But it is said that Li Xian led the army to lay an ambush this time. After Li Jinzhong led the army to arrive, he immediately launched an ambush battle. Due to sufficient preparation in advance, and although Li Jinzhong had judged it, he asked the commander of the army to
Yeluye could not reveal this matter, so in this way, the army sent by Li Jinzhong, except for the general Yeluye, did not know any information about the Tang Dynasty's ambush in advance, so when it was ambushed, it was natural
A disastrous defeat.
However, although Yeluye retreated, it was because of sufficient preparations in advance that he naturally guided the main force of the defeated army to retreat in the preset direction.
Although his army suffered heavy losses, these losses were only for the front army. The losses for the center and rear armies were not too great. Moreover, the generals who served as both the center and rear armies were well-known in the army.
The army was well managed, so even if it was defeated this time, the whole army would not be broken up. However, 20,000 of the more than 30,000 troops retreated with Yeluye.
Of course, along the way, the Tang army had been following and launching attacks. The level of madness was terrifying just thinking about it, so there was no need for Yeluye to remind them. All these soldiers ran forward desperately.
Of course, the speed of the Tang army was not slow. Thousands of people were killed by the Tang army along the way. Even Yeluye felt a burst of physical pain after hearing about such losses.
However, Yeluye could only "turn grief into strength" and led the army to move forward. They ran for more than forty miles and stopped in front of a mountain.
This is an ambush circle carefully designed by Li Jinzhong. There are Khitan elite cavalry ambushing on the left and right wings. Not only are powerful cavalry ambushed there, but also powerful crossbows. Anyone who dares to break in will definitely be attacked by superior troops.
of containment.
"Hmph, little thief Li Xian, let me see if you dare to lead your troops to chase me this time?" Yeluye stared coldly at Li Xian's army following his own team and said coldly.
Although he was hoping from the bottom of his heart that Li Xian would sneak into his ambush, he knew that Li Xian had always been calm and composed, and he might not be easily fooled this time.
And the facts turned out to be true. As soon as Yeluye's army stopped, he found that the Tang Dynasty army suddenly stopped marching and quickly arranged the troops in order. This situation made Yeluye a little confused. What on earth was the Tang army trying to do? Could he have seen through it?
Their ambush?
But the problem now is that the Tang army has not completely entered the ambush circle, but there are thousands of people within the attack range of the Khitan ambush. If an ambush is launched in this way, even if it can win, the results obtained will be too little, or even
None of them could make up for the losses of Yeluye's army.
Although Yeluye could also imagine that even if he could defeat the Tang army this time, his side would definitely suffer heavy losses, but he had made corresponding preparations, but if the Tang army was allowed to run away like this, or just annihilate more than a thousand of their people
, this is really unacceptable.
"If this is the case, wouldn't the sacrifice of the warriors under my command be in vain? However, the Tang army is cunning. If they really want to implement the ambush plan, it seems that they can only make some sacrifices to lure the Tang thieves into the ambush circle." Thinking of this, Yelu
Ye couldn't help but feel relieved and decided to lead his army back. No matter what the cost, he would lead the Tang army to the core of the battlefield. Even if the entire army was annihilated, they would not regret it at all, because if they used the more than 30,000 people under their command
In exchange for annihilating the main force of the Tang Dynasty, or even just capturing or killing Li Xian, their sacrifices were considered worthwhile.
"Commanders, please give me my order to attack the Tang bandits immediately." Yeluye shouted and gave the order to the soldiers under his command to attack.
"Ah? General, the Tang bandits are powerful. Our army is defeated, its morale is low, and it is impossible to fight. If we attack at this time, I am afraid we will suffer losses..."
When the captain who was responsible for conveying the order heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate a little and whispered to Yeluye.
"Hmph! Yu Lao Er, you are so brave! How dare you question my order! Do you want to risk your life? Listen to my order and order the attack quickly, otherwise I will kill you now. As for the losses in the army, the battle will be defeated.
I will be responsible for everything!"
Yeluye did not tell the captain that there was an ambush on his side, because once the news came out, it is estimated that the morale of those under his command would immediately rise. If the Tang army was scared away, then he would really cry.
Can't find the place.
Now Yeluye has decided to sacrifice himself, let alone the soldiers under his command who don't know the truth? What's more, if it is according to his idea, as long as he is killed, the soldiers will definitely escape. In this way, the soldiers in his army will
The loss will never be too much.
The second Yu Lao was named Yu Qian, and he had been greatly favored by him before. Now seeing that Yeluye insisted on doing this, he naturally did not dare to say anything. He gritted his teeth and issued a military order to attack.
The sound of war drums suddenly sounded, and all the soldiers in the army were stunned and at a loss.
"Are you kidding me? It's time to launch an attack! How can we defeat the Tang thief?"
"Yes, are all the heralds crazy?"
"These bastards, they are hiding behind and don't care whether we live or die!"
…
The soldiers were complaining, but they saw that the soldiers supervising the formation behind them all looked coldly and pulled out their gleaming swords. The meaning was very clear. If they didn't take action, they would be beheaded immediately for absconding. In addition,
They were surprised to find that their leader, Yeluye, was already charging forward. They all rushed forward with a roar, as if they had taken aphrodisiac.
"Kill, kill all the Tang thieves!" These Khitan soldiers all moved forward bravely to kill them, as if their lives were worthless.
At this time, a smile appeared on Li Xian's lips. In fact, Li Xian had naturally judged long ago that the Khitan must have an ambush here, but he also had his own plans, so he decided to force it from the beginning.
He broke into their ambush, but when he saw Yeluye escaping to the hill, he suddenly thought, what would the Khitans do if he didn't break in?
So Li Xian did just that, but to his delight, Yeluye came directly to die in order to lure him into taking the bait.
"Haha, if I don't take such a huge advantage, can I, Li Xian, still be Li Xian?" Looking at the enemy general Yeluye who was rushing towards him not far away, a look appeared on Li Xian's face.
A faint smile, and a sharp light gradually burst out in his eyes. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
