Chapter 291: Reading the Separation of the Two Armies in Front of the Formation (1st Update)
Late at night, Li Chengqian's Chinese army tent, the generals were discussing the deployment of the ambush.
After arranging everything that night, before dawn on the second day, several generals in the Datang camp led their soldiers to their respective positions according to Su Dingfang's arrangement.
Under the protection of Wang Fangyi, Li Chengqian hid on a high ground not far from the battlefield and watched the situation on the battlefield from a distance.
As the sun rises, a thin layer of green smoke rises from the vast grassland, and the green smoke curls like a fairyland.
Li Chengqian was wearing a white robe, with a blue silk handkerchief wrapped in his hair, and sat quietly on the top of the mountain, waiting to watch a good show.
Wang Fangyi and Liu Kui stood beside him, thousands of cavalry hiding in the shadows below the heights.
Li Chengqian looked at the scenery for a while and felt a little bored, so he picked up the prepared "Chu Ci" and began to read.
For Li Chengqian, the entertainment life of the Tang Dynasty was very poor, and Li Chengqian in the army could only pass the time by reading most of the time. So no matter where he goes, Liu Kui will bring a few books with him, among which "Chu Ci" is a must, because only "Chu Ci" can allow Li Chengqian to read it as quickly as possible.
Li Chengqian opened "Chu Ci" and began to read "Lisao", at first he could control his voice, but when he gradually read the realm of self-forgetfulness, he couldn't help but chant loudly.
"He is rampant, and the husband is only a shortcut to embarrassment.
However, the thieves of the party are happy, and the road is quiet and dangerous.
How can I be left behind, and I am afraid of the defeat of the emperor!
……”
Wang Fangyi, who was next to him, saw that Li Chengqian still had the heart to praise Li Chengqian's admiration for Li Chengqian in "Lisao" at the moment of the war, which was like a mountain looking up......
When we arrived at about nine o'clock in the morning, Li Chengqian felt that the high ground under his feet was shaking, and there was a faint muffled sound in the distance.
Soon, this gray line became thicker and closer, and Li Chengqian knew that Tumidu was leading the army. Unconsciously put down the book in his hand, stood up and frowned at the huge momentum of Xue Yantuo's army, and couldn't help but be a little worried and confirmed again: "Does Wu Su know that I am here?"
Liu Kui hurriedly said in a low voice: "Wu Su doesn't know our whereabouts, our original camp has become a waste, the army is divided into units out of the camp, following their respective generals everywhere, and the soldiers below the captain level in our army don't know where they want to go."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been in the Chinese army where General Su is, and now it is in that valley, and only General Wang knows where we came. ”
Li Chengqian nodded his head to express his reassurance when he heard this, and sat down slowly, but his eyes were still staring at Xue Yantuo's cavalry in the distance.
Tens of thousands of cavalry, one person and two horses, 60,000 war horses, running at full speed, the momentum was huge, and soon in Li Chengqian's eyes, it turned from a line into a wall, and behind the army was even more sand and dust, like a huge wave during a tsunami.
Wu Su, who was at the mouth of the valley, also heard the sound and hurriedly led a team of cavalry to meet him.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat when he saw this, he was really worried that Wu Su would regret the battle and tell the truth to Tumidu, although there would not be much loss, but this time the ambush would inevitably fail, and if Tumidu could give full play to the advantage of troops, the Tang army would still fall into a bitter battle.
However, Li Chengqian's worries are superfluous, Wu Su is not dead and wants to occupy Tumidu's wife, and at this time he just wants to use Datang's hand to kill Tumidu.
As soon as Wu Su caught up with Tumidu, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and lay on the ground to plead guilty: "Uncle, Li Chengqian is too cunning, his nephew is not their opponent at all, if it weren't for Po Yan to deliver the letter, my nephew still wouldn't know that Li Chengqian was among the eight thousand cavalry." ”
Tu Midu looked at Wu Su's incompetent appearance and couldn't help but go up in his heart, snorted coldly and pointed at Wu Su with a horse whip and said, "Now I know, why haven't you captured Li Chengqian yet?"
Hearing this, Wu Su may have lingering fears about explosives, and said with a painful expression on his face: "Uncle doesn't know that Li Chengqian has a kind of divine thunder in his hand, which is amazingly powerful, and his nephew's soldiers and horses were killed and injured by them. ”
Hearing this, Tu Midu subconsciously looked at the people who were with Wu Su, and saw that almost all of these people were injured, so he didn't dwell on this issue anymore.
Instead, he asked about the current situation and said, "How is Li Chengqian doing now?"
Hearing this, Wu Su jumped up and pointed to the valley in the distance and said, "They don't seem to have much gunpowder, so they hid in this valley and waited for rescue." ”
Hearing this, Tumidu raised his head and looked at the valley, with a cold light in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Waiting for help? It's better to let Lao Tzu catch it. ”
With that, he jerked the horse's buttocks with a "snap", and the war horse galloped away.
Seeing this, Wu Su hurriedly jumped on his horse and followed, but the cavalry behind did not accelerate again because the distance was too close, but followed unhurriedly.
Li Chengqian was relieved when he saw that Tumidu was really heading towards the valley where they had set up ambush.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Tumidu only came with more than 30,000 cavalry this time." Wang Fangyi said with a frown.
"Oh!" More than 60,000 horses ran and shook the ground, and Li Chengqian couldn't tell how many people had come.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked at it closely, and asked, "Will it be a foot behind?" Wang Fangyi shook his head and said he didn't know.
Li Chengqian looked at the cavalry brought by Tumidu who was walking into the valley and said quietly: "Now it seems that this net can only collect so many fish." ”
Because no matter how many foot soldiers he has behind him, he can't let go of the 30,000 cavalry who have already entered the ambush circle.
Li Chengqian understood that Su Dingfang naturally understood, so not long after Xue Yantuo's cavalry entered the valley, he heard the explosion of gunpowder in the valley.
Li Chengqian watched Wu Xu, who had left behind the broken Tumidu, leading the crowd to dig a pit to block the retreat of Xue Yantuo's cavalry, and knew that the major event had been decided, so he picked up the "Chu Ci" and read it.
After reading a few sentences of "Lisao", I didn't forget to raise my head and say to Wang Fangyi with a smile: "The ancients said: If you drink hard and read "Lisao", you will be a real celebrity. ”
"Who can compare to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince throughout the ages?" Liu Kui said jokingly.
-------------
Li Chengqian was easily strangling the 30,000 cavalry brought by Tumidu here, but Li Shimin was already jumping there.
Chasing all the way to the place where Li Chengqian was besieged, I don't know when there were 30,000 cavalry missing in Xue Yantuo's camp.
The fool also knew that the 30,000 cavalry were going to capture Li Chengqian, and this news made all the Tang generals crazy, because they always thought that Li Chengqian had only 8,000 cavalry around him for six days, but now because he did not keep an eye on the enemy on his side, Li Chengqian was captured by Xue Yantuo.
No matter what the world and future generations think of them, they can't get over it on their own conscience.
So Xue Rengui, Xue Wanche, Li Daliang, Zhang Shigui, and Xi Junmai generals all desperately attacked Xue Yantuo's camp, and Pei Xingjian had already bombarded it with explosives. However, Xue Yantuo had already taken into account the gunpowder power of the Tang army when establishing the camp, and the army was also extremely tenacious, and no matter how much it lost, it did not abandon the camp and escape, so that the Tang army could not capture Xue Yantuo's camp for a while.
Li Shimin, Hou Junji, Li Shiji, and some Wenchen all rode on their horses, looking at the scorching battlefield in front of them.
Li Shimin was very irritable in his heart, holding the reins in his hand, circling the war horse in place, and eager to rush to the front line again, but this time Li Shiji was already prepared to send people to deploy defense on the periphery, ready to stop Li Shimin at any time.
Just when Li Shimin was so restless that he couldn't control it at the extreme, he saw Xue Rengui, who was wearing bright silver armor, riding a tall war horse and running towards this side.
Li Shimin has not received news from Li Chengqian in the past few days, and he has always been worried that Li Chengqian has been captured by Xue Yantuo
