Chapter 576: The Great Chaos Will Begin
Seeing that the enemy who won by 'despicable' means, not only did he not feel the slightest shame, but he looked frank, and Wu Yunzhao's heart was full of hatred.
"Dian Wei, one day, you will die at my hands."
Wu Yunzhao shouted angrily, glanced at Dian Wei deeply, and then joined forces with Wu Tianci to break through.
Dian Wei just wanted to go in pursuit, but several hidden arrows were shot in the distance, Dian Wei hurriedly waved his halberd to block, although most of the arrows were knocked away, but his right shoulder was pierced by an arrow.
Dian Wei ignored the injury, directly pulled out the arrow, and scolded angrily: "Which bastard secretly hurts people with an arrow? ”
"The one who released the arrow, Xue Li and Xue Rengui are also."
Xue Rengui, who was a hundred meters away, drank coldly, and then continued to fire his bow and arrows to cover the retreat of the generals.
"Ding Dong, Xue Rengui's skill 'Arrow God' is activated, the force is instantly +6, the basic force is 103, the equipment is +2, the halberd god is +4, and the current force has risen to 115."
"General Dian, you are injured, and the task of chasing and killing the Han General will be handed over to ......"
Before Li Jin could finish speaking, his mount was hit by an arrow, and then the whole person was overturned to the ground, and Long and Yue Xi hurriedly stepped forward to help him block the rest of the arrows.
After Brother Wu broke through, when he passed by Xue Rengui's side, Wu Yunzhao thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you Brother Xue for your help." ”
"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Xue Rengui was indifferent, and then continued to shoot arrows with a bow.
Under Xue Rengui's arrows, the pursuing Ming generals were either forced to retreat, or they were suppressed and did not dare to raise their heads, so that the Han generals could easily escape.
Soon, the pot of arrows in his back had been shot, and Xue Rengui had no choice but to retreat when he saw this.
Although Xue Rengui failed to kill Long Ji in this battle, he also shot several generals, and several others were wounded by him, and this battle feat was already great enough.
After the meeting between the Han generals and the Flying Bear Army, they all tacitly chose to break the back, because only in this way can the damage be minimized, and when all the soldiers and horses were withdrawn from the pass, the broken Flying Bear Army began to retreat while fighting.
After Xiang Yu led the army to drive the Han army out of the pass, he chased ten miles before collecting the troops and returning, so that the second battle of Tiger Prison Pass finally came to an end.
——————
In the third year of Zhongping, in August, Qin Wen, Marquis of Jin, personally led the army to attack the Hetao.
Temujin, who was attacking Xianbei, urgently sent Jebe to lead the army back after receiving the news, and the two sides fought again at Hetao.
At the same time, Daming also made a big move in Sizhou and released 200,000 prisoners of war, and Xiang Yu, who had disappeared for a long time, finally appeared.
Under the leadership of Xiang Yu, the prisoner of war army broke through all the way and fled from Sizhou, while the elite of the 100,000 Han army led by Lu Zhi and Li Shimin were pressed to the death step by step.
After the Tiger Prison Pass, there was no danger to defend, so the prisoners of war had to wait for reinforcements.
On September 7, the Han army attacked and stormed the Tiger Prison Pass, and Zhang Liang led the army to fight to the death in the streets.
In the end, after Xiang Yu and Zhang Bao led the overlord to arrive, Emperor Zhang Sheng of the Ming Dynasty personally led 150,000 reinforcements to arrive.
After the Han and Ming sides fought a great battle in Guannei, Li Shimin, in order to prevent the death from being too great, ordered the whole army to withdraw from the Tiger Pass, so far 100,000 Yellow Turban prisoners of war were completely rescued.
Han army camp.
Li Shimin paced back and forth with a gloomy face, and all the Liangzhou generals below lowered their heads, and the atmosphere was unusually dull.
"Are the casualties counted?" Li Shimin asked with a solemn face.
In the previous battle, because Li Shimin saw that the opportunity was not good, he decisively ordered a retreat, and the Han and Ming sides were not completely defeated, so although the casualties were large, they were definitely still within the range of bearing.
It can be seen that Li Xiuning's face is very heavy, and Li Shimin knows that he may think too beautiful.
"Nearly 20,000 casualties, 10,000 killed in direct battle, the Flying Bear Army is now three out of ten......"
The 100,000 Han army lost 30,000 horses in the first battle, and even the most elite Flying Bear Army was disabled, which shows the tragedy of this battle.
Of course, if Li Shimin hadn't ordered a retreat in time, this casualty figure would definitely have been even greater, after all, the Ming army would definitely not retreat.
"What are the total casualties of the Sizhou army?"
Li Shimin asked again, all the generals present were Liangzhou generals, so he didn't have any scruples about speaking.
After hearing Li Shimin's question, the generals remembered that it was the Sizhou Army that served as the main force of the general offensive in that battle, and only the most elite Flying Bear Army participated in the battle in Liangzhou.
"The casualties of the Sizhou army exceeded 15,000 ......"
The generals of Liangzhou immediately lit up, and then they realized that the Liangzhou army was not the biggest loser, but became the real overlord of Sizhou because of a blessing in disguise.
Li Shimin also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the Liangzhou army did suffer heavy casualties in this battle, but he took the opportunity to further weaken Lu Zhi's strength, thereby consolidating the position of the Liangzhou army in Sizhou.
"This battle can be regarded as a gain and a loss, and my father-in-law shouldn't blame me too much, right?"
Li Shimin secretly said in his heart, and at the same time rejoiced in his pre-war caution, and it was really not a big mistake to be cautious.
"But what next?"
Although the Han army gave up the pursuit and withdrew from the Tiger Pass, it did not mean that the battle was over.
Before, whether to fight or not was all in Li Shimin's thoughts, but now the Han army is not able to fight, and it is even more impossible not to fight.
The 150,000 troops of the Ming army have already been stationed, and a forced attack will definitely cause heavy casualties, and it may not be defeated.
But if you don't fight, Tiger Prison Pass is the east gate of Sizhou, and the geographical location is very important, and it must not fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's a headache."
Li Shimin has now been forced into a situation where he cannot advance or retreat, and if he is not careful, his career may end here in the future, so he can't be careless.
Seeing his brother's troubled look, Li Xiuning hesitated for a while and then stood up and said: "Second brother, Xiuning has a plan, but he can let the Ming army withdraw from the Tiger Prison Pass without spending a single soldier." ”
Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "Xiuning, there is no joke in the army." ”
Li Xiuning immediately clenched his fists and said seriously: "The last general is willing to make a military order." ”
Of course, Li Shimin will not really let his sister make a military order.
"There's no need for a military order, just listen to it."
Li Xiuning glanced at the generals, and his meaning was naturally self-evident, Li Shimin had to wave his hand to signal the generals to go out, although the generals were very dissatisfied with this, but they did not dare to disobey Li Shimin.
"Let's talk about it now."
Li Shimin said helplessly, he didn't believe that Li Xiuning really had a way to let the Ming army withdraw from the Tiger Prison Pass without spending a single soldier, because it was basically impossible in the current situation.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Li Xiuning's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Second brother, have you noticed that Emperor Ming Zhang Sheng is a bit like my little sister and me." ”
"Yes, you're just as bold."
To be honest, Li Shimin admires Zhang Sheng very much in his heart, after all, as an emperor, he dares to go to the battlefield in person, and this courage is not possessed by ordinary people, and his sister is also bold.
Li Xiuning's face turned red and said loudly: "That's not it." ”
