Chapter 369: Jinju! (4th Watch)

In the camp of the Hedong army outside Jinju City, Li Chengsi, who had blood on the corners of his mouth and tattered armor in many places, was standing in front of Xue Zhiqin, the vanguard right army envoy, with a decadent face.

"What's going on? Heir, why haven't you come back alone? What about depositing? ”

Seeing that only Li Chengsi came back, but not Li Cunjin, who was traveling with him, Xue Zhiqin was a little worried, but he still hoped that he was thinking too much.

You must know that both Li Chengsi and Li Cunjin are the trusted generals around the county king, and Li Cunjin is the righteous son of the county king.

Although the title of the king of Longxi County used by Li Ke was cut at this time, in the eyes of the generals in Hedong, as long as the imperial army was defeated, it was not impossible for the king of Longxi County to even crown himself as the king of Jin.

Li Chenghe's expression was bitter, "Save it in him... If you put it in him, you should have died in battle. He rushed to the front, and should have been killed by that strange weapon of the imperial court. ”

"What strange weapon? Also, you have more than 10,000 cavalry, how can you be defeated like this, I have given you 3,000 Shatuo elites. Xue Zhiqin asked anxiously, he needed to urgently know how Li Chengsi was defeated.

You must know that he has 15,000 cavalry in his hands, including 5,000 elite Shatuo cavalry.

In order to allow Li Chengsi to inflict heavy losses on the imperial army, he gave the other party 3,000 elite Shatuo cavalry and 5,000 Han cavalry, a total of 8,000 cavalry.

Fortunately, less than a thousand people have fled, and all of them have lost their souls, as if they had been subjected to some terrible thing, and they had no fighting spirit at all.

Li Chengsi's fiasco left Xue Zhiqin with only 7,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry left.

Among them, in this large battalion outside Jinju City, there were only 4,000 cavalry, including 2,000 elite Shatuo cavalry. In addition, there are 7,000 foot soldiers left.

The remaining 3,000 cavalry and 8,000 foot soldiers were stationed in Hongdong, Zhaocheng and Yindi Pass, especially Yindi Pass, where 1,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers were stationed.

The geographical location of Yindiguan is dangerous, and Xue Zhiqin naturally does not dare to ignore it.

Although Li Chengji has not yet recovered from the previous blow, he still said that the imperial court has a strange weapon, as well as heavy cavalry.

Hearing that that kind of strange weapon could kill and injure cavalry in a large area, Xue Zhiqin racked his brains and couldn't think of what kind of weapon it would be, it could actually kill and injure cavalry in a large area, wouldn't this be the nemesis of cavalry?

Li Chengsi and the others had only seen this weapon from afar, and had never experienced it at all.

Because the people who have experienced it have all died on the battlefield, even if they survive under the flowering shells of artillery, they can't escape the strangulation of the forbidden cavalry in the end.

Compared to this strange weapon, Xue Zhiqin valued the heavy cavalry more.

As Lao Jiang, he naturally knew what it meant to be a heavy cavalry, and in the charge of the battle, the heavy cavalry could be described as invincible and invincible.

It's not that the generals in Hedong don't know the advantages of heavy cavalry, but the cost of heavy cavalry is very high, and the generals of the Shatuo tribe don't like to wear thick armor to fight, so there is no heavy cavalry in Hedong.

But I didn't expect the imperial court to actually build it, and the effect is still very good.

It seems that this matter must be reported to the county king, and no one knows how many heavy cavalry there are in the imperial court.

In fact, Xue Zhiqin was too worried, because the heavy cavalry currently only has 1,000 people in the Right Shence Army, and there are no left and right Tiance Army, because they have not had time to build it yet.

Moreover, the Right Tiance Army is facing nomads, and the heavy cavalry is not good.

The reason why Li Ye wanted to build heavy cavalry was more to deal with the cavalry of these feudal towns.

"General, if it weren't for the cavalry of Jinju who escaped from the battle, we would not have been defeated so badly." Seeing that Li Chengsi didn't say anything about Wang Linzhen's escape, the generals next to him couldn't help but speak.

"What's going on?" Xue Zhiqin looked at Li Chengsi suspiciously.

Li Chengsi glared at the other party, didn't he know that the king had run away?

But at this time, if this matter is brought to the table, what will be the consequences? That is, they Hedong and Jinju will be suspicious of each other, and the imperial army is behind them, and there will be internal strife throughout the time, wouldn't it be for the imperial court to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

。。。。。。

"Fool, who told you to escape? You know that if you do this, you let the father, let the entire Jinju army face Hedong? ”

In the Jinzhou Assassin Mansion, Wang Chongying, whose beard was standing up, was scolding his eldest son Wang, and the surrounding Wang Heng and other Jinzhou generals were watching silently from the sidelines, but they didn't dare to plead with Wang Chongying, who was angry.

Wang Chongying also claimed to be the envoy of the Hezhong Festival before, but since Wang Ke's death, Wang Chongying was afraid of the strength of the imperial court and took the initiative to change it to the Jinzhou Assassin History.

"Father, you don't know the situation at that time, if the child didn't retreat in time, maybe these two thousand people would not be able to bring back now. The imperial army is too powerful, they have a weapon that can kill and injure cavalry in a wide area, it is simply the nemesis of cavalry, and the Shatuo people can't stop it. ”

The king obviously didn't want to sit still, and seeing the strength of the imperial army, the idea of continuing to follow the Shatuo people faded.

Anyway, the imperial court didn't say that they Jinju was rebellious, since the imperial court intended to do so, why did they accept it if they didn't see it?

If they really waited for the imperial army to come, wouldn't they have to follow the Shatuo people to be buried together?

Syllable!

"Stupid, stupid fellow, how could I have such a stupid son as you? Look at your brother, what is not better than you? Just know self-righteousness.

Can you actually know the strength of the Shatuo people? No matter how strong the imperial army is, it can't compare to the Shatuo army, and I can't even see this situation clearly, how dare I hand over Jinju to you? ”

Hearing the eldest son's rebellious nonsense, Wang Chongying directly waved his right hand, slapped it towards the other party's face, and then roared.

"Come on, take this rebel down and keep him under strict guard, no one can let him out without my order."

Seeing the second son Wang Heng who wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, Wang Chongying glared at the other party fiercely, and the other party shrank his neck and stopped talking.

At this time, a personal soldier hurriedly came to report, "Assassin Shi, General Xue is here from the right army of the Hedong Vanguard." ”

Hearing that Xue Zhiqin was coming, Wang Chongying asked him to hurry up and take his eldest son down, he didn't know that the other party was here to ask the teacher about the crime.

Although the king did not do it right, after all, he was his eldest son, and it was impossible for him to hand over his son to outsiders, right?

He knew that if he didn't give Xue Zhiqin an explanation, it would be difficult to finish this matter.

Wang Chongying fell into a misunderstanding, that is, he thought that he had offended the imperial court, so he could only follow Li Ke to the dark with a path.

In his opinion, he has become a 'rebellion' in the eyes of the imperial court, and if he fights with Hedong again, he may not even be able to keep Jinju.

Don't look at the number of troops in his hands, but they are all strong men who were temporarily captured, where can they be compared with the fierce Shatuo army.

Just when Wang Chongying tried his best to dissipate Xue Zhiqin's anger, Fu Cunxian, as the vanguard, led thousands of cavalry of Zuo Yulin's army to conquer the weakly defended Taiping Pass and Xiangling County, and reached the city of Jinzhou.

Then Liu Kui led the main force of the Right Shence Army and the Left Yulin Army to arrive, and the army was stationed outside Xiangling County.

After all, the imperial army made Wang Chongying and Xue Zhiqin, who were a little disagreeable, only temporarily put aside their contradictions and jointly deal with the imperial army.

In view of Wang's escape from the battle, under Xue Zhiqin's strong persecution, Wang Chongying could only hand over the remaining 2,000 cavalry to Xue Zhiqin.

Looking at the dense military tents of the imperial army, whether it was Xue Zhiqin or Wang Chongying, they all felt great pressure.

The 1,000 heavy cavalry that Li Chengsi said also appeared, but no matter how provocative the forbidden army was, Xue Zhiqin, who had 6,000 cavalry, did not fight, but let people stick to the camp.

His camp and Jinju were each other's horns, and in his opinion, it was impossible for the imperial army to break through the city of Jinju. As long as Jinzhou City was not broken, his camp would be safe, and taking advantage of this gap, he hurriedly sent someone to report the situation here to Li Keyong, who was stationed in Fenzhou.
