Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 250 Take Xiping City

Divide your team into two parts, one part temporarily resists the attack of the Shu army, buys time for the large army, and retreats outside the east gate.

So when Gu Wu chased halfway, he found that the people in the Kushan camp had stopped moving, and instead attacked in their direction.

So Gu Wu led his men to fight. During the battle between the two sides, the generals of Kushan Camp had already led most of their troops to the east city gate.

When they were about to reach the east gate, they saw Raton's support team.

"What's going on at the west gate?"

After seeing them, Raton asked anxiously.

To be honest, seeing that they had already retreated to this place, he could already imagine the situation at the west gate, and he probably missed it long ago, otherwise he would not have chosen to retreat.

But Laton still holds on to a glimmer of hope. What if this is just their strategy?For example, sending a part of the team to attack the Shu army camp outside the east city gate.

Unfortunately, the reality is harsher.

After seeing Li Ke, the generals defending the Kushan camp breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with Li Ke's question, of course he wanted to tell the truth.

"At this time, the West City Gate has fallen. We were beaten here by the Shu army. In order to preserve our strength, I have sent some people to resist the Shu army and retreat here with a large army. The Shu army is coming fiercely. We had better It's better to retreat back to the camp at the East City Gate, otherwise I'm afraid..."

The general of the defending army did not continue, because he had already seen that Raton's expression was very bad.

At this time, Raton also realized the seriousness, and this was not a problem of them taking the sick to support at all.

Now that the west gate has been lost, they have no chance. If they insist on going there to confront the large Shu army now, they will probably suffer heavy losses.

The combination of the two of them can crush the strength of the Shu army, but now the people in the Kushan camp have suffered heavy losses, and the rest are like frightened birds. They say they are forcibly fighting the Shu army, and I am afraid they will be wiped out.

By then, even Xiping City will be unable to defend itself.

Therefore, Raton also felt that what the defending general said was not wrong. They should retreat first, and then discuss a countermeasure to integrate the team before attacking Li Ke.

"In this case, you come with me, let's go back to the camp first."

Raton said.

After hearing that Raton agreed to retreat, the generals of the Kushan camp heaved a sigh of relief. If Raton went directly to die, he would have nothing to do, but he didn't want to see his soldiers die in vain.

At this moment, Gu Wu's side had also broken through the remnants of the Kushan camp and marched towards the east gate of the city. Their speed was very fast and they would soon catch up.

Raton's speed was also very fast. The large army they led quickly left the east gate, and they were about to reach the camp when they suddenly heard a scream.

Immediately, Raton saw arrows raining down from the sky, and the target was their team.

Raton's reaction was very quick, and people immediately used shields to block them. Unfortunately, their reaction speed was still a little too slow. The opponent had already prepared, so before they set up their defenses to block, they had already lost some people.

Originally, the people at the Kushan Daying Camp were beaten and fled by Gu Wu's team. They thought they would be safe when they came to the East City Gate, but they didn't expect that they would encounter another surprise attack just after they left the East City Gate.

It was chaotic at that time, so it lost nearly half of the people in just a few minutes.

"Everyone, don't panic! It's the Shu Army's team! But there are not many of them! There is absolutely no problem with everyone being careful! Don't mess yourself up!"

After all, Raton is a general who has seen big scenes. In such a situation, he can quickly adjust his mentality and command the team to fight.

Under Rodon's command, the army quickly assembled and prepared to meet their enemy.

That is another Shu army, which they never expected. They thought that the main force of the Shu army was all at the west gate, but they didn't expect the strongest cavalry of the Shu army to be waiting at the east gate. them.

And the ambush has already been laid, and there are even archers shooting arrows.

At this time, it was Li Ke who was leading the cavalry of the Shu army. He had already ambushed here, waiting for them to escape to the east gate, and immediately released arrows after they came.

He also knew that the opponent would respond quickly, so after the first wave of arrows was released, he quickly prepared the second wave. This time it was not ordinary arrows, but ones dipped in kerosene.

Because Laton's side was also led by cavalry, it would not be of any benefit to him if the two sides faced each other head-on.

"Fire arrows!"

Li Ke found the right time and gave the order.

After hearing Li Ke's order, the archers immediately started to attack, and suddenly another wave of arrows rained. This time, the arrows were still carrying fire. Although they had shields, they would not suffer any losses, but the size of the shields was limited. A way to take care of everyone, especially the horses.

Therefore, under the fire, the horses fled in all directions, and many people were thrown off their horses. After losing their balance, they were injured by arrows in the air. Although most of them were not fatal, they would inevitably have difficulty moving after being injured.

Seeing that the enemy army was injured, Li Ke immediately led his troops forward. The speed of the cavalry was already fast, and Raton had no time to resist and could only be forced to deal with it.

Under such circumstances, they were at a disadvantage and could not defeat the Shu army at all.

What made Raton most desperate was that there was no way for them to retreat now. They originally retreated from the west gate to the east gate, and they could never go back to the west gate.

While he was thinking about this, Gu Wu's side had already rushed over from the west gate, and Raton's side was facing the pincer attacks of Gu Wu's side and Li Ke's side, and there was no way out at all.

Now, apart from reluctantly coping, there is only one way to go.

Raton didn't want all his subordinates to die. In his opinion, as long as there were people, there should be hope. If everyone died, there would be nothing left.

Therefore, he led everyone to surrender immediately, and some people did not have time to surrender at all, and those who were beaten fled around and died tragically in the end.

After seeing Raton's surrender, Li Ke didn't do anything again. For him, these prisoners of war were still of some use, so he led his troops to stop the attack.

At this time, Xiping City had been completely breached, Du Moli also received the news in the city, he originally wanted to retreat quickly, but it was too late.

In order to express his sincerity in surrender, Raton brought Li Ke to the place where Tumerli was. Before Tumerli escaped, he was blocked by Li Ke's army.

"I advise you not to act rashly, this Xiping City has already been taken down by me."
