Chapter 401 Thunder's Wrath
In the light of the light, Liu's slender figure, sitting on the white horse, shivered slightly in the cold morning breeze of late autumn, and his clothes fluttered in the wind.
"Madam, it is the clarion call of the Zhendong Army's large army!"
"Madam, Siyuan and General Sizhao requested to hold on for another quarter of an hour, and they would definitely take back Guancheng!"
"Madam, General Sizhao has taken back the Guanlou, and only dozens of enemy soldiers are left to fight stubbornly."
The waves of rewards appear to be good on the surface, but in fact things are not optimistic.
Liu Yunniang held her fingers tightly and turned white, "We lost this battle!"
She looked around everyone around her and said lightly.
Everyone couldn't help but look sad. In fact, this battle had already been lost. More than a dozen assassins killed four generals in the pass. Dozens of people captured the pass. Who would attack for so long, but they still haven't regained the pass yet?
The enemy's large army has appeared, and this time there is no luck at all.
The female sword guard commander Jing Niang was carrying a sword and wearing a silver mask on her face. Jing Niang was originally a very beautiful woman, but unfortunately, she would wear a mask except for private occasions. Jing Niang stepped forward and said, "Madam, the soldiers in Zhendong in the pass will be wiped out soon, and the two young men will definitely be able to regain the closed door. We still have thousands of troops, and as long as we are guarding the pass, we will definitely be able to defend it. As long as we send people to invite reinforcements, we will never lose."
"We have already lost. If we lose, we lose. On the battlefield, it is very important to see the situation clearly." Liu Yunniang said lightly: "If we lose, we lose. At this time, what we need is not to find reasons, not to seek face, but how to take the next step. At the moment, thousands of us can fight with hundreds of Zhendong Army, thousands of us can be at a loss. Now that thousands of Zhendong Army are coming, how can we resist? Although Si Zhao Siyuan and others are very brave, they are not use them. Although we have thousands of soldiers and horses under our command, these soldiers are not Shatuo's elite soldiers. What's more, our opponent is Li Jing's Zhendong Army, which is an army that has not yet achieved defeat. Even the strong army of Lulong in Youzhou has been defeated by Li Jing, let alone us old and weak left-behind."
"Li Jing and Zhendong Army are both powerful soldiers who can compete with our Shatuo Army. We will not be ashamed to lose to them. What we need now is to recognize the situation. We cannot keep the Taixi barrier and fight again. It is to put more troops in, which will be of no help. What we need urgently now is to withdraw the troops immediately and retreat to Daizhou or Shuozhou, either to the troops who stayed in the north of Taiyuan, or to the new city of Shuozhou. Jingniang!"
Jing Niang's face was hidden behind the mask. She could not see her expression at this moment, but her voice was still full of reluctance. "Madam, I understand. I will immediately pass on the wife's orders to the two young masters."
Under the city of Guancheng, Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan were making the final attack, while Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang and Gao Siji's troops were less than fifty years left. They had retreated again and again, retreating into the city gate.
"You can't retreat again. If you retreat again, you will be taken back. The teacher has arrived. If you have paid such a huge casualty, you can't lose it anyway." Gao Siji, who had a white horse and silver spear, had become a bloody man at this time, and he was full of blood. He didn't know which ones were his own and which ones were the enemy. Liu Xun and Wang Yanzhang were not much better. The two of them mechanically waved their weapons, and basically did not stop for a moment.
Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan have led their troops to recapture Guanmen Tower City, but they still have not been able to recover Guanmen Tower. Standing on the Guanmen Tower, you can clearly see the dust flying on the mountain road in front of Guanmen Tower, and a bunch of people are coming quickly. The leading Zhendong Army and Li's big flag have already vaguely seen the momentum. At least five thousand soldiers and horses.
Seeing this scene, Li Sizhao was worried. Jingniang rode a horse here and found him directly. He said in a cold tone: "Madam is destined. Withdraw from the battle immediately and retreat to Daizhou."
"Give us another quarter of an hour, and I will take someone to kill Li Jing's three disciples!" Li Sizhao said anxiously.
But Jing Niang was still saying that coldly: "This is the order of the wife. The wife ordered the retreating troops to be the chief general of Mr. Siyuan, and asked Mr. Sizhao to obey the military orders. The people would not care. The wife said that Li Jing was not a bloodthirsty person. In addition, those injured soldiers and those who could not keep up, stayed, and let them surrender to Li Jing simply."
After Jingniang finished speaking coldly, Li Siyuan couldn't help but burst into tears. Although this battle was not the first battle between the Shatuo Army and the Zhendong Army, in this battle, their Shatuo Army was completely defeated by the Zhendong Army.
It can be said that their five thousand soldiers were eventually defeated by hundreds of people.
Moreover, they are the ones guarding the gate.
"What?" Li Sizhao, who was preparing for the final attack in front of the city gate, listened to the order from Jingniang brought by Li Siyuan, grabbed Jingniang's collar, and angered flames appeared in his eyes, "What are you saying? You say it again?"
Under the mask, Jingniang's still cold order came: "Prince Sizhao, this is the order of the wife. The wife ordered you to withdraw your troops immediately. Moreover, all the soldiers and horses in Taixiu Guanzhong are the main generals, and let Prince Sizhao be the deputy, and follow Prince Sizhao's arrangements."
"Impossible! You fake military orders, I will kill you!" Li Sizhao reached out to touch the knife, but Jing Niang calmly took out a golden arrow from her arms.
Looking at the familiar golden arrow, Li Sizhao let go of his hand sadly. This arrow was the one given to the ten tribes of the Shatu people from the Turkic Khan when they were one of the ten Turkic tribes. Now, this arrow no longer has the function of commanding the tribes, but it is still very important in Shatu. Li Guochang handed the arrow to his son, symbolizing the identity of the young clan leader of Li Keyong. Li Keyong later handed it to his wife, meaning that after Liu Yunniang gave birth to a son in the future, the arrow will be the identity of the young clan leader of the future.
Li Sizhao wailed: "Madam!" In anger, blood spurted like an arrow from the wound.
The order of ceasefire was finally conveyed, and the sound of gold was constantly ringing. The Shatu soldiers who had already known that most of the Zhendong Army had arrived immediately turned around and left without hesitation. Amid the sound of horns, Liu took Li Sizhao, Li Siyuan and the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers and horses to evacuate to Fanzhi City in Daizhou. Many people in Weizhou also evacuated with each other, and some people scattered in a daze.
When Li Jing led his troops to the gate, the city gate was still open. The wounded soldiers lying all over the city gate, but the flags on all sides were still standing. Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, and Gao Siji all became bloody men, but they still struggled to stand in front of the gate to welcome Li Jing's arrival.
Li Jing rode his horse to the front of the pass, and the three of them could no longer support him and knelt in front of Li Jing. Seeing the tragic scene under the pass, Li Jing felt as heartbroken as a knife, especially when he saw that Liu Xun's three disciples and those elite cavalrymen had not even one standing at this time, and he was even slashed by the knife a few more times.
Although he was angry with these students who did not obey military orders and fought this unorganized and undisciplined battle, he still had to comfort the soldiers at the moment.
After jumping off the horse, Li Jing stopped the three students from kneeling down to apologize, and asked in a cold tone: "Where is Li Cunxiao, isn't he very brave? He is killed by a hundred people in Guanzhong in Zhigu. Do you think God is the eldest son and he is the second son? Where are others?"
Liu Xun cried bitterly: "The fourth brother led seventeen cavalry to sneak into Guanzhong and captured the three brothers of the guard Liu Zhijie and Li Keyong Li Kezhang and Li Kexiu, but they were surrounded. It is said that the fourth brother refused to surrender and finally retreated into the town general's mansion, and directly burned his hands with fire and jade."
Li Jing was stunned on the spot like thunder. Li Cunxiao was dead? Although he was very angry with Li Cunxiao just now and was about to teach him a lesson, he actually liked this disciple very much. Why is he dead now?
"Military doctor, hurry up and treat Bo Hu and the others, and find all the brothers in the prison. As long as there is still a breath, they must save him. In addition, send some people to eliminate the remaining enemies and search for Cun Xiao and others. I don't believe they are dead. They will see people in their lives, and I will see the bodies in their lives!"
Wang Yanzhang had at least dozens of wounds on his body, and his bloody face turned pale. But at this time, he insisted on not continuing.
"Mr. Li Keyong's three brothers are dead. There are more than 3,000 people in Shatuo now. The commanders are Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao, two adopted sons of Li Keyong. I heard that Li Keyong's wife is also there. They just heard that the Duke of the County was here and fled to Daizhou. The subordinates are willing to make meritorious service and atone for me. Please help the Duke of the County to draw a thousand cavalry and I will capture the three of them!"
"No!" Li Jing shouted angrily, staring at Wang Yanzhang with unprecedented anger. Even Wang Tieqin, who had always been bold, couldn't help but take three steps back by this glance. "Isn't the lesson you just learned enough? What do you think war is? War is killing?"
Li Jing roared and shouted, feeling unprecedentedly annoyed: "How many lessons have I taught with you? Have you remembered a little bit of it with care? What is war? War is the continuation of politics, not for killing or robbing. Have I explained your mission to send troops before, have I asked you to attack Taixi Mountain City? Who gave you the power to fight Taixi Mountain City? There are less than 40 most elite cavalry left now, and there are more than 700 elite ones left.
The soldiers are gone like this. Can you take this responsibility? I hand over the most elite soldiers to you. How about you? You have only been ruined by these brave soldiers? Damn, you are like birds, and you are still leading troops to war. From now on, you will be demoted to inferior soldiers. After your injuries are healed, you will be in jail for ten days. You can't figure out what war is, what is leading troops, and what is the responsibility of a general. Don't think about leading troops anymore. Now, get out of here and treat me well, get out!"
