The nine hundred and thirty sixth chapter enters the battle (forty-nine)
The rumbling drums and gongs were heard.
As the commander of various troops, Xie Shufang had two additional war drums than the troops under his command to issue orders to greet the troops.
After all, in such a large area, not to mention the thousands of people he led, even if the 60,000 troops of Li Jiancheng and his subordinates arrived together, it was still too small compared to the vast mountains and mountains.
In order to avoid falling into the point where each of them is fighting for each other and cannot support each other, the sound of golden drums and arrows cannot be separated.
As the head of the three armies, the extra war drums on these two sides mean the urgency of the situation.
Once the drum is beaten, it means that the military situation has reached an irreversible level. Other troops and horses must not be delayed at all and must come to this place at full speed.
The war drum beats and the three armies are shaking. As the chief general of the entire army, naturally, he also knows the weight of the snare drum and cannot do whatever he wants.
Xie Shufang does have some problems with aristocratic families, but as a talented person who cultivates a large number of resources and hopes to revive his family in the future, he will not be able to distinguish between major issues in major matters, nor is he a scholar like Wang Rengong who is good at power and planning and generals.
Under normal circumstances, he doesn't need to be so anxious to gather troops, just emitting arrows is enough.
But when he saw Xu Le, he guessed what Li Jiancheng thought: at all costs, even if he fought all these three thousand people, he would keep Xu Le! Since Xu Le appeared, the Tang army will definitely defeat the attack, especially the several battles that concern the survival of the Tang Dynasty, and the Xuanjia Cavalry has never been missing.
Even Xie Shufang admitted that if it were not for the emergence of Xuanjia Cavalry, not only would the Tang Dynasty not only not be able to establish the country so smoothly, but whether it could exist would be a huge problem.
But the greater this military achievements, the deeper the hatred of Li Jiancheng and the people around him, including himself.
This is not only because Xu Le is not his own, but more importantly, he can see a dangerous sign in him: not bowing to the aristocratic family.
In fact, Li Jiancheng is not a person who can reach this position today, and is always a person who is both a friend or an enemy.
If he really had a close relationship with Erlang, he would be the enemy. He didn't know how many people he would kill, and he would have been betrayed by his relatives long ago.
Of course, a person can make friends with Li Shimin or not buy his own accounts, but he must recognize a rule: that is, the right way that all the imperial court recognized.
In other words, it is the rules set by the high-ranking families.
In other words, Xu Le may not recognize Li Jiancheng, Xie Shufang or someone else, but he must recognize the circle of the aristocratic families and the rules of high and low that they set.
Knowing that before you become a noble family, you must maintain awe of the noble family. After becoming a noble family, you must also abide by the rules of superiority and inferiority within the aristocratic family. You cannot challenge the high-ranking rank of the character A, or even threaten the status of the high-ranking rank of aristocratic family.
Otherwise, it would be Su Ze and Liu Yu's previous lessons that could pose a threat to the high-ranking surname at any time.
Everyone in Li Jiancheng's circle has a consensus.
They can accept the reappearance of tyrants like Jie and Zhou in this world, or even Hu monarchs, but they will never accept a young man who ignores the rules of aristocratic families and does not value the interests of aristocratic families. Otherwise, what is the point of killing the father and son of the Yang family through hardships?
Even if this naughty young man is not a monarch, he is just a general.
Xu Le's various performances since his birth prove that he happens to be a naughty man.
He didn't care about the rules, did not pay attention to respect, but believed in his own courage and military achievements, and then he was the gang of subordinates.
If he offended Li Yuan for the first time, he would take the initiative to seek any aristocratic family and be willing to be a dog. No matter which aristocratic family he joined, he would be accepted into this circle.
Someone wants to deal with him, some people want to hold him, and eventually become a bargaining chip in the game of interest, either obtaining greater benefits for the main or being thrown out by the main to die.
But Xu Le did not mean to bow his head from beginning to end. Not only himself, but even his subordinates had the same attitude.
No matter who wants to reach out to Xuanjiaqi or provide some kind of "help" or "human favor", they are all rejected coldly.
Even the relationship with Li Shimin is equally related, rather than seeking refuge.
A Han family slave who had no family dared to make equal arguments with the children of top-notch families. This alone was enough to make Xu Le a public enemy by a noble family! Coupled with the praise of several generations of the Xu family, it was easy to conclude that the Xu family and his father and grandfather were pure warriors who were polite and looked down on the aristocratic family. They attributed all the credit and power to themselves and refused to bow to anyone.
You must never let Xu Le grow up! You must not let him become the leader among the martial artists and gain the power to leverage the status of the aristocratic family.
This is also one of the reasons why Xuanjia Riding is always troubled by others in all aspects and is always easy to get into trouble.
No one hopes that he will succeed, and he cannot sit idly by and watch Xuanjiaqi become the most powerful army in the Li Tang Dynasty! Xie Shufang himself is also a person in the circle, so he naturally knows these secrets.
The moment I saw Xu Le, I realized that the main goal of today's arrangement was not Wagang's loud horses, but Xu Le and Li Shimin behind him.
You should know that if you calculate the capture of Li Yan, there are actually many things to do.
As a warrior, Xie Shufang felt that this matter was not that complicated. Li Yan had never led a soldier and had never fought a war. She met a group of old thieves in the Green Forest who had been through the battle formation. It was normal for something to go wrong.
But as a child of aristocratic families, he also knew how good the medicine was.
As long as you take advantage of the problem and bring things up, you must say that there are conspiracies and tricks behind it. Some people collude with foreign enemies to get out of the way, which is enough to create a bloody storm.
Playing these is the best play of the aristocratic family, so Xie Shufang is naturally familiar with these.
It is easy to know how easy it is to weave evidence of crimes, and how terrifying the impact of such a thing is.
Xu Le and the Wagang army who kidnapped Li Yan advanced and retreated together, and this alone was enough to kill Xu Le and his fellow disciples.
Even if Li Yuan tear him apart, he would not bear any moral pressure, and no one would think that Li Yuan did something wrong.
As for Li Shimin behind Xu Le, he is the pusher of Li Yan's army and Xu Le's life-and-death friendship. It is not too difficult to get all this on his head.
Even if this cannot be used to kill Li Shimin alone, it will at least make him lose his fate with the throne in this life and will always lose the qualification to compete with Li Jiancheng for the throne.
This is killing two birds with one stone, this is the real purpose of this deal! Why should we let go of the real enemy? Instead of ambushing here, it is to deal with Li Shimin, Xu Le and the Xuanjia Cavalry behind him.
Everyone can leave today, Xu Le must stay! Beat the drum and gather troops, and arrows are fired at once! After seeing Xu Le appear, Xie Shufang directly issued these two orders, and at the same time gave up the plan to plot against Xu Le with cold arrows.
After all, Xu Le's record was well known to everyone in Chang'an, and he had heard of how he received arrows and shot the archer to death.
No matter how skillful the art of shooting is, you will never be able to successfully plot.
Besides, just such a heavy cavalry like an iron lump rushed over. If his arrows want to work, they can only shoot those few protection flaws. It is too difficult to succeed.
Let's just greet the arrows! All the shooters loosened their bowstrings at the same time, and the rain of arrows covered the sky and poured towards the Wagang Army, which was located in front of the shooter! Since Xie Shufang's tactic was to shoot arrows first and then beat the drum, in fact, when Wang Kuo's troops heard the drum sound, the Tang army's arrows had already shot out two rounds.
The three thousand soldiers and horses sent by Li Jiancheng this time were elite soldiers drawn out from the 60,000 troops of the headquarters. As the chief general of this army, Xie Shufang was even more elite soldiers and horses under his command.
Not only are there elite soldiers among the Tang army infantry, but many of them are Li Jiancheng's own troops and family generals.
They are not only good at fighting, but the most important thing is to be good at shooting.
The children of the Han family fought with the Hu people on the grassland for many years and had already summarized a set of tactics that suit them.
Facing the Hu Qi who came and went like the wind, and the riding and shooting tactics they rely on for fame, the countermeasures are four words: strong armor and strong bow.
Heavy armored cavalry charged forward and destroyed the Hu people's military formation.
Infantry relies on strong military formations and hard-working shooting techniques to suppress the firepower of the Hu people.
The Hu people's riding bows are weak, and the arrows cannot reach far away or break the armor. The step bows made by skilled craftsmen in the Han family are enough to surpass the Hu people in terms of strength and shooting range.
As for the elite troops, they have even more accurate requirements. Once they encounter Hu people, they must ensure that they can be comparable to the grassland cavalry on the basis of accurate forces.
These elite infantrymen of the Li family were all cultivated under this regular military training system. Their shooting skills, speed and accuracy were extremely good. They used a one-stone two-door arch bow produced by the military weapon supervisor of the previous dynasty. The bow was powerful and powerful.
The Wagang Army could only hear a sharp whistling sound, and then their eyes were filled with locust and feathered arrows.
Until this moment, everyone began to be grateful to Xu Le from the bottom of their hearts.
If he hadn't stopped the team in time to remind the entire army to wear it, this round of arrow rain alone would not know how many heroes would be lost! You should know that these arrows were not targeting specific persons, but targeting the tip of the entire cavalry cone formation. In addition, the Wagang cavalry itself was not still in progress.
Therefore, some arrows fell on Xu Le and others, and some flew over the heads of the front row of soldiers and fell to the cavalry formation behind.
Because the arrow rain came suddenly, many people were not prepared at all, and they didn't know what had happened after they reacted, and had been shot by arrows on their bodies.
If it were the same cloth clothes as before, this arrow would probably be a transparent hole! With armor protection, the person who was caught was injured in pain, but the injury was not too serious after all.
Except for a few who are too lucky and have been knocked out by an arrow or the throat, most of the people who are caught are not seriously injured.
Everyone was not surprised, but instead felt an inexplicable feeling: It turned out that you were hiding here.
Instead of being worried about the enemy's location, or being always guarded against arrows shot from somewhere, the ambush attacks at this moment, everyone felt at ease.
It’s not that I’m not afraid, but that I feel relieved.
Anyway, the horizontal and vertical have reached this point, and even nervousness is useless, just just greet him.
Besides, if you have a powerful general like Le Langjun as a pioneer this time, what else is there to be scary?
The point of Le Langjun’s horse spear is the direction of his own military force.
