Man Tanghong

Chapter 75

After the guards got ready, Li Yuanji, carrying a bow and quiver, carrying a horizontal knife and a big gun, made a detour from the south and rushed to the northeast corner of Mingshui City.

On the way, I met two strong men who were also leading a team of soldiers and horses, preparing to detour from the south to the northeast corner of Mingshui City.

It was the first time Li Yuanji saw the two strong men, he was a little unfamiliar. After a few more glances, he realized who the two strong men were.

One is Wu Guang and the other is Niu Xiu.

Wu Guang also has a word that is more taboo now called black door.

Niuxiu also has a relatively well-known name called Jinda.

Niu Jinda is stronger than Wu Heita, and Wu Heita has more beards than Niu Jinda.

Both of them were born in Wagang, and descended to Datang with Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others.

When they saw Li Yuanji, they took the initiative to greet him.

After the ceremony between the two.

Wu Heikai clasped his fists and said: "Brothers Chen and Niu are ordered to follow His Highness down to raid the corridor, Your Highness please give orders."

Niu Jinda didn't seem to like words very much, so he just clenched his fists and said nothing.

Li Yuanji originally thought that Li Shimin asked him to take 500 people to attack the tunnel, but unexpectedly sent him reinforcements.

With the help of reinforcements, the results of the battle can be expanded and more credits can be obtained.

Immediately, Li Yuanji nodded and said, "I have nothing to say, just follow me closely."

Wu Heikai and Niu Jinda agreed together.

"Here!"

Wu Heita and Niu Jinda each brought 500 soldiers and horses, plus Li Yuanji's own soldiers and horses, that is [-] people.

With 500 people, the results that can be obtained are not small.

Li Yuanji didn't say much along the way, and he didn't go to have a relationship with Wu Heita and Niu Jindala. Wu Heita, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others were all from Wagang. At that moment, it has become a natural ally.

The vast majority of them have already firmly stood behind Li Shimin, and the others naturally also stood behind Li Shimin.

Get involved with one or two of them, and you get connected with all of them.

To build relationships with all of them, even if Li Shimin has a big stomach, he has to find him.

Although his current strength has grown a lot, he still can't stand Li Shimin's toss.

When Li Yuanji led Wu Heita and Niu Jinda to the northeast corner of Mingshui City, Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong had already led the troops from the west of Mingshui City to the northeast corner of Mingshui City, and entered the corridor.

Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong were very aggressive, so the enemy soldiers in the tunnel ran towards Li Yuanji.

"We'll stay at the entrance of the corridor and kill!"

Li Yuanji decisively ordered Wu Heita and Niu Jinda.

Since Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong blocked one end of the tunnel, there was no need for him to lead the soldiers and horses to rush in. He only needed to guard the entrance of the tunnel and wait for the enemy soldiers to come to the door.

Wu Heikai and Niu Jinda guessed Li Yuanji's intentions, agreed without hesitation, and led people to block the entrance of the corridor.

As soon as the enemy soldiers appeared, Wu Heita and Niu Jinda raised the butcher's knives without hesitation.

It is said that there is a war, but it is actually a massacre.

Those who had the guts to guard the tunnel all went to Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, and those who escaped from the tunnel were almost all scared and routed soldiers.

But even if it is a rout, as long as it does not surrender, it can only be killed.

Li Yuanji didn't go to the entrance of the corridor to fight with Wu Heita and Niu Jinda. He brought a hundred guards and stood not far from the entrance of the corridor, killing the enemies with bows and crossbows.

He used a hard bow, which was powerful and lethal, so he focused on taking care of the generals among the enemy soldiers.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Arrows are like shooting stars.

Sishi's bow was like a toy in Li Yuanji's hands, and it was easily pulled away.

He shot ten arrows in one breath without taking a breath.

Li Yuanji found that his strength seemed to have increased again.

"The descendants do not kill!"

After Wu Heikai and Niu Jinda had been fighting for a while, they felt that the heat was almost ready, so they shouted immediately.

In an instant, countless enemy soldiers in the tunnel dropped their weapons and knelt down to ask for surrender.

After Wu Heikai and Niu Jinda asked Li Yuanji for instructions, they left 200 people behind and led the rest into the corridor.

Li Yuanji didn't go in because Wu Heita and Niu Jinda didn't invite him in.

No one knows what is going on in the tunnel.

If there is a crossbow formation, it is easy to shoot a person into a sieve.

Wu Heita and Niu Jinda didn't dare to let him follow him in to take risks.

He also didn't want to go in and make trouble for others.

People with high status have to be a little self-aware on the battlefield.

Leading the charge can boost morale, but it also distracts the soldiers from taking care of your safety.

When fighting against the wind, in order to boost morale, you have to take the lead in the charge, which is also understandable.

When you are fighting with the wind, if you run out to take the lead in the charge, you are murdering the lives of the soldiers.

You rushed madly, killed a few enemies, and it was cool.

However, in order to help you resist the hidden arrows shot from the dark, many soldiers may have to die.

After all, as long as the enemy is not stupid, he will definitely choose the person with the highest status to shoot and kill on the battlefield.

The battle in the tunnel lasted for two full hours.

Liu Heitai ran away the moment Li Shimin led the army to appear.

Those who stayed in the corridor were mostly those who had no time to run.

The tunnel is just a battlefield.

It is impossible for Li Shimin to put all his soldiers and horses into the battlefield of the corridor.

When he attracted Liu Heita to Mingshui City, he had a complete battle plan.

Only the troops led by Li Yuanji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Wu Heitai, and Niu Jinda were fighting in the tunnel. The food and grass left in the camp.

The troops of Li Yi and Du Fuwei also blocked Liu Heita's retreat from both sides.

Before the road was blocked by heavy snow, Li Yi had already led his troops to Mingzhou, where he joined Li Shimin.

Du Fuwei's men also touched Liu Heita's side before the heavy snow blocked the road.

The three-sided offensive was planned in Chang'an City.

Li Shimin just used Mingshui City as a bait to choose a battlefield that was beneficial to him.

On the battlefield you choose, if you attack the enemy from three sides, it is basically impossible for the enemy to turn around.

"Your Highness!"

After the battle in the tunnel was over, Su Dingfang rushed out of the tunnel excitedly holding two heads.

Li Yuanji was taken aback when he saw Su Dingfang, "Aren't you in Mingshui City?"

Su Dingfang said with a bright smile: "I saw the reinforcements arrived and were fighting in the tunnel, so I used wooden boards as a bridge, climbed from the city wall to the tunnel, and got two big bargains."

Said, Su Dingfang raised two heads.

Li Yuanji sized up the two heads that were still bleeding, and asked, "Whose?"

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "One belongs to Cui Yuanxun, and the other belongs to Zhou Wenju."

Li Yuanji is happy, it's really two big bargains.

These two were the people who assassinated the governor of Datang after Liu Heitai's rebellion, took the head of the governor of Tang Dynasty, and ran to attach himself to Liu Heitai.

In Li Yuan's place, these two were already on the must-kill list.

Su Ding was able to get the heads of these two people, and when he got to Li Yuan's place, at least he could change him.

Su Ding was able to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and helped Datang clean up the traitors with his own hands, which was very much to Li Yuan's appetite.

"Put it away, and go back to Chang'an City. I will go to my father to ask for credit for you."

Li Yuanji said with a smile.

Su Dingfang strives for his own strength, if he can help, naturally he has to help.

As Su Dingfang's rank of nobility rises, his official position will naturally follow, and he will be able to take up important positions earlier and contribute a lot to him.

"I want to dedicate them to Your Highness!"

Su Dingfang handed the two heads to Li Yuanji without hesitation.

Li Yuanji said dumbfoundedly: "These two heads are just icing on the cake for me, but they are of great use to you."

Su Dingfang knew what these two heads could exchange for him in Datang, but he still decided to dedicate them to Li Yuanji.

"Your Highness appreciates your ministers and entrusts them with important responsibilities, and you must repay them."

Su Dingfang said seriously.

Su Dingfang felt that when he first entered Li Yuanji's command, Li Yuanji entrusted him with a heavy responsibility before he made any contribution, and he had to respond, otherwise he would be a little sorry for Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji felt that Su Dingfang might not know what these two heads could bring him, so he couldn't help reminding: "It is very likely that these two heads can be exchanged for another..."

Su Dingfang's expression didn't change at all, and he still held his two heads.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji understood.

Su Dingfang knows what these two heads can be exchanged for, but he still wants to dedicate these two heads to him, which is determined.

If he doesn't accept Su Dingfang's kind words, Su Dingfang is afraid that he will be unhappy.

"Forget it, let's make a compromise. Zhou Wenju's head belongs to me, and Cui Yuanxun's head belongs to you."

Li Yuanji discussed with Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang hesitated for a while, then nodded.

Li Yuanji took Zhou Wenju's head with a smile, handed it to the guards, and asked the guards to clean it up and put it on.

All the important heads obtained on the battlefield will be gathered together and sent to Chang'an City to praise their achievements after the battle is over.

The period in between is long, so it has to be cleaned up.

Li Yuanji didn't know how to clean up, but someone among the guards did.

Su Dingfang wasn't so particular about it, he hung Cui Yuanxun's head on his waist, and he just handed it in when he reported his meritorious service.

Just after Su Dingfang hung Cui Yuanxun's head on his waist, there was a sound of horseshoes in the corridor.

Accompanied by Wu Heita and Niu Jinda, Yu Chigong rushed out of the corridor on horseback.

Shout out after leaving the corridor.

"Where is the guy who snatched Zhou Wenju's head from me? Hand over Zhou Wenju's head quickly!"

Yu Chigong was very angry. He led the people to fight in the tunnel, and finally reached Zhou Wenju. He was about to capture Zhou Wenju. Unexpectedly, at this time, a man in armor led a group of people from the tunnel. Jumping down, he pierced Zhou Wenju with a spear, chopped off Zhou Wenju's head, and ran away.
