Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 578
Chapter 576: The Great Chaos Will Begin
Seeing that the enemy who used 'despicable' means to win, not only did not have the slightest shame, but instead looked magnanimous, Wu Yunzhao felt hatred in his heart.

"Dian Wei, one day, you will die at my hands."

Wu Yunzhao shouted angrily, took a deep glance at Dian Wei, and then joined forces with Wu Tianci to break through.

Dian Wei just wanted to go to chase, but several dark arrows were shot in the distance. Dian Wei hurriedly swung his halberd to block. Although most of the arrows were knocked away, an arrow pierced through his right shoulder.

Dian Wei ignored the injury, pulled out the arrow, and scolded, "Which bastard hurt someone with an arrow?"

"The shooter, Xue Li and Xue Rengui."

Xue Rengui, who was [-] meters away, drank coldly, and then continued to shoot arrows to cover the retreat of the generals.

"Ding Dong, Xue Rengui's skill 'Arrow God' is activated, and the force instantly increases by 6, the basic force is 103, the equipment is +2, and the halberd is +4, and the current force increases to 115."

"General Dian, you are injured, the task of chasing and killing General Han is left to..."

Before Li Jin could finish speaking, his horse was hit by an arrow, and then the whole person was overturned to the ground, and Long Qiyuexi hurried forward to help him block the rest of the arrows.

After Brother Wu Jiang broke out of the siege, when passing by Xue Rengui, Wu Yunzhao thanked him sincerely: "Thank you Brother Xue for your help."

"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Xue Rengui was calm, and then continued to shoot arrows with a bow.

Under Xue Rengui's arrows, the chasing Ming army generals were either forced to retreat, or suppressed and dared not raise their heads, so the Han generals were able to escape easily.

Soon, the pot of arrows behind him had been shot, and Xue Rengui had to retreat when he saw this.

Although Xue Rengui failed to kill Long Qi in this battle, he also shot and killed several generals, and several others were wounded by him.

After the meeting, the Han generals and the Flying Bear Army tacitly chose to cut off the queen, because only in this way can the damage be minimized, and when all the soldiers and horses were withdrawn from the customs, the broken Flying Bear Army began to retreat while fighting.

After Xiang Yu led the army to drive the Han army out of the pass, they chased after them for ten li before withdrawing their troops and returning. At this point, the second Hulao Pass battle finally came to an end.

------

In the third year of Zhongping, in August, the Marquis of Jin Qin Wen personally led the army to attack Hetao.

Temujin, who was attacking Xianbei, urgently dispatched Zhebei's army to return to the rescue after receiving the news, and the two sides fought again in Hetao.

At the same time, Daming also made a major move in Sizhou and released 20 prisoners of war, and Xiang Yu, who had disappeared for a long time, finally appeared.

Under the leadership of Xiang Yu, the prisoners of war broke through and fled Sizhou all the way, while the [-] Han army elites led by Lu Zhi and Li Shimin were pressing hard to bite.

After Hulao Pass, there was no danger to defend, so the prisoners of war had to stand by and wait for help.

On September [-], the Han army attacked and entered Hulao Pass, and Zhang Liang led the army to fight to the death in the street.

In the end, after Xiang Yu and Zhang Bao led Bawangqi to arrive, Ming Emperor Zhang Sheng personally led 15 reinforcements to arrive.

After the battle between the Han and Ming sides in the pass, Li Shimin ordered the entire army to withdraw from Hulao Pass in order to prevent the death from being too large.

Han army camp.

Li Shimin was pacing back and forth with a gloomy face, and all the generals of Liangzhou below lowered their heads, and the atmosphere was unusually dull.

"Has the casualty statistics come out?" Li Shimin asked with a solemn expression.

In the previous battle, due to Li Shimin's decision to retreat when he saw that the situation was not good, the two sides of Han and Ming did not completely fight to the death, so although the casualties were large, they must still be within the tolerance range.

It can be seen that Li Xiuning's complexion is extremely heavy, and Li Shimin knows that he may be thinking too beautiful.

"Nearly [-] casualties and [-] direct casualties, the Flying Bear Army is now out of ten..."

The 3 Han army lost [-] horses in the first battle, and even the most elite Feixiong army was disabled, which shows how tragic this battle was.

Of course, if Li Shimin hadn't ordered the retreat in time, the number of casualties would have been even greater. After all, the Ming army would definitely not retreat.

"What percentage of the Sizhou Army's casualties accounted for the total?"

Li Shimin asked again that there were all Liangzhou generals present, so he didn't have any scruples in speaking.

When the generals heard Li Shimin's question, they remembered that the main force in the battle was the Sizhou Army, and only the most elite Flying Bear Army participated in the battle in Liangzhou.

"Sizhou army casualties exceeded [-]..."

The Liangzhou generals immediately lit up, and only then did they realize that the Liangzhou army was not the biggest loser, but instead became the real overlord of Sizhou because of a blessing in disguise.

Li Shimin also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The Liangzhou army did suffer heavy casualties in this battle, but he took the opportunity to further weaken Lu Zhi's strength, thus consolidating the position of the Liangzhou army in Sizhou.

"There are gains and losses in this battle. My father-in-law thinks that he won't blame me too much, right?"

Li Shimin secretly thought in his heart, and at the same time, he was very grateful for his prudence before the war.

"But what to do next?"

Although the Han army gave up the pursuit and withdrew from Hulao Pass, it did not mean that the battle was over.

In the past, it was Li Shimin's idea whether to fight or not, but now the Han army can't fight, and it's even more impossible not to fight.

The Ming army's 15 troops have already moved in, and a forced attack will inevitably cause heavy casualties, and it may not be possible to fight down.

But if they don't fight, Hulao Pass is the east gate of Sizhou, and its location is so important that it must not fall into Daming's hands.

"Headache."

Li Shimin has now been forced into a situation where he cannot advance or retreat. If he is a little careless, his career may end here, so he can't be cautious.

Seeing the troubled look of his brother, Li Xiuning hesitated for a while, then stood up and said, "Second brother, Xiuning has a plan, but he can let the Ming army withdraw from Hulao Pass without a single soldier."

Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Xiuming, there are no jokes in the army."

Li Xiuning immediately clasped his fists and said seriously, "The last general is willing to issue a military order."

Of course, Li Shimin wouldn't really let his sister make a military order.

"The military order is unnecessary. Let's listen to it."

Li Xiuning glanced at the generals, and his intention was self-evident. Li Shimin had to wave his hands to signal the generals to go out. Although the generals were very dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to disobey Li Shimin.

"It can be said now."

Li Shimin said helplessly, he didn't believe that Li Xiuning really had a way to get the Ming army out of Hulao Pass without a single soldier, because it was basically impossible in the current situation.

A strange look flashed in Li Xiuning's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Second brother, you can see that Emperor Ming Zhang Sheng is a bit like my younger sister."

"Yeah, you are just as bold."

To be honest, Li Shimin admired Zhang Sheng very much in his heart. After all, as an emperor, he dared to go to the battlefield in person. This courage is not possessed by ordinary people, and his sister is also bold.

Li Xiuning blushed and said loudly, "That's not the case."
