"How can the prince leave me and hold a military meeting privately?" Lu Zan looked at Li Yun and said.

Li Yun couldn't answer him directly.

Because Li Yun did it on purpose.

"We didn't tell the overseers of the Northern Han Dynasty, so we sent the army." This is Li Yun's decision.

His son, the little son Li Shoujie, was particularly unable to understand this matter.

"Father, since we are asking for help from the Northern Han, why should we act alone? Doesn't that mean there are no reinforcements? Li Shoujie asked.

"Silly boy, can't we defeat Zhao Kuangyin without the Northern Han Dynasty? When Zhao Kuangyin entered the pre-palace shift, I had already become a commander - how old was he? Li Yun said.

You talk to him about work, and he talks to you about qualifications.

"Isn't it unwise to set aside the actions of allies?" Li Shoujie asked.

"Allies? Hum! Li Yun said.

Li Shoujie didn't go to Taipingyi with Li Yun to see Liu Jun, so he didn't know what happened that day.

The moment Li Yun saw Liu Jun, he already regretted his intestines.

Li Yun has served Liu Zhiyuan, but Liu Jun is like Liu Zhiyuan's nephew!

He's too short.

Li Yun prides himself on being a hero, so he looks very seriously on the outside, if you can't be tall and burly, at least you should be as loud as a bell.

Liu Jun is a male duck with a hoarse voice.

What is a big disappointment, Li Yun is a big disappointment when he looks at Liu Jun.

Liu Jun sat on the top seat, and Li Yun walked over step by step.

Do you have to kneel down such a short and obscene person?

Look at Liu Jun's guards around him, they are shorter than him.

Li Yun suddenly lost his respect.

How could I also be the Taiwei of the Great Zhou, how could I form an alliance with such a weak king?

He knelt reluctantly.

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister." Li Yun said.

"General Li came well, I named you the king of Pingnan, and I allowed you to visit the shrine."

What does it mean to visit without a name? When he was in the last dynasty, he was only called King Pingnan, not Li Yun, which was a respect for the ministers and ministers, and Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the Eastern Han Dynasty enjoyed such treatment.

Liu Jun asked Li Yun to sit in the second place of the hundred officials, only below the Taishi.

This treatment is actually very interesting, the ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty have gritted their teeth, this old man has always been our enemy, he has not made an inch, and now he will sit in the second position.

But Li Yun had something else in mind.

"I am the representative of the Great Zhou, you are the Northern Han Dynasty, and we should have a relationship between countries."

He wants to sit opposite Liu Jun.

"Your Majesty, Li Yun is a courtier of the Great Zhou, and I hope that after defeating Zhao Kuangyin, I can recover the Great Zhou in Tokyo City......"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

You don't have anything, you came to ask for help, the Northern Han army came to help, don't you say that you will promise the city of Tokyo to the Northern Han, and you will rebuild the Great Zhou, what misconception do you have about yourself?

"There's no rush on this, let's discuss it again." Liu Jun felt embarrassed when he heard this, if he agreed to this again, he would have no dignity as an emperor at all.

"You have to make it clear first, after defeating Zhao Kuangyin......" Li Yun said.

"Then you have to defeat Zhao Kuangyin first!" Liu Jun was already very hung up.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Kuangyin is a piece of cake in my eyes......" Li Yun finally started the mode of boasting about his combat strength.

Liu Jun also breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, I'll send Luzan to your army as a prisoner."

"Overseers? I don't need a prison guard. Li Yun was taken aback.

"There is no other meaning to help communicate and coordinate the actions of the two armies." Liu Jun said.

Li Yun wanted to say more, but Liu Jun spoke: "I'm tired." ”

Li Yun had no choice but to retreat, and although the reinforcements came, they also brought back such a "father" as Lu Zan.

In several military discussions, Li Yun and Lu Zan did not speculate, and Li Yun seemed that Lu Zan was a literati and timid as a mouse. In Lu Zan's eyes, Li Yun is a delusional person, and he is all a risky way of fighting.

In the final military discussion, Li Yun did not call Lu Zan, and took his son and military advisor to arrange it himself.

So when Lu Zan pushed the door in, Li Yun was murderous.

Li Shoujie saw that Li Yun's eyes were wrong, and hurriedly gave Lu Zan a look.

"I will write to Your Majesty!" Lu Zan also noticed that Li Yun's face was not good, and hurriedly used this sentence to find a step for himself.

"Before your letter arrives, I have already defeated the Song army!" Li Yun saw Lu Zan retreating, and hurriedly ended with a word of unity.

Lu Zan turned around and went out, and Li Yun said to his son:

"You defend the party, and Lu Qiu and I will lead the troops to Gaoping."

"Why go to Gaoping?" Li Shoujie said.

"This is the place where Emperor Sejong broke the Khitans, if we can break the Song army here, I will be like Emperor Sejong and become the person to whom the Great Zhou Heavenly Destiny returns!" Li Yun said.

"Taiwei wants to use the second battle of Gaoping to boost morale, I can understand," Lu Qiu Zhongqing said, "but his subordinates also want to say another angle, the battle of Gaoping is the battle in which Zhao Kuangyin made great contributions, and for his soldiers, it is their victory." ”

"Didn't that just extinguish their spirit!" Li Yun said.

To put it mildly, this person is just obsessed.

"Father, I think it should still be caged, the Shangdang can hold on, we hold the Shangdang for half a year, the Khitan soldiers can be assembled, and when it turns to counterattack, the Song army must retreat." Li Shoujie did not give up and was still making his last efforts.

"Half a year! What half a year does it take to deal with these thieves? As long as I win in Gaoping, the grass on the wall of the forbidden army will fall to me......" Li Yun said.

The final conclusion was that Luqiu Zhongqing assisted Li Shoujie to defend the city, and Li Yun led his soldiers and horses to attack Zezhou and seize the old arsenal and fortifications of Gaoping.

It's exactly the same as Xu Yongzhi's prediction.

Xu Yongzhi and his soldiers came to the arsenal and position near Gaoping in the evening.

"Don't rest, the knight should build a position with the servants, and repair the old fortifications."

Deer, ditch, bamboo nails......

It was busy until dawn, and the fortifications were basically finished, and this small hill had become a fortress, and there was a well on the hill, with water and food, and it was not a problem to keep it for three days.

Xu Yongzhi temporarily made a white flag with red edges, and the word "Xu" was written on it.

After dawn, Li Yun's cavalry archers also appeared on the horizon, they captured Zezhou, killed the assassins loyal to the Song Dynasty, and now prepared to come to Gaoping to build a fortress.

"Captain, Gaopingzhai is occupied by enemy troops." The tooth general Liu Jichong reported to Li Yun and said.

"Whose flag?" Li Yun was a little surprised that Song Jun was so fast.

"It seems to be a Xu character."

"Xu?"

"Hahahaha!"

"Why is the captain laughing?"

"If it's Murong Yanzhao or Wang Quanbin, it will be a tough battle."

"If it's Xu Jin, the old man will teach him a lesson today!"

"Are we waiting for the infantry?" Liu Jichong looked at these cavalry.

"Let the cavalry dismount and attack the walled city, the soldiers are fast!" Li Yun ordered.

At the sound of the order, 3,000 cavalry and cavalry archers dismounted and prepared to attack the camp on foot.

The earliest surviving Chinese chess is from the Northern Song Dynasty.

There is a principle in Chinese chess, that is, the carriage and horse artillery have their own usage, and no one can replace the other.

The cavalry dismounted and went to attack the fortress, and this was to use their shortcomings.

But Li Yun's cavalry were all relaxed.

They believe in Li Yun, this is a general who can create miracles, in the past conflicts with the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan, Li Yun often chooses the kind of tactics that vigorously produce miracles, but the strange thing is that almost every time there will be miraculous results.

In fact, it is very simple, it is because the Northern Han soldiers can't help fighting.

The conscripts of the five dynasties of the remnants of the Tang Dynasty were very worrisome in combat, and as long as they encountered well-trained soldiers, they would quickly collapse.

If you are a farmer who has only been trained for half a month and is issued a wooden gun to send you into battle, your first reaction after seeing a mounted archer must be to run away.

Therefore, Li Yun's cavalry is actually an arrogant soldier - they have been dominating the low-intensity battlefield for a long time, and they are no longer able to fight against the wind.

They clamored in formation with bows and arrows, small round shields, and sabers, ready to attack.

"Brothers, the enemy is very proud, they think we are a rabble, this is a good opportunity for us, everyone is aiming, waiting for my order, let go closer!"

The horn sounded, a thousand dismounted cavalry rushed to the fortress, and five hundred dismounted cavalry archers took cover in the rear.

Arrows fell from the sky, injuring several Song soldiers and several people.

"General? Fight back? ”

"Raise your shield!" Xu Yongzhi shouted loudly.

"This is a soft bow, the force of the projectile is not great, and the shield can prevent it!"

After finding out that there was no return fire, Li Yun laughed.

"Maybe it's a recruit recruited by Xu Jin, don't you even have a bow and arrow?"

The trumpets blew, and the dismounted cavalry began to gallop at an accelerated pace.

For a period of uphill climbing, their speed gradually slowed down.

"Prepare ......"

"Put!"

Xu Yong commanded.

More than a hundred crossbows, which had been prepared for a long time, opened fire on the enemy troops who were rushing at the front.

This kind of fire in a dense crowd is a real bullet.

At a distance of dozens of steps, the leather armor is useless at all, and it will be completely pierced by the crossbow.

The dead man rolled down and knocked down his comrades in the back, and the group was in chaos.

The crossbow needs to be loaded, this is not the kind of small hand crossbow used by Duan Meimei, it can be fired multiple times, and it needs to be wound with your feet.

When the crossbow is loaded, the servants and the knights perform the next round of strikes with their bows.

The effectiveness of the bow is a little worse, and it is very difficult to penetrate the breastplate.

"Aim at their thighs!" Xu Yongzhi shouted loudly.

These knights were stunned for a moment, but they immediately understood what Xu Yongzhi meant.

The enemy was not infantry either, but dismounted cavalry.

The leg armor of the infantry armor protected the front of the thigh, like today's caftan carfon.

However, the cavalry armor is constructed to protect the sides of the thighs, because when on the horse, the sides of the legs can only be targeted by the enemy.

The front of the thighs of the dismounted cavalry was not protected by armor.

The next wave of bow blows was indeed shot at the lower half of the enemy's body.

The bolts are reloaded.

Put!

The bolt passed over the wounded soldiers who were lying on the ground and landed in the back row.

The soldiers behind were still rushing upwards without knowing what was going on.

People were piled up on the hillside all at once, with heavy casualties.

This wave knocked out four or five hundred Li Yun.

"Brothers, get on your horses and run, don't be a traitor to Li Yun!" The loud-voiced soldier arranged by Xu Yongzhi shouted loudly.

"Wait for the infantry, Captain!" Liu Jichong persuaded him hard.

"The old man personally led people!" Li Yun threw his helmet.

Several lieutenants hurriedly stopped.

"I'll go later." Liu Jichong said.

Liu Jichong made good use of the horse lance, he rode to the bottom of the hill and shouted: "Xu Jin, come out, one-on-one with me, and decide the winner!" ”

"Hahahaha!" The whole army on the hill burst into loud laughter.

This surprised Xu Yongzhidu.

This is the unique rule of the soldiers trained by the old man Murong Yanzhao.

"Don't think that your lord will not be cowardly if he does not fight with the other party, and the other party will ask for a heads-up when he is at a disadvantage, just laugh at them loudly!" This is how Murong Yanzhao educated his soldiers.

Murong Yanzhao never goes head-to-head with others, because fighting and heads-up are two different sports.

Zhao Kuangyin is different, Zhao Kuangyin has been a general until he became a general, and he once rushed into battle to capture the enemy.

"Xu Jin, are you afraid of me?" Liu Jichong was on his toes below.

Xu Yongzhi picked up a bow, pulled it full, and threw it with his back hand.

This arrow was as fast as lightning, and it just shot the red tassel on Liu Jichong's helmet.

"Go back, I won't fight you, I'm the king of the forbidden army's guns, a monster slaughterer, killing you can't increase my glory, if you want to go head-to-head, let Li Yun come to me." Xu Yongzhi said.

Liu Jichong understood that his ability was very high, but he couldn't go back, so he had to wave his horse:

"Up! Capture this braggart alive! ”

Thousands of dismounted cavalry came clamoring, and Liu Jichong also took his shield and rushed to the barrier.

Xu Yongzhi sighed: "What's the trouble with this......"

He commanded, "Use that guy!" ”
