Text Chapter 24 Horizontal Horse Fighting

In the face of the urgent call-up, Zhu Li did not dare to slack off, and immediately called his master Wu Mourning, leading the 1,200 Yue cavalry under his personal command, together with Zhang Guiba's 1,000 archers, to rush to Fanyang.

In Beikou Town, he let Guo Qizuo sit in charge, and Pang Honggu, Gao Yuan, and Lu Yong assisted Guo Qizuo to stay behind to prevent the attacks of the Khitan and Xi people, and at the same time to prevent the small movements of Li Quanzhong's mighty army.

Fan Yang Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Council Hall.

Li Keju's important ministers gathered together, Zhu Li, as a town guard, the official position is not big, not small, the most important thing is that he has real power, so he can directly lead people into the meeting hall and participate in the discussion.

Everyone's expressions were calm, including the faces of Li Keju and Li Quanzhong, who were also very serious.

After everyone arrived, Li Keju coughed lightly and said: "In September of the fourth year of Qianfu, Li Guochang and Li Ke of Shatuo used their father and son to make a rebellion, attacked Yunzhong, looted Shuofang, and in October, the edict ordered the Zhaoyi Army to make Li Jun, Tugu Hun He Lianduo Division, Bai Yicheng Division, Anqing Division, Xue Ge Division, and Li Mou of the Shatuo Tribe, send troops to fight together. ”

"However, Li Guochang's father and son are extremely fierce, and there are countless strong soldiers under their command, which lasted for three years, and we are very ashamed, so far we have not been able to quell this matter, and this Shatuo Rebellion, there are several people who have fallen one after another, similar to Cao Xiang, the former Zhaoyi Army Jiedu envoy, Cui Jikang, the Daibeixing Battalion Recruiting Envoy, Li Jun, the former Zhaoyi Army Jiedu Envoy, Hedong Jiedu Li Wei and others."

"At the beginning of February this year, the Shatuo army entered Taiyuan, and the new acting northbound battalion recruited Kang Chuangui was defeated and died in the mutiny of the soldiers, the sage was furious, and Li Zhuo was the representative of the northbound battalion to recruit the envoy, and came to supervise us, now it seems that we don't want to fight this battle and have to fight, after all, let the Shatuo people attack the strategy, which is my Fanyang jurisdiction, so I decided to personally lead the army to encircle and suppress, hoping that the princes can help me."

"I will serve my life." After listening to Li Keju's explanation, in the meeting hall, there was no military force, and he suddenly agreed.

Now it is indeed as Li Keju said, it is not a question of whether they want to fight or not, but they have to fight, as the minister under Fan Yang, they are like a mirror in their hearts, if they let the Shatuo army conquer Taiyuan, then the territory controlled by Lu Longjiedu will be dangerous, and the adjacent to Taiyuan is Hengzhou, which is Li Keju's territory.

"Okay, but don't worry about it, there are also several festival envoys and people left behind in this expedition against the Shatuo people, we are not alone, everyone can rest assured."

"Liu Rengong, Zhu Li" Li Keju comforted everyone and immediately ordered.

"In" Zhu Li and a man in his thirties hurriedly stepped out of the queue and bowed their hands.

"Liu Rengong led 10,000 Zhenyuan troops as the front army, and Zhu Li as the vanguard, quickly advanced to Daizhou, and laid a good front station for us."

"No" After Zhu Li and Liu Ren agreed to the promise, they glanced at each other and hurried away.

"Li Quanzhong"

"In"

"You command the three mighty armies, 10,000 Zhenyuan troops, and follow me as the rear army, and set off on the same day."

"No." When Li Quanzhong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he promised in a deep voice.

......

The army opened, and Zhu Li and Liu Rengong went first.

At this time, Liu Rengong was not famous, his fame battle would be five years later, and now he is just an ordinary partial general, and there is no gap between Zhu Li, the real power captain, after all, the two are all close to Li Keju's faction, so there is no mustard in cooperation.

Zhu Li led all the cavalry, the marching speed was fast, and as a pioneer, it was his duty to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, so the Beikou army rushed to the front without giving up.

The army moved, the scouts were first clothed, and the scouts of nearly 100 people were all sprinkled out like a net by Zhu Li.

The current Shatuo people may still be in Taiyuan, who knows where they will hit in the next moment, so in addition to exploring the terrain and looking for water sources, the most important thing for the scouts is to find out the movements of the Shatuo army.

Three days after the march of the army, Zhu Li had arrived in Shanxi, crossed Ulzhou, and entered Daizhou, and a horse flew to report: "Report to Duwei, the Shatuo people not only broke through Taiyuan, just yesterday, they also took Daizhou, and now the vanguard army has entered Ulzhou." ”

When Zhu Li heard this, he immediately waved his hand to stop the galloping Beikou Army, was on horseback, turned his head to look at Wu Mourning, and asked, "Master, are we going back to the army to support Ulzhou next?" ”

Now he is fourteen years old, and he looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young general, but sometimes he is still a little unconfident when he makes a decision, and he can only rest assured if he consults Wu Mourning.

When Wu Mourning heard this, he didn't look at Zhu Li, but looked at the scout, and asked, "Do you know who the leader is?" ”

Zhu Li's subordinates all knew that this was Zhu Li's master, so the scout didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Back to Sima, it was Li Guochang's son Li Keyong who broke through Daizhou, and he is now sitting in Daizhou, so that his general Gao Wenji attacked Shuozhou, and Fu Wenda attacked Ulzhou." ”

"How many men does Fu Wenda have, and what kind of troops?" Wu Mian continued to ask.

The scout thought for a moment, and then immediately replied, "There are about 50,000 people, including cavalry and infantry. ”

Hearing these news, Wu Mian looked at the surrounding environment, now they are located in the middle of the two states of Wei and Dai, Fu Wenda wants to attack Ulzhou, he must pass through here.

The terrain in Sixiali is a little low-lying, Wu Dao cautiously took out the military map, looked at it against it, and determined the location of this place, this is Zhainangou, which belongs to Ulzhou, and the four fields are barren and low-lying.

It was February, when the new grass had not grown and the dead grass still existed, and not far behind them they had just passed, there was a very abundant dead grass.

He turned back to Zhu Li and said, "We will lead the Yue cavalry to guard there." Wu Mourning pointed to the place where the withered grass was flourishing, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Gui and said, "Da Lang." ”

"Yes." Zhang Guiba hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

"Zhu Li and I are staying there, intercepting Fu Wenda head-on, you lead the archers to hide, when you see us fleeing backwards, you immediately set fire, and then let your archers shoot freely, and immediately turn around and run away after shooting, follow us as soon as possible, no hesitation, let alone greed for merit" Wu Mourning instructed with a somewhat cautious expression, after all, the other party has 50,000 horses, and there are only more than 2,000 people on his side, and if one is not good, the whole army will be wiped out, so he can't be cautious.

"No" Zhang Guiba heard this, and hurriedly responded.

"Master, mean we ambush them?" Zhu Li thought for a moment.

"It's not an ambush, it's just harassment, although it doesn't necessarily hurt their muscles and bones, but it's good to frustrate their spirit." Wu Mourning said confidently.

The plan was quickly determined, Zhang Guiba also hid in the deep ditch with his bow and cavalry, and Zhu Li commanded more than 1,000 Yue cavalry to come to the established place and stand in line; He himself immediately stood at the forefront; Wu Mourning stood next to him, a little further back, muttering something to him, as if he had a plan.

About two hours later, countless armies surged in front of the black pressure, at a glance it looked like a flash flood, the flow of people was raging, everywhere, and the more than 1,000 Yue cavalry behind Zhu Li were shocked, and they almost wanted to turn around and flee, but fortunately, when they saw Zhu Li and Wu Mourning rock-like figures, they barely had the courage to stay in place.

On the opposite side, the big flag is displayed, and in the middle position, an extra-large banner with the word "Fu" is waving in the wind, which should be Fu Wenda's army.

The distance between the two sides was a few miles, and Fu Wenda noticed Zhu Li and the others, as well as the environment of countless dead grasses around him, his expression was slightly heavy, and after a little hesitation, he stopped with his horse and waved his army.

After the army stopped suddenly, he instructed a deep-eyed and bearded general Shatuo to ride out on horseback, and shouted at Zhu Li and the others from a distance: "Whoever is coming, report the name quickly." ”

"A certain is Xuzhou Zhuli, the pioneer under the account of Fan Yang Li, and I am waiting for you here." Zhu Li slapped his horse out, replied loudly, and then suddenly said: "Barbarians, do you dare to fight?" ”

When General Nashatuo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned solemn, and he shouted angrily: "Xiaolang is arrogant, since you are looking for death, let's eat a stick from your brother Zhu Xie Shengzan." (Repeat: elder brother in the Tang Dynasty, referring to his father)

This Shatuo man was obviously manic by nature, and he couldn't withstand Zhu Li's stimulation at all, and while drinking, he waved the big iron rod in his hand and rode his horse towards Zhu Li.

Li Xu distance, the fast horse came in an instant, the other party shot, right in Zhu Li's arms, both feet knocked the horse's belly, and waved the double-edged spear to meet it, "Ping", the two fought in an instant.

Under the blow, Zhu Li already knew in his heart, although the strength of this Shatuo general was great, his martial arts were common, and when he returned to the horse to fight again, Zhu Li held a spear in his right hand, stretched out his left hand to his waist, and held the handle of the knife empty, ready to kill.

The two horses are close to each other, and sure enough, Zhu Xie Shengzan is another powerful and heavy blow, Zhu Li's spear is picked, but this time it is not hard connected, but the spear is like electricity, and it hits the side of the big iron rod lightly, and the big iron rod is picked off in an instant.

Zhu Xie Shengzan slammed into the vacant air, his expression was slightly surprised, but he could only be stunned, and reluctantly continued to accumulate strength and prepare for the next round; But he thought so, Zhu Li didn't think so, the moment the horse passed by, the silver light suddenly rose, the strangulation was like practice, the long knife on Zhu Li's waist was suddenly unsheathed, only to hear the sound of "poof", a good head was thrown into the air.

"Mighty, mighty, mighty......" Captain won the first battle, completely stabilized the trembling Beikou Army, and the more than 1,000 Yue cavalry behind Zhu Li immediately broke out into a fierce shout, and the morale instantly improved.

Turning around, facing the tens of thousands of Shatuo army, Zhu Li calmly walked his horse and walked to the side of Zhu Xie Shengzan's head, he picked up Zhu Xie Shengzan's head with a spear, and shouted to the opposite side: "Hahaha, the world says that Shatuo people are fierce and brave, and when I see them today, I am not vulnerable." ”

The expression is extremely arrogant, showing off his might, and the voice of Lang Lang is even more yin and yang, sarcastic, sarcastic, and even disdainful, and people who are not familiar with human feelings can hear it.

In addition, he used internal breath to urge, and the words came out from afar, and the contempt in the words was obvious, which made several Sha Tuo generals in the opposite army reddened and became furious.

Without waiting for Fu Wenda to speak, another general in Shatuo's army was angry and rushed out, this person was also deep-eyed, looking at his age, he was older than Zhu Xie Shengzan, but he was still a twenty or thirty-year-old man, he galloped wildly, and shouted loudly: "Xiaolang, don't be crazy, watch me Heru take your dog's life." ”

Seeing this person, Zhu Li snorted coldly, threw Zhu Xie Shengzan's head back, and immediately rushed out of a tooth soldier and picked up the head back, this is a military feat.
