While the stones were pouring down from the mountain, countless flying knives and arrows flew straight into the valley. Many Tang soldiers avoided the stones but were knocked over to the ground by the flying knives and arrows! The horses neighed at the scene and shouted,

Chaos! Seeing that the opponent had set up an ambush, Hou Junji did not dare to stay for a long time, and shouted anxiously: "Retreat! Retreat!" As he shouted like this, he had turned his head and fled along the way. Tang soldiers and soldiers walked away one after another.

Not long after, nearly ten thousand Tang army cavalry retreated from the valley.

The slaughtered building, Qin Qing, Lu Ben and Zhao Cunrui ran to Zhang Lang's war horse and worshiped: "King!" Lu Ben and Zhao Cunrui also paid homage to Dou Xianniang. Dou Xianniang saw everyone coming, and suddenly found that she was still hugging her.

Zhang Lang's tiger waist suddenly felt shy and hurriedly let go of Zhang Lang and jumped off the horse's back.

Lu Ben and Zhao Cunrui ran to Dou Xianniang's side. Dou Xianniang thought of her mother and hurriedly asked Lu Ben: "General Lu, are my mother and the others getting out?" Lu Ben clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness Princess, don't worry, the Empress and the others are all going well.

Get out of here and now resting on the hillside there." As he said that, he also pointed to the hillside not far away. Dou Xianniang's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go. She looked at Zhao Cunrui and said with a glee: "Sir, sir."

It's so good to be safe and sound!" Zhao Cunrui was moved and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your care of Your Highness."

At this time, Zhang Lang turned his head and said, "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go on the road quickly." Lu Ben and Zhao Cunrui couldn't help but look at Dou Xianniang. Dou Xianniang ordered, "Prepare quickly, we'll set off immediately!" The two of them agreed with their fists.

, ran down. Dou Xianniang wanted to see her mother, but when she thought of her mother's previous attitude, she didn't dare.

The group continued to retreat north. Zhang Lang looked at the team and found that almost all the masters from Baihualou and Daotang were there, but the Xia army was only a few hundred people left. The group retreated north without any surprises.

If you are going to retreat to Hejian County to rest and recuperate, and wait for Wu Yunzhao's army. Hejian County, which is now Hejian City, Hebei Province, is about 200 miles away from the east of Changle, and is adjacent to Tuohe River in the west, located in Hebei.

The central area is the strategic priority of Hebei region! In this era, Hejian County can definitely be regarded as a large county with a rich economy and a large population in the world!

After Hou Junji retreated, he rushed to Changle. Not long after he walked, he met Li Shimin who was leading an army of 100,000 to the north. Hou Junji was shocked and quickly rushed forward and bowed, "Second Your Highness!" Li Shimin was still

Before he could speak, Li Yuanba next to him could no longer help but point at Hou Junji with a big hammer and roared: "Hou Junji, how dare you chase Brother Zhang and the others on your back!" Hou Junji was shocked

, hurriedly explained: "The Third Highness calms down! The General of the Mo just doesn't want the great enemy of the Liao King to escape! The General of the Mo just wants to make the Li Tang Dynasty's country, so please forgive me!"

Li Yuanba was furious and was about to have an attack immediately. Li Shimin stopped him: "Yuanba, calm down!" Li Yuanba finally was extremely awe of this second brother. When he heard that his second brother stopped him, he suppressed his anger and did not ejaculate. Li Shimin looked serious

He said to Li Yuanba: "Although what Junji did was a little offensive to you, he was loyal to me, Li Tang, and you should not hold a grudge against this matter!" Seeing that Li Yuanba did not make a sound, he couldn't help frowning and shouted;

"Did you hear what I said?" Li Yuanba did not dare to disobey his second brother after all, and responded unwillingly. Li Shimin laughed. He knew that although his third brother was brutal and fierce, he just agreed.

Things must be done no matter what. His third brother has this personality.

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji and asked, "Have you been ambushed?" Hou Junji looked depressed and said, "I didn't expect that the Liao King would even arrange the troops who had cut off the rear under such a great defeat!

Our army suffered a big loss!"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "Was it a lucky result for the Liao King to be so powerful?" Then he said seriously: "You must remember the lesson this time, and you can't make the same mistake again next time!" Hou Junji agreed with his fists.

Li Shimin couldn't help but look up at the sky in the north and murmured to himself: "This Liao King Zhang Lang is probably our strongest opponent! The battle with him has just begun, and I don't know how many tragic things will be experienced in the future.

A big battle! It is not easy to clean up the mountains and rivers and unify the world!" Then he shouted loudly: "The whole army sets off!" More than 100,000 troops continued to move and headed straight to the north.

Hou Junji couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, there is an ambush in the valley ahead, this...?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "There are not many people left, so why are you afraid of ambushing?" Hou Junji was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that the other party had just suffered a great defeat and was almost wiped out.

How many soldiers can be left now? The number of ambushers in the valley before must be limited. If I had thought of this and forced an attack, I would have caught Zhang Lang and the others at this moment! As soon as I thought of this, Hou Junji only felt that he was

After missing a great opportunity to capture Liao King Zhang Lang alive, I couldn't help but regret it. However, even if he regrets it, it would be useless. I couldn't help but look at Li Shimin, but I saw that he didn't seem to notice the mistake he made at all.

Yes, he immediately understood and knew that Li Shimin was not willing to blame him for this, so he did not mention this matter at all. Thinking of this, Hou Junji couldn't help but be extremely moved.

Zhang Lang and others retreated northward, crossing the prefectures and counties, and did not stop until they reached Hejian County, and then stopped to rest. Zhang Lang and others had nothing to do, they were very skilled in martial arts, and they were also military personnel, so they marched for a long distance.

They were commonplace; however, the queen of Xia Kingdom Cao and the palace maids who followed her were exhausted. Although they had carriages to sit on, the long journey still made them exhausted and depressed.

Now that I can finally stop and rest, everyone's hearts felt like they were given a general amnesty, so excited that they were almost crying.

The prefect of Hejian County heard that His Highness and Queen Mother suddenly arrived, and was surprised, so he quickly brought a subordinate to pay homage to Dou Xianniang. At this time, the officials and civilians of Hejian Prefecture did not know that Changle had been captured by the Tang army.

.

The prefect paid homage to Dou Xianniang, but did not see the queen. He couldn't help but ask, "Princess Princess, I don't know where the queen is? The officials should pay homage to you according to the courtesy." "No need. Mother has already gone to the inn to rest."
