Four hundred and ninetieth chapters: Qin Qiong kills
Outside the city, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji and Hou Junji jointly launched an attack on Luo Shixin. At first, Hou Junji had a sense of disdain to bully the few. But Duan Zhixuan quickly shouted: "This is the country." That’s what you want.” Hou Junji heard this. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only join forces with Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji.
Duan Zhixuan and the three of them joined forces, and the effect was immediately apparent. Luo Shixin, who had the upper hand before, was immediately in crisis. No matter how powerful Luo Shixin was, he only had two hands. He was in trouble for a while. Although he relied on brute force We can still support it for a while, but it won't be long before Luo Shixin will be defeated.
"How can you be a hero by bullying the few?" At this moment, another angry shout suddenly came from behind Luo Shixin. Then, two more cavalry were seen rushing out of the military formation behind Luo Shixin. One of them rushed over on horseback and shouted angrily: "General Luo, don't panic. Our brothers are here to help you."
One of the two knights was holding a silver spear, and the other was holding a long sword. One was on the left and the other on the right. But they rushed over directly and took the attacks of Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji. There were two less opponents. Luo Shixin immediately felt much more relaxed. I turned around and saw that these two people were recognized by me. They were Tai Shifeng and Du Hao, the young generals in the army.
Since the brothers Tai Shifeng and Du Hao took refuge in Wanhe's tent, they have been fighting in Hebei with Changsun Heng'an. Last year, Changsun Heng'an returned to Luoyang. Naturally, their brothers also followed them to Luoyang. After the army was reorganized, the brothers also mixed up. The position of a general. He served in the army. This time Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin sent troops. They also set off with the team. Luo Shixin served as the vanguard. Tai Shifeng and Du Hao did not go with them originally. However, the two of them were in Hongnong. I had nothing to do, so I asked Qin Qiong for a favor, and the two of them followed.
The two of them had already felt itchy when they saw Luo Shixin killing everyone before. However, Luo Shixin had previously told them that they were not allowed to take action in this battle, so they stayed in the military formation and did not move. Now they saw Luo Shixin in danger. They I couldn't bear it anymore. Then I came to help. I saw the silver gun in Tai Shi Feng's hand waving like clouds. He showed his family's marksmanship to the fullest. He directly dragged Duan Zhixuan back. Although Du Hao on the other side was not as good as Tai Shi. Feng was so powerful, but his sword skills were erratic around Liu Hongji, as slippery as a loach. Liu Hongji was so angry that he screamed. Without the interruption of Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji, Luo Shixin seized the opportunity again. Take the initiative, shoot one shot at a time, suppress Hou Junji and hit him.
On the top of the city, I didn't expect that the battle situation that was originally a sure thing would turn out like this. Two more masters jumped out from Liang Jun. Li Shimin couldn't help but grit his teeth. Li Shimin was cruel. He turned around and said to Li Jiancheng: "Brother, this time The battle has been going on till now, and I can’t stop. If we lose this battle, our Li Tang’s reputation will be greatly damaged.”
After Li Shimin said this, Li Jiancheng also hesitated. It is true that it is unwise to start a war with Wan He. But in this situation, if he loses, it will not be good for his reputation. After all, this is his first time. The original intention of leading troops on an expedition was to earn military honors. If he lost, his position would be even more unstable. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng also turned his attention to Wei Ting next to him and asked for his opinion.
And Wei Ting was also full of bitterness at the moment. He was indeed not a talented person in this field. He did not think of this reason. Now Li Jiancheng was already riding a tiger and it was impossible to win. Wei Ting could only nod to Li Jiancheng. Seeing Wei Ting Ting also agreed. Li Jiancheng then turned his head and said to Li Shimin: "Okay. Then let's do everything according to the second brother's wishes."
Li Shimin was also overjoyed to get Li Jiancheng's approval. He didn't care so much now. Killing the danger of Luo Shixin at the beginning was the most important issue in Li Shimin's eyes. Li Shimin immediately waved his hand and shouted: "The whole army attacks ." That's right. Li Shimin no longer has the patience to wait until Duan Zhixuan and the others decide the winner. He wants to kill Luo Shixin and the 10,000 Liang troops outside the city in one go.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, another shout rang out, interrupting Li Shimin's order. Li Shimin's face sank. He turned around and saw that it was a general who was staying behind. He recognized this man. He was also a general under his command. His name was Changsun Shunde. He was the younger brother of Changsun Sheng, a famous general in the Sui Dynasty. Although his archery skills were not as magical as Changsun Sheng's, they could be regarded as the magic arrows of Li Shimin's men. I saw Changsun Shunde's eyes narrowed, but he looked towards the southeast. His face was also shocked. He pointed to the southeast and shouted: "My lord, it's not good. There is an army in front of us." Come and kill them. There are quite a few of them."
Hearing Changsun Shunde say this, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng and others were all startled. At the same time, they looked in the direction of Changsun Shunde's finger. Sure enough, among the hills in the southeast, there was a huge cloud rising up. Dust. Changsun Shunde is a master of archery, so his eyesight is much better than others. Although Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng can't see as clearly as Changsun Shunde, they can tell just by looking at the rising dust that the number of soldiers and horses coming is not high. Young Master. Immediately Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's faces turned pale. Even if they thought with their toes, they knew that this person was not a good person.
Immediately, Li Jiancheng didn't care so much anymore. He shouted directly at the soldiers who were fighting outside the city: "Retreat. Retreat quickly. Everyone return to the city. Come, hurry up and withdraw your troops." Li Jiancheng said the last words. He shouted to behind him. When he shouted, the soldiers of the Tang Army behind him also reacted. Soon, the sound of ringing gold was heard from the top of the city. It's no wonder that Li Jiancheng reacted so loudly. Liang Jun of Hongnong didn't know either. How many of them? It's just a shame to retreat into the city now. If the other party rushes into the city, it will be dangerous.
After hearing the sound of ringing gold, all the generals who were fighting fiercely outside the city stopped subconsciously. Duan Zhixuan and the other three took a few steps back and looked towards the city head behind them in surprise. They could not see anything in the distance. They didn't understand why the troops were ordered to withdraw. However, the military orders were overwhelming. In addition, the battle situation was not prevailing. They could only retreat back to the city bitterly.
Seeing the opponent retreating, Luo Shixin gave up. He was enjoying the fight. Luo Shixin waved the big gun and started muttering: "Damn it. If you want to fight, you can fight. If you want to run, you can run. How can that be so? Simple thing. Boy, don’t run away. If you can, fight me for another 300 rounds.”
"General Luo." Tai Shifeng and Du Hao, one on the left and the other on the right, tried to persuade Luo Shixin to stop him. Du Hao smiled and said, "Don't chase after poor bandits. General, please don't forget General Qin's previous instructions."
After hearing Du Hao's words, Luo Shixin remembered Qin Qiong's explanation to him before this battle. His neck suddenly couldn't help shrinking. He had already thrown Qin Qiong's instructions out of the sky, and now he was fighting with Li Tang. Is this considered a big disaster? Thinking of this, Luo Shixin immediately turned his head and said to the two of them: "Oh, I almost missed the main thing. Let's go back now. Let's talk about what we came here for this time. .No one is allowed to tell Shubao."
When Luo Shixin said this, Tai Shifeng and Du Hao couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly. How could such a thing be hidden? And at this moment, the sound of footsteps of soldiers and horses in the distance was also faintly heard. Come over. The three of them all turned their heads at the same time. Looking at the shadow of the army that had appeared in the field of vision, Du Hao smiled bitterly and said: "General Luo, you should explain this matter yourself."
Came from the southeast. There were so many soldiers and horses. The person here was naturally Qin Qiong. Luo Shixin also turned pale and couldn't help but shrink his head. It's not that Luo Shixin was afraid of Qin Qiong. It was just that he was really afraid this time. He did something wrong. Seeing Qin Qiong coming, Luo Shixin inevitably felt guilty.
Soon, the soldiers and horses had already reached the outside of Huayin City. The number of this army was indeed quite large. There were a full 80,000 troops. Plus Luo Shixin's 10,000 troops, even if they attack Huayin now, it would be nothing. Problem. With so many soldiers and horses stationed outside the city, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin on the top of the city couldn't help but turn blue.
Immediately afterwards, the leading general walked towards Luo Shixin on horseback. This general was none other than Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong walked up to Luo Shixin on horseback and glared at Luo Shixin with an angry and funny look. Luo Shixin said before But he patted his chest. But now it has become such a situation. Qin Qiong really didn't know what to say about Luo Shixin. Being stared at by Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin also smiled and scratched the back of his head and said to Qin Qiong: "Haha. .Um, Uncle Bao, why are you here?"
"Hmph." Qin Qiong snorted angrily and said, "I won't come. If I don't come, I'm afraid I will be exposed by you today."
When Qin Qiong said this, if Luo Shixin had his usual temper, he would have lost his temper a long time ago. But now that Luo Shixin was in the wrong, he dared not talk too much. He could only accept the punishment honestly. Tai Shifeng and Du Hao were next to him. As soon as he heard Qin Qiong's tone, he knew something was wrong. He immediately shrank to the side and kept a certain distance from Luo Shixin, so as not to harm Chi Yu. Seeing the actions of the two brothers, Luo Shixin also glared at them. In the end, it was Tian. He said with a face: "That uncle, this, this is really not my fault. It's all their provocation. Of course I can't be a coward."
"You can go back and talk to the prince yourself." Qin Qiong ignored Luo Shixin's nonsense. She glared at him and walked straight to the city gate. She raised her head and shouted to the city: "Prince Liang's tent. General Hu Benlang, Qin Qiong, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince of Tang Dynasty."
