"General, look!" A Daxing soldier pointed to the other side of the Yellow River and shouted. On the other side of the river, the last group of Tang troops had just arrived ashore.

"One step late!"

Li Jing's face was gloomy. Li Yuan divided his troops several times along the way and the heavy snow covered the traces of the Tang army, causing great trouble for pursuit.

The heavy snow not only covered up a large number of traces of the Tang army, but also accompanied by huge cold. A thick layer of ice formed on the surface of the huge Yellow River.

When Li Jing got rid of the suspicious soldiers set up by Li Yuan and caught up, Li Yuan abandoned all the heavy objects and brought a thousand soldiers to cross the Yellow River lightly.

"General! Li Yuan has drilled through the ice layer of the Yellow River, and our army can no longer pursue it." Liang Ji returned to investigate.

In order to prevent Daxing Army from crossing the river and pursuing it, Li Yuan ordered people to break through the ice layer of the Yellow River. The cold river water became the strongest line of defense. When Daxing Army found the ship to cross the river, they had already disappeared without a trace.

" Withdrawal, Li Yuan has crossed the river. Our mission has been completed. The rest has been handed over to General Qu." Li Jing faced the Yellow River. He watched the broken ice drifting with the flow, constantly rising and falling. He shouted coldly.

Li Yuan was indeed very cunning. He even forced his troops to retreat despite the cold and snow. The Tang army buried by heavy snow was definitely more than Li Yuan brought to the opposite side of the Yellow River. However, the heavy snow also brought Li Yuan a glimmer of life, allowing Li Yuan to escape to the other side of the Yellow River smoothly.

"Let's go!" Li Jing shouted.

Suddenly all the soldiers turned around and left and returned to the camp.

On the east bank of the Yellow River, Li Yuan watched the black torrent retreat opposite, and the big rock in his heart finally dropped.

"Li Jing!" Li Yuan secretly hated him.

It was this traitor who not only wanted to report him. Now he was chasing him like a dog that was struggling, forcing him to break his tail several times, but he could catch up with him every time.

When Li Yuan retreated from Hancheng, he brought four thousand soldiers and horses, but now there are only one thousand remaining soldiers. Looking at the remaining soldiers covered with frostbite, a sense of sadness rose from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking back to the beginning, Li Yuan raised his troops from Taiyuan with great enthusiasm and rushed south.

I don’t know if the little prince of Daxing City is too timid or value him too much, so he actually sent Qu Tutong, the highest general of Daxing City to the front line. He also ordered Qu Tutong to continue to defend.

From Huoyi to Jiangcheng, Qu Tutong was like a turtle with his head, but he didn't go to fight, forcing Li Yuan to risk crossing the river and entering the pass.

As a result, Li Yuan, who had entered the pass with 30,000 troops, has now fled back in a panic with a thousand remaining soldiers.

"Lord. The river ice of ten miles has been cut through, and the Daxing Army will not be able to cross the Yellow River in a short time." Zhang Lun appeared in front of Li Yuan in a wounded manner.

As a forward, it is a miracle that he can return to this day alive.

Li Yuan nodded and felt relieved.

After confirming the completeness, Li Yuan did not stop and ordered the march to continue. After a day of trekking, Li Yuan finally met with Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, who crossed the river in advance, in Wenchang, Wencheng County. This was one of the retreat reserved by Li Yuan.

Li Shimin's right-road army was well preserved. Li Shimin led the three thousand elite troops and horses to cross the river early under the cover of Li Yuan and responded in Wencheng in advance.

"Meet my father!" Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin came forward to pay homage.

"What's the situation now?" Li Yuan asked the first sentence.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's faces darkened, and they couldn't help but lower their heads.

"Tell me, I'm mentally prepared for my father." Li Yuan said in his heart.

"General Liu was ambushed by Qu Tutong and Sang Xianhe, and the cavalry was wiped out. The 20,000 troops were only five thousand left. Now he has retreated to Huoyi." Li Shimin said bitterly.

Li Yuan felt ache in his heart. His 30,000 army, Zhang Lun led a 15,000 army, and Liu Wenjing's 20,000 army, these were Li Yuan's most elite forces.

A month ago, Li Yuan still had a 65,000 army, but in a blink of an eye, there were only less than 10,000 left. The huge gap seemed to have fallen to the bottom.

"Where is Taiyuan?" Li Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Taiyuan..." Li Shimin couldn't say it out loud.

"Say!" Li Yuan shouted.

Li Jiancheng said sadly: "Father, my third brother has led his troops to retreat to Xihe, and Taiyuan is falling."

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had a good relationship, but it was not said that Li Yuanji was afraid of Liu Wu and Zhou Bingfeng, and led the Li family's family to abandon the city and fled.

"Puff!" Li Yuan was so angry that he was shocked and squirted out a mouthful of blood, and immediately fell into a coma.

Li Yuan woke up and found that he was already lying on the soft couch.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were standing on the side. When they saw Li Yuan waking up, they immediately shouted in surprise: "Father!"

Li Yuan struggled and couldn't help but feel dizzy again.

"Father!" Li Jiancheng stepped forward and helped Li Yuan up.

Li Yuan ignored his physical weakness and immediately said: "Hurry, send someone to ask for help from the Turks and Li Mi."

"Father, Liu Wuzhou was betrayal and violated the Turkic intentions. We went to ask for help. The Turkic would help us, but why was Li Mi willing to help us?" Li Shimin said in confusion.

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "Now Daxing City has grown into a giant. If we are defeated and no one will restrain Daxing City, Luoyang will receive support from Daxing City with endless money, food and horses. Li Mi will face the situation of the two capitals uniting. As long as Li Mi is not a fool, he will definitely help us."

"My father is wise!"

Li Shimin admired Li Yuan's analysis.

"The most urgent task now is to take back Taiyuan!" Li Yuan said hatefully.

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng a few times. He was weak in bed now, and the task of regaining Taiyuan was about to fall on them.

Finally, Li Yuan's eyes fell on Li Shimin. When he was fighting against the Daxing Army, Li Shimin led the Xuanjia Army to seize the commander and showed his superb talent. Although he failed in the end, it would not damage Li Shimin's light.

Even when Yang You later asked when he was Li Shimin when he was in charge of the Xuanjia Army, he regretted not leaving Li Shimin.

"Shimin, you will immediately lead the right army back to Xihe. For your father's association, Yuan Ji will hand over the military power to you. Be sure to take back Taiyuan!" Li Yuan said solemnly.

"Yes!" Li Shimin responded decisively.

"Created, you will immediately bring the troops from Wencheng to support Huoyi. Make sure that Huoyi is not lost."

"Yes!" Li Jiancheng responded.

After Li Yuan finished the explanation, he lay down in exhaustion.

Luoyang.

In the Luoyang Palace, all civil and military officials looked at the good news in their hands and became silent.

Daxing City won, and it was a great victory.

Kill 10,000 enemies and captured 20,000 people. Li Yuan took the risk of escaping. This was the first victory in the Sui Dynasty in the past three years.

It should have been happy that such a great victory was, but no one among the officials in Luoyang could be happy because this great victory was not achieved by Luoyang.

Daxing City is Xijing and Luoyang is Dongdu.

In terms of status, Luoyang is higher than Daxing City, but in fact, Luoyang City is now retreating step by step. Even if Yang Guang sent a large number of reinforcements, it would not relieve the dilemma at all.

On the other hand, Daxing City was stable and prosperous inside, and defeated Liang Shidu to the outside world, quelled Xue Ju's rebellion in advance, and now defeated Li Yuan again.

In comparison, Luoyang was completely defeated, and the stronger Daxing City became, the more prominent Luoyang's failure.

"Then the order Wang Shichong to continue attacking Li Mi. Since Daxing City can defeat Li Yuan, I, Luoyang, can defeat Li Mi." Yang Tong shouted coldly. How could Yang Tong, who was defeated by his young brother, be so arrogant and arrogant.

"Yes!" Zhao Changwen, the assistant minister of the Huangmen, responded.

The officials of Luoyang looked at Yang Tong's gloomy face and closed their mouths tactfully. They were also unhappy that Daxing overwhelmed Luoyang.

At the same time, they were also dissatisfied with Wang Shichong. After Wang Shichong was sent to Luoyang by Yang Guang, he took charge of Luoyang's troops.

Because he was far away from Jiangdu, he lost Yang Guang's shock. Wang Shichong asked for money and food, and became more and more domineering. What's even more hateful is that Wang Shichong still took money and did not do anything, and he delayed the battle against Li Mi and refused to fight to the death.

This time, Yang Tong ordered Wang Shichong to fight to the death, which was in line with the wishes of all the officials in the court.

Luokou.

Li Mi sat high in the main seat and felt comfortable. Since setting up the Hongmen Banquet and killed Zhai Rang, all the power of Wagang belonged to Li Mi.

This feeling of being powerful in one is really great. More importantly, he can finally have a stable sleep and no longer have to be on guard against Zhai Rang.

"Everyone, Li Yuan sent someone to ask for help, let's discuss it!" Li Mi handed the letter in his hand to the generals for circulating. Li Yuan once wrote to Li Mi before the reprimand, and Li Mi was once the uncle of his clan, which made Li Mi quite happy.

"Li Yuan is ambitious and sends troops privately to seize the rich Guanzhong. Now he is defeated, remembering us?" Zheng Fang snorted coldly.

"Li Yuan is so incompetent that he can't even beat a 14-year-old prince, and he still has the face to ask for help from us." Fang Yanzao sneered.

The whole Wagang knew Li Yuan's ambition to send troops to Guanzhong. Now that Li Yuan was defeated, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Guanzhong, who had endless wealth, was of course much better than falling into the hands of the cunning Li Yuan.

Once Li Yuan got Guanzhong, he would probably gather a large number of troops immediately, and his strength would exceed Wagang within a year, which was something that Wagang didn't want to see.

"Once two breaths, the infinite crossbow formation was launched, and the three thousand iron cavalry were killed before one strike!"

Pei In-ki took the letter and her face changed.

This is too shocking, and there has never been such a battle situation in the world.

"The heavy-armored soldiers holding big swords are invincible, and wherever they go, they are divided into two." Wang Bodang took a deep breath.

Imagine such a bloody scene, Wang Bodang couldn't help but shivered.

"Is this true lord?" Wang Bodang asked in disbelief.

"According to the reports of our secret spies in Daxing City, what Li Yuan said is true." Li said.

In order to show his sincerity to Li Mi, Li Yuan expressed the horror of the Daxing Army one by one.

All the generals of Wagang screamed when they saw these two invincible troops. This was really terrifying. How could there be such a perverted army in the world? The generals secretly wondered how they should deal with such a force.

Both of these troops are all about their respective advantages. The crossbow formation with two breaths and one shot can only wait for his crossbow arrows to be exhausted, or charge without any casualties with heavy shield soldiers. As for the terrifying Modao camp, it can only be filled with human lives, waiting for them to exhaust their physical strength. After a long time, the generals of Wagang discovered that such troops could certainly be able to deal with them if they appeared alone, but it would be impossible to cooperate with the army.
