Take the system to become Uncle Liu

Chapter 302 Retreating to Changli

"How much did our army lose this time?"

Li Xiaogong looked at Huo Qubing who was going away again and frowned. This was the third time that Huo Qubing had led cavalry to attack him. Originally, there were less than 5 people in his army, but now there may not even be 3.

Li Xiaogong didn't tell Li Shimin all this, to be precise, he didn't dare to tell Li Shimin.

Ever since Li Yuanba's tragic death, Li Shimin seemed to have lost his soul. He was in a daze without a trace of energy. If it wasn't for his aura, Li Xiaogong even doubted whether Li Shimin had passed away.

Li Xiaogong did the math, there are still 5 days to go to Changli County, but with the current 3 people, it is impossible to support Changli County.

If it wasn't for reducing losses, Huo Qubing might have launched a charge long ago, and Li Xiaogong deeply understood this truth.

Because at the beginning Huo Qubing just shot arrows from a distance, but just now the handover of soldiers has begun. This enemy is very cunning, and the soldiers behind his own army were brutally killed by Huo Qubing.

Li Xiaogong is sure that within 2 days, Huo Qubing will definitely launch a final charge and completely keep people like himself here.

It's time to make a decision. Li Xiaogong secretly found Li Mi. This matter is related to the life and death of 3 people. He dare not say anything. If there is any accident, the soldiers may mutiny.

"Military division, do we have to do this? This is 3 lives."

Looking at Li Xiaogong with a sad face, Li Mi felt a dull pain in his heart. If there were other ways, Li Mi would definitely not do it.

"General, you don't know the reason why a strong man cuts off his wrists, right now, this is the only way to preserve the strength of our army to the greatest extent, and it can also protect the safety of the king."

Li Xiaogong looked back at the exhausted and terrified faces. Li Xiaogong showed a feeling of intolerance. These are brothers he brought out from Goguryeo. When he thought of throwing them here, Li Xiaogong couldn't tell. uncomfortable.

Li Xiaogong has a deep understanding of the toughness of the people in Youzhou. Soldiers are rarely recruited here. The people in Youzhou even hate Li Shimin and others. It will take at least three years to influence the people in Youzhou.

Therefore, most of the soldiers under Li Shimin's command were brought out from Goguryeo. It is no wonder that Li Xiaogong was so resistant to giving up the army and leading Li Shimin to retreat first. It would be the same for anyone.

Seeing Li Shimin's weak appearance in the carriage, Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

In the middle of the night, Li Xiaogong ordered the army to stay where they were, so that the soldiers could have a good rest. The reinforcements were tens of miles away and could arrive at dawn.

Hearing this news, many soldiers showed bright smiles. They had been waiting for this news for an unknown amount of time. Everyone escaped from the rain of arrows and guns. No one knew that the cavalry that was like a nightmare When will it appear again, everyone can only pray that reinforcements will arrive soon.

Following Li Xiaogong's order, most of the soldiers got into the tents and fell asleep. Their nerves were tense all the time, and they were worried every day. Now they can finally sleep peacefully. No one wants to think about anything else. They just want to sleep. A sense of security.

Seeing the continuous snoring in the camp, Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth, shed tears, and led his guards to leave with a ruthless heart. Li Mi and Li Shimin also left together.

Less than an hour after Li Xiaogong left, Huo Qubing led 3 cavalry to Li Xiaogong's camp again. Hearing the constant snoring, Huo Qubing became suspicious. Under normal circumstances, how could Li Xiaogong's army sleep so soundly? An ambush was set.

In order to determine whether there was an ambush by the enemy, Huo Qubing searched all the places within a radius of 5 miles outside the camp. After confirming that there was no ambush by the enemy, he looked at the camp full of doubts.

Seeing that the sky in the distance had begun to turn white, Huo Qubing didn't bother so much, and let the soldiers pick up torches and rush towards the enemy camp.

The ambush that he had been guarding against did not appear, but the reinforcements that the enemy had been yelling were coming soon made Huo Qubing startled, and sent 5000 soldiers to guard the surrounding area.

But until the last enemy fell to the ground, Huo Qubing still didn't find the enemy's reinforcements. After fighting for so many years, it was the first time that Huo Qubing was confused and didn't know what happened.

After cleaning the battlefield, Huo Qubing couldn't find any trace of Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others, and he found out the ins and outs of the matter only after asking a few people.

After thinking about it carefully, Huo Qubing finally understood the strategy of Li Xiaogong, Li Mi and others to cut off their wrists. Seeing that the sun was already in the lead, Huo Qubing knew that it would be very difficult to find the traces of Li Shimin and others.

"Qubing, you wiped out all the 3 enemy soldiers this time, you did a great job!"

Hearing Liu Bei's praise, Huo Qubing didn't dare to be complacent at all, and hurriedly told the whole story.

Hearing that Li Shimin and the others might be approaching Changli County at this moment, Liu Bei did not show much disappointment. After all, Li Shimin is not as threatening as before. The most important thing now is to eliminate the enemy's vital strength.

"My lord, since Li Shimin has already retreated to Changli County, my subordinates suggest that General Huo Qubing rush to Changli County first, followed by the army, and surround Changli County so that no one can get out."

"The subordinates just have a plan. If it is successful, there will be chaos inside Goguryeo, and the time for our army to destroy Goguryeo will be greatly shortened."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Liang in unison. Seeing the confident look of the other party, the hearts of all the people present were chilled. If Liu Bowen used to predict things like a god, then Zhang Liang is simply a fairy, light and ethereal. A few words can decide the outcome of a war.

Although he wanted to know exactly what Zhang Liang's strategy was, Liu Bei found that he liked the feeling of being invisible, and he preferred to witness the result without knowing it.

After a brief stay, Liu Bei's army began to continue northward, leaving 2000 people to escort the prisoners back to Youbeiping.

Li Xiaogong looked at the three big characters of Changli County and showed a wry smile. No one knew how painful Li Xiaogong was, but it was all worth it if he could send Li Shimin back to Changli County safe and sound, at least Li Mi thought so of.

As soon as he entered the city, Li Xiaogong saw that there were only 3 people in the city, plus Li Shimin whose situation did not improve at all. Li Xiaogong knew for a long time that Changli County was not a place to stay, and had to continue to retreat. Hearing the sound of soldiers and horses outside the city, it turned out that Huo Qubing led the cavalry and arrived again.

Zhang Liang looked at the soldiers who escorted the prisoners back, and hurriedly asked how the battle ahead was going.

"General Zhang, you don't know that General Li Cunxiao is really a god-man. That arrow, like Hou Yi shooting the sun, directly shot Li Shimin off his horse. Li Shimin didn't die on the spot. It's just a few days ago. .”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang was shocked. After asking several soldiers, they all answered in the same way. He wanted to ask the Goguryeo soldiers the truth, but Liu Bei ordered no one to approach these captives. With a desperate and pained look on his face, Zhang Liang gradually believed in the statement that Li Shimin was dead.
