Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 253 Unmanned Xiping City
The leader looked at where they were now and said.

Although what he said seemed a bit cold-blooded, they were all true. They were responsible for transporting grain and grass. If there was any problem with the grain and grass, it would not be solved by killing them.

If the general above gets angry, their family members may be affected, so even if it is for their own family members, they will take good care of this batch of food and grass.

After all, they also knew that the most important thing in marching and fighting was the rear supplies. Without these, they would have no way to deal with the enemy.

What's more, they also know that their target this time is the Shu army of the Tang Dynasty. They have heard of the prestige of the Shu army more or less. To fight against people like them, they must be fully prepared.

Otherwise you may lose.

This time, Xiping City has been lost, and if they have no ability to take it back, they probably won't have the face to go back.

"Did you hear what I said just now? So even though it's a repair, you can't slack off. If there are bandits or the like, you have to respond immediately. If there is any loss of food and grass, I will ask him. !"

The chief yelled at everyone.

Just when everyone wanted to respond to him, they suddenly heard screams.

"Ahhh!"

As soon as the leader of the Tuyuhun army heard the sound, he immediately looked in the direction of the sound, only to see several soldiers running towards him in a hurry.

"The general is not good! There is an enemy situation!"

As soon as the leader heard this, he immediately cheered up.

"Everyone, don't panic! Join forces to deal with the enemy!"

He was used to such sneak attacks, so he was not particularly panicked. After hearing what he said, everyone stood up one after another, picked up their weapons and prepared to fight the enemy.

However, what they never expected was that their enemy was not ordinary people, but the cavalry led by Li Ke himself. Li Ke divided his cavalry into two groups, and came around from a small path to the front of the Tuyuhun army.

Li Ke himself led a cavalry in the rear, and the two sides flanked each other to prevent the other party from escaping.

Faced with the sudden attack of Li Ke's cavalry, Tuyuhun's army was a little at a loss. They were also in a state of repair, but when they relaxed their vigilance, they did show their feet.

"Everyone, don't mess around! Follow me to fight through the siege, and pay attention to protect the food and grass!"

The leader of the Tuyuhun army was also experienced. After he realized that he was at a disadvantage, he immediately began to lead everyone out of the encirclement.

Everyone listened to what the leader said, and immediately acted according to what the leader said. Some of the people adjusted and went forward while protecting the food and grass.

Li Ke's Shu army was very brave, coupled with Li Ke's protection, it can be said to be indomitable. After the two sides fought for a while, the leader of the Tuyuhun army found that he was not Li Ke's opponent at all.

He didn't even know who the person who came to rob and kill them was. He didn't want to die here inexplicably. Although food and grass were very important, people had to be alive.

Although the food and grass were all for the large army, he didn't want the small army he led to be wiped out, so the leader of the Tuyuhun army had already begun to retreat.

"General! Do we want to retreat? If we keep fighting like this, I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to hold on!"

At this time, someone has already asked the leader for advice.

The leader originally had such an idea, and after hearing someone ask him, he immediately made a decision.

"Everyone follow me to retreat! Don't worry about food and grass!"

As the leader spoke, he immediately unhooked the carriage containing grain and grass from the horse, then rode on the horse and led everyone to rush out.

Everyone saw that the leader was about to run away, so naturally they had no intention of continuing the fight and fled one after another.

Li Ke didn't lead a large force to chase after them. After all, their time was very urgent. After he successfully intercepted the grain and grass, he had to go back quickly and tell everyone, and he also wanted to support Gu Wu.

What's more, the Tuyuhun army is already a deserter at this time, and there is no threat. Even if they successfully join the army, they will be punished.

After all, they lost the most important food and grass, so he did not believe that the general of Tuyuhun would not be angry.

"Everyone check the food and grass, take it with me and go back with me."

Li Ke looked at the battlefield and gave instructions to his subordinates.

"Yes!"

After all, the food and grass are very important to Li Ke, and their food and grass are very limited for this march. Because he had been in a stalemate with the defenders of Tuyuhun outside Xiping City for a long time, there was also some shortage of food and grass on their side.

Originally, I wanted to mobilize food and grass from outside, but I didn't expect that free food and grass would be delivered to my door. Why didn't I collect it?

What's more, their plan this time is to trap the Tuyuhun army in the city, so they need to stay outside the city for a period of time, during which time they also need food and grass.

After Li Ke gave the order, his subordinates collected the food and grass one after another, and then rushed back to join the main force.

At this moment, Tuyuhun's large army had already arrived outside Xiping City.

"General Lanka! Ahead is Xiping City!"

"Strange, why is the Shu army so quiet? And it doesn't seem to have any defense?"

Looking at Xiping City in the distance, Lanka always felt that something was wrong. There was no defense at all around here. He originally thought that he would encounter an ambush from the Shu army when he came outside Xiping City, so he deliberately cheered everyone up. Pay attention to the surrounding situation.

But he never thought that he didn't meet a single person along the way, and that he was about to enter Xiping City, and there was not even a single person outside the gate of Xiping City.

This is completely unlike the city of Xiping being occupied. On the contrary, the Shu army may no longer be in the city.

He was thinking about such a possibility. Could it be that the Shu army ran away non-stop because he was afraid that he knew he was coming?

The more Lanka thought about it, the more possible it became. After all, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Everyone, be careful, keep an eye on your surroundings, and follow me into the city!"

After careful consideration, Lanka decided to take his own people into the city first. As for whether this was a trick of the Shu army, we will see for ourselves when the time comes.

However, what Lanka doesn't know is that at this moment, the Shu army has already reported the situation on their side to Gu Wu. After they are about to enter the city, Gu Wu immediately followed what Li Ke said and brought people Arrived outside Xiping city.

When they came to the outside of Xiping City, Li Ke also brought people back.

"How? How's the situation?"

Li Ke asked.

"We have already observed that people from Tuyuhun have already entered the city, and we are probably wondering why there are no people in the city? Shall we act now?"

Gu Wu replied.
