Li Shimin

Chapter 870 Annihilation of a Hundred Thousand Thieves!
"Ok?"

Li Yuanchang, who was standing in the depths of the mountain forest, and other members of the aristocratic family were taken aback when they saw this.

"The Tang army is about to attack?"

"We are in the depths of the mountain forest, with twice as many people as them, and we even have such fetishes as throwing bombs with our hands, how dare they attack?"

All the people from the family couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

However, after seeing a cannon protruding from behind those shield soldiers like a squatting steel giant, the faces of all the family members changed drastically.

"artillery?"

"Why so many?"

"Aren't all the cannons built by Datang these years already installed on steel ships and taken away by Li Shimin?"

"Could it be that King Jin removed the cannons on the Chang'an city wall?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and others couldn't help being startled.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the scouts reported that his king wiped out the [-] bandit army, killed [-], captured [-], and finally the [-] army ran away with hundreds of people.

In the depths of the mountain forest, among the entire [-] troops, especially the places where the armored soldiers were concentrated, were all directly blown to pieces by the bombs, and their bodies were flying in all directions, like the end of the world.

Just a few steps away, Li Yuanchang and several personal guards heard a roar.

The army of one hundred thousand thieves is bound to be defeated.

Outside the forest, Li Xuan snorted coldly and ordered again.

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Li Chengqian could only nod slowly.

Originally, those farm households and old soldiers had already intended to surrender, and seeing that the armored soldiers guarding them had also been killed in the bombing, they could not take care of them.These village households and veterans who were coerced by the aristocratic family threw away their knives and guns one by one and surrendered!

"Boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, when passing the field, a group of fine dogs barked at the field, and each of them stood upright, trying to break free from the rope around their necks and rush forward.

"Very good!"

With the publication of the newspaper, the things that King Jin and His Majesty have to say have long been known to the people in Chang'an City, and even the entire Guanzhong and Datang lands.

Simultaneously.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Jin for defeating the rebels and returning triumphantly..."

In this era, most of the battlefields where [-] enemies are killed and [-] self-defeated, [-] troops against [-] enemy troops, but with less than [-] casualties, can achieve such results. Things you can't even think about.

If the king of Jin gave the prince face in this battle, they would feel strange if he followed the prince into the city.

However, Li Yuanchang could still feel the ground shaking.

The [-] thieves, who had never encountered such a situation before, were so frightened that they ran around like headless chickens.

You Jin Wang Li Xuan has just led an army of [-] to fight such a big victory. Before entering the city, you are going to leave the army and run away?

Hearing this, all the soldiers felt relieved.

As he said that, Li Xuan said again, "As for a few days later, those rebels will be found out, and you will hold a banquet in your East Palace."

Only now did Ma Xi and the people in Lijiazhuang truly relax.

In less than half an hour, the [-] captives were escorted by the [-] army to Chang'an City.

All the generals hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

However, to prevent the defeated bandit army from fleeing to Lijiazhuang, Ma Xi began to send out scouts again.

However, regarding the excited expressions of Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji, Li Xuan didn't bother to ask, but just got off his horse and had a polite exchange with Li Chengqian.

Although above their heads, there are still some branches to cover them.

A group of five guards also came over with admiration on their faces.

As long as the king leads an army of [-] to catch the [-] bandit army, they will have nothing to worry about!

"Send the order, the whole army strikes!"

On the two sides, there are a group of people standing in the dark, at least hundreds of thousands.

Knowing that not far from the village, there are [-] bandit troops.

Now, it's getting late, and I have to rush back to Zhuangzi before dark, so I won't stay any longer! "

A group of soldiers and generals subconsciously clenched their weapons tightly, their faces full of vigilance.

Unless the 5000 of them are all brave men like their own king, or maybe the Marquis of Pingyang, otherwise, if five thousand are against hundreds of thousands, there is no suspense. If they resist for half an hour at most, they will definitely lose!
It wasn't until they heard the familiar roar not far away that Ma Xi and the people in Lijiazhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, there are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with by you and the officers and men, where is the time to celebrate?"

In this regard, although those family members who are still desperately resisting are very resentful, but only a few armored soldiers can kill with a knife.The rest of the armored soldiers were either taken care of by the five guards, or they were surrounded by farmers and old soldiers around them, unable to move!
So far, the mighty [-] army, carrying the greatest expectations of the rebellion of the family, was defeated and captured by the [-] army led by Li Xuan within an hour!
"Your Majesty, the King of Han has found it! However, a group of the King of Han's personal guards are under him, as if he was injured by an explosion, and one leg is broken!"

It's a pity that before the orders of Li Yuanchang and the rest of the family were passed on, the five hundred cannons that they could see trembled in unison, and a puff of white smoke was spit out from the muzzle of the cannons, followed by roaring sounds. It sounded.

Therefore, if there is no major event in the past few days, this king will not come to Chang'an!
If there is any matter, the prince can discuss it with Wei Guogong, Fang Xiang, Changsun Sikong and others to deal with it! "

then.

Ma Xi was so frightened that he was sweating coldly, and immediately put the whole village on alert. All the guards, veterans, and householders put on steel armor, armed with knives and guns, took out all their hands to throw bombs, arrows and bombs, and guarded behind the village wall.

Sure enough, if you walk forward for a while, you will see the dragon flag in front of Mingde Gate!

Li Xuan said with satisfaction.

All households are unarmored, hand-throwing bombs and arrow bombs are returned to the warehouse!
However, Ma Xi still led a group of personal guards and led the dog to search for the village, for fear that a thief would leak in.

"Everyone quickly dispersed..."

Ma Xi and the other guards immediately became alert.

However, under the cover of [-] bombs and [-] arrow bombs, no one could escape the bombing range.

Fang Xiang, Changsun Sikong, Wei Guogong and others are very good at these things.

"Accept Qian and send off Uncle Wang!"

"Report to His Royal Highness King Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, together with all the officials and the people in the city, welcome His Royal Highness King Jin back in triumph!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

In addition, the captured rebellious families still need the prince to send someone to interrogate them.

As for the rebellious captives of the three aristocratic families, each guard guards one!
Anyway, at present, Li Chengqian directly guarantees that the five guards are the safest.

As for Li Yuanchang, he was pressed down by several personal guards, protecting him desperately.

Li Xuan didn't bother with these things, he was already thinking about going back to Li's Village when he saw Li Chengqian.

No matter if it was an old soldier from a village household or a soldier from a noble family, everyone's eyes were full of fear.

After a while.

"Wang Wang~"

He led his troops out of the city at noon, but killed a group of rebel troops in the forest twenty miles outside Chang'an City, and returned in the afternoon.

In fact, when the Thunder Army's [-] artillery pieces were bombarding, Li Chengqian, Li Jing and others stood on the tower of Mingde Gate, looking out of the city with worried faces.

As for whether he can catch those rebels around him, I don't know.

Sure enough, it was His Royal Highness King Jin. With such a great victory, you can let go of it and go directly to the village!
Everyone couldn't help admiring, but at the same time took it for granted.

"Clean up the battlefield quickly and send someone to report the victory to the prince. Then, take all these captives back to Chang'an, look after those rebellious families and prevent them from committing suicide. After returning to Chang'an, hand them over to the prince for interrogation!"

"I report to the King of Jin that we killed more than 5000 people in this 2000-strong army, and we killed more than [-] people because of resistance. In addition, there are more than [-] dead soldiers of the family who were coerced by those families. The farmers and old soldiers who came here were killed.

Immediately, the war drums thundered and the battle flags flew.

The captain looked happy, saluted quickly, and ran away.

Li Xuan snorted coldly with disgust on his face, and then asked again: "How many rebels from those aristocratic families can be caught?"

"Be careful, king!"

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Xuan shook his head directly.

When the army was still one mile away from the Mingde Gate, Prince Li Chengqian, Sikong Changsun Wuji, Zuo Pushefang Xuanling and others directly came up to meet Li Xuan.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Jin..."

And in Chang'an City, there are also countless good-for-nothing people, guarding the gate of the city.

It is also possible to use those rebellious leaders of the family as bait to lure out the hidden rebels in the city.

He couldn't help being nervous, that was a hundred thousand rebels.

The march of more than 20 miles took less than half a day. Is this considered a triumphant return?

Li Yuanchang even saw with his own eyes that a big iron ball directly hit the head of a family member not far away from him, and the head of that family member exploded like a cold melon.

"Uncle Wang, for this great victory, Cheng Qian and others held a banquet in the palace to celebrate Uncle Wang and all the soldiers..."

Therefore, when Li Xuan and the others were still five miles away from Mingde Gate in Chang'an City, they saw that outside Mingde Gate, there was a dense mass of darkness.

"I believe that soldiers have reported all the results of this battle to you. However, the prince still needs to send someone to bury the corpses in the forest outside the city.

"Okay, it's getting late, so I'm going back to the village. Although I've wiped out all the [-] rebels, but I've run away from a few families, and I've sent the school lieutenant to go after them." take.

Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, then bowed his hands to Li Xuan respectfully.

The number of people was even larger than their [-] army and [-] prisoners.

Under the banner, it was Prince Li Chengqian, Sikong eldest Sun Wuji, Zuo servant Shefang Xuanling, Duke of Wei Li Jing, and all the court officials.

"Back to the King of Jin, four of the rebels were bombed to death, three were captured, and three seem to have escaped. They are hunting them with all their strength!" the captain reported.

"It's just a hundred thousand bandit army, it's not worth going out of the city to welcome the prince!"

"Uncle Wang..."

In this battle, we have captured more than 8 people! "

"Also, in this battle, Wuwei Erlang and I only suffered less than five hundred casualties!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, "The three who escaped, don't arrest them immediately, follow behind them, and see if we can induce some rebellion!"

All civil and military officials in front of Mingde Gate, tens of thousands of common people, plus [-] generals who had just returned from the victory, saw the protagonist of this battle, His Royal Highness King Jin, who did not even enter the city, but fought with the Crown Prince. After His Highness said a few words, he took his own bodyguards and rode his horse towards Li's Village!

"It's okay!"

After they could no longer see King Jin and the others, Li Chengqian, Li Jing and others hurriedly summoned the five guard generals, separated the 1 prisoners, and each escorted more than [-] prisoners to their respective camps.

"Everyone step back!"

The army of five guards in the arc battle formation surrounded the mountains and forests in unison, like making dumplings, enclosing a hundred thousand troops with steel shields in a big circle.

Facing this kind of collapsed enemy army, the fifty thousand Tang army had no intention of killing the enemy, but shouted directly.

They couldn't help raising their heads, and huge black irons and arrows emitting white smoke fell into their army.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your teaching!"

Immediately, a wave of air was felt, and the guards on the periphery were shocked, and they all flew up.

"Humph!"

"Congratulations to Uncle Wang for defeating the rebels and returning in triumph!"

at the same time.

"The king of Jin has an order that those who surrender will not be killed..."

However, I was worried that those rebels would still have backhands around Chang'an City.Seeing that the general situation is over, it is not good to attack the king's Zhuangzi in order to vent his anger.

"Don't be surprised, Uncle Wang. After hearing the good news, the people around were very curious and ran out of the city. There are even many people from nearby villages who came here to welcome Uncle Wang and the generals. Sorry to drive away!"

"Boom boom~"

After looking at it for a long while, he didn't find anything. Ma Xi narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Let the dog go!"

The faces of the guards beside Li Yuanchang changed drastically. They took out their shields, and they ran away from Li Yuanchang, whose legs had already weakened from fright.

At this time, the cavalry rushed over from the city gate and shouted at the same time.

Li Xuan: "..."

Li Chengqian said embarrassedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"The king of Jin has an order that those who surrender will not be killed!"

Outside the forest, a school lieutenant walked over quickly and reported to Li Xuan.

With this kind of victory, all the generals are full of joy.

"It's good!"

However, those bombs and arrows seemed to have eyes, and they concentrated on their armored soldiers.

Li Xuan basically didn't need to care about the rest, those generals were much more professional than Li Xuan.

In Lijiazhuang, when Li Xuan led an army of [-] troops out of the city to attack the [-] bandits, he sent two personal guards to inform Ma Xi who was staying in the village.

When the bombing was over, the entire mountain forest was full of limbs and arms, like a hell on earth.

If you suddenly go crazy, you will suddenly turn over and attack Lijiazhuang.

"The king of Jin has ordered that the whole army attack!"

"Yes!"

As the guards untied the ropes around the dogs' necks, dozens of dogs jumped into the field and ran away.

However, before the little dog could run a few steps away, several figures sprang out from the distant field and quickly ran to the distance.
