First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 335 Ambush
...

Hearing Lu Deyong's doubts, Jiang Baoyi couldn't help laughing, "Ambassador Gao is nearly twenty years old, almost the same age as Lu Ziyu. Presumably when Mr. Lu came to Lingnan, Ambassador Gao was just a child."

Lu De was shocked when he heard the words, and his superior demeanor immediately broke his defenses, "You are so good at such an age? Deputy Jiang, please don't lie to me."

"When Guizhou is broken, Mr. Lu will know it as soon as he sees it," Jiang Baoyi smiled while wiping the spear.

Lu De looked up to the sky and sighed: "Thinking of my Lu family's children, I have spent more than ten years in the south of the Five Ridges, and the people in the Central Plains have become so amazing."

As soon as the words fell, the scouts rushed to report: "The enemy army has arrived two miles away."

"Prepare to meet the enemy," Jiang Baoyi immediately suppressed his smile, and ordered emphatically, Tang Jun quickly moved into action and resumed their respective deployments.

Seeing this scene, Lu De used to exclaim in admiration: "Ordinances and prohibitions are really a strong army."

In the mountain road under the ridge, [-] soldiers rushed all the way.

On horseback, Li Guangdu felt the scorching sun above his head, and while fanning the wind, he scolded, "Why didn't He Bin report the road conditions? There is no military discipline at all."

"It must have been safe and sound all the way, so I didn't report back." The Liao Jiang beside him tore off his collar and said, "This is a good thing. If you are ambushed, you will report it."

When Li Guangdu heard it, he smiled, "What you said makes sense, you know you have used your brain, not bad."

Liao Jiang wiped his sweat and grinned. While wiping his sweat, Liao dazzled his eyes, unconsciously stretched out his hands to cover them, and cursed, "What dazzled my eyes?"

"What eyes?" Li Guangdu asked casually when he heard the words while he was drinking from a water bag.

General Liao pointed to the ridge on the left, and said honestly, "Something flashed by over there, which is very dazzling."

Li Guangdu paused when he heard the words, then his face changed, and he shouted: "Be careful, meet the enemy".

After the voice fell, only the sound of piercing through the air could be heard, dense arrows were shot down from the mountains on both sides, and large and small stones were thrown from obliquely above.

The long-bearded man in a red robe was Tang Jun's key caretaker, and a large number of arrows were shot at him.

"Chiefs be careful."

"Protect the Chief".

Li Guangdu's personal guards and the generals beside him shouted loudly, protecting Li Guangdu tightly in the middle.

Immediately, the guards were killed and wounded, and the short and stout general was shot with several arrows. Fortunately, he was wearing iron armor and the distance was far away, so the arrows were weak and the injuries were not serious.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the Liao soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Li Guangdu was among the crowd, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Jiang Baoyi raised his gun and shouted, "Kill", and then led his men straight down the mountain.

Tang Jun on the left and right mountains rushed down condescendingly, unstoppable.

Li Guangdu fell from his horse, and was pressed by several people again, he was a little out of breath, he tried his best to push away the body of his bodyguard, after he calmed down a bit, seeing the surrounding situation, Li Guangdu was extremely frightened and furious.

"Don't mess up, meet the enemy," Li Guangdi drew his sword and shouted, "there are not many enemy troops, and the one who retreats will die."

The short and strong Liao chopped off the arrow tail pierced in front of his chest with a single knife, raised his knife and charged, "You guys kill me".

Under the leadership of Li Guangdu and this Liao general, the panic-stricken Liao people became a little calmer and fought back with troops.

Looking at the hundreds of cavalry behind him, Jiang Baoyi raised his gun and shouted: "Pierce through".

"Wan Sheng", although there are only more than a hundred cavalry, but the momentum at this time is no less than a thousand troops.

On this narrow mountain road down the ridge, like an arrow from the string, it plunged into the formation of Liao people.

Most of the Liao people are short in stature, and they are infantry. Strong men and horses charge forward, and the impact force of the loss is far greater than the actual lethality. Overwhelmed.

Five thousand against three thousand five, among them the Tang army waited for work with ease, and there were more than a hundred elite cavalry charging into the formation. Li Guangdu's intensive study of the art of war in recent years was of no avail at this time.

The imagined scene of fighting each other for several hours did not appear.

In fact, in the era of cold weapons, this kind of wild fighting, after the real battle broke out, the fighting time is not long, and the victory and defeat are often quickly and easily determined.

Factors such as the number of troops, the strength of the combat power, the level of morale, and the quality of equipment, etc., once the battle starts, when the two sides meet hand-to-hand, it is easy to distinguish the superior from the inferior.

In terms of military strength, the Tang army is superior in numbers.

In terms of combat power, the Tang army is powerful.

In terms of morale, the morale of the Tang army is high.

In terms of equipment, the Tang Army has excellent armor.

What's more, the Tang army is ambushing, and the Liao people are rushing to help the old nest.

The victory or defeat was decided the moment Jiang Baoyi rushed to the battle.

When Li Guangdu saw the cavalry rushing towards him, he also had a terrified expression. It's not that he has never seen cavalry before, and he also has hundreds of cavalry under his command, which are very precious.

But Tang Qi was so powerful, Li Guangdu had only seen it under the command of the Great General Zhou of the Sui Dynasty. He was defeated in that battle, and was captured alive in the Sui camp to kneel down and worship General Zhou. Not repeat.

"Chief, retreat quickly", Liao Jiang shouted to bring Li Guangdu back to his senses?
Li Guangdu immediately ordered: "The whole army draws closer to me and retreats quickly."

"The one who took your head is Tianshui Jiang Songye," Jiang Baoyi looked stern, twisted the spear in his hand, and stabbed at the general.

That Liao general was one of the best warriors among the Liao people in Guizhou. He held a long and thin knife in his hand, which looked a bit like a ritual knife, but it was sharper and held in both hands.

Seeing Jiang Baoyi rushing towards him, Liao clenched his long saber with both hands, let out a low shout, and rushed straight towards him.

Jiang Baoyi's eyes froze, and he quickly picked up the spear in his hand, only to hear a bang, and General Liao staggered to one side and fell to the ground.

It turned out that the General Liao was hacking at the horse's leg with a knife, but Jiang Baoyi's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick, and he used the tip of his spear to block it. Jiang Baoyi's arms were already powerful, but with the help of horsepower, the strength was so great that he immediately knocked the General Liao back to the ground.

Liao turned over, quickly got up, his hands were already fighting, the blood was gurgling, wiped the blood, and he clenched his long knife and rushed towards Jiang Baoyi again.

"Leader Chief, let's go."

Jiang Baoyi was quite moved, and he patted his horse forward, the spear in his hand was like a dragon coming out of the water, and the tip of the spear shone dazzlingly against the sun.

Liao squinted his eyes, then let out a muffled grunt, released his strength from both hands, and the long knife fell to the ground, looking down, he saw that the point of the spear had pierced his chest.

"Yu, so it's this that dazzled my eyes..." General Liao grinned, with blood foaming from his mouth.

Jiang Baoyi drew out his gun, and Liao Jiang fell to the ground on his back, staring straight at the scorching sun in the sky, this time, he didn't squint.

"The heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are here", Jiang Baoyi flicked his spear, blood dripped, "surrender to avoid death".

Seeing that the famous general at 48 Dongzhai died in battle after just two moves, the Liao people were terrified, they looked left and right but they didn't see the person in charge, the chief and commander disappeared, and it seemed that some people abandoned their troops and surrendered.

"General, that fellow Li Guangdu has run away," exclaimed the guards around him as they patrolled the battlefield.

"Straight mother thief", Jiang Baoyi scolded: "You take prisoners of war, and the cavalry chases and kills Li Guangdu."

　Everyone guessed, did Li Guangdu escape?
