Chapter 735: Shandong Shakes (Two Shifts Today)
But soon he knew that the situation in front of him was not something he could save, Li Xin's cavalry was like a sharp knife, breaking into the army, his own soldiers could not resist at all, every time Li Xin attacked, he would take the life of a soldier, behind him, a group of tigers and wolves were even more brave, and Xu Shiji, who had killed, looked stunned, and his complexion changed greatly.
"General, you can't do anything, it's better to retreat quickly." Xu Si, a pro-soldier beside him, said with some worry.
"No, the 50,000 army can't just be lost." In the midst of the chaos, Xu Shiji said in a low voice: "Once the 50,000 army is lost, no one can save me." Quickly, lead the army to resist, don't block Li Xin, attack Zhang Zhenzhou, his soldiers and horses are not elite, and most of them are infantry. ”
Xu Shiji's eyes rolled, and he said to the soldiers beside him: "Xu Si, how does General Ben treat you?" ”
"The general treats the villain like a mountain." The pro-soldiers around him were stunned when they heard this, and quickly reacted.
"Okay, you lead the army to attack Zhang Zhenzhou, and I will lead the army to personally block Li Xin." Xu Shiji's eyes rolled, and he said loudly: "Even if you die in battle today, you have to bite off a piece of meat from Li Xin's body." ”
"General rest assured, the villain will definitely attack Meiling." Xu Sisi said loudly.
"Okay." Xu Shiji's heart was excited, he took off all the armor on his body, and let Xu Si put on the armor, but he was a small soldier decoration, he immediately flew on the horse, turned the horse's head, and killed Li Xin's army on the opposite side, but soon disappeared into the chaos.
And Xu Si's face turned red, and he commanded the army to kill Meiling. For a while, Meiling shouted and killed the sky, although Xu Shiji was attacked, but tens of thousands of soldiers were also an extremely large number, those soldiers saw Xu Shiji's armor in the chaos, and thought that he was leading the army to kill, and they were all fighting up. Killed towards Meiling.
Meiling shouted up and down to kill the sky, blood and fire instantly stained the entire sky, one for glory, the other for his own life, the fight was extremely fierce.
The soldiers of both sides had already been mixed together, that is, after Li Xin's cavalry attacked. It was gradually swept up in it, and the impact gradually became much smaller. If it weren't for Li Xin and Wei Chigong's bravery, I'm afraid they would have fallen into the quagmire.
"Xu Shiji hasn't been found yet?" The early morning dew was very heavy, but Li Xin and others were still searching on the battlefield, and tens of thousands of troops were crushed in the early morning under the joint attack of Li Xin and Zhang Zhenzhou. More than 10,000 troops have been captured, and now the army is being selected, just to see if Xu Shiji can be inside.
"Not yet." Cheng Yanjin said with annoyance. He wanted to capture Xu Shiji alive so that he could increase his military merits!
"I'm afraid he ran away." Li Xin sighed slightly and said. So far, Xu Shiji has not been found. That means the other party has run away.
"Damn, is that kid a loach? You can run away in this situation. Cheng Yanjin said with some dissatisfaction, he also believed that he had not found it until now, which means that Xu Shiji must have run away.
"Your Majesty, Xu Shiji ran away at the beginning, and when His Majesty's cavalry arrived, he saw the opportunity to flee." Zhang Zhenzhou flew over and said to Li Xin: "His own soldiers have been caught by us. They have all confessed. ”
"Xu Shiji even knows this, it's really not easy! That's the case. He ran away, so when will I catch him? Li Xin also sighed slightly after hearing this, Xu Shiji actually wanted to escape when he just appeared, is this not confident in himself? Or fear of yourself. No matter what, Xu Shiji fled again. That's for sure. Next time I want to catch Xu Shiji, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"Your Majesty, now that the army has been defeated by us, the next one is Caozhou, Your Majesty. The minister was willing to lead a large army to capture Caozhou. Cheng Yanjin said loudly.
"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to go." Yu Chigong also said loudly.
Xu Shiji has fled, Caozhou is no one to resist, go at this time, the battle merit is at your fingertips, who of these two guys doesn't want to seize such a feat?
"You also want to take such a small battle feat?" Li Xin said disdainfully: "General Zhang, why don't you go!" Capture Caozhou. ”
"Yes." Zhang Zhenzhou glanced at Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, and saw that their faces were flushed, and the corners of their mouths suddenly showed a smile, the emperor deliberately taught the two of them a lesson, but both of them were Li Xin's confidants and favorite generals, but they didn't like the two of them to compete for merit at this time, but they never thought that this opportunity fell into their hands, but they made themselves a little embarrassed.
"Let's go! Rectify the army and go to Caozhou, I am here, I am afraid that the integration of Shandong will be shaken. Li Yuan didn't even have a chance to sleep. Li Xin understands very well that he appeared in Shandong, once the news is leaked, the whole Li Zhao will become nervous, and the situation will become clearer, and Li Zhao is very clear about his intention to come to Shandong. If you want to seize Shandong, you have to rely on your own ability.
He guessed right, when his side was rectifying the soldiers and horses, Xu Shiji of Caozhou City led the remnants of the defeated army to rush into Caozhou City, and the deputy general Liu Zhi hurriedly met him.
"General, why is this happening?" Liu Zhi looked at Xu Shiji, saw that his armor was crooked, and his face showed worry, he looked behind Xu Shiji, and saw that there were only more than a thousand people, and immediately exclaimed.
"Li Xin is here." Xu Shiji's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth in a low voice and said: "He took advantage of the fact that I was attacking Zhang Zhenzhou, he suddenly attacked from behind, and 10,000 cavalry roared, and in the dark night, General Ben had no chance to resist at all, and all 50,000 troops were defeated by the other party." ”
Xu Shiji was ashamed and angry in his heart, wanting to attack Zhang Zhenzhou in a hurry, thinking that he could defeat the other party and become the master of Shandong's 150,000 army, but what he didn't expect was that this was a trap at all, a bait to lure himself into being fooled, but he was still fooled.
"The army of 50,000 is gone?" Liu Zhi opened his eyes wide, looking at Xu Shiji, looking incredulous, the boss with his mouth open, obviously did not expect that Xu Shiji's army of 50,000 would be buried like this, as if the sky was about to fall in an instant.
"Li Xin is so treacherous, he is still the lord of a country." Xu Shiji said viciously.
He was also frightened in his heart, the 50,000 army was not an ordinary soldier and horse, it was the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, he didn't expect it to be so easy, he was annihilated by Li Xin in one night, such a thing was a big deal, I am afraid that even Xu Shiji and Liu Zhi could not bear it.
"General, what should we do now?" Liu Zhi said a little nervously.
"Li Xin will definitely come to attack Caozhou, we are now under-manned and cannot compete with it, so get out of here quickly." Xu Shiji didn't want to think about it and said: "There are still 100,000 troops in Shandong, Li Xin wants to capture Shandong, things are not so simple, once His Majesty the Emperor knows that Li Xin appears in Shandong, he will definitely send troops to help, we will go to Dongping now, only when we arrive in Yanzhou, can we rely on the tall city wall of Yanzhou to resist Li Xin." ”
Xu Shiji quickly reacted that Li Xin's sudden appearance in Shandong this time had already shown that he coveted Shandong, and it was impossible to change anything because of the defeat of his 50,000 army, and it was Li Xin's goal to seize all of Shandong.
"Give up Caozhou?" Liu Zhi thought about it and had to admit that this was the wisest choice in front of him, there were only five thousand people in Caozhou, which was not enough to resist Li Xin's tens of thousands of troops, whether it was Li Xin or Zhang Zhenzhou, they were all famous generals, and Caozhou was not their opponent.
"Yes, at this time, I can only give up Caozhou. And you have to spread the news of Li Xin quickly, the emperor is waiting! "Xu Shiji doesn't want to control Shandong's 100,000 army at this time, and Li Yuan is already very good if he doesn't kill himself.
"General rest assured, then Li Xin's sudden appearance, obviously he was prepared, with a calculating intention or not, even if the general has more soldiers and horses, he can't resist Li Xin's calculations, don't say it's a general, even if the King of Qin commands an army of 50,000 at this time, I'm afraid this is the result." Liu Zhiquan said: "Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, you must know about this matter, and the general does not have to worry about this matter." ”
Xu Shiji nodded and sighed slightly: "Mao Gong just lamented that he was incompetent, ashamed of his trust in His Majesty, and buried 50,000 troops." Hmph, when I go to Yanzhou, I must take revenge, and I will be ashamed before the snow. ”
"The general is wise." Liu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this. He was afraid that Xu Shiji would simply take refuge in Li Xin because he was worried that he would be punished, so he would be sad, so he hurriedly persuaded for a while.
"Let's go, go to Yanzhou." Xu Shiji stomped his feet violently and said. Now that the decision has been made, Xu Shiji did not hesitate, and immediately took the family with Liu Zhi and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Dongping, leaving Caozhou to Li Xin.
When Zhang Zhenzhou led the army to Caozhou, there was only one empty city, Zhang Zhenzhou posted a list of Anmin on the one hand, and reported to Li Xin on the other hand, asking Li Xin to move to Caozhou.
And Li Xin's soldiers and horses invaded Caozhou, the first confrontation, the news of the annihilation of Xu Shiji's 50,000 army also spread throughout Shandong in an instant, Shandong shook, those righteous troops who were already noisy and uproar broke out again with strong combat effectiveness, raiding the city, killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, for a time all over Shandong was full of smoke, whether it was Cui Mingan who was sitting in Dengzhou, or Li Shentong, or Li Xiaogong and others who suppressed bandits, they were all exhausted by Shandong's affairs, but they didn't know how to do it.
Li Xin's second expedition to Shandong, for a time the world was shaken, some people with lofty ideals have thought that the unification of the world is today, and even many gentry are vying to donate money and materials. Good supply for Li Xin to unify the world. Some heroes and heroes have joined the army, and in Shandong, the morale of Li Zhao's army, which is not very popular with the people, has fallen into a trough. (To be continued.) )
