Chapter 404: Chieftain (4)
Li Jiqian, under the protection of his personal guards, rushed to the streets and alleys of the eighteenth turn alley with Zhang Pu, and suddenly had an idea when he passed through the south city gate; He was going to check the sentry, so the group headed for the south gate.
The party soldiers on the south gate had already been killed by Huo Renfu and Kan Lang.
After Huo Renfu and Kan Lang killed the party guards on the south city gate, they sent two soldiers to Jiuwu Mountain to report the situation to Lu Chengyu, the general of the horses; The remainder removed the bodies of a dozen party soldiers and changed into their costumes to patrol the sentry posts.
It was also a matter of snorting melon seeds and stinking a bedbug, Huo Renfu and they had just removed the corpses of the party soldiers and stood on the sentry; I saw Li Jiqian leading dozens of guards to this side.
Grandpa Huo met Li Jiqian in the Qingshichuan Horse Husbandry Supervisor, at that time this guy was young but very calm; Seeing that the 100 dead soldiers led by him were surrounded by hundreds of soldiers from Chengdu Mansion and Horse Herding Prison, he knew that he was not in love with war; Flee all the way.
Li Jiqian and his dead soldiers escaped from the Qingshichuan Horse Husbandry Prison and did not return to the Dangxiang Qiang Village Dog Lie in Liangchuan, but returned directly to the north.
Li Jiqian's expansion of the army in the southwest Songyan District was completely ruined, but the 100 dead soldiers he led retreated without wounding a single soldier or a horse, which was also a great luck in misfortune.
After Li Jiqian returned to the Northland, he hibernated for a period of time, and his philosophy of life was very realistic: escaping a catastrophe is a catastrophe, and escaping a catastrophe is a difficulty; As long as you live is the greatest victory.
Over the years, Li Jiqian has relied on this concept of life; In the gap between the two great powers of Song and Liao, he was easily maneuvered, and he was defeated again and again, and he was never discouraged after repeated defeats.
Li Jiqian also had victories in repeated defeats and battles, such as robbing several cities of the Song army; He also used treacherous deception to trap and kill Cao Guangshi, the inspection envoy of Kyushu in the north of the Song Court.
After Cao Guangshi was booby-trapped by Li Jiqian, there was a shouting and beating from the Song court; Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty ordered Tian Renlang, the prefect of Qinzhou, and Li Jilong, the general, to join forces to encircle and suppress Li Jiqian.
But Li Jiqian was in the three caves of the lonely rabbit, one moment in Jinze, one moment in Lingzhou, and one moment in Daxia City; It made Tian Renlang and Li Jilong dizzy.
In particular, Li Jiqian used Daxia City as a barrier, and the Song army was even more difficult.
The city of Daxia is the city of Tongwan, which was built by hundreds of thousands of people in the north driven by the Huns Helian Bobo of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
When Helian Bo built the Great Xia City, the means used were to steam the soil and glutinous rice in a cage drawer and then tamp it with a stone, which can be described as solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Tian Renlang and Li Jilong besieged Tongwan City several times in vain.
Tongwan City was deserted for a week, and it was difficult for the Song army to adapt; Tian Renlang and Li Jilong had no choice but to retreat to Yan'an Mansion and prepare for another battle.
After the outbreak of the epidemic in Yanzhou and Hongzhou, the Song army had no choice but to boycott the army.
Li Jiqian stayed in Tongwan City, but he was happy, because Tongwan City had a secret road connecting with Lingzhou in the west; The party's supplies to the army could be secretly transported in through secret channels, so Li Jiqian was able to hold on to the city.
These days, Li Jiqian was trapped in Tongwancheng thinking about the problem of marching to Hexi in one step.
Hexi is the Hexi Corridor, which was ruled by the Huns; After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched the Battle of Hexi, the Huns were driven away, and the Han Dynasty established Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County there.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the four counties of Hexi changed hands repeatedly, one was the Han people, the other was the Tubo people, and the other was the Huanghu people.
Now it seems that the four counties of Hexi are ruled by Pan Luozhi of the Six Valleys of Tubo, with Li Jiqian's three-inch incorruptible tongue; It is still certain to serve Pan Luozhi to fight against the Song Dynasty together.
Once the party members and the six Tibetan tribes united to resist the Song Dynasty, then the four counties of Hexi would be under the actual control of Li Jiqian; At that time, it was the right time to mention the founding of the party again......
Li Jiqian's thinking was boiling, and Zhang Pu came back; Zhang Pu was detained by Song Taizong and fled back in Bianliang.
As soon as the two met, they were like brothers reunited after a few years, hugging tightly and cordially.
Zhang Pu is a Han Chinese, but it is this Han man who has faithfully assisted Li Jiqian over the years; It is no exaggeration to say that Li Jiqian can have such a big force at the moment; Zhangpu is the first project.
Zhang Puneng was detained by the Song Dynasty and fled back to see Li Jiqian, which shows that his loyalty can be revealed.
Zhang Pu sat down and said a few words to Li Jiqian, and then mentioned the epidemic epidemic; The security army Jiuwu Mountain came to a fairy who prevented the epidemic and controlled the epidemic, and he was going to invite the people who came to save the people of Daxia City.
Li Jiqian agreed to Zhang Pu's request, and Zhang Pu really invited the fairy god to the streets and alleys of the Eighteen Corners Hutong to start epidemic prevention and control.
Li Jiqian was happy in his heart, and he wanted to go to the eighteenth turn of Hutong to meet the fairy; When he crossed the south gate, he had to check the post on a whim.
As everyone knows, it is no longer a party soldier on the sentry, but an auspicious army arranged by Liu Min.
Li Jiqian walked towards the south gate with dozens of guards and Zhang Pu, and Grandpa Huo gathered his eyes to see; Seeing that Li Jiqian was already a little cumbersome, he whispered to Kan Lang and the dozen or so Song soldiers on the sentry: "The person coming to us is Li Jiqian, it seems that the time for fighting is ahead of schedule!" ”
Grandpa Huo looked at Kan Lang and said solemnly: "General Kan quickly sent two soldiers to the streets and alleys of the Eighteen Turns Hutong to report to Miss Min, and the rest of the people immediately prepared for battle!" ”
Grandpa Huo arranged for more than a dozen Song soldiers to stop at the sentry, and everyone quietly took out the three weapons they carried.
All three weapons are the same as the combo crossbow, which can shoot 20 bolts in a row by pulling the trigger.
The same is a spear, with two hooks on the left and right sides of the tip of the spear; It's like Liangshan Bo Xu Ning's hook and sickle gun.
The third is the Mo knife. The Mo knife was modified and recreated by Liu Min's armory workshop in Tokyo City according to the style of the Mo knife in the Tang Dynasty.
The recreated Mo knife is single-edged and extremely sharp, and it is a weapon that is not long or short; Chopping down the enemy and sparing the horse team is no problem.
There are three kinds of weapons, such as spears, crossbow machines, and Mo knives, and the Xiang army all have them, according to Liu Min's law; 800 Xiangjun can top 8000 after having three weapons, if you meet Li Jiqian's iron harrier; It will also be wiped out.
Theoretically speaking, Liu Min's purpose in equipping the Xiang army with three weapons: spears, crossbows, and moswords, was to eliminate Li Jiqian's iron harriers.
Li Jiqian is a native of the Northland, and he can't help but train a palace guard army - Iron Harrier over the years; He also trained the Bu Bazi and the Poxi Army.
The tenacious survival of the Dangxiang people between the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao, Uighurs, and Tibetans benefited from their fierce folk customs and the three deadly armies - the Poxi Army, the Bubazi, and the Iron Harrier.
The Poxi Army, Bubazi, and Iron Harrier each have their own strengths and complement each other, forming a powerful force to guard the party; The party members have endured for a long time because of the three major special forces.
"Bubazi" is an infantry, but this is definitely not an ordinary infantry, its difference is that it goes up and down the hillside, in and out of the stream, the most can go beyond the height and distance, light footed and good at walking; When encountering the enemy in the deep and dangerous places of the valley, they often use foot treks to stab and cover the attack.
Bubazi is not an ordinary infantry in positional warfare, it is a kind of special forces, mainly used for special terrain operations, such as mountains, valleys, etc.
How could the party members create this kind of troops? This is because there are many mountainous terrains around the territory of Dangxiang Rao, and the junction of Dangxiang and Tubo, Song, and Liao is full of mountains, hills, and river valleys.
In the battles with these countries, the Iron Harrier, as the main force of the party, could not use its specialties well because it was a cavalry unit; Therefore, the party members formed a foot bazi to cooperate with the iron harrier to fight.
The source of Bubazi mainly comes from mountainous areas, such as the Hengshan area, so it is also called "Hengshan Bubazi".
The party men often use infantry and cavalry to cooperate with each other from afar, first use the whirlwind cannon of the Pop Xi Army to carry out long-range attacks, wait for the enemy to approach, and then use the iron harrier to carry out a frontal assault, and after breaking through the enemy formation, the infantry will be mixed behind the iron harrier to take advantage of the situation to kill into the enemy formation.
This tactic of the party has caused their enemies to suffer a lot. Bubazi are mainly deployed in places with mountains, hills, and river valleys.
Dang Xiang Rao's special forces can't help but remind people of the "Wudang Flying Army" of Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms.
The Wudang Fei Army is a special force trained by the Shu Han court according to the special terrain in the Guanlong area, and the source of soldiers comes from the Qiang people in southern Sichuan.
The Wudang Flying Army was a fierce mountain army, and Zhang He, the general of Cao Wei, died under the fast crossbow of the Wudang Flying Army.
The first commander of the Wudang Flying Army was Wang Ping, the "Five Tigers of Shu Han".
The second commander was Zhang Wei, and Zhang Jing, a descendant of Zhang Wei, was the second shop that led Liu Min to the restaurant in the Qingshichuan Horse Farm; It's a pity that Zhang Jing died for the country after coming to Tokyo.
Li Jiqian suddenly stopped when he approached the sentry post at the South City Gate, because he saw that the person standing on the sentry was not a party soldier.
This Li Jiqian is also a real thief, it is indeed not the party soldiers standing on the sentry, but Huo Renfu and Kan Lang, more than a dozen Song soldiers, but Huo Renfu They are wearing the clothes of the party soldiers, how can Li Jiqian tell the difference.
This is probably Li Jiqian's thief's eye fire spirit, because he found out that Huo Renfu was a veteran; And the soldiers guarding the gate of Xiazhou City have no veterans!
Li Jiqian shouted after seeing the flaw: "It's not good, the guard standing on the south gate is Song Jun; We were deceived by Song Jun! Zhang Gong hurriedly summoned the army, and the Song army had already entered the city! ”
Zhang Pu walked beside Li Jiqian and was complacent about his successful invitation to the "fairy" to prevent and control the epidemic, but he heard Li Jiqian shout out Song Jun; Hurriedly swept his gaze to the south city gate, only to see more than a dozen people rushing over with Mo knives in hand, and his heart was nervous
After Li Jiqian asked Zhang Pu to greet the army, Huo Di suddenly pulled out a Turkic scimitar from his waist and held it in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "The white-clothed fairy invited by Zhang Gong may also be dressed by the Song army!" A breeze in the ear," Li Jiqian shouted to a guard beside him: "Immediately inform the drum and bugle bearers to blow the emergency military horn and the whole city will be under martial law, don't let go of the Song army!" ”
The guards who were shouted by Li Jiqian as a breeze heard Li Jiqian's instructions, and turned around and left as soon as he promised; But he was thrown by Grandpa Huo's broad bean sleeve stone to concentrate his eyes.
The breeze was hit by Grandpa Fire's broad bean sleeve stone, squatted on the ground and squeaked and shouted, and Grandpa Huo's broad bean sleeve stone hit Li Jiqian's eye socket again.
Li Jiqian stretched out the Turkic scimitar to block it, only to hear a "bang" sound; The broad bean sleeve stone was knocked to the ground.
Li Jiqian saw that someone in the Song army would use a hidden weapon, shouting and about to escape, Kan Lang and several people had already brandished Mo knives and rushed over.
Liu Min's well-designed Mo knife is really not an ordinary remnant but a second one, Kan Lang rushed up and slashed down; Li Jiqian was a guard, and he was in a different place.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Pu also pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "You can't fight, hurry up and protect the king and retreat!" ”
The dozens of guards who followed Li Jiqian to the south city gate had been cut down by Kan Lang and Grandpa Huo, seven or eight of them, and they hurriedly covered Li Jiqian's escape to an alleyway without giving their lives; But he met Liu Min's first school who came from the streets and alleys of Eighteen Kidnappers Hutong
Liu Min and his entourage were boiling Chinese herbal medicine in the streets and alleys of Eighteen Kidnappers Hutong to treat the people, and Li Jiqian, a soldier of the Song Army who came to report the news, found Grandpa Huo standing guard at the south gate; Two strikes may have already gotten up.
Liu Min asked the soldiers of the Song Army who reported the news: Did you send someone to tell Chitose the horse? Report that the soldiers of the Song army have sent someone.
Liu Min shouted "yes", and immediately beckoned Shang Hongyun, Liang Ding, Guo Yuquan, and Tu Youmei to kill several martial arts masters.
Liu Min and his entourage, who were out of the alleyway, saw dozens of people rushing in front of them in a panic, and took a closer look to see that it was Li Jiqian and Zhang Pu; Then he shouted: "Arrest the thief Li Jiqian!" ”
Liu Min shouted and took the lead, brandishing the Mo knife and rushing forward to kill.
Zhang Pu saw that the "fairy" who was invited by him to prevent the epidemic shouted the words "arrest Li Jiqian"; also brandished the Mo knife in his hand, knowing that he was fooled; Quickly let more than a dozen guards resist Liu Min, and he and Li Jiqian flashed through a secret door and fled.
After Li Jiqian fled, those guards did not love to fight; Flee after his master.
Grandpa Huo and Kan Lang chased after him, and when they saw that Liu Min had arrived, they made the situation clear.
Liu Min frowned and said, "Thief Li may go to summon his special forces!" ”
Grandpa Huo stared at Liu Min unreasonably and said in surprise: "Li Jiqian summoned special forces? What are Special Forces? ”
"Li Jiqian has three special forces, one is called Iron Harrier, the second is called Bubazi, and the third is called Poxi Army!" Liu Min solemnly said: "Iron Harrier, Bubazi, and Poxi Army must be in Xiazhou City, we must find a way to wipe them out!" ”
"How to extinguish it!" Kan Lang asked a little anxiously, not without anxiety: "The follow-up troops of the master have not yet arrived, we only have more than a hundred people, how to deal with Li Jiqian's three special forces?" ”
"The soldiers will block the water and come to the earth!" Liu Min cut the gold and cut the railway: "Li Jiqian's iron harrier is a heavy armored cavalry, and it has the advantage of being invulnerable to swords, but it can only be deployed in the open field; Now it is in Tongwancheng Street, and the streets and alleys of the city are vertical and horizontal; The spear hook and sickle in our hands can meet a good meal! ”
Liu Min calmed down and said: "As for Li Jiqian's footsteps, they are infantry, and there are characteristics of climbing mountains and stepping on dangerous roads, and such a flat road as Tongwancheng can't play a role!" ”
"So where is the Poxy Army?" Hongyun suddenly asked, "Why are you called Po Xijun?" ”
Liu Min smiled abruptly: "Po Xijun is just throwing stones and tiles!" ”
After a pause, he cleared his throat and said: "The reason why it is called the Poxi Army is to install a stone thrower on the back of a camel and throw huge stones out to smash people!" ”
After Liu Min finished the above words, he suddenly looked at Grandpa Huo and Kan Lan: "Is the South City Gate still in our hands now?" ”
Grandpa Huo was stunned and said, "We killed the party soldiers guarding the city gate and changed them into their costumes to guard; But being recognized by Li Jiqian, more than a dozen of us all fought fiercely against the people led by Li Jiqian, and we didn't take care of the affairs at the city gate! ”
"Grandpa Fire will immediately take people back to guard the city gate!" Liu Min couldn't wait and said: "Otherwise, Lu Yuma's follow-up troops won't be able to enter......
