However, while Yan Ling was conquering the territory of Longxi, another person was also eyeing the territory of Longxi. This person was Li Gui, the leader of the Hexi rebel army.
Li Gui came from a proud family and had a wealthy family. He often provided relief to the victims of disasters, so he won the hearts of the people after he launched his army. However, although Li Gui had virtues, his talents were insufficient.
When Xue Ju marched into Guanzhong, the interior was empty. It was a good opportunity to capture Longxi. However, Li Gui was hesitant and feared that Xue Ju would have a back-up plan, leading to a missed opportunity. When Xue Ju was defeated, Li Gui still did not send troops as soon as possible.
Yan Ling had the opportunity to regain Longxi.
Now that Yan Ling had taken over all the land in Longxi, Li Gui suddenly realized that he could not let the Li clan grow bigger, so he summoned his troops to compete with Yan Ling in Longxi and curb the development momentum of the Li clan!
When he learned that Li Gui's army was coming, Yan Ling immediately found Fang Xuanling in the rear. If he were to lead the troops in a battle, Yan Ling would have nothing to fear, but he was afraid that a battle with Li Gui would cause the situation to change drastically, allowing people from all directions to take advantage of the situation.
The invading Li clan, especially the forces led by Liu Wuzhou, have been eyeing Taiyuan!
"Brother Xuanling, Li Gui's army is coming, should we fight the enemy or avoid the battle?" After this period of getting along, Yan Ling and Fang Xuanling had already become familiar with each other and asked directly.
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Yan Ling, do you know the latest news from King Qin?"
"News from the King of Qin?" Yan Ling thought attentively: "Didn't the King of Qin go to Luoyang to make arrangements, collect the remnants of Wagang's army, and prepare for the recovery of Luoyang?"
"That's right!" Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Some time ago, Li Mi united with the Dugu Clan to attack Luoyang, but they were defeated by Wang Shichong, and now they have joined the command of the King of Qin. After Wang Shichong's victory, he ennobled his relatives, which made the meritorious soldiers feel chilled.
When the King of Qin is ready and leads the army down, he will surely successfully regain Luoyang!"
Yan Ling frowned and said, "Does this have anything to do with us?"
"Of course it has something to do with it!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Now that the Tang Dynasty king has not broken up with the Turks, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang are afraid and will never dare to rush south. Therefore, there are two reasons why the Tang Dynasty cannot send troops.
One is the defeated Xue Ju, and the other is Li Gui."
Fang Xuanling paused for a moment and continued: "Now we only need to wipe out Li Gui to liberate the Tang army. Then the King of Qin can send troops to attack Luoyang. Once Luoyang is in hand, Dou Jiande can only retreat to Hebei and can no longer attack me.
The Tang Dynasty poses a threat. At that time, our country, the Tang Dynasty, was sitting on the two great military bases of Guanzhong and Luoyang. As long as we laid out our plans calmly, we could sweep the world and achieve hegemony!"
Fang Xuanling was indeed Li Shimin's right-hand man, and he had a clear understanding of the world's situation. After listening to his words, Yan Ling also had a clear impression of the general trend of the world.
Since Fang Xuanling also supports the fight against Li Gui, Yan Ling is relieved. All he needs to do next is to make some arrangements and defeat Li Gui. Then the situation will be achieved. He will be one step closer to unifying the world, and Yan Ling will be just a few steps away from completing his final mission.
Not far away!
After setting the tone for the battle with Fang Xuanling, Yan Ling left Fang Xuanling's residence and went to find some countermeasures for Li Jing and his wife. Formation of troops has never been Yan Ling's strong point, and these matters must be left to professionals.
Li Jing, who can claim the title of "Military God of the Tang Dynasty", is undoubtedly an expert in this field.
In fact, this is nothing to discuss. Li Gui's side has relied on its terrain advantage to persist in this troubled world until now. There are only a few experts in the army, and no one can resist Yan Ling's charge!
However, there are many masters in Yan Ling's army. Not to mention the masters of Tiance Mansion left by Li Jing and his wife and Li Shimin, even Yan Ling's 300 personal soldiers are enough to make Li Gui suffer a lot.
Yan Ling's three hundred soldiers followed Yan Ling in his expeditions, and their strength had already exceeded their innate strength. Although they did not rely on their own strength to break through, they could not defeat the martial arts warriors alone, but they cooperated tacitly on the battlefield and were supported by Yan Ling's evil spirit.
Without elites ten times their size, they would certainly not be able to stop their charge!
This is the reason why Yan Ling has never been defeated since the war. As long as he can charge, he can destroy the world and destroy all enemies with his iron hoof!
After hearing clearly that Li Gui was marching behind, Yan Ling led the cavalry battalion to attack overnight and waited for the arrival of Li Gui's army at the junction of Longxi and Li Gui's territory.
In order to give full play to the absolute advantage of the cavalry charge, Li Jing specially selected a plain area for Yan Ling as a battlefield to fight Li Gui's army. Also, he was afraid that Li Gui would find something strange and take a detour, so Yan Ling set out overnight to eliminate all hidden dangers.
Finally, Li Gui's army set foot on the land of Longxi and entered the burial place in front of Yan Ling that Li Jing had selected for them.
Yan Ling stood on a hillside, looking at Li Gui's army stretching for miles in front of him, with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to signal Li Jing to prepare for a charge.
When Li Gui's army was only two or three miles away, Yan Ling gave the order to charge, because this position could bring out the maximum power of the cavalry charge, and when the opponent got closer, Yan Ling was in danger of being exposed, so
, Yan Ling strikes decisively!
"Da da da!"
The entire cavalry battalion looked solemn, and even the new recruits remained silent under the leadership of the veterans, charging with cold eyes. The only sound was the rapid footsteps of the horses galloping with iron hooves!
"Enemy attack!"
Although there were no generals in Li Gui's army, it was not as if Yan Ling had rushed in front of him and didn't react. However, it was already too late. Before Li Gui could arrange defensive measures, Yan Ling's army came with an overwhelming momentum.
Nearby.
"What kind of monster is this!"
The frontline soldiers of Li Gui's army were the first to spot the cavalry battalion led by Yan Ling. Their uniform march and attack, with their fierce and fierce aura, made them feel that the cavalry battalion in front of them was a ferocious steel beast, with its fangs exposed and lustful.
Devour all living beings!
The cavalry battalion rushed past like a black tide and rushed into Li Gui's army. General Tiance, led by Li Jing and his wife, penetrated into the heart of Li Gui's army, while Yan Ling led 300 soldiers back and forth, tearing apart the enemy's defense line.
!
This is Yan Ling's unique talent. Since he understood the artistic conception of iron and blood, Yan Ling will sink his mind into the iron and blood of the battlefield every time he fights. He can clearly feel the energy and blood in every corner of the battle between the two armies, and judge the fighting situation of both sides.
Whenever Yan Ling finds that his side is at a disadvantage, Yan Ling will lead three hundred soldiers to fight to restore the situation. Because of their superior strength, Yan Ling and the three hundred soldiers can move freely on the battlefield, perfectly fulfilling the duties of firefighters.
, laying the victory for the army in every detail!
The battlefield at this time fully demonstrated the importance of Yan Ling. Whenever Li Gui wanted to use the advantage of large numbers to separate the cavalry battalion and surround it, Yan Ling could always lead 300 soldiers to tear apart the opponent's encirclement.
An opening left Li Gui with no choice but to fight hard with swords and guns!
And this is the favorite rhythm of the cavalry battalion. With the mobility of the cavalry, they can move back and forth and wear away the vitality of Li Gui's army bit by bit. Even if he makes an occasional mistake and falls into a siege, Yan Ling can still do it in time.
Kill it!
After doing this for the second time, Li Gui's army fell into a complete panic. They found that these monsters in front of them could not catch up or surround them, and they had no chance of winning!
Li Gui was also a wise man. After knowing that the situation was over, he quickly raised his flag and surrendered. However, Yan Ling still ignored him and continued to wreak havoc among Li Gui's army.
Yan Ling's brutality made Li Gui's soldiers desperate for death, and for a while caused some trouble for the cavalry. However, with the huge gap in strength, all stubborn resistance was in vain.
After Li Gui's army was completely desperate, their morale was gone, and their morale collapsed, Yan Ling slowly stopped his killing spree and accepted Li Gui's surrender.
The reason why he didn't accept it before was because Li Gui's army was so large in number. Yan Ling would never dare to stop until they were frightened by killing them. If they pretended to surrender and surrounded the cavalry battalion that had lost the ability to charge, that would be the real thing.
Nightmare!
Only after Li Gui's army was completely frightened did Yan Ling dare to stop and accept this huge force with peace of mind, without worrying that they would betray him! (To be continued)
