Chapter 203: Burning the Company Camp
"Mother, did my father really kill you?" Li You in the big tent is still tossing and turning. He couldn't believe that his father would kill his mother.
But his uncle Yin Hongzhi told him so, and also said that his father was sending someone to find him. As long as he is found, there is absolutely no possibility of him surviving.
Just as Li You was in tears and thinking wildly, a figure suddenly entered his tent. Before he could say anything, he felt a pain at the base of his ear, and then he lost his intuition.
When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the camp. And the first thing he saw was not someone else, it was the sixth Li Su, who usually had a good relationship with him.
Seeing that Li You was awake, Li Yu hurriedly shouted loudly: "The fifth is awake, the fifth is awake." ”
Then Li Ke, Li Tai and others all came around, which frightened Li You. felt that he must have been arrested by Li Shimin, and the only thing waiting for him was death.
So he took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, and jumped up directly and rushed out. But he collided with Li Chengqian, who had just come over.
In the end, Li Chengqian grabbed the collar and dragged him back. And said, "Which wind do you kid smoke, and where are you going to run in the middle of the night." ”
"Brother Crown Prince, no matter what, we are also brothers. Now that my father has killed my mother, he will never let me go. Raise your noble hand and let me live. Li You said to Li Chengqian with tears in his eyes.
Before Li Chengqian could speak, Li Tai on the side said: "Was your kid stupid by your uncle, but we came to save you on the orders of our father." ”
Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to help Li You up, and said, "If the imperial brother is not mistaken, these are all what your uncle told you, right?" ”
"Didn't my father kill my mother? Then why did my uncle take me out of Chang'an City overnight? Li You said to Li Chengqian with a puzzled expression.
Li Chengqian shook his head with a sigh, and then told Li You about Yin Hongzhi's conspiracy. and told Li You that now Concubine Yin is worried about him, and she washes her face with tears every day.
After understanding what happened, Li You gritted his teeth angrily. I can't wait to personally lead people out and kill Yin Hongzhi with a thousand knives.
Seeing Li You's extremely hateful expression, Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Now is the time for us to watch the play, after watching this scene, you won't feel so angry." ”
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and walked up the hillside, and the other princes naturally followed. When they came to the hillside, they saw that there was already chaos in Yang Yanjie's camp.
Because it wasn't just now, countless rats suddenly rushed out from all around the barracks. The rats also had a fire on them.
As the rats rushed into Yang Yanjie's barracks, the tent in the barracks was quickly ignited by the flames on the rats. And more and more rats with fire on their bodies appeared, and the barracks became even more panicked.
It turned out that this was Li Chengqian's arrangement, and Li Chengqian first let the owl catch a lot of mice. Then they tied fire starters to the tails of these rats.
After the final ignition, the squirrels and rabbits drove them away, allowing the rats to rush towards Yang Yanjie's military camp.
Soon the entire barracks was set on fire, but that was just the beginning. Because it's not hard to extinguish it now.
And the main thing is that there were no casualties. After all, the place where Yang Yanjie camped was very dry, so only those cloth tents were set on fire.
But at this time, countless owls flew in the sky. At the same time, they also grasp pine cones on their claws. and threw it directly into Yang Yanjie's military camp in the air.
These pine cones burn quickly when caught on fire, instantly turning a fire that could have been controlled into an uncontrollable one. And the owls in the sky did not stop throwing pine cones downward.
However, Yang Yanjie couldn't sit still, and ordered four soldiers to extinguish the fire. While ordering the archers to shoot arrows into the sky.
Because the owls did not fly at a high altitude, the bow and arrow caused a lot of casualties to them. But now their task is complete.
As the fire in the barracks was uncontrollable, Yang Yanjie hurriedly found Yin Hongzhi and asked him to take Li You out of the barracks quickly.
But at this time, they found out that Li You had already disappeared. But now that they have reached this situation, they can't be allowed to go to Li You anymore.
Yang Yanjie and Yin Hongzhi could only take people and rushed out of the barracks. But they had just broken out of the barracks and fled the threat of fire. But stones flew in the sky.
Although the stone is only the size of a fist, it flies very fast. As long as the soldiers were smashed in the head, none of them could stand up
It turned out that Li Chengqian asked Bai Huwei to take advantage of the trees on the hillside. It was made into a natural trebuchet.
Of course, the damage he did was minimal. However, its real use is to disrupt the morale of the army, not to prepare to use it to destroy many enemy troops.
Seeing that Yang Yanjie's army was already in chaos, Li Chengqian's face showed a sinister smile. Then the order to attack was given.
The three self-defense rates shot from three directions at the same time, causing a lot of casualties to Yang Yanjie in an instant. But now Yang Yanjie can no longer command his army.
Maybe they've been in Lishan for too long, or maybe they've stopped thinking of themselves as soldiers. They even think they are bandits. Therefore, military discipline naturally became very lax.
Although the number of people was nearly twice that of Li Chengqian, it did not occupy the slightest advantage. In the end, Yang Yanjie could only take his cronies and protect Yin Hongyan to break out.
After all, it's a night battle, so there's no way to do it without loopholes. Because of this, Yang Yanjie and Yin Hongzhi fled in the direction of Yanmen Pass with less than a few hundred people.
……
After dawn the next day, Li Chengqian ordered people to inspect the battle damage.
In the end, after some statistics, the battle damage was finally reported to Li Chengqian's hand. Li Chengqian opened it and saw that in this battle, the total loss of the three guards was close to 800 people.
When Li Chengqian looked at Xue Rengui and the others, he found that they all had a trace of excitement on their faces. This couldn't help but make Li Chengqian's face gloomy.
I saw Li Chengqian slapped the battle damage table directly in front of them, glared at them angrily and said: "More than 800 brothers are gone in your hands, and you can still smile now." ”
Li Chengqian's sudden reprimand made everyone very puzzled. After all, compared to the other party, his own losses are almost negligible.
From the point of view that the enemy loses 1,000 and loses 800 to win, this is definitely a big victory. I don't understand why Li Chengqian is so angry.
