Chapter 516: Niangzi Pass

Standing on the city wall in the night, Li Xian looked at the starry Turkic camp in the distance and said softly: "It seems that tonight will be peaceful, but Ashina Erich will definitely attack tomorrow morning, the offensive during the day is crazy enough, but the Turks will be ten times crazy in the morning." ”

"How so?"

Li Huining straightened her hair that was blown by the night wind and asked.

Without waiting for Li Xian to answer, she asked again: "Because you rode into the pass with Yan Yunjing, and the strength of the defense has been replenished, so Ashina Erich has to do his best?" ”

"That's only part of the story."

Li Xian glanced at Li Huining apologetically and said: "Before I led the troops into the Weize Pass, I sent someone to spread a message, and Ashina Erich will definitely believe it, because my people brought back a few captives from the grassland, and these captives are now estimated to be crying in Ashina Erifo's big tent, even if the Turks are afraid of the firearms thrown out by the mighty sea yesterday, they are afraid that they will still rush up without fear of death." ”

"It's certainly not good news."

Li Huining sighed lightly.

"It's certainly not good news for us at the moment, but it's not even good news for Ashina Erifor."

"Don't sell it, I can't face hundreds of thousands of crazy wolves early tomorrow, but I don't know why they go crazy."

"My allies have picked the Turkic court."

"Huh?"

Li Huining's eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of incredulity: "Ally? Luo Yi's tiger heavy armor? ”

"Luo Manzi is busy grabbing Dou Jiande's territory, it is not easy for him to transfer 10,000 light cavalry to Luo Shixin to help me slaughter all the Turkic people, how can he let Hu Ben Heavy Armor enter the depths of the grassland without sufficient supplies and preparations? To put it more bluntly, without interests, how could Luo Manzi be willing to send heavy armored cavalry to the Turkic royal court to kill? ”

"It's not Luo Yi, it can't be our Li family, I really can't think of any other allies you have."

"People always have to have a few secrets at the bottom of the box, which cannot be easily and hastily said, and when it comes to saying them, it often means that the secret should be brought into play."

"In addition to the Turks, many tribes in the steppe are my allies."

Li Xian smiled and said, "The enemy of the enemy may be a friend." The Turks have been in power on the steppe for so many years, and now their power is weak, and many tribes are worried about the shame of the past. It's just that they're a mess and need someone to unite them. Individually, these tribes are dwarfs compared to the Turks, and the Turks are giants, but when the number of dwarves is large enough to bite the giants to death, then the dwarves become terrifying. It is not uncommon for ants to bite elephants to death. ”

"You tell me this, does it mean that you don't have confidence in guarding Weize Pass?"

Li Huining asked with a slight frown.

"What do you think?"

Li Xian asked rhetorically.

"The most elite team of the Yanyun army is the elite light cavalry, I always believe that your light cavalry is more powerful than Luo Yi's tiger heavy armor at some times, after all, the limitations of heavy armor are too great, so you are reluctant to use Yanyun elite cavalry as infantry to defend the city, in your understanding, the weight of a reed Ze Pass is far less than your five thousand light cavalry."

Li Huining thought for a while and replied.

Li Xian smiled and shook his head: "Let's correct it first, my light cavalry is not stronger than Luo Yi's Tiger Ben Heavy Armor in some cases, but stronger than the Tiger Ben Heavy Armor most of the time. Luo Yi's armored cavalry was too expensive, and the requirements for war horses and knights were too strict, and he couldn't support his armored heavy cavalry even if he scraped the ground three feet in Zhuo County. And when it comes to flexibility, heavy riding is far worse than light riding, and if tactics are right, the same number of light horses may not be able to defeat heavy horses. Even if you can't win the fight and turn around and run, you can't catch up with the armor heavy horse. ”

"And then I would say that the Reed Pass is indeed not as important as my light horse. So your answer just now is very correct, I am reluctant to use the elite armor light cavalry as infantry to defend the city. ”

"I'm not surprised."

Li Huining nodded and said.

"But ......"

Li Xianfeng changed his words and said: "The hundreds of thousands of wolf riders in the pass are more important, if such a huge force is put back to the grassland, the Turks will be able to extinguish the rebellion in less than three months, which is not what I want." ”

"And what do you want?"

Li Huining asked.

Li Xian looked at her and smiled: "You have obviously guessed, not only you, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, and your father who is far away in Chang'an, I am afraid that after learning the news of the occupation of the Turkic royal court, you will be able to guess what I mean immediately." ”

"Do you really not want to chase the Central Plains?"

Li Huining was puzzled and asked, "Don't you think it's a little dangerous to build such a big nest on the grassland?" The big tree is originally windy, and if you build a big nest on the big tree, a gust of wind may break the nest into pieces. ”

"It's not as windy as the Central Plains."

Li Xian smiled and asked, "If your father figured out the key, what kind of attitude would he have towards me?" ”

Li Huining was stunned, and then sighed: "If what you say is true, I admire you." If what you're saying is false, I'm starting to worry about my father now. ”

"Not necessarily."

Li Xian said seriously: "Because your worries are completely useless, if I do this, your father will be at ease, Luo Yi will be at ease, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, these people will be at ease." ”

"Are you at ease?"

Li Huining looked at Li Xian's eyes and asked seriously.

Li Xian smiled and did not answer a word.

……

……

"Thank you!"

Ji Chunlei gave Li Xian a deep look, he looked at his left shoulder and thanked him solemnly: "His Royal Highness King Yan has good skills, and the end will be grateful!" ”

Li Xian smiled and waved his hand: "I happen to know a little bit about fur, but your wound is too big, even if you apply the medicine I brought, if the action is too big, it will collapse." Try not to use force these days, and recuperate with peace of mind. ”

"The last general only heard that King Yan's martial arts were extraordinary, and he never knew that you were also a holy hand of medicine."

He looked down at the white cloth bandaged on his shoulder, and said with some admiration: "Even the bandaging technique is so different, it looks much better than the bandaging of our Lady Army military doctor." But Your Highness...... Why do you always feel that the knot you tied on my shoulder is a little awkward, is this knot method called a bow? ”

Li Huining looked at the big and beautiful bow on half of Ji Chunlei's shoulder and wanted to laugh, saying that there are not many men who can tie the bow so beautifully.

Li Xian didn't blush at all, he looked at the bow and said seriously: "It's a slipknot like this, which is convenient for changing the dressing." ”

Ji Chunlei's mind was not on this, he leaned in front of Li Xian and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, more than 100,000 wolf riders, how did you kill them with only 5,000 spirit riders?" ”

"With a knife"

Li Xian's answer was concise and to the point.

Ji Chunlei exclaimed: "I have never seen any cavalry in the Central Plains win more with less in the head-to-head confrontation of the Turkic wolf cavalry. ”

"With the morale played, our Central Plains Light Cavalry can finally show off their might in front of the grassland people."

Li Huining glared at him and said, "You are suspected of rebellion." ”

Ji Chunlei's face flushed, and he smiled wryly: "How come, miss, you don't know me yet, I will never leave the women's army, there are not many teams in this world that can not only fight and kill the enemy, but also see a lot of water spirit girls every day." It's not too much, it's just unique. ”

He glanced at the female soldiers who were on guard with knives not far away, and said with a smile: "I don't know if I'm not injured, it's really not good for men to serve people, my own soldiers can fight and kill, and they will never make a mistake, but don't mention expecting them to serve me to wash my feet and face or something." Clumsy ......"

"Stop!"

Li Huining glared at him and said, "Don't expect me to send a female soldier to you." ”

"When I didn't say it!"

Ji Chunlei smiled and said to Li Huining: "Miss, that ...... Can you avoid it, I have something to discuss with His Royal Highness King Yan, this is something that can only be said between men, and it belongs to ...... It's a topic that you should never say in front of a woman. You can give me a cup of tea, and I'll ask King Yan some questions. ”

"Boom!"

Li Huining blushed and took a sip, then turned around and walked into the distance.

"Say, what's so hard to say?"

Li Xian asked with a smile.

Seeing Li Huining go to inspect the city tower, the smile on Ji Chunlei's face suddenly put away, looked at Li Xian with a solemn expression, and then knelt down on one knee with a plop: "His Royal Highness King Yan, I am a rough person who will not beat around the bush when I speak, I will say it directly, you can take the team to support our women's army day and night, I miss your kindness in my heart." But I also know that Wei Zeguan is afraid that he will not be able to hold it. If...... If the city is broken, I implore you to protect my young lady to break out. As long as the young lady is still there, the women's army is the women's army, it is the miss's, and no one's is anyone! ”

Li Xian stretched out his hand to help Ji Chunlei up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the Reed Ze Pass will not be broken." ”

"But ......"

Ji Chunlei opened his mouth, but was stopped by General Li Xian's words: "No, but." ”

He looked out of the city with his hands and said firmly: "Before I don't enter Weize Pass, Weize Pass is in danger, but since I have come in, then Weize Pass is at most in danger." Within two days, the reinforcements of the prince of Tang will arrive. ”

"Why?"

Ji Chunlei asked puzzled.

"No reason, Li Jiancheng didn't dare to take this risk."

He wasn't talking, and Ji Chunlei didn't want to ask again. The two of them were silent for a while, until Li Huining walked over slowly and spoke, breaking the silence.

"Anzhi, how many powerful firearms do you still have?"

Li Huining asked as she walked: "You are not allowed to hide your smuggling, you can use as much as you want." ”

"I'm not hiding!"

Li Xian said seriously: "You can use as much as you want." ”

"What do you mean......"

Li Huining asked with a dejected face, "Only that one?" ”

"Only that one!"

Li Xian replied firmly.

"Then I really can't think of how to retreat from the enemy."

Li Huining said disappointedly.

Li Xian smiled and said, "Others may not think of it, but you must be able to think of it." ”

Li Huining was stunned, and then asked in shock: "You know? ”

Li Xian shook his head, noncommittal.

Li Huining's face changed, and then he said with relief: "With me, the eldest brother may be late for reinforcements, but since you have also arrived, how can he not step up the deployment of men and horses to support Wei Ze Pass?" ”

Dead one, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are already difficult to explain in front of Li Yuan, if two die......

"Wei Zeguan's name is not good!"

Li Xian diverted the topic and said: "It's too awkward, it's better to change it." ”

"King Yan changed the name of Wei Zeguan, or when he was defending against the Turks, it is also a good story to say that it will be passed down to future generations, has Your Highness ever thought about changing the name?"

Ji Chunlei asked.

"Lady off!"

Li Xian waved his hand, and his tone was solemn.

At this moment, a whining horn sounded in the distance, tearing through the last darkness before dawn, and countless wolf knights rushed to the pass with ladders, like blackened ants moving.

"It's coming!"

Li Huining clenched her fists and said softly.

"Come on"

Li Xian nodded, his face indifferent.
