The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 570 Counterattack
Up to now, the Yan army had not suffered any casualties, but he had suffered tens of thousands of casualties. How could he continue to fight this battle? His first thought was not how to respond.
Because he couldn't think of a countermeasure. No matter how many people rushed up, they would all die. What was the point of dealing with it? He came to his senses and rushed down the sentry tower immediately.
He quickly called on the remaining 40,000 people to retreat. As for the soldiers he had sent out, he had long since forgotten about them. If they didn't run away, they would die.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, it took less than an hour. This battle made Li Shunchen feel terrified and aggrieved. He just wanted to escape now!
Just when Li Shunchen's side was defeated, time went back to the time when Li Shunchen asked the messenger to deliver a message to Li Suigang.
Li Sui just received the news that his father's army was only fifty miles away and could arrive by noon. He was filled with excitement. The army was also fully organized and ready to attack the city again at any time.
When the Silla soldiers heard that reinforcements were arriving soon, they all shouted loudly and stared at Youdu Palace ahead with eager eyes, ready to attack the city and burn, kill and loot at any time.
But just as they were getting ready, they saw signal fireworks suddenly rising into the sky from a distance. Li Suigang looked at the fireworks in surprise, not knowing what was happening for a moment.
But just as he was astonished, he saw the city gate in front of him slowly opened, and countless soldiers of Dayan ran out of the city.
Li Suigang was stunned when he saw this scene, with a look of surprise on his face. However, he soon became ecstatic and quickly gave the order to attack.
Although he didn't know why the people of Youdu Prefecture were so stupid as to suddenly open the city gate and rush out, if they took this opportunity to rush into the city, they could capture Youdu Prefecture without even having to attack the city.
However, before his order was given, suddenly, countless loud noises were heard from the city wall, and then a number of flaming things roared towards their tents.
Before the Silla army could react, the fire fell on the camp. Bang... bang... a series of explosions stunned the entire camp.
Screams came one after another, and everyone looked at it in astonishment, terrified to the point of trembling with fear. It took them a long time to come back to their senses.
At the same time, the Dayan soldiers who rushed out of Youfu let out a whistling charge and the sound of killing shook the sky.
In the blink of an eye, these people rushed forward. With bursts of bangs coming from the Yan army, the soldiers of the Silla army who were about to fight back suddenly fell down in anger, with blood splattering all over their bodies.
Li Sui just came back to his senses and looked at all this in horror. He was in a daze. He turned his head mechanically to look towards Youdu Mansion, a strong fear welling up in his heart.
He vaguely understood one thing in his heart, that he might have been deceived and fooled!
Youdu Mansion had enough strength to easily destroy him, but it was ridiculous that he was so arrogant that he thought he could easily capture Youdu Mansion, just because he didn't have a siege vehicle.
It was ridiculous that he thought he had almost breached the city wall several times. Now that he thought about it, it was all a trick to confuse the enemy and they were just playing with him. What a bullshit of almost breaching the city.
No wonder their side attacked the city wall several times, but the attackers did not cause even a trace of chaos. It turned out that they were led up there to die.
Looking at the weapons exploding everywhere in his camp, the fear in his heart became even stronger. If the Yan army attacked his tent while he was sleeping, he probably wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.
After coming to his senses, Li Suigang no longer had the courage to fight. He called his personal guards and gathered the remaining soldiers to escape. He wanted to tell his father that the Yan army was terrifying and he should not think of invading Dayan and Daxi anymore.
Nearly a thousand of his personal guards mounted their war horses and rushed towards Li Shunchen's location with Li Suigang. Behind them were nearly ten thousand remnant soldiers and twenty thousand cavalry.
These cavalrymen had the fastest reaction and they were not on the front line, so the 20,000 cavalrymen were able to survive intact.
As for the Silla soldiers at the other three city gates, most of them were killed by the Yan army that suddenly rushed out of Youdu Palace, and the rest were cavalry who escaped.
The number of soldiers who escaped was about 30,000, and the rest either disappeared or were killed. Li Suigang led the remaining soldiers to the location where his father was.
He only hoped that he could get to where his father was as quickly as possible. In this way, he might be able to rely on the 200,000 troops under his father's command to wipe out the tens of thousands of people in Youdu Prefecture.
His idea was good, but the reality was cruel. He led 30,000 men and rushed out less than ten miles, and then countless Yan troops suddenly appeared in front of them.
Maxim swept them away, and the 30,000 remaining soldiers could not even break through the front position. Li Suigang saw this scene in the army formation, and immediately changed direction, leading the remaining soldiers to bypass the ambush in front.
The thirty thousand people also split into several groups and fled in several directions. But they didn't get far, no matter which direction they fled, they were ambushed.
They didn't even get close to the Yan army, and were shot dead on the spot. Many people finally chose to surrender. Li Suigang was hit by a shell and was killed on the spot.
Since then, nearly 50,000 of the 100,000 people who surrounded Youdu Prefecture were killed, and the remaining 40,000 were all captured.
As for Li Shunchen, he took the remaining 40,000 people, as well as the remnants of the troops retreating from the front, left and left directions, about 80,000 people, and fled to the rear.
However, he no longer had any cavalry under his command, and most of them were infantry. Li Shunchen no longer cared about the infantry behind him, and fled with only his 2,000 personal cavalry guards.
The infantry behind him were left far behind. It was not that he did not want to wait for his men, but he really did not dare to wait. Who knew if the Yan army would catch up? Once caught up, it would be a dead end.
He didn't know how long he had been running. When he found that the infantry behind him had been left three or four miles behind, he stopped and prepared to wait for the infantry.
No matter what, it is still beneficial for him to keep these remaining soldiers. If he discovers an ambush, he can let these remaining soldiers help him escape.
After waiting for about half an hour, the remaining soldiers finally arrived, and he had rested enough, so he led the remaining soldiers and continued on his way.
He was also relieved in his heart, fortunately the pursuers behind him seemed to have not caught up yet. As long as he marched another hundred miles, he could return to the Northern Barbarians.
But he had not marched for a quarter of an hour when suddenly, countless flames rushed towards their army in front, followed by a burst of intensive explosions.
