Chapter 162 Princess Pingyang who was underestimated

The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, which caused the ice particles on Yunguan City Wall to tremble on the ice surface. The ice formed on the city wall fell down with the vibration waves.

The horns were continuous, the smoke and dust soared into the sky, and tens of thousands of cavalry roared.

The Tang soldiers at Izumo Pass looked at each other in horror and their faces turned pale. Even Xue Rengui expected that the enemy had ambushed nearby, but he never dreamed that in order to deal with their mere 300 people, the enemy actually gathered tens of thousands of people!

In Anxi, tens of thousands of people are already a scary number. The Gaochang Kingdom, which once dominated Anxi for 150 years, has only more than 30,000 Gaochang cavalry! Now a small Izuyun Pass has been attacked by tens of thousands of cavalrymen. Xue Rengui really doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh!

The Tang soldiers standing on the city wall desperately tilted arrows towards the enemy under the city. Xue Rengui shot three arrows in a row. Looking at the boundless enemy cavalry, a trace of worry flashed through his heart.

There are so many enemies!

With this style of fighting, even if these 300 of them are not beaten to death, they will be exhausted to death!

Xue Rengui gritted his teeth, raised the iron-tied bow in his hand, and looked into the distance. Finally, he found an enemy general who was commanding his subordinates to attack the city three hundred and fifty steps away.

Xue Rengui did not hesitate and put away the iron-tired bow. Although the iron-tired bow could barely fly at a distance of 300 steps, the speed and penetration of the arrows were too weak at this distance.

Xue Rengui naturally knew that there was only one chance of killing from a long range.

Xue Rengui used his super vision and his feeling of archery. He came to a scorpion crossbow in front of Guancheng. The scorpion crossbow had a range that was not weaker than the Eight Niu Crossbow, but it was too bulky and had a weaker fixed power than the Eight Niu Crossbow, so he was in a very embarrassing existence in the Tang army's equipment.

The scorpion crossbow can only shoot alone and can snipe targets within a range of 300 or 500 steps. The key is that within this distance, the head is equivalent to a fly, and it is a fly that can move. It is very difficult to snipe such a target.

Although the weapon invented by Chen Ying's guidance, Shule College and Datang University of Technology also paid great attention to it. They replaced the spring steel with stronger elasticity, increased the winding of the pulley, a base that can rotate 360 ​​degrees, and a shooting height that can be adjusted up and down by 90 degrees.

If the rate of fire and power are not considered, this is simply the Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun in later generations.

Xue Rengui aimed at the enemy general with a scorpion crossbow. Just as he was about to launch, he suddenly found a large slut with a woven ornament with a ferocious wolf head embroidered in the middle.

It was actually the Dayuan of the Shanyu of the Western Turks.

Xue Rengui immediately gave up the commander and aimed at this big fuss.

"Bang..."

The entire crossbow body shook suddenly, and a sharp sound of breaking through the air and breaking through the sky above the battlefield was only covered by the noise on the battlefield. Finally, a puff pierced through the flagpole of the wolf-toothed Western Turks, and the flagpole fell down accordingly.

The huge big bell was blown towards the direction of Izuyunguan by the wind. At this time, the big bell seemed to be like a kite, and it actually spanned more than 500 steps and fell into Izuyunguan.

The battle stopped unconsciously, and the cavalry involved in the attack looked blankly at the bare flagpole behind.

Shaboluo Lishu Khan became confused. He thought it was the Tang army's raid that hit Da Tao.

Although the range of the Baniu Crossbow can be easily achieved at such a super-range position, the Baniu Crossbow is difficult to aim.

"call out!"

At this moment, the second crossbow arrow penetrated from the forehead of Shaboluo Lissi Khan's horse. The sharp crossbow arrow penetrated the head of the war horse and penetrated hard into Shaboluo Lissi Khan's belly. The sharp arrow cut off his intestines and allowed his vitality to pass away quickly.

As one of the four Western Turkic khans, Shaboluo Lissi Khan actually died in front of Izuyun Pass like this.

As Shaboluo Liss Khan fell from his war horse, the battle before Izuyun Pass stopped.

The Western Turkic army, which had no leader, was in chaos, and Xue Rengui would not give up this opportunity. He led the only 102 cavalry in Izuyunguan City and launched a Jedi counterattack against tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry.

Anyone thought that Xue Rengui would definitely be defeated in this almost disproportionate battle. However, beyond everyone's expectations, Xue Rengui was like a god's help, with more than a hundred cavalry, and chased the defeated soldiers for dozens of miles, beheaded a thousand levels, and died under his horse by no less than three thousand Turkic people.

Xue Rengui also became famous in the Anxi Army's battle and became a famous arrow god in the Anxi Army.

As the general manager of Shule, Zhang Huaiwei promoted Xue Rengui to the rank of the seventh-rank Yi commander, and directly promoted him to the Zhaowu commander.

If this commendation order is in front of Chen Ying, Chen Ying will definitely not hesitate and will directly promote Xue Rengui to General Zhongwu or General Zhuangwu. It is a pity.

Xue Rengui's fate was not good, and the entire Anxi military generals knew about Chen Ying's assassination. They were unwilling to deal with this matter, but instead increased their vigilance.

...

In Chang'an Tai Chi Palace, Li Jiancheng instantly grew older in just a few days, with his head covered with white hair. He looked at Li Anyan and said, "How is General Chen's injury?"

Li Anyan said with a frustration: "The crossbow arrow is poisonous and it is very serious. I am afraid it will be a lot of danger!"

Li Jiancheng said: "You choose some capable subordinates to escort the best imperial physicians in the palace, and at the same time transfer all the best and outstanding talents in the Yuan Sui Imperial Guard. If you need medicine or famous doctors, just help me find them. You must cure him! He must not be in trouble!"

Li Anyan said: "Abide by the order!"

Li Jiancheng said again: "Protect his family! He offended too many people. If something goes wrong, those bastards will not let his family go!"

Li Anyan said: "Abide by the order!"

He didn't dare to neglect, so he went down to make arrangements quickly.

Just then, Li Jiancheng suddenly said, "Forget it, your staff are already tight, and Chenjiabao is hanging alone outside Chang'an City. If there are fewer people, it is difficult to protect them. If there are too many people... Chang'an City will probably be taken advantage of by them again!"

Li Anyan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is extremely true!"

"so……"

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng's head flashed with an idea and he immediately had an idea.

"Where is the servant of the Central Secretariat?"

Cen Wenben said: "I am here!"

Li Jiancheng pondered: "Print an order..."

Li Jiancheng was no longer in the mood to review the memorials. He sat there in a daze for a long time, and repeated a sentence in a low voice: "Chen Ying, all I can do for you is this, you must be well!"

...

In the Qinglin, there is a table of incense in the lobby of Chenjiabao. In front of the table of incense, Li Xiuning was dressed in a dress and was neatly dressed in military uniform, while Li Daozhen stood with a knife in his hand.

A young eunuch said with a slight silence: "...I only govern the world with literature and suppress the rebellion with martial arts. Princess Pingyang has outstanding literary talents and has a reputation for virtuousness in the four fields; she has virtue in the chaos and martial arts are revealed to the temple. She was appointed as the general of the Zhu Kingdom, and opened the official rituals and the three departments to participate in the major policies together. "

Li Xiuning took the imperial edict with an expression on his face and said, "My dear - thank God for your kindness!"

Li Xiuning picked up the imperial edict, but he didn't even go back to the mansion and walked straight out of the door.

Ma Sanbao was shocked, leaned over the boat and asked, "Princess, where are you going?"

Li Xiuning said: "I have been here for too long and I am so bored that I want to go to Chang'an to have a look."

Ma Sanbao said in horror: "Princess, don't go! Now Guanzhong has become a boiling crater, and it is extremely chaotic. I don't know how many people lurk in the dark and want to attack you, so you must not go!"

Li Xiuning's voice was not high, but she said extremely firmly: "It is because of the chaos there that I want to go... Originally, I had already been at ease to be a good wife and mother, not caring about the world, but they forced me to raise the flag of the Detachment of Women's Army, and I promoted the tent, and the divisions of the Detachment of Women's Army were built. I asked thousands of men whether the swords in their hands could still be sharp and could they kill the enemy with me!"

Changsun Wugui said with some concern: "Sanniang, calm down, Chen Lang..."

"He won't be in trouble. I have experienced a more terrifying crisis with him. He has survived tenaciously, and this time will be no exception. He has always been gritting his teeth outside. Now I have to help him do something and stabilize Guanzhong." Li Xiuning said lightly.

Ma Sanbao did not persuade him again, and Changsun Wugui did not persuade him either.

Li Xiuning is right.

Those who want to cause trouble, Guanzhong is the first to be in trouble.

Now there is a vague news that the Xueyantuo people headed south from Yudu Army Mountain, and Western Turkic troops also appeared in Anxi. According to rumors, Jie Li Khan had arrived in the northern desert and organized his old subordinates to prepare to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.

Similarly, Songtsen Gampo also returned to Tubo, and the seemingly calm Tubo snow plateau was also brewing new fissions.

The fang people in Jiannan Road are also ready to move, and the native barbarians in Lingnan are also eyeing each other. This is not important. As long as the Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty is not in chaos, sporadic rebellions in various places will never collapse the Tang Dynasty court.

Li Xiuning led hundreds of guards from Chenjiabao to attack Princess Pingyang's grand ceremony and slowly advanced towards Chang'an City. At the same time, more and more old subordinates of the Detachment of Women came to hear the news.

When they arrived in Chang'an City, more than 2,000 people had gathered around Li Xiuning.

With the return of the Detachment of Women's Army, the Guanzhong area has just started a little bit of trouble. Li Xiuning's Detachment of Women's Army has appeared. Such speed is chilling and the people are calmer.

Although Chen Ying's life and death were uncertain, Li Xiuning stood up. The combat effectiveness of the Anxi army was not affected. With them, the world would be in chaos!

Calmness is just an expression phenomenon, and the undercurrent has already spread. Since they dare to assassinate, they will never fail to attack Li Xiuning. You must know that Li Xiuning is the most critical person to maintain Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng.

If Li Xiuning had not existed, with Chen Yingxiong's strength to dominate Anxi, the court would have long since reduced the vassal states.

Li Xiuning was both the princess in the Li Tang royal family who was best at leading troops to fight. She was also the only princess who enjoyed the title of prince and had substantial official positions.

No one would ignore Li Xiuning's existence. Li Xiuning took the Women's Detachment to inspect the Three Guards. Almost every time she went to, there were assassins stung secretly, killing him whenever she had the chance, and doing everything she could, poisoning, arson, cold guns, and hidden arrows...

Only tricks they didn't expect, and no tricks they hadn't tried, were crazy.

However, these assassination conspiracies have never succeeded. Li Xiuning has a group of highly vigilant masters around him, and the heroes in Guanzhong are also anxious.

Li Xiuning is the general backstage of the entire Guanzhong and even the whole world. Without Li Xiuning's care, they had already been dealt with by civil servants.

Unless it is a dirty butt and a mess, the government will not do a one-size-fits-all approach for the sake of one's own and all.

The heroes in Guanzhong also fought their best. Once Li Xiuning had a problem, it would be a real disaster for them. They might be called clerks of the aristocratic clans or vicious dogs raised by large clans, and they would never be as free and easy as they are now. The heroes all knew that this was their last chance. If something happened to Li Xiuning, the aunt, would not be able to think about it.

The heroes have huge energy. They have mobilized all their hands, are highly vigilant, and stared at every suspicious face. Many assassins were caught by them before they could take action. They rolled up straw mats and buried them in the wilderness.

This was a thrilling secret battle. From Qinglin to Chen Cang, from Chen Cang to Fufeng, Li Xiuning was assassinated in a total of 192 times, killing and assassinating 406 people.

More than two hundred heroes died to protect her.

Of course, these things cannot be well-known to the outside world.

The Detachment of Women, who had been disbanded for more than ten years, carried out training while following Li Xiuning's inspection of Guanzhong and replaced the new equipment, had more than 12,500 people. They have become the most beloved soldiers of the people of Guanzhong.

...

In the north of Chang'an City, there is a luxurious mansion.

The middle-aged man in white robe looked gloomy and took the information on the desk with heavy information: "We really underestimated these females!"
