Kill! Kill! Kill! Li Zhen fought hard, panting like a bellows. Although his tall figure was still upright, his steps had begun to falter, the speed of drawing his sword had also slowed down, and his arms felt heavy.
As if filled with lead, Li Zhen's whole body was dripping with blood at this moment, like a bloody person, and the original color could not be seen at all. If he could lie down to rest, Li Zhen would have fallen to the ground long ago, but it was a pity that he could not.
, facing the sergeants of the Wolf Camp who were attacking wildly, Li Zhen could only hold on desperately, mechanically drawing out the sword, and then drawing out the sword again. But just when Li Zhen was exhausted physically and mentally, a turning point appeared, as Xue Yantuo's army entered
A shrill horn sounded, and the Wolf Camp soldiers who were fighting desperately at the top of the city retreated from the top of the city and retreated directly into Xue Yantuo's army.
Huh? What's going on? Li Zhen stared blankly at the slowly retreating Xue Yantuo army. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he suddenly felt happy - haha, the plan was successful! The main force of the Tang Dynasty must have been defeated.
After catching Xue Yantuo's ambush, we must be not far from here! Pursuing? Li Zhen thought, it's a pity, not to mention his officers and soldiers, even he himself has long been exhausted. As soon as the wolf camp retreated from the city, Li Zhen
Zhenbian leaned weakly against the crenellations of the city wall, breathing heavily. As for the other officers and soldiers, they all fell down on the top of the city, and many of them passed out. There was no way they could pursue the enemy.
military.
That's how the world is - some people are happy and others are sad. Li Zhen was proud, but Dadu Sheke was worried. Ever since he received the news from Uba Na, Dadu She had been flustered.
, but when he thought that he might be able to capture Li Zhen alive if he tried harder, he gritted his teeth and persisted for a long time, until several rangers who desperately came out of Shatuoling sent accurate news - Shatuoling had fallen.
When Wu Bana's entire army had already dispersed towards Shuozhou, Dadu Shi didn't dare to delay any longer. Although he knew that with a little more force he might be able to defeat Shenwu, but what could he do?
It is probably not an easy task to capture Li Zhen alive, who is incredibly skilled in martial arts. If Li Zhen escapes, once the main force of the Tang army arrives, it will become a case of generously setting up a trap to defend the isolated city. How can Xue Yantuo's cavalry defend the city?
Being able to withstand the siege of the main force of the Tang army, this self-defeating approach was not the usual style of Dazai.
"Grand Governor, what is going on? Our troops have already attacked, why do we order the withdrawal?" Tudumi, the commander-in-chief of the Uighur tribe, was not active in attacking the city, but retreated in one place. As soon as he transferred back to the central army, he immediately
He asked confidently.
"Yes, the city is about to be breached. The Commander-in-Chief has to wait for me to give me an explanation." Qi Jinyeda, the commander-in-chief of the Pugu tribe, also helped.
How could it be that Huihe and Pugu were not clear about the scene when they attacked the city? At this time, seeing these two guys who did not work hard, they were questioning themselves. Suddenly, they were angry and their face turned dark.
, Xunji calmed down, glanced at the two commanders, and sighed: "You two don't know anything. Niutou Ridge and Dancao Gorge have been defeated. The Tang army is approaching. Our army cannot stay for a long time. We must first
What do you think about withdrawing to Shuozhou and making plans?"
How? Hehe, Tu Du Mi and Qi Jin Yeda were already tired from fighting. When they heard that the main force of the Tang Army was approaching, how could they dare to stay any longer? Even if they were given a few more courages, they would not fight against the main force of the Tang Army.
Their faces turned green with fright because of their boldness. They looked at each other and each of them hurriedly said: "The Commander-in-Chief is wise, should I withdraw as soon as possible?"
Dadushu nodded calmly, and said after a while: "Even if we want to withdraw, our army cannot withdraw immediately. If the Tang army in the city takes advantage of our army's retreat to launch a surprise attack and entangle our army, once the main force of the Tang army
Come here, my retreating army will be driven away. Well, your two troops will set off immediately and withdraw to Shuozhou first. The governor has ordered the Ubana tribe who stayed in Shuozhou to send troops to support them.
I will lead the Chinese army to suppress the formation to ensure the safety of your retreat, so hurry up and prepare."
The ambush at Shatuoling of the Uban tribe was a private arrangement made by Dadu Shi. The commanders of the two tribes did not know about it. Naturally, they did not know that the Uban tribe had already been defeated. At this time, I heard that Da Du Shi’s words made sense, although I was a little skeptical.
It was a generous intention, but at this moment people were so panicked that they didn't bother to ask more questions. They each saluted and hurried back to their camp. Not caring about packing their luggage, they hurriedly led the army to flee in the direction of Shuozhou.
Go. After waiting for Huihe, not long after the Pugu troops withdrew, Xue Yantuo's army, which was always facing Shenwu City and was on alert as if facing a formidable enemy, also began to withdraw. However, it followed the route taken by Huihe and Pugu.
Different - Xue Yantuo's army walked in the direction of Kaiyang City, and it moved extremely fast. The nearly 80,000 troops left in less than two sticks of incense, leaving only an empty camp, and a few more.
The sick and wounded in the camp were wailing endlessly.
The enemy troops had withdrawn, and all the Tang Army officers and soldiers all over the city lay down on the ground as if they had been released. Even the energy to cheer was gone. Of course, many of the surviving officers and soldiers still had a smile of victory on their faces. Only
Not only did Li Zhen not smile, but she frowned, and her heart sank for a while, not because of the heavy casualties, but because she had a new understanding of the ruthlessness of Dadu Design - Dadu Design's withdrawal was already in
Li Zhen was not surprised, but there was nothing to say. Even if he generously gave up the concession to Huihe, it was not surprising that Pugu and his two men would serve as scapegoats. This was what a general should do, but
It would not be easy for Dadu to resolutely withdraw his troops when he is about to capture Shenwu. There will not be many people who can resist such temptation. After all, if you put more effort, you can break the city, and maybe it is really possible to seize it.
Before the main force of the Tang army arrived, Li Zhen was captured alive. At that time, the Tang army, which had surrendered to the enemy, had no other choice but to give way. None of the generals in the Tang Dynasty had the guts to actually capture Li Zhen.
Even if you win with your life as a bet, what will happen? After cheating Li Zhen, even if Li Shimin doesn't say anything, he must be thinking about it in his heart. Throwing it out at the right moment is a serious crime, and no one will do it.
Wouldn't you be stupid enough to risk your own life in exchange for a little illusory glory? At least Li Ji, who is famous for his safety, would not do such a thing.
Oh, Dadu assumes that this kid is really a *** person, ***, he can run quite fast, ***, this time he is really a bit shy! Although Li Zhen has never seen a big guy before,
It is assumed that he is a person, but a lot of research has been done on this person - because "Yanji Trading Company" has trade relations with various tribes outside the Great Wall, Li Zhen's "Rising Sun" has also penetrated into the grassland.
I often collect things on the grassland. Of course, as the eldest prince of Xue Yantuo, Da Du Shi must be the focus of "The Rising Sun". Several of Da Du Shi's battles are recorded in detail in "The Rising Sun". Therefore,
Li Zhen is no stranger to things on the grassland, and is also quite familiar with Dadu's military tactics. This is the reason why Li Zhen can prescribe the right medicine to set a trap for Dadu. However, Li Zhen still missed two calculations -
Li Zhen did not expect Dadu to be so decisive and dare to give up the "victory" that was about to be obtained; the second was the combat effectiveness of Langying. Although Li Zhen had long known that Langying was fierce, she did not expect that
To such a ferocious level, precisely because of the existence of these two items, Li Zhen's confidence in whether he could capture Da Du She this time began to waver.
Shuozhou is a dead place. Both Dadu She and Li Zhen knew this. At this moment, the main force of the Tang army must have divided its troops to attack Shuozhou, and the main force was rushing to Shenwu. Returning to Hehe, Pugu and the other two troops could only go to Shuozhou Road.
It's just a matter of death. There is absolutely no way to fight against the main force of the Tang army, and the Tang army in the direction of Kaiyang will not be able to take care of it for a while, so Kaiyang can leave, but Li Zhen has long expected that Dadu Shi will leave if the situation is not good.
In Kaiyang, corresponding troops have already been arranged to block the road Dadu set up. There are two roads out of Kaiyang: one is Killing the Tiger's Pass. At this time, Killing the Tiger's Pass has fallen into the hands of the Tang army. Although the defenders
There are not many, but it is not easy to capture it immediately. Once the main force of the Tang army arrives, the main force of Xue Yantuo who is trapped under Guancheng will probably not be able to escape the end of the entire army being annihilated. This road is impassable; the second road is Yungang.
The Great Wall in the direction of Ganggang has been in disrepair for a long time and has long been dilapidated. It is not a natural danger, it is just a flat grassland. Although Xue Yantuo took some detours here, it is impossible for a small number of Tang troops to hold Yungang.
Du She had no choice but to take Yungang. Li Zhen had already calculated this point and had already arranged for the Datong garrison. It was impossible for the Datong garrison of more than 20,000 people to annihilate Xue Yantuo's army, but they could hold Xue Yantuo back.
The march speed is not difficult, but now that Xue Yantuo has withdrawn a little early, it is hard to say whether the Datong garrison can arrive in time. Otherwise, in order to confuse Xue Yantuo's scouting horses and ensure the smooth progress of the battle, Datong's troops and horses are
He rushed to Yungang after the battle started. The second point was that the fighting power of the Wolf Camp was too strong. The Datong garrison could defend the city, but Li Zhen had no idea whether they could withstand the attack of the Wolf Camp in the field.
Da Du She is definitely a powerful character. Li Zhen vaguely felt that this person would bring endless trouble to the Tang Dynasty. He really wanted to take advantage of Da Du She's fledgling period to kill him, but it was a pity that Li Zhen
But now he was powerless and had no soldiers, so he could only watch Da Du She leave calmly. Apart from praying in his heart that the Datong defenders could successfully capture Da Du She, there was no other way.
After staring in the direction where Xue Yantuo's army left for a while, Li Zhen sighed and turned around. After all, there were still many things to do to appease him after the war, and there was no time for Li Zhen to think about it.
Life-saving grace should be repaid by a spring. Although Li Zhen did not fully agree with this in her heart, she still had to do her posture. She could not let others point at her spine and scold her. No, Li Zhen turned around
One thing is to go to the unknown person who saved his life and ask very kindly: "What is your name and where are you from?"
Poor little soldier, he had never talked to someone of Li Zhen's status before. When he heard Li Zhen's question, he became so anxious that his face turned red and he couldn't speak. How could there be such a desperate fight like that on the battlefield just now?
After a long time, he blushed and said: "Zhen, Zhendian, your highness, I, my surname is Liu, I don't have a name, Xing Qi, everyone calls me Liu Qi, I am from Jimo, Shandong Province."
Haha, this kid is still shy, interesting! Li Zhen was amused by Liu Qi's hurried and restless look, and looked at Liu Qi with great interest for a while, seeing Liu Qi's face red, head lowered, and panting.
.
Ha, I'm not kidding you anymore. There are still a lot of things waiting for Li Zhen to deal with. Seeing Liu Qi's embarrassment, Li Zhen laughed and said: "Liu Qi, tell me what you wish for."
"
Wish? The meaning of Li Zhen's words is very obvious, that is, Liu Qi only needs to make a request, and Li Zhen will definitely do it as long as he can do it. Although Liu Qi is a shy boy, he is not a fool, so he naturally understands it.
The meaning behind Li Zhen's words was that she raised her head, with a look of longing in her eyes, and said loudly: "I want to be the captain of the team!"
What? Captain? Is it that simple? When Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It took him a while to come back to his senses and asked with a smile: "Tell me the reason. I am very curious."
"Uncle Bu wanted to be the leader of the team, but he died trying to save me, so I want to be the leader of the team for him." Liu Qi said, scratching his neck.
"Oh." Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully, pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, I will let you be the team leader. When you come back to find me, how about you go to the king's personal barracks and be the team leader first?"
"Yeah." Liu Qiguang was so happy that he even forgot to thank him. He grinned and kept laughing, which made Li Zhen dumbfounded. But there were so many things going on at the moment, and Li Zhen was too lazy to say anything.
He turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, smoke and dust suddenly rose on the mountain road outside the city. Apparently, a large group of people were galloping towards Shenwu City... dd
