Chapter 1963 Battle of Qianshuiyuan (8) Retreat

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Shimin couldn¡¯t believe this idea that suddenly came to him.

    If all this is Xue Ju's deliberate plan, then it will be self-evident what is waiting for the Tang army at the front.

    Li Shimin suddenly shuddered and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

    No, no!

    Li Shimin kept telling himself, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible.  But the more this happened, the more he thought about it.  Until the end, he couldn't even deceive himself.

    My teacher taught me that an outstanding general must not lack unbridled imagination, let alone ignore his own subtle ideas.

    Sometimes a sudden flash of inspiration can save a life.

    Li Shimin struggled tremblingly for a whole cup of tea, and finally decided to retreat.

    The current self cannot afford to lose this battle.

    Li Shimin took a deep breath and said to Chai Shao, who had been standing in front of him: "Sichang (Chai Shao's character), we have to retreat. I suspect Xue Ju is ambushing ahead."

    Chai Shao was shocked when he heard this and said: "Marshal!"

    Li Shimin raised his hand to interrupt Chai Shao.

    "Don't make any noise about this matter. Send my order and the whole army retreats quietly. Don't disturb the Western Qin army."

    Chai Shao looked at Li Shimin¡¯s ugly face, turned around and left without saying anything.

    Li Shimin¡¯s legs were so weak that he could hardly stand and sat down on the ground.  After staying like this for a long time, Li Shimin finally regained his breath.

    Li Shimin finally understood what Huang Mingyuan said: as a general, one word can determine the life and death of three armies, and he is responsible for thousands of families, so he must not be careless.

    The main generals of Li Shimin's part are Chai Shao, Qiu Xinggong and Li Gaoqian.

    Chai Shaosu was close to Li Shimin. Li Gaoqian was a direct descendant of Li Yuan and resolutely carried out Li Shimin's orders. As for Qiu Xinggong, he had fewer troops, so there was almost no opposition in the army and they began to retreat.

    In the night, the Tang army slowly returned from the newly built camp and headed east.

    Li Shimin glanced back to the west. He knew that if he retreated, there would be no possibility of defeating Xue Ju.

    While Li Shimin was retreating, he also sent an order to Liu Hongji and Dou Gui on both wings, ordering them to turn around and evacuate immediately without delay.  In order to ensure that the two of them knew that the matter was urgent, Li Shimin sent five people in succession to convey the order, and explicitly asked the two of them that if they did not retreat, they would be executed without mercy.

    Li Shimin was relieved about Liu Hongji, but he was worried that Dou Gui would disobey orders.

    But what Li Shimin didn¡¯t know was that neither Liu Hongji nor Dou Gui could withdraw.

    When Li Gaoqian and the Western Qin Army fought in Nangou, Dou Gui also led his army to fight against the Western Qin Army at Changqing Bridge.  The person in the rear of this road is Xue Ju's son, Xue Rengao, the crown prince of the Western Qin Dynasty.

    Xue Rengao was a tall and powerful man, brave and good at shooting. His troops were all the elites of the Western Qin Dynasty.

    Xue Ju ordered Xue Rengao to camp at Changqing Bridge to lure the enemy, but Xue Rengao was a little dissatisfied.  In his opinion, the enemy can be defeated by sending his elite troops directly towards the enemy's formation, so why not use any other method to lure the enemy?

    Xue Ju knew his son's character and repeatedly ordered Xue Rengao not to waste time fighting, otherwise he would be severely punished. He also sent more than ten of his close associates to monitor Xue Rengao.

    Xue Rengao is not afraid of anything, but what he fears most is his father.  Because Xue Ju is wiser, braver, and crueler than him.  Faced with his father's order, Xue Rengao did not dare to disobey, so he had to gather more than 3,000 people in Changqing Qiaotun, and then retreated the main force to Niujiaogou.

    This is the cemetery designed by Xue Rengao for Dou Gui.

    In order to prevent Li Tang's army from breaking out of the siege, Xue Ju prepared to divide and destroy Li Tang's army.

    Seeing Dou Gui chasing after him, Xue Rengao engaged him in battle. Soon after, he pretended to be defeated and retreated first.  Three thousand men and horses roared eastward, bringing up the dust.  &#29306&#22914&#32&#107&#101&#110&#115&#104&#117&#102&#97&#110&#103&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#29306&#22914

    The Dou Rail was heading west along the south bank of Jingshui River. At this time, when I climbed up and looked from a distance, I saw that the flags of the Western Qin Army were lying in a mess, and the horse hoof prints and ruts were extremely chaotic. I was secretly happy that the Western Qin Army was not a concern.

    So Dou Gui ordered the three armies to speed up and rush to Zhe'an City ahead of Li Shimin's troops.

    When the time comes, let Li Shimin know that ginger is still hot when he is old.

    Dou Gui's troops traveled all night without even a break.  By the time he received Li Shimin's letter, it was already late at night.

    Facing Li Shimin¡¯s order, Dou Gui threw it aside without looking at it.

    It¡¯s ridiculous to retreat just because of a guess.  These tens of thousands of people have been struggling for a long time.?One night, we were about to defeat the enemy army. We retreated as soon as we were told to retreat.

    So Dou Gui ordered him to continue on his way. If anything happens, we can wait until he takes Zheqian City to discuss it.

    Lin Xingcan has a very good relationship with Dou Gui, and since he is a member of the Dou family, he will not object.

    So the three armies rushed forward.  When Dou Gui arrived at Niujiaogou, it was already half past midnight, and it was only half an hour before dawn.

    Although Dou Gui was eager to perform his duties, the soldiers under his command were not incorrigible. Traveling all night was really tiring.  By this time, everyone was already exhausted and could no longer fight.

    Many generals came to see Dou Gui and asked for a rest before marching, but Dou Gui refused.

    These generals who came to remonstrate with him even gave Dou Gui a beating, and the two leaders were even beheaded by Dou Gui in public display.

    The cruelty of Dou Gui is simply inhuman.  Historically, when he failed to conquer Jihu, he killed fourteen generals in a row.  While serving in Sichuan, there were 20 chariot and hussar generals who followed him to Sichuan. By the time Dou Gui left Sichuan, all of them had been killed by Dou Gui.  During the Wude period, the chariot and hussar generals, already considered middle and high-level generals, killed more than twenty people in a row, and even Li Yuan couldn't help but get angry.

    At this time, everyone was dealt with, and no one dared to ask for rest.

    So everyone continued to move forward. The soldiers in the army were full of complaints and panic.

    Dou Gui's troops arrived at Niujiaogou, not far from Zhecheng City.  Seeing that the enemy was in sight, Dou Gui ordered the three armies to speed up their actions.

    Xue Rengao, who was ambushing in Niujiaogou, did not expect that the Tang army would pursue him so quickly. He was a little surprised when the Sui army arrived.

    But this does not affect his murderous intention.

    Facing the Tang army at the foot of the mountain, the bloodthirsty Xue Rengao showed a ferocious face. He slowly drew out the horizontal knife from his waist and pointed it at the Tang army at the foot of the mountain.

    The Western Qin army ambushing in Niujiaogou was composed of cavalry. They were commanding and powerful.

    The West Qin Army launched an attack, and the sound of horse hooves reverberated throughout the valley.  The Tang army at the foot of the mountain also heard this dull and powerful voice, and for a moment they didn't know what was going on.

    Dou Gui was still suspicious, but he suddenly remembered something and looked surprised.  Si minus Si

    At this moment, the mountain to the north was ablaze, and the shouts of killing were loud.

    Dou Gui looked at the cavalry rushing down the mountain in horror, his eyes flashing with fear and shock.  Mi He Mi

    "Form up a formation! Meet the enemy!"

    Dou Gui screamed loudly with all his strength, but it seemed to be of no use.  The Tang army, which had long been exhausted, had long become a weakling, and it was difficult to face any enemy.

    Everyone looked at the cavalry charging towards them in horror, their eyes filled with the bright light of swords
