Chapter 6 Lost without losing
Li Jiancheng said nervously: "Zong Luohu is not a little fish and a shrimp. He is a powerful general under Xue Ju. Last June, 10,000 elite Sui soldiers under Huangfu Wan were on high alert. Xue Ju won the fewer ones and almost wiped out all of them. Zong Luohu personally charged in the rain of arrows, and was hit by dozens of arrows, but he was unable to retreat. He took the lead in breaking into Paohan City. Sanniang, you have to think clearly. Can five hundred soldiers be used?"
Li Xiuning looked at Li Jiancheng and sighed secretly: "If Erlang were there, he would never say this!"
Li Jiancheng was silent.
"If you lose, you won't lose. Even if you show your enemy's momentum and destroy your own majesty!" Li Xiuning said: "Brother, wait for my good news!"
Li Xiuning took the fish talisman given to her by Li Yuan (because he avoided the character "Tiger" by Li Hu, the Tang Dynasty changed the tiger talisman to the fish talisman. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he changed the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Ministry of Revenue to avoid the character "Ministry"), and ordered soldiers and generals, light and simple clothes, and only brought dry food for three days.
Half an hour later, Li Xiuning led his troops toward Jingyang.
Although the five hundred soldiers and horses under Li Xiuning's troops were well-equipped, they were definitely not considered elite troops. The two hundred guards of the Princess Pingyang Mansion and the Prince of Qin Mansion were all veterans who had seen blood. However, the Six Guards of the Eastern Palace were also good, and the guards of the Prince of Zhao Mansion were all army of honor guards. However, even such a mob, Li Xiuning still headed towards Jingyang without hesitation.
After the doctor was busy rescue, Chen Ying woke up after half an hour. Fortunately, Chen Ying was not seriously injured, but because of excessive blood loss, he exhausted his energy.
"How is the casualties?" Chen Ying's first sentence when he woke up was to ask Zhang Huaiwei, who was anxious and angry, in a hoarse voice.
Chen Ying could imagine that a group of farmers with almost no training would definitely suffer heavy casualties even if they had some weapons in their hands.
Zhang Huaiwei's eyes turned red in an instant, and he choked and said, "The sixth son is gone, and Lao Qiu is also disabled. Except for Lao Youzi, everyone else is injured."
Chen Ying vaguely remembered that his sixth son Guo Shuan was the former defender of Tongguan of the Sui Dynasty. After Qu Tutong surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he was reorganized into Liu Hongji's army. During the Qianshuiyuan Battle, Liu Hongji's entire army was defeated. Guo Shuan escaped. He was organized as Zhang Huaiwei's mate during the reorganization of Jingyang. He was also a simple and honest person and the only person in the mate who had never bullied him.
Chen Ying said intimately: "It's really a good person who doesn't live long, and it will last for thousands of years."
Chen Ying said: "How are the casualties of the people?"
Zhang Huaiwei subconsciously said: "I don't know very well. There should be four or five hundred people missing, and more than a thousand injured!"
In the first battle, a team of 50 defenders of the Tang army, and six of them are still disabled. Even if he used his own tricks, he caused nearly 1,500 casualties to the people. Although he annihilated more than 2,000 Western Qin army, this astonishing casualties also made all survivors clench their fists, and the joy brought by victory was diluted a lot.
Chen Ying vaguely heard the whole city crying...
Most of these people who died were from Jingyang. The dead were their relatives, neighbors and companions, and their friends whom they shared day and night...
Chen Ying's eyes trembled slightly and suppressed his emotions, and his voice was low: "It's not the time to be sad. This is just the vanguard of the Western Qin army. If we don't relax before the reinforcements arrive, we can form the people now, clean the battlefield immediately, peel off the armor on the bodies of the Western Qin army, and repair it if you can. If you really can't practice it, you can barely wear it on your body. In short, there is always better than nothing..."
Zhang Huaiwei was just a team leader and suddenly lost his mind.
Chen Ying looked at Zhang Huaiwei's helpless look and couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Ying said to Zhang Huaiwei: "Help me up!"
"Dalang, your injury!"
"I can't die!" Chen Ying said: "Is the magistrate of Jingyang County still alive? If he is still alive, let him come out to take charge of the overall situation. If he has escaped or died, please inform the gentry of Jingyang County and ask them to recommend someone who can lead the affairs."
Half an hour later, Zhang Huaiwei asked someone to find a door panel and carried Chen Ying slowly to the Jingyang County Government Office.
As soon as he arrived at the county government office, Chen Ying saw three or four arrows that had not been pulled down on the plaque of the county government office. The walls and ground were covered with mottled blood and traces of knife and axe chopping.
Needless to say, the Western Qin army had already taken over the county government when they rushed into Jingyang.
When Zhang Huaiwei walked to the county yamen hall, there were more than a dozen well-dressed gentry kneeling in the hall. Seeing Chen Ying coming, everyone stood up neatly and greeted him.
Chen Ying said straight to the point without any trouble: "We won't say much about polite words. You are all famous figures in Jingyang City. You must have seen a lot. Now let's discuss what to do in Jingyang County?"
An old man who is about fifty years old said, "Chen Dalang, what do you say do if you want to do?"
This is a large family in Jingyang County, with a surname named Qin Gu and a courtesy name Zijian. The Qin family of Jingyang is a branch of the Qin family of Tianshui. It was still a wealthy family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the nickname Wanshi Tianshui (provincial officials appeared in the fifth generation), but it gradually declined with the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Everyone stood up and agreed.
Now they killed Luohu, the King of Yixing of Xiqin, and more than 2,000 soldiers under their command. With Xue Renguo's character of protecting his son, he would definitely not let anyone in Jingyang City go. In fact, at this time, the gentry of Jingyang and the people of the whole city were tied to his chariot by Chen Ying, and they had to follow Chen Ying all the way to the darkness.
When Chen Ying first started, he was indeed full of righteous indignation and took action out of righteous indignation. However, as everything went in the direction he expected, he had to think about using the great contribution of guarding Jingyang to seek a reward for himself.
Although Chen Ying was not very familiar with the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, he was still very clear about the general trend of the world. The Tang Dynasty would definitely unify the world, and the Western Qin Dynasty was definitely the tail of a rabbit and could not grow.
Chen Ying said: "Since everyone is willing to think it is the leader, then please don't be stubborn and use any tricks, work together to protect our common home, our only way out!"
Qin Gu said: "Chen Dalang, please give me instructions, no one dares not to obey!"
