Chapter 179: The Famous General Falls

Su Dingfang, Jiang Song, and Lu Junyi led 15,000 elite cavalry to kill them mightily. From a distance, he saw Li Shiji's troops and horses, and was about to lead the army to break into it and kill it, but unexpectedly, the army and horses were not prepared to fight with their own army at all, and directly gave up all the grain and grass and baggage, and went straight to the north.

"General Su, what tricks is this Tang Army playing?"

Lu Junyi looked at Su Dingfang with a puzzled expression, and said with some vigilance: "They shouldn't be trying to play some conspiracy, right?" ”

"This is the plain, a flat river, no matter how capable Li Shiji and Li Xiaogong are, they can't play any tricks?"

Su Dingfang looked at it for a long time with his hand on his head, and said in a deep voice: "The Tang army in front is under the banner of Li Shiji, I think that guy doesn't want to engage in conspiracy at all, he just wants to run!" ”

"Run!"

Jiang Song also said with a puzzled face: "This big battle is imminent, and he Li Shiji just ran away?" ”

Su Dingfang said in a deep voice: "The master traveled all over the world and knew the world's heroes, I remember that he once told me that although Li Shiji has the qualifications of a famous general, he cherishes his life too much, such a person is very good at self-protection, and will never put himself in danger." ”

Lu Junyi clenched the steel gun in his hand and urged the horse to leap forward: "General Su, can we chase after it?" ”

Su Dingfang smiled slightly: "No need, our purpose in this battle is to destroy the main force of the Tang Army, and Li Shiji took away no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he is completely vulnerable in front of our nearly 200,000 troops of the Great Sui." What's more, if Li Xiaogong dies in this battle and he, Li Shiji, escapes, do you think Li Yuan will let him go? ”

Jiang Song said with some caution: "Then what if Li Xiaogong also escaped among Li Shiji's military horses?" ”

"Impossible!"

Su Dingfang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You see the shouting and killing sound in front of the sky, which shows that Yue Shuai's soldiers and horses are fighting fiercely with the Tang army, if Li Xiaogong, the commander, abandons the three armies and flees for his life alone, how can the Tang army over there have any thoughts to fight with Yue Shuai?" ”

Speaking of this, Su Dingfang's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said loudly: "Immediately pass the order, the officers and soldiers of the three armies don't need to ignore Li Shiji's department, advance at full speed and attack Yue Shuai back and forth, and capture Li Xiaogong alive!" ”

"Yes!"

。。。。。。。。。。

Li Xiaogong led his troops to fight to the death with Yue Fei's army, waiting for Li Shiji's reinforcements. Suddenly, I heard the horn behind me, and I couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly turned my head to look at it, and my heart suddenly cooled, as if sinking into a thousand-year-old cold pool. As far as the eye can see, the smoke and dust in the sky are soaring, tens of thousands of cavalry galloping on war horses are approaching this side, and a large flag embroidered with Sui characters in the center is fluttering in the wind, hunting in the air.

"Chong, capture Li Xiaogong alive, capture Li Xiaogong alive, the bounty is 10,000 taels, and the fertile land is 1,000 hectares!"

"Kill, kill the Tang thief, and those who descend will not die!"

Lu Junyi galloped under his crotch and rode the Baoyu unicorn beast, took the lead, and shouted loudly to the Tang army: "Tang thief Li Xiaogong listen, Li Shiji'er has abandoned you and led his troops to flee for his life, and those who know each other will obediently dismount and be bound, otherwise, you will die without a place to be buried." ”

The Tang Army, who was fighting bloodily with Yue Fei's subordinates, heard that Li Shiji, the number two person in the army, actually fled for his life alone, and for a while the army's morale was greatly disturbed, and their fighting spirit was frustrated, and they talked about each other one after another.

"What, General Li Shiji ran away?"

"How is it possible, how could General Li Shiji run for his life alone? This must be the Sui army's desire to disturb our military morale! ”

"What disturbs the morale of the army, if Li Shiji didn't run, how could the Sui army kill from behind so easily, with the soldiers and horses under his hands, no matter what he says, he can withstand it for a while and a half, and he will send us a message!"

。。。。。。。。。。

Under the banner of the Chinese military marshal, Li Xiaogong's face was pale, and he stood motionless, only his hands kept shaking because of the anger in his chest. Tian Zaibiao, who had just retreated from the front line, immediately rushed to Li Xiaogong's side when he heard this, and arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, that Li Shiji is so vicious, regardless of your safety, fleeing alone, the last general will protect you out of the encirclement, catch up with Li Shiji, and will definitely cut this thief with thousands of knives and divide the body of five horses." ”

"No, never!"

Li Xiaogong suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Tian Zaibiao, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Li Shiji did the right thing. Now that the Sui army is attacking from both sides, our army will undoubtedly be defeated. Li Shiji led the army to stay here, but he only added 10,000 more corpses.

You immediately broke through the siege and went north to catch up with Li Shiji, and ordered him to respond to Li Longji's headquarters on the northern line of Hanzhong, and look for an opportunity to recapture Hanchuan County. Now the loss of Bashu is a foregone conclusion, and we will be kept Hanchuan no matter what, otherwise the Bashu Sui army will easily invade Guanzhong in the north, and Chang'an will never have peace. ”

Li Xiaogong was also helpless, although he was very annoyed in his heart that Li Shiji gave up his move to escape alone. But he also understood that if Li Shiji was really pursued at this time, he would definitely lead the army to surrender to the Sui army. The defeat of the Battle of Bashu has been decided, the only thing he can do now is to keep as many soldiers and horses as possible for the Tang Dynasty, and the 10,000 troops and horses under Li Shiji's command are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they can't be cheaply given to the Sui army no matter what.

Although Tian Zaibiao is young and vigorous, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not have been worshiped by Zhu Di on stage in later generations. After listening to Li Xiaogong's words, he immediately understood his intentions, and forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction with Li Shiji and said: "Your Highness, since this is the case, I will protect you to break out, as long as you don't turn your face with Li Shiji at that time!" ”

Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly and said, "Your martial arts are strong, it is not difficult to break through from here." But I can't, the fierce generals in the Sui army are like clouds, and they will definitely become a burden to you when the time comes. What's more, I was ordered by the emperor to sit in Bashu, and now that Bashu is lost, what face do I have to go back to see Your Majesty? ”

Tian Zaibiao was anxious, and he got up and wanted to persuade again: "Your Highness. . . ”

Without waiting for Tian Zaibiao to continue, Li Xiaogong had already put on a straight face and said sternly, "Needless to say, this is a military order, Tian Zaibiao, do you dare to disobey the order?" ”

"The last general ... Yes, sir! ”

Tian Zaibiao reluctantly arched his hand, bowed to Li Xiao, picked up his gun and mounted his horse, and killed him towards the north without looking back.

Seeing Tian Zaibiao go away, Li Xiaogong also turned over and got on the horse, picked up a horse lance and stepped forward bravely, loudly encouraging morale: "Brothers, now I Li Xiaogong has nothing to say, for the sake of Datang, I fought with Sui Gou!" ”

"Ding Dong, Li Xiaogong was detected to have entered a state of decisive death, force +5, base force 88, and the current force has risen to 93."

"Ding Dong, Li Xiaogong's four-dimensional ability was detected, commander 96, force 88, intelligence 91, and politics 87."

Li Xiaogong is a disciple of Guan Long, and he has been familiar with bow horses since he was a child, and it is unusual for him to be ruthless at this time, but after a while, he has already picked more than a dozen Sui army generals.

Li Xiaogong's behavior immediately aroused the anger of a group of Sui generals, and Lu Junyi, who was closest to him, raised his gun and jumped on a horse and killed him: "Li Xiaogong, do you still have to resist stubbornly when you die?" ”

The two horses intersected, and the battle was not three, so Lu Junyi found a flaw and swept Li Xiaogong off the horse with a shot, and shouted: "Come on, tie him up for me!" ”

Li Xiaogong, who fell off the horse, laughed miserably and said: "I, Li Xiaogong, am the king of the dignified county, how can I fall into the hands of the enemy and humiliate the Tang Dynasty?" As he spoke, he drew the sword from his waist and swiped it against his neck, killing himself.
