Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2232 Defeat Changsun Wuji and fight Wuzhangyuan decisively
Chapter 2228: Defeating the elder Sun Wuji, the decisive battle at Wuzhangyuan
Changsun Wuji's [-] reinforcements were supposed to be transferred to Yaoguan, but Li Shimin was transferred to support Xiaoguan because of Li Cunxu's urgent request for help.

After Changsun Wuji received the order, he decisively led [-] cavalry to Xiaoguan, but it was a pity that he was one step too late. Xiaoguan had already been captured by the Qin army, and guard Li Cunxu and others all died in battle.

Changsun Wuji thought that his actions were fast enough, but he never expected that Huo Qubing used cavalry to attack the city, and took only half a day to capture Xiaoguan, which is simply shocking.

If Li Cunxu, the guard of Xiao Guan, was an idiot, it would be fine for Huo Qubing to break the city in half a day.

But Li Cunxu is obviously a good general with both civil and military skills. If Huo Qubing can break through Xiaoguan in the second half of his defense, then the strength of the Qin army that came from afar is too terrifying.

Now that Changsun Wuji failed to support Xiao Guan, but ran into Huo Qubing's headquarters head-on, he would naturally feel fear in his heart.

If the 3 reinforcements were all there and the infantry and cavalry were fighting together, Changsun Wuji would not be afraid of more than [-] Qin cavalry, but now he only has [-] cavalry in hand, and he must be too weak to directly fight with more than [-] Qin cavalry.

Like Changsun Wuji, Huo Qubing didn't expect Changsun Wuji to come so fast, and he secretly rejoiced that his actions were fast enough, otherwise, if it took another day or so to let Changsun Wuji enter Xiaoguan, he was thinking It may be difficult to capture Xiaoguan.

Xiaoguan has just been captured now, and another [-] cavalry from the Tang Army have come to the door, and all good things have caught up
For field battles, Huo Qubing was not afraid of anyone, so he ordered decisively: "The target is the Tang army ten miles to the southeast, the whole army charges."

"No." All the generals responded in unison.

"Where are Gongsun Xuanyuan and Jintai?"

"The end is here."

"The two of you each command [-] cavalry to form left and right wings to protect our central army."

"promise."

Following Huo Qubing's order, each battalion of the Qin Army's iron cavalry was immediately divided into three divisions. Xuanyuan and Jintai each led [-] iron cavalry to form the left and right wings, while Huo Qubing personally visited [-] iron cavalry as the central army.

Thirty-three thousand iron cavalry rushed towards the Tang army ten miles away at full speed, and the horseshoes stomped on the ground and stirred up a lot of smoke and dust, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Not long after the Qin army moved, spies came to report.

"Report... General Qi, the Tang army dare not fight head-on, and has retreated to the direction of Qian County."

Hearing this, Huo Qubing on the horse sneered coldly: "It's easy to come, but it's not so easy to leave if you want to. Send the order and attack at full speed, you can't let this group of Tang soldiers run away."

Huo Qubing dared to fight Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji did not dare to fight Huo Qubing. Now his strength is obviously weaker than Qin Jun, so he rationally chose to avoid the edge temporarily.

Changsun Wuji decided to retreat to Qian County first, join the [-] infantry in the rear, and then pass the news of Xiaoguan's fall back to Chang'an, waiting for the command of the lord, before deciding how to repel the Qin army.

As for after retreating into Qian County, will Huo Qubing cross the county and lead his army directly to Chang'an?
Changsun Wuji thinks there is such a possibility, but the possibility should not be great.

First of all, Chang'an is the largest city in Kansai, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Huo Qubing's entire cavalry, without infantry, how can they capture Chang'an?
Secondly, if his [-] army is not dealt with, the Qin army's defense will be unstable, and if it rashly rushes to Chang'an, it is very likely that it will be taken away.

Based on these two considerations, Changsun Wuji believed that before Huo Qubing solved his threat, he would not take the risk of going directly to Chang'an so easily.

After all, Changsun Wuji still underestimated Huo Qubing. His thoughts were always in accordance with the conventional thinking, but Huo Qubing never used routines to play cards in battle.

How could Huo Qubing, who dared to travel long distances for more than [-] li, go deep into the Tang country's rear with his lone army, care about the rear?food road?

Huo Qubing made preparations from the very beginning, but after entering Guanzhong, he was turned upside down, and he didn't even plan to leave defenders in Xiaoguan.

The reason why the dragon was left to guard Xiaoguan was not to guard the back road, but to guard the hundred thousand stones of food and grass.

Changsun Wuji wanted to rely on Qian County to contain Huo Qubing, which was naturally impossible, and even his escape was an extravagant hope.

"General, the Qin army is catching up, and the speed is very fast. If this continues, I'm afraid they will catch up with our army." Gao Siji reported anxiously.

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji frowned: "The cavalry of the Qin army ride Bingzhou horses, which are good at stamina but weak at sprinting.

The Xiliang horse that my Tang army rides is good at sprinting but weak in endurance.

How could the Xiliang horse be overtaken by the Bingzhou horse? "

Gao Siji looked annoyed, he despised Changsun Wuji's pedantry in his heart, since when did he still care about these things?Quickly pointing at the rising smoke and dust, he said anxiously, "General, you can see for yourself."

Changsun Wuji held the binoculars in his hand, turned his head and looked back, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Qin Jun is really about to catch up, and the Bingzhou horse is faster than the Xiliang horse, which is simply unreasonable.

Changsun Wuji estimated the distance in his mind. According to this posture, the Qin army would be able to catch up in less than two hours. Although the Tang army could reach Qian County in two hours, it was not enough for all the soldiers to retreat into the city.

If the army hadn't fully entered the city, and the Qin army came here at this time, the situation would definitely be even more chaotic. If the Qin army were to enter the city, it would be a catch.

It's better to turn the horse's head and fight the Qin army now.

At this point, Changsun Wuji quickly asked: "Where are the twenty thousand pawns now?"

"I just received the report. I have already passed Qian County and I am preparing to retreat into the city."

"Don't enter the city, let Shi Jingtang immediately lead the army to support. As long as he can hold back the [-] Qin cavalry, if the other [-] troops support in time after the decisive battle begins, they may not be able to repel the Qin cavalry."

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice, this was the only way he could think of.

Under the leadership of Changsun Wuji, the [-] Tang cavalry continued to retreat, but after retreating for half an hour, they stopped and turned their horses, waiting for the arrival of the Qin army to prepare for the decisive battle.

With this half-hour march, the [-] Tang army infantry in the rear could reach the battlefield faster.

"Report, the Qin army is still three miles away from our army."

"Report, the Qin army is still two miles away from our army."

"Report, the Qin army is still one mile away from our army."

Changsun Wuji looked solemn, drew his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, the Qin army is aggressive. Our army has no way to retreat. Only by defeating the Qin army in front can we survive..."

[Ding dong, Changsun Wuji's skill 'Encouragement' is activated. After this effect is activated, it can boost the morale of the entire army and increase the combat power of the entire army. Commander +2, force +2.

Changsun Wuji: Commander 93, Force 80, Intelligence 95, Politics 98, Charm 88;

At present, the commander-in-chief of Changsun Wuji has risen to 95, and the force has risen to 82;]
