Chapter 585: Fiasco, Unacceptable Result
"Kill! ~”
"The king has an order, capture the Tang Emperor alive!"
"Catch the Tang Emperor and reward a thousand gold!"
.......
On the battlefield, the sound of shouting and killing came and went, and the Tang Army was completely defeated in the first battle, even if it was an element of acting.
Naturally, Li Shimin's face is also a little unpleasant, you must know that this time he is using the forbidden army as the main force.
I just wanted to see how strong these forbidden soldiers were, but I didn't expect to collapse as soon as I made contact.
It can be said that there was a lot of hope before, and how disappointed is now.
Even if the promised defeat has now become a real rout, even this emperor can't sit still.
"Mao Gong, send someone to cover the retreat!"
"Shigui, the order is to send the Xuanjia army to guard the forbidden army."
Li Shimin quickly ordered, no matter what, this time it was really defeated.
And the defeat was very complete, although the goal was achieved, but this emperor was obviously not satisfied.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this time, both Li Tao and Zhang Shigui also knew the situation on the battlefield.
The two of them also didn't look very good, especially Zhang Shigui.
As the leader of the forbidden army, he had been worried about the forbidden army before, but His Majesty had a lot of thoughts.
It's just that no decision has been made yet, and this time there is also a little idea of giving the forbidden army a chance.
I didn't expect the forbidden army to perform so poorly now, even Zhang Shigui didn't expect it before.
But the outcome is already doomed, and now it's no longer a question of pursuing this one.
Because if the Forbidden Army loses more, then this time it will be even more difficult.
Without hesitation, the two of them immediately went down to act, and it can be said that there are many differences from the previous plan.
Li Shimin's eyes fell on the battlefield, and with the addition of the border army and the Xuanjia army, the situation on the battlefield gradually stabilized.
It's just that this is not what Li Shimin wants, because this means that with his current strength, he can't overpower Goguryeo at all.
"Father, it's time to retreat."
At this time, Li Chengqian's voice sounded a little pale on the side, and it turned out that he retreated with cover.
Soon it will be over where they are standing, and it will be the first time that this prince has seen such a bloody battlefield.
The breath of blood, as well as the madness of killing, these things had a huge impact on Li Chengqian.
Of course, not only Li Chengqian, but also other princes are average.
Among them, the only one who performed slightly better was Li Tai, after all, Li Tai was not less interested in life and death.
Thanks to the experience of traveling before, plus some knowledge of the academy, the performance is better than that of other princes.
"Hmm!"
After a long time, Li Shimin nodded and said, but there was no trace of emotion on his face, but there was some coldness.
It can be said that this is the first time that this emperor has re-stepped on the battlefield after a long time.
I didn't expect this to be the result, so I have to know that according to the words of the consultation.
The first day needed to be a small defeat, but it was not just a small defeat, it was almost no big defeat, but it was the result of doing your best.
On the other side, as the Tang army began to retreat, King Rongliu's face began to get excited.
"Datang is far worse than the original Dasui!"
King Rongliu couldn't help but comment and said that before the battle, he still had some apprehensions.
I didn't expect it to be so smooth, and even he Goguryeo still had an absolute advantage.
This naturally made the Goryeo king's face very excited, and his confidence obviously increased a lot.
"Pursue this king!"
Without any hesitation, the king of Goryeo immediately decided to pursue, and this king of Rongliu had already imagined what it would look like to defeat the Tang Dynasty.
You must know that this is something that has never happened before, even if the Great Sui and Goguryeo fight, it can only be regarded as a defeat for both sides.
Goguryeo was not a victory either, so this time was the real victory, and it was his brother at the beginning.
Now it is himself, and King Yeryo has fantasized that he has left a strong mark on the history of Goguryeo.
......
When the night fell, the two sides of the war were finally over.
It's just that it belongs to the camp of the Tang Dynasty, and this emperor's face is very ugly.
As for the many generals of the forbidden army standing in front of them with their heads bowed, no matter who swore before, they didn't dare to speak now.
"Your Majesty, nearly two thousand people were killed in battle this time."
Li Tao spoke out on the side, and his words were also very serious.
Most of them were soldiers of the forbidden army, and there were countless wounded, so you must know that this was because His Majesty ordered it earlier.
If it's a little later, then it's definitely more than that, and you have to know that according to the previous thought.
I didn't expect to lose so much, and 2,000 people is not a small number.
The troops that have occupied a lot of military strength this time are now gone, even if Li Tao is distressed.
"How is Goguryeo?"
Li Shimin's face was expressionless, and his tone was a little cold, and he continued to speak.
Faced with His Majesty's question, Li Tao had some hesitation, but finally spoke up.
"It is estimated that the casualties will not exceed a thousand."
This is still a conservative estimate, and if the dead and wounded are combined, it can be said that the gap is huge.
Sure enough, after the words fell, the emperor's face became even more gloomy.
"A bunch of rubbish!"
The last voice was filled with anger, but it was very suppressed.
The emperor seemed to have a lot of words to blurt out, but in the end, his fists clenched and he didn't say any more.
As for the many generals present, their heads were naturally lowered, and I don't know how long it took for Li Shimin to return to his normal look.
His eyes fell on Li Tao, and on the other side, Li Tao immediately understood.
Start planning for tomorrow, knowing that this is only the end of the first day, and it is still early for the third day.
Of course, tomorrow will never be like today, so we need to rearrange it.
.......
Shu'an, on the other side, also received news about the first day of fighting.
"Alas, 2,000 people are buried in other places, and this forbidden army is much weaker than imagined."
Even Shu An's face was a little serious and whispered, with a hint of helplessness in his words.
Because this matter should not be right, in fact, even Shu An did not expect the forbidden army to be so vulnerable.
As a result, Li Shimin misjudged the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, and finally caused this situation.
Shu An didn't have any thoughts of schadenfreude about this matter, even if sometimes he didn't deal with this emperor.
Because everyone's death means that after this return, there are many families to cry about.
"Teacher, I didn't expect that in just a few years, the combat effectiveness would fade so much."
Li Xiuning, who was on the side, also had a bad face, obviously there were so many casualties on the first day, which made this princess very uncomfortable in her heart.
