I see!

Zhao Deyan's face was shocked and angry, he stood stunned for three breaths, came back to his senses and said to Xiao Rui below: "The sound of the east and the west, the Hou Ye is good." Under the night attack, we can counterattack the opponent in a panic and force us to return to help. Good hand to surround Wei and save Zhao! Zhao De was convinced. ”

"Come, Mingjin, the city will burn the fire as a signal, and call the Great Khan back."

Xiao Rui arched his hand and laughed: "Zhao Junshi, I agreed." ”

"Come on, hurry up and send an order to General Su to stop the siege."

Both sides seem to be gentlemen's deeds, but they are full of scheming.

Jieli fought against the water this time, and after leaving the city, he closed the four gates, and did not think about retreating. Even if he came back, he had to return to the city with a big victory, and triumphantly from the main gate in the south.

Zhao Deyan knew that there was no one available in the city, all of them were remnants of the defeated army, and the stalemate was really broken through the city, so this night attack, Jieli was defeated even if he won.

And Xiao Rui is also bluffing, Su Lie only has 10,000 people, even if he breaks through and enters the city, he will have to fight a bloody battle to gain a foothold.

If it weren't for Su Lie's cavalry, he was born in infantry and had been working as a coolie for a long time, and he was a special cavalry team that was good at siege and fighting. I changed to other serious cavalry teams, and when I saw Dingxiang City with four gates closed, it was difficult to attack the city.

But even if it's like this now, even if Su Lie wins. The Tang army camp was also scattered, and when Jieli turned back and led people to recapture Dingxiang, the Tang army in the city was insufficient and could not hold it sooner or later.

So tonight is a game, everyone is fighting each other's wits and courage, and no one wants to fight to the death. You can lose both, but you can't burn both.

"Withdraw your troops!" Xue Li turned his horse's head and ordered a retreat.

Zhao Deyan, the head of the city, shouted: "Hou Ye, I know that Hou Ye is here to take revenge." But now that both of you and I have suffered heavy losses, and if we stand down, there will be more casualties, and the people will suffer, so why bother? Anyway, you are here to save the prince, and the prince has already been rescued, so why don't you quit the army and truce? Zhao begged you once on behalf of the people of the two countries. ”

Xiao Rui scolded secretly, what a trick! Fortunately, it was the soldiers of the Liang State who came with me, not the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

With a cold snort, Xiao Rui said without retreating: "Yes!" If you don't want me to declare a personal vendetta, then let Jieli himself come and lead his death in front of me, and I can treat it as a personal grudge between the two of us. ”

You......

Zhao Deyan was speechless, and said after a deep sigh: "Why bother? After tonight, Datang's troops are even more insufficient. We will hold on to Dingxiang, and when it snows heavily this winter, you will have to retreat, wasting money, food, and strength in vain. Hou Ye is known as a virtuous person, how can he be so stubborn? ”

Xiao Rui said hatefully: "Why don't you let your wife and children be tied up once?" Look at Zhao Junshi, how do you react? Is it to swallow your anger and become a saint? Or will you devote your life to revenge? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let Jieli wash his neck and wait, Lao Tzu will kill him sooner or later! Messing with me Xiao Rui is the most wrong decision in his life. ”

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and walked away.

Zhao Deyan sighed, knowing that this matter can't be good, alas, Da Khan, buying a murderer to assassinate Xiao Rui is definitely a stupid trick, who is not good to provoke, do you have to provoke this evil star?

But on second thought, it's not right...... It doesn't seem that we provoked him first, it was he who slaughtered the royal court in the grassland, and we were looking for you to take revenge.

What the hell is this? When is the time for retribution?

"Report! The Great Khan, the head of Dingxiang City caught fire. ”

Jieli, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, looked back, "It's not good, it's dangerous, someone is attacking the city." Withdraw, return to Dingxiang! ”

After shouting, he hatefully glanced back at the old Li Jing who was close at hand, and scolded, "Count your fate, sooner or later Ben Khan will take your life." ”

Old Li Jing didn't speak, but looked at Dingxiang City in the distance, how could a good one catch fire? Someone is attacking the city? But our men have been scattered, and how can we have the strength to attack the city? Where did the reinforcements come from?

The head of Hou Jun next to him breathed a sigh of relief, "Dashuai, it's so dangerous!" Is it reinforcements coming? ”

Old Li Jing shook his head and said that he was not clear, "Summon, beat the drum to gather troops, clean the battlefield, and treat the wounded." ”

"Where is Li Ji? Ordered you to gather 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in the north to prevent Jieli Huima from attacking again. ”

After this battle, Lao Li Jing also had to be cautious, and he still underestimated Jieli before. I have fought countless battles in my life, and I have never been so embarrassed as tonight.

Soon the two sides of the fight separated and went home, Su Lie also joined Xiao Rui and others, and made a detour back to the Tang army camp, until then everyone knew that Xiao Rui did not leave, but led the troops to Dingxiang City.

A good move to change tactics, attacking the enemy must be saved, worthy of the champion Hou!

It wasn't until the sky turned white that the casualty figures were roughly counted.

In this battle, 40,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, and 5,000 were lost, and the gains were very large. Of course, it was only to kill people, and failed to collect loot.

And the Datang side was injured and killed, nearly 20,000. This is because many people took advantage of the chaos to disperse and flee quickly, otherwise they would only be live targets if they stayed, and they would die more.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Jingju will discuss matters.

"A big battle has wins and losses, and in the battle of being attacked by night, the marshal bears the main responsibility, and will write to the court to ask for guilt."

"Boss, we are all responsible......"

"Marshal, the last general is responsible for the garrison, and the last general should be in charge." Duan Zhixuan stood up.

Old Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't fight." Today's convening is to discuss the next arrangement. The casualties of our army were too great, and there were less than 50,000 soldiers capable of fighting. Even with the soldiers of the Liang State, it is only worth 60,000. ”

"60,000 people, want to storm Dingxiang City? Hehe, unrealistic. There are still 70,000 soldiers and horses in Dingxiang City, and the commander means to retreat. ”

After speaking, he looked at everyone.

But everyone looked at Xiao Rui, and it was obvious that we would all agree to withdraw our troops. Although everyone wanted to capture Jieli and destroy the Turks and make a great contribution. But now 60,000 to 70,000 is still a siege war, and it can't be defeated after all of them are dead.

If it weren't for the revenge of the champion Hou, I'm afraid everyone would have withdrawn long ago. The original plan was to send troops to rescue the prince, but now that the prince has been rescued, why don't you withdraw? If we continue to fight, we will be responsible for wasting money and food.

Xiao Rui understood everyone's expressions, nodded and said, "I agree to strike the war." However, it was requested that the withdrawal of troops be suspended. ”

Old Li Jing took a deep look and asked, "Why?" ”

What the look of the eyes means, you're almost done, and you really want to take so many lives for revenge?

Xiao Rui pondered for a moment and explained: "Let everyone accompany me to take revenge, Xiao Rui is ashamed." But if I don't get rid of it, I can't settle it......"

Old Li Jing interrupted with a reprimanding tone: "As a general, you can't be angry with the teacher, have you forgotten your duty?" ”

He can reprimand Xiao Rui, there is nothing wrong with it. Everyone present, although they are all Xiao Rui's elders, but under the aura of Xiao Rui's champion Hou, they all call Hou Ye. Only Lao Li Jing doesn't need it, according to the relationship between relatives, Xiao Rui has to call grandpa. After all, he married someone else's granddaughter Li Shengnan.

Xiao Rui gave a solemn military salute to everyone present, and said seriously: "The last general has a plan to break the decision, but it is not now, and it needs to wait until winter." So ......"

Old Li Jing flatly refused: "No, there are only such elites left in Datang, and it is impossible for you to fill it with human lives." Even if you are alive, he can't match the national fortune of Datang. ”

Xiao Rui said: "You don't need human lives to fill it!" Give me 10,000 people. The rest of the people, please cooperate with me to withdraw my troops and make a show for the city......"

Xiao Rui lobbied the generals of the Tang Army here.

Jieli in Dingxiang City is also appeasing the patriarchs of other tribes: See? The Tang army is not invincible, the defeat during the day, I will avenge it at night. They want to take away my Dingxiang City, so they will drag it out, and when the snow falls in winter, they will retreat without a fight. Now when he goes out of the city and returns to the grassland, he is a live target, and he may be chased and killed by the Tang army.
