Chapter 912: Xue Rengui, the new God of War
Soon after the Liang army issued the retreat horn, Zhang Xutuo also issued a retreat order, and the Liang army that was still alive after breaking through the Dragon Gate Formation immediately couldn't wait to retreat with great eagerness.
Don't be in a hurry, after breaking through the Dragon Gate Array, they know what the Ghost Gate Pass is, so how can they be willing to stay in such a terrible place for a long time.
The fierceness of the Battle of the Dragon Gate Array simply exceeded anyone's imagination.
Only in the early days of the war, Xue Rengui used the Longmen array of 10,000 people to trap more than 6,000 troops in Yin Kaishan and Liu Hongji, and then trapped 10,000 troops in Li Yuanba and Jia Fu, a total of 16,000 troops.
In order to block the general attack of Li Shimin's army, Xue Rengui divided the most elite 3,000 camps to block the enemy, and only relied on 7,000 ordinary soldiers to block the 16,000 elite Liang army.
After that, Li Shimin added 4,000 troops again, and sent Li Keyong and Zhang Xutuo to lead the troops to attack, and the two generals took advantage of Xue Rengui's lack of time to take care of the situation that the inside and outside should be combined, and finally broke through the Longmen array.
In other words, Xue Rengui commanded 7,000 soldiers and horses, but he had been fighting with the 20,000 Liang army, which was nearly three times his own.
You must know that the 7,000 soldiers in the Longmen Formation that Xue Rengui laid out were not the ace elites like the trapping camp, and there was a certain gap between the comprehensive quality of the soldiers and the Liang Army, if it weren't for the Longmen Array, I am afraid that the entire army would have been wiped out long ago.
Relying on these ordinary soldiers, Xue Rengui achieved incomparably brilliant results.
Before the Longmen Array completely collapsed, the first batch of 4,000 Liang troops who entered the battle were basically dead, and the second batch of 10,000 troops also suffered more than half of the casualties.
If it weren't for the third batch of Li Ke using their 4,000 soldiers and horses, Xue Rengui would have been able to even kill the first two batches of Liang troops a little bit.
It's a pity that no matter how exquisite the formation is, there is also a limit to endurance, and the Longmen Formation is naturally no exception, and Li Keyong and Zhang Xutuo have touched this limit.
When the Longmen Array had just collapsed, the 7,000 coalition army was still less than 5,000 people.
In other words, Xue Rengui only suffered less than 2,000 casualties, but he annihilated the Liang army's strength of more than 10,000.
When the final decisive battle began, by the time Li Shimin ordered the retreat, the strength of the coalition army was just over 1,000 left.
More than 4,000 allied troops died in the final battle, and of course, the Liang army also paid more than 3,000 casualties.
20,000 soldiers of the Liang Army entered the battle, but only 8,000 were still alive, while the 7,000 coalition troops were killed in more than 5,000 battles, which shows how tragic this battle was.
Therefore, after Li Shimin's retreat order came, the soldiers who were still alive almost wanted to cry, it was really not easy to be alive, so of course they had to withdraw quickly.
Although Xue Rengui wanted to pursue when he saw this, almost all the remaining soldiers were wounded, and he was unable to undertake the task of pursuit.
Although Xue Rengui and other generals didn't suffer much, they just killed the enemy a little out of strength, but letting a few of them break away from the soldiers to pursue didn't have much effect at all!
"Cloth a defensive formation to prevent the Liang army from going and returning, and ......"
Looking at the retreating army of the Liang army, and then at the catapult convoy that had been destroyed by more than eighty percent, Xue Rengui actually flashed a trace of happiness in the depths of his heart, and then ordered: "Immediately inspect the catapult convoy to see how many catapults are still in good condition, which ones can be repaired, and which parts can still be used......"
[Ding Dong, Xue Rengui 10,000 people arranged the Dragon Gate Array, blocked Li Shimin's 32,000 army, and achieved the achievement of 'Big Swing Dragon Gate', rewarding the commander with permanent +1 and force permanent +1, the current Xue Rengui Five Dimensions: Commander 100, Force 105, Intelligence 85, Politics 76, Charisma 97. 】
If Lu Bu is currently the first and only general who has reached the god of war level through a little improvement among all the local generals, then Xue Rengui is the first and only god of war among all the summoned generals.
Xue Rengui became the fourth God of War under Qin Hao, but compared to those fierce generals who were born as God of War, his current background is still a little worse!
There was more than one Longmen Formation in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, as for the side of the trapping camp, Zhao Yun and other generals did not order the pursuit when they saw that the Liang army was about to withdraw, and the reason was naturally that the trapping camp was due to heavy infantry.
In the battle just now, Zhao Yun and other generals were entangled by the generals of the Liang army, but the trapped camp still blocked the 12,000 Liang army without a general, and achieved the result of killing 3,000 enemies and losing 1,000.
The 3,000 trapped camp faced more than four times the enemy army, but still played a 1-3 casualty, although this record is not as amazing as the Longmen Array, but it is still very rare, and the trapped camp once again proved its prestige as a strong army in the world!
"Zhao Zilong, I'll get here here today, and I'll take your head next time!"
Wu Yunzhao said with an unwilling face, and then rode his horse and retreated with the soldiers.
Zhao Yun gasped, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, in this battle between him and Wu Yunzhao, if it wasn't for the fact that Master Shang and apprentice were in the way, even if he couldn't kill Wu Yunzhao, he would definitely be defeated.
On the other side, Huang Zhong saw that Xin Wenli and Qiu Rui were also going to escape, so he immediately took his bow and arrows and prepared to kill them, but because he ignored He Ruobi, he reminded the two generals to avoid the vital point.
On the way back to the Tiger Prison Pass, all the generals of the Liang army gathered together, and Li Shimin also met Lu Bu and Hou Yi.
Li Shimin looked at Hou Yi, who was seriously injured and dying, and was already in a coma, and was shocked: "The strongest generals of the coalition army are all in the Longmen Array, who has the strength to injure General Hou Yi like this?" Could it be that Li Cunxiao has returned? ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he said with a wry smile: "General Hou Yi was injured by Qin Hao. ”
"What? How is this possible? ”
Li Shimin's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe this fact.
Not only Li Shimin, but also Lu Bu couldn't believe it, Qin Hao in his cognition couldn't be so strong, but the last scene when Qin Hao almost killed Hou Yi was seen by Lu Bu with his own eyes, this can't be faked, right?
"It's true, Qin Hao's martial arts have made rapid progress in the past few years, and now they are completely different from what they used to be."
Lu Bu sighed, and still had a little bit of the qualifications of a pioneer Qin Hao in his heart, after all, he was far from being as strong as Qin Hao at Qin Hao's age.
"Qin Hao, you are really hiding deep enough." Li Shimin sighed.
The reinforcements of the coalition army are about to arrive, and now for the Liang army, the most important thing is to withdraw to the Tiger Prison Pass, so Li Shimin has to worry about this matter and is not in the mood, no matter what happens, wait until he returns to the Tiger Prison Pass.
When the Liang army left the city, there were 40,000 troops, but when they returned, there were less than 20,000, and the casualties were so heavy, but fortunately, the purpose of going out of the city was achieved.
Li Shimin led some generals to advance into the city, but when he climbed the tower of the Tiger Prison, he found that the cavalry of the coalition army had been killed in front of the pass, while the Liang army had thousands of soldiers and horses that had not yet entered the pass.
