The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 732 Li Jing's Shanyang was buried (5)

Li Xiuning deserves to be the leader among the women. In the Shanyang ambush, only a few thousand casualties were paid, and the [-] army of the God of War Li Jing was nearly wiped out.Li Jingzhong's life was hanging by a thread, Ding Tianqing was killed, Shan Xiongxin was injured, and more than [-] rebel soldiers were captured.This was Li Jing's worst defeat in history, and it was also one of Li Xiuning's most brilliant achievements.

However, this strong woman was not very satisfied. She clearly saw that Li Jingzhong's arrow fell from the horse. This fierce arrow was shot by Li Xiuning herself, but after dawn, there was no Li Jing's body. This shows that he was shot by Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin, etc. People were rescued overnight.Also, his husband Chai Shao was injured in the battle. Although Shan Xiongxin didn't take it very hard, his buttocks were swollen like bread, so he could only rest on the bed, unable to do anything in a short time.

According to Yin Kaishan, Chai Shao and the witnesses, Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin broke out of the siege with at least tens of thousands of troops.But where did people go?
Li Xiuning planned and worked hard to set up a heavy army to ambush here for a few days, but in the end Li Jing, a big fish, slipped through the net. He killed Ding Tianqing and got some spoils. Li Jing's generals, Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin, were not caught. , how could Li Xiuning be reconciled?As for those ordinary soldiers, how meaningful is it to kill more and kill less?

After dawn, Li Xiuning ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time sent troops to investigate. Several days passed, but there was no news of Li Jing and others, which made Li Xiuning unhappy.

Not being able to figure out the whereabouts of the enemy is a potential threat to oneself.Li Xiuning felt at a loss, neither retreating nor advancing, for a moment she didn't know what to do next.

Yin Kaishan gave attention and said: "Princess, it is obvious that the bandits hid after being hit hard. The bandits who broke out that night said there were not many, and there were not many. The terrain in this area is complicated, except for mountains. The ditch is deep and the jungle is densely covered. Where can we find them if they want to play hide-and-seek with us? But the best way to deal with hide-and-seek people is to let them come out by themselves. According to the observation of my subordinates, all their food, supplies, supplies, etc. have been left to us What do they eat and drink with so many horses? So don’t worry, princess, they will surface soon. What we have to do now is to send people to take care of our food and grass to prevent thieves from robbing us; Explore the villages, market towns, and rural areas in this area."

Li Xiuning couldn't help but nodded, and thanked his father for sending her such a good helper, so he adopted Yin Kaishan's words and asked Ma Sanbao to lead [-] elite soldiers to guard the food and grass, then calm down, temporarily stand still, and Send agents to pretend to be ordinary people, and go around to find out about this rebel army.

But Li Xiuning wasn't idle either. While asking the military doctor to treat her husband's injuries, she also went to the bed and looked after her a few times, doing her duty as a wife.On the other hand, take time out to deal with the captive issue.

It's a pity that more than 2 captives were killed. Li Xiuning had a good relationship with Yang Yong a few years ago. The way of leading troops.She thought about it and adopted a gentle policy towards the captives. Instead of killing, beating, scolding or corporal punishment, she sent people to do their ideological work, and paid them food and wages to induce them to surrender.

When the soldiers saw it, the princess treated them well, so it's not the same as who they follow these days?Anyway, they eat food as soldiers and fight, and live with their heads tucked into their trouser belts. Whenever their heads fall off, it is too late. Therefore, these captives surrendered to Datang one after another.

Li Xiuning was very happy, and got another [-] soldiers and horses for nothing, asked them to put on Tang army armor, and adapted them.In this way, minus the casualties of the battle, the number of troops under his command increased by more than [-], and the total number of horse infantry reached [-].

On this day, the good news came again, and a secret agent reported to Li Xiuning: "Princess Qi, the villain discovered the whereabouts of Li Jing and others. They are hiding in a valley about 1 miles southeast of us. There are less than [-] people. .”

Li Xiuning was overjoyed when she heard that, and hurriedly asked for details.The little school told the story. It turned out that the little school and his accomplices were ordered to search all the nearby villages, market towns and other places where people had food, but they didn't find any clues, so they turned their attention to further afield.

On this day, the elementary school came to a market town 150 miles away, and found that many people were buying food, which caught his attention.Looking carefully, I am even more confused, because these people who buy food are young people, most of them are riding horses, and they don't ask for prices, no matter what kind of food they want, they want as much as they have.

The little schoolboy thought, who would make such a big deal and need so much food?Officials are not short of money and food. Landlords and rich merchants have land and food, and they don’t buy so much even if they need it. If it wasn’t for some people hoarding strange houses and driving up prices, it was Li Jing’s men who disguised themselves to collect military rations. .

The little schoolboy kept silent and watched quietly from behind. Sure enough, he discovered the secret, and then ran back to report to Li Xiuning.

As if Li Xiuning had found a treasure, he immediately rewarded this small school, and then sent an order to raise the account, and Yin Kaishan, Ma Sanbao, and Chai Shao, who had recovered from his injuries, and other generals arrived soon.

Li Xiuning divided his troops and sent generals, leaving only 3 Tang troops to guard the camp, and then let Chai Shao, Yin Kaishan, and Ma Sanbao each lead [-] elite soldiers, and the remaining [-] troops were under Li Xiuning's personal command. Under the guidance of the headmaster, he traveled day and night and quickly outflanked Li Jing's men.

In the middle of the night, the battle started.Li Xiuning's four-way army attacked in all directions, and suddenly charged at the rebel army in the valley.

Shan Xiongxin didn't realize it beforehand. These days, his injuries have almost recovered. His subordinates collected some food and grass, mixed with wild vegetables and wild fruits, hunted some prey, slaughtered a few sick horses, and could basically fill their stomachs. Jiang's body also gradually improved.

However, in the middle of the night, a large number of Tang troops came suddenly, catching the rebels off guard, and the two sides fought in a scuffle inside and outside the camp of the rebels.

Although Shan Xiongxin was brave, but there were too many Tang troops, he had to save Li Jing and lead the troops to break through again.

After dawn, Shan Xiongxin protected Li Jing and finally made a bloody road, but Li Xiuning's men followed closely behind. Until noon, Shan Xiongxin protected Li Jing and occupied a small hill, Li Xiuning's men followed, and then Chai Shao, Yin Kaishan, and Ma Sanbao arrived one after another with Tang troops. Tens of thousands of Tang troops surrounded the small hill and launched a fierce attack.

At this time, Shan Xiongxin only had more than 1000 people around him, and they belonged to the exhausted group, because it had been such a long time since the fight last night, and everyone including Shan Xiongxin was exhausted.

Shan Xiongxin cheered up, ordered people to take care of Li Jing, and then led his troops to defend the small hill desperately. After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Tang army finally broke through the rebel defense line and killed the small hill.

At this time, Shan Xiongxin had only a hundred or so people around him, including the injured ones. He saw that he couldn't hold this place anymore, so he had to protect Li Jing to break through again.

But this time it was really impossible to charge and kill, not to mention that people couldn't stand it, even a sitting horse couldn't stand it.I was so tired that I walked straight and swayed. No matter how I patted the horse and yelled, the war horse couldn't run at all.When Shan Xiongxin saw it, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, my life is over!

At this moment, Tang Jun was in chaos behind, and the shouts were earth-shattering, shaking the entire mountain forest...
