Pan Qingyang was still guarding the city gate. He stood on the city tower with his head held high, showing a look of pride. Pan Qingyang looked at the scene downstairs with a look of gloating in his eyes, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face. At the same time, The surrounding soldiers guarding the city were also laughing, and some even laughed heartily, without any serious appearance.
Under the tower, you can see dark soldiers staggering around.
The leader is Li Xiucheng.
At this moment, Li Xiucheng is thousands of miles away from his original appearance. In the past, Li Xiucheng stood in the crowd with his majestic appearance, standing out from the crowd, and had a feeling of being outstanding. Now he gives people a feeling of extreme embarrassment, as if he is going out. The feeling of stepping on dog poop and bird poop falling on your head is unlucky and decadent.
Li Xiucheng's back was slightly hunched, his body was rickety, his clothes were in tatters, the shoe on his right foot was rotten, and the big toe of his right foot was exposed. His hair was curly and yellow, and his jet-black hair no longer existed.
The sword-like eyebrows were bare, leaving only the washed eyebrows.
The two beards on his lips were curled like a hook, and there was only a handful of beard under his chin. His face was full of dust, and his eyes were full of tiredness. Not only that, Li Xiucheng's face also had There were burn marks on his arms and thighs, and his whole body looked like he had rushed out of a fire.
After Li Xiucheng's death, there were only more than 800 soldiers left.
At the beginning, Li Xiucheng led 10,000 elite soldiers to fight out of Changshu County with high spirits, but now the appearance of his return is unpredictable. There are only 800 people left out of 10,000 people, which is so sad.
The injuries of these soldiers were even more serious.
Half of the soldiers' faces had been burned to a pulp and were still bleeding with pus; some soldiers had their scalps burned and were staring naked at their injured heads; some soldiers had only one arm left, or only one. leg……
The situation of each soldier is bleak.
When Pan Qingyang saw the appearance of Li Xiucheng and the returning soldiers, he was not sad, only happy. He laughed unbridled and said: "Li Xiucheng, this is the second time you returned to Changshu County in embarrassment. The last time you lost three thousand Elite, this time you lost 10,000 elites. You are really good. You are worthy of Yang Xiuqing's respect. Unfortunately, you still can't help the mud on the wall. Wait, I will open the city gate for you immediately and enter the city. "
Immediately, Pan Qingyang ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.
Crunch.
After the city gate opened, Li Xiucheng hesitated.
Looking at the empty city gate, Li Xiucheng's expression became extremely solemn, his eyes flashed with pain, and the battle on the way to Fushan Town came to mind.
In that battle, he lost 10,000 elite men, and he only managed to escape after using up all his soldiers.
Li Xiucheng received the order that day and led 10,000 elite troops to leave Changshu County.
Along the way, Li Xiucheng led his army at a gallop and quietly approached Fushan Town.
For two days, Li Xiucheng traveled at night and led his army to hide during the day. After all, ten thousand people were too obvious. Once he traveled during the day, the target would be easily exposed and the effect of a surprise attack would not be achieved.
Two days later, Li Xiucheng led his army into Fushan Town.
Li Xiucheng settled the army and sent scouts to find out about the Qing army.
It took half a day to find the traces of the Qing army. They found that the Qing army was running towards Changshu County and setting up camp near the mountains and forests after nightfall. When Li Xiucheng found out the news, he felt happy and secretly thought that Li Zhen was too careless. Well, you actually camped against the mountains and forests. Isn’t this asking for death?
Although the camp was still some distance from the mountains and forests, Li Zhen could be eliminated by attacking the Qing army camp at night, forcing Li Zhen and the Qing soldiers into the mountains and forests, and then setting fire to the mountains.
In particular, Li Xiucheng believed that there was no trace of the army's arrival in Fushan Town, and there was nothing wrong with attacking the Qing army.
Li Xiucheng made a prompt decision and led 10,000 elite troops to attack the Qing army camp that night.
The army rushed into the camp, only to find it empty. Li Xiucheng knew that he had been tricked and ordered a retreat, but it was too late because Smith and Lu Shaochuan had already led three thousand soldiers to fight back.
The Qing army blocked the entrance to the camp and threw grenades one after another, which landed in the camp and set off waves of heat.
Under suppressed fire, Li Xiucheng's soldiers were unable to exit the camp.
Li Xiucheng saw fires everywhere in the camp, and the army was unable to break out of the encirclement. In desperation, Li Xiucheng had no choice but to order to penetrate the Qing army camp and enter into the mountain forest. After entering, Li Xiucheng was still praying that the Qing army would not Setting the mountain on fire was something that Li Xiucheng could think of, but Smith and Lu Shaochuan also thought of it.
Li Xiucheng led his army into the mountains and forests, but Smith and Lu Shaochuan immediately set fire to the mountains. Poor Li Xiucheng's 10,000 elite soldiers suffered a fatal blow before they had time to show their combat effectiveness.
Of the 10,000 elites, not many are left.
Surrounded by soldiers, Li Xiucheng broke out and saved his life.
The Qing army covered up the killing again, killing Li Xiucheng until he abandoned his helmet and armor.
Galloping all the way, Li Xiucheng escaped back. Li Xiucheng knew that he would be severely punished if he lost. However, Li Xiucheng had to flee back to Changshu County. If he did not return to Changshu County, there would be Qing troops chasing him, and Li Xiucheng would not be able to escape. After defeating the enemy, Li Xiucheng looked defeated and had no idea of arguing with Pan Qingyang.
Three times in a row, three times in a row, he fell into the hands of Li Zhen.
"General, enter the city."
Li Xiucheng stood still in a daze, and a school captain next to him reminded him that everyone had been running around continuously and was already exhausted. After returning to Changshu County, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let's go."
Li Xiucheng sighed and walked straight into the city. Li Xiucheng led the soldiers into the city. Pan Qingyang also walked down from the tower. Pan Qingyang looked at the soldiers beside Li Xiucheng and directly ordered: "Brothers, you have suffered. Let's all go back to the military camp and rest. Li Xiucheng led the army and was defeated, so we have to see the prince first."
Pan Qingyang looked at Li Xiucheng and said, "Are you going to the county government by yourself, or will I let the soldiers tie you up?"
Li Xiucheng said nothing, lowered his head and walked in the direction of the county government.
Pan Qingyang's lips curled up into a sneer, and he already had the idea of watching a good show, especially when he thought that Li Xiucheng had issued a military order and would be beheaded if he failed to complete the task. Let's see how Li Xiucheng escaped.
…
County government, backyard.
When Qin Rigang got the news of Li Xiucheng's defeat, he laughed loudly in the backyard. When he learned that Li Xiucheng and Pan Qingyang were already waiting in the hall, Qin Rigang quickly sent someone to find Li Zhen and said with a smile: "Military advisor, you are really clever. , just with a little trick, Li Xiucheng was solved. Li Xiucheng returned defeated and is waiting in the hall."
Li Zhen stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, Li Zhen is cunning and difficult to deal with. If Li Zhen hadn't been so powerful, Li Xiucheng wouldn't have failed so easily. However, if there is a poor Taoist person planning for the prince, Li Zhen will definitely have trouble." Return."
"I rely on my military advisor."
Qin Rigang and Li Zhen came to the hall talking and laughing.
After sitting down, Qin Rigang looked at Li Xiucheng standing in the hall and said in a deep voice: "Li Xiucheng, you issued a military order and stated that you would not defeat Li Zhen, so you voluntarily offered your head. Today you are defeated and come back. What do you say? "
Li Xiucheng was heartbroken and said directly: "I have nothing to say."
Qin Rigang snorted and shouted: "Come here, pull Li Xiucheng down and kill him."
Immediately, two soldiers hurried in.
"Wait a minute."
Just as the two soldiers walked up to Li Xiucheng and were about to reach out to lift Li Xiucheng up, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the hall. Not only Pan Qingyang, but also Qin Rigang was stunned. The two looked at each other with dissatisfaction on their faces. He looked relieved, because the person who stopped him was actually Li Zhen, and it was Li Zhen who had inspired General Li Xiu to issue the military order in the first place.
The person who wanted to kill Li Xiucheng was Li Zhen, and now the person who wants to save Li Xiucheng is still Li Zhen.
