Prince Xuanzan's face was haggard, and when he heard this, he said, "Okay. Since you say so, then retreat and stick to it. ”

Li Longji was overjoyed, and his heart finally settled down.

What he feared most now was Prince Xuanzan's reckless actions, because this Tibetan army was already his last reliance, and once he lost it again, he would be in a desperate situation.

Through the previous battles and the effect of the army brought out by Niu Monk and Ru this time, he really felt that the military might of the Tang Dynasty was indeed unstoppable, in fact, from the beginning, he should have started to attack.

The failure of this series of attacks also made Li Longji truly realize the power of the Tang Dynasty and An Lushan.

Li Longji was naturally saddened by this defeat, but what made him most heartbroken was the surrender of Brother Shuhan, the general of Tongguan.

When he learned the news of the second item, he didn't even blame this honest general at all, he hated Gao Xianzhi deeply, and knew that he was an old slippery head.

It is precisely because of this person's selfishness that the good situation was in vain, but he gave up the good Tongguan to An Lushan, and the loss of 100,000 elite soldiers was equivalent to burying half of the imperial court.

As far as the Tang Dynasty at the time of the An Lushan Rebellion was concerned, there were only 200,000 elite soldiers who could be called available, but Tongguan accounted for half, but Ge Shuhan actually surrendered.

Although this was a big surprise to Li Longji, he also knew that Ge Shuhan, who was heavily besieged by Shi Siming, did not seem to have much way to survive except surrender.

Of course, he thought about pouring the soldiers of the Sword Gate to rush to the rescue.

But when he thought about it, when he really asked the soldiers for their opinions, no one was willing to agree.

Even his favorite son, Li Lin, was reluctant to lead troops to save Tongguan.

In the end, he had to dismiss this idea.

He also understands that the 100,000 soldiers of Bashu are his current lifeline, and no one dares to take them out to gamble.

And even if it is sent out, I am afraid that it is no different from the approach taken by Gao Xianzhi, it is just an excuse to delay and deliberately not save it.

Sun Xiaozhe's cavalry has already scared the Li family's troops, not to mention that everyone knows that there are generals such as Cai Xide and Tian Chengsi sent by An Lushan in Tongguan.

With the 100,000 poorly equipped troops of Bashu to meet Shi Siming's elite soldiers, although they are nominally internal and external, it is unknown whether they will be killed or not to fight under Tongguan.

Since the fall of Tongguan, all Li Longji's hopes have been pinned on this Tibetan army.

After all, an army of 100,000 people, and it is cavalry, it is enough to crisscross the Central Plains.

But what he didn't expect was the Tang Dynasty again.

It was this kid who defeated the almost invincible Prince Xuanzan and forced himself to such a point.

By now, Li Longji was really a little short of heroic, and he knew that there was no way out of the way, only to defend the Sword Pavilion, otherwise, he would have to flee to Li Heng's Lingwu.

When the time comes, the emperor, who has lost his family, may no longer be able to stop Li Heng, a rebel son, from becoming the emperor.

With An Lushan and his own great enmity, he will definitely kill himself without his life.

However, it is impossible for him to live the kind of life of wandering and wandering the world, as the emperor of a big country.

He couldn't even think about this day.

……

Three days later, fog filled the sky.

Bashu is steep in the mountains, the plank road winds in the continuous mountains, the terrain is peculiar, and fog like this is commonplace.

Li Longji's army was having breakfast.

During the months when Li Longji retreated to Jianmen Pass, the lack of food and grass has always been the number one problem that plagued him. However, more than half of the gold and silver treasures were used to marry the Tibetans, although this cannot be said to be a waste of money, but after all, the Tibetan soldiers were borrowed.

But it is very difficult to get food and grass.

In the current Jianmen Pass, there is only three months' grain and grass for the 100,000 army, not counting the horse fodder for the cavalry.

Among the 100,000 troops, there were 40,000 cavalry in Xuanzan, and Li Longji only had 60,000 troops, with almost no horses. In this way, the contradiction that had been bothering him appeared again, the grain and grass were insufficient, but the Tubo cavalry had to get the best hospitality, which led to the 100,000 army, which was not strong in combat, was beaten by the Tang Dynasty in Zhang Feixia and lost 50,000 people.

In the past three days, they have already started to save food.

Li Longji's troops ate one full meal a day, while the Tibetan cavalry had two meals a day.

But even so, the generals of the Tibetan soldiers still complained greatly, saying that the treatment they enjoyed was too low.

Li Longji had no choice but to put down the emperor's frame again, and went to the army one by one to appease the internal and external generals and soldiers, and suffered extremely much.

He knew very well that these people would definitely not be used to shrinking their defense at the beginning, but once they had been in it for a long time, they would get used to it.

He had already made up his mind to pay attention to it, and he had to stick to it.

He even hates himself now for not being assertive.

When An Lushan had just rebelled, he had a large amount of gold and silver treasures in his hands, and if he had dug deep holes, accumulated grain, trained soldiers and horses, and did not directly clash with the Tang Dynasty, he would not have been defeated so badly.

When Li Gesang died in the army, and the Tang Dynasty inherited the throne of Nanzhao, he should not be in a hurry to counterattack, but the Bugu Huaien Department of Tubo was defeated by the Tang Dynasty and surrendered to Li Heng's command, and he has been in a state of collapse ever since.

There are also many generals who ask Gao Xianzhi to rescue Tongguan, he shouldn't believe that a small Taohe victory, the Li family already has the ability to counterattack.

At that time, it was better to ask Ge Shuhan to break through, if he succeeded, he would have at least 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands, so that he would not be as embarrassed as he is now.

Then there is the secret attack that Niu monks and children took the initiative to propose.

Originally, it was extremely secretive, and even the march was in extreme secrecy, but the Tang Dynasty seemed to have a prophetic ability, and it was actually surrounded by him, and the casualties were so miserable.

Such a series of lessons also made Li Longji wake up from the pride of a great country emperor.

He is no longer a real emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he can only be regarded as an exiled emperor, if he is not cautious, it will be too late to regret it.

……

What is this thing, why are there so many big birds?

When Li Longji's soldiers first got up that morning, they suddenly saw that the camp was covered with countless large kites.

Each kite has a giant bird painted on its body, some are eagles, some are harriers, and some are swallows.

"Rush!"

With two bangs, a tall bald man appeared behind a large bird, sending out a flag rocket in his hand.

At the same time, he gave the order to attack.

This person is none other than Sheva, the protector of the New Tang Dynasty.

Each of his elite soldiers is a one-in-one martial arts master.

This rush to kill, the soldiers of the Sword Pavilion were suddenly in chaos, because no one would have expected that the army of the Tang Dynasty could actually appear in their own henchmanship.

The Tang Dynasty had already prepared, and as soon as they heard Sheva's code, they immediately led a large army to attack the city.

Although the Sword Pavilion is dangerous, it has greatly lost the advantage of Xiongguan in such a fog, because it is not clear to see the direction of the main attack of the Tang Dynasty, and the most fatal thing is that Sheva opened the way with a thick-backed machete, and looked at the killing on the suspension bridge.

Once this person is allowed to cut open the city gate and let the army of the Tang Dynasty enter, the Sword Pavilion will be finished.

"Hahahaha!"

Tang Chao rode a horse away and laughed at Longduo beside him, "I knew that in such a fog, Li Longji's vision was unclear, and he would definitely desperately release arrows to stop us from attacking, these scarecrows really came in handy." ”

When there was the Tang Dynasty, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was already a household name, and the Tang Dynasty originally felt that it was impossible to borrow arrows with a grass boat, but he didn't expect that in such a fog, he was given the opportunity to deceive Li Longji.

In less than a cup of tea, the Tang Dynasty suddenly beat the drum in person and launched the order for a general attack.

With the strength of the Tang Dynasty at this time, it was easy to judge that Sheva had rushed desperately to the city gate, and of course he had to cooperate with him.

At this time, Xin Baijiang led a vanguard army and braved the rain of arrows to climb the city wall.

Countless ladders were erected, and rows of warriors rushed up, well-armoured, and with round shields in their hands, which greatly reduced the casualties.

Not good!

The headless corpses on the city wall rolled down one by one, and a obedient figure armed with a big sword fought with Xin Baijiang.

This person not only occupies a geographical advantage, but also his martial arts are obviously higher than Xin Baijiang, and after only three moves, Xin Baijing is already in danger.

The Tang Dynasty was in a hurry and gave Rondo a look.

Rondo understood, flew up the ladder, and attacked with a single sword, finally resisting the enemy's attack.

Hmph, the Tang Dynasty saw it more clearly under the city, and sneered: "It's a cow monk and a child." ”

……

The battle outside the Sword Pavilion was undoubtedly fierce.

Although in such a tense situation, Li Longji's position was not chaotic, it can be seen that he has put a lot of effort into defense in the past few months, but after all, it happened suddenly, and he was a little hurried at the beginning, but his first instinct told him that he had to block Sheva and open the city gate.

As soon as the city gate opened, facing the army of the Tang Dynasty, he was finished.

There is another person who can't let go of Sheva, and that is Xuanzan.

As soon as he heard the sound of fighting, he flew to attack Sheva directly.

It's a fierce battle.

What surprised Sheva slightly was that Xuanzan was able to fight with him without falling behind at all.

Li Longji rushed forward with the Heavenly Sword in his hand.

At this time, his eyes were red.

Mom, what kind of magical power did the Tang Dynasty have, and it was really strange that it could send thousands of soldiers to sneak into the Sword Gate Pass quietly.

With a gut feeling, he knew that it was now a critical moment of life and death, and he had to get out of the way.

But Sheva was obviously prepared, shrunk and entered the formation.

The eight hundred warriors behind him somehow formed a circle and grouped together with shield hands holding shields with sharp cuts on the outside.

In the loud bang, the opponent's shield was only scratched on one side, but Sheva had already retreated into the formation and did not fight with Xuanzan and Li Longji.
