In the twilight, Liu's slender figure straddling the white horse trembled slightly in the cold morning breeze of late autumn, and his clothes fluttered in the wind.

"Madam, it's the clarion call of the Zhendong Army!"

"Madam, General Si Yuan and General Si Zhao ask to hold on for another quarter of an hour, and they will definitely recapture Guancheng!"

"Madam, General Si Zhao has recaptured Guanlou, and there are only dozens of remnants of the enemy soldiers left who are still resisting."

On the surface, the situation seems to be good, but in reality things are not optimistic.

Liu Yunniang clenched her finger kucks and turned white, "We lost this battle!" ”

She looked around at the people around her and said lightly.

Everyone's expressions couldn't help but be gloomy, this battle had already been lost, and more than a dozen assassins killed the four leading generals in the pass. Dozens of people took the gate, who after they attacked for so long, they still haven't recaptured the gate.

The enemy's large forces have appeared, and this time there is no chance of any luck.

Jing Niang, the female sword guard, was carrying a sword and wearing a silver mask on her face, Jing Niang was originally a very beautiful woman, but unfortunately she wore a mask except in private. Jing Niang stepped forward and said, "Madam, the Zhendong soldiers in the Guanye are about to be cleared, and the two sons will definitely be able to recapture the Guanmen." We still have thousands of men and horses, and as long as we hold the pass, we will definitely be able to hold it. As long as we send reinforcements to come, we will never lose. ”

"We have lost, and if we lose, we have lost, and on the battlefield, it is very important to see the situation clearly." Liu Yunniang said lightly: "If you lose, you lose, what you need at this time is not to find a reason, not to save face." It's about how to take the next step. The current situation. A few hundred Zhendong troops can fight, and thousands of us are helpless. Now that thousands of troops from the Zhendong Army have arrived, how can we resist? Although they are very brave, they are not useful. Although we have thousands of soldiers and horses, these soldiers are not Shatuo's elite soldiers. What's more, our opponent is still Li Jing's Zhendong Army, which is an army that has not paid for its defeats so far, and even the Youzhou Lulongqiang Army was defeated in the hands of Li Jing, not to mention those of us who stayed behind and were weak and weak. ”

"Li Jing and the Zhendong Army are both strong soldiers who can compete with our Shatuo Army. We are not ashamed to lose to them. What we need at the moment is to recognize the situation, we can't keep the Thai opera pass, and if we fight again, we will put more soldiers and horses into it, which will not help. What is urgently needed now is to immediately withdraw the soldiers and horses and retreat to Daizhou or Shuozhou, either to join the soldiers and horses left behind in the north of Taiyuan, or to withdraw to the new city in Shuozhou. Jing Niang! ”

Jing Niang's face was hidden behind the mask, and her expression at this time could not be seen. But her voice was still full of unwillingness, "Madam." I understood, and I immediately went to deliver the lady's order to the two sons. ”

Under the city, Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan were doing the most difficult attack, and Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, Gao Siji's men and horses were less than half a hundred at this time, and they had retreated again and again, retreating to the city gate cave.

"You can't retreat any more, and if you retreat again, the city gate will be recaptured. The teacher has arrived, and he has paid such a big casualty, no matter how he closes the door, he can't lose it anymore. "Gao Siji of the white horse and silver spear has become a bloody man at this time, and there is blood all over his body, and he doesn't know which ones are his own and which ones are the enemy. Liu Xun and Wang Yanzhang were no better, the two of them waved their blades mechanically, and there was basically no pause for a moment.

Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan led the troops to recapture the Guanmen Tower, but they still failed to recapture the Guanmen by this time. Standing on the Guan Tower, you can clearly see the mountain road in front of the pass, dusty, and a group of people and horses are rushing to come. The Zhendong Army and the Li Zi banner in front of him have vaguely seen clearly, and the momentum is at least 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Looking at this scene, Li Sizhao was worried. Jing Niang rode a horse here and found him directly, and said in a cold tone: "Madame has an order, withdraw from the battle immediately, and the whole army retreats to Daizhou." ”

"Give us another quarter of an hour, and I will personally lead someone to behead Li Jing's three protégés!" Li Sizhao said hurriedly.

Jing Niang still said coldly: "This is Madame's order, Madame ordered the retreat of the soldiers and horses to be the main general, and let the Si Zhao Gongzi obey the military order." The people don't care, Mrs. said that Li Jing is not a person who loves to kill, and those injured soldiers, and those who can't keep up, just stay, let them simply surrender Li Jing. ”

After Jing Niang finished speaking coldly, Li Siyuan couldn't help but cry. Although this battle was not the first battle between the Shatuo Army and the Zhendong Army, in this battle, their Shatuo Army was completely devoid of momentum, dignity and glory by the Zhendong Army.

It can be said that they had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and in the end, they were defeated by hundreds of people.

Moreover, they are the ones who guard the gates.

"What?" Li Sizhao, who was preparing to attack in front of the city gate, listened to the order of Jing Niang brought by Li Siyuan, grabbed Jing Niang's collar, and roared angrily with anger in his eyes, "What are you talking about? You repeat? ”

Under the mask, Jing Niang's still cold order came: "Hei Zhao Gongzi, this is Madame's order, Madame orders you to immediately collect your troops and retreat, and besides, all the soldiers and horses in Tai Opera Pass are mainly General Si Yuan Gongzi, let Si Zhao Gongzi be the deputy, and obey the arrangement of Si Yuan Gongzi." ”

"Impossible! You fake military orders, I'll kill you! Regardless of Jing Niang's identity, Li Sizhao reached out and was about to touch the knife, but Jing Niang calmly took out a small golden arrow from her arms.

Looking at the familiar golden arrow, Li Sizhao let go of his hand gloomily, this small arrow was the arrow that the Shatuo people had received from the Turkic Khan King when they were one of the ten Turkic tribes. Today, this arrow no longer has the role of commanding the ministries at the beginning, but it is still very important in Shatuo. Li Guochang handed over the arrow to his son, symbolizing Li Keyong's identity as the young clan master. Li Keyong later handed it over to his wife, which means that after Liu Yunniang gives birth to a son in the future, the arrow will be the identity of the future young patriarch.

Li Sizhao wailed: "Madam! In anger, blood sprayed from the wound like an arrow.

The armistice order was finally conveyed, and the sound of clanging gold continued to sound, and the Shatuo soldiers, who had already known that most of the Eastern Army of Dao Town were coming, immediately turned around and left without hesitation. In the sound of the whining horn, the Liu family took the two brothers Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan, as well as the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately evacuated towards Fanzhi City in Daizhou. Many people in Ulju also evacuated, and some people scattered in a daze.

When Li Jing led the troops to gallop to the gate, the city gate was still open, and the wounded soldiers were lying in the hole of the city gate, but the flags of the four generals were still erected, Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, and Gao Siji all became bloody people, but they were still struggling to stand in front of the gate to welcome Li Jing's arrival.

Li Jing rode his horse to the front of the pass, and the three of them couldn't support it anymore, so they knelt in front of Li Jing. Seeing the tragic scene under the gate, Li Jing's heart ached like a knife, especially when he saw Liu Xun's three protégés and those elite cavalrymen who didn't even have a single one who could stand at this time, and they were even twisted by a knife a few times.

Although he was angry at the fact that these students did not obey the military orders and fought this unorganized and undisciplined battle. But for now, I still have to comfort the soldiers.

Jumping off the horse, Li Jing stopped the three students from kneeling down and asking for guilt, and asked in a somewhat cold tone: "What about Li Cunxiao, isn't he very bold, and he is killed by hundreds of people in Zhigu Guanzhong, do you think that the eldest is the second child, what about others?" ”

Liu Xun cried bitterly: "The fourth brother led seventeen horsemen to sneak into the pass and captured the three brothers Li Kerou, Li Kezhang, and Li Kexiu, but they were surrounded. It is said that the fourth brother refused to surrender, and retreated into the town general's mansion at the least, and directly burned the fire and jade. ”

Li Jing was stunned on the spot like thunder, Li Cunxiao died? Although he was very angry with Li Cunxiao just now, and was ready to teach him a good lesson about his unruly temperament, he actually liked this protégé very much in his heart. Why is he dead now?

"Doctor, hurry up and heal Bohu and them, and find out all the brothers in the pass, as long as there is still a breath left, we must revive him. In addition, send some more people, while clearing the remnants of the enemy, while searching for them, I don't believe they are dead, I want to see people in life, I want to see corpses in death! ”

Wang Yanzhang had at least dozens of wounds on his body, and his bleeding face was a little pale. But at this time, he insisted on not going on.

"The county prince, Li Keyong's three brothers died, and now there are more than 3,000 people in Shatuo, and the two righteous sons of Li Keyong are in command, Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao, and I heard that Li Keyong's wife is also there. They had just heard of the arrival of the county magistrate, and they were frightened and had fled to Daizhou. My subordinates are willing to make meritorious service to atone for their sins, and ask the county prince to draw a thousand cavalry to me, and I will go and arrest the three of them! ”

"Don't!" Li Jing shouted angrily, glaring at Wang Yanzhang with his eyes open in unprecedented anger, and even Wang Tielan, who had always been bold, couldn't help but take three steps back by this gaze. "Isn't that what you've just learned isn't enough? What do you think war is? Is fighting a war a murder? ”

Li Jing roared and shouted, his heart was unprecedentedly irritated: "How many lessons has Lao Tzu taught you, have you memorized a little bit of it?" What is war? Fighting a war is a continuation of politics, not for the sake of killing, for the sake of robbery. Did I give you the task of sending troops before, and did I ask you to attack Taixi Mountain City? Who gave you the power to fight in Taixi Mountain City? Of the 800 most elite cavalry, there are less than 40 of them still alive, and these more than 700 elite soldiers are gone, can you take this responsibility? I'll hand over the most elite soldiers to you, and you'll only have a few days? Just bury all these heroic soldiers? Damn, just like you birds, you still lead troops to fight, and from now on, all of you will be reduced to inferior, and after you are healed, you will be locked up for ten days. If you can't figure out what it means to fight, what it means to lead troops, and what is the duty of a general, you don't want to lead troops anymore, now, get down to Lao Tzu and heal well, get out! ”

The generals' impression of Li Jing is that he is a very benevolent and humble person, usually speaks gently and has no arrogance, and will not beat and scold the soldiers at will, and the rewards are also rich. No one thought that such a Li Jing would have such a furious side today. Not only Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, Gao Siji and others were stunned by the scolding, but even Li Zhenlin, Wu Wangzhong and other generals were stunned for a while, and no one even thought of coming to persuade a few words.
