Chapter 312: Stubborn Stubbornness
In fact, this is not to blame Li Quanzhong for being anxious, because only he knows how much he has paid for the victory of this battle, in order to be able to act more like, so as not to make Li Xian suspicious, he did not hesitate to let the more than 30,000 people under the command of Yeluye really rout, and even watched his henchmen commit suicide and was indifferent, but he was about to see hope, but the crossbow arrows of his army were blocked by his own people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The so-called own people are the defeated soldiers who were previously subordinate to Yeluye and fled in the left and right directions.
Li Xian took advantage of the time when those routs fled, and immediately launched a pursuit, but the result was that those routs were used as meat shields to block the crossbow arrows of the ambush soldiers set up by Li Qianzhong, such a situation is really a bit ridiculous.
And if Li Qianzhong knew that Li Xian had cracked his conspiracy from the beginning, and Li Xian would definitely chase him here without sacrificing him so much, it is estimated that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood immediately.
However, Li Quanzhong is now in no mood to finish Li Xian's thoughts, his heart can be said to be extremely angry, and in this mood, Li Quanzhong ordered to continue shooting arrows until all the feather arrows are shot.
But what annoyed him was that when his own soldiers blocked the first round of arrow rain on his side, the Tang army was already ready, and all the big shields he carried immediately unfolded to form a relatively complete defense system, in this case, his next arrow rain on the Tang army The damage was naturally extremely limited, and it is estimated that only hundreds of people were injured, and the only few who were shot dead were also because they were too unlucky, and they were shot by stray arrows flying from nowhere.
"Ahh Li Qianzhong pulled out his saber, slashed at the front, and then took the lead in killing him.
"Kill!" With Li Qianzhong's order, tens of thousands of cavalry were like a tide, killing the Tang army.
However, the Tang army was prepared for a long time, and after forming a formation, it began to defend tenaciously.
It was not until this time that Yang Siqiao, Gao Sheji and others, who had previously expressed their incomprehension of Li Xian's military orders, fully understood the reality of the enemy army and expressed their heartfelt admiration for Li Xian's decision-making.
After continuous fighting, Yang Siqiao finally understood that the army led by Yeluye before looked like there were 100,000 people, but it was a false banner, full of calculations, and that team was only more than 30,000 people, and it was really used to lure the enemy, and it was not until Li Qianzhong's army was ambushed that he understood Li Quanzhong's insidious plan, and actually used a real defeat to induce the Tang army to chase and kill, and then laid an ambush in the rear, and then sought a decisive battle with the Tang army, striving to complete the battle, completely eliminate this Tang army, capture or kill Li Xian, Inflicted a heavy blow on the Don Army.
And in the process of luring the enemy, in order to make the luring of the enemy look more real, Li Quanzhong was even more ruthless, and let more than 30,000 people under his command perform a real rout, regardless of the life or death of the soldiers.
But I have to say that this poisonous plan is really useful, at least both Yang Siqiao and Gao Sheji have been deceived, if it weren't for Li Xian seeing Li Qianzhong's trick, it is estimated that they were really calculated this time.
"I wonder how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw through this ruse?" Later, after the end of the war, both of them asked Li Xian with doubts.
But I heard Li Xian laugh and said: "This matter is very simple, if the Khitan is really pouring out, Li Qianzhong will definitely personally lead the troops to fight, now that Li Qianzhong is not here, I see that although the other party has many banners, the number is not so many, when it is even concluded, then Li Qianzhong must have set up an ambush in front, although he deliberately sent me a big victory, and it did lose a lot of manpower, can Li Qianzhong's cunning, how can he just stop?" ”
After listening to Li Xian's explanation, the two were deeply impressed, and since then, they have strictly obeyed Li Xian's military orders all their lives, no matter how unconventional they are, they have never had the slightest doubt.
Of course, that's all for later, and the most important thing now is to find a way to stick to it.
Although both sides had plans for this battle, the Tang army was different from the Khitan, and the Khitan team responsible for luring the enemy didn't know that they still had reinforcements, so they broke down immediately after the defeat, which was why they suffered such a big loss. However, the Tang army knew the Tang army's plans in advance, and they understood that Li Xian had arranged everything, and although they were surrounded, they knew that they still had reinforcements, and as long as they held on, they would definitely win the final victory.
It was precisely because of the hope that all the people gritted their teeth and persevered, and although the enemy attack was very fierce, they were never able to break up their formation.
Especially on the front and rear flanks of the team, the two major pro-army commanders under Li Xian, Yang Siqiao and Gao Sheji, were guarded.
Especially Yang Siqiao, in fact, at the beginning, when Li Xian directly appointed him as the deputy commander of the pro-soldiers, most of the pro-soldiers under his command were not convinced, because such a position is not only a strong martial arts, but must be a loyal and brave person to be able to hold it, and this Yang Simiao's voice is high-pitched, it is obviously a eunuch, such a person wants to lead Li Xian's elite pro-soldiers who are stronger than ordinary generals, it is simply impossible.
However, in the process of this battle, Yang Siqiao not only conquered those pro-soldiers with his brilliant martial arts, but also saved the lives of countless brothers at the moment of life and death, and sometimes it was even too late, and he even used his body to block the sword for those pro-soldiers, just because of this, Yang Simiao suffered more than ten injuries, the most serious of which was actually on the cheek, almost hurting the eye.
"Commander Yang deserves to be Commander Yang, and our brothers have obeyed." When the soldiers saw Yang Simiao's protective brothers who forgot to die, they all admired him, and said silently to Yang Simiao, their eyes at Yang Simiao were also full of respect, and their eyes at Li Xian were extremely admired, because they didn't know how Li Xian discovered such an outstanding talent.
Of course, except for Yang Siqiao, the other generals also fought the battlefield, and none of the 40,000 troops flinched, even if they died, they did not have any fear.
In this way, three days passed, Li Xian's 40,000 army lost five or six thousand people, and more importantly, the food was insufficient, and the army was in a predicament. (To be continued.) )
