Chapter 136: Night Attack on Tang Camp
In a valley north of Zhengcheng in the south of the Hanchuan County Governor's Office, 30,000 Tang troops led by Chai Shao and Li Zicheng were stationed.
By this time it was late at night, and most of the soldiers had fallen asleep, recuperating and preparing to continue their journey to-morrow. Only the big tent of the Tang army commander is still brightly lit. Chai Shao was dressed in armor and stood in front of the big tent with a solemn face.
Although it is already late autumn, the breeze from afar is still warm and warm. It's just that when this warm breeze blew across Chai Shao's face, it didn't make Chai Shao feel relaxed and happy at all. Or rather, he wasn't in the mood to feel it at all.
Chai Shao's mood has been very bad during this time, thinking that when his father-in-law Li Yuan raised troops, he was the only number three person in the Tang Army after Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. But over the years, the status of Li Xiaogong, Li Jilong, Qu Tutong, Li Keyong, Li Guangbi and others has skyrocketed and surpassed themselves. What's even more infuriating is that his younger brother Chai Rong, who was originally just following his buttocks, suddenly became a member of the governor and state.
Although he entered Shu this time in the name of a general manager, he still has an army of 30,000 under his hands. But Chai Shao knew in his heart that Li Yuan didn't expect him to win the battle at all, and let him lead the army into Shu just to give an explanation to the officials of Bashu, Haoqiang and Li Xiaogong, to prove that he Li Yuan had no intention of giving up Bashu. Otherwise, he would not have given himself 30,000 new troops, nor would he have sent only one Li Zicheng to help, let alone prevent his wife Li Xiuning from going out with the army.
And the reason for all this Chai Shao also knows it, that is, because he sent troops to Jingxiang and was unfortunately defeated and captured. Therefore, Chai Shao also held his breath when he entered Shu this time, and he must fight a few victories to wash away his shame and let his father-in-law look at him differently.
But what Chai Shao never expected was that in a dense forest not far away, a burly general and scribe were looking coldly at his camp, and these two people were none other than the initiators who brought him humiliation in the first place - Sui general Long Zhi and military advisor Li Mi who were sitting in Xicheng.
After the outbreak of the Battle of Bashu, Long Zhi and Li Mi received Li Jing's order, ordering them to find an opportunity to take Hanchuan and cut off the connection between Shuzhong and Guanzhong.
After receiving the order, Ryuji prepared to set off as an army, but the military advisor Li Mi stopped his action. Li Yu believes that once the war in Bashu starts, Li Yuan will send troops into Shu no matter what, if there are many soldiers and horses, then they can only wait until the Tang army enters Shu before going out, but if the Tang army does not have many reinforcements, then you can make good use of this support army.
Long Zhi felt that what Li Mi said was reasonable, and gladly accepted his suggestion. Leaving Guan Sheng to guard Xicheng, he secretly led the main force to move to the junction of Hanchuan and Xicheng, and waited until the scouts heard the arrival of Tang army reinforcements, and then quietly led the army into the Hanchuan territory.
In the depths of the dense forest, Long Zhi looked at the Tang army camp for a long time, and suddenly grinned: "Chai Shao's life is really bad, he was finally redeemed by Li Yuan'er from Jiangdu, and it will fall into my hands so soon!" ”
Li Mi also smiled slightly: "Although the Tang army has 30,000, according to the information we have observed and scouts, there is no doubt that this army should be a new army." And they should have thought it was safe, the camp was unstable, and the defenses were lax. Our army should have a ninety percent chance of winning this battle tonight. ”
Long Zhi laughed: "Ninety percent is too little, military advisor, you are still too cautious." I'm going to arrest Chai Shao's little boy now! As he spoke, he took his golden-backed knife from the hands of the soldiers behind him, glared at the stirrups with his legs, and rode away from the string.
。。。。。。。。。。
The rumbling drum soon shattered the silence of the night, and Chai Shao, who was standing outside the big tent and thinking, was suddenly startled and secretly said that it was not good. However, before he could make the next reaction, the Tang army camp on the periphery had already collapsed.
"Chong, capture Chai Shao'er alive!"
Long Zhi took the lead, and the big knife in his hand flew up and down, like chopping waves, and the horse's hooves were invincible, but in a few moments, more than 20 Tang soldiers had died under his knife.
"Ding Dong, it was detected that Ryuji has entered a state of bravery, force +4, base force 95, and the current force has risen to 99."
The mount under Long Zhi's crotch was given by Yang Gao many years ago, and the sprint speed is extremely fast. Guan Ling lost because of his mount, and at this time he had fallen behind Ryuji.
But Guan Ling has a young heart and has always liked to compete with others. At this moment, how could he allow himself to be left behind, desperately urging the war horse to charge forward, a green dragon glaive sword danced vigorously, and there was no enemy in front of the horse.
"Huangkou Xiao'er Hugh is going to be rampant, can you recognize Li Zicheng, the general of the Tang Army?" Li Zicheng, who had just put on his armor and came out of the tent, deceived Guan Ling young, shouted, slapped his horse and danced his knife and killed him directly.
Guan Ling couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I really don't know anyone else in the Tang Army, but you Li Zicheng's name master has really heard of it." Back then, you invaded Jingxiang with Li Jiancheng, and after you fled back to Guanzhong in embarrassment, you also used your subordinate Li Yan as a scapegoat. It's hard for the master to know such great achievements! ”
"Children are looking for death!"
Suddenly, the scar was revealed, Li Zicheng was so angry that he was about to burst, roared, and slashed at Guan Ling's neck with the big knife in his hand.
"Ding Dong, it was detected that Li Zicheng had entered a state of rage, with force +5, base force 87, and the current force rose to 92. Intelligence -6, base intelligence 85, current intelligence down to 79. ”
(PS: Two days ago, a book friend told me that Li Zicheng's force was too low, and I didn't want to adjust it at first, because he was about to die.) But then I looked at Li Zicheng's four-dimensional, and found that the four-dimensional given to King Li Chuang was indeed a little lower, so I adjusted it up slightly for him, just as the welfare of King Li Chuang before his death)
The corners of Guan Ling's mouth curled slightly, and he snorted coldly disdainfully, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand rushed towards Li Zicheng.
"Ding Dong, Guan Ling has been detected to have entered a state of bravery, force +4, base force 100, and the current force has risen to 104."
With the sound of the "bell", the two horses had already thought wrongly. Li Zicheng only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb for a while, and he couldn't help but be shocked, where did he dare to confront Guan Ling, and went elsewhere.
"Li Zicheng, the old thief, leave the head to the master!"
The Sui army has always used heads and prisoners of war to remember merits, but just killed Li Zicheng, which was like nothing happened to Guan Ling, so when he saw that Li Zicheng was about to escape, Guan Ling immediately urged the horse to chase after him.
Li Zicheng was chased by Guan Ling very quickly, and he lost his sense of proportion in a panic, and he didn't realize that he had inadvertently run in front of Long Zhi.
"Hahaha, I can't imagine that a certain family is so lucky, and there will be credit for sending it to the door!"
Seeing this, Ryuji laughed, and the golden-backed knife in his hand struck out like lightning. Li Zicheng only cared about guarding against Guan Ling behind him, and did not pay attention to the front at all, and was caught off guard by Long Zhi under the horse.
"Ding Dong, it was detected that Li Zicheng was killed by Long Zhi, and the host obtained 9 soul points, and the current soul points have risen to 172."
