Chapter 655 Isn't this scheming deep?
Tenzin Ngawang said with a gloomy expression, "Does the chief executive know how many warriors we lost because of the late arrival of the Tang Dynasty? Just because of the late arrival of the Tang Dynasty, in just a few days, more than three warriors returned to the Longevity Heaven. "
All of Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses add up to more than 20. Including the previous casualties, there have been [-] to [-] casualties so far, accounting for almost one-third of Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses.
Lin Xuan didn't care about this. Datang originally wanted to fight to make both Western Turks and Xue Yantuo lose. Naturally, the more Xue Yantuo casualties, the better.
It's just that the loss of Western Turks is not too big now, and Xue Yantuo cannot be allowed to perish so quickly.
"What does this have to do with my Tang Dynasty? Could it be that if Datang doesn't send troops, you will surrender?" Lin Xuan said lightly.
Tenzin Ngawang was speechless by Lin Xuan's words.
As far as Xue Yantuo is the last person to surrender, I'm afraid he will belong to him except Yi Nan.
Although the strength of Huihe was weaker than that of Xue Yantuo, but with the restraint of the Western Turks, Yi men did not dare to attack Huihe. Therefore, Huihe was attached to Xue Yantuo in name, but in fact it was no different from an independent khanate.
If the Western Turks destroyed Xue Yantuo, could Huihe still be so comfortable?
For Tenzin Ngawang, not only could he not surrender, but he also did not want Xue Yantuo to lose the war. Only in this way can Huihe continue to be independent.
It is precisely for this reason that Tenzin Ngawang spared no effort in the war in the past few days. In addition, Yinan also used all his strength, and the casualties of the rest of the tribes were not very large, so they could persist.
If Huihe and Xue Yantuo had reservations, the rest of the tribes would have lost too much, and they might have surrendered long ago.
For those tribes, they and Xue Yantuo are not only not a tribe, but also a nation, and it is impossible to build their own tribe for Xue Yantuo.
Before the East Turks were strong, they attached themselves to the East Turks. Later, Xue Yantuo had the support of the Tang Dynasty and was relatively strong, so they chose to attach themselves to Xue Yantuo.
Now that Western Turks are strong, they naturally don't mind being attached to Western Turks.
It is precisely because his tribe has lost too much that Tenzin Ngawang was so angry when he sent troops to Datang late.
As soon as Lin Xuan led the troops into the grassland, the Western Turks retreated.
From Tenzin Ngawang's point of view, if Lin Xuan sent troops earlier, his people would not have to die so many in battle.
But he couldn't refute Lin Xuan's words. As Lin Xuan said, even if Datang didn't send troops, would they just surrender and stop fighting?
Other small tribes may, but Xue Yantuo and Huihe will not.
"Okay, we should be grateful that Datang sent troops to help us." Seeing that the two were deadlocked, Yi Nan said aloud.
However, Tenzin Ngawang couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "Let's not talk about anything else, but the chief executive only brought 1 people here, what effect can it play?"
"I'm afraid the chief executive doesn't know the strength of the Western Turks?"
Tenzin Ngawang paused and said, "Western Turks now have more than 30 cavalry. How much does the chief inspector think the Tang's 1 men can defeat?"
Lin Xuan had to marvel at the power of the grassland. Now the combined population of Western Turks and Xue Yantuo is only 300 million, but the combined strength of the two sides is 60 million, and all of them are cavalry.
This is not the limit of the two parties. You must know that almost all the nomads are soldiers.
It is unrealistic to let old and weak women and children go to the battlefield, but it is no problem for the two sides to gather 100 million cavalry.
Although Datang claims to have millions of soldiers and horses, according to Lin Xuan's understanding, there are actually not that many.
Datang's total military strength is about 80, and Datang implements a military system and a rotation system, and less than half of them have been in service for a long time.
In the period of cold weapons, the number of people fighting has an absolute advantage, but it does not mean that a large number of people is sure to win.
Otherwise, the two sides don't need to fight, just see which side has the most people and just surrender directly.
As we all know, the period of Genghis Khan was the largest period in history.
At that time, the land area reached more than 3000 million square kilometers, almost four times that of later generations, and this was before Genghis Khan had occupied the Central Plains.
At that time, Mongolia had only about 20 soldiers and horses.
Those European countries in later generations said that Genghis Khan had more than 70 soldiers and horses at that time, but there is actually no basis at all.
According to historical records, most of Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry numbered 10,000+, and at their peak they were around 20.
The reason why it is said to be 70 is because the Mongolian cavalry at that time had three horses per man. If they went on an expedition, they would bring more horses to transport supplies.
The Mongolian cavalry like to line up and charge, and the Mongolian cavalry rarely lost at that time, so it was exaggerated.
However, most of Datang is infantry, and the cavalry of more than 50 is still too threatening to Datang.
Lin Xuan put away these messy thoughts, and said lightly: "Who said that the Tang Dynasty only has these soldiers and horses?"
"The chief executive means that Datang will have follow-up troops coming?" Yi Nan asked a little excitedly.
If Datang still had soldiers and horses coming over, he would be very sure of defeating the Western Turks.
The other tribal leaders also looked at Lin Xuan, hoping to hear a definite answer from him.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Datang will not continue to increase troops, after all, Datang is short of food now."
"The chief executive is playing tricks on us?" Yi Nan said a little angrily.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Lin Xuan just gave him hope, but now he said that Datang would not continue to increase troops, which made Yi Nan feel that Lin Xuan was playing him.
"Khan, don't get me wrong. Although the Tang Dynasty will not send troops here, but there is a strange army. As long as Xue Yantuo can hold back the Western Turks, the Western Turks will definitely retreat if Xue Yantuo can hold back the Western Turks. If you kill them, you will definitely defeat the Western Turks." Lin Xuan said unhurriedly.
The surprise soldier Lin Xuan was talking about was naturally Ashinasheer, but he was not sure whether Xue Yantuo had defected to Western Turks, so he did not directly expose Ashinasheer.
He had no choice but to say this. Now Xue Yantuo was a little scared by the Western Turks. Except for Yi Nan and Tenzin Ngawang who still did not give up, the rest of the tribal leaders had no intention of resisting at all.
Lin Xuan said it at this time to strengthen the confidence of those people and let them continue to fight with the Western Turks, otherwise how to weaken their strength?
Yi Nan stared at Lin Xuan, he couldn't tell whether what Lin Xuan said was true or not.
"General Manager, the main force of the Western Turks is now assembled, and the rear is empty, so there is no need for us to delay it. If Datang sends out surprise troops to raid the rear now, the Western Turks will definitely retreat." Tenzin Ngawang said.
Yi Nan's eyes lit up, this is a good way.
If it's true then it's best, if it's false they won't lose anything.
Lin Xuan sneered, who said that grassland people are bold and have no scheming?Isn't this scheming very deep?
If you really do what Tenzin Ngawang said, when the Western Turks retreat, how will they consume their strength?
