Chapter 2091: A small defeat
"Tuoba Tao, you are a shameless person who only knows how to play tricks, but you have the guts to fight to the death with your Grandpa Li Gan?"
Li Gan roared while slashing wildly, trying to provoke Tuoba Tao out, and then kill him to turn defeat into victory.
Yes, the battle has reached this point, but what Li Gan wants to do is not to stop the losses in time, but to reverse the defeat and wash away the shame.
This behavior will only have two results, one is to turn defeat into victory, and the other is to pay a greater price for death.
If the opponent is a fool, with the Qin army's sophisticated equipment and a fighting spirit that is not afraid of death, Li Gan might be able to turn defeat into victory, but Tuoba Tao is obviously not one of them.
With Tuoba Tao's wisdom, it was naturally impossible for Tuoba Tao to give up his advantage and put himself in danger when he was fully dominant, watching Li Gan's performance like a monkey.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people around Li Gan, and even Li Gan himself was about to give up. When he wanted to withdraw his troops and suffer losses, Tuoba Tao took the initiative to appear in front of Li Gan.
"How dare you, don't you want to fight me to the death?"
A hint of amusement flashed across Tuoba Tao's handsome face, and then he sneered: "In that case, I will help you."
After saying this, Tuoba Tao drew his spear in advance and galloped towards Li Gan.
[Tuoba Tao's skill 'Gunner' is activated, force +2, basic force 94, equipment +2, current force increased to 98. 】
Seeing this, Li Gan was overjoyed and abandoned his army. He also brandished his weapons and attacked Tuoba Tao.
[Li Gan's skill 'Gunner' is activated, force +2, base force 95, current force increased to 97. 】
On the other side, Tian Yu, who was commanding the army to resist with difficulty, saw that more than half of his own army had suffered casualties, but Li Gan still did not order the withdrawal, and he was confused and anxious.
"What on earth is Li Gan doing? Why haven't you withdraw your troops yet?"
Tian Yu, who was holding a shield, shouted and asked the guards around him, but he was already cursing An An in his heart.
Tian Yu opposed the pursuit from the beginning and thought there was something wrong with it, but Li Gan refused to listen to him and insisted on pursuing the pursuit.
After arriving at the ambush site, Tian Yu's first reaction was that there was an ambush, but Li Gan believed that the Qing army had been defeated and it was impossible to set up an ambush, so he took the initiative to walk into the Qing ambush circle.
What was originally a good situation turned into the current situation due to Li Gan's single thought, which made Tian Yu feel ashamed of his entrustment to Wei Qing.
"Guo Rang, Li Gan is impatient, brave and reckless. If you have a disagreement with him, you can give in on small issues. But on big issues, you must remember not to give in, otherwise it will easily increase his arrogance. Crazy heart.”
This was what Wei Qing said to Tian Yu before leaving, and Tian Yu always kept it in mind.
But when he really had a disagreement with Li Gan, Tian Yu really couldn't stand up when faced with Li Gan's attitude of attacking if you don't agree with him.
If he had known that this would lead to the current situation, even if Tian Yu had a fight with Li Gan, he would never let Li Gan go like this. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
"General Qi, General Li Gan is fighting to the death with the Qing army commander."
"What?"
Tian Yu suddenly stared at Da Le, and anger rose in his eyes.
The entire army would have been wiped out. It was outrageous that Li Gan was still showing off his bravery and putting the entire army in danger.
Tian Yu immediately guessed what Li Gan was thinking, which was simply to kill the Qing general in order to prevent defeat and win. However, the Qing general was obviously a wise general, and his ability to follow Li Gan's wishes was obviously premeditated.
Tian Yu's guess was correct. The reason why Tuoba Tao took action personally was because he saw that Li Gan wanted to run away. In order to delay Li Gan and kill more Qin troops, he did not hesitate to personally fight with Li Gan. A battle.
Now that the Qin army has suffered more than half of its casualties, if Li Gan is allowed to continue fighting, the entire army may not really be wiped out.
"Pass this general's order to have the entire army retreat immediately." Tian Yu ordered with a gloomy face.
"But General, General Li Gan has not issued an order..."
"If you are asked to pass it on, you can do it. I, Tian Yu, will take care of everything else." Tian Yu roared angrily.
"This...No."
The messengers left in a hurry, while Tian Yu took a hundred elite soldiers to meet Li Gan.
Tian Yu jumped over the hierarchy and issued an order to withdraw the troops, which was tantamount to putting Li Gan in danger, so he had to personally deal with Li Gan, the general, otherwise his military career would be over if this matter was reported back.
When Tian Yu led his troops to Li Gan, he saw a scene that made his eyes split.
Li Gan, who had been wounded by an arrow, gradually lost strength after fifteen rounds of fierce fighting. As a result, Tuoba Tao shot his weapon away, and then he was shot through the throat, and he fell off his horse and died.
[Ding dong, Tuoba Tao defeated the strong with the weak and killed Li Gan. His force is permanently +1. The current five dimensions: commander 96 (99), force 95 (+1), intelligence 90, politics 97, charm 95 (99) ;]
Tuoba Tao was a Confucian general who was not good at force. His basic force was 1 point lower than that of Li Gan. The reason why he was able to defeat the strong with the weak and kill Li Gan was because Li Gan had already been injured by an arrow. Mainly because of the equipment blessing.
Originally Tuoba Tao was planning to fight with Li Gan for a while to delay time, but when he saw that Li Gan did not order the Qin army to withdraw, he immediately stopped thinking about continuing to play, and decisively understood Li Gan with one shot.
Tuoba Tao, who had just experienced a battle, had an unconcealed tiredness on his face, but his eyes were full of excitement. After dismounting his horse and beheading Li Gan, he held up Li Gan's head and shouted: "Li Gan has died." If you die, those who surrender will not be killed.”
Immediately afterwards, the Qing troops all over the mountains and plains shouted: "Li Gan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed."
Tian Yu suddenly looked horrified when he saw this.
Although the Qin army suffered a small defeat in this battle, it still gained momentum. Anyone who was not a fool would not surrender to the Qing army at this time.
Therefore, after hearing the Qing army's cry, the Qin army not only did not surrender, but ran faster, but this fell into Tuoba Tao's plan.
Tuoba Tao knew that the entire army would not surrender, but he still asked the soldiers to shout "Li Gan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed." His purpose was not to persuade him to surrender, but to spread the news that Li Gan was dead, with the purpose of defeating the Qin army. The fighting spirit turned the Qin army from a worthy defeat to a complete defeat.
As Tian Yu expected, with the news of Li Gan's death, the morale of the Qin army plummeted. The soldiers no longer had any fighting spirit and turned around and ran away, focusing only on escaping, regardless of their formation.
"It's over."
Tian Yu was completely desperate. If he had evacuated in time, he might have saved two to three thousand people, but now he was lucky to have 500 people back alive.
—————
"Tuoba Tao, I remember you, just wait for me."
Tian Yu stared at Tuoba Tao, as if he wanted to remember him forever, and then turned around and ran away with his men. If he continued to stay, I'm afraid he would follow in Li Gan's footsteps.
