Chapter 57: Eight Hundred Pacesetters Battle at the North Gate

Time flashed, and it had entered the late spring of Tang Kaiping's ten years. This year's year is very strange, when we enter April, in previous years, it was the season when a hundred flowers were in full bloom, but now it is still a scene of bitter cold winds and freezing ground! Looking at the land that cannot be cultivated, the peasants are not too anxious. Because it has been almost ten years of continuous harvest, the surplus grain at home can still last for two or three years. Seeing that the Qingming Festival is approaching, people have prepared items to commemorate their ancestors, so that they can carefully and seriously commemorate their deceased ancestors on that day, and by the way, they can also show their own abundance, so that the villagers around them can envy!

Xia Kan, the guard of the north gate of Chang'an City, stood at the head of the city, looked at the dense crowd of people leaving the city, and said to the military clan guarding the gate below: "Those who go out don't need to be checked, just check those who enter the city!

As soon as Xia Kan entered the door, he felt a pain in his neck, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, and then felt a burst of darkness attack, like a heavy stone, and fell to the ground!

More than a dozen black carriages slowly squeezed through the large crowd of people out of the city, and came to the entrance inspection office at the north gate. The soldiers guarding the gate did not seem to see it at all, and let the carriages into the city without checking at all. Because there were so many people out of the city, the two carriages could only move in little by little. Seeing that the front of your first carriage had just entered the urn city in the inner city, the carriage seemed to have encountered something and stood there without moving! In this way, the carriage convoy happened to block the passage on one side of the two gates inside and outside the north gate, making the entrance and exit of the city gate that was already crowded even more congested!

At this time, it seemed that billowing smoke and dust could be seen in the distance, and suddenly a thunderous roar was heard, and the earth shook again and again! With the tremors, the crowd in the distance dispersed like a tide, and people were crying and fleeing, as if they had seen something terrible!

The soldiers who stood at the head of the city and watched shouted loudly, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The soldiers defending the city hurriedly lowered the gate and tried to close the gate, ignoring the people who were frantically squeezing into the city! The carriages of those carriages were made of iron, and the heavy gates pressed against them, and there was not even a trace of deformation! When the people saw this, they all slipped under the gate and tried to flee to the city! But as soon as they ran to the edge of the inner city, they were stabbed to death on the spears of hundreds of soldiers standing at the gate! Looking at the thousands of their own people who had died on the spears, those pikemen did not move at all, as if they were hundreds of iron men! Gradually, the corpses of the people had filled the entire urn city! Then the iron gate of the inner gate fell with a "click", breaking the countless corpses at the city gate!

At this time, a large number of Turkic cavalry had already rushed into the urn city, and they looked at the iron gate in front of them and the corpses all over the ground, and slowly stopped!

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in black seemed to appear in the city, and as soon as he waved his hand, the Turkic cavalry saw countless torches falling, and then they felt that they began to burn violently, and felt extremely painful, but after a while, they didn't feel anything!

Less than half an hour later, about 2,000 light cavalry of the Quasi-Brother Division were burned to death in the small urn city! With the closing of the iron gate of the outer gate, the heads of the people were hung on the top of the city gate, and all those heads were burned black as ink, and they could not see their original appearance at all!

When Li Yuan received the attack on the North Gate, he had just gotten up. Looking at the eunuch who was out of breath and frightened, he said a little unhappily: "What's the matter, so panicked, what kind of system?"

"Your Majesty, the 100,000-strong army of the Turkic Khan and the Turkic Khan has arrived at the north gate of Chang'an, and the guards of the north gate have died in battle. The north gate is about to be breached at any moment!"

"What? Say it again!" Li Yuan said loudly!

"Your Majesty, the 100,000-strong army of the Turkic Khan and the Turkic Khan has arrived at the north gate of Chang'an, and the guards of the north gate have died in battle. The North Gate is about to be breached! The North Gate is about to be breached!"

"What, why is there no news when I arrived in Chang'an, why didn't my border guards have any secret reports! Come on, beat the drum and call the bell to come quickly!"

At this time, suddenly another eunuch came running quickly, as if he was even more excited and nervous. ran in front of Li Yuan, and fell to the ground with a thud!

When Li Yuan saw it, he was shocked and asked, "What's the situation, is the north gate lost?"

The eunuch seemed to be very happy, and saw that he did not get up, but lay on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty is very happy, the north gate is not lost." Thanks to the fact that the king of Qin took the princess to sweep the tomb at that time, he happened to find that the situation was not right, so he used his 800 guards to defend the inner gate of the north gate, and finally let the soldiers guarding the gate successfully protect the city gate! Now the king of Qin and his guards are still fighting the enemy to the death on the north gate city. The situation has now improved, and the enemy has gradually begun to retreat! Your Majesty don't worry, here is the battle report presented by the King of Qin, please take a look at it!"

Li Yuan calmed down his excitement for a while, and slowly started the battle report, looking at the dust and a little blood stains on it, thinking about the fierce battle that happened at that time, he couldn't help but feel a little proud of his son. I saw that the war report read: "The sons of the world and the people of the world played in person, and today the sons and daughters went to worship their mothers, and met the enemy at the north gate! Er set up an ambush in the north gate with 800 soldiers to lure the enemy deep, first kill the enemy in the urn city, and then block its forward, killing more than 2,000 enemies! Now Erchen is above the north gate, willing to live and die with the city gate, and vow not to retreat. Looking at the passionate words on the battle report, Li Yuan couldn't help but think of his career as a horse and his glorious years. He ordered in his mouth: "Quickly send a team of 10,000 people to rush to the aid of King Qin, and order him to only defend and not attack, and wait and see what happens!"

At this time, suddenly another eunuch came running quickly and shouted: "The king of Qin has taken his 800 soldiers to open the door and kill the enemy! He also ordered the defenders of the city to set up an archer battalion at the head of the city, saying that from now on they will never take a step back, even if they come back by themselves, they will be shot on the spot, and they will not be tolerated." Because we have retreated to the imperial city in the future, we have no way to retreat, so we will not retreat again!"

Li Yuan hurriedly ordered Li Huotong, the son of the general Li Hun, to chase Li Shimin with 20,000 yuan of illness!

At this time, another eunuch reported urgently: "The Turkic Turkic Khan was killed by a young general surnamed Xue of our dynasty, and the tribe to which his subordinates belonged was in an uproar, and the enemy was defeated. King Qin hopes that His Majesty will send troops to help him, hoping that he can defeat it!" Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to the people below: "It comforts my heart to get such a heroic son!"

Three days later, Li Shimin sat in his tent, looked at the two people sitting below, smiled and thanked him happily: "The master is really a master, and he killed the enemy chieftain Tuli Khan with only one shot on the horse, and it is indeed the legendary 10,000 enemies! Take the head of the enemy chief in that million army, just like the one who probed for things! The master is really a master!"

"In addition, the master's vision of seeing people is also so accurate and profound! Li Jing, whom the master recommended to me, is really like a god in his army, and he can easily defeat 100,000 enemies with only 800 children, and he is really a generation of military gods!"

Li Jing hurriedly replied: "The king is too famous, I'm just a small person, I dare to call the word 'god of war', don't kill the villain!"

King Qin looked at Li Jing and asked with a smile, "How did you find out that there was something wrong at the city gate that day? Those carriages looked very normal at that time, how did you judge that there was a problem at that time?"

Li Jing said: "I know from the marks of the ruts of the carriages and the difficult condition of the carriages when the carriages are drawn, that these batches of carriages are heavy carriages. Moreover, these groups of horses deliberately stopped on the passage in the city gate and stopped moving forward, so I immediately felt that there was a problem here, so I reminded everyone to be careful to guard the passage! I knew that if the outer city was broken, we would still have the inner city, so I set up an ambush outside the inner city!"

King Qin asked again: "Would you like Mr. Wen to break the enemy's army later?"

Li Jing said: "The enemy's strength is cavalry, and our strength is infantry and archers. So the purpose of everything I did was to slow down the cavalry! That's why I kept slowing down the enemy's march! As soon as the enemy slowed down, we had a chance!"

"Therefore, I first set up an ambush at the gate of the inner city, one to block the speed of its forwards, the second to block it at the outer gate, and to block the enemy again with bows and arrows! The third obstacle is that Xue Li went out of his horse and used language to ridicule the enemy's chieftain to fight alone, so that Xue Li shot and killed him. In this way, we will be able to defeat the enemy in one go when the first signs of the enemy's defeat are revealed!"

Xue Li looked at Li Jing, as if he wanted to find out something wrong from what he heard, but he didn't seem to have found anything wrong yet! As if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly asked: "Even so, the gun in your hand is eight hundred, their combat power is really powerful, and their strength is a little excessive, right?"

Li Jing looked at Xue Li with a smile and said happily: "This is all the contribution of Gu Yin'er and everyone! These 800 gunmen of mine were trained according to her requirements! She said that the chengguan in her hometown was the sharpest weapon in the world back then, and I got it according to what she said! These guys, as soon as they entered the battlefield, they were like fighting chicken blood, and they marched forward bravely and never flinched!"

Xue Li seemed to know something, and asked with a smile, "What conditions?"

"Thirty-five percent of the loot!"

"Sure enough, it's a good proportion! But it works well! It's almost like robbing yourself! Of course I mean guns! Their spears are good!"

King Qin laughed and said: "Of course the gun is good, this is a sketch drawn by Master Cang, the most powerful gun in history! I will definitely become the king of weapons in the future!" After that, he shook the gun lightly, and the one-zhang long gun turned into a three-zhang long, and the body of the gun trembled, and the edge appeared......
