Chapter 315: It's over, it's all over
Li Dongsheng suddenly remembered that Gao Yanshou's 100,000 reinforcements were still hanging far behind, and now that the Tang Army camp suddenly made such a big movement, how could he not come to make trouble with Gao Yanshou's ability? When the time comes, Yang Wanchun and Gao Yanshou in Anshi City will be attacked like this, and the whole army will be wiped out, and there will be no chance at all.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, his back was full of cold sweat, his worst estimate was that after capturing the entire Goguryeo, he would be dragged into the quagmire of war, and then fall into the vast sea of the people's war, and the Tang Dynasty would be dragged down no matter how strong it was, but this battalion was also touched by the Tang army once in a few decades, Li Dongsheng could only say that his luck was really bad, and now the worse thing is that there are still 100,000 Goguryeo troops in the back, and it is estimated that they have already got the news and are rushing here.
Li Dongsheng's prestige in the logistics camp was high, and after a word, everyone was dignified, returned to the logistics camp to pack up their things, gathered more than 4,000 panicked Tang Army soldiers, made up 10,000 cavalry, and then set off with them.
The head of the logistics battalion saw that Li Dongsheng was going to take so many people and supplies, so he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Master Hou, is it a taboo to pull the team out at this time?" ”
"The military situation is urgent, I really can't wait!" Li Dongsheng thought that the 100,000 army was desperately rushing forward to annihilate the Tang army in one fell swoop, and he was afraid: "I have already written the reason for this operation, you send someone to find Your Majesty, it will be too late if I don't leave." ”
After that, let the soldiers set off with torches. The night in ancient times is not the night with light pollution now, the commentary said that you can't see the five fingers, it is really not the five fingers, and the ancient people because they ate less meat, especially the East Asian people eat more rice, many people have night blindness, and they can't see anything when it's dark.
Generally, when it is dark, the army will not march. But now that the last moment is coming, Li Dongsheng can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor and fight hard. I don't care that my team will be exposed, but I just hope that the 100,000 army can be blocked for a day or two, give Li Ji, Zhang Jian and others time to rein in the defeated army, and at least ensure that Li Shimin can return to China safely.
The road of Goguryeo is not as wide as the official road of the Tang Dynasty, basically it is able to walk a car, and it is also rugged, when Li Dongsheng set off with the Tang army, he also made it very clear that this operation was voluntary, just to buy time for the Chinese army, there may be a fierce battle, and the timid should not go.
But he underestimated his reputation, these logistics soldiers had heard of his name, whether it was the battle of Puchanghai or the battle of Gaochang, they all won more with less and beheaded countless times. Everyone was in a heavy mood and didn't have the strength to shout slogans, just took the applied equipment and silently got on the horse, showing their support for him with actions.
Xue Rengui was not treated well in the Chinese army, and he was also sent to the rear army, and Li Dongsheng also knew him who was good at fighting, and directly handed over all the 10,000 people to him to take care of. Many people with qualifications and official positions above him did not even refute Li Dongsheng's face, so they acquiesced in his assignment.
Xue Rengui also did not live up to Li Dongsheng's expectations, the team of 10,000 people was well organized, the tasks were assigned in an orderly manner, and the army was already on the march, and all things were properly handled on the way.
Li Dongsheng frowned and rode beside Xue Rengui on horseback, racking his brains to think about how to stop the 100,000 army for three days, when he heard Xue Rengui say in a low voice: "Master Hou, you can do this badly." ”
Li Dongsheng was absent-minded: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”
"You are mobilizing the army without His Majesty's permission, this is a great crime of rebellion." Xue Rengui hadn't thought of it so far, but he was blown by the wind on the way to the march and came to his senses: "There is no holy decree to transfer troops, the most important thing is that 10,000 people will follow you like this, what will Your Majesty think if you know it?" ”
"I can't care about that much anymore." Li Dongsheng also knows that this is wrong, but what can he do? The black-lit blind fire army is so chaotic, where to find Li Shimin? If you can't find it, let the Tang soldiers run around, and then wipe out the whole army from both sides? The lives of hundreds of thousands of people, Li Dongsheng really can't ignore it.
"The key is that we have won this battle, maybe we will be taken down by the military law of the prison, and no emperor can tolerate the lack of a holy decree to lead the troops." The more Xue Rengui thinks about it now, the more scared he becomes, and he will be beheaded even if he desperately saves the driver, and such a stupid thing can only be done by this Hou Ye.
"What then? We watched 300,000 troops being killed? Your Majesty and all of us are buried in a foreign land? And then there was civil unrest, and the surrounding countries rebelled? Li Dongsheng sighed: "At that time, I advised Your Majesty to let him divide his troops to attack, don't put all his eggs in one basket, now it's okay, the basket is overturned, and it depends on us whether he can turn over." Don't think so far, think about how to block Gao Yanshou's 100,000 army first, and then talk about it when you have the life to come back. ”
Li Shimin gasped for breath in shock, ran around for most of the night, and finally stopped to rest, looking at the fire in the distance and the chaotic crowd, his tears flowed: "God don't bless me Datang, why did you suddenly roar!" ”
Wang De hurriedly helped Li Shimin to calm his breath behind his back, this master was old, and he couldn't breathe when he was excited: "Your Majesty, this is also an accident." Presumably now Li Shangshu and General Manager Zhang are gathering soldiers, and it will be good to wait for dawn. ”
Looking at the hundreds of kittens around him, thinking about the spectacular scene when the army marched, the contrast between the two is too great, and Li Shimin is sad: "My 300,000 troops in the Tang Dynasty were wiped out overnight, how can I explain to the people of the Tang Dynasty." Now that we have a strong city in front of us and a chasing army in the back, is it really that the heavens want to destroy my Tang Dynasty and prevent me from attacking Goguryeo? ”
When it came to this question, Wang Dengfeng's face changed greatly: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, there is still Gao Yanshou's 100,000 army behind our army, and now that there is such a big change, the enemy army will definitely speed up the march and flank us." ”
Li Shimin listened to his words, as if he was struck by lightning, his face turned white, and he covered his heart: "Is it really the sky that is going to kill me Li Shimin?" ”
Wang De hurriedly helped Li Shimin and comforted: "Your Majesty, things are not so bad, we still have the rear army guarding against Gao Yanshou's team!" As long as they hold steady, our army is not in danger. ”
"But there is no one in the rear army, and when the enemy army comes, how will those people in logistics deal with it?" Li Shimin still looked worried: "When the defenders in Anshi City face off against Gao Yanshou's army, there will be us who are roaring, where will we still have vitality?" It's all my fault, I didn't listen to Lantian Hou and their advice, at this time, I divided my troops to assault, and I left a little seed anyway! It's all over now! ”
