King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 128 Taishi Ci's Great Defeat

Liu Ying heard that Li Lin called, and said "Damn ghost!" and immediately ran over to coax little Li Ping. Yu'er also knew that Li Ping had wet the bed, so she quickly took a rag, wiped it for Li Ping, and then put on a new cloth. diaper.

Li Lin watched the two of them busy, his eyes were full of happiness, why didn't he just want to live a carefree life where his wife and children are hot on the kang every day, and they wash and rinse all day long!But God didn't give me this chance!
Comforting Liu Ying and Yu'er well, Li Linyou personally fed Liu Ying, which made Liu Ying's boss not used to it. After resting for a while, suddenly a soldier came over.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a series of knocks on the door, "My lord, my lord is here!" A voice came from outside the door.

Li Lin went out, "What's the matter?" Li Lin knew that there must be something important. He lived in the backyard of the company, and someone would call him.

The soldier saw that he was running over, panting, "My lord... My lord... Taishi Sima was defeated by the Wuhuan army and returned!"

With just one sentence, Li Lin's heart sank immediately, and he quickly asked, "Is Tai Shici okay?"

The soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It's okay, I'm on my way back now, and I'll arrive at the camp outside the city soon!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Well! You take a rest first, and I'll be there soon!" The soldier retreated.

Li Lin found the soldiers Zhao Yun sent for him, "Haha, thank you for a while, go back and tell General Zilong, we will get drunk when we meet in the future!"

"You are welcome, sir, we will definitely bring it."

As Li Lin said, he took out a few gold pancakes and said to them, "This is the travel expenses for you, and I also want to thank you all, I hope you will accept it!"

A few people kept pushing, "No, our general has already paid for my travel expenses!"

"Hey... It was given by your general, and I gave it to you. You guys worked so hard to send me back, I should thank you!" They couldn't stand Li Lin's enthusiasm, so they accepted the golden pancake.

Li Lin went again, "I prepared a cart of good wine outside the door. This is for your generals. Please help me send it back!"

Namu agreed to them, "It's getting late, I still have military affairs to wait, so I'm going first!" Several soldiers left Bintu City after exchanging pleasantries with Li Lin.

Li Lin went all the way to the gate of the city. Seeing that several people had gone far away, Li Lin immediately said to the soldiers at the gate of the city, "Quick! Prepare the horse for me, and I will go to the camp outside the city!"

Hearing this, the soldier was stunned for a moment, and said in a bad mood, "Who are you? Just let me prepare your horse?" This soldier was the one who talked to Li Lin when Li Lin and the others entered the city.

Li Lin stared, "I am Li Yuanjie, who do you think I am!"

The soldier was startled, "Who... Li Yuanjie...is it real or not!"

Li Lin said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare your horse!"

The soldiers could think that when they first entered the city, they were all smiles, and the person who was polite to him turned out to be his master!He ran up to the top of the city to look for the gate order, and when he saw it from a distance, it was indeed Li Lin. He quickly complained about the soldier, and immediately prepared a horse for Li Lin. Send the horse.

"My lord...here...here you...the horse!" The soldier walked up to Li Lin tremblingly, and owed the horse.

Li Lin said immediately, pulled him over, flew on his horse, and said to the soldiers, "You! Go and get a reward of [-] yuan!"

"Ah!" The soldier was shocked again. The lord didn't blame him, but stepped forward to him, reacted, and immediately thanked him, "Thank you, lord!" But before he said it, Li Lin had already ridden He got on his horse and galloped out of the city.

The gatekeeper walked up to the soldier in fear. The soldier was still reacting to what happened just now. The gatekeeper asked, "Why! Brat, what did the lord tell you!"

The soldier smirked, "Hey, my lord rewarded me with a hundred coins! Hey..."

"What?" The city gate order also didn't believe it, and the soldier repeated it. No one thought that a soldier who talked to Li Lin like that, was not punished, and instead got a reward. ..."

Li Lin rushed to the big camp outside the city. When he saw that Tai Shici's defeated army had withdrawn, before he reached the gate of the camp, he heard a shout from inside, "Who is coming? If you go further, let's shoot the arrow!"

Li Lin quickly stopped his horse, he knew the rules in his camp, because this was set by himself, Li Lin quickly shouted, "I am Li Yuanjie, open the gate of the camp quickly!"

When the soldiers heard this, there was a commotion, and someone rushed in to report. After a while, Tai Shici came to greet Li Lin himself.

Li Lin got off his horse and walked into the camp. Tai Shici greeted him, "Ziyi!"

As soon as Li Lin spoke, who knew that Tai Shici "thumped!" and knelt down in front of Li Lin, "The last general is not good in battle, and I hope the lord will punish him!"

Li Lin saw Tai Shici's disheveled face. He must have fought very hard. Li Lin also knew Tai Shici's ability. He won't be at fault for defeating him, so he quickly helped Tai Shici up, "Ziyi! Get up, you and me Why do you still say this, I don’t know you yet, it’s not your fault, come on! Get up, let’s straighten out our troops and horses, and leave no part of that Wuhuan dog thief behind!”

Tai Shici looked distressed and was supported by Li Lin, walking towards the big tent, Tai Shici talked about the situation of the battle, "I had already won two battles against Qiu Liju, but I didn't expect Qiu Liju to feign defeat today. I led the cavalry in pursuit, but unexpectedly, two groups of cavalry suddenly came out to attack the sides of our army and defeated our army. I immediately ordered to retreat to the camp. Who knew that the Wuhuan people took advantage of the victory and pursued them. Excellent, step on our barracks immediately, I retreated after repeated defeats, and then retreated!"

Li Lin was startled when he heard this, "Could Wuhuan's cavalry be so powerful?"

Tai Shici said, "If you fight on the plains, their archers are almost invincible. They are all raised on horseback since childhood, and their riding and shooting skills have been practiced since childhood. How many of our cavalry can ride and shoot? Our iron stirrups and horseshoes can still control the horses freely. Although our army has a lot of cavalry, I am afraid that the technology of stirrups and horseshoes will be spread to the enemy, so only my two thousand Xiao cavalry battalion is equipped with stirrups and horseshoes. And the scimitar, the Wuhuan cavalry attacked in a large scale, we have no city, and the geographical advantage of the dangerous place is simply unstoppable!"

Li Lin nodded after listening, "Yes! Ziyi, don't blame yourself. In such a situation, we will inevitably be defeated if we go!"

Tai Shi said kindly, "What I am worried about now is what to do with the people outside the city. The Wuhuan people are looting everywhere, and the people will definitely suffer!"

Everyone entered the big tent, Li Lin sat on the main seat, everyone sat down, Li Lin thought for a while, and said, "Ziyi, immediately ask Xu Liang for help, and ask him to send his spearmen, and then let the people outside the city The people in the village withdrew into the city, and we fought against Wuhuan for a while, but we must not show weakness, so we must quickly organize our troops, and tomorrow we will send troops to meet the enemy again!"

Tai Shici immediately stood up and said, "No!"

Li Lin looked straight and said, "This time, we are really fighting on our own territory, and the Wuhuan people are not allowed to be presumptuous. Although they are defeated, their morale will not be lost! You know!"

"No!" There was a burst of response below.

Does Li Lin have a total of 5 soldiers? There are [-] elite soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers. Explain that they are strong, so even the quality of the auxiliary soldiers is comparable to that of ordinary princes. The auxiliary soldiers are only issued with leather armor and ordinary weapons, and now Li Lin has bought a lot of steel from Li Chengri. Thousands of elite soldiers have been equipped with high-quality armor and the current weapons developed by Li Lin. Li Lin understands that the difference in equipment can improve soldiers not just by one rank. In today's wars, soldiers' lives are exchanged for victory. On the battlefield, if soldiers died because of their unqualified equipment, it would be too unfair to take these soldiers. Li Lin cherished the life of every soldier and would not let them make unnecessary sacrifices.

Therefore, Li Lin built four large arsenals in Liaodong County and Lelang County. The quality regulations of the weapons manufactured were extremely strict. Li Lin governs, and even the county guard has no right to manage it. Every time Li Lin has any new ideas, he will tell the old master in the arsenal that he uses his thinking that has surpassed nearly two thousand years to ensure that his army's equipment can be improved. promote.

Tai Shici had [-] elite soldiers in total, Xu Liang had [-] elite soldiers, and the rest were assigned to Yan Rou, Yan Zhi, Wu Mu and others. These generals were under Li Lin's command. If the development of private soldiers is allowed, every soldier must register and make a book. Li Lin asks you to bring one thousand with one thousand, and asks you to bring five hundred with five hundred. Li Lin also wants to prevent others from turning against customers, so the few generals are all other Sima , is in charge of the military, but the internal affairs cannot be intervened at will. There are county guards, county magistrates, or master books to govern. Li Lin also used the methods of later generations.

After Tai Shici received the order, he quickly rectified his troops, and Li Lin also dispatched troops from Liaodong County and Xuanzhe County. Li Lin knew that these Wuhuan Hu people had to beat them up once, or else even if they won, they would be defeated in the future. Will harass you like a fly.

The next day, Li Lin led Tai Shici and personally led [-] troops to attack the Wuhuan people. The Wuhuan army had already encamped in the Fangxian area. Tai Shici hurriedly dispatched horses to order the people outside the city to enter the city immediately.

"But have you arrived in Fang County?" Li Lin asked on horseback.

Tai Shi said kindly, "Well, we've arrived, the camp of the Wuhuan people will be here soon!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Order the whole army to set up camp!" Tai Shici immediately sent an order to set up camp.
