Chapter 314: Hunt and Kill

Li Shanbin was panicked like a lost dog, anxious like a fish that slipped through the net, only led more than 100 personal soldiers, took the road, abandoned Qixia Pass, and went straight from Nantou, behind him, there were still thousands of defenders in the pass, lost their command, and made a mess, some of them lifted their spirits and threw themselves into the defense battle, some abandoned their swords and guns, took off their military uniforms, and stood against the wall, and even more took the opportunity to make trouble, ran into the homes of the people in the city, burned, killed and looted, and wantonly did evil. Qixia Pass, which has been peaceful for a long time, fell into a catastrophe, and the cries shook the sky everywhere.

Li Feng, who entered the city, had no time to take care of this, and after leading the cavalry into the city, he immediately divided the troops in accordance with the strategy drawn up in advance, controlled all the key points in the city, took over the city defense, occupied the yamen, warehouses, and controlled the main roads, while Li Feng led the main force to the barracks in the city and directly blocked a large number of soldiers in the barracks. Although the camp gate was closed, the leaderless Qixia Pass soldiers looked at the cavalry gathering more and more outside the camp in horror, not knowing what to do. Several leading lieutenants gathered together and formed a temporary command structure to discuss how to face the immediate crisis, which was actually nothing more than two paths, surrender or die in battle. It is more hopeful to expect this thin camp gate and wooden fence to block the wolf-like Dingzhou cavalry, than to expect the sow to go up the tree.

Li Feng had more than 2,000 mobile troops available at this time, half of the troops were used to control the city defense and various important institutions, and hundreds of cavalry followed Wang Qi of the Statistical Survey Department to chase Li Shanbin who escaped, and at this time, in the military camp opposite him, there were still more than 2,000 Qixia Pass defenders, if these soldiers were brave enough to fight, for a while, Li Feng was really not sure to take them.

In fact, this is Li Feng's overestimation of the Qixia Pass defenders, and also underestimated the combat power of his Yizhou battalion cavalry, one of the main reasons for this is that Li Feng has seen a lot of Dingzhou infantry in Dingzhou, how to deal with the barbarian iron cavalry with ease, the cavalry to deal with the infantry in dense formation, there are not many ways, especially when the infantry is better equipped, and in the city breaking battle just now, Li Feng found that the armor of the Qixia Pass infantry is really not bad. Even if the Qixia Pass garrison is a cut worse than the Dingzhou army, his cavalry is not as fierce as the barbarians!

Although Li Feng, who grew up in the greenhouse, has grown up a lot in the past few years, he always thinks more about objective situations such as difficulties when encountering problems, while Li Qing, who has been weathered for a long time, thinks more about how much benefit he can get, if the benefit is big enough, then it is worth paying a certain sacrifice.

Li Feng didn't think about it for long, and the matter was resolved unexpectedly, because the defenders of Qixia Pass decided to surrender. A lieutenant named Yueqing Zhenwu came to see Li Feng on behalf of the soldiers in the battalion and made clear their intentions.

"General Lee!" By reporting to each other's homes, Yueqing already knew that the Dingzhou cavalry general in front of him was actually the younger brother of Li Qing, the marshal of Dingzhou. "General Li, the detention of grain and grass in Dingzhou is all the idea of my family General Li, we do not know, and Dingzhou and I have always been well water does not violate the river water, we have always admired the Dingzhou army that fought bloodily on the border and defended the country, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, we and the state army do not want to meet with you, therefore, we decided to stop resisting, so as not to bloodshed senselessly on both sides, in order to show our sincerity, we are willing to lay down our arms and obey the supervision of your army, Until the high-level leaders of Dingzhou and Bingzhou made a decision on this matter, we had only one demand, that is, we asked your army to guarantee the safety of our soldiers, respect the dignity of our non-commissioned officers, and not to plunder the property of our soldiers. ”

Yueqing's words were extremely beautiful, although it was a surrender, but when he said it in his mouth, it was extremely high-sounding, and the righteousness was extremely awe-inspiring, and he looked selfless and selfless, thinking about both families.

Li Feng wanted to laugh a little, and said in his heart that this Yueqing is also a character, but it is good that things can be solved like this, the task of the Yizhou battalion is only to capture Qixia Pass, not to kill how many soldiers in Qixia Pass, they can lay down their weapons, that is the best, as for the follow-up things, it is not something he can manage, in a few days, Feng Guo will lead the Panshi Battalion to take over Qixia Pass, and these troublesome things will be handed over to him.

Turning over and dismounting, Li Feng hugged his fists and said: "Captain Le understands the righteousness, Li Feng feels inexplicable, Li Shanbin inexplicably detains my Dingzhou materials, intending to make our army defeated by the barbarians on the grassland, this person must be a barbarian, our army is also helpless to attack Qixia Pass, the army can not be said to be without food, presumably Captain Le also knows, now Li Shanbin has detained hundreds of thousands of catties of food from our army for no reason, my marshal is very angry, this move has greatly affected our army's war against the barbarians, so I have to do a thunderous move, for your army, Our army really has no malicious intent. Captain Le said a few things, and I, Li Feng, took it all in. But there is one point, your soldiers who are still resisting our army at Qixia Pass are not guaranteed. ”

Yueqing bowed deeply, "Thank you, General Li." I then went back to the camp to convey General Lee's goodwill to the soldiers, and then I could ask General Lee to join the camp and take over. ”

"Captain Le, please!" Li Feng smiled and stretched out his hand.

Half an hour later, the defenders in the barracks laid down their weapons and stood in rows, watching the Dingzhou cavalry enter the camp.

After Qixia Pass was broken, Li Shanbin fled in a hurry, Li Feng couldn't care to chase him, but there was one person who was staring at him, this person was Wang Qi of the Operations Department of the Statistics and Survey Department, a battle at the city gate, Wang Qi's more than 100 special service members died under Li Shanbin and his own soldiers as many as dozens of people, each death of a team member made Wang Qi feel distressed, these people are the elite of the Action Department, with the strong support of Director Qingfeng, only more than 200 people have been trained in recent years, and most of this battle has gone, How not to make Wang Qi angry, I don't know how to explain to Director Qingfeng when I go back, if I don't take Li Shanbin, how can Wang Qi be willing? Seeing that Li Shanbin had slipped away, Wang Qi hurriedly asked Li Feng for a winged 500 hussars, and then chased Li Shanbin away, anyway, the overall situation of Qixia Pass had been decided, and there was nothing to do with him.

Li Feng knew that Wang Qi was one of the principals of this operation, and when he saw that he was anxious to count the cavalry on him, he thought that Wang Qi still had some important tasks, and he did not think about it, and immediately sent 500 cavalry to him. It wasn't until I saw Zhong Jing that I knew that something was going on, and I couldn't help but fall into it, this is not Dingzhou, but Bingzhou, if the army from other parts of Bingzhou heard the news and came to help, my five hundred cavalry would have to fight dogs. But Wang Qi had already gone far away, and Li Feng had nothing to do, so he could only secretly ask the gods and Buddhas to bless Wang Qi to catch up with Li Shanbin quickly and capture him back.

Li Shanbin didn't escape far, he and the war horses under the crotch of his own soldiers really can't be compared with the war horses of the Yizhou battalion in Dingzhou, these war horses are all from the good horses plundered by Li Qing after defeating the grassland tribe, the endurance is extremely long, Li Shanbin only escaped for less than an hour, and the pursuers behind him chased up.

Wang Qi hated Li Shanbin very much, as soon as he entered the range of a bow, he immediately drew the bow and shot arrows, and the cavalry of the Yizhou battalion behind him also pulled out arrows and shot, this kind of running and archery technique, Li Shanbin's personal soldiers were not bad, but one was to shoot back on the horse, and the other was to shoot arrows with the trend. What made Li Shanbin even more uncomfortable was that after Qixia Pass, there was no place to hide.

After another hour, Li Shanbin and his personal soldiers were already foaming at the mouth of the war horse under the crotch, and they couldn't do it when they saw it, Wang Qi chased closer and closer, and finally surrounded Li Shanbin.

Li Shanbin's face was as gray as he could, he couldn't imagine that he would die here today, as soon as the war horse under his crotch stopped, he immediately died, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground, if he wasn't strong behind him, he would have fallen off the horse this time.

Holding a spear in his hand, Li Shanbin and his personal soldiers formed a circle, back to back, but there was no intention of surrendering, Li Shanbin was aware of his own family affairs, and he detained Dingzhou grain, and he had offended Li Qing to death, even if he surrendered, there would be no good end, it was better to die in battle, and he could be a soldier's honor. Fortunately, his wife and children have gone to the south with the Zhongzi period, and over the years, the family property he has accumulated is enough for them to worry about food and clothing.

"General, what should I do?" One of the guards was nervous and his hands were a little trembling, they only had dozens of people left, while the opponent had hundreds, and all of them were cavalry, there was no suspense in this battle at all, as long as the opponent charged, they would all play the game.

"You can surrender!" Li Shanbin said: "But I will never be humiliated, I can only die in battle." Those who are willing to leave put down their knives and guns and leave on their own, I don't think the other party will be embarrassed to put down your knives and guns. ”

The soldiers were silent for a while, but none of them left the circle, and Li Shanbin's eyes showed a look of relief, "Brothers, thank you, I hurt you." ”

"I wish to live and die with the general!" The pro-soldiers shouted.

Seeing these soldiers on the verge of desperation, the cavalry of the Yizhou battalion showed admiration in their eyes, knowing that they would die without fear of death, these enemies were also worthy of respect.

With a whoosh, Wang Qi shot an arrow, and the sharp arrow was inserted at the foot of Li Shanbin's body, "Li Pifu, I knew that I would say today, I regret not being at the beginning, you killed so many good brothers of mine, now think about how grandpa will kill you, right?" ”

Li Shanbin was furious, "If you want to fight, you will fight, why insult people, Li Mou's dignified manly husband, how can you be so insulted!" ”

"Whew!" Wang Qi spat angrily, "Raised by a son of a bitch, you are still a dignified manly husband, Lao Tzu fought to death on the grassland, and the barbarians were killed like a river of blood, you stumbled in the back and stabbed a knife, are you still a fucking Great Chu person?" People like you are also called big husbands, and men are really ashamed to death under the sky. ”

Li Shanbin couldn't help but stop, and waved his spear, "Why bother talking, come on, Li is waiting for you!" ”

Wang Qi sneered, raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and ordered loudly, "Brothers, draw the bow, put on the arrow, shoot these dogs and things at the hedgehog, and avenge the death of our brothers who died." ”

Hundreds of longbows were raised at the same time, and their arrows were wound and aimed at the soldiers in a circle in the center.

Li Shanbin smiled miserably, "Brothers, I am ashamed of you, I will still be brothers with you in the next life!" ”
