Chapter 159: The situation is not good

Li Shimin wanted to withdraw his troops, and tens of thousands of troops withdrew in the direction of Nanyang for several miles.

However, it was so easy for you Li Er to come, and it was so easy to evacuate, wouldn't it be very shameless for Zhang Yu?

Hey, come when you want to come, go when you want, how can there be such a good thing?

Zhang Yu was originally a good leader in leading soldiers, and he had been with Lu Chang for a long time, and he still had a good ability to beat the stuffy stick.

This generation is also familiar with the terrain, and they have long calculated that when the enemy army withdraws, they will suffer a loss.

No, Li Er led the army halfway there, and Zhang Yu's 20,000 troops were already in ambush on the road.

It is impossible for Zhang Yu to regret the Tang Army, the former army has passed, and Zhang Yu has not moved. Immediately after that, the Chinese army of the Tang Army slowly dripped past, but Zhang Yu still did not move.

When Li Tang's army was almost gone, Zhang Yu began to act.

Zhang Yu was not greedy, he only intercepted the tail of Li Tang's army, and the cavalry roared in front of him, slamming into the enemy's formation, making the unsuspecting Tang army suddenly confused.

The infantry then covered up, and the 20,000 troops only attacked the tail of Li Er's army with a few thousand men and horses, and quickly resolved the battle with superior forces.

Li Er's army was so miserable, it was first slashed and killed by the cavalry, and there were countless casualties, causing chaos in the entire army. Then, the 20,000-strong army was overwhelming, how could the Tang army dare to fight against it?

This is a one-sided war, after the army led by Zhang Yu swept by, the Tang army was killed and wounded everywhere, mourning was everywhere, and blood flowed like a river, what a tragic word!

This battle came and went quickly, Zhang Yu never delayed, he grabbed a handful and left, and in a flash, the 20,000 troops were gone.

When Li Er came over with the army, except for seeing the tragic situation of more than 3,000 soldiers in his army, he found no trace of the enemy army at all.

Careless!

I didn't expect the enemy army in Xiangyang City to dare to go out of the city to pursue, don't you look at me Li Er as an opponent!

Li Er was ruthless, and decided to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, letting the army continue to advance, marching at a slower pace, but secretly preparing the army, wanting to take advantage of the other party's attack again to catch the other party off guard.

It's a pity that Zhang Yu was not fooled, so Li Er waited left and right and didn't see Zhang Yu's army attack the rear army again.

Li Er can't afford to wait, he's hungry now, so let's leave quickly.

If there is really food and grass, maybe Li Er will wave his army to continue to besiege Xiangyang City to avenge this.

Walked to Nanyang and joined the army here, and the Tang army continued north.

When I came, there were 60,000 troops, and now there are only Wu Wanwu thousands of people left, and more than 3,000 people were lost by Zhang Yu's attack on the road, plus the loss of the siege, almost 5,000 people are gone, and this military operation is a bit worth the loss!

Li Shimin led the army to Tongguan in a depressed mood, and when he came here, Li Er was no longer worried, he firmly believed that Zhang Yu would not dare to risk a long distance from his own territory to pursue, so the entire army was only to guard against cavalry attacks from the north

But things are so strange, Zhang Yu really went out, and the 30,000 army stared at Li Er's rear army.

This situation once again exceeded Li Er's expectations, and it was doomed to suffer losses.

The soldiers of the Tang Army marched listlessly, and their stomachs were so hungry that they had no strength. At this time, Li Er focused on the front army, and the rear army did not have much defense. The formation of the army and the old man who pulled it again brought Zhang Yu an opportunity.

The rear army was walking with their heads buried in their heads, walking and walking, when suddenly they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a large number of cavalry roared towards them. Before the Tang army could line up in formation, the sudden cavalry slashed and scattered the army.

The Tang soldiers scattered and fled, avoiding the pursuit of the cavalry. But at this time, countless armies were killed on both sides, and the Tang army was overwhelmed at once.

On the one hand, the chaotic Tang army, on the other hand, with superior military strength, coupled with the surprise attack of the cavalry, the Tang army did not even have room for resistance.

This also blames Li Er for being careless, thinking that whether it is Nanyang or Xiangyang, they don't have many troops. Otherwise, as soon as the Tang army arrived, they would not even dare to show their faces, and would only be stationed in the city.

They don't have many troops, so they are on the defensive.

If Li Er had been more careful and sent more jumps in the rear, Zhang Yu would not have succeeded so easily. Li Shimin focused his attention on the front, jumped the soldiers to open the way, and was on abnormal alert.

Li Er regretted it now, but it was useless.

Zhang Yu is still the same old routine, the cavalry quickly charges, disrupting the enemy, and the infantry then covers and kills, and the battle is quickly resolved.

This time, he was still not greedy, and only intercepted less than one-fifth of Li Tang's army, swallowing nearly 10,000 Tang troops in one go.

Of course, it is impossible to wipe out all of them in such a short period of time, it is just to make these Tang troops lose their combat effectiveness.

When Li Er led his troops to arrive, except for the wounded soldiers and dead corpses in one place, there was no trace of the enemy, and Li Er, who was angry, jumped like thunder.

There are 60,000 troops, and now there are less than 45,000 troops left who can fight, can Li Er not be sad?

You must know that the Tang Dynasty army has made a bloody investment this time, except for the west that the army of the Fu Xue family can't move, and all of them have been transferred here, which is a bit painful!

"Report, in Luoyang, Li Mi's army was defeated by Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and have died, most of the Xiaoguo army was captured by the Jiangnan army, and the Jiangnan army is rapidly advancing to the west."

Just then, the scout came and reported very bad news. Li Er was stunned, and didn't make a sound for a long time with his mouth open. The war in the Central Plains is over!

Nima, add fuel to the fire! The problem is that this information came a little late, if he had come a little earlier, he Li Er would have withdrawn the army earlier, and he would not have ended up in such a miserable situation. The anger in Li Er's heart, his face was a little hideous, so scary!

Li Shimin took out his sword and stabbed to death the sergeant who came to Baoxing in front of him, and shouted angrily, "Such important news was delivered at this time, and the fighter plane was delayed, and the crime deserved death." ”

Li Shimin pressed his mistake on the sergeant who reported the news, and let the sergeant who reported the news be a scapegoat, which is a little inauthentic!

"King Qin, the army can't be delayed any longer, Jiangnan Lu Chang's westward advance must be to cut off our way back, we must guard against it!"

Li Shimin naturally knew Lu Chang's intentions, if Lu Chang's Jiangnan army was really cut off from the way back, these Tang troops might not be killed or wounded by thousands of people, but almost all of them would be wiped out. The casualties here can't be taken care of at all, and it is important for the army to hurry back to Tongguan.

The 45,000 Tang troops, despite hunger and fatigue, hurried north, hoping to return to Tongguan before the Jiangnan army arrived.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Lu Chang had already arrived and was waiting for him in front.

The information of the Tang Army has been sent, and Lu Chang has to go one step ahead of them, how can he fall behind them.

Not only Lu Chang came, but the army led by the whole institute made a detour to the north and had already arrived at the established position.

The Jiangnan army is not only here, behind these armies, there are also large armies led by Shan Xiongxin, Pei Yuanqing, and Luo Shixin, who have rushed over here, and his Li Er's situation is very bad! (To be continued.) )
