The second counterattack against the Japanese army also officially started under the leadership of Li Ke.
The first to launch the offensive were the First and Second Battalions of the Shu Army led by Zhang Xiao.
Yes, these two teams are the same two that were stationed at Jianmen Pass before.
Once upon a time, they also defeated the Liangzhou Army very miserably. They were stationed at Jianmen Pass for half a year without allowing the Liangzhou Army to take away an inch of territory.
It was only thanks to Li Chengqian's ingenious plan that they were trapped behind a closed sword gate.
But in the end, even if Yizhou City was breached, the Jianmen Pass was still there, and the first and second battalions were still defending it.
In the end, he had no choice but to surrender his weapons to the Liangzhou Army.
In other words, the Liangzhou Army did not defeat the Shu Army, but in terms of the overall strategic situation, Li Chengqian defeated Li Ke, that's all.
Although the organization of the Shu army was greatly disrupted, the foundation is still there, and they are still the ace army.
And when the ace army takes action, it naturally looks down upon them.
In the early stage, the Japanese army attacked the unprepared Tang Dynasty soldiers.
It's just a saying. Datang didn't take them seriously at first, which gave them a certain advantage.
Now that Datang has reacted, they are really no match for them.
On the battlefield, Li Ke also showed his little Li Shimin style.
Not only did he personally go to the front line to command, but he also personally led the team to attack the enemy.
And seeing that they were really fighting, Xue Li would not hesitate at all.
At that moment, five thousand cavalrymen hit the Japanese army on the butt.
This time, the Japanese army was really beaten. Not only the front army was beaten to pieces by the Shu army, but the rear army was also extremely scattered by Xue Lichong.
Suddenly, the entire Japanese army camp was in chaos.
The Japanese general in charge of leading the team, Nakamura Hisashi, was also unprepared and was surrounded by the Shu army in his Chinese army tent.
The deputy general could only take the remaining Japanese troops and flee eastward.
…
Japanese army tent.
Many soldiers This place has already been blocked with water.
Not long after, Li Ke, accompanied by Zhang Xiao, walked into the Chinese military tent.
At this moment, Nakamura Hisashi looks in such a miserable state that he is worse than a beggar. How can he look like a leading general?
Obviously, this guy suffered a lot in the battle just now, and the Shu army was really not very polite to him.
I saw Li Ke coming over.
Nakamura Hisashi also understood at that time that this man was the leading general of the Tang Dynasty.
Although he didn't understand the language, Nakamura Hisashi still chirped to Li Ke in a bird's language.
But anyone can see clearly that this guy should be greeting Li Ke's ancestors there.
And can Li Ke get used to him?
At that moment, Li Ke waved his hand and said: "Shut him up!"
Hearing this, the soldiers around him did not hesitate, and immediately went up to face Nakamura Hisashi, punching and kicking him until all his teeth fell out.
At this time, Li Ke stepped forward and looked down at Nakamura Naoshi.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand what I'm saying."
"But I will use my actions to tell you what you will face next."
Li Ke said with a cold face: "Now that you have come to Datang, you can never leave again. In other words, neither you nor your people will survive."
Although Nakamura Hisashi couldn't understand what he said.
But he could feel the coldness in Li Ke's eyes.
Then, he chirped to Li Ke in bird language.
But what came back was a big mouth from Zhang Xiao on the side.
"Damn it, shut up, can you stop screaming so damn much?"
Afterwards, Zhang Xiao raised his hands towards Li Ke and said: "This man is the leader of the Japanese army this time. How to deal with it is up to Your Highness to decide."
"Send back to Chang'an City."
Li Ke just said five words lightly, and then stepped out of the Chinese military tent.
And just as he was about to reach the door of the big tent.
He suddenly stopped and said: "It would be a waste of food to keep those prisoners. Just follow the example of the emperor brother and kill them all on the spot and send their heads back to Chang'an."
"You will eventually understand."
Zhang Xiao didn't hesitate, waved his hand and said: "Tie him up, and send him to Chang'an City along with the enemy heads as ordered by His Highness."
After saying that, he also walked out of the Chinese military tent.
Just as the two of them walked out of the tent, they met Xue Li who came to pay him a visit.
"General, please pay homage to His Highness the King of Shu."
Xue Li saluted respectfully towards Li Ke.
"You're the one, double champion in martial arts, right? I've heard of you."
"You are very powerful, and you do have some skills on the battlefield."
Li Ke tilted his head and said, "If you hadn't led the light cavalry into the enemy camp, I don't know how long this battle would have lasted."
"Your Highness has given you too much praise."
"If it weren't for His Highness, we would fight bloody battles with the enemy at the front."
"How could I break into the enemy camp so easily?"
Xue Li, neither humble nor arrogant, said: "This battle can be won only by His Highness and the Shu Army brothers."
Hearing this, Li Ke raised his eyebrows.
This guy is not arrogant at all, he is really a good general.
"Brother Huang's vision is really good."
Li Ke only left these words, and then left with Zhang Xiao.
Xue Li, on the other hand, stood quietly on the spot.
Not long after, earth-shattering screams came from the prisoner of war camp on the other side.
Obviously, the soldiers over there have begun to slaughter the prisoners.
Xue Li had no reaction at all.
After all, according to Li Chengqian's previous temper and his actions, anyone who invades the Tang Dynasty will definitely be exterminated. generation.
Now Li Ke just killed these prisoners, which was considered very merciful.
And the strategy of allowing Li Ke to enter Henan Road can be regarded as a complete success.
In the ensuing war, the Shu army also defeated the Japanese troops who invaded Qizhou.
Of course, compared to Li Chengqian's side, the number of casualties on his side was huge.
After every war, the battle loss rate is often as high as about 20%.
In other words, send a thousand people up to fight against a thousand people.
Even if the opponent can be defeated in the end, our side will have to pay the price of at least 200 casualties.
There is a saying that has been said since ancient times: if the loss in battle exceeds one tenth, it is not a victory; if the loss exceeds two or three tenths, it is not a victory but a defeat.
After fifty-sixth of tenth, the authority will be defeated.
After all, everyone is born from father and mother.
Even if you join the army, you are not here to die.
And seeing their comrades around them die one after another, how many of them can ensure that their mentality remains unchanged and their original aspirations remain the same?
But there was nothing Li Ke could do about it.
The fighting power of the Japanese army cannot be underestimated, but this battle must be fought.
After all, the current war is a war to defend against enemy invasion, and they set foot on this land to protect their homeland and country.
In this case, it is impossible to still worry about casualties.
And when Li Chengqian heard the news here, he was also very pleased.
With a smile on his face, he said to Liu Qi beside him: "My imperial brother has finally grown up, and I can finally feel relieved..."
Hearing this, Liu Qi still had some doubts.
He said: "But the general still feels that it is not a wise move for His Highness to let the King of Shu come out to lead the army."
"If the time comes, he once again supports his troops and respects himself, what will your Highness do?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian raised his head slightly and said: "Ignore him for now, just take one step at a time..."
