The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 760 Chapter 740 Nine: Li Shimin defeated Liu Heita
Then Liu Heita is preparing to organize the evacuation of the army!All the generals in this army knew that the food and grass in this army had been robbed by Li Shimin.

If you stay here again, it will be no different from waiting to die!

There is no food in the army, so how can we fight this battle!

While the group was discussing how to retreat, suddenly the scout came in in a panic and reported, "Report to Your Majesty, something is not right.

Now Li Shimin has already left the whole team, and the cavalry of the brigade are lining up. I am afraid they will charge towards our army in a short while. "

Liu Heitat was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stood up.

"Generals, let's fight on our own, let's quickly lead our teams to break through.

That brat Li Shimin is not a bad guy. Once we are surrounded by him, it will be very difficult for us to evacuate. "

As soon as these generals heard this, they immediately ran out of the big tent, returned to the army, and led their respective troops to organize their own troops to evacuate.

Now that the entire Liu Jun has become a frightened bird, how can he even think about doing battles!

Just when the people in this army panicked, Li Shimin's army came over overwhelmingly.

Li Shimin's army is all cavalry, and the army chasing Liu Heita started a massacre!
Shouting, crying, and moaning sounded together, and the whole scene was unprecedentedly tragic!

The Tang army had Li Shimin on the left and Yu Chigong on the right. The two men commanded the Tang army and launched an unprecedented fierce battle with Liu Heita's army.

Although Liu Heita's army has an absolute advantage in numbers, infantry accounted for the vast majority.

Even some cavalrymen are too busy running for their lives now, and have no intention of fighting!

As soon as Liu Heita's army saw that they were invincible, they fought and retreated in the direction of the Ming River.

Jin Jia and Tong Huan standing on Mingcheng saw it and knew it was time to send a signal, so they immediately ordered people to light up the wolf smoke, and a puff of black smoke soared into the sky immediately ignited.

The defenders on the beacon tower not far away saw it and immediately lit up the beacon.

The beacon smoke passed forward quickly, and Zhang Gongjin in the upper reaches of the Ming River was waiting!
Seeing the beacon smoke coming, he immediately ordered loudly: "Brothers, hurry up and open your mouth. When the opening is big, let's go and kill the enemy immediately. Let's give those enemy soldiers who cross the river a fatal blow!"

Five thousand soldiers worked together, and after a while, a hole more than ten feet wide was quickly dug out, and the river had already filled the river bed.

The river roared and rushed downstream along the opening, and the opening was getting bigger and bigger!

Seeing that her mission had been completed, Zhang Gongjin shouted loudly to the soldiers: "Brothers, our mission has been completed.

Get on your horses and follow me immediately.

We have gone to kill the enemy. If we act late, we will miss our chance to make meritorious deeds! "

Under the leadership of Zhang Gongjin and Bai Xiandao, these soldiers rushed downstream like a gust of wind and rushed over!
Liu Heita's army lost to Li Shimin's cavalry, and was chased and massacred by Li Shimin's cavalry. The time was not too long, and Liu Jun's dead bodies were scattered all over the field!

These dead bodies can be said to be next to each other!There is no way to say how miserable the death is!
Li Shimin couldn't help shaking his head when he saw it!

Li Shimin ordered loudly: "Soldiers who put down their weapons and surrendered, we can spare their lives.

Those who resist in the corner will be shot to death. "

Those Liu Jun soldiers who could not escape heard this, threw their weapons and knelt on the ground and prayed for their lives!

There were as many as 6 or [-] soldiers who surrendered!

When Liu Heitat saw this scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Oh! I think I, Liu Heitat, have been in business for many years, but I didn't expect to have the result today!

This is really amazing me too! "

This Liu Heita really deserves to be called a titan!Liu Heita was fighting desperately on a big black horse!

This Liu Heitat's eyes were bloodshot, desperately protecting his subordinates to retreat!

This large group of Liu Heita's army headed straight for the Ming River like a tide and retreated.

Li Shimin is desperately chasing after him!

When Liu Heita's defeated army had just reached the center of the Ming River, the sound of water roared like a bull's roar.

The soldiers ran desperately to the other side of the river, and the raging river arrived in a short time.

The soldiers who ran fast had already landed on the other side of the river, but many soldiers were still swept away by the raging river.

Liu Heita led the remnants of the defeated generals and fled desperately to the north!That is no one cares about anyone.

Although the turbulent river swept away a large number of Liu Jun soldiers, it also blocked the pursuit of Li Shimin's army!
Just when Liu Heita was about to take a breather, Zhang Gongjin and Bai Xiandao led five thousand cavalry and chased after him.

Liu Heita burst into tears when he saw it!

"It's over, it's over, today is completely over! Why is my old Liu so unlucky!

The **** just got rid of the pursuers, why are there enemy cavalry on the other side of the river!

God!God!Are you really going to kill me, Liu Heiting?

I, Liu Hei, refuse to accept it! "

Seeing this, his younger brother Liu Shishan quickly persuaded him: "Brother, victory or defeat is still a common occurrence for military strategists, so losing such a battle is nothing!

The chasing cavalry didn't seem to be many, they were probably the cavalry who released the water, not the main cavalry of the Tang army.

Why are we afraid of them!Let's just get rid of them!
They have so little cavalry, do they still want to destroy us!I think that is impossible!
Although this flood has injured many of our infantry, it's nothing!Our cavalry losses are not great!

Let's retreat dozens of miles and stabilize our position before we talk about it!

I believe that if Li Shimin wants to cross the river to pursue him, it will be even more difficult!

Looking at the turbulent water, I am afraid that it will not retreat even in a day or two!

By the time they come after us again, we've already mixed up with our soldiers from the north.

Brother, why do you say you and my brother are afraid of him!

Brother, you and I will lead [-] cavalry to kill them first, let's protect our army and retreat first! "

"Well! That's all I have to do!
Brethren, let the infantry retreat!
We have so many troops, we can't let so few enemy soldiers chase and kill them like farts.

let's go!Follow me to kill them!
There are just a few birds, why are we afraid of them! "

Ho!This Liu Heitat is not so powerful!

Liu Heita, carrying a machete and his younger brother Liu Shishan, led two thousand cavalrymen and charged back after turning around.

This Liu Heita is not ordinary brave, Liu Heita took the lead and rushed towards these Tang troops.

"Junior, don't be crazy, your black grandpa Liu Heita is here.

Junior, give me your life! "

Liu Heita raised his knife and hacked to death a dozen or so Tang soldiers who were chasing him.

His younger brother Liu Shishan also hacked to death five or six cavalrymen of the Tang army!

Under the leadership of these two men, these cavalrymen of Liu Heita launched a counter-charge against the more than 5000 Tang troops!

In this melee, both sides suffered casualties. In general, the casualty rate of the Tang army was slightly higher than that of Liu Heitat's cavalry!

That Zhang Gongjin and Bai Xiandao both lost their lottery, and when they saw that they could not gain any advantage, they immediately sent an order to stop the pursuit!

Although Liu Heita's cavalry took the upper hand a little bit, after all, they have become frightened birds now.

The two sides withdrew their troops, and thus set up their troops.

Zhang Gongjin reorganized the army and checked the number of soldiers lost. During this inspection, Zhang Gongjin and Bai Xiandao burst into tears.

In the battle just now, I lost 280 seven brothers, and the enemy only lost 170 five cavalrymen!

Zhang Gongjin said with tears in her eyes: "How can Daying explain to that second brother this time?

So many people died all of a sudden! "

Bai Xiandao said: "Brother Gongjin, don't be afraid, this ugly daughter-in-law is not afraid of seeing her mother-in-law, let's go, let's clean up the battlefield, hurry back to the camp and give orders!"

Zhang Gongjin ordered people to clean up the battlefield to clear up the enemy's death toll and at the same time get all the enemy's corpses together.

After counting, the number of casualties between the enemy and us was finally figured out!
The corpses of the army were 950 people, and I lost a total of 390 people!

Zhang Gongjin ordered people to strip off the enemy's armor, and then ordered them to put the enemy's body into a small river pit and bury it.

After all this was done, Zhang Gongjin ordered the soldiers to take the stripped armor and the knives and guns discarded by the enemy and return to the camp to hand over the order.

In this battle, Li Shimin can be said to be the first big victory since the start of the war!

With 10,000+ enemy troops, at most 3 escaped alive!

Most of the enemies have been confessed here. Li Shimin has captured 6 or [-] prisoners alone!

It is estimated that the number of enemies killed was tens of thousands!
Li Shimin is very satisfied with this battle!

Anyway, after all, Li Shimin has achieved victory with less!

After Zhang Gongjin and the others returned to the camp, the sun was about to set!

Zhang Gongjin and Bai Xiandao knelt down and saluted, "Second brother, we two brothers are really sorry for you!
Second brother, you punish us brothers! "

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"You two virtuous brothers, get up quickly!

You commanded the army on the other side of the river, my second brother, I saw everything.

There is no big problem with what you command!

As for the death of so many people, there is no other way!

Two virtuous brothers, tell me, there is no such thing as an undead in this war!

As the saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred!

You two turn in your stats too!

Come down, let's reward according to merit! "

The two stood up and cupped their hands at Li Shimin.

"Thank you second brother for your tolerance! From now on, we two brothers are willing to treat crimes and make meritorious service, and kill more enemies in the future to repay second brother's kindness of tolerance!"

After finishing speaking, the two stood on the hatchback!

After the statistics of this battle came out, Li Shimin took a look and was very happy!

Li Shimin said to the generals in the account: "Everyone, everyone has worked hard today. I will treat you to a banquet later. After eating and drinking, let's discuss our next action plan together!
Everyone should speak freely, and no one can do without something. "

It wasn't too long, and eight or nine tables of banquets were set up.

Everyone is eating meat in big chunks and drinking in big bowls!The whole occasion is so lively!

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, the wine and wedding banquet was withdrawn.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "As I said just now, after dinner, let's all discuss our next action plan together!
If you are a general, which one of you will be the first to speak? "

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Zhang Gongjin stood up first.

"Second brother, after this battle, tell me what I think!

I Zhang Gongjin is an honest person, there is no twists and turns, today I will be the first to speak!
If there is something wrong, I hope everyone will criticize it more! "

Yu Chigong laughed and said, "I said Brother Zhang Xian, why are you talking so much nonsense!

Say what you want!Why bother to vomit like this! "

"Well! Since that's the case, then I'll say it.

I think so, although Liu Heita was defeated, don't look at him with only 3 or [-] people left!

However, this kid is extremely difficult to deal with!

His remaining [-] men, mostly cavalry, are all his excellent teachers!

Once this army withdraws to the north, after reuniting with his northern army, it will still be an extremely difficult force to fight against!

Just now Bai Xian and I said that we two brothers fought him together, neither of us brothers is his opponent!

Second brother, look, didn't our two brothers suffer a little injury?

Just now that kid Liu Heita was in a hurry to escape, otherwise, both of us brothers would be doomed!

Now in our Tang Dynasty, we only have so little vitality!

I don't think we should rush forward, let's fight steadily!

Second brother, what do you think? "

Li Shimin listened and nodded.

"Hmm! What you said has some truth! Indeed, although we have wiped out a large number of Liu Heita's vital forces in this battle, it is true that as you said, his elite cavalry did not lose too much!

However, if other generals of the Tang army come out to compete with me, it will be a great disadvantage to me! "

Yuchi Gong laughed out loud.

"I said the commander, in our Great Tang Dynasty, except for you who have the talent of a commander, which one do you think has the talent of a commander!
I think there is someone as handsome as you, but I am afraid there is no one! "

As soon as Yu Chigong finished speaking, Li Shimin shook his head!

"General Yuchi, what you said is really wrong, I am definitely not the only one who has the ability to command in command!

I'm afraid there are quite a few such talents!

Like Qin Shubao and Chai Shao, they all have the talents to lead the army!

By the way, Duan Wuji, the prince of Xiaoyao in the Tang Dynasty, is really a ruthless character!

He didn't lead the army much, and you haven't had much contact with him. I'm afraid that man's talent is far superior to mine!

That man is bold, cautious, and extremely adventurous!

I don't understand why my father sent my third younger brother out to lead the army, why didn't he send out Duan Wuji and his buddies, and I don't know what his old man thinks.

I heard that my third younger brother Yuan Ji is now sticking to the Handan mansion!
I heard that he brought out quite a few military generals in the court!How could he lose again and again!

Alas, I am getting more and more incomprehensible about this court affairs! "

Saying that, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly!
