In Dingxiang City.
As the 5,000 Tang cavalry trampled on the Turks, the Turks were utterly defeated in just an hour, unable to resist.
"Have you found any Turkic generals or trusted aides?”
"Reporting to Great General, we didn't find any traces, but this general captured a few Turkic soldiers for interrogation. Jie Li was here!”
"In addition, not only is Jie Li here, even his wife Princess Yicheng and his son Dieluo Shi are in the city!”
"Bastard!"
Li Jing slammed his fist on the city wall.
Who would have thought that Jie Li would really bring his family and hide in Dingxiang City. He hated the lack of troops and let these people escape!
"Great General, please give the order to pursue!”
Li Yu said solemnly to Li Jing.
"Jie Li can't run fast with his family. Governor Liu only needs to stall for half an hour and we will be able to catch up."
Princess Yicheng was also in the city, and it was almost certain that Empress Sui and Yang Zhengdao were among them!
As long as they could catch up to Jie Li Khan, they would have a chance to capture all of them alive!
"Pass down my order, leave a thousand soldiers to clean up the battlefield, the rest follow me to pursue Jie Li!”
Li Jing immediately gave the order and led Su Dingfang and the others to the northwest.
If they could successfully capture Jie Li alive, then this expedition mission would be a complete victory, and they would return victorious in less than a month!
If the news were to reach the Imperial Court, how exciting would it be?
What a pity!
Li Jing was now filled with regret. If he had listened to Li Yu's words, he would have ordered Governor Liu to send more troops over.
Presumably, even if Jie Li Khagan had wings, he wouldn't have a chance to escape!
In the end, Li Jing wasn't confident, and he was skeptical of Li Yu's guess. He only wanted to prevent the remnants of the Turkic army from escaping.
Who would have thought that Jie Li was really here and even brought so many people!
Governor Liu, can you stop Jie Li with two thousand soldiers?
Li Jing was nervous. He only hoped that he could stall for time!
As long as he could delay until the army came to his aid, Jie Li would definitely not be able to escape!!
"Advance at full speed, we can't let Jie Li escape!!!”
Li Jing shouted, and the 4,000 cavalrymen charged northwest like a black torrent.
They marched at full speed, and the horses under them almost collapsed. After running for fifty miles, Li Jing and the others led the army to catch up with the ambush.
However, it was a mess as far as the eye could see. The flags of the Fengzhou Army were all on the ground.
There were piles of corpses on the ground, and there were even many mournful moans.
"This…"
Li Jing's pupils constricted as he looked at this scene and could not help but tremble.
Two thousand Feng Province soldiers actually couldn't stop the escaping Jie Li Khan?!!
"Phew…"
Su Dingfang quickly dismounted and came over to help a soldier who was still alive from the pile of corpses. He said in a deep voice,
"How long has Jie Li escaped?"
When the soldier saw Li Yu, his eyes were filled with shame. He sobbed and said,
"General, General Su, we, we were useless, we couldn't stop Jie Li Khan…"
"I'm asking you how long they've been here!”
Su Dingfang roared angrily. Li Yu came over from the side and pulled him back.
"General Su, judging from the blood stains of the soldiers, the battle took about two hours.”
Everyone was stunned. Li Jing looked at Li Yu and said,""Really?"
"Yes, I know some medical skills. Judging from the dead bodies, they shouldn't be too far off.”
Li Yu glanced at the battlefield and said,"
"Jie Li fled in a hurry and couldn't have escaped far. There are still many soldiers alive, try to save some first.”
"Clean up the battlefield and try to save the soldiers!”
Li Jing ordered with an ugly expression.
He didn't expect that Jie Li Khan, who had a family, could destroy two thousand Feng Province soldiers so easily!
Humiliation!
" Great, Great General, Governor Liu seems to be alive…"
Zhao Hu's voice rang out from the side. Li Jing's eyes immediately flared up and he strode over.
Governor Liu had stabbed a Turkic general with his saber, and he had also been stabbed in the chest.
The two of them fell to the ground at the same time, as if they were still in a stalemate.
"Kang Sumi!"
Li Jing recognized the general. He was the trusted general of Jie Li. He had seen this person before at the Wei River Alliance!
It seemed that Jie Li was also at the end of his rope, leaving behind such a trusted aide to block the ambush!
"Pull out the knife and see if you can survive. This is Jie Li's trusted aide, we can't let him die like this!”
"I'll do it!"
Li Yu walked forward and took a closer look. Then, he took out a silver needle from his pocket and sealed the acupuncture points of the two of them. He suddenly pulled out his long knife.
"Did you bring any bandages?"
"Yes!"
A soldier immediately took out bandages and some healing medicine. Li Yu bandaged the two of them and said,
"Fortunately, neither of them suffered any vital injuries. They should be able to survive!”
"Good!"
Li Jing's face lit up. He had finally heard some good news.
Jie Li's trusted aides had been captured, so there should be some clues next, and it should be easier.
"The entire army will rest on the spot and heal the soldiers. Su Dingfang, lead 500 cavalry back to Dingxiang City to transport some supplies!”
"Great General, are we not going to chase?"
Su Dingfang was somewhat stunned. Shouldn't he be chasing after that Jie Li relentlessly and forcing him into a dead end?
After all, Jie Li had just escaped and there were still traces of him, so it was easier to chase after him!
Li Jing didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Li Yu and said,""Yu boy, what do you think?"
It was obvious that Li Jing had already accepted Li Yu's opinion and viewed him as a strategist.
"Now is not the time to chase. Our army is tired after a long battle. If Jie Li still has reinforcements, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Li Yu slowly said,"
"Jie Li is a frightened bird now, he must be on guard. When he lets down his guard, he can use a surprise attack to defeat the enemy!”
"That's right, Jie Li is a cautious person, he will definitely confuse us halfway and won't stop easily.”
A gratified expression appeared on Li Jing's face as he said,"
"We will find a place to rest tomorrow when we can't move anymore. Our army will immediately reorganize and advance at full speed at dawn!”
"When the enemy is tired, our army will be brave. Once we encounter them, we will be able to defeat the enemy easily!”
