Chapter 313: Reinforcements Arrive
Although the difficulties came, but the Tang army did not give in, in the face of hunger, they killed the wounded horses, drank horse blood, ate horse meat, and even some people also ate the dead Khitan horses and the corpses of the soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Regarding this situation of the Tang Army, Li Qianzhong is naturally very clear that his army was still attacking desperately, but then it stopped, the purpose was naturally to consume the Tang Army to death, but he put up a defensive formation against the besieged Tang Army soldiers, which was also a move made for fear that the Tang Army would fight back desperately.
And in order to destroy the Tang army's will to resist, Li Quanzhong even ordered someone to shout to the Tang army: "Tang army soldiers, you have been surrounded, now there is no way to retreat, I dare to guarantee that in a few days, without our army to attack, you will all be starved to death, but God has the virtue of a good life, my general is merciful, willing to spare your life, as long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender to my Khitan, my general will definitely let you go home." Time is limited, and my general's patience is limited, so I ask all the soldiers who want to live to think about it...... Ah......h
Before the soldiers could finish their words, they saw several arrows flying in the distance, and before they could dodge, they were shot into their throats, and before they could say another word, they were killed on the spot.
In the distance, a silver-armored general was holding a hard bow, looking at Li Qianzhong opposite with a sneer on his face, full of provocation.
Li Qianzhong naturally knew that person was the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the commander Li Xian, although he hated to kill Li Xian immediately, but the strength of the other party should not be underestimated, if he forcibly launched an attack, although Li Xian could be captured and killed from now on, but the losses suffered by his own side were extremely unbearable.
In fact, Li Quanzhong originally looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, and even after the whole army under his command Yeluye suffered heavy losses, he still did not pay much attention to the Tang army, but after these few days of offensive and defensive battles, the army under his command actually lost more than 12,000 people, if the battle continues according to such a casualty ratio, it is estimated that after Li Xian's army is completely wiped out, his army can only have one or two thousand people left at most, and at that time, even if Li Xian can be captured, what is the point? Because even if he forces Datang to compromise, the forces he has worked so hard to build will definitely be swallowed up by other forces, especially the current leader of the Jin Ya tribes, Da Zuorong, is in the limelight, and there are more than 200,000 troops under his command, if he loses this battle to this extent, it is estimated that he will not have to wait for Da Zuorong to speak, and he will take the initiative to surrender to the other party in order to seek refuge.
It was based on the above considerations that Li Qianzhong did not have the courage to fight hard with the Tang army, so although he was provoked by Li Xian and shot to death several soldiers he sent out to shout, he could only secretly swallow this breath and forcibly restrain the order to give a general attack, but said angrily: "Li Xian, I am also thinking about the lives of the soldiers under your command, I didn't expect you to be so despicable, and even did not hesitate to provoke me, let me order to kill those poor soldiers, and then delay time for your life, if you are a man, Don't stop those who want to survive, let them choose for themselves whether to surrender to me or continue to follow you. ā
"Since you want to know, I will fulfill you", I saw Li Xian laughing, and then shouted to the soldiers in the army: "Soldiers, now Li Quanzhong said, as long as you surrender, I can give you a way to live, even so, this king is also willing to be an adult, if you choose to surrender, this king will never stop you, whether you go or stay, you can do it yourself." ā
After Li Xian finished speaking, all the Tang soldiers were afraid that they would be considered greedy for life and afraid of death, so not only did they not step forward, but they all retreated, and at the same time they smiled and said, "Li Quanzhong is not stupid, right?" To make such a joke. ā
"Yes, yes, I was born as a Tang Dynasty and died as a Tang ghost, how could I betray my family and country and survive for a long time?"
"That's right, that's right, how can we let people go and be in the company of such beasts? That's ridiculous. ā
"Hehe, what's more, Li Duzhong is a brute, he didn't keep his promise and killed my Tang officials and people, and now he uses this trick to divide my brothers in the army, it's really stupid."
ā¦ā¦
The officers and men in the army all sneered, and no one responded to Li Qianzhong's words, looking at him as if he was looking at a fool.
Seeing this scene, no matter how thick-skinned Li Qianzhong was, he couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "You are a group of stubborn people, since you are so stubborn, then wait for death, I want to see how this group of people died miserably, don't beg me when the time comes." ā
And seeing the other party's indifferent faces, Li Quanzhong's heart suddenly had a deep sense of frustration, he really didn't expect these Tang people to be such a single, causing his plan to fail to succeed.
It was the reason why Li Quanzhong lured the Tang people down, naturally not to give them a way to live, but to gather these prisoners of war and come to a collective pit to kill, on the one hand, to boost their own morale, on the other hand, it was also to fight the Tang army, but unfortunately the Tang army was determined and not fooled at all, which made him helpless.
In the end, Li Qianzhong decided not to bother anymore, and waited for the Tang army to be completely cut off from food, and then begged to surrender to his side, or seemed to break through, and at that time, I believe that even if the Tang army wants to fight, it is already powerless, and it is absolutely like meat on the chopping board for him to slaughter.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a dull sound not far away, Li Qianzhong couldn't help but wonder, he didn't know what the situation was, he groaned slightly, and ordered the scouts around him to investigate.
After just a stick of incense, he saw a scout returning, and while galloping on horseback, he shouted loudly: "Great Khan, it's not good, Tang thief, Tang thief has come to reinforcements, there are people in all directions, at least hundreds of thousands, we, we are going to finish......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the scout fell headlong to the ground, with a dozen feathered arrows stuck in his back, and his entire back was already red......
"What? Yes, it's the reinforcements of the Tang thief? How is this possible? It's only been a few days? Where did the Tang thieves suddenly appear more than 100,000 people? And it's all over the place, this, this is clearly premeditated. But how could the Tang thief know that I have ambush soldiers here? When Li Qianzhong heard this, he suddenly barked loudly like a dog with his tail stepped on. (To be continued.) )
