Chapter 267: The First Battle of Li Cunxiao (4,000 Words)

"Drive! Drive! ”

In the north direction of Chang'an City, the sound of horses' hooves raised the rolling yellow sand, and hundreds of cavalrymen were waving their whips vigorously to make the horses under their seats run faster.

Behind them, more than 2,000 cavalry were chasing.

Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, Yang Fugong was also a little anxious.

After the failure of last night's plan, he fled north on war horses with more than a thousand cronies under the cover of his righteous son Yang Shouli.

The direction of their escape was Suining, and their purpose was self-evident, to go to Suining Jiedu to make Yang Shouliang.

Although the plan in the city failed, Yang Fugong still had a backup move, that is, Yang Shouliang, Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong.

The combined armies of the three are nearly 100,000, and with the bravery of the Shatuo army, they are not invincible. If he invades Chang'an, he can turn defeat into victory, and when the time comes, he will definitely make King Shou, Li Maozhen, Wan Baichuan and others die ugly.

Especially Li Maozhen and Wan Baichuan.

Thinking that Yang Shouxin and Yang Shouzhen died so unclearly, Yang Fugong was very angry in his heart, but he didn't expect that he would be pecked blind by geese one day. Although Yang Shouxin is not his adopted son, he is no different from his adopted son, except for Yang Shouliang, he is the person he relies on the most, but he didn't expect to be stabbed to death from behind.

But at this time, Yang Fugong thought that these were useless, if they couldn't get rid of this chasing army, they would have to explain here.

"Father-in-law, what now? Our horses are not as fast as theirs, and sooner or later we will be overtaken. Yang Shouzhen on horseback looked back and saw the Jinyi Guard cavalry in hot pursuit, his expression was full of worry.

Yang Fugong glanced back, looked at the soldiers around him, and was ruthless, "Divide some people to drag the chasing soldiers for our family." ”

"Yes."

Soon, under Yang Shouli's order, more than a hundred Shence Army cavalry suddenly stopped, then turned around, looked at the oncoming Jinyi Guard cavalry, clamped the horse's belly, and suddenly accelerated.

They know what to do, but that's their fate.

Looking at the cavalry who suddenly turned around, Jiang Xiong knew that this was the enemy's delaying tactic, but he couldn't ignore these people, because these more than 100 cavalry were blocking his way.

It's not the first time the other party has done this, so he has experience as well.

He held the horse's belly between his legs, stuck the horse's mallet in the belt of the horse's back, and took up the bow as an arrow. The arrows were like lightning, and a hundred paces away, the man who was leading the oncoming cavalry fell off his horse with a scream, and he raised his bow again and shot at the other cavalryman.

The Jinyi guards next to them also released arrows one after another, although the cavalry on the opposite side rushed head-on, but in a breath, the Jinyi guards still shot hundreds of arrows, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy fell dozens of people.

But the cavalry was very fast, and when they saw that they were colliding together, Jiang Xiong put down his bow and arrows, roared, raised his horse lance, and rushed towards the enemy, "Fight quickly!" ”

When the Shence Army, which only had a few dozen cavalry left, came into contact with the Jinyi Guard cavalry, it was like hitting a thick wall, and they quickly hit their heads and bled out.

Jiang Xiong brandished his horse lance, which was like a dragon, and directly pierced the throat of an enemy soldier facing him. After killing this enemy soldier, the horse lance continued to gain momentum, directly penetrating an enemy cavalryman behind.

He pulled out his horse lance, threw them to the ground, and did not stop, but continued to chase forward.

Although dozens of Shence troops were killed at the first moment of contact, they were not without any effect. Although the official road was wide, it could not allow more than 100 cavalry to pass in parallel, so after killing the enemy troops who were blocking, Yang Fugong and others who fled had a distance of more than 100 steps.

Although the distance was stretched to a distance of two hundred paces, it was nothing for the cavalry.

However, whenever Jiang Xiong and other Jinyi guards wanted to catch up with Yang Fugong and his party, the other party would divide dozens of people to block it, although several times, there were only more than 100 people left around Yang Fugong, but Jiang Xiong simply failed to catch up with Yang Fugong.

However, he is not in a hurry, there are not many people around Yang Fugong who can be used to stop him.

Just when Yang Fugong thought that he was in a catastrophe, there was a sudden rolling dust in front of him, Yang Fugong was stunned, but after hearing the dull horn sound, his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

Rick's reinforcements are coming!

However, when he saw that Li Ke used only more than 1,000 reinforcements, Yang Fugong was a little disappointed, but no matter how he said it, he was out of danger.

Seeing the cavalry on the opposite side, in addition to Yang Fugong and his party, the soldiers of Jinyiwei and Shatuo Army all reined in the reins of their horses and stopped their horses, all of them were vigilant against the cavalry that suddenly appeared in front of them.

Yang Fugong didn't have time to control the movements of the cavalry on both sides, and when he saw Yang Fugong and his party who didn't stop, the cavalry of the Shatuo Army raised their bows and arrows in their hands.

"Don't mess around! This is the Privy Councillor! ”

"Privy Envoy? Yang Fugong? ”

Hearing that the embarrassed cavalry in front of him actually had Yang Fugong, Li Siyuan couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at Li Cunxiao on the side as if asking.

"Wait, let them come."

With Li Cunxiao's orders, the cavalry of the Shatuo Army put down the bows and arrows in their hands, but they still remained vigilant, especially the cavalry in front of them of unknown origin and not weaker than their own.

"General, that's Privy Envoy Yang."

Just when Li Cunxiao was a little uncertain, a young general next to him came to his side and pointed to an oncoming bearded man wearing a black German crown to remind him.

When he saw Yang Fugong pointed to by his subordinates, Li Cunxiao was a little surprised, he had never seen the other party, but he had seen the drawings of the other party's appearance.

It's just that this Yang Fugong in front of him is too embarrassed, not only him, but the people behind him are the same, some of the armor on their bodies is torn, and there are blood stains on them, obviously there was a fierce battle before.

It's just that Li Cunxiao is also a little puzzled, how could Yang Fugong appear here? And so embarrassed?

Regarding Yang Fugong and his father-in-law's plan, he is naturally clear. The 70,000-strong army led by his stepfather and Wang Chongrong had conquered Tongzhou and were currently stationed in Tongzhou, and his and Li Siyuan's mission was to come to inquire about the news and see what the outcome of Chang'an was.

Originally, he thought that Yang Fugong should succeed, but at this glance, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Dare to ask, but is the privy envoy Yang Gonggong?" Before Yang Fugong came closer, Li Cunxiao asked.

"It's our house? You are? Yang Fugong looked at the burly young general in front of him and was a little puzzled.

"Xiaguan Li Cunxiao has seen the privy envoy." After confirming his identity, Li Cunxiao hurriedly saluted, and when he saw the embarrassed appearance of the other party, he couldn't help asking, "This is the privy envoy?" ”

Yang Fugong was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he spit out a sentence for a long time, "It's hard to say anything, our family wants to see King Jin in person." ”

Although the title of King Jin used by Li Ke has not yet been officially canonized at this time, it does not prevent Yang Fugong from calling it so, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the promise he made to Li Keyong.

Although I don't know what Yang Fugong is doing in such a hurry to find his father-in-law, Li Cunxiao can roughly guess something, and smiled, "Don't worry, don't worry, wait until Cunxiao destroys the cavalry in front of him." ”

Yang Shouli thought that Li Cunxiao was doing more, "General Li, the top priority is to escort my father-in-law to meet the King of Jin, not to engage the Jinyi Guard cavalry. We don't have an advantage in numbers, and since the Jinyi Guards have given up the pursuit, why bother in vain? ”

Li Cunxiao laughed and said, "Just a thousand cavalry scared you so much that you lost the courage to fight again." Let me Li Cunxiao show you, what is the Shatuo cavalry! ”

After speaking, Li Cunxiao ignored Yang Fugong and Yang Shouli's unhappy faces, and led the more than 1,000 cavalry to roar, and rushed to the Jinyi Guard cavalry that stopped in front like a tiger descending a mountain.

Seeing the Shatuo cavalry in front of him, Jiang Xiong was not timid, he also wanted to see what the level of the Shatuo cavalry was.

Looking at the cavalry behind him, Jiang Xiong shouted, "Jinyi Guard, attack!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves thundered, and thousands of Jinyi guards and Shatuo cavalry began to fight in this wide field.

Jiang Xiong held the horse lance in his hand and charged ahead, one horse took the lead, and one horse lance smashed the right stab, and there was no enemy in front of the horse. The surrounding Shatuo cavalry had no way to take Jiang Xiong, and the other party had already rushed directly into the enemy group with his soldiers, like a tiger entering a flock.

However, Jiang Xiong, who killed several Shatuo cavalrymen in a row, quickly attracted Li Cunxiao's attention, and when he saw that his subordinates were killed several people in a row by the person in front of him, he immediately roared, "That thief, let me Li Cunxiao clean you up!" ”

Hearing that the person who came was Li Cunxiao, Jiang Xiong, who had long heard of the other party's prestige, was not timid, and the battle spirit in his heart burned like a raging fire, and rushed over to meet Li Cunxiao.

However, as soon as he fought, Jiang Xiong knew that he had underestimated the enemy, and it was very serious. After a few rounds, Jiang Xiong fell into a disadvantageous situation, the tiger's mouth was torn, and his body began to hang colors, and in the face of Li Cunxiao's attack, he could only defend passively.

"General, I'll help you."

Just when Jiang Xiong thought he was going to explain here, he suddenly killed several Jinyi Guard cavalry from behind him and blocked Li Cunxiao's attack.

However, the name of 'the king is not enough, and the general is not Li' is not blown out, and several Jinyi guard cavalry who came out from the side are basically not Li Cunxiao's enemies, and only one person lasted for two rounds, but was also beheaded by Li Cunxiao in the second round.

Seeing that his subordinates were beheaded in order to save him, Jiang Xiong's eyes were red and his lips were biting blood, so when he was about to go back and fight Li Cunxiao for a few more rounds, the subordinates next to him stopped him.

"General, retreat! We are no match for the Shatuos! ”

At this time, Jiang Xiong found that his subordinates were defeated and retreated one after another when they were superior in numbers. In addition to Li Cunxiao, there is another person in the Shatuo Army in front of him, although he is not as good as Li Cunxiao, but he still kills a few people in and out of the Jinyi Guard.

"Get out of the way!" Jiang Xiong shouted, the hand holding the horse lance bulged, and there was a trace of blood flowing out of the cracked tiger's mouth, but he didn't feel it at all.

"General, now is not the time to be rash, you must go back and tell Your Highness that the Shatuo Army is coming!"

"General, you go quickly, we will stop the Shatuo army!"

Jiang Xiong, who hesitated for a while, rode away, and the remaining Jinyi Guard soldiers were divided into two, one of them retreated with Jiang Xiong, and the other was responsible for staying behind and dragging the Shatuo army.

Just a short time after Jiang Xiong retreated, a miserable scream came from behind, "Captain." ”

Jiang Xiong turned his head and found that his subordinates who had persuaded him to retreat just now had been pierced through the chest by a horse lance, knocking him to the ground, and the owner of the horse lance was Li Cunxiao.

After glancing at Li Cunxiao, Jiang Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!" ”

Seeing that Jiang Xiong and the others were about to escape, Shatuo cavalry immediately came to surround them. However, the red-eyed Jiang Xiong was like a madman, wielding his horse lance to kill the Shatuo cavalry blocking the way in front of him. When he left the battlefield with his talents, no less than twenty Shatuo cavalry died under his lance.

Although he could only defend passively in front of Li Cunxiao, these ordinary Shatuo soldiers also wanted to bully him, making him angry, and the tragic death of his subordinates made him like a madman.

Over there, Jiang Xiong withdrew with less than 600 people, and the Jinyi Guard cavalry, who had left behind to delay, was in a desperate situation.

Although they were defeated by the Shatuo army, these brocade guards still resisted in groups, and after Jiang Xiong withdrew, some people also took the opportunity to escape in the direction of Chang'an.

However, after all, there were only a few who escaped, and many more were left behind. As the most powerful cavalry of the Tang Dynasty at this time, the strength of the Shatuo army was not blown out.

When Li Cunxiao killed the last Jinyi Guard cavalry in front of him, he was already covered in blood, and near him, there were piles of corpses of Jinyi Guard cavalry, including officers, ordinary soldiers, and there were thirty or forty people.

Even so, these brocade guards failed to kill Li Cunxiao, but were killed by Li Cunxiao, and in the end, the other party only suffered some minor injuries.

"Cunxiao, are you okay?" Li Siyuan came to Li Cunxiao, who was no different from a blood man, looked up and down, and asked.

Spit.

Spit out a mouthful of blood and spit, Li Cunxiao bared his teeth and laughed, "Just because these people want to kill me?" Let's go back to practicing in the womb for decades! ”

Seeing that Li Cunxiao was fine, Li Siyuan relieved himself, "Cunxiao, I couldn't leave all the enemy troops behind, and many people ran away." ”

"Ran away, ran away, who was that person just now, who could hold on to my hands for so long, and I don't think he was an unknown person."

Thinking of Jiang Xiong, Li Cunxiao was very curious. You must know that since he was the vanguard of Li Keyong, he has won every battle, and he has not tasted defeat, and there are few people who can hold out for a few rounds under him, most of them have been picked up by him. Unexpectedly, one of them suddenly held out under his hand for dozens of rounds and escaped.

"I don't know, I have to wait for the future. However, I heard that these are the brocade guards around King Shou, and I don't think that's it, and the two thousand cavalry are not enough for us to kill. Li Siyuan laughed.

However, the two soon realized that they might have underestimated the sudden appearance of the Brocade Guards, because in the end, none of the Brocade Guards surrendered.

After seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the Jinyi Guard cavalry who could still move all chose to kill themselves.

One or two self-killing may not be nothing, but dozens of people killing themselves at the same time surprised these Shatuo soldiers who were accustomed to seeing blood on the battlefield.

At this time, Li Cunxiao realized that this brocade guard was not as weak as he imagined.

Sorry, the first day of the week, a bit busy. Hurry up and hurry up to code out this 4,000-word chapter, I wanted to divide it into two chapters, but it was troublesome, so I passed it directly.
