In the afternoon of the same day, Garqinling and Yang Fan launched a large army and rushed towards the Tang army, they still don't know who the commander of the Tang army is, and they don't know that Li Hao is still alive, otherwise, Li Hao's name can scare them to retreat, because they have been defeated in the hands of Li Hao too many times, especially the Garqinling, last time Li Hao and Fan Lihua almost beat to destroy the country, that war, he thought that Fan Lihua was the supreme commander, and finally knew that Li Hao was just unable to adapt to the plateau climate, staying in the rear to strategize, just like this, He had already abandoned the city and fled, and he had also thought that if Li Hao personally led his troops to the city of Luo, he would probably have hung up long ago.

The army of Tubo and Abbasid rushed all over the mountains, like a rushing river, the momentum was surging, the Tang army immediately retreated, because they were all cavalry, and they had an advantage in speed, so they didn't have to worry about being caught up at all, retreated a distance, turned back and shot a few waves of arrow rain, and then retreated, and then turned back to shoot a few waves of arrow rain, and the enemy army was of course not stupid, counterattacking with arrows, but the annoying thing is that the Tang army's equipment was too sophisticated, everyone was armed to the teeth, and everyone had a big iron shield, and the iron shield was put together, it was an iron wall, Their current tactic is called dog walking, and those who have played online games also call it kite flying.

The Tang army fought very easily, but it made Garqinling and Yang Fan so angry that they gritted their teeth, obviously the strength of the other party was several times that of the other party, but they couldn't touch the other party, which felt really bad.

In order not to bring the enemy army to Guanzhong, Li Hao took them around in a circle, turned to the north, he was not afraid that the enemy would ignore them, and turned to attack Chang'an, because as long as they dared to march into Guanzhong, Li Hao attacked from the rear, plus the garrison army in Guanzhong, they were difficult to fly, which is also why the ancient war was fought city by city, rather than bypassing the city, and it was necessary to ensure that there was no enemy force in their rear, so that the front could fight peacefully.

Three days later, Garqinling and Yang Fan were desperate, these three days were kited by the Tang army all the way, their forces were constantly consumed by the Tang army, and now there are only 400,000 left, and the most important thing is that their food and grass are running out, there is no hope, and now they can only do one thing - withdraw.

At night, a special soldier suddenly ran into Li Hao's tooth tent and said happily: "Lord Wang, there is movement in the enemy camp, it seems that it has begun to withdraw, and even their scouts have all withdrawn!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Hao hurriedly put on his clothes when he heard this, ran out of the camp, just walked a few steps, Li Hao suddenly stopped, he felt that something was not quite right, there was a faint feeling of uneasiness, he picked up the telescope and looked around, this look, suddenly shocked a cold sweat, I saw that fifteen miles away in the northeast, countless people and horses were galloping forward, about 300,000 people, and at the front of the team, there was a figure he recognized, it was Yuan Tiangang!

Li Hao hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack!" There is an enemy attack in the northeast! Don't blow the trumpet, strike the gong! ”

Why don't you blow the trumpet, because the sound of the trumpet is low and travels very far, and it is easy for the Tibetan and Abbasid armies to hear, and if they find themselves attacked by the enemy, they will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to attack.

"Bang bang bang ......" gong sounded.

"Enemy attack in the eastern direction! Enemy attack in the northeast! ”

……

The camp of the Tang army was suddenly noisy.

Although noisy, but not flustered, Li Hao's training content for Qinghai Wei and Xuanjia included emergency training, dressing, eating, bathing, and a series of things must be completed in a very short period of time, in order to deal with various emergencies, now, these trainings are the time to come in handy.

The Tang army quickly assembled, and Li Hao gave an order to retreat to the southeast and return to Chang'an first.

Li Hao led the troops to evacuate, while Garqinling and Yang Fan did not find the embarrassing situation of the Tang army, and they almost withdrew to the west at this time, and they retreated.

After Yuan Tiangang arrived with a large army, Hou Junji sent scouts to quickly investigate, and said: "Master, Li Hao and the barbarians have all fled, one to the west and the other to the south, chasing Li Hao or chasing the barbarians?" ”

Yuan Tiangang thought for a while and said: "Chasing Li Hao, he ruined a good thing last time, and let my plan fail, this time we must turn defeat into victory, and after getting the country, we will slowly deal with these barbarians!" ”

"Yes!" Hou Junji immediately ordered the pursuit of Li Hao's army.

This time, they brought Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui's men and horses, Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui had been conquered by Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang's way of conquering the enemy army was very simple, because he used a secret weapon, and directly killed all the khans and commanders of Hui and Xue Yantuo, and the other party was leaderless, Yuan Tiangang took the opportunity to attack, and then used cannons to deter them, saying that he was the messenger of the gods, and this group of ignorant barbarians obediently surrendered.

Then it is to brainwash this group of surrendered enemy troops, scatter them all, integrate them into their own army, and be led by their own people, and then brainwash, saying that they will take them into the Central Plains and destroy the Tang Dynasty, those barbarians are naturally happy, and it is their dream to enter the Central Plains, and the Central Plains is a world of flowers.

The armies of Hui and Xue Yantuo are all cavalry, after all, they are grassland people, everyone is good at riding and shooting, and they are light horses, and their speed is a few points faster than Li Hao and them.

At noon the next day, Yuan Tiangang and they caught up with Li Hao, Li Hao observed the opponent's soldiers and horses all the way, and found that it was only the grassland army, and immediately relieved, and immediately ordered a counterattack, and the soldiers and horses of the 300,000 grassland people also dared to come to fight against my hundreds of thousands of elite iron cavalry, looking for death!

Li Hao's army began to charge in pairs, seeing Li Hao lining up in front and preparing to charge, Yuan Tiangang showed a sneering smile and beckoned, and the rear army began to run quickly, as if they were preparing something, because the people in front blocked it, Li Hao couldn't see what they were preparing in the rear at all.

Fifty thousand Xuanjia troops rushed towards Yuan Tiangang's army, three miles away from them, suddenly, Yuan Tiangang's front row army quickly dodged, Li Hao suddenly gasped, and exclaimed: "Mortar!" ”

That's right, Yuan Tiangang actually brought hundreds of mortars this time, although the range and power of the mortar cannot be compared with the cannon, but its gun body is light, very easy to carry, and even one person can carry it, this is incomparable to the bulky cannon.

As soon as Li Hao's words fell, a series of sounds of "bang......" sounded, and the mortar was fired.

"No!" Li Hao shouted in despair, his eyes became blood-red, and he roared, "Retreat!" ”

However, it was too late, the sound of "boom boom boom ......" came, and the charging iron cavalry group exploded everywhere, blooming everywhere, and 50,000 iron cavalry people turned on their backs, and the Xuanjia army, known as the invincible in the world, was so vulnerable in front of the mortar.

"Damn!" Li Hao clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged.

Fan Lihua's face was as frightened as earth, and she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Li Hao, withdraw quickly, otherwise we will be wiped out!" ”

"Withdraw!" Li Hao gave the order without hesitation, and then added, "Discard the armor and iron shield and retreat at full speed!" ”

The army immediately turned around and quickly withdrew, leaving behind heavy objects such as iron shields and armor helmets along the way, no wonder people used the word to throw away armor when describing the defeat of the army, it turned out that the armor should really be discarded when fleeing, because the heavy armor and helmet will only affect the speed of escape.

Li Hao rode on horseback and galloped, the hatred in his heart, in fact, he also thought about building mortars, but in order to pursue power, he didn't think about mortars, but he didn't expect to be made by Yuan Tiangang first, Yuan Tiangang was a person during World War II, naturally he had seen this thing, as long as he mastered metallurgy and gunpowder technology, if he wanted to build a mortar, he didn't dare to say that it was not troublesome, but the difficulty was definitely not too great.

This time, Li Hao didn't bring a cannon, he thought that he didn't need a cannon to deal with Yuan Tiangang, he was careless, and the 50,000 Xuanjia army was buried like this, and tears of remorse fell from the corners of his eyes.

Yuan Tiangang found out that Li Hao had escaped, and immediately ordered a pursuit, but after Li Hao and them discarded the iron shield and armor, their speed increased greatly, and their war horses were all good horses, better than Yuan Tiangang's war horses, and at this moment, the speed was much faster than Yuan Tiangang and them, and gradually, the distance was widened.

Half a month later, Li Hao arrived outside Chang'an City, but he was desperate to find that the West City Gate had not been repaired, he knew that this was over, Yuan Tiangang estimated that it would arrive tomorrow, he had 300,000 troops, and mortars, and now the West City Gate had not been repaired, and he only had more than 100,000 troops, absolutely hopeless.

Li Hao stood outside the city, looking at Chang'an City with a dull gaze, no longer seeing his former self-confidence and Xiao Sha, he had come to Datang for so many years, he finally tasted the feeling of failure, and it was a big defeat, this feeling was really bad, so bad that he wanted to die.

The appearance of a large army outside the city naturally caused movement in the city, and many people came to visit Li Hao, but Li Hao stood there, looking at Chang'an City dejectedly, his eyes were a little dull, he didn't say anything, and he didn't pay attention to anyone who asked, as if he had hysteria.
