Late Tang

At Zhigu Pass, Li Cunxiao broke through the pass and beheaded the generals. In the first battle, he killed hundreds of people and shocked the entire army.

This time, the young will plan to make new achievements.The more soldiers and horses there are in the Taixi Army City, the more excited he is.

"It's just a chicken and a dog, why be afraid of it?" I follow Li Jing every day, and now Li Cunxiao has to follow him to class every night, and he can say a few words of Wen Zou Zou from time to time.Although in fact he disliked class the most, he felt like flies buzzing in his ears when he was in class, but he also liked to say such a sentence or two from time to time in front of other people, especially in front of his subordinates.Whenever he looked at the puzzled and revered eyes of his subordinates, he felt very proud, and always felt that he seemed to be as powerful as his teacher Li Jing.

Li Cunxiao divided the more than 56 riders into two draws, one with 56 riders and the other with [-] riders.Ma Xing, the vice-deputy of the left team, led a team of [-] people. They will put on the clothes of those who cannot escape, and slowly approach the city below the pass.In the Taixi military city right now, not only are there people everywhere in the pass, even tens of thousands of people gathered in the pass.These people are waiting in a long line to enter the pass. The task of Ma Xing and others is to mix in the crowd outside the pass. When the time comes, when they see the iron whistle blowing, they will immediately create chaos in the pass and prevent the pass from being closed. Close the gates.

The remaining eighteen people, including Li Cunxiao and Wang Meng, will act together with Li Cunxiao.They will also change into the clothes of the fleeing civilians, Li Cunxiao intends to lead this group of people directly into the military city, and capture the thief and the king.

This is an extremely risky operation, and it will also be a moment of glory for the young raiders.

Li Cunxiao planned to sneak into the city pretending to be a commoner, and then directly implement beheading tactics with a team of 18 people.This beheading tactic was what he mentioned yesterday when his teacher Li Jing gave a lecture to the officers in the officer guard battalion. In the teacher's words, the beheading tactic is actually to capture the thief first and capture the king first, directly attacking the opponent's general, causing the enemy Fang's command is chaotic, and after losing command and mobilization, he can defeat the enemy.

This beheading tactic suits his taste very much, he likes this approach, go straight to the point, and knock down the leader first.When he was herding sheep before, when the wolves wanted to attack his sheep, he would just kill the wolf head.Once the head wolf dies, the rest of the pack will disperse.

Putting on the clothes of the common people, Li Cunxiao hid the war horses and soldiers in a grove in the valley.But just to be on the safe side, in the end everyone kept a pair of triangular army thorns hidden in the knee pants on their legs.As soon as he changed his clothes and smeared some mud on his face casually, Li Cunxiao immediately changed from a tiger hunter to a sheep herder.Wang Meng and the others were temporarily moved by Li Cunxiao's persuasion, but now they changed their clothes, left their horses and weapons here, and entered the closed city full of people with bare hands, their scalps still felt a little numb.

This is really dancing on the tip of the knife. Although they also followed Li Cunxiao to attack Zhigu Pass last time, but that time they were 1000 people, wearing armor, riding war horses, and holding sharp weapons.But now, there are only [-] of them, and each of them has only a thin cloth and leather robe, and the only weapon is bare hands and a military stab hidden in the leg.

However, Li Cunxiao didn't know what fear and fear were, so he tied his horse to a tree and left all his weapons and armor behind.

Li Cunxiao selected sixteen people from the left team, and the remaining two were himself and Wang Meng.Hengchongdu was originally an elite cavalry soldier selected from each battalion. At this time, Li Cunxiao deliberately selected a few soldiers who did not look so big as Kong Wu.These 16 people are all young, and the oldest is no more than 25 years old.Hengchong is not only an elite capital, but also part of Li Jing's guard battalion. Therefore, many of these young soldiers are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also veterans with a lot of experience.Moreover, most of them are the nephews and nephews of the generals in the army, etc., the real soldiers of the Zhendong Army, and their backgrounds are reliable.

Two of them are even only one year older than Li Cunxiao, just 14 years old.

These 16 people were lean and strong. Although they were not as big as the rest of the people, Li Cunxiao did not doubt their abilities at all.Bringing these people along will make it easier to enter Guancheng.

In the grove, Li Cunxiao and Ma Xing began to make final preparations together.Li Cunxiao tied two triangular army thorns to one leg, and wrapped a thin iron rope around his waist. In addition, he hid a barrel of arrows in his sleeve.

The other soldiers also each have a brand new Triangle Army thorn, which was originally only equipped by the special forces of the Flying Eagle Battalion.Later, when more were produced, they began to equip the officers one after another.Apart from the special operations capital and officers, the soldiers of the guard battalion were the only battalion leaders equipped with such sharp weapons.

"This is refined and forged in the Ordnance Workshop. One military thorn is equivalent to the cost of five horizontal knives. With this military thorn, everyone will not let down the blacksmith who made them!" Wang Meng drew a few with the military thorn pen. Next, break the heavy atmosphere and build up your courage.

The sky began to drizzle again, Li Cunxiao took the lead with more than a dozen people carrying a few torn quilts and parcels, and pretending to be ordinary people, got out of the trees and followed the road to Guanxia.

Ma Xing and others opened up a little distance, divided into several teams, and slowly followed after a certain distance.

Soon, Li Cunxiao arrived in front of the pass, and there was a long line of people waiting to enter the pass.Relying on their strength, Li Cunxiao and others rushed forward all the way, seeing that they were all young men with fierce looks and great strength, they didn't dare to make a sound.

The 18 people soon arrived at the gate, and there was a group of about 50 soldiers standing in front of the gate. People who entered the gate did not need to go through inspection, they just took a look and let them pass.The closer the door was closed, the harder Wang Meng's heart beat.He went to look at Li Cunxiao with a nervous mood, but saw that he was fine, with a relaxed face, matching the equipment, he looked like a shepherd boy who didn't know anything.

Li Cunxiao was the first to successfully pass through the closed door, and afterward, Wang Meng also entered smoothly.The two didn't dare to stay at the closed door, and walked in along the crowd, until they walked about [-] steps away, and there was already a stretch of tents, most of which were set up by the common people.He found a corner and squatted on the ground waiting for someone.

After about half an hour, the rest of the people finally arrived.Eighteen people entered a big tent, and inside was a rich man from Weizhou.Before the family could come and scream, except for the head of the family, the others were quickly subdued by 18 people.

"If I don't know the answer, you can answer whatever you ask. If you dare to yell, your whole family will be killed immediately!" Wang Meng threatened, and the head of the family with the white beard nodded quickly.

"Who is the biggest official in the city now?"

The old man said a few words, Wang Meng let go of his mouth, the old man did not shout, but very cooperatively said: "It turned out that the guard who closed it was Liu Zhijie, the general of Taixi Mountain Army Village in Daizhou, but it seems that Li Liu Then he sent his younger brother Li Kexiu to come."

"Are all the soldiers in Weizhou also in Guanzhong? Who will be the general?"

"Five thousand soldiers and horses from Lingqiu and Feihu City in Weizhou are now in the city, and they just arrived yesterday. Lingqiu's guard is Li Liuhou's younger brother Li Kerou, and Feihu's guard is also Li Liuhou's younger brother Li Kezhang. However, at present, Guanzhong , it is said that Li Liuhou's wife, Mrs. Liu, has the final say."

"Where does Mrs. Liu live?"

"It seems to live in the town general's mansion in the east."

After saying this, the businessman didn't know anything else.After finding out where the town general's mansion is, Li Cunxiao directly tied him and his family and gagged him.

Wang Meng went out to inquire personally, and came back after a long time, "The town general's mansion is not easy to get close to, there are three floors of soldiers and horses outside."

Li Cunxiao also couldn't find a way for a while, they only had 800 people, and he never thought of taking [-] people in Guancheng with [-] people.What he thought was very simple, just taking advantage of the current chaos, sneaking into the city, killing the main general in the pass, and taking the head back, it would be a great achievement.

But there is no chance now, they have been waiting in the tent until it was almost dark when a patrolling sentry passed by.After staying in the tent for a long time, they have almost figured out the pattern, these patrol soldiers will pass by once every two hours.A team of about 20 people.

After dark, when the patrol team arrived on time as expected, Li Cunxiao and others who had been waiting for a long time rushed out immediately and silently killed the patrol team.Then they quickly stripped off their armor clothes and put on them.

Drilling out of the tent again, they have become a group of Shatuo soldiers in black clothes and black armor.Although they only wore leather helmets and leather armor, everyone had a horizontal knife and a spear after all.There are even twenty bows, hundreds of arrows, and twenty shields.

The 18 people quickly equipped each with a knife, a spear, a bow, and a shield, and distributed all the arrows.

With the weapon in hand, Wang Meng felt confident, and the sky was getting dark.When they went out pretending to be the patrol, no one found out that they were fake.

"stop!"

A loud shout stopped the group of people who had buried their heads all the way to the front of the town general's mansion.

"Which part, how dare you intrude!" An officer in front of the town general's mansion came over and asked.

When the person approached, Li Cunxiao raised his head and grinned at the person, and then, while the person was in a daze, directly sealed his throat with a knife.

"Kill!" Since you can no longer sneak in, then simply kill in.

The eighteen people were like eighteen tigers descending from the mountain, and they rushed forward like a pack of wolves. They rushed straight at the guards in front of the town general's mansion, slashed with spears and bayonets, and killed the group of guards in a short while.After that, they went straight into the mansion.

In the town general's mansion, the Liu family is discussing matters with the three Li brothers and the former town general Liu Zhijie.Liu's idea was that the Zhendong army was overwhelming, and it was not an option to fight them head-on at this time. In the end, he avoided the front for the time being and went to join Li Keyong first.

However, this decision was unanimously opposed by the three brothers Li Kexiu, Li Kerou, Li Kezhang and Liu Zhijie.

"Sister-in-law, the terrain of the Taixi Army Village is dangerous, and it is the place where Wei's throat is located. How can such a battleground for military strategists be easily given over to Li Jing?" Li Kexiu said.

Li Kezhang also nodded, "Kexiu is right. Because of Li Jing's power, we must hold on to this pass. Weizhou abandoned the defense before the battle, but because of the loss of Zhigu Pass, we were caught off guard and had no choice. But now , we already have [-] soldiers and horses in Guanshang, and we can send more soldiers and horses from Daizhou, Yunzhou, and Shuozhou. Ke Yong is now in Taiyuan, and his father is still in Youzhou. Since we stay behind, It is even more important to stick to it. How can we escape without a fight? If we abandon this pass now, the Zhendong Army will take Daizhou without any effort. At that time, do we have to retreat again and again?"

In fact, Mrs. Liu didn't want to hold today's meeting, she is just a woman.But she could see the situation clearly.

The three Li Kezhang brothers also believed that the Shatuo people could once again bloom in all directions and defeat all the ministries of the imperial court as before.But I didn't see that this time was different from the last time, no matter whether it was Zheng Congxun, Yu Jian, or even Li Jing, He Lianduo and others, none of them were idle.Attacking from all directions, it is possible that they will be defeated one by one soon.All the sites and cities are not the root of the Shatuo people. The root of the Shatuo people is the Shatuo army.

If people lose their land, they will lose their land.If people lose land, everyone has land.

It's a pity that she was drooling, and the three brothers of the Li family didn't believe that they would not be able to stop the court soldiers.

"It's better to let Siyuan escort my sister-in-law to Shuozhou New City first, and leave it to our three brothers. Anyway, since the third brother handed over Weizhou to us, now that Weizhou is lost, we have already lost our duty. Now, no matter what Why, we can't lose the gate of Daizhou again." Li Kexiu finally made a decision, and Liu's objection was not allowed.

Although the Liu family was helpless, in the end they had to be escorted by Li Siyuan with [-] soldiers and horses to Shuozhou first.

As soon as she left, Li Cunxiao rushed into the town general's mansion in the evening, and the two sides did not meet.

Li Cunxiao and others rushed all the way into the mansion, killing people when they saw people, and killing gods when they saw gods.

In the blink of an eye, they had already broken into the inner palace, Li Kexiu and the other three sent the Liu family away, and they were discussing how to resist the enemy.But he heard a noise from outside, "What's going on outside?" Li Kexiu's expression was not very good.

A servant stumbled in and reported urgently: "The big thing is not good. Suddenly, a group of people came in from the outside. They killed everyone they saw and chopped them up. They were extremely ferocious. The brothers couldn't resist. They have already killed people in the inner mansion at this moment." up.

"Who is it?"

The servant was flustered for a while, so he couldn't see who they were, so he had to reply: "I don't know their identities for the time being, but they are wearing armors of our style, but their arms are slightly different, and they look like It's the Daizhou soldiers in the original pass."

Li Kexiu and the others immediately looked at Liu Zhijie when they heard the words. Liu Zhijie was swept away by that gaze, his legs almost went limp, and he said immediately: "Three generals, there is such a mess below, I will arrest them immediately, listen Hou Faluo."

Li Kezhang looked at Liu Zhijie coldly, suspecting in his heart that this person was behind the plan.But Li Kexiu didn't believe that Liu Zhijie had the guts.He nodded immediately and asked him to clean up his subordinates.

Liu Zhijie rushed out in a hurry, yelled to summon a team of servants who were resting in the yard, and rushed out with a horizontal knife, just in time to meet Li Cunxiao and other 18 people who rushed in like blood men , unstoppable.

Liu Zhijie, who was far away, saw that this group of people were indeed wearing the military uniforms of his subordinates, and immediately rushed forward angrily, wanting to clean up the house.Li Cunxiao's side rushed forward without any fear, the two sides fought only a few times, Li Cunxiao had already swept through thousands of troops with a spear, and knocked Liu Zhijie and several soldiers to the ground, before Liu Zhijie could resist, he was flying like a cloud. Was mentioned mid-empty.

Someone here had already noticed that something was wrong, and rushed to report to the three Li Kexiu brothers.

"Report! General, something is wrong. Liu Zhijie went to fight, but he was captured alive by the enemy after a few rounds! Liu Zhijie's men and horses were killed, and they came again!"

Now, even Li Kexiu was extremely surprised, how could this be possible.

Although Liu Zhijie was a surrendered general, they had seen his skills and martial arts before, and they were not bad.How could such a general be defeated and captured alive by his soldiers within a few rounds?

"Did you see that group of people are the original state soldiers in Guannei?" Li Kexiu remembered something and asked.

"Seems to be"

Li Kexiu already understood at this time that the person who came would never be the original state soldier. "Quickly send an order to close the city gate, the Zhendong Army has already arrived!"
