The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 68
In the early morning of the next day, the army outside the city was assembled one after another. Li Congke stood at the front of the team, looking at Shanglu City, which was already filled with countless corpses in the distance, with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Siege the city." Li Congke waved his hand and gave the order.

"Come on." The remaining soldiers and horses, led by their respective generals, headed towards Shanglu City and killed them.

Although Li Congke had a large army, the Han army was defending the city after all, and with the support of [-] troops led by Yuwen Chengdu, the combat effectiveness was greatly increased.

Li Congke's army has no way to overcome the defense of the Han army. The best way now is to withdraw the troops and retain their strength.But Li Congke directly vetoed this proposal, and still ordered his subordinates to attack recklessly.

Li Maozhen also heard the news that there was a problem with the attack, and was ready to send troops to support him. Li Maozhen once again sent an army of [-], this time asking his younger brother Li Zicheng and adopted son Li Congrong to support Li Congke.

But it was too late by this time, and the [-] troops sent by Xue Rengui from the Han army had already arrived in Shanglu City.

A lore is about to begin.

"Report, there is news from the scouts that there is an army coming behind us. It may be the Han army." Li Congke was discussing how to attack Shanglu City when they were discussing.The words of a soldier shattered all Li Congke's illusions.

"What? How far is it?" Li Congke was a little flustered. He didn't expect that the Han army would send troops again, so the reason why those people had been standing still was about to be revealed.They want to keep these soldiers and horses here completely.

"One hour." The soldier said, this army seemed to appear out of nowhere, without any preparation.

"One hour, one hour. Order all troops to withdraw from the battle alternately immediately. Withdraw." Li Congke said, "Go down and prepare."

Li Congke seemed to have made a decision. After watching the generals leave, Li Congke rummaged through the boxes and found the clothes of some ordinary soldiers.And took some gold and silver jewelry.

Li Congke immediately called his own soldiers in, and after several people hurriedly changed their clothes, taking advantage of the chaos in the barracks, Li Congke led some of his soldiers and ran out secretly.

From withdrawing to fleeing in an hour, it was impossible for so many people. Li Congke decided to give up all his troops and run away with only his cronies.

"Where's the general?" After the generals went back to make arrangements, they came to Li Congke's camp again. They came to ask how to deal with it next.

"The general has an order. No one is allowed to enter. This is an order given to you by the general. Guard the camp." The guards at the gate didn't know why Li Congke gave this order, but since their master said so, they could only do so reply.

"Defend?" Several generals looked at each other. They had never learned any art of war, but at this time they also knew that defending was a dead end.Li Congke told them to go on the road to death.

Several generals looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. They didn't understand why Li Congke gave this order.

When they were about to go in, Li Congke's guards stopped them and refused to let them in. "The general's order is that no one is allowed to enter." The guard said stubbornly,
"I'll fuck you." A general was very angry, drew his own knife, and killed the soldier who had been blocking them. "What are you doing?" All of a sudden, because the incident happened so fast, none of them could react. When they just came back to their senses, there was a dead body underground.

"If the general says something later, I will bear it alone." The murderer was called Hu Laojiu.Be a butcher.Martial arts are definitely relatively high in Li Maozhen's army,
Hu Laojiu entered the camp alone first, but when they entered, they found that something was wrong. There were clothes everywhere, as if they had been robbed.

"Damn it, I ask you where Li Congke is?" Hu Laojiu grabbed the clothes of another guard who was trembling, and asked angrily.

This guard, when Hu Laojiu killed someone just now, he was already scared to death. As Li Congke's guards, their status is very high, and they all look at people with their nostrils.Who dares to lose their temper with them.But what he didn't expect was that Hu Laojiu directly killed a person just now.

"General, general, army, he, he just left." The guard couldn't even speak.

"Damn it, this Li Congke lied to me about sticking to the camp, but he ran away when he arrived. Damn it." Hu Laojiu said in a fit of temper.

"Okay, okay, let's do this now." Although Li Congke ran away, their danger was still not resolved. During the delay just now, the Han army was one step closer to them.

"I mean surrender." Hu Laojiu said, his idea is very simple, he has never killed the people, even if he rebelled, he was forced to do so, and the court probably wouldn't deal with it.

This proposal was partially supported. After all, they were all honest people. Although they revolted, they never killed the people, so they were not afraid of surrendering.

But other people can't do it. Most of these people are bandits, and they have a lot of lives in their hands. If they surrender, they will die.

"No, we mean to lead the troops to find Li Maozhen, Marshal Li." After Li Maozhen's uprising, he called himself Marshal, and he wanted his subordinates to call him that.

If they don't surrender, they have to return to Li Maozhen's command, so that they can survive.

"No, I want to surrender to the big man."

"No, I want to find Li Shuai." The two groups started fighting because of their different attitudes.

At this time in Shanglu City, Yuwen Chengdu, Liu Long watched their enemies retreat, and knew that his reinforcements were coming.

"Come here, prepare to set off immediately. Attack the enemy." Liu Long said, this is a good opportunity, and this unit must be completely killed.

"I've been aggrieved for the past few days, this time I have to have a good time." Yu Wencheng said.

"Let's start now, we must hold them back and not let them run away." Liu Long said.

"That's right." Yu Wencheng went down to pack up his equipment, and then began to attack the enemy.

"I'll go." In the rebel camp, neither of the two groups could persuade the other, and when they were about to fight, Xue Rengui and Yuwen Chengdu seemed to have agreed, and both sides attacked Li Congke's camp at the same time.

Because they have just been withdrawn now, they have not figured out what happened, and the generals are not there, and there is no one to command the battle at all, so they were easily taken down.

The generals in the camp heard noises outside, and when they were about to come out, hundreds of archers outside shot at the camp. Dozens of generals inside became hedgehogs, and they could no longer die.

The Battle of Shanglu ended with the victory of the Han Dynasty, but it is a pity that Li Congke is currently missing.
