Chapter 111: The Battle of Shanzhou

"Xuancheng thanks Dingbei Hou for saving his life!"

Wei Zheng said that he was about to bow down to Li Yan, and the frightened Li Yan hurriedly ran up to help him.

This kind of thing is not a joke, in this era, there is no need to kneel when you see the emperor!

There are very few occasions when you really need to bow down, and only when you kneel to heaven and earth, parents, teachers, etc., you need to bow down.

If Li Yan really let Wei Zheng worship, once the news spreads in the future, those sour Confucians in the court may not know how to impeach!

For the sake of safety, Li Yan didn't dare to let Wei Zheng perform this big gift.

"Zheng Guogong is right, this guarding the safety of the Tang Dynasty is the responsibility of every man, I just did what the Tang people should do."

Li Yan hurriedly comforted Wei Zheng, he didn't think about how to let Wei Zheng repay him.

Li Yan's greatest hope is that Wei Zheng will impeach himself a few times in the court in the future, and don't let his name echo in the emperor's ears all day long.

"Dingbei Hou, this time you not only saved Xuancheng's life, but also saved 7,000 households in Shanzhou......"

Wei Zheng is worthy of being a person who can say that Li Shimin has a headache, and now that he is seriously injured, Li Yansheng has nothing to love, so he just wants to quickly hand over the two Tuguhun people he is carrying in his hand, and then run away quickly.

"Zheng Guogong must not say this anymore, Zheng Guogong has tried his best to take the lead in this battle......"

"One of these two people is Murong Shun, the prince of Tuguhun, and the other I don't know, but presumably the status is not low, so these two people will be handed over to Zheng Guogong."

"The army led by General Li Jing is now in Lanzhou to exterminate Xue Yantuo's army, and it is expected to arrive in Shanzhou later tomorrow.

After Li Yan and Wei Zheng exchanged a few polite words, they began to explain the matter.

He threw Murong Shun and Murong Le to the ground, and he didn't shy away from saying what he thought about the battle situation.

As soon as the words of this total annihilation Tuguhun army came out, Murong Shun who was lying on the ground was immediately shocked.

He really didn't expect this Li Yan to be so ruthless, no wonder this person could defeat the Eastern Turks to the annihilation of the country.

It's a pity that Murong Shun can't protect himself now, and he has no time to think about the life or death of the army.

He can only hope that Datang will use his identity to make some deals with Tugu Hun now.

Murong Shun temporarily believes that it is absolutely impossible for Datang to start an all-out war with Tuguhun!

"Let's keep the lives of these two people for the time being, so as not to retreat from the Tuguhun army, and wait until the war is over, and then chop them alive."

Li Yan glanced at Murong Shun, who was like a dead dog on the ground, and he had already seen this person's desire to survive.

But you must know that this time Tuguhun invaded the Tang Dynasty and killed countless people in Shanzhou, although Li Yan didn't want to get too involved in the war, so as not to gain too much military exploits, but he never intended to let Murong Shun live.

"This ......"

Wei Zheng was a little embarrassed.

According to the rules, Murong Shun is a royal family, and even if he is captured, he should be escorted to Chang'an for the emperor to decide.

Even though Wei Zheng had a hatred for Murong Shun in his heart, he was a rather rigid person after all, and he didn't seem to be living against the rules of the imperial court.

Therefore, Wei Zheng fell silent and did not answer.

"That's it today, I will be here to help defend the city, today the Tugu Hun people will inevitably storm the city in an attempt to save this person."

Li Yan saw through Wei Zheng's thoughts, but he didn't care at all.

Li Yanzheng was worried that the movement of his support this time was too big, and it might have the power of shaking the master.

Now Li Yan has already thought about it, when the war is over, before he returns to Chang'an, he will definitely kill this Murong Shun to add some black material to his trip.

In this way, Li Shimin may ignore this great achievement by attacking and counteracting each other.

In this way, Li Yan avoided being suspicious of the emperor, and finally embarked on a tragic path of hostility with the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yan silently praised his wit, not knowing that Li Shimin did not doubt his thoughts at all.

I don't know that Li Shimin wishes that he would make more monstrous achievements, and then it will be convenient to operate Li Yan's matter of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors.

In this way, Li Yan stood calmly on the city wall, completely exposing his figure to the battlements, facing the tens of thousands of Tuguhun troops under the city, like a guardian saint.

Wei Zheng didn't know what Li Yan was thinking, he had now subconsciously ignored Li Yan's previous illegal thoughts, he just wanted to know how Li Yan planned to help Shanzhou defend the city, how to help Shanzhou persist for a day and night.

"Dare to ask Dingbeihou, how should this city be guarded? To tell the truth, now the defenders of Shanzhou have no strength to fight anymore. ”

Wei Zheng's expression was a little painful, and he didn't know if he thought of the grief experience of the past month, or the wound on his abdomen and back was torn again.

"With me here, wouldn't it be enough to defend the city with hands?"

Li Yan once again said the classic saying, in his opinion, is it difficult to defend the city?

Now that he Li Yan has arrived, it means that the enemy's siege equipment will not be able to stand up again.

At that time, the Tugu Hun people can only choose to storm the city gate, but how can Li Yan, the god of war at the city gate, boast about it?

According to incomplete statistics, the enemies killed by Li Yan at the gate of the city have already reached four figures.

At that time, Li Yan will stop at the gate of the city, and Tuguhun people will have to give it for nothing!

In other words, if Li Yan hadn't thought about annihilating this group of Tuguhun people, then it would be enough for him Li Yan to guard Shanzhou!

When Wei Zheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Although he saw the scene of Li Yan entering and leaving the army like nothing, he remained skeptical of Li Yan's sentence "If you have hands, you can do it".

You must know that he Wei Zheng is not an ignorant Wenchen, he has participated in the war for many years, and he knows the essence of siege and defense warfare.

This is simply something that one person's power can influence.

Obviously, Wei Zheng had never seen Li Yan's combat effectiveness at the foot of the city wall.

You must know that compared to rushing and killing among the ten thousand armies, this siege and defense of the city is Li Yan's best skill.

After the corners of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched, his body also twitched, and it was obvious that he had lost a little more blood.

Frightened by such a situation, Shanzhou Assassin Shi Wang Fang hurriedly called the doctor for treatment.

Wei Zheng has been in Shanzhou for nearly a month, how can something happen at this last moment!

Wang Fang did not dare to slack off at all, and beckoned people to carry Wei Zheng off the city wall.

At this moment, Li Yan glanced at the double-digit experience balance of his "Minecraft", obviously unable to exchange for a life recovery potion.

Therefore, Li Yan could only silently pray to Wei Zheng, hoping that he would not return to the West like this.

If Wei Zheng dies like this, there will be one less eternal barren spirit in history who is tenacious, has a heart for the Tang Dynasty, and has both civil and military skills!

This is definitely a great loss for Datang, and it is known that it is also a big loss for thousands of years of Chinese civilization.

After praying, Li Yan continued to stare murderously at the group of Tuguhun people under the city.

If he could, Li Yan didn't want to fight a high-profile tough battle.

He just wanted to wait until Li Jing came to support after the battle, so that he could reduce his presence as much as possible, so as not to be remembered by the emperor.

……

At the same time, outside Shanzhou City, the current situation of Tuguhun's army is similar to what Li Yan considered.

There was a little chaos in the barracks, but it seemed that there were still heavyweights in the barracks, so it gradually stabilized.

"Second Prince, how about we now?"

In the camp, Murong Rong, the second prince of Tuguhun, was impressively present!

He is not the commander of the first army, he is not very old, he has little experience in war, and this time he joined the army just for experience.

"What can I do? Storm the city quickly and save the big brother! ”

Murong Rong was still young after all, his mind was not too complicated, and he did not abandon Murong Shun's idea of returning to Tuguhun at all.

You must know that once Murong Shun dies here, then he Murong Rong will be the first heir of Tuguhun Khan.

"But...... The Dingbei Marquis of the Tang Dynasty is ...... in the city."

"It is said that this Dingbei Hou has not lost a single defeat so far......"

The Tuguhun generals who communicated with Murong Rong were obviously a little afraid of Li Yan, and the terrifying combat power and momentum that regarded the ten thousand armies as nothing had already broken the courage of most of the Tuguhun soldiers.

"So what? Could it be that my army of 30,000 can't kill a Dingbei Marquis? ”

"Even if he is the overlord of the ancient West Chu, isn't he still forced to die in Wujiang by the army? Could it be that this Dingbei Hou is even more terrifying than the overlord of Western Chu? ”

This Murong Rong seems to have read the history of the Central Plains, and he has a set of words, but he just hasn't thought about the reality clearly.

"But the morale of the army has been lost, and I am afraid that we will ......"

The general was still afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to face Li Yan at all.

"Then we'll surround it! I don't believe that this Shanzhou has been besieged for so long, and how much surplus grain is left in the city! ”

Murong Rong seems to have not only read history books, he has probably also read military books, and now he has plausibly proposed the tactic of besieging but not attacking.

Such tactics obviously won the expectations of the Tuguhun soldiers, and now few people dare to face Li Yan's fear.

It can be said that most of the Tuguhun soldiers can't even look up at the city wall of Shanzhou now!

On the city wall of Shanzhou is standing Li Yan, a peerless ruthless man, and all the Turks who have seen Li Yan's figure on the battlefield before are afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Yan didn't listen carefully to the movements under the city, so he naturally didn't know that there was a second prince in Tuguhun's army.

Li Yan just saw that Tuguhun's army was preparing to besiege but not attack, which was exactly what Li Yan wanted.

He was waiting for Li Jing to come over.

In this way, the Tugu Hun people and Shanzhou seem to have reached a stalemate.

Tugu Hun Fang did not dare to move because of Li Yan's existence, and the emptiness in Shanzhou Fang City did not have the strength to fight again.

The two sides fell into a delicate balance that lasted for a whole day.

Until the east of Shanzhou set off dust, the army led by Li Jing finished recuperating after exterminating Xue Yantuo's army at a small price, and immediately rushed to Shanzhou in a hurry.

"The people of Tugu Hun besieged but did not attack? Who will this Lord be? How so...... Caution? ”

When Ge Dahai brought back the news as a scout, Li Jing was still a little confused.

Originally, Li Jing thought that the situation should be that the Tugu Hun people would attack the city at any cost, and Li Yan used his own force to fight in the army to delay his arrival.

Li Jing didn't understand what Tugu Hun was doing for a while.

"General, there are traces of battle at the west gate of Shanzhou, very similar to the style of the boss, and now the boss is already in Shanzhou City."

Ge Dahai reported to Li Jing again, he had just seen a very familiar picture when he was investigating at the West City Gate of Shanzhou.

All bloody roads, isn't this Li Yan's fighting style of rushing to kill alone!

"Oh? So, this is what Dingbei Hou did on purpose? ”

"I see! He is waiting for the army to arrive, and he wants to annihilate the Tugu Hun people! ”

Li Jing thought of the scene where Li Yan beheaded Dumozhi at the beginning, and immediately understood how the current situation came about.

This time, Li Yan captured the opponent's coach alive nine times out of ten, and the status of this coach was not low in Tuguhun, which made Tuguhun's army fearful, and in the end he did not dare to attack or retreat.

"Cheng bites gold! You are the vanguard, attacking the Tugu Hun army from the front! ”

"Zhang Dazhu! Thou shalt lead three thousand men and make a detour from the north flank......"

"...... Ge Dahai"

Li Jing figured everything out in an instant, and began to arrange for people to carry out the strategy of completely destroying the Tugu Hun people.

Li Jing's tactical arrangements for this battle were extremely rude, and it seemed that it was settled that the Tugu Hun people had lost their command, and the overall tactics were completely offensive and undefensive, like a war gambler.

"The last will be ordered!"

"The Last General ......"

The army quickly launched an operation, and when the Tugu Hun people noticed the arrival of the Tang reinforcements, they had already fallen into encirclement!

The army was divided into four parts, completely cutting off the retreat of the Tugu Hun people.

Surround 30,000 people with 20,000 people (Li Jing's army has lost nearly 10,000 people), which is only a skilled and bold person like Li Jing can do it.

The moment the war began, Li Yan on the city wall took action.

He picked up the Fang Tian painting halberd that had been carried up the city wall by the two defenders yesterday, and jumped off the city wall with a single stroke.

"Open the gates! I will close it as soon as I leave the city, and I can just wait to defend the city! ”

Li Yan got on his horse and rushed out of Shanzhou City.

The next scene was the massacre that Li Yan was extremely familiar with.

Because of Murong Rong's existence, Tuguhun's army was not too chaotic.

But when Li Yan noticed it, Murong Rong's life also entered the countdown.

In just three minutes, the Tugu Hun army was beheaded again!

In the following war, all the Tuguhun generals who could form a certain command system were attacked and killed by Li Yan!

In the war of the Cold Weapon Age, there was such a fierce man who was accurately decapitated, and the outcome of this war naturally did not need to be thought about.

This is bound to be a one-sided slaughter.

"Boss, look at my hand! Isn't it okay? ”

"Boss, and me!"

The moment Zhang Dazhu and the others met Li Yan on the battlefield, they exploded in an instant!

One by one, they immediately killed several Tugu Hun people around him in seconds, and reported their exploits to Li Yan.

"Well done!"

Li Yan naturally will not be stingy with praise.

Now Li Yan can see that these brothers who followed him first can already take charge on the battlefield.

In this regard, Li Yan was very pleased.

While relieved, Li Yan's movements in his hands were not slow, and while driving the war horse to trample to death two Tugu Hun people, he also wiped out three of them with a halberd, like killing gods on the battlefield.

"Boss, strong!"

"Boss, six-six-six!"

Such a scene made Zhang Dazhu and others subconsciously shout out the swagger they learned from Li Yan.

Now, this war has lost its cruel atmosphere and has become a hunting ground for the military merits of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
