To the north of Pingyao, the 20,000 Shatuo cavalry that once came with murderous spirit are now only 8,000 people left, and most of them are demoralized, where is it like a Shatuo iron cavalry that crisscrosses the north.

The death of Gaiyu and the destruction of tens of thousands of elite cavalry made Li Keyong finally decide to give up and continue to attack Pingyao.

It's useless, they can't attack Pingyao City at all, even if the city wall of Pingyao is less than a zhang high, and it is still a rammed earth city wall.

The forbidden army around the little emperor used those weapons to turn the entire Pingyao into an impregnable fortress.

Unless he has tens of thousands of infantry by his side, he may be able to break through after paying a certain price.

However, he only had 20,000 cavalry around him, and he still did not count the power of those new weapons.

And on Li Sizhao's side, no one came back to report the news.

Two thousand people, facing thousands of soldiers of the Zuo Shence Army, holding on to the tattered Cold Spring Pass, the outcome is basically doomed.

More than half of the 20,000 elite cavalry were lost, and Rao is Li Ke has a great business, and he doesn't dare to take any more risks.

He had to leave a glimmer of hope for Sha Tuo, and he couldn't lose all of his elite here.

So much loss? Who is to blame?

Strange Gaiyu?

The other party's corpses are lying outside Pingyao City, and they can't even be saved, what's the use of blaming him?

If you want to blame him, Li Keyong is too greedy, too proud, and muttered to the little emperor.

Now it is estimated that he can only retreat to Taiyuan, and with the tall city wall of Taiyuan, he may be able to block the imperial army.

Suddenly, the Shatuo army, who was retreating north, suddenly felt that the ground under them was trembling violently, and the war horse began to be restless, constantly kicking the ground with their front hooves, and between their mouths and noses, white gas continued to rise.

Just when the faces of these Shatuo soldiers showed a suspicious look, a black line suddenly appeared in the sky, and as it got closer and closer, the black line turned into rows of cavalry.

Mountains and seas, landslides and ground cracks!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Stop them!"

Looking at the overwhelming cavalry, Li Keyong's face was pale, and he didn't have to think about it, this could not be his Shatuo army, only the forbidden cavalry that could save him.

If it had been before, he would naturally not have taken this point of forbidden cavalry into account.

But now it is different, most of the warriors under his command have lost their fighting spirit, and at this time they encountered a large number of forbidden cavalry, which inevitably led to a bloody battle.

If you fight, it's unpredictable!

But escape, that's impossible.

Rick's pride did not allow him to flee when confronted by enemy cavalry.

As a result, the 8,000 Shatuo cavalry soon began to line up, and after Li Keyong's order, they slaughtered the forbidden cavalry in front of them like a violent wind.

However, it is obvious that the current Shatuo cavalry does not have the indomitable momentum of the past, and the morale has just plummeted, and it has not recovered so quickly.

Many Shatuo cavalry are still immersed in the previous siege and can't extricate themselves for a long time!

The forbidden cavalry led by Liu Kui didn't know this, since he saw a group of Shatuo cavalry that was less than his side, how could he let it go.

And this Shatuo cavalry looks like it's a little demoralized.

Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.

A cavalry duel related to the battle situation in Hedong unfolded so coincidentally.

。。。。。。

"Weichen Liu Kui (Li Maozhen), it's too late to save the driver, please ask Your Majesty to surrender!"

Night was about to fall, and the rescue army led by Liu Kui and Li Maozhen also arrived in Pingyao.

Compared with the tired but neat appearance of the Left Shence Army, the cavalry of the Right Shence Army and the Left Tiance Army were full of murderous energy, and the armor on their bodies was covered with blood, obviously they had just experienced a tragic battle.

Li Ye did not respond to the two people's pleas.

At this time, he was standing quietly in front of an open field, and in front of him was a battlefield, densely packed with corpses, exactly two thousand.

These were the 2,000 cavalry of the Zuo Tiance Army who were responsible for blocking the Shatuo cavalry before, without exception, and they all died in this foreign land, just to buy time for their followers to retreat to Pingyao City.

When the Shatuo army retreated, the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion found this place.

At that time, the whole battlefield was silent, except for the ravens of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth lingering near the battlefield.

The 2,000 cavalry of Zuo Tiance's army were all killed in battle, none of them survived, and none of them fled.

Only the unfailing military flag stood in the center of the battlefield, and a general covered in blood held on to that banner until death.

His horse stayed beside his body, touching his master's body with his head from time to time, but his master, who was covered with arrows, could no longer stroke his head and feed him hay.

Seeing the military flag that had been standing in front of him, and looking at the two thousand soldiers who had died in battle, Li Ye took off the helmet on his head.

Zhang Wei next to him wanted to come over and take the helmet, but was blocked back by Li Ye.

In the end, Li Ye slowly knelt down in front of the military flag and the two thousand soldiers who died for him.

"Your Majesty...

Seeing that Li Ye, who was the king, suddenly knelt on the ground, the ministers and attendants next to him were startled and wanted to dissuade him.

"Get out!"

Li Ye roared.

was yelled at by Li Ye, and the people next to him were suddenly frightened. At this time, Li Ye's face was hideous, which made them all feel frightened.

Liu Kui, who was on the side, didn't say a word, but also took off his helmet, followed behind Li Ye, and knelt on the ground.

Starting with Liu Kui, the rest of the ministers, generals, close attendants, and ordinary soldiers all knelt down one after another.

Li Ye put his helmet on the ground next to him, kowtowed three times to the military flag and the remains of two thousand soldiers, and then got up and said.

This scene, in the eyes of others, especially those soldiers, was very shocking.

You must know that Li Ye is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven who is high above, but now he actually knelt down for the cavalry of the Zuo Tiance Army who died in battle for these two thousand, and it was in front of these tens of thousands of soldiers.

The shock this brought to them is not clear in words.

But there is one thing, for these soldiers who have witnessed this scene with their own eyes, even if Li Ye asks them to pick up a knife and send them to death, they will not hesitate to go.

With such a king, what else do they hesitate!

"You can rest assured, except for the bereavement that the court has given you.

Your parents, I will have people to support them until the end of their lives; Your children will be raised until they are 16 years old, and they can directly enter Chang'an Academy, Shannan Academy, and Wuxue.

I will set up a monument for you, and put it in the Taoist temple of Taiji Palace, you can go with peace of mind! ”

After saying this, Li Ye stood up directly, and those ministers and generals hurriedly followed.

"Liu Kui, did you encounter Li Keyong's rout?" Looking at Liu Kui's bloodstained armor, Li Ye asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Chen was incompetent, although he annihilated most of Shatuo's rout, but he still let Li Keyong run away, but Chen had already sent 5,000 cavalry to pursue. Liu Kui hurriedly said.

"Li Maozhen, what's going on on your side? Didn't you get the message that I asked the falcon to bring you? Li Ye's tone was a little cold.

Li Maozhen was taken aback, and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, there are two thousand Shatuo troops who raided Lengquan Pass yesterday evening, so it was delayed. The minister failed to come to the rescue in time, and I hope that Your Majesty will be punished! ”

"Two thousand Shatuo soldiers, guarding a cold spring pass that has become a ruin, blocking you all night? Let's not take it as an example, otherwise I wouldn't mind changing someone to take over the Zuo Shen Ce Army! ”

"Your Majesty Xie forgives the sins of the minister!"

Hearing that Li Ye did not pursue his intention of being late to save the driver, Li Maozhen breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her forehead, only to find that she was already sweating.

Li Ye put too much pressure on him, and he was sure that if he angered the other party at this time, the other party would really dare to kill people on the spot.

"That's right!" Before getting on the horse, Li Ye suddenly stopped, turned around and said to the people behind him, "Don't announce the fact that I am fine, especially in Chang'an, otherwise I don't mind letting people go to the funeral with these soldiers!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

The ministers and generals couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

If this news doesn't come out, it is estimated that you will have to fry the pot if you want to come to Chang'an.

Your Majesty is surrounded, it is estimated that there will be a lot of ghosts, snakes and gods in Chang'an, Your Majesty is in the next big game of chess!
