Chapter 521: Sending Troops to Support (Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Looking at the army that was gradually falling into chaos, Li Xiaogong's mood also became anxious.
"How can this Snapdragon Army be so terrifying, it has no fear when it enters the army of ten thousand, and its formation is still the same after the charge, it is simply not human" Li Xiaogong twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a low voice.
Li Jing's expression was ugly, he didn't expect this kind of accident to happen, and the appearance of the Snapdragon Army completely disrupted their layout.
After a little consideration, Li Jing said in a deep voice: "The enemy army is taking the opportunity to ambush here, wanting to lure out the defenders of Bishui Pass, if our army is defeated here, I am afraid that Bishui Pass will also be lost." ”
Although the situation was not good at the moment, Li Jing still guessed Luo Cheng's thoughts, and reminded in a solemn tone.
When Li Xiaogong heard this, he suddenly couldn't hold back, they are 150,000 troops, and it is difficult to defeat 50,000 enemy troops in the field at this moment, if this news spreads, I am afraid that he will lose face.
Especially the ambush of Fang Cai, the enemy did not think about hiding the surprise attack at all, basically after they arrived, they came out to fight and charge, in this case, their own side was still defeated, Li Xiaogong was a little difficult to accept.
So Li Xiaogong took a deep breath and shouted: "The front army is arrayed to meet the enemy, and the rear army is surrounded by the left and right, and the thief army must be wiped out here, and when this battle is over, there will be a heavy reward."
When he said this, Li Xiaogong was already gritting his teeth, even if he knew that his situation was indeed not good, but it was still a little difficult to accept that he wanted him to lead the troops to retreat straightforwardly.
Li Xiaogong's words suddenly made Li Jing frown, now that his side is at a disadvantage, if he continues to fight, I am afraid that the casualties will be even worse, so it is unwise to make such a decision.
Li Jing glanced at Li Xiaogong, hesitated for a moment, and decided to persuade him. Li Xiaogong can give an order, but he must do his duty and make what needs to be said clear.
"Now that the enemy army is strong, the general must not fight to the death here, but should gather the army in time and make a decision, otherwise our army will suffer heavy losses. Please also ask the general to think twice. Li Jing Zhengse said.
The embarrassing situation in this battle was not only uncomfortable for Li Xiaogong, but also for Li Jing to feel aggrieved. After all, he wanted to use this to make a career and restore his family's glory.
But this has just come out, and it is a bit too much to be frustrated like this.
Li Xiaogong heard Li Jing's words, and immediately fell silent, but he had made up his mind, even if he wanted to retreat, it was not at this moment.
I saw Li Xiaogong say in a deep voice: "Now is not the opportunity to retreat, when our army stabilizes the situation, it may not be without the strength to fight." ”
Li Jing secretly complained in his heart, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the current situation. Although the Snapdragon Army has few people, it has already occupied the absolute upper hand, sweeping all the way, and it can be called no one.
On the other hand, his own army has been killed by the Snapdragon Army for several waves, and it has fallen into chaos. Not to mention fighting with the Snapdragon Army, even if it is to be stabilized, it will take a lot of effort.
Li Jing can understand that the field battle of the Snapdragon Army is too terrifying, if there is no city fortifications to help, if you have to fight with the Snapdragon Army, no matter how many people there are, you will be killing yourself.
If there is really an army of millions, if you can still be afraid of death, you may be able to consume the Snapdragon army. But at this moment, they are only 150,000 people, and they are all killed in a panic, how can they resist
The strength of the Snapdragon Army is not only that they are fearless in attacking and fighting, but also that their own strength is not weak at all, completely crushing the armies of all parties, which is simply a world of difference.
Li Jing didn't know how the Snapdragon Army was trained, but he was very aware of the fact that if he continued to fight like this, he would kill himself, and Li Jing didn't want to die yet.
It's not because of how afraid Li Jing is of death, it's just that people are unwilling before they achieve their goals.
But the actual situation is that Li Xiaogong is the commander of the First Army, and Li Jing cannot change what he decided at this moment.
Li Xiaogong still insisted and gave an order to the army, wanting to save the declining situation, but the Snapdragon Army has always been unforgiving, and at this moment they take the initiative, how can they give the enemy a chance to turn the tables.
Once the formation of the army was killed, the entire army was in a crumble and could no longer fight. Forcibly supporting at this moment is just a self-defeating way.
But this kind of situation is exactly what Luo Cheng wants to see.
The Snapdragon Army ambushed the reinforcements, how fierce the battle was, and the shouting of killing sounded, even in the Bishui Pass, it could be heard clearly.
"What the hell is going on outside"
Duan Zhixuan frowned and looked at the battlefield that had fallen into chaos.
Li Shimin reacted, he said in a deep voice: "I can't imagine that the enemy army actually sent troops to sneak to Bishui Pass and ambush the reinforcements sent by my father, now this is the situation."
Looking at the fierce battle situation, Li Shimin was silent for a while, he could naturally see that the reinforcements sent by Li Yuan had fallen into complete passivity at this moment, and he was afraid that he would be defeated
The reinforcements were obviously outnumbered, but they were still declining, Li Shimin's face was slightly pale, and he could roughly guess that the tens of thousands of enemy troops were probably Luo Cheng's big killer Snapdragon Army
The battle situation is not optimistic, Yin Kaishan looked very anxious, and asked Li Shimin: "Second son, the reinforcements are in ambush, and it is difficult to resist at this moment, if we don't send troops to support, I'm afraid it will be defeated." ”
Although Li Xiaogong's reinforcements have not yet entered the customs, the two sides are already in a relationship of both glory and loss.
If the reinforcements are defeated, Bishui Pass will fall into an isolated and helpless situation, and when the time comes, Luo Cheng will send a large army to attack the fortifications, even if there is Li Yuanba in the pass, it will be impossible to stop the enemy's attack wave after wave.
Li Yuanba is just one person after all, he can stop a certain piece of the wall, but it is impossible to wipe out all the enemy troops on the entire wall, and after the army retreats, relying on Li Yuanba will not be able to turn the tables.
After all, among the enemy army, there are not no masters who oppose them.
If it weren't for Luo Cheng's existence, Li Shimin would have led people to take the initiative a long time ago.
Hearing Yin Kaishan's words, Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and he hesitated and said: "I'm afraid this is a conspiracy of the enemy, if we send troops to support, I'm afraid the enemy army will attack Bishui Pass." ”
Yin Kaishan said loudly: "If we stick to the checkpoint and don't send people to support, I'm afraid that all the soldiers will be disdainful when they hear the name of us." ”
Li Shimin was silent, he understood what Yin Kaishan meant, if they sat back and watched the defeat of the reinforcements, I was afraid that their reputation would be ruined, but if they really sent people down to support, the situation would be completely out of control.
Li Shimin fell into hesitation, and Duan Zhixuan and Yin Kaishan, the second general, stopped talking.
After consideration, Li Shimin finally said helplessly: "Okay, General Yin will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to support, and Shimin and General Duan will continue to lead troops to hold Bishui Pass." ”
Li Shimin can only pray at the moment, hoping that there will not be too much change.
