Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Unable to withstand the blows from the artillery fire, Li Er led his army to evacuate in disgrace and fled directly to Jinzhou.

Even on the way to escape, before they got out of the range of Li Yuanji's artillery bombardment, they were still constantly covered by the intensive artillery fire.

Among them, the most powerful ones, especially those based on naval guns, have a caliber 20 to 30 millimeters larger than that of heavy artillery guns, and their killing range is even more extensive.

Li Er didn't stop to take a few breaths and rest until he escaped from the area covered by the artillery.

Li Er no longer had any dignity as an emperor at this moment. His hair was a little messy and he was greedily breathing in the beautiful air.

Looking at the injured people, Li Er immediately called someone to start treating them.

"Jingde, Shubao, please bear with me for a while. I have sent someone to call a doctor."

Yuchi Gong had shrapnel in his waist and thighs, while Qin Qiong had injuries on his back and legs. Although no vital parts were injured, both of them lost a lot of blood due to the continuous journey, especially Qin Qiong, who had hidden injuries to begin with and was now dying.

"Your Majesty, I am fine. Please do not stay here. It is not safe here. If Li Yuanji sends troops to attack, it will be difficult to leave."

Both of them were very clear about their situation and they didn't hold out much hope. Now they just hoped that Li Er could escape back.

As for what to do after escaping back, they couldn't think about it and couldn't control it.

Cheng Yaojin, who was standing aside, was holding Qin Qiong in his arms. The big man just started crying, crying very sadly.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong have an extremely good relationship. They have known each other for many years and have an extremely deep relationship.

Just then, the doctor finally arrived and began to bandage the two people.

While the doctor was treating the two people, Li Er called the others to another place.

"Now that Li Yuanji has won a great victory, my army of hundreds of thousands has suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them killed or wounded, and many of them have fled.

It is getting late now, Li Yuanji will certainly not continue the attack. He will certainly think that I will keep running away until I escape back to Chang'an.

This time I really saw it. It turns out that war can be fought this way. I also fully realized the power of firearms. He probably thought I was afraid. "

Li Er was filled with emotion. This battle could be said to have completely opened his eyes. This way of fighting was the first time he had seen it.

When experiencing this, Li Er was indeed afraid. He knew about firearms, but he didn't know that firearms could have the effect he experienced. He was indeed shocked at the time.

Especially the disastrous defeats of various armies made Li Er disheartened and he saw no hope.

But now, he has stood up, and he, Li Er, will never give up so easily.

Li Er looked closely at Li Ji and others in front of him, and spoke slowly and solemnly.

"Li Yuanji thought I had escaped, but I refused to leave!
Tonight, I plan to attack Li Yuanji's camp at night!

Doesn’t he rely on the power of his firearms?
Then let him see tonight what a real war is.

This time we will not only give Li Yuanji a taste of his own medicine, but after repelling him, we can use his artillery and muskets to attack them, so that they too will have a taste of what it feels like to be beaten like this!"

Li Er's eyes were sharp. Everyone thought he would continue to escape, but this time he chose to do the opposite.

Li Yuanji displayed a strength that made people despair, but even so, could this make him retreat like this?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Li Er is not a man who would sit and wait for death. Even if there is a last chance, no matter how slim it is, he will give it a try and find a way out.

And now, it is the opportunity in Li Er's eyes. Of his hundreds of thousands of troops, only one in ten is left. Some of them did not escape or ran away. Especially those armies from other countries, that is, his mercenaries, almost all the survivors have run away.

Although he still has more than 100,000 troops now, I'm afraid that less than 100,000 of them can be organized.

Li Er knew very well that if he retreated to Chang'an, he would see no hope. This counterattack would be the last one he could make.

As long as this counterattack can severely injure Li Yuanji and obtain Li Yuanji's firearms, Li Er is confident that he can stand up again and eliminate Li Yuanji.

The 200,000 men he recruited in the rear could all be sent to the battlefield at that time, and he could still maintain the attack on Li Yuanji.

But all of these require a prerequisite, that is, he can achieve the desired results by attacking Li Yuanji at night.

The more others looked down on him, the more he wanted to become stronger. He wanted to let Li Yuanji know that even if he mastered those advanced and powerful firearms, it did not mean that the overall situation was settled!

Li Ji and others were shocked and their eyes lit up when they heard Li Er talk about the night attack.

They were all famous generals of the time. At the moment, everyone was stunned by Li Yuanji's cannons. In addition, Li Er was here, so they didn't think about anything else but to bring Li Er back to Chang'an safely.

Now that Li Er proposed it, everyone felt that the night attack had a high chance of success.

Now that Li Yuanji has won a great victory and has control of these firearms, he must be getting cocky. In addition, their losses are too heavy, with all the baggage in the camp lost. Li Yuanji must be thinking that they are all scrambling to flee.

Launching a night attack at this time also has the highest chance of success.

Everyone looked at Li Er with fiery eyes. Even though Li Er did not show the majesty of an emperor at the moment, everyone admired him even more.

This is their Majesty. Even in desperate situations, he can come up with solutions, and the feasibility is very high.

Everyone who had originally lost hope now rekindled their fighting spirit. At this moment, they saw hope again.

"Your Majesty, please give the order. I will die for you!"

Everyone spoke in unison. They all knew very well that once Li Yuanji took over the world, they, as losers, would not end up well.

As long as Li Er still has hope, they are willing to fight.

This is not only because they are loyal to Li Er, but also because their interests are one with Li Er. Compared with external enemies like Li Yuanji, they are one.

Li Er looked at his generals and felt more confident. The army's morale was high!
"Okay, with you all here, I believe that we will be the winner in the end!"

"Next, you go down and prepare and organize the army. We will directly attack the camps of Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang. If we can capture the camps within two hours, we will take their artillery and muskets and directly attack Li Yuanji's central army.

Once Li Yuanji is killed here, we will be completely worry-free.

At the same time, we also need to guard against support from Li Yuanji's other armies, so we divided our troops into three locations this time."

Li Er said this and looked at the generals.

"Zhijie, lead the troops to the left wing. Once the enemy comes to reinforce, do not let anyone come here until the battle here is over!"

"I accept your order!"

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and responded.

Li Er then looked at the other person.

"Yanyun (Dugu Yanyun), you lead the army to the right wing. Similarly, the battle is not over yet, and no one can be allowed to come over!"

"I accept your order!"

Li Er arranged everything one by one, then looked at Li Ji and others.

"This time I will personally lead the troops to attack the enemy camp at night!"

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as Li Er said this, Li Ji and others all opposed it.

"Your Majesty, how can you take the risk yourself? We will surely die in this battle. Please trust us!" "Please trust us!"

Everyone opposed in unison. They were really afraid that something might happen to Li Er. If something really happened to Li Er, even if they won in the end, it would be difficult for everyone in them.

Moreover, charging into the battlefield is what they are supposed to do. If Li Er goes there himself, what are the needs of them?

Although the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty often led his troops to fight and charge into battle himself, how many capable generals were there during Zhu Di's time?
If Zhu Di does not lead the troops himself, who will?
The only ones who could clash with Li Er's subordinates were Zhu Di's father Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da's subordinates under Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty.

With such a luxurious team, it makes no sense for the emperor to lead the charge himself.

In the eyes of these people, the emperor personally riding a horse to kill the enemy was a sign of their incompetence.

Seeing that all the generals opposed it, Li Er finally sighed.

"In that case, I will leave this battle to you, Li Ji, to command. I am here, waiting for your triumphant return!"

Following Li Er's arrangement, everyone immediately began to prepare and started to deploy troops.

In Li Yuanji's camp, Li Yuanji was extremely happy at the moment because Li Er had escaped in a panic and he beat Li Er so badly that he had no power to fight back.

Li Yuanji knew better than anyone else in the world how powerful Li Er was. He could be said to be the strongest carbon-based creature in the seventh century. Yet, wasn't he being beaten and fleeing in embarrassment by him?
Now Li Yuanji took advantage of the situation and occupied Li Er's camp. Seeing that all the baggage in the camp had not been taken away, he could guess how miserable Li Er was.

Li Yuanji felt extremely comfortable at this moment. When he was in Chang'an City, he was worried that he would die in that vortex. Even after coming to Lingnan, he was really worried in the first few years, and he was really afraid that Li Er would attack him.

He was still weak at that time. Even if he chose the location of his final palace, he could only choose one near the sea because he could develop the navy there. If Li Er really came, he could still run away if he couldn't defeat him.

At that time, Li Er was very powerful, so he could only do this. Did he really think he liked coming to Leizhou?
He came to Leizhou because he had no other choice.

At that time, Guangzhou was occupied by Feng Ang, and Li Yuanji didn't know Feng Ang's attitude. He only had 30,000 men and so many family members with him. He didn't want to fight with Feng Ang. Whether he won or lost, it would waste his time.

Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to come to Leizhou.

It is remote enough and close to the sea. No matter where Li Er attacks from, he has time to prepare and is ready to escape directly by sea.

After so many years, the offense and defense have changed, he has become stronger, and he no longer has to worry. He really doesn't want to live that kind of life again.

While Li Yuanji was daydreaming, Xie Shufang quickly came up to him.

"My lord, we were a little late in pursuit, and Li Er escaped."

Li Yuanji sighed when he heard this. In fact, he didn't expect Li Er to run so fast.

He just wanted to show off his firepower first. Now that he was so powerful, he was planning to launch a full-scale attack tomorrow, but Li Er couldn't bear it and ran away.

Li Yuanji shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"It doesn't matter. He ran away now. When we march to the gates of Chang'an in the future, he won't be able to escape."

Xie Shufang thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he went down to organize the army.

It can be said that all the people under Li Yuanji were extremely happy about this great victory, and everyone was immersed in laughter.

In everyone's eyes, Li Yuanji won, captured Chang'an, killed Li Er and became emperor. All of them became his loyal subjects.

In this joyful atmosphere, evening gradually arrived.

Li Yuanji stayed alone in the tent, and at this moment he still felt that it was a little unreal.

Yes, Li Yuanji had a very unreal feeling, because he knew how powerful Li Er was. How could he just bombard Li Er and drive him away?
In Li Yuanji's eyes, no matter how powerful Li Er was, he wouldn't be able to escape so easily, right?
Li Yuanji couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and walked into the camp.

Inside the camp, everyone was partying. Although there was no alcohol to drink, everyone was eating meat and sitting around the campfire, chatting, chasing and fighting, playing games, and talking about their own bravery.

Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang were also having a party. When they learned that Li Yuanji was walking outside the camp, they came to Li Yuanji and followed him.

Li Yuanji looked at the scenes in the camp with a frown on his face.

"Shufang, Dingfang, are you on guard? Have you sent out scouts? Has the army taken turns?"

Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang were both stunned when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, Ding Fang and I thought that since we have won a great victory and there are no enemies left, we will not arrange any scouts, but we have arranged the guards and shifts."

Li Yuanji saw that Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang were both a little careless, and his brows instinctively frowned even tighter.

Li Yuanji knew better than anyone that popping champagne at halftime was a bad idea. Before taking Chang'an, Li Yuanji did not dare to take it lightly, even though he had defeated Li Er.

Li Yuanji then looked at the two of them.

"Your current state is not good. The war is not over yet. We have only won a stage of victory. Have you become so lax at this moment?

Look at you, no one is alert. If Li Er attacks at night, you..."

When Li Yuanji said this, his pupils suddenly shrank. Although others might think it was ridiculous, Li Yuanji suddenly felt that this possibility was very high.

He knew that Li Er was not the kind of person who would give up easily, and he had outstanding abilities. Now that they had won a great victory, everyone was like this. Li Er had fought on the battlefield for so many years, and he didn't understand firearms, but didn't Li Er understand what the army's status was at every moment?

Li Yuanji immediately looked at Yang Jianhe.

"Send a telegram immediately! Tell all the troops that Li Er will launch a night attack tonight. Tell them to pay attention, set up camp, and ambush Li Er!"

Watching Yang Jianhe hurriedly go down to deliver the order, Li Yuanji then looked at Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang.

"What are you guys still standing there for? Can't you hear what I just said?

Li Er will definitely attack the camp tonight, you guys go down and prepare immediately, and ambush Li Er!"

Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang stared with their eyes wide open, full of disbelief. Li Er suffered such heavy losses, and there were probably only more than 100,000 soldiers left out of the hundreds of thousands of troops? Even so, Li Er still dared to launch a night attack?

They couldn't even withstand the artillery bombardment and had to flee in a panic, so how could they attack them at night?

After all, the two were famous generals, and they quickly came to their senses. When they regained their rationality, they both felt that it was extremely possible.

Soldiers who, deception also.

The more impossible it is, the more possible it seems.

The two men were covered in cold sweat and looked at Li Yuanji with admiration.

"The last general takes command!"

The two were really scared. If Li Yuanji hadn't reminded them, they really wouldn't have thought about this.

Li Yuanji watched the two people hurried down, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

Although he said that Li Er would launch a night attack tonight, he actually didn't know. He was just guessing. He felt that Li Er was not the kind of person who would give up easily. In addition, given the current state of the army, he instinctively felt that Li Er would come.

Anyway, no matter whether Li Er comes or not, he just needs to make preparations.

If Li Er really comes, then we will deal with him thoroughly. If Li Er doesn't come, it doesn't matter if we have worked in vain.

Then Li Yuanji thought of something and hurried to the telegraph machine and sent a telegram to Xi Junmai and Xue Wanche.

Because the ones with the most cavalry are Xi Junmai and Xue Wanche. (End of this chapter)
