Xue Wanche led an army of 30,000, quickly crossed the river from outside the south gate, entered the area of ??the south gate, and began to chase around the city. After all, after they crossed the river, the sentry sent back the news that the army led by Liu Heita had gone east of the city.
As soon as Xue Wanche heard the news, he had already chased after him to the east of the city.
In his heart, he wished to kill Liu Heita.
He wants revenge.
Xue Wanche's pursuit naturally fell into the eyes of Li Shimin's army. The soldiers in the army did not see Du Qi thoroughly. What they saw was that they were being unfairly suppressed everywhere.
This again aroused the injustice of the soldiers.
Make everyone angry.
The hostility towards Li Jiancheng is also more obvious in the army.
All of this, Du Qi is happy to see it happen. Instead of reminding him, he told Li Shimin to strictly restrain the soldiers in the army.
When Li Shimin was stationed, Xue Wanche was already chasing after him with troops, quickly shortening the distance. In just over half an hour, they were already far away from Mingshui County, and the army led by Liu Heita gradually slowed down.
Xue Wanche was delighted by such a situation, because Liu Heita's speed slowed down, which proved to be weak for retreat.
"Chase, chase me!"
Xue Wanche ordered again.
He kept ordering the army to chase forward, wishing he could catch up with Liu Heita immediately and kill Liu Heita directly. The 30,000 elites under his command are also full of fighting spirit. The reason is very simple. What they are facing now is a general who has always been defeated.
At this time, the pursuit will definitely win.
Everyone is full of expectations.
When Xue Wanche was pursuing, the army led by Liu Heita in front was indeed getting slower and slower. However, this reduction in speed was not because the army was unable to run, but because Liu Heita did it on purpose.
Liu Heikai looked at the messenger beside him and asked, "How far is the pursuer from us according to the news from the sentry at the rear?"
The messenger said: "It's less than six miles away."
"It's less than six miles away."
Liu Heita was silent, thought carefully and said: "Send the order, and slow down a little bit. As soon as we arrived at Sanjiangkou, we stopped and waited for the pursuers to arrive."
Sanjiangkou, the name is good, in fact, it is two small branch rivers of Mingshui, which diverge in front, forming a pattern of three rivers converging, nothing more.
The army led by Liu Heizai was less than three or four miles away from Sanjiangkou.
This distance is already very close.
Liu Heikai looked at Prime Minister Zhu Zhou at the side, and asked solemnly: "Prime Minister, our people are going to inform the Turkic people near Sanjiangkou, can they answer?"
Zhu Zhoudao: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Turkic people have already replied. Once the pursuers of the Tang Dynasty arrive at Sanjiangkou, they will fight. Moreover, the terrain near Sanjiangkou is a flat plain."
"Such an area is suitable for Turkic cavalry. According to the news sent by the sentry, the soldiers who came to pursue from the rear were not the Xuanjia cavalry led by Li Shimin."
"The army led by Li Shimin did not come to pursue it. The person who came to pursue it was Xue Wanche again. He led 30,000 elite soldiers to pursue him, all of whom belonged to the lineage of Prince Li Jiancheng."
Zhu Zhou replied with a smile.
Liu Heikai sneered and said, "Li Shimin is indeed an outstanding man. He must have guessed that we were retreating, and there might be an ambush, so Li Shimin didn't pursue him. Li Jiancheng, an idiot, actually took the initiative to pursue him. Well, since Li Jiancheng has already arranged If people are chasing you, then take them down."
Zhu Zhoudao: "What Your Majesty said is true, if you don't swallow the fat meat delivered to your door, it will be a pity."
Liu Heita said: "Exactly!"
The two talked and laughed, and led the army to continue to retreat. With the withdrawal of the army, the distance to Sanjiangkou is getting closer and closer. When they came to Sanjiangkou, the army temporarily stationed down.
On the Turkic side, some people also came to discuss.
The people who came here were astonishingly obsessed with thinking.
The person who came to Lai, Hebei this time, lost his mind. After all, he is Xieli's confidant.
? In the second half of last year, Zhi Shili and Jie Li led the army back to Turkic and encountered many difficulties. Especially when Shibobi returned to the grassland, it had a greater impact on Xieli's prestige.
Fortunately, Shibobi didn't have the courage of Xieli, and was frightened by Xieli's remarks that he was dead. In the end, Shibobi returned to his fief and did not have a war with Xieli.
Xieli also took advantage of this opportunity?, recovering quickly, took every opportunity to stabilize the situation.
Xieli has deep resentment towards Datang.
Liu Heita sought help from Jieli, and Jieli arranged for Zhishisili to lead eight thousand cavalry southward and enter the Hebei area.
Persistence lost power but has not acted.
Because he is not needed for the time being.
Seeing Liu Heita, Zhi Shili smiled and said, "King of Han, you still haven't been able to stabilize your fight in Mingshui County this time. If you can stay in Mingshui County all the time, you can continue to consume the power of the Tang Dynasty." .Then your power will become more stable. Because you failed to stabilize the situation, you lost the opportunity."
Liu Heitai flicked his sleeves and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a failure. A place like Mingshui County can't be defended at all. But if you can kill people like Yin Kaishan and Luo Shixin, and even defeat Datang's army, It's enough."
After a pause, Liu Heikai said again: "It is not easy to support until now. And now this retreat can also take advantage of the opportunity to count Tang's army, no matter how you calculate it, you will make a profit. Losing a city, changing I think I have earned the opportunity to ambush Tang Jun again."
Zhi lost his mind and said forcefully: "The King of Han is quite open."
Liu Heikai said: "The fighting on the battlefield, back and forth, the number of times is countless. In my opinion, it is the most powerful if you can persist until the end. Now it's just a loss of a city, nothing. Just like I used to , lost many cities, but in a short period of time, they all got back, and even more. So now, it is nothing."
Zhi lost his mind and nodded.
He also sighed secretly in his heart, Liu Heita is an outstanding man, not an ordinary person.
It is capable to be able to cross Hebei.
Liu Heikai continued: "You have lost your mind, you can go and prepare. When the Tang army arrives, follow my orders. Once I order to blow the trumpet to attack, the eight thousand fine cavalry you lead will attack quickly. .¡±
Zhi lost his mind and said forcefully: "No problem!"
Liu Heita waved his hand, turned around and left without thinking. In fact, according to the previous disposition of Zhishili, it would not be so peaceful when facing Liu Heitai.
Because he came to this battle under Xieli's order to try his best to weaken Datang.
So even though Liu Heitai was not very respectful to him, he didn't care about it if he lost his mind. Anyway, the other party provided enough food, provided enough equipment, and served him with delicious food, so he didn't care.
Liu Heita ordered the soldiers in the army to prepare for the battle.
All the soldiers did not lose their morale because of the loss of Mingshui County. On the contrary, it was because of Liu Heita's words that all the soldiers cheered up and became excited at once, all preparing for a battle.
Time passed by little by little.
The army led by Xue Wanche has already caught up.
Xue Wanche took the lead, dressed in armor, and walked in the front. The 30,000 elite formations under his command are watching eagerly. Every soldier has high fighting spirit shining in his eyes. For them, they haven't reacted yet, and they don't even know that they are already trapped in a siege. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
