"Lao Tzu grass him Li Siyuan fuck!" Yuan Xingqin was greatly enraged, and the long knife in his hand slashed over a scarecrow.

"General, what do we do now?" A soldier asked.

But as soon as these words came out, they angered Yuan Xingqin, "What are you doing? You're full of feces, huh? And asked me what I was doing, down the mountain! Paralyzing! I want to make Li Siyuan regret it today! ”

"Yes!" No one dared to touch Yuan Xingqin's moldy head anymore, and after the two thousand cavalry hurriedly descended the mountain, they quickly turned over and got on their horses. But in about a quarter of an hour, they had already arrived at Yanmen City. Although there are also two words of Yanmen, Yanmen City does not have the majesty of Yanmen Pass, but the rammed earth wall of three zhang high, which is the mainstream of the ancient Chinese city wall, and the basic city is this kind of wall.

However, this kind of wall also has a characteristic, the higher the more powerful, and he relies on the thickness to get the defense. Because the quality of such walls is not very good, and it is not hard. In some places, even with the claws of the hand, five finger prints can be pulled.

Although Yuan Xingqin was angry, he did not attack stupidly. After taking a closer look at Yanmen City, Yuan Xingqin pulled the reins of the horse and said, "Go around the city!" ”

The adjutant general couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "General, why don't you go into the city?" ”

"Don't worry about Yanmen City, whether there are people in it or not, it's not what we should manage, what we need to do is to drag Li Siyuan's hind legs. If his army is in the city, so much the better, and we will hold him back. If not, we'll catch up. And...... I see that this Yanmen City is deserted, and there is no panic at all about the coming war. I'm afraid there's an ambush inside. Yuan Xingqin replied in a deep voice.

"The general is wise!" The lieutenant immediately sent a sycophant to him.

Yuan Xingqin glanced at the deputy general coldly, and said, "If you have time to talk about this nonsense, it is better to speed up the march and catch up with Li Siyuan." ”

"Yes!" The adjutant general couldn't help but lower his face, and his face was very ugly.

…… The Hedong Army ......, "General, Yuan Xingqin has not entered Yanmen City, and now the ambushed crossbowmen in the city are asking for instructions, what should I do?" A soldier rushed to Li Siyuan's side, lowered his voice, and asked.

Li Siyuan was obviously stunned when he heard this, and his thick sword eyebrows couldn't help but twist into a ball. muttered: "Yuan Xingqin, I didn't expect him to be so simple. I don't know if it didn't provoke him, or if he controlled his anger, if it was the latter, I'm afraid this person would have to pay attention in the future. But since he goes around the city, let him go around! Gather 300 crossbowmen and follow the future. ”

"Yes!" The soldier replied.

"That's right! Hun Gong'er. Li Siyuan looked behind him and asked, "How are the retreats of the various departments?" ”

"General, I'm afraid we will have to hold the enemy back for at least three hours before we can complete the retreat. After all, the other side is full cavalry, and we have infantry and cavalry. Unless you give up the cavalry, General, we can't outrun each other at all. Hun Gong'er's cheeks were full of flesh, and a wry smile appeared that was more ugly than crying, and said.

"That's it! For three hours, Ben Jiang didn't know if he could hold it off, and I hope that this guy Yuan Xingqin won't be too smart. I also hope that Li Cunhuan's reaction power is not too fast! Ay! Sure enough, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Now we can only look at the sky! ”

…… Taiyuan Mansion Jin Wangfu ...... "Father! Father! Oops! Li Sizhao staggered in slightly.

"What's going on! Panicked! Li Keyong frowned slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and scolded dissatisfiedly.

"Father! The Ulzhou assassin led the Ulzhou soldiers and horses and the counties of Ulzhou to surrender Li Cunhuan! Now Li Cunhuan has crossed the Taixi Mountain and drove straight to Dongcheng Pass! Li Sizhao said with a frightened face.

"What!" Li Ke stood up with Huo Ran and flipped over the low table in front of him, and the slightly cloudy wine flowed on the ground, unaware.

Li Sizhao repeated what he had just said with a panicked face, but Li Keyong didn't know if he had listened or not, anyway, Li Ke paced quickly with his bare feet, looking quite panicked, and muttered: "This!" How is this good! How is this good! ”

"Father, it's useless to be frightened at this time, you should quickly mobilize your troops and horses! Now it seems that the only way to abandon Xinzhou, send a large army to strengthen the defense of Chitang Pass and Shiling Guan, and hold the gate of Taiyuan is the best policy. Li Cunqiao heard this, although he was shocked, he still calmly grasped the key to the problem.

"What's wrong? Couldn't he hold Daizhou? Although Li Keyong had a hunch that Li Siyuan would not be able to stop Li Cunhuan, he was still lucky for Li Siyuan.

"I can't hold it!" Li Cunmiao shook his head and sighed: "Big brother, he only has 20,000 troops, and Li Cunhuan sent 300,000 troops this time, even if he makes a big discount, I'm afraid there will be at least 100,000 people." After Lu Long arrived in the hands of Li Cunhuan, he was famous all over the world for his sharp armaments and strict formations. I'm afraid I can't hold it, and it's only a matter of time before I fall. ”

"This ......," Li Ke stomped his foot with an unwilling face, "alas! Coming, beating the drum and gathering the generals, now it seems that the only way to shrink the force is to shrink the troops. ”

Li Sizhao hesitated, and then suggested: "Father, the child has a plan, but I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"If there is anything that should not be said at this time, if you have a good plan, you will say it!" Li Ke said with a slight scolding.

"Yes!" Li Sizhao knew that Li Keyong was short-tempered, and there was nothing special, so he admitted his mistake very calmly. After pondering for a moment, he organized his language and spoke: "My father has a close relationship with the nine chieftains and elders of the Tatars, and it was said that the imperial court crusaded against my father in the past. When his father was defeated, he was accepted by the nine chiefs and elders. He also came to Emperor Xizong to appease his father, and his father was even allowed to recruit tens of thousands of cavalry to go south to kill thieves. Why didn't you lead the Tatar army against Li Cunhuan's Youzhou Iron Cavalry this time? ”

"This ......," Li Ke hesitated for some reason.

"Father, don't do it!" When Li Cunqiao heard this, he was in a hurry. An arrow walked to Li Keyong's side, grabbed Li Keyong's sleeve, and said urgently. "Father! Barbarians describe wild beasts, burning and looting everywhere they go. In the past, during the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial court led the Uighur cavalry to quell the rebellion, and Chang'an Mansion, which had more than 500,000 households and nearly 3 million mouths, became a place where there were no people for thousands of miles and no roosters for hundreds of miles. More than 100 years have passed, and by the time of Emperor Zhaozong, the population had only recovered to seven or eight hundred thousand! The Tatar soldiers are just drinking to quench their thirst! ”

Li Ke used to hear the words, showing a resolute look, and just wanted to say something. On the other hand, Kang Junli, who had been drinking and playing with Li Ke before, opened his mouth and said. "Father! Listen to the child, and then speak. ”

"Junli, do you have any other opinions?" For Kang Junli's opinion, Li Keyong attaches more importance to it. Although in terms of blood, Li Cunqiao is his biological son, and Kang Jun is not a righteous son. But Kang Junli is his official military advisor, and in military affairs, he naturally attaches more importance to Kang Junli's opinions.

"So the child will speak out!" Kang Junli glanced at Li Cunmiao and showed an apologetic look. opened his mouth and said: "I agree with the third brother's words. Attracting Tatar soldiers and horses into the east of the river is indeed quite a situation of drinking water to quench thirst. But father, the child asked, how many soldiers and horses are there in Taiyuan Mansion now? ”

"Thirty thousand!" A flash of melancholy flashed in Rick's eyes and he spoke.

"30,000 soldiers and horses, even if the soldiers and horses are mobilized from neighboring states and counties, I dare to conclude that at most, it will only be 50,000 soldiers and horses!" Speaking of this, Kang Junli couldn't help but hesitate, secretly glanced at Li Keyong, and saw that Li Keyong didn't mean to be annoyed and angry, so he sighed and said, "The reason, I think you also understand." Last year, Xingzhou ...... Ay! Do not say. With the current 50,000 soldiers and horses, it is difficult to hold Taiyuan Mansion. In this case, it is best to attract Tatar soldiers and horses. And we can not let the Tatars enter Taiyuan Mansion, and let the Tatar soldiers and horses and Li Cunhuan's soldiers and horses fight in Xinzhou. However, in order to appease the Tatars, my father may also add some treasures to the land west of the river west of the Great Wall. ”

Hearing this condition, Li Keyong couldn't help but tremble a little, and the land west of the river is now the land of Baotou, Hohhot and the eastern part of the Hetao. These places are fertile natural pastures, providing nearly 1,000 war horses and thousands of horses, donkeys and mules to Hedong every year. Horses and donkeys and mules are just that, although they are important, Hedong itself also has a certain amount of self-production. But war horses are different, in this era, the most lacking is war horses, iron tools, and food. And the war horse is the foundation of Hedong's life.

Li Ke used more than 100,000 troops, how could he be able to fight, Zhu Wen was in a hurry for a while. By virtue of what. It is with this elite cavalry. The most famous cavalry in the world are Longyou, Hetao, Mobei, Anxi, and Liaodong. And now part of Longyou, Mobei, Anxi, and Hetao has fallen into the hands of the barbarians. And the only thing Li Keyong has in his hands is a part of the Hetao, if even this place is lost. In the future, let alone suppress his long-cherished enemy Zhu Wen, I'm afraid Li Cunhuan won't be able to defeat him.

"Father, what the child can say is that he will stay in the green mountains and not worry about running out of firewood!" Kang Junli lowered his head and said quietly.

"Whew!" Li Ke let out a long breath of turbid air and muttered, "Now, that's the only way, hey! ……”

Li Cunmiao, who was originally opposed, also sighed faintly and did not advise Li Keyong again. And Li Sizhao and Kang Junli, who let Li Keyong adopt his opinion, were not so happy, and their faces were sad. There is not a trace of joy on his face, and now, I am afraid that everyone will have personal grievances, and in the case of a great disaster, few people will have a fight in the same room.

…… Daizhou Niujiao said...... "Li Siyuan! Although it was the first time he saw the other party, Yuan Xingqin still recognized Li Siyuan, that kind of majestic momentum. In Daizhou, Li Siyuan is the only one.

"Yuan Xingqin!?" Li Siyuan looked at the other party and muttered with a little doubt.

"General, do you want to charge?" The adjutant general hesitated, looked at Li Siyuan and said.

Yuan Xingqin's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, looking at the three hundred soldiers beside Li Siyuan. Carrying the crossbow on their backs, they are obviously a crossbowmen. But three hundred crossbowmen, against three thousand light cavalry?

"You take five hundred men with shields, and charge!" Yuan Xingqin pondered for a moment and spoke.

When the adjutant general heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he said, "Okay! ”

In his opinion, this is the first achievement! Li Siyuan, don't look at the three hundred strong crossbowmen who are very powerful, as long as the light cavalry is close. Not to mention taking a crossbow, I'm afraid it's useless to take the legendary Zhuge even a crossbow. What's more, there is a plain around, what else can Li Siyuan ambush?

Soon the lieutenant ordered five hundred light cavalry and charged with him. Five hundred light cavalry, each holding a round glare in one hand and a sharp cavalry standard spear in the other.

"Rush!" A low roar roared from the adjutant general's mouth, and five hundred cavalry charged like waves, their sharp spears pointing straight ahead. Make it as if every crossbowman would plunge a spear into his chest or throat in the next moment.

"Put!" With a low roar, three hundred crossbow arrows shot out, and the sound of breaking through the air was like a hurricane raging in the world.

"Be careful! The crossbow bolts are coming! The lieutenant shouted an alarm and immediately fell on his horse's back, the galloping horse as his shield. Compared with people, the vitality of war horses is stronger, and they are often hit by more than a dozen arrows, but they can still charge.

"Ahh

"Poof!"

The screams, the sound of arrows entering the flesh, and the neighing of war horses, came and went, but no one was excited, and they calmly launched a charge, or calmly stepped on the crossbow with their feet and put on the bowstring.

Suddenly, the deputy general felt the figure of the war horse under his crotch, and then felt that the whole person was flying, but before he could react, the whole person had fallen to the ground, and he was dizzy.

On the contrary, Yuan Xingqin, who was observing the battle situation from behind, saw clearly that the entire light cavalry that was charging in waves suddenly continued to stumble.

"It's a trap! Quick, blow the horn and retreat! Divided into two thousand cavalry, the two wings launched a charge. When Yuan Xingqin saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly ordered.

But at this time, a cavalryman quickly came to Yuan Xingqin's side and reported in a panic: "General, it's terrible! No less than two thousand infantry troops appeared in the rear, most of them spearmen, who had already lined up in formation behind and pressed up! ”

"What's going on? How could Li Siyuan ambush soldiers and horses behind his back? Didn't I send someone to scout along the road? What are those catchers going to do! When Yuan Xingqin heard this, he was angry and shocked, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed for a while.

…… The Hedong Army ......, "General, the enemy is scratching, I'm afraid that the general's ambush soldiers and horses have worked!" An adjutant general came over, half admiring, half patting and saying.

When Li Siyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and stroked the beard on his chin with his right hand. smiled: "For the other party, they think they are careful of my ambush." But he didn't know that I could still ambush the soldiers and horses on the other side of the river, and hide the boat in the reeds. Suddenly appearing behind what they thought was the safest, I'll see how Yuan Xingqin copes! Order the ambush soldiers and horses to come out! ”

"Order!" When the adjutant general heard this, he was also very happy, if Li Siyuan did a good job, he could completely annihilate this cavalry. Although the number is small, it has managed to win back some of the morale of the army.

…… Lu Longjun ...... "General! What to do now! Hurry up and figure out how to get out! Seeing that Yuan Xingqin was stunned, a commander on the side couldn't help but ask. Although he did this, he obviously disrespected his boss, but when is it now, if Yuan Xingqin no longer gives orders, I am afraid that they will really become fish and meat on Li Siyuan's chopping board.

Yuan Xingqin gritted his teeth and said, "Rush! If you capture and kill Li Siyuan, you can disrupt the morale of the Hedong Army and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop! ”

"Oops! Look, general! A soldier suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed, one forward.

I saw ten big ships appear, and quickly walked down from the boats with spears in hand, and looked at the size of those ships, each of which could carry about eighty soldiers. Ten ships is eight hundred men, and they are all armed with spears, obviously trying to take advantage of the narrow terrain to squeeze the cavalry together. A cavalryman who has lost his speed is no less than a toothless tiger.

"Damn! Li Siyuan, this guy has calculated everything! Yuan Xingqin was even more furious, his face suddenly turned red, a mouthful of blood spit out of his mouth, and he lay on the horse's back.

"General!"

"General!"

The people around couldn't help but be even more flustered, and now even Yuan Xingqin was attacked by Li Siyuan's anger and vomited blood.

"I didn't ...... No...... Thing! Suddenly, Yuan Xingqin, who was lying on horseback, stretched out a hand, stopped the generals and soldiers who were about to come, straightened his waist, raised his hand, and wiped the wisp of blood left at the corner of his mouth.

"He ordered all the horsemen to dismount, to use their horses as walls, and to resist with bows and arrows. I'm sure Your Highness's soldiers and horses will be here soon! Yuan Xingqin said categorically.

His words and tone greatly boosted morale. Everyone thought to themselves, there is nothing wrong! Behind him is an army of 300,000 of His Highness! Are you still afraid of these clowns?

(Note: At the beginning, the soldiers below did not know the actual number of soldiers and horses, and the actual number of soldiers and horses in general was only known to senior generals, at least mid-level generals.) They still believe Li Cunhuan's deception, thinking that they really have an army of 300,000. Soon, the light cavalry of the Lu Long Army built a three-story circular fortress with war horses as walls, Yuan Xingqin as the center, and war horses as walls.

…… Hedong Military ...... Li Siyuan looked at Lu Longjun in some surprise, frowned, and muttered: "I didn't expect Yuan Xingqin to be dying, if it was a little troublesome!" If Li Cunhuan's follow-up soldiers and horses rush over, I'm afraid it will fall short! ”

The lieutenant general beside Li Siyuan was obviously a little flustered, gritted his teeth, and said, "General, ordinary people order to speed up and attack!" Otherwise, Li Cunhuan's soldiers and horses are coming! ”

"Nope! The infantry relied on battle formations, and as soon as they were fast, the battle formations would loosen, giving the enemy a chance to take advantage of them! And Ben still doesn't believe it! Li Cunhuan's soldiers and horses are faster than my attack! Li Siyuan's voice was loud, and it also greatly encouraged the determination of the deputy general.

The adjutant general took the initiative to ask: "General! I personally went to the front to direct the battle! ”

"That's so good, I'm sorry for you! After this battle, you will be remembered for your first achievement! Li Siyuan nodded and encouraged.

"In this way, the last general will thank the general for promotion!" The adjutant general was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted Li Siyuan.

"No, you deserve it!" Li Siyuan said with a smile, he knew that now was the time to stir people's hearts.
