Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 127 Young Xue Rengui takes the lead!

That afternoon.

Five thousand soldiers and General Kaiyang's Kaiyang Camp, under the burning gazes and cheers of the people in the inner city and carrying the hopes of the entire city's people, marched to the Wangchuan Valley outside Baiyun City.

The terrain of Wangchuan Canyon is steep.

It is the only link between Baiyun City and Rujiang Bay, and it is also the most natural defensive location.

It can be said that as long as the Wangchuan Gorge is defended, the Tang Dynasty will never be able to touch Baiyun City.

……

The next day.

The movements of Li Jing's army could not be hidden from Dayan's spies.

Li Jing didn't even think about hiding.

He wanted to seize the stronghold with lightning speed while Da Yan had not yet gained a firm foothold!
This is a conspiracy!

When Li Jing and his army were still one day away from Wangchuan Gorge, Li Chengdao in Baiyun City had already received news of Cheng Yaojin's invasion from another place.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Yaojin... Cheng Yaojin has an army of more than 20,000 this time, mostly... mostly cavalry!"

The scout who arrived at Yanyun Palace was panting and finally explained what happened clearly.

"what!"

Wang Gui and others present were all shocked.

The scouts of Baiyun City have all received special training and can tell the approximate number of troops at a glance.

But there is a limit after all. If we can estimate the number to be around ten thousand, that is already the maximum.

Most of the time, they have to be roughly estimated based on the military organization and flags.

Wang Gui and others came here to discuss the affairs of the people in Yanyun City with Li Chengdao, but they did not expect to hear such news.

"Cheng Yaojin actually has an army of 20,000!?"

Wang Gui was shocked.

In the Forgotten Valley,

The Tang army led by Li Jing was an elite force, and it was not easy to deal with them.

On the other side, the Tang Dynasty also sent more than 20,000 troops, which is the total number of troops in Baiyun City at present...
Wang Gui's heart sank; the thing he was most worried about had happened.

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

Wang Gui asked.

He is good at making money and improving people's livelihood, but when it comes to war, he is... completely clueless...
"This matter has been anticipated by the king."

Li Chengdao laughed, making him look confident: "Master Wang, I will talk to you later about the affairs of the people in the inner city."

"Now, it's time to deal with Cheng Yaojin."

"Go! Call Xue Rengui to me!"

Li Chengdao dismissed everyone.

After everyone left, although his expression was calm, his eyes were narrowed.

It's far from calm as it seems.

soon.

Xue Rengui, a young man in military uniform, rushed to the palace.

He was still a child when he followed Li Chengdao to escape from the Tang Dynasty. Now, ten years later, he is just a teenager. Currently, he is a centurion in the army and is rising steadily.

A general of Dayan said,
Xue Rengui's ability will definitely not be inferior to the seven great generals in the future.

Many people agree.

But that is in the future after all, and Xue Rengui has no experience of leading troops to fight alone.

"Your Highness, you are looking for me."

Xue Rengui bowed.

Li Chengdao nodded and said seriously: "On the other side, Cheng Yaojin also led his troops here."

Xue Rengui was shocked: "They are coming? They...are here! They are going to rush to our frontline base, Baiyun City, at a very fast speed. That's right, they will not let go of this opportunity!"

Xue Rengui's face was gloomy.

Li Chengdao asked, "Captain Yang, how is the arrangement of Fengtou Plateau going?"

There is a reason why Baiyun City was chosen as the wartime base camp of Dayan. This is because there are only two main roads leading directly to Baiyun City. One is Wangchuan Canyon, and the other is Fengtou Plateau.

Li Jin was the main attacker in Wangchuan Canyon, while Cheng Yaojin was in Fengtou Canyon.

It is precisely because of the deep understanding of the importance of these two key roads,
So since he had gained a foothold in Baiyun City, Li Chengdao asked Xue Rengui to defend Fengtou Plateau.

Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the arrangements are complete and are no less powerful than the defenses of Baiyun City!"

It's more or less exaggerated.

But... it's also confidence!

Li Chengdao nodded and said, "My king, I intend to let you lead 3,000 Great Yan Self-Defense Forces to Fengtou Plateau to stop Cheng Yaojin. The purpose is to stop him, but you can fight and retreat at the same time, and stay outside the city for seven days until you retreat back to Baiyun City."

Xue Rengui was horrified: "Your Majesty, I... I can't do it... I don't have the ability..."

Once in the West, in Dayan, he was just a centurion, a centurion who commanded a maximum of one hundred men in battle.

He...did not dare to take on such an important task.

"Captain Xue, you can."

"Your Highness, I...I can't do it..."

He shook his head, and kept shaking his head.

Compared with the leading monsters such as General Kaiyang, Pei Xingjian, and Xue Wanche, he was too mediocre and he did not dare to shoulder the fate of Baiyun City.

"Captain Xue, look at this king."

Hearing this, Xue Rengui, who kept shaking his head and lowering his head, looked at Li Chengdao.

I saw that pair of... calm eyes.

Li Chengdao looked straight at him and said seriously: "Captain Xue, you can do it!"

"Many people have talents, but the world rarely records their achievements, and even their names are not known. They have no way to repay their contributions, but they just lack an opportunity. Once they have this opportunity, they can soar to the sky."

"And this opportunity, Captain Xue, Xue Rengui! This king is willing to give it to you. The thousands of people of Dayan in Baiyun City will also give it to you. Your brothers in the self-defense army who have been leading in the west for three months will also give it to you."

"You, do you still want to withdraw?"

Xue Rengui's lips trembled: "Can I...can I?"

He still doesn't trust himself.

This time, the military gods Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin attacked from both sides, which can be regarded as a battle to protect the country. Facing Li Jing, General Kaiyang and Su Dingfang went out together, while facing Cheng Yaojin, he led an army alone.

And Cheng Yaojin has more troops.

He...was once a centurion, how could he defend an enemy army alone...
and,

General Kaiyang and Su Dingfang led a total of 10,000 troops to fight against Li Jing's 10,000 troops.

He only had 3,000 men, but he had to resist Cheng Yaojin's army of more than 20,000. Although he had the advantage of geographical location, the gap in military strength was still too big.

How virtuous and capable is he? How virtuous and capable he is...
Li Chengdao wanted to continue talking, but he was slightly startled when he saw something. He smiled and said, "Captain Xue, turn around."

"Turn around?"

Xue Rengui turned around hurriedly.

At this moment, he saw the dozen or so Great Yan Self-Defense Forces he brought with him, looking at him with burning eyes.

original.

These dozen people heard the conversation and came over...
They didn't say anything, just looked at him with burning eyes.

then.

One of the soldiers of the Great Yan Self-Defense Army handed Xue Rengui the weapon and said, "Captain, we can do it!"

Xue Rengui's heart trembled.

He looked at him, then looked at the dozen or so Dayan Self-Defense Force soldiers behind him.

They were so confident, believing that they could do it, and that he could lead them to stop Cheng Yaojin.

Xue Rengui's eyes were moist. He took the weapon and said with tears and laughter: "We can do it!"

then.

He turned swiftly with the spear in hand, holding it horizontally, and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, Xue Rengui, I accept your orders!"

"I will lead 3,000 self-defense troops to stop the Tang Dynasty's Cheng Yaojin's invading enemy for at least seven days! Protect the safety of the people in Baiyun City!"
