Although they are camped outside Dingyuan County, the Tang army camp and the Wu army camp are still more than ten miles apart, which is a fairly safe distance, not so far as to be far away from the opponent's camp and not know half a point, and at the same time ensure that their own side will not be detected by the other party when there is a hidden movement of troops and horses, this is a seemingly contradictory statement, in fact, this is theoretically the case, of course, the actual situation is to test the hard and soft power of both sides. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Decheng had already planned to take the initiative to retreat to Qingliu Pass, and as soon as the preparations in the camp were halfway through, he received a message from the Qingliu Pass guard, which made Li Decheng's face difficult to see for a moment, the guards of Qingliu Pass were not mediocre people, and the Wu soldiers of Qingliu Pass were not wine bags and rice bags, but this was only relatively speaking, in front of the gentlemen led by Li Congjing himself, no matter how confident Li Decheng was in his own troops, he did not dare to have half an optimistic attitude.

"There are still more than 1,000 soldiers in Qingliu Pass, and there are nearly 3,000 guards in Chuzhou City, if Li Congjing really only led 3,000 iron armor in Junzidu, Qingliu Pass may not be captured immediately." A staff member said, for such words of relief, Li Decheng has no way to listen to it in his heart, Li Congjing has traveled hundreds of miles to attack, how can he not be completely sure, although he has not seen the gentlemen fighting, but he has heard of the records of the gentlemen in Longmen Mountain to block the 30,000 Xichuan army, how can the opponent's combat power be measured by common sense, and it is still under the personal leadership of Li Congjing?

Li Decheng didn't dare to delay for half a minute, so he asked the officers and men of the three armies to speed up, and the whole army retreated to Qingliu Pass, and at the same time he called the generals who stayed behind, told him well, and gave him an extra thousand soldiers and horses, so that the other party had to drag Li Congke no matter what, at least until dawn. At the same time, a team of horses was sent to rush to Qingliu Pass to pass the order, if Qingliu Pass has not fallen into the hands of Li Congjing, it must be held no matter what, if Qingliu Pass is no longer guaranteed, then when he leads the army back to Qingliu Pass, and then attack Chuzhou back and forth.

Left and right analysis, Li Decheng can only choose to march to Qingliu Pass, he can't escape to Luzhou or Chuzhou, wouldn't that give up Qingliu Pass and Chuzhou to the Tang Army?

Everything was arranged as best as possible, and it seemed that there was no problem, but theoretically reasonable did not necessarily work, and soon after Li Decheng led his army to Qingliu Pass, the guards and pro-army were killed in the Wu army camp. After the reorganization of the guards and the army, there is no shortage of students from the Academy of Martial Arts as the backbone, and there are many brave generals who have made many achievements earlier as generals, not to mention the main general Li Congke and the deputy general Li Yanchao, in order to strengthen the combat power of the guards and the army, Li Siyuan did not waste his thoughts, and the corners of the army in front of the palace were dug up by him a lot, including the brave generals of the previous hundred battle armies such as Ding Mao, Shi Congda and others, all of whom were transferred to the guards and the pro-army. It is not unreasonable to win day after day after day of fighting, and let Li Decheng lose his troops and lose his generals. At this time, the guards knew that Qingliuguan was attacked by the gentlemen, and naturally they would not leave half of their strength, and they all shouted to defeat Li Decheng before dawn.

"What kind of madness is Tang thief, the whole army is out to attack our army?" The generals of the Wu army who stayed behind were a little dumbfounded, and they were more angry, they were ordered to stay and intercept the Tang army, but for the sake of safety, the generals of the Wu army were only prepared to deal with a part of the elite of the Tang army's night attack, how could they have been prepared to face the entire guard army?

"General, I can't stop it!" One after another, commanders and envoys cried to the generals of the Wu army, "This kind of battle is clearly a Tang thief pouring out, I can't wait for 4,000 people, how can I resist it?" ”

If you don't leave, it's too late, the battle between heaven and man in the hearts of the generals of the Wu army didn't last long, he didn't want to fold himself here, and even if he was in front of Li Decheng, he was not unable to explain, who told him that the whole army would be dispatched by the guards? 30,000 Wu troops can't stop the Tang army, and he has more than 3,000 people to use a fart, can Li Decheng really correct him in military law?

Some time before the guards defeated the Wu army, the Wu army generals retreated in the face of difficulties and led their cronies to withdraw from the battle and chase Li Decheng. As soon as he left, the Wu army, which was already a little stunned, couldn't resist it, and it didn't take long for him to be killed by the guards and pro-army, and the surrender of those who fled fled and surrendered became a mess.

When Li Congke learned that Li Decheng's main force had already fled, and there were only three or four thousand Wu troops outside Dingyuan County, he was first overjoyed and said, "God help me", and then reacted that he must immediately chase Li Decheng, otherwise Li Decheng will lead the main force to escape, and tonight's battle can never be regarded as a real defeat of Li Decheng, after all, now the gentlemen are already attacking Qingliu Pass, and the situation is different. Li Congke didn't hesitate for a moment, and quickly made arrangements, and the division of labor to capture Dingyuan County to pursue Li Decheng was quickly completed.

Tonight is destined to be eventful, but this event is a happy event for some people, and a real disaster for others, not to mention that the generals of the Wu army who stayed behind fled in a hurry, and the officials and soldiers of Dingyuan County realized what it means to go to hell in one day tonight. Originally, Li Decheng led the army of Wu to the north, and set up a large camp in front of Dingyuan County, the formation was extraordinary, so that a group of county officials realized what is called the majesty of the empire, in the face of the Tang army to attack, the officers and soldiers of Dingyuan County were not much afraid, although the fierce battle situation of the war in the past few days was still unexpected, and at the same time it was inevitable that the body was cold, but the officials and soldiers of Dingyuan County never thought that the Wu army, which seemed invincible, would immediately retreat, until tonight Li Decheng retreated to Qingliu Pass, The officials and soldiers of Dingyuan County sadly found that they were abandoned, the key is that when Li Decheng retreated, Dingyuan County issued a strict order and did not allow them to retreat, because once the officials and troops of Dingyuan County retreated, it would inevitably cause the people to flee, and it would not be chaotic, even if the Tang Army was sluggish, it would hear the movement and immediately send troops, and Li Decheng would not be able to retreat to Qingliuguan, which was hundreds of miles away. After learning that Qingliuguan was attacked, Li Decheng would not let the officials and troops of Dingyuan County go, and if the Tang army wanted to capture Dingyuan County, it would always take some time to allocate a part of the troops, so wouldn't this create conditions for the evacuation of the Wu army's brigade? Therefore, Li Decheng's orders for the defenders of Yuan County can be called severe, and there is no half-distraction and soft-heartedness.

At this time, the sea of fire outside Dingyuan County is ten miles, the torches are more dense than the starlight, the officials and military officials of Dingyuan County gathered at the head of the city, looking at the extraordinary momentum of the Tang army outside the city to cover up the Wu army, listening to the sound of fighting and screaming Jin Ge, all of them are extremely cold, the fate of Dingyuan County to their own net worth, how can they not understand it, the main bookkeeper's voice trembled and asked the county order with a blue face, "Li Shuai retreated, and the soldiers and horses left behind have also been defeated, and now the Tang army is coming to attack the city, how can I wait?" ”

The county order trembled, half of it was for Tang Jun and half for Li Decheng, not to mention whether the water spirit maid in his house had enjoyed enough, and whether the money in the house was spent, he didn't want his good head to become the military exploits of the Tang Army, and he didn't want his parents, wives and children to become the souls of the Tang Army's iron hooves, the county commander looked at the guard, "What does the general want?" ”

The guard lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Everything depends on the county respect!" ”

"Good!" The county order did not hesitate at all, and his attitude was very decisive, "The flag was erected at the head of the city, and the main book quickly drafted a document, saying that Dingyuan County was willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty!" After saying this, the county commander said in a gloomy and aggravated tone: "Be quick!" The Tang army is about to attack the city! ”

Li Congke got the news that Dingyuan County was willing to surrender, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Ding Mao, who was going to attack the city, to let him leave a commander to take over the city, and the rest of the troops immediately followed the main force to pursue Li Decheng, as for the other soldiers and horses not to enter Dingyuan County tonight, Li Congke repeatedly told Ding Mao that he must strictly enforce military discipline and not disturb the people no matter what, once a soldier messes up the military law, he must be dealt with by military law, since Dingyuan County claims to be abandoning the dark and turning to the light, Li Congke must be treated kindly, and set an example for Wuguozhou County, Jiangbei.

The Wu army brigade led by Li Decheng walked out less than thirty miles, and he received a military report of the defeat of the remaining troops, which made Li Decheng itch with hatred, but before he had a chance to vent his anger, the scouts reported that the Tang army had caught up, and Li Decheng did not dare to delay, so he could only order the whole army to march to Qingliu Pass quickly. It didn't take long for these things to spread in the army, and some of the soldiers began to walk in a panic, completely ignoring the formation, and even began to throw away their armor in a vain attempt to leave the army as deserters, and the marching army began to show chaos, and the army had a posture of collapse, which completely annoyed Li Decheng, and he ruthlessly ordered his own soldiers to arrest all the soldiers who were in chaos, and concentrated on the side of the road to kill them in front of the whole army, which restored the order of the army a little.

However, after the Tang Army and the Horse Army took the lead in catching up, the rear formation was inevitably chaotic, and the chaos level was progressive, and there were signs of destroying the marching army columns, at this time it was a special test of the commander's talent, Li Decheng took the main force of this group of Wu army for a long time, while ordering the brave generals to fight with the Tang army behind the formation, while ordering the military law team to maintain the formation, and it was supported until dawn, although the Wu army soldiers lost one-twelfth of them, but the brigade was still maintained.

The situation has not improved, the guards and pro-army are all dispatched, following the Wu army, Li Congke is also a battlefield general, he is very experienced in arranging the pursuit battle, so that the Wu army has no chance to breathe, Li Decheng is at a disadvantage in the general trend, Rao is how handsome he is at this time There is not much effect, seeing that there are more and more deserters who are becoming more and more uncontrollable, and there are more and more Wu soldiers who are being chased and killed by the Tang army, Li Decheng has people who want to die, and he has never experienced such a fiasco in his life. Now that he has deeply experienced the taste of a lost dog, this makes his heart like a knife, and he would rather be like Liu Xin when he was in Tushan, let the army fight and lose and die himself, it is much better than being chased and beaten half a point in front of him.

From Dingyuan County to Guanshan, a hundred miles of land is a flat river, there is no place to set up an ambush if you want to, and there is no chance to arrange a secret killing machine in the forest, which makes Li Decheng hate it to the extreme, if he is not already half a gray hair, this time he has to be white overnight.

After more than a day of escape, Li Decheng finally led his troops into Guanshan, at this time the Wu army had lost more than half, only more than 10,000 people remained, most of those lost soldiers were deserters halfway, or simply surrendered to the Tang army, but the rest of the good people are also the backbone, not too useless. After entering the Guanshan realm, Li Decheng reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief and began to set up ambushes, but at this time, even the soldiers who loyally followed Li Decheng were all extremely tired, and their combat power had dropped to the extreme, and even if Li Decheng was familiar with the terrain, he didn't have much time to set traps. Li Congke is like a mad dog, commanding the guards to chase non-stop, and what poor Kou Mo chases and what Lin Mo enters, at this moment it seems to be completely left behind, and he only bites Li Decheng with one mind, and has the posture of biting Li Decheng to death one after another even if he loses his troops.

On the way to Qingliu Pass in the middle of the Guanshan Twists and Turns, the closer to the Qingliu Pass, Li Decheng's already very bad face is the more ugly, because the mountain is too quiet, quiet to the point that the atmosphere is weird, if the Qingliu Pass has not been captured by the gentlemen, it should be a fierce battle at this moment, quiet means two possibilities, either the gentlemen have captured the Qingliu Pass, or the Qingliu Pass has repelled the Junzidu, if the fact is the latter, if the fact is the former, Li Decheng is not sure that the gentleman will not go out of the Qingliu Pass to set up an ambush in Guanshan, Waiting for them to throw themselves into the net, as soon as they thought of this, Li Decheng couldn't help but feel cold all over his body, and it was not for him to rush to Qingliu Pass for a while, nor was he to rush to Qingliu Pass.

The attack on Qingliu Pass did not last long, it can be called a battle, which was expected by Li Congjing, from the time he led the Junzi to successfully appear behind Qingliu Pass and launch a surprise thunder offensive against Qingliu Pass, Li Congjing was sure that Qingliu Pass would be taken in one fell swoop, if the war did not develop like this, it would be unreasonable. Li Congjing is not a person whose mind is easy to be satisfied, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, looking at the pot and thinking about the ground is his style, not satisfied or insatiable to some extent, often the source of power to keep moving forward and even create excellence, to what extent can one thing be called perfect Li Congjing does not know, but he knows that many things can be done better, many times you think you have done well enough, in fact, at that time you can often go further, and after further you will find, In fact, you can go further, this is like time is like a sponge of stagnant water squeezing always a truth, after a hundred feet of progress further, you will wake up when you look back, the first time you think you have done a good enough thing, in fact, there are too many flaws that can be improved, so after the gentleman almost "effortlessly" won the Qingliu Pass, Li Congjing did not let the gentleman be idle, and immediately asked Shi Yanchao to go straight to Chuzhou City with more than 2,000 iron armor.

In all fairness, there are really not many 2,000 people, but the power of more than 2,000 iron horsemen cannot be underestimated, He Zhongxi's kind of ranger who thinks he is a hero in the world, when facing a team of gentlemen scouts, all his self-esteem was shattered, not because the gentlemen scouts are all three feet tall and their limbs are shining, but because this team of scouts killed his companions cleanly and neatly in front of them, and what kind of deterrent power more than 2,000 gentlemen appeared outside Chuzhou City, not only because of their own ironclad military might, but also because they had just captured Qingliu Pass.

Li Congjing's military order to Shi Yanchao was to surrender Chuzhou, after Shi Yanchao arrived outside Chuzhou City, he didn't have the intention of discussing with Chuzhou for half a minute, and immediately shouted loudly, and pronounced the death sentence of Chuzhou City, "A certain is the command of the King of Qin to command Shi Yanchao, pass on the order of the King of Qin, and open the city gate within a stick of incense to welcome the king into the city." Otherwise, after a stick of incense, a certain general will personally lead the army to capture the city, and then wait for the heads of others, and not one will be left! ”

Shi Yanchao's long lance pointed directly at the head of the city, arrogant and domineering, "If you dare to fight, go out of the city to fight, if you don't dare to fight, open the city gate quickly!" ”

After hearing that thousands of iron horsemen of the Tang Army were coming straight to Chuzhou City, the battle between heaven and man that had been entangled before finally had a result, and he told the guards to defend the city, turned around and hurriedly returned to the mansion, packed up the soft and ran away with the family and family. In the mind of the assassin, the war has already had a result, and Li Decheng needless to say that he must have been defeated, otherwise the Tang army would not have reached Qingliu Pass. The fierceness of the Tang army is simply beyond imagination, Li Decheng's 30,000 soldiers and horses will be defeated if he is defeated, how many soldiers and horses can the Tang army fight? Originally, the history of the assassin also hoped that Qingliu Pass could support some time, but from the sound of battle in Qingliu Pass, to the sound of fighting and then to the Tang Army's iron cavalry, it was less than half a day, what kind of place is Qingliu Pass, Xu Zhihe painstakingly spent a lot of effort to build the Xiongguan moat, and the terrain itself is also dozens of feet deep in the mountains and ravines, Xu Zhihe said that it is no less than Jianmen Pass, such a dangerous place was taken down by the Tang Army in half a day, it is just like playing, is the Tang Army still human, how can this not make people heartbreaking? Li Decheng's 30,000 people can't stop the Tang army, Qingliu Guanxiongguan can't stop the Tang army, he has only one Chuzhou city, and there are less than 3,000 soldiers defending the city, so what can he do to compete with the Tang army? If you don't run at this time, you won't be able to run away when the Tang army surrounds him!

After the Chuzhou assassin Shi took the lead in running, other officials got the news and fled one after another, and waited until Shi Yanchao showed off his might outside the city, and issued an order for Chuzhou to surrender within a time limit, and the city guards did not insist, and immediately took their cronies out of the east gate.

The final result was that Shi Yanchao stayed outside Chuzhou for less than a stick of incense, and the Chuzhou city gate was opened by the local soldiers of Chuzhou.

Shi Yanchao led the gentleman into the city and took over the city defense, and then he went to the Assassin Mansion Jiedu Envoy Mansion to get some things, and then returned to Qingliuguan.

Li Decheng walked and stopped in the Guanshan, and finally couldn't resist Li Congke's mad dog-like pursuit, and came to Qingliu Pass with a hard head.

At that time, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the majestic pass on the moat, and a young general dressed in bright armor stood on the pass with the banner of the Tang Army, looking down on their group of remnants and defeated generals, with a demeanor of pulling out mountains and reclaiming the sea, and his expression was light and breezy.

Li Decheng, who was extremely tired, looked up at the young man on horseback, and a sense of frustration and powerlessness that he had never felt before enveloped his heart.

Standing calmly on the Qingliu Pass, it was Li Congjing, he stretched out his hand, Shi Yanchao immediately handed over the thorn history and the Jiedu envoy seal letter obtained from Chuzhou City to him, and glanced at the embarrassed Wu soldiers under the city, Li Congjing's eyes finally fell on Li Decheng, "Chuzhou has entered the pocket of the lonely king, General Li has no way out, how not to surrender?" ”
