Chapter 327: Defeat of Shallow Water Plain
Liu Wenjing smiled, threw his clothes on the ground, and continued to stick to Li Shimin's instructions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But Li Yuanba couldn't bear it anymore, he was already like a fire, and his eyes were red for Li Shimin's body in the past ten days. heard that Xue Renguo sent a woman's clothes to humiliate the second brother, so he stopped doing it at that time; rushed out with a roar, and gathered the Xuanjia army to go out of the city to fight.
When I arrived at the gate of Gaoqi City, I met Yin Kaishan guarding; This Yin Kaishan saw Li Yuanba rushing over violently, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Zhao Guogong, what are you doing with the army?"
Li Yuanba shouted angrily: "Knock, hit the city gate and open it." That, that Western Qin Wang Ba, unexpectedly, dared to use women's things, insulting the second and second brothers! I, I'm going to stone them all, all to death. ”
Although Yin Kaishan is almost fifty years old, he is also a short-tempered general, and he has long persuaded Liu Wenjing to send troops and said: "The King of Qin is worried that you have no chance of winning, so he confessed like this. But if the old thief Xue Ju knew that King Qin was sick, he would definitely despise us and others, so he took the opportunity to attack to threaten him. But Liu Wenjing refused.
Now I heard that Li Yuanba was going to fight, and he could still endure it, so he ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and gather Liu Hongji, Qiu Xinggong, Li Anyuan, Murong Luohu, Dou Rail, Lin Xingcang, and Tang Jian; A total of 8 governors led 40,000 troops into battle.
As soon as Xue Ju saw the enemy out of the city, he hurriedly ordered Xue Rengao to meet him. Xue Rengao ran into Li Yuanba's Xuanjia Army head-on. This time, the Xuanjia Army met the Ironclad Army, and the first heavy cavalry launched a life-and-death struggle.
In the end, although Xue Ju's ironclad army was superior in numbers, its equipment and ability were slightly inferior, and no one could stop Li Yuanba, a big worm, so he had to flee to the northwest. Li Yuanba did not doubt that he was only chasing after him.
Yin Kaishan and the other eight commanders of the Tang Dynasty were afraid that Li Yuanba would lose, so they hurriedly led the army to follow.
Xue Rengao led Li Yuanba and others all the way to the shallow water plain northwest of Gaoqi City; This is the appearance of a wetland, and Li Yuanba's Xuanjia army fell into it at once. At this time, there were shouts of killing around, and Xue Ju led the army to kill in all directions.
Yin Kaishan and others hurriedly rushed up to rescue; Xue Ju let the elite soldiers of the Turkic Tiger Division attack behind, and the Tang army was killed at that time.
At this time, Liu Wenjing, who was in Gaoqi City, had also received a report, and he was scared at that time, and hurried to report to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin is just a little better, and he is resting with his eyes closed; Suddenly I heard someone arguing outside; Hurriedly asked people to lure Liu Wenjing in.
Liu Wenjing rushed into the house in three steps and two steps and shouted: "Qin Guogong, the big thing is not good, the eight chief managers and Zhao Guogong went out to fight Xue Ju!" ”
Li Shimin was so frightened that he was sweating all over, and even the high fever on his body had subsided. His first instinct was to call people back quickly. Immediately, Li Shimin realized that it must be too late to go now, and he could only increase the chaos!
"Go, open the gates! Come with me to the city. Li Shimin felt a lot happier on his body, and quickly put on his clothes and armor and led a few sergeants to the tower of Gaoqian City.
Xue Ju was responsible for luring the army attacking Li Shimin, but Liu Min, Li Liang's general, was responsible for leading the 10,000 horses of his headquarters to take Gaojaw City.
Liu Min got the report and came to the city without saying a word, but he saw the gate of Gaojiao City open, and Li Shimin took Liu Wenjing to point at the head of the city, and behind them there was a faint flash of knife light, and the flag horn that was swept up by the wind was fluttering.
This Liu Min is as suspicious as Li Rail, he knows that there is a dirty relationship between Li Rail and Xue Ju, for fear that he will accidentally fall into Xue Ju's plan to kill people with a knife, so he hesitates and doesn't know whether to attack.
Li Shimin laughed and said: "Liu Min, as a general, it's okay to hesitate, my father is here, and if you don't join the army, when will you stay?" ”
"Li Shimin? He is Li Shimin! Isn't Li Shimin sick? He, let's stand here? Liu Min's thoughts flew in his heart, and finally snorted coldly: "Hmph! Li Shimin, I know that you have ambush soldiers, and you have no intention of deceiving me; I just won't go in! I'm still gone! Let you play a scene with Xue Jubai! ”
Saying that, Liu Min waved the flag, looked at the 10,000 army and turned his head to leave, and did not return to the barracks, but went straight to Xiqian City to complain to Li Liang.
Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing in the city were already soaking wet on their backs, and Liu Wenjing was even more pale and trembling, almost not sitting on the ground.
Li Shimin knew that Gaoqi City could not be defended, so he hurriedly explained two sentences, and then led the army to withdraw from Gaoqi City and go straight to Guanzhong.
Li Yuanba and others were surrounded by enemies on all sides in the shallow water plain, and they didn't know how many enemies had come, and they killed batch after batch; His Xuanjia army was trapped in the swamp and lost the ability to maneuver, and it was completely a meat target, and it didn't take long to lose half of it.
It was Liu Hongji who led Murong Luohu and Li Anyuan to rush up, and finally broke up the encirclement and rescued them from the swamp.
"Zhao Guogong! It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and hurry up and lead the army to rush out! Liu Hongji yelled and let Li Yuanba go first, while the three of them blocked the pursuers behind.
Li Yuanba knew that he couldn't help if he stayed, so he had to lead people to rush longing; Along the way, they rescued Tang Jian, Dou Rail, and Lin Xingcan, who were besieged, and after breaking out of the encirclement, they met Yin Kaishan and Qiu Xinggong who were killed.
If you want to go back to save Liu Hongji and the others, the enemy's team has already killed them from all directions; The shadows of the three can still be seen somewhere.
Yin Kaishan hurriedly persuaded Li Yuanba, who was still going to rush to kill, and told him that it was important to go back to Gaoqi City to protect Li Shimin. Li Yuanba suddenly woke up and hurriedly led the army to Gaojaw City to kill.
Xue Ju was scolded by Liu Min for saying goodbye, and hurriedly dispatched 10,000 troops to capture Gaoqi City; As a result, Gaoqian City was captured, but Li Shimin had disappeared without a trace.
Soon after they captured Gaoqi City, Li Yuanba and others killed them back, only to find that the gate of Gaoqi City was closed, and the city had become the banner of the enemy.
"Oops! It's all me who harmed my second brother! Li Yuanba was crying loudly on his horse; Yin Kaishan and the others also didn't pay attention for a while, and now they don't even have siege equipment, and they can't do it if they want to attack Gaojaw City.
When they were grieving, a detailed work arranged by Li Shimin ran over to report that they had successfully escaped from danger, and asked everyone to evacuate to Huishan to reunite. When everyone heard this, they were pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly bypassed Gaoqi City and went straight back to the mountain.
Li Shimin and others gathered in Huishan, and almost all of them again, and less than 20,000 of the more than 40,000 troops returned; Moreover, Liu Hongji, Murong Luoyu, and Li Anyuan are also missing; Obviously, there is more luck than luck.
Liu Hongji was one of the first few people to follow Li Shimin, and the two were like-minded at the beginning, almost eating at the same table and sleeping together. The loss of Liu Hongji this time made him cry bitterly.
Li Yuanba and Yin Kaishan knelt on the ground and asked him to punish him, Li Shimin helped the two of them up and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, Yuanba, you must take caution when you open the mountain." I've sent someone to inquire about Hongji's whereabouts, and it's not necessarily bad news. Let's go back to Chang'an first, move reinforcements and then avenge today's revenge. ”
The Chinese agreed, and then marched like Chang'an with the remnants of the defeated army.
Although Xue Ju did not catch Li Shimin, after all, he got Gaojaw City, so Zhang Changxun of Zhanji City became a lone soldier in the first brigade, which was not enough to rely on.
Sure enough, after Xue Ju entered the city lord's mansion in Gaoqian City, he heard that Zhang Changxun's troops in Xiqian City had broken through. Li Liang and others desperately intercepted and killed, the Tang army was almost completely annihilated, and Zhang Changxun fled with only a dozen people.
Xue Ju was overjoyed and took these two cities, even if the passage in Guanzhong was opened, his mastermind Hao Ying suggested: "Now that the Tang soldiers have just been broken, many soldiers have been captured, and the people's hearts are shaken, you can send a general to take Chang'an by victory; You'll get it! ”
Xue Ju was overjoyed when he heard this, and he prepared to let Xue Renguo lead the iron cavalry to raid Chang'an for thousands of miles, and take Li Tang's capital with lightning speed. Xue Renguo was also thinking about the wealth of Chang'an in his heart, his eyes were shining fiercely, and he immediately said goodbye to Xue Ju and set off with others. Xue Ju laughed in high spirits, and ordered his subordinates to arrange a banquet, and he wanted to feast the ministers.
The servants agreed, and one by one they went to the dining room to prepare; Some of them slaughtered pigs and sheep to prepare ingredients, and some began to brush boiling water.
"Heh, Li Tang is really thoughtful, the firewood has already been placed in the stove, just light it directly."
"I guess they were just about to cook, and they were driven away by us, hurry up! The prince was already tired after a day's battle. ”
Xue Ju was indeed a little tired, and his chest began to ache faintly again; This made him lament that the years were unforgiving, and at the same time secretly hated Cheng Zhijie's flying axe, which caused him to suffer internal injuries and has not recovered so far.
The generals saw Xue Ju's fatigue, and they all got up and forced to leave; Xue Ju smiled: "Don't go!" I have already arranged for someone to prepare a banquet; Let's not get drunk today! Don't look at my age, if only ......"
His voice didn't fall, "Boom! There was a loud bang, and the high jaws of the city shook three times, and they trembled three times. The City Lord's Mansion was even more humming, and the doors and windows trembled, and the tiles fell like rain.
In particular, Xue Ju's head collapsed, and a piece of broken bricks and tiles almost buried him. Xue Ju's second son, Xue Renyue, Hao Yuan and others were startled, and hurriedly rushed up and pulled him out of the rubble.
Xue Ju was smashed on the head and bled out, and his face was covered with mud; He squirted a mouthful of blood and shouted, "Go and ask clearly, what's going on?" ”
Xue Renyue led people to run over quickly, came to the place of the accident, and found that the dining room had collapsed; Several butchers were slaughtering cattle and sheep, with knives in their hands, trembling all over, and their feces and urine were dripping.
"What's wrong? Say! Xue Renyue asked loudly; The butchers fell to their knees and kowtowed as if pounding garlic and said, "My lord, we don't know what's going on?" We are slaughtering cattle and sheep, and the third child is going to make a fire and boil water; Suddenly, with a bang, like the sky falling, it became like this! ”
