Chapter 178: Li Shiji escaped

He Yuanqing rushed into the battle group on horseback, swept out of the army with a double hammer in his hand, Tian Zaibiao's face changed, the horizontal spear blocked in front, and he swung out with all his might.

"Brother Ying Xiang, let's work together to take down this kid!"

He Yuanqing saw that he had used all his strength to make a move that was actually pushed back by Tian Zaibiao's unpretentious block, his face changed, and he hurriedly beckoned Yue Yun to come forward to help.

"To bully more and less, even if you win, you can't win!"

Yue Yun's face suddenly turned embarrassed when he heard this, and he hesitated in place for a long time.

"The battle on the battlefield is a life-and-death battle, where is there any fairness?"

At this moment, Yue Fei suddenly rode his horse and rushed up from behind, glaring at Yue Yun with a sharp look in his eyes, and then rushed past Yue Yun's side, and rode straight to Tian Zaibiao.

Seeing Yue Fei's fierce eyes, Yue Yun couldn't help but shudder, where did he dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately slapped the horse and danced the hammer to join the battle group.

Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and He Yuanqing besieged Tian Zaibiao together, and even if Tian Zaibiao tried his best skills, he couldn't take advantage of it, but he was already exhausted and out of breath after more than 20 rounds, and he had no choice but to sell a flaw and run away.

"Tian Zaibiao has been defeated, brothers kill!"

Seeing the defeat of Tian Zaibiao, the first fierce general of the Tang Army, the morale of the Sui army was like a rainbow, and under the leadership of generals such as Yue Fei, Yue Yun, He Yuanqing, and Xu Qing, they bravely stepped forward, killing the soldiers of the Tang Army with heavy losses and corpses all over the field. Although the soldiers of the Tang army also fought to the death, they were still grasshoppers shaking the trees, but in a moment, the formation was disrupted and turned into white bones under the iron hooves of the Sui army.

"Go straight to Shuai Qi and capture Li Xiaogong alive!"

Yue Fei led the crowd to kill through the obstruction of Xie Yingdeng's department, and pointed forward with the Liquan gun in his hand, and more than 10,000 elite horsemen suddenly roared in unison as if they had found their way, and the sound was like thunder, rushing away like a stormy wave.

"Resist, resist, be sure to resist me!"

Li Xiaogong, who was at the flag of the commander of the Tang Army, waved his sword vigorously and roared hoarsely. He saw clearly from behind that the 5,000 Tang troops led by Xie Yingdeng were already fighting to the death, but even so, they still did not withstand the impact of the Sui army's iron cavalry.

"What about Li Shiji? What is he doing, order him to quickly lead the rear army to help! ”

Li Xiaogong suddenly turned around and yelled at several generals behind him.

A lieutenant general stepped forward cautiously and said: "Your Royal Highness, General Li said that our army's grain and grass baggage are in the rear army, although the Sui army in front of the attack is fierce, but they must also prevent them from laying out a surprise army to burn our army's baggage while our army is fighting with all its might. ”

"Confused, he Li Shiji actually made a mistake for me at this time!"

Li Xiaogong was furious when he heard this, and said: "In the country of Bashu Tianfu, the grain and grass hoarded in Chengdu are inexhaustible. As long as we can defeat this army and return to Chengdu, even if the Sui army burns all our grain and grass, why not? ”

The lieutenant still bowed his hand cautiously, and said: "Your Royal Highness, General Li has been stationed in the Kuimen area since he came to Bashu, and he has never been to Chengdu, and he may not know the stock of materials in Chengdu City. ”

Li Xiaogong was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that Li Shiji was ordered to come from Guanzhong, and he had never told him about the situation in Chengdu, but now he didn't have time to blame himself, and hurriedly ordered the deputy general: "You immediately go to the rear army to send an order to Li Shiji, ordering him to give up all his baggage and quickly speed the army to support me!" ”

"Yes!"

The lieutenant general also knew the seriousness of the situation, and after holding his fists and receiving the order, he hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, and hurried to the rear army to find Li Shiji, and explained the situation to Li Shiji and Li Xiaogong's order.

After listening to this, Li Shiji couldn't help but pat his forehead a few times, he was also poor, and when he followed Zhai Rang to gather in Wagangzhai in the early years, what worried them the most was the problem of food, which made him unconsciously develop the habit of grain and grass being greater than everything.

After a pause, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "I knew this was the case, why should I keep these things hard, quickly pass on the order, and the whole army will immediately follow me to support King Zhao (Li Xiaogong)." ”

"Brothers, something is wrong, the Sui army is here, hurry up and run for your life!"

At this moment, several defeated troops of the Tang Army suddenly rushed up from behind in embarrassment, panicked, and shouted from time to time. Li Shiji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly drank the people: "Where are you waiting for the soldiers and horses?" Why is it so embarrassing? ”

When the Tang army saw Li Shiji, they hurriedly turned over and fell off their horses, and greeted Li Shiji and said: "General, we are General Yun Tianbiao's troops, last night you just left not long after the Sui army attacked the city, the deputy general Tian Hu was greedy for life and afraid of death and opened the city gate to let the Sui army enter the city, General Yun died in battle, and the gate was lost!" ”

"What?"

Li Shiji was taken aback when he heard this, and a pair of eyes wanted to stare out: "You said that Kuimen has been lost, and Yun Tianbiao died in battle." Where are Li Jing's soldiers and horses now? ”

"Just behind us, there were tens of thousands of cavalry, and most of our brothers who escaped from the city were chased by the Sui army, and were either killed or captured. Only a few of us were lucky enough to grab a few horses and escape. ”

Before the words fell, the shouting of killing in the east suddenly rose, and countless cavalry trampled on the dust, like a tiger descending from the mountain, covering the Tang army's side, Su Dingfang, Jiang Song and Lu Junyi, the three fierce generals, all took the lead, flying over the war horses under their crotches and rushing over.

"Listen to the soldiers of the Tang Army, Kuimen has been captured by our army, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

When Li Shiji heard this, his face suddenly turned like earth, his arms trembled slightly, and his eyes were black and he almost fell off the horse. Xu Ning, the clan brother on the side, also changed his face greatly, and asked Li Shiji with a trembling voice: "Brother, we... How are we good now? ”

Li Shiji closed his eyes painfully, frowned, pondered for a long time before reopening his eyes, took a deep breath, as if he had made up a great determination, and said to Xu Ning word by word: "Immediately send the order, the whole army immediately abandon the baggage, and immediately break through to the north." ”

Xu Ning was shocked when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "Brother, isn't we abandoning His Royal Highness the County King when we go, and he will definitely die at that time!" ”

Li Shiji said in a gloomy voice: "I have no other way now, Li Jingyue Fei's two Sui army forces are far above our army, and the other party is still attacking from both sides, our army will definitely lose this battle, and we can't help Li Xiaogong if we stay here, so it's better to withdraw first and save some vitality to be involved in the future." ”

After Li Shiji finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, suddenly urged the war horse, and led his more than 10,000 troops to the north.
