Xiazhou City is a standard military city, just like Chang'an, it was designed for fighting.
It is not a large city with horizontal and vertical lines, and all the buildings and streets are in order.
In the center of the city, there are two broad avenues that run straight from east to west, north to south, and cross each other! This kind of design can allow soldiers and generals to rush to the four city gates as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the enemy troops were attacking the city. The city is already under lockdown!
Except for soldiers, any idler who appears on the street will be regarded as a spy! Kill without mercy! So now a puff of smoke appeared on the broad street, which was so eye-catching that Xiao Han, who was standing high up, saw it at first sight.
"Only one horse? What's going on? There is no smoke rising, is there something wrong in the city?" Li Shimin stood next to Xiao Han, looking closely at the street, clenching his hands tightly.
Under the city wall, the bearded military governor in charge of martial law in the city held a strong bow and stepped into the middle of the road in a few steps. He pointed his arrow at the intruder and snorted coldly in his heart: "This is totally counter-intuitive! I won't punish you for a serious crime today! You don't know the importance of military law." !!!”
As soon as he rode away from the dust, yellow dust spread everywhere, and the distance of hundreds of meters disappeared in an instant!
Facing the strong bow, the knight not only did not stop, but also flicked his whip: "Report~ Our army has a great victory! Capture the enemy general alive!!!"
"Big victory? Captured alive?" The warlord blocking the road was dumbfounded and allowed the arrogant knight to pass by. "Aren't you all here and the fight hasn't started yet? Where did you catch the enemy general?"
"Big victory! Big victory! Capture the enemy general alive! Seize several horses!" The galloping knight continued to roar and gallop. Before they reached the city gate, the sound had already spread throughout the entire city wall!
"..."
silence! There was silence! The noisy city just now was like a radio that was unplugged, and only the noisy shouts and curses from outside the city were still coming tirelessly.
"What did he say? A great victory? Capture the enemy general alive?" Xiao Han seemed to be in disbelief. He plucked his ears and subconsciously turned to ask Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded stupidly, and the look of surprise on his face was even worse than Xiao Han! I know everything about the deployment of troops and generals in Xiazhou City! When did you send someone to capture the enemy general?
I couldn't even imagine where this enemy would come from! Seeing that the knight who had sent the message had dismounted in front of the city wall, Xiao Lizi immediately rushed down in three steps and two steps at a time.
Pulling up the knight who was about to salute, Li Shimin asked him in surprise: "What did you say? Say it once! Who captured whom?"
"King Qin! It was us who went up the mountain to move the salt mines who captured Yin Shijie!"
"Yin Shijie? Caught by the auxiliary soldiers?" Xiao Lizi felt that his mind was in chaos and he could no longer function normally!
"Yes, yes!" The knight's face glowed red and he nodded his head quickly: "Not only that! They also captured dozens of enemy cavalry!"
"A few infantrymen captured a general alive and dozens of cavalry? Wait, I'm a little dizzy..." Little Plum was completely confused now!
How can this be? The cavalry is almost the most powerful unit in the world!
Excluding siege battles, a group of cavalry dared to attack an enemy formation five times their own! And you can still win! How could such a strong soldier be captured? Even if you take 10,000 steps back and can't defeat him, won't you run away? How could a two-legged one catch up to a four-legged one?
"Where is he?!" Using his last ray of clarity, Little Plum asked this most important question with red eyes!
The cavalryman was a little trembling when he faced the red-eyed little plum. He quickly pointed to the west and said, "It's at the west city gate! When I came, the brothers were busy tying up those people!"
"Go find General Changsun! I'll go and see for myself!" After saying these words, Xiao Lizi got on the cavalry horse, flicked his whip, and rushed towards the west!
Xiao Lizi disappeared. Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and shouted to Xiaodong: "Let's go! Let's go too!"
The horse's hoofs studded with horseshoes splashed sparks on the stone road.
Little Plum on horseback felt like she was about to fly! The buildings on both sides moved quickly behind him, and only the sound of the fast wind accompanied him.
Running all the way, even the horse under his crotch became dripping with sweat. When I ran to the west gate, I could see Lao Lu and the others in front. It seemed that the horse could no longer bear such a high-intensity running. The front hoof suddenly bent and the whole body fell sideways.
The horse stumbled, but Li Shimin, who was sitting astride the horse, was not surprised at all!
He was used to the battlefield and had experienced this situation several times. With a strong push of his feet in the stirrups, his whole body flew into the air like a big bird, and he even pulled the horse's reins with his hand. , to avoid letting the horse’s head hit the stone directly!
"Boom..." The horse fell to the ground with a crash behind him, but Li Shimin had already flown forward several meters along with this force.
Take two steps forward to release this force. Li Shimin didn't even have the time to look back and whine. He rushed towards the dumbfounded Lao Lu and the others, grabbed Yin Shijie's head and took a closer look!
"It's indeed him!"
After seeing the head clearly, Li Shimin couldn't hide his excitement at all. He reached out and groped around on his body, and in a moment he pulled out a seal with the words: "Deputy Marshal Yin of Soldiers and Horses"!
"Okay, okay! Who caught him!" Holding the seal tightly, Li Shimin stood up excitedly and looked at the people around him.
When Lao Lu saw this, he quickly knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, King Qin, it was his subordinates and a group of brothers who caught him!"
"Well done!" Li Shimin excitedly patted Lao Lu on the shoulder several times and said repeatedly: "You have made a great contribution this time!"
Old Lu suddenly beamed! *The most important rewards and punishments are clear. The King of Qin said that if you achieve great achievements, it is definitely not a matter of rewarding you with a few copper coins! Maybe this time, I and my brothers will be promoted to the third level, and from now on we will no longer be the lowest auxiliary soldiers!
Overjoyed, Lao Lu accidentally saw Yin Shijie, who was still unconscious. As if he remembered something, he quickly raised his hands and asked Xiao Lizi: "King Qin, you see that he is seriously injured. Do you want a military doctor to take a look at him?"
Li Shimin was holding the seal and was overjoyed. He nodded without thinking: "Of course! He is much better alive than dead! You go find the best military doctor in the army... Forget it, for a while I asked Xiao Hou to come over and show him! Are these the captured war horses?"
"Yes! All the horses and people are here!"
"Okay! Send two of you to send all the horses to the east of the city! The rest of the people are here to watch over these people! We must not let them run away!"
"Here!"
Lao Lu and the generals guarding the city at Ximen clasped their fists in response! But now these surrenderers have accepted their fate! Entering the city, running? Where to run?
Nodding to Lao Lu and the others, Li Shimin put the seal in his arms, jumped on a bay-red horse, and galloped towards the east of the city again!
Before running very far, Xiao Lizi saw Xiao Han galloping towards him on horseback from the opposite side. Without enough time to stop and say hello, Li Shimin could only point hard behind him, signaling for him to go over there quickly. With Xiao Han here, he can feel more at ease.
