Chapter 410: Tigers can't be bullied
(Ask for a ticket!) )
Youzhou Jingluo Military City, Zhenwu Army and Dangxiang Tuoba troops are going street to street, door to door search to clear the remnants of Shatuo in the military city. The Zhenwu army and the party members were very active, and as soon as they found the Shatuo people who were hiding, they immediately swarmed up and rushed to kill the Shatuo people.
Li Yang and Li Wei, the two envoys of Li Jing of the Zhendong Army, sat on the military barracks' school platform, looking at the two piles of people that had piled up like a mountain at this time on the school field, and couldn't help frowning, Li Yang said to Yang Lin and Tuoba Sigong who were sitting on the side: "Still haven't you found Li Guochang?" ”
For Li Yang and the others, Tuoba Sigong and Yang Lin were very respectful, and Yang Lin, the deputy commander of the Zhenwu Army, said flatteringly: "I searched the whole city, but I still didn't find Li Guochang's people, no one was seen alive, no body was dead, it is estimated that he may have escaped from the city last night." However, even if he escaped, he would only flee with two or three hundred people, and the six thousand Shatuo people would now have more than five thousand heads captured. ”
The heads of the Shatuo people were placed on the school field at this time, and the larger pile on the left was the harvest of the Zhenwu Army, a total of three thousand two hundred and nineteen levels. The smaller pile on the right is the harvest of the Tuoba people, who entered the city later, and the soldiers and horses were only half of the Zhenwu army, so the last harvest was only 2,187 levels. Combined, there are 5,406 Shatuo heads.
Basically, the six thousand Shatuo people have been killed.
Li Yang said with some disappointment: "No matter how many Shatuo people have heads, they are not as valuable as one Li Guochang's head." It's a pity for the two generals below, if they can get Li Guochang's head, this credit. But it's big. Now there is a Li Guochang who has escaped. That's a lot of credit. ”
Tuoba Sizhong said to Li Yang with some pride: "Although he escaped from Li Guochang. However, we also caught a big fish, and Shatuo's soldiers and horses made Li Quanzhong captured by us. After speaking, he confessed to the soldiers, and soon Li Qianzhong was escorted up. This important planner of the Yunzhou mutiny was covered in blood at this time, one side of his face was still swollen like a pig's head, and one leg was still limping. But even if he became a prisoner, he was still very arrogant and scolded.
Tuoba Sigong winked at his brother. Tuoba Sizhong immediately stepped forward and smashed a fierce fist into Li Qianzhong's face, knocking him to the ground, and even knocking out a few teeth.
Li Yang waved his hand: "General Tuoba must not beat him to death, a living Shatuo thief chief is much more valuable than dead." ”
"The Shatuo thieves have been cleared, should we now take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the Zhenwu army in one fell swoop?" Yang Lin asked with a smile.
Li Yang just smiled: "I'm just an envoy of the Zhendong military envoy, and how to do it should be decided by the two generals themselves." I'm just making a suggestion, though. It is better to be steady, and it is better to lead the troops to join the Tiande army first. so as not to have accidents. ”
Yang Lin and Tuoba Sigong felt that at this time, they should still take the opportunity to recover Yin and win Erzhou. Li Jing saw that Yang Lin and Tuoba Sigong were both interested in fighting, so he stopped talking. Tuoba Sigong wanted to attack Yinsheng Erzhou, naturally he wanted to take the opportunity to expand his territory and connect the three states of You, Yin, and Sheng. And Yang Lin is now rebelling and surrendering, and he is in control of the Zhenwu Army, so it is naturally impossible to be willing to see the territory of the Zhenwu Army being occupied by Tuoba.
Li Yang no longer cared about the private fight between the two sides, but just asked them to deal with all these heads, then load them up, and send someone to Chang'an by car to report the victory. Defeating Li Guochang and killing so many Shatuo people, although it was a victory fought by the Zhenwu Army and the Tuoba Department, but in this war, Li Jing was the planner, so the biggest credit for this victory was actually Li Jing's. Of course, Li Yang will not miss this opportunity to show his merits, this is the first level of more than 5,000 elite soldiers of the Shatuo people.
Not long after returning to the tent, Li Wei said to Li Yang: "Tuoba Sigong has just left the city with more than 2,000 party cavalry, and Yang Lin has also taken more than 5,000 Zhenwu troops out of the city. ”
Li Yang smiled, he didn't expect both sides to move so fast, and they both threw them here directly.
"Let them go, anyway, we defeated Li Guochang in this battle and killed more than 5,000 Shatuo soldiers, and the goal of our county prince has been achieved. As for the Zhenwu Army and the party people competing for Yinsheng Erzhou, let them fight. ”
After Tuoba Sigong and Yang Lin returned from the school, they immediately led their troops out of the city and went straight to Yinsheng Erzhou. However, although the two teams had calculations with each other, they did not overdo it at this time. Yang Lin went out of the city first, and the soldiers and horses went straight to Shengzhou. Tuoba Sizhong originally said that he was going to go out of the city and take the opportunity to destroy the Zhenwu army and directly rob Yinsheng Erzhou. However, after pondering for a long time, Tuoba Sigong finally rejected the proposal. First, the Zhenwu Army is twice as many as the party members, and secondly, the Zhenwu Army is already in the right direction, and there is Li Jing's envoy watching behind him. If he fights at this time, even if he wins the Zhenwu Army, he will lose so much of the troops he has now. After thinking about it, he decided to take Yinzhou, and Shengzhou gave it to Yang Lin.
Although Yang Lin wanted to protect the two states at this time, he didn't dare to divide the troops, so he had to take the rear to Shengzhou, and saw Tuoba Sigong leading the army to Yinzhou.
When the expedition was made, there were more than 7,000 people in the Zhenwu army, and at this time, after two battles in the military city, the Zhenwu army still had more than 5,000 people. However, riding on the horse, Yang Lin was a little proud in his heart. Originally, he was only the deputy envoy of the Zhenwu Army, and when he was under Li Guochang, he was not as powerful as Sima Wu Xian of the Jiedu. But after this anyway, Li Guochang was defeated and fled, Wu Xian was killed by Li Jing's messenger, and now Zhenwu Army is the highest in his position.
With the 5,000 soldiers and horses in hand, plus the guarantee promised by Li Jing this time, and the more than 3,000 Shatuo people in the Jingluo Military City, he is already determined to win this position in the Zhenwu Army.
He had already planned, first to recover Shengzhou, then to recruit soldiers and horses, and then return to Shan Yu Duhufu, and to take back the eastern and middle two surrendered cities, at that time he was the marshal of a feudal town.
As for Tuoba Sigong, let this damn party Xiang Hu people be proud for a while, and after he sits firmly on the throne of the Zhenwu Army, the first thing is to uproot the Tuoba clan, and then not only to recapture Yinzhou, but also to take Youzhou.
However, it was Li Jing's side, and he had to find a way to have a relationship with him. This Li Jing not only has many soldiers, but also has a teacher like Yu Xuan, if he gets the support of Li Jing and Yu Xuan, the position of this Zhenwu Festival envoy can be firmly seated.
Several horse scouts galloped over, found Yang Lin and immediately turned over and fell off the horse.
"Report to the deputy marshal, some traces have been found in the camel weir in front, it seems that Shatuo has defeated the army."
Could it be Li Guochang? As soon as he thought of this, Yang Lin's whole person immediately became excited, and it was a big pity that Li Guochang escaped through the military city. If Li Guochang can be caught, this will undoubtedly be the first achievement of this counterinsurgency.
"Can you see clearly? Can Li Guochang be among them? ”
"There are more than 300 riders, and I can't be sure that Li Guochang is among them."
Although the scout said so, Yang Lin had already confirmed that Li Guochang must be among them. At the moment, he shouted excitedly: "Prepare to fight immediately, kill with me, remember, when you see Li Guochang, you must not be killed, you must be captured alive." ”
More than 5,000 Zhenwu troops quickly increased their speed and slaughtered directly towards the camel weir.
The camel weir is a mountain weir. Because the two slopes on the weir stand like camel doublets, it is called the camel weir.
Yang Lin took the lead and led his troops to kill directly, until he got closer, and found two or three hundred horsemen sitting on the ground resting, and when he saw them coming, he panicked and hurriedly rode his horse and fled. The Zhenwu army pursued all the way over, and before they knew it, they had entered the valley.
The valley was like the bottom of a parched lake, surrounded on all sides by mountains, with only one entry and one exit. Five thousand soldiers and horses Zhenwu pursued it, and seeing that it was about to catch up, the hundreds of cavalry in front suddenly turned around and stopped.
One of them is the old boss Li Guochang.
"Yang Lin, I treat you well on weekdays, why are you against me?"
Yang Linle stopped the war, looked at Li Guochang's downcast with some pride, and said with a smile: "You and I are both ministers of the Tang Dynasty, since you are anti-Tang, then we are incompatible." If you are restrained, I may be able to remember the old feelings and take care of them. If not, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the sword in Yang Lin's hand. ”
Li Guochang snorted coldly: "Yang Lin, the old man still wants to give you a chance, if you lead the army to reattach to me, I can not blame the past, you are still the deputy commander of the Zhenwu Army." ”
"What if I refuse?"
"Then you're killing yourself!" Li Guochang drank coldly.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted and killed from all sides, and suddenly a large army suddenly entered on both sides of the camel weir. Black-clothed, black-armored, black-flag, the first general in front of him squinted slightly, covered one eye with an eyepatch, a black horse in his crotch, and a long lance in his hand, rushed straight in.
Yang Lin was shocked, his face turned pale, and he exclaimed: "Why is Li Ya'er here!" ”
"I'm here to take the head!" Li Ke arrived with a pat horse, Yang Lin saw the ambush at this time, and wanted to retreat again, but there was no way back. Only gritted his teeth and commanded the battle, but Li Ke used 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they were all the most elite Shatuo soldiers, and Yang Lin's 5,000 Zhenwu army, with fewer defeats, and fell into siege.
At the beginning of the melee, the battle situation had completely turned to the Shatuo people, and the Zhenwu army was killed by the Shatuo cavalry, and the formation was broken. Soon it fell into a massacre, and by the time the battle reached sunset, the Zhenwu army was completely defeated.
Many Zhenwu troops began to abandon their weapons and surrender, but Li Ke hated them for rebelling against them, and they were not surrendered at all at this time. Iron hooves trampled, long knives chopped, the camel weir became the hell ghost gate of the 5,000 Zhenwu army, no one could escape, all were slaughtered here.
Yang Lin's defeat was not spared, and he regretted not listening to Li Yang's persuasion, and didn't want to fall into Li Ya'er's hands and be chopped alive, so Yang Lin drew his sword and killed himself!
After the war, Li Keyong found that Yang Lin had committed suicide, but he still refused to let go, and ordered his body to be thrown on the ground, trampled into mud by cavalry and horses, and burned to ashes at the end.
"Cheap Tuoba dog thief!" In this battle, only the Zhenwu army was annihilated, but failed to ambush Tuoba Sigong's party army. (To be continued......)
