Chapter 838: Second Li, Second World War (Part 1)
Chapter 836: Second Li and World War II (Part 1)
Although Li Shimin loved Xue Rengui''s talent, Xue Rengui was Qin Hao''s subordinate after all, and he almost killed him just now, so Li Shimin certainly didn''t want to let him go.
But at this time, the two wings of the Liang army had been completely defeated. If they could not break through, once the coalition and the three armies surrounded each other, it would be difficult for Li Shimin to leave again.
Break through and kill Xue Rengui, Li Shimin decisively chose the former.
Seeing that the enemy general was not chasing him, Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief.
The formation just now actually scared Xue Rengui. More than a dozen generals joined forces to siege and kill. If it weren''t for the fighting style of fighting with their lives, he would probably have died long ago by the siege of the enemy general.
If the generals of the Liang army are determined to kill him, ordinary soldiers alone may not be able to stop him. Of course, the final outcome will definitely be a loss.
Qin Yong and Pei Yuanqing also looked glad, but then they showed an awkward look.
The two of them originally wanted to save Xue Rengui, but they didn''t expect that they were shocked by Li Yuanba''s internal injuries after taking over the hammer. Instead, relying on Xue Rengui''s protection, they escaped from the siege of more than a dozen Liang generals.
Anyone who saves people may feel embarrassed, right?
"This time I''m really embarrassed."
Qin Yong smiled bitterly, he was also a veteran general, but who would have thought he was seriously injured by Li Yuanba with a blow.
"I didn''t expect Li Yuanba to be so strong."
Pei Yuanqing''s face was also full of bitterness, and he said awkwardly: "General Cunxiao once said that I could fight him for ten rounds, but now it seems that it is just an encouragement."
Pei Yuanqing knew that he was not Li Yuanba''s opponent, but he didn''t expect the gap to be so big. He and Qin used their joint efforts to block Li Yuanba''s flying hammer, and both were shocked to death. If this was one-on-one, he would be able to hold on for five rounds.
"I originally wanted to come to save the general, but I didn''t expect that I was saved by the general. I''m so ashamed." Pei Yuanqing said with a look of shame.
"No, if you hadn''t arrived in time, Xue Li would have been dead."
Xue Rengui''s eyes were full of gratitude and he said in a deep voice: "I can''t stop Li Yuanba''s flying hammer. Xue Li thanked the two generals for helping him."
Qin Yong and Pei Yuanqing looked at each other, and Qin Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Where is where, Rengui, you saved us too."
When he escaped in the end, Xue Rengui was almost taking turns to fight against more than a dozen generals of the Liang army with his own strength. Qin Yong and Pei Yuanqing realized that Xue Rengui was not only capable of leading troops and bows and arrows, but his strength was so superb.
It’s a pity that another powerful general who has been delayed by military tactics. Qin Yong and Pei Yuanqing thought so.
Xue Rengui''s performance just now has already convinced the two of them, so in their opinion, if Xue Rengui specializes in martial arts, he may not be able to be among the top ten of the martial arts list.
If they knew the two of them, Xue Rengui would definitely shake his head and smile bitterly, and tell them that for generals, military tactics are the king!
"Report to the general, Qin Jian and Gongsun Zan, who have defeated the enemy''s wings and are sieging Li Shimin''s troops."
"So fast?"
Xue Rengui''s eyes showed a look of surprise and said in a deep voice: "It''s great. The end of the Liang army has arrived. It''s quickly spread to the entire army. Once you continue to persevere, the Liang army will be over."
"No."
After Qin Jian and Gongsun Zan completed the encirclement, the coalition forces attacked the Liang army from three directions at the same time. Even if Li Shimin could break through, he would probably have to take the generals to break through. It would be really difficult for ordinary soldiers to escape.
However, Xue Rengui also knew that the more time the life and death was, the greater the counterattack of the Liang army would be, and they would have to withstand the last round of counterattack. It turned out that Li Shimin wanted to break through the siege head-on, and he would take away as many cavalry as he could, but now the coalition forces are already siege, so Li Shimin must abandon the crowd to protect his elites.
Until now, the defense line set up by Xue Rengui has been completely defeated by the Xuanjia Army.
Now that Li Shimin abandoned the large army and concentrated his elite troops to lead the breakthrough, this protective film that Xue Rengui worked hard to maintain was finally broken by Li Shimin.
"Report to the general, Li Shimin''s offensive is too fierce, and the brothers really can''t hold on anymore, and the Liang army is about to break through."
Xue Rengui frowned tightly. He knew that it was not because the soldiers did not use force, but the enemy''s offensive was indeed too fierce. After all, there were so many powerful generals, and it was really difficult to resist by soldiers alone, even the soldiers in the Ace Camp.
After pondering for a moment, Xue Rengui said in a deep voice: "Since he can''t stop Li Shimin and Xuanjia Army, then don''t stop him. Now he will start to intercept the Western Liang Iron Cavalry with all his strength."
"General, wouldn''t I let Li Shimin go?"
Xue Rengui glanced at the general and said lightly: "With Li Yuanba and Yuwen Cheng--all, who can keep Li Shimin? Instead of wasting his efforts on Li Shimin, it is better to work hard to cause greater casualties to the Liang army."
The generals couldn''t help but nodded. Xue Rengui was right. It was indeed difficult to capture and even kill Li Shimin under the protection of so many generals.
"In addition, the command of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Bai Li soldiers to withdraw from the battle immediately and go to pursue Li Shimin."
The reason why Xue Rengui did not send Pojun Camp to pursue was naturally because Pojun Camp was a heavy cavalry and could not catch up with the Xuanjia Army with speed.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Baili Soldiers are currently light cavalry, so they can naturally catch up and follow and kill, causing another round of damage to the escaped Liang army.
"Kill, rush out."
Under the joint efforts of the five war gods including Li Yuanba and more than a dozen Liangzhou generals, Li Shimin finally broke through the encirclement of the three aces including Pojunying. He then directed his subordinates to escape to Hulao Pass while counting the number of people.
"How many people did Xuanjia Army rush out?"
"There are only more than 3,000 generals."
“Where are the rest of the teams?”
“There are only more than two thousand.”
"Have General Yujuluo clashed out?"
"Here comes out, but General Yu Juluo only has dozens of cavalry left by his side."
Li Shimin had known that this battle would have suffered heavy casualties, but after hearing the report from his subordinates, he couldn''t help but take a breath.
There are 50,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry, including 8,000 Xuan Armored Essence Cavalry, but only more than 5,000 broke through, and one out of ten is not left!
Li Shimin endured the grief in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Retreat quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, bad news came again.
"Report to the general, the coalition forces are catching up, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Bai Li soldiers are coming."
Li Shimin''s fear changed and shouted, "Get out quickly."
Under the pursuit of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Bai Li soldiers, nearly a thousand people broke out of the Liang army suffered casualties, while the damage to the pursuit coalition was minimal, but Li Shimin didn''t care about these.
Li Shimin led the Liang army to flee for ten miles. When he arrived at an intersection, he found that the road ahead was already covered with enemy soldiers, and the leader was Li Cunxiao, the most powerful general of the Qin army.
