Chapter 523: Retreat to Luoyang (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
The battle at Bishui Pass was extremely fierce, but in the end, it was the victory or defeat of Li Xiaogong's army and the Snapdragon army that ultimately determined its outcome.
Yin Kaishan led 20,000 horses to help, he knew his task very well, as long as he could take the reinforcements back to Bishui Pass, he would already be thankful, how to defeat the Snapdragon army.
The combat power of the Snapdragon Army is too rebellious, even if Yin Kaishan doesn't know the details about it, he has heard of his prestige.
There are clearly more than 100,000 reinforcements, but they are still not their opponents, and they are only 20,000 people, which is even more useless.
The Snapdragon Army is too tough in the field, and if you have to fight here, it will be a self-defeating battle.
Li Xiaogong led the army, and looking at the occupation that gradually fell into collapse, the whole person was not good.
Obviously, there are many people on his side, but the final result is what he didn't expect at all, Li Xiaogong was unwilling, because he didn't listen to Li Jing's words, and still led his troops to fight hard.
But the outcome of the battle did not change because of his persistence.
If you choose to die, you can only suffer losses in the end.
Seeing that Li Xiaogong was like a demon, Li Jing also felt very uncomfortable, according to his thoughts, since he couldn't fight now, he should lead his troops to avoid the edge for the time being, instead of dying here.
But Li Xiaogong is the main general, and although Li Jing was assigned by Li Yuan, he has no right to speak at this moment.
Li Jing sighed and quietly retreated, he didn't want to pay attention to Li Xiaogong anymore. Once the army is completely defeated, he runs away, the sky is big, and the small life is the greatest.
Don't revitalize the family, play yourself out first, this is not what Li Jing wants to see.
"There is a team of men and horses in front, this is the defenders of Guanzhong, haha, this battle can be won, and the brothers will fight back with Ben."
At this moment, Li Xiaogong suddenly saw a group of people killed from Bishui Pass, and suddenly showed surprise on his face and shouted loudly.
Li Jing was also a little stunned, looking at the army sent to meet them, his expression suddenly changed.
Li Jing suddenly understood the enemy's plan, this was to use them as bait to let the defenders of Guanzhong come to their aid, and then attack Bishui Pass with all his might.
Thinking about this, Li Jing smiled helplessly, rather than this, it was better for them to stay in Luoyang City.
Now not only has he not been supported to Bishui Pass, but he has become a burden, and he is really doing bad things with good intentions.
But from another point of view, it becomes their incompetence.
Because of the reinforcements, Li Xiaogong was a little excited, and his morale rebounded slightly.
But Li Jing thought about it, can these tens of thousands of reinforcements really change the situation
The Snapdragon Army is all cavalry, and its combat power is very terrifying, even if they give tens of thousands of people, it can only be a result in this field battle, and it will not help the final outcome at all.
But Li Jing can't say that Li Xiaogong has already come up, if he speaks out at this moment, he is afraid that he will be dumped by Li Xiaogong in the end, and this is not what Li Jing wants to see.
Although it is now the time to be young and vigorous, Li Jing has already begun to think about the way to protect himself.
The arrival of reinforcements from Bishui Pass, Yao Ping and others naturally saw it in their eyes.
But the task given to them by Luo was to delay the enemy's army, and if they could defeat it, it would be the best.
Since the defenders sent people to support, they naturally did not sit idly by.
Lou Jicheng understood, and immediately divided the 10,000 Snapdragon army, turned around and charged towards the reinforcements.
The rest of the Snapdragon army did not lose heart, and they charged away with more fighting spirit, tearing apart all obstacles in front of them.
Li Xiaogong's illusion of pinning his hopes on reinforcements was shattered, and the strong combat power of the Snapdragon Army was once again revealed.
Even if Yin Kaishan commanded 20,000 horses, he couldn't stop the footsteps of the 10,000 Snapdragon army, and could only retreat uncontrollably.
Even Yin Kaishan was suppressed under Lou Jicheng's spear, and he was powerless to fight back.
Originally, Yin Kaishan wanted to come to support Li Xiaogong, but at this moment he himself was in danger.
On the battlefield, the situation is changing.
Just when the reinforcements arrived, the morale of Li Xiaogong's army was boosted, but seeing the battle situation at this moment, they fell into despair again.
Even if tens of thousands of reinforcements came, it would only make the casualties worse, and it would not change the final result at all.
Pei Yuanqing was holding a pair of silver hammers, majestic as if a god descended from heaven, and went straight to Li Xiaogong.
The Snapdragon Army is like a rainbow, and Li Xiaogong's army is powerless to fight back.
Now Pei Yuanqing has set his sights on Li Xiaogong, and the situation is becoming more and more critical.
Li Xiaogong didn't know Pei Yuanqing originally, but after seeing Pei Yuanqing's double hammer, he knew his identity.
In this world, with double hammers, the strength is so strong, except for Pei Yuanqing, there is no one else.
"Pei Yuanqing is here, and the thief will die." Pei Yuanqing raised his arms and shouted, his voice was like thunder.
Fortunately, Li Xiaogong is not a general who charges into battle, he is not fighting in front of the army at the moment, otherwise he will be met by Pei Yuanqing, and the result will be directly given with a hammer, and the battle situation will really not be changed.
But even so, Pei Yuanqing is still killing at a very fast speed, and I am afraid that it will not take long for him to rush to Li Xiaogong, which is simply a life and death crisis.
At this time, Li Xiaogong finally began to panic, the previous anger was completely gone at the moment, and when he was in a life and death crisis, he finally knew the current situation.
"Pharmacist, the situation is not good now, what should I do?"
Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth, a little at a loss, and asked Li Jing.
Li Jing raised his eyebrows, the situation was not so tragic just now, so he reminded Li Xiaogong.
Now that the situation is so bad, Li Xiaogong asked him, which is really speechless
But no matter what, they are all in a group, and if Li Xiaogong is cold, then he is basically a dead end.
So Li Jing thought about it for a while, and said: "At this moment, it is difficult to hold on to the Bishui Pass, and the general still leads people back to Luoyang to guard the road to Chang'an, otherwise the result will be unpredictable."
Li Jing was a little helpless, now this situation was completely beyond his expectations, and it was not under his control at all.
Li Xiaogong was stunned when he heard this, he looked up at Bishui Pass not far away, the shouts of killing rose one after another, and the enemy army was actually tackling the key problems, he instantly understood, and he also knew his current situation.
Li Xiaogong felt a little funny, he originally thought that he could come to support Li Shimin, but he never thought that Li Shimin would send troops to help him, and even dragged the entire Bishui Pass into the water.
As Li Jing said, although the Bishui Pass is close at hand, the road is far away. If you want to break through the Snapdragon Army, it will be too difficult, and I am afraid that the Bishui Pass will be broken by then.
The best choice at this moment is to retreat to Luoyang City, if Bishui Pass can hold the natural best, if not, they still have a walled city that can be defended, and they will not be too passive.
Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth secretly, and finally nodded slightly, and shouted:
"Immediately withdraw the troops, return to Luoyang to hold on, and strictly guard against the thief army"
Seeing Li Xiaogong's words, Li Jing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this master general can be regarded as sober and did not continue to go up.
