Speaking of this, Sanger sighed and said, "I'm not worried about this giant crossbow, the giant crossbow is dead, and people are alive. I'm worried about the guy who set up the formation, he has some tricks, and it looks like we've got an opponent. ”

Li Dayu was puzzled and said, "Great Wizard, where did you know that? ”

Sanger pointed to the miserable mess in front of the circular car formation and said: "You see, although this person's giant crossbow blocked our attack, he also caused the Tang soldiers in front of the car formation to be killed and wounded, which is not something ordinary people can do." ”

Li Fuhuo nodded and said, "Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it." ”

In the circular car formation, Xue Ne pointed at Li Tao and said angrily: "King Lantian, how can you be so careless about the life of the Tang Dynasty sergeant?"

Li Tao was not angry, but just glanced at Xue Ne: "It's not that I careless about their lives, I have already sent Wang Haibin to order the rout to detour from both sides of the car formation in front of the formation, and many people have bypassed from both sides, and these people have rushed straight to the car formation regardless of the need to escape for their lives, what is it that they are not looking for death?" ”

Wang Haibin echoed on the side: "Metropolitan Governor, what King Lantian said is right, it is indeed the case!" ”

After hearing this, Xue Ne couldn't help but be a little speechless, and he said, "Can't you just let them enter the car formation before firing arrows?" ”

Li Tao looked at Xue Ne for a long time before saying, "I only understand one thing now, Your Majesty made a complete mistake to let you be the commander of this expeditionary army. Before entering the Nantai Valley, I sent someone to remind you, but in the end, it was still a thousand miles away. I'm going to set up a formation here and shoot all the people in front of me. It was to save the lives of these defeated soldiers. I don't know if you don't understand or pretend to be confused, if I let the sergeant in front enter the car formation, won't the Khitan army also attack the car formation. Once the car formation is broken, there are pursuers in the back, and the Xiaoluan River in front of them, how many of these people can survive? Can't you weigh which is more important? ”

Xue Ne listened and was silent for a long time.

"Little master, I've found him!" Wolf Thirteen whispered from the side.

Li Tao's face turned cold. He commanded, "Bring him up." ”

Wolf Thirteen escorted the embarrassed Li Sijing up.

Li Tao glared at Li Sijing angrily: "I sent someone to ask you to send scouts, did you send them?" ”

Li Sijing's face was dead, and he shook his head.

"I'll ask you to send men to occupy the valleys on both sides first. Did you do it? ”

Li Sijing still shook his head.

"I asked you to distance the cavalry from the infantry, and after all the cavalry had passed through the Nantai Valley, let the infantry cross the valley, did you do that?"

Li Sijing still shook his head.

Li Tao sighed and said, "One will be incompetent." Exhausting the three armies. Even if I behead you on the spot, I won't be able to save so many unjustly killed soldiers. ”

Li Kailuo defended Li Sijing on the side and said: "King Lantian, this can't all be blamed on General Li, this time the Khitans took the lead by surprise, and the sudden appearance of hundreds of wolves made the front army's war horses frightened and uncontrollable, and then the Khitans followed and killed, which caused a comprehensive rout." ”

Li Tao's eyes widened: "Since it is a battle between the two armies." Do you still expect the other person to tell you what tricks they use to prepare you in advance? It's ridiculous. If he sends scouts. Even if the other party drives the wolf to attack the formation, he will find out in advance, how can he be so embarrassed if he is prepared? If he occupies the valleys on both sides, he can hold back the Khitan cavalry from a high position, delay their pursuit, and not let them cut down our soldiers at will behind the ass. If the cavalry passed through the valley first, and did not connect with the infantry from head to end, even if the horses were frightened, they would not trample on the infantry, how could they cause such large casualties? ”

What Li Tao said is true, not only Li Kailuo, but also Xue Ne, Wang Haibin and others cannot refute it.

"Wolf drive?" Speaking of this, Li Tao seemed to remember something, and he asserted: "It will not be someone else who can have this ability, it must be the Turkic great wizard Sanger." ”

Xue Ne was surprised on the side: "Why is King Lantian so sure? ”

"I have been to the court of the Turks and dealt with this great sorcerer of Sangar, and his ability to drive away wolves is unmatched. The fact that the Great White Sun can drive wolves and attack the formation must be the masterpiece of this Sanger Great Wizard. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tao Zhengse said to Xue Ne: "Governor Dadu, this expedition has failed, as for how you and General Li Sijing deal with it, we will listen to Your Majesty's will in everything." Now the battlefield here is taken over by my Luzhou regimental training, I am responsible for blocking the Khitan Xi cavalry, you are responsible for gathering the remnants, leading them to quickly cross the Xiaoluan River, and withdraw to Danzhou to rest! ”

Xue Ne hesitated: "But, King Lantian, your Luzhou regiment only has 800 cavalry, how can you resist the opponent's 30,000 cavalry?" ”

Li Tao smiled faintly: "Don't worry, if they want to cross the Xiaoluan River, they can only step on my Li Tao's corpse, and I won't let them succeed easily." ”

Xue Ne wanted to say something, but Li Tao waved his hand and said: "Old Xue, don't fight, the faster you retreat, the safer I will be here, don't delay any longer." ”

After saying that, Li Tao turned his head and said: "Uncle Yue, you go to assist Lao Xue to organize all the personnel to cross the river, and after they leave, we will have no worries, so we can let go here." ”

Li Tao spoke domineeringly, which made everyone look sideways.

"Alright, you guys go!" Li Tao waved his hand and ignored them.

"Grand Governor, please!" Pei Yue said on the side.

Xue Ne sighed, turned around and walked towards Xiaoluanhe, Li Kailuo, Li Sijing, Wang Haibin and others were also silent, and walked towards Xiaoluanhe with their own people.

When he arrived at the Xiaoluan River, Pei Yue couldn't help frowning as he looked at the chaotic scene of crossing the river. He said to Xue Ne: "Governor, hurry up and let them stop, so many people, crossing the river in such a disorderly manner is not only time-consuming, but also easy to cause greater casualties!" ”

"Bigger casualties? How so? Hadn't the enemy's cavalry been stopped by the chariot array of the Lantian King? Wang Haibin lost his voice.

"It's not the enemy's cavalry, the little master is worried that the Khitans have already intercepted the flow upstream, and if they suddenly release the water, the consequences will be unimaginable."

As soon as Xue Ne heard this, his face changed, if it was really a flood upstream, the only wooden bridge would definitely be washed away, and these people in front of him would not be able to cross the river, even if Li Tao could hold out for two or three days, he would still ...... in the end

Thinking of this, Xue Ne was about to give an order to reorganize the river crossing, but he heard Pei Yue on the side suddenly shout: "It's not good, it's too late, Dadu Governor, let people leave from the bridge, the water has already come down." ”

Everyone looked upstream, and sure enough, a huge wave was pouring down the river.

In an instant, the flood was in front of him, and the Tang soldiers on the bridge also spotted the roaring water dragon attacking him, but it was too late to dodge.

The rushing current mercilessly swept away the wooden bridge over the river, along with the Tang soldiers who were congested on the bridge.

Looking at this scene, Xue Ne and the others couldn't help but close their eyes. (To be continued......)
