"Your Highness, Your Highness." Cheng Chumo panted and ran to Li Chengqian and saluted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, when the general captured the door, he heard that two thousand captured brothers were detained here, so after the war, he ordered people to search for him.

, and found that they are in the dungeon in Kansai-myeon."

Li Chengqian was overjoyed after hearing this. What he lacked most right now was troops. Now two thousand people appeared out of thin air. How could he not be excited: "Then why don't you release all the people quickly and screen them immediately?"

"Your Highness, everyone has been released and is being screened. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"You idiot, what are you saying? Lead the way." Li Chengqian kicked the smiling Cheng Chumo and scolded him with a smile.

When Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo arrived at the Guanxi Dungeon, some of the soldiers in the East Palace were busy boiling water for cooking, and some were bandaging them. The rescued Tang soldiers had smiles on their faces, thinking that they were not killed.

To die is to be sold to Tuyuhun to be a slave for life.

But they never expected that the imperial army would come and rescue them.

Li Chengqian walked to a wounded soldier and squatted down, tearing off a corner of his robe and wrapping his arm. "Take good care of your injury, and then fight those barbarians when your injury is healed."

The wounded soldier did not know Li Chengqian, but saw that he was wearing a general's armor, struggling to get up and said: "General, I am not seriously injured due to my humble position, but I can still go into battle to kill the enemy to wash away the shame of being captured."

"Okay, you are indeed a good son of our Tang Army."

Li Chengqian walked on the high platform and said to the generals: "Brothers, I, Li Chengqian Tian, ​​is the supervisor of the Xihai Road. I was ordered by the general manager Qin Qiong to seize Tiemen Pass. Now the main force of our army is attacking Minzhou with all its strength. It will not be possible in the near future.

.”

Hearing that the army was attacking Minzhou, the soldiers all cheered and cheered, and the slogans of Wansheng of the Tang Dynasty were deafening. Li Chengqian waved to everyone and asked everyone to be quiet.

"Brothers are all warriors who have fought many battles. They know that Tiemenguan is the only way for the enemy to retreat to Taozhou. Seizing this place will cut off their retreat. It is precisely because this is the enemy's seven inches, so we must fight to the death.

pinch it.

Whether it is the enemy fleeing from Minzhou or the enemy troops coming from Taozhou to increase their troops, they will attack here frantically.

Although none of my subordinates are greedy for life and fear of death, they are no match for four hands. Therefore, I want you to go back to the battlefield and work with me to avenge the soldiers and civilians who died in Minzhou. You are willing to avenge your dead fathers, elders and brothers.

?"

The soldiers standing below were surprised to learn that the man who led the troops to rescue them was the prince of the current dynasty. They still understood the principle that a rich man could not sit down in court.

No one who is a prince is afraid of death, so what does he have to fear about a stinky Qiu Ba who has been captured before?

Besides, who doesn't know that General Qin Shubao is the God of War in the Tang army. With General Qin, those chickens and dogs are no longer a problem. We men will just follow the prince and suffer for a few days.

At that time, not only can we avenge those brothers, but we can also wash away the shame of their capture.

"Your Highness, brothers are willing to follow Your Highness and kill all those sons of bitches in Tuyuhun."

"Yes, Your Highness, you risked your life, but we are not afraid of death either."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as our brothers are still breathing, we will never let the enemy enter Iron Gate Official"...

After comforting the captured soldiers, Li Chengqian looked at the scribe's statistics. There were 2,100 captured soldiers and more than 300 wounded soldiers who could not go into battle. This left Li Chengqian with less than 2,500 troops.

, although there are not many, but they are still capable of fighting.

Qin Huaiyu: "Your Highness, we found two dilapidated trebuchets in the pass. Fortunately, they are still usable. Now the ice surface and bridges of the Tao River have been destroyed. I believe the direction of Taozhou has noticed it."

"It doesn't matter, they should know it when the smoke rises. They can't hide. Huaiyu, you immediately organize all the troops to go to the pass for defense. Crossbows, rolling wood, thunder stones, gold juice, everything that can be used to defend the pass, give it to me.

Send it up."

"Chu Mo, you killed all those prisoners for me. We don't have much food. We don't know how long we will be here. How can we give them something to eat? At the same time, find a spacious place to place the wounded soldiers."

.”

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, the two agreed and left.

The words were divided into two parts. Xie Yingdeng and Luo Cheng were sitting outside the camp facing the west. They had been restless these days. In their opinion, there was no need for Li Chengqian to take this risk. Wouldn't it be better to be his supervisor?

"I don't know how your Highness and the others are doing."

Luo Cheng sighed, picked up the stones around him and threw them out hard, but just like that, Luo Cheng's hand couldn't fall down.

"What's wrong," Xie Yingden asked lazily.

"Brother Xie, look, there are three wisps of wolf smoke. Your Highness has succeeded." Xie Yingdeng looked in the direction pointed by Luo Cheng, inhaled, took a breath of cool air and then became overjoyed. He stood up and pulled Luo Chengcheng and ran towards the camp.

.

Luo Cheng ran into the commander's tent and said to Qin Shubao, who was scratching his head: "Commander, three plumes of smoke are rising from the direction of the iron gate. His Royal Highness has succeeded."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's beat the drum and gather the generals immediately."

After a stick of incense was burned, all the officers above the commander-in-chief of Saikaidō gathered in the commander's tent, waiting for the order from the chief steward.

Qin Shubao glanced at the generals and said: "Generals, Tiemenguan has been occupied by our army. His Royal Highness does not have many troops, so our army must start attacking immediately."

"Order: Former army chief Xie Yingdeng immediately launched a general attack on the Erlang Mountain garrison, and must conquer Yunu Peak before dark. After conquering Yunu Peak, General Luo Cheng led his cavalry to immediately attack Minzhou, and the main force of the army followed suit.

In addition, two piles of smoke will be lit, and the prince and Hou Junji will proceed according to the original battle plan after receiving them."

After Qin Shubao's order was issued, all the generals in the tent stood up to receive the order.

Qin Shubao: "Brothers, His Royal Highness, as the crown prince of a country, risking his own life regardless of personal safety, should be the first to set an example for us. Whether the battle of Minzhou can be successful depends on today. I will personally supervise the battle today, at the foot of Erlang Mountain.

Looking at you.

See how you repay the emperor's favor. Anyone who is unfavorable in the battle will be beheaded on the spot. No matter how many people die, Minzhou must be taken for me. If the soldiers die, you will fill them in. If you die, I will fill them in.

"

"The last general will fight to the death and fight to the death." After Xie Yingdeng finished speaking, all the generals in the tent shouted in unison.

The Tang army's attack also surprised the Tuyuhun army. For several days, the Tang army was weak and retreated after a few hits.

What happened today? Everyone seemed to have taken medicine. They didn't even dodge the arrows and rushed forward desperately.

Yin Yuan took off his arms, held a knife in one hand, and a large shield in the other. With a roar, he rushed into the battle formation to block the enemy. For a time, there was no enemy. Seeing his general's bravery, the soldiers in front also also

They all screamed and rushed forward.
