Chapter 277: The Great Battle of the Shatuo Army (8)

"Cun Xiao, we have to save the fourth uncle!"

After Li Siyuan repelled the attacks of several forbidden army generals in front of him, he came to Li Cunxiao's vicinity, a little anxious.

No wonder he was in a hurry, the situation of Li Kegong over there was getting worse and worse, and they still underestimated the forbidden army. Although the same number of forbidden troops is not as good as the Shatuo army, it can only be said that it is too taken for granted that only two cavalry with a total of more than 1,000 cavalry want to capture Li Ye alive.

"Follow me!"

Li Cunxiao also knew that if he sat back and watched Li Kegong's accident, his father-in-law would definitely not be able to spare him. So when Li Siyuan proposed, he gave up his plan to capture Li Ye alive, but went to save Li Kegong.

However, Li Cunxiao forgot that there were Jiang Xiong and others in front of him, and just when he was about to ride away, two iron spears suddenly stabbed his war horse, the war horse neighed, and Li Cunxiao, who did not check for a while, fell directly to the ground.

"Want to go, did you ask us?"

Looking at the few people blocking the road in front of him, Li Cunxiao's face turned fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are looking for death!" ”

"Whether you are looking for death or not, you will only know until you have beaten it!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiong stabbed out, although the four fights were a little unkind, but Li Cunxiao's martial arts were too high, and they were not each other's opponents at all.

And this is the battlefield, as long as you can kill the enemy, it doesn't matter what the process is, what matters is the result.

was blocked from the way, coupled with the tragic death of the car, Li Cunxiao suddenly went berserk, and Jiang Xiong and the others felt a sudden increase in pressure for a while.

But at this time, they can't let each other leave easily!

"Ahh

A miserable scream was particularly piercing on this noisy battlefield, and Li Cunxiao, who hurriedly dodged the spear in front of him, subconsciously looked into the distance, and found that his fourth uncle Li Kegong's chest was pierced by a spear, and then fell unwillingly on the battlefield.

Seeing this, Li Cunxiao's eyes were red, he roared, and took advantage of the inattention of the enemy in front of him to stab one of them to death, and then took the horse away.

The sudden change caught Jiang Xiong and the others off guard, and by the time they reacted, Li Cunxiao had already run more than ten steps away.

Wherever they passed, no one could stop them.

Seeing Li Cunxiao slaughtering all sides on the battlefield, Li Ye's face was a little ugly. However, after learning that Li Kegong died under Liu Kui's gun, he was also a little surprised, he had heard of Li Kegong, Li Keyong's younger brother.

Li Keyong's own brother, plus him, a total of four. Li Keyong is the boss; The second Li Kerang served as the general of Jinwu in his early years, but he died during Huangchao's invasion of Chang'an; The third is Li Kening, who Li Keyong trusts very much; This Li Kegong is the fourth.

However, among the four, Li Kegong is the most wasteful. If it weren't for the other party's insistence on capturing Li Ye alive, he would not have been surrounded by the forbidden army, and finally died under Liu Kui's gun.

The battle lasted until the afternoon, and the battle was dark, and the blood of this battlefield on the north bank of the Wei River stained the earth red. After seeing his fourth brother die in battle, the grief-stricken Li Keyong wanted to take revenge in person, but a war horse from Huazhou changed his opinion.

"Report! Wang Chongying's army was defeated in Huazhou, and 10,000 cavalry of the forbidden army were killing here! ”

"What?"

Li Ke looked incredulous, and just as he was about to ask the specific reason, the cavalry on the horse fainted due to his efforts.

"Your Highness, we must retreat!"

Gai Yu next to him persuaded Li Keyong to stay calm, but when he saw the troops with heavy casualties and the fourth brother who couldn't close his eyes until he died, Li Keyong couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long howl.

"Ah。。。。。h

"Withdraw!"

Although he was a little unwilling, Li Keyong gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.

With Li Keyong giving the order to retreat, the battle came to an end. Looking at the orderly retreating Shatuo Army, the generals of the Forbidden Army and the Jingyuan Army did not think about pursuing, but Li Ye finally stopped it.

Wounded wolves are the most dangerous.

Since Li Ke chose to run away with this wolf, why did he chase after him, in case he forced the other party to break the net, he would be the one who suffered in the end.

His army also suffered a lot of losses, and he didn't want to lose any more. And his goal is not to completely annihilate Li Ke's army, he only needs to defeat it.

Since participating in the suppression of the Huangchao Rebellion, Li Keyong has only suffered a big loss in Shangyuan Station, and other places have been smooth sailing.

Before, because he was afraid of the strength of the Shatuo army, no one dared to brush Li Ke's beard. But now that this wolf is injured, there is a big existence that wants to bite off a piece of meat from its body, so why let Li Ye do it himself.

。。。。。。

After the battle, Li Ye was listening to the battle report counted by the people below, and when he heard the specific figures, Li Ye couldn't help but be a little excited.

ゑ新ダ~(8)~1~Chinese 碲ωωω.Ο‡~8.~1zΡ‰.cΓ²ΠΌ

"Pass on the king's orders, and the soldiers who participated in this battle will be rewarded, and the king will reward the three armies!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!" Li Zhen smiled and saluted Li Ye, "In this battle, the Shatuo army lost more than 20,000 soldiers, which can be described as a great loss of vitality, and in a few years, Li Keyong must not dare to go against His Highness."

Zhang Jun suddenly felt a little lost in his heart, he didn't expect this battle to be won, it seems that the rise of this Shouwang is unstoppable!

However, Zhang Jun still had a smile on his face, "Congratulations, Your Highness, the Shatuo Army has never suffered such a heavy blow since the pacification of the Huangchao Thief Army. The first fiasco was defeated at the hands of His Highness, which shows that His Highness has a good command, and even the invincible Shatuo army can only prostrate at the feet of His Highness. ”

"Hahaha!"

Li Ye couldn't help laughing and said, "This battle can be won, Zhang Shuai and Jingyuan have made great contributions. ”

Although the Jingyuan army contributed a lot, the first merit was not the turn of the other party. To be precise, the Shenji Battalion is the first achievement, if it weren't for the other party's insistence on Huazhou, so that Li Keyong had to divide his troops, he wouldn't have been able to break them one by one.

The reason why the Shatuo army retreated in the end was not because of the big battle here, nor because Li Kegong died in battle, but because the news of the 10,000 Tiance army cavalry and cavalry reached Li Keyong's ears.

At this time, the Shatuo army and the imperial army were inseparable, and if 10,000 cavalry suddenly appeared, it would be a fatal blow to the Shatuo army unconsciously.

Since there is no possibility of winning, Li Keyong naturally has no idea of continuing to fight.

However, this battle, Li Ye won not easily.

It's just Guanzhong's side, from the beginning to the present. The Shence Army suffered 29,000 casualties, the Tiance Army suffered 15,000 casualties, the Jingyuan Army suffered 14,000 casualties, and the Huazhou side suffered 4,000 casualties (1,000 casualties of the Shenji Battalion), for a total of 62,000 casualties. It is estimated that the number of casualties caused by the Shatuo army is 50,000.

The result of the battle was only 43,000 people, of which only 20,000 were killed by the Shatuo army, which shows the strength of the Shatuo army.

"Minister Li Hong!"

"Chen Liu Kui!"

"Minister Li Maozhen!"

"See Your Highness!"

"Get up, you have also made great contributions in this battle, and when you finish counting the results of the battle, return to Chang'an, and the king will reward you again." Li Ye said with a smile.

"Your Highness!"

When several people heard this, they were overjoyed, but they still said a few words of modesty.

Seeing Liu Kui, who was a little seriously injured, Li Ye couldn't help but care, "Are you okay?" Hurry up and let the doctor in the army take care of the wound, and when you return to Chang'an, the king will call two imperial doctors to your house to give you a good look. ”

"Your Highness, it's all skin trauma, and it doesn't affect it." Liu Kui hugged his fist, but the force was too strong, and he pulled the wound, and his face turned red.

Liu Kui's martial arts are not bad, most of the skin injuries on his body are caused by Li Kegong, but these injuries are trivial, and the biggest wound is the wound on his waist that is about two inches long, which was caused by Li Cunxiao.

After killing Li Kegong, Li Cunxiao was crazy, and he killed him desperately, Liu Kui was not an opponent, he was seriously injured by Li Cunxiao, but fortunately, his own soldiers fought to save it, otherwise Liu Kui would not be able to sit here at this time.

"Okay, don't be reckless, you can kill Li Kegong, which can be regarded as a great achievement. Come on, take Liu Fuma down to bandage the wound. "At this time, there are no anti-inflammatory drugs, and if the wound is infected, death is not far away.

On the battlefield of more than 100,000 people, there are tens of thousands of corpses, and the cleaning of the battlefield is not so fast. Taking advantage of his free time, Li Ye called Jiang Xiong and two other young generals who were fighting against Li Cunxiao over.

"What's your name?"

"Returning to Your Highness, humble. The lowly position is called Wang Yanzhang. ”

"Humble Zhao Yuanzhang!"

Seeing the young man with two guns on his back, Li Ye didn't expect it to be the other party, but he didn't understand how the other party could be in the Tiance Army, and why he hadn't heard that Li Hong had such a number one person under him.

This is a famous general of the fifth generation in the late Tang Dynasty - Iron Spear Wang Yanzhang. Although it is not as good as Li Cunxiao, at the beginning of the fifth dynasty, he can become the first general, which shows that he is extraordinary.

His characteristic is that he has two guns, and the two big iron guns are easy to play, Li Ye had a guess at the beginning, but now he just confirms it.

Five generations of celebrities in the late Tang Dynasty, counting Li Zhen, Wang Jian and Li Maozhen, this Wang Yanzhang should be the fourth celebrity to take refuge in himself. Compared with Wang Jian and Li Maozhen, who both made a name for themselves before taking refuge in themselves, Li Ye attaches more importance to Wang Yanzhang, who is only 24 years old.

Zhao Yuanzhang was one of the two young generals who assisted Jiang Xiong and Wang Yanzhang to face Li Cunxiao, and there was originally one more, but he died later at the hands of Li Cunxiao.

Although the martial arts of these two people are not as good as Jiang Xiong and Wang Yanzhang, it is good to be able to stand up and help at that time. Everywhere Li Cunxiao passed before, he died under his lance, killing the surrounding forbidden soldiers with chills.

"Wang Yanzhang? Zhao Yuanzhang? Yes, this king remembers you, especially Wang Yanzhang, your iron spear is very good. Jiang Xiong, you take them down to bandage them. ”

Although Li Ye admires Wang Yanzhang and Zhao Yuanzhang more, but when they met for the first time, Li Ye didn't want the two to feel that they valued each other very much, so as not to be pampered and arrogant.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The three of them hurriedly took the order.

"Captain Jiang, I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Shou to be so approachable." After walking away, thinking of being praised by King Shou just now, Zhao Yuanzhang was also a little excited.

"That's for sure, you're late to join. At the beginning of the establishment of the Tiance Army a few years ago, His Royal Highness often lived in the camp and trained with the soldiers, but there were too many things in the past two years, and His Highness did not have this, but he often went to the army to reward the soldiers. Jiang Xiong explained with a smile.

"I didn't expect Captain Jiang to know so much." Zhao Yuanzhang was a little surprised.

"Hey, hey!" Jiang Xiong smiled proudly, "Jiang is not talented, he is a member of the Jinyi Guard, and he has followed His Highness to the army to reward the soldiers." ”

Wang Yanzhang, who didn't speak on the side, couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xiong next to him, thinking of the other party's martial arts, he couldn't help but rub his hands, "Captain Jiang, Wang saw that your martial arts were extraordinary, I don't know if there is a chance to ask for a few tricks?" ”

Jiang Xiong patted Wang Yanzhang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If you don't say it, I want to speak, your iron spear is really good, and His Royal Highness was full of praise just now." Look at it, when the meritorious deeds are rewarded later, the two of you will definitely be promoted, and there are not many people who can make His Highness remember. ”

"Captain Jiang, did you hear that you had fought with that Li Cunxiao before you went down?" Zhao Yuanzhang on the side couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Xiong's face suddenly became solemn, and he nodded, "I have fought each other, if it wasn't for my brothers who desperately rescued each other, I might have died at the hands of the other party, if it wasn't for him, my subordinates would not have died, and I would not have been demoted to a captain."

However, the other party's martial arts are indeed above me, before thinking about it, I thought that my martial arts were high, but I didn't expect that there were people outside the world. Li Cunxiao deserved to be the first fierce general at that time! ”

After listening to Wang Yanzhang, they realized that Jiang Xiong's identity was extraordinary, since the other party was demoted to a captain, then the previous position was higher, at least the general. And the other party has traveled with Shouwang many times, and he thinks that he is also a person around Shouwang, at least he often sees Shouwang, thinking of this, the two of them have a trace of other thoughts in their hearts.

Not to mention slapping the other party, at least there is no harm in befriending them.

"Captain Jiang, don't worry, as long as we practice diligently, we will definitely be able to defeat the other party."

。。。。。。

"Your Highness has a heart of love?"

Seeing that Li Ye had been staring at the departing Wang Yanzhang, Li Hong couldn't help asking.

"Sort of, this Wang Yanzhang's skills are not bad, why hasn't this king heard that you have such a fierce general?" Li Ye asked.

Li Hong was a little embarrassed, "Back to Your Highness, in fact, the previous ministers didn't know that there was such a person. The other party was also inconspicuous before, and it is estimated that the person below is regarded as an ordinary person, and he did not report it. ”

"Such a person has to be cultivated well, this time I will go back and promote him to the rank of captain, and then go to the martial arts hall to study and study!" Li Ye thought for a while and said.

"The minister thanked His Highness for the reward on his behalf!" Seeing that Li Ye attached so much importance to the other party, Li Hong was also a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that his Royal Highness had a heart of love for talent.

Li Hong would not be jealous of a low-level general, but it was a good thing for him to have such a fierce general under his command.

Being promoted to captain is actually not a high reward, and the biggest reward is actually the opportunity to enter the martial arts academy to study.

The current martial arts academy is more standardized, and in addition to recruiting students from various academies and civilians, it will also allow some low-level officers in the army to return to the furnace for further study.

Now whether it is the Tiance Army, the Shence Army, or the Yulin Army, among the lower-ranking officers, the students of the Martial Arts Hall account for a quarter, which is a rather terrifying ratio.

If it weren't for the rapid pace of military expansion in recent times, this ratio would be even more frightening.

The original cadets could not meet the ever-expanding army, so the model of sending middle and lower-level officers who had already served to the martial arts academy came into being.

Officers who come out of the martial arts academy, as long as you don't make mistakes and have the ability, the chances of promotion are significantly greater than others.

The martial arts students in the first phase are mixed well, like Qin Yi'an, who was given a knighthood and was named a county man, and he is also a commander; There are also those who are poor, and there are also those who have been beheaded because of ineffective combat or corruption and bribery.

Li Ye can't change these.

Something is delayed, let's have a big chapter!
