After more than two hours of fighting with the Youzhou army, the 10,000-strong team led by Cao Dan was annihilated, the 8,000-person team led by Gao Yaxian was annihilated, and most of the vanguard troops led by Su Lie were killed or wounded.

Dou Jiande's army suffered more than 25,000 casualties, including the most elite foot soldiers and the only cavalry corps.

Although Dou Jiande's side still had more than 50,000 troops at this time, these people had long lost the will to fight in the face of the sudden artillery.

As a last resort, Dou Jiande could only choose to retreat temporarily, in order to retreat to Caged Fire City and then fight the Youzhou army again.

However, the retreat on the battlefield is obviously different from the usual training, not to mention that Dou Jiande's current soldiers have not even trained in peacetime?

After the cavalry led by Wang Bodang and Zhao Hu began to rush and kill, the pressure on the soldiers on Dou Jiande's side increased sharply, and a good retreat immediately turned into a runaway.

But how can a two-legged foot soldier outrun the chasing cavalry?

Seeing the reversed situation, Luo Yi immediately handed over the remaining four or five thousand foot soldiers directly to Wei Ting, and let him participate in the activity of chasing and killing enemy deserters, while he stayed on the shore with one hundred and ten guards.

When Luo Yi was about to ask to board Su You's warship, he encountered Waterloo's heavy cavalry and returned, but the number was not even a quarter of the original; Although Luo Yi was mentally prepared, when he really got the exact news, he couldn't help but feel sad

Having lost the heavy cavalry, what else can you rely on?

"Ziyan" Luo Yizheng didn't know how to comfort them, when he suddenly heard a call from behind him, but it was Su You's boat that slowly leaned towards the shore.

Su You was standing on the deck at this time, and beside him were Lai Yanbei and Pei Shiju, as well as one hundred and ten guards.

"Brother Hengbo, long time no see" Luo Yi silently wiped away the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, turned over and dismounted.

Su You nodded, although he didn't see the destruction of Youzhou's heavy cavalry team with his own eyes, but looking at the sparse team in front of him, he finally guessed the result.

"Luo Yi lost the heavy cavalry, Luo Yi is finished"

With this thought, Su You didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed at this time, - losing most of the heavy cavalry, Luo Yi would take refuge in himself if there was no accident, but the heavy cavalry that he had finally trained was gone, which was a pity

After Su You's ship docked, Luo Yi greeted him and asked to board Su You's warship.

Su You naturally didn't have a reason to disappoint it, he personally greeted the boat and grabbed Luo Yi's hand, "Ziyan, it's been a long time, I'm here in time today."

Luo Yi didn't know how to answer, although they didn't explicitly ask Su You to reinforce him, but he sent him a letter more than twenty days ago, which was also timely?

However, if Su You had come half an hour late, he might have died on the battlefield, and from this point of view, Su You's words were true.

Su You looked at Luo Yi's gloomy face and didn't know how to answer, so he smiled again and said, "My troops are here to eliminate Dou Jiande, and the army from Liaodong should also arrive in the next two days."

Luo Yi just listened quietly, and after a while, he said, "My Yanyun Iron Horse is gone, I'm finished."

"Ziyan" Su You was originally willing to listen to him say this, but now he didn't know how to speak, so he had to pull Pei Shiju out and introduce him to Luo Yi, "This is Pei Gong, you've seen it."

Luo Yi is naturally no stranger to Pei Shiju, one of the five nobles of the imperial court, but it feels really unexpected to meet him in this situation.

Pei Shiju smiled and immediately explained, "Your Majesty heard that Hengbo broke the Goryeo Royal City, so he sent me to Sanshan to send a message to Hengbo, wanting to ask him to go out of the mountain to exterminate the thieves."

Luo Yi's face flushed, although he was different from those thieves who burned and looted everywhere, but he broke away from Yang Guang and stood on his own, how could he not be a thief?

"How did you think that Hengbo had just taken over His Majesty's orders, but I heard that Yu Wenhua and these rebels had actually launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, and even His Majesty" Pei Shiju continued to speak, unconsciously full of old tears.

"What?" Luo Yi couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard such exciting news, in his impression, Yu Wenhua was not such a gentleman.

Su You shook his head and said sadly, "The mutiny happened twenty days ago, that is, on March 11, and His Majesty was strangled by them in the West Pavilion of Jiangdu Palace."

"This" Luo Yi never thought that Yang Guang's death would be such a way of dying, and he was stunned for a while.

Su You said frankly, "After hearing this news, I am also indignant, and I am ready to contact the rebels from all walks of life to crusade against Yu Wenhua, I don't know what Ziyan thinks."

Isn't liaising with the rebels everywhere to rebel?

Luo Yi secretly rolled his eyes, the troops he now has are less than 10,000 people, and the Yanyun Iron Cavalry that can be used no longer exists, and it is a question whether these soldiers on hand can hold the territory now.

Luo Yi looked at Pei Shiju, and then at Su You and asked noncommittally, "I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

"In order to survive in this troubled world, in fact, I have long had the idea of being self-reliant like Ziyan, and this idea was finally established before coming to Youzhou this time, that is, to truly establish my own kingdom - Yunzhong. In fact, Pei Gong has agreed to my invitation to be the prime minister of my cloud China. I came to Youzhou this time, and I also have the intention of inviting Ziyan to join my cloud China, I don't know what Ziyan wants? ”

Su You immediately said his thoughts, Pei Shiju's eyes flickered, he didn't remember when Su You invited him to be the prime minister.

Luo Yi didn't feel too surprised by the news of Su You's self-reliance, he just nodded and said with some embarrassment, "Hengbo's courage, I, Luo Yi, am ashamed of myself, but"

"If Ziyan is willing to join Yun China, I, Su You, will definitely not treat you badly, and now I can guarantee that you are still the governor of Youzhou" Su You seemed to know what Luo Yi was worried about, and immediately drew a big cake for him.

Luo Yi smiled dumbly, as if his mind was seen through by Su You.

In fact, how many soldiers and horses are there in Youzhou? What do you have to be attached to? No matter who is going to co-opt themselves, it is impossible to give a better price than this, right?

Luo Yi didn't bargain anymore, and happily agreed to the price offered by Su You, "The lord is too careful, in fact, I am more willing to follow the lord into the Central Plains and avenge His Majesty with my own hands!" ”

Su You was overjoyed, "So Ziyan agreed to join me Cloud China?" Good, fabulous! But Youzhou still needs you to guard it. Don't worry, all the prisoners captured after the battle with Dou Jiande this time are under your control, and those who lack money and food can be solved by Pei Gong. I only hope that you can help me train a large army in Youzhou that can fight against the Turks! ”

Luo Yi's so-called following Su You into the Central Plains just now was actually just perfunctory, and at this time, listening to Su You really didn't let himself move, the little doubt that still existed in his heart just now completely dissipated.

To be honest, compared to fighting with the Great Sui soldiers commanded by Dou Jiande Wei Dao'er, Luo Yi was still more willing to fight against the Turks, Kumoxi or Khitans

The mission of the military is to protect the country and the people, to fight against foreign invaders, not their own compatriots.

Luo Yi's favorite way of life is to guard the border.

Luo Yi and Su You were talking, the sky slowly darkened, Wang Bodang, Zhao Hu and the cavalry team commanded by Xue Wanche returned to the battlefield one after another, and the foot soldiers commanded by Wei Ting had already started cleaning the battlefield

After listening to the report of Wang Bodang and others, Su You learned that they chased them for about twenty miles, killing more than 10,000 enemies who had fled.

Dou Jiande and the other defeated soldiers have now entered Caged Fire City, and their remaining troops are only more than 30,000 people, they have obviously lost the strength to counterattack, and the next thing is most likely to continue to rout

Su You didn't want to engage in any fatigue tactics with them, so he only let Wang Bodang and the others have good news and prepare to attack Caged Fire City tomorrow.

After driving Dou Jiande back to his hometown, the next thing to do was to liberate Li Jing's army, and then join Zhang Long's army, which was about to go south, and wipe out Dou Jiande's army along the canal to the south

Su You's tactical arrangements had results long before he came to Youzhou, and there were no accidents in the general direction.

However, after Xue Wanche saw his brothers and more than a thousand horsemen die unexpectedly, his mental state suddenly became depressed, and even the meeting with Su You was just a hurried greeting.

Luo Yi immediately invited Su You to enter Zhuo County, Su You had already incorporated him at this time, so naturally there was no reason to retreat, and then entered the Linshuo Palace surrounded by one hundred and ten guards and Zhao Hu's thousand heavy horses.

Linshuo Palace was the palace that Yang Guang built here in order to strengthen his determination to conquer Goryeo, and when the civil and military officials collectively opposed it, Su You also gave Yang Guang a reason through Yang Er's mouth - "The Son of Heaven guards the country".

Although Luo Yi was self-reliant in Youzhou and took Linshuo Palace for granted, he only took the food and weapons and armor of Linshuo Palace, but Su You became the first owner of Linshuo Palace after Yang Guang.

After Su You entered the Linshuo Palace, Luo Yi led Wei Ting, Wen Yanbo and others to formally meet Su You and take him as the main thing.

Su Youjiu occupied the magpie's nest, and he didn't care too much about etiquette or anything, the first thing he did after entering the palace was to restore the freedom of the palace maids, and the report of the battle during the day was also handed over by Luo Yi.

Su You looked at this battle report and was stunned for a while, the number of casualties in this battle exceeded 50,000!

Luo Yi's side dispatched more than 19,000 people, with more than 10,000 dead and wounded, including more than 1,500 of the most elite heavy cavalry and more than 900 light cavalry, and the rest of the most seriously killed and wounded were the right wing army led by Wei Ting, which was almost completely annihilated.

The 10,000 right-wing army led by Cao Dan of Dou Jiande's department was almost completely wiped out, and the 8,000-strong left-wing army led by Gao Yaxian was killed and wounded nearly half of them after fighting against Wei Ting.

Dou Jiande's Chinese infantry was first destroyed by Xue Wanche's light cavalry, and more than half of the light cavalry and subsequent infantry died under Su You's artillery

Including being chased and killed by Wang Bodang and others all the way, Dou Jiande's side lost more than 40,000 troops.

Wang Bodang, Zhao Hu and others captured prisoners, only more than 3,000 people
