Late Tang

(Ask for a ticket!)

In Youzhou Jinglue Army City, the Zhenwu Army and Dangxiang Tuoba troops are going through the streets and alleys, door to door searching and clearing out the Shatuo remnants in the Army City.The Zhenwu army and the party members were very active. Once they found the Shatuo people hiding in hiding, they immediately swarmed up and scrambled to kill the Shatuo people.

Li Yang and Li Wei, the envoys of Li Jing from the Eastern Army of Zhendong, sat on the counting platform of the school field of the barracks. Looking at the two piles of human heads that had piled up like a mountain on the school field at this time, they couldn't help frowning. Yang Lin and Tuoba Sigong who were sitting on the side said, "Have you still not found Li Guochang?"

For Li Yang, Tuoba Sigong and Yang Lin were very respectful, and Yang Lin, the deputy commander of the Zhenwu Army, said flatteringly: "I have searched the whole city, but I still haven't found Li Guochang's person. There is no one alive, no dead body. It is estimated that he took advantage of the chaos and fled out of the city last night. But even if he escaped, he would only escape with 300 people, and the heads of the [-] Shatuo people who have been captured now exceed [-]."

The Shatuo people's heads were placed on the school field at this time, and the larger pile on the left was harvested by the Zhenwu Army, with a total of 210 nine levels.The smaller pile on the right is the harvest of the Tuoba people. They entered the city later, and their soldiers and horses were only half of the Zhenwu army, so they only harvested 180 seven levels in the end.Add up, there are [-] heads of Shatuo people.

Basically, six thousand Shatuo people have been killed.

Li Yang said with some disappointment: "No matter how many Shatuo people's heads are, they are not worth as much as one Li Guochang's head. I'm sorry for the two generals. If I can get Li Guochang's head, the credit will be great. .Now that one Li Guochang has escaped, this credit is much less impressive.”

Tuoba Sizhong said to Li Yang proudly: "Although Li Guochang escaped, we also caught a big fish. Shatuo soldiers and horses envoy Li Jinzhong was captured by us." After speaking, he confessed to the soldiers, and soon Li He was imprisoned for his loyalty.The important planner of the Yunzhou mutiny was covered in blood at this time, one face was swollen like a pig's head, and one leg was still limping.But even if he became a prisoner, he still shouted and cursed very arrogantly.

Tuoba Sigong winked at his younger brother, and Tuoba Sizhong immediately stepped forward and punched Li Jinzhong fiercely in the face, knocking him down to the ground, even knocking out several teeth.

Li Yang waved his hand: "General Tuoba must not beat him to death, a living Shatuo bandit chieftain is worth more than a dead one."

"The Shatuo bandits have been wiped out. Now, should we take advantage of the victory to pursue and take back the Zhenwu Army?" Yang Lin asked with a smile.

Li Yang just smiled: "I'm just an envoy of the Zhendong Army. How to do this should be decided by the two generals themselves. However, I'm just making a suggestion. It's better to be more cautious, and it's best to take the lead Soldiers go to join the Tiande army to avoid accidents."

Yang Lin and Tuoba Sigong felt that it was time to seize the opportunity to recover Yin and Sheng Erzhou.Li Jing could see that Yang Lin and Tuoba Sigong both wanted to compete, so he stopped talking.Tuoba Sigong wanted to attack the two prefectures of Yinsheng, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to expand his territory and connect the three prefectures of You, Yin and Sheng.Now that Yang Lin rebelled and surrendered again, and controlled the Zhenwu Army, he naturally couldn't be willing to see the territory of the Zhenwu Army occupied by Tuoba.

Li Yang no longer cared about the private fight between the two parties, but asked them to deal with all the heads, then packed them up, and sent someone to take them to Chang'an by car to report the victory.Defeating Li Guochang and beheading so many Shatuo people was a victory fought by the Zhenwu Army and the Tuoba tribe, but in this battle, Li Jing was the one who planned the layout, so the biggest contribution to this victory was actually Li Jing's.Of course, Li Yang would not miss this opportunity to show his merits. This is the head of more than five thousand Shatuo people's elite soldiers.

Not long after returning to the tent, Li Wei said to Li Yang: "Tuoba Sigong led more than [-] Dangxiang cavalry just left the city, and Yang Lin also led more than [-] Zhenwu troops out of the city."

Li Yang smiled, he didn't expect the two sides to move so fast, and even threw them here.

"Let them go. Anyway, we defeated Li Guochang in this battle and killed more than [-] Shatuo soldiers. Our county lord's goal has been achieved. As for the Zhenwu Army and the Dangxiang people competing for Yinsheng Erzhou, let them fight for it." Bar."

After Tuoba Sigong and Yang Lin returned from the school grounds, they immediately led their troops out of the city and went straight to Yinsheng Erzhou.However, although the two teams had schemes against each other, they were worried about not going too far at this time.Yang Lin went out of the city first, and the soldiers and horses went straight to Shengzhou.Tuoba Sizhong originally said that after leaving the city, he took the opportunity to destroy the Zhenwu Army and directly snatch Yinsheng Erzhou.But after Tuoba Sigong pondered for a long time, he finally rejected this proposal.Firstly, the Zhenwu army is twice as large as the party members, and secondly, the Zhenwu army has already turned around at the moment, and there are Li Jing's envoys watching behind them.If he fights at this time, even if he wins the Zhenwu Army, he will suffer heavy losses with the little force he has now.After much deliberation, he finally decided to seize Yinzhou, and Shengzhou was handed over to Yang Lin.

Although Yang Lin wanted to protect the two prefectures at this time, he didn't dare to divide his troops, so he had to take him back to Sheng prefecture, watching Tuoba Sigong lead his army to Yin prefecture.

At the time of the expedition, the Zhenwu Army had more than [-] men. At this time, after two battles in the Jinglue Army City, the Zhenwu Army still had more than [-] men.But riding on the horse, Yang Lin felt a little proud.He was originally the deputy envoy of Jiedu of the Zhenwu Army. When he was under Li Guochang, he was not as powerful as Jiedu Sima Wu Xian.But after this time anyway, Li Guochang was defeated and fled, Wu Xian was killed by Li Jing's emissary, and now the Zhenwu Army has the highest position with him.

With the 3000 soldiers and horses in hand, plus the recommendation promised by Li Jing this time, plus the more than [-] heads of Shatuo people in the city of the Jinglue Army, he has already accepted the position of Jiedushi of the Zhenwu Army. Determined to win.

He has already made a plan to take back Shengzhou first, then recruit soldiers and horses, and then return to the Shanyu Duhu Mansion, and take back the surrendered cities of Dong and Zhonger.

As for Tuoba Sigong, let this damn Dangxiang Huren be proud for a while, and after he is firmly seated as the Jiedushi of the Zhenwu Army, he will be the first to uproot the Tuoba family. If the state is taken back, even Youzhou will also be taken back.

However, on Li Jing's side, he had to find a way to have a better relationship with him.This Li Jing not only has many soldiers, but also has a teacher like Yu Yu. If he gets the support of Li Jing and Yu Yu, the position of Zhenwu Jiedushi will be secured.

Several scouts galloped over, found Yang Lin and immediately turned over and fell off his horse.

"Report to the deputy commander, some traces were found in front of Luotuoyan, it seems to be Shatuo's defeated soldiers."

Could it be Li Guochang?Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately became excited. It was a great pity that Jinglue Juncheng let Li Guochang escape.If Li Guochang can be captured, this will undoubtedly be the first effort in countering the rebellion.

"Can you see clearly? Is Li Guochang among them?"

"There are more than [-] riders. It is not certain that Li Guochang is among them."

Although the scouts said so, Yang Lin had confirmed that Li Guochang must be among them.Immediately shouted excitedly: "Prepare to fight immediately, follow me to kill, remember, when you see Li Guochang, you must not kill him, you must capture him alive."

More than [-] Zhenwu troops quickly increased their speed and headed straight for Luotuoyan.

Camel Weir is a mountain weir.Because the two hillsides on the weir stand like the twin peaks of a camel, it is called Camel Weir.

Yang Lin took the lead and led his troops to kill them. When he got close, he found two or three hundred riders sitting on the ground resting.The Zhenwu army pursued them all the way, and before they knew it, they had already entered the valley.

The valley is like a dry lake bottom, surrounded by mountains, there are only two passages, one in and one out.Ma Zhenwu's army of [-] soldiers chased in, and they were about to catch up, when hundreds of cavalry in front suddenly turned around and stopped.

One of them is the old boss Li Guochang.

"Yang Lin, I usually treat you kindly, why do you turn against me?"

Yang Lin stopped the horse, looked at Li Guochang's desolation with some pride, and said with a smile: "You and I are both ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Since you are against the Tang Dynasty, then we are incompatible. If you are waiting to be captured, I may read Take care of the old love in the past. If not, don't blame me, Yang Lin, for being ruthless with swords in my hands."

Li Guochang snorted coldly: "Yang Lin, the old man still wants to give you a chance. If you lead the army back to me, I can let the past go. You are still the deputy commander of the Zhenwu Army."

"What if I refuse?"

"Then you are looking for your own death!" Li Guochang shouted coldly.

Before he could finish speaking, all of a sudden, the shouts of killing suddenly stopped, and a large army suddenly entered on both sides of Luotuoyan.Black clothes, black armour, and black flag, in front of the leader, with one eye dimmed, one eye covered with a blindfold, a black horse under the crotch, and a long spear in his hand, charging straight.

Yang Lin turned pale with shock, and exclaimed, "Why is Li Ya'er here!"

"I'm here to take your head!" Li Ke rushed to him like flying, but Yang Lin saw that he was in the middle of the attack, and wanted to retreat again, but there was no way out.He could only grit his teeth and command the battle, but Li Ke used [-] soldiers and horses, all of them were the most elite Shatuo soldiers, while Yang Lin's [-] Zhenwu troops were few and under siege. Li Ke used to kill, the morale of the army has been lost, how can the enemy be defeated.

At the beginning of the melee, the battle has completely turned to the Shatuo people. The Zhenwu Army was rushed and killed by the Shatuo cavalry, and the formation was broken.Soon it fell into a massacre, and when the battle reached sunset, the Zhenwu Army was completely defeated.

Many Zhenwu troops began to abandon their weapons and surrender, but Li Keyong hated them for rebelling before the battle, so they refused to surrender at all.Trampled by iron hoofs and hacked with long knives, Luotuoyan finally became a gate of hell for five thousand Zhenwu troops. No one could escape, and all of them were slaughtered here.

Seeing that Yang Lin could not escape the defeat, he regretted not listening to Li Yang's persuasion, not wanting to fall into Li Ya'er's hands and be cut alive, Yang Lin drew his sword and killed himself!

After the war, Li Keyong discovered that Yang Lin had committed suicide, and he still refused to let him go. He ordered his body to be thrown on the ground, trampled into mud by cavalry horses, and finally burned to ashes.

"It's cheaper for the Tuoba dog thief!" In this battle, only the Zhenwu Army was annihilated, but Tuoba Sigong's Dangxiang Army was not ambushed. Li Ke said bitterly, unwilling to do so. (To be continued.)
