Wude five years, midsummer.

Outside the city of Longxi, by the Weishui River.

Li Shimin personally went out of the city to greet Zhang Chao and his entourage, and after he looked for a long time under the six guards, he finally confirmed that it was really only Zhang Chao, the head of the Right Rear Army appointed by him, who came.

Zhang Chao, the commander of the right rear army, Li Shousu, the commander of the right front army, Xu Jingzong, the commander of the left rear army, and Sima Cui Shanfu of the right rear army, Ma Zhou and Cen Wenwen, who joined the army, and Li Yan, the assassin of Qinzhou......

Zhang Chao jumped off the horse and came to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is still alive, but he is a little embarrassed, he has lost a little weight, his eyes are still blood-red, the armor on his body is covered with dark red blood scabs, and there is a bloody breath coming to his nose.

"Zhang Chao, the commander of the right rear army of the last general, the rescue is late, please forgive the marshal!"

Li Shimin took two steps forward and grabbed Zhang Chao's arm.

"It's too late for Ben Shuai to be grateful, Wenyuan, Wenyuan, you are so unexpected by us, you are really too timely."

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji all looked at Zhang Chao one by one, and their eyes were full of gratitude. Half a day late, Zhang Chao could only collect their bodies.

In Longxi City, more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians survived, each of whom was full of gratitude to Zhang Chao.

"After seven days and nights of bloody fighting, more than 5,000 enemies were killed, rivers of blood flowed, and corpses piled up like mountains. Fortunately, your rescue was timely, and Fang Weicheng was destroyed! Li Shimin didn't care about anything else, kindly held Zhang Chao's hand, and sighed.

Although the scale of this war is not large, it can be called the most dangerous one since Li Shimin commanded the army.

"How many casualties are there in the city?" Zhang Chao asked.

Both of them are bold guys, and they are both a little scared at this time. Zhang Chao's back was also soaked with sweat.

Speaking of casualties, Li Shimin's face was a little defeated, he led four armies of nearly 13,000 people to hold Longxi City for seven days, and there were still thousands of people in the city.

In the past seven days, he relied on one breath, and finally relied on a trick to delay the army and delayed it for another night before Zhang Chao arrived. More than 5,000 enemies were killed, but their own casualties were also quite staggering.

Under the continuous attacks of the Tuyuhun people, they have survived with their lives every time.

"More than 6,000 were killed in the battle, and more than 1,000 were seriously wounded, not counting minor injuries." Du Ruhui was hanging an arm, and there was gauze wrapped around his head, Zhang Chao almost didn't recognize it just now, this was Du Ruhui who was Li Shimin's right-hand man.

"More than 6,000 killed in the battle and more than 1,000 seriously wounded?" Zhang Chao couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, this casualty figure is a bit amazing.

"More than 3,000 soldiers died in battle, more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers died, and more than 1,000 people died in the city!"

A few cold numbers, but everywhere reveals the tragedy of this offensive and defensive battle.

Fortunately, this is in the city, and fortunately, the soldiers are the guards of the Son of Heaven from Beijing.

Even if the casualties are removed, the 13,000 people brought by Li Shimin will also suffer more than 6,000 casualties, which means that 50% of the battle losses will be lost.

If it is a field battle, almost no army can fight to the remaining fifty percent and still hold on, even if it is to defend the city, this is a bit of a miracle.

On the other hand, Li Shimin fought with one enemy and six enemies, and also suffered an almost one-to-one battle loss.

Zhang Chao really admires it very much, he is worthy of being a great general, a martial arts genius, and ordinary people really can't do it.

"Wen Yuan, haven't you met the Tuyuhun people along the way?" Li Shimin has always had a doubt in his heart.

Qinzhou Thorn Shi Li Yan couldn't help but say beside him, "Your Highness, Master Zhang is really a god, maybe His Highness won't believe it if he says it." Previously, more than 6,000 Dangxiang Qiang rebels were wreaking havoc in Qinzhou. At that time, I had just rushed from Chengji to Fuqiang, where I supervised the grain and grass, and the Qiang people were killed, and they surrounded Fuqiang with 3,000 men, and sent 3,000 people to the east to attack and plunder......"

Li Yan's eloquence is very good, this civil official also has two brushes, Li Yan, who was born in Li Li, Longxi, can also have a distant relationship with the royal Pan. Li Yan is most famous because he is one of the two most proficient in genealogy today, and the other is Li Shousu.

But this genealogist, when the Qiang people besieged the Qiang city, he only relied on the 500 soldiers in the city and the people in the city to block the siege of the 3,000 Qiang people.

However, Li Shimin is not interested in this.

"San Lang is in the city along the river, annihilating the three thousand Qiang army?"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were all speechless in shock, and even Zhang Liang, Hou Junji, Gongsun Wuda, and Liu Shili were all dumbfounded.

"How?"

Li Shimin is also a veteran who has fought for many years, he knows very well what the situation is in Zhang Chao's hands, he has been recruited for less than a month, he has never been trained, and most of them have not even become adults, some young middle-aged men, who turned out to be farmers and workshop apprentices, and have no equipment, can actually destroy 3,000 Qiang people in one battle?

Even if it's three hundred Qiang people, it's not easy.

And it's all annihilated, and not a single one has been run, how did this happen? Li Shimin asked himself, if he was Zhang Chao, he would definitely not be able to do it.

"Your Highness, the last general only took advantage of the situation and adapted measures to local conditions, and then used a plan to lure the enemy into the city, surround and annihilate him." Zhang Chao understated.

Under Li Shimin's repeated questioning, Xu Jingzong exerted his eloquence and told the detailed situation of the riverside city at that time. From Zhang Chao sending scouts all the way out to reconnoitre, to discovering the party rebels in advance, and then resolutely retreating back to Yanhe City.

and then defended the head of the city several times and repelled the Qiang attack.

Then Zhang Chao boldly lured the enemy into the city, more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians, fought back, annihilated nearly 1,000 enemies, captured more than 2,000 people, and did not let go of a single Qiang thief, and his own losses were only a few hundred.

3,000 enemies were annihilated, thousands of horses were captured, and many weapons and armor were captured.

God! Zhang Liang, Hou Junji, and Zhang Gongjin admired the five-body throw, they have been in battle for a long time, but they can't think of Zhang Chao's bold plan at all, the key is that Zhang Chao is not only bold, but also does win beautifully.

Tang Jian, Yu Wenshi, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, the eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Zhining, and Yu Shinan were scholars who lived for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they had infinite admiration for Zhang Chaosheng. is also a bachelor of Hanlin, Zhang Chao is so much younger than them, but he is already able to write and martial arts.

Zhang Chao's performance in Riverside City, they only think that they can only evaluate it with natural handsomeness.

can be compared to Xie Xuan, Chen Qingzhi, or Yang Su, Li Mi, in short, they are all awesome.

Li Shimin pulled Zhang Chao and looked up and down carefully, Zhang Chao made him a little strange, and he should be impressed by the three days.

Li Yan also praised Zhang Chao on the side.

He led 500 people to guard the danger of the Qiang city guard, but Zhang Chao swaggered over and directly scared the 3,000 Qiang people back.

"And then you took these recruits and people like this and appeared directly outside Longxi City? You didn't think that maybe Murong Fuyun would see through your reality? ”

Zhang Chao smiled.

Of course, I thought about it, and the last general also knew that this was a risk, like walking on a string and dancing on an egg. But at that time, the last general was not allowed to think too much, and the last general knew that His Royal Highness was still holding on to Longxi City, and the soldiers were outnumbered, and he knew that His Royal Highness was waiting for the arrival of the last general. ”

"Even if the party members really see through my fiction and reality, but I at least rushed to the city of Longxi, at least I can always attract some party troops for Your Majesty, and maybe let Your Highness break through."

Li Shimin was very moved.

"All the soldiers will follow me into the city!" Li Shimin took Zhang Chao's hand and walked towards the city together.

"Thousands of miles of rescue, horizontal sword and prancing horse, everywhere, only I General Zhang!" Li Shimin laughed, and he was about to burst into tears.

The two armies cheered and entered Longxi City together.

There were only more than 10,000 lone soldiers, and when there was a shortage of food and grass, Li Shimin insisted on not retreating. Now that the god-like Zhang Chao has arrived with 18,000 people and a large number of grain, grass and ordnance supplements, it is even more impossible for Li Shimin to retreat.

The situation remains dangerous.

But Li Shimin thinks that they have finally come to this point, and they must not retreat.

There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if two-thirds of them are new soldiers, Li Shimin will not retreat.

Now that the morale of the army is high, he feels that he can defend it, and he not only wants to defend it, but also prepares to fight.

The newly arrived soldiers took over the city defense, and the newly arrived people, young and strong, helped repair the city fortifications. The wounded soldiers in the city were also better treated with a large number of newly arrived medicines.

Zhang Chao, Xu Jingzong and Li Shimin sat in the county government to discuss matters.

"Finally able to eat a hot meal, and jerky to eat, cool!" The eldest grandson Wuji laughed.

Li Shimin also chewed on bacon and devoured it.

After eating a few large bowls of rice in one go, Li Shimin exhaled a long breath.

"Wen Yuan, your right rear army is retained, and the recruits of the right front and left rear armies are all added to the middle army, the left and right Yuhou army and the left front army."

The Seventh Army, all of a sudden, left the Fifth Army.

Zhang Chao still commanded his right rear army, and the men and horses remained intact.

"Rest for a day, and send troops tomorrow!" Li Shimin hated the way.

"Your Highness, there will be a word at the end, I don't know whether to say it or not!" Zhang exceeded his voice.

"You say."

Zhang Chao sorted out his thoughts, organized the words, and said slowly, "The last general thinks that we can't fight anymore." ”

"This should not be said by the bold and powerful Zhang Saburo." Li Shimin looked at Zhang Chao.

"The last general is indeed not a person who is afraid of war, but in the current situation, we have little chance of winning when we start a war, and it can even be said to be extremely dangerous. Although there were more than 20,000 men in the city at the moment, there were only 6,000 real soldiers, and they were all so tired that almost all of them were wounded. ”

"If you defend the city, there are new soldiers to replenish, there is grain and grass, and you are not afraid of 50,000 Tuyuhun people. But if you take the initiative to attack, or even fight in the field, you have no chance of winning. Your Highness, those recruits have no city wall protection, and they may be scattered if they are rushed by the Tuyuhun people. ”

Zhang Chao had to persuade Li Shimin to dispel the idea of sending troops.

He ventured all the way here, and succeeded in swindling chickens, but he didn't want to run out to deliver food in the end.

"Today's Tuyuhun retreat is just deceived by our bluff, if we don't go out of the city, we can deceive again, but once we get out of the city, we will inevitably be exposed."

was persuaded by Zhang Chao like this, and the fire in Li Shimin's heart dropped a little.

"What about you?"
