Chapter 309: I already knew
"Damn Liang Guo, it's all grass on the wall, and it's a shame that we've been supplying them with grain and grass these days!"
Many people in Dingxiang City watched the Liang army slaughter Tuli and cursed, but Jieli and Zhao Deyan sat firmly in Diaoyutai.
The crown prince Li Chengqian breathed a long sigh of relief, and sneered at Zhao Deyan and said: "See, there is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, and Liang Guo defected to the Tang Dynasty, which shows that our Datang will win." ”
Zhao Deyan stretched out his hand and wanted to rub Li Chengqian's head, but was dodged by the other party.
Zhao Deyan didn't care, but said jokingly: "Your brother-in-law is a master." For today's battle, I'm afraid it's been a whole two years of layout. He sent his brother-in-law Xue Li to infiltrate the Liang State early, slowly set up the Liang Shidu, and controlled the Liang State government. While eye-to-eyeing with the Tang Dynasty, he cried with the Turks and asked for money and horses. What a good move. ”
What??
"You mean, Xue Li, the prime minister of Liang State, was arranged by my brother-in-law?" Li Chengqian was stunned, how could he never have imagined that Xiao Rui had planned so long-term? If it is really like what Zhao Deyan said, then Xiao Rui is really terrifying, and he has the ability to predict the future.
Zhao Deyan said patiently like a teacher leading a student: "Not bad." I investigated for two whole years, but I didn't find the slightest trace of Xue Li's life. If it weren't for an accidental opportunity before this war, I'm afraid they would have really been plotted by them today. ”
After speaking, he ordered the standard-bearers around him, and the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses could be dispatched.
Zhao Deyan muttered to himself: "Master Hou, I have long known that Xue Li will defect. So he prepared an army of 50,000 men. Coupled with Tuli's 30,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 80,000 people, is it enough to eat you and Xue Li's two brothers? Relying on the weak 40,000 remnants of the Liang Kingdom, can you stop me from 80,000? ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqian's heart lifted up again, his little face turned pale, and he was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe hard, for fear of disturbing the battle situation.
Although he hates Xiao Rui's brother-in-law very much, he is not stupid, he still knows who his own people are, and of course he is extremely looking forward to Datang winning and Xiao Rui winning at this moment.
The sound of the horn in Dingxiang City rose again, the battle situation changed abruptly, and the last 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Turks were also pressed.
Strangely, these 50,000 soldiers and horses did not go towards Li Jing's large formation of the Chinese army, but went straight in the direction of Xiao Rui, as if they were going to step directly past Xue Li's Liang State infantry.
is rushing forward bravely, and there are still 300 steps to see the brother who thinks about it, Xue Li is more and more excited to kill. The unconscious Tuli was hurriedly carried aside by the guards to dodge.
At this moment, the infantry general of the Liang State rushed over and found Xue Li and reported: "Report! Xiangguo, it's not good, the Turkic 50,000 cavalry caught up from the rear to attack us, we are not prepared to ride on foot, please Xiangguo come to help! ”
Xue Li turned his head and looked down the hillside, so angry that he almost ran away! Damn Jieli, I thought you kept 50,000 to attack the Chinese army, but I didn't expect that these 50,000 were reserved for the master? Could it be that you already knew that the master was going to rebel?
Or are you here for your brother?
In any case, today will not let you pass!
Xue Li killed the Turkic infantry around him, and shouted at Xiao Rui on the mountain: "Brother, don't panic, when the younger brother goes down to kill the pursuers, he will come to join you." ”
What??? I heard you right. This young general is fierce, but do you think you are Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu? You only have 10,000 cavalry, and you have lost 2,000 or 8,000 cavalry, so you dare to turn around and meet 50,000 cavalry? Listen to that tone, as if you have a chance to win? Where do you get the confidence?
Hou Junji and Ma Sandao both expressed doubts.
Xiao Ruilang shouted: "Second brother, don't retreat, just kill and go up the mountain." The things under the mountain have been arranged for my brother for a long time. ”
Xiao Rui waved his hand and motioned to the flag bearer to give the order.
Although Xue Li was puzzled, he still followed his brother's order and continued to fight forward. It's not that he doesn't care about the life or death of the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom, it's just that he trusts his brother too much. I believe that my brother must have arranged it better than himself.
The Xuanjia army, which had just killed the left flank and helped Zuo Wuwei, happened to see the battle situation in the distance, and the 50,000 army rushed straight to Xiao Rui, Zhang Shigui and others were also very worried.
"Fang Yiai, Li Junxian, we led two thousand soldiers and horses to assist Zuo Wuwei. You lead a thousand soldiers and horses from your headquarters to quickly return to help Hou Ye, and you must escort him out safely. Zhang Shigui ordered.
Here, Qin Shubao, the general of the Left Wuwei, fought hard to exchange his life with injuries, and finally took down the Right Xian King led by the Turks. Riding a horse came to the Xuanjia Army and said loudly: "There is nothing wrong with Zuo Wuwei's side, the Xuanjia Army will all come back to help immediately, Xiao Rui must not have an accident!" ”
"General Qin, you ......"
"Even if Zuo Wuwei is all killed, Xiao Rui will never have an accident, Zhang Shigui, do you understand? Hurry up! Qin Shubao shouted angrily.
Zhang Shigui and the others were helpless, so they could only nod heavily, and then took the Xuanjia Army to return to the aid in an arc.
On the hillside, Hou Junji was puzzled: "Master Hou, that's 50,000 cavalry, it doesn't seem to be a mediocre hand, we don't have any troops." Where did you get the arrangement? ”
Xiao Rui smiled and pointed to the south, "Look, our back hand is coming." That's the second surprise I have for Jieli. Old Hou, do you remember what we arranged in Luoyang? ”
Hou Junji looked at the south under the mountain, a brand-new Tang light cavalry, numbering 10,000, and a striking banner - Tang Yunlu General Su.
"That's ...... Su Lie? Hou Junji slapped his head, "How did I forget him." Master Hou, who would have thought that you could turn a group of horsemen into elite cavalry? I knew that this was the case, so I would have brought an extra 10,000 people to Su Lie. At the moment, 10,000 versus 50,000, isn't it a bit difficult? ”
Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "No, we are well equipped." One person tops two. Soldiers are not expensive. It's not like you go up to the duel, the other party keeps running, so it's hard to fight. This time it was a head-to-head confrontation, hand-to-hand, and we had a great advantage in equipment. As long as Su Lie can kill them, these 50,000 cavalry are a flock of headless sheep. ”
Hou Junji was not jealous of Su Lie's soldiers and horses, and also said words of blessing, "Old Hou, I am looking forward to the achievement of the first battle of the three-piece war horse set. ”
What War Horse Three-Piece Set? What are you talking about? Where is there such an elite cavalry in Datang? Looking at this brave style, except that the equipment is not a Xuanjia heavy cavalry, the others seem to be no different from the Xuanjia Army. A full 10,000 Xuanjia army? God, how much does it cost to afford this?
Ma Sandao became a problem baby and asked a series of questions to the two.
Xiao Rui and the two glanced at each other, and laughed at the same time, "Money? Who said you have to spend a lot of money to raise soldiers? Isn't it possible to let them feed themselves? General Ma, if I told you that this elite cavalry was a group of horsemen who fed the horses and cooked the day before, would you believe it or not? ”
If you don't believe it, you won't believe it if you kill it!
Wait a minute......
"Master Hou, are you saying that this team has been taking care of the group of horsemen of the Xuanjia Army? How can it be? How could a groom be so elite? ”
"What kind of elite can lower his status to help others feed horses and cook as a coolie?"
Hou Junji explained with a smile: "Old Ma, if it weren't for the sake of hiding as a backhand, Hou Ye would be reluctant to wronged this group of soldiers, these are all elite soldiers trained by Hou Ye himself." Everything was all planned, in order to deceive Jieli and Zhao Deyan. ”
Ma Sandao was convinced, admired Xiao Rui's scheming, and admired the soldiers led by Xiao Rui, this silent forbearance and discipline alone is enough to be worthy of the word elite.
Zhao Deyan at the head of Dingxiang City was stunned, and Jieli exclaimed in surprise, "That's it?" Tang cavalry? They, where did they get another cavalry? ”
