Li Shimin's slightly haggard eyes widened, staring at the camp. Today's Xia Guo military camp, under the continuous explosions, has turned into a place of burning flames.
The gunpowder exploded, the flames were everywhere, and the smoke and dust were lingering, followed by endless screams. Although the explosion suppressed everything, Li Shimin seemed to hear the screams of his soldiers coming from the camp. Li Shimin had never seen the specific scene of the explosion in the camp in the distance, but he seemed to see the corpses of soldiers of the Tang army, being bombed to death and falling to the ground.
Li Shimin's heart is like a knife cutting.
"Your Majesty, let's retreat."
Fang Xuanling sighed inwardly.
His worries turned out to be a reality, and Du Qi really had a second hand to fight back with the help of an explosion. Under the explosion of gunpowder, the Tang army in the camp had nowhere to escape, and there was no way to escape. Everything depended on luck. If you were lucky, you might be able to escape the explosion.
Wei Zheng also said: "Your Majesty, withdraw."
?The rest of the people proposed to retreat one after another. At present, there are not many troops around Li Shimin. Even if there were Xuanjia Jingqi around, but the army was ruined, the Xuanjia Jingqi and the rest of the troops around Li Shimin were far from enough. Once Du Qi's army came out, Li Shimin's strength was not enough.
No matter how reluctant Li Shimin was to withdraw his troops, he had no choice but to order: "Send the order, withdraw the troops!"
The order was issued, and the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops sounded.
Li Shimin immediately led the army, turned around and evacuated. However, when Li Shimin was evacuating, he turned his head and glanced at the camp surrounded by smoke and dust. As the explosions continued to sound, gradually, the sound of the explosions began to dissipate, and the camp gradually subsided. When Li Shimin saw the situation in the camp, his heart ached even more.
More than 100,000 troops attacked. After this wave of explosions, there must be very few left, and his strength is gone.
well¡¡
Li Shimin sighed in his heart, finally turned his head, shook the rein, and quickly retreated.
The team of more than 10,000 people turned around and retreated, but only four or five hundred steps forward, Li Shimin's ears moved suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "The ground in front is trembling, and the tremor is very strong. It is Du Qi's image. Soldier. Damn it, we clearly arranged sentries to investigate the surrounding situation, how could there still be elephant soldiers ambushing around. Send the order, break through at full speed, and kill out."
At this moment, Li Shimin ordered quickly.
Once blocked by elephant soldiers, even if Li Shimin can escape, the army under his command will inevitably be greatly affected. This is something Li Shimin absolutely does not want to see. The army speeded up again and quickly moved forward to break through. Even now that night is falling, it is actually not very convenient to travel, but Li Shimin has no choice.
When Li Shimin's army began to evacuate, the location of the Chinese army's large tent in the camp.
Du Qi saw that the smoke and dust around him had dissipated and the sound of the explosion stopped, so he said, "Beat the drum and send an order to counterattack. Li Shimin's army has been arrogant for such a long time. Now that the offense and defense have reversed, it's time for us to kill. Killing the enemy and making meritorious service is today."
"Boom! Boom!!!"
The sound of war drums resounded.
The mighty sound of war drums echoed in the air, ringing continuously. With the sound of war drums, Xia Guo's army, which had shrunk back, suddenly burst into shouts that went straight into the sky. The black army had already rushed out, and they fought back in the previous direction, beheading the soldiers of the Tang army who survived the explosion.
The army counterattacked, and Du Qi also took the troops around him and began to head towards the gate of the camp.
Because of the explosion along the way, there were many potholes in the camp. After all, a lot of gunpowder was arranged in the camp before. These gunpowder were actually dug holes in the ground, then dug out trenches, and connected them with fuses one by one. Together, connect the fuse to all the gunpowder. In this way, only by lighting the fuse can all the gunpowder arranged be detonated.
The army beheaded the soldiers of the Tang army who had escaped the disaster along the way, and quickly broke out of the camp, and then pursued in the direction of Li Shimin's withdrawal, and the army continued on its way. Du Qi led the army to chase for about three quarters of an hour, when he heard the shout of killing coming from the front, Du Qi immediately ordered to attack at full speed.
The army rushed forward less than 300 steps before they encountered the Tang army and elephant soldiers who were fighting.
In addition, there is also a group of Xia Guo infantry.
Most of the Tang army was stopped.
Following the intervention of the army led by Du Qi on the battlefield, the Tang army, which was still fighting, was directly defeated and could no longer resist. After the army was encircled, the soldiers of the Tang army who surrendered were taken into custody, and those who resisted stubbornly were killed directly.
? Zuo Xianfeng and Du Qi met, Zuo Xianfeng reported: "Your Majesty, the minister failed to stop Li Shimin. He was guarded by Xuanjia Jingqi.?, already the first step to evacuate. "
Du Qi said: "Li Shimin's Xuanjia Jingqi is not weak. It is very difficult to win Li Shimin. What's more, the focus this time is to destroy Li Shimin's army. Now that this battle has achieved its goal, if Li Shimin escapes, then escape Bar."
The left vanguard's forces are elephant soldiers, and it is impossible to disperse and pursue them all, and it is not easy to pursue them. It is normal for Li Shimin to escape. Furthermore, Du Qi's cavalry are all shrunk in the army. If the elephant soldiers are ambushed in the distance, and countless horses and cavalry are arranged outside, it is very likely that they will not be able to hide the news. In the end, only the elephant soldiers will be on the periphery, otherwise there will be no With the cavalry, it is easy to stop Li Shimin.
Du Qi directly ordered: "Retreat!"
"yes!"
The left vanguard gave the order.
The army escorted the soldiers of the Tang Army who surrendered to evacuate.
On the other side, Li Shimin rushed out under the guard of Xuanjia Jingqi. It's just that Li Shimin's troops have lost a lot of strength now. He led the army to continue to retreat, and retreated for more than ten miles. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind, he stopped to rest. After some counting, Li Shimin was completely dumbfounded when he heard the battle report from the report.
Of his Xuanjia elite cavalry, there are only more than two thousand elites left. Among the ordinary soldiers of the Tang Army who followed the retreat, there were only more than 3,000 people left. More people fell into the rear, or fled away.
In this battle, Li Shimin brought more than 100,000 troops.
The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.
But now there are countless losses, the army has no one in ten, and only a very small number of forces are left. Li Shimin wanted to cry, but turned his head to look in the direction of Du Qi's camp, his inner emotions fluctuated even more. His breath was unsteady, his chest was heaving and rising, unable to suppress the churning blood, he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Li Shimin vomited blood, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others were very nervous, and hurriedly asked with concern.
Li Shimin waved his hand to show that it was okay, and he said, "I just don't want to be reconciled, I thought this battle would be won. Besides, our army soldiers have already entered the camp. Unexpectedly, Du Qi did it on purpose. Deliberately let our soldiers enter, and then use gunpowder to blow up our people. Du Qi, this son, is really scheming and extremely ruthless."
Wei Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, what we have to face now is not only Du Qi's continued attack, but also the domestic situation. If we have more troops, we may have a chance to stabilize the country. But now it is impossible to recruit troops locally. And our troops are so few and far between, it is even more difficult to stabilize the domestic situation now. I don't know what to do now, my lord."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
The domestic situation has already become a mess, unable to suppress the situation. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty, including Li Shimin himself, pinned all their hopes on defeating Du Qi. As long as Du Qi is defeated, there is hope for everything, and the domestic situation can be gradually adjusted. At present, the situation in the country is not under control, but all the soldiers are destroyed here. It is extremely difficult to win now.
Li Shimin's heart bleeds even more.
yes!
How to deal with the domestic situation?
Up to this moment, Li Shimin felt overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with it. Li Shimin took a deep breath and looked at Fang Xuanling, hoping that Fang Xuanling could come up with a plan to solve the current predicament, and even achieve a comeback.
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to reverse the situation for a while. Because under the current situation, the Tang Dynasty is already precarious. The situation is too difficult."
"Return to Anrong Pass first, and then consider the follow-up."
Seeing that Fang Xuanling could not make up his mind, Li Shimin gave the order to retreat without wasting any time.
The order was issued and everyone set off. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
