Chapter 368: Asking for help is blocked
However, after Li Heng spat out this sentence, he immediately felt that he had lost his words, so he pretended to be wrong and laughed and said, "Don't be anxious, maybe this is just the unwarranted conjecture of the prince, urging the 300,000 troops to steadily hold on the road that Lin'an City must pass, so if Xiao Tiancheng had not had nothing to do, he would never have taken the way of breaking through the siege by breaking into pieces, and a few remnants of the army were defeated, how could it set off a lot of storms, and the prince wrote to order him to pay more attention just in case?" ”
After hearing Li Heng's weak explanation, although everyone was a little relieved, the worries that had emerged before were like a haze shrouded in everyone's hearts at this moment, and it was impossible to dissipate, but after seeing Li Heng's brush and order someone to send an urgent order to urge Qingfeng, everyone gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the 20,000 light horsemen led by Guo Ziyi, who had been urged to clear the wind before, appeared in front of the eyes of the world like ghosts, but their appearance made the Qingfeng army, which was originally chasing Xiao Tiancheng in an orderly manner, a little liared.
"What? Those 20,000 people have broken through seven lines of defense in a row and rushed straight to Deqing Town near Lin'an City!! How is this possible? Isn't there still a hundred thousand troops to defend it? The two towns of Deqing and Fuyang have 150,000 people, plus 100,000 people in Lin'an City, and the three-legged duo is a horn with each other, how can their light cavalry of more than 20,000 points be able to attack all the way so quietly...... This...... Isn't that a fantasy? ”
After urging Qingfeng to sit on the horse and learn the news, his whole brain suddenly became dizzy, and he almost fell off the horse on the spot, but fortunately, a few guards quickly dragged the person to death, which did not cause any tragedy, but because of this, the army chasing Xiao Tiancheng's remnants could only camp in place and wait for more news to come.
And the first time after urging Qingfeng to wake up and come back was to order the army to move quickly in the direction of Lin'an City, because at this time he had fully understood why the 20,000 people were able to break through the various defense lines so quickly and go straight to Lin'an, if it weren't for Li Heng's illness and rush to the doctor's hospital in order to hold Zhang Xiaojing's Jiujiang crisis, he would have continuously transferred out the hundreds of thousands of troops on the periphery of Lin'an City without authorization, how could there be such an embarrassing situation?
But at the moment, in addition to wanting to cry without tears, he could only scold Li Heng's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart, after all, when he met such a pig teammate, he also fell into blood mold in his previous life. The matter has come to this, urging Qingfeng to understand that no matter how much he complains, he can't change anything, and the only thing he can do at the moment is to throw down the army and rush to Lin'an City with 50,000 cavalry lightly and simply, because at this moment, in addition to Li Heng, a pig teammate, there is a large group of more stupid and selfish pig teammates guarding Lin'an City.
If the clans of Zhedong Province and the nobles compromised a little, or were frightened by the 20,000 people before the battle began, and took the initiative to surrender, hundreds of thousands of people on their side, and even more than 500,000 people on General Li Hengjiu's side, would really be rootless, and without the support of grain, grass and ordnance from the rear base, they would not seem to be able to find a second way to survive except for committing suicide by throwing themselves into the river.
But this bad thing is often one after another, urging Qingfeng This kid is half a life of glory, but since he met Li Mao, he has tasted all the hardships of life in the past few years, first his childhood sweetheart's fiancée was robbed, and then his family had to go on the road of betrayal as a last resort, and then he himself was running around to assist Li Heng in sleeping in the open, to be honest, he was really physically and mentally exhausted.
On the way to Lin'an to support, the 50,000 horses ran almost without a moment's stop, but as said before, the house leaked and rained overnight, and the broken ship was hit by the head wind, when you want to rush quietly, there will always be some unexpected things, such as the 20,000 cavalry that suddenly appeared in front of them, and when Qingfeng saw clearly the local general standing at the front of the team, the brain that was still dizzy just now cleared up a lot.
Because the mighty general in front of him with a horizontal knife and a fish-scale armor is not someone else, it is Xiao Tiancheng, a victorious general who is eager to fight in his heart. So he immediately waved his hand and motioned for the guards around him to remove the shield that was covering, and then greeted each other very respectfully with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Dashuai, Jingshi has been separated for several years, but I didn't expect your style to still be the same as back then! Who would have thought that the shopkeeper Xiao Da, who welcomed guests with a smile in a robe and cloth in the past, would be a majestic commander of the army today, and the juniors urged Qingfeng to see General Xiao......"
"Haha...... Cui family boy, you really have sharp teeth and sharp mouth! When you die, you don't forget to speak quickly, Ben Shuai's past is well known, so I won't bother you to publicize it, but today you are so anxious where do you want to go! Could it be that Lin'an City is in danger...... Ha ha...... A general is incompetent and tired to death of the three armies, urge the boy, you still listen to Ben Shuai's persuasion, read that you are extraordinary in swordsmanship, if you dismount and surrender at this moment, Ben Shuai can personally intercede with the saint, so you can also find a job by Ben Shuai's side to lead the horse and leave a small life......"
"It's a blessing to be favored by Xiao Dashuai to urge someone to live three lives, but now you and I, my lords, so don't talk nonsense, Lin'an City can't be guaranteed, and look at the factory inspection in the hands of this general?" After a few words between the two, Qi Qingfeng also seemed to see that Xiao Tiancheng was delaying time, so he drew his long sword and ordered all the cavalry behind him to rush and kill, because he understood that any conspiracy and trickery in front of Xiao Tiancheng was not worth talking about, and the only way to defeat this person was to fight hard, relying on the advantage of numbers to overwhelm the local formation in an instant.
On the other hand, Xiao Tiancheng saw the whole army attacking without respecting the rules, and immediately panicked and turned back to the team, so in an instant, gun to gun, Mo knife to Mo knife opened one of the most tragic white-knuckle battles in history, the battle in less than ten minutes, the two sides fell down thousands of people, and the most terrifying thing was that the more than 20,000 people led by Xiao Tiancheng did not flinch in the face of absolute disadvantage, but many sergeants on his own side, Because it was the first time I encountered such a bloody scene, I became a little nervous.
"The Tang soldiers on the opposite side are very good, the bravery you have just shown, the commander is very admired, but you are indiscriminate, turn your back on the Tang Dynasty sage, this is a rebellion against the thief, even if you die, you will be scolded by the world, and then throw the corpse in the wilderness how sad, this handsome for the Tang Dynasty Sheji, tens of millions of Li people, once fought in Tibet, bloody war against the Turks, exterminated Fusang, is a loyal and righteous person, you and I are enemies, how to face the relatives in the future, the saint has eyes, the rebels only kill the first rebel, you and other soldiers are only obedient, When the net is open, let it go home, and when will it ...... if you don't descend at this time?"
Xiao Tiancheng's every rebuke was like stabbing the heart of the 50,000 cavalry with a sword, they stared at each other and swallowed their saliva, although these people were the first to follow Li Heng from Chang'an South, but most of them were also tired of Li Tang's imperial favor for generations, and some were even more military families, if they said that they were fighting against foreign clans, then they might rather die than fall into the prestige of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, but now the opponent they are facing is Xiao Tiancheng, the first hero of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone will doubt their lives.
Of course, these are also secondary, and what is even more terrifying is that the more than 20,000 people led by Xiao Tiancheng are the elite of the elite, not ordinary vegetables and potatoes at all, and fighting with them is simply replacing them with three to four times the number of human lives.
At the same time, after hearing Xiao Tiancheng's bewitchment, Qingfeng also hurriedly spoke out to stop it. "Xiao Tiancheng, you are at the end of your rope, you dare to speak out so loudly, Li Mao forced his father to usurp the throne, it is really a great rebellion, I will assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and defend the orthodoxy of Li Tang, it is the destiny of heaven, do you think that just a few words of rhetoric can shake the heart of our army? This is about to be remembered for the sake of the bloody battle you have fought for the Tang Dynasty in the past, and I can spare your life, as long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light......"
"Haha...... The Cui family kid Ben Shuai sees that you are talking about a dream, abandon the dark and turn to the light, who is dark and who is bright! Could it be that the corner of the Yangtze River that you occupy is the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of my Tang Dynasty? Now that the situation is changing, and the Tang Dynasty sage has surrendered to the four seas, do you think that the little Jiangnan can still turn over the sky? At this point, if you are still obsessed, then only the descendants of the future generations will spurn you, and the soldiers will go to the thunderbolt and thunder, and today we will burn the jade with the rebels......"
As Xiao Tiancheng spoke, hundreds of soldiers on the left and right took off their armor without the slightest hesitation, revealing the strings of swarthy thunderbolts on their chests, and then took out the fire twist with their right hand and waved it lightly, and saw the dazzling flames swaying in the cold wind......
