The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1823 Continued Deterioration
At this time, there are about [-] Yuan troops forming a frontal block, and the number of Yuan troops on the left and right sides is no less than [-].

However, the soldiers of his Tianli Army had been attacked all night, and now there are less than 500 soldiers left.Moreover, there are still many wounded soldiers among them, who can no longer form combat effectiveness.

If you count all kinds of soldiers such as the military commander, there will be even fewer people participating in the battle.

With this amount of troops, if the Yuan army, which was blocking the frontal attack, suddenly launched a counterattack, I'm afraid it would end up being eaten up by the Yuan army.

Yu Xingwen has confidence in the fighting power of the Tianli Army, but he is not conceited.In the face of the absolute disparity in strength, even the Flying Dragon Army is useless here.

"Retreat!"

Yu Xingwen gritted his teeth and finally made such a decision.Such a battle with no hope of victory will only bury the soldiers here.

During the battle of Shenxianling, the Tianli Army managed to leave some of its troops here.He didn't want to bury them all here again.

If it is said that the entire army was wiped out here, setting up an army that day is tantamount to following in the footsteps of the Tianying Army and the Tianfu Army.

Although the Tianying Army and the Tianfu Army have been reorganized now, they are still different after all.

An army is inherited from the military spirit, and this kind of military spirit is often closely related to the courage of the first general and the first batch of soldiers in the army.

And if the army is wiped out by the whole army, even if the flag is still there, the army spirit of this army will be gone.When it is formed again, it will only be another army inside.

Soon, the Tianli army gave up some of the captured territory and retreated to the rear.The brothers who were fighting in front also quickly retreated.

But the Yuan army in the camp of Taichang Temple really planned to annihilate the Tianli army. As soon as the brothers of the Tianli army retreated, the Yuan army immediately pressed up.

This made the soldiers of the Tianli Army who had to fight and retreat instantly seem to be under great pressure.

Yu Xingwen, who was in the army, had a serious expression on his face.

However, this was not because the Yuan army counterattacked, but from the moment they retreated, there was a question lingering in his mind.

He was wondering in which direction to retreat.

The sound of guns at the arsenal has long since disappeared, but the barracks in the inner city are full of artillery fire.He knew that at least the garrison of Luzhou Prefecture should be assisting the Tiangang army in attacking the camp.

But since the guns are still ringing, it means that the Tiangang Army and the Luzhou Garrison have not yet taken down the inner city barracks.

In other words, he still needs to hold back the Yuan army in the Taichang Temple camp.It's easy to escape from the city, but if you really want to leave like this, you will do a terrible job to the Tiangang Army and the Luzhou Defense Army, or the Tianping Army in the Xiangguo Temple barracks nearby.As long as the thousands of yuan troops in the Taichang Temple camp find time, no matter which camp they go to for assistance, they will inevitably cause disaster to the brother troops who are attacking the camp.

But how can we hold back the army of more than [-] yuan and avoid the result of being wiped out by the entire army?

No matter how shrewd and capable the general is, he might have some headaches at this moment.

As for the remaining Yuan troops in the Taichang Temple camp, Yu Xingwen really couldn't care less.He only hoped that those guys would not go out to camp.

It's three o'clock.

Although the Yuan army in Taichang Temple intended to keep all the Tianli army here, but the Tianli army retreated decisively, and they were not able to stick the Tianli army.

So before the encirclement by the Yuan army on the east and west sides, the Tianli army ran out of the predetermined encirclement.

Although those Yuan troops who were blocking the front in the Nanying area before were still biting the tail of the Tianli army at this time, but it was obviously impossible to keep the Tianli army by biting the tail alone.

Tail biting is very skillful, and it is also a special test of the overall quality of soldiers.Usually, only the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty killed the Yuan army.

Many generals of the Yuan army in the Taichang Temple camp were annoyed by this.

But they don't know that the reason why Tianli Army has been bitten by their tails is actually Yu Xingwen deliberately doing it.

He just wanted to hang these yuan troops so that they could not divide their troops to the inner city barracks.

He even planned to turn around and take two bites if these Yuan troops retreated.In short, they are doing their best to consume the entire army here.

It's a pity that these Yuan troops have not yet realized his true intentions.All his mind was on destroying the Tianli Army, and he didn't even think about the barracks in the inner city.

However, Yu Xingwen's retreat still caused an unavoidable chain reaction.

The Yuan army in the Xiangguo Temple military camp not far to the east of the Taichang Temple military camp noticed the movement here.

One is that the sound of gunfire has disappeared, and the other is that the sound of gunfire is getting farther and farther away.They were so close to Taichang Temple that the sentries on the sentry tower could even see the situation on the side of Taichang Temple.

When they learned that the soldiers in Taichang Temple launched a counterattack against the Song Army and forced the Song Army to flee in embarrassment, the generals of the Yuan Army in the camp of Xiangguo Temple couldn't sit still.

They didn't receive any orders from the government all night long, and they found out that Song Jun didn't seem to have any ambushes, so they were already itching in their hearts.He wanted to kill the Song army, but he also wanted to go to the government office to see what was going on.

Because no one took the lead before, I was still a little hesitant.Now that the Yuan army in Taichang Temple is fighting out, the Yuan army in Xiangguo Temple will no longer hesitate.

At the moment when Yu Xingwen led the Tianli army and just ran out of the encirclement, the Yuan army in the Xiangguo Temple also launched a counterattack against the Taiping army.

They are also the elite of the Yuan army.

Although they did not prepare for the counterattack for a long time like the Yuan army in Taichang Temple, the counterattack was equally strong.

Against the charge of a small force of the Tianping Army, they launched a counter-charge from the front of the camp.

This really made the soldiers of the Tianping Army who were charging unable to react.

Fortunately, Lu Yuwen, who was watching the battle situation all the time, reacted quickly enough to make people call gold.Otherwise, the two battalions that rushed up might all have to be accounted for.

The offensive and defensive roles changed too quickly.

Lu Yuwen had also noticed that Yu Xingwen's Tianli Army was retreating before, and at this moment he quickly realized that this Yuan army might have already seen the reality of his side.

This battle is not easy to fight, as long as it is dawn, there is not much hope of victory.Because the truth will be discovered by the Yuan army.

Can't we take down this Kaifeng mansion after all...

Lu Yuwen slammed his fist heavily on the sandbag in front of him, without thinking too much, he shouted: "Retreat!"

He knew that the Yuan army in the camp in front of him far outnumbered his Tianping army, and if he continued to stay here, not to mention getting no benefit, the result would definitely be quite bleak.

Even the defensive measures of the small position occupied have been basically blown to pieces, there is no danger to defend, and it is unlikely to be able to stop these counterattack Yuan troops.
