Chapter 24
"Hit the mark!" Sang Xian's face was pale, and he was cold, like falling into an ice cellar. His mind went blank for a moment, as if it had suddenly stopped.
"Order the whole army to retreat and return to the city as soon as possible!" Although Sang Xian couldn't understand for a while how such a big wildfire could not burn the Tang army and stun the Tang army, as the commander of the Sui army, he instinctively felt that he had fallen into the trap of the Tang army, and now he had to quickly retreat back to the city to get out of danger.
When the Sui army encountered such a sudden attack, and heard the shouts of killing around it, knowing that it had been surrounded by the Tang army, and was ambushed by the Tang army, it was horrified in his heart, and the soul of the dead was in a big rage, and he had already lost his fighting spirit, and even before the general's retreat order was issued, he had already scattered and fled towards Daliang City.
In the face of such a rout, the Tang army easily harvested the lives of the Sui army in the rear, and shouted: "Those who lay down their arms will not be killed!" Seeing that they could not escape, many Sui troops threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees, and the Sui army was defeated.
Sang Xian and his entourage ran to the Daliang River in embarrassment, preparing to step on the pontoon bridge when they came back to Daliang City, now the moon in the sky has emerged from the dark clouds, with the silver moonlight, Sang Xian was horrified to find that the place where the pontoon bridge was originally erected on the Daliang River, not even the shadow of a pontoon bridge can not be found.
"Damn, it's really vicious, this is the bottom of the kettle! It seems that Li Shimin's entire activity today is to lure himself out of the city and cross the river, but unfortunately he still can't resist the temptation and fall for it. However, why can't these damn Tang soldiers burn to death? ”
The shouting of the Tang army came from behind, and the shouting of the Tang army from the east of the Daliang River was also heard. Because of going east, first, I heard that there was an ambush of the Tang army, and second, to the east was the Yellow River, which was wider and deeper than the Daliang River, and it was even more impossible to pass.
Some panicked Sui soldiers jumped into the Daliang River and wanted to swim to the opposite bank, but now it is autumn and winter, it is already cold, and the river water at night is even colder, and the Daliang River is still very wide and deep. The Sui army that was drowned in this way was at least a thousand people.
Sang Xian ran wildly all the way, and after running for a while, he turned around and saw that there were only more than 300 soldiers left around him, sighed, and continued to move forward silently.
Suddenly, a group of about 900 Tang cavalry rushed out in front, in the moonlight, the leader seemed to be a picturesque, pale little girl, holding a long lance to kill, Sang Xian was shocked, it seems that today Li Shimin carefully planned to kill himself, but he was a little petrified: "Li Shimin is really unavailable, how can you send a little girl to ambush me?" ”
The two guards around him rushed forward with a long lance in hand, but they didn't expect that as soon as they fought, the two guards were picked off the horse by the little girl, and they were shocked, it seemed that they had underestimated this little girl.
At this time, 900 Tang cavalry had surrounded them and fought them, and the more than 300 guards were outnumbered and soon killed. His heart was like a knife, but he had no power to return to the sky, so he could only continue to flee to Daliang Mountain with these few personal soldiers.
Suddenly, the sound of the bowstring behind him kept ringing, and the soldiers around him fell off the horse one by one, and he looked back, only to see that the little girl had come to chase them alone, and was chasing while shooting with a bow and arrow, and the archery was superb, every time the bowstring sounded, a personal soldier fell off the horse.
It seems that if you don't clean up this pestering stinky girl, you won't be able to escape. Sang Xian suddenly reined in the war horse and turned to face the little girl. At this time, there was no longer a guard by Sang Xian's side, but as a veteran of a hundred battles, he was not afraid of any opponent, not to mention a little-known little girl.
