Chapter 130: The Captive

The battle didn't go well, and that's how it was for Lu Wei.

They were like kites, and Li Yuanji always spaced about 150 paces apart, and then shot them with a bow and arrow.

Lu Wei wanted to speed up, even at the expense of stabbing the war horse, but it was still to no avail, the range of their bows and arrows was too short, and it was difficult to reach even a hundred steps on a horse.

However, the final result was that the 100 people belonging to Lu Wei's own brigade, plus those who joined in the pursuit, totaled about 150 people, and more than half of them fell, and the rest were killed by 20 or 30 people on the way to escape.

The stabbed war horse had already consumed all its physical strength, and together with Lu Wei, the remaining forty people were all captured.

And the number of casualties of the forbidden army on the opposite side is zero!

The biting cold wind blew, making people shiver, just after a violent exercise, now it stopped violently, and then it was blown by the cold wind, and the stinky sweat with heat all over the body quickly cooled, which made people uncomfortable.

One by one, the rebels fell to their knees on the ground, tied up wantonly with ropes that they had found out of nowhere, and dozens of people were connected together, unable to move.

"So that's what you said about the new method of warfare?" Looking at the rebels who were kneeling on the ground, Wei Chi Jingde sighed with surprise on his face.

"How does it feel?" Li Yuanji smiled slightly and asked.

"It's very wretched, I don't feel the blood that a soldier should have on the battlefield, I feel like fighting with unarmed civilians again, without the slightest sense of accomplishment. But it's very relieving to be able to deal with the enemy before they get closer, and to settle this battle with minimal or no casualties, which is very strange, and I can't say the specifics. Wei Chi Jingde was a little entangled.

The Tang people are still martial, and almost all men practice martial arts, so the combat effectiveness of the Tang army can be guaranteed.

What the Tang people advocate is to use absolute strength to directly crush the opponent, which is the kind of hard-fought battle, fighting with blood, passion, grandeur, and heroism.

Li Yuanji's tactics are somewhat similar to Li Jing's, which are the kind of tactics that can achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties, but they are not popular.

It feels like he always likes to engage in some small means, and there is a feeling of victory.

"If you can win this battle without the dead, why should you increase casualties for no reason? Think of them as your relatives, and you'll understand the truth. Li Yuanji sighed helplessly.

This is a fixed idea formed by the warriors of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it cannot be changed overnight, on the contrary, if you use some strategies on the battlefield, you will be looked down upon, which is really strange, but this is not Li Yuanji's purpose, since it has been mentioned, it is natural to teach Wei Chi Jingde a good lesson.

"The method of war is not immutable, and there is no invincible method of war, if they are stationed there just now and do not come out, we can only be helpless, if there is enough time, we can fence it and trap them, if there is not enough time, we can only attack in a normal way, what kind of battle method to choose, it depends on the specific situation at that time."

Wei Chi Jingde nodded a little unhappily, such an obscene tactic, Lao Tzu disdains to use it, if you want to win, you will win with dignity, and engage in so many conspiracies and tricks to be a bird? I can't afford to lose this person anyway.

Wei Chi Jingde himself is also a veteran of the alcohol war, and he doesn't need to say anything about it himself, people know more about war than he does.

Li Yuanji didn't think about going to Banmen to get an axe or anything, but just mentioned it slightly, and seeing that Wei Chi Jingde was not interested, he beckoned to the soldiers guarding the prisoners.

A captive was escorted in front of Li Yuanji by two guards, kicked hard, and the captive fell to his knees in response.

"Let's talk about the situation in Fenzhou!" Li Yuanji asked coldly, an ordinary soldier, it was a vain question to ask, but it was particularly necessary when interrogating prisoners of war, and then added: "Only half of you can survive, think about it carefully." ”

"I don't know, I really don't know, I'm just a government soldier, and the brigade commander tells me to do whatever I want......" The soldier cried out in a bit of collapse.

"You're attacking the Praetorian Army!" Glaring fiercely, Li Yuanji continued to ask with an unkind face.

"I know! But the brigade commander said that if I don't do this, I will die, and if I do it, I will survive, I really don't know anything. ”

……

Several captives were interrogated one after another, and the answers were almost identical, all of them did not know, and they would die if they did not do it.

No one wants to die, so they have no choice.

This is the case with the ancient policy of fooling the people, the soldiers only listen to their superiors, do whatever they are told to do, and have no independent thinking, even if it is a rebellion, as long as they are deceived in the early stage and dragged them into the water, the later ones will not do it, and they will not have a choice.

But the advantage is that when they are outnumbered, they can choose to surrender, and the above will not hold these ordinary soldiers accountable, but they are still government soldiers in a different camp.

The deputy marshal was killed by a bow and arrow in the first wave of attacks, and the brigade commander Lu Wei was captured, and asked several people one after another, and all of them corrected Lu Wei, a brigade commander, the level is not high, but if you can go deep into here to chase and kill, you will definitely know some information.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Wei was brought in front of him.

"Tell me everything you know!" Li Yuanji did not detour, and the opening scene was to show his identity.

This king?

Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Li Yuanji, except that the clothes on his body seemed to be a little different, there was no difference between the others, but he had never seen Li Yuanji, but he also roughly guessed Li Yuanji's identity.

"King Qi?" Lu Wei asked tentatively.

"Looks like they're right, you know better." Continuing to smile, Li Yuanji said very comfortably.

"King Yan's incident this time is purely for the injustice suffered by His Highness, why doesn't His Highness go to Xinping? King Yan will definitely support His Royal Highness as the emperor! Lu Wei seems to have found hope and brought his usual skills into full play without reservation.

"It's a bit clever, but it's a pity it's in the wrong place!" Li Yuanji made a gesture of regret and continued: "What does Li Yi think in his heart, do you really think that this king doesn't know? It's best to put away your little caution and play with this king, you're not qualified enough! ”

Lu Wei was indeed stronger than the previous soldiers, but he was not much stronger.

After being seen through by Li Yuanji, Lu Wei instantly lost his mind, as the saying goes, people don't kill for themselves, in order to survive, Lu Wei quickly revealed everything he knew.

It's simple, it's old-fashioned, but it's tried and tested.

Wei Chi Jingde sighed with annoyance, and said helplessly with a helpless face: "Zhao Cihao is afraid that he is more than lucky, hey, Li Yi is obviously with soldiers, how can he be gullible?" ”

"Things may not have come to that point, Zhao Cihao and Yang Qi are not fools, he Li Yi can't do anything, it's too stupid!" Li Yuanji was not worried.

One is that he knew about Li Yi's rebellion, and the other is that he knew the result of the back, but he didn't expect that when he forgot about this matter, he bumped into it by mistake.

"Xinping is controlled by Li Yi, isn't he a fool?" Wei Chi Jingde was a little angry.

"Xinping may not be lost!" Li Yuanji said without hurry.

I looked at the captives, and then looked at the more than ten homeless people, the dead and the wounded, it was really sad to hear it, and the cleverness was mistaken by the cleverness, if they didn't escape, they wouldn't lose their lives, this cold winter, leaving home, unprepared and hasty travel, even if there was no accident, it was difficult to support, let alone now.

"Send someone to send them back to Chang'an together, let's continue, after delaying such a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today." Arranging the aftermath, Li Yuanji muttered while muttering, the good plan is about to be in vain again, not only is there no beauty to accompany him tonight, but there is no heating to enjoy, it is really a beep dog.

Wei Chi Jingde was still a little uneasy, and sent thirty guards to escort those prisoners of war, and at the same time told one of them that it would take a lot of effort to complete the explanation.

After some cleaning, the arrows shot at the carriage were removed, and the horses that fell to the ground were replaced, and the team continued to travel, and Li Yuanji and the three returned to the carriage.

"Shhh...... Good...... It's cold! Chunhua, who hadn't moved much, curled up in a ball, trembling uncontrollably, and even her lips were a little purple, frightened and frozen.

The brazier doesn't seem to have any effect, and the carriage is ventilated on all sides, making people feel that it is better to ride directly on a horse.

wants to continue to fight the landlord, but one freezes into a dog, the other is absent-minded, and he can't play at all.

Li Yuanji, who was bored in every way, simply picked up two quilts, put one under his body and the other on his body, and slept with his head covered.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon, and outside Xianyang City, a large number of people were waiting anxiously on both sides of the road.

Xianyang County Ling Cui Juzheng led a group of officials of the Yamen to wait anxiously at the gate of the city, the weather was dry, the cold wind was around, many people were freezing and stamping their feet, and the people were cursing countless times in their hearts, but there was still no effect, even if they were scolded for this day, they still had to wait here.

"It's coming!" The guards on the city wall saw the convoy in the distance, with cars and horses, which must be the car of the King of Qi, and hurriedly shouted to Cui Ju under the city.

"Cheer up the old man, if anyone dares to lose the old man's face, don't blame the old man for not being emotional!" Cui Ju straightened his clothes, took off the silk scarf around his neck and threw it to the servants, snorted coldly, and commanded everyone.

The king of Qi has no power, but it is also the king, the Cui family has a cooperative relationship with the king of Qi, so Cui Ju must serve well, in case the king of Qi opens a cement workshop in Xianyang, then his county order can not soar Huangda?
