Turbulent Times Chapter 1590: Li Shimin who escaped for his life

Yuchi Jingde did not command the infantry phalanx in the rear, but led the cavalry to charge forward, and happened to face the cavalry of the Chinese army led by Li Shimin in the middle.

At this time, Yuchi Jingde's horse lance general stood up, and a cavalry soldier of the Li family army who was besieging him showed a flaw, and he hit him on the left arm with a lance, screamed, and fell off the horse.

He was about to take advantage of the situation to take his life, when suddenly his heart trembled, and then he heard a piercing sound, he quickly slid down to the left, dodging the arrow, but at the same time his mount screamed , suddenly knelt down.

"Which **** is this? It's so cunning, it turned out to be two arrows." Yuchi Jingde was shocked, saw the opportunity, and hurriedly jumped onto the mount that a soldier had already given up. And that personal soldier had already jumped onto the mount of the cavalry of the Li family army who had been dismounted by him earlier.

Yuchi Jingde turned his head and saw that his war horse had been hit by several arrows and had already fallen dead.

Yuchi Jingde has always been a man who loves horses as much as his life, so he couldn't help feeling sad and angry at the same time.

He roared, turned the horse's head, and drove the horse towards the person who shot his horse with a murderous look on his face. He wanted to kill this person.

This person is none other than Li Shimin. He recognized Yuchi Jingde at a glance, and knew that if he could kill the commander Yuchi Jingde at this time, the Far Eastern Army would probably collapse immediately. When he was in danger, he dodged and only shot the horse to death.

Yuchi Jingde also recognized Li Shimin, he roared and wanted to rush up to kill Li Shimin, but how could the soldiers around Li Shimin allow him to kill him, hundreds of cavalry rushed out from Li Shimin's side, and captured Yuchi Jingde and the hundreds of soldiers led by him stubbornly blocked it.

Yuchi Jingde discovered that Li Shimin's soldiers were all very skilled. Although he wanted to take Li Shimin's life, Li Shimin's soldiers were really powerful. If he led the cavalry behind him, he could not get rid of them. Can't kill Li Shimin near.

Moreover, Li Shimin is very good at archery. He hid behind his own soldiers and kept shooting at Yuchi Jingde. Fortunately, Yuchi Jingde has strong martial arts skills and superb riding skills. transfer.

It's just that although the Li family army can't easily deal with them for a while, it is almost impossible for them to break through Li Shimin's personal soldiers and fight in front of Li Shimin.

At this time, Yuchi Jingde changed to another horse and rode on it. While leading his men to kill the enemy, he took the time to look around, and found that he wanted to kill Li Shimin just now, and the charge was a little too deep.

Li Shimin also noticed this, so he kept a very close distance with Yuchi Jingde all the time, trying in vain to attract Yuchi Jingde over slowly.

However, just when Li Shimin and Yuchi Jingde were playing with each other and wanted to kill each other.

Suddenly, in the eastern sky, a burst of fireworks shot into the sky, and there were three shots in a row, one more urgent than the other.

Li Shimin and other senior generals of the Li family army couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw this.

This is the three life and death alarms issued by the spies arranged by Li Shimin nearby in an extremely urgent situation. Regarding the situation at this time, it means that there are enough enemy troops that threaten the life and death of Li's army to come quickly.

Sure enough, after the three life and death alarms sounded, the eastern sky was full of dust.

The flying dust covered the sky

, the ground was still shaking with the trampling of the ground when a large group of cavalry galloped, and for a while, the soldiers of the Tiger Camp of the Far Eastern Army who were surrounded by them burst into cheers.

But Li Shimin's complexion has become extremely ugly.

"Order, after Li Guangming leads the troops under his command, the others will retreat." Li Shimin took a deep breath, and without any delay, ordered decisively.

A soldier who was riding on horseback to deliver orders urged his horse to gallop through the rebellious army, and passed the order to Li Guangming's subordinates.

Only, it is not so easy for the rest of the Li family army to evacuate now.

Because Yuchi Jingde led the tiger battalion cavalry to attack more fiercely, and even the infantry phalanx began to move forward.

Although Li Shimin doesn't know why the reinforcements from the Far East Army came so quickly, and it seems that there are only tens of thousands of troops, he knows that this is a race against time. , Today's loss is not too big.

Otherwise, today's ambush will become an ambush, and the losses will inevitably be very heavy, even unbearable.

"Fortunately, in order to be cautious, I arranged for Mao Haizhong to lead 10,000 cavalry to the east. They should be able to stop the reinforcements of the Far East Army for a while, as long as Mao Haizhong buys a moment." After seeing the dust in the east for the first time At this time, Li Shimin suddenly remembered the chess game he had played earlier, and when he heard the call of the messenger, he also calmed down a bit, comforting himself in his heart, and at the same time desperately dispatching troops, preparing to withdraw the main force and go.

However, just when Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief, he heard another exclamation from someone around him. He turned his head to look, but saw a soldier looking to the east with a pale face. Looking at it with his eyes, his chest seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and for a while, his mind was in chaos.

In this short period of time, the smoke and dust in the east are getting closer and closer, and the vanguard of the Far East Army can already be seen faintly!

"Where's Mao Haizhong? Where's Mao Haizhong?" Li Shimin was almost in a state of confusion, and this question just kept popping up in his mind.

Mao Haizhong has a full 10,000 cavalry, even if the opponent comes with 100,000 elite soldiers, he can resist for a while, unless Mao Haizhong turns his back on the battle, or just runs away.

But this is obviously not the time to study whether Mao Haizhong surrendered or escaped,

In the chaos, Li Shimin quickly regained his composure. With a grim expression, he loudly ordered Du Youchao to lead his subordinates to stay behind, while preparing to retreat with the main force who had ambushed here before.

He was already mentally prepared to sacrifice the 30,000 troops belonging to Li Guangming and Du Youchao.

Beside Li Shimin, several Zhiqi flags held high the five-color order flags, waved them quickly, and the sound of drums and horns also changed rapidly, quickly passing his orders to the entire Li family army.

However, even if someone breaks the queen, it is still not easy for Li Shimin to lead the main force to retreat calmly.

The cavalry of the Li Family Army and the Far Eastern Army had already been fighting together. Seeing the reinforcements coming and the sound of the Li Family Army retreating, how could Yuchi Jingde allow him to escape? The same order was passed on, and the formation of the Far Eastern Army was swift. has changed.

First, more than 10,000 cavalry were divided into several groups, and most of the cavalry of the Li family were entangled, and then

After that, the 20,000 infantry phalanx turned into a small infantry phalanx of 1,000 people in an instant. They moved quickly and entangled most of the infantry of the Li family army.

So, the final result is that most of the Li family's army is entangled, and it is difficult to get rid of it for a while.

"Hu Yuema, Yu Qianshi, you lead the three thousand cavalrymen under your respective command to entangle these Far Eastern troops together with Du Youchao and Li Guangming. You must let the others withdraw most of them." The two generals around him shouted.

Hu Yuema and Yu Qianshi looked ashamed, but they didn't dare to disobey the order. They shouted 'No', and then led their respective 3,000 cavalrymen to rush towards Yuchi Jingde from the side with all their might Cut off the entangled Tiger Camp troops, and Li Shimin took the opportunity to lead more than 30,000 cavalry to retreat quickly, and finally got rid of the entanglement of the Far East Army.

But they have a total of 80,000 horses here, and only 30,000 have withdrawn.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Far Eastern Army were about 500 steps away from the battlefield, and at close range, there were at least 60,000 troops, and all of them were cavalry.

According to Li Shimin's previous inquiries about the composition of the Far East Army, the Tiger Battalion, Iron Spear Battalion, and Iron Hammer Battalion he was fighting these days each had 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, which means that the opponent's total cavalry was only 90,000 , and there are already more than 10,000 cavalry in the Tiger Camp, so the more than 60,000 cavalry that came include more than half of the remaining cavalry in the three battalions of the Far Eastern Army on the East Road.

At this time, the 60,000 cavalry reinforcements from the Far Eastern Army finally arrived.

Li Guangming, Du Youchao, Hu Yuema, and Yu Qianshi led four groups of broken descendants, a total of 40,000 people. They were bound to die, but they didn't flinch. More than 40,000 people died in battle, nearly half of them died, and then they began to collapse. Finally, they resisted Yuchi Jingde's 30,000 horses and 60,000 reinforcements for a while. Let Li Shimin lead more than 30,000 horses to flee several miles away.

After Li Shimin escaped with more than 30,000 horsemen, he quickly adjusted his direction slightly and retreated to the Ten Killing Village.

Yuchi Jingde, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Li Jing and others have been planning for today's counter-ambush for a long time, and have used all available forces to create such a great fighter right now. Even gone.

So, at this time, I desperately chased after him.

Fortunately, most of the retreat led by Li Shimin were cavalry, and he also decisively gave up the infantry, so Li Shimin escaped in the end.

Fleeing back to the ten-kill village in a hurry, he loudly asked people to close the city gate. Li Shimin stood on the city wall with a knife in his hand, staring coldly at the cavalry rushing from a distance like a wave, and the hooves were thunderous outside the ten-kill village. He stopped two hundred steps away, and his anger ignited between his brows.

At this time, Li Shimin wanted to eat Mao Haizhong's flesh and drink his blood. He even secretly swore that once Mao Haizhong was caught afterwards, he would be cut into pieces.

But at this time, they entered the Ten Killing Village. Although there were only 40,000 troops in the city, Li Shimin was no longer afraid of the Far East Army, but was full of anger and murderous intent.

Li Shimin's prestige in the hearts of his men and horses is extremely high. Even though he suffered a defeat today, the Li family's army in the city quickly fell silent under the personal charge of the battle. They just followed the orders of the officers at all levels quickly and intensively Prepare to defend the city.
