Chapter 81 Return to Victory
And He Renlong's mood with Li Zicheng is not much different at this time. Although the dusk battle was remarkable, it saved the decline of his officers and soldiers, restored the military prestige, and restored his confidence, but for He Renlong, this small victory did not make him happy.
In the morning of the First World War, his officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses in the face of the strange civil army. Not to mention losing his prestige, he lost many soldiers and generals, forcing him to cross the river separately. However, the defeat that followed made him afraid of being hit by Li Zicheng or Gao Yingxiang's treachery, so he gave up. He forcibly crossed the Wanzi River from the Dashi Bridge and turned to the upper reaches to cross the river. What was the result?
The result was very bad. He bumped into Li Zicheng's thieves all the way, but made the Xing Tianjun who beat him away. Judging from the news, Xing Tianjun ran to find the trouble of He Fang's army, and his main force was restrained by Li Zicheng and could not move here at all, and he could not pull out the soldiers at all. Strive to rescue He Fang's department.
And the strong combat power of the Xingtian Army in the battle against Huang Qiang in the morning still makes him lingering, and He Fang's troops are limited, and the strength of the Xingtian Army exceeds He Fang. What he is worried about is whether He Fang can withstand the attack of the strange Xing Tianjun and lead his troops back to Longzhou City.
He Fang is the eldest son of his brother's family, which is highly valued by him. Once He Fang makes a mistake, I'm afraid that he, as an uncle, will not be able to explain in front of the people!
Now that Li Zicheng has led his troops to come here, it is impossible for him to get out again. Although at dusk today, he can see that there is not much difference between Li Zicheng's generals and two years ago, with his current strength, it is not easy to defeat Li Zicheng in World War I. Now Li Zicheng's reputation is already The area around Shaanxi is very large. As soon as there are as locusts, the rafts will immediately flock to come. Li Zicheng added that the soldiers and horses are very fast. As long as he can't be killed with a stick, a thief army like Li Zicheng will immediately change places conveniently and prosper.
In the battle of the carriage gorge, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, had obviously consumed most of the strength of the thief's army, but how long did it take for them to jump out of the carriage gorge? So many rebels gathered again, which really made He Renlong feel a headache for the court.
At present, this is not the most important thing. After he entered the night, he just got the Pegasus Express, saying that there had been a thieves coming this way from Baoji County, and there were also many cavalrymen, who should be the elite under Gao Yingxiang's command, that is to say, Gao Yingxiang had learned that he had returned to Longzhou halfway. The news of the city, he gave up Baoji County and rushed this way. At the current speed of Gao Yingxiang's striker, he may arrive here as soon as tomorrow night. If he is still dragged here by Li Zicheng, then once Gao Yingxiang leads his troops to kill here again, he may immediately fall into a heavy package. It's surrounded.
He Renlong toss and turns and can't think of a way to save his nephew He Fang. Finally, he had to sigh and secretly pray to God, so that He Fang had better get out of the pursuit of the Xingtian army and return to Longzhou City.
After dawn, the two armies got up early and buried the pot to make food. After He Renlong ordered the soldiers and horses to leave the camp, he sent people to go to Li Zicheng's camp to scold the battle. However, Li Zicheng came to the door and simply ignored his fight. He Renlong was unable to launch at this time. After a strong attack, after thinking for a while, he arranged a subordinate, pulled out the camp, and began to retreat in the direction of Longzhou City.
At this time, Li Zicheng led his troops out of the camp and fell behind He Renlong. He would send a small number of cavalry to launch sporadic attacks on the soldiers and horses behind his palace, as if to delay his return to the city.
But He Renlong arranged it very well. He always maintained his formation, marched slowly, and sent cavalry from time to time to attack Li Zicheng's Rebels who fell behind him. The two armies tested each other and slowly walked towards Longzhou City. No one could do anything about it. No one could bite off another piece from the other side. Meat.
In this way, he walked and stopped. For a whole day, He Renlong led his troops and horses to the east gate of Longzhou City. After seeing He Renlong's troops return to Longzhou City, the defenders and the officials and people in the city were immediately very happy. Yang Yulin, the general, personally led the defenders of the city, opened the east gate, and welcomed He Renlong into the city. Li Zicheng led his troops to turn around the big camp set up five miles outside the city.
To Li Zicheng's surprise, as soon as he returned to the outside of Longzhou, he received the news sent by Liu Zongmin, saying that Xing Tianjun had actually returned to their camp before them, and accompanied him with him a lot of trophies and some prisoners of war.
Li Zicheng pretended to be happy and ordered Li Guo to lead his troops to enter the camp to rest. He brought several guards and turned around and came to the camp of Xing Tianjun.
"Congratulations to Brother Xiao! This battle can be said to be a complete victory! Brother Yu is not as good as you. After all, he still failed to stop the crazy man from returning to Longzhou!" As soon as Li Zicheng arrived at the gate of Xing Tianjun, he saw Xiao Tianjian coming out with the general, so he immediately got off the horse and congratulated Xiao Tianjian with a smile on his face.
Xiao Tianjian looked at Li Zicheng's smiling face and sneered in his heart, but his face was full of a warm smile. He immediately hugged his fist and said to Li Zicheng, "How dare you! How can a fool be as powerful as Brother Li said! Unfortunately, our troops are really limited, which is not enough to stop most of He Renlong's soldiers and horses. It's just a small victory! And it can only be said to be a tragic victory! However, it can't be said that there is no harvest at all. Although our soldiers will pay a lot of price, at least they have killed some officers and soldiers this time, which is not a shame! It made Brother Li laugh!"
Because Xing Tianjun fought beautifully this time, Xing Tianjun all raised their eyebrows and exhaled. As a guest army, they defeated He Renlong several times this time, which made the officers and soldiers fall into a row. Xiao Tianjian and these subordinates stood at the door with their chests folded and stomachs, watching the arrival of Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng glanced at the generals behind Xiao Tianjian and saw that several of them were injured. It seemed that Xiao Tianjian was true. They did go through a fierce battle, and even these generals were dead. So it can be seen that Xing Tianjun suffered a lot of casualties in this battle. Even if he won, it should be. It's a tragic victory. In this way, Li Zicheng's heart is a little better.
However, Xiao Tianjian played a trick and did not spread the news that they captured He Renlong's nephew alive. Instead, he warned the military generals to strictly guard this secret. Although Xiao Tianjian has not figured out what to do with this He Fang now, he caught such a big fish after all. For him, it should be a strange thing to live in. Maybe it will have any unexpected effect!
So Li Zicheng naturally had no way to know the details of their battle this time. After a long greeting, Li Zicheng immediately invited Xiao Tianjian and his subordinates to his camp for a banquet. He would personally hold a banquet to celebrate the victory of Xing Tianjun.
Xiao Tianjian naturally appreciates Li Zicheng's request and immediately responded to it.
After Li Zicheng returned to the camp, Gu Junen came to see Li Zicheng with an embarrassed face. Gu Junen also knew that he had a bad idea for Li Zicheng this time. Not only did he not let Li Zicheng get a little cheaper, but also made Li Guo lead the team rush over and bumped into the main force of He Renlong. After the battle, he was also damaged. Young elite soldiers can be said to be stealing chickens!
"General, at this time, I blame the inferiority for not to expect that things would develop so much. It's really the fault of inferiority. Please punish me!" After Gu Jun'en entered the account, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty to Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng laughed and said, "Mr. Gu, please get up quickly. The world is unpredictable!" At this time, we can't blame you, but we all underestimate the ability of Xiao Tianjian and his Xing Tianjun! How can you blame the gentleman alone? Don't mention this matter again. Now I still have to consider how to take down this Longzhou City!"
Gu Jun'en stood up with a ashamed face, thanked him repeatedly, withdrew from Li Zicheng's big account, turned his head and looked at Xing Tian's barracks, and shook his head slightly. This time, he really didn't expect things to develop so much. Although he was thinking of Li Zicheng from beginning to end, he never expected a small Xing Tian. Jun, under a fledgling man, how can he fight so much? It's really unpredictable! And Xiao Tianjian finally taught him a profound lesson. Although this matter was unintentional, Xiao Tianjian made him lose face in front of Li Zicheng and couldn't help but make Gu Junen secretly hate Xiao Tianjian.
Although Li Zicheng did not complain about him, Gu Junen also heard Li Zicheng's blunt words. For this matter, Gu Junen still could not escape responsibility, which was a big deal for him to work under Li Zicheng in the future.
