Chapter 220: Eight hundred pacesetters rushed to the north slope

Blood-stained red arrows glide across the sky.

A person like Gai Su Yuanwen who has achieved great archery skills naturally has a lot of confidence in avoiding arrows, and only the Condor level person can shoot him with a bow and arrow, but if he wants to shoot him in front of him, unless he is in the rain of arrows, he can't even be a Condor hand, he didn't put this red arrow feather in his eyes at all, judging from the speed of the arrow feather, this young general has not even reached the realm of the Condor Hand, and he has a trace of strength, but he forgot one thing, this is originally a battlefield, he wants to step forward and kill the enemy with his own hands, Because there were too many people besieging the Tang army, he was squeezed here and couldn't move before he opened his bow and shot arrows.

The arrow feathers are like lightning, and it is coming in an instant, Gai Su Yuanwen gave up the arrow that was about to be shot, and flashed sideways, he couldn't make a mistake in order to shoot a small general on the other side and lead himself to be injured, and the current situation seems that the young general is already in his own pocket, but at this time, a general who was originally squeezed very close to his side saw the gap in front of him, and immediately hit his horse and rushed forward, and his shoulder happened to collide with Gai Su Yuanwen, and this kind of small collision was normal when the army was fighting, But this general's just right touch was fatal, and he just knocked back Gaisu Yuanwen, who was sideways to avoid the arrow.

"Poof."

Blood donation rushed out of Gai Su Yuanwen's left eye frame, due to the high intensity of the confrontation for a long time, Xue Rengui's body fell strictly, and the arrows shot out naturally did not have the best level, the guide zhì Gai Su Yuanwen only thought that Xue Rengui's archery skills were at most masters, not top, and the distance between the two was two hundred steps away, and the arrow feathers flew here, in fact, there was not much strength at all, but the eyes are the most vulnerable place in the human body, and the arrow was in the eyeball, so there was a reason not to stab in.

"Ahh

Gai Su Yuanwen screamed. Hurriedly covered his left eye with his hand, took a few breaths, and pulled the arrow feather out of his eye socket, and looked at the arrow with his right eye, which was already a little foggy, and there was a ball of flesh dripping blood hanging on it, not his eyeball.

Gai Su Yuanwen's anger instantly occupied his reason, and with a wave of his trembling right hand, Jiang Zuo, who hit Gai Su Yuanwen and heard Gai Su Yuanwen scream and turned his head to look at the situation, was pierced through the throat by the arrow that wore Gai Su Yuanwen's eyes.

"It's a pity that my body is less than half of what it was in its heyday. Otherwise, this arrow will surely be poured into the head of the enemy and take his life. Xue Rengui took the longbow and continued to dance the halberd to fight, on the battlefield, there was not much time for him to sigh, he didn't know Gai Su Yuanwen, but looking at his clothes, he probably guessed that this was a senior general of the enemy army, life and death in this battle were uncertain, and he would kill one more general. Just make one more!

The fighting in Liaodong Chang'an doesn't know, and the southern Xinjiang doesn't know either, and the only one who knows that there may be two armies fighting here is the general manager of the Hebei Provincial March, Li Daozong, the general of Zhenbei. But he didn't know exactly what was going on here, so it was impossible for Xue Rengui to have foreign aid, and when he led the hundreds of brothers who had killed like blood monkeys to fight his way out of the encirclement, Gai Su Yuanwen completely fainted. Gai Su Yuanwen is a general with strong control over the army, and it is precisely because he is such a general that when he is unconscious, the various armies belong to chaos. Therefore, Xue Rengui, who rushed out of the Goryeo army, also lost his direction, taking advantage of this gap, Xue Rengui led the remnants of about 800 people to run wild all night, and only stopped at dawn to feed the horses and rest, and bandage and heal the wounded sergeants.

At this time, almost all of the eight hundred horsemen were injured, and the heavier ones rolled off their horses and died directly at the moment when Xue Rengui ordered to rest, a small dirt slope was their temporary camp, and at this moment the clouds were gloomy and bleak on this dirt slope, wailing all over the ground, and the ten thousand knights who could move or were still sensible all untied the medicine bags on horseback, and all kinds of medicines produced by Datang Pharmaceutical Factory were swallowed by them like food and blood, including Hou Junji, who had been unconscious, Xue Rengui also fed him a few antidote pills, and in the coming days, The life and death of this defeated army is in his hands.

At the beginning of the war, Hou Junji ordered to bring more ordnance and materials, so the things on the shoulders of hundreds of war horses were still enough for them to use, and at this time, the soldiers felt that these things were particularly easy to use. Xue Rengui thought about this question from time to time in his head, and gradually fell asleep.

At noon, the scorching sun woke up these extremely tired people, the number of injured people was too many, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, Xue Rengui counted the people and horses, buried a few comrades who insisted on escaping and died, and left this place called the north slope by the locals with the people and horses.

Hou Junji still didn't wake up, but Xue Rengui couldn't take him back immediately, the Goryeo soldiers hadn't caught up for half a day It was already a fluke for the Tang army, he couldn't return along the same road, it was too easy to be found by the Goryeo army, and at this time, even if these people met a Goryeo thousand-person light cavalry, they would definitely die, so he had to go in the opposite direction, in a direction that the Goryeo people couldn't think of, and strive for a few days of recuperation, as long as the injuries and the foot strength of the war horse were raised, he could completely get rid of the Goryeo people.

The steamed rice is very fragrant, Yang Lin remembers that when he traveled to Hainan or Thailand in later generations, it was a must-order staple food, but now he can only grope for himself, and the fleet of the Lingnan Navy has sent news that they have completely cut off the passage of Montessori to the plateau, and use the navy to blockade the land, in fact, it is very simple, control all the ships of the Mekong River and even the Jinsha River, or simply sink them, and enlarge the boats on the river surface to keep patrolling, you can ensure that no one will cross the river on a large scale, And in this era, it is impossible to have bridges on these big rivers.

The ship of the Lingnan Navy is still not big enough in Yanglin's opinion after all, it can only be compared with the river ships of later generations, as for the sea ships, the Emperor is barely qualified, in order to prosper the coastal cities in the future, Datang is afraid that he will still have to build larger sea ships, after completing his last task, Yanglin's mood is completely relaxed, and the scorpion has a letter from the side, and the Nanzhao who has been in chaos for many years may not be able to escape the fate of the Tang Dynasty that has just been unified. How to fight this last battle is not something that Yang Lin can decide, he can only use the current situation of Jiaozhi to make an example for the big men in the imperial court, or Li Erlai.

If you want to really own this land, you mainly have to collect the hearts of the people in this land, hoping that they will not be blinded by the gold, silver, and copper mountains of Nanzhao. In the original history, there were often rebellions here until the Ming Dynasty a few hundred years later.

Li Er finally officially proposed to Monado, and the conditions given were not bad, hereditary duke, the title of duke is not worth much in the duke's flying Tang Dynasty, Yang Lin sometimes analyzes in private, Li Er's throne is from the duke! But the hereditary duke is different, if Monado accepts Zhao'an, then except for Lingnan Feng An. She will be the second hereditary duke of Datang, and she will not be demoted because she is passed on to future generations, basically as long as she does not rebel, Datang will be in one day. Her descendants will have an inheritance duke, live a free life, and the fief assigned to her descendants is not small, a state land. In the affluent Gangnam.

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, came to Dali City as an ambassador to Zhao'an and was politely received by Monado, and after the two sides exchanged a very heavy meeting gift, Monado put forward his own opinions. Nanzhao Mengshi can be a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, but the fief must be Nanzhao, and the principality will be established later, Monado is the queen of the principality, after the completion of the Nanzhao Principality, the Tang Dynasty is recognized as the suzerain, and the annual tribute can be paid to the Tang Dynasty every year, and even limit the number of troops, but the Nanzhao Principality encounters foreign invasion, and the Tang Dynasty must send troops to ensure the safety of the Nanzhao Principality, as for other aspects, Monado said that it can be discussed in detail.

Since Montessori has set conditions, it proves that some talk about it, and some talk about it, Li Xiaogong naturally won't make a decision lightly, and such a major matter must be reported to Li Er and decided by the ministers after consultation.

In the camp of the Tang Army, except for Yanglin, the commanders of all walks of life climbed mountains and waded through rivers under the scorching sun to participate in the military meeting, and the day when the military meeting was held could only be held seven days after Li Er issued the notice.

"Today's discussion is the final discussion of whether to fight or not fight in the last battle in the land of Nanzhao, if you have any opinions, you can mention them first."

The irritability of the hot day, Li Er didn't want to talk much, the ghost weather here, if it weren't for the flower dew water, wind oil essence and other things that Yang Lin got out in time, he didn't know how to live.

"Fight, of course you have to fight, otherwise the imperial court with hundreds of thousands of troops to do in this deep mountain and old forest, this expedition of the old man is in charge of the post of the general Sima of the three armies, your majesty, you don't know, the battalions report hundreds of cases of heat stroke every day, and there are a few cases of being bitten by poisonous insects, snakes and ants every day, and there are several cases of losing their lives every day, this is still the result of the enough medicines we brought before the expedition, and the result of unlimited supply, according to me, the little girl of Mona Duo made such and such a request is dragging time and wanting to drag our hundreds of thousands of troops alive in this mountain."

Cheng Biting Jin and other Li Er's opening remarks immediately began to complain, except for the moment when the beast appeared, there was never any wind in this mountain forest, and the banana fan in his hand never stopped shaking, even if it was a big army, the clothes on his body were so small that it was like not wearing, the northerners really couldn't stand the heat in the south, and the disease prevention and epidemic prevention measures proposed by Yanglin were strictly implemented from the beginning of Lingnan, but they still couldn't prevent illness and accidents, and the army went all the way, and the non-combat attrition has reached nearly a thousand. Cheng Yanjin, who had never been in charge of the general Sima of hundreds of thousands of troops, was startled when he saw this number.

"Yes, yes, Lao Cheng usually doesn't have any skills, this matter is reasonable, I heard from those small tribes who took refuge in Nanzhao, this is not the hottest time in Nanzhao, there is another month, in July, the sun here can crack people's skin, and the poisonous insects, snakes and ants here will double the reproduction, and there is nowhere to put their feet in many places." Wei Chigong listened to Cheng Yanjin's words and then said, but his first sentence made Cheng Yanjin unhappy.

"What do you mean you don't have any skills at all? You have the ability, you can capture Monado's little girl for me now" The roar of the two old princes sounded, and the civil ministers and military generals had to persuade them again and again, no way, the weather is hot, and the people's anger is also great, Li Er took out a bottle of wind oil essence from his thin clothes and wiped it on his forehead, and only then did he remember that there was a letter from Yanglin sent by the chamberlain last night, when he was talking to Xiliang, he held it in his arms and didn't read it, who would have thought that he had forgotten it later.

The letter was unfolded, and the content inside was actually very brief, with only one sentence: 'I heard that my father had the ambition to rule the world, why did he hesitate at this moment?' ’

Li Er looked at the letter paper and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, yes, if he has the ambition to dominate the world, it is impossible to allow others to be called kings and emperors, this condition does not need to be talked about at all, but looking at Yang Lin's tone, it seems that everything is ready, just waiting for himself to reach out and pick the ripe fruit.
