Chapter 353 A large-scale field battle must be
"General! Go quickly!"
When all his thoughts were gone, under Li Xi's tent, there were several confidant school members leading several soldiers to rush up, desperately trying to resist the charge of Wang Chongshi.
However, the shrill curse came to an abrupt end. The crowds of Liang troops could not resist Wang Chongshi and even the elite swords under his command. Their bodies were cut into pieces and fell into a pool of blood, becoming a lifeless corpse.
However, after such a obstacle, Li Xi also bought some time for escape in the last battle. He turned around and left, gathering the remnants of the Liang army that were killed as much as possible. Now he had to run to another city gate as much as possible, trying to break through and escape from the white horse in Huazhou.
At this time, the city was covered with people kneeling on the ground and begging for surrender. Most of these soldiers guarding the city were originally commanded by Zhu Zhen and Li Tangbin, and even elite troops with outstanding combat power in the Liang army. However, one of the generals of Tingfeng died of killing each other and the other was hanged by the lord Zhu Wen. The backbone in the army was gone, which also caused a very serious blow to the morale of the people.
The direct troops affiliated with Zhu Zhen were inevitably resentful of Zhu Wen's actions to kill the founding heroes of the Liang Dynasty, and they were only angry but not afraid to speak out. Li Xi was transferred to take over the army and guard the city. If he could keep the enemy outside the city, these Liang soldiers would have to continue to defend and resist.
However, the enemy suddenly emerged from the city, which was unexpected. He was caught off guard. Now even the chief general Li Xi had to retreat in a mess, forty-five thousand to twenty-hundred thousand. He also knew that there were many elite troops under Li Tianqu’s command, and there was no chance of winning if he continued.
If the Liang army members who were originally under Zhu Zhen's command were still alive, they could still hold on, especially because of the atmosphere of the Yajun during the Five Dynasties, they were more inclined to serve their direct superiors than their loyalty to the monarch. However, Zhu Zhen was strangled for a short time, and his resentment towards Zhu Wen was particularly... He had no desire to fight to the death, so a large number of brave and good-for-war Liang soldiers turned against each other at this time, which was natural.
So once Li Tianqu’s army breaks through the city gate, the Liang army troops who still have to resist stubbornly in the street battle are now almost gone.
In this battle, Li Tianqu easily regained the white horse in Huazhou? 350,000 stones of grain and fodder were seized? Along with feather arrows, crossbow arrows, city guards, horses and armors..., all military funds were used for their own forces; there were still more than 20,000 Liang troops surrendering at the battlefield? Waiting for disposal, Li Tianqu also dispatched his troops to escort them to the Taining Army? Recording the name of the name? It is planned to be gradually incorporated in the future.
Liang general Li Xi also fought to the death and ran out of the south gate of Baima City. He was lucky enough to escape with hundreds of remaining soldiers. He was killed and completely dispersed and fled in the night. He then fled to the direction of Xuanwu Army. There were only more than ten thousand people. The remaining soldiers were all annihilated by the armies under Li Tianqu.
The same was done, within a few days, Li Tianqu led his army westward and used his old tricks again. He also took down the Zhengzhou capital, which also had a hidden tunnel to lead to the city. Since then, he has recaptured the center of the two prefectures, and it is even more difficult for the Liang army to defend the remaining counties. Including Baimajin, which is internally controlled and stormed the water and land rushes of Heshuo, Li Tianqu took advantage of the opportunity to send troops to advance. He also had to snatch back one after another.
Zhu Wen's side gathered his army and responded very quickly. However, he did not expect that Li Xi would lose so quickly. In a few days, the Liang army would also go north to the north? Liang's capital Kaifeng? In the Dique Hall, Zhu Wen stared at Li Xi with his armor and his hair disguised, but he just lay on the ground and yelled to apologize. His face was already full of hostility:
"Li Xi, I treat you very well. I have ordered you to be 45,000 soldiers and horses to be detained by the city walls. Never let Li Tianqu take back Yi and become an army... But you only stayed for three or four days and fled. What else can you say?"
"Your Majesty! The last general is in charge of the defense of Huazhou Baima with the order. He really dares not neglect at all! He has also repelled several rounds of offensives, but he did not expect that the enemy would enter the city out of thin air and our army would be caught off guard..."
"Entering the city out of thin air? Why, Li Tianqu's soldiers can still have the ability to fly and escape from the earth!"
"this......"
Zhu Wen asked sternly, which made Li Xi immediately choke. The wind and wind were heard and the plants fled back to Bianzhou. He really didn't have time to think about how the army under Li Tianqu's command sneaked into the city. He could clearly feel that when Zhu Wen stared at him, his eyes were filled with murderous aura. Li Xi was covered in cold sweat, but he had to bow down and shouted again:
"Your Majesty, the last general failed to defend the white horse in Huazhou. This is indeed a crime of war! Even though he knew that the army was defeated and he was detained, the last general still wanted to break through the siege to death, and to report his difficulties to His Majesty..."
"Why, if you lose your army, do you still want me to reward you?"
Zhu Wen sneered in a grim voice, and before Li Xi finished speaking, he immediately glared and shouted:
"Drag it out and chop it!"
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately stepped forward to capture Li Xi, and then pulled him out. Li Xi felt wronged and could only keep shouting, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!" But in the end, he was dragged out of the hall and was stabbed by that head-on, which was somewhat similar to the ending of his history, "It was quite contrary to the rules and no success for a long time. Taizu sent him to chase him back, the court blamed him for his crime, and killed him on the river bridge"...
In the hall, a group of military generals of the Liang Dynasty, saw that Li Xi was pulled out of the hall and beheaded on the spot. After all, some of them were colleagues in the robes and felt the sadness of the rabbit and the fox. However, no one of the generals present dared to plead for Li Xi anymore. After all, the Yicheng Army's vassal capital was really lost too quickly, and Zhu Wen was furious and no one wanted to be implicated by the anger.
Li Tianqu really could have recaptured the Yicheng army and the Zheng two prefectures were still so fast. Fortunately, Li Han, the Zhao Yi army, surrendered, and the Heyang army's vassal states were still in the hands of our army... Otherwise, the connection between me and the Heshuo towns would not have been completely separated?
Zhu Wen's face no longer had the calm and cunning look of conspiracy and tricks. His expression was gloomy and ferocious, and his chest kept rising and falling violently.
Pang Shigu, Guo Yan, Zhu Youning, Li Chongyun, Zhu Zhen, Li Tangbin... Now we have to count this Li Xi... Although some of them were ordered to be killed by themselves, when Zhu Wen was not resentful, I was so angry that I was usurping the Tang and establishing Liang, which shocked the vassals. Li Keyong, the most powerful enemy, was already in decline and was about to dominate the world... But why did I repeatedly lose the good generals after fighting with Li Tianqu?
Since Li Tianqu regained the Yi army, Zhu Wen knew very well that the next step of his military direction would be the Xuanwu Army Bianzhou, which was not far away. The 200,000-scale army would be launched in the central area of Liang State established by him. This would also affect the national destiny of both sides. Who can win a great victory in the confrontation? Even if he cannot destroy the other side in one fell swoop, he will fully grasp the initiative in the war, gradually suppress it, and then annex the enemy's large-scale territory.
There was also Ge Congzhou commanding 30,000 troops to advance to Xiangyi; Zhang Guiba and Yang Xingmi's general Tian Feng joined forces to capture Bozhou, and Li Keyong on Heshuo was bound to retake the Zhaoyi army's vassal state... Zhu Wen was also very clear that this war that was about to start with Li Tianqu would never be able to defend Bianzhou Kaifeng, but let the enemy take the initiative to encroach on the territories of Xuanwu army. Therefore, this battle must also be fought on its own initiative!
After Zhu Wen thought about it, he slowly stood up from the dragon throne, looked around the civil and military officials in the hall, and then said ruthlessly:
"Li Tianqu... I have obviously not underestimated you in the past, but when I took into account other things, I had to let you make a big splash. Now it seems that I still underestimate you... After Li Keyong's Shatuhan, you will become my biggest opponent! Well, today, you will gather a large army and will inevitably fight to the death. Let's see who can laugh to the end!"
