Verses 530 and 531 Former colleagues, now Chu prisoners

"The sharp of the Tang Army is really the best soldier in the world!" Xiao Yin entered the Tang camp and observed the Tang army up close, and couldn't help but feel envious.

Not only him, but also the courtiers who accompanied Shouyang Daoren and others were also intimidated by the momentum of the Tang army.

The Tang army was well-armoured and well-armed, and it was forbidden to enforce it. Even the idle pawns are strong and strong, with resolute eyes, which people dare not underestimate.

With such elite soldiers, it is no wonder that he was able to defeat Kudu Timur.

It's not a fluke.

And Gao Lang, Dong Huchen and others were excited, and finally returned to my Tang camp. I didn't think that I hadn't seen it for two years, and our army was so strong.

I'm Tang mighty!

"Woo-woo-woo-" Outside the big tent of the heavily guarded Tang Army, at this time, he also put forward a support to welcome the monarchs and ministers of the Liang State, and as a support team, it was the Mo swordsman of the Huya Forbidden Army.

The first thing that caught Xiao Liangjun's eyes was the Tang character banner and the phoenix bathing in fire.

Outside the big tent, a young nobleman in dark armor stood in the center, and at first glance he was the superior. Xiao Yin was suddenly surprised at first glance, and said secretly: This is Tang Gong Li Luo? It's so young!

It turned out that although Li Luo was already twenty-seven, he looked much younger than his peers of this era. So much so that Xiao Yin thought he was only in his early twenties.

This can't help but make Xiao Yin even more envious.

And the guards on both sides are more than nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, just like King Kong Lux, extremely powerful and majestic.

Xiao Yin looked at it darkly. His 3,000 death soldiers are also the elite of the elite, but compared to these wrestlers in front of him, their physique alone is obviously inferior.

Xiao Yin was about ten steps away from Li Luo, and then he no longer moved forward, but straightened his helmet and stood in place.

Li Luo didn't immediately step forward to greet him, and he also straightened his helmet and stood in place.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Zhiyuan from Li Luo's side came out, and the Shouyang Daoist from Xiao Yin's side also came out.

The two of them bowed to each other, and then the Shouyang Daoist arched his hand and said, "According to the ceremony, the lord of the Liang Kingdom will enter the Tang camp in person and meet the lord of the Tang Kingdom." As he spoke, he respectfully pointed at Xiao Yin with the sleeve of his robe, "This is, my Lord of Liang." ”

Ma Zhiyuan also arched his hand and said: "According to the ceremony, the lord of the Tang Kingdom welcomes the lord of the Liang country in the camp." As he spoke, he also pointed sideways and respectfully at Li Luo in his robe, "This is, my lord of Tang." ”

This is the first procedure of the meeting of the two gentlemen, the official introduction.

"Good. My family's official gift list is here, please present Tang Gong at your feet. "Shouyang Daoist took out the gift list.

This is the second procedure, where the visitor is presented with a greeting gift.

Ma Zhiyuan took the gift list and held it in front of Li Luo, "Your Majesty, this is a gift from Liang Guo." ”

Li Luo looked at it symbolically and said, "Set up a banquet and music, and entertain the VIPs!" This is Li Luo's return gift.

"Liang Gong entered the camp to see each other today, and he didn't say anything!" Li Luo smiled and bowed, "The etiquette in the army is simple, don't blame Lord Liang." ”

This is the third program, Welcome.

Although Xiao Yin is called the emperor, it is impossible for Li Luo to call the other party by the emperor's name, and it is already very face-saving to call him "Liang Gong".

"Tang Gong is polite, I'm very ashamed." Xiao Yin also accosted him. He lacks confidence, of course he doesn't dare to call himself me in front of Li Luo, and he is not stupid.

Xiao Yin is about forty years old, and his appearance is elegant, not like a rebel leader, but like a diversion doctor.

"Liang Gong, please!"

"Tang Gong, please!"

Xiao Yin saw that Li Luo had no intention of killing, so he completely reassured and entered the big tent and took his seats.

There is no wine in the army, and the dishes are very simple. Of course, the monarchs and ministers of Liang Guo did not come to drink and eat.

"The army is shabby, and the hospitality is not good, Liang Gong and everyone, please bear with me. I replace wine with tea and toast Liang Gong with a glass. Li Luo said very politely, and the etiquette was very good.

Xiao Yin immediately stood up and said, "It should be my respect for Tang Gong." Tang Gongyi Bo Yuntian, powerful Huanyu, not only held high the banner of righteousness to oppose the Yuan, but also personally raised the strong army, relieved the siege of our dangerous city, and helped with military weapons, grain and grass. I Liang was able to turn the crisis into safety, all thanks to Tang Gong's great virtue! I am so grateful, I don't know what to say, I can't repay it, I am so ashamed! ”

After that, I drank the cup of tea in one gulp. The words are beautiful, and there is no shortage of courtesy.

The ministers of Liang also stood up one after another, thanking Li Luo for his help.

"Haha." Li Luo smiled, "Liang Gongyan is serious. Although I am determined to recover, Liang Gong first raised the banner of righteousness, swept Huguang, greatly boosted the hearts of my Han family, and contributed to China, and I also admired it. ”

"Don't dare, Tang Gong has a reputation."

Xiao Yin said, secretly thinking that this Tang Gong Li Luo knew the measure. He put down the teacup and pointed to Jianli City in the east, "This time, I personally led the army, and I wanted to fight the demon head with Tang Gong. Unexpectedly, Tang Gong Shenwu, talking and laughing, broke the demon army, I was a step late, I couldn't just meet it, I didn't make any effort, I was really ashamed. ”

Who knew that Li Luo had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately smiled at the beginning of the conversation: "Liang Gong, why should he have regrets. Now that Timur of Kudu has been defeated, he is still struggling in Jianli City, isn't it set up for the Duke of Liang? Maybe the capture and killing of Kudu Timur is still in the hands of Liang Gong. ”

When Xiao Yin heard this, he immediately secretly complained bitterly, regretting what he had just said.

Since you said that you didn't contribute, okay, now that you're here, the remnants of Kudu Timur's defeated army are still in the city, and they just happened to be handed over to you to fight, are you satisfied?

You can't push it off at all.

Xiao Yin could only smile awkwardly and said, "With Tang Gong here, I dare to fight for merit." ”

Li Luo scolded secretly and waved his hand generously, "Why should Liang Gong be arrogant? If there is a problem, I can help. ”

Xiao Yin was helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Then I will be the one to do." After the great battle, please rest assured that the matter of attacking Jianli City will be handed over to my Liang army. ”

Li Luo raised his wine glass with a solemn expression, "In this way, I will not fight with Liang Gong, may Liang Gong be strong and break the city and kill Tartar." ”

The Tang army has artillery, and it is actually easy to break the city. But with the bravery and will of the Mongol army, fierce street fighting will surely break out. If the Tang army fought in the streets, although it would definitely win, the casualties would not be small. It was different when it was handed over to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin's heart was bitter, but his face was happy.

At this moment, Gao Lang suddenly stood up, bowed solemnly to Li Luo, and said, "In the lower Liang Shangshu, the left servant shot Gao Lang and saw Tang Gong. In Xia Tang Tu, on behalf of my lord, I implore Tang Gong for the matter. ”

Xiao Yin was suddenly a little anxious, "Gao Qing, Duke Tang has already helped Daliang a lot, dare to ask for more?" Don't quit yet! Even so, I am also grateful for Gao Lang's loyalty.

Li Luo smiled: "It's okay. Knowingly, he asked, "It turned out to be Mr. Gao, I don't know what Mr. wanted?" ”

Gao Lang Zhengse said: "It is good to teach Tang Gong to know that now I have only 70,000 soldiers and horses in Liang, and the armor and weapons are insufficient. If this is a siege, the casualties will inevitably be small. Since our army is attacking the city, then I also ask Tang Gong to help again and support some armor. ”

Li Luo's figure immediately became pale. Xiao Yin praised Gao Lang in his heart, but he was also a little nervous.

At this moment, Dong Huchen, the leader of the Demon Punishment Army, also stood up with a big grin, and saluted Li Luo a little roughly, "Yes, Tang Gong, our army lacks armor, and once the siege is attacked, the casualties will be great." Take the last general's demon army as an example, there are 18,000 people in the whole army, but 7,000 people have no armor. Please ask Tang Gong to help again. ”

Other Tang State agents also stood up one after another, begging Li Luo for help on behalf of Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin secretly wrote down these people, and their hearts were really all loyal ministers of my Great Liang, and they should be more reused in the future.

In this way, Li Luo seems to be stingy if he doesn't give it.

"Okay, it's really a loyal and righteous person who shares your worries, if I don't allow it, it will chill your heart to resist the yuan." Li Luo smiled bitterly and said, "Duke Liang, there are so many talents in your country. ”

Xiao Yin was secretly proud in his heart, even praised falsely, and scolded Gao Lang and others for being rude.

"Okay, I'll borrow 20,000 pieces of Liang Gong's armor, 10,000 bows, and 500,000 feather arrows." Li Luo said a little helplessly.

Xiao Yin was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted: "Tang Gong is elegant, generous and righteous, and he is really a charcoal in the snow!" I am grateful, and there will be a reward! ”

Li Luo smiled "reluctantly": "It is the same anti-Yuan lineage, Liang Gong doesn't have to be like this." ”

When the two met for the first time, they wouldn't say much, even if they became allies, they wouldn't be in a hurry today.

A banquet without wine, but the result is a joy for the guests and the hosts.

Soon after, Xiao Yin took the weapons supported by Li Luo and left the Tang army camp happily.

Before leaving, he also solemnly bid farewell to Li Luo and said: "Take care of the master, the slave will go back first, and after a while, the slave will come to see the master again." ”

"Go ahead, do what you want." Li Luo couldn't hate this little girl.

"Slaves remember the words of their masters." worked hard to bow down seriously, and seemed to be a little reluctant to leave the Tang camp.

…………

A day later, the morale-boosting Liang army began to attack Jianli City. Because of the anger that had been held back for several months, the siege of the Liang army was fierce from the beginning.

The 70,000 Liang army was originally Xiao Liang's last team, and it was not a rabble, but the lack of armor before led to a lack of combat power. At this time, a large amount of armor captured by the Tang Army was obtained, and the combat power was suddenly greatly improved.

It was Dong Huchen who commanded the siege. Obviously, Xiao Yin trusted him even more.

The 30,000 yuan army in the city, the war horses lacked food and grass, and the cavalry was not good at defending the city, so they could only rely mainly on the 20,000 traitor army.

When Kudu Timur saw the Liang army attacking the city, he angrily killed several people who assisted in defending the city to vent his anger. Before, he led an army of more than 100,000 to besiege Jiangling, and Xiao Yin was so frightened that he couldn't hold out.

But it was only a few days, but he hid in the city instead, and replaced Xiao Yin to attack the city and beat him.

How can this be endured?

Jianli City is a county town, and the city walls are low, which is difficult to defend. Coupled with the fact that the Liang army was as high as 70,000, the city was suddenly in danger.

However, the archery skills of the cavalry of the 10,000 Yuan Army are very good, especially the remaining 6,000 Mongolian soldiers, and their archery skills are even more powerful. They were condescending, arrows rained down, and every round of arrow rain killed and injured a large number of Liang troops, and many arrows went straight to the front door. Xiao Yin, who watched it, was distressed.

But the Liang army gathered 20,000 archers, concentrated at the west gate, and under the protection of the great shield, fired a dense rain of arrows at the head of the city. Cover the 20,000 sword and shield soldiers who attacked the city gates.

Because the city wall was only less than two zhang, the casualties of the Yuan army were also heavy for a while.

The Tang army surrounded Jianli City, completely breaking the idea of the Yuan army breaking through.

"Kill!"

"Woo Uhauen!"

The Yuan army had been defeated many times before, and was surrounded by 200,000 coalition troops, and the morale of the 20,000 traitor army had long been low, and only the Mongol cavalry was still tenacious. Especially the Mongolian soldiers, they still bent their bows bravely, and when the strings sounded, there were many gains, strong bows and arrows, and the Liang army did not dare to take the lead.

What is even more surprising is the ability of the Mongol soldiers to use bows and arrows. Their bows also served the purpose of striking the Liang army's feather arrows. These Mongolian soldiers were very sensitive to the perception of feather arrows, and when the arrows were shot in front of them, they used their bows very quickly, and they could often hit the feather arrows of the crooked Liang army.

Of course, not every time the arrow can be successfully drawn, and not every Mongolian soldier has this ability. Their judgment of the enemy's feathered arrows does not seem to be based on sight, but by feeling.

Li Luo was not surprised by this, he had commanded the Mongol army many times, and he had a deep understanding of the combat power of the Mongol soldiers. The Mongols were not only good at mounted archery, but also very good at hand-to-hand combat, especially wrestling.

At this time, the casualties of the Liang army were already thousands, while the casualties of the Yuan army defending the city were less than 1,000, and the casualties of the Mongol soldiers were no more than 100.

"Order, bombardment Jianli. Give them a hand. Li Luo ordered.

The Liang army's siege ability is really not good. This style of play, even if people die, they may not be able to capture this small city.

"No!"

Soon, several ten-pound guns of the Yan Falcon Firearms Regiment were pushed out, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at the gate of Jianli City.

A fast horse galloped towards Xiao Yin's big tent, and immediately the knight said: "Duke Liang, Duke Tang asked to withdraw the soldiers who attacked the city gate, and our army will open artillery to bombard the city gate to help your army." When the gates of the city are opened, your army can enter the city and fight. ”

What the? Bombarding the city?

Xiao Yin didn't know that the Tang Army had powerful artillery, so he was a little stunned for a while.

Of course he has seen artillery, but don't look at the sound is very loud, but the power is not good, and it may not work when used to bombard the city gates.

However, he originally wanted to withdraw some of his troops and horses, but he was desperate.

"Order, stop attacking the city gates, and stand back for now!" Xiao Yin gave a military order.

The Liang army, who attacked the city gate, obeyed the order and retreated, revealing the uncovered city gate.

The gunpowder of the Tang army had actually been loaded before, but it was not loaded.

"Reload!" Yan Falcon personally commanded the shelling.

Four ten-pound guns were quickly loaded.

"Put!"

The lead of the cannon was ignited and burned rapidly, followed by a shock to the cannon body, black smoke, and a loud "boom".

The gunners next to him turned around and covered their ears together, opened their mouths and shouted: Ha!

This standard action is to reduce the damage of the loud noise to the eardrum, and it is also designed by Cui Xiuning.

"Boom!" The projectiles of the ten-pound cannon bombarded the city gate at close range, and two of the cannons bombarded the city wall, and suddenly there was an uproar, and the city wall was blasted open with two large holes.

The city gate was hit by two other cannons, and the whole thing flew out, and even the wood and stone behind the city gate were blasted open.

The gate of the county seat is not strong enough, how can it withstand the bombardment of ten-pound cannons?

The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sawdust was flying, and the city gate Huo Ran turned into a black hole.

Xiao Yin and the others were dumbfounded, frightened by the power of the Tang Army's artillery.

What a firearm!

"The gates are broken!"

"Kill!"

The nearby Liang army didn't have time to be surprised by the power of the Tang army's artillery, and with a shout, they rushed to the city gate like a tide.

"Quick! Downtown blocked! Kudu Timur shouted loudly, and personally led people to rush down the city tower.

At this time, the Liang army had already rushed into the city, and the first to rush in was Xiao Liang's most elite daredevil.

"Kill!" The soldiers who dared to die were all in iron armor, armed with long knives and axes, and they were invincible in the traitor army.

By the time Kudu Timur personally led the Mongol soldiers to arrive, the death army had rushed in with nearly a thousand people, and it was still pouring in, more and more.

As a result, the most tragic white-knives battle broke out between the Mongol soldiers and the Liang army's daredevils in Xicheng.

To tell the truth, the army of the daredevils is very poor, the military discipline is also poor, and it is not even a real army. The sergeants of the Death Army are all outlaws who have been raised by Xiao Yin for many years, and they are called heroes in the rivers and lakes.

But the problem is that although these people will not be forbidden and line up in formation, they are precisely people who are proficient in fighting, and their personal strength and bravery are far beyond ordinary people, and they are most suitable for catching and fighting white-knuckle combat.

As a result, the Mongol soldiers suddenly encountered hard stubble. As soon as the two sides fought, the Mongolian soldiers' best bows and arrows could no longer be used, so they could only wield scimitars and fight to the death with the daredevils.

At this time, you can see the gap between the two sides, although the Mongolian color soldiers are very strong in individual combat, but after all, they are regular troops, and their individual forces are still worse than the daring army composed of "green forest heroes", and they are not opponents when they fight alone.

Often, two Mongol soldiers were killed or wounded, and only one dared soldier was killed or wounded.

In particular, one of the tall monks with a hideous face, dancing a Zen staff and wearing iron armor, killed several Mongolian soldiers in a row, and was unstoppable.

There is also a black and strong man who is also eye-catching, he is armed with two knives, and the windmill is generally connected and split, ruthless and fast, killing Mongolian generals like Kudu Timur and retreating again and again.

In the midst of the flying flesh and screams, hundreds of soldiers on both sides were killed every moment, and the entire Xicheng was bleeding.

At this moment, there was a loud bang, followed by a frenzied shout.

It turned out that the south gate was also bombarded by the Tang army's cannons, and Dong Huchen's demon army also rushed into the city.

As more and more Liang troops entered the city, the Yuan army gradually fell out, and although the Mongol soldiers were still fighting back fiercely, the traitor army was defeated and retreated.

"I'm Han, don't kill it..."

"Down, down, down! I fell..."

The traitor army either fled everywhere, or disarmed and surrendered, of course, there were many people who did not surrender to the death, and most of these people were Jiangbei Han troops.

In the end, tens of thousands of Liang troops all entered the city, while only a few thousand people remained in the Yuan army.

Kudu Timur's right hand was cut off by the man who made the double knife, and he was sweating profusely in pain, and finally broke out of the siege under the protection of his own soldiers, and led the remnants of the army to flee to the county office.

Da Dali and other generals also led a group of remnants to hide in the big mansions in the city, and resisted stubbornly.

A large number of Liang troops searched and killed the remnants of the Yuan army everywhere, and a small number of civilians were killed by mistake.

Jianli County was originally only two miles away, and at this time, so many soldiers and horses poured in, it was really crowded, and there were people everywhere at a glance.

It wasn't until dusk that the street fighting in the city that lasted for nearly two hours finally ended.

In addition to the traitor army that surrendered, almost all the Mongolian soldiers were killed in battle, and there were thousands of traitor soldiers who died in battle.

The casualties of the Liang army also exceeded 25,000. Xiao Yin outside the city got the news, and it was really a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The joy is that the main force of the Huguangyuan army has finally been destroyed, and the sad thing is that the casualties are too great.

His most elite 3,000 death soldiers suffered more than half of the casualties. These are all dead soldiers who have been raised by him for many years after eating and drinking.

Most of the generals of the Yuan army were captured. Kudu Timur, Dadarit, Apumuha... Including Chen Yiji, they were all tied up and taken out of the city.

"Kill me! Mongol warriors do not kneel in front of the enemy! "Kudu Timur broke a hand and shouted like a mad tiger.

Da Dali looked calm, Apu Muha looked unwilling, but Chen Yiji was pale and looked like a walking corpse.

Soon, Kudu Timur and others were escorted to Li Luo and Xiao Yinma.

The two rode side by side. Li Luo was wearing low-key and luxurious dark armor, and only the tall brocade pheasant hat showed his identity.

However, Xiao Yin was wearing gorgeous gold-threaded embroidered dragon armor, which looked extremely high-profile.

The looks and temperaments of the two are also very different. Li Luo's expression was flat, and his eyes were calm, making it impossible to see his thoughts. But Xiao Yin has fierce eyes with unconcealed pleasure and pride.

"Get on your knees!"

The soldiers of the Liang army forced more than a dozen generals and civil officials, including Hudu Timur, to kneel down and make them bow down to Li Luo and Xiao Yin.

Kudu Timur's braids were all spread out, his sparse hair was sweaty and sticking to the shaved head, he desperately raised his head, his beast-like eyes glared at Li Luo, and hissed: "Li Luo! You traitor! You're sorry for the Great Khan! The eagle will peck at your eyes, the wolf will take out your heart and lungs, and your fate will be worse than that of the wild dogs on the prairie! Wait, you wolf cub! ”

The corners of Li Luo's mouth curved, and he also said in Mongolian: "The reason why people are cruel is because of low self-esteem. Man is barbaric because of jealousy. O cruel and savage, if immortality and innocence will bless you, then why should inferiority and jealousy blind you? ”

Da Dali looked at Li Luo with eyes like a knife: "Mergen Badu, Pingzhang official, why do you want to oppose Da Yuan?" Is it really to restore the country of your Han people? Can you tell Dada the truth? ”

He deliberately called Li Luo's former official position, of course, he was sarcastic and ridiculed Li Luo for being ungrateful.

Li Luo looked at the long white clouds in the sky, "Da Da Li, you are an upright warrior, you did not kill innocents indiscriminately. But precisely because you are not a butcher like Kudu Timur, you are not Pingzhang, he is. It is precisely because you still have kindness in your heart that you have not been promoted for many years. ”

"Da Da Li, I have always opposed Da Yuan, and I have never been loyal to your Great Khan. In this world, there is no one worthy of my Li Luo's allegiance. There is no tribe that is qualified to enslave the Han Chinese. There are thousands of people who want to restore the Han family, just like you will definitely fight for your Great Yuan. ”

Da Dali closed his eyes, "Okay Li Luo, I understand." You can kill me. ”

Li Luo said: "I can not kill you, and I can even let you go back to Dadu." As long as you bring a word to Kublai Khan. ”

"What?" Da Dali couldn't help but ask.

Li Luo Zhengse said: "The Central Plains is not the grassland where he should be entrenched, he should go west, there is what he wants." This is my advice, true advice. ”

"Okay Li Luo, I'll bring your words." Da Dali said coldly. After all, no one wants to die, since Li Luo doesn't kill him, why does he have to die.

Li Luo looked at Kudu Timur again, "Kudu Timur, your fate is not in my hands. He pointed at Xiao Yin, "If you beg Emperor Daliang for mercy, he may spare you." ”

Kudu Timur laughed, and said with a pale face: "Emperor Liang? Hahaha! Li Luo, I hope to die at your hands. He, at all, is not qualified. ”

Li Luo shook his head and said to Xiao Yin: "Kudu Timur said that he doesn't want to die in your hands. ”

Xiao Yin also understood what he meant, his face was slightly red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay." Didn't you kill many, many people? I will make you regret living in this world. After he finished speaking, he looked at the little girl, "Hard, I gave him to you." I know your means. ”

The hard and cruel eyes looked at Kudu Timur, and swept Xiao Yin with a slight dissatisfaction. She was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yin exposing her true side in front of Li Luo.

How can you let the old lady pretend to be naΓ―ve in the future?

However, since Xiao Yin gave the order, the little thing had no choice but to take the order, which could be regarded as showing its original form in front of Li Luo.

But what she didn't know was that she had already shown her original form to Li Luo.

At this time, suddenly Chen Yiji said loudly: "General, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!" ”

Oh? Li Luo looked at Chen Yiji with a smile, as if he had just seen Chen Yiji, "Hey, isn't this the king of Jiaozhou, no, isn't this the Great Yue Prison Country?" Why is Your Highness here? ”

Chen Yiji said miserably: "General, for the sake of working together in Annan, please forgive the general!" ”

He called General Li Luo, of course, to evoke the past when Li Luo was the general of the Southern Expedition.
