Chapter 328: How Is This Possible?
At the same time that Sun Wanrong led the army to lurk, Li Xian led 20,000 cavalry to the East Kip Stone Valley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time was actually an extremely risky military operation, after learning about Li Xian's detailed battle plan, some old and serious generals were very opposed to this, because it was very likely to bring danger to Li Xian, but at Li Xian's insistence, all the people did not oppose it anymore, because they all saw in Li Xian's words that Li Xian could definitely fight for the interests of the country and the people, and this spirit moved them all, Li Xian, as a dignified prince, was so desperate, How dare they fall behind?
Of course, what these people don't know is that although this kind of risk-taking style is also Li Xian's tradition, but similar strategies do have to pay a lot of price, and this is a little different from Li Xian's previous tradition of cherishing human life, Li Xian is naturally well aware of this, but Li Xian also has his own helplessness, the reason why he has taken risks many times, and even does not hesitate to use himself as bait, so as to fight a decisive battle with the other party, the main reason is that his time is running out, because Gaozong's condition is now very serious, according to his memories in his previous life, Gaozong's Shouyuan has only one or two years left, if he doesn't end the war in the north as soon as possible, in case he is not around when Gaozong dies, such consequences are really a little unacceptable, once the Empress Wu holds the power in his hands, at least he has an advantage in righteousness, then even if he has the ability, it is impossible to confront the whole world.
Therefore, he must now use this risky means to fight a decisive battle with the enemy army as soon as possible, at least to extinguish the rebellion of Sun Wanrong and Dae Zuorong in a short time, and at that time, even if the battle situation in Silla is still stalemate, he can calmly return to the court.
Although this operation seems to be a bit risky, Li Xian is not unprepared, unless he is particularly unlucky, otherwise the chances of winning are still relatively high, otherwise he would not be able to fight this battle at the cost of his life.
Li Xian did not lead the army behind the formation as the Khitan scouts investigated, but personally led the most elite five hundred Donggong guards under his command, walking in the forefront, they were all two war horses, one horse was naturally the master, and the other war horse was carrying weapons, including Li Xian's special Mo knife weighing more than 50 catties, as well as Li Xian's two-edged spear.
Of course, with the identity of the crown prince Li Xian, even the war horse used to carry the equipment is a famous horse, named Curly Hair, which can bear an astonishing load, and the two weapons add up to more than 100 catties, but this war horse does not feel tired at all.
Of course, the news that Li Xian was in front of him was actually unknown to no one other than the five hundred East Palace guards and several cronies under Li Xian's command, and the young general who was riding a red horse and wearing silver armor behind the battle was also Li Xian's use of the disguise technique to find a person with a similar appearance to dress up, the purpose was naturally to confuse Sun Wanrong.
And the most important point is that in fact, Li Xian deployed a fine work in Sun Wanrong's army, since he had long known that Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong would rebel, how could Li Xian not be prepared? However, these were several soldiers who had followed Li Xian in the course of his war with Goguryeo, and these people mysteriously disappeared after Li Xian ended the Goguryeo war, and were placed in the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion, and gradually gained Sun Wanrong's trust.
It's just that these few fine works are very precious, Li Xian has not used them before, and now it is a critical period, in order to be able to avoid risks as much as possible in this battle, he still used those fine works, and also found out the news that Sun Wanrong will be at the end of the canyon, leaving a flat terrain for the Tang army, Li Xian's heart moved when he heard the news, and he decided to personally lead these five hundred elites, relying on this flat terrain, and the Khitan decisive battle.
Of course, Li Xian also laid out all means to ensure that this battle would minimize his own losses, and at the same time encircle and annihilate the Khitan army, and strive not to let anyone slip through the net.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, our people have already launched an operation, and now it is progressing very smoothly, and they are fully able to complete the task smoothly." Just as Li Xian led the army to advance at a rapid pace, Yang Siqiao, the deputy commander of the pro-army, suddenly ran in front of him and whispered to him.
"Okay, let them be careful." Li Xian also commanded in a low voice, and then rushed forward without stopping.
Although this canyon is narrow, it is relatively flat, so it can accommodate one person and one horse to walk, so the marching speed of the army is not slow, just half an hour's effort, Li Xian took the lead in coming to that flat area.
"Hehe, the destination has arrived, get ready, and defend at any time." Li Xian gave the order in a low voice, and then the herald quietly played a flag that the enemy did not know at all.
After receiving the order, all the people were carefully prepared, and at the same time, some people squinted their eyes and looked to the sides, the purpose was naturally self-evident, to defend at any time.
At this moment, a loud roar was suddenly heard, and everyone took out the big shield in an instant, and then raised it in unison, forming a copper wall and iron wall, such a movement is so standard and tight, it is like a cloud of water in the same industry, it is really unbelievable.
Especially Sun Wanrong, who saw this scene on the top of the mountain, was even more shocked, because he didn't expect that Tang Jun would be able to create such an incredible scene, because even the most well-trained elite would really be able to do this.
But how did Sun Wanrong know that just with the action of raising the shield, Li Xian led the 20,000 people under his command to practice for half a month, if there was no intensive training in peacetime, no matter how elite the army was, it would be impossible to do this.
In such a situation, the first round of arrow rain of the Khitan army naturally caused extremely weak damage, and only a few dozen unlucky soldiers were unfortunately killed by stray arrows, in addition to more than 200 soldiers were slightly injured.
"This, how is this possible? Damn Tang thief, how could there be such a tight defense? Sun Wanrong's face was full of disbelief, but he still didn't believe in evil next, gritted his teeth and said: "Put the rolling wood and stones, I don't believe it, no matter how hard the Tang thief's shield is, can it block our rolling wood and stones?" ”
Then the herald waved the command flag, so the command flag fluttered in various high places, and Sun Wanrong's order was issued.
"Hmph, I'll see how these Tang thieves can resist next?" Sun Wanrong's face suddenly showed a hint of happiness, and he clenched his fists and said. (To be continued.) )
