Chapter 63 It is advisable to chase the poor (I)

Kill! Kill! Kill! Li Zhen fought hard, panting like pulling a bellows, although the tall figure was still erect, but the footsteps had begun to float, the speed of the sword had slowed down, and the arm sank as if it had been filled with lead, and at this moment Li Zhen's whole body was covered with blood, like a bloody man, and he couldn't see the original color at all. If he could lie down and rest, Li Zhen would have fallen to the ground a long time ago, but unfortunately he couldn't, in the face of the wolf camp sergeant who was constantly attacking, Li Zhen could only desperately insist, mechanically out of the sword, and then out of the sword, but just when Li Zhen was physically and mentally exhausted, a turning point appeared, with a terrible horn sound in Xue Yantuo's army, the wolf camp soldiers who were fighting desperately at the head of the city retreated from the city and retreated from the city, and withdrew to Xue Yantuo's army.

Well? What's going on? Li Zhen looked at the slowly retreating array of Xue Yantuo's army in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and she was suddenly happy in her heart - haha, the plan is complete! The main force of the Tang Dynasty must have defeated Xue Yantuo's ambush, and it should not be far from here! Pursuit? As soon as the wolf battalion retreated from the city, Li Zhen leaned weakly on the battlements of the city wall, panting heavily, as for the other officers and soldiers, they all fell to the head of the city at this time, and there were not a few who passed out, how could they talk about pursuing the enemy.

This world is like that - some people are happy and some people are worried, Li Zhen is proud, and Dadu Sheke is worried, since receiving the news sent by Wu Bana, Dadu Shek has been flustered, but when he thought that he might be able to capture Li Zhen alive with a little more effort, he still gritted his teeth and persisted for a long time, until several rangers who desperately came out of Sha Camel Ridge sent accurate news - Sand Camel Ridge fell, and the whole army of Wu Ba Na had broken up in the direction of Shuozhou, Dadu She no longer dared to delay, Although I know that I may be able to break through the Shenwu with a little more strength, but what can I do, even if the city is broken, it is not easy to capture Li Zhen, who is incredibly skilled in martial arts, if Li Zhen is allowed to escape, once the main force of the Tang army arrives, it will become a generous siege to defend the lonely city, how can Xue Yantuo's cavalry defend the city to block the siege of the main force of the Tang army, this kind of self-sinking practice is not the consistent style of Dadu.

"Governor, what's going on? Our troops have already attacked, why do we order the withdrawal of troops? "Tudu Mi, the commander of the Hui Ministry, was not active in attacking the city, and he was the first to retreat, and as soon as he returned to the Chinese army, he immediately asked confidently.

"Yes, the city is about to be broken, and the Metropolitan Governor will have to wait for an explanation for me." The commander of the servant department, Tong Jin Yeda, also helped on the side.

At this time, seeing that these two guys who did not work hard instead asked about themselves, they suddenly became angry, their faces darkened, and they calmed down, glanced at the commanders of the two departments, and sighed and said: "The two of you don't know, Niutouling and Dancao Gorge have been defeated, the Tang army is coming, our army can't stay for a long time, we have to withdraw to Shuozhou first and then make plans, what do you think?" ”

How is it? At this time, when they heard that the main force of the Tang Army was coming, how could they dare to stay more, even if they gave them a few more guts, they did not have the courage to fight with the main force of the Tang Army, their faces were frightened and green, they glanced at each other, and each hurriedly said: "The Metropolitan Governor is wise, I will withdraw as soon as possible, right?" ”

Dadu set his face nodded calmly, and said in a deep voice: "Even if you want to withdraw, our army can't all withdraw immediately, if the Tang army in the city takes advantage of our army's retreat to launch a surprise attack and entangle our army, once the main force of the Tang army arrives, won't my retreating army be driven to herd sheep, so good, your second department will set off immediately, and withdraw to Shuozhou first, the governor has ordered the Wubana Department left in Shuozhou to send troops to respond, and the governor has led the Chinese army to press the formation to ensure the safety of the retreat of the two, go and prepare." ”

The matter of the ambush on the Shahuling Ridge of the Ubana Department is a private arrangement of Dadu, and the commander of the second department does not know, so he naturally does not know that the Wubana Department has already been defeated, at this time, he heard that Dadu's words are reasonable, although he has some doubts about Dadu's intentions, but at this time people are panicked, how can they care about asking more, they each saluted, and hurriedly ran back to their own camp, and they didn't care about packing their baggage, and hurriedly led the army to flee in the direction of Shuozhou. Not long after the withdrawal of the two divisions of Hui and Fugu, Xue Yantuo's army, which was always facing Shenwu City, was on guard as if facing a great enemy, but it was different from the route taken by Hui and Fugu - Xue Yantuo's army took the direction of Kaiyang City, and the speed was extremely fast, and the nearly 80,000 army walked away in less than two pillars of incense, leaving only an empty camp, and then there were some wounded and sick people who were wailing in the camp.

The enemy army has withdrawn, and all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army at the head of the city are lying on the ground as if they have been released, and even the strength to cheer is gone, of course, many of the surviving officers and soldiers still have a victorious smile on their faces, only Li Zhen not only did not smile, but frowned, and his heart sank for a while, not because of the heavy casualties, but because of the ruthlessness of the Dadu set - the withdrawal of the Dadu set was expected by Li Zhen, but there was nothing to say, even if the Dadu set to let Hui Su, It is not surprising that the second department of the servant Gu will be a substitute for the dead ghost, this article is what the general should do, but it is not easy to resolutely withdraw the army when he is about to capture Shenwu, and there will not be too many people who can resist such a temptation, after all, with a little more effort, the city can be broken, and it may really be possible to capture Li Zhen alive before the main force of the Tang army arrives, and at that time, the Tang army that throws the mouse bogey weapon has no other way than to make way - no one in the generals of the Tang Dynasty has the courage to really take Li Zhen's life as a bet, What if you win? trapped Li Zhen to death, even if Li Shimin didn't say anything, but he was worried in his heart, when the time should be thrown out, it would be a big crime, and no one would be stupid enough to exchange their lives for a little illusory glory, right? At least Li Ji, who is known for his safety, would not do such a thing.

Oh, this kid is really a fucking character, grandma's, he runs pretty fast, shit, this time it's really a little spared! Although Li Zhen has never seen Dadu set up his person before, but he has done a lot of research on this person - because the "Yan Ji Firm" has trade contacts with various departments outside the Saiwai, Li Zhen's "Rising Sun" has also penetrated into the grassland, and has collected things on the grassland, of course, as the great prince of Xue Yantuo, Dadu set must be the object of focus of the "Rising Sun", and several conquests of Dadu Set are recorded in detail in the "Rising Sun", so Li Zhen is no stranger to things on the grassland, I also have a good understanding of the way of using troops in Dadu, which is the root cause of Li Zhen's ability to prescribe the right medicine to set up a trap for Dadu, but Li Zhen still missed two - Dadu's ability to make decisions, Li Zhen didn't expect Dadu to be so decisive and dare to give up the upcoming "victory"; The second is the combat effectiveness of the wolf camp, although Li Zhen has long known that the wolf camp is fierce, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce, it is precisely because of the existence of these two items that Li Zhen's confidence in whether he can capture Dadu set this time began to waver.

Shuozhou is a place of death, this one is clear to both Dadu and Li Zhen, at this moment the main force of the Tang Army must have divided its troops to attack Shuozhou, and the main force is rushing to Shenwu, Hui and Fugu are just going to die on the Shuozhou Road, and they will definitely not be able to confront the main force of the Tang Army, and the Tang Army in the direction of Kaiyang will not be able to take care of it for a while and a half, so Kaiyang can go, but well, Li Zhen has long expected that Dadu will go to Kaiyang once he sees that the situation is not good, and he has already arranged the corresponding people to block the road of Dadu- There are two roads out of the Kaiyang direction: one is to kill the tiger's mouth, at this time the tiger's mouth has fallen into the hands of the Tang army, although there are not many defenders, but it is not easy to capture it immediately, once the main force of the Tang army arrives, the main force of Xue Yantuo who is trapped in the city is only afraid that it will be difficult to escape the end of the whole army, this road is not passable; The second road is Yungang, because the Great Wall in the direction of Yungang is in disrepair, it has long been dilapidated, and it is not a natural danger, it is just a grassland of Pingchuan, although Xue Yantuo walked here is a detour, but a small number of Tang troops want to hold Yungang but it is absolutely impossible, therefore, Dadu set only to take Yungang a way. Li Zhen has already calculated this point, and has already arranged the people, that is, the Datong garrison, a total of more than 20,000 Datong defenders to annihilate Xue Yantuo's army is impossible, but it is not difficult to delay Xue Yantuo's marching speed, but now Xue Yantuo has withdrawn earlier, it is difficult to say whether the Datong defenders can arrive in time, without him, in order to confuse Xue Yantuo's exploration horses and ensure the smooth progress of the battle, Datong's soldiers and horses rushed to Yungang after the battle started, the second point is that the combat effectiveness of the wolf camp is too strong, The Datong defenders are okay to defend the city, but whether they can block the impact of the wolf camp in the field battle Li Zhen really has no idea in his heart.

Dadu set this person is definitely a powerful character, Li Zhen faintly felt that this person would bring endless troubles to the Tang Dynasty, and really wanted to take advantage of Dadu's fledgling to kill this wing, but unfortunately Li Zhen was powerless at this time, and he had no soldiers under him, so he could only watch Dadu set leave calmly, except for praying in his heart that the Datong defenders could successfully entangle Dadu, but there was no other way, looking at the direction where Xue Yantuo's army left for a while, Li Zhen sighed and turned back, After all, there are still a lot of pacification matters after the war, and there is no time to let Li Zhen think about it.

The grace of saving lives should be reciprocated, although Li Zhen does not fully agree with this in her heart, but well, the posture still has to be done, and you can't let people point to the backbone and scold, no, the first thing Li Zhen did when she turned around was to go to the nobody who saved her life, and asked very kindly: "What is your name, who is it?" ”

Poor little soldier He had talked to a person like Li Zhen, as soon as he heard Li Zhen ask, in a hurry, his face was flushed, and he couldn't speak, how could he still have the kind of desperate fight on the battlefield just now, and he said with a red face and red ears for a long time: "Yu, Yu Palace, Your Highness, the little and villain's surname is Liu, no name, Xingqi, the big guys are called Liu Qi, I am from Jimo in the mountains and Shandong." ”

Hehe, this kid is still shy, interesting! Li Zhen was amused by Liu Qi's hurried and uneasy appearance, and looked at Liu Qi with interest for a while, seeing that Liu Qi was blushing, lowering his head, and panting in a panic.

Ha, I'm not going to tease you. There are still a lot of things waiting for Li Zhen to deal with, and seeing that Liu Qi is cramped and uneasy at this time, Li Zhen laughed and said: "Liu Qi, what do you want to say to this king." ”

Aspiration? The meaning of Li Zhen's words is obvious, that is, Liu Qi only needs to make a request, Li Zhen will definitely do it as long as he can do it, although Liu Qi is a shy boy, he is not a fool, he naturally understands the meaning of Li Zhen's words, raised his head, his eyes showed a hint of longing, and said loudly: "I want to be a team!" ”

What? Team positive? It's as simple as that? When Li Zhen heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and asked with a smile: "Tell me the reason, this king is very curious." ”

"Uncle Bu wants to be the team, but he died to save me, so I want to be the team leader for him." Liu Qi said with a stiff neck.

"Oh." Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, this king will let you be the team, and when you come back to find this king, how about going to the king's barracks to be the team first?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Qiguang was so happy that he even forgot about his gratitude, grinning and laughing, and Li Zhen couldn't cry or laugh, but there were many things at this time, but Li Zhen didn't bother to say anything, turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, there was a sudden smoke and dust on the mountain road outside the city, and it was obvious that a large group of people and horses were galloping towards Shenwu City......
