With the cooperation of the soldiers from the Firearms Supervisor, they constantly tore apart the Tuyuhun encirclement. Soon, the Tuyuhun encirclement was shattered into pieces.
The Tuyuhun army was naturally unwilling to admit defeat. However, as long as the Tuyuhun soldiers went forward to surround them, grenades would explode above their heads. Although the power of grenades was not as powerful as gunpowder, they were quite lethal when they exploded in the dense Tuyuhun army. They were like sharp swords hanging above the heads of the Tuyuhun army, causing them to be fearful. This made the Tang Army even more powerful.
Many Tuyuhun soldiers wanted to snipe the soldiers from the Firearms Supervisor. Unfortunately, the Left Army Guards had already protected them like heroes. They did not give the Tuyuhun army any chance at all.
Soon, under the deterrence of the grenades, a large number of Left Army Guards quickly broke out of the encirclement and left the battlefield.
"Hahaha!"
Cheng Yaojin, who had escaped, laughed heartily. He originally thought that he would not be able to escape this time. He did not expect that the Firearms Supervisor, who only had 30 people, would actually save him.
"It's this army again. Damn it!" Tianzhu King said with bloodshot eyes when he saw the Tang Army easily escape from the encirclement. If it were not for the threat of the grenades, the Tang Army would not have been able to break out of the encirclement so easily.
"Tianzhu King, the Tang Army's reinforcements have arrived. They are less than ten miles away from here," a scout hurriedly reported.
"Less than ten miles!" Tianzhu King's figure trembled. It must be the signal flare that led the Tang Army's reinforcements to come so quickly.
"Retreat!" Tianzhu King said with a helpless expression and hatred.
After such a long siege this time, the Tang Army had long been exhausted. If it were not for the interference of the Firearms Supervisor, the Tuyuhun army would have been able to wipe out the Tang Army in this period of time.
"Dang, dang, dang!"
With a series of hurried sounds, the Tuyuhun cavalry sounded the gong to retreat. A large number of Tuyuhun cavalry began to retreat one after another.
"You want to run? It's not that easy. " How could Cheng Yaojin be willing to accept such a big loss? Judging from Tujun's reaction and calculating the time, it was obvious that the Tang dynasty's reinforcements had arrived.
With a wave of Cheng Yaojin's hand, the Left Guard Commander who had just broken out of the encirclement did not retreat. Instead, he followed behind the Tuyu army and did not allow the Tuyu army to retreat easily. The Tuyu cavalry turned their horses around and counterattacked. The Left Guard Commander did not hesitate to retreat in the direction of the reinforcements.
"This is really Cheng Yaojin!" Meton, who was heavily protected in the army, was dumbfounded. He watched with his own eyes as Cheng Yaojin turned the breakout into a guerrilla war.
"The cunning Tang Army!" Tianzhu King looked at the Left Army Guard that did not fight with the Tujun army but kept entangling with them. He could not help but curse them for being shameless. In his impression, the Tang Army had always been brave and fearless. No matter how strong the enemy was, they would never retreat. When the army in front of him was fighting just now, they were completely like the soldiers of the Tang dynasty. Who would have thought that once they broke through the encirclement, they would suddenly change from a gentleman on the battlefield to a hoodlum on the street?
If Tianzhu King knew what kind of style Cheng Yaojin had in the imperial court, he would not be so depressed. What he encountered was an existence that gave the entire imperial court of the Tang dynasty a headache.
"Dong dong dong!"
Accompanied by billowing smoke and dust from the north, the sound of hurried horse hooves was getting closer and closer. The Tang dynasty's reinforcements had finally arrived.
"Kill!"
Qixin Heli waved his hand and a large number of Turks rushed into the battlefield one after another.
The situation of the battlefield was immediately reversed. The Tuyuhun cavalry were scared out of their wits. They immediately turned their horses around and fled. However, they were tightly chased by the Left Army Guard led by Cheng Yaojin.
A large number of Turks directly cut into the Tuyuhun cavalry. Like sharp blades, they surrounded the Tuyuhun cavalry and finally eliminated them bit by bit.
After a long time, the smoke and dust in this grassland slowly dispersed, revealing the dead Tujun army and the high-spirited Tang Army.
"Did you find Tianzhu King?" Meton and the other firearms officers had already used up their grenades and did not participate in the pursuit. They waited until the battle stopped before urging their horses to ask.
Cheng Yaojin shook his head regretfully and said, "That old man saw that the situation was not good and actually abandoned his subordinates to escape. Let's see if General Qixin Heli can get rid of this scourge."
As for Tianzhu King who put the Left Army Guard in danger, Cheng Yaojin wanted to kill him as a sacrifice for the Left Army Guard. However, the Left Army Guard had just fought a big battle and did not have the strength to chase again. The task of chasing Tianzhu King was handed over to Qixin Heli's Turks.
Unfortunately, not long after, Qixin Heli returned with a great victory. However, he still could not catch up with Tianzhu King.
At the same time when Qixin Heli returned, Li Jing led the Tang Army to finally arrive. When he saw that the Left Army Guard was safe, he immediately rejoiced.
Soon, the process of this battle spread throughout the army. The firearms department once again became the focus of the entire army.
The story of Meton leading thirty cavalry to rescue the besieged Left Army Guard was like a whirlwind that blew through the entire Tang Army camp. Immediately, all the officers and soldiers were in an uproar.
Putting aside the power of the grenades, just the courage of thirty people to charge into the army made countless people look at the firearms department in a new light.
"Many thanks!"
Cheng Chumo came in front of Meton and hugged Meton gratefully.
"Let go of me. I am not a homosexual. Also, how many days has it been since you last bathed?" Meton quickly pushed Cheng Chumo away and said with a look of disgust.
Qin Huaiyu and Yuchi Bao Lin immediately burst out in laughter. Cheng Chumo's face immediately turned red, and he glared hatefully at his two bad friends. The atmosphere that had been brewing suddenly disappeared.
"The firearms department did not attack because General Cheng was besieged. Even if any soldier was besieged, the firearms department would not hesitate to rescue him," Meton said seriously.
"No matter what, the Cheng Family owes you a favor this time." Cheng Chumo patted Meton's shoulder. If it were not for Meton's rescue, whether Cheng Yaojin could come out alive was another matter. Without Cheng Yaojin, the backbone of the Cheng Family, the future of the Cheng Family would probably be very difficult.
But fortunately, this time, the Tang Army turned defeat into victory and eliminated the Tuyuhun's final counterattack.
"Now, Fu Yun's forces are probably not much. He is not far from destroying the Tuyuhun!" Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.
Meton nodded. The two armies of the Tang Army successively broke through the Tuyuhun tribes and eliminated the resistance of the Tuyuhun. Li Jing's strategy of dismembering the Tuyuhun forces had completely worked. According to the captives of the Tuyuhun army, Fu Yun still had 10,000 elite cavalrymen under his command.
As long as they found Fu Yun, this war would be over.
Immediately, the Tang Army took the initiative to attack and swept all the Tuyuhun tribes west of Chaka Salt Lake. At the same time, the South Army overcame many difficulties and finally reached Baihai, which was the famous Sanjiangyuan in the future. They eliminated the last Tuyuhun tribe hiding here.
However, when the two armies swept the grassland, they did not find any trace of Fu Yun.
"Qimo City!"
Everyone in the Tang Army focused their attention on a small city in the westernmost part of the Tuyuhun map. All signs indicated that Fu Yun must have retreated to Qimo City with the last forces of the Tuyuhun.
However, when everyone saw the long distance on the map, they could not help but gasp.
To reach Qimo City, they had to pass through the huge Chaidamu Basin. There were many deserts and Gobi Desert here. No man's land was thousands of miles long, and the total distance was nearly 3,000 miles. It was conceivable that this would be an arduous expedition.
Everyone understood that Fu Yun wanted to use this expedition to wear down the Tang Army and make the Tang Army fearful.
"Pursue immediately. Even if Fu Yun escapes to the corner of the sea, we must destroy him!" Li Jing waved his long sword and said without hesitation.
Looking at Li Jing, who was in his sixties, resolutely mounted his horse, this time, no one had any objection. They immediately mounted their horses and set off. Whether they could finish off the Tuyuhun in one battle or not depended on this expedition.
