Chapter VI Withdrawal of Troops

The effect of lime powder was unexpected, not to mention Wang Xiaohu and Su Dingfang, who were located in the rear, and the lime powder had already spread out, and the effect of blowing in front of them was minimal, and it didn't hurt to be unlucky.

Looking at the cannibalistic soldiers who died in the city, Wang Xiaohu and Su Dingfang looked at me, and involuntarily felt a little fear from the bottom of their hearts. When it comes to charging into battle, they are really not afraid. But the feeling of not being able to see, letting his comrades and fellows hack to death, or having their own brothers' blood on their hands in order to survive, makes people shudder just thinking about it.

"General, the number of opponents is limited, immediately transfer my troops and horses to the city gate to cover and kill." Su Dingfang already had a way to deal with it in his heart, and hurriedly begged for his life.

Wang Xiaohu flatly refused: "No, in this case, sending troops to attack the city is tantamount to death." ”

Su Dingfang smiled bitterly: "The general thinks too highly of Dingfang, how dare Dingfang attack the city in this situation." What he did was nothing more than to force the Tang army back, and how much could be saved. ”

Wang Xiaohu also understood in his heart that things had come to this point, if he sat back and watched the three thousand dead soldiers in the city be slaughtered, how far would the morale would fall, and at that time, this water city would not even want to be taken down, and said in a rough voice: "Be careful, don't fall into it!" ”

Su Dingfang responded confidently, beckoning his soldiers to detour from the left and right flanks, intending to bypass the chaotic Dengcheng dead soldiers and attack the water city directly, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to shout loudly, and the sound of killing was long.

Seeing that the Handong army was coming for reinforcements again, Luo Shixin did not dare to fight for a long time, and called for all the soldiers to withdraw to the city.

Returning to the city, Luo Shixin saw that the newly arrived Handong army did not show any signs of attacking the city, they were far away from the city, and the dead soldiers who were constantly shouting gold and shouting in chaos calmed down and retreated.

Luo Shixin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the other party's purpose was only to save the dead soldiers who had fallen into chaos, and he had no intention of attacking the city, he glanced at the young general who was in the lead, and kept his heart, the other party's move just hit his death hole, forcing him to retreat.

Counting the number of people, there were fifty-three people in their group, and no one was lost. In contrast, the soldiers of the Eastern Han Army suffered heavy losses, not to mention the loss of 800 people, and only a very few of the remaining soldiers had the possibility of being cured and fighting again in the short term, and the rest would lose their combat effectiveness for a long time or even permanently.

That is to say, in this battle, Luo Shixin did not lose a single soldier, killing and wounding 3,000 people of the Handong Army, and the results were not brilliant.

Even though he had to retreat at the last moment, Luo Shixin was still quite satisfied with this ending.

The Tang army was also even more high-spirited because of this fighting spirit.

This time is the other time!

The Tang army was not injured, killing and wounding 3,000 living forces of the Handong army, and the blow to the morale of the Handong army can be imagined, especially the vanguard soldiers who saw the cruel scene with their own eyes were afraid of the small water city.

Death is not unprepared for soldiers, especially when they go to the city, and they pin their heads to the waistbands of their trousers. But even generals like Wang Xiaohu and Su Dingfang secretly felt palpitations, let alone them, an unspeakable heavy atmosphere spread in the army.

"General Wang, the king of Handong has ordered the siege to be stopped, and the general is asked to discuss important matters with the commander's tent!"

Wang Xiaohu frowned and thought about how to break the city, but was unexpectedly summoned by Liu Heimin, handed over the matter to Su Dingfang, and rode his horse to the handsome tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Wang Xiaohu had a different atmosphere, and the people standing on both sides of the tent were the generals who were famous and experienced in a hundred battles: Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Cao Zhan, and Gao Yaxian...... They all stood with their hands down, as if they didn't dare to come out, and even the invincible Song Shena was extremely dull and didn't say a word.

Song Xie Na was a confidant of the Turkic Jieli Khan, a Turkic Qi Jin, that is, the chief of a tribe. As the strongest force, the Turks are most worried about the unification of the Central Plains and the strengthening of the Central Plains. After years of hard work, Li Tang dominated the general trend of the world, and Jieli Khan was deeply disturbed, and he was an enemy of Li Tang everywhere, and funded anti-Tang forces free of charge. Liu Heimin rose in Hebei, and Jieli Khan immediately borrowed horses and soldiers. The 3,000 Turkic cavalry led by Song Shena was the strongest combat force of the Eastern Han Army. Because he looked down on the people of the Central Plains, Song Xiana showed off his might in the Eastern Han Army in peacetime, and he didn't even pay attention to Liu Heimin, which made the generals dare to be angry and dare not speak.

Liu Heimin glanced at Wang Xiaohu silently, and said after a long time: "I plan to give up the water, what does General Wang think?" ”

Wang Xiaohu was shocked in his heart, his mouth was full of bitterness, and he bowed down and said: "The last general is incompetent, and he has the high hopes of the king of Handong!" ”

Liu Heimin waved his hand to get him up, and said: "It's none of your business, Lime Destroys the enemy, who would have thought that at this critical time, Luo Shixin, who is known for his bravery, actually used this indiscriminate method." The current water city is like chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it. With the current situation, if we are again pinned down by the Tang Army, it is really not far from destruction. His blazing eyes swept over the tent, and he said loudly: "I, Liu Heimin, have nothing else, but a heart to avenge King Xia, and 30,000 brothers who are not afraid of death." Since Li Shimin wants to fight, then he will fight. In the battle of Raoyang, we were able to defeat Li Tang's 50,000 army with 15,000 soldiers and horses, and now we have 30,000 soldiers and horses, so why not be afraid of Li Tang's 50,000. ”

Liu Heimin made the last encouragement, and the soldiers in the battalion also cheered in agreement. But I don't know how sincere it is.

Yes, they did once fight Li Tang's 50,000 army with 15,000 soldiers and horses, but at that time, the commander of the Tang army was Li Shentong, and now it is Li Shimin on the other side of the river......

Li Shentong, Li Shimin, can it be the same!

**********

South Shore of the Draining Water!

Li Shimin led several horsemen to stand on a hillside overlooking Liu Heimin's military camp, listening to Du Ruhui's report on his side, Yingwu's face also showed a smile, and his heart was a lot more relaxed.

After many years of fighting, Li Shimin was invincible with his extraordinary military strategy, but this battle can be regarded as the most heartwarming.

He set up a situation step by step, step by step, just waiting for the time to come, and succeed in one fell swoop. The inexplicable heavy snow in the spring disrupted his layout. If it weren't for Luo Shixin's eight days of holding out, allowing him to complete the meeting with Luo Yi and complete the siege of Zhaozhou, his strategy would have ended in nothing.

Now he needs a hearty victory to prove himself.

"Xuan Ling, Keming, what kind of mentality do you say Liu Heimin has when he retreats from the army at this time?"

On Li Shimin's left is Fang Xuanling, on the left and on the right, Fang Mou Du is the two major strategists who make the world cold.

"I can't afford it!" Fang Xuanling chuckled: "The rebel army is only 50,000 soldiers, our army first annihilated Liu Shishan and Zhang Jun's 8,000 troops, and then conquered Zhaozhou, Xingzhou, Jingzhou and other northern prefectures and counties, annihilating more than 6,000 people. In the two-month-long tug-of-war, the Handong army also paid a price of 3,000. The city of Zhushui was attacked, and General Shixin again killed and wounded 6,000 Handong troops. After several calculations, the remaining soldiers of the Handong Army were no more than 30,000 at the top, a loss of nearly half. They don't have the capital to spend it. ”

Regarding the situation of the Han Eastern Army, Fang Xuanling was like a treasure in his heart.

"Withdraw the army, let our army cross the river, and fight to the death under the city of Zhaozhou!" Du Ruhui said a few simple words, and in one sentence broke Liu Heimin's playing style.

Li Shimin pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "It's too naΓ―ve! He was in a good mood, raised his whip and shouted: "Prepare the boat, the lonely king will personally go to the water to meet our great hero!" ”
