Seven hundred and twentieth chapters: Huayin's battle VII
Although it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, he was finally prepared. So when he saw Li Shimin's army appearing, Li Jing quickly formed a defensive formation. Li Jing was a little nervous in his heart, but his face remained calm. He spoke quietly to his opponent. The deputy general under my command issued an order to set up Liang Jun's defensive formation in the shortest possible time.
Looking at the Tang army rushing forward, the eldest son Heng'an beside Li Jing also looked frightened. He said to Li Jing: "General Li, thank you for being prepared in time. Otherwise, we would be in trouble."
What Changsun Heng'an said is correct. At this moment, the army rushing from behind Liang Jun is fully 60,000. Although it is less than Liang Jun's soldiers and horses, if it is really caught by surprise by Tang Jun, plus The front is fighting the Tang army in Huayin City again. It is very likely that they will be attacked from both sides and end in a crushing defeat.
Li Jing's face did not relax at all. He said in a deep voice: "I thought this battle was fishy before. Li Shimin is not an idiot. He placed such an important battle in Huayin City, which had insufficient city defense. And he will be the commander-in-chief. The position was handed over to Yin Kaishan. With Li Shimin's character, this battle will definitely be commanded personally. But just now Yin Kaishan suddenly withdrew the generals who left the city. This move is even more problematic. That's why I will I think there is some fraud involved."
Although he saw through Li Shimin's plan, Li Jing was not happy, because this could not change Liang Jun's current predicament. Although Li Jing had made preparations in advance, if the fight continued like this, even if he could win, it would be a disaster. A tragic victory. And even if Li Shimin lost this battle, he could completely retreat to Chang'an. With Chang'an's city defense and Liang Jun's defensive strength greatly damaged, that would definitely not be a problem. What a Li Shimin. Set up such an undefeated situation.
Li Jing's brows furrowed. Although according to this analysis, Liang Jun's expedition to Chang'an will definitely end in failure no matter what. But this does not mean that Li Jing has no way to break this deadlock. He raised his head. The two armies ahead have begun to clash. .And in the Tang army's formation, Li Shimin's golden armor looked particularly dazzling. Li Jing's eyes flashed with light. He shouted to Changsun Heng'an beside him in a deep voice: "General Changsun, all the chances of victory depend on you. Look. Are you here? Shoot Li Shimin." As he said this, Li Jing pointed his finger at Li Shimin in the distance.
That's right. Shoot Li Shimin. Li Shimin's role in the Tang army is comparable to Wan He's role in Liang Jun. Although Wan He has a large number of outstanding and peerless generals such as Li Jing and Qin Qiong under his command, he also has a group of highly resourceful counselors. But if something happens to Wan He, then Liang Jun's strength will definitely fall apart in a short period of time. The same goes for the Tang Army. Li Shimin is the pillar of the entire Tang Dynasty. If Li Shimin, the undefeated God of War of the Tang Army, has What an accident. Then the morale of the Tang army will fall directly to the bottom. No matter how many generals Li Shimin has who are capable of fighting, the Tang army will definitely lose in this battle.
After hearing Li Jing's words, Changsun Heng'an also nodded repeatedly. He immediately took off the iron bow from his back. At the same time, he took out five arrows with his backhand. Changsun Heng'an also knew the importance of this attack, so he took action as soon as he took action. Five-arrow volley. Although the five-arrow volley is not Changsun Heng'an's strongest archery level, Changsun Heng'an used the five-arrow volley to injure the Tang Army general Duan Zhixuan before. This shows the power of this move.
Immediately, Changsun Heng'an held the five arrows in the palm of his hand. He bent the bow and aimed the arrow at Li Shimin in front. He opened his hand and shot. The five arrows immediately came out of the string and shot towards Li Shimin in front of him. .
"Your Majesty, be careful." Seeing that five arrows were about to hit Li Shimin, at this moment, a shout rang out. Then, three arrows suddenly flew out from the Tang army's formation. Directly with Changsun. The five arrows shot by Heng'an collided and knocked down three of them in an instant. The remaining two arrows continued to fly towards Li Shimin. However, Li Shimin was reminded. He was on guard and swung the sword in his hand repeatedly, knocking down the remaining two arrows to the ground.
A chance to kill was ruined like this. Changsun Heng'an couldn't help but be stunned. His solid eyes turned directly to the direction where the three arrows were shot before. But he happened to see a Tang Army general. He is holding a long bow and maintaining an archery posture. This person is also an acquaintance of Changsun Heng'an. It is Wang Bodang, the sharp archer of Wagang Village who fought against Changsun Heng'an that day.
At this moment, Wang Bodang was wearing the armor of a general of the Tang army. Together with Li Mi, who led the Pushan public camp, he followed the Tang army to launch an offensive towards Liang Jun. Li Mi had already surrendered to Li Shimin. Naturally, Wang Bodang would also defect to serve under Li Shimin. No matter whether Li Mi is loyal to Li Shimin or not, at least they still have to fight side by side in front of their common enemy.
"Hmph." Seeing that his former subordinates had ruined his own affairs, Changsun Heng'an was also very unhappy. He stared at Wang Bodang with his eyes tightly. He once again grabbed an arrow from the quiver behind him with his right hand. Arrow. There were six arrows in this grasp. It was actually Changsun Heng'an's strongest six-arrow salvo. Changsun Heng'an held six arrows in his hand. He bent the bow and nocked the arrow. He directly pulled the iron bow to the shape of a full moon. But He was not aiming at Wang Bodang. He was still aiming at Li Shimin. However, he glanced at Wang Bodang from the corner of his eye. It seemed that you wanted to stop him again.
And Wang Bodang's face was also ugly. The three arrows he had just shot were beyond Wang Bodang's strength. Now Wang Bodang's fingers drawing the bow were stained with blood and were still shaking. Just seeing Changsun Heng'an's actions made Wang Bodang grit his teeth and look unconvinced. He grabbed three arrows again, put them on the long bow and prepared to draw the bow. At this moment, Li Mi also looked worried. He put his hand on Wang Bodang's shoulder and said, "Bodang, can you do that?"
Li Mi was indeed worried. But he was not worried about Li Shimin's safety. He was worried about Wang Bodang. Since the destruction of Wagang Village, the only available person around Li Mi was Wang Bodang. Although Xu Shiji's skills were Yes. But Xu Shiji didn't listen to Li Mi's orders at all. Only Wang Bodang was still loyal to him. If Li Mi wanted to make a comeback in the future, he couldn't do without Wang Bodang's support.
Hearing Li Mi's concerned words, Wang Bodang also had a rare smile on his face. He nodded lightly to Li Mi. In the end, he gritted his teeth and pulled hard. He pulled the long bow to the full moon again. This force .Suddenly, Uncle Wang's finger that hooked the bow string was bleeding. The bow string was completely embedded in the flesh of the finger. Even the bones could be seen. This shows how much pain the finger suffered. But even so, Uncle Wang He still gritted his teeth and refused to let go. His eyes were fixed on Changsun Heng'an in front of him, waiting for the opponent to release the arrow.
Seeing Wang Bodang's actions, Changsun Heng'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a sneer. He took a deep breath, opened his hand and shot out six arrows. The six arrows were instantly ejected from the bowstring. They flew towards the direction quickly. It flew in the direction of Li Shimin. It flew in the air and even kept exchanging positions. Six-arrow volley and five-arrow volley were not just as simple as adding one more arrow. The power of this move was .much larger than the previous five-arrow salvo.
When he saw Changsun Heng'an's arrow, Wang Bodang's expression also changed. He gritted his teeth, roared, and loosened the bow string. The three arrows flew out with Wang Bodang's blood. In the blink of an eye, they shot out. It collided with the six arrows shot by Changsun Heng'an. Two dinging sounds were heard. Among the three arrows, only two arrows collided with the target. The other arrow actually missed the target. .
There were four arrows left. They shot towards Li Shimin quickly with strong force. But this time, although Li Shimin was fully prepared, there were even several personal guards standing in front of Li Shimin. But when he saw Their expressions changed at the arrow that flew towards them. They had been fighting with Li Shimin on the battlefield for many years, but they had never seen an arrow with such a weird trajectory. This kind of arrow spinning around in the air made them... How can people block it?
But Li Shimin is not an ordinary person. When he saw this scene, he didn't show any panic on his face. Instead, he opened his hand and waved. Immediately after, five or six figures jumped out from Li Shimin's side and quickly blocked Li Shimin's path. In front of him, when the four arrows flew left and right, up and down, in front of Li Shimin, the figures also transformed into countless shadows, covering the four arrows. .After the shadows dispersed, the four arrows also lost their traces.
"Xiaoyao Sect." There was a loud shout immediately beside Li Jing. Then, a figure flashed out from behind Li Jing. It was Zhang Qingyu, a master of Tianyin Sect. At this moment, Zhang Qingyu's face was solemn.
Zhang Qingyu's sudden appearance surprised Li Jing and Changsun Heng'an. Zhang Qingyu was a master guarding Li Jing and others at Tianyin Sect. He had been accompanying Li Jing and others to protect him. After all, Wan He had seen him before when he was in Chang'an. People who have passed through Xiaoyaomen have appeared in Chang'an. There is no guarantee that they will not encounter people from Xiaoyaomen when entering Chang'an this time. That's why Wanhe specifically asked Tianyinmen for experts to protect Li Jing and others.
Li Jing is also half a Jianghu person, so he quickly got used to Zhang Qingyu's sudden appearance. Hearing Zhang Qingyu's words, he also asked Zhang Qingyu in surprise: "General Zhang, you just said Xiaoyaomen. Could it be..."
"Not bad." Zhang Qingyu's face looked a little ugly. He waved his hand behind him. Suddenly, dozens of figures popped out from behind him. At the same time, Zhang Qingyu also shouted in a deep voice: "Those people are all from Xiaoyaomen. Xiaoyaomen Sure enough, he secretly supports Datang."
