Chapter 591: Because I Can't
(Thanks for the reward of worrying and unhappy)
Chapter 591 Because I Can't
Indeed, as Li Xian expected, the scout rangers sent out by Li Shimin were actually 2,000 people, if Li Huining really only returned to Chang'an with 100 personal guards, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the fate of being locked up and taken on the way. Li Shimin didn't even need to send her back to Li Xianjun, he just found a secluded and uninhabited place to imprison Li Huining, and then released her when he needed her, anyway, the place where she was needed was just to say a word.
And since Li Xian said that Li Huining would be sent back to Chang'an City, then Li Huining didn't need to worry about anything.
Li Xian took Yu Wenshi and the main general, Pei Xingyan, Wu Yunzhao and others at his disposal, and then brought 10,000 elite horses, led Cheng Zhijie, the eldest grandson Wuji, and the vast sea generals, escorted Li Huining from the Yanyun army camp outside the eastern capital, and galloped all the way to Chang'an.
Li Shimin has a bit of arrogance in his personality, but he is cautious and cautious. He didn't take everyone with him when he returned to Chang'an this time, leaving Duan Zhixuan with an army of 100,000 still stationed here to monitor Yan Yunjun's army, he selected 50,000 elite soldiers to return to Chang'an with three headless corpses, and sent Han Shixuan to lead 30,000 troops to follow up to respond.
In any case, this is a foolproof solution. Speaking of which, now he has 180,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if he storms Chang'an, he may be able to overcome it. But unless he really becomes an idiot, he will never do the idiotic thing of leading troops to attack Chang'an.
Duan Zhixuan was ordered to garrison the camp to resist Li Xian, and also to prevent Li Huining from rushing back to Chang'an with Li Yuanji's head. But when he learned that Li Huining had left the Yanyun Army camp, he shook his head with a wry smile and said to himself, "This time...... You can't stop saying anything. ”
10,000 Yanyun Jing rides, and when the speed is raised, it is 10,000 tigers and wolves, who dares to stop it? Who can stop it?
Duan Zhixuan knew that he would never be able to stop it, but he still ordered the Tang cavalry to intercept it. However, he made a move on his side, and Yu Wenshi let Yan Yunjun approach 1,500 steps towards the Tang army's camp. The two sides were separated by less than fifteen miles, and they could not walk a few 1,500 steps. Duan Zhixuan ordered the army to form in front of the camp, he thought that Yan Yunjun was just for show, who would have thought that Yuwenshi was actually a ruthless person, and ordered to transfer all the 100 stone-throwing carts in the rear camp, just waiting for him to give an order to let the Tang army army make a huge stone rain in the formation.
Duan Zhixuan had no choice but to order the cavalry to retreat.
He retreated, and the Yuwen Shi and then stopped.
Wang Shichong in the eastern capital thought that he had an opportunity, and sent Shan Xiongxin to lead 5,000 troops out of the city to attack the back of Yanyun's army, but was intercepted by Pei Xingyan, a vicious battle, Zheng Jun not only got a little cheap, but also left more than 2,000 corpses, Shan Xiongxin took Pei Xingyan's three hammers and almost vomited blood, so he had to flee back in embarrassment. Wang Shichong personally led the troops to respond, and was almost taken by Pei Xingyan to seize the city gate, which frightened Wang Shichong almost his heart to stop.
The scene when he defeated Li Mi was almost the same as today, and he still remembers the scene of that day vividly. To be honest, Wang Shichong still can't understand how he won that day, Li Mi's army was no less than 200,000, and his eastern capital Zheng army did not have a total of 10,000 at that time. But it was such a seemingly desperate counteroffensive that actually defeated the Wagangzhai army, and the 200,000 army was wiped out, and Li Mi simply withdrew from the ranks of the struggle for hegemony.
Wang Shichong finally withstood Pei Xingyan's offensive, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said that miracles really won't appear in the same place and the same person twice.
He didn't know that Li Mi, who had achieved his last mythical victory, had now turned into a cold corpse. The head was separated, the body was trapped on the back of a war horse, and the head was sent to Xu Shiji's army, and he didn't know what would change in the anger of the Qi Jun's soldiers, if Wang Shichong knew, he would never doubt that Li Mi's head would be smashed into mud by the Qi Jun's soldiers and thrown into the pigsty.
When Li Mi didn't die, he was not qualified to compete for the world, why wasn't Wang Shichong like this?
Not only is he like this, most of the people who were once brilliant and once powerful are now qualified to chase the pinnacle of power, Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang, Gao Shida, Du Fuwei, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju, Luo Yi, Yu Wenhua, these names are either going away or have gone away. The situation of the heroes rising together has collapsed, Li Yuan's family is dominant, and the only people in the world who can compete with their military might are Li Xian and Dou Jiande.
Wang Shichong was disheartened, but Li Shimin, who tied himself to the prison car, was full of ambition.
What he has to do now is to fight with everyone, as long as he can return to Chang'an City first, then the initiative is all in his hands, 50,000 elite people enter the city, who else can stop him from sitting on that chair?
In the bleak north wind, in a solid iron cage, Li Shimin, who was dressed in prison clothes, was not embarrassed and full of spirit.
……
……
The north wind made the iron armor even colder and harder, so cold that it seemed that a fallen leaf could make the iron armor crack like crisp ice. In such cold weather, even the strongest men will shiver with cold. On the wide and flat official road, a black dragon-like cavalry moved forward at full speed, no one shivered, and the eyes behind the mask were full of fighting spirit. They are the world-famous Yanyun Jingqi, they not only fight with the enemy, but also fight with the heaven and earth, although it is not endless fun, but also have a unique taste of pride.
From the Eastern Capital to Chang'an, there are many big cities along the way, the Tang army is heavily guarded, and no matter how strong Yan Yunjing's cavalry is, it is impossible to break the city with cavalry, and the reason why Li Shimin seems to be a little unscrupulous is because of this. The cities and fortresses along the way are all controlled by the Tang army, although he is a nominal prisoner at this time, but Qu Tutong and Yin Kaishan, who led the troops, are all his people, as long as these two people order the counties along the way not to open the door for Yan Yunjing to ride over, Li Xian unless Yan Yunjing rode the war horse with wings and flew over, otherwise no matter how fast the fine cavalry is, it can't compare to the speed of the Tang army's closing the door.
Li Xian didn't have the ability to put wings on every war horse, but he had the ability to make the fine horse really float.
Out of the Yanyun army camp outside the eastern capital, Li Xian led the army all the way to the west. Duan Zhixuan tried his best to transfer the cavalry in the camp to block it, and then transferred 20,000 people to block the official road, and lined up with a gun array to prevent the elite cavalry from rushing over, he knew that the cavalry of the Tang Army was by no means the opponent of Yan Yunjing's cavalry, even if the strength was twice that of Yanyun's elite cavalry, he didn't want to win this battle. So, he didn't want to win from the beginning.
He just wanted to hold Li Xian back, and just holding it down was the biggest victory.
Yu Wenshi and led the army to the west, Duan Zhixuan gritted his teeth and ordered the cavalry to continue to entangle Yan Yunjing's cavalry, and then mobilized all the men and horses to line up to resist Yu Wenshi and his men and horses. He was worried about fighting this battle, but he knew that the energy consumption would be consumed for a moment, and if he dragged Li Xian for a while, he would be good in front of His Royal Highness King Qin. But Yu Wenshi was really pressing, so he had to order the cavalry to be transferred back, and when the cavalry returned, he learned that Yan Yunjing's cavalry had gone far away.
With 20,000 cavalry, he didn't dare to block 10,000 cavalry head-on, he only dared to harass and contain him, this kind of fighting would be a shame anyway, but Duan Zhixuan was not afraid of being embarrassed at this time, he was afraid that he would lose his life by mistakenly committing a major event of King Qin.
The black dragon-like Yan Yunjing cavalry easily tore through the first line of defense formed by the Tang cavalry, and then left the assembled cavalry behind him. Speaking of which, there is no one who uses cavalry like Li Xian today. In fact, almost all defenses were abandoned, and the weight of the horses was reduced to a minimum, thus increasing the speed of the cavalry to the extreme.
Breaking through the first blockade of the Tang Army, Li Xian did not have a trace of pride. He knew what kind of person Li Shimin was, and naturally knew how many difficulties and obstacles there would be on the way from the Eastern Capital to Chang'an. The checkpoints are all under the control of the Tang army, and if they take the land route, Li Shimin will reach Chang'an before them even if he climbs.
So Li Xian didn't plan to go by land from the beginning, don't forget that he has the strongest sailor in the world!
When Duan Zhixuan ordered the army to block Yan Yunjing's cavalry in layers of formations, Li Xian's cavalry threw out a beautiful large arc and no longer continued to the west but galloped all the way to the north. When Duan Zhixuan found out that Yan Yunjing was riding to the north, it would be a fool's dream to catch up again.
……
……
On the Yanyun giant ship, Li Xian stood in the wind.
There are more than 400 warships under Lai Yuan, and 80 Huanglong Clippers were previously assigned to carry 5,000 elite soldiers transferred from Liyang to Yongji Canal all the way north to meet Ye Huaichong, and now there are more than 300 warships under his command, including 312 Huanglong Clippers, 36 Wuya big ships, and a Yanyun giant ship that is bigger than Yang Guang's dragon boat.
10,000 elite horsemen boarded the warship and really floated.
Li Xian, who was standing on the bow of the boat and looking forward, frowned slightly when he saw something strange in the distance, he took off the clairvoyance and put it in front of him, and then the blurred thing gradually became clear. There seemed to be a town built on the river, and it was a huge fleet of warships blocking the river. Those warships were hung with the military flag of the Tang Dynasty and lined with masts, and it seemed that there were no less than hundreds.
The Great Sui Sailor is invincible in the world, and after Lai Hu'er was killed in Jiangdu Yu Culture, the Great Sui Sailor in Jiangdu was divided into three, some of which were subdued by Du Fuwei, part of which fled to the Eastern Capital and surrendered to Wang Shichong, and Lai Yuan, the son of Lai Hu'er, led a part to take refuge in Yanyunzhai.
Wang Shichong was defeated in the eastern capital, and the sailor he planned to use to escape was blocked in the river by Li Jing and his army, and he couldn't get close to the eastern capital at all, and the sailor general Su Sheng saw that Wang Shichong was also at the end of the road, so he simply surrendered to the Tang army with hundreds of warships. Since Li Shimin wanted to block Li Xian's way to Chang'an, how could he forget that Yanyunzhai had a powerful sailor?
Su Shengcai, the general of the Tang Naval Division, looked at a piece of high sail mast that appeared on the river, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily picked.
Both sides have the Huanglong Clipper, both have the Wuya big ship, and they used to be the sailor warships that the Great Sui was proud of, but now they have to face the situation of fighting in the same room.
Su Sheng knew that it was Lai Yuan who was leading the troops of the Yanyun Army this time, so he was extremely nervous.
The son of the great general came to protect his son, and he had absolute pressure on him. He is a subordinate general of Laihu'er, and his respect for Laihu'er is deep in his bone marrow. But now, he had to personally lead the fleet against the admiral's son. And as long as the fight starts, there is no room for relaxation, either you die or you die.
Li Xian looked at Heng Chen's fleet blocking the way on the river, glanced at Lai Yuan, and then said very seriously: "Linjiang water battle...... Lone is not good at it, today's Yanyun big ship is your flagship, no matter how you fight, Lone wants only the result...... Win! ”
It's been a long time since Lai Yuan has fought a water war, and he has already held his breath without Li Xian saying it.
"Don't worry, my father has taught his ministers many tactical formations, all kinds of which are ever-changing...... Only he didn't teach his ministers how to lose a battle on the water, so he ...... If you want to lose, you can't do it, because you won't. ”
