Li Jiancheng said nervously: "Zong Luohu is not a small fish and shrimp, he is a few fierce generals under Xue Ju's command, last June Huangfu commanded 10,000 elite Sui soldiers, ready for battle, Xue Ju 2,000 soldiers and horses won more with less, almost all annihilated, this Zong Luohu personally 300 dead soldiers, braving the rain of arrows to charge, dozens of arrows in the battle, but fighting to the death did not retreat, the first to kill into Paohan City, Sanniang, you have to think clearly." Can 500 soldiers do it? ”

Li Xiuning looked at Li Jiancheng and sighed secretly: "If Erlang was here, he would never say this!" ”

Li Jiancheng was dumbfounded.

"If you lose, you won't lose the battle, even if you raise the enemy's momentum and destroy your own prestige!" Li Xiuning said: "Big brother is waiting for my good news!" ”

Li Xiuning held the fish talisman given to her by Li Yuan (because of the avoidance of Li Hu's tiger character, the Tang Dynasty changed the tiger talisman to a fish talisman. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, because of the avoidance of the people's words, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was changed to the Ministry of Households), ordered all the soldiers, traveled lightly, and only brought three days of dry food.

Half an hour later, Li Xiuning led his troops towards Jingyang.

Li Xiuning's five hundred soldiers and horses, although well-equipped, but definitely not elite troops, the two hundred guards of Pingyang Princess Mansion and Qin Wangfu are okay, more or less veterans who have seen blood, but the six guards of the East Palace are good, and the guards of Zhao Wangfu are all honor guard troops, but it is such a rabble of troops, Li Xiuning still marched towards Jingyang without hesitation.

After Lang Zhong's scrambling rescue, Chen Ying still came to his senses half an hour later, but fortunately, Chen Ying was fine, but because of excessive blood loss and physical exhaustion.

"What about the casualties?" The first thing Chen Ying said when he woke up was to ask Zhang Huaiwei, who was anxious on the side, in a hoarse voice.

Chen Ying can imagine that a group of hardly trained peasants, even if they have some weapons in their hands, will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Zhang Huaiwei's eyes instantly turned red, and he choked up: "The sixth son is gone, Lao Qiu is also disabled, except for Lao Youzi, everyone else is injured." ”

Chen Ying vaguely remembered that the sixth son Guo Xuan, who was the original defender of Tongguan in the Sui Dynasty, after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty with Qu Tutong, was reorganized into Liu Hongji's department, and Liu Hongji's whole army was defeated in the Battle of Shallow Water Plateau, Guo Xuan's escape, and was organized as Zhang Huaiwei's gang when Jingyang was reorganized, and he was also an honest person, and the only one in the whole gang who never bullied himself.

Chen Ying said secretly: "It's really a good person who doesn't live long, and the scourge lives for a thousand years." ”

Chen Yingdao: "What about the casualties of the people? ”

Zhang Huaiwei subconsciously said: "I don't know, there should be four or five hundred people missing, and more than a thousand injured!" ”

In the first war, the Tang Army Jingyang defenders were a team of 50 people, and so far there are six people, and one of them is disabled. Even if he used his own strategy, he also caused nearly 1,500 civilian casualties, although he annihilated more than 2,000 people of the Western Qin army, but this astonishing casualty figure also made all the survivors clench their fists, and the joy brought by the victory was also diluted a lot.

Chen Ying vaguely heard the sound of bitter sobs all over the city......

Most of these people who died were Jingyang people, and the dead were their relatives, neighbors and companions, and their friends day and night......

Chen Ying's eyes trembled slightly, and he forcibly suppressed his emotions, and his voice was low: "Now is not the time to be sad, this is just the vanguard of the Western Qin Army, if the reinforcements do not arrive, we can't relax for a moment." Now form the people, immediately clean up the battlefield, peel off the armor on the corpse of the Western Qin army, and repair it if it can, and barely wear it on the body if it can't be repaired, in short, there is always better than nothing......"

Zhang Huaiwei was just a gang leader, and he suddenly ran out of ideas.

Chen Ying looked at Zhang Huaiwei's helpless appearance and couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Yingchong Zhang Huaiwei said: "Help me up!" ”

"Da Lang, your injury!"

"I can't die yet!" Chen Yingdao: "Is Jingyang County Ling still alive?" If he is still alive, let him come out to preside over the overall situation, and if he has escaped, or is dead, notify the gentry of Jingyang County and let them nominate a person who can take charge of the affairs to come out. ”

Half an hour later, Zhang Huaiwei asked people to find a door panel and carried Chen Ying slowly to the county government of Jingyang County.

As soon as he came to the county office, Chen Ying saw that there were still three or four arrows on the plaque of the county office, and there were mottled blood stains and traces of knives and axes on the walls and ground.

Needless to say, the Western Qin army had already taken the county government when it stormed into Jingyang.

When Zhang Huaiwei walked to the inner hall of the county ya, there were already more than a dozen well-dressed gentry kneeling in the hall. Seeing Chen Ying coming, everyone got up neatly and saluted.

Chen Ying didn't bother to speak, and said straight to the point: "Let's not say much polite words, you are all famous figures in Jingyang City, you must have seen a lot of knowledge, now let's discuss, what should Jingyang County do?" ”

An old man in his fifties said, "Chen Dalang, what do you say, just do it?" ”

This is a big household in Jingyang County, surnamed Qin Minggu, and the word Zijian. Jingyang Qin is a branch of Tianshui Qin, in the Eastern Han Dynasty was still a wealthy family, called Wanshi Tianshui (the fifth generation of provincial officials), but with the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties gradually declined.

Everyone got up and agreed.

Now that they Jingyang County has killed the Yixing Wang Zong Luohu of Western Qin and more than 2,000 soldiers under his command, with Xue Renguo's character of protecting the calf, he will definitely not let go of anyone in Jingyang City, in fact, at this time, the gentry of Jingyang and the people of the whole city were tied to his chariot by Chen Ying, and they had to follow Chen Ying all the way to the dark.

When Chen Ying first started, he was indeed filled with righteous indignation, and he acted out of righteous indignation. But as everything developed in the direction he expected, he had to think about using the great achievement of Shoujingyang to find a qualification for himself.

Although Chen Ying is not very familiar with the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the general trend of the world is still very clear, the Tang Dynasty will definitely unify the world, and the Western Qin is definitely a rabbit's tail and cannot grow.

Chen Yingdao: "Since everyone is willing to take the lead, then please don't be half-hearted, play any tricks, and work together to protect our common home is our only way out!" ”

Qin Gu said: "Chen Dalang, please command, don't dare to disobey!" ”

"That's good!" Chen Ying was not polite, and said directly: "Once the city is broken, the worst losses are not those small people, but the incumbents, those ordinary people have almost no overnight food at home, and the first of the Western Qin army is the rich households." In order to protect our homeland, we must now do three things, first of all, we must organize young and strong people to form an army to protect their families. There are almost more than 2,000 pairs of armor left by the Western Qin army in Jingyang, except for those that cannot be used, let's form 1,500 people first. The whole battalion is divided into three regiments, with five people as a team, ten people as a group, five tithes for a team, two teams for a brigade, five brigades for a regiment, the establishment of three township Yong battalions, respectively with myself and Zhang Huaiwei and You Ziying, respectively temporarily served as the captain of the school. ”
