I’m Marquis in Great Tang

When Li Ji evacuated, he arrived at the entrance of the camp and stopped and gasped for breath.

He suddenly noticed that his back was hot.

There is also pain under the ribs.

I picked up my robe and saw that it had been injured by the bombing, and the clothes were soaked with blood.

Li Ji grinned in pain at the moment.

When I ran before, I didn’t feel it, because life and death are fast, so I dare not delay. All the attention was on running and evacuation, not dare to stop. Now that he escaped, he realized his injuries.

“Retreat, retreat!”

At this moment, Qin Qiong’s shout came again.

Qin Qiong rushed out on horseback.

He was carrying an army before attacking from another place. Some time after he entered, he also began to be affected by the Gunpowder explosion, so he could only retreat. Qin Qiong was getting closer and closer to Li Ji. When he approached Li Ji, Qin Qiong did not dare to delay the time and shouted: “Manager Li, retreat, retreat at full speed, Du Qi’s army has begun to attack and kill.”

Li Jiteng’s face suddenly changed.

Du Qi is so fast.

He no longer delays time or waits for the rest of the people, and continues to evacuate with Qin Qiong with the army.

Everyone, fled in embarrassment.

The same goes for the other Tang Army generals.

All fled in panic.

The army under Du Qi has already begun to cover up and kill. This army of cover-ups was a cavalry led by Xue Rengui. Under the bright moonlight, the horse can see the nearby area at close range, so it can see the road clearly.

The cavalry covered up, and the Tang Army who escaped suffered more casualties.

The army led by Li Ji retreated. When it was close to Shazhou City, fortunately, there were some people led by Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and the others, and Wei Shuyu who led the way. The army, so Li Ji and the others retreated, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Shuyu and the others immediately led their troops to respond, and then withdrew their troops together.

Li Ji didn’t dare to stay in Shazhou City at all.

Because there is insufficient food in the city.

And lack of troops.

Li Ji led the army to evacuate quickly. He didn’t know how many soldiers were lost in this battle, but Li Ji knew that the loss of forces in this battle was definitely not worse than Li Shimin, or even worse.

The army quickly evacuated, and the army led by Li Ji stopped until midnight.

Now Li Ji’s army has arrived at the Northern Part of City in Shazhou.

The area near the Great Lake.

In the Northern Part of City, Shazhou, there is a swamp lake named Sishilize. According to Li Ji’s original plan, Du Qi’s army arrived in Shazhou City. Once the two sides fought, the army led by Li Ji would evacuate to the area of ​​Forty Rize, in order to avoid Du Qi’s pursuit.

In the vicinity of this area, there are grain and troops placed by Li Ji.

Li Ji ordered the army to stop and rest.

At the same time, count the losses.

The people under Li Ji’s command lightly tapped, and finally came to Li Ji’s side, reporting: “Manager Li, the forces around us are now less than 50,000. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, etc. The generals have all led back to the army. However, General Liu Hongji and General Qu Tutong did not come back. Life or death is uncertain.”

shua!

Li Ji’s face changed sharply.

Liu Hongji and Qu Tutong, they are two generals.

This is the main general in the army.

Li Ji’s expression changed again and again. Because at the moment, he doesn’t know what to do for a while.

Too miserable!

The army of more than 200,000 people, now only less than 50,000 people have come back. Even afterwards, many soldiers will be withdrawn, but the ultimate loss is doomed, and it must be countless losses.

Li Ji looked towards Zhangsun Wuji, said solemnly: “Duke of Qi, how is it now?”

Zhangsun Wuji looked at the miserable soldiers around and sighed. At this moment, he was really a bit decadent, because the battle was too heart-warming and the defeat was too miserable.

Especially Du Qi this time asking monarch to enter the urn, they took the initiative to get in.

Wei Zheng said solemnly: “Manager Li, this is the end of the matter, and Shazhou must not be able to hold it. My suggestion is that we directly withdraw our troops and leave Shazhou and return to Suzhou to guard. Suzhou city After repairs and reinforcements, there is even a urn city. The city is built with blue stones. Even if Du Qi’s weapons are powerful, it may not be able to explode the city. When the time comes, we stick to the city and can resist Du Qi’s The army.”

Li Ji was a little silent. After a long time, he said: “Our current military strength, even if we retreat to Suzhou, facing the attack of Du Qi hiding the sky and covering the earth, I am afraid it is not easy. “

Wei Zheng said: “No matter what, there is always a glimmer of hope.”

Qin Qiong is still aside, he opened the mouth and said: “Manager Li, Duke of Qi and Wei Xiang, we are now evacuating Shazhou. Although Shazhou City fell, the counties in Shazhou belonged to Great Tang and never belonged to Du Qi. We guarded these places, and there is still considerable Opportunity.”

Li Ji shook his head and said: “I can’t hold it, the county towns of all counties are worse than Shazhou City. Du Qi’s shots go down, and the cities of all counties collapsed. We are now The strength of the army is no longer comparable to Du Qi, and simply can’t defend. Whether it’s defensive or head-on confrontation, we can’t win now.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “It’s so persistent, only Can give Du Qi a chance to wipe us out.”

Qin Qiong stopped talking immediately.

Now this situation is too bad.

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin opened the mouth and said: “Manager Li, I don’t know much about the layout of Old Cheng. However, we are now in the area of ​​Forty Rize. , Why not use this area to wander around and entangle with Du Qi’s army.”

“Next, we will break up into parts, spread the army, arrange to hide in various places, and go around with Du Qi’s The army is fighting. Because they are all dispersed, Du Qi’s army cannot annihilate us.”

“Once Du Qi divides his forces to encircle and suppress, we can fight each other and destroy Du Qi’s army little by little. Du Qi occupied Shazhou and Guazhou, and we can also arrange part of our forces to go to Guazhou and let them attack the government offices and towns under Du Qi in Guazhou. In this way, we have a chance to contend. “

“Du Qi’s army is going to Suzhou, then let him go, we will do damage behind Du Qi. Even, we can go one step further and go directly to Du Qi’s Iraq State.”

Cheng Yaojin said: “In this way, we can mobilize Du Qi’s army and gain the advantage of this battle. If we meet force with force, we will definitely lose.”

p>

Li Ji’s eyes lit up when he heard it.

Cheng Yaojin’s approach is feasible.

Splitting troops is the best strategy.

Because in today’s defeat, Li Ji is unwilling to retreat in a desperate manner, so he can only divide his troops and continue fighting. Anyway, now he doesn’t care about the city’s defense, spare no effort and fight Du Qi.

Li Ji looked towards Zhangsun Wuji and said: “Duke of Qi, what do you think?”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “I agree!”

Li Ji He looked towards Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng immediately agreed. The other generals who came back with him held the same opinion. Because at the moment, this is the only choice. Otherwise, they can only evacuate in despair.

This is what everyone does not want.

Li Ji said immediately: “Since this is the case, we will divide our forces next. But at the moment, there will definitely be a certain amount of troops coming to 40 Rize, so we will wait another night. Tomorrow morning, Separate their troops and leave. When the time comes, they bring weapons and food and leave, and then fight separately.”

paused, Li Ji gathered all the generals under his command together, quickly made arrangements, and put them under his command. Everyone in the group made their own arrangements. Whether it was Qin Qiong, or Cheng Yaojin and the others, they all got a part of their troops, and they all had to fight in Shazhou.

After Li Ji made arrangements, he also began to rest.

In order to restore the spirit.
