Chapter Ninety-Five: Visiting Hongnong Palace
"General, it's not good, the enemy is coming!" A scout who survived finally fled back into the army.
"What enemy?!" Li Jing looked puzzled, could it be that Yang Xuangan was coming this way.
The scout didn't have time to explain the situation when he heard the roaring hooves of the horses, and saw dust rising in the distance.
"Not good! Hurry up! Li Jing hurriedly ordered, fortunately, when the soldiers rested, they also rested in place according to the way of array, otherwise it might be too late.
"The pikemen are the first line of defense, the spearmen are the second line of defense, the archers are ready!" Li Jing arranged it leisurely, although he didn't know who the enemy was, but looking at that style, it was definitely not a friendly army.
"Turks?!" Seeing that it was actually a Turkic person who was running away, Li Jing's pupils dilated unconsciously, and he couldn't believe it. "This is the hinterland of the Great Sui, how did the Turks get in?! Who the hell brought them in! Li Jing didn't have time to think about it, because the other party was already close to the range of the bow and arrow.
"Shizi, there is a team of people in front, about tens of thousands of people, and they have already set up a formation, what should we do?" Hou Junji asked.
"No matter who it is, rush over, hit it if you can, and say it if you can't." Li Shimin was shocked in his heart, he originally thought that there were only a few scouts, but he didn't expect that there were still tens of thousands of troops waiting for them, could it be that God wanted to play with them?
"Archers ready, put!" As the unknown enemy approached, Li Jing gave an order, and tens of thousands of arrows flew out.
"Archers shoot freely, throw guns ready, put!" Li Jing gave the order again, because the enemy army was all cavalry, and it was discovered relatively late, so both the archers and the spearmen only had time to fire a salvo, and the rest could only be short-handed.
With the rain of arrows and guns, the Turkic cavalry fell one by one, the people turned on their horses, and the horses behind did not have time to step directly on the fallen soldiers in front.
"This team is so terrifying, it's the first time I've seen it, who can train such a powerful soldier?" Li Shimin's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry had only just been built, and it had only participated in two battles, so it was impossible to drink the Turkic soldiers at all, so he ran to the back, but this slowness was unscathed, unlike the Turkic cavalry, which was put down by an unknown army with one or two thousand people, and countless wounded.
"The pikemen blocked, and the archers scattered and fired freely." Li Jing knew that once these cavalry were allowed to charge into battle, the consequences would definitely be unbearable for him.
"Lord Wang, there is Hongnong Palace in front, it seems that Laihu'er should occupy the city." Han Shige looked at the big flag floating at the head of Hongnong Palace and said.
"It seems that we won't be able to meet Yang Xuangan for the last time, let's go, follow this king into the city to see how brilliant this palace is!"
When Yang Xuan and his party entered Hongnong Palace, they saw that many soldiers were cleaning the bloodstains on the streets, it seems that there must have been a life-and-death battle here, and it seems that the remaining soldiers still swore to resist after Yang Xuangan retreated.
"Let's go, let's go and meet my old friend General Laihu'er, it is estimated that he will vomit three liters of blood when he sees the appearance of your thousands of people now, haha!" Yang Jian said half-jokingly, it is true, the 3,500 people that Yang Jin is going to leave have already transformed after repeated battles in Qingzhou, they are no longer the elite of the various battalions, they are now a whole, and the momentum shown by a whole is by no means comparable to one person. It is estimated that if you don't vomit blood, you will be depressed for a long time.
At this time, Laihu'er was busy with post-war work under the commander of the battalion.
"General, the prince is here?" Just as Lai'er was busy, a guard walked in to spread the word.
"Lord Wang? Where did the prince come from? Missing! Don't you see I'm busy? Lai Hu'er responded very mechanically, and the deputy general Zhou Faxing went on patrol, and there was no one to share in the handling of the post-war affairs, where would he have time to meet with any prince.
"It's really hard to see the general." At this time, a voice came into the tent, Lai Hu'er was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed, this voice is a voice that he can still remember in his dreams, it is the owner of this voice knocked a large number of elites from his hands, and now this voice is here again.
"It turned out to be the king of Qi, who missed the distance, and hoped to forgive his sins." Laihu'er said, but his body didn't even move.
"Old fox." Yang Jun despised it in his heart, but he still had to maintain due etiquette on his face.
"The general is polite, this king is just stopping by, and I saw the general's banner fluttering in the city, so I came over to thank the general for his gift that day, so that this king can get an elite division, and now they are also coming with this king, I don't know if the general wants to go and greet the old subordinates." Yang Yong's words are absolutely annoying, isn't this sprinkling salt on other people's wounds?
"No need, Ben will be very busy, if the prince has nothing to do, he will take your people to walk through the street." This kid is definitely angry, and he came to protect his son from one place, so he had to issue an eviction order.
"It's okay, this king won't bother the general to be busy, I'll go to visit this palace by myself, to be honest, I really haven't been to this Hongnong Palace, and I don't know how magnificent it is? I don't know if the accompanying capital of Jinyang Palace and Jiangdu is also the same as this Hongnong Palace, I really want to go to see all the palaces. Yang Jun said that the construction of the capital and the palace began during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jin later fell out of favor and was grounded for many years, and he never even went out of the capital, let alone see the palace and the capital.
"Oh yes, this king almost forgot to congratulate the general on quelling Yang Xuangan's rebellion, the general's military exploits are brilliant in the annals of history." Yang Jun is talking nonsense with his eyes open, and the whole world knows that Yuwenshu is besieging Yang Xuangan, but the joke just now was a little big, so Yang Yong's little sycophant was sent, so as not to get this old guy to hold a grudge and not want to join his own camp, he has an army of 200,000 in his hands.
didn't wait for Lai Hu'er to say anything, Yang Yun left the big tent with a smile, and went to appreciate the glory of the palace, since the war has ended, then it should be a tourist. Yang Jun's heart is quite open, after all, the real years of chasing deer have not yet come, otherwise how can there be such leisure time.
"They're being chased, let them go." Li Shimin looked at the army that fought and retreated, and the army that was not chaotic in formation was well founded, and it was big for a while, unless it had several times the strength of this kind of army, it would not be completely annihilated, and it would be difficult to even leave them.
"Son, they may already know what we have done, and if we don't destroy them all, maybe we will miss the target." Hou Junji said anxiously.
"No need, let's not say that we can't leave them at all, even if we stay, it is impossible to kill them all, and the follow-up army of Yuwen Shu will come at any time, and these people may not know us, because I have never seen these people, otherwise how can someone with such talent be nameless?" Li Shimin saw the situation in front of him clearly, but he had a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that the other party would not know him and others.
"Let's go, go back to Hongnong Palace, no matter what, you have to get some grain and grass, at least you can exchange Yang Xuangan's head for something." Li Shimin felt that if Yang Xuangan's head was handed over, then at least he could exchange enough grain and grass with Laihu'er, and pay the accounts of these Turks first, otherwise he really didn't know what these barbarians could do to you.
