　297 Li Jiancheng came to help, the decisive battle between the two armies

　[Seek to collect and subscribe! 】

　At this time, in the east of Huayin City in the west, there is a place called Baiwang Valley.

　The [-] Sui troops led by Xu Chu and Gan Ning were fighting with the [-] Tang troops who had withdrawn all the way from Tongguan.

　This is the only way for Tang Jun to pass through. Only through here can they return to Chang'an.

　Otherwise, from here to the north is Guangtong Canal, and to the south is Huashan.

　Xu Chu and Gan Ning set up camp here to guard the passage.

　After Liu Hongji and Li Er led [-] Tang troops to arrive here, they were blocked by them and could not advance westward.

　Immediately afterwards, Li Er immediately led the Tang army to launch a fierce attack on the [-] Sui troops of Xu Chu and Gan Ning, opening up the passage at all costs.

　As for Xu Chu and Gan Ning, they also tried their best to stop them, and they would never let a Tang army soldier pass by.

　They firmly believed that as long as they persisted for more than half a day, Xu Feng would lead the main force of the Sui army to attack from the rear.

　At that time, Tang Jun, who was under the enemy's back and forth, would only be defeated.

　Now, it is the last moment of both sides' desperate efforts.

　"Kill!"

　The Tang army all over the mountains rushed towards the peaks on both sides of the valley.

　On the mountain peak, [-] Sui infantry led by Gan Ning occupied the peaks on both sides, guarding the entire valley, and the Tang army did not dare to pass easily.

　The first batch of Tang army soldiers who entered before were buried in the valley by the huge rocks pushed down by the Sui army on the mountain.

　Now, the soldiers of the Tang army behind, when they had not dealt with the Sui army on the peaks on both sides, they refused to enter the valley easily.

　Moreover, Li Er and the others also knew that the Sui army had thunderbolts that would explode.

　If the thing was thrown into the valley from the peaks on both sides, the soldiers of the Tang army who entered the valley would suffer heavy casualties.

　In this way, the two sides fought desperately around the mountains on both sides.

　Don't look at the infantry of the Sui Army on Gan Ning's side, there are only 1 soldiers, but they have the right time and place, and their morale is high.

　On the other hand, the Tang army retreated from Tongguan in embarrassment, and their morale was already low. Now it is extremely difficult to attack such a mountain, and the soldiers are getting more and more war-weary.

　Fortunately, Tang Jun still has a few days of dry food here, otherwise, Tang Jun would be hungry at this time.

　If that's the case, the [-] soldiers of the Tang army are probably scattered like birds and beasts.

　"Rush! Rush!"

　After the battle began, Liu Hongji sent the soldiers of the Tang Army up desperately.

　It's a pity that under such a dangerous mountain situation, having more soldiers is not necessarily a good thing.

　Gan Ning's [-] Sui army infantry clung to the sides of the mountain. The Tang army attacked for half a day, but failed to capture the troops.

　The Tang army paid a heavy price, and also caused a lot of damage to the defending Sui army.

　If Tang Jun continued to use human lives to fill it up like this, another half a day would be enough to kill 1 people like Gan Ning.

　Rumble!

　But at this moment, Xu Chu, who had been hiding and hadn't shown up, led eight thousand Sui cavalry and suddenly rushed out from the flank.

　Xu Chu led the cavalry of the Sui army to attack too suddenly, cutting off the attacking Tang army, and then the Tang army was defeated.

　In fact, Xu Chu had been leading the army and hiding not far away, but he didn't do anything for a long time.

　Instead, let the Tang army and Gan Ning fight fiercely for half a day, attacking when the Tang army was the most lax and the Sui army was the most critical.

　This time, Tang Jun was completely fooled.

　When the soldiers of the Tang Army who were originally dispirited and didn't want to fight anymore, when they retreated, many of them chose to escape quietly.

　The mountains and fields are so big, and there are so many Tang soldiers, Liu Hongji and Li Er couldn't stop those fleeing soldiers.

　"Hey, lost, no chance."

　Xu Maogong looked at the Tang soldiers who had been defeated by Xu Chu's sudden attack, sighed, and said in a low voice.

　"Shubao, bite the gold, and prepare to take His Highness away."

　Xu Maogong told Xu Maogong and Cheng Yaojin on the side, he had a premonition that the worse situation was yet to come.

　Most of the [-] Tang troops could not be kept, but nothing happened to Li Er.

　"it is good."

　Qin Qiong's face was solemn, he understood the meaning of Xu Maogong's words, and nodded in response.

　After night fell, the Tang army was forced to camp, and Liu Hongji did not organize the Tang army to attack again.

　It wasn't that Liu Hongji didn't want to organize, but that the soldiers of the Tang army didn't want to fight at all, and they couldn't organize themselves.

　Since the Tang army didn't have much food in hand, the Tang army's food dropped sharply at night, which made the soldiers of the Tang army even more dissatisfied.

　After dark, groups of soldiers of the Tang Army continued to leave the barracks in groups.

　Li Er and Liu Hongji knew it well, but they couldn't stop it, and even let it go freely.

　At this time, if they organize people to organize these deserters, if one fails, it will easily cause a mutiny.

　"General Qin, General Cheng, after dawn, you lead a team to protect King Qin and King Zhao and leave.

　Go south, take the trail on the Huashan side, and return to Chang'an. "

　At night, Liu Hongji found Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin and said to them.

　"What about you, General?"

　"Me? I can't go.

　I am the commander-in-chief of the army. If I leave, how can I be worthy of these brothers who have been through life and death with me. "

　Liu Hongji smiled wryly.

　"This general will stay and lead the army to fight to the death, even if I die, I will die with my brothers.

　But we can die, but His Royal Highnesses King Qin and King Zhao cannot. You must protect them and return to Chang'an safely.

　Otherwise, if something happens to the two Highnesses, how can I be worthy of Your Majesty. "

　"Yes, General, take orders from a humble position."

　When this situation came to pass, Qin Qiong was no longer pretentious, and responded immediately.

　As the sky lightened slightly, some soldiers of the Tang army came back in a hurry and reported to Liu Hongji that a large number of Sui troops were chasing them in the direction of Tongguan.

　"Sure enough, they are still chasing after him. It's almost the same as what the general thought. Duan Zhixuan and General Yuchi couldn't hold out for two days at all."

　"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, immediately take the two Highnesses, the military adviser and others and withdraw.

　Otherwise, if the Sui army arrives later, they will not be able to leave. "

　Liu Hongji looked at Qin Qiong and the others and said.

　"it is good."

　"My king won't leave."

　In the end, Li Er didn't want to leave yet, he felt ashamed that he would go to Chang'an to see Li Yuan, and would rather die here in battle.

　"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about no firewood. Your Highness, let's go."

　In the end, the persuasion by Liu Hongji and others was ineffective, and Qin Qiong directly knocked Li Er unconscious and took him away forcibly.

　Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and his party led thousands of Tang soldiers' elite cavalry, and before the Sui army came from behind, they took Li Er, Xu Maogong, Li Yuanba and others, and retreated south along the Huashan trail.

　They need to go around in a big circle before they can return to Chang'an.

　When Li Er and others left, Liu Hongji felt relieved.

　"Assemble the troops and fight to the death with the Sui army!"

　Liu Hongji roared, knowing that they would not be able to escape this time, so they could only fight to the death with the Sui army.

　"Haha, Xu Chu and Gan Ning did a good job."

　When Xu Feng led more than 1 Sui cavalry and chased here first.

　Xu Feng looked at Tang Jun who was stuck here, and smiled with satisfaction.

　Rumble!

　Ten thousand Sui cavalry wandered around the periphery, and did not immediately attack the Tang army.

　Xu Feng was waiting for more Sui troops to arrive later, and prepared to eat the nearly [-] Tang army's main force in one go.

　By this time, the [-] Tang troops were completely besieged by the Sui army.

　Taking advantage of this time, Liu Hongji quickly assembled the Tang army and distributed all the last food in his hands.

　This will be their last battle!

　At this time, the Tang army in Liu Hongji's hands, excluding those who were killed and injured in the battle yesterday, and a large number of those who fled, was already less than 10, or about 8.

　You know, the troops led by Liu Hongji and Li Er, together with the original garrison at Tongguan, had a total strength of nearly 20 troops.

　Moreover, the two troops led by Liu Hongji and Li Er contained most of the Tang army's elite.

　Otherwise, in the desperate situation where the Tang army is almost certain to be defeated at this time, although a large number of Tang army soldiers escaped last night.

　But now, the Tang army still has not collapsed, and there are still 8 horses left, willing to fight with Liu Hongji to the death with the Sui army.

　At this time, if it was not Liu Hongji's Tang army that was besieged, but Li Jiancheng's [-] Tang army on the north side of the Wei River, it would have collapsed and fled long ago.

　The 2 Tang troops on Li Jiancheng's side in the north, except for the [-] horses of Li Jiancheng's direct line, the rest are basically motley crews.

　Many of them were cobbled together by Li Yuan from other places. How could Li Tang pull out so many elites in just two years.

　Therefore, if the elite Tang army in Liu Hongji's hands at this time were wiped out by the Sui army.

　Basically, it is very difficult for Li Tang to have a chance to come back.

　Unless Yang Guang died suddenly.

　Li Er was protected by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. When he retreated south, Li Er rode on the horse and thought about it more and more.

　The people in Liu Hongji's hands must be rescued.

　If part of the Tang army in Liu Hongji's hands could be rescued, even if there were only 4 or [-] people, Li Tang would still have a chance to fight the Sui army again.

　"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, stop."

　Immediately, Li Er shouted loudly.

　"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

　"Detour, go back, and go to the north to find the prince for help."

　In the end, Li Er could only choose to deal with it and asked Li Jiancheng for help.

　At this time, the [-] Tang troops led by Li Jiancheng were on the south bank of the Wei River, less than half a day's journey away from Huayin.

　A day is enough for pawns to come.

　Now, the Tang army in Li Jiancheng's hands is Li Er's only hope.

　"As ordered, Your Highness."

　Qin Qiong took the order and immediately changed his route, bypassing the area where Liu Hongji was besieged by the Sui army in the north, and went to the Weishui side in the north to find Li Jiancheng.

　In fact, at this time, Li Jiancheng had already led one hundred thousand Tang troops to evacuate from the south bank of the Weishui River.

　Huayin has fallen, Yongfeng warehouse has been burned, and they have lost even the target of guarding, so why are they still here.

　Originally, Li Jiancheng planned to lead the army back to Chang'an, but was stopped by Li Jing.

　Li Jing told Li Jiancheng that he must lead the army to the south to rescue Liu Hongji's men, and predicted that the main force of the Tang army at Tongguan would be surrounded by the Sui army.

　If he doesn't go to the rescue, none of Tang Jun in Tongguan can return to Chang'an.

　At that time, even if he led the army back to Chang'an, so what.

　Without Liu Hongji's 10,000+ Tang army's main force, with the 10 horses in his hand alone, can he defend Chang'an City under the iron heel of the Sui army?
