Li Shimin still personally led the army to attack outside Rouyuan County.The attack on the third day was still extremely tragic. The army under Li Shimin's command rushed forward wave after wave, but it was a pity that there were countless casualties, but still had little effect.On the contrary, the Turks, Goguryeo, etc. continued to paddle, all of them chose to feint, and never really launched an attack.
Under such an offensive, Li Shimin's army lost more than 1 people in one day, but in the end, they still failed to make a breakthrough. Especially today, the defense line in charge of Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan is stronger, and Rouyuan County seems to be A meat grinder kept killing the soldiers of the Tang Army under Li Shimin's command, and killed countless people, making Li Shimin return in defeat again.
As night fell, the Tang army retreated again,
The fight on the third day was still a failure.
The troops withdrew and stationed.
Inside the Chinese army tent.
Li Shimin was dressed very thickly, wrapping himself like a zongzi.But the thick clothes could not warm his cold heart, because nearly 5 people were killed or injured in the three consecutive days of fighting.
Such a casualty is too great.
Even Li Shimin's soldiers are strong and strong, but they can't afford such a loss.
Li Shimin sat upright.
Below are Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Wei Zheng and others.
At this moment, no one spoke first, and the atmosphere was extremely dignified.The attack on a small Rouyuan county has lost so many troops, especially if they haven't won yet, the loss is really too great.
After a long time, Li Jing took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, we still haven't broken Rouyuan County. The plan to take Rouyuan County by force has already failed."
Li Shimin said: "I know."
Li Jing said: "Your Majesty once said that he would withdraw his troops if he could not win Rouyuan County for three days. Now we don't have Xia Guo's weapons. It will be quite difficult to win this battle. Therefore, I suggest that we retreat immediately."
Changsun Wuji also said: "Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter, and there is nothing we can do about it."
The rest of the people also spoke one after another.
At this time, everyone began to change their attitudes, and they all urged Li Shimin to retreat.For Xia Guo, many generals in the army were actually a little apprehensive.The reason is very simple, I have suffered too much in Du Qi's hands.Every time he fought with Du Qi, he was hit head-on by Du Qi.This time Du Qi is not here, once Du Qi arrives, the consequences will be disastrous.
Li Shimin listened to everyone's persuasion, but his expression was cold.
retreat!
Can we retreat now?
After retreating this time, can we still attack Du Qi in the future?
This is what Li Shimin thought.
Li Shimin had thoughts in his heart, but seeing the expressions on the faces of the generals in the army, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone step back, I will think for a while by myself."
"Sir, please retire!"
The crowd stood up and left.
All of them left one after another.
But Changsun Wuji didn't get up to leave, but stayed in the tent.
Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, what are you doing? Everyone left, but you stayed."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty and I are of the same mind, that's why we stayed. Your Majesty's thinking is the same. Your Majesty wants to break Rouyuan County, win this battle, and defeat Du Qi. I also feel the same way. Now that I am here with His Majesty in the territory of Xia Kingdom, if
If Du Qi can't be wiped out, then it's a waste of time. "
Li Shimin nodded and said: "What the auxiliary machine said is true."
Changsun Wuji said: "So now, we can't retreat."
Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, in fact, the most important thing is that Du Qi's weapon has made an innovation, and it is already ahead of us again. If we can't take this weapon this time, then the next time, it will have a greater impact on us. And There are such weapons in Rouyuan County, so we must take down Rouyuan County right now. "
After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "As long as we take down Du Qi's new weapon. Even if we fail in this battle, it is not considered a failure. But if it is like this now, retreat without fighting, and get up after attacking for a while It would be a waste of effort to leave, so here I am not willing to retreat."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty is wise."
After a pause, Changsun Wuji said: "Since that's the case, I will immediately notify everyone to come back."
"Not in a hurry!"
Li Shimin shook his head and spoke.
He just asked everyone to retreat, and now he immediately called everyone back, wouldn't it be a change of order.
Anyway, he also wanted face.
Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, Du Qi's development is too fast now. If Du Qi's strength is not contained, then the consequences will be unimaginable. So now, we must win."
Changsun Wuji echoed, "I understand His Majesty's intentions. Du Qi's son is too evil, so at the moment, we must attack again. Let Du Qi continue to sit on the throne, the consequences will be disastrous."
Li Shimin said: "That's what it means."
Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to lobby Duke Wei and inform Minister Wei. When the time comes, they and I will join hands to request to stay and continue fighting."
Li Shimin said: "Don't worry, even if you have to do it according to your
Falai.But here, there is another most critical factor, which has never been resolved. "
Changsun Wuji said, "What's the problem?"
Li Shimin said: "How to defeat the enemy?"
After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "If this point cannot be resolved, then the most core and fundamental problem has not been resolved. So at the moment, this is a problem that must be solved."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I will discuss with Wei Xiang and Wei Guogong. We have discussed a specific strategy. When I come to see Your Majesty again, I will inform the rest of the people to come to discuss matters."
Li Shimin smiled happily when he heard this.
It is indeed his confidant.
Changsun Wuji's awareness is high.
Li Shimin said with a solemn expression: "Auxiliary machine, this time it's up to you. Whether our national war with Du Qi can turn things around,
Just in this battle in Rouyuan County. "
Changsun Wuji said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your high expectations."
Li Shimin said: "Go."
Changsun Wuji got up and left straight away. After leaving the tent, he went straight to Li Jing's tent.After seeing Li Jing, he bowed and said, "Duke Wei!"
Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Duke Qi, please sit down!"
