Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Page 390



Later, he fought with Li Xiaogong to suppress the rebellion and quell the chaos, which stabilized the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Li Xiaogong was dismissed from military power and returned to the capital to serve.

Li Jing, on the other hand, continued to lead his troops to guard Youzhou.

It can be said that half of the military power in the world is controlled by Li Jing.

He has experienced countless battles and seen countless heroes.

But now, he is confused.

Not long ago, he received news that the main Turkic army, led by Jieli Khan, was approaching Chang'an.

After that, Chang'an fell, and there were at least [-] to [-] Turkic troops left.

At the same time, he also learned that Yue Wang Li Xiao was leading about [-] Qiongzhou soldiers back to the capital to help.

In his view, this battle must last for more than half a month, and then end with the result of the Turkic victory.

But he never expected that on the way back to Chang'an, he received the news that the entire Turkic army was defeated.

It is said that the battle lasted only a few hours.

This is so weird.

Li Jing didn't believe it at all.

He suspected that the Turks won that battle.

But the Turks did not announce the results, because when Chang'an was attacked, reinforcements from all sides were rushing in non-stop.

When the Turks heard the news, they decisively chose to create false appearances and spread rumors in order to confuse reinforcements from all sides and achieve some ulterior purpose.

So, when he came back, he didn't hang up the handsome flag, and he didn't enter the city immediately. Instead, he stationed outside the city and sent people into the city to inquire about the news.

Now, the news of the spies is back.

It has been confirmed that there is no trace of Turks in Chang'an.

Civil and military officials, as well as the queen mother and prince, are all safe and sound.

This cannot be faked.

Li Jing couldn't figure out how to win this battle.

"Get a map!"

Li Jing pondered for a moment, then called out.

Next to it, General Su Dingfang quickly fetched a map of the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an and spread it out on the desk.

Li Jing stared at the outline of the terrain outlined on the map. After a long time, his eyes became more confused, and he murmured, "This is impossible!"

"General, my subordinates also think this matter is too strange." Su Dingfang said with a frown.

"It is said that the battle between the king of Yue and the Turks was fought on the plain eight miles outside the south gate of Chang'an. I remember that the terrain there is open and unobstructed. The Turkic cavalry can double their combat power there. My Tang Dynasty's most elite Xuanjia army can't compete with it on this terrain, but..."

"But King Yue won!"

Li Jing looked serious.

"The defeat of the Turks may be explained by the fact that the King of Yue commanded his troops well. What surprised the subordinates is that this battle lasted only half a day. No army in the world can achieve such a record!" Su Dingfang said in a deep voice.

"What is the situation, you will know when you enter the city."

Li Jing pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Send a messenger into the city and inform the imperial court that we will enter the city tonight!"

"Yes!"

Su Dingfang embraced the order.

Just when Su Dingfang was about to turn around and leave, suddenly there was a shout from outside.

"The enemy broke into the camp!"

"Warning! There are enemy troops breaking into the camp!"

Chapter 442: Li Xiao is deflated

Someone broke into the camp!

Li Jing frowned slightly, picked up the sword and was just about to go out, when he suddenly thought of something, and told Su Dingfang beside him: "You lead 500 people, and go to the rear to protect the people."

"General, the enemy may be the elite of the Turks. We only have 3000 people. If we divide another 500 people, the combat power will be greatly reduced!"

Su Dingfang looked puzzled.

In fact, he did not understand Li Jing's behavior.

Along the way, they didn't have much food and grass, but they still helped many refugees on the way, which undoubtedly increased their burden.

For example, now that the enemy is attacking, they have to divide their troops to protect the people and retreat.

Li Jing's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "Judging from the movement and stillness, there will not be more than five hundred enemies coming. You can rest assured that there is me here, nothing will happen."

"This... this subordinate transferred the people, and came back immediately to support the general!"

Su Dingfang felt a lot more at ease when he heard this, and then left.

With deep eyes, Li Jing walked slowly towards the door.

In fact, he still had something to say.

Although the invading enemies were only in the hundreds, since they dared to invade his camp of [-] soldiers, they must be the best of the best, and they were sure to retreat unscathed.

but……

Looking for him is afraid that he has chosen the wrong opponent.

A few generals at the side followed Li Jing out, couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that the enemy probably doesn't know about this general's troops, otherwise they definitely wouldn't act so boldly."

"This is also the wisdom of the general. Without the flag of command, they will naturally not be able to tell who we are."

"Yeah, if they saw the general's handsome flag, I'm afraid they would have been scared to death."

While talking, several people came outside the tent.

At this time, in the camp, Li Xiao led hundreds of people, riding horses and galloping on a rampage.

Because the invasion was too sudden, the soldiers in the camp didn't have time to organize troops to effectively stop it, which made Li Xiao's people feel like they were in no one's land.

But in an instant, after the soldiers in the camp reacted, they gathered one after another, and finally a large number of soldiers stopped Li Xiao not far from Li Jing's camp.

The soldiers drew their weapons one after another and stood ready.

On the other hand, Li Xiao and the three hundred personal guards stood indifferently, without any fear, they didn't even take out their weapons, it seemed that they didn't pay attention to the surrounding soldiers at all.

The two sides confronted each other like this.

Just at this time, Li Jing walked out of the camp with several generals.

Li Xiao found Li Jing from the crowd at a glance.

He didn't know Li Jing, but he knew that these people were all Han Chinese.

Although the chances of these people being Japanese spies are greatly reduced, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.

"Are you the general of this army?"

Li Xiao tightened the reins and looked at Li Jing playfully.

"good."

Li Jing replied, and then looked Li Xiao up and down, with doubts in his eyes.

He saw that Li Xiao was unusually young and mighty, but he had never seen him before, so he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

"Where are you a general? Why don't you hang a banner?" Li Xiao continued to ask.

"How about hanging the banner? So what if you don't hang it? What does this have to do with you?" Li Jing asked expressionlessly.

"Hehe, you're very confident!" Li Xiao smiled, "It doesn't look like you are a spy from Japan, but you are also an old general. Don't you know that you need to notify in advance if you are stationed outside the city? ?”

After a pause, he continued: "If you don't hang a flag and don't report, it's hard for me to believe that you don't have ulterior motives."

"You mean, I will enter the city, and I need to notify you in advance?"

Li Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.

The notification was also a notification to the imperial court and His Majesty. It was intriguing for the other party to say such a thing, which made Li Jing feel a little dissatisfied.

Is this trying to take control of Chang'an?

He guessed that the person who came was probably under King Yue's command.

This is enough to show that his future son-in-law does not seem to be so law-abiding.

However, he is not dead yet!

No one can do it if they want to bring chaos to Chao Gang!

Li Xiao also put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "If you have been reluctant to cooperate and reveal your identity, then don't blame me for being tough!"

"Really? I also want to know how much it takes to defeat the Turkic army!"

After Li Jing finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "Everyone obey orders! Lie Kui Bull Shield Formation!"

As soon as the order came out, all the soldiers took action.

The people in front retreated one after another, replaced by soldiers with shields one by one.

In groups of five, form a square formation with shields.

The whole process took less than ten breaths of effort.

"Press!"

Li Jing shouted again.

All five members, holding their shields, slowly approached Li Xiao and the others.

The eyes of several generals next to Li Jing flickered, they knew well that this was the general who wanted to give the opponent a blow.

It seems to want to tell the other party that Datang still has Li Jing, and if he wants to seize power, he has to weigh his own strength.

"Since they want to play, let's play with them." Li Xiao said casually, "Don't hurt people's lives unless it is absolutely necessary."

He also saw that these people were a lost Tang army.

Even the military flag is lost, and he still refuses to obey the discipline, so he can only speak with his fists.

Soon, as the soldiers with shields approached, Li Xiao's personal guards also made moves one after another.

I saw the sword light slashing across, and the shield was directly cut off in the middle, and with another kick, the shield formation of the five-person team was immediately broken.

Often only two personal guards are needed to defeat the five shield soldiers on the opposite side.

In an instant, the circle of shield soldiers surrounding them were kicked away one after another.

The huge difference in strength shocked everyone.

Li Jing also frowned, and continued to shout: "Change formation! Panhu formation!"

Those shield soldiers stood up quickly, changing from a group of five to a group of ten. While holding up the shield with their left hand, they took out a crescent hook-shaped short weapon with their right hand.

Then he pressed towards Li Xiao's personal guard again.

Li Xiao's personal guard cut off the shield again, but before he could make another move, the long sword in his hand was firmly locked by the crescent hook-shaped weapon.

Then came the heavy shield.

The weapons in the hands of many personal guards were dropped instantly, and they were knocked to pieces.

Then, the enemy's weapon was placed on his neck.

The scene suddenly became deadlocked.

However, as the space continued to be squeezed, it was difficult for Li Xiao's personal guards to have room to play, and they were captured one after another.

In less than a moment, three hundred guards and nearly 200 people around the perimeter were all captured, and only 100 people were still struggling.

There are too many people on the opposite side, there are shields everywhere, and the crescent hook-shaped weapon that can lock people's weapons.

Often they only slash a few times, and their weapons are locked by the opponent without knowing it, and then there is nothing left.

"What formation is this?"
