The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 729 Li Jing's Shanyang was buried (2)

With this feeling of revenge, Li Xiuning called together Chai Shao, Ma Sanbao, and Yin Kaishan to discuss setting up an ambush.

Yin Kaishan said: "Princess, saving soldiers is like putting out a fire. Li Jing must take the shortest route this time. From Junzhou to Daxing City, he cannot fly to Shangluo. The shortest route must pass through Shanyang. Therefore, the general thinks that we should be in Shanyang. Set up an ambush. The complex terrain there is just right for an ambush."

Needless to say, the reputations of Li Xiuning, Chai Shao, and Ma Sanbao are all old acquaintances to the book friends who have come all the way, but we don't mention Yin Kaishan much.However, Li Yuan's ability to send this person to Li Xiuning's tent shows that he is definitely not the same person.

Yin Kaishan’s name is Qiao, and his character is Kaishan. This is the famous founding general of the Tang Dynasty and one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. At the beginning, when Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, Yin Kaishan and Liu Hongji made military exploits repeatedly. According to historical records, Yin Kaishan’s greatest contribution is He assisted the Li family and his son in defeating Wei Wensheng, crusading against Xue Ju and his son, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, and Liu Heita from Shandong. Both Li Yuan and Li Shimin highly valued him.This is also the main reason why Li Yuan sent him to Li Xiuning's tent this time.

Therefore, Yin Kaishan's words carry a lot of weight.Li Xiuning nodded after hearing this, and took out the military map. Seeing that Shanyang County is vast and sparsely populated, with high mountains and deep valleys, and dense forests, he discussed with Chai Shao the location of the ambush and decided on it.

Then, Li Xiuning asked Ma Sanbao to lead the troops to guard the camp, and accompanied by Chai Shao and Yin Kaishan with his personal guards, went to Shanyang to check the terrain. After choosing the specific ambush location, the [-] Tang troops marched into Shanyang. ready to go...

Yin Kaishan was really not easy, he really guessed Li Jing's psychology correctly, three days later, Li Jing's troops really came to Shanyang.

When you reach the boundary of Shanyang, the mountain road becomes narrower and narrower as you go further. The mountain road is rugged and stretches like a sheep's intestine.

Li Jing looked at the terrain here, and then at the hot sun above his head. There is no wind today. Although it is spring, there is summer temperature in the afternoon. Even though there are trees everywhere, it is so hot that people sweat , The scalp is in a daze.

The woods on both sides of the front are getting denser, and the road in the middle is getting narrower and narrower, and there are cobblestones everywhere, making it more difficult to walk.

Li Jing had a premonition that he was wrong this time. Although the mountain path is close, it is not easy to walk. People and horses are easy to handle, but behind the key are ladders, siege vehicles, crash vehicles, Stone cannons, grain and grass carts, etc., these heavy equipment may be even more strenuous to go this way.

Haste makes waste, but isn’t it a waste of time to quit and choose another way?

Suddenly, when the mountain road turned around, there was a feeling of enlightenment. A narrow and long mountain peak appeared in front of me. The mountain road is divided into two parallel roads.However, at such a point, because the mountains on both sides bend out to both sides, the two paths of the road are much wider than the original mountain road.

This is an obvious terrain with two valleys sandwiched between three mountains. Which road is better to take? .

Li Jing looked and looked at it with the eyes of a military strategist, then ordered people to stop the team and ordered to take a rest.

All the way is a rush march. In the past few days, 6 horses are really exhausted. When they heard that they were allowed to rest, they were all happy. They gnawed grass on the spot, and some sat on the ground, wiped the sweat off their faces, took out a water bag and took a few sips, feeling very comfortable.

At this time Li Jing also dismounted, and a soldier handed him water. Li Jing also drank a couple of sips, handed the water bag to the soldier, and ordered someone to take out the map.

At this time, Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin came immediately.They were rushing very fast along the way, and the team stopped suddenly, both Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin felt puzzled: "Military Master, why did you stop?" The implication was to ask Li Jing, how could he be willing to stop and rest?
Li Jing looked at the terrain here and said: "The terrain is getting more and more complicated, and it's getting harder and harder to walk. The mountains overlap and the trees are lush. Going forward, there are three mountains and two ravines. There are dense forests on both sides. There are about three Ten miles away, this kind of terrain is most suitable for ambush soldiers and horses, we'd better be careful."

Shan Xiong said: "The military adviser is afraid that there will be an ambush from the Tang Dynasty? Is it possible? Unless Daxing City has been lost, why would they set up an ambush here? It is hundreds of miles away from Daxing City, and it is our territory ah?"

"The world is unpredictable, what will happen today is uncertain tomorrow, so we must be on guard." Li Jing said disapprovingly.

Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully: "Military division, give me a team. Old Cheng is willing to clear the way ahead. The military division and Big Brother Shan will follow up later with a large team."

This is exactly what Li Jing thought. To take such a road, we must send out the vanguard to level the road that is not easy to walk, so as to facilitate the passage of the baggage equipment behind, so Cheng Yaojin was given 3000 troops as the front, and told He has to be more careful on the road.

Cheng Yaojin patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, military commander. The rough work of clearing roads and flat roads is the most suitable for my old Cheng. But if the Tang army really sets up an ambush here, if Lao Cheng is trapped, the military teacher will not abandon Lao Cheng." Take your brothers and escape alone!"

"Cheng Yaojin, what are you talking about? Is the military advisor that kind of person?" Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin had a close friendship, and when he saw him talking nonsense here again, he glared at him and scolded him as an elder brother. .

"Just kidding, haha, let's go!" Cheng Yaojin grinned and ordered his soldiers to go.

Li Jing knew that Cheng Yaojin was good at telling jokes, regardless of the occasion, he didn't care about him, looked at Cheng Yaojin's back, smiled lightly, and didn't say anything.

In this way, Li Jing led the team to stop for the time being, and after a short rest, he and Shan Xiongxin led his subordinates to pick up their guns and get on the horse, ready for battle, waiting here for the news of Cheng Yaojin and his team.

Because Li Jing had seen the map, according to Li Jing's instructions, Cheng Yaojin chose the road on the right, took 3000 troops as the vanguard and set off first.

Cheng Yaojin sat on the horse and walked slowly while admiring the surrounding scenery.The 3000 men and horses under his command cut off the branches extending on the road with knives, moved the stones with spears if there were stones on the road, and filled the gullies with earth and rocks if there were gullies.

At this time, in the dense forests on both sides, countless eyes were staring at them. It was Li Xiuning's men and horses who were ambushing here. The [-] Tang soldiers all drew their bows and knives out of their sheaths, waiting for Li Xiuning's order.

At this time Li Xiuning was hiding in the dense forest of the steep mountain in the middle of the road, just a few feet above Cheng Yaojin's head, she could see clearly from the height, at this moment Cheng Yaojin was shaking his head, looking around, sitting on the horse, Walking leisurely, like a tourist viewing.

The little school in charge of delivering orders sneaked over and whispered, "Princess, when are we going to do it?"

Li Xiuning stared closely at the people walking and leveling the road below, bit her pink lips tightly and said: "Don't be busy, you can't startle the snake, this is a small army of thieves, let them go first, Li Jing's big team is behind, go and tell Son-in-law, Ma, and Yin, the two generals, let them hold their breath and hide well, this princess' arrow will not come out, no one can act rashly!"

"No, the little school promised, and disappeared in the dense forest...
