95,Chapter 14 (7)
Li Xiaogong heard that Xiao Miao's general Wen Shihong's army was coming, and he was about to rush up to fight him regardless of 3721, but was ruthlessly stopped by Li Jing.
Li Jing's suggestion was reasonable: the scribe Hong was brave and good at fighting, he was a good fighter, and the troops he led were all elite. This time, he came to save the peril, and he was fully prepared and determined, and his morale should not be underestimated. We can anchor our ships on the south shore, stop fighting for a while, wear down their whims, and defeat them in one fell swoop.
However, the young and vigorous Li Xiaogong short-circuited his brain this time and no longer listened to Li Jing's advice, which made Li Jing speechless and almost spurted blood.
Li Xiaogong said: "When you set off from Kuizhou, did you say that the soldiers wanted gods? If we don't go to war for a long time, isn't it equivalent to growing their morale and destroying their own prestige! Moreover, when Xiao Miao's reinforcements arrive, there will be no hope of our victory. ”
Li Xiaogong's words sound reasonable at first glance, but in the face of the current situation, Li Jing's insight is accurate enough.
Li Jing reasoned with him bitterly, he insisted on fighting, he was Li Yuan's nephew, he was a member of their Li family, Li Jing was just assisting him, he was stubborn and there was no way for him, otherwise, he would tie up this stubborn boy and throw him into the black room.
Li Xiaogong insisted on fighting, and Li Jing had to be ready to face the battle, and act at any time, so nervous that he had difficulty breathing.
……
Sure enough, Li Xiaogong was defeated, and he was really slapped in the face.
Li Jing took the opportunity to counterattack, knocked the enemy down in one fell swoop, harvested more than 400 warships, and killed nearly 10,000 people.
Li Jing, who turned defeat into victory, didn't have time to take a breath of anger, taking advantage of the heat of the victory, he led 5,000 elite soldiers to defeat the fierce generals Zheng Wenxiu and Yang Junmao under Xiao Mill, captured more than 4,000 enemy troops, and approached the city of Jiangling, the capital of Xiao Milling.
In short, if there was no Li Jing, a fierce general, Li Xiaogong would only have died.
The enemy has been in the city, the situation is pressing, the current test, so that Xiao Milling is really anxious, in order to cut the power of the heroes, disarmament and return to the peasants, Jiangling only left thousands of soldiers, facing the Tang army such as a sudden torrential rain in June, Xiao Milling hurriedly issued an order to call the soldiers who returned to the peasants to come back to fight.
These warrior brothers who went home to farm were far away in the Yangtze River, south of Wuling, and far away from Jiangling, and they couldn't come in a day or two, after all, they didn't have wings and could fly at once.
Since the brothers who were farming could not fly in for a while, they simply abandoned their positions outside the city and reduced their forces to defend the city with all their might, but the Tang army occupied the outer city and the water city of Jiangling without much effort.
Shuicheng is the base of Xiao Mill's naval army, which cheapened the Tang army, and they collected a lot of ships here.
When the Tang army was overjoyed to get these things, Li Jing once again showed his amazing military talent and made a suggestion that made everyone jaw-dropping, ordering the ships to be put into the middle of the river and let them drift along the Yangtze River.
Li Jing didn't give everyone a reasonable explanation, and everyone would not easily throw the "treasure" they seized with their lives into the water.
Everyone shouted that the seized loot would never be thrown into the water, and it was a pity to think about it.
Li Jing was very helpless and lonely, and no one thought of a reason to do so.
