Chapter 204 Capture the thief and capture the king?
"What? The Tang Army of the Tang Dynasty has arrived!" Hearing that high-pitched voice, all the people of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but feel surprised. The voice was as loud as a thunderbolt and full of energy. It made people feel relieved when they heard it.
It seemed like even if the sky fell, he would be there to hold it up.
Therefore, all the people in Tang Dynasty looked towards the shouting person, only to find that the person who came was actually a young man in his twenties, wearing silver armor, with a fiery red war horse under his crotch. From a distance, this horse looked nothing special.
place, but after walking in, they found that the horse's body was actually covered in blood, but the horse was safe and sound.
The young man who was almost killed by He Axiao, but was stopped by someone, was shocked when he saw this, and murmured: "It is His Highness the Crown Prince who is here! Also, is it possible that the one His Highness the Crown Prince is riding on is just a convenience?"
Is it the legendary Dawan Super Mingma, the bloody horse? This, this, this is really too dreamy."
That man was right. What Li Xian was riding was the famous Blood Horse. These horses were extremely valuable and were known as divine horses. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to great lengths to obtain the Blood Horse.
During the two wars with Dawan, Li Xian relied on force to seize it. The one Li Xian was riding was found and captured by Tang Xiujing, the Great Protector of Anxi Protectorate, by accident.
After the capture, Tang Xiujing directly spent a lot of manpower and material resources to transport the horse to the palace and presented it to the emperor. Gaozong was very happy about this and ordered the ministers of the palace to tame the horse.
The horse was rewarded to the other party, but many of the most powerful generals failed. Gaozong had no choice but to order the horse to be kept alone in a horse farm in the palace.
When the horses were delivered to the palace, it happened to be the time when Li Xian was on his mission to Japan, so Li Xian didn't know what had happened. Later, Li Xian was ordered to go to northern Xinjiang. The horse Wuyun Gaixue died of illness, and there were no other horses around him.
Unscrupulous horses, Gaozong suddenly remembered this matter, and ordered people to open the racecourse and let Li Xian go in and tame the sweaty horses.
As a military general, Li Xian naturally had a special fondness for famous horses. Especially after hearing that the one he wanted to tame was the world-famous Sweat Horse, he became even more passionate and came to the racecourse to show off his talents.
His ability quickly tamed this famous horse. This ability was indeed astonishing and made many people envious. Emperor Gaozong was also very proud when he saw this, and immediately ordered that this bloody horse be rewarded to Li Xian.
.
As the saying goes, rescuing troops is like putting out fires. After Li Xian was appointed, he immediately ordered the assembly and ordered Guo Yuanzhen to lead the heavy troops to advance slowly. However, he personally led 50,000 elite cavalry to rush north towards Zhaozhou.
In fact, if the Khitans paid attention to collecting intelligence, even if they did not expect that Li Xian's army would arrive in a short time, they should at least be prepared for the fact that the Tang Dynasty had sent Li Xian as commander-in-chief to assist. However, the Khitans
The pioneer general He Axiao underestimated the enemy too much. He believed that the Tang army did not dare to send any more reinforcements, so he did not send any spies to collect intelligence about the Tang army. As a result, when Li Xian's army arrived, he did not even know about this.
Where did this army come from, and who was its commander?
Precisely because he knew nothing, He Axiao was not afraid. He thought that this time it was a useless general like Wu Yizong who came here. He couldn't help but laughed and said: "I really can't believe that you guys have such courage."
, how dare you come to provoke our Khitan army? Even though your army is large in number, no matter how many pigs and sheep there are, they will not be food for the tigers and lions by then? Today, the Japanese general wants you to see the bravery of our Khitan elite cavalry.
Hehe, I just hope that when the time comes, you won't be like Wu Yizong and run away without a fight. If that's the case, this battle will be really meaningless."
But I saw the stern young general on the opposite side humming: "Don't worry, we will never let you down this time, get in formation!"
After the young man finished giving his instructions, he saw the ordering soldiers wave their flags, and then saw the soldiers hurriedly setting up the formation. After a meal, they finally set up the formation, but the formation looked crooked.
It's askew, it's really out of order.
"Is this the strength of the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty?" When the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty on the side saw this scene, they were all slightly disappointed. They really didn't know whether they should place their hopes on such a weak brigade.
But some people don't think so. The young man who recognized Li Xian's identity before was the one with a hint of understanding in his eyes, and the glances he occasionally glanced at He Axiao were full of joking and a trace of sympathy.
It's a pity that He Axiao didn't see such a look. Instead, he laughed and said: "It takes such a long time to set up the formation, and it is actually a wild goose formation. You think you can attack our army."
Are you going to launch a siege? Such a waste actually wants to fight with me, the Khitan warriors. I can guarantee that a single charge will make you taste the taste of failure. Sons, form an array with me and let the Tang dogs see what they are doing.
The bravery of my Khitan son."
"Yes." With a loud roar, the Khitan soldiers immediately took action. In less than a cup of tea, they set up a cone-shaped formation. He was preparing to rely on his soldiers.
Their bravery and forceful attack on the Tang army clearly showed that they did not take the Tang army in front of them seriously.
However, Li Xian did not defend himself at all, but smiled lightly and said: "It's useless to say it. I don't believe this evil. You Khitan cavalry are also human beings, and I, the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, are also human beings. There are so many of us, how can we not stop them?"
Can you stop your attack? Just let your horses come over and let me see how the Khitan warriors defeated us?"
"In this case, I will do your best to you. You do not know how to live or die. You simply cannot shed tears without seeing the coffin. Today, I will let you know the price paid for underestimating my Khitan warrior! Kill me and capture the enemy general alive!"
He Axiao sneered and immediately gave the order to attack. With a flick of the flag, the Khitan soldiers under his command suddenly shouted loudly and rushed forward like a tide.
"Hey, isn't this guy stupid? Faced with the attack of my warriors, he didn't even run away. Do you really think that my Khitan Jingqi is as useless as their cavalry? In that case, don't blame me for being rude. It's really no good.
Thinking that God has treated me so well and actually given me such a military exploit, I believe that as long as I defeat these 50,000 people, my rank will be promoted again, and even becoming a commander-in-chief is no longer a dream."
In order to frighten the enemy, He Axiao, with the purpose of capturing the thief first, actually took the lead and led his soldiers to kill directly in the direction of Li Xian. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
