Chapter 292: Rise (2)

The young man was named Lin Fang, who was the best among the last disciples of Linjiazhuang. According to his seniority, Li Ming should be called his uncle. He has now officially sworn to join Li Ming's subordinates. His martial arts are so high that even Li Ming was not an opponent when he did not lose his martial arts. Therefore, among the people at present, besides the old chef, he is probably his.

Therefore, Li Ming was very relieved about his actions. He had seen Yang Song's martial arts, but he could not even catch up with him. Lin Fang could easily deal with him.

Seeing Lin Fangfang's horse with only leather armor coming, Yang Song was immediately excited. He shouted and stepped forward, rushed forward to Lin Fang. When the two were more than ten meters apart, Yang Song rose from the horse, raised the spear in his hand like a big roc spreading its wings and rushed towards Lin Fang.

Yang Song's move first made hundreds of thousands of people in front of the two armies scream at the same time. When the two armies were fighting, there were too few opportunities for martial arts masters to appear, so they were the first time they saw such a strange scene. They could jump up more than ten meters from the horse's back. In the eyes of those soldiers, Lin Fang, who had this ability, could not escape this disaster. For a moment, the cheers in Li Qing's army and the exclamations in Li Ming's army were heard.

Facing the spear falling from the sky, Lin Fang showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He calmly dodged the head of the spear, clamped the gun like lightning, and at the same time pulled out the sword on his back, silently pointing towards Yang Song's throat.

Lin Fang's sword was quite light and agile. If the Lin family's sword technique was well practiced, it was indeed extremely powerful. Yang Song didn't have time to avoid it. When Lin Fang's sword tip hit his throat, he had just let go of the spear in his hand and reached out to put the sword around his waist. However, before his sword was unsheathed, Leng Sen's sword tip had already penetrated his throat.

With the rapid rushing forward, Lin Fang and Yang Song passed by in the blink of an eye. Among the people present, even Li Ming did not see the situation of the two. When Lin Fang clamped the spear, everyone thought Lin Fang was pierced by the spear, so there was a burst of exclamation on the battlefield. But in a blink of an eye, Yang Song fell straight to the ground in the air. Suddenly, the shouts of the sky stopped abruptly. For a moment, a needle could be heard on the battlefield. Everyone stopped their voices and breathed and looked at the sudden change in front of them. Only Lin Fang's horse hooves were still hitting everyone's heart.

Yang Song slammed heavily on the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust and smoke. In a blink of an eye, the ground around him was covered with bright red blood.

Suddenly, the cheers of the formation sounded from the camp of Li Ming's army. The sound broke out so suddenly that they were shocked with earth-shaking shouts on their backs.

Lin Jian turned around amid the cheers of everyone, came to Yang Song's body and lifted him up, held him high and signaled to his position. Suddenly, the cheers rang out again.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Ming turned around and issued an order to B: "The special team started to act."

As early as when Li Qing's troops abandoned the camp to fight, Li Ming contacted the special forces squad lurking in Li Qing's camp through radio, ordered them to disperse and find Li Qing's grain and grass warehouse to prepare for the operation. This special forces squad is all composed of Li Ming's personal guards and Linjiazhuang personnel. His personal abilities are far greater than that of Li Qing's soldiers. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Li Qing's large army was dispatched, they dealt with the soldiers guarding the food and grass as if they were in a no-man's land, and stood by in front of the piles of food and grass in one camp after another.

When Lin Fang successfully killed Yang Song and his soldiers were in full swing, Li Ming issued an order to the special forces team in time.

Two or three minutes later, in the military camp behind the panicked Li Qing army, thick smoke suddenly ignited one after another, and then everyone soared into the sky. In a short while, the fires between the camps were actually connected into one.

As a result, Li Qing's soldiers, who were already panicked because of Yang Song's death, became even more panicked. They looked at the fire behind them and looked at each other in a hurry. They didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Li Ming waved his hand down and forcefully at the right time.

The messenger who had been waiting for his orders had used all his strength to beat the war drum more than one person high.

Suddenly, the earth-shaking drum sounded through the sky. As the drum sounded rapidly extending to both sides of the central army camp, Li Ming's more than 200,000 troops made shocking shouts and shouts. Starting from the central army, the heavy armored cavalry jumped out first and rushed towards the position of Li Qing's troops. Immediately afterwards, the 50,000 iron armored troops of the former Imperial Guard also rushed over.

The 10,000 Rangers of the Desert Legion were divided into two teams and surrounded the two sides. Their mission was to intercept the fleeing enemy. I believe that after such an impact just now, Li Qing's troops would soon disintegrate. The camp behind them had already caught fire and was about to be connected. Without knowing how many enemies there were in the camp, their only choice was to break through to both sides. At this time, the rangers who had been surrounded were just enough to hit them with a heavy blow.

Li Ming's 70,000 heavily armored cavalry were scattered on their more than 20 kilometers long front line. At the beginning of the attack, Li Qing's troops were immediately covered. Li Qing's 150,000 men were equipped purely to restrain Li Song, so most of them were infantry. In front of the heavily armored cavalry, it seemed that they could only escape.

The war was not as cruel as imagined. Li Qing's 150,000 soldiers were scattered by heavy armored cavalry. Except for those who fell under horse hooves and stabbed by guns, the rest of the remains fled into the camp to seek refuge. However, they were afraid that the enemy would not be killed out of the camp, so they all ran quickly along the outside camp around the fire camp and ran to both sides.

The heavy-armored cavalry caused great casualties to the enemy by a large-scale impact. Wherever the iron hooves passed, the ground was covered with seriously injured or dead soldiers. Many of them became completely exhausted, and even those whose heads were trampled by horse hooves were large.

After the heavy armored cavalry, the Iron Armored Army rushed over. Originally, the number of heavy armored cavalry did not require the Iron Armored Army in this war. However, in order to make them familiar with the combat methods of the heavy armored cavalry and to allow them to merge into the heavy armored cavalry as soon as possible, they asked them to follow behind to clean the battlefield. However, when they saw the dense corpses lying on the ground, they realized that cleaning the battlefield was no longer necessary. The scene in front of them was only the same as that year.

I saw Li Ming sniping Li Qing's troops outside the imperial city. At that time, only ten thousand iron armored troops caused heavy casualties to the enemy. Among the current iron armored troops, most of the ten thousand iron armored troops had become soldiers, big or small. Seeing the situation in front of them, they could not help but remind them of the past and the pleasure of fighting before Li Ming took over. Unconsciously, they had already begun to be devoted to Li Ming.

It took only more than twenty minutes from the attack of the heavy armored cavalry to the end of the war. On the battlefield where the heavy armored cavalry swept across, the survivors were very small. The enemy who escaped by luck did not escape much in these twenty minutes. The deserters on both sides of the position were blocked by the rangers.

In front of these infantry, the rangers' lethality was no less than that of the heavily armored cavalry. In a blink of an eye, the enemy troops who fled and broke through were left with a large body on the ground. The soldiers in front were suddenly shocked and turned around and were about to run back. However, the soldiers behind did not see the situation ahead and were still crowded like in front, causing the soldiers in front and behind to squeeze into a group in the empty fields, making it difficult to advance and retreat, and countless soldiers were trampled to death for a while.

Just as the soldiers were crowding with each other, the heavy cavalry and the iron-armored army chasing behind had already surrounded them like wind and clouds. In a short while, two encirclements formed on the open space on both sides of Li Qing's camp, sieging the participating enemy troops in it.

Seeing that the cavalry besieged them had no intention of attack, the besieged soldiers began to calm down a little, and their heads were flexible and they had already begun to put down their weapons and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

When things got to this point, no matter how conscientious and far-scheming the generals under Li Qing were, they could no longer stop the collapse in front of them. The defeat was as if they were defeated. In this case, they had no choice but to put down their weapons.

Together with the time when the surrendered soldiers were recruited, the war took a total of five hours. The final statistics show that Li Qing's 150,000 soldiers were annihilated 80,000, and the remaining 70,000 soldiers all surrendered, and no one escaped the net.

That night, in the brightly lit central tent, Li Ming sat upright in the center and ordered all the captured senior enemy generals to be brought over.

This time, the highest commander of Li Qing's army was Yang Song. He originally wanted to use his personal force to undermine the morale of Li Ming's army and thus increase his chances of victory for their soldiers, but he did not expect to meet Lin Fang. Now, the highest official in Li Qing's army who has lost the leader is Yang Song's deputy Li Huan.

Li Huan, Li Qing's second son, is already eighteen years old this year. This time he took the initiative to ask to stay here with Yang Song, but unexpectedly he became Li Ming's prisoner. When he learned about his identity, Li Ming himself was surprised.

He ordered his subordinates to prepare a seat for Li Huan, remove his shackles and let him sit down, and then said, "When I was in Nanguo City, I was very busy, so I didn't have the chance to see your brothers. I didn't expect that you have all grown up so old. Speaking of which, your father and I were sworn brothers."

Li Huan smiled coldly and said, "I didn't expect you to remember these things. However, although my father treats you as close as a brother, why do you rebel against him? Do you think it's better to be an emperor that no one recognizes?"

Li Ming sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Li Huan, I'm not surprised that you think so. After all, you are Li Qing's son. I don't want to explain anything to you today. I just hope you can cooperate with me and tell me some news I want to know. In exchange, I can let you go back. You have already thought about it. You are eighteen years old this year. A wonderful life has just begun. Don't let a moment of impulse destroy your life. How about answering my questions?"

Li Huan laughed loudly, stood up suddenly from the stool, ignored the guards blocking in front of him, pointed at Li Ming and shouted loudly, "Stop talking! Don't talk sweetly in front of me, think I'm a three-year-old child? With these few words, I can make me betray my father? Dream! Li Ming, make a decision as soon as possible if you want to kill me, and I will never tell you any information."

Li Ming's face suddenly appeared with a layer of effort, but then it slowly disappeared. He looked at Li Huan, who was still a childish face in front of him, and sighed again: "Li Huan, I will not kill you. After all, this is a grudge between me and Li Qing, and it has nothing to do with you. However, if you don't cooperate with me today, I will not let you go back. You should think carefully. You don't have much chance. After I unified the Tang Dynasty, your role will be gone. At that time, in order to prevent you from taking revenge, I can only imprison you for the rest of my life. People come, take him down and let him reflect on it."

The two personal guards agreed loudly and took Li Huan down. The remaining few Li Qing officers in the tent looked at each other, wondering what Li Ming would do to them.

"Tell me, where is Li Qing currently, does he still have hidden remnants, what is his next plan? Whoever tells me, I will release whom, don't think about getting confused from me, I will not be ruthless to you, you are not Li Huan. Say it, give you a chance."

The remaining people who said Li Ming changed their faces. Looking at Li Ming's cold face, then looking at the murderous guards around him, one of them couldn't help but say, "I said, I... Emperor, I said."

As soon as this man spoke, the others immediately became soft. At the critical moment of life and death, these people no longer cared about repaying Li Qing's kindness for his kindness, and spoke out what they knew.

Li Ming's guess was right. Li Qing was indeed a cunning rabbit. In order to prevent him from having nowhere to escape after his defeat, he had already opened up various joint channels to the Su Kingdom a year ago. Under his various offensives, some officers and soldiers of the Southern Dian Prefecture had become his confidants. Over the past year, he has sent special envoys to travel back and forth between the Su Kingdom frequently, and he didn't know what he was conspiring.

As for this time, Li Qing had already figured out a way out for him and left the 150,000 army here to restrain him. He personally led 80,000 iron-armored troops to attack Biquan Island, but unexpectedly he was defeated in Yuzhou. He did not return to this camp after escaping from Yuzhou. He just brought Li Huan a letter through a messenger, asking him to assist Yang Song in charge of everything here, and he himself disappeared.
