Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Zhang Huaiwei was very dissatisfied with this group of recruits from the Township Yongying Camp, and complained to Chen Ying: "Chen Dalang, these recruits are so poor, they are not worse than our old brothers at 01:30..."

"There's no way around this, something is better than nothing!" Chen Ying said: "I hope God is on our side and let the reinforcements from the West Qin Army come later, otherwise, it's really hard to say what to do next!"

Zhang Huaiwei said: "Many of the people here have never seen blood, and they are afraid that they will pee their pants when they go to the battlefield..."

"It's nothing to pee your pants!" Chen Ying said with an unnatural expression, "I'm used to peeing. Open my head, I'm thinking, let's use the Qianjin Gate in Jingyang City to trick the Western Qin soldiers in..."

The so-called Qianjin gate is an ancient defensive mechanism, used to suddenly release this thing like a sluice gate when the city gate is breached, or when it is too late to close the gate, which is actually a gate. It is usually made of wood wrapped in iron sheets, and the weight is usually several thousand catties away.

Zhang Huaiwei thought for a while and said, "Should I add some material to them and dig a trap at the inner city gate?"

Chen Yingdao: "Of course!"

Under the command of Chen Ying, the people of Jingyang City set up traps in the city while cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded, especially on the streets in the city. In order to prevent the enemy cavalry from rushing in, Chen Ying asked people to tan ropes and make horse ropes.

……

"Drive, drive, drive..."

Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang lashed the horse from time to time. Although the horse was already running fast, Li Xiuning still felt that the speed was not fast enough.The soldiers of the Tang army who followed were out of breath and complained endlessly.

To Li Xiuning's surprise, the Sixth Commander of the East Palace and the soldiers of Prince Zhao's Mansion, who had hardly been trained, did not stand up. Instead, the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion, who should not be the least disturbed, took the lead in stabbing.

"Rising troops in anger is a taboo for military strategists!"

"If you run to Jingyang like this, even if you are not killed by the enemy, you will be exhausted to death!"

"That's right, that's right...a bitch, what kind of military strategy do you know!"

"Don't run, don't run!"

When Li Xiuning heard the commotion of the troops behind, the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion dropped their helmets and armor, and lay on the ground in a mess, crying out in pain.

Li Xiuning raised her pretty eyebrows, and asked her confidant Ma Sanbao: "Did Sanbao see clearly? Who is making trouble?"

Ma Sanbao said in a low voice: "Reporting to Her Royal Highness, I have already seen clearly that it is the Qin Palace right leading the guard brigade and Liu Jiale!"

Li Xiuning nodded: "Second brother's person, how could it be him."

Ma Sanbao said: "He is Liu Wenjing's nephew!"

"That makes sense!" Li Xiuning frowned.

Ma Sanbao said: "His Royal Highness Qin suffered a defeat in Qianshuiyuan, but His Royal Highness Qin was unable to manage the affairs due to illness. The culprit is Liu Wenjing. If His Royal Highness five hundred soldiers and horses break the siege of Jingyang, Liu Wenjing's old face will be separated. Liu Wenjing's selfishness can be heard from ten miles away!"

Li Xiuning's face was cold, and she said to Ma Sanbao, "Take it for me!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Sanbao rushed to Liu Jiale like a gust of wind. Before Liu Jiale could react, Ma Sanbao grabbed Liu Jiale's arm. Ma Sanbao slightly exerted force, and Liu Jiale bared his teeth and roared: "Ma Sanbao, you You're so brave, do you know who I am?"

Ma Sanbao couldn't help but dragged Liu Jiale to Li Xiuning to follow.

Li Xiuning stared at Liu Jiale, who had a rebellious gaze, and said bluntly: "A sharp tongue and sharp teeth, acting recklessly, this is called a slow army; when calling out, tongue-tied, this is a ruthless army, behead!"

As soon as the words were finished, Ma Sanbao quickly drew out the knife, raised the knife and dropped it, with a click, a human head rolled into the dust.

All the generals were terrified, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces pale.

Li Xiuning's expression remained the same: "Clean up the army and move out!"

Li Xiuning killed Liu Jiale neatly, and the soldiers didn't dare to complain even if they had various complaints.After all, even though Liu Jiale had an uncle who was the prime minister, he would inevitably be killed. As long as they dared to stab him, they would definitely die in an ugly way. "

In the evening of that day, the exhausted five hundred soldiers finally arrived outside the east gate of Jingyang.Looking at the darkness in the city, there is not even the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking, it is completely like a ghost town.

Ma Sanbao frowned and said, "Your Highness, is there a mistake in the information? The Western Qin Army did not capture Jingyang City!"

Donggong right leader Xue Wanche said: "How can it be impossible to attack Jingyang, fifty guards, if they can persist for an hour, they are considered capable!"

"Shut up!" Li Xiuning yelled, "Set camp on the spot, the whole army rests!"

Just as Li Xiuning led the army to retreat slowly, the head of Jingyang city was suddenly brightly lit, like daytime, and hundreds of soldiers in the armor of the Western Qin Army stood on the city wall with swords and guns in their hands. .

Seeing someone coming from Chang'an, Chen Ying was not sure whether it was the West Qin army or the Tang army. Seeing that Xiao Yiyi was about to retreat, he shouted loudly: "Who is coming!"

Ma Sanbao stepped forward immediately, came a hundred steps away from the city, and replied loudly: "I am Ma Sanbao, the vanguard of Princess Pingyang!"

Chen Ying seemed to remember that Ma Sanbao was the head of Princess Pingyang's four generals. It must be no surprise that the Western Qin Army knew about Ma Sanbao.

Just when Chen Ying didn't know what to do, Princess Pingyang rode her horse to the city and said, "I don't know who your Excellency is? Zong Luohu doesn't seem so young, does he?"

Chen Yingdao: "I am Chen Ying, the general manager of Jingyang in the Tang Dynasty."

Chapter 9 Horrible record

Jingyang City is brightly lit, as if it were daytime.The mottled bloodstains and traces of chopping axes that can be seen everywhere, as well as the strong smell of blood in the air, all show that this place has experienced a tragic battle.

Princess Pingyang was too excited to speak.In fact, not only Princess Pingyang, but even Ma Sanbao and Xue Wanche were stunned.

The scene in Jingyang City was completely beyond the expectations of Li Xiuning, Ma Sanbao, Xue Wanche and others. There was no West Qin army here, no tragic massacre, only peace and tranquility.

Chen Ying suddenly looked at Princess Pingyang and the cavalry under her command. They were all flat saddles, not the Takahashi saddles of later generations.If it is a Gaoqiao saddle, in the Mongolian grassland tourist area of ​​later generations, a Han who cannot ride a horse can learn to ride a horse in a few minutes, and a flat saddle, without three to five years of practice, is not a cavalry at all?

"Could it be that the Takahashi saddle hasn't been invented in the Tang Dynasty?" Just as Chen Ying was thinking about it, he was suddenly interrupted by Li Xiuning!

"What's going on here? Where's the West Qin Army?" Li Xiuning looked at the inexplicably extra Chief Jingyang and asked, "Has the West Qin Army retreated?"

Chen Ying did not answer Li Xiuning's words, but reached out and patted the air.

"Clap clap..."

Following Chen Ying's applause, after a while, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the wheels of deer carts (that is, wheelbarrows) rolled forward.Under the light of the fire, the deer carts were filled with the hideous heads of the Western Qin army. Looking around, there were twenty or thirty deer carts.

Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang is a knowledgeable person. Although she did not count the heads pickled with quicklime in detail, there are at least two thousand of them.

"You...you" Xue Wanche asked dumbfounded: "Where are the Western Qin Army, what's going on with these heads?"

The Tang army stationed in Jingyang County has only 50 defenders. It is impossible to solve the crisis in Jingyang with 50 people. Even 500 people may not be able to do it easily.

"Who are you? Let Jingyang's manager come out and talk to me!" Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Chen Ying, who is not talented, was loved by Jingyang's elders, and was elected as the general manager of Jingyang to lead the people of Jingyang to resist the attack of the West Qin army!" Chen Ying bowed his hands to Li Xiuning without saying a word and saluted: "Return to Your Highness Princess Pingyang, Xi The Qin army invaded Jingyang, and I have been completely wiped out by my Jingyang fathers and elders, with a total of 450 heads, 370 three horses, [-] armors, and several long and short weapons!"

"It's impossible!" Xue Wanche pointed at Chen Ying and said, "Do you know what crime it is to lie about the military situation?"

Chen Ying's eyes flashed, and he looked directly at Xue Wanche without fear, his eyes were cold: "I don't know, who is your Excellency?"

"A certain is Xue Wanche, the right-leading guard of the Eastern Palace!"

Chen Ying's eyes were fixed, and he hadn't expected to meet such a talented person.At the same time, he is also a ruthless person. Xue Wanche joined the prince Li Jiancheng's shogunate and was appreciated by Li Jiancheng.During the Xuanwumen Incident, he learned that he led the East Palace soldiers to fight with horsepower, and even counterattacked the Qin Palace. It was not until Li Shimin sent someone to show the prince's head that he put down his weapons and led dozens of cavalry to flee into Nanshan.Later, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty appreciated his bravery and sent envoys to summon him many times before he came back to pay homage to the general.He has repeatedly made great achievements in the suppression of Turks, Xue Yantuo's tribe, and the conquest of Goguryeo.
