Chapter 162 The Princess of Pingyang who was underestimated

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, shaking the ice particles on the city wall of Yunguan trembling on the ice, and the ice cubes on the city wall fell down with the shock waves.

The horns were continuous, the smoke and dust were soaring into the sky, and tens of thousands of cavalry roared.

The Tang soldiers on the Izumo Pass all looked at each other in shock, and their faces turned pale. Even Xue Rengui expected that the enemy army had ambushes nearby, but he never dreamed that in order to deal with their more than 300 people, the enemy army would gather tens of thousands of people!

In this place of Anxi, tens of thousands of horses are already a relatively scary number, and the Gaochang Kingdom, which has dominated Anxi for 150 years, has only 30,000 Gaochang iron horses! Now that a small Izumo Pass has been attacked by tens of thousands of cavalry, Xue Rengui really doesn't know whether to cry or laugh!

The Tang soldiers standing on the city wall desperately tilted the rain of arrows towards the enemy below the city, Xue Rengui swished and shot down three arrows in a row, looking at the boundless enemy cavalry, a trace of worry passed through his heart.

There are just too many enemies!

According to this way of fighting, even if the three hundred of them were not killed, they would have to be exhausted to death!

Xue Rengui gritted his teeth, raised the iron tire bow in his hand, and looked into the distance. Finally, he found an enemy general who was commanding a siege of the city from 350 paces.

Xue Rengui did not hesitate to put away the iron tire bow. At a distance of three hundred paces, although the iron-tired bow can barely fly, at this distance, the speed and penetration of the arrow are already too weak.

Xue Rengui naturally knows that there is only one chance to snipe from a distance.

Xue Rengui took advantage of his super eyesight, as well as his sense of archery. He came to a scorpion crossbow in front of the city, the scorpion crossbow has a range that is not weaker than the eight-bull crossbow, but it is too bulky, and the fixed power is weaker than the eight-bull crossbow, so in the Tang army's equipment, it is in a very embarrassing existence.

The scorpion crossbow can only shoot a single shot, and can snipe at targets within a range of three hundred or five hundred steps, the key is that at this distance, the human head is equivalent to a fly, and it is also a moving fly, and it is very difficult to snipe such a target.

Although the scorpion crossbow was invented under the guidance of Chen Ying, Shule Academy and Datang University of Technology also paid great attention to it, replacing it with more elastic spring steel, adding pulley winding, and a base that can rotate 360 degrees and a shooting height that can be adjusted up and down 90 degrees.

If you don't take into account the rate of fire and power, this is simply a high-level dual-purpose machine gun of later generations.

Xue Rengui aimed at the enemy general with a scorpion crossbow, and just as he was about to launch, he suddenly found a large tree five hundred steps away, with an ornament woven from an ox's tail, and a hideous wolf head embroidered in the middle.

It was actually Shan Yu Daxuan of the Western Turks.

Xue Rengui immediately gave up on the commander and aimed at this Da Xuan.

"Bang ......"

The entire crossbow body shook violently, and a sharp sound of breaking the air broke through the sky above the battlefield, only to be muffled by the noise on the battlefield, and finally the poofed pierced the flagpole of the Western Turks' wolf tooth Da Xuan, and the flagpole fell in response.

The huge big sun was blown in the direction of Izumo Pass by the wind, and at this time, as if like a kite, this big sun actually spanned more than 500 steps and fell into the Izumo Pass.

The battle unconsciously stopped, and the cavalry involved in the attack stared blankly at the bare flagpole behind them.

Sha Bo Luo Lifu Khan was puzzled, and he thought that it was the Tang army's stray arrow that hit Da Zhen.

In an ultra-long-range position like this, although the range of the Eight Bull Crossbow can be easily achieved, the Eight Bull Crossbow is difficult to aim.

"Whew!"

At this moment, the second crossbow arrow penetrated through the forehead of the horse of the Khan, and the sharp crossbow arrow penetrated the head of the horse, and then plunged into the belly of the Khan, and the sharp arrow cut off his intestines, causing his vitality to pass quickly.

As one of the four khans of the Western Turks, the Khan of Shabo Luo Lifu actually died in front of Izumo Pass.

With the fall of the Khan from the warhorse, the battle in front of Izumo Pass stopped.

The leaderless Western Turkic army was in chaos, and Xue Rengui would not give up this opportunity. He led the only one hundred and two horsemen in the Izumo Pass Castle and brazenly launched a Jedi counterattack against the 10,000 Turkic cavalry.

In this almost disproportionate battle, anyone thought that Xue Rengui would be defeated, however, to everyone's expectations, Xue Rengui was like a divine help, more than 100 cavalry, and he chased and killed this rout army for dozens of miles, beheaded thousands of people, and killed no less than 3,000 Turks under his horse.

Xue Rengui also became famous in the Anxi Army and became a famous arrow god in the Anxi Army.

As the head of Shule, Zhang Huaiwei promoted Xue Rengui exceptionally, and promoted him from the captain of the seventh grade Yilu to the sixth level of the direct company, and promoted him to the captain of Zhaowu.

If this commendation order came to Chen Ying, Chen Ying would definitely not hesitate to directly promote Xue Rengui to the rank of Zhongwu General, or Zhuangwu General, but it was a pity.

Xue Rengui's fate was not good, and the entire military generals of the Anxi Army knew the news of Chen Ying's assassination, and they had no intention of dealing with the matter, but raised their vigilance.

……

In Chang'an Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng instantly aged a lot in just a few days, and his head was covered with gray hair. He looked at Li Anyan and said, "How is General Chen's injury?"

Li Anyan said with a depressed face: "The crossbow arrow is poisonous, and the injury is very serious, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "You choose some capable subordinates, escort the best imperial doctor in the palace, and at the same time transfer the best and best talents in the Yuan Sui forbidden army, if you need any medicine or famous doctor, you will do your best to help find him, and you must cure him!" He can't be fine! ”

Li Anyan said: "Obey! ”

Li Jiancheng said again: "Protect his family!" He has offended too many people, and if something happens, those bastards will not let his family go! ”

Li Anyan said: "Obey! ”

He didn't dare to slack off, so he hurried down to make arrangements.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng suddenly said: "Forget it, your manpower is already tight, and Chenjiabao is hanging alone outside Chang'an City, and it is difficult to protect it when there are fewer people, and there are more ...... Chang'an City, I'm afraid they will take advantage of it again! ”

Li Anyan smiled bitterly and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! ”

"...... like this"

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng had a flash of inspiration in his head, and he suddenly had an idea.

"Where are the scholars?"

Cen Wenwen said: "The minister is here! ”

Li Jiancheng groaned: "The intention is ......"

Li Jiancheng was no longer in the mood to review the recital, so he sat there in a daze for a long time, repeating a sentence in a low voice: "Chen Ying, that's all I can do for you, you must get better!" ”

……

Above the hall of Chenjiabao in Qinglin, incense cases are enshrined. In front of the incense case, Li Xiuning was dressed in a drape, neatly dressed, and Li Daozhen was holding a Mo knife and standing with a knife.

A little eunuch said in a low voice: "...... I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. Princess Pingyang has outstanding literary resources, and her virtuous voice is up to Siye; There is virtue in the chaos, and the martial arts are displayed in the temple, which is to worship the general of the pillar country, and the opening ceremony is the same as the three divisions, and the same participation in the big politics, but also. ”

Li Xiuning took the holy decree with an expression on his face and said, "Minister-thank you!" ”

Li Xiuning picked up the holy decree, didn't even return to the mansion, and walked straight out of the door.

Ma Sanbao was taken aback, leaned over the boat, and asked, "Princess, where are you going?"

Li Xiuning said: "I've been here for too long, I'm bored, and I want to go to Chang'an to have a look." ”

Ma Sanbao was shocked and said, "Princess, don't go!" Now Guanzhong has become a boiling crater, the chaos is beyond measure, I don't know how many people are lurking in the shadows, wanting to poison you, you must not go! ”

Li Xiuning's voice was not high, but he said unusually firmly: "It is precisely because of the chaos there that I want to go...... Originally, I was already at ease to be a good wife and mother, not asking about the world, but they forced me to set up the banner of the Women's Army, the general was promoted, and the various departments of the Women's Army were built. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian said a little worriedly: "Sanniang, you calm down, Chen Lang ......"

"He's going to be fine, I've been through more terrible crises with him, he's survived tenaciously, and this time will be no exception. He has always been gritting his teeth outside, and now I have to help him do something to stabilize Guanzhong. Li Xiuning said lightly.

Ma Sanbao did not persuade again, and the eldest grandson Wujian did not persuade either.

Li Xiuning is right.

Those people want to make trouble, and the first thing to mess up is Guanzhong.

Now there is faint news that the Xue Yantuo people are heading south from the Yudu Army Mountain, and the Western Turkic army has also appeared in Anxi, according to rumors, Jieli Khan has arrived in Mobei, organized the old department, and prepared to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

Similarly, Songtsen Gampo has also returned to Tibet, and a new fission is brewing in the seemingly calm Tubo Snow Plateau.

The fangs of Jiannan Province are also about to move, and the indigenous barbarians of Lingnan are also eyeing each other, which is not important, as long as the Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty is not chaotic, the sporadic rebellions in various places will never let the Tang Dynasty fall apart.

Li Xiuning took hundreds of guards from Chenjiabao and slowly marched towards Chang'an City under the banner of Princess Pingyang, and at the same time, more and more old members of the Women's Army came to hear the news.

When he arrived in Chang'an City, Li Xiuning had already gathered more than 2,000 people around him.

With the return of the Women's Army, the Guanzhong area has just made a little waves, and Li Xiuning's Women's Army has appeared, so fast, it makes people shudder, and it also makes the people's hearts settle a little.

Although Chen Ying's life and death are uncertain, Li Xiuning stood up, the Anxi army, the combat effectiveness of this army has not been affected, with them, the world will not be chaotic!

Calm is only a phenomenon of expression, and the undercurrent has long been stirred. Since they dare to assassinate, they will definitely not fail to do anything to Li Xiuning. You must know that Li Xiuning is the most critical person who maintains Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng.

If it weren't for Li Xiuning's existence, with Chen Yingxiong's strength to dominate Anxi, the imperial court would have cut down the feudal domain a long time ago.

Li Xiuning is the princess who is the best at leading troops to fight in the Li Tang royal family, and she is also the only princess who enjoys the title of prince and has a substantive official position.

No one will ignore the existence of Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning took the women's army to start patrolling Sanfu, she almost everywhere there are assassins stung in the dark, at the first chance to kill the killer, and do everything, poisoning, arson, cold guns, hidden arrows......

Only the tricks they didn't think of, no tricks they hadn't tried, all crazy.

However, none of these assassination plots succeeded, Li Xiuning had a group of highly vigilant masters around him, and the heroes in Guanzhong were also anxious.

Li Xiuning is the general backstage of the entire Guanzhong and even the heroes of the world, without Li Xiuning's care, they would have been cleaned up by the civil officials.

Unless it's an unclean butt and a bad debt, the government won't do it all for the sake of doing it once and for all.

The heroes of Guanzhong are also desperate, once Li Xiuning has a problem, for them, it will be a real disaster, they may be called the doormen of the clan gatekeeper, or the vicious dogs captive by the clan, and they will definitely not be as free as they are now. The heroes all know that this is their last chance, if something happens to this Li Xiuning's aunt, no one will think about it.

The energy of the heroes is enormous, they mobilize all their hands, they are highly vigilant, staring at every suspicious face, many assassins are caught by them before they have time to act, and the straw mat is buried in the wilderness as wild dogs.

This was a thrilling secret battle, from Qinglin to Chencang, from Chencang to Fufeng, Li Xiuning was assassinated a total of 192 times, killing and assassinating 406 people.

More than 200 heroes died protecting her.

Of course, none of these things can be known to the outside world.

The Women's Army, which had been disbanded for more than ten years, had more than 12,500 people while carrying out training and replacing it with new equipment while inspecting Guanzhong with Li Xiuning, and they had become the most beloved soldiers of the people in Guanzhong.

……

In the north of Chang'an City, in a luxurious mansion.

The middle-aged man in the white robe looked gloomy, and slapped the information on the case: "We really underestimated these women!" ”

"Duke Du, I said a long time ago, Princess Pingyang is not an ordinary person, no one can underestimate her!"

The middle-aged man known as Du Gong looked at the man in front of him with disdain and said: "She is a woman, after all, she is a woman, it turns out that she just didn't regard her as an opponent, and now I face her, her end is coming!" ”

Feng Gongzi smiled bitterly and said, "Duke Du, it's better to stop now!" ”

Du Gong looked at Feng Gongzi with eagle-like eyes and said, "Is there anything in this world that money can't do?" Tell me to come down, no matter who it is, as long as you come over with Pingyang's head, I will give 100,000 yuan! ”

100,000 yuan, in this era, is still a huge amount of money that can make people crazy.

However, what is very surprising is that such a huge bonus bounty did not form a shock in Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong, but as if nothing had happened.

Unexpectedly, around this originally inconspicuous mansion, a dense crowd of unfamiliar faces appeared.

When Du Gong received the news, he realized that something was wrong.

Fortunately, he has too many masters around him, and it takes no effort to catch a tongue.

"What do you call it!" Du Gong looked at the man in front of him with a sneer.

The man in front of him is none other than Yu Zhengyang, who is known as the "hero of Guanzhong".

Yu Zhengyang spat blood foam in his mouth, and said with a wild smile: "What kind of big-tailed wolf, your grandfather Yu is here!" ”

"Looks like you really haven't figured out the situation!" Du Gong waved his hand.

A guard stepped forward and reached out to Yu Zhengyang.

Yu Zhengyang screamed miserably: "Give me a happy ......"

As the bones on Yu Zhengyang's body were broken little by little, Du Gong still didn't get the answer he wanted from Yu Zhengyang's mouth.

At this time, another hero was invited to the mansion.

This is a very obese fat man, weighing more than two hundred and fifty pounds, and his eyes are almost squinted.

Du Gong thought that he couldn't get the information he thought of, especially this feeling like being blind or deaf, which made him a little crazy.

"Don't waste your time"

The fat man smiled and said: "Loved by friends in the rivers and lakes, it rains in time in the lower bandit pass, what do you want to know, Du Gong?" ”

Du Gongdao: "100,000 bonuses, why is no one tempted?" ”

"Although money is good, human life is money!" The fat man looked at Du Gong and smiled: "I thought you were a smart person, but it's a pity, it turned out to be a fool!" ”

Du Gong's face turned blue: "Who is the idiot?" “

"Is there anyone else?" The fat man was eating the mutton in front of him casually, while wiping the oil and water on the side of his mouth with his sleeve: "If you are a smart person, when you find something wrong, you should run away as soon as possible, as far as you can, instead of waiting to die!" ”

Du Gong's face changed drastically: "Someone! ”

Unfortunately, the guards outside the house did not show up for a long time.

Du Gong hurriedly touched the incense burner on the desk, this is the switch of the mechanism, through the mechanism, he can hide in the secret room in time and escape from Chang'an City.

It's just that at the moment when Du Gong's hand touched the incense burner, a knife appeared in front of the incense burner out of thin air.

Then the air seemed to distort, and a person appeared in the hall as if out of thin air.

Du Gong's face changed greatly: "Five Elements Escape Technique, who are you?" “

"My name is Yu Youyu, and my father is Yu Yanzhang, the former general of the left prison guard!" Yu Youyu looked at Du Gong and smiled: "Come with me, right?" ”

Du Gong's face changed sharply, he looked around with the rest of his eyes, and found that the guards around him were lying on the ground. There are no scars on the outside.

The fat man Ryazan said: "Don't look any further, this is the newly invented anesthetic of our Boren Hospital, even if they cut off their arms, they will be unconscious!" ”

Yu Youyu stepped forward and punched Du Gong in the stomach, knocking out his overnight meal.

Yu Youyu looked at Ryazan and smiled: "Collect some interest first!" ”

Ryazan said: "Whatever you want, as long as you live anyway!" ”
