Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 71 The Battle of Minzhou (5)

"Your Highness, Your Highness," Cheng Chumo ran up to Li Chengqian out of breath, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, when the last general seized the gate, he heard that two thousand captured brothers were detained here, so he ordered people to search for them after the war. , and found that they were in the dungeon in Kansai."

Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this. If he wanted to say that what he lacked most right now was troops, how could he not be excited if 2000 people came out out of nowhere: "Then why don't you release them all quickly and screen them immediately."

"Your Highness, everyone has been released and is being screened now, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Stupid, what are you talking about, lead the way." Li Chengqian kicked Cheng Chumo, who was smiling, and scolded with a smile.

When Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo arrived at the Kansai Dungeon, some of the soldiers in the Eastern Palace were busy boiling water and cooking, and some were bandaging them. The Tang soldiers who were rescued had smiles on their faces, thinking that they were not killed. To die is to be sold to Tuyuhun as a slave for life.

But they never expected that the imperial army would come to rescue them.

Li Chengqian walked to a wounded soldier and squatted down, tore off a corner of his robe to help him wrap his arm. "Take good care of your wounds, and fight those savages after you recover."

The wounded soldier didn't know Li Chengqian, he just saw that he was wearing the armor of a general, struggled to get up and said: "General, the injury is not serious in a lowly position, and he can still go to battle to kill the enemy, so as to wash away the shame of being captured."

"Okay, it's no loss that he is my Tang Jun's good boy."

Li Chengqian walked on the high platform and said to the generals: "Brothers, Li Chengqian, my palace, has been added as the supervisor of Xikaidao. I was ordered by the general manager Qin Qiong to seize the Tiemen Pass. Now the main force of our army is attacking Minzhou with all its strength, and it will not come back soon." .”

Hearing that the army was attacking Minzhou, all the soldiers rejoiced, and the slogan of Datang Wansheng was deafening.Li Chengqian beckoned to everyone, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

"Brothers are all warriors who know that Tiemen Pass is the only way for the enemy to retreat to Taozhou. To seize this place is to cut off their retreat. It is precisely because this is the enemy's seven inches, so we must die pinch it.

Whether it is the enemy fleeing from Minzhou or the enemy troops coming from Taozhou to increase their personnel, they will attack here frantically.

Although none of Bengong's subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death, they are still hard to beat with two fists.So I want you to go to battle again and join me in avenging the soldiers and civilians who died in Minzhou.Are you willing to avenge your dead fathers and brothers? "

The soldiers standing below were very surprised to learn that the prince who led the troops to rescue them was the prince of the current dynasty. They still understood the reason why the son of a daughter can't sit down.

People who are princes are not afraid of death, so what is there to be afraid of, the Chouqiuba who was captured before.

Besides, who doesn't know that General Qin Shubao is the God of War in the Tang army, with General Qin, those local chickens and dogs are of course no problem, and we men will follow the prince to suffer for a few more days.

At that time, not only will they be able to avenge those brothers, but they will also be able to wash away the shame of being captured.

"Your Highness, brothers are willing to follow His Highness to kill those sons of bitches in Tuyuhun."

"Yes, Your Highness, you are willing to risk your life, and we are not afraid of death."

"Your Highness, don't worry, as long as the brothers still have breath, they will never let the enemy step into the Iron Gate Officer."
After appeasing the captured soldiers, Li Chengqian looked at the statistics of the scribes. There were 100 captured soldiers and more than 500 wounded soldiers who could not go to battle. In this way, Li Chengqian had less than [-] troops in his hands. Not a lot, but still worth fighting for.

Qin Huaiyu: "Your Highness, I found two dilapidated trebuchets in the pass. Fortunately, they can still be used. Now the ice surface of Taohe River and the bridge have been destroyed. I believe the direction of Taozhou has already noticed."

"It doesn't matter, they should know when the smoke rises, and they can't hide. Huaiyu, you immediately organize all the troops to go to the defense, crossbow arrows, rolling wood, thunder stone, golden juice, everything that can be used by the guards will be given to the palace Send it up."

"Chumo, you have chopped up all those captives. We don't have much food, and we don't know how long we will be guarding. If there is something for them to eat, then find a spacious place to house the wounded soldiers." .”

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, the two agreed to leave.

The conversation was divided into two parts. Xie Yingdeng and Luo Cheng sat outside the camp facing the west. They have been restless these days. In their view, Li Chengqian has no need to take this risk. Wouldn't it be good to be his supervisor?

"I don't know how your Highness is doing."

Luo Cheng sighed, picked up the stone beside him and threw it out viciously, but just like that, Luo Cheng's hand couldn't fall down.

"What's the matter?" Xie Yingdeng asked lazily.

"Look, brother Xie, wolf smoke, three strands of wolf smoke, Your Highness has succeeded." Xie Yingdeng looked in the direction Luo Cheng was pointing at, took a breath, and then was overjoyed. He stood up and pulled Luo Chengcheng to the camp. .

Luo Cheng ran into the commander's tent and said to Qin Shubao who was scratching his head: "Commander, three waves of smoke rise from the direction of the iron gate. Your Highness the Crown Prince has succeeded."

"Then what are you waiting for, immediately beat the drums and gather the generals."

After a stick of incense, all the officers above the general of Xikaidao gathered in the commander's tent, waiting for the order from the chief officer.

Qin Shubao scanned the generals and said: "Generals, Tiemen Pass has been occupied by our army, and His Royal Highness doesn't have much troops, so our army must start attacking immediately."

"Order: The former army commander Xie Yingdeng immediately launched a general attack on the defenders of Erlang Mountain, and must capture the Yunv Peak before dark. After capturing the Yunv Peak, General Luo Cheng led the cavalry to attack Minzhou immediately, and the main force of the army followed.

In addition, two piles of wolf smoke were lit, and the prince and Hou Junji would proceed according to the original battle plan after receiving them. "

After Qin Shubao's order was issued, all the generals in the tent stood up one after another to receive the order.

Qin Shubao: "Brothers, as the crown prince of a country, His Royal Highness should set an example for us. Whether the battle of Minzhou can be successful depends on today. Today, the commander-in-chief personally supervised the battle, at the foot of Erlang Mountain looking at you.

Let's see how you repay the emperor's kindness. Anyone who loses in the battle will be beheaded on the spot.No matter how many people die, Minzhou must be taken down for me. If the soldiers die, you fill them in. If you die, I will fill them in. "

"The last general must fight to the death and rest until death." After Xie Yingdeng finished speaking, all the generals in the tent shouted in unison.

The Tang army's attack also surprised the Tuyuhun army. In the past few days, the Tang army has been lying softly, retreating after a few hits.

What's the matter today, everyone seems to have taken medicine, they don't dodge the arrows that are shot, and rush forward desperately.

Yin Yuan stripped off his arms, holding a knife in one hand and a large shield in the other hand, and rushed into the battle formation with a roar to block the east and west, and there was no enemy for a while. They all screamed and rushed up.

In just two hours, the [-] Tuyuhun defenders in Touzhai were completely beheaded.
