Chapter 2252 Lu Fengxian vs. Li Shimin


    Chapter 2249: Lu Fengxian vs. Li Shimin


    After Huo Qubing received the news about Fenglingdu and Yuguan, he guessed that Li Shimin would probably withdraw his troops directly. After all, if he didn''t retreat, he would really want to leave.


    Huo Qubing sent spies to monitor the Tang camp day and night. Sure enough, he found that both Li Shimin and Li Siyuan were retreating overnight, and Li Sizhao was left behind in Wuzhangyuan, which was obviously to stop the Qin army and delay time.


    Huo Qubing ignored the escaped Li Siyuan''s troops, but instead concentrated all his troops, preparing to forcibly break through Wuzhangyuan and catch up with Li Shimin as quickly as possible.


    As a famous general of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Sizhao had both commander and force, especially the commander''s attributes were as high as 95 points, which was more than enough as a defender in a city. Unfortunately, he encountered Huo Qubing this time.


    Under the fierce attack of Huo Qubing''s 40,000 troops, Li Sizhao held on for even one day, and the Wuzhangyuan camp was captured by the Qin army, and Li Sizhao was also shot by Gongsun Xuanyuan.


    After breaking through the Wuzhangyuan camp, Huo Qubing did not stop and personally led 20,000 cavalry to pursue Li Shimin.


    At the same time, Li Shimin''s troops who fled to Wugong County ran into Lu Bu''s five thousand iron cavalry halfway.


    Among the 40,000 infantry and cavalry of the Tang army, 10,000 were cavalry, but Lu Bu only had five thousand iron cavalry under his command. Naturally, he did not dare to confront the Tang army head-on, but chose to harass him.


    Although the Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou under the command of Lu Bu was slower than Huo Qubing, it was much faster than the Tang army.


    Relying on the advantage of speed, Lu Bu led his army to fight guerrillas with the Tang army, constantly attacking the Tang army, and immediately fled far away after one strike, and then went back and forth, disturbing Li Shimin.


    Lu Bu''s harassment did not cause much damage to the Tang army, but it seriously dragged down the Tang army''s marching speed.


    Li Shimin knew that the 10,000 troops left in Wuzhangyuan could not hold back Huo Qubing for how long. If he marched at this speed, let alone Chang''an, he would probably be caught up by Huo Qubing before he arrived in Wuzhang County.


    In desperation, Li Shimin could only lead 10,000 cavalry to guard the two wings of the army. After discovering Lu Bu''s traces, he immediately attacked and chased him reluctantly, so as to keep the army away from the Qin army''s cavalry as much as possible.


    Lu Bu dared not fight against the Tang army for 40,000, which does not mean that he dared not fight against the Tang army for 10,000, even the cavalry were not afraid.


    Seeing that Li Shimin personally led 10,000 cavalry to chase after him, Lu Bu led his army to retreat fifty miles northward, deliberately leading the Tang cavalry away from the infantry. When the distance between the two was so far too far to provide support, he turned around and fought the Tang army in a decisive battle.


    [Dingdong, Lu Bu skill "Flying General" effect 1 is activated, and when commanding the cavalry, his own command +4 and his force +3.


    Lu Bu (injured): Commander 88 (+3), Force 107 (+5), Intelligence 61, Politics 58, Charm 97 (+2);


    Fang Tian Painted Halberd, Agave Tongue Bow +1, Red Rabbit Horse +1;


    Currently, Commander Lu Bu has increased by 92 and his force has increased by 110;]


    After the end of the Battle of Youzhou, Lu Bu''s basic commander rose by 1 point, and now he has reached the level of 88, and he can command cavalry to reach 92;


    [Dingdong, Lu Bu skill "Flying General" effect 4 is activated. When commanding the "Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry" in combat, the riding skills of the subordinate troops will increase, attack power will increase, and movement speed will be greatly improved, and the commander of the entire army will have a force of +1;


    Currently, Commander Lu Bu has increased by 93 and his force has increased by 111;]


    I have to say that the successive victory made Lu Bu a little overconfident. He overestimated himself as the Supreme Commander 93 and underestimated Li Shimin, who was the Basic Commander 100.


    The Qin army''s five thousand iron knights were in full swing, but the Tang army was in a low morale. In terms of overall combat power, the five thousand Qin army may be stronger than the previous Tang army, but in war it is not only combat power, but also brain power.


    This time, Li Shimin did not use a strategy because the war came too quickly and suddenly, so he started fighting without having time to make arrangements. However, even if he had a temporary arrangement, he was 99 years old, he was the best arrangement.


    Li Shimin divided the army into three units, with 5,000 central troops and 2,500 left and right wings. He also ordered Gao Si to follow Ma Shanwei to lead the central troops to fight Lu Bu, and he commanded the left and right wings to attack the Qin army''s wings. Lu Bu was injured in the battle with Kong Peng. Although he was not very jealous, he still had a certain impact on his combat power.


    Later, Lu Bu even fought with Wang Shi with injuries, and now he faced two war gods, Ma Shanwei and Gao Siji.


    Lu Bu, who was in poor condition, naturally had difficulty replicating the results. He fought against the three major war gods alone during the Battle of Youzhou, and also won the battle.


    Lu Bu fought in this battle very hard. Under the attack of two war gods, Lu Bu was injured in a state of injury for only one hundred rounds and was at a disadvantage.


    When the battle was about to end two hundred rounds, Lu Bu chose to retreat on his own initiative.


    It’s not that Lu Bu was afraid of Ma Shanwei and Gao Siji, but that the Qin army could not hold on.


    Even though Lu Bu was at a disadvantage in the fight, he was still paying attention to the battle situation around him, but found that his own casualties were too fast, so he immediately realized that Li Shimin had seen through the tactics.


    The tactic used by Lu Bu is a typical arrow formation, which emphasizes the direct defeat of the opponent in one go. However, if he fails to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, he will lose all his strength and fall into the quagmire of the enemy.


    Li Shimin saw the weakness of this tactic at a glance, so he deliberately let Ma Shanwei and Gao Siji hold Lu Bu up and continuously weaken the power of the Qin army from their weak wings. When Lu Bu discovered it, many Qin army had already died or injured.


    After repelling Ma Shanwei and Gao Siji with all their strength, Lu Bu shouted: "Retreat."


    The Qin army, which had not yet been completely trapped, immediately retreated and retreated urgently, but many Qin cavalry were entangled by the Tang army and failed to withdraw in time.


    Li Shimin naturally would not miss the opportunity to pursue and led his army to chase after him at full speed, but found that Lu Bu was fleeing to the west, worried that he would hit Huo Qubing''s pursuers, so he withdrew and stopped the pursuit.


    The battle between Lu Bu and Li Shimin was 5,000 to 10,000. The two sides fought for two hours, and finally ended with the defeat of the Qin army.


    After the war, the Qin army suffered two thousand cavalry casualties, nearly two-thirds of which were lost, while the Tang army suffered three thousand cavalry casualties.


    The Tang army was obviously the side that won the battle and had the advantage of military strength, but the casualties were even greater than those of the Qin army, which shows how strong the Qin army''s comprehensive combat power was.


    Through this battle, Li Shimin once again made him see the courage of the Qin army and decided that he would never fight the Qin army in field before he was absolutely sure.


    After simply cleaning the battlefield, the Tang army did not have weapons, only armor and horses, and then continued to go to Chang''an with thousands of armored horses.


    Lu Bu lost two thousand cavalrymen, and his injuries worsened. He was naturally extremely upset, but he did not dare to fight against Li Shimin alone. Now the most urgent task is to meet with Huo Qubing.


    After only half a day of marching, Lu Bu ran into Huo Qubing''s troops head-on.


    Huo Qubing did not blame him when he learned that Lu Bu had lost for a while.


    5,000 to 10,000, and the opponent is Li Shimin. It is already quite difficult for Lu Bu to save three thousand cavalry.


    After briefly understanding the situation, Huo Qubing ordered a quick rush and march at full speed, hoping to catch up with Li Shimin as soon as possible, but unfortunately he was still one step slower after all.


    Half a day later, Huo Qubing led the cavalry to chase him to Zheng County. Just as he was about to enter Jingzhao Yin, Li Shimin''s army had already fled to Chang''an.


    Although Huo Qubing was extremely upset about this, he had no choice but to do anything. After all, he was leading cavalry, not heavenly soldiers and generals, and it was impossible for him to fly into Chang''an City.
