Chapter 840 Rescue Li Kaigu
Li Xiaoyi frowned.
Not in a very good mood.
What the enemy general said reminded him of someone.
Fang Ruhai, the General of the Cavalry of the Great Wu!
When he learned the news of Fang Ruhai's death, all 50,000 soldiers of the Zuo Yingyang Guard were grief-stricken.
Fang Ruhai's deputy general Zhou Ci, who was specially assigned to him, cried for half an hour after hearing the news. Finally, he knelt in front of him and asked him to avenge Fang Ruhai.
Bi Ke, the former deputy general of Yang Dacheng, also had the same idea and begged him together with Zhou Ci.
The soldiers he attacked and killed in the camp were the brothers of the enemy general. The Zuo Yingyang Guards who died at the hands of the Zuo Yuqian Guards, weren't they their beloved relatives, friends, and brothers?
"I'll help you."
Li Xiaoyi waved his hand: "Leave no one behind!"
Zhou Ci could no longer suppress his anger, so he rode out on his horse, holding a long-handled axe and rushed towards Liu Desheng.
In just one encounter, Liu Desheng was split in half by an axe. The army rushed forward and killed all of Liu Desheng's soldiers.
Zhou Ci rode his horse back, reined in the horse, dismounted, chopped off Liu Desheng's head with one hand, and roared while holding Liu Desheng's head.
Bi Ke didn't bother to disturb Zhou Ci's good mood, and clasped his fists towards Li Xiaoyi and said:
"General, should we immediately pursue Li Kaigu's army?"
Li Xiaoyi looked towards the southwest and laughed.
"Leave 5,000 soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of you, follow me out of the south gate to deal with the remnants of Li Kaigu's defeated army!"
"This time, even if Li Kaigu can escape, his left and right Yuqian guards must stay!"
……
On the border between Fuzhou and Jianzhou, the Zuolongwuwei army rushed into the military camp, but did not see many soldiers. After finding the military leader and asking him in detail, they learned that there were less than 3,000 people in the camp.
Two thousand of them were civilian laborers who were drafted in. They changed into old leather armor and pretended to be a military garrison.
Of the 30,000 troops stationed here, 29,000 of them had already joined forces with the troops in the military camps on the border of Tingzhou and Jianzhou, determined to kill Li Kaigu without a burial place.
On the border of Tingzhou and Jianzhou, after the Zuoweiwei army attacked, they got the same result and this horrifying news.
When the news was urgently delivered to Daleha, the former Turkic marshal did not immediately order to rescue Li Kaigu, but stared at the map and began to analyze what might happen next.
Zhang Renyuan was extremely anxious.
If Li Kaigu's army in Fuzhou was really wiped out by Li Xiaoyi, no matter how great his achievements were, he could not make up for this mistake.
About 100,000 Yuqian guards!
That’s a full 100,000-strong army!
After Zhang Renyuan waited anxiously, Daleha turned around and calmly ordered:
"General Zhang, don't worry. There is still room for recovery."
"Send your deputy general to lead 5,000 cavalrymen through Tingzhou and into Quanzhou."
"Send another general with 50,000 infantrymen into Tingzhou and follow closely. If you see the enemy, stop them with all your might and give Li Kaigu's army a chance to survive!"
"Please ask General Fang Zhe to lead the Left Dragon Guard and the Left Guard's Central Army to advance into Jianzhou and block Li Xiaoyi's army's path north to Yuezhou!"
"I want to have a life-and-death battle with Li Xiaoyi in the second state of Fujian!"
"After this battle, there will be no more Li Xiaoyi in the world!"
Daleha's gaze moved between Fuzhou and Jianzhou.
This was the place he chose for the decisive battle, and also the burial place he chose for Li Xiaoyi.
He wanted to use the blood of Li Xiaoyi and the Left and Right Yingyang Guards to avenge Li Kaigu's Left and Right Yuqin Guards.
Daleha, who had a clear understanding of the war situation, knew very well that Li Kaigu's army of about 95,000 Yuqian Guards would most likely be crippled.
More than ten years ago, he had heard of Li Xiaoyi's reputation. This man was as good as a ghost in commanding troops, as fast as lightning in battle, as fast as the wind, and as fast as fire in invasion. Once he took action, it would surely be a big move that would terrify the enemy.
Unfortunately, some accidents happened later and he was directly punished by Wu Zetian to Danzhou. He disappeared on the way and everyone thought he died on the way, but unexpectedly he is back alive now.
The battle against the Left and Right Yuqin Guards was Li Xiaoyi's first battle with 200,000 men after his comeback. Given Li Xiaoyi's character, he was merciful enough to have only 3,000 of the 65,000 or so Yuqin Guards come back.
As for Li Kaigu, the General of the Right Jade Guard...
Daleha could only pray to God, praying that Li Kaigu would be lucky enough to be rescued by the black-armored cavalry he sent to Fuzhou, otherwise it would be difficult for him to go to Quanzhou.
……
Fuzhou.
Li Kaigu's way to the south was blocked. After changing direction several times, Li Kaigu breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was still heading south.
But at this moment, a large group of people rushed out from the front. Li Kai, who was exhausted, raised his ancient ingot knife and looked back at Zhao Kai.
"Come and kill with me!"
At this time, Li Kaigu had only more than 800 cavalry and less than 1,000 infantrymen left.
He looked back at the soldiers who had sworn to follow him to the death, and said with emotion:
"I, Li Kaigu, am an incompetent general who exhausted a hundred thousand soldiers. How can I still have the face to meet His Majesty?"
"Once we have charged out, I will end my life and give an account to His Majesty!"
"Now, everyone, follow me and charge!"
"kill!!!"
Li Kaigu's two thousand troops fought against the oncoming thousands of troops.
As soon as the battle started, Li Kaigu keenly discovered that these thousands of troops were no ordinary army. Compared with the several ambushes they had encountered before, the combat effectiveness of this group of ambushes was quite terrifying.
The two thousand soldiers reinforced by cavalry could not gain any advantage among the thousands of enemies. In the dark night, the cold light of weapons flashed, and Li Kaigu's cavalry were killed and thrown to the ground.
Zhao Kai roared, "How dare you, you rat, be so arrogant! Your grandfather Zhao Kai is here!"
He fought back, stabbing dozens of people along the way, with more than 20 wounds on his body, and he fought his way out.
"General, come out quickly!"
He shouted at Li Kaigu, and in order to prevent the soldiers from surrounding him, he rushed back and forth and killed a bloody path for Li Kaigu.
After a series of battles, Li Kaigu was already exhausted. At this moment, he was stopped by several people. When he felt a little weak, he was shot in the waist.
The strong spirit he had maintained was shattered by the bullet. Li Kaigu was extremely exhausted and felt that he could hardly lift the knife in his hand.
At this moment, Zhao Kai led his troops to attack, stabbed to death the general who had scratched Li Kaigu, and then stabbed three people from behind.
"General, hurry up. I will be your escort!"
Above the valley, Yang Dacheng held the sword at his waist and watched as nearly a hundred riders broke away from the last trap he had set and headed towards the valley below him. He immediately smiled.
"Ru Hai, we have been friends for many years. You died at the hands of Li Kaigu, so I will kill Li Kaigu to avenge you!"
"And to avenge the tragic deaths of fifty thousand of your Zuoyingyang Guards!"
"Let this valley be his burial place!"
"You can also look over here from the mouth of the net!"
Yang Dacheng's calm gaze gradually became sharp.
Guided by the dim moonlight, dozens of cavalrymen rushed all the way to the front of the valley.
Zhao Kai was covered in blood and shouted:
"General, I'll go explore the way!"
