Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4321
Towards dawn, the light rain began to fall again, the air was humid and cold, and a faint white air could be seen when the people and horses were panting. Yuchi Gong put on his helmet and armor and sat astride the horse, holding a lance in his hand, amid hundreds of relatives. Surrounded by soldiers, they walked slowly from the tents of the Chinese army, and where they passed, the guards on the right waited and the generals raised their chests and belly, and saluted with attention.

Tens of thousands of generals have high morale and are ready to go, without a trace of fatigue and slack after long-distance raids. This is the quality of the world's first-class strong army. How can a simple "wait for work" be able to deal with it calmly?

Yu Chigong looked at the tens of thousands of tigers under his command, and suddenly he was full of pride. In his hand, he pointed to the north direction: "Liu Yanjing is a nobody, he is young, and he thinks he is smart. He thinks that if he forms a camp, he can block us from this place. , tell me, can he do it?"

"No! No! No!"

"The jumping beam clown is trying to act like a car, tell me, what should I do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"I want to stand on the round mound and look at Chang'an City tomorrow morning, can you do it?"

"Walk through fire and water, do whatever you want!"

"Then, let the dignitaries in Chang'an City see our combat power, and the guards on the right are all over the world—"

"Invincible!"

After fully mobilizing the morale of the soldiers, Yu Chigong shouted: "Kill!"

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, and under the leadership of their respective lieutenants and school lieutenants, they braved the rain and hurried towards Fengqiyuan.

Yu Chigong sat on the horseback and looked at the dark night sky in the distance, and asked, "Has it been properly arranged?"

Su Jia said respectfully from one side: "Don't worry, Commander, the scouts have already set out to sneak to Fengqiyuan to contact all the internal responses. As long as the army arrives, they will lead the way to avoid the reality and kill them in the enemy's formation."

Yu Chigong let out a "hmm".

The sixth rate of the East Palace is the prince's pro-army. As the future emperor's team, he is naturally given special attention. Even though Li Chengqian never sat firmly in the reserve position, there are still many people who put his family's children in. After all, the prince is always the prince, and if he succeeds in the position It is equivalent to occupying a good position next to the future emperor.

Among them, the Guanlongmen Clan is naturally unwilling to be left behind, and its power is so intricate that it is difficult to clarify. Even after the downfall of the Guanlongmen Clan, many of the people who placed it were never found out and purged. Gradually be mobilized in several fixed troops.

This time Li Jing asked Liu Yanjing to lead the army. The army he led was the army that Li Jing reorganized and was full of troops whose positions and backgrounds could not be confirmed.

Since you can't identify your identity, background, and faction, let's send them to the front line and consume them...

The so-called "compassion does not command soldiers", as for how many innocent people there are in this army, it is not in Li Jing's consideration.

If Liu Yanjing acted according to Li Jing's intention, even if he was defeated this time, Li Jing would try his best to keep him safe and compensate him in the future.But Liu Yanjing obviously failed to comprehend Li Jing's intentions, pretending to be clever and trying to make a fortune...

Since the head was delivered to the door, how could Yu Chigong let it go?

For Li Jing, it is a hidden danger that cannot be identified, and must be eliminated; for Yu Chigong, the other party is the real Six Rate of the Eastern Palace, as long as it is completely defeated, it will be a great achievement, not only to boost the morale of the Jin King's army , and made a serious addition to his credit book.

why not?

Only Liu Yanjing thinks that he will be able to defend Fengqiyuan and make great contributions because of the good opportunity, and from then on, he will go straight up...

*****
It was darkest just before dawn, and the air was damp and cold with a light drizzle.

Fengqiyuan is adjacent to Fanchuan, and the terrain forms a natural ladder from high to low. Under Liu Yanjing's order, the whole army cut down trees and built simple camps on the spot, making the position more easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the tens of thousands of people were also exhausted. All day long, the soldiers were exhausted, and the soldiers huddled up in their tents and slept soundly.

Liu Yanjing sat in the tent, wearing a quilt over his armor, took a sip of hot tea, picked the candle wick with the tip of a knife to make the candle light brighter, so that he could read the military newspaper.

The light rain outside the tent pattered on the top of the tent, and the surrounding area was quiet.

Liu Yanjing frowned, put down his pen, raised his head and called out the soldiers outside the tent: "Why is it so quiet outside? Go and see if the soldiers in charge of security patrols everywhere are lazy. If anyone dares to be lazy, play slippery, neglect and slack, he will definitely be executed!"

"Here!"

The soldiers took the order and hurried out, and then there was a burst of yelling, and they gradually went away.

Liu Yanjing took another sip of tea, but he didn't have the heart to deal with official duties. He just got up and stood in front of the map to carefully observe the terrain and terrain, sweeping every small road and every river fork to see if there was any negligence in the defense of the position. .

He is under a lot of pressure. Although leading troops this time is equivalent to jumping into the dragon's gate and ascending to the sky in one step, he only needs to complete the mission to become a senior military officer. After the rebellion is suppressed in the future, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. He will be awarded the position of General of the Sixteenth Guards no matter what. , and may even be knighted for it.

But when the opportunity comes, he also faces a huge crisis, which can be called the biggest challenge in his life so far.

The one against him was Yu Chigong!
Zhenguan Xunchen is one of the only surviving famous generals who have achieved great achievements today. He has commanded well and bravely won the three armies. The existence of the first class of power used to be invincible and invincible in Liaodong...

If he is not careful, he will swallow the bitter fruit of defeat. Even if he suppresses the excitement in his heart to be alone in command of the army and sticks to Fengqiyuan, and gives up the chance to surprise the enemy to win, he dare not have the slightest fluke or carelessness.

After carefully checking the map, I didn't find any omissions in the defensive position I set up. Even if the enemy army dared to come and attack, when they arrived at Fengqiyuan, they would definitely trigger the peripheral alert. Even if the enemy's military strength is superior and the combat power is stronger, they still have the confidence to defend it for more than three days.

The current situation is changing rapidly. If the rebels want to succeed, they must arrive at the city of Chang'an as soon as possible to launch a siege battle, thereby leveraging the situation in the entire Guanzhong, and letting those who are still waiting and watching but have ambitions see the huge advantage of King Jin. He will send troops to respond, causing the emperor's side to be defeated like a mountain.

And as long as he holds back the right guard and allows the court to have more time to dispatch troops, the rebels' plan will inevitably fail, and the situation will completely move in a direction that is beneficial to the emperor, and Liu Yanjing's contribution will be completely Sit down.

……

Glancing at the more leaks placed on the table, it was Yin time, and the sky would be bright in a short time. Liu Yanjing yawned. The sound of the dripping rain suddenly felt drowsy, and his energy was exhausted, so he took off his quilt and put it aside casually, and lay on the bed made of templates in his armor and closed his eyes, but his heart was full of pressure and worries, although Difficulty was unbearable, but for a while he tossed and turned, unable to sleep soundly.

In the middle of the haze, there was a sudden noise in the ears. At first, it was a little distant and blurry, but then it got closer and clearer.

Liu Yanjing got up quickly, rubbed his eyes, and was very angry when he got up: "What happened outside that caused the noise? Send someone to check, arrest them one by one, and punish them severely!"

The army is most afraid of this kind of situation. Everyone's spirits are tense in front of the enemy. A little carelessness will trigger a "screaming battalion", with extremely serious consequences.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a school lieutenant opened the door curtain and rushed in, with a panicked face and a trembling voice: "General... the big thing is not good, the enemy is coming!"

"..."

All the drowsiness and stupor disappeared in an instant, Liu Yanjing shivered, got up suddenly, and strode out: "Notify the whole army to be on alert immediately, all soldiers are out of the camp to prepare to meet the enemy, and the crossbowmen have arrived nearby On the edge of the camp, if there is an enemy attack at night, use bows and crossbows to suppress it! Beat the drums and gather the generals, and all the generals and schools will come to assemble!"

The captain grabbed Liu Yanjing and said anxiously: "General, it's too late, the enemy has already entered the camp!"

There was a "boom" in Liu Yanjing's mind, and his whole body froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, he turned his head little by little, and looked at the captain in disbelief: "You...what did you say?"

The school captain was so anxious that he was about to cry, and said loudly: "Yuchi Gong made a sneak attack at dawn, tens of thousands of troops came in under cover of night, they have already surrounded Fengqiyuan on three sides, they are entering the camp, it is unstoppable!"

Liu Yanjing rubbed his temples, puzzled and said: "What about the security we set up on the periphery? What about the scouts? There are special troops guarding every dangerous area. Once the enemy approaches, they will be discovered. Why are they killed in the camp?"

"The guards on the outside never issued the slightest warning, but the troops guarding the camp directly opened the camp gate to welcome the enemy into the camp, turned around and fought back with the enemy, and rushed towards this place!"

"..."

There was a huge shock in Liu Yanjing's head, he was in a daze, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground...

Fortunately, the school lieutenant supported him quickly with sharp eyes and hands, and said anxiously: "General, the enemy's army is unstoppable. According to this, it is less than one mile away. My guards, you rush out of the siege and return to Chang'an, otherwise you will be trapped here, and it will be difficult to fly!"

Liu Yanjing finally calmed down, grabbed the horizontal knife placed on the side, and strode out of the camp. The place where he saw was surrounded by flames. The enemy army not only entered the camp but also set fire to the tent with kerosene. Even the light rain could not extinguish it. The camp has fallen into chaos, with people shouting, horses neighing, screaming and chaos.

Many captains surrounded him, but Liu Yanjing's heart sank to the bottom...

Only now did he realize that the composition of the more than ten thousand troops under his command was chaotic and their backgrounds were complicated, and they were almost mixed with various forces. Not to mention a temporary camp, even if it was a fortress, it would not be able to hold on to it.

No matter how strong the city fortress is, how can it resist the disintegration from the inside?
Seeing that the entire camp had fallen into chaos and disorder, and it was impossible to organize an army to block and counterattack, Liu Yanjing had no extravagant hopes in his heart, and made a decisive decision: "If you pass on the order, we are the last barrier in Chang'an. Once the position is lost, Chang'an will be in danger. May the entire army follow me to the enemy, and die on the battlefield to repay the emperor's favor!"

"Here!"

A school lieutenant flew away, conveying the military order to fight to the death to the whole army.

Afterwards, Liu Yanjing flew on his horse and said to the left and right soldiers and captains: "This battle is irreversible, let alone stay here for a long time, let's go back to Chang'an!"
