Chapter 480: Soldiers trapped in the lonely city

Chapter 483

In this battle, the emperor suffered heavy casualties, and finally fled back to Huangsha City, but only five or six thousand people. This is because Li Letian ordered the troops to withdraw in time, so as to avoid the doom of being completely annihilated. But despite this, three or four thousand people fell on the battlefield.

Such a large casualty was the rout of the entire team, and after the fight, the emperor had actually lost his resistance. They either chose to flee or hold their heads and be hacked.

Of course, in this casualty, the Qingzhou soldiers suffered the most casualties, but the Liangzhou soldiers suffered very few losses. This is because the Liangzhou soldiers have already had a lot of dealings with the toad army, and it is impossible to win the other party, but escaping to save their lives is what they are good at.

The Liangzhou soldiers, known as the strong army in the northwest, are worthy of the name of strong soldiers in this regard.

Cheng Dalei did not order the troops to pursue, which proved everyone's initial conjecture: he was going to trap everyone to death in Huangsha City.

After the war, there should have been a military meeting to analyze the gains and losses of the war. What strengths does the emperor have that can be played, and what weaknesses does the toad army have that can be exploited. But surprisingly, no one proposed a meeting, and everyone left the city in despair.

The reason may be because, through this battle, everyone did not find the weaknesses of the toad army, and similarly, they did not feel that the emperor ** had any strengths.

Li Letian, Wei Chili, Cui Xiang and others are all buzzing in their heads now, there are too many things they need to digest in this battle.

Among the emperors, there is no shortage of people of insight, who are exhausted, meditating, and pondering how to improve the combat effectiveness of the emperor, and can win in the battle with the Rong people. However, the results are always disappointing.

Today, the toad army led by Cheng Dalei has taught them a lesson. Let them understand that with good coordination, soldiers can exert unimaginable combat effectiveness.

Li Letian witnessed this battle with his own eyes, which caused him a great shock. It turns out that you can still fight like this, if you give yourself some time and train such a strong army, then you will be more confident in the face of this empire full of princes. Give yourself some more time, you may not be able to clean up the old mountains and rivers and reorganize the Li family.

However, who will give themselves time......

Thinking of this, Li Letian let out a long sigh, feeling a little powerless.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

A personal guard ran into the room and interrupted Li Letian's thoughts. As soon as he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the Qingzhou soldiers and the Jingzhou soldiers have fought."

"What's the fight?" Li Letian said strangely.

"The Qingzhou soldiers said that the Liangzhou soldiers were afraid of war and death, and the Liangzhou soldiers said that the Qingzhou soldiers were a group of stupid pigs, so they fought. ”

"I think they're stupid pigs!"

Li Letian was furious, and there was still infighting until now. He wanted to deal with it immediately, but after thinking about it, he stopped again. There are some things that you don't have to do in person.

"Okay, I know, let General Wei Chi deal with it. ”

"That...... General Wei Chi has already gone, and Cui Xiang is also at the scene, it was General Wei Chi who asked me to invite His Highness. ”

Li Letian scolded in his mouth and immediately rushed to the scene. Seeing that the two sides were glaring angrily on the street, the first few people were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces.

"The Qingzhou soldiers are too reckless, otherwise why would they cause so many casualties. "Song Bokang.

"The surname is Song, if you still say cool words, you can run fast!"

Looking at the meaning of the two, they wanted to do it on the spot, Cui Xiang stood behind Song Bokang, and Wei Chili stood behind Zhou Zhaojing, and neither of them expressed their opinions on this scene.

When Li Letian appeared, everyone fell silent.

"Your Highness, you can give us a comment, the brothers died so miserably, the surnamed Song didn't work hard, and he still said cool things. ”

"Please also ask Your Highness to uphold justice, I am also telling the truth, the Qingzhou soldiers performed too poorly in this battle. ”

Li Letian's face was already difficult to see, he looked around and saw that there were people in the Qingzhou and Liangzhou armies. The number of participants in this infighting reached hundreds, and if it was not stopped in time, the situation would have been out of control.

"Who made the first move?" Li Letian said suddenly.

No one in the Qingzhou soldiers spoke, and the Liangzhou soldiers stood up, pointed to the hundred captains and said, "It's him!"

"Okay, you come out for me. Tell me how he moved his hands. Li Letian pointed to the centurion again: "You also come out with me." ”

Both of them stood in front of Li Letian, and the centurion held his head high and said, "Your Highness, you have to make decisions for me......"

Li Letian didn't wait for him to speak, he suddenly drew his sword, and a sword skewed his throat, and before the Liangzhou soldiers had time to be happy, Li Letian swung his sword and slashed him again.

The two corpses fell to the ground, the sword in Li Letian's hand was dripping blood, and there were thousands of people on the field, but none of them spoke.

"The big war is coming, and there will be private fighters, talk to my sword!"

Wherever his gaze swept, no one dared to meet his gaze. Li Letian put his sword back into its sheath and strode away from the scene.

At this time, Cui Xiangcai slowly raised his head, stared at Li Letian's back, and an idea popped up in his heart: There is something Li Manzi means.

Li Letian didn't want to kill Liwei, a prince of the empire, the person who is currently closest to the imperial throne, he doesn't need to use this method. He was just not very happy, and the infighting between the two armies made him aware of an uneasy fact: the morale of the army was already in turmoil.

The soldiers were trapped in a lonely city, without food and grass support, and fought a fiasco. This situation makes everyone feel uneasy, such as Li Letian, a big man like this, not to mention the low-level soldiers.

What the big guys want is the whole world, and all the soldiers at the bottom want is to live.

In the evening, an even worse fact happened, Yuzhou Mu Yanglin actually opened the city gate privately, trying to escape overnight.

When this news was reported to Li Letian, Yang Lin had already fled. They fled from the south gate, so that the distance to escape back to Yuzhou was the closest.

Wei Chili had already personally led his troops in pursuit, however, it did not play a big role. Cheng Dalei exercised the power to dispose of deserters in his place.

Three thousand dragon horsemen pursued and killed the Yuzhou soldiers, and one after another corpses fell on the grassland, and the Yuzhou soldiers did not have any will to resist and suffered a great defeat.

In the end, although a group of people escaped, the cost of casualties was enormous.

This made Li Letian's mood even worse, except for Yang Lin in Yuzhou, I was afraid that other princes would not want to fight.

He analyzed the situation in front of him, thought about it, and was afraid that there was only one way. It is a decisive battle out of the city, with 80,000 hungry men against Cheng Dalei's 10,000 elite soldiers, of course, there will be heavy casualties, but it can also break free from this predicament.

But who will sacrifice and who will live...... The princes of all walks of life are afraid that they also have their own thoughts.

Li Letian suddenly could understand Emperor Ming's feelings, in the face of such a group of people, it is really easier to be a faint monarch than to be a Ming monarch.
