Chapter 524: Abandon the Pass and Flee (Third Update, Ask for Subscription)

The battle situation has completely fallen into passivity, and even Li Xiaogong does not feel that there is any possibility of a turnaround.

Rather than fighting to the death here, it is better to maintain a certain strength, stick to Luoyang City, and still be able to deal with the enemy for a while.

After thinking about it a lot, Li Xiaogong finally made a decision and ordered the army to retreat.

This choice, for Li Xiaogong, is understandable.

But Yin Kaishan, who came to support, was stunned when he heard this.

He sacrificed his life to lead troops to meet him, and Li Xiaogong actually ordered the troops to retreat and return to Luoyang, which was too fast to sell his teammates

Yin Kaishan frowned, and because of this short-term distraction, Lou Jicheng seized the opportunity, and attacked several waves one after another, so that he couldn't stop retreating, and he didn't have the strength to fight back at all.

At this moment, Li Xiaogong has chosen to run away, and Yin Kaishan will naturally not continue to work here.

In front of him, Lou Jicheng had already suppressed him to death, and Yin Kaishan didn't want to bury his life here.

But unlike Li Xiaogong, Yin Kaishan wanted to lead his troops to withdraw to Bishui Pass, and now that the enemy army was in a hurry, how could he run away with Li Xiaogong to Luoyang

But an unexpected situation happened to Yin Kaishan.

Li Shimin took Li Yuanba and Duan Zhixuan on the top of the Guan Tower, and their expressions were extremely solemn.

The enemy army is menacing, and it is completely a posture for a decisive battle, and they have no way to retreat at the moment.

If you want to retreat, you can only give up this crucial water pass.

This is a choice that Li Shimin does not want to make, and he will not make up his mind easily until the last moment.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the blood of the two sides had soaked the entire wall, if it weren't for Li Shimin's few people, the defenders would have retreated long ago, where could they resist

But even so, there is not much left of their remaining fighting spirit.

Relying on the excitement given by others is not lasting after all, and the weakness of the defenders is a shortcoming that cannot be changed.

The hard fighting of tens of thousands of troops could not stop the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands.

But the rout of the defenders really did not begin under the attack of the enemy army.

On the contrary, because of Li Xiaogong's reinforcements, under the impact of the Snapdragon Army, they finally chose to retreat to Luoyang City.

Li Xiaogong led his troops to retreat, causing the last bit of psychological defense of the defenders to collapse.

If they had reinforcements before, then they were completely isolated at the moment, how could they continue to fight

"Kill, break through the Bishui Pass."

"Rush, kill Li Tang's thieves."

The enemy's offensive was in a hurry, and the fighting spirit was like a rainbow, which was in stark contrast to the low morale of the defenders.

They all wondered why they were able to retreat when the reinforcements were able to retreat, but they had to fight so hard here, even to the point of losing their lives.

How can such differential treatment boost morale?

Li Shimin was also stunned when he saw this scene.

Li Xiaogong's reinforcements are not as good as not coming, and now he chooses to run away when he arrives at the pass, which directly brings him a wave of rhythm.

If the defenders have no will to fight, how can this water pass be defended

If there is no Bishui Pass, then there will be a smooth road ahead

Li Shimin fell silent, he was hesitating, but he knew very well that at this moment, he had to make a decision.

The enemy's offensive became more and more ferocious, but the defenders were disheartened and there was no longer any possibility of holding on.

"In that case, there is only a retreat."

Li Shimin said a little weakly.

Duan Zhixuan's expression was slightly awe-inspired, and he exclaimed: "We have already held on to this point, do we still have to give up the Bishui Pass?"

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, and said: "The enemy's momentum is like a rainbow, and we can't hold the Bishui Pass, if we continue to stay in the pass, it will be nothing more than becoming someone else's prisoner." ”

Duan Zhixuan was silent, his eyes swept around, and the answer he got was the same as Li Shimin, at this moment, there was no hope of holding on to Bishui Pass.

But he was not reconciled, they worked hard for so long, and they still ended up like this.

This is really a mockery, the situation has changed so much that Duan Zhixuan suddenly let out an inexplicable laugh.

I don't know why, in this laughter, there is a little pathos.

Li Shimin nodded, and said with a straight face: "General Duan, immediately dispatch soldiers and prepare to abandon Bishui Pass and retreat to Luoyang City." ”

After a short silence, Duan Zhixuan still chose reunification and said slightly:

"The Last Will Do Duty"

With Duan Zhixuan's answer, the matter became settled, except for some of the defenders who still stayed behind the wall, the rest of the soldiers and horses all gathered, and they were about to kill out of Bishui Pass and go to Luoyang City.

As Li Jing thought, if there was no Bishui Pass, Luoyang City would be their next checkpoint.

"Whew."

Li Shimin exhaled a breath of turbidity, as if he wanted to vomit out the unwillingness in his heart.

But he was well aware of his own situation, and it was the wisest principle to withdraw his troops.

Originally, they could continue to hold on to Bishui Pass, but now the situation is completely disrupted. There is not much difference between forcibly guarding the pass and sitting still, and Li Shimin doesn't want to let himself finish here.

As the door opened, Li Shimin led people to retreat.

Having lost most of its defenders, Bishui Pass was easily breached by the coalition forces.

When the anti-kings saw this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Cheng also smiled with relief, although he paid some price, he finally won the Bishui Pass.

Everything is on track, and the next plans can be rolled out one after another.

The coalition forces entered the Bishui Pass, which had been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, and changed hands again.

Li Shimin's abandonment and escape was not expected by Yin Kaishan.

Originally, he thought that Bishui Pass could continue to hold on, but before he could retreat to Guanzhong, Li Shimin had already led people to retreat.

"How can this be"

Yin Kaishan's face was full of disbelief, and he said in astonishment.

But at this moment, time is urgent, and he is no longer allowed to run up to ask Li Shimin.

Li Shimin led the troops to run, and all Yin Kaishan could do at the moment was to run away with him.

Pei Yuanqing and the other generals saw the defenders moving in a big way, and they were immediately overjoyed, they knew what this meant.

Luo Cheng's plan has been successful, and Bishui Pass has been breached.

No one will not know the truth of beating the water dogs, and Li Shimin's defeat and retreat at this moment is a good opportunity to pursue.

Yao Ping and others gathered the army and pursued Li Shimin and his party directly, looking unwilling to give up.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was also very annoyed, if it weren't for the Snapdragon Army, how could he have ended up in such a situation

Ordinary soldiers are naturally not the opponents of the Snapdragon Army, but Li Shimin has a killer feature.

His gaze swept coldly from the Snapdragon Army, and suddenly ordered Li Yuanba: "Yuanba, we have abandoned the pass, and the enemy army still dares to pursue it, you go and open the way to help our army break through." ”

Li Yuanba obeyed Li Shimin's words, and he was unequivocal at the moment, nodded and rushed straight forward.

Holding a pair of drum urn golden hammers in his hands, he swept all the way over, even the Snapdragon Army couldn't resist, and dozens of people were killed and injured in an instant.

Li Yuanba's terror, except for Luo Cheng, no one can stop it.

Seeing that Li Yuanba was so fierce, Yao Ping and the others looked solemn, knowing that they were invincible, so they had to lead their troops to retreat.

After repelling the Snapdragon Army, Li Shimin did not delay any longer, gathered Yin Kaishan's soldiers and horses, and went to Luoyang together.
