Chapter 276 Li Chengqian's Royal Soldier Technique

Seeing the Xue Yantuo army defeated, Su Dingfang breathed a sigh of relief, rode on his horse and smiled at the sky, "What a magnificent Tang Dynasty man!"

"What a magnificent Tang Dynasty man!"

"What a magnificent Tang Dynasty man!"

...

Tang Jun's excited voice was repeated on the battlefield.

Su Dingfang took a few deep breaths and watched the Xue Yantuo cavalry who were gradually fleeing the battlefield, his face darkened, he waved his spear and pointed at the direction where Xue Yantuo escaped, and asked the Tang army who had stopped fighting with pride: "The Tang Erlang still has the strength to rush with me for a while."

After hearing this, Tang Jun, who was covered in blood, immediately replied: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Su Dingfang heard the shouting of the sky-sky man first shouted "Okay!" and then ordered: "Leave fifty people to clean the battlefield, collect the wounded soldiers and corpses, and return to the camp by themselves."

"Hahaha...go!"

Su Dingfang twitched the war horse lightly while laughing. The war horse seemed to know the owner's intentions, "necking" and rushed out with a long "necking" sound, and led Su Dingfang to rush towards Xue Yantuo's army again.

Seeing this, the Tang army behind them, they screamed like tigers roaring at Xueyantuo Cavalry again.

Some of them were injured in the battle just now, some were exhausted from fighting against the enemy, and some were filled with grief and anger when they looked at their companions around them.

But when they heard Su Dingfang's call to fight, they rushed out without any hesitation.

Su Dingfang led the Tang army with less than 1,000 people all the way to follow the fleeing Xueyantuo cavalry to the camp of Xueyantuo Central Army.

The war horses of the Tang Dynasty were not inferior to those of Xue Yantuo, and their horse harnesses were much stronger than Xue Yantuo, so they easily killed most of Xue Yantuo's escaped soldiers, which was more than they were killed when they were rushing to kill just now.

Before the Xueyantuo camp, less than 1,500 people were brought into the camp. This battle ended with a defeat of Xueyantuo.

Su Dingfang and his men stopped two or three miles away from Xueyantuo's army and confronted the infantry formation that was connecting with the camp.

Su Dingfang saw that Xue Yantuo infantry had arranged an array and took out his own bows and arrows and waited for the prey to come to the door. Su Dingfang knew that facing tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo infantry, not to mention the hundreds of cavalry behind him, even if he pulled all the eight thousand cavalry around Li Chengqian, he would not be guaranteed to break through the Xue Yantuo army formation. Moreover, even if he rushed out of the Xue Yantuo infantry array without any sacrifice, he would still be chased by the remaining cavalry of Xue Yantuo.

Therefore, Su Dingfang could only take seven or eight hundred Tang troops, covered in blood, and walk around in front of tens of thousands of enemy troops, and then leave.

On the way back, they met Li Simo who came to pick him up. It turned out that the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield had already returned to the camp with their horses and wounded.

Su Dingfang took the people back to where they left, and saw a strong camp erected on the left hillside.

Su Dingfang walked all the way to the camp and paid attention to it. He found that the camp established by veteran Qiu Xinggong himself was indeed solid, stable, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Su Dingfang rested his mind and led his team around the corner of the mountain to the main gate of the camp. Li Chengqian had been waiting here for a long time by the generals in the village.

Seeing this, Su Dingfang quickly got off his horse and ran to Li Chengqian to kneel down on one knee and said, "I will meet the prince."

Seeing this, the soldiers behind Su Dingfang jumped off their horses, and all knelt on one knee to meet Li Chengqian with a "slam".

Li Chengqian hurried forward and walked a few steps to help Su Dingfang up with both hands. He looked at Su Dingfang with blood on his face and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work!" As he said that, he used his sleeve to wipe the blood on Su Dingfang's armor.

Seeing this, Su Dingfang hurriedly took a step back and bowed again, "I dare not work for Your Highness."

Seeing this, Li Chengqian had to give up and turn his head and look at the seven or eight hundred soldiers of the East Palace Liuzhi in front and behind him, all of whom were bloody. These people were the first soldiers Li Chengqian trained the most loyal to him. Li Chengqian always treated them as his direct line. At this time, he felt very relieved to see him return from bloody battles.

Li Chengqian suppressed Xin's excitement and shouted loudly: "The soldiers are calm."

A loud noise, a sound of armor leaves, the soldiers stood up and held the war horse beside them and looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian walked forward a few steps and looked at the soldiers covered in blood, despair, but with a firm expression, and couldn't help but be infected by them, taking a deep breath and shouting in full air: "Thank you, soldiers!"

"Defend the country and pacify the world!" The general standing in front of Li Chengqian shouted in unison.

Li Chengqian was so excited that his tears almost fell as he heard the soldiers' shouts. He quickly looked up at the sky. After a while, he held back his tears and said with great relief: "Okay, the Lone King ordered people to prepare wine and meat for you. Let's go into the camp and have a good meal."

As he said that, he waved his hand, turned around and grabbed Su Dingfang's hand and walked into the camp.

The wine in the camp was very simple, with a lot of jerky meat, but each person only had one glass of wine. However, because Li Chengqian kept encouraging the soldiers at the banquet, talking about the past and the present, and finally sang a military song, which brought the current atmosphere to the best. The banquet not only did not complain but increased his loyalty to Li Chengqian.

In the next few days, Li Simo, Qiu Xinggong, and Su Dingfang led the cavalry to take turns out of the camp to fight against the enemy's field, Cheng Wuting led his men to guard the camp.

Li Chengqian put down all his affairs and did something that would win people's hearts and encourage morale.

This made the soldiers' loyalty to him reach an unprecedented level, which made Su Dingfang and others very impressed, and deeply felt that people born in heaven must give him talents.

According to historical experience, a monarch like Li Chengqian who cannot go to the battlefield generally relies on a very loyal general to lead the troops, otherwise he would have to play the art of balance and let the ministers restrain each other before the imperial power could be permanently consolidated.

However, Li Chengqian was able to directly gain the hearts of ordinary soldiers, so that they could only fight for Li Chengqian with soldiers loyal to Li Chengqian. If they had a little intention, they could take it down with just one sentence and an edict.

When several generals realized this, every time they saw Li Chengqian, who was dressed in simple clothes, limped in the camp, telling the soldiers about ancient times, leading the soldiers to sing or comforting the wounded, they would be in awe of him in their hearts.

A few days passed, Li Chengqian was surrounded on the hillside and the battle was in a tragic situation, and the flying pigeon letter he released also caused a sensation in various places.

In the camp where Wang Fangyi was located, Wang Fangyi took a letter from Lingzhou City with a flying pigeon. He was so scared that his face was pale and he hurriedly ordered someone to invite Yuchi Gong, Qi Bi He Li and Liu Rengui and others.

In order not to give Yuchi Gong the opportunity to seize power, Wang Fangyi no longer set up a central military tent every time he set up a camp, and everything was handled in his military tent.

At a moment, Liu Rengui and Qi Bi Heli came to Yuchi Gong, who was closest to him, but did not come. Wang Fangyi knew that Yuchi Gong was intentional, because he did not say anything when he sent someone to invite someone, so Yuchi Gong didn't take it seriously.

Now, the Feige sent by the Lingzhou Governor's Office to Qi Bi He Li and Liu Rengui to see. The two were shocked when they saw it. Qi Bi He Li was appointed as the deputy general manager of the Lingzhou Road Army by Li Shimin. Although Li Chengqian did not delegate power to him, he felt that he had to let Yuchi Gong know as soon as possible, after all, he was the general manager of the army of Yuchi Gong.

He immediately said to Wang Fangyi and got up and went to invite Yuchi Gong in person.

Liu Rengui was also promoted by Li Chengqian. When he heard that Li Chengqian was surrounded, the first thing he thought about was how to rescue Li Chengqian.

But before he could come up with a complete plan, he saw Yuchi Gong running into the tent in a hurry. When he saw Wang Fangyi, he said bluntly: "Get the letter."

Wang Fangyi naturally did not dare to argue with him at this time, so he hurriedly handed the letter to Yuchi Gong.

Yuchi Gong glared at Wang Fangyi and took the letter with a stern look. When he opened it, he saw that it was Li Chengqian's letter of help.
