Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 457

Chapter [-] Li Shimin Underestimates the Enemy and Ambush
"The enemy attacked the camp overnight, and all units are preparing for battle!" In the camp of the Tang Army in Beimang, Lei Yongji walked from front to back, and shouted: "His Royal Highness Qin has orders... Those who speak lies and make noise will be killed... Those who raise fire without authorization...Leave the team privately Those who cut..."

The soldiers of the Tang army silently prepared their equipment, bows and crossbows were stringed, knives were unsheathed, and spears and spears were ready for battle.

Holding the torches, the generals of the Zheng army roared, rushing towards the camp of the Tang army in Beimang.

Standing on the gate tower of Anximen, Wang Xuanying looked at the backs of the densely packed Zheng army officers and soldiers, turned his head and pushed Wang Renze, and said, "This... can I hide it from Li Shimin??"

Wang Renze actually had no idea about these words: "Now our Wang family has no other choice but to fight. But since we are pretending, we have to pretend like it. Li Shimin is not a rookie who is not familiar with military affairs, and he abandoned the city with torches in disorder. Fleeing, it would be too obvious, if the whole army left the city overnight in an orderly manner, he would be fooled instead!"

Wang Xuan replied: "This is what His Majesty said?"

"That's what I said!" Wang Renze sneered: "I want to see if Li Shimin is in vain. Our Wang family is not the Xiqin Xue family." Then, he waved his hand and ordered: "Let's go!" !"

If you look down from the sky, you will find that Luoyang City is like an ancient monster crawling on the ground. Its big mouth has been opened.

Zheng Jun's formation headed south all the way. Wang Shichong, dressed in gold armor, rode his horse and led the army at the forefront.

Ambushed at Jianguo Gate in the south of Luoyang City (named in the Sui Dynasty, what was the name in Wang Shichong's period can't be found) Tang Jun scouts watched Zheng Jun's queue from a distance.

A scout got on his horse and said to the scout beside him, "Hurry up and report to His Royal Highness, the Zheng army has withdrawn from Nancheng!"

……

The night is as dark as ink, and at a glance, there are torches and human heads. In front of the Tang army camp in Beiman, many Zheng army soldiers rushed to the camp. The Tang army soldiers kept throwing arrows into the night sky, and Zheng army soldiers kept falling. The people who were still alive ran or climbed. The slopes of Beimang Mountain were full of broken stones and thorns. Before climbing halfway, the clothes of the soldiers of the Zheng army were already scratched, but it was this kind of flesh and blood that opened the way for the latecomers.

"I didn't expect Wang Shichong to dare to work hard!" Cheng Zhijie looked at the scene in front of him, feeling a little bit emotional.

Qin Qiong frowned and said: "Wang Shichong is not a son of an aristocratic family, his status is paved with flesh and blood, if he dare not work hard, can he have the status he has today?"

Within a stone's throw of the camp wall is Li Shimin's Chinese army commander's platform.Li Shimin was very puzzled at this time. He had never seen a night attack with torches. In this kind of night, the generals of the Zheng army could not take advantage of it. In just a quarter of an hour, at least two to three thousand people fell on the charge. On the road, the generals of the Zheng Army have not even touched the edge of the Tang Army's camp.

Li Shimin knew that Wang Shichong was not a fool, but why did Wang Shichong do this?Could it be that he thinks there are too many troops and wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?Li Shimin sighed and said, "Are these people attacking the camp now real elites or fake elites?"

Due to the distance, Li Shimin could see clearly, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui couldn't see clearly.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly ordered: "Move the Chinese army forward!"

Li Shimin is not a Confucian general, he is a real military general, who belongs to the kind of general who can shoot the enemy with an arrow and chop people with a knife.

Fang Xuanling persuaded: "His Royal Highness, the sword has no eyes!"

Du Ruhui said, "His Royal Highness King Qin won't listen!"

"Haha..." Li Shimin laughed loudly: "It's better to understand Gu." When Li Shimin came to the front line in person, he immediately discovered the problem. Li Shimin found that there were some expressions on the faces of Zheng Jun soldiers, not fearless , not ferocious, but fearful.What's going on in Li Shimin's head popped up, and then, judging from the actions of these people, they didn't seem to be long-term soldiers with proficient combat skills.

"Could it be...these are all cannon fodder troops? They were forced to attack because there was a greater danger behind and forced them to rush over?" The fierce battle did not allow Li Shimin to find the answer, even if the other party was forced, it would be difficult There is no room for mercy at all, the only way to deal with it is——

Kill, kill, kill!

The night wind became stronger and stronger.

More and more officers and soldiers of the Zheng army fell in front of the Tang camp, and when there were almost 4000 people suddenly, Li Shimin finally understood what was going on.Lei Yongji brought the scout to Li Shimin.Scout B is quickly reporting: "His Royal Highness, the Zheng army has retreated from the Jianguo Gate, the southern city gate of Luoyang. Their queue is not chaotic, noisy, and fire-free. They are in order..."

When Cheng Zhijie heard this, he immediately cursed: "The old thief Wang Shichong is so cunning...he is in danger of being deceived by him!"

Qin Qiong rolled his eyes at Cheng Zhijie and said, "You just met Wang Shichong on the first day!"

Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "It seems that Zheng Jun still has the strength to fight!"

Li Shimin sneered, and said disapprovingly: "Wang Shichong is just superfluous, pretending to be smart."

Cheng Zhijie pretended to be unbelievable and said: "Isn't it? The old thief Wang Shichong resorted to such a strategy of attacking north and attacking south. My old Cheng never thought of it..."

Li Shimin said: "External appearances are real, but interiors must have falsehoods. Withdrawing troops overnight is a big taboo for military strategists. Now there is still order. I ran three miles away to see again. If there is no fire in the dark, the soldiers will not be able to see the road clearly, so they must be flustered. , the ones behind always want to go to the front, and the ones in the front want to go faster, you chase me, I chase you, within two hours, the whole army is bound to be in chaos..."

Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized: "That's how it is!"

Li Shimin waved his hand: "The generals listen to the order..."

Li Shimin grabbed a handful of command arrows with a clatter and threw them out: "Wang Shichong now has only one lonely city left. Now that old Wang Shichong wants to escape, he has only this army left by his side. As long as they are defeated, the fertile Central Plains will be destroyed." Our Datang is gone.——All ministries—”

All the generals stood up together, and the armor leaves rattled.

Li Shimin roared: "All the generals, each under their jurisdiction, will divide into joint attacks and attack with fire - no matter whether it is a direct pursuit or a roundabout outflank, they must take the main road, and will never leave an opportunity for Zheng Jun to take advantage of it -"

The generals clasped their hands together and said, "Obey!"

Li Shimin said: "This is a pursuit battle, my strategy only has three words - hurry! hurry! hurry!"

The generals clasped their hands together and said, "Obey!"

At this time, the generals of the Zheng army who stormed the Tang army camp in Beimang like a tide had receded like a tide, leaving four or five thousand mutilated corpses in front of the Tang army camp.

……

Chen Ying was exhausted and ran to dozens of places in a day.But Chen Ying didn't know that now he was the Great General Zuo Yuwei of the Tang Dynasty, and also the appeasement envoy of the Henan Province Economic Strategy. The entire territory of Wang Shichong was now under Chen Ying's management.However, Tiger Yicong just sent back the news that Hou Mo Chen Qianhui received Li Yuan's summons, and implicitly expressed to Hou Mo Chen Qianhui that he hoped he would accept it.

The so-called Nacai is one of the six wedding ceremonies in ancient China, that is, the man asks a matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose marriage.

But this level has been saved, Pei Ji volunteered to be Chen Ying's Iceman.Now the procedure of the Sixth Ceremony has actually passed the questioning of names, and it has reached the level of Najib.Najib, that is, after the man retrieves the woman's name and horoscope, he performs divination in the ancestral temple.

This level, in Chen Ying's view, gave the man some chances to regret the marriage. If he didn't want to get married, then he would make bad excuses and reject the marriage.

Hou Mo and Chen Qian asked Tiger Yi to notify Chen Ying, which was actually a matter of procedure.Chen Ying's attitude towards Li Xiuning was definitely a lice on the bald man's head, it was obvious.

When Chen Ying heard the news, he was so happy that he almost passed out.At that time, Chen Ying had a big drink with Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei, Zhang Shigui and others.

When Chen Ying fell into a drowsy sleep, Guo Luo pushed Chen Ying aside.But at this time, Chen Ying was drinking too much and couldn't wake up no matter how hard he pushed, but Guo Luo didn't dare to use force.

But the messenger was sent by Beiwei Army, and the messenger almost jumped up in a hurry.

Just when Guo Luo was in a dilemma, the light in Li Xiuning's room next door turned on.After a while, He Yue'er came in and asked about something.

The messenger faltered and said: "It's urgent, please ask the general to make up his mind, if it's too late, I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Qin will be in danger!"

Upon hearing this, He Yue'er hurried back to the room to report to Li Xiuning.

When Li Xiuning heard that it was about Li Shimin's safety, she didn't dare to neglect.In fact, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng fought, but the most difficult one in the middle was Li Xiuning. As the saying goes, the palm of the hand is fleshy and the back of the hand is also fleshy.

Li Xiuning came to Chen Ying's bedroom and watched Chen Ying sleep soundly.He rushed to the attendants on the left and right and said: "Bring a bucket of cold water and wake up!"

"Wake up..." Luo Shixin happened to get up at night, and heard these words when he entered the door.I couldn't help mourning for Chen Ying in my head. It seemed that even if Chen Ying's dream came true in the future, he would probably be a wives.

How dare Chen Ying's personal guards!

In the hearts of all the soldiers, Chen Ying is definitely a well-deserved military god. As for Li Shimin, he has to stand aside.

Although others dare not, it does not mean that He Yue'er dare not.

He Yue'er took a bucket of cold water in a short while, and poured it on Chen Ying's head.

Chen Ying shuddered in an instant. When Chen Ying opened his eyes, what came into Chen Ying's eyes was the kind of beautiful face that was shining crystal clear by the fire, and the star-studded eyes exuded a deep and blurred look. , I felt that this face was so beautiful, the eyes were extremely charming, and a faint fragrance came to my nose.

Seeing Li Xiuning for the first time, Chen Ying stood there in a daze, muttering to himself: "I must be dreaming, dreaming."

"Pfft, I was dumbfounded again!" He Yue'er stood behind Li Xiuning with a lantern in her hand, seeing the expression on Chen Ying's face clearly, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Oh," Chen Ying finally came to his senses at this time, and asked Li Xiuning in a serious manner, "Why is San Niang here, and what happened?"

At this time, the messenger saw that Chen Ying was awake, and hurriedly handed over the secret letter in his hand to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying opened the secret letter for a look, and immediately exclaimed, "Dragon Gate?"

Li Xiuning hurriedly asked, "What happened to Longmen?"

Longmen is the natural gateway to the south of Luoyang, where the Fragrant Hills and Longmen Mountains face each other on both sides of the bank, and the Iraqi River flows, looking like a natural gate from a distance.Therefore, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has been given a figurative title "Yique".Yang Guang established Luoyang as his capital. Because the gate of the palace city faced Yique, and the ancient emperors regarded themselves as the emperors of real dragons, it was named "Longmen", and the name "Longmen" has been used to this day.

Everyone may think that Longmen Canyon is a famous scenic spot, but it is undeniable that this is still an excellent ambush location. The Beiwei army accidentally discovered that Wang Shichong had ambushed an elite army in Longmen Canyon.

We talk about this elite army because this elite army is very famous, although the reputation of this army is very bad, it can be said that it is notorious.The founder of this army is the famous ogre demon Zhu Can (you can search for details, this book is a set, so I won’t introduce much). How many people was eaten by this ogre army has not been given an exact figure in history. , but Chen Ying knew that if a dog eats people, it will become a mad dog. Such a dog is three points more powerful than an ordinary dog.

But this is an army that has eaten people, and it is quite fierce.

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning yelled at almost the same time: "It's not good Li Shimin (His Royal Highness Qin Wang)"

Li Xiuning said to He Yue'er, "Get your horse ready!"

Looking at Li Xiuning who rushed out in a hurry, he was really worried about letting Li Xiuning go alone.Reluctantly, he said to Luo Shixin, Shigui and Ashina Simo: "Hook and Sickle Lancers, all gather, prepare for a quarter of an hour, and set off immediately after a quarter of an hour!"

……

With torches on, Li Shimin finally caught up with Wang Shichong's rear team in Longmen Canyon, and the Tang cavalry led by Li Shimin began to chase and kill Zheng Junjun.

The retreating Zheng Jun began to scatter, shouting and fleeing in all directions.

On the main road, armor and parcels discarded by Zheng Jun soldiers were everywhere.

The soldiers of the Tang army stopped to pick up their belongings one after another, and the team suddenly became chaotic.A cavalryman of the Tang army knelt down to pick up an iron armor, and was looking at it with his hands outstretched, but was chopped down by a black armored cavalry from behind.

The brigade of Xuanjia cavalry came up from behind one after another, and chopped down the cavalry who were out of formation to pick up things.

Li Shimin rushed up with his personal guard cavalry, followed by Zhai Changsun, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Niu Junda, Hou Junji and other generals.Li Shimin only glanced at it, and said with a sneer: "This kind of pediatric trick has also been used. Wang Shichong is at the end of his rope..."

Li Shimin deserved to be slapped in the face as if he had just finished speaking. At this moment, the sound of "dong dong dong" war drums suddenly sounded in front of the road.

Li Shimin's face darkened instantly, and all the generals looked towards the end of the road.

In the distance, under the moonlight, there are rows of things shining, the sound of clattering nail leaves, and the sound of uniform footsteps...

At the end of the road, a phalanx of Zheng Jun's armored infantry was slowly pressing up along the road. Behind the phalanx, there was a large "Zhu" character on a general's flag.

Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "Wang Shichong, is there any general named Zhu?"

Du Ruhui thought for a while, and his face changed drastically: "The cannibal devil Zhu Can."

Under the moonlight, Zheng Jun's armored infantry phalanx moved slowly with uniform steps.

Li Shimin turned his head to look left and right, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.On the cliffs on the left and right flanks, densely packed crossbowmen appeared.

On the cliff of Longmen Mountain, several generals came out of the formation of Zheng Jun. The first general in blue armor shouted coldly: "Son Li Shimin, get off your horse and surrender, yeah I'll give you a whole corpse..."
