Chapter 516 Chase

At night.

The soldiers and horses of the Han Kingdom really waited for the city gate to be opened, so that they could attack the city tower.

Cao Shen was also waiting.

But they waited left and right, and did not wait for the gates to be opened.

"What's the matter, thousands of soldiers, can't you open the city gate?"

Cao Shen was faintly a little nervous, and at this time, a torch suddenly lit up on the top of the city tower, and Cao Shen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Because at this time, all the people standing on the city tower were Tang Army.

"What's going on, what the hell is going on?"

Cao Shen roared angrily, and Jiang Xiaoyu on the city tower laughed: "Marshal Cao, your soldiers and horses have been killed, do you still have the strength to fight now?" ”

Hearing that all his soldiers and horses had been killed, Cao Shen suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

He knew that his people were afraid that they would be ambushed by the Tang army, so that the Tang army could destroy them without much effort.

"Abominable ......"

Cao Shen scolded, but now in this situation, they have no hope.

"Retreat."

There were only more than 10,000 Han soldiers left, and when these more than 10,000 Han soldiers retreated, they already seemed to be a little scattered.

Luo Cheng stood on the city tower, looking at these soldiers and horses, a little nervous.

"General Jiang, do you want to go out of the city to fight?"

Jiang Xiaoyu smiled: "Don't worry, let the soldiers have a good rest, and then it's not too late to pursue them." ”

They only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so they rushed out like this, and the chances of winning were not good.

If you want to improve your chances of winning, the best way is to wait.

In the past, it was not possible to wait, but now it is different.

The grain and grass of the Han Kingdom is not enough, even if the Han Kingdom does not rest tonight and escapes overnight, their food and grass will definitely not be enough, and within two days, the Han soldiers will be exhausted, and they will not even have the ability to fight.

Waiting for that time to fight with the Han soldiers is the safest way.

After listening to Jiang Xiaoyu's explanation, Luo Cheng nodded, he felt that although it would take longer, it would obviously have a better chance of winning.

After saying this, Tang Jun began to rest.

The soldiers of the Han Kingdom returned to the barracks.

"Marshal, what now?"

The soldiers all set their eyes on Cao Shen, and Cao Shen said: "Now that our army is short of food and grass, it is better to leave as soon as possible, so as not to have other intentions of the Tang army." ”

There was not enough food and grass, the battle could not continue, they had to leave, and the sooner the better.

Otherwise, when they run out of food and grass, and the Tang army takes the opportunity to fight them again, will they still have the ability to fight?

Even, in Cao Shen's opinion, after they left, the Tang army would pursue them, so they could only speed up, as long as they were not caught up by the Tang army, they would have a chance.

The other soldiers of the Han Kingdom also lost their fighting spirit and wanted to leave for a long time, although they were very tired, but after hearing Cao Shen's order to leave, they still couldn't help but be excited.

Leave, there are no more objections.

So after this decision, the Han army pulled out the camp and retreated overnight.

Under the autumn night, the Han soldiers left like lost dogs.

And it was only the morning after the Han soldiers left that the Tang army finally began their pursuit.

---------------------

The autumn winds are raging, and the weather seems to be getting colder.

The Han soldiers kept fleeing.

But after a day, they had no food or grass.

The soldiers began to complain, they couldn't eat, who would give them their lives?

"Marshal, how good is this, the soldiers are only afraid that they are going to mutiny."

Cao Shen's face was ugly, there was no food and grass, it was really difficult to move an inch, and there was nothing around that could make them last for a few days, because the surroundings were very empty, and even almost no one could find them.

"Kill the horse."

They had more than 10,000 soldiers, almost 5,000 horses, and killing a thousand horses was enough for them to eat for two days.

It's just that after hearing about the killing of horses, the hearts of the generals suddenly dripped blood, they love horses, and besides, without horses, their speed will be much slower.

"Marshal, really kill horses?"

"Kill the horse."

Cao Shen did not hesitate at all.

The soldiers had no choice but to kill the horses.

The Han army killed the horses and fled at the same time, but the more they killed the horses, the slower they went, and four days later, they were once again faced with no food, and the Tang army had already caught up behind.

Cao Shen's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he shouted: "After leaving five thousand soldiers and horses, the rest will leave with me." ”

Now, if they leave a war, they may be wiped out, so they can only find someone to break them off.

The combat effectiveness of the Tang army is definitely stronger than theirs, and if they do not have an advantage in numbers, they can only break their arms to save their lives.

Five thousand Han soldiers were left behind, and Cao Shen left with the rest.

Soon, Luo Cheng's soldiers and horses met the remaining Han soldiers and horses.

Seeing that Cao Shen actually abandoned 5,000 soldiers and horses and fled for his own life, Luo Cheng smiled wordlessly.

"It seems that I still think highly of Cao Shen, such a person is not worthy of leading the army."

Luo Cheng's words were very loud, and after those Han soldiers and horses heard this, they were also very unhappy, they were not stupid, they naturally knew what was going on, they became Cao Shen's outcasts.

As outcasts, their consequence may be death.

Luo Cheng looked at those Han soldiers and said coldly: "Cao Shen has abandoned you, but I, the Tang Kingdom, are tolerant of all rivers and willing to surrender, and my Tang Kingdom is not to blame in the past, otherwise, under my Tang knife, there is no one alive." ”

As he spoke, Luo Cheng looked at them, pointed a spear at them and said, "To descend or not to descend?" ”

Surrender is indeed alive, those Han soldiers hesitated.

However, they are the soldiers of the Han Kingdom, and they still have their families in the Han Kingdom, and if they surrender, their families may not survive.

Therefore, just after Luo Cheng asked, some soldiers of the Han Kingdom suddenly killed them.

"Killing ......" people live in this world, many times they can't only think about themselves, they also have to think about their families, so even if they sacrifice their lives, what is it?

The Han soldiers desperately rushed to kill.

This was something Luo Cheng didn't expect, but then, Luo Cheng killed him with a spear.

"Kill ......"

The Tang army rushed to kill, their force turned out, their weapons were sharp, and they still had a five-hundred-man Mo Dao team.

After the war between the two countries, those Han soldiers soon showed a rout.

"Kill ......"

The Tang army shouted again, and the war only lasted for half of the envoys, and the soldiers and horses of the Han State were completely defeated.

Moreover, after the defeat of the Han army, the Tang army soon began to harvest, and since they refused to surrender, they could only die.

For his enemies, Luo Cheng will never be merciful.
