Li Junxian set out from the Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an, and also made a large circle, bypassing the Guanlong troops stationed everywhere, and rushed to Lantian along the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain. He was working hard and anxious all the way, and when he arrived at Lantian, it was already dusty.
But he didn't dare to stop at all, not even to let the soldiers drink water or chew solid food, for fear that a slight delay would cause the rescue to be delayed.
The power of "Baiqisi" was not just blown away. There were informants everywhere in Chang'an City, and the interior of Guanlong Gate was the top priority. So as soon as he set off from Chang'an, he received another team of two thousand people from Yanshoufang.
The news of the departure of human soldiers was that their destination was Lantian.
No need to guess, the target of this troop is probably Fang Jun. Changsun Wuji hated Fang Jun deeply and vowed to avenge the murder of his younger brother. At the same time, he also tried to sabotage the peace talks...
The cavalry of the Changsun family set out from Chang'an and could go straight to Lantian along the Ba River. However, Li Junxian made a large circle and the distance was several times longer. If the cavalry of the Changsun family happened to run into Fang Jun when they arrived at the Bashui Valley,
Then Fang Er was killed with one charge, so what should we do?
So Li Junxian hurriedly hurried along, but in the end he was still a step late...
The mouth of the Bashui Valley is very close, and the mountains on both sides tower like knives and axes. The smoke billows at the mouth of the valley, blowing and blowing with the mountain wind in the valley, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Li Junxian's heart thumped, something bad happened!
Could it be that it was too late after all?
He did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately ordered the entire army to increase their speed to the limit, and rushed towards the mouth of the valley like wind and lingering clouds.
Before they even got close, they heard loud shouts of killing. Two groups of men and horses were fighting in a melee. They were fighting until the sky was dim and the men in the darkness were turning their backs on their backs. The sky-shaking thunder roared, smoke rose up one after another, and countless soldiers fell off their horses.
In an instant, thousands of troops and thousands of talents were reduced to pulp.
However, the war soon became one-sided.
Li Junxian was shocked and shouted: "Rush forward quickly and rescue Duke Yue!"
From here past Lantian to the north are the Guanlong garrison. When they hear the news and come to support, where can they go?
A school captain next to him put up a pergola and looked ahead. Suddenly he felt something strange and said in surprise: "Commander, something is wrong! Take a closer look. It seems that the cavalry of the Changsun family fled in front, and the ones behind them took advantage of the victory and pursued them."
The Yue State Office Department."
"Well……"
Li Junxian was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to give the captain a whip - how is that possible?
Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the family, sent two groups of elite cavalry from the clan to intercept and kill him. If Fang Er lives and escapes, he will die. How can he complete the counterattack continuously?
Do you really think that the private soldiers of the Changsun family are just chickens and dogs?
However, immediately after, another captain exclaimed: "Sure enough, Duke Yue is so fierce!"
Li Junxian then hurriedly looked forward, only to see two groups of people chasing each other from far to near. The troops in front were broken and fled in all directions, panicking like a flock of sheep, abandoning their helmets and armor, while those behind were chasing after them.
However, the pursuers were well-organized, and even during the pursuit they were still rigorous and orderly. They were obviously a strong army.
But the ordnance and equipment of both sides are almost the same, and each of them has a strange face. How on earth can these lieutenants under his command be able to distinguish clearly from such a distance... Do they all have such good eyesight?
Li Junxian did not dare to neglect and ordered: "Get into defensive formation and prepare the entire army to meet us!"
His duty is to rescue Fang Jun. If the defeated army is Fang Jun, he will let him go, and then organize the army to fight the enemy chasing behind him; if it is the other way around, he can allow the Changsun family's cavalry to escape, as long as
Just make sure Fang Jun is safe and sound.
The "Hundred Cavalry" brought out this time were all elite. After hearing the order, they quickly adjusted and assembled, formed a square formation, took off the crossbow machine, put up their shields, and stood ready in the field.
Soon, the oncoming defeated troops fled in front of them. They were all startled by the sudden appearance of the orderly army. However, the pursuers behind them came up in a fierce pursuit and did not dare to delay. It was like encountering an erupting flash flood.
Like a diversion dam, it automatically avoids the "Hundred Cavalry" array and breaks away from the north and south sides.
This time Li Junxian saw it clearly. Although these cavalrymen were all wearing Tang Dynasty standard military uniforms, the uniforms were too new. Even though they were seriously damaged due to the battle just now, they were obviously not as steady and heavy as Fang Jun's elite soldiers should have.
.
Li Junxian immediately ordered: "Fire with bows and crossbows, no pursuit!"
"Boom boom boom" there was a sound of bow strings, and countless crossbow arrows flew into the sky, drawing a parabola in the air and falling into the fleeing Changsun family's cavalry formation. Countless soldiers fell off their horses after being hit by arrows, crying and wailing.
The "Hundred Cavalry" turned a blind eye to this. They just took the opportunity to take advantage of the enemy's retreat in front of their own square formation and tried to fire a few more arrows, but they would never disperse the formation and pursue them. Their mission was only to rescue Fang Jun. Other than that,
Don't worry about anything else, so as not to miss important things.
The Changsun family's cavalry was shot by arrows and was severely damaged. The survivors panicked and galloped around in the open fields, fleeing for their lives without distinguishing between east, west and north.
After a while, the pursuers from behind arrived in front of the "Hundred Cavalry" formation.
This army is obviously much more sophisticated. Even in the midst of a rapid pursuit, the formation remains orderly, and the uniforms on the soldiers are more outdated. Their faces are cold and murderous, and they are greeted by a strong aura of fierceness.
.
This is a first-class powerful army, and it cannot be compared to those of the eldest grandson family...
Li Junxian sent someone forward and shouted loudly: "'Baiqi' has been ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to the rescue of the Duke of Yue. The commander-in-chief of my family is personally commanding the army. I sincerely request to meet with the Duke of Yue!"
Li Junxian felt a little nervous. Although the army in front of him was indeed Fang Jun's personal soldiers, it did not mean that Fang Jun was still intact. After all, Changsun Wuji sent people to intercept and kill Fang Jun twice in a row, which caused Fang Jun to have an unexpected attack.
The probability is extremely high...
It wasn't until Fang Jun, wearing armor and galloping on his horse, came to the battle in person that Li Junxian felt completely relieved.
He stood before his horse and saluted with clasped fists on the horse: "On the battlefield, I cannot salute you completely. I hope the Duke of Yue will forgive me!"
Fang Jun laughed, rode forward, stretched out his hand, shook hands with Li Junxian, and then asked: "Commander Li is not guarding Xuanwu Gate, why are you here?"
Li Junxian briefly explained the reason, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the East Palace is worried about the safety of the Duke of Yue, and His Highness the Crown Prince is even more unsatisfied with food and restless at night. Therefore, he sent his junior generals to come and take care of him, so as to prevent the Duke of Yue from being outnumbered.
Victimized by traitors!"
Fang Jun waved his hand: "It's a mob, why should I care? But in the East Palace, I'm afraid not everyone wants me to go back in one piece."
To say that Guanlong's army is a "rabble" is not to be arrogant. When Guanlong started his army, he hoped for a quick victory. He mobilized elites to attack the imperial city and fought fiercely with the sixth rate of Donggong. Later, he was defeated outside the Xuanwu Gate.
Fang Jun then raided Changsun Jiaqing's troops, which already resulted in the loss of all the elite troops of Guanlong and heavy losses.
The remaining more than 100,000 troops appear to be covering the sky and the sun, with flags like clouds, but in fact they are all improvised and their combat power is really limited.
For example, the soldiers of the Changsun family are all strong, well-equipped, and must have received good training. However, these "young master soldiers" have never seen much blood, have not been tested in battle, and have not competed with real soldiers.
At that time, a strong army was short and long, so how could it be considered a truly strong army?
They are completely vulnerable to these real elites under Fang Jun's command...
Li Junxian looked a little embarrassed. Although he was a military general, because of the nature of his official position, he knew the dynamics of officials very well. Naturally, he understood that there was a lot of trouble between the civil and military forces in the East Palace. The civil officials were jealous of the military generals who continued to make meritorious deeds, while the military generals were dissatisfied.
Civil officials interfered.
Especially the current peace talks. To put it bluntly, they were instigated by civilian officials in order to restrain the military generals. They said they would stop fighting, but in fact they were not afraid that the military would really defeat the rebels in one fell swoop and seize all the great achievements, which would lead to future dynasties.
Are civil servants at a disadvantage in the court?
The war is raging and the crisis has not been resolved. Internally, due to their own interests, they begin to plot against each other, be wary of each other, and even hold each other back... Throughout the ages, it seems that every interest team has been unable to escape from this nest. People's minds are plotting, and interests are competing for each other. This is what it means.
The eternal mainstream of the world.
Hearing Fang Jun speak so straightforwardly, Li Junxian could only hesitantly deal with it, otherwise how could he tell the truth? Then he, the commander-in-chief of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", would become a gossip, with prejudices in his mind, and others would talk about it.
That's all, but once these words come out of his mouth, they are a recipe for death.
He improved and changed the topic: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking forward to it, and everyone in the East Palace is eagerly waiting for it. I hope that the Duke of Yue will return as soon as possible and take charge of the overall situation!"
Fang Jun nodded, turned around and raised his arms to his soldiers, loudly saying: "Let's go back to Chang'an!"
"Here!"
The response is like thunder and the morale is like rainbow.
