Sun Wanrong looked at the valley below with confidence. He believed that the rolling logs and stones from his side would bring a heavy price to the Tang army. However, what surprised him was that it had been a long time since the order was issued, but he was lying on both sides of the valley.
The three thousand soldiers on the side heights have not yet taken action, and not a single rolling log or stone has been lowered in the entire narrow valley.
"Here, what is going on? Scouts, go and find out." Seeing this scene, Sun Wanrong gradually became uneasy and quickly ordered the scouts to go and investigate.
At this moment, loud shouts were heard in the distance, and then he saw a forest of flags flying there. But to Sun Wanrong's surprise, those flags that were supposed to be his own army's flags unexpectedly turned into
took the flag of the Tang army.
"Ah, hateful, why did the damn Tang thief climb up to the heights on both sides and kill our soldiers? How did the Tang thief know that our army had laid an ambush there? Who leaked this?
The secret?”
Sun Wanrong was originally very complacent and formulated an almost perfect plan, but he did not expect that his plans were frustrated one after another as soon as he started. The tens of thousands of crossbow arrows before only caused minimal damage to the Tang army. Not long after that,
, only to find that all of their own people were gone, and the place where their own soldiers should have been ambushed was actually replaced by soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Such a blow can definitely make people vomit blood in depression. Fortunately, Sun Wanrong is also a person who can withstand the blow. After seeing this scene, he did not lose heart and immediately ordered the main force of the army to appear behind the flat land in front and attack the Tang army.
Launch an attack.
"Although our army did not cause harm to the Ertang bandits as expected, as long as our army occupies the exit of this valley and firmly blocks the direction of your advance, even if you have an army of 100,000, what can you do?
What can I do?"
Sun Wanrong's plan was indeed good, because they firmly occupied the geographical advantage. Although the flat area of the Tang Army was very flat, there was a narrow passage not far ahead. At most, two people could walk side by side at the same time, and one man was carrying them.
When the pass is closed, no one can open it. Even if the Tang army fights bravely, it will be difficult for them to pass through.
Li Xian also knew this very well. He knew that this was the most difficult part of the entire plan. It was indeed very difficult for the army to successfully pass through this narrow passage.
However, this does not mean that Li Xian does not want to continue moving forward. After all, this narrow passage is not long, only more than ten feet away. As long as he breaks through here, it will be a clear path. By then, only his five hundred elite guards will be able to
Protect the army to break through the Khitan's defense and then engage in a decisive battle with the opponent.
However, this distance of more than ten years is quite dangerous. Although the guards are good at martial arts, they will still suffer a lot of damage if they want to rush out. And these people are Li Xian's absolute confidants who have been carefully trained. Even if they are
Losing one of them would be heartbreaking, so Li Xian was not willing to let them suffer heavy losses by passing through this narrow passage.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Li Xian decided to fight in person. Although he might be a little injured in this way, with his martial arts skills and this armor with strong defense, as long as he is careful, he should be able to
There won't be any problem.
Of course, Li Xian didn't want to kill him alone. After all, this passage could accommodate two people walking together, so it was natural for him to have one more person on his side, so that he could at least avoid being surrounded.
As for this other candidate, Li Xian decided to choose Yang Sixu.
There are two reasons for this. The first is naturally because Yang Sixu is highly skilled in martial arts and is the person with the highest martial arts skills in the army besides Li Xian. The second is because Yang Sixu is an eunuch and has a cruel nature. Although such a temperament is somewhat bad, it can be put aside.
On the battlefield, it can have a relatively strong deterrent effect on the enemy.
But after hearing that Li Xian actually wanted to fight in person, they were asked to slowly follow behind. The guards around Li Xian all looked humiliated and guilty, and they all asked to take Li Xian's place in the battle, even if they died.
They were unwilling to let His Highness the Crown Prince, who was so kind to them, take risks to protect them.
However, Li Xian resolutely stopped their behavior and said in a deep voice: "You are all my good subordinates and good brothers. You have been with me in continuous battles over the years, and some of you have even been with me for twenty years.
So in terms of feelings, you can be regarded as my life and death brothers. Although the current situation is a bit critical, it is not fatal for me, but you are different. After all, your martial arts are still far behind. If it were any of you,
, not only is it difficult to complete the task, but I am afraid there is a high possibility of leaving my life here. A man is destined to die, but he must die in a proper way. Besides, you have protected me for more than ten years, and I only protect you.
Once, what's wrong? Well, stop talking nonsense and act like a bitch. When this battle is over, I'll treat you to a drink."
After finishing speaking, Li Xian laughed, took Yang Sixu's hand, and rushed towards the narrow passage together.
Behind Li Xian, the guards around him, including people like Gao Sheji, all looked ashamed. Although they all had a heart that looked back upon death, because they were not strong enough, they could only
Watching their lord fight against the enemy for them was really more uncomfortable than killing them, so they all secretly gritted their teeth and swore that they would practice hard and protect His Highness the Crown Prince forever.
Such an embarrassing scene must not happen again, otherwise they will die of shame.
Although Li Xian understood the mood of his loyal and brave subordinates, he did not pay any attention to them, but headed boldly towards the battlefield with Yang Sixu.
Although his martial arts skills are much inferior to Li Xian's, and he has to take great risks, Yang Sixu is not nervous at all, but is extremely excited, because he believes that through this battle, he will be completely established.
In terms of status in Li Xian's heart, after Li Xian ascends the throne in the future, he will be regarded as a dragon and be named a general, which is also very good. Although he can no longer marry a wife and have children, after all, the family
There are also nephews. As long as one of them is adopted, his title can be passed down from generation to generation.
On the other hand, he is an imperfect person. It is rare that the Crown Prince thinks so highly of him. Naturally, he will try his best to repay the other party's kindness. The saying that a scholar dies for a confidant is not what he is like now.
