Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 92
Li Er retreated one after another, and did not feel relieved until he reached a safe city.

The place he went to was a city in Youzhou.

It's called Baishui City.

There are [-] troops stationed in Baishui City, and with Li Er's current [-] to [-] troops, he can barely get together another [-] troops.

After Li Ke took Fengyang City, he moved the army to Fengyang City.

At the same time, an imperial decree was issued, asking people to pass it back to the Dragon Kingdom, asking Wu Meiniang to send officials to Baicheng, Fengyang City, and Qingyang City to directly manage these three cities.

After all, Qian is a city that has been won through hard work, so it is natural to rule it well and thoroughly.

After being stationed in Fengyang, Li Ke sent out spies to keep a close watch on the movements of Li Er and the others.

Li Er suffered consecutive defeats this time, so he was naturally very unbalanced.

After all, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, except for the very beginning, it suffered losses from the Turks.

Later, with the growth of national power, it is almost always the role of bullying others, but this kind of thing rarely happens now.

This made Li Er, who had always been extremely inflated, very uncomfortable.

In Baishui City, Li Er lashed out several times in front of the ministers.

And let these ministers find a way, no matter what, they must fight a beautiful counterattack, and must win a certain victory.

The ministers are also very troubled. If it is an ordinary battle, these talents can come up with a very good way to deal with it.

But now they are not only facing the army, but more importantly, they are facing powerful weapons.

And these weapons are not what they can deal with now.

So even though Li Er asked them to find a way, they were helpless and had nothing to do.

In this way, after living in the city for a few days, Li Er and the others did not think of any way to deal with bombs and cannons.

Before Wei Zheng proposed the method of stealing bombs and cannons, which was considered a very good strategy.

But obviously, this strategy doesn't work well for Li Ke and the others.

After the last failure, obviously it doesn't make any sense to use it again.

Unable to do so, Li Er could only order another [-] troops to be dispatched from other places.

Because according to his spies' report, Li Ke is still the one hundred thousand army, and has not transferred the army from the Dragon Kingdom.

Although Li Er was not willing to let more soldiers make meaningless sacrifices, no matter what, he hadn't seen a complete failure yet.

So send some more soldiers, maybe there is still a chance.

When the 15 troops assembled again.

Li Er's self-confidence returned a bit.

However, on the second day after his 15 army assembled, Li Ke's army marched towards Baishui City in large numbers.

In fact, Li Ke was waiting for this day.

From the very beginning, his plan was to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Even if the enemy knew its strength, he would not push the enemy to a dead end.

Because once the enemy is pushed to a dead end, the enemy will make all-out resistance.

Li Ke didn't want to fight desperately with such a Tang country, so he gave Li Er a chance to breathe, and every time he pushed Li Er to a desperate situation, he would never take another shot.

Don't force Li Er to death, let Li Er come up with a way to fight him again. In this way, Li Er's troops will be consumed slowly.

When Li Er finally wants to stand up and fight desperately, he can't come up with examples that make him fight hard like he did at the beginning.

With an army of 15 against Li Ke's army of [-], it is obvious that everyone thinks that there is still hope for Tang in this battle.

This is what Li Ke wants, he just wants to create hope for Li Er.

At the same time, when Li Er had hope, he had to break his hope.

One hundred thousand troops with bombs and cannons approached the city.

Li Er and the ministers are serious, this big battle happened outside the city again.

The Dragon Kingdom suffered losses, but the Tang Kingdom suffered even greater losses.

This time, Li Er still lost.

The 15 army lost another more than 3.

Li Ke only lost a few hundred bombs and less than a few thousand casualties.

Facing the fierce attack, Li Er had to retreat again and gave up Baishui City to Li Ke.

Li Ke still accepts as soon as he sees a deal, and doesn't push Li Er into a hurry.

After taking Baishui City, they stopped chasing Li Er who had fled.

In this way, Li Er was still not forced to die, so after he fled to another city, he still decided to continue to gather troops.

But he didn't know that in his losses one after another, each time he lost 3 to [-] people, he had already lost nearly [-] troops.

Even if he has an army of 70 million, he can't stand such consumption.

It's just that for the time being, he hasn't seen such disadvantages yet.

In the next half month, Li Ke and Li Er continued like this.

Li Ke only gets some cities and victories just right every time, and Li Er is not forced to a dead end every time.

But half a month later, there were as many as eight cities in Li Ke's hands, and Li Er once again lost about [-] soldiers and horses.

He continued to mobilize soldiers and horses from various places, but he also vaguely noticed that this battle had already caused Tang to lose 20 soldiers.

Most of these soldiers died, and a small number were injured and could no longer participate in the battle.
