Now that Qi army reinforcements are coming, if I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave any later.
"Retreat, the whole army retreats!" Li Xiaogong immediately gave the order to retreat.
All the soldiers retreated one after another, but Li Yuanba had no intention of retreating at this time.
He thought he was number one in the world, but was defeated by Luo Shixin and Li Cunxiao under the fierce attack of Xiangyang City. If he left like this, he would have no face in the future.
"Let's go, I want to see who can stop me, Li Yuanba."
Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng also counted on Li Yuanba to open the way for them and protect them to go back. Seeing this guy messed up again, they scolded: "The general situation is over, you still don't know what's going on here, go away!"
Li Yuanba fought several times in a row today, and was besieged by Li Cunxiao and Luo Shixin again. The anger in his stomach had nowhere to vent.Now, after hearing Li Jiancheng's words, he was furious and evil, and cursed: "You bastard, you want me to fight Xiangyang, and now you say this king, you obviously look down on me, you think this king is not Dare to hit you?"
As soon as the words fell, the golden hammer for beating the drum and urn was raised high and smashed down.
Li Jiancheng quickly dodges, the beating drum urn golden hammer brushes past him, and slams hard on his horse.
How can a body of flesh and blood resist Li Yuanba's thunderous blow.He only heard a "poof", the horse was cut in two by him, Li Jiancheng fell from the horse, and fell miserably.
"It's wrong, it's wrong, I'm your elder brother, you bastard, even your elder brother will be beaten!" Li Jiancheng slammed at this time, ignoring the prince's etiquette.
Li Yuanba was already a little crazy, seeing that Li Jiancheng was still scolding him, he immediately roared, picked up another hammer and passed.
Li Jiancheng's eyes were wide open, and his back felt cold.
At this moment of lightning and flint, Xue Wanche hurriedly killed him from the side, parrying with a knife.But how could he resist Li Yuanba's hammer, and he was smashed into a ball with a knife on the spot, bloody and bloody, and died on the spot.
Seeing Li Yuanba smashing Xue Wanche to death, Li Yuanji took a few steps back and shouted, "Yuanba, are you crazy? Come on, don't you even listen to your second brother? Your second brother can talk, if you don't Go, you won't have his brother."
Li Yuanba smashed Xue Wanche to death with a hammer, and he was a little dazed immediately.
Even in his ignorance, he knew that he had made a mistake, and after hearing what Li Yuanji said, he didn't dare to continue to make mistakes, so he swung the sledgehammer around his shoulder, turned around and left.
If he wants to leave, no one can stop him.
With Li Yuanba escorting them, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji finally broke out from the encirclement of the Qi army.
Qi troops from all over the place gathered one after another, Chen Qingzhi immediately ordered Li Cunxiao and Luo Shixin to gather troops and horses, and quickly chased and killed Tang Jun.
And Wu Tianxi, who came for reinforcements, was even more furious when he learned that his brother had died under the hammer of Li Yuanba, and his heart was broken.Without further ado, go directly to copy Tang Jun's back route.
Although the Tang army had Li Yuanba, but facing the Qi army's attack from all sides, among the tens of thousands of Tang troops who came to rescue, except for Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Li Xiaogong and Li Yuanba, only more than 500 escaped from the encirclement, and the rest were either surrounded or killed directly.
The Tang army went down the river, but the Qi army did not let them go, and quickly boarded a boat and rushed towards Xiakou.
The Tang army suffered heavy losses. Even though Li Xiaogong desperately resisted, the important town of Xiakou was still captured by the Tang army.
If it weren't for Li Yuanba's might and ferocity, Xiling might have fallen directly into the hands of the Qi army.
After the two armies fought for a while, Chen Qingzhi moved all the camps to the south, and tens of thousands of troops guarded Xiakou.
Li Xiaogong knew that there was no reinforcements to rescue him, so if he continued to stick to Xiling, he would lose sooner or later.In desperation, he had no choice but to burn the city's luggage and lead the remnant army down the river to return to Jiankang.
Although the Qi army won.
But the loss was no less than that of Tang Jun.
The important town of Jiangxia was lost and regained. Although this important pass to the south of Jiangdong was preserved, the food, grass and supplies hoarded in the city before had been burned by the Tang army.And after several battles, the Qi army killed more than 3 people, and the wounded were countless.
The deaths of Huo Jun, Di Lei, Guan Sheng, and Wu Yunzhao brought even more gloom to the Qi army.
The docks and warships were damaged a lot by the Qi army. Even if they won, it was a miserable victory.
Since Cao Anmin established his foundation in Xuzhou, in terms of frontal attack, Qi has seldom suffered such heavy losses in battles.
Now after the First World War, the generals of the Qi army also recognized the strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Chapter 894
The news of the Battle of Xiangyang spread to Pengcheng, and the whole country of Qi mourned.
Cao Anmin went to Zhongyi Pavilion in person, engraved the names of all the generals who died in battle on the stone tablet, and granted them posthumous titles, and his family raised them in Beijing.
The anti-war sentiment in the country is also on the rise. Many people think that the Southern Tang Dynasty has strong national power. Compared with the previous Wei State, it may take more time and national strength to conquer it.
In addition, there is a Qin and Han Dynasty behind the Qi State, and many ministers also believe that the Qi State should be steady and steady, first control the newly occupied Jingzhou land, and then expand.
In the end, it was Cao Anmin who overcame all difficulties and personally took command. The garrisons recruited from various places were mobilized one after another, and millions of civilians and countless food and supplies marched towards the south of the Yangtze River.
In the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan sat wearily on the dragon chair, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't want to talk to the courtiers below.
"Your Majesty, someone must stand up and take responsibility for the battle in Jingzhou." A censor said and looked at Li Jiancheng who was standing in front of the courtiers.
"Li Changqing, what do you mean?" Li Yuanji was dissatisfied immediately, pointing at the censor who spoke just now, and angrily reprimanded.
Since the two brothers returned to Jiankang, there has been an extremely discordant voice in the court.
There was even a censor who directly wrote a letter, begging Li Yuan to abolish Li Jiancheng as the crown prince, and add the title of the second prince, Qin Wang Li Shimin.
Compared with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, Li Shimin guarding Jingkou can be said to be peaceful.
The Qi army across the river seems to have all fallen asleep, and there is no sign of going south.Li Shimin had nothing to do, so he strengthened the defense line around Jingkou, and set up multiple barriers in the middle of the river in order to prevent the threat of the Qi army's navy.
Everyone compared him with Li Jiancheng.
Compared with the latter, Li Shimin did a great job in losing important areas and causing countless casualties.
"Your Majesty is just discussing the matter as it stands, please check it out."
Li Yuanji still wanted to speak, Li Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, and looked directly at Li Yuanji in front of him.
Seeing this situation on the lips of Li Yuanji, he swallowed the words back alive.
"Okay, the situation in Jingzhou is already like this. Now that the enemy is at hand, I hope everyone can discuss what to do next."
As soon as Li Yuan said a word, the ministers also understood that he did not have the idea of replacing the prince.
"Your Majesty, my minister Li Xiaogong has something to say."
"allow!"
As the commander-in-chief of this thousand-mile rescue, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were able to escape from the clutches, all thanks to Li Xiaogong's advice.
Who doesn't know that the Yangtze River is now completely controlled by the Qi State, and how difficult it must be to safely enter the waters of Jingzhou and attack Jiangxia under heavy defenses.
If it wasn't for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji holding back, maybe Li Xiaogong would be able to regain the lost ground in Jingzhou.
"Your Majesty, I believe that we must reorganize our troops and horses as soon as possible to prepare for the great enemy."
