Chapter 1590 Li Shimin who escaped

Yuchi Jingde did not command the infantry phalanx from the rear, but led the cavalry to charge forward, and happened to meet the Chinese cavalry led by Li Shimin in the middle.

At this time, Yuchi Jingde's cavalryman stood up, and a Li family army cavalryman who was besieging him showed a flaw and was hit on the left arm by him. He screamed and fell off his horse.

He was about to take advantage of the situation to take his life, when suddenly his heart trembled, and then he heard a harsh sound breaking through the air. He quickly slid down to the left to avoid the arrow, but at the same time his mount screamed and suddenly knelt down.

Go down.

"Which bastard is so cunning? It turned out to be two arrows." Yuchi Jingde was shocked. He saw the opportunity and hurriedly jumped onto the mount that a soldier had given way to. And that man

The soldier had already jumped onto the mount of the Li family's cavalry that he had knocked off his horse earlier.

Yuchi Jingde looked back and saw that his horse had been hit by several arrows and was dead.

Yuchi Jingde had always been a man who loved horses as much as his life. At this time, he couldn't help but feel sad and angry.

He roared loudly, turned his horse's head, and with a murderous expression on his face, he drove the horse towards the man who shot his horse. He wanted to kill this man.

This person was none other than Li Shimin. He recognized Yuchi Jingde at a glance and knew that if he could kill the commander Yuchi Jingde at this time, the Far East Army would probably collapse directly. Unfortunately, Yuchi Jingde was so good at martial arts that he sensed the danger in advance.

He dodged and only shot the horse to death.

Yuchi Jingde also recognized Li Shimin, yelled and wanted to rush forward to kill Li Shimin, but the soldiers around Li Shimin could not allow him to come forward. From Li Shimin's side, hundreds of cavalrymen rushed out and killed Yuchi Jingde and Li Shimin.

He led hundreds of soldiers to block it.

Yuchi Jingde discovered that Li Shimin's soldiers were all very skilled. Although he wanted to take Li Shimin's life, Li Shimin's soldiers were so powerful that even if he led the cavalry behind him to rush left and right, he would never be able to get rid of him or kill him.

Li Shimin came forward.

Moreover, Li Shimin was an expert in archery. He hid behind his own soldiers and kept shooting at Yuchi Jingde. Fortunately, Yuchi Jingde had great martial arts and superb riding skills. Although his mount was hit by arrows many times, he was always able to win the battle horse.

It's just that although the Li Family Army couldn't easily do anything to them for a while, it was almost impossible for them to break through Li Shimin's personal soldiers and reach Li Shimin.

At this time, Yuchi Jingde changed his horse and rode on it. While leading his men to kill the enemy, he took the time to look around and found that he had just intended to kill Li Shimin and had gone too far.

Li Shimin also noticed this, so he always kept a very close distance to Yuchi Jingde, trying to slowly attract Yuchi Jingde.

However, just when Li Shimin and Yuchi Jingde were playing tricks on each other and wanted to kill each other.

Suddenly, in the eastern sky, a firework and arrow suddenly shot into the sky, and there were three in a row, each one faster than the other.

When Li Shimin and other senior generals of the Li Family Army saw this, their expressions changed.

These were the three life-and-death alarms that Li Shimin arranged for nearby spies to launch under urgent circumstances. For the situation at this time, it meant that enemy troops that could pose a life-or-death threat to the Li family's army were quickly approaching.

Sure enough, after these three life and death alarms, the eastern sky was filled with dust.

The flying dust covers the sky and the sun

, the ground was still shaking with the trampling of the earth as a large group of cavalry galloped. For a moment, the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion of the Far Eastern Army who were surrounded by them burst into cheers.

But Li Shimin's face had become extremely ugly.

"Send the order, Li Guangming led his men and horses to retreat, and the others retreated." Li Shimin took a deep breath and gave the order decisively without any delay.

A group of soldiers on horseback urged their horses to gallop among the rebels and passed the order to Li Guangming's subordinates.

However, it is no longer so easy for the rest of the Li family's army to evacuate.

Because Yuchi Jingde led the Tiger Camp cavalry attack to become more fierce, and even the infantry phalanx began to move forward.

Although Li Shimin didn't know why the reinforcements from the Far East Army arrived so quickly, and it seemed that there were only tens of thousands of people, he knew that this was a race against time. If he could evacuate before the reinforcements from the Far East Army arrived, what would happen today?

The loss is not too great.

Otherwise, today's ambush battle will turn into an ambush, and the losses will inevitably be very heavy, even to the point of being unbearable.

"Fortunately, in order to be cautious, I arranged for Mao Haizhong to lead 10,000 cavalry in the east. It should be able to block the reinforcements of the Far Eastern Army for a while. As long as Mao Haizhong buys a moment, it is enough." When he first saw the dust in the east, Li Shimin

Suddenly he remembered the move he had made earlier. When he heard the shouts of the messengers, he calmed down a little. While comforting himself in his heart, he desperately mobilized his troops and prepared to evacuate the main force.

However, just when Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, he heard another scream from someone around him. He turned around and saw a soldier looking eastward with a pale face. He followed his gaze.

Go, my chest felt like being hit hard by a heavy hammer, and for a moment, my mind was in chaos.

In this short period of time, the smoke in the east was getting closer and closer, and the vanguard of the Far Eastern Army could be vaguely seen!

"Where's Mao Haizhong? Where's Mao Haizhong?" Li Shimin was almost completely confused, and this question just kept popping up in his mind.

Mao Haizhong has a total of 10,000 cavalry. Even if the opponent comes with 100,000 elite soldiers, they can still resist for a while, unless Mao Haizhong changes sides in the battle or simply flees.

But this is obviously not the time to study whether Mao Haizhong surrendered or escaped.

In the chaos, Li Shimin quickly regained his composure. With a ferocious expression, he loudly ordered Du Youchao to lead his subordinates to stay behind, while preparing to retreat with the main force that had previously ambushed here.

He was mentally prepared to sacrifice the 30,000 troops belonging to Li Guangming and Du Youchao.

Beside Li Shimin, several loyal flags held the five-color flags high and waved them quickly. The sound of drums and horns also changed rapidly, quickly conveying his order to the entire Li family army.

However, even if someone cuts off the queen, it is still not easy for Li Shimin to lead the main force to retreat calmly.

The cavalry of the Li Family Army and the Far East Army were already fighting together. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements and the sound of the Li Army retreating, how could Yuchi Jingde let them escape? The same orders were passed on, and the formation of the Far East Army was quickly formed.

Variety.

First, more than 10,000 cavalry were divided into several groups and interspersed among them, and they trapped most of the Li family's cavalry, and then

The 20,000 infantry phalanx that followed turned into small infantry phalanxes consisting of a thousand people in an instant. They quickly moved over and entangled most of the Li Jiajun's infantry.

Therefore, the final result was that most of the Li family army was entangled, and it was difficult to get rid of it for a while.

"Hu Yuema, Yu Qianshi, you lead the three thousand cavalry under your command to break off the rear. Together with Du Youchao and Li Guangming, you must entangle these Far Eastern troops. You must let most of the others withdraw." Li Shimin looked cold and said to the two people around him.

The general shouted.

Hu Yuema and Yu Qianshi had a look of death on their faces, but they did not dare to disobey the order. They shouted "Nuo" loudly, and then led their three thousand cavalrymen to rush towards Yuchi Jingde from the side as hard as they could, running to cut off the entangled enemy.

The Tiger Battalion had troops, and Li Shimin took the opportunity to lead more than 30,000 cavalry to retreat quickly, and finally got rid of the entanglement of the Far Eastern Army.

But they had a total of 80,000 troops here, and only 30,000 were withdrawn.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Far Eastern Army were about 500 steps away from the battlefield. From a close distance, they could see at least 60,000 troops, all of them cavalry.

According to what Li Shimin had previously found out about the composition of the Far East Army, the Tiger Battalion, Iron Spear Battalion, and Iron Hammer Battalion that he was fighting against these days each had 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. In other words, the opponent's total cavalry was only 90,000, and the troops in front of him were

Tiger Camp already has more than 10,000 cavalry, so the more than 60,000 cavalry that came included most of the remaining cavalry from the three battalions of the Far Eastern Army on the east road.

At this time, the 60,000 cavalry reinforcements from the Far Eastern Army finally arrived.

Li Guangming, Du Youchao, Hu Yuema and Yu Qianshi led four groups of troops, totaling 40,000. They fled far more than before. At this time, Mao Haizhong, who was unknown where he was, was much braver. He knew he would die, but

Without flinching, more than 40,000 people died in battle, nearly half of whom then began to collapse, and finally withstood Yuchi Jingde's 30,000 troops and 60,000 reinforcements for a moment. Li Shimin led more than 30,000 troops to escape several miles away.

After Li Shimin escaped with more than 30,000 troops, he quickly adjusted his direction slightly and retreated to Shishazhai.

Yuchi Jingde, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Li Jing and others had been planning for today's counter-ambush for a long time. They used all the power they could to create such a great fighter. They wanted to severely damage Li Shimin or even destroy him.

.

So, at this time, I desperately chased after him.

Fortunately, most of the retreating troops led by Li Shimin were cavalry, and he decisively gave up the infantry, so Li Shimin finally escaped.

He hurriedly fled back to Shisha Village and loudly asked people to close the city gate. Li Shimin stood on the city wall holding a knife in his hand and stared coldly at the waves of cavalry approaching from the distance. The sound of hooves was like thunder two hundred steps outside Shisha Village.

He stopped outside, anger igniting between his brows.

At this time, Li Shimin wanted to eat Mao Haizhong's flesh and drink his blood. He even secretly swore that if Mao Haizhong was caught afterwards, he would be cut into pieces.

However, when they entered Shishazhai at this time, although there were only 40,000 troops in the city, Li Shimin was no longer afraid of the Far Eastern Army. Instead, he was filled with anger and murderous intent.

Li Shimin's prestige in the hearts of his men was extremely high. Even though he suffered a defeat today, under the personal escort, the Li family's army in the walled city soon became silent. They only quickly and intensively followed the orders of officers at all levels to defend the city.

Prepare.
