Four hundred thirty-one and eighteen cavalry siege the city

As soon as Li Jing's army landed, scouts sent in advance to spread rumors rushed from Wang Jiancheng to report the news.

"Governor Qiyu, I infiltrated the Tang capital three days ago to spread the news that Zhang Zhongjian would rebel in Goguryeo, and the news spread from the Tang capital to the territory of the original Goguryeo, and Zhang Zhongjian was forced to raise troops in advance. Li Yuan had already sent his right general Jin Ce to march north with 20,000 troops at noon yesterday, and it was estimated that he had left the Tang capital for 1560 li at this moment. At present, the Tang capital is empty, and there are only 20,000 defenders in Wang Jian City! ”

Li Jing smiled: "Haha...... It seems that Li Yuan is just like this, he actually fell so lightly for the governor's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the Tang State was able to sweep the entire peninsula, I think most of it is due to Li Shimin, right? ”

All the generals praised in unison: "The Governor is clever, that is, Han Xin is reincarnated, and he is resurrected in vain, and that's it!" ”

"The generals have praised it, how can Ben Du He De dare to compare with the two famous generals?" Li Jing shook his hand modestly, without any smugness, "I want to come to the Tang Kingdom just to turn into a foreign barbarian state, and there are very few people who are familiar with military books!" ”

immediately changed to a stern face, and ordered loudly: "Where is Li Cunxiao?" ”

"The last general will obey the order!" Li Cunxiao was overjoyed and went out to receive the order.

"Order you to lead three thousand light horsemen to serve as the vanguard, and under the guidance of the guide, march at full speed and attack the west gate of Wang Jian City overnight!" Li Jing issued a talisman and gave Li Cunxiao an order.

"The last general only needs a hundred elite riders!" Although Li Cunxiao accepted Li Jing's task, there were disagreements in the number of troops.

"A hundred rides?"

All the generals present looked at each other, should this Li Dudu's brother be fighting and playing? Although the Tang capital is empty, there are at least 20,000 people. Do you take a hundred riders to stuff people's teeth?

Li Cunxiao explained: "Of course, this hundred cavalry needs to be personally selected from 15,000 cavalry. War horses should be the fastest, and warriors should be the best in riding! ”

"War is not child's play. Although the foolish brother also knows that you are skilled, what can a hundred horsemen do? No matter how elite you are, more than 10,000 crossbowmen will shoot arrows indiscriminately, and you will be killed and wounded, right? Li Jing was patient and discussed with Li Cunxiao with a pleasant face.

Li Cunxiao was still stubborn, and argued: "From where our army is landing now, it is only one hundred and thirty miles away from Tangdu, and it will take about two and a half hours for ordinary cavalry to arrive. And if I give the last general a hundred horses, I can kill the Tang capital within an hour and a half. If there are too many troops. It will definitely make the Tang army aware that it will be closed and guarded, and if it wants to break the city, it will inevitably cause casualties. And if you only give the last general a hundred fine horses, you can quietly kill Wang Jiancheng and catch the Tang army off guard. The last general promised that in the next hour, he would knock on the four gates of the Tang capital, cut down the suspension bridge, and destroy the city gates. In this way, the army that arrived later could enter the Tang capital without blood! ”

Li Jing's eyes were slightly closed, his brows were furrowed, and he muttered: "If there are only a hundred horses, the target is naturally much smaller." It can be easily approached under the Tang capital. But how much combat power does a hundred horsemen have, even if the gate of the Tang capital is open and you are allowed to enter the city. And how? ”

Li Cunxiao patted his chest and said with great ambition: "There is no joke in the army. The last general made a military order in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, if he couldn't say it, he would do it. May it be dealt with by military law! ”

Li Cunxiao has already said it to this point, Li Jing didn't say anything anymore, and finally bowed slightly: "Since you voluntarily made a military order, you will fulfill your brother This time, see how capable you are?" If you boast about Haikou and delay the major military aircraft, the governor will definitely deal with it by military law! ”

"Xie Dudu is complete!"

Li Cunxiao agreed, turned around with his head held high, and chose a candidate who met his requirements from among the 15,000 cavalry.

After a while, Li Cunxiao selected a hundred fine horses, and under the guidance of the guide, he quickly whipped up the horses and left the dust.

Although Li Cunxiao swore an oath, Li Jing was still a little worried, and ordered Gao Gao and Yujuluo: "Order the two of you to each lead 5,000 cavalry and follow Li Cunxiao's steps to kill the Tang capital." If Li Cunxiao can really destroy the four gates, the two of you will divide the team into two, block the four gates of Wang Jiancheng, and after the general leads his troops to kill, he will completely annihilate the Tang army in Wang Jiancheng. If Li Cunxiao can't open the four gates, the two of you will surround the three gates, block the three city gates in the west, north and east, and leave the south gate for the Tang army to escape! ”

"Order!"

Yu Juluo and Gao Gao took the order together, took the talisman, and strode away.

"Mulan obeys?" Li Jing sent another talisman, "Order you to lead the remaining cavalry to hurry to the south gate of Wang Jiancheng, and choose dangerous terrain to set up an ambush." If the Tang army goes out of the city, they will cover it with all their might, and they must not leave Li Yuan! ”

"Mulan takes orders!"

Hua Mulan was very pleased with Li Jing's trust, took the talisman with a smile on her face, and led the troops away.

Li Jing bowed his hand to Zheng Chenggong again: "General Chenggong led 5,000 men and horses to garrison the shore and protect the ship with the boatman. If there is an emergency military situation, immediately send an envoy to Wang Jiancheng to inform him, and Jing will definitely order the cavalry to rush back to help! ”

"Don't worry, with me Zheng Sen here, I will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai!" Zheng Chenggong patted his chest confidently and made a military order.

After the deployment of troops was completed, the sound of horses' hooves was loud and dusty for a while.

Li Jing and Xu Sheng led 25,000 foot soldiers, each carrying five days' dry rations, and traveled lightly, following the pace of the three-way cavalry, and marched rapidly towards Wang Jiancheng, one hundred and thirty miles to the north.

The night is like ink, the sound of insects everywhere, and the frogs on both sides of the post road are one after another, and the noise is endless.

But as more than 100 elite horsemen swept by, the frogs, crickets and other creatures in the ditch and clump instantly stopped chirping, as if they were shocked by the soaring murderous aura of this team.

At the same time, in Jinling, which is 3,000 miles away, Liu Wei, who had just finished reviewing the recital, sounded in his mind: "Ding Dong...... The system prompts that Li Cunxiao's 'fine horse' attribute is activated, and the force value is +5, and the current force value has risen to 110., and the command rate is +10, and the current command value has risen to 98! The combat effectiveness of the subordinate cavalry has increased, and the riding skills have increased! ”

Four or five days ago, Liu Wei had already received Li Jing's plan to take revenge on Li Tang across the sea, and when he heard the prompt sound of the system, his heart suddenly became excited, and the blood flow accelerated a lot: "Haha...... That's great! Those who commit me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away! Happiness and revenge, that's it! Ten years of revenge is too late, seize the day! Li Cunxiao's command increased by 10 points all of a sudden, it seems that the cavalry under his command does not exceed 100 people, is it possible to stage the scene of 18 cavalry breaking Chang'an again? ”

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and a hundred horsemen galloped like flying under the guidance of Li Cunxiao, and the knights on the horses all felt that they were in a good state, and they were in a hurry late at night, and they were at ease.

Nearly an hour and a half later, the huge Wang Jiancheng was already looming in sight.

At this moment, it is about 11 o'clock in the evening before Liu Wei crosses, and the lights in the city are still brilliant at this moment, and it seems that many dignitaries and nobles are singing and feasting at night, looking for fun.

The four gates of Wang Jiancheng have been closed, and the drawbridge has been pulled up. Because Zhang Zhongjian rebelled in Goguryeo, Wang Jiancheng's vigilance was much stronger than a few days ago, and at this moment there were at least more than 1,000 Tang soldiers patrolling around each city gate, and the torches were bright, and the shining city wall was bright.

"Stop!"

When he was about three miles away from Wang Jiancheng, Li Cunxiao raised Bi Yanlao, who was in his left hand, and gave a loud order.

With Li Cunxiao's order, a hundred cavalrymen stopped at the same time, the formation was neat and orderly, waiting for the commander's orders.

"A few days ago, Tang Kou went deep into Jinling, then Li Yuanba killed my five thousand brothers with a double hammer, how could my Heavenly Empire be humiliated like this? Vow a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye! I, Li Cunxiao, will send ...... twice as much today."

Speaking of this, Li Cunxiao's legs clamped the Huang Bi Bone Penetrating Dragon under his crotch, and the weapon moved, "Those who have the guts, come with me!" It only takes eighteen rides, and after breaking the door, the others will follow! ”

Feeling by Li Cunxiao, eighteen elite soldiers with strong blood and strength each held a gun and straddled their horses, raised their whips forward, and followed the sound of Li Cunxiao's horses' hooves and galloped towards Wang Jiancheng.

At the same time, two Tang scouts galloped down the city from another post road, and at the same time shouted on their horses: "Oh no, no, I'll find a large number of Han ......."

"Whoosh ......"

With Li Cunxiao's Bi Yan Laos's move, eighteen knights bent their bows and arrows at the same time in the gallop, and the eighteen arrows burst out like meteors, instantly shooting the two scouts who reported the news off their horses.

"Oh no, who's coming? Stop! ”

The captain on night duty at the head of the city was taken aback, and immediately gathered at the head of the city with crossbowmen and shouted loudly to the city.

Li Cunxiao didn't answer, ignored it, and still galloped forward on his horse.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Seeing that these nineteen horsemen were menacing, the captain of the Tang Military Academy knew that the comer was not good, so he waved his hand and ordered the arrows to be released.

Li Cunxiao roared on his horse, and a pair of weapons swung impenetrable, knocking down the raindrops of crossbow arrows to the ground. Seeing that the master was so brave, the eighteen knights behind him all fought bravely, each competing for the lead, waving the spears in their hands one by one, and charging forward in the rain of arrows.

Li Cunxiao was fast, and in a blink of an eye, he threw off the eighteen horsemen far away and killed them to the side of the moat.

"Up!"

In the midst of galloping, Li Cunxiao suddenly took the reins and shouted.

The four hooves of the yellow horse through the bone dragon soared into the air, rose from the ground, jumped several zhang in an instant, skimmed the moat of nearly three zhang in the air, and fell under the city wall as steadily as Mount Tai.

The more than 1,000 Tang soldiers in the city were a little stunned in an instant, what kind of person is this? He actually came to attack the city with a dozen people, and the horse flew over the moat, is this a god descending to earth or an enemy attacking? In the past, the king of his own Xifu often did this kind of thing, often carrying a hammer alone, crossing the moat to burst the door, I didn't expect that someone would attack the capital of his own side in the same way today, I really never expected!
