Chapter 239 The military heart is shaken
"boom!"
The gate of Heyang City opened, and a large number of black-armored knights rushed out of the city gate and galloped northward.
Among the large number of black-armored knights, there were several thick cotton coats mixed in. The unsightly riding technique was particularly conspicuous in the agile Yingyang Camp.
But they are the protagonists of this mission, because they are the staff officers sent by Yang You to investigate the terrain.
The survey on the first day was very smooth, and Yingyang Camp was successfully advanced for fifty miles.
On the second day, Yingyang Camp began a small-scale contact with Li Yuan's scout and had a fight. Yingyang Camp won a great victory and advanced 30 miles again.
On the third day, the war began to be fierce. The Tang army's detectives had frequent contact with Yingyang Camp. Under the powerful combat power of Yingyang Camp, the Tang army's detectives retreated step by step, and the scope of their activities gradually narrowed.
"drive!"
A Tang army scout was full of panic and whipped the war horse under his crotch vigorously. The maroon war horse suddenly accelerated in pain.
It was almost here, and Hancheng was ahead. It was safe when it arrived. Seeing hope was right in front of you, the scout couldn't help but smile.
"Da da da da da."
A rapid sound of horse hooves appeared behind the scout. A cavalry in black armor followed closely behind.
The Tang army scout turned back in horror and saw the black-armored cavalry's face pale, as if seeing a devil.
It was such a ghostly black armored cavalry. I don’t know how many brothers he had killed. He was lucky to be able to return here alive.
"drive!"
The scout sucked the bay red horse, which was already gasping under his crotch.
The jujube-red war horses are connected to the spirit, and they also know that it is a life-and-death crisis at this moment. They have the ultimate potential for explosion, and their four hooves are flying. They are running towards a bluestone bridge.
Hancheng is built next to the water, and a winding river flows slowly through the south gate of Hancheng. Locals call this river Hanshui, which is named after Hanshui.
This bluestone bridge is ten miles in radius and the only way to cross the Han River and reach Hancheng.
The moment the war horse stepped onto the bluestone bridge, the scout couldn't help but relax, and Hancheng was right in front of him.
At this moment, a crossbow arrow mixed with the sound of the wind came, and the scout felt ache in his heart, and the smile on his face instantly frozen, and he fell on the war horse.
"hateful!"
Li Shimin angrily hammered the city wall and roared.
"The Sui army is really too bullying." Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth. They were actually beaten to the city gate.
Li Yuan was also full of anger. In the past few days, the Sui army used the Yingyang camp to sweep the entire south of the Han River, and the Tang army scouts suffered heavy losses.
Seeing the frightened war horses running into Hancheng with unknown soldiers, Li Shimin was extremely unwilling to accept it.
"Father! Let the child mobilize the Xuanjia Army! Otherwise we will know nothing about the south of Hanshui." Li Shimin said angrily. At this moment, he already knew Yang You's plan. He wanted to make the Tang army blind and deaf.
The Xuanjia Army is the most elite unit of the Tang army. Li Yuan was founded to resist the Turks before. Now with Li Yuan's rebellion, the Xuanjia Army has become the last killer weapon of the Tang army.
"No, the Xuanjia Army is the foundation of the Tang army. It can only be used during the decisive battle." Li Yuan shook his head.
He knew that this was not a time to act voluntarily, and even if the Xuanjia Army attacked, it might not be able to defeat the world-famous Yingyang Camp.
Li Shimin looked at the black-clad soldiers in black and armored gathered in front of the Bluestone Bridge with anger, and felt extremely angry.
To the south of the Bluestone Bridge, a large group of black-armored cavalry surrounded Li Jing in military uniform and Fang Xuanling in military coat.
"Please look at it by Lord Fang!"
Li Jing handed the telescope to Fang Xuanling next to him.
"Thank you General Li!"
Fang Xuanling took the telescope without hesitation and thanked him.
Picking up the telescope, Fang Xuanling carefully observed the terrain of Hancheng, the width and flow of Han water, one by one in his heart. This is his most important task today.
While Fang Xuanling was observing the terrain, Li Jing was also squinting his eyes and looking at the city wall opposite.
Hancheng is just an ordinary county town, and the city walls are not tall. If it weren't for the Han River ahead, Hancheng would have been able to fight down.
However, it is winter now, and the Han water has already dried up and the water level is very shallow. Moreover, the Han water is an ordinary small river with a river channel that is not wide.
Through Han Shui, Li Jing could even see dense figures on the city wall. In Li Jing's mind, he had already had more than a dozen ways to cross the river.
Fang Xuanling looked at the blue faces of Li Yuan and his son in the round hole, and couldn't help but smile.
Fang Xuanling in his previous life relied on Li Shimin to achieve his achievements, but in this life, Fang Xuanling probably has to achieve his achievements by stepping on the Li family's father and son. History has turned a corner at this moment and made a shocking joke.
"Thank you General Li!"
Fang Xuanling put down and returned the telescope in his hand to Li Jing.
"Sir Fang, are you going back now?" Li Jing asked.
His most important task today is not to wipe out the scouts of the Tang army, but to protect Fang Xuanling to investigate Hancheng. Of course, Fang Xuanling should be the main focus.
Fang Xuanling smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course we have to leave, but before leaving, His Highness Dai Wang wants to give Li Yuan and his son a gift."
"Oh!" Li Jing was curious.
Fang Xuanling whispered a few words.
"Take it seriously?" Li Jing said in surprise.
After receiving Fang Xuanling's affirmative answer, Li Jing was in a state of great excitement and continued to give excitement.
"Liu Wuzhou has captured Taiyuan, and you are homeless. His Highness Dai has an order to kill only the evil ones, and the rest surrender to avoid death!"
"Liu Wuzhou has captured Taiyuan, and you are homeless. His Highness Dai has an order to kill only the evil ones, and the rest surrender to avoid death!"
…………
Nearly a thousand soldiers from Yingyang Camp shouted in unison, shouting ten times in a row, and the sound instantly spread throughout Hancheng County.
In an instant, all Tang soldiers were stunned, and then there was an uproar.
"Has Taiyuan been captured?"
"How is this possible?"
"How could Liu Wuzhou attack us!"
All the soldiers looked at Li Yuan and his son together.
You should know that Li Yuan really raised an army in Taiyuan, and most of the Tang army were from Taiyuan. Now that Liu Wuzhou has captured Taiyuan, wouldn’t they stayed in Taiyuan’s wife and children, and they would fall under Liu Wuzhou’s iron cavalry?
"That was the Sui army's trick, they were all fake!" Li Shimin took the lead in reacting and shouted loudly.
Other Tang army generals also reacted and pacified the soldiers.
"Taiyuan is not far from us. Taiyuan has changed. We must get the news first. The Sui army is really lying."
"Taiyuan walls are high and the city is thick, and no one can break them in a short period of time."
"We have the help of the Turks, and no matter how brave Liu Wuzhou is, he will never dare to attack us."
………………………………………
For a moment, the generals tried their best to comfort some restless soldiers.
"His Highness Dai Wang is wise, this time the Tang army must have been shaken!"
Li Jing saw the riots of the Tang army on the city wall from the telescope, and couldn't help but admire him.
