Chapter 190
Tang Long knew that Jingzhou City could not be defended. After all, the opponent's force was ten times his own. In order to escape, Tang Long asked Li Jing to lead the remaining men. He kept saying that he would return to the capital to ask for help and asked Li Jing to hold on for half a month.
Although Li Jing was a veteran, he couldn't tell that Tang Long was leaving them and running away.
But Li Jing was a general of the Tang Dynasty. In order to defend the country of the Tang Dynasty, he led 50,000 people to defend to the death, which lasted for half a month.
Unfortunately, Li Jing did not receive reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty half a month later, and he had less than 10,000 soldiers.
He knew that Da Chu would soon attack the city again. In order to save the remaining soldiers, Li Jing decided to abandon the city.
It's not that he is cowardly, but that the Tang army is about to be defeated. If they die in battle, the situation in Datang will be even worse, so Li Jing plans to preserve his strength.
Tang Long was defeated. He was afraid of being blamed by the Tang Emperor. When he learned that Li Jing had abandoned the city and fled, Tang Long took the opportunity to put all the charges on Li Jing.
The Tang Dynasty's 500,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out. When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty learned of this, Lei Lei was furious and wanted to kill Li Jing.
Li Jing learned the news and had no way to report it. Full of anger, Li Jing had no choice but to go to Tiandang Mountain, intending to occupy the mountain and become king.
Tiandang Mountain is the largest base of bandits in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were 30,000 to 40,000 bandits in Tiandang Mountain.
Remember https://m in one second.
Li Jing led less than 10,000 remaining soldiers and swept away the bandits with a thunderous force. Under Li Jing's fierce offensive, all bandits in Tiandang Mountain chose to surrender.
Afterwards, the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the battle in Jingzhou City heard that the eldest prince Tang Long was willing to let Li Jing take the blame in order to protect himself. They were filled with indignation and decided to go to Tiandang Mountain to surrender to Li Jing.
"Damn it! Tang Long is such a dog. After losing the battle, he actually threw dirty water on others. Can't father see it?" After hearing this, Tang Yu was stunned.
"well!"
Xu Shize sighed again: "The half-million-strong army was almost completely wiped out, and the Tang Dynasty was in danger of subjugation. His Majesty was so angry that he turned his anger on Li Jing. In addition, Qin Mang, the general who protected the country at that time, learned that Based on the situation on the front line, he immediately gathered troops and went to Yangzhou City, the second line of defense!"
"Qin Mang is not as stupid as the eldest prince. He focused on defending the city. In the end, the Chu army could not attack for a long time and chose to retreat! Afterwards, His Majesty came to his senses. It was a pity that Li Jing had already occupied the mountain and became the king. In addition, the eldest prince had Qin Mang. For the sake of the overall situation, this matter will finally be dropped!"
"I'm so angry, you idiot Tang Long!" Tang Yu was so angry that his teeth itched.
If Tang Long hadn't been stupid, Datang wouldn't be as passive as it is now.
Three years ago, the Tang Dynasty had only 500,000 troops that could go into battle, and Tang Long destroyed them all at once.
In the past three years, the Tang Dynasty had only recruited 400,000 troops by recruiting troops. One can only imagine how tragic that battle was.
After a pause, Tang Yutou said: "Old Xu, if you say so, Li Jing must be resentful of the court now. I don't know him, so how could he help me?"
"There is someone who may be able to bring unexpected miraculous effects to His Highness!" Xu Shize said, stroking his beard.
"who?"
"The founder of the Golden Fire Cavalry, General Meng Tian!"
