Li Huaiqin didn't take Yin Qinzhou seriously. The first guard was beaten to ashes by Fang Jun. How capable could this man be? Moreover, after the defeat, instead of thinking about how to take revenge, he threw himself into Fang Jun's camp. It was simply
He is shameless, has no integrity, and is looked down upon by the world.
In the end, all the Zuo Houwei under Yin Qinzhou were killed and wounded. Even if some broken troops were gathered, how many of them would be left?
Therefore, when Li Keman sent someone to ask how to deal with it, Li Huaiqin was full of confidence: "Tell Li Keman not to worry about it. After I left two thousand elite soldiers, I slightly slowed down the march speed as a countermeasure. I will wait until Yin Qinzhou is wiped out."
Rush to Xuanwu Gate."
The two armies marched side by side towards Xuanwu Gate, marching at almost the same speed. The one on our side slowed down a little, and the one who arrived at Xuanwu Gate first was the other side. Although the defensive force of Xuanwu Gate was small, the combat power of the Youtun Guards was known to the world. No matter how powerful the troops were,
It will be difficult for Shao Ye to conquer the city in one go. When Liu Keman makes a fierce attack and pays some casualties to shake the Xuanwu Gate's defense, he will lead his army to the battle...
It can not only avoid the casualties of the sudden attack on the city gate, but also capture the Xuanwu Gate and take the credit. It's perfect.
"Here!"
The soldiers went to send a message to Liu Keman, and Li Huaiqin ordered the troops to slow down. At the same time, he sent two thousand elite troops to break away from the formation and snipe the Yin Qinzhou troops coming from behind. When the scouts reported that the opponent's troops were only two to three thousand
In the meantime, Li Huaiqin's only worry disappeared. He relaxed and walked forward slowly and leisurely, waiting for Yin Qinzhou to be completely wiped out before speeding up to Xuanwu Gate again.
However, half an hour later, the scout came in a panic and reported: "The Yin Qinzhou tribe is fierce and brave. The two thousand soldiers and horses sent by the commander-in-chief have suffered all casualties and cannot be stopped. The enemy troops have rushed to the rear. Please make a decision, commander-in-chief."
Li Huaiqin was surprised. Yin Qinzhou's subordinates were all defeated soldiers who had been beaten by Fang Jun and lost their armor. How could they be so brave?
He quickly dispatched another 3,000 soldiers and horses, and at the same time ordered the troops to slow down again. The whole army connected back and forth and responded to each other to ensure a complete strategy.
At the same time, Liu Keman also wrote back, saying, "Yin Qinzhou is a brave general, and his troops are extremely powerful. Even if they are defeated by Fang Jun, they cannot be underestimated. The king of the county will send troops to destroy them, and I will assist him to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
, so angry that Li Huaiqin cursed loudly.
Yin Qinzhou's only two to three thousand defeated troops, this is "not to be underestimated"?
Liu Keman made it clear that he did not want to attack Xuanwumen alone. His selfish temper was disgusting, and he could not become a great weapon with his small belly.
…
Liu Keman received the message from Li Huaiqin. He thought about it for a moment and understood the other party's intention. He cursed Li Huaiqin in his heart for being cunning and cunning. Do you want my troops to charge into the battle but you follow behind and take advantage?
Want to be beautiful!
Anyway, Xuanwu Gate is close to Chi Chi, and there is no shortage of time. He can wait for Li Huaiqin to wipe out the Yin Qinzhou tribe and then unite to attack the city again. In short, no matter what Li Huaiqin said, Liu Keman was categorically unwilling to attack Xuanwu Gate by himself.
He also ordered the army to slow down and pay close attention to the situation on Li Huaiqin's side. When he heard that the two thousand soldiers and horses sent by Li Huaiqin were defeated by Yin Qinzhou, Liu Keman could not help but gloat at the misfortune. However, when Li Huaiqin sent another three thousand soldiers, he still failed.
When the news of the annihilation of Yin Qinzhou came, Liu Keman felt that he could not delay it any longer.
It's disgusting to charge into the battle yourself and let Li Huaiqin take advantage, but attacking Xuanwu Gate is the top priority. If we miss the opportunity because of mutual grudges, wouldn't it be a big deal? After all, whether Li Jing in the east of the city or Xue Wanche in the south of the city, it's possible
When Xuanwu Gate was attacked and came to reinforce as soon as possible, if either of these two armies arrived, they would face a bloody battle. Not only would they suffer heavy losses, they would even be unable to capture Xuanwu Gate again.
Liu Keman could still tell what was light and what was serious. He immediately ordered his people to tell Li Huaiqin to quickly destroy Yin Qinzhou and come for reinforcements. He ordered the entire army to speed up and rush to Xuanwu Gate.
If we can capture Xuanwu Gate before Li Huaiqin arrives, it will be worth it even if we suffer some losses...
When the army arrived at Xuanwu Gate, Liu Keman looked up at the majestic Xuanwu Gate in the wind and rain. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers who had just taken a breath immediately carried wooden shields, ladders and other siege equipment to launch an attack.
The warning horns on the top of the city sounded dull and melodious, and arrows mixed with the rain fell from the sky. They were shot on the wooden shields and on the soldiers attacking the city. However, the soldiers below the city quickly transported the ladders to the city and set them up.
Judging from the density of arrows missing from the city, it can be seen that the defenders were indeed under-strength. Liu Keman was convinced, and now he hoped that Li Huaiqin would come over later so that he could exclusively enjoy the meritorious service of capturing Xuanwu Gate.
…
In the wind and rain, Li Dazhi led five thousand cavalry from Chunming Gate to the north, passed through Longshou Plain and headed towards Xuanwu Gate. The soldiers lay on their backs and drove their horses wildly, and the roaring hoofs sounded like muffled thunder.
The horse's hooves saw that there was water on the road, making it seem like mist was swirling around him as he moved forward, riding on the waves with great momentum and racing against time.
The cold wind and rain came oncoming, but they could not extinguish the fire in Li Dazhi's heart.
This time, my uncle was ordered by the emperor to divide his troops and snipe the rebels coming from Xi County. He was ordered to lead the cavalry one step ahead. This was regarded as entrusting him with an important task. As long as he performed well in this battle, he would definitely be in the army.
The foundation also showed His Majesty that he has the ability to command troops. Even if he is promoted in the future, he will not be regarded as relying entirely on the support of his father.
It is extremely rare to get an opportunity to lead an army alone in such a big scene. For a "newcomer", he must be a little nervous. But since the King of Jin mutiny, Li Dazhi has followed his uncle Li Jing to guard Chunming Gate. For
The development of the situation is extremely clear, and full preparations have been made to intercept the rebels coming from the west at the critical moment.
Just after crossing Longshou Plain, the scouts reported that the enemy troops were divided into two groups. Liu Keman's troops were attacking Xuanwu Gate, while Li Huaiqin's troops blamed Yin Qinzhou who had crossed the river for entanglement. The two armies were separated by more than ten miles and fought separately.
Li Dazhi was hesitant. Logically speaking, he should attack Li Huaiqin's troops directly, attack from front to back with Yin Qinzhou to completely defeat Li Huaiqin, and then join forces and turn towards the Xuanwu gatekeeper Liu Keman to block the city. They would win a complete victory.
However, Xuanwumen has no troops. What if it cannot withstand Liu Keman's strong attack? At that time, Liu Keman will lead his army into Taiji Palace and drive straight into Fang Jun's back. Wude Palace will be in danger.
However, if he reinforces Xuanwu Gate first and Li Huaiqin sees that the situation is not going well and asks Yin Qinzhou to flee westward, he can threaten the Jinguang Gate in the west of Chang'an and open the far gate and other city gates.
Wu Wei strangled him in one fell swoop...
Li Dazhi slowed down his horse and touched the cold rainwater on his face. He felt a little anxious. It was indeed difficult to lead the army alone. The choice between advance and retreat was frightening. He always felt that no matter what choice he made, it would be wrong.
A fast horse came galloping through the wind and rain. The scouts on the outside intercepted it and then waited in front of Li Dazhi.
"I am the guard of Xuanwu Gate. I am here on the orders of Sun Renshi, the deputy general of the Youtun Guard. I ask the general to take Li Huaiqin directly. There is no need to worry about the safety of Xuanwu Gate. After Li Huaiqin's troops are annihilated, I will turn back to outflank Li Keman who is attacking the city and fight for the victory.
It’s fixed, and the shock and awe are small.”
"Go back and tell Master Sun Ren that he must guard the Xuanwu Gate. The infantry led by the Sixth Army of the East Palace will arrive soon."
"Here!"
Seeing the Xuanwumen scouts turning their horses and diving into the wind and rain, Li Dazhi was determined and waved his hand: "Release all the scouts, ignore the Xuanwumen, and go straight to Li Huaiqin!"
The most important thing in battlefield combat is coordination with friendly forces. Now that Sun Renshi has clearly promised to defend Xuanwu Gate, Li Dazhi does not need to make a difficult choice. He only needs to go all out to kill Li Huaiqin in accordance with Sun Renshi's advice.
The five thousand cavalry sped up again, taking a route parallel to the Chang'an city wall among the mountains and fields. On the way, they could see the Xuanwu Gate where the fighting was raging in the distance.
Li Huaiqin.
…
Li Huaiqin was so panicked now. How could he ever talk about Yin Qinzhou being entangled with two people and unable to escape? He sent five thousand elites to try to annihilate Yin Qinzhou. Not only could they not be annihilated, they could not even be defeated. Instead, they were entangled by Yin Qinzhou.
He really wanted Liu Keman to attack Xuanwu Gate first to consume the Xuanwu Gate's guarding force, and then join forces to decide at once. However, the situation is getting worse now. Not only the feats of conquering Xuanwu Gate may be lost to Liu Keman
Solo, if there is a stalemate until Li Jing or Xue Wanche's troops come to support but fail to capture Xuanwumen, wouldn't it mean that they miss a good opportunity to enter Taiji Palace?
Once the troops of these two men were blocked outside the Xuanwu Gate, a head-on field battle was inevitable. No matter how conceited Li Huaiqin was, he did not believe that the more than 20,000 men under his command who had been separated for a long time could win...
If the King of Jin cannot get reinforcements, the battle will probably fail. When the emperor secures his throne, how can he let go of himself, a "treacherous fawn" who raised an army to respond to the King of Jin?
The more Li Huaiqin thought about it, the more frightened he became. He simply stopped advancing, and the rear army turned to the front army and turned around to attack Yin Qinzhou with all his strength.
Yin Yuan wielded his horizontal sword and charged back and forth among the enemy troops. The blade cut through the leather armor and cut into the body, and blood spurted out. He didn't know how many people he killed. He only felt that his arms were sore and numb, and his strength was exhausted, but the enemies were still coming in endless streams. He just thought
After taking a breath, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left arm. However, he was unexpectedly stabbed by an enemy soldier with a spear along the gap in his shoulder armor. However, before the enemy could swarm up and cut him into pieces, the soldiers behind him rushed up to kill him.
The enemy troops killed him and then surrounded him.
The severe pain caused him to break into a cold sweat. The sweat, blood, water and rain on his face mixed together and blocked his vision. He could not lift his injured arm, and he could not wipe the horizontal knife in his other hand. He had to squint his eyes and grit his teeth and roared:
"My left guard made a big mistake before, and we can no longer forgive the sin of annihilating three tribes! If we want our parents and family to not be affected, we can only fight to the death to repel the rebels and protect Your Majesty. Today we will fight to the death
Therefore, when he discusses our merits and rewards to His Majesty, he will definitely forgive our sins. Everyone, follow me and fight to the death!"
The surrounding soldiers roared: "Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
The voice was shrill and the face was ferocious. Since he was determined to die, he was not afraid at all and was full of murderous intent!
