Chapter Eighty-Four: King Qin Breaks Through Ten Thousand Troops with One Hundred Horses

Hanjiacang City is located in the north of Luoyang City, adjacent to the main city, the amount of grain storage is the most in the world, and it is also the most direct place for grain supply in Luoyang City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you want to take Luoyang, you must first hit Hanjia, which is an unavoidable problem. If Luoyang has enough food, I am afraid that the million-strong army will be difficult to conquer for a while.

I don't know if Emperor Yang of Sui was too confident or for other reasons, such an important logistics base was built outside the main city, which undoubtedly left a big flaw in the impregnable Luoyang City. The Wagang army besieged Luoyang before, and the strategy formulated was to take Hanjiacang City first, and the Tang army's strategy this time was the same.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin quietly ordered dozens of men and horses to inspect Beibi Mountain. As soon as he got on the horse and walked two steps, he saw Wei Zheng standing at the gate of the camp with a cold frost on his face.

"Where is Your Highness?"

"I'm going to inspect the camp." Li Er said with a little weakness.

"Why do you need to bring so many horses with you to patrol the camp?"

"I want to go to Beibi Mountain and see the situation in Luoyang City again." Li Shimin had no choice but to tell the truth, he had nothing to do with Wei Zheng.

"Don't ......" Wei Zheng spread his hands, "If Your Highness wants to take another risk, step on Wei Xuancheng." ”

"This ......" Li Er had a headache, this Wei Zheng was really like a fly, "As the commander-in-chief, this king must always go to the battlefield to inspect the enemy's situation, otherwise wouldn't he be fighting with his eyes closed?" ”

"Your Majesty can go if you want, you must bring enough people to prepare for the unexpected." Wei Zheng made a condition.

"It's just to survey the terrain, and you don't need to work hard, right?"

Wei Zheng didn't say a word, but the expression on his face was very decisive.

At this time, the old marshal Qu Tutong, the head of the march, Liu Hongji and others rushed when they heard the words, and they also felt that King Qin's problem of liking to take risks really shouldn't be, but they didn't dare to make such a direct admonition as Wei Zheng, and they were all kind words and persuasions: "Wei Xuancheng's words are reasonable, but King Qin, as the commander-in-chief, should naturally visit the front line to inspect, but he still needs to bring more talents." ”

Li Shimin had no choice but to order all the 500 soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, so he had to get off. After King Qin left, Wei Zheng was still not at ease, and suggested that Qu Tutong pay attention to the situation at any time in case of accidents.

Five hundred people and horses went straight to Beibi Mountain, which naturally alarmed Wang Shichong in Luoyang. After encountering the Xuanjia Army last time, he knew that the enemy's main force had arrived, and immediately decided to give up rescuing Cijian and collect his troops and return to the city. This time, I heard that a Xuanjia army went up to Beibi Mountain, and it was expected that the other party must be coming to explore the terrain of Luoyang, how could the other party get his wish.

But thinking of the last time the Tang army escaped from the ten thousand troops with only a few dozen people, I was very jealous of the combat effectiveness of this army. This time, the other party only had a few hundred people, and he was full of strength to give Tang Jun a dismount. hurriedly ordered 10,000 troops, and went straight to Beibi Mountain with Shan Xiongxin, Chen Zhiluo and other generals.

There is a mausoleum of Emperor Xuanwu of Wei on the north mountain, it is a high platform, Li Shimin is standing here at this time looking in the direction of Luoyang, suddenly saw the Luoyang city gate wide open, a large army is rushing towards his side, suddenly feel bad, and quickly send someone to take a fast horse back to the camp to report the news. He also led his five hundred men to hold the main road, and waited for the enemy to attack him halfway.

Wang Shichong's cavalry troops arrived first, and Li Shimin gave an order, and 500 men and horses charged down together by taking advantage of the terrain. The Zheng army was originally marching all the way, the formation was relatively scattered, and it was a back attack, and it was suddenly rushed by the five hundred Xuanjia army that was waiting for work.

Li Shimin was surrounded by 500 people, riding on horses, running like flying, shooting arrows with bows, and every time the strings sounded, one of the enemy soldiers would fall off his horse. With the force of the dive, 500 men rushed from the north mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and even cut through the vanguard of the opposing side.

However, at this time, Wang Shichong had also rushed to the battlefield with the follow-up troops, and the hoplites with shields and spears in their hands were not afraid of death in front of the Xuanjia army.

As the so-called strong crossbow is at the end of the momentum, it can't penetrate Lu Min, although the Xuanjia army has just broken through the enemy's front army, but its own speed has also slowed down a lot. At this time, he collided head-on with the opponent's heavy infantry, and after a while, it was like falling into a quagmire and being heavily surrounded by the Zheng army.

At this time, the battlefield was already in chaos, and the formations of both sides no longer existed, Li Shimin was very calm, if Zheng Jun still maintained the formation at this time, it would be difficult to have a chance to escape. Now it is a mess of porridge, but it is just fishing in troubled waters, and there is still a glimmer of life.

He sat on his horse and picked the opponent's generals to aim, and Zheng Jun was afraid of his archery skills, and no one dared to approach him within ten zhang. The scene here happened to fall in the eyes of Shan Xiongxin, and the young general's archery skills were so good, and he lifted the horse lance and went straight to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin saw that the other party was rushing over violently, but he did not panic, and shot an arrow coldly. Shan Xiongxin saw the other party raise his hand, and his reaction was also very fast, and he turned sideways slightly, avoiding the vital point.

This arrow only shot at his right rib, but it happened to be blocked by the scale armor on his body, and it did not penetrate deep into the flesh. The pain from his body made Shan Xiongxin go berserk, and he screamed, threatening to take this person's life.

Li Shimin touched the quiver, but his heart was half cold, just a battle, unnoticed, the quiver was empty, in a panic, he hurriedly raised the hard bow in his hand to meet the enemy.

The hard bow was broken by Shan Xiongxin's horse lance, but Li Shimin took advantage of this moment of delay and narrowly escaped the catastrophe.

Shan Xiongxin was willing to stop there, turned his horse back, and stabbed straight at Li Er again.

Li Er couldn't calm down this time no matter what, and said in his heart that my life would be suspended. When he was about to kill himself, he suddenly heard a loud shout in his ear, and the shout was like thunder.

With the sound of gold and iron colliding, the tip of the lance that was close to him was picked crooked by a lance that was slashing at him, and he lost his original goal. Li Shimin Dingqing saw that the person who came was Wei Chigong, who was wronged yesterday, and his face was still swollen at this time.

Shan Xiongxin had no choice but to abandon Li Er, pull back the lance from the air, and go to attack Chi Jingde.

Wei Chi Jingde's reaction was as fast as lightning, and before the other party's lance could be stabbed, he had already dodged to the side. Not only that, but when he grabbed the opponent's strength at this time, he stretched out his left hand like an iron pincer, and actually grabbed the lance on his side.

Shan Xiongxin was taken aback, it was the first time he had met such an opponent for half his life. This person not only dodged his inevitable weapon, but also took advantage of the situation to grab his own weapon, which is really a fierce general.

Wei Chigong was willing to let go of such a good opportunity, and took advantage of the moment when the other party was stunned, and stabbed the enemy in the chest.

Shan Xiongxin also reacted at this time, and hurriedly abandoned his long lance and leaned back to avoid the vital point, but it was a little late, and he only felt a pain in his chest, and fell under the horse.

From Shan Xiongxin's pursuit of Li Shimin to being stabbed off the horse by Wei Chigong, all this happened in a very short period of time, and only then did the surrounding Zheng Jun react.

"General Shan Xiongxin has fallen!" "Save the General!" …… Exclamations came and went.

"Your Highness, go away!" Wei Chigong ignored Shan Xiongxin under the horse, and took advantage of the chaos of the other party to cover Li Shimin's retreat.

The two of them were struggling to support themselves on the horse, and they suddenly heard the shouts of killing behind Zheng Jun, which resounded in the sky.

"The Tang army is coming...... I don't know who shouted. When Zheng Jun's soldiers heard this, their faces were colorless, and they immediately fell into a panic.

It turned out that as soon as there was movement in Luoyang City, the scouts on the Tang Army's side found out and hurried back to the camp to report. Qu Tutong judged that the other party must be heading for the King of Qin, and hurriedly went to the rescue with 8,000 troops. Halfway through, I happened to meet the cavalry sent out by Li Shimin to ask for help, and immediately asked the specific location of King Qin, and rushed to the battlefield non-stop.

Wang Shichong didn't expect that the other party's 500 people would be so difficult to deal with, and 10,000 people had fought for so long and did not completely wipe out the other party. I thought it was a battle to catch turtles in the urn, but now I was caught in front and back by the other party, and hurriedly issued an order to withdraw the army, and took a battalion of men and horses to cover and flee towards the city.

When Zheng Jun heard that the emperor had fled, he was even more defeated, and they threw away their armor and fled one after another.

In the battle, the Tang army captured Wang Shichong's champion general Chen Zhiluo alive, beheaded more than 1,000 ranks, captured more than 6,000 infantry troops, and only a few cavalry of the Zheng army escaped.

The Tang army returned to the camp in a great victory, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, rewarded Wei Chigong, who saved his life in the chaos in front of all the soldiers, and rewarded him with a box of gold. Li Er said: "I just released Wei Chi Jingde yesterday, but I didn't expect to receive a return today, how fast Wei Chi Jingjun repaid his kindness." ”

After the soldiers dispersed, Li Shimin left Wei Chigong alone and asked: "The general who almost killed this king today, I seem to have heard the soldiers of Zheng Jun call him General Shan Xiongxin, did you hear it too?" ”

"Returning to Your Highness," replied Wei Chi Jingde, "I really heard it, it is indeed Shan Xiongxin. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "I didn't expect that the world-famous Shan Xiongxin would be stabbed under the horse by the general, and the general is really a brave general." ”

"I also killed him unprepared," Wei Chi Jingde excused, "but this person reacted quickly, and my lance was not pierced." ”

"If he attacks Luoyang one day, he will take the head of this person." Li Er said hatefully.

The news of Wang Shichong's defeat soon spread throughout Luoyang City, and Wang Mai heard that Shan Xiongxin was seriously injured and returned to the city, so he hurriedly went to his house with a bottle of alcohol.

"Wheat, I'm afraid my brother won't be able to drink with you now." Shan Xiongxin said with a blank face. Although Wei Chigong's lance was avoided by him, his chest was pulled into a shallow opening, coupled with the bumps along the way, he now lost too much blood, but fortunately, he finally saved his life.

"Where is the second brother?" Wang Mai opened the mouth of the bottle, "I'm here to disinfect your wound, although it is late autumn now, it is still necessary to prevent the wound from becoming infected and pus." After speaking, he untied Shan Xiongxin's bandage and carefully wiped the wound with alcohol for him.

"Hiss......" The stinging pain from the wound made Shan Xiongxin take a breath of cold air.

"You bear with it, there are no antibiotics now, and if you really get infected, you will be in trouble."

"What is an antibiotic?"

“…… In short, you have to remember to scrub the wound with this alcohol every day, and then apply gold sore medicine, so that you will be a lively man in less than two months. ”
