Although Richard did not thoroughly understand the detailed military power information of the Tufan Expeditionary Force, he still had a lot of general information. The entire Tufan Expeditionary Force had only more than 30,000 armored soldiers. They all appeared in this battle. You can imagine what the so-called "Tuban Main Force" behind it was.

Therefore, after Richard left behind a field legion that could not be fought again, he personally led the elite cavalry of the multilateral army and more than 100 Shenji Battalions to chase after Songtsen Gampo in the direction of escape.

In addition to these men, Richard has 40,000 lucky coins in his hand, which can explode again on the spot. In this way, he can not only win a big victory, but also sweep away the last forces of the Tufan Expeditionary Force!

Although the Tufan tribe warriors had little field combat capabilities, they would still cost Richard Richard a lot of money if they could be eliminated in one go, the situation in the Western Regions could basically be settled.

The remaining Long Letian is no match for Richard at all!

It’s a pity that Songtsen Gampo is not a fool, or he was scared by the combat effectiveness of the Taoist soldiers under Richard. It’s nothing to be afraid of death during the battle. Aa, a green-skinned orc who had been dealing with the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years... isn’t he going forward?

However, Richard's Taoist soldiers were both brave and fearless and possessed extremely high military qualities, which was very terrible!

With the training and equipment level of Richard's soldiers, even an army composed of ordinary humans is enough to compete with the elite iron-armored soldiers of the Tufan Kingdom, not to mention the fearless buff?

At first, Songtsen Gampo only heard from others, and his understanding of the strength of Richard's Taoist soldiers was a little vague. However, after the battle, he witnessed his own army's defeat in the case of absolute advantage in numbers. Songtsen Gampo no longer dared to look at Richard's Taoist soldiers directly!

It is natural that Songtsen Gampo could not throw his last family fortune to Richard and slaughtered.

When she passed by the main army in the middle, Songtsen Gampo took away all the Tufan tribe soldiers. She didn't even bother to take care of the logistics and military servants who forced her to recruit, and marched with all her might to retreat to the rear!

Moreover, Songtsen Gampo felt that it was not safe enough to retreat to the ordinary city, so he led his troops all the way to Shule Army Town, which had ready-made fortress city defenses before stopping and starting to deploy defenses!

At this time, Songtsen Gampo had lost the courage to fight Richard in the field. He could ensure that the morale of the remaining troops in Tufan did not fall below the negative value in a short period of time. It would be very difficult to resist Richard's offensive based on the city wall fortress.

Richard, who had not chased the remaining forces of the Tufan Expeditionary Force, felt a little disappointed, but Richard knew that this could not be forced. As long as Songtsen Gampo was not confused, he would not continue to fight against Richard in the field.

However, because Songtsen Gampo led his army to retreat, the cities that remained knew the news that Richard and Songtsen Gampo won a great victory in the battle between Songtsen Gampo, and also learned that the most elite part of the Tufan Expeditionary Force led by Songtsen Gampo was wiped out!

Among the main forces of 50,000 strikers, even if more than 20,000 Tufan tribe soldiers were killed, they would not have much impact on the Tufan Expeditionary Force. The Tufan Kingdom’s most undesirable Tufan tribe soldiers were the Tufan tribe soldiers who dared to fight and fought so hard that they were poor that they had only one life left...

However, the 30,000 iron-armored soldiers, including the Tufan Imperial Guards, were wiped out. It can be said that the main force of the Tufan Expeditionary Force has been completely destroyed. Although the remaining Tufan tribe soldiers are quite large, everyone knows that their real combat capabilities can only be considered ordinary...

Even soldiers from the Han local garrison troops can compete with the Tufan tribe soldiers as long as they muster enough courage.

It can be said that the Tufan tribe warriors are useless except for bravery. They need to be equipped without equipment and train without training, and they will not even leave the most basic queue!

Now Songtsen Gampo can still control the overall situation, relying entirely on the remaining power of the past, it is obvious that when the results of the battle spread throughout the Western Regions, Songtsen Gampo and even the Tufan Expeditionary Force led by him will probably be exhausted...

Of course, Songtsen Gampo can no longer care about so much now. He must seize the time to keep the territory he has mastered as much as possible while the remaining power has not been dispersed!

Songtsen Gampo, who had just settled down in Shule Army Town, immediately sent a team of partial divisions composed of Tufan tribe soldiers to the western region city on the verge of Tufan Kingdom to protect his own way of retreat!

Originally, the Tufan Expeditionary Force was a giant in the Western Regions. The indigenous people and Han gentry and bureaucrats in the occupied cities naturally followed the rules. The Tufan Expeditionary Force only had symbolic troops stationed in garrison to ensure stability in the rear route.

But now all the main elites of the Tufan Expeditionary Force were destroyed, and the winning Richard was rushing into the territory of the Tufan Expeditionary Force from west to east. If the Han gentry and bureaucrats in the Western Regions city in the south suddenly defected to Richard, Songtsen Gampo and his Tufan Expeditionary Force would be blocked and would become alone in fighting!

At that time, Songtsen Gampo will be deprived of his qualification to return to his hometown if he loses!

This is naturally something Songtsen Gampo can't stand!

Therefore, Songtsen Gampo would rather reduce the Tufan troops on the Shule Army’s defense line, and also sent a large group of troops to watch the major cities on the back road to the south.

At the same time, Songtsen Gampo sent envoys to the Khotan Army Town to negotiate with Yuchi Yingzhe. On the premise that Songtsen Gampo made concessions, Yuchi Yingzhe and the Tufan Expeditionary Force established a stronger alliance agreement.

Songtsen Gampo could also take the opportunity to draw out the Tufan troops in the Khotan army town and arrange them to other Western cities occupied by the Tufan Expeditionary Force.

Establishing an alliance was just a political resource that Songtsen Gampo took away. In fact, the Tufan Expeditionary Force was no longer able to continue to look at Yuchi Yingzhe, the local snake while fighting against Richard.

Withdrawal from the Khotan Army Town not only gained the favor of the Yuchi family, but also provided more troops to protect the retreat.

Yuchi Yingzhe thought he had become a mortal enemy of Richard. If Richard finally won the victory, the glory of the Yuchi family would probably be ended, just like the Zhaowu family before!

So Yuchi Yingzhe and Songtsen Gampo hit it off and formed a strategic alliance behind him.

Yuchi Yingzhe is not alone. The area around the Yuchi family’s Yutian Army Town is a deeply rooted local snake. A large number of Han gentry classes are allies and even relatives of the Yuchi family!

After the Yuchi family formed an alliance with the Tufan Expeditionary Force, the Yutian Army Town soon established a good-looking defense line from the Shule Army Town. Relying on each city as a node, the Shule Army Town and the Yutian Army Town are the support points at both ends!

Of course, how solid this line of defense is still needed to be tested by war...
