Li Yuanji's eyes were about to bleed, and he yelled: "No, I don't accept it, Yang Xuangan, I, Li Yuanji, am a ghost, and I won't let you go!" ”

As he spoke, he threw away the lance in his hand, drew the saber from his waist, and swiped it around his neck, blood gushing like a fountain, while his body remained straight in the saddle, motionless.

Li Xiuning exclaimed sadly: "Shiro! A blood mark flowed from the corner of her mouth, her delicate body shook, and she almost fell off the horse, Chai Shao hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled her back, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "Aning, don't be like this, Shiro he... ”

Li Xiuning suddenly shook off Chai Shao's hand and sat firmly, two tears flowed from her eyes, but her voice became calm: "This is Shiro's life, and it is also the choice of every boy in our Li family, dying in battle like this is the death of our Li family in Longxi, with such a younger brother, I should be happy to be a sister!" ”

Chai Shao said silently, for a long time, he looked at the Tang soldiers who had already knelt down in front of him and asked for surrender, and said: "Our army's front-line troops have been defeated and collapsed, and now Yang Xuangan will definitely leave a small number of troops to clean up the battlefield, take prisoners, and send elite soldiers to rush towards us, what should we do?" ”

Li Xiuning gritted his teeth and said: "Our purpose is to block Yang Xuangan, now the enemy army is imposing, our army cannot confront it head-on, give the order, immediately retreat, with a strong bow and crossbow and cavalry, the infantry quickly moved to the camp in the south of the city, and when the time comes, it will join Qian Jiulong and Wang Junkuo's department, and block Yang Xuangan's Jianghuai soldiers there, even if they can't stop it, they can't let them rush to Xicheng comfortably and disturb Erlang!" ”

Saying that, Li Xiuning turned his horse and left without looking back, Chai Shao glared at Yang Xuangan on the opposite side fiercely, and said in a deep voice to the herald beside him: "Do what the princess said, withdraw the troops!" ”

Yang Xuangan calmly watched the teams of Tang troops wearing only single clothes, holding their heads in both hands, strung together by ropes, and escorted out of the battlefield in frustration, and the armor and weapons like mountains were divided into more than a dozen large piles, piled up everywhere on the battlefield, Han Shige said excitedly: "The king (Yang Xuangan was already the king of Han at this time), our army won a complete victory, beheaded more than 21,000 ranks, captured more than 40,000 enemy soldiers, and captured heavy ordnance and armor. What a victory! ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "No, today's battle is a decisive battle, and the battlefield of the real decisive victory is not in it, but in the place where His Majesty and Li Shimin clashed, it sounds like there is no big war in Nancheng now, is there a battlefield situation that can be transmitted back there?" ”

Wang Zhongbo nodded and said: "Tanba just reported that there was no battle in Nancheng, but more than ten miles to the south, the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and there were only more than 20,000 Tang troops and more than 40,000 elite soldiers of our army in Nancheng facing each other across the Yang Canal, under the banner of Li Shimin and His Majesty, but there was no battle. ”

Yang Xuangan frowned: "Impossible, if it is really the main battlefield of the two armies, it will not be such a scale, and it is impossible not to fight until now, it should be the Jingzhou soldiers and horses of Li Jing, the king of Shu, who are attacking and advancing, if Li Shimin's main force goes there, then it is impossible for His Majesty to stand still." Therefore, I expect that the main battlefield of the coaches on both sides is not in the south of the city, but in the west of the city! ”

Han Shige's eyes widened: "Chengxi? How is it possible, how can the two sides run to the west of the city to fight a decisive battle? ”

Yang Xuangan's eyes flashed coldly, and he pointed to Li Xiuning's retreating department, and said: "The twelve guards of Guanzhong are the elite of Li Tang, Li Xiuning and Chai Shao each led the two guards of Greedy Wolf and Taiyin, and the other ten guards were not there, they must have been taken away by Li Shimin, and now Li Yuanji's right army is completely annihilated, and Li Xiuning is still withdrawing and retreating despite the death of his younger brother, which shows that there is a more important place than here, this place must be in the west of the city, and there is the main battlefield!" ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xuangan gritted his teeth: "It turns out that the Tang army is trying its best to delay us, our army's Luoyang army is only 70,000 or 80,000 horses, if the 40,000 people in the south of the city are suspicious soldiers, then Your Majesty is only afraid that there are only 30,000 to 50,000 Huainan veterans and Xiaoguo army, and it is very dangerous to face Li Tang's all-out attack!" ”

Han Shige's eyes widened: "Your Majesty has always been clever, how could he put himself in such a dangerous situation, and how could he lead the troops to the west of the city alone?" ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "I don't know what it is, but Li Shimin must have used some tricks, I'm afraid that now in Que Sai Mountain, he is also trying his best to stop Li Jing's attack with a partial division, delaying time, we can't wait, the order, the cavalry of the whole army will attack with me, bypass the Tang camp in the south of the city, and also bypass Li Xiuning and Chai Shao's department, and go straight to the west of the city, where will be the battlefield of our army!" ”

Han Shige said: "Our cavalry is only 8,000 people, most of them are infantry, only these 8,000 people go, can it work?" ”

Yang Xuangan gritted his teeth: "Gather all the horses and baggage horses of the Tang army, 20,000 infantry on horseback, I trained them when I was in Pengcheng, they can all ride horses, even if they can't rush into battle, they can also be used in maneuver, even if only 10,000 people rush to the battlefield, it will be helpful to Your Majesty, Shimo, you go with me, Uncle Zhong, you continue to command the rest of the army, 3,000 people will take the Tang army prisoners back to the camp, and the others will follow behind Li Xiuning, don't attack, if they attack, they will form a formation to defend, understand?" ”

Wang Zhongbo nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Yang Xuangan rode out of his horse and shouted: "Jianghuai cavalry, come with me, Shimo, you take the cavalry infantry to keep up in time, speed!" ”

Li Xiuning was wiping the tears from his eyes while riding a horse, Shuang'er followed closely with more than a dozen personal female guards, while Chai Shao followed silently without saying a word.

There was a sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground five miles behind him, Chai Shao and Li Xiuning turned their heads in unison, only to see a cloud of smoke and dust rising into the air, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were galloping at full speed, starting from the battlefield in the distance, heading towards the side of the army.

Chai Shao's face changed, and he said angrily: "Holy shit, do you want to eat us in one bite?" A-Ning, fight with them! ”

Li Xiuning frowned, stared at it for a while, and shook his head: "No, they didn't come at us, but they seemed to be going around us." Looking at Yang Xuangan, who was dressed in white horse and silver armor and rushed to the front first, Li Xiuning said faintly: "Yang Xuangan personally led the cavalry to gallop, I'm afraid I'm going to Erlang, he should be aware of the location of the main battlefield, we must not let them rush over, husband, we will also lead the cavalry to chase and intercept Yang Xuangan!" ”

Chai Shao laughed, put on the noodle stick, picked up the lance, and shouted: "Knights, the time has come to avenge the King of Qi, rush with me!" ”
