After losing several cities in a row, the news naturally spread to the capital of Shi Kingdom and reported it to King Yuluo, and Li An was even more surprised when he got the news. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Li Shilang, this big food country is planning to do something! It seems that our plans did not appeal to Apos, and the old fellow must have greater ambitions. ”

The accompanying officer opened his mouth to express his opinion.

Li An thought for a moment, and looked puzzled: "Isn't it too strange that Shi Guo has lost several cities in a row, but there are no casualties at all?" Do you understand? ”

"This? The lower officials didn't quite understand either. ”

The little official frowned and pondered, and immediately spoke: "Li Shilang, you mean that these soldiers and horses of the Shi Kingdom all fled without a fight, and they did not fight with the soldiers and horses of the Great Food Country at all. ”

"Yes! As long as there are casualties, there will be casualties, and losing the city will definitely be a defeat, and it will have to be a heavy casualty, so the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses of the Shi Kingdom is really impressive! ”

Li An smiled helplessly, and had a clearer understanding of the combat effectiveness of Shi Guo's soldiers and horses.

In the Stone King's Palace, the black line on the face of the Emperor.

The border lost several cities in a row, and the generals under his command did not dare to resist, which made him feel very faceless, after all, the people of the Tang Dynasty were still in the territory of Shiguo, and if they knew this kind of thing, they would definitely laugh at him.

"Apos, what is this for? This year's tribute has already been delivered! This bastard. ”

Qiluo is full of resentment towards Apos, in order to maintain the country, he has not paid tribute to Apos, but this guy dares to come over to make trouble, he is simply a hungry wolf who can't be fed.

"King, I don't think this guy from Apos is coming at us."

"Oh, not for us, for whom?"

Luo was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "They are coming for the Tang Army." ”

"King, although there are only 5,000 enemy troops reported from the front, the main force of Apos is definitely behind, and we are powerless to resist, so let's ask Li Shilang to come over and discuss how to deal with it!"

Qiluo felt that it made sense, but the Tang army only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, and no matter how elite they were, they couldn't resist Apos's 100,000 army.

In addition, there is another layer of worry for Yuluo, he is worried that the Tang army will withdraw from the stone country if it can't be defeated, and in this way, the stone country will become Apos's punching bag, which will be troublesome.

But the current sinister situation can only be solved by Datang, and there is no choice for Qiluo.

"Okay, go and invite Li Shilang over, and prepare a banquet."

Ura ordered.

Li An was going to go to the palace to deal with the affairs of the border of Shiguo, but before he could go out, he met the invitation of Yuluo, so he went to the Shiwang Palace happily.

"Li Shilang, the king has been waiting in the palace for a long time."

Li An nodded, strode into the palace, and at a glance saw Wuluo pacing back and forth and several bearded ministers of the Shi Kingdom.

"Li Shilang, Li Shilang is here."

Luo Luo turned his head and looked at Li An who was walking forward, and forced a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Li Shilang, you have finally come here, Li Shilang already knows what happened at the border!" ”

Li An smiled faintly: "This official also just found out, your Shi Kingdom's injuryless army is really an eye-opener for this official!" ”

"Unharmed Legion? When did my Stone Country have an uninjured legion? How could this king not know. ”

Luo was stunned for a moment, feeling that things were so strange, and subconsciously looked at the ministers behind her.

"No, absolutely not."

Several ministers didn't react for a while, and quickly shook their heads.

"Losing many cities in a row, the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom are unscathed, isn't this an uninjured legion, oops! Even the most elite army of my Datang will lose a lot of soldiers and horses in the case of continuous defeats, and the self-preservation strength of the soldiers of Shiguo is really impressive! ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

The words are so clear, even a fool can understand that Li An is satirizing the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not start a war with the army of the Great Food Country, and their ability to flee before fighting is very powerful.

And after hearing these words, Wu Luo and the ministers under his command all felt that their faces were dull, especially Qi Luo had a black line, these useless soldiers were too embarrassed to lose his face, but fortunately, his face has always been thicker, and his patience has passed.

"Hehehe! Let Li Shilang smile, my Shiguo is weak and powerless to resist Apos's attack, but Apos clearly knows that Datang's soldiers and horses are stationed here, but he still dares to provoke my Shiguo, which is clearly provoking Datang, and I also ask Li Shilang to call the shots for us. ”

She put down her status as a king and humbly asked for Ang Lee's help.

Li An nodded and said: "The king doesn't have to worry, Apos just sent a thousand men and horses to come over to test it, it's not a big deal, this official will send the elite soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty to deal with it, you can rest assured." ”

"Li Shilang, it is 5,000 soldiers and horses, and I also ask Li Shilang to inform the Tang Dynasty and send more soldiers and horses to garrison our Shi Country, so that our Shi Country can be more safe."

Urlo corrected.

"No need, with the strength of my Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, three thousand people are enough to protect your Shi Kingdom, and besides, the king also believes in his generals too much, in order to shirk the responsibility of abandoning the city, they exaggerated the enemy army by five times! This official has already deployed eyeliner on the border, and Apos has only sent a thousand soldiers and horses, and moreover, he is still scattered to occupy multiple cities, and there is no shadow of a follow-up army at all. ”

Ang Lee reluctantly told the truth.

"What, it's only a thousand soldiers."

Wu Luo was stunned for a moment, and then spoke: "If there are only 1,000 soldiers and horses, my Shi Kingdom also has the strength to expel them, but there are hundreds of thousands of troops under Apos, they will retaliate in the future, Li Shilang should not be too light on the enemy, it is better to let the Tang Dynasty increase the army." ”

Li An glanced at Qiluo and said lightly: "The king is waiting for good news in the capital!" This official will go to transfer troops and horses, and immediately go to the border pass to expel the enemy army for your stone country. ”

After saying that, he turned and left the palace.

"That's really thankful, send Li Shilang quickly, all the operational expenses required by the Tang Army will be borne by the treasury."

Qiluo was very happy in his heart, with the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses coming forward, he could sit back and relax, even if Apos retaliated in the future, it was the Tang Army who was looking for it.

Ever since Ang Lee heard that Apos had dispatched elites to provoke the border, he had been thinking about Apos's true intentions, and he had almost thought about it along the way.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, but only a thousand soldiers and horses were sent to provoke, this is obviously not a full-scale attack, but a temptation.

Apos must know about a situation like Shiguo, which is weak and the whole country is afraid of death, so there is no need to test it at all, and what he wants to test can only be the Tang soldiers and horses stationed in Shiguo.

As for the reason for the temptation, don't guess at all, Li An can figure it out with his eyes closed.

"Li Shilang, where are we going now?"

Li An looked to the side: "Go to the barracks immediately and drive." ”

Sitting in the comfortable ironclad car, Li An soon arrived at the military camp where the Tang army was stationed, not so much a military camp as a small city, and it was also an easy to defend and difficult to attack city, and the three thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Shiguo were inside.

"Kill...... Kill...... Kill ......"

Walking into the barracks, I heard the uniform shouting and killing sound from inside, this is the serious training of the soldiers, although the equipment is becoming more and more advanced, but the most basic training is indispensable, if it does not go through strict training, no matter how good the equipment is difficult to play a role.

"Li Shilang."

Duan Xiushi and a number of generals walked over.

"As soon as I settled down, I started training, and I didn't rest for a few more days."

Li An said with concern.

"Only by practicing more in peacetime can we reduce casualties when we fight, and we dare not slack off in our duties."

Duan Xiushi said with a straight face.

Li An nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you usually have to seize all the time to practice, you have done a good job, in this way, you will definitely be able to be competent for the important task of guarding the stone country, by the way, what happened on the border of the stone country, do you know?" ”

"What's going on at the Shiguo border?"

Duan Xiushi and everyone were confused.

Ang Lee briefly explained the matter, so that everyone understood what was happening.

"Shi Guo's soldiers and horses, actually so cowardly, when they see the enemy, they flee, in this way, the pressure on our army has greatly increased, originally I still expected Shi Guo's soldiers and horses to share the pressure for our army? Now I can't count on it. ”

Duan Xiushi smiled helplessly, full of contempt for the Shi Guo army, rather than counting on these pig teammates to help, it was better to rely on himself alone.

"Shiguo is doing business all over the country, even in the army, businessmen are greedy for money, naturally they are the most greedy for life and afraid of death, even if they are given the best weapons, they can't win the battle, and they have to rely on you to protect the land of Shiguo."

Li An said seriously.

"Li Shilang, the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom do not go to guard their own cities, but they want us to help, what is the matter, we can't be pawns for the people of the Shi Kingdom in vain!"

One of the lieutenants was a little dissatisfied, feeling that this was too much of a loss.

Li An smiled: "Don't worry, the people of Shiguo are good at doing business, they are very rich, and the treasury is also full, all the expenses of each of your dispatches are borne by the treasury of Shiguo, in addition, the king of Shiguo will have another reward, you will not suffer a loss, stay in Shiguo, it must be a good day of good wine and meat." ”

"What does Li Shilang mean is to let our army go out to repel the soldiers and horses of the Great Food Country and help the Shi Kingdom regain the lost city?"

The generals immediately understood what Ang Lee meant.

Li An nodded and said: "That's right, if the official's expectation is good, Apos sent such a small number of soldiers and horses over, just to challenge the authority of our army, if our army does not go to the battle, it will be too timid, teach them a lesson in the past, let them know the military power of the Tang Dynasty, in this way, the soldiers can force Apos to submit to the Tang Dynasty without blood, so as to avoid a greater disaster of swords and soldiers." ”

"Yes, it's still Li Shilang's thoughtfulness, when will our army go to war."

The generals were naturally eager to try, and now that they were so well-equipped and the enemy army did not have many soldiers and horses, it was as easy as searching for something to defeat the enemy army, and no one wanted to miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and gain benefits.

"The soldiers are fast, order the troops now, set off in an hour, a thousand soldiers and horses are enough, bring all the artillery."

Li An opened his mouth and ordered, this time he naturally had to go in person.

With cannons and ironclad vehicles to help, there is no need to worry about defeat at all.

A thousand of the most elite soldiers and horses were quickly ready, and soon boarded dozens of troop carriers and headed for the border of Shiguo.

Although the number of legions stationed in Shiguo is relatively small, when all of them are elite soldiers and horses, and equipped with advanced equipment, in order to enhance mobility, personnel carriers are indispensable.

A personnel carrier can accommodate thirty or fifty people, to say the least, and only a few dozen personnel carriers are enough for a thousand soldiers and horses.

At the head of the line was the ironclad command vehicle in charge, followed by a personnel carrier full of soldiers, and the last ten vehicles were loaded with ammunition and several soldiers, with cannons drawn underneath.

This is the most elite artillery team of the Anxi Army, with five people per gun and a transport vehicle to transport this bulky cannon and realize the rapid mobility of artillery.

"Li Shilang, the city ahead is occupied by the Aposian army, look at the black flag, that is the flag of the Aposian army."

"Well, I see, it doesn't seem that there are many men and horses, the soldiers are divided into three ways, outflanked on both wings, and they are attacking the city head-on, so that they can see how our Tang army fights."

Li Anzhi was complacent, with the current equipment and morale of the Tang Army, it was too easy to fight Apos's soldiers and horses, as if he was digging for something.

A thousand men and horses quickly dispersed and surrounded the poorly defended city, and half of the main force assembled in front of the city, ready to attack the city.

"Li Shilang, the other party estimates that there are only three hundred people, and he will definitely be able to take the city in half an hour."

Duan Xiushi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the enemy in front of him was too small, it was not worth mentioning at all, and he belonged to the type that could be pinched to death with one finger.

Li An nodded and ordered: "Let the artillery pair immediately set up the cannon, although it is a bit of a bully to deal with them, but as long as it can reduce casualties, it can't be cared for." ”

"Set up artillery and prepare for the siege."

The ten cannons were very easy to mobilize, and they were quickly erected and angled to aim at the enemy on the walls.

Apos's elite soldiers and horses, galloping in the west all the year round, are a confident army, they have all heard of the Tang Dynasty, but they don't know too much, and they are naturally not very clear about the force of the Tang Dynasty, so when they see the black hole in front of them, they don't feel scared at all, just like watching a performance, after all, these cannons are too far away from them, so they don't believe that such a distant guy can threaten their lives?

"These nerds, are you looking at the scenery?"

Through the binoculars, Li An saw the curious eyes standing on the city wall, and the corners of his mouth smiled faintly.

"What a sin, let's shoot!"

"Boom ......"

The cannon opened fire in an instant, throwing a powerful cannonball at the city wall in front of it, and because of the accurate aiming, almost none of them missed, and all of them hit the women's wall, overturning a large area of Apos's elite soldiers and horses.

After a few rounds of bombardment, the walls were in chaos, and except for the dead and seriously wounded, the rest of the people did not care about orders, and all ran down the walls in wailing to save their lives.
