Chapter XXXVIII. Withdrawal ...... Showdown

readx;

Hou Junji has already persuaded Yi Nan, as the male lord of the grassland, Yi Nan can see farther than Dadu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although he didn't know why things had developed to this point, he knew that Hou Junji was powerful. The reason for the defeat was not because Hou Junji's ability was insufficient, but because he felt that Hou Junji was accustomed to commanding the Tang army, which regarded military orders as everything, and was not used to the lazy Xue Yantuo soldiers and horses. He was convinced of his judgment and had given him the power to stop Dadu from sending troops.

Hou Junji planned to use the power given by Yi Nan to let Dadu set up to accept it when he saw it, but today he was shaken when he saw the head of this Qi Qi He Li.

If that's a ploy, it's.

He Li is a famous general with both wisdom and bravery, and has made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty. Now is not the time for life and death, and the Tang Dynasty has no reason to sacrifice the famous Qibi He Li in exchange for victory. What's more, the key to the real victory in this battle lies in the four-way army of Zhang Shigui, Li Daliang, Li Xiyu, and Zhang Jian, even if Li Ji does not win all the way, as long as he drags Xue Yantuo's main force, the task will be completed. There is no need to sacrifice the life of a famous general in exchange for a victory.

This simply doesn't make sense and doesn't make sense.

Unless all this is true, Qi Qi He Li really betrayed the interests of Datang in order to save his mother. Only in this way can the death of Qi Qi He Li make sense and say the past.

Hou Junji's popularity in the Tang Dynasty was not good, he could be heart-to-heart and heart-to-heart for his henchmen, but he was lukewarm to others, and few people liked him and were willing to have a deep friendship with him. He Li fought with Hou Junji several times. As for Qi Bi He Li, Hou Junji only understands his strategy, and he really doesn't know much about his character preferences. The only thing that can be affirmed is that Qibi He Li is very loyal and filial, and it is impossible for him to betray the Tang Dynasty.

If Qi He Li didn't die, Hou Junji categorically didn't believe it, but now that Qi He Li is dead, he turned his back on the Tang Dynasty for his mother, although there was a reason, but he couldn't forgive himself as a traitor, and ended his life. In this way, the loyalty of Qi He Li and the filial piety of Qi He Li are reflected.

This has also become the style of Che Mo Ho Li.

Hou Junji's eyes lit up, so to speak, the Tang army really had ten days of food, and the outcome seemed to be decided.

Miao Xu stayed away from the barracks, wiped the tears from his face, and the sad expression disappeared. When he wasn't invited by Duhe, he was a joker. Du Ruhui adopted the orphans left behind by the flooding of the Yellow River, not to provide them like uncles, to eat and live, but to give them a living environment, temporarily for them to eat and live, and let them learn a craft to survive.

The young Miao Xu entered the drama troupe and has a lot of experience in acting, and he is the kind of Oscar-level character. When he is sad, he can laugh and be happy from his heart, and when he is happy, he can also cry and be sad. This time it was able to go so smoothly, and his performance was indispensable, and the expression of grief and hatred of a soldier who had lost his dear general was vividly interpreted.

After Miao Xu confirmed that he did not recognize the tracking, he returned to the barracks and told the truth about the situation.

Du He listened indifferently, the outcome had been decided.

The death of Qi Bi He Li is naturally fake. The dead person was just a captive captured a few days ago, and Du He found a character with a face and skin color that was roughly imaginable by Qi He Li, and handed it to Li Xueyan, asking her to dress the captive as Qi He Li, and then cut off the captive's head.

Li Xueyan's disguise technique is ingenious, after his disguised captivity, it is almost printed in the same mold as Qibi He Li, from the style and face shape to the hairstyle and black mole, all of which are exactly the same, not to mention that Du He can't recognize it, even if it is Qibi He Li himself, he feels that he is looking in the mirror.

made up such a touching story, Hou Junji and Dadu are not fooled, and there will be no heavenly reason.

Du He found Li Ji and expressed his intention to attack.

This is also the tactic that Du He decided to adopt when discussing with Li Ji. They plan to win the battle, but in order to be able to make Xue Yantuo and Dadu set an indomitable step into their trap, they still need to make a final effort.

What should I do if the food and grass are gone?

Withdraw, that's the best thing to do.

But if the Tang army withdraws, will Xue Yantuo chase after him?

Definitely not.

Because the Tang army still has ten days of food, the current Tang army still has the strength to fight, and Dadu is not stupid enough to fight the Tang army quickly in this situation. The key problem is that the Tang army cannot withdraw, and Xue Yantuo can not pursue, and has completely occupied the initiative in the battle.

Why?

The main task of the Tang army led by Li Ji and Du He was not to break the enemy, but to clamp down on Xue Yantuo's main army of 100,000. Once Li Ji and Du He retreated, it meant that the 100,000 main army had their hands and feet freed up, and they could clean up the remaining four-way Tang army in a bright way.

Therefore, once Li Ji withdrew his troops, it would directly lead to the failure of this expedition against Xue Yantuo.

There is no way to withdraw, the only way is to attack, as long as Xue Yantuo can be defeated within ten days, and Xue Yantuo's cattle and sheep materials are taken, then all problems can be solved.

So in addition to escaping, war is also a way. Of course, the Don army had to achieve victory in a limited few days.

If you can't win, and the food and grass are in a hurry, then what awaits you is failure.

The Tang army was unwilling to sit still, let alone retreat like this, resulting in the defeat of the Tang Dynasty's Northern Expedition army.

Under the personal leadership of Li Ji, nearly 80,000 Tang Army warriors launched a crazy offensive against Xue Yantuo.

If it was Hou Junji who was in command, Li Ji would definitely not dare to take such a risk, but magnanimity would be another matter.

Dadu's ability to command the three armies is far more than a grade different from Hou Junji's, and it cannot be compared with Li Ji.

In the face of Li Ji's onslaught, Dadu set seemed to be restrained and couldn't be used at all.

At first, there was a sense of attacking a few battles, but in the end it could only be passively defended.

Dadu was angry in his heart, but he didn't think that it was his own lack of ability, but he met the Tang Army, who swore to fight to the death and blessed the strength of various attributes.

tireless, life-and-death bloody battle for six days. The Tang army finally retreated, and as the attacking side, it slowly chose to retreat with fewer casualties than the defenders.

The Tang army withdrew, and the withdrawal was extremely rapid.

Without food and grass, you can't fight quickly, so you naturally have to retreat.

If you hold on, you will only end up in a situation where the whole army will be destroyed.

Du He was appointed as the post of the rear army of the palace, responsible for intercepting Xue Yantuo's pursuers.

Of course, Dadu will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Tang army's food barely lasts for ten days, but after six days of continuous fighting, the physical strength of the soldiers is too huge, and the amount of food will also increase. These six days of assault were enough to consume ten days' bread.

In order to expand the results of the battle, Dadu dispatched all his troops and horses to pursue in the south.

The army was mighty, like a long dragon, and pounced on the retreating Tang army with teeth and claws.

Xue Yantuo's speed was indeed worthy of his reputation, but he had only pursued for a day and a half, and he had already approached the palace army where Du He was.

"Retreat to the Saiyin Shanda River......" Du He made a fledging appearance, intending to take advantage of the terrain there to meet Xue Yantuo's army.

When Dadu set heard the news and learned that the palace army was Du He, he immediately shouted excitedly, and the Tang army was cornered. Using the deputy marshal of the three armies as the commander of the palace is undoubtedly a move to jump over the wall in a hurry, as long as the palace army of Du He is defeated, the Tang army will inevitably fall into a situation of total annihilation.

Looking at the sun setting in the west, Dadu set up a proud shout: "When the sun rises tomorrow, I will capture Du He and the horse, and let him lead the horse for me...... "Du He is recognized as a young generation in both the Tang Dynasty and the grassland, and the most outstanding talent, no one can compare."

He admits that Du He's martial arts are above him, but he doesn't think that he, who has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, will lose to Du He, a recruit who has only fought a few battles, in the military. Today is the time to prove his victory over Duho......

He shouted orders to the three armies, followed behind Duhe, and approached closely.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Du He was caught up by Xue Yantuo's army in the upper reaches of the Saiyin Shanda River.

Facing the imposing army of 70,000, the 25,000 palace army led by Du He looked a little shabby.

Losers do not lose the battle, Du He carried Yi Shui on his back, the banner was bright, the barriers were clear, and the backwater array arranged when Han Xin fought King Zhao was put on the line, showing the indomitable intention to die.

Dadu set up also a little insightful, and the prancing horse raised his whip and smiled: "This is a formation created by a strange person named Han Xin among the Han people eight hundred years ago, called the backwater array. The formation is very powerful, but the people who set up the formation lack experience in the battle, but it is quite incompatible with the actual battle situation. You must know that marching and fighting are not static. Han Xin was able to win back then because he had a hidden move. Now that the Tang army is fleeing, Du He is copying the ancient battle formation, which is really ridiculous. The Tang army is in a hurry, and he is really desperate, do you think I am the ignorant King Zhao? Listen to my orders, kill this Tang army, and collect the victory......"

The surrounding warriors roared, howling like thousands of wolves together!

Xue Yantuo's soldiers were fearless and slaughtered the camp arranged by Du He.

Du He also gave the order to meet the attack at the right time.

As the sound of the clashing blades sounded, the cavalry of the two sides came into contact head-on, and large pieces of blood and corpses fell from the horses to the ground, and were immediately trampled into flesh by countless war horses.

Dadu Design understands some Han culture, but is not proficient. He fought mostly with that experience and the strengths of Xue Yantuo's cavalry. Du He did not have enough combat experience, but he grew up under the guidance of Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji and other three masters of the art of war.

His ability to arrange troops is not as good as that of a famous general like Hou Junji, but it is more than enough to deal with the magnanimity of those who are not good at it.

At first, I felt a little new, after all, it was the first time to fight this kind of battle. It's a pity that Dadu is not Hou Junji, and he didn't notice the flaws.

Over time, with the continuous change of the backwater array, he became more and more comfortable in commanding.

Under the control of Du He, the backwater array is like a living one, and the essence of the formation is embodied.
