Chapter 101: The Tiance Army Becomes Famous (8) (2nd Update)
"Your Highness, why hasn't the rebel camp moved yet? Could it be that Li joined the army and failed to succeed? ”
Seeing that there was no signal coming from the distance, Pei Rong was also a little worried, you must know that for this operation, they can send all their troops, 1,000 cavalry plus 5,000 infantry, if they can't break the enemy in one fell swoop, they won't have such a good chance to defeat the rebels in front of them later.
"Wait a minute, there may be a delay over there!"
At this time, Li Ye also lost his self-confidence, after all, this was not a planned action before, it was just a temporary intention of Li Yingxu, if it succeeded, it would be fine, if it didn't, he could only give up. He didn't worry about the rebels' deception, he had cavalry, and sent a lot of scouts to operate near the rebel camp, and the rebels who lacked cavalry were not the opponents of the Tiance army at all in terms of scouts. As soon as something is wrong, he can order an immediate retreat.
Not far from Li Ye, Zhong Wei, who had come back to report the news, was also in the ranks, and at this time, the other party had already changed into a bright light armor, and he was also riding a horse under him. However, Zhong Wei was also very anxious at this time, after all, he was only back to report the news, but Li Yingxu and Qin Yi'an were still in the rebel camp, and if the plan failed, the two would not be able to escape death.
However, the scouts sent out have not yet sent back the news, and the entire Tiance Army has not moved, so he can only be an ordinary soldier and stay honest.
"Report 。。。。。"
A scout suddenly came quickly, and then jumped off his horse a few feet away from Li Ye, came to Li Ye with a fist and said loudly, "Tell Your Highness, there is chaos in the rebel camp and a fierce battle is taking place. ”
Hearing this news, Li Ye was overjoyed, and it seemed that Li Yingxu's plan had been realized. However, Pei Rong on the side hurriedly asked, "Is the news true?" ”
"It's true, the rebels have already killed each other, and the villain has seen thousands of rebel corpses, which is not like a fake." The scout affirmed.
Soon, another scout came to report, and the same answer was to this scout, indicating that the news was accurate.
Li Ye immediately raised the matching sword in his hand and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "The soldiers of the Tiance Army, the opportunity to make contributions has come." Chuan Ben King's order, the Tiance army attacked! ”
"Attack! Offensive! ”
Saying that, Li Ye clamped the horse's belly and took the lead in riding the horse, Zhao Xiong next to him didn't expect Li Ye to take the lead in the charge, so he was in a hurry and hurriedly followed with his own soldiers. And the cavalry led by Liu Kui also launched a charge, and as for the infantry, they could only speed up to keep up.
In the rebel camp, Qian Neng was bleeding in his heart, although he brought tens of thousands of troops this time, but facing Yue Changxu's army, which was less than half of his army, made him lose his troops. Although he knew that Yue Changxu was brave and good at fighting, he was fighting against the official army, but he didn't expect that after he faced each other now, even if he was outnumbered, he couldn't suppress the other party, which reminded him of the original situation.
Even if he could quell Yue Changxu's rebellion this time, he would lose a lot, and he would have a headache when he thought of the imperial army that was still eyeing him from the sidelines. He realized that he had done something wrong, and even if he put down Yue Changxu's rebellion, he could only retreat, otherwise he would most likely be eaten by the imperial army. Thinking of his unfinished business, Qian Neng regretted it a little.
Pingding Yue Changxu will definitely lose a lot, no matter whether he asks, he is not reconciled. So in any case, it was difficult for him to accept.
At this moment, the earth suddenly shook, and a muffled thunderous sound came from afar, and Qian Neng was suddenly shocked, could it be the imperial army? But how did the imperial army come so quickly? He suddenly saw Yue Changxu who was killing him, so he gritted his teeth fiercely and looked at the other party with hateful eyes, it must be that the other party had already colluded with the imperial army, otherwise how could the imperial army come so quickly?
A cronie galloped over on a horse, and then ran to Qian Neng, sweating profusely and said, "My lord, go quickly, the cavalry of the imperial court is coming, there are thousands of people!" ”
"What?"
Although he had already guessed, when he really heard it, he still couldn't accept it, and immediately ordered, "Quickly withdraw, quickly withdraw!" ”
At this time, Qian Neng didn't have time to take care of Yue Changxu, if he didn't run again, he really couldn't run away. He immediately ordered his men to block the imperial cavalry and Yue Changxu's troops, while he rode out under the cover of dozens of personal soldiers.
Before he could run far, a gust of wind howled, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves made him trample on his heart, only to see hundreds of cavalry of the Tiance Army roaring past, and the personal soldiers around him fell to the ground one after another.
In the panic, Qian Neng was also thrown out by his own mount, and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping. When he stood up with his hair scattered, a mighty silver-armored young general stood in front of him, holding a sharp jade sword, with a little curiosity in his cold eyes. Around him, hundreds of well-armored cavalrymen surrounded him tightly, but Qian Neng felt as if he was protecting the silver-armored young general in front of him.
"Who are you?" Looking at the silver-armored young general with a young face in front of him, Qian Neng subconsciously asked, perhaps wondering who he died in. In his opinion, even if you die, you must die blindly.
"Guess!"
The corners of Li Ye's mouth curled, and then his right hand quietly exerted force, and in the screams of Qian Neng, the saber pierced the opponent's neck mercilessly.
After wiping the blood stains on the sword body with a white cloth, Li Ye instructed Liu Kui on the side, "Cut off his head and let the rebels surrender!" ”
"Yes!"
Liu Kui, who was wearing thick armor, hugged his fists to receive his life, then pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, cut off the head of Qianneng, raised it high with a horse lance, and shouted, "The rebel thief chief can ambush him!" ”
The surrounding soldiers and the cavalry of the Tiance Army cheered loudly, and then rode their horses to kill in all directions. When they saw the head of Qianneng, those rebels were stunned for a moment, and then they heard the sound of Qianneng ambushing, and they hesitated. As the first rebel to drop his weapon appeared, the other rebels threw down their weapons one after another, and Qian Neng died, and they continued to resist only to die.
The first phase of a counterinsurgency that would have lasted a long time came to an end. Li Ye also underestimated the power of his more than 1,000 cavalry, in front of the rebels who had no cavalry, more than 1,000 cavalry were like those soldiers in World War I who saw tanks, they were frightened, where did they still have the courage to resist. And after Li Ye personally killed the leader of the rebels, the morale of the rebels fell directly to the bottom, and the outcome of this battle was already doomed.
By the time Liu Qi and Li Hong arrived with their infantry, although the battle was still going on, the resistance of the rebels was very low, and they basically came to the end. Although there are still many rebels under the city of Shuzhou, Qiongzhou and Yazhou, it only takes time to slowly pacify, a large number of rebels have been eliminated, and it is difficult for the rest to make big waves.
In this battle, the Tiance army defeated tens of thousands of rebels with less than 300 casualties, which can be described as a complete victory. Although the casualties of the Tiance army were small, Yue Changxu's army suffered a lot of losses, with more than 1,000 casualties, and several wounds themselves.
In this battle, not counting Yue Changxu's troops, a total of more than 3,000 rebels were killed, more than 7,000 people were captured, and another 1,000 escaped.
"Sin General Yue Chi, see His Royal Highness King Shou!"
After the battle, Yue Changxu came to Li Ye on foot, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded guilty to Li Ye.
"General Yue, please get up, this battle can defeat the rebels, and General Yue has made great contributions." Li Ye smiled, and at the same time was a little curious, "Isn't General Yue's name Yue Changxu?" ”
Yue Changxu lowered his head and explained, "Back to His Highness, the name of the guilty general, 'Changxu' is just the word of the guilty general. ”
After answering, Yue Changxu raised his head slightly and glanced at the Shouwang in front of him, and found that the other party was really young, I heard that the other party was only 15 years old, and he didn't know if it was true or not, if it was true, he would have to obey the old age. From just these few words, he can see that this Shouwang is not an ordinary person, his bearing is extraordinary, and he is quite recognized by the soldiers, which is like the child who does not understand military affairs as the rebels said before.
"I see!" Li Ye suddenly realized, and he didn't know why they all called each other's words, not their names, and when he saw the other party standing there quietly, he said with a smile, "I think General Yue is worried that this king will break his promise and cross the river and tear down the bridge, right?" ”
Although Yue Changxu was surprised in his heart, he quickly explained, "The sin will not dare." Yue is a criminal general, and he was committed to the rebels before, His Royal Highness does not investigate the guilt of the criminal general, it is already an extrajudicial grace, how dare the criminal general have other extravagant desires. ”
"Don't be so afraid, this king is also a man of his word, and he will not break his word. However, how to arrange General Yue, this king has other considerations, but it will definitely not be just a general of Shangzhen, with the credit of General Yue, a general of Shangzhen will be subservient.
General Yue will have a good rest later, and the appointment will be issued later. ”
"Your Highness!" Although Yue Changxu still had doubts in his heart, since Li Ye said it so clearly, he would not backtrack, and there were many people around listening to it.
After temporarily pacifying Yue Changxu, Li Ye left Liu Qi and Li Hong to lead the army to clean up the battlefield, and he led his own soldiers and cavalry to Shuzhou quickly. Because the news of the ambush and the defeat of the rebels had reached the rebels in Shuzhou, although there were thousands of people, after seeing the cavalry led by Li Ye, they scattered and fled.
The escape of the rebels outside Shuzhou also means that Shuzhou, which has been surrounded for more than ten days, has finally been lifted. Knowing that Li Ye personally led the army to relieve the siege, Sun Chen, the assassin of Shuzhou, immediately led a group of officials in the city to the gate of the city to greet him.
And the first thing Li Ye did when he entered Shuzhou was to take Yang Xingqian!
