Chapter 390: The First Battle
"It has to be." Li Xin said with a smile: "In the end, the strength of the Guan Long family is too strong, if I don't have a little self-protection power, I will be calculated by them." β
"Okay, tomorrow I will let Yu'er order you to canonize you as the king of Tang." Wei Fu'er felt as if her whole body and mind were flying, looked at Li Xin and said, "You have me now, I hope you can spare Yu'er's life in the future." Yu'er lost his father when he was a child, and although he was the acting king, he didn't actually learn about court struggles or intrigues. β
"Don't worry, as long as he has no other ideas, I will definitely spare his life and let him enjoy glory and wealth." Li Xin said without hesitation. This is not only a promise, but also a self-confidence in his own strength, in Li Xin I, Yang Yu definitely can't make waves.
"That's good." Wei Fu'er glanced at Li Xin seriously, saw Li Xin's face was calm, his eyes were firm, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and then he was shy, got up from the bed, held back his shyness, and couldn't help but whisper: "It's not too early, I should go back." β
"Okay." Li Xin did not send each other, but watched Wei Fuer leave the Chinese army's tent, but he leaned on the marching couch, thinking about the meaning of Wei Fu'er's coming, not only because Wei Fu'er and Yang Yun, the acting king, needed an ally, but more importantly, I am afraid that the situation in the city of Daxing in Beijing has reached the most dangerous time, Wei Fu'er used to have a Wei Xuan by his side to rely on, and now Wei Xuan is afraid that he has also betrayed Wei Fu'er, in this case, Wei Fu'er will feed the tiger with his body and needs Li Xin's protection.
"Someone, go and invite Mr. Hao and the general to come." Li Xin got up violently, wearing a big coat on his body, and said loudly to the soldiers outside.
"Generalissimo." After half a ring, I saw Li Jing and Hao Ying coming together, Li Xin made a pot of warm wine boil, and said to the two: "Sit down!" Let the two of you come so late. I wanted to hear the opinions of the two of them, and the crown princess came just now. β
Li Jing and Hao Ying glanced at each other, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces, the ambiguous smell in the big tent, the two of them could still smell it faintly, and they also knew some of Li Xin's personal hobbies, but after the smile, the two were more excited.
"Guogong, it seems that the imperial court can't support it, Guogong. This is a good opportunity, and the prince must not let go of such an opportunity, as long as the order of the acting king arrives, he will immediately enter the palace. Hao Ying said loudly with an excited expression. Li Xin can create a foundation for all generations, and he Hao Ying can also have the skill of following the dragon.
"Generalissimo, my subordinates think that we can't take it lightly at this moment, the crown princess is here, not just because she got rid of us, she has nothing to rely on. But more importantly, the situation in the court has reached a dangerous point, even Wei Xuan, Yin Shishi and others are either not trusted by the acting king, or they can no longer control the overall situation. The last general thought that what the generalissimo had to do now was to closely monitor Li Yuan's soldiers and horses. Li Yuan's soldiers and horses could not be allowed to enter Daxing City first. Li Jing also said: "The generalissimo can put his soldiers and horses into the city gate for another twenty miles, and set up a camp ten miles away from the city gate, and once there is any change in the city, the generalissimo will immediately wave his army into the city of Daxing." β
"Good. That's it. Li Xin nodded, looked at Li Jing and said, "I want to ask the general to have a fight with Li Yuan tomorrow, and it is best to beat him up." What does the general think? β
"How many soldiers and horses is the generalissimo ready to give." Li Jing knew that Li Xin wanted to deter Li Yuan a little, and more importantly, he called the ministers of civil and military affairs in the city, so as not to let Li Xin enter Daxing City in the future and be bullied by these Guanlong families.
"Sixty thousand." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "I led the army to press the general, what does the general think?" β
"The Generalissimo will not be disappointed." Li Jing said without thinking about it.
"The acting king promised me that he would canonize me as the king of Tang, and then the general would be a hussar general." Li Xin said with a smile.
"Tang Wang?" Hao Yuan's face also changed, and finally shook his head and didn't speak, obviously he thought the same as Wei Fu'er, Li Xin This is pure disgusting Li Yuan.
"Haha, I just want Li Yuan to vomit blood angrily." Li Xin laughed, and after discussing tomorrow's combat policy with Li Jing, Hao Ying and others, he let the two out.
The next day, the drums under Daxing City shook the sky, and a team of soldiers roared out, killing Li Yuan's army, waving flags, shaking the entire Daxing City, not only Li Yuan's army stationed in Kaiyuan Gate had already been alarmed, that is, the dignitaries and nobles in the city stood on the city wall, watching the battle that decided the ownership of Guanzhong, and the acting king Yang Yu and the crown princess Wei Fu'er in the palace also came to the top of the city under the escort of the Yin Shishi, watching the battle. At this time, whether it is a staunch royalist like the Yin World Master, or a suspicious person like Dugu Huaien! are all attracted by the battle in front of them.
Li Jing set up a formation one mile away from Li Yuan's camp, still using a six-flower array, but this time it was different from the last time that Li Xin's six petals used six thousand people each, but in the middle was a large army, and Da Xuan stood in the middle, arranged in a circle. Like flower petals, Bing Feng was facing Li Yuan's camp.
"Father-in-law, do you dare to fight?" Li Xin rode the jade lion of the night and galloped forward, running back and forth on the position.
"If you don't dare to fight, you will dismount and surrender, and the son-in-law will definitely intercede with the acting king for the sake of Sanniang and Siniang, and spare his father-in-law's life." Li Xin looked at Li Yuan in the distance, laughed loudly, turned around again and left, and quickly disappeared into the big array.
"Damn." Li Yuan looked at the formation in the distance, but he was helpless, he knew that if he didn't fight at this moment, he would definitely be underestimated by the Guan Long family on the city wall, but if it was a victory, he was not sure, he was already ready, ready to attack Daxing City tonight, so as to resist Li Xin's attack with Daxing City. I didn't expect Li Xin to attack himself at this time.
"Father, this formation should be modeled after the eight formations made by Zhuge Wuhou, but the Xuan Miao Cheng dΓΉ in it is far above the eight formations, and it may be very difficult to destroy them." Li Shimin saw it clearly in the arrow tower, frowned, and said to Li Yuan.
"Since this is the case, let's not go to war, wait until the evening, we will quickly enter Daxing City, the overall situation has been decided, and Li Xin is helpless." After Pei Lin heard this, he suddenly didn't want to attack.
"Those Guanlong families are really watching us, if we don't go out, we will let these families look down on us, that is, our soldiers will not have the courage to face Li Xin's army in the future, and this battle must be fought." Li Jiancheng shook his head on the side and said: "It's just how to fight, but you have to pay attention, father, it's better to gather a large army to attack one of them, no matter what, defeat one of them, and then retreat quickly, at least you can maintain an undefeated situation." β
"What the eldest brother said is very true, I think Li Jing's formation is extremely mysterious, if we continue to fight for a long time, we will suffer heavy losses." Li Shimin also showed a hint of worry, and said: "When the battle is quickly resolved, if a group of soldiers can make a detour behind and attack Li Xin's headquarters, even if it is a show, it can also boost the morale of the army." β
"Erlang, you lead 30,000 troops to attack the frontal place, auxiliary machines, you lead 10,000 troops to attack Li Xin's main formation, not to kill the enemy, but to fight with momentum." Li Yuan glanced at the crowd early, and finally fell on the head of the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Shimin's face changed, and he was about to say something, but he saw Li Jiancheng pull the sleeve of his robe.
"Yes." The eldest grandson Wuji was bitter in his heart, since he knew that the eldest grandson Wuji had left Daxing and arrived in the army of Li Xin in Chencang, the eldest grandson Wuji obviously felt that Li Yuan did not trust him, thinking that the departure of the eldest grandson Wuji was the result of his own connivance, and there was even a suspicion of ventilating the news, and now letting himself attack Li Xin is probably also a hint of test and use. The eldest grandson Wuji felt aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare not agree.
"Auxiliary, be careful yourself, if it doesn't work, withdraw it immediately." When he got out of the camp, Li Shimin still cautioned.
"The second prince should also be careful, if nothing else, Li Jing's formation should be called the Six Flowers Formation, but it is difficult to break this formation." Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said, "It was with this formation that Li Jing wiped out the Turkic army in one fell swoop. β
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his face suddenly showed a trace of joy, but there was no joy in his eyes, but he became even more cold and ruthless, but unfortunately, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't know this, and led an army of 10,000 to bypass Li Jing's army and kill Li Xin.
"Second son." Liu Hongji saw Li Shimin's gloomy face and couldn't help but remind.
"Attack, if you want to feint, I want to see what the origin of Li Jing's Six Flowers Array is." Li Shimin quickly let go of the doubts in his heart, calmed down and said to Liu Wenjing.
"Kill." After hearing this, Liu Hongji didn't dare to slack off, and instantly commanded the army to rush towards a petal.
"Shield." Cheng Yanjin looked at Liu Hongji, who was killed, and barely held back the attack, so he could only follow Li Jing's order, order the soldiers to raise their shields, and roared.
"Thorn!" With a loud roar, Liu Hongji saw that there was a huge spear mountain in front of him, under the sunlight, flashing with cold light, those Li Jun who rushed in front were pierced in an instant, even the war horses were no exception, blood instantly flowed all over the earth, and when a charge passed, the shield in front of him was full of corpses, and then he saw the spear drawn and the corpse rolled down. Liu Hongji, who was watching, was stunned, his heart was cold, and he glanced behind him, but found that the war drums behind him rumbled, and the sound was even more poignant and urgent.
"The whole army pressed up, they are few, and we are many." In desperation, Liu Hongji once again ordered thousands of people around him to be killed. These people also held spears in their hands and wore armor on their bodies, firmly protecting themselves.
"Points." A sneer appeared at the corner of Cheng Jin's mouth. (To be continued......)
