"Yan Ling, you're here, you did a great job!" A smile appeared on Li Shimin's majestic face, and he said to Yan Ling who walked beside him: "We were able to repel Xue Ju's offensive almost unscathed, your cavalry battalion
Indispensable contribution!”
Yan Ling said calmly: "It all depends on King Qin's command, and my subordinates dare not take credit!"
A counselor next to Li Shimin laughed and said: "Commander Yan, please don't be too humble. Everyone under the command of the King of Qin does not know that the cavalry battalion led by Commander Yan is invincible in every battle and invincible. It is the most elite cavalry in the hands of the King of Qin!"
The person who spoke was named Fang Xuanling, who was one of Li Shimin's future prime ministers. He was very good at strategizing and could predict events like a god. He was Li Shimin's right-hand man. He is now involved in many of Li Shimin's decisions.
Yan Ling didn't say anything after hearing this, just smiled, and then listened to Li Shimin and the generals and counselors discussing the next arrangements. They would not think that Xue Ju would be able to sit back and relax now that he had retreated. On the contrary, the real hard battle had not yet begun.
The last time Xue Ju asked his son Xue Rengao to invade Guanzhong, he was hit head-on by Li Shimin and suffered heavy losses. This time, he has a large army and is making a comeback. If he can't achieve results again, his men may be unsettled.
Even in order to stabilize his rule, Xue Ju must do his best to capture Jingzhou City, no matter how much he loses. He must rely on this victory to stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time warn the young people everywhere that the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty cannot be bullied!
"Xue Ju has superb military skills, and he has general Zong Luohu under his command. He must not be ignorant of the military situation in the army. In order to stabilize their position, they will definitely attack Jingzhou City by any means, so we must be vigilant!" said one of the counselors!
.
Fang Xuanling continued: "That's true, especially at night. I think Xue Ju is very likely to attack at night. We need to be prepared to avoid being caught off guard!"
Several generals and counselors talked to each other and quickly came up with a suitable plan. The soldiers took turns to rest and were alert at all times, so that Xue Ju could not take advantage of it!
...
"boom!"
A huge stone fell from the sky and landed on the wall of Jingzhou City, smashing a large piece of the wall down and making an ear-splitting sound. As expected, Xue Ju attacked at night, hoping to catch Li Shimin off guard.
Yan Ling opened his eyes, jumped to the top of the city and stood with Li Shimin who woke up together, looking towards the city. Xue Ju's army had torches in their hands, and the sky-high flames illuminated the outside of Jingzhou City red. The tall catapults
Looming in the shadow of the fire, the huge projection enveloped the battlefield, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying!
The bright moonlight in the sky was also dyed red by the red firelight outside Jingzhou City. The war drums of both sides sounded at the same time. Although Li Shimin was prepared, Li Shimin still did not expect that Xue Ju was so determined. The army pressed forward at the same time, and the battle line was stretched to the extreme.
As a result, Li Shimin's manpower arrangement was seriously insufficient, and Xue Ju's army was sent to the city in one fell swoop!
"boom!"
This is the wood that Xue Ju transported to the front at night. The huge wood hit the city wall, making a shocking sound, and the entire city wall seemed to be shaking!
Faced with such a critical situation, Li Shimin remained calm and stood proudly on the city wall. While observing the situation, he issued instructions one after another to respond. He has a very commanding temperament!
Yan Ling looked around from a high position and found that although Xue Ju's battle line was stretched, Li Shimin stabilized the situation through various orders, and then the troops who were awakened by the silence also swarmed to the top of the city. With the addition of this group of new troops,
The crisis in Jingzhou City was solved instantly!
Xue Ju did not expect that Li Shimin was not only vigilant, but also made various battlefield responses just right. Not only did he not take advantage of this night attack, but he lost some of his own troops again. Knowing that continuing would only increase losses, Xue Ju had no choice but to give the order
Ming Jin withdraws the troops.
Li Shimin watched Xue Ju's army retreat like a tide, and he breathed a sigh of relief. This night attack was a near miss. However, Li Shimin did not dare to order Yan Ling to go out of the city to pursue Xue Ju's defeated army, because Xue Ju was
There are so many people, and once Yan Ling succeeds in chasing him, he will definitely be surrounded and killed by Xue Ju!
Three days passed quickly. During these three days, Xue Ju continued to attack, but with little effect. Li Shimin also did not dare to attack easily because of Xue Ju's large number of troops. He only occasionally took advantage of Xue Ju's carelessness and let Yan Ling's
The cavalry battalion went out of the city to do a sweep!
Just when Yan Ling thought that the situation would continue to be stalemate, just when it was time to see which of the two sides would be unable to sustain it first, a turning point appeared!
On this day, Xue Ju was patrolling the military camp in his armor and sword to enhance the morale of the army. When he was passing by the front barracks, a nearby soldier suddenly broke into rebellion.
The fierce and unparalleled murderous aura enveloped the whole place. A dagger was thrust out, and the surrounding air suddenly became cold. The soldiers around Xue Ju were so frightened by the murderous aura that they could not move. They could only watch helplessly as the assassin held the dagger in his hand.
Thorn Xue Ju's armor throat gap!
Xue Ju was originally a martial arts master as famous as Du Fuwei and others. Normally, he would have had 10,000 ways to dodge this sword, but at this time, his offensive for three consecutive days had no results. He was anxious and his mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
The offensive route, plus being in a military camp, without any defense, was actually succeeded by a single blow from this assassin!
In the end, Xue Juzhi had enough time to hit the assassin with a palm, and he died suddenly. Although the assassin took Xue Ju's palm and blood bleeded from the corner of his mouth, he used the strength to fly out of the circle surrounded by Xue Ju's soldiers. After a few leaps, he was already
Disappeared into the mountains and forests near the military camp!
"There's an assassin!"
After everything was settled, Xue Ju's soldiers suddenly realized and shouted loudly.
The news of Xue Ju's assassination soon spread throughout the military camp, and Xue Ju's entire army was in an uproar!
But something more serious happened. Just when the news of Xue Ju's assassination came out and the morale of the army was in turmoil, Li Shimin suddenly ordered the city gates to be opened wide and ordered the army's lieutenant generals to attack in full force. The leader was Yan Ling's cavalry battalion.
Yan Ling obeyed the order and ran out of the city gate with the cavalry battalion. Many soldiers followed behind him. The cavalry opened the way and the infantry followed. The army rushed out of Jingzhou City like a long dragon, and Yan Ling was the leader of the army.
The army went towards Xue Ju's army camp to kill!
At this time, Xue Ju's army was also in chaos. After Xue Ju's death, the dragons were leaderless and the whole army was in great commotion. However, Xue Ju's son, Xue Rengao, was cruel by nature and had no morale in the army. After Xue Ju's death, Xue Rengao could not get support at all. Instead, Xue Ju's general Zong Luohu came to power.
The voice is not small!
"Da da da!"
Just when the two sides were coming to terms with the dispute, Yan Ling had already led his army to attack. The galloping of thousands of horses was shocking. Xue Ju's army was even more frightened when they discovered that the enemy was attacking, and they couldn't muster the slightest fighting spirit!
Xue Rengao and Zong Luohu quickly stopped fighting for power, organized resistance, and ordered the soldiers to sprinkle a large amount of caltrops in front of the military camp. At the same time, they took out their anti-horse rifles to block the front, so as to slow down Yan Ling's attack.
However, Li Shimin had already popularized the horseshoe made by Yan Ling in the army. The iron caltrops had little effect and only caused some trouble in resisting horse guns.
However, Yan Ling, Li Jing, Hong Funu and other experts from the Tiance Mansion led the charge, and all kinds of separated Qi such as spears, swords, and sword energy swept past, destroying everything such as the horse rifle before the cavalry battalion arrived.
Most of them, with some fragments left, were unable to stop the charge of the army led by Yan Ling!
"kill!"
Yan Ling took the lead and rushed into Xue Ju's westward marching army. He shouted loudly, his spears flying, and his spears blazing across the army formation!
"kill!"
Li Jing led the army closely behind him and roared in unison. His voice was so powerful that he soared into the sky with a murderous aura. He was so fierce and invincible!
Many soldiers in Xue Ju's army were trembling and had no morale. Only a few senior generals, such as Xue Rengao and Zong Luohu, understood that morale could not be broken. They were angry and ordered their own soldiers to supervise the battle and forcibly aroused the fighting among their soldiers.
meaning.
Yan Ling was not attracted by these soldiers who had lost the power to resist, but charged while killing the enemy. Only constant charging is the ultimate romance of the cavalry, and as a cavalry commander, Yan Ling has already fallen in love with this.
