At this time, Li Sigong's eyes were split, he really didn't expect Li Keyong to ignore the imperial army, but personally lead the army to deal with him.

But it was useless to regret it now, because his party warriors were being slaughtered by the Shatuos.

Although the Dangxiang clan is vertical and horizontal Lingwu and Xia Sui, after all, in this troubled era of the Tang Dynasty, there are still some things that cannot be put on the table, at least the Dangxiang cavalry is not as good as the Shatuo cavalry.

Li Sigong looked at everything in front of him with a painful expression, his warriors were constantly falling, these were the most elite warriors under him, otherwise they would not have come to Hedong with him.

He knew the strength of the Shatuo cavalry, so the elite poured out, but he didn't expect that in the end, it proved the strength of the Shatuo cavalry, at least the party cavalry is not the opponent of the Shatuo cavalry at present.

More and more Shatuo cavalry appeared on the battlefield, and it was clear that everything before was a conspiracy of the Shatuo people.

deliberately made him think that there were only a few thousand remnants in the city, let him relax his vigilance, and then kill himself by surprise.

"Withdraw... Remove...! ”

Li Sigong roared at the top of his throat.

Over there, Han Li was also ordering a retreat, but it was too late to retreat at this time, they were not facing infantry, but the elite Shatuo cavalry, and Li Ke used the starting troops to dominate the world.

To retreat at this time is to be slaughtered.

If Li Sigong is bloody and courageous, he can fight to the death with the Shatuo army to the end, even if he is inevitably defeated in the end, the 20,000 Shatuo army will also suffer heavy losses.

But Li Sigong didn't dare, all he brought was his elite, if all of them were lost here, his position as the envoy of Xia Suijie would not be stable at all, and it would be difficult for him to realize his idea of unifying all party departments.

And he is a feudal town, and it is impossible for him to fight all the troops under his command for the sake of the imperial court.

。。。。。。

"When the whole army attacks, it is necessary to inflict heavy losses on the party members. Give them a profound lesson and let them know who is the master of the steppe. ”

It is not the first time that the party has been defeated by the Shatuo people, in Shayuan a few years ago, although the party members were not the protagonists, they still suffered losses under the Shatuo people.

In Li Keyong's view, the party members just haven't tasted a profound lesson, and this time, he will break the backbone of the party members.

Let the party members be frightened when they hear the Shatuo cavalry in the future.

As Li Keyong gave the order to pursue, the Shatuo cavalry shouted and launched a pursuit of the Dangxiang cavalry.

At this time, the Dingyan Army and the Lingwu Army were in a panic, although Li Sigong gave the order to retreat, but the order could not be conveyed to the entire army at all.

Some people were given the order to retreat, while others were still fighting bloody battles with the Shatuo people, and the whole formation was in chaos.

If it weren't for Li Sigong's retreat order, maybe it wouldn't be so chaotic, but everything would be irreparable.

The brave Shatuo cavalry unscrupulously pursued and killed the coalition troops who had lost their fighting spirit, like pigs and sheep, mercilessly slaughtered by the Shatuo people.

On the mountain road, beside the river, the Dingyan army and the Lingwu army fled in confusion, screaming, but no matter how they shouted, the Shatuo people responded by raising their bloody knives and spears and stabbing them into one body after another.

Blood was everywhere on the ground, flowing into the river, staining the whole river red, and the roads were lined with mutilated bodies.

At a glance, the snowflakes on the earth are like a hell.

On the east bank of the Yellow River, Li Sigong on horseback looked at the few subordinates around him, and suddenly his throat was hot, his eyes were black, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

He knew that this time he was really defeated, 20,000 troops, and the 7,000 infantry were absolutely finished. In front of the Shatuo cavalry, the infantry was the target, and they had no power to fight back.

It may be that the cavalry can escape partially, but after losing 20,000 elites and returning to Xiazhou, can they still control the entire Xiasui?

Thinking of the party, thinking of the Tuoba clan, and thinking that the plan for the revival of the Pingxia tribe might be destroyed in his own hands, he regretted it, why should he respond to the edict? Why not be careful?

In the steppe, there is no mercy to speak of.

Of the 20,000 troops, more than 10,000 people are all warriors of the Pingxia Division, and there are not many armored people in the Pingxia Division.

The other tribes of the party, as well as the surrounding Uighurs, Dada, Tuyuhun, Shatuo, and other tribes, will not let go of this opportunity.

Without so many warriors, the Pingxia tribe will become extremely weak in the future, and become a delicious meal for other tribes, and there will be a struggle for each other on the grassland because of the decline of the Pingxia tribe, and all the wealth of the Pingxia tribe will be divided, women will be enslaved, and children will be killed.

Moreover, the Tang generals under their jurisdiction will also take the opportunity to seize power, and the entire Dingyan army may change hands at that time.

And he will become a sinner in the Pingxia Department of the Party Xiang!

"Jieshuai, are you alright?"

"Jie Shuai, we cover your crossing of the river, the Shatuo people are coming!"

Seeing Li Sigong suddenly vomiting blood, the surrounding soldiers were startled and hurriedly surrounded him.

The road in the mountains is not easy to walk, and there are many people who stay behind, and it will take a while for the Shatuo people to chase after them.

If they don't cross the Yellow River before the Shatuo people chase after them, then the Yellow River will become their burial place.

Although he was defeated this time, Li Sigong was still the leader of the Pingxia Department and the envoy of the Xia Sui Festival.

Looking at the surrounding soldiers who were desperately covering his breakthrough, Li Sigong felt heavy, looked at the direction of Shizhou, looked up to the sky and howled, and then made up his mind.

"Withdraw!"

After Li Sigong finished speaking, he looked at the pontoon bridge in front of him, his heart was dripping blood, and finally he gritted his teeth and crossed the Yellow River.

Behind him, more than 1,000 cavalry stepped on the pontoon bridge one after another, followed it to the west bank of the Yellow River, and then destroyed the pontoon bridge.

As for the rest of the army and the Lingwu army, that's not their concern...

。。。。。。

Li Keyong personally led the army to chase to the Yellow River, and when he saw the destroyed pontoon bridge, he could only look at the river and sigh, but he still failed to leave Li Sigong.

However, in this battle, the Shatuo army won a complete victory, killing more than 20,000 people from the Dingyan army and the Lingwu army, although thousands of people still fled, but they were no longer able to threaten Hedong.

It is believed that after this war, the party members will not dare to step into Hedong for several years.

As for the routed soldiers who fled, Li Keyong didn't have time to pursue them, and he was already very satisfied with such a result.

His enemies were not party members, but the imperial army.

Thinking of the scene of the imperial army's head breaking through the blood flow in the Yin Di Pass, Li Keyong couldn't help laughing.

When Li Keyong withdrew to Shizhou with a large army, the defenders of Shizhou quickly opened the city gates.

When he came to the city gate and saw Zhou Dewei with a somewhat pale face, Li Keyong was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" Are you hurt? ”

Zhou Dewei shook his head, looked at the people around him, and said in a low voice, "King Jun, please follow the last general to the Assassin's Mansion." ”

Enduring his curiosity, Li Keyong came to the Assassin's Mansion, who knew that Zhou Dewei directly retreated from the others.

"King of the county, something is wrong. The imperial army broke through the Yin Di Pass three days ago, and is attacking the Cold Spring Pass in a big way, and the Cold Spring Pass is in danger.

News came from Zhaoyi's side, Sun Kui led the Right Shenwu Army and the Left Shenwei Army to break through Luzhou City, Kang Junli's troops were defeated and retreated, and Li Cunju was killed in battle. ”

Zhou Dewei was pale and looked a little panicked, but it was impossible for him to hide this matter from Li Keyong.

"What?"

Hearing the news, Li Keyong's eyes suddenly went black and he almost fell to the ground. What is the meaning of great joy and great sorrow, this is.

He had just defeated the 30,000 armies of Dingyan and Lingwu, and before he could be happy, the imperial court began to threaten his lair.

Li Keyong hurriedly asked, "How is it possible?" The terrain of the Yin Pass is dangerous, and the Cold Spring Pass is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, how could the Yin Pass be broken so quickly.

There is also Kang Junli, he still has more than 10,000 troops in his hands, even if he is defeated by the forbidden army, he can stick to Luzhou City and drag the forbidden army outside the city. Why abandon the city and flee? Why did Cunju die in battle? ”
