Chapter 8 The head of Datang Jingyang

Morale cannot be lost, and once morale is lost, no matter how large the number is, it is just a herd of sheep to be slaughtered. Chen Ying repeatedly told Jingyang Township the idea of Yongying to protect the family and defend the country.

Let them understand why they are fighting and why they are fighting.

Chen Ying did not waste any opportunity to train the soldiers of the Jingyang Township Yong Battalion, and even the corpses of the soldiers of the Western Qin Army who were killed by the people of Jingyang were also fully utilized by him, and he personally dragged his tired body and took the Jingyang Township Yong Battalion for training.

"Poof"

A soldier of the Yongying Battalion of Jingyang Township held a horizontal knife with trembling hands, and tremblingly cut off the head of a soldier of the Western Qin Army.

Chen Ying shouted behind this recruit of the Xiangyong Battalion: "Don't waste the corpses of the Western Qin soldiers in the city, this is all money, let's marinate it with quicklime first, and we can exchange money with the imperial court in the future!" ”

A warrior soldier of Jingyang Township holding a wooden spear trembled, but he didn't dare to stab at the bloody corpse.

"Think clearly, if you coax, what will happen to your parents? What about your sisters? What about the food in your house? Chen Ying stared at the soldier fiercely and shouted: "Your family's food and money will be robbed by them, your father's relatives will be killed by them like chickens and cows, and your sisters, wives and daughters will also be insulted by them, life is better than death!" ”

"Ahh

The face of the township warrior who was stimulated by Chen Ying became hideous, and he screamed, and stabbed the corpse fiercely with a wooden spear.

Zhang Huaiwei was very dissatisfied with this group of recruits from the Xiangyong Battalion, and complained to Chen Ying: "Chen Dalang, these recruits are too bad, not a little worse than our old brothers......

"There's no way around it, it's better than nothing!" Chen Yingdao: "I hope God is on our side and let the reinforcements of the Western Qin Army come late, otherwise, it's really hard to say what to do next!" ”

Zhang Huaiwei said: "Many of them have never seen blood, and they are afraid that they will pee their pants when they go to the battlefield......

"Wetting your pants is nothing!" Chen Ying said with an unnatural expression: "I'm used to peeing." Zhang Tou, I pondered, let's use the jack gate in Jingyang City first, and pit the Western Qin soldiers to come in......"

The so-called jack gate is a kind of mechanism in ancient defense, used to suddenly drop this sluice gate when the city gate is breached, or when it is too late to close the city gate, this is actually a gate, usually made of iron wrapped wood, and the weight is usually thousands of catties away.

Zhang Huaiwei thought for a while and said, "Do you want to add some material to them and dig a trap at the inner city gate?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "Of course! ”

Under the command of Chen Ying, the people of Jingyang City cleaned up the battlefield and treated the wounded, while setting up traps in the city, especially on the streets in the city.

……

"Drive, drive, drive......"

Pingyang princess Li Xiuning whipped the war horse from time to time, although the war horse was already galloping, but Li Xiuning still felt that the speed was not fast enough. The Tang soldiers who followed behind ran out of breath and complained bitterly.

To Li Xiuning's surprise, the soldiers of the Sixth Guards of the East Palace and the Servants of the Zhao Palace, who had barely been trained, did not have the door to vacate, but the Qin Wangfu guards, who should not have made a fuss, took the lead in blowing up the stab.

"Raising troops in anger is a taboo for soldiers!"

"If you run to Jingyang like this, even if you are not killed by the enemy, you will be exhausted to death!"

"That's it, that's it...... A girl, what military strategy do you know! ”

"Don't run, don't run!"

When Li Xiuning heard the commotion of the army behind him, the guards of the Qin Palace's pro-guards threw off their armor and lay on the ground, crying bitterly.

Li Xiuning raised her eyebrows and asked her henchman Ma Sanbao, "Did Sanbao see it clearly?" Who's stirring the trouble? ”

Ma Sanbao said in a low voice: "Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I have already seen clearly, it is Liu Jiale who is the right leader of the Qin Palace!" ”

Li Xiuning nodded: "Second brother's person, how could it be him." ”

Ma Sanbao said: "He is Liu Wenjing's nephew!" ”

"That makes sense!" Li Xiuning frowned and said.

Ma Sanbao said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin suffered a defeat in the shallow water plateau, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin could not serve due to illness, the culprit is him Liu Wenjing, if His Royal Highness the princess is allowed to relieve the siege of Jingyang with five hundred soldiers and horses, his Liu Wenjing's old face will be separated, and Liu Wenjing's selfishness can be smelled from ten miles away!" ”

Li Xiuning's face was cold, and he said to Ma Sanbao: "Take it for me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Sanbao rushed to Liu Jiale's side like a gust of wind, and before Liu Jiale could react, Ma Sanbao buckled Liu Jiale's arm, Ma Sanbao used a slight force, and Liu Jiale grinned and roared: "Ma Sanbao, you are so damn brave, do you know who I am?" ”

Ma Sanbao couldn't help but say, and dragged Liu Jiale to Li Xiuning to follow.

Li Xiuning stared at Liu Jiale, who was unruly in his eyes, and said simply: "Good tongue and sharp teeth, acting recklessly, this is called a slow army; On the occasion of calling, the tongue should not be stammered, this is a ruthless army, slash! ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Sanbao drew the knife neatly, and the knife fell in his hand, and with a click, a human head rolled into the dust.

The generals were suddenly shocked, and they looked at each other one by one, and their faces turned pale.

Li Xiuning's face was as usual: "Rectify the army and pull out!" ”

Li Xiuning killed Liu Jiale cleanly, and the soldiers didn't dare to complain even if they had all kinds of complaints. After all, although Liu Jiale has an uncle who is the prime minister of the dynasty, he will inevitably be killed, as long as they dare to blow up the assassination, they will definitely die an ugly death. ”

In the evening of the same day, the tired 500 soldiers finally arrived outside the east gate of Jingyang. Looking at the darkness of the city, there was not even the sound of chickens and dogs barking, it was completely like a ghost town.

Ma Sanbao frowned and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, is there a mistake in the intelligence, the Western Qin Army did not capture Jingyang City!" ”

Xue Wanche, the right guard of the East Palace, said: "How can you not capture Jingyang, fifty guards, they can hold out for an hour, they are considered capable!" ”

"Shut up!" Li Xiuning shouted: "Camp on the spot, the whole army rests!" ”

Just when Li Xiuning led the army to retreat slowly, the head of Jingyang City was suddenly brightly lit, like daylight, and hundreds of soldiers wearing the armor of the Western Qin Army were holding swords and guns, standing on the city wall, the knives were unsheathed, and the arrows were wound, as if facing a great enemy.

Chen Ying saw that the person coming from the direction of Chang'an, and he was not sure whether it was the Western Qin army or the Tang army, and when he saw that the other party's small wing was about to retreat, he shouted loudly: "Who is coming!" ”

Ma Sanbao stepped forward immediately, came to a hundred steps away from the city, and replied loudly: "I am Ma Sanbao, the pioneer under Princess Pingyang!" ”

Chen Ying seemed to remember that Ma Sanbao was the head of the four strong generals of Princess Pingyang, and it was not strange for the Western Qin Army to know Ma Sanbao.

Just when Chen Ying didn't know what to do, Princess Pingyang rode a horse to the city and said, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Zong Luohu doesn't seem to be so young, right? ”

Chen Ying said: "I am Chen Ying, the head of Datang Jingyang. ”
