Drive!
Li Shimin wiped the tears on his face, mixed them with blood, turned a terrifying brown, told him to be buried thickly, and then disappeared in front of him.
How could everyone let King Qin take risks alone, but when he stopped like this, his legs and stomach were sore, and he really couldn't walk, Yuan Ziyan looked anxious, and said loudly: "Soldiers, Liu Wuzhou's qi is exhausted, Datang is about to rise, as long as you work harder, you will be the veteran heroes of Datang in the future!" Not for high-ranking officials, not for the history of the famous, just for the sake of the family, no longer suffer from war, enjoy peace forever! ”
Enjoy peace forever!
Cheng Yanjin took the lead in shouting, and everyone responded in unison, struggling to get up, stepping on the war horse, and following in Li Shimin's footsteps. When Li Shimin's figure was discovered, he was taken aback.
Because Li Shimin was besieged by a small force and was struggling to kill the enemy. Where is this the high-ranking King of Qin, not to mention the pampered prince, but a role model for the first soldiers in the army!
Come on! Under the leadership of Yuan Ziyan, it was another fight. Finally, he caught up with the equally exhausted Song Jingang in the Bird Mouse Valley, Song Jingang was full of guts, but when he saw Li Shimin, who appeared in front of him like a god, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't expect to catch up so quickly.
Song Jingang did not dare to fight against Li Shimin at all, and ordered everyone to cover, while he himself continued to flee to the north under the protection of the deputy general.
A total of eight confrontations, each time ended in the victory of the Tang army, Song Jingang's army was disheartened, and saw that the generals fled without authenticity, died to death, surrendered to surrender, Song Jingang's main force. Tens of thousands of armies have collapsed.
Everyone was excited and kept cheering, thinking that Li Shimin would lead his troops to continue to chase and kill Song Jingang, who was only protected by hundreds of people. Li Shimin ordered to camp and rest in place to find water and food.
"King Qin, if you are tired, I am willing to capture Song Jingangsheng!" Cheng Yanjin said with his eyes closed.
Why do you say that he has his eyes closed, because Cheng Yanjin is now in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, which can be understood that he is talking in his dreams.
"Poor Kou Mo chases, Song Jingang must have fled to Jiexiu at this time. There are still 20,000 soldiers and horses there, and it's not too late for me to go to the expedition after I've rested!" Before Li Shimin finished speaking, he heard a snoring sound. It turned out that Cheng Yanjin fell asleep standing up.
Everyone couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly helped Cheng Yanjin to lie down, the snoring sound shook the sky, and it was definitely noise.
Soon. The guards brought the water to Li Shimin in a helmet. Although it has been cleaned, there are still a few strands of blood floating on it, Li Shimin can't care about it so much, so he drinks it all and exhales happily.
Yuan Ziyan really couldn't drink it, so he came to the river and took a few sips.
At this time, there was no food, and the people's families had long run out of surplus food, and everyone had not eaten for two days and one night. Looking around, it's quite rewarding. Got a skinny sheep.
Everyone's meal that night was roasted whole lamb, which sounds beautiful, right? In fact, it's just roasting, and even the offal is not willing to be wasted, but despite this, it means that one person can't take more than three bites. The good meat was left for the injured and sick to eat, and Li Shimin only ate two eyeballs and a piece of sheepskin with hair.
Yuan Ziyan couldn't stand the smell, anyway, he was too hungry, so drink more water to barely support it.
Two days later, the soldiers had rested enough, and Li Shimin encouraged everyone to encourage their spirits, as long as Jiexiu was conquered, then this protracted war would end in a great victory.
Everyone was in high spirits, and the army flocked to Jiexiu with great momentum.
Song Jingang also rested here for two days, and his body recovered almost, although Jiexiu only had 20,000 soldiers, but he was in a defensive position, and he had not fought hard for days, so there must still be hope to defeat the Tang army.
Song Jingang still has a trace of extravagant hope, as long as he can capture Li Shimin, this battle will not be lost, and he will still have the upper hand. Song Jingang is also indispensable to cheer up his subordinates, and lure them with money and beauties, but now the poor can't even eat, where is there any extra money reward, even if it is a reward for the beauty, people see that they are so poor, who will follow?
Therefore, the morale of the soldiers was not high, and there was even a situation of war weariness.
The general guarding here is none other than Wei Chigong, seeing this situation, he still has the courage to step forward and say: "King Song, the Tang army is like a bamboo, and it is difficult for our army to resist ......"
"What do you want?" Song Jingang rolled his eyes in displeasure, at this time he was angry, and he was worried about encouraging everyone to work hard to fight, but Wei Chigong made such a negative voice, which was really unpleasant.
Seeing Song Jingang's unfriendly attitude, Wei Chigong was also very displeased, and said angrily: "The soldiers are also raised by their fathers and mothers, and now that the general trend is gone, why should they lose their lives in vain?" ”
"How do you know you're going to lose until the last minute? Wei Chi Jingde, you don't want to lose your morality before the battle and live up to my expectations of you! Song Jingang said arrogantly.
Wei Chigong's teeth clenched, before Song Jingang came, Liu Wuzhou relied on himself for everything, and now he has suffered defeats one after another, and he is still so angry like a bear, who is he going to show it?
was about to have a seizure, but Xun Xiang secretly gave Wei Chigong a look, and he had to swallow this evil breath alive.
"Wei Chi Jingde, you quickly take out all the grain stored in the city, let the soldiers eat and drink, and then share the male and female with Li Shimin!" Song Jingang said in a commanding tone.
"The grain stored in the city can only last for three days, and if you take it out, what will you eat in the future!" Wei Chigong disagreed.
"I can cut off Li Shimin's head in just one day, don't make noise, if you don't obey, you should be punished by military law!" Song Jingang didn't give Wei Chigong a chance to refute at all, threw up his sleeves and left.
Wei Chigong was depressed and uncomfortable, his heart really began to waver, the good birds chose the wood to rest, Liu Wu and Zhou Dongshan were difficult to get up again, and they were not good at employing people, and now they are still suspicious of themselves, and they will definitely not be able to work together in the future.
Dusty and horseshoe, Li Shimin's 20,000 light horsemen soon came to Jiexiu, all of them with worn armor and damaged weapons, but they were still orderly, well-trained, and neatly laid out in a phalanx.
Song Jingang immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, the drawbridge lowered, and his lieutenant general went to fight. In fact, Song Jingang did this to use his lieutenant general to test how strong the Tang Army's combat effectiveness was.
However, what is surprising is that the Tang army seems to be extremely heroic, but in fact, everyone shows fatigue, and the adjutant general waved a big knife, and easily cut off the leg of the deputy general Li Shimin, the other party rolled to the ground, the helmet fell to the side and didn't care to pick it up, covering his head and desperately fleeing back to his camp.
Song Jingang was overjoyed, such a Tang army was simply vulnerable, so he personally led the rest of the soldiers to launch a fierce counterattack against the Tang army.
The Tang army threw away its armor and fled all the way, frantically fleeing backwards. The more this was the case, the more Song Jingang's fighting spirit was stimulated, and he rushed to the forefront to chase and kill the Tang army.
Turning a corner and coming to a forest, Tang Jun disappeared as if he had disappeared from the world.
Presumably they all fled into the woods, and there was not a single bird or beast in sight, Song Jingang frowned slightly, presumably it was the Tang Army's plan to lure the enemy deeper. The woods are no longer than the plains, and they can't see too far, Song Jingang couldn't help but let out a sneer, it turns out that Li Shimin is at this level, and a fool will be fooled.
Song Jingang waved his hand to signal the army to withdraw and stop chasing. However, as soon as he turned the horse's head, he was immediately so frightened that his soul was gone, and he didn't know when he was listening to a team on the other side, the leader was heroic, and his eyes were blazing, it was Li Shimin himself!
It's not good, it's still a trick! Song Jingang slapped his head and didn't dare to fight again, he couldn't go back the same way, so he ran desperately.
At this time, it was the moment to decide the final victory, Li Shimin shouted and raised his sword to kill the past, and in an instant, blood flowed into rivers and corpses were everywhere. Song Jingang fled without his life, and infinite desolation rose in his heart, at this time he really realized that his pace was too fast, and he might have come to an end.
In the end, Song Jingang escaped with only more than 100 people, and there was nowhere to find him, so he could only go to Bingzhou to join Liu Wuzhou.
It's just that Liu Wuzhou got the news of Song Jingang's defeat, and was so shocked that he couldn't believe his ears, in a short period of time, how could all the cities he occupied be gone.
Liu Wu, who stayed in Bingzhou, did not have a good time on Sunday, and in order to preserve the last bit of strength, he had to give up Bingzhou and everything and fled to the Turks, who he thought he could rely on.
When Song Jingang arrived, he found that his brother-in-law had already run away, and everything he could take was gone, including his sister and his wife.
At the beginning, in order to win over Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou gave him almost half of his property, and Song Jingang couldn't take it with him when he marched and fought, so he handed it all over to his daughter-in-law for safekeeping.
What I didn't expect was that the brothers and sisters were still close, and the daughter-in-law also ran away with Liu Wuzhou, and the property was taken away, which means that Song Jingang returned to the point of being empty-handed.
In Bingzhou, Song Jingang pulled around, and finally gathered 2,000 soldiers and horses, and told his self-made family history with tears in his eyes, and many people listened to it and cried.
In the end, Song Jingang wiped a handful of tears and said that the current situation is not as difficult as it was then, as long as we work together, we can drive away the Tang army and occupy the place north of Bingzhou.
Only then did everyone understand that they still had to fight, and secretly scolded Song Jingang in their hearts, you are a war criminal, because how many brothers you have killed in vain, and which fool still works for you.
The next morning, when the number of people was counted, Song Jingang was dumbfounded, and there were less than a hundred people left in the two thousand people.
Hey, what kind of battle is there in this situation, so I have to lead these remnants of the defeated army to flee to the Turks. Seeing that the two of them could no longer squeeze oil and water, and it was their own trouble to keep it, the Turks found an excuse to behead Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou.
Since then, only the great victory of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the fiasco of Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, are remembered in history, and their character is also affected by the outcome of the war, and there will be obvious favoritism when it becomes the subject of the novel.
History, who knows the truth! (To be continued......)
