- In the battle at the north port of Xinfeng City, Li Yuan was defeated, with nearly half of his 25,000 troops lost. The Tang army almost risked their lives before crossing Xinfengyuan and escaping into the Loess Platform to the south.
In this battle, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the sun and moon were without light.
The Shenwu Guards, with tens of thousands of troops, almost used strangulation methods to tear the Tang Army's rear troops to pieces. But Tang Jun was like a wounded old wolf, giving out a final blow, burning all his life and energy, and hit the Shenwu Guard hard.
"Both sides will suffer, and both will be destroyed.
In fact, Li Yuan still has strength, not even weaker than the Shenwu Guard. If he were not afraid of being bitten, Li Yuan would even want to turn around and completely cripple the Shenwu Guard.
Of course, Huang Mingliao is not afraid of Li Yuan turning around. Even if the entire Shenwu Guard army is wiped out today, as long as he can hold him back, it will be worthwhile.
"It's a pity that Li Yuan was too calm. Faced with the opportunity to severely damage Shenwuwei, he didn't even turn his eyes and turned around and jumped into the loess plateau despite suffering heavy losses. It was as if the Guanzhong he once owned no longer existed.
Huang Mingliao followed, all the way to the foot of Loess Terrace.
Huang Mingliao was hesitant as to whether to follow him in or not.
After this battle, the Shenwu Guards suffered more than one-third casualties and were considered completely disabled. Although he bit Tang Jun's flesh hard, he could not keep Li Yuan.
Li Yuan can directly enter the Qinling Mountains from the Loess Platform.
Although the five roads leading from Guanzhong to Hanzhong and Jingxiang, including Lanwu, Ziwu, Tangluo, Baoxie and Chencang, are currently in the hands of the Sui army, the Qinling Mountains are so big and the roads have thousands of twists and turns that no one can guarantee that Li Yuan will not be able to reach them. Bashu.
"As for the land of Bashu, the land of abundance, when Li Yuan entered Bashu, it was like the dragon entered the sea and the tiger returned to the mountains.
Huang Mingliao thought for almost a second before deciding to continue chasing.
??Although it is said that from entering the Loess Plateau, it is entering the mountainous area. Its complex terrain was a great restriction for the Sui army, which was dominated by cavalry. Moreover, from the Loess Platform to the south, there are ravines all the way. The Tang army could choose favorable terrain at any time to ambush the Sui army.
But Huang Mingliao understood very well that although the three armies were exhausted and although there might be an ambush ahead, this was not the reason for the Shenwu Guards to let Li Yuan escape south.
"Li Yuan left today. It will take ten or a hundred times more effort to make up for today's mistakes in the future."
"However, Huang Mingliao did not enter the Loess Platform directly. Instead, he chose to turn west and go straight to Languan.
Huang Mingliao certainly didn¡¯t dare to leave the Loess Platform.
But Huang Mingliao knew very well that no matter which route Li Yuan took, his ultimate goal was still Bashu and would not change.
However, Li Yuan is now defeated, suffering heavy casualties, running out of food and grass, and exhausted men and horses. Even crossing the Qinling Mountains and heading to Bashu is not that easy. If he wanted to have enough strength and energy to reach Bashu, Li Yuan would definitely choose to meet with the Tang army in Lantian first.
The Lantian Camp of the Tang Army not only had thousands of troops, but also had sufficient supplies and baggage, all of which were necessary for Li Yuan to go south.
So Huang Mingliao led his army straight to Lantian, ignoring Xinfeng.
Huang Mingliao was not afraid that Li Yuan would turn around, or even be afraid that Li Yuan would return to Chang'an. As long as Li Yuan is willing to fight in Guanzhong, Huang Mingliao has nothing to fear. If he is afraid of this guy escaping into Shu, then everything will be over.
From Xinfeng to Lantian Pass, the straight-line distance is fifty miles, while the main road is a hundred miles.
Huang Mingliao ordered that the three armies must reach the distance of one hundred miles within twelve hours.
The traditional training subject of the Sui army is running.
The first requirement for Huang Mingyuan's military training is to be able to run. The standard is that he can crawl two miles even if he breaks his leg. Marching one hundred miles day and night is almost a hard test to test whether he is a real Sui army.
Although Huang Mingliao's army has many soldiers, under normal circumstances, it is not impossible to run a hundred miles.
But the problem is that everyone has just finished two battles, which is not the time when they are full of vigor and energy.
The soldiers of the Shenwu Guard first rushed westward, lurking for most of the day, ambushed Li Xiaoji, and fought a fierce battle. After resting for less than a few hours, they rushed east again and fought a bloody battle at Xinfeng Ferry.
??Especially Huang Mingliao, who didn¡¯t sleep a wink for almost two days and two nights.
Therefore, as soon as the order came out, everyone was shocked and looked embarrassed. Even Yuchi Gong also stepped forward to persuade: "General Manager, now the three armies are exhausted and the men and horses are exhausted. It is difficult to fight. Even if the men can hold it, the horses cannot. How about resting for two hours before attacking again? , and also made the brothers sigh."
Huang Mingliao looked resolute.
"Our army is exhausted. Isn't it possible that Li Yuan's troops are exhausted? Now both sides have reached their limit. It depends onWho can survive. "
Huang Mingliao asked Yuchi Gong to take everyone who could move with him, and he had to rush to Lantian even if he crawled.
People can tolerate it, but horses are not humans, so they can¡¯t tolerate it. All the horses were tired and covered with sweat. They stood on the ground and kept panting.
The war horse went through two fights and galloped back and forth again. It had reached its limit. If it continued running, it would be exhausted.
Huang Mingliao was in a hurry to leave and could not wait for the horse to rest. Of course, he couldn't destroy all these war horses. So Huang Mingliao ordered that all officers and soldiers only carry capable horses, and the rest of the horses should stay in Xinfeng City to rest. After these war horses recover, they can then pursue the Sui army.
As for the Sui army, they had to use two legs to travel.
War is a process that burns life. What is burned in this process is not only the lives of others, but also possibly your own.
So thousands of Sui troops marched towards Lantian, almost carrying their tired bodies.
Stopping for a meal was out of the question.
Xinfeng City has six pot helmets per person, plus two meat cakes and a bag of water per person, which is the food for this urgent march.
This pot helmet weighs half a catty and can be sprinkled with a layer of salt and a layer of oil in the middle. It is easy to make and easy to store. Since the Fengzhou era, together with fried noodles, it has become the standard military ration under Huang Mingyuan.
???????????????????? Fengzhou is close to the Hu region and is mostly accustomed to Hu customs, so the standard military rations also include dried meat, cheese, etc.
Huang Mingyuan has never been willing to spend money on food for the troops.
At this time, everyone was marching and chewing on the pot helmets. They didn't even stop eating. They were just chasing time.
Huang Mingliao didn¡¯t care if there were stragglers along the way and let them catch up with the troops on their own. Some of the lazy ones even beheaded them in public.
A soft-hearted person cannot be the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
A group of people ran from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn. Sui Jun was running numb, with only his two feet moving mechanically.
Everything comes from human instinct.
Even at this level, Huang Mingliao didn't dare to let everyone take a break. If these Sui troops were allowed to rest, Huang Mingliao was worried that once these extremely tired soldiers fell down, they would never be able to get up again.
I don¡¯t know how long I walked, but I was finally not far from Lantian Pass.
At this time, scouts reported that the Tang army in the Lantian camp had fled without a trace. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
