Chapter 207: Heaven and Earth Synergy (Finale)

The battle that sent Li Xinxiao to fight was completely wrong judging from the results. The Li family folded these 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the strength of the www.biquge.info to defend the city was immediately insufficient. The Tuliao people, who had suffered a big loss and were demoralized at the hands of the Dingbei garrison, trembled again.

With the help of the Dingbei garrison, the Li family had the upper hand in this battle to defend the city. As a result, this battle almost didn't even export his pants, and he returned to the situation of defending the city. But from the beginning to the end of this battle, it was the Li family's own decision, and the Dingbei garrison was not notified at all, so who could blame it?

When faced with the predicament at the beginning, when there was a request for help, the Li family sent a messenger a day to the Dingbei garrison group for help, and there were many good things to say. Now that he thought that the Tuliao people were weak and felt that his wings were stiff, Li Sinai immediately put aside the Dingbei garrison and decided to enjoy the fruits of the victory that was about to be in his hands. As a result, the cruel reality slapped him hard.

On that day, Li Si was jealous, his mind was dizzy, and he planned before the war, but he was the first to win. Before the war, he analyzed the favorable factors that the Li family could defeat. When the battle was defeated, he began to find the reason why his own soldiers and horses could not win. The order is completely reversed, and Li Si Nai, who was haunted by jealousy at that moment, does not look like a battle-hardened hero. In fact, Li Sinai was already in his fifties at this time, and he had no hope of entering the transcendent realm for the rest of his life, and his physical body was just an ordinary man, and he had begun to age at this time. It is inevitable that people will be swayed by emotions and have abnormal judgment when they are old.

In fact, not only Li Temple is like this, but most of the people in this world are not like this?

However, Li Sinai is a generation of heroes, and under the pain, he immediately woke up and knew that he had despised the Tuliao people before, so he was defeated. After "repentance", Li Sinai returned to his old job, began to shrink his head and wait for death, stubbornly defending the city, no matter how the Tuliao people provoked, he just refused to go out of the city to face the battle.

Most people in this world are accustomed to imagining a bright future before doing things, and immerse themselves in unrealistic dreams of success. When they fail, they find out the inevitable reasons for all kinds of failures, saying that this is not something that can be reversed by manpower. It is also called its name, summing up the lessons of failure. Learn from Sun Tzu's art of war, big brother, "first is invincible", before doing things, it is only right to find out the reasons for possible failure.

It's a pity that this is easy to say, but difficult to do, and few people can do it. So successful people are always in the minority.

Besides, he Li Sinai didn't go to inquire, and even a strong army like the Dingbei Garrison Regiment chose to hold the camp tightly and shut up after the great victory over the Tuliao cavalry. His Li family actually thought that he could take the opportunity to pick up a ready-made bargain, but instead of getting the bargain, he broke his front teeth.

After this battle, the Li family lost more than thirty percent of their soldiers and horses, and their strength was greatly damaged, and they no longer dared to go out of the city to fight with the Tuliao people. The Tuliao people were no better, and a total of 20,000 cavalry were defeated by the Dingbei garrison regiment and the Li family, and the strength was sharply reduced. There are a total of 60,000 troops on the West Road of Tuliao, and it was originally a little difficult to point to these soldiers and horses to surround Luodu City, but now, the troops are even more stretched. As a last resort, the Tuliao people also shrank their battle lines and took the initiative to abandon several long-besieged city gates.

Even though the Tuliao people have always been rampant, looking fierce and fierce, they are low-level soldiers. The nobles of the upper echelons of Tuliao had not yet been completely corrupted by the wealth captured by the Ping Zhou Dynasty at this time, and they still retained a fairly clear strategic mind. The commander of the Western Route Army, Ashina Blackback, has been bleeding from his heart for the 20,000 soldiers who died in battle for the past few days. It is difficult to survive on the grassland, and it is even more difficult for people to reproduce, and the entire Tuliao tribe, up to now, the old and young men combined, are less than one million.

What Ashina Blackback values most is the number of sons under his command. Due to the harsh survival of the grasslands, any male who can grow to the age of thirteen or fourteen without dying will become an excellent cavalryman without special training. The harsh natural environment is the best military instructor of the Tuliao people. The Tuliao man, who grew up in a harsh environment, is also the most aggressive soldier. Because they are desperate to improve their living conditions, and when they see anything good, they will risk their lives to grab and kill.

But this heaven is also extremely fair, he makes the Tuliao men warlike by nature, all of them are powerful elite cavalry, but it also makes the Tuliao people scarce. Many men die of winter and disease on the grassland before they reach adulthood.

Ashina Blackback knows very well that the reason why the current Tuliao Khan can be called the emperor and monopolize the power of the clan is because he has the most soldiers and horses under his command. Therefore, after each war, the Tuliao Emperor also shared the most spoils. In these battles under the city of Luodu, he lost more than 20,000 cavalry of his own family, and Ashina Blackback's whole heart was dripping blood, and even the serious injuries he suffered himself did not make him so uncomfortable.

The Tuliao people now seem to be a unified empire, but in fact, internally, they still continue ancient traditions. The three primitive tribes, each with elite cavalry under their command, the west road, the middle road, and the east road, these three Tuliao armies are the three major Tuliao tribes that make up the Tuliao Empire: Juetu, Qiliao, and Wanjin. Among them, the tribe of the Tuliao Emperor is the largest part of the Tuliao people, Qiliao.

The major military affairs seem to be all the will of the Tuliao Emperor alone, but in fact, they are the result of the joint discussion of the three families. These cavalry under Ashina Blackback are not only his soldiers and horses for conquering cities, but also the cornerstone of his imperial power structure. The 20,000 dead cavalry can be said to have injured Ashina Blackback.

Under the heavy setback, Ashina Blackback lost his initial vigor and began to be cautious. In addition, now that there is a Dingbei garrison in the north, maybe when it will come again, the Tuliao people simply shrink their forces and transfer all the cavalry to the Tuliao battalion west of Luodu.

In fact, the commander of the Western Liaoning Route Army, Ashina Blackback, was also scared by Wang Zhuangbiao. He never thought that there would be such a fierce general in the world, who could actually seriously injure himself and fly away with one blow, if he hadn't been wearing the protective gold armor given by the emperor, I am afraid that he would have become a dead corpse at this moment.

Speaking of the battle against the Li family, in order to completely defeat the Li family in a war, Ashina Blackback shot all the "explosive arrows" of the Western Route Army. Now that there is no "explosive arrow" support, the combat power of the Tuliao cavalry will also drop by a notch. Now that the cannons have been destroyed, it will take at least a month for the new ones to be built. Therefore, the Tuliao people have no means and ability to siege the city for the time being. Unless Ashina Blackback is crazy and no longer cares for the lives of his subordinates, let the cavalry dismount and set up a ladder to climb the tall city wall of Luodu.

For a time, the Tuliao people had no means to attack the city, and the soldiers and horses of the Li family did not dare to go out of the city to fight again. On the battlefield of the Western Front of the Tuliao people, there was a rare calm. Every day, the soldiers and horses of the two families, one on the city and the other under the city, do nothing but stare at each other, and after a long time, they have to stare at each other.

The dawn here is quiet, and there is no fighting on the Western Front.

The battle came to this point, and Ashina Blackback also had the idea of retreating. There is no way, now that he has figured it out, Luodu City is in a hurry, and it is difficult to conquer. Unless he treats the Tuliao cavalry as an infantry attached to the siege of the city, he fills it in regardless of the casualties, and forcibly climbs the tall city wall of Xijing Luodu with his life. However, there are few people in Tuliao, and Ashina Blackback will never take the lives of these cavalry under his command to exchange for a Luodu City.

But to retreat like this, Ashina Blackback is really unwilling. Since the Tuliao people broke through Zhongshen City and swept the world, they have never suffered such a big loss. Besides, the soldiers and horses of the Li family are now completely frightened by themselves, and they cower in the city every day and dare not come out. Just withdrew, Ashina Blackback couldn't convince himself.

After thinking about it, Ashina Blackback finally came up with a trick. He found a kneeling slave who could write Pingzhou script, and wrote a letter to the Li family in Luodu City, threatening to withdraw as long as the Li family sent all the treasures and gold and silver coins in Luodu City, as well as young and beautiful women. In order to prevent the Li family from cheating, he also opened his mouth and asked for 10 million silver coins and 2 million coins. You must know that the last emperor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, in his heyday, the annual tax in the world was only 50 million silver coins. As soon as this Ashina Black Back opened his mouth, he asked for more than half of the taxes paid in the world every year in the past, and his appetite was really not small.

However, after such a ridiculous letter was delivered to the Li family, Li Sinai was actually moved. Without him, after the defeat of the Li family, the generals under his command were terrified, and they no longer dared to speak lightly of fighting with the Tuliao cavalry. There is only one newly recruited general, named Wei Chi Yong, who is shouting for battle every day. But he was just a newly descended young general, it turned out to be Wang Songcheng's subordinate, where the Li family was willing to believe him, naturally no one paid attention to his voice.

The eldest son was defeated, and the Flying Tiger Battalion was wiped out. The second eldest black-armored longsword battalion currently has less than 500 remnants, and it is simply unbearable. The third child has never been successful. The fourth child is very fierce, but he has always been silent, and he has never led a large army to fight alone, and Li Sinai can't rest assured. Li Si Nai counted and counted, and the Li family now has no available generals, so he can't personally lead the troops to battle, right? If you lose again, how embarrassing it is, how can you still be the head of your family.

That night, Li Sinai called all four sons to his eyes, and then took out the letter from the Tuliao people. It is unknown how it was discussed that night. The next day, all the merchant families in Luodu City were unlucky, and the Li family first forced them to spend money to buy various titles, and then simply raided their homes and gave them titles according to the money they obtained. This was not enough, and then he copied all the remaining powerful ministers in Luodu City, and finally reluctantly scraped together 10 million silver coins.

The Li family acted like this, and everyone in Luodu City was in danger for a while. After Boss Guo, who had cooked mutton, got the news, he immediately sent the news to the Dingbei garrison in the north through secret channels.

Head Xiao Liu called Deputy Head Li Deyi, and then handed him the letter. After Li De took a look, he didn't think anything was wrong, and pouted: "The Li family is really willing to have so much money." ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu opened his mouth and asked, "It said above, where did the Li family covenant and the Tuliao people agreed?" ”

"On the bridge over the muddy water river west of the city of Los Angeles."

"The autumn rain just stopped the day before yesterday, and with such a heavy rain, I don't know if this muddy water river has risen." Doctor Liu was headless and brainless, and suddenly said such a sentence.
