The storm was just around the corner.
Just as Du Jingfeng was approaching Gao Aocao quickly, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a hurricane swept in from afar, covering the sky and the sun, with flying sand and rocks.
The scale of this sandstorm was far greater than the one Gao Aocao had encountered before. The howling wind between heaven and earth had the momentum to tear everything apart, and rocks as big as a human head were rolled up.
The soldiers on both sides who were fighting were frightened by the power of heaven and earth. Du Jingfeng had no time to attack Gao Aocao, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to lie on the ground to avoid the storm.
Countless soldiers who had no time to hide were hit by the stones in the storm and howled miserably.
Gao Aocao, who had experienced a storm, immediately lay down with his soldiers and crawled to a low-lying place that could slow down the wind.
Gao Changgong and his men in the distance were also startled by the sudden huge storm. Fortunately, there were many boulders standing in the Gobi Desert where they were. They hurriedly led their soldiers to hide behind the boulders.
Under normal circumstances, a sandstorm would last for half an hour at most, but this huge storm swept over the Gobi Desert for two hours, with visibility less than half a meter.
When the storm became slightly smaller, Gao Aocao took advantage of the situation and led his soldiers to crawl forward in the storm with their hands and feet, crawling towards the direction where Gao Changgong and others were.
After another half an hour, the storm finally dissipated, and Gao Aocao also crawled with more than a hundred soldiers to not far from Gao Changgong and others.
Gao Changgong hurriedly ordered his cavalry to come forward to support, and Gao Aocao finally met up with the reinforcements without any danger.
If there hadn't been this huge sandstorm, Gao Aocao would have been exhausted to death under the siege of the Kamikaze Corps.
This storm did not cause much loss to the Qin army, and the place where Gao Changgong and others were located successfully avoided the ravages of the storm.
Gao Aocao chose the most correct response method at the first time, and none of the remaining more than 100 people under his command were hurt in the storm.
On the other hand, the Kamikaze Corps suffered extremely heavy losses, with as many as two or three thousand soldiers killed or injured in this storm, which was a huge loss for the Kamikaze Corps.
At this time, Du Jingfeng's face was full of anger. If it weren't for this storm, he would have been absolutely sure to keep Gao Aocao, and even leave these Qin army's support troops in this vast Gobi Desert.
Now the enemy has successfully joined forces, and they are all cavalry, so they can advance or retreat. However, if Du Jingfeng lets them go so easily, it will be a great shame.
"The enemy has nearly 200,000 troops, and they are all elite. While their formation is not stable, we should evacuate quickly."
Wei Xiaokuan quickly made a judgment. Although the enemy has a large number of people, their formation was in chaos under the attack of the storm, and they were defeated. The original encirclement was also torn open by them.
Gao Changgong nodded in agreement and said, "Let's withdraw from Chiyan Gobi first. The identity of this legion in front of us is unknown. Such elite troops are definitely not the army of the court. If I am not wrong, I am afraid it is related to the Xu family of the Xuanyue Dynasty. Withdraw to the camp first and make plans later."
Everyone began to lead the troops to evacuate. Du Jingfeng commanded 30,000 cavalry nearby to intercept them. After fighting desperately, they finally killed them before the enemy formed an encirclement again.
Du Jingfeng personally led the cavalry to pursue the Qin army until late at night. Seeing the Qin army, the support troops led by Murong Ke and Hua Xiong appeared. Du Jingfeng was afraid of being ambushed by the enemy, so he gave up the pursuit.
In the Qin army camp, Gao Changgong and others who had been through a lot finally successfully withdrew to their base. Just two hours ago, the imperial army also launched an attack on the Qin army. The 200,000 imperial troops attacked like a tide, but in the end, they were defeated by the strong resistance of the Tang army, leaving tens of thousands of corpses.
Seeing Gao Aocao walk into the camp first, Su Dingfang greeted him with a concerned face and said, "General Gao, fortunately you are fine now, otherwise how can I face my lord."
After a few people exchanged greetings for a while, Su Dingfang also learned from them about the specific process of this trip to the Gobi Desert.
Su Dingfang was silent for a moment and then said: "This defeat is my responsibility. After the battle, I will go to the lord and confess my guilt."
Gao Changgong said hurriedly: "It was our joint decision to risk crossing the Gobi Desert. How can the Marshal be held responsible alone?"
The generals present also echoed.
In this Chiyan Gobi Desert, Gao Aocao's 5,000 elite Northern Wei cavalry were almost completely wiped out, and more than half of the 20,000 cavalrymen who came to support him were also killed.
It took all their efforts to withdraw.
The Qin army had never suffered such a big setback since its establishment.
Su Dingfang could not help but review his mistakes this time. First of all, the court army that had been unable to attack for several days made Su Dingfang, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, become a little impatient.
After Huikong appeared, he acted rashly without verifying the authenticity of it.
Secondly, it was also because of the carelessness of the Qin army. In their eyes, the court army was just a group of rabble, chickens and pottery dogs. Even if there was any change, they could easily retreat.
However, they did not expect the existence of the Kamikaze Corps. Since the Kamikaze Corps arrived secretly, even the Jinyiwei, who were always well-informed, did not find anything in advance.
"According to what you said, the ordinary soldiers in this army have the strength of a martial artist. It is impossible for the Beiting court to have such an elite army. It must be the work of the Xu family of the Xuanyue Dynasty."
Gao Changgong pondered and said, "Now the court army is not a concern. As long as they leave the earthen fort formation, they are no match for our army."
"The most urgent task is to send troops to guard the western exit of the Chiyan Gobi Desert to prevent this elite army from crossing the Gobi Desert and attacking Huanglong!"
"Li Siye listen to the order!"
"I am here!"
"This Marshal orders you to lead all the troops of the Tang Army to guard the exit of the Gobi Desert immediately. The right wing of the central army, which was originally guarded by the Tang Army, will be taken over by the Beichen Army."
"I obey your orders!"
In the Chiyan Gobi Desert, Du Jingfeng sat in the big tent with a gloomy face. Originally, as long as he captured Gao Aocao and swallowed the Qin Army's reinforcements, he could quickly take the Qin Army camp. At that time, with the cooperation of the court army, the Qin Army would definitely have no chance of winning.
Although this time, the Beichen Army of the Qin Army was severely damaged, but the other party escaped. Du Jingfeng was upset about this.
"Why worry, Commander? The Qin army was defeated this time. We only need to go west to Chiyan Gobi to put pressure on the Qin army. Li Yichen will definitely send reinforcements to the front line, and there is a great possibility that he will come in person. Then our plan will be successful."
Du Jingfeng's face looked better. As long as Li Yichen can be led out of Mozhou, the battle of Chiyan Gobi will not be in vain.
Du Jingfeng immediately decided that after the army rested for a night, the whole army would march across Chiyan Gobi and directly attack the Qin army camp.
