Chapter 1993: Jia Xu:? ?
【Ding dong, Jia Xu’s skill ‘Poison Master’ has an effect of 5 and is used to plot the world. When targeting other countries and the calculation is successful, it can cause a psychological shadow on the emperor of the empire and permanently reduce the opponent’s intelligence by 1 to 3 points.
Jia Xuti has plotted against Li Shimin several times, and has succeeded every time. This has caused a psychological shadow on Li Shimin, making him fearful and permanently reducing his intelligence by 1 point.
The current five dimensions of Li Shimin: Commander 100 (+2), Force 93 (+5), Intelligence 99 (-1), Politics 103, Charisma 101 (+1)】
In this battle, although Jia Xu did not personally attend the battlefield, he played an irreplaceable role.
If he hadn't left a letter to remind Zhang Liao to fight quickly, Zhang Liao would definitely have fallen into Li Shimin's trap, and a pursuit battle would have turned into an ambush.
Had he not asked Gongsun Yan and Tan Daoji to send troops to delay the march of Li Keyong and Zhao She, Zhang Liao would have faced not only 50,000 infantry, but also 30,000 cavalry.
【Ding dong, Zhang Liao defeated the strong with the weak, defeated Li Shimin, broke through the Longmen Formation, and annihilated 50,000 elite Tang troops. The reward is permanent +1 to the commander and +1 to the charisma;
Zhang Liao's current basic five dimensions: Commander 99 (+2), Force 102 (+5), Intelligence 90 (+2), Politics 70 (+5), Charm 96 (+2); Equipment: Blue Sky Hook Scythe, Green Jin Fei ;]
I have to say that luck played a big part in Zhang Liao's ability to defeat Li Shimin.
If it wasn't for the continued reminder of Jia Yan's bags, if it wasn't for the blessing of the "Five Sons", if it wasn't for Arthur, Zhang Kui, Tai Shici and others, it would be ...
If any of these links goes wrong, Zhang Liao will not face victory, but a disastrous defeat.
Zhang Liao's victory was actually a bit lucky. Although Li Tang's 50,000 elite infantry were finally wiped out, it was at the cost of 6,000 cavalry and 1,000 women's troops. To a certain extent, it was equivalent to a tragic victory.
In other words, it is still a bit reluctant to let Zhang Liao be Li Shimin's opponent.
After counting the casualties, Zhang Liao ordered Mu Guiying to lead the Women's Army and the Flying Tiger Army, and take 20,000 prisoners to Luoyang. Zhang He also led an army of 4,000 to pursue those Tang soldiers who had escaped, while he and Xu Huang led the Twenty thousand cavalry continued to pursue Li Shimin westward.
The reason why Zhang Liao continued to pursue was because he knew that Xiao Yan alone would not be able to deal with Li Shimin. After all, except for the masters around Li Shimin, the hidden 10,000 elite cavalry could not be solved by the 10,000 main cavalry.
Zhang Liao only hoped that Xiao Yan could hold back these 10,000 fine cavalry. After his 20,000 cavalry arrived, he could devour these 10,000 fine cavalry in one fell swoop.
On the other side, Li Shimin arrived at the hidden garrison of 10,000 fine cavalry shortly after escaping, and then retreated westward with 10,000 fine cavalry, only to find that Zhang Liao had sent Xiao Yan, Arthur, Zhang Kui and other generals to pursue him. .
Finding that Arthur was among the pursuing Qin generals, Li Shimin suddenly lost his composure.
His father Li Yuan was caught up by Arthur and died tragically under her sword when he was withdrawing his troops from Nanyang. Now Zhang Liao sent Arthur to chase him, which was obviously an insult to him.
Li Shimin immediately said angrily: "Zhang Liao, a common man, has insulted me too much. I want to go back and fight to the death with this group of Qin troops."
Li Tang's generals were shocked when they heard this, and they all tried to persuade Li Shimin to change his mind.
Li Shimin was just a little angry, and didn't really want to fight with the Qin army. After everyone's persuasion, he naturally raised it high along the steps but put it down gently, and never mentioned turning back for the decisive battle. One thing.
In this way, the Qin and Tang armies chased and fled for dozens of miles on the Heluo Plain. It was not until they entered the boundary of Hongnong County that the situation changed.
"Report...to inform my lord, General Li Keyong and General Zhao She are here, and they are less than five miles away from our army."
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with great joy: "It's a good time. Go back to me and fight the Qin army to the death..."
Before the word "war" could be uttered, Li Shimin discovered that the Qin army in the rear had stopped pursuing, and the 10,000 cavalrymen actually ran eastward. Apparently, he had also received news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang army. Li Shimin's face suddenly stiffened, and then he snorted coldly: "You guys can run fast."
With 30,000 cavalry united in one place, the Tang army gained great prestige, which also stirred up the thoughts of some Tang soldiers.
"Lord, our army's 30,000 cavalry did not participate in the battle, and their combat strength has not been lost at all. However, the Qin army has just experienced a big battle, and must be exhausted of men and horses. If they return now, they will definitely defeat Zhang Liao in one fell swoop." Yin Kaishan suggested.
This proposal also brightened the eyes of everyone present, but Li Shimin refused after thinking for a while.
“The Qin army has just experienced a great victory. Even if they are tired, their morale is at its peak. If they fight back at this time, even if they win, it will be a miserable victory.
The Qin army suffered heavy losses. In addition to Zhang Liao's 40,000 cavalry, the Qin army also had Zhao Yun's 30,000 Hetao cavalry. However, our army could not afford to lose. Once these 30,000 cavalry were disabled, it would no longer be possible to fight against Qin. Army. "
As soon as Li Shimin said this, all the Tang army generals fell silent.
The gap in national power between Qin and Tang is too big, and there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger. Thirty thousand cavalry is nothing to the Qin army, but to the Tang army, it is half of the country's total cavalry.
“Withdraw.”
Li Shimin ordered that he retreat from Luoyang in order to prevent Zhao Yun from cutting off his retreat. Continuing to fight Zhang Liao here would be putting the cart before the horse.
In case of delaying time and let Zhao Yun break the retreat, the loss was not just 50,000 elite, but the entire army was overwhelmed.
Following Li Shimin's order, 30,000 Tang cavalry began to retreat westward. Both Li Keyong and Zhao She's trip was in vain.
On the other side, after Zhang Liao Company pursued for half a day, he ordered the pursuit of Xiao Yan and other generals and returned. After asking, he learned that Li Keyong and Zhao She had led the army to join Li Shimin.
Xiao Yan only had 10,000 cavalry in his hands and did not dare to fight with Li Shimin's 30,000 cavalry. After seeking the opinions of other generals, he gave up the pursuit and led the army back.
Zhang Liao did not blame Xiao Yan. He would not have dared to use 10,000 cavalry to go head-to-head with Li Shimin's 30,000 cavalry.
Hearing that Li Shimin did not turn back, but withdrew to the west, Zhang Liao was secretly relieved.
Now that the Qin army has merged, the total number of cavalry has reached 30,000, but after all, they have just experienced a big battle and are already exhausted, so it is not suitable to fight again.
In addition, if Li Shimin was determined to avoid fighting, the Qin army would not be able to do anything to him.
With this thought, Zhang Liao decisively ordered the entire army to withdraw to Luoyang, and wait for the main force of Li Jing and Han Xin to arrive before fighting Li Shimin to the death.
Thirty thousand cavalry came roaring in and roared away again. It can be said that they came and went like the wind.
When Zhang Liao returned to Luoyang City, Jia Xu had already led his ministers to greet him outside the city gate.
As soon as Zhang Liao saw Jia Xu, he immediately dismounted and rushed towards him, grabbing his hand and saying gratefully: "If it hadn't been for the help of the military adviser, Wen Yuan would have almost become the sinner of our Qin army."
??
Jia Xu did intend to remind Zhang Liao to win the battle quickly, but it's not an exaggeration to say that without his reminder, Zhang Liao would become a sinner, right?
