Chapter 130: Strategic Failure Caused by the Death of One Person

Shi Yi stared at Li Che's head in the hand of a Khitan cavalry in front of him.

The Khitan cavalry opposite had a flattering and smug smile on his face.

Li Che's head is the highest commander of the German army in this battle. With this head alone, he should be able to get a big reward!

When he was full of longing, he didn't notice that Yelu Qi, the leader of the tribe, was extremely ugly.

The next moment, Shi Yi had already kicked the Khitan cavalry and kicked the Khitan cavalry to the ground without saying a word. He pulled out the sword of a general beside him and slashed the Khitan cavalry in the air.

With a sound, a scimitar reached out to the side, holding Shi Yi's horizontal knife.

Shi Yi looked back suddenly and said that the person who took the hand to hold his horizontal knife was Yelu Qi. Seeing that Shi Yi's face was wrong, he had already been alert.

As soon as Yelu Qi made a move, his neck was immediately hit by the horizontal swords of two other generals Lu Long.

Shi Yi sneered: "Yelu Qi, do you want to rebel?"

Yelu Qi threw away the scimitar in his hand, and kneeled to the ground with a loud bang.

"Yelu Qi doesn't dare. But General Shi, this is a warrior who is well-known in my Dan tribe. He has been brave enough to move forward in the previous few battles. Every time he breaks into a Bundesliga formation, he always has his figure." Yelu Qi turned around, tore open the clothes of the Khitan cavalry who fell to the ground with a loud panic, revealing scars on his body.

"General Shi, please allow him to make the merits and punishments."

Shi Yi laughed: "How did you tell you before the war? Li Che, I want to live. No matter how much the loss I suffer, I will live. Now that you have killed him, this is a blatant violation of military orders. Yelu Qi, you are also a general who commands the army. What is the crime of violating military orders? You don't know? He deserves rewards for his merits, so this general will naturally not miss him. When you go back, the rewards that deserve him will be rewarded and you will take them back and handed to his family. But if he violates military orders, he should die. There is no saying that he will be punished in Lu Long's army."

Yelu Qi stuttered his lips for a few times, and finally lowered his head dejectedly.

It was not until this time that the Khitan cavalry finally realized why he brought back the head of the opponent's highest general. He was greeted by him not by rewards but by steel swords. He immediately shouted loudly.

"I'm wronged. He wasn't killed by me, and Li Che wasn't killed by me."

Shi Yi had fought with the Khitans for a long time, but he could roughly understand what this guy was calling.

"Didn't you kill? Is there any effect of quibbling at this time?" Even though he said that, the horizontal knife in Shi Yi's hand finally stopped.

Seeing the turning point in the matter, the Khitan cavalry spoke faster and faster. This time Shi Yi couldn't understand and looked at Yelu Qi with a frown.

"General Shi, he said that they found Li Che in a peach forest at the border with Zhang Wu. When they found him, he was dead. The knights who followed him were all dead. They just chopped Li Che's head back. They didn't talk about this before, they just wanted to get more credit." Yelu Qi quickly translated for Shi Yi.

Shi Yi was stunned when he heard this. Seeing the Khitan cavalry, he seemed to be not lying. He winked. He immediately walked out, and more than a dozen Khitan cavalry came back with the Khitan cavalry. They didn't know what was going on in the house now, so they just went out for a first trial, so they naturally knew everything.

He threw the knife back to the general beside him, and Shi Yi asked, "You are also a veteran. When you saw this person, since he was dead, how could you tell how he died?"

The Khitan cavalry escaped from death at this moment, but sweat was still dripping down their faces, trying hard to recall the scene at that time.

"A dozen people died in that peach forest, six or seven of them died under the bow and arrow." Speaking of this, his face showed a look of shock. He was also good at shooting, but after seeing the armored soldiers who were killed by arrows, he felt incredible. "The archer was so powerful. The feather arrow broke through the armored soldiers' iron armor and killed them with one arrow."

Shi Yi was also shocked. He had fully experienced the elite armored cavalry around Li Che during the war these days. They were the most elite group of Chengde. They were actually killed by someone with one arrow. The feather arrow broke through the armor and had such lethality. He was no longer an ordinary archer.

"Where is Li Che? He was also killed by an arrow?"

"No! He was killed by a sabre." The Khitan cavalry was obviously very familiar with the Tang army's standard weapons," Li Che's horse spear was cut off with one knife, and the armor on his body was cut open. The fatal wound was in his throat. He died after being pricked by the tip of the sabre and the throat was broken."

Shi Yi took a deep breath.

At that time, there should be only one armed force on the ground of Zhangwu, that is Liu Chenglin's Henghai Army. However, he had fought with Liu Chenglin's troops and had never seen Liu Chenglin's subordinates have such a sharpshooter. Moreover, although Liu Chenglin's kung fu is powerful, he is good at using guns, not slashing horses.

Could it be that there are still third-party forces present?

Or did Zhu Shou, the governor of the Henghai Army, send another troops to the scene?

But this possibility is very small. If Zhu Shou wants to remain unresolved between Lu Long and Chengde, so he wants to kill Li Che so that the hatred between the two sides can no longer be resolved, he just needs to let Liu Chenglin take action. Why take off his pants and fart? It would be a waste of time? But if there are third-party personnel, who will it be? What is their purpose?

Shi Yi couldn't think of it.

The result now is that Li Che is dead, which has had a huge impact on the entire strategic plan of Zhang Zhongwu, the governor of Lu Long. Li Che is dead, which is a major loss for Lu Long. Although this battle has achieved great success in tactical terms and severely damaged the main force of Chengde, it is impossible to win at all in terms of strategy.

Because Cheng De will fight against Lu Long's army to the death because of Li Che's death.

Lu Long's original idea was to capture Li Che alive. This time, Li Che's only possibility of breaking through was to escape to Zhang Wu and Liu Chenglin's army, but the final result would not be different. Henghai would still hand Li Che to Lu Long's hands.

The Jiedushi Zhang Zhongwu knew that the Henghai Jiedushi Zhu Shou had a deep understanding of the fact that as long as Chengde was defeated, Zhu Shou would inevitably become a grass on the wall, and when the wind blew, he would fall to Lu Long. The facts proved that this is true. Shi Yi left a hole in the direction of Zhangwu to lure Li Che into that direction, because in this way, the possibility of him capturing Li Che alive increased greatly. If Li Che desperately followed the army to break through, no one could guarantee that Li Che could be captured alive in the chaos. Let Li Che run towards Zhangwu and use Liu Chenglin's power to capture a living Li Che more easily.

Only a living Li Che has great value.

Now that Li Che is dead, all his plans are gone.

Shi Yi sat dejectedly after the big case, waved his hand, signaling the Khitan soldier to retreat. The Khitan soldier who had survived death dared to ask for rewards at this time, so he rolled and crawled out.

Turning around and looking at the map hanging on the wall behind him, Shi Yi sighed again.

From the beginning, the Jieshou Commander Zhang Zhongwu did not take the so-called alliance of the three Jieshou governors seriously. After the news came out, Lu Long sent a messenger, threatened and tempted him, and easily instigated the Zhenwu Jieshou Commander Wang Feng. Over the years, Wang Feng had long been beaten to pieces by Zhang Zhongwu in a series of conflicts with Lu Long.

Zhu Shou, the governor of Henghai, is a typical fence-bearer who is cheap and runs away when he encounters setbacks. Therefore, among the three governors, the only thing that Zhang Zhongwu finds difficult to deal with is Chengde.

The Chengde army was elite and rich in the area. Zhang Zhongwu had been coveting for a long time. More importantly, if Chengde could be defeated, it would pose a huge threat to Gao Pian in Hedong. If Chengde turned to Lu Long as a whole, Lu Long's power could pose a huge threat to Gao Pian in the weakest force. Let Gao Pian lose one's eyes, and failure would almost become a foregone conclusion.

But it is not easy to quickly win Chengde. Even if the main force of Chengde was eliminated in the Hejian Prefecture, in terms of Chengde's war potential, they could quickly mobilize considerable troops. Even if the field combat capability is insufficient, it would take too much time to let Lu Long fight one city and one pool. Once the time delays too long, Gao Pian can respond in time, and even the court will intervene immediately.

Once a stalemate is formed, it will be absolutely unfavorable for Lu Long. The current court has the name of righteousness, and the court has defined Lu Long as a rebel. If Lu Long cannot destroy Hedong, which is the greatest helper in Gao Pian in the north, the future situation will be hard to say.

Li Che is the only son of Li Anguo and the only successor of the Li family. If Lu Long is sure how to capture Li Che alive, he can coerce Li Anguo and Lu Long to form an alliance. As long as this situation is formed, the Khitan cavalry under Zhang Zhongwu can quickly rush to the rear of Hedong through Chengde, and then supplemented by Wang Feng's Zhenwu army and Chengde's re-summoned army. Gao Pian is invincible.

But now that Li Che is dead, everything is in vain. It would be strange if Li Anguo, who lost his beloved son, didn't fight Lu Long?

He ordered people to properly clean up Li Che's head, and ordered people to bring Wang Mingren, another general of Chengde who was captured alive in the breakout battle.

Wang Mingren, who was tied up in large numbers, stood in front of Shi Yi straightened up.

"Do you want to die or live?" Shi Yi asked.

"No, of course I want to live." Wang Mingren answered neatly.

Shi Yi raised his eyebrows: "If you want to live, there is only one way, surrender!"

"Okay!" Wang Mingren happily made all the generals in the tent unexpected, and even Shi Yi was a little surprised.

"If I let me go back, I will go and lobby for our governor Li Jie, Chengde, to join Lu Long. Even if the governor Li Jie does not agree, I am sure to persuade my uncle to join you Lu Long." Wang Mingren said happily.

Shi Yi's eyebrows were twisted together, and he looked at Wang Mingren for a while before slowly saying: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Since I don't believe me, why ask me?" Wang Mingren laughed.

"Go down!" Shi Yi roared angrily.

Before the soldiers came up, Wang Mingren turned around and walked, took a few steps, but turned around and looked at Shi Yi with a sad look on his face: "Major General, is he already dead?"

Shi Yi remained silent.

This person is too smart.
