837 Capture the King
This is quite similar to the decapitation operation of the Dark Guard, except that the decapitation operation of the Dark Guard is mainly to recruit enemy generals, plan and then act.
Li Shimin and others disguised themselves as caravanseraisers, hid their eyes and ears along the way, evaded the detection of the Jianghuai army's sentinels, and infiltrated the Jianghuai army's garrison, just to implement this strategy of exploring the camp and disrupting it.
If you sneak attack at night, there will be a lot of people and you will make a mistake.
Li Shimin looked at the Jianghuai army camp at the bottom of the mountain, determined the location of the commander's tent, and at the sound of an order, several hundred cavalrymen died down, took light steps, and went all the way down the mountain, and when they were about to approach the police post of the opponent's barracks, they suddenly accelerated their riding speed and rushed into the Jianghuai army's barracks......
……
Shouts of killing rang out, and Li Shimin ordered the smoke bombs that had been carefully developed over the past two years to be thrown on the road one by one, and for a time, the Jianghuai military camp was filled with smoke and coughing sounds.
The development of smoke grenades was the method given by Ling Shuang, the formation of a military factory for production, and the technology also came from Zhen Mingku's mobile phone.
Hundreds of people went all the way unimpeded, and soon arrived at the place where the tent was, Li Shimin asked people to rush into the tent, but found that the tent was empty.
He realized that something was wrong, and looked around the tent, only to find that this tent was set up too obviously, and it was obviously different from other tents, as if it was deliberately trying to cause others to misunderstand.
A hint of vigilance surged in his heart, and he immediately made a decision and ordered a retreat.
During the retreat, on the originally agreed route, tripping ropes had already been laid, and hundreds of Tang cavalry were tripped and turned on their backs.
Li Shimin suddenly realized that his plan to attack the camp had already been learned in advance by the other party, and a trap was laid.
A thought that scared him welled up in his mind. Spy appeared among his men.
He wasn't a fool and didn't have time to think about it once he realized that the situation was out of his control. Immediately changed his strategy, and shouted in a low voice to the hundreds of cavalry around him: "Go separately!" Meet in Longmen Town! ”
The cavalry team immediately divided into ten teams and scattered and fled in all directions, so that the other party did not know which team was Li Shimin, the king of Qin.
Four or five teams of the cavalry team were wiped out, and the horses were captured, Li Shimin and Li Jing. Xu Shiji, eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji. Wei Chi Jingde and others each led dozens of people to fight their way out of the encirclement and disappeared into the distance......
……
There were less than 100 cavalry left, and they hurried all the way in the direction of Longmen Town.
When we arrived at a valley aisle. Boulders suddenly rolled down from both ends of the valley. Blocking the way, a dark arrow shot out from the forest next to the road, hitting Li Shimin's mount by the neck, Li Shimin's mount neighed in pain, bent its front hooves, fell to the ground, Li Shimin jumped off the horse in embarrassment, and rolled with the trend. made a fuss, and his face changed greatly. I lamented in my heart: "God will destroy me!" ”
At this time, Li Jing rode from behind, stretched out a hand, reached out to him, and shouted: "King Qin, get on the horse!" ”
Li Shimin was overjoyed, reached out and grabbed Li Jing's hand, turned over on the horse, Li Jingle turned the horse's head, and rushed towards the forest......
Xu Shiji, Changsun Fuji and others also arrived and followed into the forest.
At the same time, the torches in the forest were lit, and hundreds of Jianghuai troops who had been lying in ambush poured out of the forest, cutting off their connection with the other cavalry.
Li Jing took Li Shimin all the way to the top of a mountain, crossed the mountain, and not far below was the south gate of Longmen Town.
Li Shimin was overjoyed, and at this moment, dozens of women in white clothes rushed over from the side and shouted at Li Shimin: "Li Shimin, return my brother's life!" ”
Li Shimin looked up and found that it was a woman he didn't know, about twenty-seven or eighteen, with white plain clothes on her body like filial piety, and her eyes were filled with incomparable anger and hatred.
Xu Shiji said in a low voice on the side: "King Qin, this person is the sister of Shan Xiongxin, the owner of the Erxian Village, Shan Yunying. ”
Li Shimin frowned.
Shan Xiongxin remembered that when Luoyang was besieged, Dou Jiande, who came to relieve the siege, was captured, Wang Shichong knew that he would be defeated, in order to survive, he made a deal with him privately, let him release the Wang family, he was willing to give up Luoyang City, and let the Tang army dispose of the soldiers in the city.
At that time, dozens of generals and officials under Wang Shichong were kept in the dark by Wang Shichong and resisted stubbornly, but they did not know that Wang Shichong had already sold them to the Tang Army.
After the city was broken, these stubborn generals and officials were all pushed to the Luo River to behead the public, and they didn't know how they died until they died.
Shan Xiongxin's revenge was not avenged, and when he learned that the city was broken, he secretly sent a letter to Xu Shiji, begging him to say a few kind words in front of Li Shimin, who knew that Li Shimin had already known that Li Yuanji had killed more than 300 people in his Erxianzhuang family, and knew that this person could not stay, and he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles.
I didn't expect that the grass was cut and not rooted, and one was missing.
Li Shimin said to Xu Shiji beside him: "General Xu, kill her, this king will promote you to General Zuotunwei!" ”
Xu Shiji smiled slightly: "Thank you King Qin!" ”
Then, with a slight twist of his wrist, a hidden weapon shot out of his wrist......
Li Shimin only felt a slight pain in his neck, reached out and touched it, a silver needle was inserted in his neck, and his mind was dizzy.
He looked at Xu Shiji stunned, "General Xu, you ......"
Soon, he understood that the spy was none other than Xu Shiji, the general of Wagang in front of him, and when he understood, he was completely stunned and fell off Li Jing's horse.
The eldest grandson on the side hadn't understood what was going on, and Shan Yunying had already killed him.
In the distance, a brave general went on a rampage, rushed past the blockade of the Jianghuai army, and rushed in the direction of Li Shimin covered in blood, shouting loudly: "The thief dares, Wei Chi Jingde is here, dare to hurt half of the cold hair of the King of Qin, I will take your life!" ”
At the same time, Wei Chi Jingde threw a plate axe in his hand with all his strength and flew towards Shan Yunying......
His arm strength, compared to Cheng Biting Jin, is better, Cheng Biting Jin flew out with an axe in the battle of Luoyang, directly split a man and a horse in half, and also chopped a cavalry behind him to death, this move, or Yu Chi Jingde taught, it is conceivable that Yu Chi Jingde personally used, its power is terrifying.
Unexpectedly, Shan Yunying didn't care about the flying axe, and rode his horse to a place two meters away from Li Shimin, and threw the knife in his hand at him with all his might.
The eldest grandson had already come back to his senses at this time, and shouted angrily: "Xu Shiji, you despicable and shameless traitor, I can't spare you!" General Li, save King Qin! ”
Li Jing remained motionless at this time, watching coldly.
At this time, Shan Yunying's knife slashed straight into Li Shimin's arm, and the tip of the knife sank a few inches into the ground, cutting off one of his arms alive.
At the same time, the plate axe thrown by Yu Chi Jingde had already arrived in front of Shan Yunying, and there was no way to avoid it, if it was split, Shan Yunying would have to be split in half.
Li Jing suddenly moved at this time, the thick-backed broadsword in his hand was swung out with all his strength, and it slashed at the plate axe like lightning, only to hear a deafening loud noise, sparks burst out, and the plate axe changed its trajectory and slashed towards the horse's ass behind Shan Yunying.
The war horse let out a wail, and its body was split into two pieces by the board axe, and it fell to the ground and died, and the plate axe did not disappear, hitting a tree in the distance, and directly splitting a large tree that was hugged by one person and splashing sawdust everywhere......
Click......
The big tree slowly fell forward, and smashed forward, and more than a dozen subordinates who followed behind Shan Yunying and had no time to dodge jumped off the horse in embarrassment, and ran to the side with a rolling belt, and the big tree fell, killing and injuring dozens of people.
Li Jing looked at his cracked and numbed tiger's mouth, his brows furrowed deeply, he had been in the army for more than ten years, and it was the first time he had met someone with greater arm strength than him.
The eldest grandson had already understood at this time, "Li Jing, Xu Shiji, the two of you dare to cooperate to frame King Qin, I can't spare you!" ”
Yu Chi Jingde shouted in the distance: "Li Jing, King Qin treats you well, why do you want to betray the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Jing laughed: "The Li family treats me well? Do you know that I almost died at the hands of their father and son several times, and if I hadn't fought with my life on the battlefield and made a meritorious record, their father and son would have cut off my head long ago! I have long had the intention of leaving, just for Brother Zhen to stay in the Tang Army, what I am waiting for is today, why not betray! ”
Wei Chi Jingde was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "I will kill such an unrighteous villain as you!" ”
Li Jing's face turned cold: "Don't talk too much!" ”
At this time, the eldest grandson had already drawn his knife and rushed in the direction of Li Shimin, trying to rescue Li Shimin.
Xu Shiji also chased after him......
Shan Yunying had also recovered his strength, picked up the knife of a fallen companion beside him, and rushed towards Li Shimin at the same time......
Whoosh -
When-
Sparks flew, and the knife in the hand of the eldest grandson auxiliary machine was suddenly hit by a crossbow arrow and fell out of his hand.
The eldest grandson hurriedly grabbed the reins, stopped, looked in the direction where the crossbow arrows were fired, and shouted, "Who's there!" ”
At this time, a calm, graceful voice sounded from the other end of the woods: "Uncle, don't come unharmed, Belle asked me to say hello to you." ”
The eldest grandson was shocked, staring at the man who appeared in the distance, with a complicated look in his eyes: "You really didn't die!" ”
Accompanied by Li Daliang, Pei Xingyan and Liu Heimin, Zhen Mingku appeared out of the forest, followed by hundreds of Jianghuai soldiers with strange bows and crossbows.
The eldest grandson's face was as dead as ashes when he landed, knowing that the defeat was decided, he was deflated, and with a wave of his hand, the Tang army stopped resisting and dropped his weapons, not wanting them to make senseless sacrifices.
He stared at Zhen Mingku tightly for a long time before asking, "Is Belle okay?" ”
Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and nodded: "She's very good, you're about to become the second uncle, and I want to invite you to Jiangdu to get together with her." ”
The eldest grandson didn't know whether he was happy or worried, his face changed and changed, and he was stunned for a while before he sighed, "Please leave King Qin alive, and we will surrender." ”
Shan Yunying had already rushed to Li Shimin's side at this time, and was about to raise a knife to cut off Li Shimin's head, Xu Shiji blocked her knife, Shan Yunying jumped aside with a knife, and said angrily: "Zhen life is bitter, do you want to regret it!" (To be continued......)
