Chapter 315 Bai Fan gets out of trouble, the rebels are strangers
Ding Yanping was killed, and Li Ji's 30,000 army and 5,000 infantrymen from Cheng Huaimo's side surrounded the rebels. In less than a quarter of an hour, the other side surrendered one after another. When Li Jing led the army to Huarong, the battle had already ended here.
The two armies worked together, with a total of 60,000 troops, Li Jing was in the middle, Li Ji was on the left, and Cheng Huaimo was on the right.
After this battle, the army of Zhongnan Academy has been recognized by the Tang Army. Many people are happier than their own military achievements when they see their sons achieve military achievements. For example, Qin Shubao saw his son Qin Huaidao kill Ding Yanping with one move alone, which is enough for him to show off with the generals present for half a year.
"Now Jingzhou, Huarong and Yueyang are in full swing, and we have also captured the opponent's 100,000 troops. Therefore, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Using this as a gap, we should quickly expand the results of the war to the east and south sides. Before the enemy could react, we should regain the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Yuezhou, Lizhou, Langzhou, Tanzhou, and the four states fell into the enemy's hands for many years but no one reported it. This is a dereliction of duty by the local government. After this matter, I will report it to the court. Now I will regain the lost territory first." Li Jing said loudly.
"Master General, since that's the case, do we need to rescue Bai Fan first? After all, he has been in the enemy for many days, and he doesn't know whether it's life or death. If we can capture the enemy's leader at the same time, we can dismantle the rebels in one fell swoop." Zhang Shigui suggested.
Li Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. When we captured the enemy general Xu Qingtian in Yueyang that day, we had already interrogated the enemy's nest. Huaimo had already sent the trap camp and the two strongest infantrymen of the Qi family army to rescue Bai Fan.
The other party's nest is an isolated island in the middle of the lake called Xiawang Island, with only two thousand island-protecting cavalry, so this matter must be worry-free. Let's regain our territory now, but it's just aftermath.
Although the other party occupied the four states, he lost 100,000 troops this time. How many rebels can the four states afford? Therefore, there will definitely be few remaining troops in various places, and our recovery mission will be very easy."
After hearing this, everyone felt incredible. Such a massive rebellion was quelled so easily? How did it do it?
Where was Bai Fan at this time? He was still leading the eight hundred Wuyingwei in the mountains with Dou Qiongying, avoiding the pursuit of Xia Wang Island. As Dou Qiongying said, the enemy is powerful and can only walk into the mountains west of Huarong, and pass through it to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
"Report, the master, and his subordinates found out that there was a battle in Huarong the day before yesterday. The Tang army surrounded our 50,000 troops. The veteran Ding Yanping was killed on the spot, and the Tang Dynasty won the victory.
At this time, Huarong was already in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. There was also news that Yueyang's attack had also failed. A soldier emerged from somewhere. He cooperated with Li Jing in the city and defeated our 50,000 troops outside the city, and even Xu Qingtian was captured."
Dou Qiongying was already shocked by the news. She looked back at Bai Fan incredibly. When she saw Bai Fan smiling, she asked in surprise: "What? Do you know if this result is not achieved? Did you do it? This is impossible. You are with me all day long and you can't contact outside."
Bai Fan smiled and said, "Of course it's not me. I've told you a long time ago that the Tang Dynasty is not that simple. Although your plan is powerful, not no one can see through it. Isn't it a clear proof now?
Of course, I am also curious about how they broke the situation. If you want to know what happened, can we just ask? We can finally go out for some breathing. It’s really uncomfortable to stay in the mountains all day.”
Bai Fan whistled to the sky. Not long after, a black dot appeared in everyone's sight. Gradually, the black dot fell. When it reached everyone's heads, everyone realized that it was a huge eagle.
Bai Fan said in beastly words to Xiao Feifei who had been following him in the sky: "Take me to find Ping'er!"
Xiao Feifei understood and started to fly slowly towards the east after tweeting twice.
"Let's go, keep up with Xiao Feifei!"
But Dou Qiongying didn't move and asked in confusion: "So you still have an eagle? Did you always rely on this message?"
"You underestimate me, Bai Fan. At first, I pretended to be taken down by you. I was indeed using this idea. I wanted to send a letter to the eagle to inform the court of your nest when you were unprepared and catch you all in one place.
But later, I accidentally made a bet with you, so I will hold down my trump card for the time being to see what you can do. But I didn’t expect that things in the world are changing. At that time, we were opponents, but now we are also supporting each other in the same boat.
Haha, let's go, if you don't follow me, Xiao Feifei will run away.
Don’t you want to see who is defeated?”
Dou Qiongying raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly: "I want to see, in this Tang Dynasty, who else would I defeat in addition to you, Bai Fan?"
On Xiawang Island, Luo Tong and the Li brothers led their own team and, with the help of the Shuilin Gang, arrived at this isolated island hidden in Dongting Lake.
"Brother Luo, you have led the brothers to help the ship here to guard the ship. We brothers go up to save the master. We will go back later. This ship cannot be lost." Luo Tong reminded Luo Shuilin.
"Okay, three brothers are careful all the way!"
"Junior Brother Luo Tong, we are not familiar with the place here, and I don't know if Xu Qingtian deceived us. If there were more than two thousand guards and cavalry on this island, wouldn't we be trapped in an ambush? So I suggest that you and me will march openly and secretly, so as not to make the other party's plan worse." Li Yexu said.
The three of them agreed and walked south cautiously. Finally, two hours later, they saw a group of palaces in front of them. Li Yesi scolded: "Damn, how about this? This is simply comparable to the palace in Taiyuan!"
"Looking at the loose defense here, I guess they never thought anyone would attack you! It seems that what Xu Qingtian said is true. Brothers, it is important to rescue the master. If you delay it for a moment, you will be more dangerous. Let's go!" Luo Tong urged.
The three of them led the army of Qi, a total of 1,600 people, and rushed straight into the main gate of the Xia Palace. It seemed as if the other party had not resisted along the way, and all the guards of the palace gate were vulnerable.
In the past, the Xia Palace was guarded by Wu Ying Guard. Now that Wu Ying Guard has not yet been removed, Liu Xiong has demolished the halberd phalanx to guard the palace. However, the halberd phalanx was originally powered by a united formation. It was good to take it out to patrol alone, and then the combat power could be three times better.
When the palace guards issued a warning to recruit island-protecting cavalry, the three thousand halberd guards had already lost two thousand, completely destroyed, and had no combat power.
Li Yesi smiled at Luo Tong: "It's another two thousand bald horses. Junior Brother Luo, seeing that you are trapped in the camp and show your power, we will put your pressure on the formation!"
"The ambition to trap the formation is dead but not alive!" With a command, Luo Tong's eight hundred trap camp took neat steps and rushed towards the opponent's cavalry first.
The cavalry leader laughed and said, Are these infantry looking for death? Take the initiative to attack the cavalry?
But reality made him no longer laugh. Luo Tong took action first to curb the cavalry before it exerted its horsepower. The cavalry on Xiawang Island were all Dian horses, short, not good at rushing and rushing, good at endurance, and good at carrying heavy loads, so he didn't have much horsepower at first, but he couldn't hold on for a quarter of an hour in front of the camp and was completely killed.
Half an hour later, Luo Tong and the other two surrounded King Xia Liu Xiong and asked, "Where is our master Bai Fan? Go and release it quickly!"
