The strongest Luo Chengzhi swept the world

Chapter 525 Abandoning the level and fleeing (third update, please subscribe)
The battle situation has completely fallen into a passive state, and even Li Xiaogong doesn't think there is any possibility of a comeback.

Instead of fighting to the death here, it's better to preserve a certain amount of strength, stick to Luoyang City, and still be able to deal with the enemy for a while.

After thinking a lot, Li Xiaogong finally made a decision and ordered the troops to retreat.

For Li Xiaogong, this choice was understandable.

But Yin Kaishan, who came to support him, was stunned when he heard about it.

He risked his life and brought troops to meet him, but Li Xiaogong actually ordered the troops to retreat and return to Luoyang. It must be too fast to sell his teammates!

Yin Kaishan frowned, and because of this brief absence, Lou Jicheng seized the opportunity to attack him several times in succession, forcing him to retreat, unable to fight back at all.

Now that Li Xiaogong has chosen to run away, Yin Kaishan will naturally not continue to work here.

Now that Lou Jicheng had suppressed him to death, Yin Kaishan didn't want to die here.

But different from Li Xiaogong, Yin Kaishan wanted to lead his troops back to Sishui Pass, now that the enemy army was in a hurry to attack the key point, how could he run to Luoyang with Li Xiaogong?

But something unexpected happened to Yin Kaishan.

Li Shimin led Li Yuanba and Duan Zhixuan on the Guanlou, their expressions were extremely dignified.

The enemy army is approaching menacingly, and they are completely ready for a decisive battle. They have no way out at this moment.

If you want to retreat, you can only leave this crucial Sishui Pass.

This was a choice Li Shimin didn't want to make, so he wouldn't make a conclusion until the last moment.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the blood of the two sides had already soaked the entire wall. If it weren't for Li Shimin and a few people sitting in the fortress, the defenders would have retreated long ago. How could they resist?

But even so, their remaining fighting spirit was running out.

Relying on the encouragement given by others is not lasting after all, and the weak defenders are an unchangeable shortcoming.

Tens of thousands of troops fought hard, but they could not stop the fierce attack of tens of thousands of people.

But the collapse of the defenders did not start under the enemy's attack.

On the contrary, it was because of Li Xiaogong's reinforcements, under the impact of the Xiaolong army, he finally chose to retreat to Luoyang City.

Li Xiaogong retreated with his troops, causing the defenders' last line of psychological defense to collapse.

If they had reinforcements before, then they were completely isolated and helpless at this moment, so how could they continue to fight?
"Kill, break through Sishui Pass."

"Come on, kill Li Tang's thief."

The enemy's offensive is in a hurry, and the fighting spirit is like a rainbow, which is in stark contrast to the low morale of the defenders.

They were all wondering why they had to fight hard here even though the reinforcements were able to retreat, and even lost their lives here.

How can such differential treatment boost morale?

Li Shimin was also stunned when he saw this scene.

Li Xiaogong's reinforcements would be better if they didn't come. Now that it's time for the pass, he chooses to run away, directly bringing him a wave of rhythm.

If the defenders have no fighting spirit, how can the Sishui Pass be defended?

If there is no Sishui Pass, then there will be a smooth road ahead...

Li Shimin fell into silence, he was hesitating, but he knew very well that at this moment, he had to make a decision.

The enemy's offensive became more and more fierce, but the defenders were distracted, and there was no possibility of holding on.

"In that case, the only option is to retreat."

Li Shimin said weakly.

Duan Zhixuan's expression was slightly trembling, and he exclaimed: "We have stood firm so far, should we still abandon Sishui Pass?"

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, and said: "The enemy's momentum is like a rainbow. If we can't hold the Sishui Pass, if we stay in the pass, we will become others' prisoners."

Duan Zhixuan was silent. He glanced around, and the answer he got was the same as Li Shimin's. At this moment, there is no hope of holding the Sishui Pass.

But he is not reconciled, they have worked hard for so long, but they still ended up like this.

This is really ironic, the situation has changed so hard to figure out, Duan Zhixuan suddenly let out an inexplicable laugh.

I don't know why, but there is a little sadness in this laughter.

Li Shimin nodded, and said seriously: "General Duan, dispatch soldiers immediately to abandon Sishui Pass and retreat to Luoyang City."

After a brief silence, Duan Zhixuan still chose to be unified, and slightly cupped his hands and said:

"The last will obey!"

Following Duan Zhixuan's response, the matter had settled down, except for some of the defenders who were still staying at the pass wall, the rest of the soldiers and horses were all gathered, and they were about to break out of Sishui Pass and head for Luoyang City.

Just as Li Jing thought, if there was no Sishui Pass, Luoyang City would be their next pass.

"call."

Li Shimin let out a mouthful of turbid air, as if he wanted to vomit all the unwillingness in his heart.

But he is very clear about his own situation, and retreating is the most sensible principle.

Originally they could continue to stick to the Sishui Pass, but the situation is completely disrupted now.There is not much difference between forcibly guarding the gate and waiting to die, and Li Shimin doesn't want to let himself finish here.

As the closed door opened, Li Shimin led his people to retreat.

Sishui Pass, which lost most of its defenders, was easily breached by the coalition forces.

Seeing this, the anti-kings immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Cheng also smiled in relief. Although he paid a price, he finally won the Sishui Pass.

Everything is on the right track, and the next plans can be launched one after another.

The coalition forces entered Sishui Pass, which has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and changed hands again.

……

The situation of Li Shimin abandoning the pass and fleeing was not expected by Yin Kaishan.

Originally, he thought that Sishui Pass could continue to hold fast, but before he could return to the pass, Li Shimin had led his people to retreat.

"How could this be?"

Yin Kaishan said in astonishment with a face full of disbelief.

But at this moment, time is urgent, and he is not allowed to go up and ask Li Shimin.

Li Shimin ran away with his troops, all Yin Kaishan could do at the moment was to run with them.

When Pei Yuanqing and the others saw the defenders making a big move, they were overjoyed. They knew what this meant.

Luo Cheng's plan has succeeded and Sishui Pass has been breached.

No one would not know the truth of beating a dog in the water. At this moment, Li Shimin retreated in defeat, which was a good opportunity to pursue him.

Yao Ping and his men gathered the army and went directly to pursue Li Shimin and his party, with a look of unwillingness to give up.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was also very annoyed, if it wasn't for the Xiaolong army, how could he have ended up in such a situation?
Ordinary soldiers are naturally no match for the Xiaolong army, but Li Shimin has a trump card.

He glanced coldly over the Xiaolong army, and suddenly ordered to Li Yuanba: "Yuanba, we have already abandoned the pass, and the enemy army dares to chase after you. Go and open the way and help our army break through."

Li Yuanba obeyed Li Shimin's words, and he was unequivocal at this moment, nodded and rushed forward.

Holding a pair of golden hammers for beating drums and urns in their hands, they swept across all the way, even the Xiaolong army could not resist, and dozens of people were killed or injured in an instant.

No one can stop Li Yuanba's horror except Luo Cheng.

Seeing Li Yuanba's ferocity, Yao Ping and his two looked solemn, knowing that they were invincible, so they had to lead their troops back.

After repelling the Xiaolong army, Li Shimin gathered Yin Kaishan's troops and headed towards Luoyang without further delay.
