Chapter 38: Gaoshu City Falls, Liu Wenjing is defeated
38. Gaoshu City fell, and Liu Wenjing was defeated
Last time, he said
Li Shimin fell ill in battle
Liu Wenjing disobeyed the order and sent troops
As soon as the horn sounded, this Xue raised troops to rush down from the shallow water plain, Yin Kaishan, who was familiar with military affairs, immediately knew that the defeat had been decided, and he was caught off guard in this terrain ambush, and the enemy army was elite, how could he not be defeated, only to see the Tang army in the loess gully running around in a panic, around the well-trained elite soldiers were also panicked at the moment, and the wolf-like Xue army on both sides was under the leadership of the old and strong Xue Ju, screaming and slashing the Tang army.
It was afternoon, the sun had slowly set, but the slaughter continued, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and every second a living life was lost.
The passage that had been a good passage was now filled with the pungent smell of blood, fragmented corpses, and broken weapon flags.
The officers and soldiers of the two armies couldn't tell what a weapon was at the moment, what was fear, and the Tang army, which was in a hurry and frightened, also broke out at this moment, the sword was rolled, the weapon was broken, the blood-red hand, the sharp teeth, everything that could be used couldn't wait to tear the opponent apart.
In the evening, it was already dark, and from a distance, it was impossible to tell whether it was the sunset or the blood staining the earth.
Yin Kaishan and several other general soldiers hurriedly ran back to Gaoshu City with the remnants of the soldiers, and five or six out of ten of the soldiers died here, and everyone was depressed.
The surviving soldiers seemed to be rejoicing, while several of the general soldiers were even more bitter.
Secretly concealed that Li Shimin disobeyed the military order to send troops, it was okay to win, but now it is defeated, several general soldiers are silent at the moment, and go straight to Gaoshu City, and then Xue Jun has already reaped the results of the battle and left, and did not chase again, but I don't know how to deal with the tens of thousands of dead soldiers, you must know that Xue Ju father and son are demon kings.
At this moment, there are only 30,000 troops left in the city of Liu Wenjing, and only a few thousand of the 50,000 soldiers brought out are left, which is a big crime.
Approaching Gaoshu City, Yin Kaishan just wanted to send someone to call the door, but the rest of the people were relieved and finally came back.
At this time, a general soldier shouted: "Everyone, wait, look at Gaoshu City, why are there fireworks outside the city, and there are no soldiers of our army stationed at the head of the city?"
。
Several adjutant generals of the general army took a look, and sure enough, they thought in their hearts, if it can be explained that this fireworks are left over from the previous siege of the city by Xue thieves, then why is there no garrison at the head of the city during the battle of the army.
Everyone has become frightened birds, and Yin Kaishan and others have ordered vigilance.
Suddenly, there was a bang at the head of the city, and a column of people came out, Yin Kaishan and others under the city looked at it and were surprised, it turned out that the people at the head of the city were Xue Jujun's clothes, could it be that Gaoshu City had fallen, wasn't there still Liu Wenjing's 30,000 army.
This is the head of the city people who spoke, "Do, the Tang Army under the city, Gaoshu City has been occupied by my family Jinyang, I wanted to wait for a pot, but I didn't want to wait for you to be so timid, I didn't dare to call the city." After speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the castle tower.
"Haha, this king sees Er and others as rat dogs." It was the king of Xue Junjin, that is, Xue Renyue, the second son of the Western Qin Emperor.
Yin Kaishan and others and the morale of the generals were smoking, but the form was not up to people, Yin Kaishan, as the highest rank and the position of a general, immediately ordered to be withdrawn.
Thousands of defeated troops went in the direction of Qizhou, to see that Liu Wenjing's 30,000 army was finished, and only Li Shimin's troops who stayed outside Qizhou City were left with 100,000 troops.
……
It is said that Li Shimin felt that the situation was wrong on the second day when Liu Wenjing and others sent troops privately, although they did not come out of the account, but the sound of war drums decreased every day, and Liu Wenjing and several other general soldiers did not come to report on military affairs, which was very suspicious.
So Li Shimin asked his own soldiers to go to investigate, but the soldiers went out to inquire and replied with a shocking and angry news - the eight general soldiers had sent troops.
"Hmph, Piff, I'm angry with this king, this king ordered not to send troops, and to defend the city without loss, but in a few days, Xue Jun will be short of food and grass, so rashly send troops, the outcome is unpredictable, if you are defeated, you have to wait for a good look." slapped a palm on the desk, and the bamboo slip official document fell to the ground, and the soldiers did not dare to touch the moldy head to pick it up.
Li Shimin was very angry at this time, since the setback of the army the year before last, he has been much more stable in his use of troops, even if it is difficult to win, it will not be as good as last time, but the eight general soldiers are self-righteous, and they are eager to make meritorious service and keep military orders.
After being angry, Li Shimin was sweating profusely, and he didn't know whether he was worried about the battle situation or was angry with Liu Wenjing, but he was in good spirits.
A day later, Li Shimin, who felt that his health was improving, called a military doctor to visit him, and he was greatly pleased with the results.
Li Shimin's malaria soldiers survived under the combination of military doctor's treatment and his own physical perseverance.
Li Shimin's heart was relieved, the haze was gone, and when he was well and his body was fine, he would have the capital to continue to work hard.
Thinking that his health was better, he wanted to immediately lead the troops to Gaoshu and go to the battle in person, but he was stopped by the military doctor, malaria is just right, and it is easy to relapse, so it is best to recuperate for a few days to ensure that he is safe.
Li Shimin is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is worried that he will die before the great cause is accomplished, so he has to follow the instructions of the military doctor to continue his cultivation.
Two days later, Li Shimin, who felt that he was in good health, officially came out of the account, ordered the generals, and prepared to send troops to meet the eight general soldiers, who were quite capable, and took away eight or nine out of ten generals in the army, leaving only some deputy generals and pioneers.
"Soldiers, the officers and men of our army are fighting with the enemy in the front, and we have rested here for many days, how can we lag behind." After a pause,
"The soldiers are high, and the thieves are captured".
"The soldiers are high, the Xue thieves are captured, the soldiers are high, the Xue thieves are captured...... "The 20,000 Tang troops have been idle here for many days, and they are going crazy, and they are finally going to send troops at this time, thinking of the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, thinking of being able to subsidize some families, thinking of the elderly mother and the children who are waiting to be fed, this group of Guanzhong men lifted their swords and raised their morale.
Li Shimin was also very relieved to see that the military heart was available.
"Departure".
There are more than 10,000 soldiers, and there is no end to it.
The mighty 20,000 Tang soldiers were high.
The two places are only a day's journey, it is noon, Li Shimin just ordered to bury the pot and start the stove, and the soldiers have happily carried it out, these years enlisted in the army are all poor legs, in order not to starve to death to become soldiers, of course, there are also forced conscriptions.
A good commander always pays attention to the military situation, and scouts will be sent at any time. y
No, a horse galloped in the distance, and the Tang soldiers hurriedly stood on guard, and when they saw that it was their own scout, they sat down again.
The scout ran directly to Li Shimin's side, "Bing Dashuai, there is a defeated army five miles away, about four or five thousand people, and the banner is." Speaking of which, the scout hesitated.
Li Shimin sighed in his heart, had a bad premonition, and said sharply: "What is the banner, don't say it."
The scout gritted his teeth, "The banner of the defeated army is the banner of our army."
The people around him were in an uproar, Li Shimin only felt dizzy in front of him, he stumbled and almost fell, and the deputy general around him hurriedly helped him
"Lord Wang,......"
。
"Dashuai"
。
Li Shimin waved his hand and stood up.
"It's over, our soldiers are resting."
……
……
"Woo...... The last general is guilty, Gaoshu City is lost, the former army is dead, and all the ministers are guilty, please ......condemn the King of Qin. Liu Wenjing, a scribe, was in tattered robes at the moment, his beard was sloppy, crying and pleading, and a big man was also crying, but he still had some integrity, knew that the sin was in himself, and actively accepted the sin.
Li Shimin was also very difficult to say anything at this moment, waving his hand, "You are guilty, after returning to Beijing, your father will be convicted." Li Shimin is also not good at saying anything about this veteran of the army, so he naturally threw the burden to Li Yuan.
"What are the details, you can tell me."
Liu Wenjing got up and tidied up her appearance, although her clothes were tattered and she fled in defeat, her bearing was still undiminished.
"That day Gaoshu City was in danger, Xue Ju's son Xue Rengao was fierce, led the army to storm Gaoshu City, the last general arrived when it was nearly falling, a few days later Xue Rengao was still attacking, that Xue Rengao only knew how to attack, only to increase casualties, showing the state of reckless man......."
"So you're underestimating?" Li Shimin interjected with a playful face.
Liu Wenjing's face turned red, "Who knew that it was the strategy of Xue Thief's father and son, first to make a reckless attitude to let a certain light enemy, and then to attack and pretend to be a force to retreat, and the last general asked General Yin to lead a few soldiers with a total of 50,000 soldiers out of the city to chase the enemy, and a certain self led 20,000 to defend the city." Li Shimin was already clenching his fists when he heard this, and he knew that the bad thing was that the enemy and the enemy were unclear and went out of the city to chase the enemy.
Liu Wenfeng paused and said: "A few hours after the army left the city, a certain person noticed that something was wrong, and sent scouts to investigate, but learned that General Yin and others were trapped in the shallow water plain, and at a certain time he was distraught and ordered troops to go out of the city to rescue, but he was defeated by Xue Renyue's troops in the middle of the road, and Gaoshu City also fell." The intermittent story is finally over.
Looking at Li Shimin again, Li Shimin's face was ugly, "I still expect why the army was defeated, such a simple strategy to lure the enemy, you Liu Zhaoren is also a well-educated person, but there is no difference."
After speaking, he was helpless, saying that it was already very light to reprimand a few words like this, this is still Li Shimin's always tolerant treatment, and Liu Wenjing can be beheaded just because he disobeys the military order without authorization, and this is still because he is the founding father of the country and is in a high position.
"Yin Kaishan, what happened to Liu Hongji's department?"
"The last general was ambushed only halfway, and he didn't reach the shallow water plain, I don't know, but the shallow water plain is a natural channel, the middle is flat and low, and the plateaus on both sides, and the situation of Yin Liu's generals is not good." After speaking, he wiped his cold sweat and went to save people, but he was defeated without even seeing anyone, and he felt ashamed when he said it.
Li Shimin also had a gloomy face and stopped talking.
After a long time, he shouted, "Come on, return to Qizhou City, and escort Liu Wenjing back to Beijing to wait for His Majesty's conviction."
He also instructed a general to lead a group to inquire about the news.
When you see the defeated army, you will retract, and when you see the enemy, you will retreat.
After returning to Qizhou City, the city guard of Qizhou Thorn Shi learned that the former army was defeated and did not come to touch Li Shimin's head, so he retired after arranging his residence.
Li Shimin lost his temper and calmed down, so he had to wait for the news of the 50,000 horses, hoping that the casualties would not be too large. Thinking of this defeat again, the DPRK and China must have been attacked again, and I couldn't help but have a headache.
Now his heart is in turmoil, but he can only wait anxiously for news, Li Shimin is really up

…………
However, Li Pojun is different, he is at ease in the palace of King Qin, he is still young, in addition to stable study, he is practicing martial arts in the mansion.
On this day, he was very bored and was playing pitching with Ah Zheng Li Tie, saying that this pitching pot is also a traditional game, putting a pot at a certain distance, and then holding a special arrow to throw it inward, all relying on personal eyesight and hand strength.
Li Pojun thought it was very interesting, and it was also helpful for practicing archery, so he had a lot of fun, but he didn't know that his father was in a bad mood at this time.
The father and son were in completely different states at this time.
