Chapter 878: Desperate Pursuit


Yuangai Suwen ran, and he ran very crisply and decisively.

Although he is only in his twenties, he has already become the master of eastern Goguryeo, which depends not only on his father.

Li Shimin started fighting at the age of sixteen, and he was already a general in his twenties, and he became the emperor before he was thirty, so his age actually has little to do with ability.

Competence is related to experience.

Yuangai Suwen also started fighting in his teens, although the scale of the war was not as large as Li Shimin's, but there were many battles.

He had never fought a battle like today, and he was unwilling to lose.

But at the same time, the result of this war that was too reversed also made Yuangai Suwen feel a strong crisis.

Retreating from the east bank of the Wei River to the city of Pingzhou, although the 20,000 horsemen finally ran out only about 16,000, losing two horses.

But converging the 20,000 men and horses under Pingzhou City, he still has more than 30,000 men and horses at this time, even if the 20,000 under Pingzhou City also lost part of the siege, but he still has 33,400 people in total, and he still has nearly 10,000 horses in other places.

Counting up, his strength is actually above Li Chao.

Under the city of Pingzhou, if he fights with the chasing Tang army again, maybe he will have a greater chance of winning.

But Yuangai Suwen didn't stay, and he ran away directly with the Goguryeo soldiers under Pingzhou City.

"Don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, the most important thing is the overall situation."

This is what Yuangai Suwen said to his generals.

Goguryeo this time was to cooperate with the Turks to attack the Tang Dynasty, originally they thought that they would use the power of the Turks to strangle the Tang Dynasty, and then prevent the Tang Dynasty from entering Liaodong in the future to avenge the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Liao, and by the way, they could still occupy Hebei or something, at least they could swallow Liaoxi into their stomachs.

However, after entering the Tang realm, they were repeatedly unfavorable, and they did not take a single city, and the Tang people's determination to resist was beyond imagination.

If it were all that, he wouldn't have retreated so easily.

It was really today's battle that shocked him.

Li Chao's courage and strategy, as well as the morale and bloodiness of the Tang Army, as well as the strange firearms.

The 20,000 elite Goguryeo cavalry couldn't defeat a Tang army with more than half of the recruits, which made him realize that the Tang was not the Sui of the year, although Tang and Sui were both Han dynasties, but these soldiers had completely different fighting spirits.

In the land of the Tang people, they are invaders, they are attackers, not defenders.

Especially when the commander of the troops opposite him was Li Chao, Yuan Gai Suwen had already retreated.

Their attack this time was not to fight for a city and a pool, but to listen to the words of the Turks, thinking that Tang was very weak and wanted to cooperate to destroy Tang.

But now it seems that Tang is not weak at all, nor is he cowardly, on the contrary, they are more bloody than Sui.

The defenders and civilians in Pingzhou City who swore to fight to the death, Li Chao's amazing military formation and new soldiers full of fighting spirit by the Lishui River, as well as those terrifying firearms.

Everything shows that the information they have in the past is inaccurate.

They can't even capture a city, so how can they capture Hebei, or even destroy the Tang Dynasty.

The Turks said it well, but until now, I haven't seen them conquer the Hetao or take Daibei, let alone wave their troops to attack Taiyuan and go south to Luoyang.

Yuangai Suwen can see that they have been deceived by the Turks.

"We may have made a huge mistake, we provoked a napping tiger."

Since the original judgment was wrong, it is meaningless to entangle one city and one pool here.

Moreover, Yuangai Suwen did not want to fight with the Tang army anymore, and lost 4,000 people in the first battle of the river, and lost 2,000 people in the attack on Pingzhou City. 50,000 soldiers and horses, attacking the Tang Realm for a month and a half, lost 6,000 people, more than one percent, and the result was nothing.

Does he still have to lead the remaining 40,000 people to continue to stay in the land of the Tang people and fight another battle with the Tang army Maybe it can win, but if it wins, the Tang army can draw more troops.

What if he loses, although he doesn't think it's possible to lose.

But in the face of Li Chao, he didn't dare to say that he would never lose, and he shouldn't have lost, but he still lost.

Li Chao is a dangerous guy, it is unfathomable, Yuan Gai Suwen doesn't want to fight him at all in his heart, he just wants to leave early now, the farther away from this dangerous guy as possible.

West of Lulong City, Pingzhou.

Wei Chi Gongle stopped his horse, and the three thousand cavalry behind him also stopped.

"Father, we just watched the Goguryeo people leave" Wei Chigong turned his head and glared at his son.

Yu Chi Baolin honestly changed her title, "Metropolitan Governor." ” "Xiangguo's military order is like this, you want to disobey" Of course, Yu Chi Baolin did not dare to disobey Li Chao's military order, he was just a little strange, why Xiangguo asked them to come over, but he explained that they always had to keep a distance from the Goguryeo army, and then confessed that they should not chase after chasing them to Lulong City in Pingzhou.

Even Li Xiang actually expected that after Yuangai Suwen arrived in Lulong, he would immediately join the Goguryeo army under the city and retreat eastward, instead of joining forces to return to fight.

Everything developed as the teacher expected.

"Why did Quangai Suwen run We only have 3,000 riders, but they have more than 30,000 riders."

Wei Chigong looked at the Goguryeo people who were retreating all the way east with a complicated mood, and he didn't want to let the Goguryeo people go, but in fact, the Goguryeo people wanted to leave, and he had no way at all, he only had 3,000, but Goguryeo had more than 30,000 rides.

With a sigh, he said, "Although we have three thousand horsemen, Quan Gai Suwen is not stupid, he knows that Li Xiang is behind."

The defeat of the Mihe River, the defeat of the Goguryeo people can be described as inexplicable, and they will definitely not dare to fight Li Xiang again. ” Yu Chi Baolin felt a little puzzled.

There are a lot of things that I can't figure out, for example, before the Battle of the Wet River, Goguryeo was obviously stronger, but the teacher had to take the initiative to start the war, and the result was really won.

And after the war, the teacher did not let him chase.

But after cleaning up the battlefield, the teacher quickly led the troops to Pingzhou, and asked him and his father to lead the cavalry first, not only letting them chase the Goguryeo, but also keeping their distance, and letting them stop in Pingzhou.

Along the way, the Goguryeo people did not turn back to fight back at the Tang cavalry hanging behind.

Even under the city of Pingzhou, it was a direct retreat.

The teacher and this Quan Gai Suwen, they do things, why don't they follow common sense.

"What's not to understand about this, you look at things and think about things, and only think about the surface.

And when your teacher thinks about things, he is thinking about the big picture, the overall situation.

Starting from the immediate and global perspectives, of course, the results are different.

Although Izumi Gai Suwen was young, he didn't expect to be a powerful person.

He was right not to fight us, because even if he came back and won, it would not mean much to the whole situation. ” The gate of Longlu City, Pingzhou, which had been closed for a month and a half, finally opened again.

Among the remaining hundreds of soldiers, the group of brigade commanders with the highest military rank took it upon themselves and slowly pushed open the city gate.

The drawbridge was lowered.

They walked in front, followed by the soldiers and civilians of the city.

Standing in front of the gates of a ruined city, they felt like a world away.

The Goguryeo people were finally gone, and when they were about to break the city after a month and a half, they were rescued by the imperial court.

Wei Chigong came over on horseback.

Looking at the big banner with the word Wei Chi written on it, as well as the generals like the Black Tower, these survivors of Lu Longcheng knew that it was Chi Gong, the governor of the Right Army, who had arrived in person.

No one complained about being late, they were just grateful that they had finally arrived.

"Thank you Metropolitan Governor for coming to help" A group of survivors knelt down towards Wei Chigong.

Wei Chigong hurriedly jumped off the horse and reached out to help.

"Hurry up, it's not me Wei Chigong who saved you.

My lieutenant Chi Gong is incompetent, and I haven't been able to relieve you for a month and a half.

I'm ashamed, it's Shang Shuling, Taiwei, Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and Yanyun Jiedu who made Zhao Guogong Li Wenyuan Xiangguo. ” The survivors were astonished.

They had no idea why the Goguryeo people had suddenly withdrawn, or how reinforcements had come at this time.

"Lee Sang-kook is here" "It's actually Li Ling's relatives who came to relieve the siege."

A large group of people arrived in the distance, and Li Chao came.

Li Chao's banner was very conspicuous, and the soldiers and civilians of Lu Longcheng finally believed that it turned out that Li Xiangguo really came in person.

At this time, many soldiers began to tell the soldiers and civilians of Lulongcheng how they defeated the Goguryeo cavalry in one battle at the Huihe River, how they broke the cavalry with foot, and how they killed 4,000 Goguryeo cavalry in one battle, and they still broke the enemy with 15,000 soldiers and 20,000 volunteers.

At this time, the soldiers and civilians of Lulongcheng also proudly told these brothers who came to help, how they held on for a month and a half.

Talk about their bloody battles, talk about their determination.

Speaking of excitement, everyone is embarrassed.

Li Chao arrived, and the soldiers and the people cheered together.

They won, repelled the Goguryeos, and also held Lulong Fortress.

"Please come into the city."

Li Chao stood outside the city and shook his head.

"I won't enter the city today, and the Goguryeo people haven't been driven out yet.

Command, the whole army assembles, to the east" Yu Chigong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and put his hands together.

"The last will be ordered" and strode away.

The trumpet sounded, and the military order was given.

The soldiers regrouped and then pursued to the east.

On the East Road.

"Newspaper" "Report to your lord, the Tang people are chasing after you."

Yuangai Suwen gritted his teeth.

"My lord, this Li Chao is too ignorant of life and death, let's turn around and destroy them."

"That is, Li Chao only has more than 30,000 people, and we now have more than 30,000 people, we are still cavalry, he is mostly infantry, and most of them are recruits.

Let's go back, avenge the water, capture Li Chao alive, and break through Pingzhou."

A group of generals were all angry.

Originally, he was humiliated by losing the battle of Weihe, but when he arrived in Pingzhou, Yuangai Suwen directly ordered a retreat.

They all walked away with their tails between their legs, but the Tang people dared to chase after them.

"Shut up" Yuangai Suwen let out a loud shout.

All day long, I only know how to shout and kill, and I have courage and no strategy.

"Order, speed up the march."

"My lord, we still have a lot of captives and a lot of gold and silver and other booty, so we can't go fast."

"Then throw away the prisoners and the loot, and speed up." t1706231537:
