Chapter 575: The End of the Road (5)

In the first battle of Juyan City, Li Xun's losses were not small, more than 5,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, thousands of people were seriously injured, and the combatable soldiers in Li Xun's hands were less than 40,000, and the overall strength began to be a little nervous.

After resting for a day in Juyan City, Li Xun ordered Wang Dezhao and Yuan He to lead 10,000 cavalry to Moyang City, where there were still 30,000 soldiers from the Western Regions who had not yet been resolved.

Although Zhan Heng was defeated and 90,000 soldiers were wiped out, not all of them were killed in battle, more than 60,000 soldiers from the Western Regions surrendered or were captured by Li Xun, of course Li Xun could not kill them all, if he really wanted to do this, it would only cause the hatred of everyone in the entire Western Regions, and create an extremely unfavorable situation for future development, Li Xun would naturally not do such a stupid thing.

Li Xun took Li Cunxiao as the general, leaving 5,000 soldiers to garrison Juyan City and guard more than 60,000 troops from the Western Regions, and then, Li Xun led 25,000 soldiers out of Juyan City and entered Lin City.

Zhan Bai finally chose to fight to the death with Li Xun, the city of Qicheng is not big, but it is very strong, after his arrival, he has launched several attacks in a row, although there are not many Hammer Euqi soldiers, but with the strong city, but also easily resisted the siege of Zhan Bai's army.

Zhan Bai has his own considerations, the Jin army has begun to approach here, he only has two days, if he can't take Qi City within two days, the Jin army will arrive at that time, Juyan City will be broken, Zhan Heng and the news of the annihilation of 90,000 soldiers may no longer be able to hide, in the face of such a huge and heavy blow, even Zhan Bai himself is almost collapsed and desperate, the ordinary soldiers below, their mood can be imagined, there is no need to fight, the army on their side may not have the will to continue fighting.

Take Qicheng in two days? Zhan Bai really didn't have this certainty, so after pondering it again and again, he finally decided to concentrate all the 60,000 troops in his hands and fight to the death with the Jin army, these 60,000 troops are the most elite forces in the entire Western Regions, and the vast majority of them are veterans of a hundred battles who have been fighting with the Dashi Empire for several years, and the combat effectiveness is very strong, which is also the source of Zhan Bai's confidence in daring to continue to face the Jin army.

Zhan Bai lifted the siege of Qi City, led all the army to kill the Jin army, Hammer Er Qi in Qi City got the news, greatly relieved, Brother Yu suggested that the troops follow behind, and the Jin army before and after, in one fell swoop, destroy Zhan Bai's army.

But Moy laughed and said, watching the two powerhouses compete, wouldn't it be wonderful for me to sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman?

Hammerezi heeded his advice and stood still.

Zhan Bai's side, leading 60,000 soldiers, when he learned that there were only more than 20,000 people in the Jin army, not even half of his own, Zhan Bai was overjoyed, and ordered the whole army to speed up, the two armies were getting closer and closer, and the distance was less than fifty miles, and another life-and-death battle seemed to be about to begin.

Li Xun's army has all stopped, he is waiting for the return of the scouts, three waves of scouts before and after, the first two waves have returned, bringing the situation of Zhan Bai's army, Li Xun is waiting for the last wave of scouts, he wants to know what is happening in Qicheng at this time.

Soon, a third wave of scouts returned, bringing the news that the four gates of Qicheng were closed and Hammeezi was immovable.

Hearing the news, Li Xun laughed and said, "It seems that Hammer is not too stupid, and he knows the truth that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch behind." ”

Hammerezi only has 6,000 soldiers, and the general is weak and weak, what does Li Xun want? What you want is the entire Western Regions, how can Hammereqi not know this, Zhan Bai is his last obstacle, once Zhan Bai is destroyed, Li Xun may take the opportunity to destroy even him Hammer Aeqi.

Does Li Xun have this idea and plan? That's natural and certain, where you lie on the couch, how can you allow others to snore? With a figure like Hammer Ezy by his side, how can Li Xun feel at ease, if he has the opportunity, he will naturally be annihilated immediately.

Sima Tu also came with him this time, and he persuaded softly: "The overall situation of the Western Regions has all fallen into the hands of the lord, whether it is advance or retreat, the initiative is completely in our hands, and the lord must not be in a hurry." ”

Li Xun smiled and said lightly: "What I said, how can I not know, although I am not talented, I will not be as stupid and arrogant as Zhan Heng." ”

After that, Li Xun gave the order to withdraw the troops to the left and right.

Li Xun withdrew his army, how could Zhan Bai be willing, and immediately led the army to pursue until the city of Juyan City, and at this time, Li Xun's army had already returned to the city safely.

Looking at the tall and sturdy Boulder City, Zhan Bai roared loudly: "A group of rats, dare to come out to fight? ”

Li Xun stood at the top of the wall, looked at Zhan Bai in anger, shook his head and smiled, pointed at him and said to everyone: "Do you think Zhan Bai looks like a grasshopper after autumn?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Du Zhongbo's face was extremely heavy, the thing he didn't want to see the most finally happened, now the initiative of the whole overall situation is in the hands of Li Xun, it can be said that he can advance and retreat freely, if Li Xun is hot-headed and comes out to fight hard, there may be some hope on his side, but now it seems that Li Xun is very calm and avoids fighting, this is the best choice.

Zhan Bai scolded there, and the scolding was endless, Du Zhongbo shook his head, stepped forward to grab him, and signaled him to stop talking, such an ugly appearance would only make others laugh and not play any role.

Du Zhongbo arched his hand at Li Xun in the city, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, is Li Xun and Li Jieshuai, the famous Wuzhou Festival envoy from all directions?" ”

Li Xun smiled and replied, "I don't dare to be famous, it is Li Xun below, but your Excellency is Mr. Du Zhong Bodu, who is outstanding in his resourcefulness?" ”

Du Zhongbo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Li Jieshuai has won the award, if he is outstanding, he will not fall to this point today, Li Jieshuai is so praised, I Du Zhongbo is really ashamed." ”

"Such a predicament is definitely not the fault of the gentleman."

Li Xun Zhengse said: "The countries of the Western Regions are like wanderers in the sand, valuing profit rather than righteousness, which is the fundamental thinking of the vast majority of people, and it cannot be changed by one person in a short period of time. ”

Zhan Bai gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't come, the Western Regions will be unified by me sooner or later." ”

Li Xun sneered: "There is no ifs in this world, if I don't come, are you waiting for you to come to me?" ”

Du Zhongbo said loudly: "You have occupied half of the Western Regions, isn't it enough?" ”

"The overall situation of the world, take advantage of the trend, if there is no Hammer Eye behind you to set fire, not to mention half of the Western Regions, I am already very satisfied."

Li Xun laughed, and finally said: "Don't say that I won't give you a chance, I will give you five days, and within five days, I should stand still and not go out of Giant Rock City, it depends on whether you can solve Hammereqi within five days." ”

After that, Li Xun didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Zhan Bai stared blankly at the city in front of him, and finally could only sigh and do nothing.

If it was in the field, Zhan Bai would have dared to fight, but the Jin army did not fight, but took the initiative to withdraw the army, sticking to the city, nearly 40,000 Jin troops, with a strong city to rely on, Zhan Bai has 60,000 troops, what confidence and ability does he have to launch an attack?

Zhan Bai looked at Du Zhongbo, who shook his head and sighed, "Withdraw first." 2k reading network
