Chapter 1149: Rupture

Qian Shouyi and Qian Wendong once again broke out into a serious conflict.

Li Dang led 3,000 cavalry to Yichun, and the purpose of his visit was self-evident.

The matter has come to this point, if you want to be good, I am afraid that it is impossible. But on top of the enemy's strategy, Qian Shouyi and Qian Wendong could not be unified.

Qian Wendong hoped to hold on to the city.

Although Yichun City is so badly damaged that there is no gate left, this is not a problem that cannot be solved, and only civil engineering work can completely block the gate.

In Qian Wendong's view, there is no chance of winning a field battle with the Tang Army, and if there is a strong city, it is a fool. What's more, after Liu Xinda occupied Yichun this time, there was still a limit to the number of people he killed, and a large number of young people were left in the city, and these people could be organized, or forced to go up the city wall to assist the army in defending the city.

What's more, this time Li Kang also brought cavalry, the cavalry is not good at attacking the city, and he will defend the city by himself, Li Kang will definitely not abandon his own strengths and forcibly attack the city. I will definitely mobilize my foot soldiers to keep up and then attack Yichun.

But it will take time.

During this period of time, the Jiangxi Observation enabled Qian Wenzhong to continuously transport the large troops that had been assembled to Yichun, where a large-scale confrontation with the Tang army was formed.

Although Qian Wenzhong didn't want to reach such a situation with Tang Jun, things had already developed to this point, so he couldn't help but be willing.

Qian Shouyi is his son, is it possible that Qian Wenzhong can still watch his son being killed by the Tang Army?

Qian Wendong believes that the Tang army does not want to start a large-scale battle with Jiangxi or the Southern Alliance at present, otherwise they would have moved south long ago, instead of grinding and chattering as they do now. In that case, a large-scale confrontation may be able to achieve good results and win the opportunity to negotiate with the opponent.

In Qian Wendong's opinion, the Tang army only lost twelve small soldiers, which was not a big loss. Li Dang just can't get up and down. If the two sides can stop fighting, even if they can compensate the Tang Army.

As long as you can talk, you can always talk about something. If it is operated properly, it is not impossible to keep Yichun and Pingxiang.

The two had a big fight, but this time, Qian Wendong had the upper hand.

Most of the generals present were on Qian Wendong's side.

First, it was Qian Wendong who made great sense.

Second, it is naturally because the Northern Tang Dynasty army is famous, especially the Northern Tang cavalry, which is even more famous in the world.

Compared with the cavalry of the Northern Tang Dynasty, the cavalry of the Jiangxi Observation Embassy felt that they were one level shorter than the other party, and if they really fought, they would have no bottom in their hearts.

No one wants to die!

If you can not die, it is naturally excellent.

Qian Wendong had an overwhelming advantage, and Qian Shouyi was extremely angry, but he could only agree. He is not stupid, when his closest subordinates do not agree with his plan, what can he do except compromise?

In such a situation, Qian Wendong may really take away his military power. After all, Qian Wendong is his second uncle, and these cavalry generals will not feel that they have betrayed their father.

Qian Wendong immediately began to arrange the defense of the city.

Everyone in Yichun was forced to go out and start building the damaged parts of the city wall, and improvised rolling stones, rolling wood, and other things were also continuously moved to the city wall.

And when Yichun was not completely prepared, the 3,000 cavalry led by Li Kang had already arrived outside Yichun City.

At this time, Qian Wendong made another move that surprised everyone.

He decided to go out of the city in person and have a good talk with Li Dang.

The city gate has been blocked, and Qian Wendong fell down the city.

Outside the city, the twelve coffins he prepared in advance contained the remains of twelve Tang army scouts, as well as the horses left behind by these soldiers, personal belongings and weapons and equipment, Qian Wendong packed them all and sent them to Li Kangjun.

It can be said that in order to negotiate peace with Tang Jun, Qian Wendong still spent a lot of effort and thought.

Qian Wendong, who was bare-handed, walked in the front, and dozens of young men who had been captured from Yichun City carried twelve coffins and stopped dozens of steps away from Li Kangjun's formation.

An officer of the Tang Army came on horseback.

"A certain Qian Wendong, Jiangxi Observation Envoy under the jurisdiction of the army Sima!" Qian Wendong clenched his fists: "I ask to see General Li Kang." Inside, are the bodies of twelve soldiers of your army. ”

The Tang Army officer ignored Qian Wendong, but walked to the coffin, pushed open the lid of the coffin with both hands, and stared at the face inside.

Among the first coffins was Shen Laosan.

The fatal wound was a shot between the chest and abdomen.

The officer of the Tang Army looked at this familiar face, his nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears. Speaking of the officers in the Right Qianniu Guard, there are really not many people who don't know this veteran. Almost every one of them has received special training from Shen Laosan. Shen Sanqiu's skills are something that every Tang Jun needs very much.

Stretched out his hand and gently patted Shen Sanqiu's cheek: "Third brother, you should go slowly, the younger brothers have to send you something!" ”

Closing the lid of the coffin, the officer carefully probed the remains of the other eleven coffins, and then turned around and said to Qian Wendong; "Let's go!"

Seeing Qian Wendong and the officer coming in this direction, Li Dang in the distance waved his hand, and hundreds of cavalry on each wing immediately rushed forward and began to be on guard, while the remaining cavalry dismounted with Li Dangqi.

A trumpeter whistled a mournful tone. In a bleak tone, the cavalrymen who remained in place fell to their knees in unison.

"Take the brothers home!" Li Dare shouted.

Dozens of Tang soldiers rushed out, took twelve coffins from the shoulders of those young and strong people, carried them on their shoulders, and headed towards the large army.

Qian Wendong's heart was half cold.

Tang Jun's drums and trumpets were very pathetic, but their fighting spirit was raised in this pathetic tone, section by section, and the closer he got, the more he could feel this.

"General Li Dang!" Seeing those coffins being transported to the rear, and watching Li Kang's subordinates turn over and get on their horses again, Qian Wendong took a long breath, walked to Li Kang, who was standing with a knife, and clasped his fists.

"What else do you have to say?" Li Dang asked coldly.

"It's a misunderstanding!" Qian Wendong said: "I deeply regret the death of twelve of your soldiers, and for this, we are willing to make compensation." ”

Li Dang sneered, his eyes crossed Qian Wendong, looked at Yichun City behind him, and said lightly: "Okay, hand over the murderer of our soldiers and withdraw from Yichun City, this matter will be settled." ”

Qian Wendong protested: "General Li, Yichun belongs to my Jiangxi Observation Embassy. ”

"Yichun has been abandoned after the fall of the bandit Liu Xinda, it belongs to the ownerless, since our soldiers have arrived and planted the flag of our army, it is our territory. You have killed our soldiers and invaded our territory, and I have been extremely tolerant of such a disposition! Li Dang glared at Qian Wendong.

"General Li, you are making it difficult for a strong man! Yichun has always belonged to the Jiangxi Observation Mission, and we are just here to take back what belongs to us. ”

"When our soldiers plant our flags, this place will not belong to you!" Li dared to say.

"General Li, are you going to war with us?" Qian Wendong said angrily.

"It's not a war, it's just a matter of taking back what belongs to us. Even if there is a war, it is you who provoke the conflict between the two sides. If you had not killed our soldiers, what would have happened today? Li Dang sneered.

"Today I saw what it means to be forceful." Qian Wendong sighed helplessly: "But General Li Kang, now that our side has prepared a defense in Yichun City, three thousand elites and thousands of young people, with your three thousand cavalry, can you capture it?" Observing the tens of thousands of troops mobilized by the embassy, they are hurrying towards Yichun, how is General Li going to deal with himself? Are you trying to provoke a large-scale war between the two sides? I think, this is not Chang'an, it's not what your Emperor Majesty wants, right? ”

"What does His Majesty the Emperor want, and how do you know?" Li dared to laugh: "Li, as a front-line general, only knows that my twelve soldiers were killed by you, and they died heroically in order to defend my land in Datang, if I don't avenge them, how can I explain to hundreds of thousands of troops in Datang?" ”

"General Li, is this a must-fight? Does General Li Mi agree? Qian Wendong said angrily.

Li Dang laughed: "My 3,000 cavalry is enough." Qian Wendong, I won't kill you, you go back, but see how I broke through your Yichun City. ”

Qian Wendong hung his head in annoyance.

Regardless of whether Li dares to fight Yichun City or not, as long as there is a war, it is not what he wants. What if Li Kang is defeated? Next, the large forces of the Tang army must have rushed over in a steady stream, and finally formed a full-scale confrontation between the entire right Qianniuwei of the Tang army and the Jiangxi Observation Embassy. If Jiangxi does not get the support of other southern festivals, how can Jiangxi support it?

Xiang Jun is indeed on his way, but with only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses he brought, can he change the disadvantage on the battlefield?

Looking at Li Kang, who was standing awe-inspiringly, and at the Tang soldiers who were glaring at him with their swords, Qian Wendong sighed, turned around and walked towards Yichun City.

The matter has come to this, what can the husband say?

There is only one battle.

Only when we win the war can we continue to talk.

If you lose, you don't need to say anything, all the previous plans will be in vain.

Seeing Qian Wendong come back, Qian Shouyi was excited.

Fight a battle, let the Tang army, who underestimated him, take a good look at whether their Jiangxi soldiers can be bullied by them at will. He also wanted to see how the other party could break through Yichun City with some cavalry and no siege equipment.

Earlier they had only killed twelve people, and in this battle, he had them die one hundred and twenty, or one thousand two hundred.
