Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 539 Li Guangrui's Ambition
Huang Louping, the envoy of the West Mansion, nicknamed Iron Escort, was once the head of the Central Plains Escort Bureau, one of the four major Escort Bureaus in the Jianghu. He is a top expert in the Jianghu. enemy.Even though Li Jiyun is also a master, but most of his abilities are in the battle immediately. Facing this kind of sneak attack without warning, with Huang Louping's strength, it is not too unexpected to kill him with one blow. .

After Li Jijun's fifty soldiers were stunned for a moment, their eyes turned red immediately, and they became insane in an instant. They were extremely loyal to Li Jiyun, and at this moment they were desperate to kill Huang Louping and Li Jiqian.But before they could make a move, the other nine soldiers behind Li Jiqian had already made the move first.Li Jiqian's nine personal soldiers were dressed up by the nine most powerful killers in the West Mansion of Huaxia Weifu.When Ye Chen established Xifu, Beifu, and Nanfu, in addition to a large amount of funds, he selected a group of spies, assassins, and Huaxiawei from the headquarters as the core personnel of the three sub-fusions, including three gold medal killers and six silver medal killers. .At this time, the nine killers were exactly the nine killers assigned to Xifu at that time.

Although Li Jiyun's fifty guards were extremely brave on the battlefield and they were desperate at this time, they were still no match against Huang Louping and the nine killers. After four or five breaths, all fifty guards were killed, but the alarmed The defenders on the city wall have already rushed here in large numbers. Although the nine people are powerful, they will die if they are surrounded by the army. However, they are obviously prepared. Overhead, at the last moment, he took Li Jiqian and jumped directly into the city.

The umbrella surface of this folding umbrella is twice as big as that of ordinary umbrellas. It is also the final research result of the Weapons Department. From time to time, a rain of arrows was shot down on the umbrella surface. After a burst of rain hitting plantains, although the umbrella surface was damaged, it blocked all the arrows for the nine killers and fell on the ground. Flickering, quickly disappearing into the night.

It didn't take long for people from all over the city to shout that Li Jiyun had died in battle and the city gate had been broken.The entire Xiazhou City began to fall into chaos.

At the same time, at the city gate below, in less than a dozen breaths, more than half of the [-] Xiazhou infantry guarding the city gate were killed by [-] elite cavalry, and the rest had fled far away. The general of the state desperately mobilized his men to surround and kill here, trying to take the city gate, but five thousand elite cavalry guarded the city gate firmly until Ye Chen outside the city commanded the army to enter the city one by one.

Xiazhou City was broken.

Li Guangrui's two younger brothers, Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun, who are second only to Li Guangrui's father and son in Xiazhou City, galloped wildly on horseback, facing the strong wind and trembling, and in the dark night, I don't know how many soldiers and horses escaped with them. Looking back in panic, they could only see a torrent of torches rolling towards them in the distance, trailing closely behind them.

The two of them were the guards guarding the south and north gates just now. They didn't know how the west city was broken and how Li Jiyun died, so they felt inexplicably defeated.Just before, they felt that Xiazhou City was as solid as gold. They thought that with the indestructible Xiazhou City, they could at least drag the Song army to death, exhaust them, and force them to return without success, but they never expected The west city gate was broken open in such a strange way or in a muddle-headed way.

When they got the news at the gates of their respective cities, the city was already in chaos, the commanders could not find the generals, the generals could not find the soldiers, fires broke out everywhere, and there were roaring and fighting everywhere.In the dark night, there was an endless stream of Song soldiers attacking the city, and with the help of gods, they quickly divided into three groups and attacked the other three gates. Their strength was not enough at all. There were still more than 1 horses on the city wall. , but after getting down the city wall, they were cut into pieces by the chaos of the city, and then surrounded by divisions. It was difficult to give any support to the three city gates. They couldn't hold on for long, and most of them were killed.

Including Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun, after learning that Li Jiyun was dead, all Xiazhou generals made a decisive decision and immediately led their own soldiers to kill Dongcheng. At this time, they can only bite the bullet and break through the trap. If they don't leave, they may die under the knife of some unknown soldier of the Song Army before dawn.

Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun raised their banners and rushed all the way to the east city, shouting to gather troops all the way. Many Xiazhou who were scattered fighting gathered when they saw the two generals and followed him to the east city.Along the way, they fought several battles with the Song army who were catching up or encountered. They finally rushed out of Xiazhou City with more than 4000 people before the east gate was closed.

"Ah!" With a scream, a soldier in front of him suddenly fell to the ground with his horse servants. Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun were shocked, and they said that there was an ambush ahead. Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun suddenly realized, and shouted: "The front is full of horse traps, flee to the northwest of Hengshan, and find Big Brother."

In the dark, Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun didn't know the road or the wilderness, so they led the troops and turned to the northwest. After this delay, the pursuers were approaching. , middle and tail, and the other one intercepted them within a stone's throw of them, obviously determined to win, and he would never be allowed to escape again.

Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun reined in their horses abruptly, and looked to the west, where it was pitch-dark, and it was unknown how many horse pits had been dug. Looking south, there were vast mountains and forests. The torrent of torches, like two sharp arrows, cut at his vitals separately. Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun were filled with grief and indignation. Suddenly they lifted the reins of their horses, drew their knives in their hands, and shouted: "I would rather die in battle than surrender, and go back! "

"Kill, kill, kill!" Responses came one after another, and Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun felt relieved when they heard them. There were at least 3000 soldiers who escaped from the city with them. These troops may be able to fight, maybe It can also kill a way out.

Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun shouted at the same time, knocked on the horse's belly, and led the people to meet the pursuer who was killing them in the middle without hesitation.

The 1 horses led by Zhe Yuxun followed closely, and there were 1 horses led by Yang Chongxun waiting outside the city.At this time, when the two parties saw Xiazhou's remnant soldiers rushing back like beasts, they all sneered secretly. The banner could not be lit in the night, and because of the panic of chasing, they could not give orders with drums and music. The semaphore commanded the army to surround the enemy in a ring, spread out, and press down on the remnants of Xiazhou like a flood.

"kill!"

There was still room for two arrows on both sides, and Zhe Chongxun's army suddenly split again, turning into three arrows with one arrow. The formation galloped past from both sides, twisting the flanks, galloping and shooting, the rain of arrows all over the sky was like a knife, constantly cutting down the troops of Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun. The more you cut it, the thinner it is.

At the same time, Yang Chongxun's troops had already surrounded and killed them from both sides.

"Kill kill kill!"

Before the two sides fought hand-to-hand, their eyes were already red. All the knights raised their sabers high, their buttocks off the saddle, and their feet straightened their stirrups, assuming a desperate fight.

The teams of the two sides collided abruptly, just like the sharp tip of a bow and arrow collided with a stepping arrow shot from a bed crossbow, and the tip of the bow and arrow was immediately blunt.The cavalry can only show its power in the charge. How much threat is an arrow that has lost its arrowhead?

The difference in military strength between the two sides is too great. The 1 troops from Fuzhou and Linzhou outflanked them, like huge circles of halos in the dark night, slowly gathering towards the middle, while the remnants of Xiazhou trapped in the middle were like a group of soldiers. Only fireflies.Liu Ying's life is short, they fell one by one, and finally the small ring encircled the big ring, leaving only more than 1000 people kneeling and surrendering under the leadership of Li Guangcheng and Li Guangshun.

Ye Chen had already confessed that all the captives of Xiazhou's troops would be sent to him. Although Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun knew that Ye Chen arranged for them to intercept Xiazhou's rout in this place, it is very likely that they deliberately let them face these routs. In order to escape frantically and desperately, they lost a lot.It's just that even if they understand this point, they don't dare to have extra thoughts in the current situation, and they have to hand over a lot of these 1000 captives to Ye Chen.

On the Hengshan Gobi wasteland, a tent covering an area of ​​four to five hundred acres spread along the hillside.

Banners fluttered in the cold wind, rangers patrolled, guarded by secret whistle, and heavily guarded.

In the wind, the sound of the golden drum and horn came faintly!
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes howled, dripping water could turn into ice, but the tent was very warm.

Li Guangrui stood in front of a map hanging on the tent wall with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountains, rivers and rivers above, as well as the marked places where the main force of the Tuoba Clan might be hidden after the report of the scouting horse, his eyebrows were furrowed.

Because he took advantage of the fact that most of the Dangxiang Seventh Clan sent troops to besiege Shilibao in the Song Dynasty and attacked the Dangxiang Seventh Clan's lair. Under this premise, he made inferences and predictions according to the original plan and the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us. In half a month, he was able to defeat the Seventh Clan of Dangxiang and make them completely submit to him, thus truly becoming the king of the Dangxiang people.However, it has been half a month since he led [-] cavalry to Hengshan, and he has not yet achieved his goal, and the losses he paid far exceeded his previous predictions.

In the beginning, he led an army to defeat the Feiting clan, the Quili clan, and the Pochao clan, and successfully made these three tribes surrender. After the elite was poisoned, everything he experienced in the Hengshan Gobi in the past ten days became strange.
