Chapter 878

Yunggassuvin ran away, and ran very decisively.

Although he was only in his twenties, he had become an adult from the eastern part of Goguryeo, and it was not just his father who was big on Lu.

Li Shimin raised an army at the age of sixteen, and became a general of Tiance at the age of twenty, and became emperor at the palace at the age of thirty. Therefore, age actually has nothing to do with ability.

Ability is related to experience.

Yuan Gaisuwen also started fighting in his teenage years. Although the scale of the war was not as large as that of Li Shimin, he fought many wars.

He had never fought a battle like today, and he was reluctant to lose. But at the same time, the result of this too reversal war also made Yuan Gaisuwen feel a strong crisis.

Withdrew from the east bank of the Ru River to the city of Pingzhou, although the 20,000 cavalry finally ran out only about 16,000, losing 20,000 people. However, he still had more than 30,000 people at this time. Even if the 20,000 people under the city of Pingzhou was still losing some of the city, he still had 33,400 people in total, and he still had nearly 10,000 people elsewhere.

In short, his troops are actually above Li Chao.

At the city of Pingzhou, he fought another battle with the chasing Tang army, and maybe he would have a greater chance of winning. But Yuan Gai Suwen did not stay, and he directly took the Goguryeo soldiers under the city of Pingzhou.

"Don't worry about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. When fighting, the most important thing is the overall situation." This is what Yuan Gaisuwen said to his generals.

Goguryeo cooperated with the Turks to attack the Tang Dynasty this time. Originally, they thought that they would use the power of the Turks to strangle the Tang Dynasty and then prevent the Tang Dynasty from advancing to Liaodong in the future to avenge the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Liao. By the way, they could also occupy Hebei or something, and at least swallow Western Liaoning into their stomachs.

However, after entering the Tang Dynasty, he fought many times and failed to win a single pass. The Tang people's determination to resist was beyond imagination.

If it were the case, he would not have retreated so easily.

It was really the battle today that shocked him.

Li Chao's courage, strategy, the morale, bloodiness of the Tang army, and the strange firearm.

The 20,000 elite Goguryeo cavalry could not defeat a Tang army with more than half of the new recruits. This made him realize that the Tang Dynasty was not the Sui Dynasty in the past. Although the Tang and Sui Dynasty were both Han dynasties, these soldiers had completely different fighting spirits and fighting spirits.

On the land of the Tang people, they were invaders, they were attackers, not city defenders.

Especially when the commanders opposite him were Li Chao, Yuan Gaisuwen had already felt like retreating.

This time they attacked not to fight for a city and a pool, but to believe the Turks, thinking that Tang was very weak and wanted to destroy Tang together. But now it seems that Tang is not weak at all, nor is it cowardly. On the contrary, they are more bloody than Sui.

The defenders and people in Pingzhou City who fought to the death, Li Chao's amazing military formation and fighting spirit by the Rushui River, as well as those terrifying firearms.

Everything shows that the information they have mastered in the past is inaccurate.

They couldn't even capture a city, so they could not conquer Hebei or even destroy the Tang Dynasty.

The Turks said it nicely, but until now, they have never seen them capture Hetao or Daibei, let alone attacking Taiyuan and heading south to Luoyang.

Yuan Gaisuwen understood clearly, they were deceived by the Turks.

"We may have made a huge mistake, and we angered a napping tiger."

Since the judgment was wrong at the beginning, it was meaningless to get entangled in a city and a pool here. Moreover, Yuan Gai Suwen did not want to fight with the Tang army anymore. In the battle of Ruhe, he lost 4,000 people and attacked Pingzhou City, losing 2,000 people.

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses attacked Tang territory for one and a half months, losing 6,000 people, more than 10%, but they still gained nothing.

Could it be that he would lead the remaining more than 40,000 people to continue to stay on the land of the Tang people and fight another battle with the Tang army?

Maybe you can win, but so what if you win, the Tang army can draw more troops.

If he loses, although he feels it is impossible to lose. But facing Li Chao, he dare not say that he will never lose, and Ruhe should not lose, but he still lost.

Li Chao is a dangerous guy, unfathomable. Yuan Gai Suwen doesn't want to fight him at all. Now he just wants to leave early. The farther away from this dangerous guy, the better.

West of Lulong City, Pingzhou.

Yuchi Gongla stopped his horse, and the three thousand cavalrymen behind him also stopped.

"Father, we just watched the Goguryeo leave?"

Yuchi Gong turned his head and glared at his son.

Yuchi Baolin honestly changed her name, "Grandmaster."

"The Prime Minister's military order is like this, do you want to disobey?"

Of course, Yuchi Baolin did not dare to disobey Li Chao's military orders. He was just a little surprised. Why did the Prime Minister ask them to come over, but he explained that they should always keep a distance from the Goguryeo army, and then he told them not to chase after chasing him to Lulong City, Pingzhou.

Even Li Xiang had already confirmed that after Yuan Gaisuwen arrived at Lu Long, he would immediately join the Goguryeo army under the city to retreat east instead of joining forces to fight back.

Everything develops as the teacher expected.

"Why did Quangasuwen run? We only have three thousand riders, but they have more than 30,000 riders."

Yuchi Gong looked at the Goguryeo who was retreating eastward in a complicated mood. He didn't want to let the Goguryeo go, but in fact, the Goguryeo people were leaving, and he had no choice. He only had three thousand, but there were more than 30,000 riders from Goguryeo.

With a sigh, he said, "Although we have three thousand cavalry, Quan Gai Suwen is not stupid. He knew that behind him was Li Xiang. The defeat of Ruhe, the defeat of the Goguryeo people was inexplicably defeated. They would definitely not dare to fight Li Xiang again."

Yuchi Baolin felt a little confused.

There are many things that I can't figure out. For example, before the Battle of Ruhe, Goguryeo was obviously stronger, but the teacher insisted on starting the war on his own initiative, but he really won. After the battle, the teacher refused to chase him. But after cleaning the battlefield, the teacher quickly led his troops to Pingzhou, and asked him and his father to lead the cavalry first, which not only allowed them to chase the Goguryeo people, but also kept a distance, and also asked them to stop in Pingzhou.

But along the way, the Goguryeo people never turned back at the Tang cavalry hanging behind them. They even retreated directly when they arrived at the city of Pingzhou.

Why don’t the teacher and this Quan Gai Suwen do things without following common sense?

"What's wrong with this? You think about things and only think about the surface. But your teacher is considering things, but he is considering the overall situation. It's of course different from starting from the moment and starting from the overall situation. Although Quan Gai Suwen was young, he didn't expect that he was also awesome. It was right for him not to fight with us, because even if he turned around and won, it would have no meaning to the overall situation."

The gate of Longlu City in Pingzhou, which had been closed for a month and a half, finally opened again.

Among the remaining hundreds of soldiers, the group of brigade coaches with the highest military ranks were voluntarily and slowly pushed open the city gate.

Put down the suspension bridge.

They walked in front, behind them were the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Standing in front of a messy city gate, they seemed to be a different world.

The Goguryeo people finally left, and they were rescued by the court when they were about to break the city for a month and a half.

Yuchi Gong came over to take a horse.

Looking at the big banner with the words Yuchi and the generals like black towers, these survivors in Lulong City knew that it was Yuchi Gong, the Great Governor of the Right Army, who arrived in person.

No one complained about coming late, they were just grateful that they finally arrived.

"Thank you, the Governor, for coming to help!"

A group of survivors knelt down toward Yuchi Gong.

Yuchi Gong quickly jumped off his horse and reached out to help him.

"Get up quickly, it is not me, Yuchi Gong, who saved you. I, Yuchi Gong, could not help you for a month and a half. I am ashamed, the one who saved you is the Shangshu Ling, the Taiwei, the subordinate of the Secretariat Pingzhangshi, and the Duke of Zhao, the Duke of Yanyun Jiedu, Li Wenyuan, the prime minister of the country."

Those survivors were extremely surprised.

They had no idea why the Goguryeo people suddenly withdrew, nor did they know how reinforcements came at this time.

"Is Li Xiangguo here?"

"It was Li Linggong who came to rescue the siege."

A large group of people arrived in the distance, and Li Chao came.

Li Chao's flag was very conspicuous. The soldiers and civilians of Lulong City finally believed that Li Xiangguo had really come in person.

At this time, many soldiers began to tell the soldiers and civilians of Lulong City how they defeated the Goguryeo cavalry in Ruhe, how they defeated the cavalry with their arms, and how they killed 4,000 Goguryeo cavalry in one battle. And they also defeated the enemy with 15,000 soldiers and 20,000 volunteer soldiers.

At this time, the military and civilians of Lulong City also proudly told these brothers who came to help, how they had been holding on for the past month and a half, and their bloody battles and their determination.

When it comes to excitement, everyone sighed.

When Li Chao arrived, the soldiers and the people cheered together.

They won, repelled the Goguryeo people, and guarded the Lulong City.

"Please enter the city."

Li Chao stood outside the city and shook his head.

"I won't enter the city today, and the Goguryeo people have not been driven out yet. I sent an order to gather the entire army and go east!"

Yuchi Gong was stunned at first, then laughed and closed his hands.

"I will get the order!" Then he strides away.

The sound of the trumpet sounded, and the military order was given.

The soldiers gathered again and then pursued the east.

On the east side road.

"Report!"

"Report to Lord, Tangren is chasing him."

Yuan Gaisuvin gritted his teeth.

"Sir, this Li Chao is so ignorant of his life. Let's turn around and destroy them."

"That's right, Li Chao is only more than 30,000 people, and we have more than 30,000 people now. We are still cavalrymen. Most of them are infantry and most of them are new recruits. Let's fight back, avenge the revenge of Rushui, capture Li Chao alive, and conquer Pingzhou!"

A group of generals all became angry.

Originally, he lost the battle of Ruhe, but when he arrived in Pingzhou, Yuan Gai Suwen directly ordered a retreat. They all left with their tails, but the Tang people dared to chase after him.

"Shut up!"

Yuan Gaisuwen shouted loudly.

All day long, I only know how to shout and fight and kill, and I have courage but no strategy.

"Send orders, speed up the march."

"Sir, we still bring many captive prisoners and many other spoils such as gold and silver, and we can't walk fast."
