The failure of Li Er's strategy to save Zhao from Wei this time cannot show that Li Er's strategic thinking was wrong. The mistake was that Li Tang was late in raising his troops, allowing Lu Chang in Jiangnan to take the lead. Although Li Yuan is the emperor, the Guanzhong region has not yet been pacified, and the surrounding wars are continuous, and the Central Plains is beyond the reach of the whip, which is also a helpless thing.

Li Shimin's desire to let the Central Plains war situation continue to erode, at least strategically should be correct.

It can be seen that Li Shimin has a much more developed mind than other heroes.

At least so far, Li Tang's one-qiē action is about the same as that one.

The failure to recruit the Jiangnan army is similar to the recruitment of Du Fuwei. It's a pity that Jiangnan Lu Chang is not Du Fuwei, and Li Tang's recruitment failed.

The failure of this plan led to Li Tang's formation not being able to attack the Central Plains.

wanted to attack Shuzhong, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and Lu Chang in Jiangnan had already occupied Shuzhong and cut off the passage to Guanzhong. The army of the Li Tang Dynasty could not get through, and he lost the threat to Jiangnan.

This time, he pinned his hopes on attacking Xiangyang and transferring the Jiangnan Army away from the Central Plains, while maintaining the chaos in the Central Plains, but unfortunately it was still a bad move, and Lu Chang had already guarded against Li Shimin's conspiracy.

Li Shimin is still Li Shimin, and he has calculated. It's a pity that his luck was a little worse in this life, and his strategic deployment was shattered by Lu Chang.

Xue Rengao, who gave up Guanzhong, didn't fight, and ran to Nanyang to calculate Lu Chang, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and whether he could go back until now is a matter of two words.

Now that trouble is in place, his army has entered the strike range of the mighty sea.

The army was on the march, and suddenly the horse came to report: "Report, the big thing is not good......

As soon as the word was finished, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a large number of cavalry suddenly attacked.

This was during the march of Li Tang's army, and the cavalry led by Xiong Kuohai was divided into dozens of units and rushed towards the rear army of Li Tang's army, and attacked horizontally.

There's no way to say it, it's another heavy casualty.

But so what, do you want to stop the army and set up camp?

Setting up camp is not afraid of cavalry attacks, but Li Tang's army has no food and grass, so you want them to starve to death in the camp?

Li Shimin also has cavalry, right?

Of course there are cavalry, but the number is limited, and the battle in Guanzhong is fierce, and he can't draw all the cavalry, right?

This trip only brought a few hundred cavalry, and there were jumps along the way, scattered very much, where to resist the cavalry of the vast sea?

The problem is that the vast sea has finished this experience, and it is not stopped, and the next wave is waiting for Li Shimin on the road, unless they don't move the place.

But no, the army went out for miles, and was sacked by the mighty sea.

This time it was the front army of the attack, and the enemy army was in front and back, which made Li Shimin tired and grief-stricken!

Again and again, Li Tang's army was exhausted by the toss.

The point is that there are fewer and fewer troops, and no kind of army can withstand this toss. Li Shimin counted the number of troops, hey, less than 40,000, isn't this fatal?

And that's not the worst thing, and then the bad news came.

"Report, a large force of troops has been found in the rear, there are 30,000 of them, and they are tightly biting the rear of our army, and they may attack our army at any time."

Li Shimin has a toothache, this Zhang Yu is going to take advantage of the fire to rob again.

"Report, the vanguard army has been attacked by cavalry, and our army has suffered a lot of casualties, please give an order."

Grass, please make a decision, Li Shimin has a little headache, and he doesn't know how to deal with such a bad situation.

If there is food, he Li Shimin will not be so passive, and he will definitely find a way to bite the other party, the problem is that the army does not dare to stop marching.

"Order the army to ignore the enemy forces in the rear, speed up the march and return quickly. Also, concentrate the cavalry and confront the enemy cavalry, preferably to destroy them. ”

"No, speed up the march."

Although Li Er's idea is good, the reality will not be satisfactory.

Li Tang's cavalry was concentrated as a vanguard guard, but the cavalry of the majestic sea was also increasing. That's right, Lu Chang has already arrived, the total number of cavalry is 6,000, and if he really wants to send them all, I am afraid that he will crush Li Shimin's entire army.

"Report, the big thing is not good, the front army has been attacked, and our cavalry has been wiped out in the battle. Our infantry suffered thousands of casualties. ”

Hearing this news surprised Li Shimin.

"What's going on, how many troops does the other side have?"

"Report, there are more than 2,000 cavalry on the other side, and there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, and our army will be defeated at the first touch and will be overwhelmed by the enemy's cavalry."

More than two thousand cavalry? Li Er was really a little scared, there were more and more cavalry on the other side.

This thing is a little bit bad, what should I do?

At this time, Li Xiaogong also saw the problem and said, "King Qin, something is wrong." It's not a good sign that the enemy is fighting more and more, do you want to end our army? ”

"It's really possible, if only these troops are still talking, it really won't be good if they increase the army again. There are 30,000 troops in the back, and I don't know how many cavalry there are in front. The question is, where did the Jiangnan Army get so many cavalry? ”

Li Shimin's suspicion is reasonable, there are many water troops in the water towns south of the Yangtze River, and there are really not many cavalry, so it shouldn't be.

Li Xiaogong also shook his head, where did he know where did the Jiangnan Army get so many cavalry?

Li Tang's army sensed that the shape was not good, and the speed of the march increased significantly, and they encountered many attacks by the majestic sea cavalry on the road.

But Li Shimin didn't care about it, he just wanted to get rid of the pursuit of the Jiangnan army. As a result, those soldiers who were in poor health, coupled with hunger and fatigue, fell behind more.

Along the way, only 30,000 troops remained in two days.

It's miserable, it's miserable, but it's even worse to come!

No, the bad news is here again.

"Report, something is wrong, the east side of the front has found enemy troops, almost 30,000 troops."

"Report, something is wrong, 30,000 enemy troops in the rear have caught up."

I'm afraid of something, it's not coming.

There is an interception in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, and the momentum of the two-sided attack has been achieved, how do you let Li Er deal with it?

Since the beginning of the army, Li Er has never been so cowardly, nor has he ever been so wolfish and frustrated, and he was chased by others and fled for his life in such a panic.

The attack of 60,000 troops, they only have 30,000 troops left, how can they resist it?

Li Shimin had no charter in his heart, and the more anxious he became, the more panicked he became.

However, Li Xiaogong was quite stable, and said: "King Qin, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think about it, it is better to find a way to escape." In this way, the king of Qin selects 10,000 elite soldiers, and escapes before the enemy army is encircled, leaving the army and I will entangle them here to cover the withdrawal of the king of Qin, what do you think? ”

Li Shimin was very moved, Li Xiaogong chose to stay and block the enemy, that is nine deaths. Oh, there's almost no chance of being alive.

But there is no other way to do it other than that, the more you delay, the more trouble you have, the more you drag the enemy army, the more things are clear, the Jiangnan Army intends to take out Li Tang's army in one pot.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not good, it's too dangerous. ”

"The danger is certain, but there is no other way, hurry up, the sooner the better, once the enemy army is surrounded, you can't leave if you want to."

What Li Xiaogong said was the truth, and he, Li Er, was no longer hypocritical, said goodbye to Li Xiaogong with tears, and hurried north with 10,000 troops.

Not long after Li Shimin left, the Jiangnan Army had 30,000 troops in the south and 30,000 troops in the east, and quickly surrounded Li Xiaogong's 20,000 troops.

Yes, Li Xiaogong couldn't leave at all and was trapped in the local area.

And the Jiangnan army only surrounded them, and did not attack.

For Mao?

Because, there is no need to attack, Li Xiaogong's 20,000 troops have no food and grass, what to eat?

There may be a glimmer of hope in surrender, but there is no hope for anything else. (To be continued.) )
