Valley Emperor

This Sun Yawei, what is this doing, he said so righteously, is this to let them continue to defend?

You want to die yourself, don't drag us!

At this time, I only heard Sun Yawei continue: "Today, the strong enemy soldiers are in the city, we should have killed ourselves and made our name clear, but as officials of the Tang Dynasty, how can we ignore the danger of the country because of our own private name.

Now, His Majesty is coming with the army Pixing Daiyue in person, and will soon be there for a decisive battle with the face-to-face puppet thieves. However, I have few major generals in the Tang Dynasty, you must not have the will to seek death, and should be reserved for the follow-up decisive battle. make an effort. "

After speaking, he sighed: "Today, I have no regrets waiting for my own death, lest I ruin Your Majesty's plan to destroy the enemy!"

When everyone heard it, several people wanted to curse at the same time in their hearts: I'm stupid, I said so strangely, just say how good it is to run away, just listening to what you said in front of you, I thought that I would fight to the death!

I am so surprised!

Sun Yawei's remarks are called a righteousness, and everyone who listened to it was stunned. When I first heard it, I thought he wanted everyone to fight to the death, and only the last person was left. , But I didn't expect that, when this conversation changed, it was about running away and continuing to fight for His Majesty's great cause!

Now that they have said that, they naturally have a look of joy on their faces, and then said in unison: "Master is wise!"

Hearing this, Sun Yawei nodded slightly, showing an expression that won my heart!

But in fact, he is not in a good mood now, he is planning to run away, and his mood is naturally not that good.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to hold Liping City for a few days, so as to buy more time for His Majesty. In this way, even if he was a civil official, he could still get a credit for defending the land.

But I didn't expect that the attacking Ming army was not weak, um, or that the robbery camp and the youth in the city were too weak.

Sun Yawei has also seen the world. He has witnessed the battle between the new army of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming army many times. In the second battle of Lanjiang and the battle of crossing the river, he stood behind Li Xuan and watched the battle!

In his impression, the new army of the Tang Dynasty was quite powerful, and the Ming army was more victorious than defeated.

But he knew better that the defenders in the city at this moment were not regular troops, just more than 300 thieves camps and a group of young men.

The robbery battalion in the Datang New Army system is, to put it bluntly, a group of yamen. It is okay for them to arrest fugitives, robbers from Jiangyang, or to deal with some big dogs, but if you let them fight against the large regular army of the Ming army, then It's just too hard.

In particular, the establishment of this robbery camp in Liping City was very short, and many people were still the original Ming army yamen!

In order to gather and control the yamen, help and other people under the original Ming Dynasty, and at the same time to get familiar with and start war work faster, the robbery camp of the Datang New Army will absorb a large number of yamen and even idle people from the original Ming Dynasty.

After all, its main purpose is only to maintain local security, not to go to the battlefield. It is a matter of course that it goes to the battlefield to fight with the regular army and loses miserably.

This morning, with the help of a large number of young soldiers, it was not easy to block the attack of hundreds of Ming troops.

Now it is almost impossible for them to continue a decisive battle with the thousands of Ming troops outside the city.

If he was destined to be unable to hold it, Sun Yawei could only give up Liping City in advance!

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty did not say that officials had to defend the city, because civil and military did not communicate with each other, and fighting was a matter for military commanders. Civil officials were only responsible for civil affairs.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was different from the Ming Dynasty. The military power in the Ming Dynasty was actually in the hands of the civilian officials. Therefore, if the battle was defeated and the city was lost, the first person to be held accountable was the local civilian officials, especially the civil servants. in the lead.

After deciding to officially retreat, although Sun Yawei was unwilling, he quickly brought everyone to prepare to break through.

It is easy to break out of the siege, because there are not many Ming troops in the city, and they have not been able to completely surround Lipingfu City. Even if the number of Ming troops outside the city is large enough, according to general military theory, it will not be completely surrounded. , or else there would not be the word "weisanjueyi".

Because if the city is completely besieged, it is easy for the defending troops to germinate to defend the city. This leaves a few gaps, which can make the defenders more easily shaken, and then escape or even collapse.

This is a good thing for the attackers!

Soon, Sun Yawei took thousands of people to break through the east gate and the north gate at the same time!

The Ming army outside the city naturally discovered the first time that the pseudo-Tang bandit army in the city was going to take the initiative to break through and flee. The breakout troops of the pseudo-Tang thief army outflanked the past.

The generals of the Ming army in front of them naturally would not watch the enemy break through and escape. They had to intercept them. Whether they could be stopped or not was another matter.

Speaking of escape, it is a tradition for the new army of the Tang Dynasty. As early as the Lijiacun period, Butcher Chen and Liu Bagou took Li Xuan all the way and escaped the pursuit of the Ming army.

During the period of Huangzhushan, the new army of the Tang Dynasty also fled constantly, constantly hiding from the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army!

It is rude to say that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was built on the road of constant escape!

Even though the Tang Dynasty has developed and grown, it has already ruled hundreds of miles and hundreds of thousands of people, but the tradition has not been forgotten.

Even though the army led by Sun Yawei was not a regular army, just a group of robbery camps and young men, the escape and running still captured the essence of the new army of the Tang Dynasty retreating lightly.

Before they left the city, more than half of the soldiers threw all the weapons in their hands. Just after they left the city gate, when they saw the first group of Ming troops chasing after them, the remaining half of the soldiers also threw their weapons in their hands. , and the armors of several low-ranking officers were also not kept, they all took off, and then fled in only a commoner.

Running and running, even the banner held by the messenger did not know where it went, and the food and other things originally carried by the other soldiers were also thrown away.

If you don't throw it, how can you implement the tactics of retreating lightly?

After running out for a few hundred meters, a small group of Ming troops about tens of meters outflanked and chased after him. The hundreds of new Tang troops in front of him, Ren Jiu, showed his indomitable courage, and continued to escape without looking back. On the body of a comrade-in-arms, but he did not look back when he died.

In this escape, the new army of the Tang Dynasty showed freedom and unrestrainedness, decisiveness and speed, such a military appearance, such a speed of retreat, and only the Ming army can compare with it!

The Ming army general who was chasing from the back looked at the fake Tang thieves running all over the mountains and fields in front, and there was a trace of contempt in the corner of his mouth, and then said softly: "A group of rabble!"

"Yes, these pseudo-Tang thieves are just a group of thieves. When they were able to take down Xingquan and Liping, it was purely because of coincidence that the local officials were too incompetent!"

"It is enough to send a hundred households to chase after the army. It is useless to chase the main force. We should hurry into the city to prevent the situation from changing!"

"Master is wise!"

The generals of the Ming army made such a choice not because they were kind-hearted or underestimated the enemy, but because they thought that Sun Yawei's more than 1,000 fleeing people really made him not pay attention. There is no way, this running and running is already a complete collapse on its own.

You only need to send a hundred people to chase and kill them, and you can gain a lot, and there is no need to waste the main force to chase.

What's more, with such a city of Liping Mansion in front of them, they want to enter the city as soon as possible, and then become a great hero in recovering the lost land!

After running all the way, Sun Yawei finally managed to get rid of the pursuit of the Ming army with a group of elite soldiers under his command, and then turned around to count the number of people who were still behind, he just wanted to scold his mother.

At the beginning of the breakout, there were more than 1,200 people in total. After leaving the city, even if they were intercepted by the Ming army for a while~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the casualties would not exceed 100, and most of them successfully escaped the pursuit of the Ming army. killed.

But why are there only 300 people left behind?

Where did the rest go?

The devil knows!

Along the way, some people will be left behind because of lack of physical strength, some people will be left behind because they have gone the wrong way, and some people will be left behind because they are running away.

The number of people running and running is getting smaller and smaller.

It is not bad to have more than 300 people left for Sun Yawei now.

Although he was in a depressed mood, Sun Yawei still had to take them on the road. At this time, they were still too close to Liping City, and too close to the Ming Army. The danger was still there, and it was very big!

Fortunately for Sun Yawei, when they were about to spend the night in a small village in the evening, they encountered a team of scouts from the New Tang Army.

This scout force was obviously going to investigate in the direction of Liping City, and immediately Sun Yawei told the scout in detail that a large number of Ming troops had appeared under Liping City, and Liping City had fallen.

After hearing the news, the second lieutenant who led the scout team did not dare to be slighted. Even if he dispatched a fast horse to report to the rear, he wanted to send the news back to the forward troops as soon as possible, and then let the forward troops pass it back to the middle army in the rear. His Majesty the Emperor.

So that His Majesty can better judge the military situation and make better strategic choices.

At the same time, he also said goodbye to Sun Yawei in a hurry, and then took the scout team of the headquarters to continue towards the southwest of Liping City.

It is normal for the Ming army to appear in Liping Palace City, and it is not a big deal for Liping Palace City to be conquered by the Ming army, but the key is, how many Ming troops are attacking?

Is it a vanguard army of only a thousand people, or will there be more Ming troops?

More importantly, where is the main force of the Ming army now?
