Chapter 181 Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chen Cang

Densely packed, four or five thousand Xia archers took turns shooting arrows at the hillside, although they attacked upwards from below, and suffered a great loss. However, the number of Li Shentong's troops of the Tang Army suffered a big loss, and the archers of the Tang Army of the two teams also took the lives of dozens of soldiers of the Xia Army with each row of arrows.

However, dozens of casualties were not even a drizzle for the officers and men of the Xia army. On the contrary, when the Xia army's dense arrows shot towards the top of the mountain, it was like a violent storm on the top of the mountain. The soldiers of the Don Army had been driven into the abyss of despair at this time.

At this time, they got up and counterattacked, no matter how fast they moved, but under the attack of dense arrows like rain, they were simply the target of the Xia army archers, and under these Xia army archers taking turns to release arrows, they did not know how many people would die.

What's even more terrifying is that the sound of tearing and killing sounded in the back, and the Tang Army soldier who was hesitating whether to abandon his weapon was pierced by a shot and thrown into the abyss under the mountain. In the desperate gaze of the soldiers of the Tang Army, the terrifying Xia Army's horizontal knife hands appeared behind them, these Xia Army soldiers were holding horizontal knives, hanging their heads from their waists, covered in blood, and they looked more and more terrifying under the firelight, like demons drilled out of hell.

This time, the soldiers of the Tang cavalry did not even have the strength to struggle, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies were stiff, and they were pestle there, learning from Li Shentong's appearance, motionless, and their faces were still desperate in addition to despair.

Liu Jintang laughed and said: "I said, you can't beat me, and you can't escape, now you should believe it, right?" With a spear, his voice became cold: "Flee immediately, otherwise no one will want to live!" ”

Tens of thousands of Xia soldiers shouted in unison: "Surrender immediately!" ”

The sound is like thunder, as if there are layers of sound waves like substance in the air, which is really terrifying!

Li Shentong finally had a move, his movements were even a few points more agile than the spirit monkey, he quickly took off his saber, threw it on the ground, his liver and gall were broken, and he hissed: "We are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender ......"

Under the coercion of thousands of strong bows, the surviving Tang soldiers honestly walked down the hillside, laid down their weapons according to the orders of the Xia army soldiers, squatted down with their heads in their hands, and did not dare to come out. This one-sided bloody battle had already scared them to the core, and in their eyes, these Xia soldiers were simply the embodiment of demons, and no one dared to touch their moldy heads.

After determining that all the Tang soldiers on the mountain were escorted to the bottom of the mountain, the honor guard of Dou Jiande, the Xia lord from afar, came from afar, and the first thing that caught his eye was two door flags, one of which was a red-clothed soldier holding a door flag, and twenty-four people in the same red-clothed armor were holding bows and arrows to guard the door flag.

After the two door flags, there is the guide to welcome music, first two play bamboos, then six music pipes, four seven-hole flutes, two shengs, two cloud gongs, a guide drum and a pair of clappers. In turn, there are four royal staffs, four Wu battles, four standing melons, lying melons, stars, and Yue, ten five-color golden dragon flags, ten five-color dragon flags, ten double-dragon yellow fans, ten yellow nine dragon umbrellas, and a nine-dragon crank yellow canopy, followed by Dou Jiande's footsteps, Dou Jiande's chariot is followed by a saber and a gun and a guard.

Liu Jintang greeted him, and all the soldiers bowed down together: "The ministers welcome the holy driver, and the holy driver is safe!" ”

Dou Jiande stepped down from the chariot and gave Liu Jintang a thumbs up: "Jintang, well done!" ”

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, this is the duty of the minister!" When Liu Jintang heard Dou Jiande's praise, it was like eating honey, and his limbs and bones were indescribably comfortable.

Dou Jiande looked at Li Shendao, whose body was trembling, but there was still a trace of dispute in his eyes: "Why are you bothering? ”

"Lord Xia doesn't need to persuade again, the supernatural powers will not descend!" Li Shentong said in a panic for a while: "As a member of the Tang Dynasty, Shentong ordered to give up resistance, but he didn't want to add to the killing, the sky has the virtue of a good life, why should the Lord of Xia be strong!" ”

"People are all cheap bones, it is better to drive them to righteousness than to drive them to profit, and it is better to drive them to profit than to drive them to fear." Liu Jintang said loudly: "If benevolence and righteousness can be invincible, it will not be Qin Shihuang but Confucius who won the world back then." ”

Liu Jintang looked at him and was about to speak, but he heard someone say: "No, no!" ”

Dou Jiande followed the prestige, only to see that it was none other than Ling Jing who spoke.

"No?" Not only Liu Jintang, but even Dou Jiande is also a little strange, since Li Shentong is unwilling to descend, does he still have to stay to nourish his fat?

Ling Jing said: "Your Majesty is worried about the problem of military rations?" In terms of grain and grass, Liyang still has some savings. These were originally the stocks of the Great Cause, although now they are less than one-tenth of the previous ones, the last time I went to Chang'an, I accidentally learned from Li Shiji that there are 600,000 stone of new grain in Liyang Cang, which was originally prepared by Lord Li to relieve the disaster in Hedong, and 600,000 stone of grain is enough for His Majesty's 100,000 troops for 200 days. In the short term, we can ignore the food problem for the time being. ”

Dou Jiande was puzzled: "What does this have to do with whether or not to kill Li Shentong?" ”

Ling Jing said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, now it is Li Shiji, the general of Zuo Wuwei, who is guarding Liyang City. ”

"Li Shiji?" Dou Jiande said disapprehantly: "Just Li Shiji, an unknown person, what a ...... way"

Liu Jintang bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is not talented, and the last general is willing to lead a light soldier to ride five thousand and capture Liyang for Your Majesty!" ”

Ling Jing said: "This Li Shiji is not an unknown person, he is Xu Shiji of Li Mi's old department, and he was given the surname Li by the lord of Tang State, so he changed his name to Li Shiji!" ”

"It's him!" Dou Jiande hesitated, looked at Li Shentong, and suddenly realized.

……

Liyang City, drizzling, Li Shiji stood on the city pass, looking at the east, and his heart was faintly bad. As Chen Ying analyzed, refugees are the army's early warning, and it can be inferred that the rout of the army is also an early warning. Li Shiji, who was in Liyang, had already encountered the rout of the Tang army sporadically, but there were no high-ranking generals in these routs, and he couldn't even tell the accurate news of the Xia army.

But at this moment, the sound of hooves suddenly rose, hundreds of cavalry galloped from east to west, muddy water splashed high, a big banner was also tattered, Li Shiji squinted his eyes, only to see that the cavalry armor was not neat, the clothes were dirty and tattered, and he was embarrassed, he was relieved in his heart, thank God, his own people!

However, in order to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to infiltrate Liyang City, Li Shiji did not order the city gate to be opened, but directly led two regiments of Tang cavalry to rush towards this group of cavalry.

Li Shentong's expression at this time was as entangled as constipation, a delicate-faced general on his left, his helmet was gone, and his head was tied with a blood-colored bandage, drooping and looking listless.

However, the general's eyes burst out with terrifying anger.

"Li Shentong, you have thought clearly, this rope in my hand is dipped in the snake venom of the golden thread snake, as long as it cuts through a little bit of your skin, you will go to see the king of Hades within half a pillar of incense!"

If you look closely, you will find that there is also a looming silk thread on Li Shentong's body, one end of which is tied to Li Shentong's body and the other end is tied to Liu Jintang's knife handle.

Looking at Li Shiji getting closer and closer, Li Shentong said in a sharp voice: "General Li, General Li ......"

Li Shiji followed the voice and looked at it, only to see that the left servant of the Hebei Provincial Xingtai Shangshu shot, and the Shandong Provincial pacification envoy, covered in blood, the helmet was gone, and he was extremely embarrassed, and he shouted when he hit the old man, and his voice trembled, as if the tiger behind him was chasing him.

Li Shiji hurriedly caught up and asked loudly: "Dashuai, what's wrong?" ”

Li Shentong strangled the war horse in embarrassment, his chest rose and fell sharply, like a bellows, and cried out: "General Li, I finally saw you, I thought I would never see you again in this life!" ”

Li Shiji knew that Li Shentong was defeated, but he never thought that he would be defeated so badly, Li Shiji said with a gloomy expression: "Dashuai, where have you been these days?" Why haven't I heard from you all this time? ”

Li Shentong said with a frightened expression: "Don't mention it! On the same day, our army was defeated in Xiangzhou, and I took thousands of remnants of the defeated army to break through desperately, and the Xia army was chasing after it, and I couldn't get rid of it! I wanted to use the terrain of Lin Shu Mountain to fight an ambush, but who knew that one of them was killed

share, Xia Jun caught up again, there was no choice but to continue to escape...... I don't even know how I survived these days! ”

Li Shiji's face changed slightly, and he said: "What does the big guy mean is that those black dogs have been chasing and killing the big handsome?" ”

Li Shentong said hatefully: "Isn't it! Like maggots stuck to bones, I can't shake them off, and if they fall into my hands, I won't ......."

At this moment, Li Shiji's eyes looked at Liu Jintang behind Li Shentong, Li Shiji suddenly pulled out his knife, pointed at Liu Jintang and said, "This brother is ruthless, what do you call it?" ”

The cavalry under Li Shiji's command also drew their swords one after another, arched their arrows, and aimed at Li Shentong and the defeated generals of the remnants of the army.

Liu Jintang hadn't figured out how to answer, but at this moment, there was a faint sound of a long bullhorn in the distance, and the thick and desolate horn made everyone's heartstrings tense.

Li Shiji followed the prestige.

......After a few moments, the horn sounded again, this time much louder, the ground shook slightly, and a gray wave spread from behind the horizon, and the iron armor and the spear flickered in the drizzle.

"They're coming after you!" Li Shentong's expression was frightened, and he lost his voice: "They ...... Here they are again! It's coming so fast! ”

The soldiers of Li Shentong's department exclaimed in shock: "Run, otherwise you will die!" ”

It's just that they can't be still, the soldiers under Li Shiji's command have already surrounded Li Shentong's troops, Li Shiji smiled slightly and said: "What kind of ability is it to hide your head and show your tail, if you want to deceive the general, there is no gate." ”

Liu Jintang laughed and said: "It is said that Xu Shiji is cautious and careful, and he really deserves his reputation." ”

Li Shiji arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the praise, I dare not be ashamed!" ”

Liu Jintang laughed and said, "Xu Shiji, do you think you won?" ”

Li Shiji said: "Of course, the Xia army has arrived here, and General Ben still has time to kill you, put down your blades and surrender!" ”

Liu Jintang said to Li Shijinunu: "Why didn't General Xu look behind him?" ”

Li Shiji turned his head, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

I didn't know what time it was, a violent killing shout sounded in the direction of Liyang Cangcheng, accompanied by the killing shout, there was also the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, stepping on the earth, it seemed to be rushing towards here.

Li Shiji's face suddenly darkened.

I'm very sorry, I went to Xinyang yesterday for some things, and I just came back today. There will be more later!
