Chapter four hundred and seventy seventh Nine Mountain King defeated
One day they were repaired, and the next day they were given weapons and armor.
In the early morning of the third day, the army prepared meals. After breakfast, the 30,000-strong army set off and left Yangzhou City.
Not a moment is wasted.
However, Li Xiuyuan was delayed in Yangzhou City for three days, but Li Liangjin had already found out clearly that he was stationed a hundred miles away from Yangzhou City. The purpose was to facilitate the capture of Yangzhou City in the future, so some spies and scouts had already been dispatched.
come over.
"Li Xiuyuan's army has moved? Very good. If he wants to attack me, he must go to Jintan. I can set up an ambush near Jintan Mountain and attack him halfway. I will first let him lose his troops and then defend against the mountain. Then Li Xiuyuan will definitely
If you don't fight, you will collapse." In the commander's tent, Li Liangjin heard that Li Xiuyuan's army was dispatched, and he was not worried about the reaction.
And became happy.
He felt that this was an excellent opportunity for him to defeat Li Xiuyuan.
After all, Li Xiuyuan came from afar, and he was well prepared. As long as the ambush was successfully set up, Li Xiuyuan would definitely be defeated.
He immediately mobilized his troops and sent a full 20,000 men to Jintan Mountain, preparing to ambush Li Xiuyuan on the way. He was taking the remaining men here to wait for the good news ahead.
But when Li Liangjin's army moved, it was clearly seen by Li Xiuyuan's divine eye.
"Set up an ambush for me? Is this Li Liangjin stupid because of his military studies? The Yangzhou area is not entirely his territory. Could it be that he just takes it for granted that I will follow his path of setting up an ambush?" Li Xiuyuan, one of the leaders, couldn't help but wonder at this scene.
Laughing dumbly.
It was said that Li Liangjin had a good ambush location, but he didn't think about it for a moment. He could know his marching route and departure time, couldn't he know his?
In this battle, with each other knowing it well, there is no trick to be used, they can only be an upright fight with their own strength and influence.
"Xing Shan, you lead your troops and the fifteen thousand infantry to Jintan Mountain. By the way, Wu Xiang will also go with you to prevent accidents. If you encounter the rebel army, let the rebel army go up the mountain first, and then surround the mountain.
If you don't attack, it's an isolated mountain. You only need to surround it for ten days, and the rebels will naturally collapse without attacking and kneel down to surrender. You
We just need to remember not to attack the mountain. This group of thieves is not strong in combat power and weak in will. Once they are surrounded, they will definitely disorganize themselves."
Li Xiuyuan suddenly gave an order at this moment: "Han Meng, you and the others will lead the cavalry with me to bypass Jintan and go straight to Li Liangjin's station."
"Yes, General." Everyone responded with clasped fists.
Wang Ping frowned and said: "Brother Li, we have to cross the river to bypass the Golden Temple. If we have so many soldiers and horses, we don't know how long it will take to cross the river."
"It doesn't matter, our army has a pontoon bridge, and it only takes half a day to cross the river." Li Xiuyuan glanced at the Yangtze River King who was riding next to him.
The King of Yangtze River cupped his fists and gave a salute to express his understanding.
His thousand-year-old alligator became a spirit and turned into a pontoon bridge to allow the army to cross the river. It was just a little effort.
However, this simple task must be done by the Yangtze River King. Ghosts and gods cannot stay in the army. Ordinary spirits do not have such a Taoist behavior. Only the spirits in the water can do this. Looking at all the spirits,
And which spirit is more suitable to transform into a floating bridge than the alligator?
If this were not the case, Li Xiuyuan would not use the Imperial Liquid to recruit the Yangtze River King.
Soon, the troops divided into two groups, and the infantry headed towards Jintan Mountain. Li Xiuyuan led 10,000 cavalry to bypass Jintan Mountain and go straight to the residence of the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin.
Five days later.
Li Liangjin's 20,000 soldiers went up to Jintan Mountain, and in less than half a day, they were surrounded by 20,000 infantry led by Xing Shan.
The rebels panicked instantly and led their troops into battle. However, Xing Shan and Wu Xiang just defended but did not attack. The infantry shields taken from the armory stood at the foot of the mountain and surrounded Jintan Mountain.
On that day, Li Xiuyuan's cavalry also came to the foot of a big mountain.
Viewed from the foot of the mountain, there are many flags on the mountain, the camps are undulating, and the military flag with the words "Nine Mountain Kings" is flying.
There is the residence of Li Liangjin, the king of the Nine Mountains.
"Young Master, this is a mountainous area. We are cavalry. Although we arrived first, it is not easy to attack." Han Meng said hesitantly.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Who said we should attack? The cavalry does not attack the city, but charges into the battle. At this time, Jintan Mountain is surrounded, and this place is watched by ten thousand of me. It is only a matter of time for Li Liangjin to perish. Over there,
This county town belongs to Li Liangjin, right? Very good, the cavalry besieged the city for half a day, look at Li Liang
Is Jin coming to rescue or not? If not, just take it, and then go to the county to rest, waiting for work, and see what Li Liangjin does?"
"I have ten thousand cavalry. As long as Li Liangjin comes out of the mountain, whether he is fleeing or fighting, I can catch up and fight him in an instant. How can he defeat me if he has many infantrymen who are not on the mountain?"
"Brother Li wants to trap Li Liangjin to death and win without a fight." Wang Ping sighed after hearing this: "This is indeed a good strategy."
"Let's go." Li Xiuyuan turned around and left on the dragon pony.
Among the ghosts and gods under his command, it is not that there are no ghosts and gods who were generals in life. When he was in Jinling City, he often asked the ghosts and gods under his command for some experience in leading troops in battle.
Although he is not as good as those famous generals, he is at least much stronger than some newcomers and will not make the simplest mistakes.
About half an hour later.
News that the county town was besieged reached Li Liangjin's ears.
"What? Li Xiuyuan, the warrior, bypassed Jintan Mountain and is now besieging Fengyi County at the foot of our mountain with ten thousand cavalry?" Li Liangjin immediately panicked when he heard the news.
The panic was not because of Li Xiuyuan's sudden appearance, but because the strategy he relied on was useless.
It was originally an ambush, but now that Li Xiuyuan appears here, doesn't that mean that his plan has been seen through?
The advantage of waiting for work was gone in an instant.
"Your Majesty, Fengyi County is our food and supply place. If Fengyi County is lost, our people on the mountain will probably run out of food." A leader also said in a panic: "So I ask your Majesty to quickly send troops to support Fengyi County.
Yi County.”
Li Liangjin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are right. Send troops immediately to support Fengyi County. We and the people at the foot of the mountain will definitely be able to repel that Li Xiuyuan."
He had previously followed Nanshan Weng's advice, stationing a large army on the mountain and stationing thousands of troops in Fengyi County. The two were at the horns of each other. If the imperial troops attacked the county, the army on the mountain would descend and cooperate with the troops in the county, and they would definitely be able to achieve great success.
Gain complete victory.
Of course, Nanshan Weng’s suggestion is correct.
The key depends on who you are facing.
Li Xiuyuan's 10,000 cavalry were best at charging into battle. Li Liangjin divided his troops and went to Jintan Mountain to set up an ambush. If these men and horses charged down, wouldn't they be looking for death in the face of the cavalry?
However, Fengyi County has his food, grass, and supplies, so it is impossible not to save him.
Soon, Li Liangjin's troops stationed on the mountain came out in full force, walked out of the mountain, and killed Li Xiuyuan at the foot of the mountain.
"Li Liangjin fell into the trap. The three of them stayed outside Fengyi County with their 3,000 troops, keeping an eye on the troops rushing out of the county. I didn't want to be attacked from both sides. The others followed me and charged into the battle, defeating Li Liangjin's troops in one fell swoop.
.”
Li Xiuyuan squinted his eyes and watched a cloud of dust rising from under the mountain.
The sound of shouting and killing came from afar.
He can know Li Liangjin's location even without using divine vision.
Immediately, the ten thousand cavalry walking around the city suddenly split into two, and the three thousand people continued to move around the city, killing the people in the county. The remaining seven thousand cavalry were led by Li Xiuyuan himself and charged.
go.
Li Liangjin didn't have many people to support him, only about 10,000 people, but among the more than 10,000 people, there were only three or four thousand cavalry, and the remaining infantry were all in tattered clothes and poorly equipped, and had no fighting power at all.
"We will definitely win this battle. If you find out where Li Liangjin's people are, tell me immediately. Anyone who cuts off Li Liangjin's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins."
Li Xiuyuan's dragon horse was galloping. He looked at the army getting closer and closer in front of him and shouted loudly to boost the momentum of his subordinates.
The men and horses under his command were full of momentum at the moment, holding spears and sabers in their hands, and roared to meet the army coming from the front.
"Kill~!"
Li Xiuyuan drew his sword and shouted angrily. With just a wave of the Tai'a sword in his hand, a cavalryman and horse in front of him were chopped into two halves, blood spattered, and then the fighting on the battlefield sounded one after another, and finally seemed to turn into a rumble.
The sound of war drums resounds continuously,
Behind the army.
Li Liangjin, who was riding a horse and standing on the mound, turned pale instantly when he saw this scene on the battlefield. He realized that he had fallen into Li Xiuyuan's plan.
Li Xiuyuan's siege of the city was false, but his attack on himself was true.
He was leading his army down the mountain, otherwise how could his cavalry break through his mountain stronghold?
Li Liangjin gritted his teeth and held the reins tightly with his palms, watching the two armies fighting with his heart in his throat.
You cannot lose this battle. If you lose, you will really have nothing.
But the reality was not what he expected.
Li Liangjin saw with his own eyes that Li Xiuyuan personally led the army to charge into the battle. The seven thousand cavalry were like sharp knives and directly tore apart his army. The thousands of cavalry under his command were as fragile as paper in front of this.
, simply vulnerable.
"How is this possible? Why didn't anyone stop the warrior and let him break through my military formation so easily?" When he saw that the situation was not good, he couldn't help roaring angrily.
Little did Li Liangjin know that Li Xiuyuan, as a master of martial arts, relied on his own strength to lead seven thousand iron cavalry, which was like the sharpest tip on a spear, enough to tear apart any military formation, unless it encountered an infantry shield.
Spear formations, arrow formations and other things to restrain cavalry, otherwise no matter how elite they are
His troops will also be defeated by him.
To stop his charge, a master must stop Li Xiuyuan.
But how could Li Liangjin have anyone at the martial arts master level in his army? Even if he did, he would have to be a master of horse fighting.
Moreover, Li Liangjin hurriedly went down the mountain to support him. How could he be prepared to prevent Li Xiuyuan from charging into the formation?
The ancients once said that it is not unreasonable to say that one horse can equal a thousand.
The cavalry led by a top master is completely different from ordinary cavalry.
"General, I saw Li Liangjin on the hill one mile ahead."
Suddenly there was a loud roar among the noisy sounds. I don't know which cavalryman saw it. In the melee, he saw the position of Li Liangjin behind the army.
Li Xiuyuan immediately understood and said: "Follow me, General, and kill Li Liangjin first."
A huge hole has been torn open in the bandits' army, and all that's left is iron hooves galloping forward. It's only a matter of time before they can penetrate the enemy's army.
Li Liangjin suddenly panicked when he saw that Li Xiuyuan was like a murderous god. People were turning on their backs all the way he passed, and he was rushing towards us with murderous intent.
It only took a moment for Li Xiuyuan to kill him.
"Quickly, get back to the mountain quickly and walk quickly."
Li Liangjin understood the martial arts of Li Xiuyuan. This guy was a martial artist with terrifyingly high martial arts skills. Some of the guards around him who only believed in martial arts skills also told him that they were no match for Li Xiuyuan.
If you catch him, you will die.
Not daring to hesitate, he pulled the reins in panic and rode towards the mountain.
The personal guards around him also hurriedly escorted him away.
"General, look, Li Liangjin's handsomeness has moved back." A captain next to him said in surprise.
"He was afraid that I would rush in and take his life, so he ran away. He lost this battle." A sneer escaped from the corner of Li Xiuyuan's mouth.
Why should Li Liangjin confront him?
He personally led the army to kill, and his morale was greatly boosted. All the soldiers under his command tried their best, but this Li Liangjin ran away when he saw that the situation was not going well.
When the commander's flag moves back, these traitor soldiers on the battlefield are defeated like a mountain. When they see the commander's flag retreat, they naturally understand that they have lost.
What morale is there at this moment?
"Go quickly, go quickly." Li Liangjin urged his subordinates to retreat to the mountain. When he looked back, he was trembling with fright. Li Xiuyuan's cavalry followed closely behind and got closer and closer.
"I lost my handsome flag. Go to the trail and enter the mountain quickly."
In desperation, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked the subordinates holding the flag to throw away the flag, and he took some personal soldiers, guards and scattered soldiers to escape into the mountains along the trail.
About a moment later.
"Uu~!"
Li Xiuyuan's dragon horse stopped and stepped on an exquisite handsome flag sewn with gold thread, with the three characters "King of the Nine Mountains" written on it.
"General, I lost you. Li Liangjin lost his flag and hid in the mountains with his remaining defeated generals. I'm afraid it won't be easy to chase him." Han Meng came over panting, covered in blood, and said.
"Pick up the commander's flag. This is a military achievement. In addition, send people to shout to the mountains and bring Li Liangjin's head to surrender. I will be acquitted and rewarded with thousands of gold. I don't believe it. After the defeat, none of the soldiers around me were greedy for money."
People who are afraid of death?" Li Xiuyuan looked up.
Even if he used his divine eye skills, he couldn't find Li Liangjin's location.
Now the two kings were fighting each other, and the bloody aura was rising. His eyes were shrouded in red light, and it stung a little when he moved his eyes.
"Yes, General." Han Meng answered with clasped fists, and immediately sent his battalion commander to deliver the order.
"Take two thousand men and horses to the military stronghold on the mountain to recruit them. They should be all old, weak, sick and disabled, and don't have much fighting power. The others will return to the battlefield, capture the defeated troops, and surrender them. The rules will be as last time."
"Walk."
Li Xiuyuan rode the dragon colt and turned back.
He would not enter the mountain rashly. Since he had already won a great victory, he had to secure this victory.
The county seat of Fengyi has not yet been captured, the military stronghold on the mountain has not yet been captured, and the rebels are still defeated on the battlefield. These matters are the top priority now.
As for Li Liangjin, although he has not been executed, he will just wait until the blood evil spirit dissipates in a few days and send ghosts and gods to look for him.
