Man Tanghong

Chapter 700 The Outrageous Battle (48)

Li Shimin was a little reconciled, but Li Yuanji had already made a decision, so he couldn't say anything more.

"Send the order, the whole army retreats ten miles!"

Li Yuanji ordered in a loud voice.

Yu Wenbao agreed with a solemn face, and ordered someone to ring the gong.

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who were confronting the common people and seeing the common people approaching them step by step, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Set up the shield well, don't mess up, work as a team, retreat slowly, don't leave your back to the enemy!"

Hou Junji and Li Shentong rode horses, shouting, and commanding the army to retreat.

The army retreated to five miles, and retreated to the side of Baimachuan. After some people had stepped into the water of Baimachuan, the common people followed.

Li Shimin straddled his horse, snorted coldly and said, "I told you that Xieli will make progress, you still don't believe me!"

Li Yuanji looked at the darkness and saw no people who stopped at all, and said with emotion: "Believe it, why don't you believe it, but even so, we can't attack our own people."

"The kindness of women!!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, and crossed the Baimachuan alone.

The Baimachuan in Huaian is the source of the Baimachuan, so the current is not strong, and the deepest part only reaches the knees of people.

Li Shimin rode past without any hindrance at all.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji ordered, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Let the sword and shield soldiers pass first, followed by the crossbowmen and the cavalry."

The reason for this arrangement is also because the sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen are obviously not as mobile as the cavalry. Xieli has no intention of stopping after chasing for five miles, and it is very likely that he will continue to chase.

Therefore, let the sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen pass first, and let the cavalry lead the formation, which is safer.

After all, even if the people driven by Xieli reached the cavalry, it was impossible to stop the cavalry from retreating, and the Turkic cavalry behind the people could not pass the people and fight directly with the Tang cavalry.

Under the arrangement of Yu Wenbao, Hou Junji, Li Shentong and others, the soldiers crossed the Baima River in an orderly manner.

After Jieli drove the people to Baimachuan, he really had no intention of stopping, and drove the people to continue to Baimachuan.

Although the time has come to the first month, the river in Baimachuan is still piercing. As soon as the people entered the river, they were beaten by the cold. want to run back.

But without exception, they were all suppressed by the Turkic people lurking among them.

Li Daoli was furious when he saw it, and he kept begging for orders: "Fourth brother, give me a team, let me take a detour to teach the Turkic people a lesson."

Li Yuanji opened his mouth, and just about to speak, he heard Chang Sun Shunde say angrily, "Maybe the Turks are waiting for you to go over."

Li Daoli frowned, and stared at Changsun Shunde with dissatisfaction.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Daoli, and said angrily: "Elder Changsun is right. Since Jieli dared to do this, he must have arranged for a backup. Maybe his people are behind the people, waiting for you. You can't bear to rush." Go over, and then surround you and annihilate you in one fell swoop.

So even if you can't bear it, you have to endure it. "

Li Daoli stared angrily and said: "Are we going to watch the Turks ruin the people of our Tang Dynasty like this?"

Li Yuanji sighed and said: "If you can't stand it, you have to watch it. When we were in close combat, we made the decision to retreat, which is already the biggest concession.

If we disregard the life and death of the soldiers and let the soldiers save the people, there is a high chance that the soldiers will fall into a tight siege.

So we can only watch helplessly until Su Dingfang and the others arrive. "

Li Daoli clenched his fist with an unwilling face, and smashed it on the saddle angrily.

Li Yuanji sighed again. He actually wanted to save those people more than Li Daoli, but he knew very well that if he couldn't save them at this time, he would fall into the trap of the Turkic people.

At that time, it will really become the benevolence of a woman.

In the evening, the army retreated to the back six miles of Baimachuan. The Turks finally stopped and set up camp in the same place. The people were surrounded by the cattle and horse pens they built with sheepskin ropes like livestock.

The officers and soldiers were furious looking at it, and many of them wished they could go out and fight the Turkic people right now.

"Let people bury the pot to make a meal, hurry up, there should be a big show to be staged when night falls."

After Li Shimin rode a horse and wandered around indiscriminately, he suddenly appeared in front of Li Yuanji and said.

Li Yuanji didn't know what Li Shimin's words meant, and he didn't know what the drama Li Shimin was talking about, but since Li Shimin had spoken, it meant that there was a [-]% chance that it would happen, so he had to do what Li Shimin said.

Li Yuanji sent someone to call Hou Junji and Li Shentong who were restraining the soldiers, and asked them to order their respective gang leaders to cook as soon as possible.

When the cooking smoke was rising everywhere in the camp, the big drama Li Shimin mentioned had already begun.

A group of Turkic people drove dozens of people and appeared in the open space between the two armies. The leading Turkic man dropped two knives and hung up a piece of meat, and then told all the people that the last two people who survived This piece of meat can be shared.

Ever since, the villains among the people quickly ran towards the two knives.

The old and weak women and children were still standing there foolishly, unable to do anything but cry.

The five villains fought for the knife, and three of them died on the spot. It seemed that the two brothers got the knife in the end.

After they got the knife, they looked at the others fiercely.

When they were about to attack, they were stopped by an elder in the crowd. Seeing how the two villains struggled, the elder should be their elder, otherwise they would not be able to stand where they were already hungry Listen to the reprimand.

The leading Turkic came out at this time and shouted, "After a stick of incense, if there are three or more of you alive, you will all die."

Hearing the words of the leading Turkic man, the evil thoughts in the hearts of the two villains finally defeated the good thoughts, stabbed their elder to death without hesitation, and then rushed to the others.

Several men in the crowd wanted to protect their own women and children, joined hands to resist the villain, and finally drove the villain out of the crowd.

Seeing this, the Turks fired a round of arrows, shooting several of the men who were protecting their women and children to death on the spot.

Seeing that the Turks were helping them, the two villains rushed towards the crowd again.

After a stick of incense, after the last baby was stabbed to death by the villains, the two villains finally got the piece of meat rewarded by the Turks, and then fought on the ground like wild dogs.

"Bring dozens more people up!"

The leading Turkic gave an order, and dozens of people were brought up, and two knives were also thrown down.

However, this time, a few righteous men came out of dozens of people. They drove the others aside before starting to fight for the knife. Several people fought fiercely around the knife, but no damage was seen, and several people were fighting While holding the knife, he kept approaching the Turkic people.

When they were one foot away from the Turkic people, they suddenly jumped up and killed the Turkic people.

The Turks seemed to have expected that they would be like this, so they swung their scimitars when they exploded.

A few righteous men were beheaded by the Turks without hurting the Turkic people at all. The Turkic people even used a machete to pick up their heads and ran wildly in the open space, cheering wildly.

After running wildly and cheering, they all shot and killed the remaining people with arrows.

They were doing this as a warning to those who were brought up afterward.

Their warnings were very effective, and the third group of people who were brought up obediently did what they said, but in the end, they ran out of time and were shot dead by them.

"Happy to kill, beast!"

After watching the two battles, Cai Yungong stood on the watchtower and kept jumping and cursing.

Everyone else looked gloomy.

Li Yuanji gritted his molars and asked Li Shimin, who was watching with gusto, "Is this the big show you're talking about?"

Li Shimin laughed sarcastically and said, "Where is this going? The fun is yet to come!"

Li Yuanji said angrily: "You seem to be very happy to see the people in my Tang Dynasty killing each other?"

Li Shimin slowly put away the smile on his face, and said coldly: "What can I do if I am not happy, can I rush out to fight with them, can I fall into their ambush?"

Li Yuanji clenched his fists and said, "You can't stop this?"

Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Yes!"

He said, pointing to the place where the Turkic people were having fun, "You take a team of fine cavalry and kill those Turkic people. In a short time, Xieli will not send another wave of people."

Cai Yungong was taken aback when he heard this, and shouted in horror: "Li Shimin, what is your intention?"

Li Shimin glanced at Cai Yungong coldly, and then looked at Li Yuanji with a half-smile.

Li Yuanji also frowned and stared at Li Shimin.

He knew very well that Li Shimin was not aimlessly targeting. Under such circumstances, he was the only one who was able to lead people out without any damage.

No matter how many ambushes the Turks set up, they could not stop him.

After all, the terrain here is flat and there is no danger to rely on. He left before the ordnance that could threaten him was brought up.

So he went, with a certain chance, he killed the group of Turkic people who were having fun, and even saved some people.

But he also has to bear a huge risk, that is, he will be trapped in a tight siege, unable to escape, and will be consumed by the Turkic people in the end.

The most important thing is that after he went, if Li Shimin took the opportunity to escape with all the soldiers and horses, then he would definitely die.

"Your Highness, please don't believe Li Shimin's nonsense."

Seeing Li Yuanji frowning and staring at Li Shimin without speaking, Cai Yungong's heart beat wildly. He didn't care about Li Shimin's identity anymore, and called Li Shimin by his name again, bluntly saying that Li Shimin had bad intentions.

Li Yuanji ignored Cai Yungong, but stared straight at Li Shimin and said, "Okay! I'll go!"
