Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 458

Chapter One Sixty

Li Shimin discovered the seriousness of the problem immediately.Although Longmen Canyon is not as severe as Hangu Road, it is precisely because of this that he underestimated the enemy and got into trouble.To make matters worse, the Xuanjia cavalry ran from Beiman Camp to Longmen, the distance between the north and the south was sixty or seventy miles. The Xuanjia cavalry followed Li Shimin's order and chased all the way. The whole army was exhausted.

If it is to deal with the broken soldiers who are frightened and fleeing in embarrassment, it will naturally be invincible.But after discovering that they were surrounded by heavy enemy troops, Li Shimin clearly noticed that the morale of the Xuanjia cavalry around him was frustrated, and many of them had expressions of fear on their faces.

The east and west are Daqingshan and Longmenshan respectively. The war horses can't move at all, they can only go south or retreat north.However, the formation of the Zheng army in the south is very thick. Although the night is thick and the sight is limited, but listening to the sound of footsteps, Li Shimin also knows that the opponent has at least 3 to [-] horses, and it is a long phalanx dedicated to restraining the Xuanjia cavalry. Rushing forward, there is only one end, that is, Xuanjia cavalry and Zhu Can's ogre army exchange lives for lives.

Li Shimin can count on exchanging the Xuanjia cavalry with the ogre army, let alone exchanging one for one, even if one for ten, Li Shimin feels at a loss.Speaking of the time, Li Shimin actually made a decision after only considering a few seconds (ten seconds).He quietly said to Zhai Changsun, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie and other generals beside him: "This king is going to hold Wang Shichong back, you wait for the opportunity to retreat!"

At this time, Li Shimin's prestige was reflected, Zhai Changsun, Hou Junji, and Duan Zhixuan said nothing, and gave orders to the Xuanjia cavalry around them in a low voice.

At this time, Cheng Zhijie said: "His Royal Highness, don't look down on me. My old Cheng is also a person who has fought hundreds of battles, big and small. I have seen many small scenes like this..." After speaking, Cheng Zhijie turned and looked at Qin Qiong: " Shubao, how can we say that we and their Wang family are also monarchs and ministers, so we can get together and break up, and see each other?"

Qin Qiong has a good relationship with Cheng Zhijie, and he immediately understood what Cheng Zhijie meant.Li Shimin is their new master. If Li Shimin really can't run away this time, even if they go back, they will probably be killed for a crime. After all, if Li Yuan dies another son, there will be no more lives in Luoyang city. people.

It's better to follow Li Shimin, live and die together, if they really die, it will be over, but once they can escape, they can squeeze into the decision-making level of Qin Palace and become the core figures.This business is small and big, it is worth doing!
Qin Shubao said: "Someone also has this idea, there are men who urinate three feet against the wind, yeah, will you be afraid of him?"

Li Shimin rode out on horseback, but Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong stood in front of Li Shimin like two generals.

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Wang Shichong saw Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie under the light of the fire, and his eyes were so angry that his eyes would burst into flames. He suppressed his anger and roared: "Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao, I have treated you Wagang Army well. How did you treat me?"

After all, Qin Qiong is a shameless person. In fact, Wang Shichong is right.Although it is a bit small for Qin Qiong to command a thousand soldiers and horses, Wang Shichong did not detain them at all for the treatment of the third-rank officials.Qin, Cheng, Niu, Xie, Zhang and other generals surrendered to Wang Shichong, and each of them was given a house no less than ten acres. How big is the entire Luoyang city?How many ten acres can there be?Qin Qiong abandoned Wang Shichong and surrendered to Li Shimin, which was really unethical.

However, when Qin Qiong hid his face in shame and was about to retreat, Cheng Zhijie said with a fake smile: "Wang Shichong, my old Cheng is a rough person, I have to say something to you, you are really not kind, my old Cheng is here At Wagang, they were equal to Xu Shiji, Qin Shubao, Shan Xiongxin, and Luo Shixin, but what about them, now that Lao Dan is dead (Cheng Zhijie doesn’t know the secret), Lao Xu and Lao Luo have all defected to Datang, especially Lao Shan. Xu, now it is the Zhu Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, Jiang Guogong, Zuo Wuhou General, but Lao Qin and I are in charge of a thousand soldiers and horses, they are the former Sui Yingji Lang generals, think of our old brothers as eagles Ji Lang will command you, and he also said that he is not mean to us, I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen you so brazen, open your eyes and say you are blind..."

Without saying a word, Zhu Can picked up an iron tire bow and aimed an arrow at Cheng Zhijie.

With a bang, a piercing sound rang out, breaking the sudden silence.

However, due to the distance, the arrow was already weak when it flew in front of Cheng Zhijie.Cheng Zhijie raised his horse and flicked it lightly, but the arrow flew to nowhere.

"It's really despicable to hurt someone with a stab in the back!" Li Shimin watched the Xuanjia cavalry slowly turn around, but it seemed that it would take a stick of incense to complete the collective turn.Li Shimin yelled: "Wang Shichong, is that what you can do? You have Zhu Can, don't make mistakes, what will happen to you if you follow Wang Shichong? Abandoning darkness and turning to light is the right way!"

Wang Shichong said: "Although your Tang army is strong, but in this Longmen Canyon, you Li Shimin have few soldiers. You have no hope of winning. Surrender!"

As he spoke, Wang Shichong pointed left and right, bursting out with strong self-confidence. "Now I have made all the preparations, and the strength of the army is ten times that of yours. If you continue to fight, you will definitely be wiped out by the entire army, and you will not be able to escape!"

In fact, as Wang Shichong said, for this decisive battle.He has indeed made very good preparations. In Luoyang City, he organized more than [-] young and strong people from the east and west cities. In order to make them work hard, he arrested these [-] young and strong family members Use the lives of these family members to threaten them to attack the Tang army camp.

Looking at all the nations in the world, only Chinese people value family and relatives the most, and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the lives of their relatives.Attracted by the more than [-] cannon fodder, Li Shimin didn't see through Wang Shichong's real intentions at all. When Li Shimin understood, he had already brought more than [-] core soldiers of the Jianghuai Army to complete the battle in Longmen Canyon. layout.

At this time, Wang Shichong had more than 3000 troops in Longmen Canyon, while Li Shimin had less than [-] Xuanjia cavalry (the army only had [-] troops in history), which was twelve times as many as Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said disapprovingly: "So what?"

Zhu Can said, "Your Majesty, Li Shimin will not surrender!"

Being rejected by Li Shimin was actually beyond Wang Shichong's expectation. Although Wang Shichong had a smile on his face, he couldn't hide his murderous intent: "Li Shimin, do you really think you can change the destiny?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "I'm not so arrogant yet. However, since I'm here, I'm here to annihilate your ogre army, the army of beasts, and I will never let you break into us like before. Burned, killed, looted, and slaughtered my compatriots, maybe I will be defeated, maybe I will die in battle, as long as we have a breath, someone will come forward, stand in front of you, and carry this fallen sky on their shoulders ! I'm not the first, and I won't be the last!"

The soldiers of the Xuanjia cavalry pursed their lips, still silent, but the hands holding the weapons became more and more forceful.Just when Li Shimin was full of enthusiasm, he suddenly let out a roar: "The rear team has changed to the front team, withdraw!"

The Xuanjia cavalry who had already completed their preparations turned their horses and galloped towards the rear.

Wang Xuanying was dumbfounded: "Li Shimin will also run away?"

"He is a human being, he will be injured if he is cut with a knife, and he will die if his head is lost!" Zhu Can chattered with a smile: "But unfortunately, they can't escape!"

Wang Shichong didn't even move, he looked at the Xuanjia cavalry quietly, and said with regret: "It's a pity for those good horses!"

Zhu Can said: "There will be good horses, as long as we enter Guanzhong, Li Tang's hundreds of thousands of horses in Longyou and Hehuang racecourses are all ours, and there are more than 200 million people in Guanzhong..."

Speaking of which, Zhu Can's eyes showed a wolf-like green light, he stretched out his blood-red tongue, and licked his lips: "Your Majesty, give Li Shimin to me, I will eat him, and see what he has with other people." no the same!"

The Xuanjia cavalrymen headed northward along the mountain path of Longmen Canyon.Li Shimin gave Wang Shichong a provocative look while galloping northward.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly felt something was wrong. Wang Shichong's reaction was too calm, so calm that it made people angry. Could it be that he had expected that he would run away without a fight?
Li Shimin's doubts are very reasonable, and Wang Shichong is indeed prepared.

Just when the cavalry of the brigade was about to leave the entrance of Longmen Canyon, suddenly dozens of Xuanjia cavalry in front plopped and fell off their horses like dumplings. Dozens of interest.

"Pfft..."

"Pfft..."

Like the sound of a big watermelon falling to the ground, the Xuanjia cavalry who charged behind couldn't hold back at all. As long as they watched the horses, relying on their own inertia, they knocked the robes that fell from the horses into the air, or knocked them into the air with the mouth of a bowl. The sound of hoofbeats hit their heads.

Zhai Changsun realized that something was wrong when he saw the situation, and shouted loudly: "Attention, there are barriers ahead!"

However, shouting at this time is of no use at all.

Not to mention that the hooves of those war horses trampled on the ground and made a sound like thunder, which had already suppressed Zhai Changsun's voice. Even if they could hear it, they had no time to react.At this time, the horse speed of the Xuanjia cavalry was even above [-] kilometers, or even reached [-] kilometers.

"thump……"

"thump……"

Like dumplings, Xuanjia cavalry fell to the horse.In just a few breaths of time, a total of six or seven hundred Xuanjia cavalry fell to the horses, and they fell into gourds rolling on the ground.

Looking at the Xuanjia cavalrymen who fell from their horses in such a large scale, Hou Junji behind him controlled the speed of the horses and managed to restrain the horses from their charge.

Although Zhai Changsun was good at equestrian skills, but because the horse behind couldn't handle it, he knocked his horse to the ground at once, so Zhai Changsun fell to the ground very tragically, and what was even more tragic was that he landed on his face first.

Zhai Zhangsun lost consciousness on half of his face in an instant, but when he was about to get up, he realized that there was a big puddle of sticky things on the ground. Although the six or seven hundred cavalrymen would bleed a lot when they fell down, Zhai The eldest grandson is very clear that this is not blood, but fierce fire oil.

Zhai Changsun shouted in full force: "No, back quickly!"

At this moment, densely packed torches sounded from the cliff of Longmen Mountain, and dozens of large fireballs burning with flames roared towards the bottom of the canyon.

At this time, Li Shimin had already rushed to the half of the canyon, and was watching dozens of fireballs about three feet flying towards the bottom of the canyon.

It turned out that as early as when all the Xuanjia cavalry entered the Longmen Canyon, there were more than [-] barrels of Zheng soldiers secretly ambushing on Longmen Mountain and Daqing Mountain, and more than [-] catties of stone fat water (that is, crude oil) were poured on the ground. exit of the canyon,
In fact, more than 25 catties is not much, but it is equivalent to more than [-] tons.These stone resin waters are from when Yang Guang was in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and built a workshop for producing ink in the East Palace.At that time, this kind of stone resin water became the main raw material for ink making due to the large smoke. If it was at its peak, Luoyang City actually had no less than [-] barrels of stone resin water, but now the stone resin water is less than two of the original inventory. One tenth.

However, only one-twentieth of this stone resin water was poured into the Longmen Canyon, and quickly formed a wall of fire that was as wide as the canyon and stretched more than a hundred steps.

The burning of 25 tons of crude oil set off a fire head tens of feet high, which can be clearly seen tens of miles away.

Almost a thousand Xuanjia cavalrymen were engulfed by the ruthless fire. These Xuanjia cavalrymen let out miserable screams. Li Shimin secretly thought that something was wrong when he saw the fire ahead.But when Li Shimin came to the valley, he was still shocked by this ruthless wall of fire. There was no way to rescue the soldiers who were caught in the sea of ​​fire.

The flames were tens of feet high, and there was an obvious scorching sensation two hundred steps away. Within a hundred steps, there was no way to get close at all. As time went by, the screams of the Xuanjia cavalry in the sea of ​​flames became weaker and weaker.

The disheartened Hou Junji came to Li Shimin with his head downcast.

Li Shimin looked around at the generals, and found that Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, and Lei Yongji were all there.But Zhai Changsun is the only one missing.

Li Shimin realized the seriousness of the problem, and bluffed and shouted, "Where is Zhai Changsun?"

Hou Junji and Duan Zhixuan were silent.

Lei Yongji said timidly: "Unfortunate General Zhai..."

Li Shimin felt that it was difficult to breathe, and at this moment, a rumbling sound came.

Li Shimin looked back and saw that Zheng Jun's soldiers were slowly oppressing them.

However, the ones walking in the front were not Zheng Jun soldiers, but two or three hundred chariots.

Li Shimin roared desperately: "Soldiers, my brothers, we are now cut off from the rear, Zheng Jun intends to drive us all to death, what should we do now?"

Cheng Zhijie shouted almost subconsciously: "Fight with the son of a bitch!"

Li Shimin turned the horse's head again, raised the horizontal knife, and slashed forward into the void, shouting: "Fight it!"

"Fight!"

The surviving Xuanjia cavalry turned their grief into strength, galloping their horses and swarming towards Zheng Jun's chariot formation.

PS: I went out to play for a day today, and I came back a little late, there will be more later!
