For the sake of immortality, when Ben Khan returns, he will have to chop off their heads!
Jieli Khan, with hundreds of men and horses, scurried away with his head in his arms.
After leaving Xiangcheng and heading north for more than ten miles, Jieli finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Most of his people are his own personal guards, and they all ride the best Turkic horses. As long as they are not blocked in the city, they can only follow behind them with those Tang people's mounts.
.
As long as we can retreat to the north of Yinshan Mountain, the sky is high and birds can fly.
As for going back to fight with the army, Jieli killed the idea without even thinking about it.
If those people were reliable, how could they let these Tang troops appear under Xiangcheng!
These useless things have either rebelled or been defeated.
Go north, go north, go home, go home!
As long as you can safely return to your tribe, you will have a chance to make a comeback.
"I, Jieli, swear to the Immortal Heaven that he will come back one day to avenge today's shame!"
He was riding on his horse, looking at the snow and wind. He was already thinking about how to arrange his manpower, rectify the remnant soldiers who had fled in front, and return to his tribe to recuperate and regroup.
His eyes swept over Ashnadul majestically.
"Ashnadur, my good brother, tell the brothers, try harder. I remember there is a small nomadic tribe ahead. Tonight, we will go there to repair it and add some more.
Provisions..."
We were in such a hurry when we escaped just now that we didn't have time to bring anything with us. If we didn't replenish supplies in time, let alone escaping back to the north of Yinshan Mountain, we would probably freeze to death or starve to death on the way.
At this time, when he heard that he was not far ahead, he could get a supplement. He immediately cheered up and went straight to the small tribe to kill them.
It's really killing.
In this windy and snowy weather, these small tribes have already been exploited by them once. The remaining food cannot even feed the people of their own tribe. How can they feed so many of them?
Life on the grassland is so cruel. Either you die or I die.
…
Looking at the messy dental tents on the ground, both Li Jing and Su Dingfang looked unhappy, and many young generals could not help but show a look of disappointment on their faces.
Although the capture of Xiangcheng is a great achievement in itself, the failure to capture Jie Li is naturally a fly in the ointment, and the credit must be greatly reduced.
He couldn't help but frown and glanced at everyone. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly focused and he asked in a deep voice.
"But someone saw General Wang Xuance and General Xi Junmai——"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They were just busy fighting and didn't really pay much attention. At this moment, a young soldier whose clothes were stained with blood hurriedly ran in.
"General Qi, General Wang Xuance and General Xi Junmai took their troops to pursue Jieli Khan——"
Chased out?
"Have you found traces of Jieli Khan?"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they asked excitedly.
"No - but the two generals said that their master once said that Jieli would most likely flee towards Yinshan Mountain, so they went towards Yinshan Mountain..."
Everyone:…
How unreliable is this!
Although I know that the reason why my army is formed is because of those two masters, one code is the same.
Although that strange man is powerful, he is not a god.
Even though he was thousands of miles away, he could know in advance that Jieli was going to escape, and he still had to flee to Yinshan?
"Yinshan?"
For some reason, Li Jing suddenly felt as if he was missing something, and felt a little irritated for no reason.
But after all, he was a veteran who had led the army for many years. He quickly suppressed this inexplicable emotion and analyzed with a frown.
"Yinshan - it's not impossible. Since General Wang Xuance and General Xi Junmai have already chased in that direction, let's all chase separately -
Wang Xuance and Xi Jun went to Yinshan to buy it, which was simply metaphysics.
Although General Li Jing said it was possible, it was just possible.
To the south, he has hundreds of thousands of troops to support him, and to the west, there are his 100,000 troops gathered at the foot of Lingzhou City. After all, Jieli Khan is a tycoon of his generation, how could he abandon his hundreds of thousands of troops and flee directly?
As for whether Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai would pursue Jieli Khan all the way, no one thought about it.
Everyone was almost at the front of the tooth tent. If I didn't see Jie Li's person, could Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai see it?
Find traces based on horseshoes?
Don't be ridiculous, with this crazy weather, if you don't last for half a quarter of an hour, the natural wind and snow will wipe out all traces. As long as you don't chase him out immediately, it's just a matter of luck.
Li Jing and Su Dingfang naturally knew this truth, but they still had to pursue what they should pursue.
"That Jieli fled overnight. I expected that he would not bring much supplies. As expected, he would definitely look for supplies within a hundred miles. To obtain supplies, there are only two ways. One is to go south and meet Yunnan.
Zhouzhou, Shuozhou’s troops are gathering, and the other is going north to plunder the scattered small tribes - let’s split up and chase them!”
After Li Jing finished speaking, he and Su Dingfang immediately led the troops and chased out separately.
At the same time, fast horses were dispatched to Yunzhou, Shuozhou and Lingzhou overnight.
The news of the destruction of Xiangyang City must be spread as soon as possible.
I believe that as long as the city of Xiangyang is defeated and news of Jie Li's capture spreads, the crisis on the border of the Tang Dynasty will be over.
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai really chased him away.
Unlike the others who rushed straight to the tent, when they saw that Jieli Khan had not formed an effective resistance at all, they knew that the old man Jieli had most likely escaped.
He immediately chased them out with his troops.
At that time, messy horse hoof marks could still be seen vaguely at the gate of the city, but by the time they tied up their skis again and chased out, the marks had been almost wiped away by the wind and snow.
"Jieli definitely didn't expect that we would make a surprise attack at night. They must not have much supplies with them when they escape. There are so many of them. If they can't find supplies, they will definitely starve to death..."
Wang Xuance frowned and said.
"So, I guess they won't be able to escape very far -"
"I remember my master said that Jieli Khan is selfish, greedy for life and afraid of death. Once he encounters a sneak attack, he will most likely run for his own life - I didn't expect that to be the case!"
At this time, Xi Junmai was so impressed by his master.
Isn't the situation in front of me exactly the same as what my master mentioned in casual conversations?
Listening to Xi Junmai's words, Wang Xuance couldn't help but feel something in his heart. Suddenly he and Xi Junmai looked at each other tactfully and said in an uncertain tone.
"I remember that the master seemed to say at that time that if Jieli ran away, he would most likely flee towards Yinshan Mountain——"
"Chase!"
Suddenly their eyes lit up, and they didn't bother to go back to ask for instructions from Li Jing in person. They directly assigned a person to go back and report, and then led the people to chase in the direction of Yinshan Mountain.
