Nearly 10,000 Tang troops slowly withdrew their troops.

At this time, Li Shenfu was very decisive, leaving only 500 people to garrison the camp, slightly responding to the retreating Tang army's forward soldiers, and he led the main force of the army back to Feng Yi.

But this time it exposed the lack of experience of this Li Tang Guoqi in battle, first sent troops to defend the river beach, and the battle was slightly unfavorable, so he decided to withdraw his troops, and the switch between attack and defense was too abrupt, and it was easy to form tactical confusion.

When facing the enemy, the generals are free to wield, and the army is like an arm, which is the image of a wise general in many works of art.

But in reality, every decision made by the leading generals will not be made by a temporary flash of inspiration in wartime, and they must be discussed clearly with their subordinates before the war and communicate well.

That is to say, after the army engages, there is not much room for the leader to choose, and he always has to choose between the established strategy and tactics, and any hasty move is likely to bring disastrous consequences.

In fact, countless wars since ancient times have shown that once the number of leading troops exceeds 10,000, all the leading generals can do after the battle is to fine-tune the generals, which is also the main reason why many generals generally do not move the whole army at the beginning of the battle, and always have to leave reserves in case of accidents.

And Li Shenfu's resolute decision to withdraw not only made the generals very dissatisfied, but also caused adverse consequences in fact.

First of all, at such a moment, even if the generals understood the reason for the withdrawal of the county king, they still felt that this move was very inappropriate. Or did you come to give gifts to the enemy?

The second is that once the main force of the Tang Army retreats, it will actually leave behind the four or five thousand people who are stationed on the river beach and are engaged with the enemy, giving people the impression that although they are not defeated, they are like surviving with their tails cut off.

According to Li Shenfu's thoughts, it should have been a slow retreat, a response, and a break, which was very in line with a procedure of the Art of War, but the scene ended up being very ugly.

Of course, looking at the life trajectory of this Xiangyi county king, his performance towards the enemy is actually understandable.

As the grandson of Li Hu of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, he is skilled in arches and horses, and he is well versed in the art of war, but since his parents died when he was a child, he grew up with his brother Li Shentong, and the teachings he received were also lacking.

In addition, when Yang Guangsan conquered Goguryeo in Chang'an, the Guanxi nobles evaded military service one after another, and the Li family of Chang'an was one of the best.

In fact, even Li Shentong has never fought any decent battles, and most of the final credit is for robbing his niece, which shows that their vein is actually not very presentable.

And Li Shenfu was even more miserable, he was caught by Shangshu Wei Xuan of the Criminal Department in Chang'an, so he lost his head, and it was not until Li Yuan entered Chang'an that he was released.

After these years, whether it was Yining or Wude, Li Tang had no chance with Li Shenfu in all kinds of wars, because he was young and strong, and he was called a soldier, and Li Yuan was left in Beijing to take charge of the emperor's army.

Now that he came to the river to garrison, and led the troops to prevent the enemy from crossing the river, it was actually the closest Li Shenfu came to the battlefield, and it was also the one time he personally fought for the battle.

The ability to lead the troops...... Well, I can only say that it is remarkable.

The feeling he gives to the enemy actually proves it.

The main force of the Tang army turned around without hesitation, and the Tang army on the river beach was already a little unbearable, their enemies were wild and fierce,

Almost everyone is desperate, and everyone is brave.

Once the momentum of the Tang army's charge was frustrated, it was difficult to reverse the decline, no matter how desperately the Tang soldiers in front of them, they were also pressed back continuously, and the archers continued to shoot arrows, but their enemies continued to move forward against the rain of arrows.

That terrifying and terrifying momentum made the impression of last year's war more and more clear, the Tang army had never encountered such a tough and crazy enemy, even the old pawn transferred from the northwest, could not help but tremble.

The morale of the Tang army was constantly worn out by the screams of his comrades and the flow of blood, and the shortcomings of most of the soldiers of the Tang army who had never fought with such a fierce enemy were exposed at once.

But after all, the Tang Army is not comparable to the Righteous Army, they have a systematic operational command system and quite good logistics, and most importantly, they have the inherent pride and unyielding pride of the Qin people, whether it is morale or anything else, it is not comparable to Li Shentong's patchwork army back then.

The elite division of Wei Chi Kai who crossed the river, the Tang army was actually good at fighting, even if it was suppressed by the enemy, and the Chinese army was even more raided, but the low-level officers in the Tang army were still leading their subordinates to try to save the defeat.

The most tragic moment of the battle of the river beach took place at this time, countless people were entangled, gradually forming a melee, screams and the sound of knives and guns intertwined, and scarlet blood could not help but shoot out, adding spice to this battle for the river beach.

The people of Shandong, Hebei, Jin, and Qin fought in one place, wantonly unleashing their brutality and courage, and by the way, they also used their blood and lives to depict the evil beauty of war or the ugliness of war.

This scene can be eulogized and spurned......

Even Li Po said to Wei Chi and the others with slight admiration at this time: "The legacy of the former Qin is really good." ”

Wei Chigong blinked unconvinced, his black face looked much darker, he really wanted to say, Wei Chi Kai is a very waste, change our cavalry over, hum, a charge......

But he looked at Li Po's face, and finally chose to be silent, he was not a step group, he couldn't say flattery, but he didn't dare to slam back, so he could only say nothing.

However, Li Po's voice fell, and Li Shenfu ruined all this.

As soon as the army moved, it marched westward without dragging its feet...... It seemed that only a moment later, the Tang army on the river beach was routed, because the horn of withdrawal was sounding one after another.

The "unique" withdrawal process made Li Po as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

The Tang army on the river beach was defeated, as if crossing the river had become a smooth road, but Li Po was not the slightest bit happy, if he could drag Li Shenfu's army to the river, he was sure that it would only take a day or two to defeat it, and then ...... Feng Yi is at his fingertips.

Kansai, which was opened a big opening, how much effort did it take? Maybe we will be able to celebrate the New Year in Chang'an City this year.

He is not Yang Guang, he will release the prey and then attack the fortified city, in order to show his grandeur, he wants to hit with one blow, preferably the kind that can kill.

But Li Shenfu slipped away without hesitation, in the words of the Turks, like a timid rabbit, running so fast that he didn't even look back.

This made Li Po stunned, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and just praised you, how can you drop the chain like this?

Well, you can still complain at this time, which means that the blow is not too big.

The battle was very short, and the end was very imperfect for both sides.

Thousands of men broke away, throwing down many swords, guns, and banners, as well as the wounded soldiers who were tossing and wailing on the ground, but the losses were not great, for their enemies were powerless to pursue and extend their gains, and they had too few men to cross the river.

Wei Chixin by the river breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone saw that if he lost the battle, the vanguard position that he had won so hard would probably be replaced, and what was even more terrifying was that Xu would be ridiculed by others.

And he, who has been stationed in Jinyang for the past two years, really needs military merits to decorate his official uniform, so he is very satisfied with the result of this battle.

In fact, from this point of view, he is getting farther and farther away from the title of famous general, and dissatisfaction is the most significant characteristic of famous generals, and once lost, he will be reduced to mediocrity.

Wei Chikai obviously has the qualifications of a famous general, he and his brother are diametrically opposed, very dissatisfied, as soon as the Tang army collapsed, he used the fastest speed to cross his flag across the river, but ...... But it was useless, Tang Jun ran too fast.

When the battlefield was cleaned up and the casualties were reported, Wei Chikai's mood was much darker.

One hundred and forty-one people were killed and three hundred and sixty-five wounded, most of them by arrows...... And what made Wei Chi Kai sad was that the two battalion captains who led people to rush into the Tang army's formation were all killed, these were the bravest guys under his command, and he would rather exchange the lives of these two people for multiple casualties.

The people of Kansai are indeed not to be underestimated, this victory is not martial, but it is a pity that they failed to capture Li Shenrune, otherwise it would be good to give it to the king? This is the original words that Wei Chikai said to his brother after that, Wei Chikai, who has a temperament that is upright and irritable, may not be satisfactory as an official, but his aggressiveness in military affairs is not comparable to his brother.

As soon as the Tang army left, Wei Chi and his troops easily took the Tang army's camp as their own, and at this time, the Tang army came to attack, and the army had a foothold by the river, and they could choose offensive and defensive tactics at will.

What he didn't expect was that the Tang army retreated so quickly and so resolutely, so that his previous small abacus was completely empty, and this would definitely make the future war difficult.

As for the casualties of Wei Chi's troops, he only heard about it briefly, and then put it aside, it was too "slight" and was not in his consideration at all, because this was no longer the time when he needed to fight with the baht.

No matter how well he whitewashed, the casualties were just cold numbers in his eyes, and that never changed.

The river beach was cleaned up, and Li Po ordered the troops to cross the river, and when it was getting dark, the whole army finally landed on the opposite bank.

Some people may say that in a short period of time, more than 1,000 people rushed to the opposite bank, and 20,000 people died in your army, which took most of the day?

But the facts tell people that the meaning of the whole army is not only that people should pass, but also that the grain and grass should be accompanied by the baggage, otherwise will you let the army cross the river and eat the wind?
