While Sun Wanrong was lurking in the army, Li Xian led 20,000 cavalry to the Dongxi Stone Valley.
This time was actually an extremely risky military operation. After learning about Li Xian's detailed battle plan, some mature and prudent generals were very opposed to it because it was very likely to bring danger to Li Xian. However, after Li Xian
With his persistence, no one objected anymore, because they all saw in Li Xian's words that Li Xian would absolutely risk his own life for the benefit of the country, the country and the people. Such spirit moved them all, and Li Xian was the hall
The royal prince is so desperate, how can they dare to fall behind others?
Of course, what these people don't know is that although this risk-taking style is also Li Xian's tradition, similar strategies do come with a high price, which is somewhat different from Li Xian's past tradition of cherishing human life.
, Li Xian is naturally well aware of this, but Li Xian also has his own helplessness. The main reason why he has taken many risks and even used himself as bait to fight the opponent decisively is that he does not have much time.
, because Gaozong's condition is now very serious. According to his memory in his previous life, Gaozong only has one or two years left. If he does not end the war in the north as soon as possible, if he is not around when Gaozong passes away,
Such consequences are really unacceptable. Once Empress Wu has the power in his hands, or at least has an advantage in terms of justice, then no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to fight against the whole world.
Therefore, he must now use this risky method to fight the enemy as soon as possible, at least to extinguish the rebellion of Sun Wanrong and Da Zuorong in a short time. By then, even if the battle situation in Silla is still stalemate, he can calmly return to the army.
toward.
Although this action seems a bit risky, Li Xian is not unprepared. Unless he is particularly unlucky, the chance of winning is still relatively high, otherwise he will not be able to fight this battle at the cost of his life.
Li Xian did not lead the army behind the formation as the Khitan scouts had discovered. Instead, he personally led the 500 most elite East Palace guards under his command at the forefront. They were all on two war horses, one carrying a load.
The one carrying him was naturally the owner, and the other horse carried weapons, including Li Xian's specially made Mo Dao weighing more than fifty kilograms, and Li Xian's two-edged spear.
Of course, with the status of Crown Prince Li Xian, even the war horse used to carry equipment is a famous horse named Curly Horse, which can bear an astonishing load. The two weapons add up to more than one hundred kilograms. This
The war horse didn't feel tired at all.
Of course, except for the five hundred East Palace guards and a few trusted generals under Li Xian, no one else knew that Li Xian was at the front. The young general riding a red horse and wearing silver armor behind the formation was also Li Xian.
Xian Dong used the art of disguise and found someone with a similar appearance to dress up. Naturally, the purpose was to confuse Sun Wanrong.
And the most important point is that Li Xian actually deployed a detailed plan in Sun Wanrong's army. Since he had known for a long time that Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong would rebel, how could Li Xian not be prepared? This detailed plan was followed by Li Xian in the battle against Goguryeo.
Several Mohe soldiers in the process mysteriously disappeared after Li Xian ended the war in Goguryeo. They were placed in the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion and gradually gained Sun Wanrong's trust.
It's just that these craftsmen are very precious. Li Xian has never used them before. Now at the critical period, in order to avoid risks as much as possible in this battle, he still used those craftsmen, and he also found out the news that Sun Wanrong would
At the end of the canyon, a flat terrain was left for the Tang army. After hearing the news, Li Xian was moved and decided to personally lead the five hundred elites to fight the Khitans relying on this flat terrain.
Of course, Li Xian also laid out all kinds of measures to ensure that this battle would minimize his own losses, and at the same time surround and annihilate the Khitan army, trying not to let anyone slip through the net.
"Your Highness, our people have launched operations, and the progress is very smooth now. They are completely able to complete the mission smoothly." Just as Li Xian led his army to advance at a high speed, Yang Sixu, the deputy commander of the personal soldiers, suddenly ran up to him and said to him
Said softly.
"Okay, tell them to be careful." Li Xian also ordered in a low voice, and then rushed forward without stopping.
Although this canyon is narrow, it is relatively flat, so it can accommodate one person and one horse walking through it. Therefore, the army's marching speed is not slow. In just half an hour, Li Xian led the way to the flat area.
zone.
"Haha, the destination has arrived. Be prepared and launch defenses at any time." Li Xian gave the order in a low voice, and then the herald quietly issued a flag that the enemy did not recognize at all.
After receiving the order, everyone was carefully prepared. At the same time, some people squinted their eyes and looked to both sides. The purpose was of course self-evident, and they were to launch defense at any time.
At this moment, a loud roar was suddenly heard. Everyone took out their big shields in an instant, and then raised them uniformly, forming a copper wall and iron wall. Such movements were so standard and strict, it was like flowing water.
Generally, it is unbelievable.
Especially Sun Wanrong, who saw this scene on the top of the mountain, was even more shocked, because he did not expect that Tang Jun could create such an incredible scene, because even the most well-trained elites would find it difficult to do this.
a little.
But Sun Wanrong didn't know that with just a gesture of raising a shield, Li Xian led the 20,000 people under his command to train for half a month. Without the usual intensive training, no matter how elite the army was, it would be impossible
make it happen.
Under such circumstances, the first round of arrow rain from the Khitan army naturally caused extremely weak damage. Only dozens of unlucky soldiers were unfortunately shot to death by stray arrows. In addition, more than two hundred soldiers were lightly injured.
hurt.
"This, how is this possible? Damn Tang thief, how can he have such a tight defense?" Sun Wanrong's face was full of disbelief, but he still did not believe in evil, gritted his teeth and said: "Let the rolling wood and rocks, I will
Don’t believe it, no matter how strong the Tang thief’s shield is, can it block our rolling logs and rocks?”
Then the ordering soldier waved the order flag, so the order flag fluttered at various heights, and Sun Wanrong's order was issued.
"Hmph, let's see how to resist these Tang thieves?" Sun Wanrong's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and he said with clenched fists. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
