Chapter 914: The new war **** Xue Rengui
Chapter 912: The new war **** Xue Rengui
Shortly after the retreat horn issued by the Liang army, Zhang Xutuo also issued a retreat order, and the Liang army who were still alive after breaking into the Longmen Formation could not wait to retreat in great eagerness.
It’s not enough to be anxious. After passing the Dragon Gate Formation, they knew what the Gate of Hell is, so how could they still be willing to stay in such a terrible place for a long time?
The tragic level of the battle at the Dragon Gate Formation is beyond anyone’s imagination.
In the early stages of the war, Xue Rengui first trapped more than 6,000 troops from Yin Kaishan and Liu Hongji, and then trapped two troops from Li Yuanba and Jia Fu, with a total of 16,000 troops.
In order to stop Li Shimin''s army''s general attack, Xue Rengui divided the most elite three thousand camps to block the enemy, relying only seven thousand ordinary soldiers to block the 16,000 elite Liang army.
Later, Li Shimin added 4,000 troops again and sent Li Keyong and Zhang Xutuo to lead the troops to attack. The two generals took advantage of Xue Rengui''s time to take care of it and cooperated with the inside and outside, and finally broke through the Longmen Formation.
In other words, Xue Rengui commanded seven thousand soldiers, but he had been fighting with nearly three times his enemy troops.
You should know that the seven thousand soldiers in the Longmen Formation set up by Xue Rengui are not trumpet elites like the Cang camp. The comprehensive quality of the soldiers is directly different from that of the Liang army. If it weren''t for the Longmen Formation, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Relying on these ordinary soldiers, Xue Rengui achieved extremely brilliant results.
Before the Longmen Formation completely collapsed, the first batch of Liang troops who entered the formation were almost dead, and more than half of the second batch of 10,000 troops were also injured or killed.
If it weren''t for the third batch of Li Ke''s 4,000 troops, Xue Rengui could have even exhausted all the first two batches of Liang troops to death.
Unfortunately, no matter how exquisite the formation is, it has a limit to endure, and the Dragon Gate Formation is no exception, while Li Keyong and Zhang Xutuo have touched this limit.
When the Dragon Gate Formation just collapsed, there were about 5,000 troops in the seven thousand coalition.
In other words, Xue Rengui annihilated more than 10,000 troops of the Liang army with less than 2,000 casualties.
When the final decisive battle began and when Li Shimin issued a retreat, the coalition forces had only a thousand troops left.
More than 4,000 coalition forces died in the final battle, and of course, the Liang army also suffered more than 3,000 casualties.
Twenty thousand Liang soldiers entered the battle, but only eight thousand were still alive, while more than five thousand were killed in the seven thousand coalition forces, which shows how tragic this battle was.
So, after Li Shimin''s retreat order came, the soldiers who were still alive wanted to cry. It was really not easy to be alive, so of course they had to retreat quickly.
Although Xue Rengui was determined to pursue, the remaining soldiers were almost wounded and could not afford the task of pursuing them.
Although Xue Rengui and other generals did not suffer much, they just killed the enemy and were a little weak, but they could not help them to pursue them without the soldiers!
"Arrange a defensive formation to prevent the Liang army from returning, and in addition..."
Looking at the retreating Liang army, he looked at the stone-treating convoy that had been destroyed by more than 80% of the destroyed stone-treating convoys. A trace of gratitude flashed deep in the bottom of Xue Rengui, and then ordered: "Check the stone-treating convoy immediately to see how many stone-treating cars are intact, which can be repaired, and which parts can still be used..." ????[Dingdong, Xue Rengui deployed a dragon gate formation to block Li Shimin''s 32,000 troops, and achieved the achievement of the "Great Swing Dragon Gate", and rewarded the commander permanent +1 and the force permanent +1. Currently, Xue Rengui''s fifth dimension: commander 100, force 105, intelligence 85, politics 76, charm 97. 】
If Lu Bu is currently the first and only general who has reached the level of the God of War by improving a little bit, then Xue Rengui is the first and only one among all the summoned generals to be improved.
Xue Rengui became the fourth **** of war under Qin Hao, but compared to those powerful generals who were born as gods of war, his current foundation is still slightly worse!
There was more than one Longmen formation in the battle before Hulao Pass. As for the camp, Zhao Yun and other generals did not order to pursue the camp when they saw the Liang army retreating. The reason was naturally because the camp was heavy infantry.
In the battle just now, Zhao Yun and other generals were entangled by the Liang army generals, but without the generals, they still blocked the 12,000 Liang army and achieved the result of killing three thousand enemies and losing one thousand themselves.
The Sanqian Clan camp faced more than four times its enemy, but still suffered one-to-three casualties. Although such a record was not as amazing as the Longmen Formation, it was still very rare. The Clan camp once again proved its reputation as a strong army in the world!
"Zhao Zilong, let''s be here today. I will decide to take your head next time!"
Wu Yunzhao said with a look of reluctance, then rode his horse to retreat with the soldiers.
Zhao Yun was gasping for breath, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. If Zuo Tiancheng had not been on the sidelines in this battle between him and Wu Yunzhao, even if he could not kill Wu Yunzhao, he would have defeated him.
On the other hand, Huang Zhong saw that Xin Wenli and Qiu Rui were about to escape, so he immediately took the bow and arrow to take them to kill them, but because he ignored He Ruobi, he reminded the two generals to avoid the key points.
On the way back to Hulao Pass, all the generals of the Liang army gathered together, and Li Shimin also met Lu Bu and Houyi.
Li Shimin looked at Houyi who was seriously injured and dying, and was already unconscious, and was shocked: "The strongest generals of the coalition forces are all in the Longmen Formation. Who has the strength to injure General Houyi like this? Did Li Cunxiao return?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Bu''s eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "General Houyi was injured by Qin Hao."
"What? How is this possible?"
Li Shimin''s eyes widened and it was difficult to believe this fact.
Not only Li Shimin, but even Lu Bu could not believe that Qin Hao could not be so strong in his perception, but the last scene where Qin Hao almost killed Houyi was seen by Lu Bu with his own eyes. This could not be fake, right?
"It''s true. Qin Hao''s martial arts have made rapid progress in recent years, and now it is completely different from the past."
Lu Bu sighed, and he was a little bit of a pioneer Qin Hao''s qualification. After all, he is far less powerful than Qin Hao''s age.
"Qin Hao, what you are hiding is really deep." Li Shimin sighed.
The reinforcements of the coalition forces are about to arrive, and now for the Liang army, the most important thing is to withdraw from Hulao Pass, so Li Shimin has to worry about this matter and is not in the mood to return to Hulao Pass. No matter what happens, I will talk about it.
The Liang army had a total of 40,000 troops when they left the city, but when they returned, there were less than 20,000. The casualties were so heavy, but fortunately, the purpose of leaving the city was achieved.
Li Shimin led some generals to enter the city first. When he climbed the Hulao Tower, he found that the coalition cavalry had reached the front of the pass, while the Liang army had thousands of troops not yet entered the pass.
