Chapter 292: Li Shimin's jaw dropped (Second Update)

After discovering that he was ambushed by the Tang army, he decisively chose to surrender after seeing the power of the explosives thrown from the hills on both sides.

His surrender made the Tang army, which was fully prepared and wanted to fight a big battle, suddenly become extremely uncomfortable.

Su Dingfang wanted to maintain the deterrence of Xue Yantuo's cavalry on the front line, and it was Cheng Wuting who came to report to Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Tumidu said that as long as the Tang Dynasty allows him to surrender, he is willing to lead the Hui clan to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and his descendants will always be vassals of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengqian listened to a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and watched Liu Renliang and Wu Su under the mountain with the surrendered Hui soldiers and horses being lined up without speaking.

Cheng Wuting saw that Li Chengqian didn't speak, thinking that Li Chengqian didn't believe Tumidu, so he asked: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel that Tumidu doesn't really surrender?"

To be honest, the minister also felt that he didn't really surrender, so he threw dozens of explosive packages and didn't kill many of them......"

Li Chengqian looked up at Cheng Wuting, who obviously didn't enjoy killing, and ignored him and said directly to Liu Kui: "Go and pass Wu Su over." ”

Tumidu still wants to lead the Hui?

Li Chengqian admired his whimsy very much.

After a while, Wu Su trotted to the top of the mountain and saw Li Chengqian hurriedly paying respects.

"Your uncle has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty." Looking at Wu Su lying at his feet, Li Chengqian directly threw him a word.

Hearing this, Wu Su raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian with a confused expression.

Li Chengqian didn't explain to him and said directly: "Your uncle's prestige in Hui Hui is very high, and it may be more suitable for him to continue to lead Hui Hui than you." ”

"No!" Wu Su subconsciously said, and looked at Li Chengqian with frightened eyes after speaking. He has already betrayed Tumidu, and if Li Chengqian now supports Tumidu to lead the Hui Dynasty, then he will only have a dead end.

Li Chengqian looked at Wu Su with a smile, and looked at Wu Su in a daze.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to say: "If King Gu hands over your uncle's 30,000 cavalry to you, can you watch it?"

Wu Su was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded his head and said, "Yes, I can see it." ”

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction when he heard this: "Pass the order, escort Tumidu and the guards around him to see King Gu, and the 30,000 cavalry will be guarded on the spot by Wu Su after collecting the horses and weapons." ”

Li Chengqian really had no choice, although these 30,000 people surrendered, they couldn't rest assured now, and Su Dingfang's men and horses would still be used to intercept the Xue Yantuo brigade who had retreated from the south.

And although Wu Su has a grudge against Tumidu, he has no enmity with other tribes in Xue Yantuo. After Tumidu and Po Yan were captured by the Tang army, it was highly likely that the remaining Xue Yantuo generals would accept Wu Su as their new leader.

Therefore, it is not possible to let Wu Su contact with other Xue Yantuo generals now, and it is the most correct way to let their two men contain each other.

Cheng Wuting hurriedly went to pass the order when he heard this, and Su Dingfang knew about Li Chengqian's arrangement, and he understood that Li Chengqian was preparing to join forces with the Tang Army led by Li Shimin to eat the remaining Xue Yantuo soldiers and horses.

While arranging for people to carry out Li Chengqian's orders, Su Dingfang also sent orders to all armies to prepare to lead their troops south.

---------------

The sun is in the middle of the sky, basking in the vast prairie.

Xue Rengui led two thousand cavalry to bypass Xue Yantuo's camp and rush north.

A few days ago, Li Ke sent a message through Pei Xingjian that if Li Chengqian was captured by Xue Yantuo, it would be a stain on his life, and it seemed that someone in the DPRK had already mentioned it to Li Shimin.

Xue Rengui almost gritted his teeth after hearing this, in Xue Rengui's heart, Li Chengqian not only had the grace of knowing him, but also a crown prince who was benevolent, loved the people, and made achievements in civil and martial arts.

Xue Rengui even thought that if Li Chengqian would one day inherit the unification, he must be a holy lord who surpassed the ancient and modern times, so he would never allow Li Chengqian to be humiliated, let alone accept that Li Chengqian was calculated by villains.

Xue Rengui has always been very calm on his face, but his heart is actually in chaos, when he knew that Xue Yantuo suddenly sent an army of 30,000 to besiege Li Chengqian, no one in the Tang army was optimistic about Li Chengqian at all.

What worries Xue Rengui the most is that if Li Chengqian was not captured by Xue Yantuo and died in the chaos, then he would have committed suicide and been buried after killing Xue Yantuo.

Xue Rengui galloped all the way and thought all the way, hating that he didn't follow Li Chengqian's side at the beginning.

Xue Rengui was marching at full speed, and suddenly the spies reported: There are tens of thousands of Tang troops five miles ahead of him who are rushing towards this side under the banner of the crown prince.

Xue Rengui hurriedly accelerated the speed of the march when he heard this, and he wanted to see if the Tang army in front was really Li Chengqian.

Soon the two armies met, Xue Rengui did not see Li Chengqian in the army, but he saw Su Dingfang and Cheng Wuting and Tumidu who was tied to a horse.

"How is His Royal Highness General Su and the Crown Prince?" Xue Rengui rode on a war horse and hugged Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang looked at Xue Rengui, who was eager, and hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted back: "General Xue doesn't have to worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is all right, and he is being protected by Wang Fangyi in a safe place at this time." ”

Xue Rengui only felt relieved when he heard this, and asked with a busy and serious face: "Where is General Su going to lead the army without protecting His Royal Highness the Prince?" In the end, there was some questioning.

Cheng Wu was afraid that Su Dingfang would be angry, and hurriedly explained loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered us to go south and join Your Majesty to surround Xue Yantuo's remnants. ”

Su Dingfang knew that Xue Rengui was not angry when he was worried about Li Chengqian, so he explained with a smile: "General Xue, rest assured, the Xue Yantuo soldiers and horses in the rear have been cleared, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has Wang Fangyi leading thousands of cavalry to guard the army, not far from the army, there is really something to save here." ”

Hearing this, Xue Rengui hurriedly clasped his fists again and said to Su Dingfang: "Xue Li is reckless, General Su don't blame him." ”

"Haha, why do you and I need to be like this." Su Dingfang laughed.

Xue Rengui confirmed that Li Chengqian's safe mood turned around, and he also said with high spirits: "These days chasing Xue Yantuo's Si Bird, I have never had a good kill, and I have been holding my breath for a while, and at this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe, and it is time to fight with him." ”

As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and raised his spear, pointed to the south and shouted, "Are you willing to go back with me to kill Hu'er?"

Xue Rengui's bright silver armor was particularly dazzling in the sun, and the two thousand Tang troops who had been following him had long regarded him as a god, and when they heard this, they all subconsciously shouted loudly: "I am willing to follow General Xue to the death." ”

Hahaha......

---------------

Xue Yantuo's army knew that he was by no means the opponent of the Tang Dynasty, and regarded capturing Li Chengqian as their only way to survive. After a morning in the camp, the servants Nashi and Bazhuo both thought that if they continued to defend it, they would only be wiped out, so they directly ordered to flee north, trying to join forces with Tumidu.

Li Shimin, whose eyes were red in a hurry, heard that Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses in the opposite camp had fled again, so he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed forward and shouted: "Chase!" ”

At this time, the Tang army had no hope for Li Chengqian's safety, and only hoped that he could defeat Xue Yantuo and save Li Chengqian with dignity.

On the prairie, the game of escape and chase was once again staged, and this chase lasted for nearly two hours.

Seeing that the sun was setting, the Tang cavalry was only one mile away from Xue Yantuo's main force, but they just couldn't catch up, and seeing that Xue Yantuo's main force was about to escape and ascend to heaven, Li Shimin and several generals were very anxious and couldn't help beating their horses.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a rumbling gunpowder explosion in front of him, Li Shimin looked up in disbelief, and saw black smoke rising from several places in Xue Yantuo's army formation, which was obviously a gunpowder explosion.

But who is in front?

Thundered......

When Li Shimin and the others were puzzled, the sound of gunpowder explosions in front of them continued, but Lord Xue Yantuo didn't care about anything else at this time, and even if he encountered gunpowder, he fled forward.

It's just that soon they stopped in front of the high slope, and thousands of bright armor of the Tang cavalry ran down the high slope, and Li Shimin could see that the general of this group of Tang cavalry was Xue Rengui two miles away.

Thinking that Xue Rengui turned around to intercept Xue Yantuo's main force, it could be seen that Cheng Qian had been captured by Xue Yan, thinking of this, anger swelled up, slammed the war horse, and shouted: "The soldiers will be killed with me." ”

The surrounding soldiers were infected by Li Shimin, and they all brandished their sabers and rushed forward with a roar.

When Li Shimin was rushing forward, he heard Li Shiji shouting from behind: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive, there are tens of thousands of Tang troops in front."

Li Shimin looked up and saw that there were tens of thousands of Tang troops behind Xue Rengui, who also rushed down from the high slope and confronted Xue Yantuo's main force head-on.

What surprised Li Shimin the most was that the tens of thousands of Tang troops were proudly waving the banner of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Didn't Cheng Qian get arrested?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin almost dropped his jaw in shock.
