Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Wei Shuyu and others are advancing rapidly. Although there are less than 600 soldiers and horses around the group of people, there are generals like Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong in the accompanying army, even if they encounter a small group of soldiers and horses blocking the way, they will kill them directly. Surprisingly close to the Changbaipo area.
On the front line of Changbaipo, Xia Guo's army is deployed.
It is impossible for Changsun Wuji and his group to break through on the official road of Changbaipo, but quietly go around to the border of Changbaipo line, gather the strength of Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and other people, and fight out in one go, breaking away from Changbaipo line . Even though Du Qi's army responded and wanted to pursue them, they were unable to catch up.
Du Qi got the news that Changsun Wuji and others had broken through, and immediately convened everyone to discuss, and deduced that Jiuquan County had won, otherwise Changsun Wuji and the others would not be able to break through and leave.
Next, we only need to deal with Li Shimin.
No more pressure in the rear.
After Du Qi and the others made inferences, Xiao Yuanqi's letter and battle report arrived, reporting the battle situation in Jiuquan County and the killing situation. The letter also mentioned the news of Qin Qiong's death in battle and Li Ji's suicide. Du Qi felt a little regretful after reading it. Both Qin Qiong and Li Ji are capable people.
It's a pity that these people died in battle.
Du Qi then ordered the whole army to rest and prepare for battle, because the next thing to do was to wait for Xiao Yuanqi's army to join up, and then he could prepare for a decisive battle with Li Shimin on the front line of Changbaipo.
When Du Qi's army was resting, Changsun Wuji and his group finally arrived outside the Tang army's camp.
All of them looked extremely tired.
His eyes were bloodshot.
?Because they stayed up all night when they rushed out of Jiuquan County, and now they have been running for such a long time, they are already exhausted. Even when riding a horse, the spirit of the person is very poor. The soldiers guarding the gate of the camp were a little surprised when they saw this. They didn't expect Changsun Wuji and the others to come back like this. Not only were the troops small, but they were all in a panic.
The soldiers quickly went to report.
Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and the others waited in place.
Not long after, Li Shimin came out.
He came out in person.
Originally, Li Shimin only needed to arrange someone to pass the order, so that the eldest grandson Wuji could have an audience with everyone, but when Li Shimin got the news, he came out without delay.
Li Shimin saw Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin, and after a glance, he didn't find Qin Qiong and Li Ji. He asked, "What's the matter, where are Li Ji and Shubao?"
"Your Majesty!"
After Changsun Wuji heard it, he suddenly knelt on the ground.
The rest of the people knelt down one after another.
One by one choked up.
Especially Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were crying loudly.
Li Shimin's body froze immediately, his cheeks twitched, and he said immediately, "Shu Bao and Li Ji, how did they die?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, when we broke through the siege last night, there were 60,000 troops in Jiuquan City, 25,000 troops from the east gate and 5,000 troops from the south gate and 5,000 troops from the south gate and north gate respectively. Our original plan was to After destroying the Xia State army led by Xiao Yuanqi outside the city, he led his army straight to Shazhou and Guazhou, and went to the hinterland of Xia State, leaving Du Qi in Changbaipo completely alone."
"But our army that broke out was blocked across the board. Because there was a wall outside the city, we broke out of the city and instead became the attacking party. Our troops suffered heavy losses. Not only did we fail to achieve the goal of annihilating the opponent, but we were crushed and beaten by the opponent. .¡±
"In the end we broke out of the city, but were overshadowed by the cavalry and fell into a tight siege. General Qin Qiong made a decisive decision. After leading the army, he delayed the time for us and allowed us to break out."
"But after we broke out, because Xiao Yuanqi never showed up, Li Ji concluded that Xiao Yuanqi was waiting for us on the road leading to Changbaipo, so he led his troops to meet us and attracted Xiao Yuanqi's attention, but We were able to break through."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Wei Zheng said: "The minister is guilty!"
"The minister is guilty, please punish him, Your Majesty."
"The minister is guilty, please punish him, Your Majesty."
The generals kept pleading guilty, and the expressions on everyone's faces were full of grief and helplessness. In the battle last night, the loss was too great, countless soldiers were lost, and even Li Ji and Qin Qiong were involved.
Li Shimin looked around.
Of the 60,000 people, only these hundreds came back.
The loss is far more than huge.
It is simply shocking.
If Li Shimin hadn't failed several times in succession and had endured too much pressure, I'm afraid this failure would make people furious. But because he has endured too many failures, Li Shimin has become numb until now. Although there were some changes in expression, there were not too many emotions in my heart.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and said, "Li Ji and Qin Qiong are blessed and fateful, so they may not be in a desperate situation, but they may be saved from a desperate situation. Get up, and go back to the camp to rest. .¡±
Everyone heard the words and thanked you again and again.
Only then did a group of people follow into the camp. After everyone went to rest, Li Shimin returned to the main tent of the Chinese army. His mood was very low, and he really lost his fighting spirit. Because of the continuous fighting, the army under his command has suffered countless losses.
Even Li Shimin's team was constantly being split up.
From Du Ruhui who left at the beginning, to Su Dingfang and Li Jing who followed up, Hou Junji and Duan Zhixuan who died in battle, and now Qin Qiong and Li Ji are likely to die in the fall.
Especially the army under his command was repeatedly damaged. Even in this battle, he spent a lot of troops, and he was unable to conquer the Changbaipo line where Du Qi was located.
Li Shimin's heart was exhausted like never before.
The mood is even lower.
At other times, maybe Li Shimin can cheer up and fight again. But right now, the body is really occupied by negative emotions, and the whole person is in a trance. Li Shimin was just in a daze, letting go of his emotions.
"Report!"
At this moment, the voice of a soldier suddenly sounded at the door of the tent.
Li Shimin woke up suddenly and said, "What's the matter?"
The soldier then entered and reported: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi is asking to see you."
"pass!"
Li Shimin gave an order.
After a while, Changsun Wuji entered the tent, clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty!"
Today's eldest grandson Wuji is still extremely tired, his eyes are bloodshot, and his eye sockets are also dark. However, he put on clean clothes. Although he looked tired, he was clean.
Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, sit down!"
After Changsun Wuji took his seat, Li Shimin continued: "Auxiliary machine, even though there is a wall around Jiuquan County, according to the information obtained, the strength of troops outside Jiuquan County is only about 30,000. And the strength of our side, A total of 60,000 people. According to the way you divided your troops to break through, it shouldn't be so miserable, only a few hundred people escaped back."
This is Li Shimin's doubt.
The soldiers of the Tang Army are all elite.
Not for the weak.
However, all the 60,000 troops were lost in Jiuquan County, and only a few hundred people came back in the end, which still makes people feel puzzled. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
