Chapter 32: A wave of calm

Li Yuanji looked at the flying arrow and before he could react, everything in front of him suddenly went dark. The soldiers around him had raised their shields and came to his side to protect him.

After a while, the shields were moved away, and a group of people rushed out from the side. Most of them were not wearing armor, and only a few were wearing armor, but not full armor, but only on the chest.

Li Yuanji bit the tip of his tongue and immediately came to his senses. The scene just now was the first time that danger was so close to him since he came to the Tang Dynasty. He did not make any move for a while.

Coming back to his senses at this moment, Li Yuanji immediately took out his lance, which was Li Yuanji's own weapon. After holding it tightly, Li Yuanji was full of determination.

Although he had always expected that Lingnan would not be peaceful, the war came suddenly. Li Yuanji kept telling himself in his heart that he had to adapt to such things. Only by adapting to this era could he survive.

At this moment, the archers in the army have launched a counterattack. Fortunately, the arrows that attacked just now were relatively sparse, but now the arrows shot from his army are extremely dense. He has prepared enough crossbows and arrows, and Xie Shufang has already distributed them to the soldiers.

At the forefront of the flank, the sword and shield soldiers had already come into contact with the bandits. These bandits without armor were no match for the Tang army, and soon the army launched a counterattack against the bandits.

Li Yuanji came back to his senses, looked at this scene, and gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind.

"Xuan Ce, you stay here. I am going to kill the enemy!"

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he looked at the enemy army and shouted.

"Follow me, King, and kill!"

Li Yuanji suppressed his trembling heart and immediately rushed towards the enemy army. However, as soon as Li Yuanji arrived, Xie Shufang had already led his men to kill them.

Li Yuanji then sped up again and rushed towards the battlefield. Xie Shufang, who was commanding the army at the edge of the battlefield, saw Li Yuanji rushing towards him and suddenly became a little panicked.

"Yang Jianhe, go to the king's side immediately and protect him!"

Yang Jianhe, the captain of the Qi Wangfu army, was promoted after experiencing many major battles.

After hearing this, Yang Jianhe turned around and saw Li Yuanji who had already rushed into the battlefield. Although there were hundreds of soldiers beside Li Yuanji, Yang Jianhe still led 500 people to Li Yuanji's side.

Li Yuanji was getting closer and closer to the battlefield, his adrenaline rising continuously. He had no other feelings at the moment. Looking at the scene of killing on the battlefield, Li Yuanji with red eyes also wanted to kill people!
However, when he rushed to the battlefield, he saw all these villains running away. Li Yuanji immediately realized that the battle had just started and these people wanted to escape.

Li Yuanji, who had finally made up his mind, would never let them do as they wished. He quickly rushed in, wielding his lance and killing one man directly. This made him seem even more excited, and he immediately charged towards the enemy army again.

In less than half an hour, the bandits fled or were captured, and the battle ended just like that. Those who escaped were soon brought back by Li Xiang, who was arranged by Xie Shufang before the war. Those who were not brought back were killed, and no one was able to escape.

Li Yuanji returned to the army and looked at Wang Xuance beside him.

"Xuan Ce, are you afraid?"

Wang Xuance was holding a knife in his hand, and there was a faint trace of blood on the knife.

Hearing Li Yuanji's words, he suddenly laughed.

"Your Majesty, I am used to seeing this. In Lingnan, we often see two armies fighting each other, but the scale is relatively large.

Your Majesty, your majesty is so powerful. I have just seen it all. Your Majesty is indeed extremely brave. "

Hearing Wang Xuance's praise, Li Yuanji did not show any modesty at all and responded generously.

The original body's martial arts were not as good as Qin Qiong and the others, but compared to these people, he was completely crushed, especially after he adapted, he killed even more happily.

After a while, Xie Shufang came to Li Yuanji. "My lord, we have sent people to clean up the battlefield. I have asked these thieves, but they either refused to say anything or said they were bandits from nearby mountains.

But I can see that these people don't want to reveal the person behind them. During the battle, some soldiers heard that they were saying inaudible flirting words. I guess these people are flirting. "

After hearing this, Li Yuanji did not care about this issue.

"Putting this aside for now, how many casualties did we have? How many bandits attacked this time?"

Xie Shufang's face immediately showed shame, but this made Li Yuanji feel depressed.

"Your Majesty, this time our army has 83 casualties, only two of them are seriously injured and will recover in a few days, the rest are not injured or killed.

The enemy troops have been counted, with a total of 2,302 people, 827 captured, and the rest killed."

Li Yuanji heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He had thought there would be a lot of casualties. Li Yuanji himself knew very well how these casualties came about. Those ordinary arrows could not penetrate armor at all, but would only cause great pain to people if they were hit.

This is also the reason why Li Yuanji attached great importance to armor and other military equipment before. The difference between full armor, partial armor, and no armor is now very clear.

Li Yuanji, who heaved a sigh of relief, began to think about what Xie Shufang said. Even without interrogating these people, Li Yuanji knew very well that they must have been sent by those people with ulterior motives in Lingnan.

Although there is a guess, the specifics are unknown.

After pondering for a while, Li Yuanji suddenly had an idea.

Then he looked at Wang Xuance and asked, "Xuance, what do you think?"

Li Yuanji just wanted to see what Wang Xuance was thinking and what advice he would take.

Wang Xuance had been thinking about this for a long time, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty, these people must have been informed before they came. Your Majesty might as well use both kindness and force, and take out some gold and silver. As long as you tell the people behind them, you can get it. If they don't tell, you will have to kill them.

Now that we have captured 827 people, I believe that not everyone is willing to face death head on."

Li Yuanji smiled, but shook his head and looked at Xie Shufang again.

"There's no need to question these captives. Just kill them all. There's no point in keeping them. Anyone who dares to attack me will be punished by death!"

Xie Shufang was stunned.

"My king, if we kill them all, how can we know who dares to harm you?"

Xie Shufang really wanted to know who was behind these people, and he was determined to lead his army to destroy him.

Even though they only have 11,000 soldiers here, if a real fight breaks out, even if the other side has 200,000 soldiers, they dare to fight.

Wang Xuance, who was standing by, was also frowning in deep thought. Li Yuanji saw this and immediately said with a smile, "Shufang, what if you found out? What if you didn't? If something like this happens, someone must be held responsible.

As for who is responsible, I have the final say. If I say he is the mastermind behind the scenes, then he is the one.

Now, do you understand?"
