Horse on the World

Chapter 816 Said to drop
Li Wen and Sun Zewu led hundreds of soldiers to block the gate of the city. They blocked the counterattack troops in the city for a stick of incense. The time of this stick of incense was fatal. When they rushed to the gate of the city, a large number of local soldiers from Yingcheng blocked their counterattack, and outside the city, the sound of horseshoes could be heard clearly.Under the light of the fire, it could be seen that a large number of cavalry had appeared not far away.

When the first cavalryman yelled through the wide-open city gate and split the head of a soldier with a shiny saber in his hand, Li Shanbin knew that the situation was over. Come to mind.

It was also a small group of enemies secretly sneaking in to seize the city gate, and then a large group of cavalry roared in, defeated the defense, and seized the city. This scene was almost exactly the same as when the Dingzhou army captured Qixia Pass. He fell twice, but he lost twice in a row under the same style of warfare.

Under the light of the fire, a Dingzhou general's falling star hammer fell one after another, and the influx of large cavalry scattered a large number of troops at the gate of the city in an instant. Under the iron hoof of Dingzhou, let alone these As for the local soldiers in Yingcheng with low combat power, it is impossible for the elite of the southern army to stop them.

There was a sad smile on Li Shanbin's face, the only thing he didn't understand was where these Dingzhou soldiers came from.

"General, let's go, retreat, if you don't go, it will be too late!" The soldiers beside him saw Li Shanbin who was in a daze.

"Go, where are you going?" Li Shanbin muttered to himself.

"General, run away to Quancheng quickly. Dingzhou soldiers will definitely attack Quancheng by surprise. They are here to cut off our army's retreat. Hurry up to Quancheng and let General Lu Xin get ready!" the soldiers said urgently.

Li Shanbin woke up in horror, yes, if the spring city is lost, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have entered Weizhou will die without a place to bury them.That would be a disaster for the entire Confederate Army.

"Go, go, retreat!" Li Shanbin turned his horse's head and left.

The general fled, and a thousand soldiers of the southern army followed Li Shanbin. Thousands of local soldiers from Yingzhou scattered in the city in an instant. Taking off their military uniforms and changing into civilian clothes, they instantly became ordinary people. They were originally ordinary people in this city, but they were temporarily conscripted into the army.

Even Wang Yan was a little surprised by the unexpected speed of the battle to capture Yingcheng. The opponent had no half-will to fight at all. Looking at the surrendered soldiers all over the street, Wang Yan was a little uninterested, and the hammer was dripping in his hand. Looking around, shaking his head, he said, "Is this the end?"

"General Wang, General Wang, the chief general guarding Yingcheng is called Li Shanbin, and he led about 1000 people out of the city and ran away." A school lieutenant came galloping on horseback.

"Li Shanbin, acquaintance!" Wang Yan laughed.

"General, I will lead a team of cavalry to pursue." The captain said loudly.

"Okay, you go, don't press too hard, let alone let them run away." Wang Yan said with a smile: "They can't run away, the lord is waiting for them!" Wang Yan said, before the lord attacked the city, It was already expected that the enemy troops that slipped through the net would flee to the direction of Quancheng. At this time, in the darkness in the distance, more than ten thousand infantry had already set up a net, waiting for them to bump into it!
In the cold wind, Li Shanbin led more than a thousand soldiers in the cold wind, and hurriedly fled towards the direction of Quancheng. Behind him, he could vaguely see a fire dragon coming towards them, and the land must be coming. Li Shanbin complained bitterly when he was chasing the army in the direction of Yingcheng, can he escape by himself if he goes to Yingcheng for more than a hundred miles?

In the darkness, sharp arrows screamed suddenly, and groups of soldiers fell to the ground in an instant. At the same time, the sky-shattering shouts sounded, and in front of them, Thousands of torches were lit together, and under the light of the fire, groups of soldiers waiting in line were watching them coldly.

There are ambushes.

Li Shanbin only felt that a basin of cold water was pouring from head to toe, and that the cavalry who had just attacked Yingcheng by surprise had passed by with his own eyesight. But here, he was in front of him, on both sides, rows of soldiers stood upright, shining brightly. Hanguang's sharp arrows were aimed at them from afar, there were at least ten thousand people, how many Dingzhou soldiers had sneaked into Quanzhou, and where did such a large number of enemies come in?

"The descendants will not die!" The Dingzhou army on the opposite side yelled loudly. Amidst the yelling, pairs of big feet stepped on the snow and advanced towards them, and a mountain of guns rushed towards them.

All the faces of Nanjun showed panic, and they all looked at Li Shanbin.

"Kill, kill!" Li Shanbin drew out his saber, pointed his halberd forward, and roared.

"Kill!" More than a thousand people raised their weapons and rushed forward.

Seeing the opponent's stubborn resistance, the sound of drums in the Dingzhou army on the opposite side suddenly changed, and the soldiers accelerated sharply, rushing towards the oncoming enemy, while behind them, the archers began to throw arrows, raining arrows from the sky. And falling, overthrowing the Southern Army in the rear one after another.

Li Shanbin rushed forward with all his strength, and the opponents in front of him rushed one after another, seemingly endlessly, his hands were already sore, his whole body was injured in several places, and the soldiers behind him were chopped down one by one. It is less and less.

A big knife was coming towards him, the sound of the wind was very urgent, Li Shanbin yelled, raised the long knife, and sealed the big knife outward, the two knives collided, with a bang, Li Shanbin's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a bang , the knife on the head was pressed down abruptly, and in great horror, he held the back of the knife with his other hand and pushed it outward with all his strength.

A kick came flying towards him, Li Shanbin watched helplessly as that foot got bigger and bigger, and it was reflected on his face with a bang, his eyes turned black, and he fell backwards, in a daze, he heard someone shout: "This is a big fish, tie it up well, and the rest of the people can't let go, catch them all, one person left, come and see me!"

I don't know how long he was in a coma, Li Shanbin woke up slowly, his face was pressed against the snow, it was icy cold, right in the middle of his face, there were bursts of burning pain, presumably it was because of that kick.After struggling for a while, I found myself bound like four horses, unable to move at all. In a daze, I vaguely heard someone talking.

"how is the situation?"

"Returning to my lord, there are about a thousand soldiers from the southern army, about 400 were killed in battle, and about [-] were captured. None of them should have escaped. Now the soldiers under the command of the last general are searching carefully to prevent any fish that slipped through the net."

"Well! How about our own casualties?"

The man who answered said with a smile: "I hit the opponent by surprise, and the opponent just lost the city and lost his soul. How much strength is there, my lord, we only suffered more than a hundred casualties, and about half of them died in battle. , and the rest suffered some injuries of varying severity."

"Not bad!" It was obvious that the man was very satisfied. "Take the captives to Yingcheng and imprison them."

Li Shanbin tried his best to clear up his confused mind. My lord, what kind of lord, who in the Dingzhou army is qualified to be called the lord?Thinking of this, my body trembled, and I suddenly realized that Li Qing, it must be Li Qing, and Li Qing led the troops to sneak in.

The sound of footsteps sounded towards him. Li Shanbin closed his eyes, not wanting to see the other party. At this moment, he really wished that he was still in a coma.

Li Qing looked at Li Shanbin who was curled up on the ground with a smile, squatted down, looked for a while, and saw the slightly rolling eyes under the closed eyelids of the other party, couldn't help laughing, "Come here, let General Li loose the rope, General Li, since you are already awake, there is no need to pretend."

With a cracking sound, a person next to Li Qing swung a knife and cut the rope in two, but it didn't hurt Li Shanbin's wrist at all. With sore hands and feet, he staggered and almost fell to the ground again.

Someone had already brought a Maza, Li Qing sat down with a firm determination, looked at Li Shanbin in front of him, and said with a smile: "Bring one for General Li as well."

"General Li, please sit down!"

Li Shanbin stared at Li Qing for a while, then slowly said: "Marshal Li, you don't have to be so polite, are you trying to use me to earn money to open the gate of Quancheng? I won't do that."

Li Qing laughed loudly, "General Li speaks quickly, but he is straightforward. Yes, I, Li Qing, have exactly this idea and want to ask General Li for help."

"Don't even think about it!" Li Shanbin refused straight away.With a clang, a knife was pulled out and placed on Li Shanbin's neck.

Li Qing waved his hand, Iron Leopard snorted, put the saber back into its sheath, and retreated.

"General Li, although we haven't met, we are old acquaintances. I still know General Li very well. General Li is also capable, but he has never been able to use it for half his life. I was defeated, and I was always excluded in the Southern Army, I am right!"

Li Shanbin's eyes flickered, "What's the use of saying this?"

Li Qingdao: "He who understands the current affairs is a hero. General Li, you are a talented general. You should understand that since our army appears here, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Southern Army attacking Weizhou?"

A trace of pain flashed in Li Shanbin's eyes, "As long as Quanzhou is not lost, the Southern Army will have a way to retreat, and the entire army may not necessarily be wiped out."

"Since I'm here, can Quanzhou still be kept?" Li Qing sneered, "To tell you the truth, in Quanzhou City, our Dingzhou Supervisory Court has already ambushed a team, waiting for our army to fight over. Now we Tens of thousands of troops have marched towards Quancheng overnight, and they will show up at the city of Quanzhou tomorrow, how long do you think Quancheng can hold if the inside and the outside cooperate?"

"In that case, what else do you need from me?"

Li Qing said with a smile: "With the help of General Li, our army can minimize casualties and obtain Quanzhou City at the lowest cost. Of course, even if General Li is not willing, I can take Quanzhou City tomorrow. It’s just that the price is a bit higher, and if one or two thousand people die, I, Li Qing, can still afford the price.”

"But if this happens, it will be very bad for General Li." Li Qing said with a smile: "If General Li is willing to help, Li Qing will repay you in the future. I promise you to display your talents and leave your name in history. It's just a trivial matter. General Li, our army is about to leave, this is your last chance, are you willing to serve Dingzhou?"
