966 Cangzhou Qingchi, regain lost ground

Even though Li Siyuan was still surrounded by his confidant generals, and he was desperate to break through the siege and running towards the north. However, Wang Yanzhang seemed to be tireless and still chased with a big gun. Wang Yanqiu ordered the pursuit fiercely, and the Later Tang tribes were scattered in the wilderness. Seeing a large number of Wei Dynasty cavalry rushing over, they could only abandon their weapons to the ground in order to save their lives, and loudly signaled that they had given up resistance and were willing to accept the treatment of the Wei army...

Logically speaking, although Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yanqiu's Wei army were elite troops, the Ya army led by Li Siyuan was also experienced many battles.

However, there is the Khitan in the north and the Wei Dynasty in the south, and he was in a situation of attacking on both sides and was panicked; the military was at a disadvantage and the resentment in the army was boiling; Wang Yanzhang, who was extremely afraid, was temporarily trapped in a heavy siege, but burst out with a heart-wrenching combat power; and Wang Yanqiu rushed to his army and first used a sharp cavalry to destroy the edge of the formation; because of the deep resentment, the mood of the collapse of the fighting spirit when fighting a fierce battle quickly spread... These factors were added together, which was enough to cause the collapse of the military, which was originally known for its bravery and good combat, to collapse like a mountain...

In this time, the two armies fight, and when the war losses reach 20 to 30%, it is very likely to cause the entire army to be defeated. For an army with deep resentment towards its own forces, it is even more difficult to maintain the fighting spirit of fighting to the end.

With an extremely passive strategic situation, Li Siyuan could only try to attack Wang Yanzhang, the enemy commander along the way as soon as possible. However, no matter how brave he was, he was not the reincarnation of the King of Western Chu. Instead, he allowed Wang Tieqin to make a brilliant battle in his life... And during the fierce battle, the resentment of his troops broke out, and Li Siyuan could not help but swallow the defeat.

Li Siyuan, Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan and other powerful generals tried their best to break through, paving a path with corpses and blood flowing everywhere. Fortunately, An Chonghui, who was running in a mess, ran away while shouting loudly, and the dispersed troops. Although he was so chaotic that he could no longer distinguish the organizational ranks, he had joined five or six thousand people and followed closely behind Li Siyuan.

The road was filled with wind and wind, and then fled for more than ten miles. But even if we barely escaped from the pursuit of the Wei Dynasty's Rui Cavalry, moving forward further was Qingchi City, Cangzhou, the vassal state of Henghai Army... After running away, the monk could not escape from the temple. Even if the defeated army of Later Tang temporarily escaped from the pursuit of the Wei Dynasty's army, the city walls that stood in the local area for a long time would not move, and they would soon be subjected to the enemy's massive attack.

Li Siyuan had just suffered the pain of losing his son, and was furious and felt extremely humiliated and sad. But he also knew very well that if this battle failed, it would take a long time for enemy generals such as Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yanqiu to take advantage of the victory. Just relying on the thousands of soldiers under his command, who had been extremely depressed, retreated into the city. Rather than being on the verge of defending to the death, he would get into the trap and wait for the enemy to surround Qingchi City and sit and wait for death...

"...Qingchi City no longer has to go back. After all, Wang Jian, subjected our military order, allocated a portion of the Ya army to Fanyang County to resist the Khitan army and horses. Now it is necessary to meet as soon as possible... Continue to go north and convene the remaining Ya army to Zhuozhou!"

Li Siyuan finally uttered the order again after enduring the humiliation. At this time, he knew that he had to endure humiliation and did his best to summon the Ya Army, who was fighting with him, to try his best to restore this dangerous situation.

Just continued to evacuate north, which made people think that the Henghai Army's vassal state was handed over to the Wei Dynasty... Such a crime of losing troops, losing troops, and losing territory and trapping the city. Moreover, the defeat on the eastern front also made the situation of the Later Tang army against Gaoyi, Zhaozhou, more passive... So how will his lord Li Cunxu fall?

Li Siyuan still remembers that Li Cunxu, who was eighteen years younger than him and was almost a generation short of his life at this time... At first they got along very closely, and there was no difference between them from their biological brothers.

However, Li Cunxu inherited the throne of his adoptive father and then changed the country's name to Tang Dynasty to claim to be the orthodox Li's family. Until in recent years, he completely believed the actors and eunuchs around him... Li Siyuan also felt that the gap between their monarch and ministers was getting deeper and deeper, but he even became a subject that Li Cunxu suspected...

As the saying goes, a high-ranking minister is in danger, but now it is the time of national crisis and the critical survival. Even if Your Majesty is suspicious, as long as he still has the hope of resuming the decline, he should continue to fight... He will be punished in the future!

Li Siyuan thought sadly and angryly, and then he growled in a deep voice, prompting the war horse to continue to roar towards the north...

Three days later, Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yanqiu led the army and had already started to enter Qingchi City. After inspection and confirming that there were no remaining enemy troops in the city, it was confirmed that Li Siyuan knew that the lonely army was difficult to defend, and he could not sit still and wait for death, so he had to undergo a strategic retreat.

It is worth mentioning that Qingchi, Cangzhou, changed hands again. Although in every war, the people will always be the people who are unlucky... However, in addition to being captured by the Later Tang army to transport various supplies and forcibly plundering food to affect local people's livelihood, the people in Qingchi City live a tight life, but most of them can still stand it.

Until the Wei army soldiers told the people everywhere to appease the people, and the villagers ran around and told the Wei Dynasty to occupy the central location of the Henghai Army. The local people also emerged and began to resume their daily routines. In short, even if the war between the two countries was affected, they had to continue their lives.

After all, Wang Yanzhang followed Li Tianqu to conquer the world since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Yanqiu's family and relatives were even killed by Qin Zongquan's soldiers when he was a child. He also saw the warlords fighting in those days. The people were cut off where Qin Zongquan's army passed, and the people were either killed as military rations or fled early. Sun Ru burned the palace and massacred the residents, resulting in the white bones covering the ground in Luoyang at that time, and the thorns left less than a hundred households left... There are too many examples. In short, for many warlords at that time, they were basically the general idea:

If I can't keep this piece of land, it would be better to kill all the people here. In short, I will never defeat my opponents without any advantage.

However, the Later Tang had to abandon Qingchi City, including the people in Cangzhou. Although it cannot be said that they have not suffered from the war, they have at least changed greatly compared to the tragic killing and attacking in the troubled times. Although Li Siyuan now has a great hatred for the Wei Dynasty, at least he will never be able to do such a thing as massacre of the people.

After all, since one vassal state started to conquer the world, the heroes fought for each other, and those monarchs who had no limit on being human have also disappeared, and it is impossible for them to develop into the size of the two major powers of the Wei Dynasty and the Later Tang Dynasty.

He fought with Li Siyuan and his powerful generals in a heart-warming battle, and led his army to win a great victory... Although Wang Yanzhang realized it later and felt extremely sore all over, he got what he wanted and felt very happy.

After a break and rectify, Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yanqiu naturally had to lead the military to take advantage of the situation to go north and regain the entire territory under the rule of Cangzhou of the Henghai Army. However, the war has not yet been completed, and the court has not dispatched officials to come to take over taxes and civil affairs... and sent troops to arrest the thieves who committed crimes while fighting to maintain order in the city and other related matters. Wang Yanzhang ordered his followers to arrange measures to appease the local people during wartime as usual. While the military under his command was rectifying, he could have been busy for half a day.

However, just in these few days, there was still a storm... He was ordered to patrol Qingchi City and even the military academy in the surrounding Zhenfang Village, and reported urgently that he had found some soldiers plundering the village and had already caused deaths. After the incident, he resisted arrest... Wang Yanzhang was furious after hearing the report, and then asked the military academy in a deep voice:
Chapter completed!
