100,000-strong Xueyantuo army in one go. By then, it is still unclear who will defeat whom.
The opportunity for battle is fleeting, and time waits for no one. The most important thing is that the prince is still in Wantong City. What should they do if the 100,000-strong Xueyantuo army arrives at the city?
"Don't worry! I have my own way!" Zhishi Si Li said to Tian Renhui and shouted outside the big tent: "Pass the order, let the brothers who are on guard and patrol outside the big tent withdraw."
"Yes!" The voices of soldiers came from outside the big tent, and gradually faded away with the sound of horse hooves. The Turks who received the order began to withdraw.
"General, there is new movement from the Turks stationed on Jinshan Road." A Xueyantuo scout came to Yoshino Tai and saluted.
"What's the movement?" Yoshino Tai asked without turning his head.
"I found that the mobile sentries of the Turks outside the camp have begun to withdraw. There is no trace of patrol soldiers within three miles outside the Xueyantuo camp." The Xueyantuo scout said.
"General, it seems that the Turks are trying to escape. Have we been exposed?" Yoshino Tai's deputy general said.
"No matter what the reason is, we can't let these Turks escape. Pass my order and attack the Turks immediately." Yoshino Tai said.
If the Turks escape, he would have stayed here for so long in vain. It would be like the meat in his mouth flying away!
How could Yoshino Tai let the fat meat in his mouth fly away, so he hurriedly ordered an attack.
"Yes, sir!" The messenger received the order and rushed out. He quickly passed Yoshino Tai's military order, and the 30,000 troops immediately attacked the Shishisili tribe.
In order to prevent the Turks from being alarmed, the Xueyantuo army did not blow the battle horn, but instead used a messenger to pass on Yoshino Yasushi's order.
"Report~"
A fast horse galloped over, stopped in front of Shishisili and said: "Chief, the Xueyantuo army is coming to kill us."
"Okay! Pass the order down, immediately retreat according to the original plan and abandon the camp." Shishisili said.
"But! Chief, we haven't even taken down our tents yet, so why are we retreating like this?" A general beside Shishisili asked in confusion.
Other Turkic generals also talked about it.
"It's already so late, why do you still care about tents? We don't need tents anymore. The more hurriedly we leave, the less suspicious Yoshino Tai of Xueyantuo will be."
"As long as we can destroy Xueyantuo, the emperor will be very pleased! Are you still afraid of not getting a reward?"
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you retreat quickly? Do you want to wait for Xueyantuo to kill us?" Shishishili said.
"Yes!" The Turkic general took the order and left. The Turkic army began to evacuate Jinshan Road. In addition to tents, they also abandoned a lot of items.
Of course, food would definitely not be left for Xueyantuo. Leaving food to the enemy is a serious crime of aiding the enemy.
"Brother Tian, let's retreat too!" Shishishili said to Tian Renhui on the side.
"Okay! Let's go now. I'm worried whether Yoshino Tai will be fooled." Tian Renhui said as he jumped on his horse and rode side by side with Shishi Sili. He
didn't look like he was going to run away, but instead looked like he was going to have fun in the suburbs.
"Don't worry! Yoshino Tai, a guy with strong limbs and a simple mind, can't see through my plan." Shishi Sili laughed.
Not long after the Turks evacuated, the Xueyantuo army rushed to Jinshan Road. They saw intact tents and abandoned items everywhere, which was enough to prove that the Turks left in a panic.
"General, we have searched the area. Apart from the tents that were not dismantled in time, there are a lot of debris left everywhere. It seems that the Turks are in a hurry to retreat." A Xueyantuo general came to Yoshino Tai and reported.
"Haha! Good! Set off immediately. Don't let that bastard Zhishishili escape! I will cut off his head and present it to the Khan!" Yoshino Tai was overjoyed. Without thinking, he immediately ordered a pursuit.
The Xueyantuo army immediately chased in the direction where the Turks fled. As long as they could kill the Turks and Zhishishili, the army could rush into Xiazhou and plunder.
They would not stop until they killed him for three days and three nights. The Tang Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, with countless treasures of all kinds.
Yoshino Tai couldn't help laughing when he thought about burning, killing, looting and plundering in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Yoshino Tai chased after Zhishishili and the Turkic army even harder, wishing he could catch up with Zhishishili and kill him with a single blow.
Then, he would march to the city of Wantong in Xiazhou, and then break through Wantong in one fell swoop. I heard that the prince of the Tang Dynasty also ran to Wantong in Xiazhou.
It just so happened that he was captured and used as a hostage to force the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to cede land, pay compensation, and submit to the emperor.
Who told the prince of the Tang Dynasty to come to Xiazhou when he had nothing better to do than to stay in Chang'an? He can't blame anyone for being captured by me.
I, Yoshino Tai, will accept this great gift! Yoshino Tai was getting happier
the more he thought about it. He didn't realize that he had fallen into someone else's trap. It was hard to say whether he could come back, let alone realize his dream.
