Chapter 1970 Difficulty retreating from the enemy

Chapter 1968: Difficult to Retreat the Enemy

Seeing Zhuang Zhou, Master Cihang, Yuan Tiangang, and Ma Shanwei all escaped from the city, Li Shimin was stunned.

"Prince Tang, something is wrong. We fell into Jia Xu's scheme. The old thief faked his death to deceive the high-level officials of the imperial party, and ambushed ten master-level fighters in the city..."

Zhuang Zhou explained to Li Shimin what happened in the city with a sad face.

Li Shimin's eyes were full of gloom. He never expected that the Qin army would still close the city gate when thousands of elite troops entered the city.

What's more, after joining forces with the imperial party, a total of seven great masters were dispatched, but in the end only three of them came back alive, and the other four grand masters stayed in the city forever.

Now the main entrance of the north gate opened by Hu Hai has been closed again by the three great masters.

As soon as the city gate was closed, the reinforcements outside the city were lost. No matter how brave the Tang army inside the city was, it would sooner or later be exhausted by the Qin army little by little.

Once all the Tang troops in the city were killed, the Tang army could only forcibly capture Luoyang by attacking the city, but it would undoubtedly be more difficult to do so.

It is better to take advantage of the fact that the soldiers in the city are not dead, which can pose a certain degree of threat to the Qin army, and take advantage of this opportunity to attack the city with all their strength in order to attack the tower in one go.

Thinking of this moment, a ruthless look flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he meditated: "Pass down the order, the whole army will attack..."

"I would like to advise Tang Wang, it is better to calm down."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, he was interrupted by a young man, and he was Sima Yi who was rescued from Luoyang by Zhuang Zhou.

Li Shimin held the supreme position in Li Tang, and no one dared to intervene when he was speaking. Seeing that Sima Yi dared to interrupt Li Shimin's speech, Li Tang's officials couldn't help frowning, and gave Sima Yi an arrogant and rude label in their hearts.

Li Shimin didn't care about being interrupted. After looking at Sima Yi curiously, he asked Zhuang Zhou: "Master, who is this young master?"

Seeing this, Zhuang Zhou quickly explained to Li Shimin about Liu Ping and Sima Yi, which Sima Yi had told him not long ago.

On the other hand, Li Shimin had a look of astonishment, and at the same time secretly said it was a pity, and then dispelled the thought that had just arisen in his heart.

Although Liu Ping is Liu Xie's twin brother, with Liu Xie's demise, no one can prove his identity, even Yang Jun, who adopted him, can't prove his identity, so even if he can be kept alive Rescuing him is of little use value to Li Tang.

For Sima Yi, although Li Shimin appreciates his talent, he does not agree with his behavior of disregarding the whole family for the sake of loyalty.

"I wonder what Mr. Sima's opinion is?" Li Shimin asked.

Sima Yi said: "The gate of the city has been closed. If you want to enter the city, you have to take down the tower by force. But now that Mu Guiying and Qin Jian are at the north gate, the price of forcibly breaking through the north gate is absolutely unbearable for the Tang army." .”

"Young Master Sima, what do you think this king should do?" Li Shimin asked again.

Sima Yi took a deep breath, and said unwillingly: "Withdraw troops, withdraw from Sizhou, preserve strength, wait for the Qin army to change, unite with the southern princes, and then carry out the feat of attacking Qin."

Li Shimin's face suddenly turned cold, and he said lightly: "Mr. Sima's words are reasonable, but they are too pessimistic."

Seeing this, Sima Yi wanted to say more, but Li Shimin didn't want to listen anymore, and waved his hand: "Come here, send Mr. Sima down to heal his wounds."

After Sima Yi was forcibly lured away, Li Kui said: "My lord, Sima Yi is a great talent and has a deadly feud with the Qin army. Since he has offered advice, it proves that he has the heart to take refuge in him. Why did the lord deliberately neglect him?"

Li Shimin looked at Sima Yi's leaving back, and said calmly: "This Sima Yi is not simple. He is clearly full of hatred in his heart, but he can still be so rational, which shows that this person is extraordinary."

"Then why do you still..."

"Although Sima Yi has the heart to contribute, his purpose is to use the strength of my Tang army to help him avenge the Qin army. He himself does not have much recognition for my Tang Dynasty and this king."

Sima Yi thought he was hiding well enough, but he didn't know that in front of a hero like Li Shimin, his little thoughts couldn't be hidden at all.

Sima Yi thinks that Li Tang and Qin Jun are mortal enemies, and they are perfect targets to use, but he doesn't know that since the birth of this idea, Li Shimin's taboo has been overcome, and Li Shimin will wait until he sees him.

In addition, Sima Yi can see the situation of the authorities, but can Li Shimin not see it?
Didn't Li Shimin know that even if he attacked by force, he might not be able to break through the North Gate, but would it only increase the casualties?Of course he does.

But even if he knows he can't do it, he still has to do it, which is called involuntary.

After rejecting Sima Yi's proposal, Li Shimin personally commanded the army to attack the city. As Sima Yi expected, Mu Guiying sent Qin Ji to sit on the tower, replacing Qin Lu, who had been heavily guarded by Liu Ya.

Under Qin Ji's command, the defense of the north gate has been improved, and even Li Shimin can't find any flaws for a while.

By the time Li Shimin discovered the flaw, the thousands of elite Tang troops left in the city had already been wiped out by the joint strangulation of the Flying Tiger Army, the Women's Army, and tens of thousands of Qin troops, with the participation of many masters.

Hearing the cries of killing in the city stopped, Li Shimin knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to retreat.

"General, the Tang army at the north gate has been killed."

After hearing the report, Mu Guiying asked: "How many people have been killed by Tang Jun? How many people have we lost?"

"Behead more than [-] elite Tang troops, as for our army..."

Seeing that his subordinates hesitated, Mu Guiying suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and quickly asked, "How many people have you lost?"

"The total number of dead soldiers in each battalion is nearly [-]."

Mu Guiying suddenly felt dizzy.

You know, the Qin army suffered less than a thousand casualties when suppressing the imperialist rebellion in the city.

In the end, because of a mistake, Hu Hai opened the north gate, but in order to defend the north gate, he suffered 8000 casualties, which was three times that of Tang Jun.

This is still the premise of the new Seven Swords, the help of the seven masters. Without the participation of the Seven Swords, there will probably be nearly a thousand casualties.

As for the three great masters Fuxi Zhang Sanfeng Dharma, none of them wanted to attack ordinary soldiers, so after closing the city gate, they went back to deal with Yun Zhongzi.

"Qin Hai, you deserve to die." Mu Guiying cursed through gritted teeth.

If Hu Hai hadn't opened the city gate, the Tang army wouldn't be able to enter the city, and the Qin army wouldn't have to pay the [-] casualties, and the Detachment of Women wouldn't have killed two female generals.

At this moment, Mu Guiying's hatred for Hu Hai reached its peak, and she really wanted to crush him to ashes.
