My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2100 Death of the Withdrawal (Monthly Pass)
Zhao Wang Li Tao's military camp.

Brothers Li Tao and Li Geng were arguing intensely and intensely. He Shu, who was sitting by the side, looked nervous and pouted with red lips.

The two brothers are like two red-eyed lions, neither of them is willing to back down first.

The reason for the quarrel was naturally that after the battle with the soldiers of the six guards of the new army, there was a disagreement on whether to withdraw the troops from the capital or not.

After Li Geng, the son of the King of Shu, saw the results of the battle sorted out by Sima in the army, he couldn't help feeling afraid of war.

Not counting the loss of [-] soldiers and horses in the morning.

In the afternoon battle with water and fire alone, more than [-] of our own soldiers, horses, infantry, and cavalry were lost.

More than [-] of them died on the spot.

After the rebellion attacked the city, only 11 soldiers and horses remained, and about 2 soldiers were lost in just one afternoon.

With such a heavy loss, Li Geng really couldn't bear the idea of ​​continuing to take this muddy water.

If the battles in the future were still tens of thousands of losses every day like today, the 11 soldiers and horses might be strangled by the six guard cavalry of the new army under my uncle's command in a few days, and the entire army would be wiped out.

The moment he got the battle report, Li Geng had the idea of ​​retreating.

After the second brother came back, he had already succinctly stated the content of the conversation he had with his uncle.

After his uncle rebelled, since he didn't intend to spread the military disaster to his brothers, Li Geng really didn't want to continue to be an enemy of his uncle Su Weimoumian.

As soon as Li Geng said what he meant, Li Tao refuted it without hesitation.

This is the country of my own Li family, how can I just hand it over to others for nothing because the enemy army is too aggressive?Even if this person is his uncle, his own uncle is the same.

This is the inheritance left by the ancestors. Even if you are not the emperor, you can't just watch your family's foundation being plundered by outsiders.

Therefore, the two brothers had a dispute over the issue of whether to retreat or not.

One intends to withdraw the army back and get out of the way, while the other insists on helping the elder brother and sticks to the rivers and mountains.

The two brothers insisted on their own opinions, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Li Tao actually understands his cousin's thoughts very well, but this country doesn't have much to do with him.

If this is the country left by the third uncle, how can the cousin not care?
"Second brother, younger brother, I hope you think twice. You have seen the situation of the battle today. It is clearly four to one, but my uncle's troops surrounded our infantry and slaughtered them.

In just one afternoon, our army suffered more than [-] casualties.

Go on, how long do you think we can last with the [-] soldiers and horses in our hands?
What benefits did your elder brother give you that made you willing to sacrifice your many years of foundation to help your elder brother out?
Once uncle gets angry with you in the future, not to mention the glory and wealth and title of feudal king you enjoy now, it will be a question of whether you can keep your life. "

"You are right, my uncle may anger me in the future, and I will sacrifice my life for it.

But Li Geng, don’t forget, this king’s surname is Li, and your surname is also Li.

We all have the blood of the Li clan, and our ancestors are all Taizu Emperor Gao.

Watching the 600-year-old foundation of your ancestors fall into the hands of others, are you worthy of your own blood?

Are you worthy of your identity as a clan member of the Li family? "

"At least I won't die knowingly that I'm invincible!

Doing so is not righteous, but stupid!Second brother, let me tell you, I am retiring this soldier.

If you are still stubborn, brother can only say sorry! "

Li Tao stared at Li Geng coldly, "Li Geng, don't forget, you are in the army camp now, fleeing the battle is a death penalty, and it should be judged by military law.

Although you are the deputy commander of the army, if you violate the military order, this king can still punish you according to the military law. "

"Second brother, don't you forget where your military wealth comes from?
If you want to engage in our military law, how many people do you think will listen to your orders?Besides, how many fraternities do you think know they can't do anything and follow you to death for nothing?

General Chang, if you haven't come in yet, when will you wait? "

While Li Tao's mind was trembling, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and the general Chang Cong, who was in command of the cavalry during the day, walked in, looking at Li Tao who looked vacant in astonishment.

"My lord, retreat, we are really no match for the elite frontier army.

We only lost 5 to [-] horses in one month of siege, but today we lost about [-] people in one day.

It's not that the brothers don't want to work for you, but you can't let the brothers die in vain! "

Li Tao stared blankly at Chang Cong for a moment, then walked over slowly.

"Is this what you mean? Or is it the result of the discussion between the four of you, Geng Hai, Fan Yong, and Hong Changhao?"

"As long as the prince agrees to withdraw the troops, the other three brothers will naturally not have any troubles. After all, the prince is also for the wealth and lives of the soldiers of the three armies, uh, you...you."

Chang Cong looked at the dagger stuck in his chest in astonishment, and looked up at Li Tao who stared at him coldly in disbelief.

"Hello. So cruel"

Li Tao looked coldly at Chang Cong's dimming eyes, stirred the dagger in his hand, and pulled it out suddenly. Looking at Chang Cong who fell to the ground, Li Tao took out his handkerchief and calmly wiped the blood on the dagger.

"Since it's your idea alone, then you can accompany the brothers who died in the war."

Hearing Li Tao's words to himself, Li Geng came to his senses and staggered down on the chair.

"You... You killed General Chang, aren't you afraid of causing a mutiny?"

He Shu also stared blankly at his son with beautiful eyes, and took a deep breath when he saw Li Tao who was wiping the blood on the dagger, and was speechless for a long time.

Li Tao casually threw the cloth in his hand on the ground, and looked outside the tent: "Come here!"

"See Your Majesty!"

"General Chang Cong intends to assassinate this king, and defected to the enemy. He has been executed by this king on the spot and dragged out!"

The two soldiers looked at Chang Cong's dead body on the ground in amazement, and nodded silently.

"Order!"

Two soldiers dragged Chang Cong's body out of the big tent, and Li Tao walked straight out of the big tent.

"Anyone who dares to retreat, this king will have his head!"

Li Tao seemed to be talking to himself, but Li Geng shuddered suddenly, he knew it was the second brother's words to warn him.

The next day.

See you in the East.

Amid the sound of drums and horns, the soldiers of the Six Guards of the New Army launched an attack on the capital again.

The battle situation in the west of the city is still fierce, and Li Tao rewards the soldiers of the three armies to boost morale.

However, the soldiers and horses under his command, encouraged by the heavy rewards, still struggled to stop the unilateral strangulation of the six guards of the new army.

They think that the battle formation with both offensive and defensive capabilities will often be torn apart by the new cavalry's four or five charges, and then they will be defeated.

The battlefield in the north of the city is a bit weird compared to the tragedy in the west of the city.

After thirteen rounds of fighting back and forth between the soldiers and horses of the two sides, only more than 3000 soldiers and soldiers of the two sides were slightly injured.

As for the soldiers and horses who were seriously injured or killed in battle, there were none.

What Nangong Ye was most worried about happened.

Three days later, the troops under Li Tao's command fought to the death with the new army's six guard cavalry, and in the end there were only soldiers and horses in the early [-]s left.

Liu Mingzhi also began to focus on attacking the capital.

Instead of feints to attract opponents, a real siege was launched.
