Chapter 58 The Prince Guest

The spear formation is a helpless move against the cavalry. It is undeniable that such a spear formation is an effective means to restrain the cavalry. The spear can effortlessly penetrate the cavalry and war horses into blood gourds. Unless the cavalry is surrounded by cavalry and shoot the formation of the gun formation with bows and arrows, the cavalry will rush up overwhelmingly and harvest the heads.

Faced with the cold light, the war horses would not hit the top with animal instinct. The nomadic peoples had already summarized four golden rules in their blood, "array without fighting"

The so-called formation without fighting means facing a rigorous formation, and you must fight at all, otherwise it would be life-changing and there would be no other good way.

Originally, Li Zhengbao's plan was to use this gun array to win precious time so that he could gather the defeated soldiers. However, at this moment, looking at the dense crowds of defeated soldiers, Li Zhengbao was really crying without tears.

The Liang army defeated soldiers who were chased by Li Daozhen, who had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground rushed towards Li Dingbao's gun forest. The gun shape that had just formed was instantly washed away.

"The Liang army was defeated, the Liang army fled!"

Li Daozhen roared: "Those who surrender will not kill, and those who surrender will not kill!"

These Liang soldiers who originally wanted to fight hard looked at Li Zhengbao's flag in panic, and watched Li Zhengbao's flag slowly move.

Generals are brave enough to win the lives of generals, so why should soldiers resist them?

Under such circumstances, Liang Jun's final will to resist was finally about to collapse.

Fortunately, God helped Li Daozhen. Just three or four miles away, Liang Luoren's cavalry slowly gathered, an army appeared on the horizon in the southwest, and the army with the flag of the Dingyuan army appeared in sight.

The Turkic cavalry who were originally planning to encircle Li Daozhen rode on horseback. They stood high and looked far away. The "Dingyuan Army" was actually the Dingyuan Army. These Turkic people were shocked to death.

The "Dingyuan Army" is nothing to the Tang people. For the Liang army or the Turks, it is simply a demon rushing out of hell.

Chen Ying led the Dingyuan Army to defeat more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry led by Liang Shidu with the strength of a mere Zhechong Mansion. Even Liang Shidu almost became Chen Ying's prisoner. Not to mention that they are defeated three times in a row now, even with a rainbow of morale, they will be urinating in the face of Dingyuan Army.

As for the Turks, it was even more unbearable.

The Turks suffered much more in the hands of the Dingyuan Army than the Liang army. When they proposed the Dingyuan Army, they were full of blood and tears. When the Turks saw the Dingyuan Army's military flag, they did not say hello. Taking advantage of the fact that the Dingyuan Army's soldiers had not arrived at the battlefield, they quickly blew away their feet.

At this time, the Liang army soldiers had completely accepted their fate. Some of them knelt on the ground, and some were lying in the snow, leaving their will. Li Dingbao watched as the six or seven thousand people were defeated by more than one hundred cavalrymen, and these soldiers were frightened and fled.

Li Zhengbao murmured: "Is this the sheep driving?"

As the General of the Army General Li Zhengbao thought more than ordinary soldiers. Liang Luoren led these 10,000 troops, in fact, it was only one quarter of the more than 30,000 troops in Liang State. Now that one quarter of the troops in Liang State are broken here, what opportunities does the Liang Division have?

Chen Ying killed more than 1,500 troops in Liang Shidu and abandoned his armor with just over 1,500 troops. Now a female general, no, this is not a general, but a nobleman. The woman was surrounded by her entourage, but she cut off Liang Luoren and defeated the Liang army three formations in a row. If Liang Luoren was careless, she did not underestimate the enemy at all, but ended up like this?

Is there any chance that Master Liang has to fight for the world?

The battlefield slowly calmed down, but Li Zhengbao did not escape. He knew that he would not let him go if he fled back to Liang State, but after surrendering to Tang State, with Liang State's temper, he would never let his parents, wife and children go.

Thinking of this, Li Zhengbao picked up the horizontal knife and crossed it around his neck, ready to break it.

It’s not that Li Zhengbao is so loyal to Liang Shidu, but that he uses his own life to exchange a way out for his parents, wife and children.

More than a dozen personal guards did not persuade them anymore. They knelt down on one knee, with tears in their eyes, shouted loudly, then pulled out their weapons and protected Li Zhengbao, vowing to stop Li Daozhen for a moment, and to let Li Zhengbao go on the road with peace of mind.

At this moment, Li Daozhen came from afar, but she admired Li Zhengbao very much. This was a general with some means, and Li Daozhen had no one under him. Li Xiuning also had generals such as Ma Sanbao, Qiu Shili, Bai Shansi, and He Panren. Especially Li Zhengbao was defeated and did not beg for surrender, but was determined to die.

Such subordinates have loyal ministers and righteousness, ethics and principles, which is a good target to win over.

Li Daozhen said coldly: "If you dare to die, I will kill all these prisoners!"

...

Li Zhengbao sighed, but when he saw these so-called Dingyuan reinforcements, he was so angry that his nose was crooked, because this was not the Dingyuan army at all. Even though he had not fought with the Dingyuan army, he knew that the Dingyuan army was well-trained and well-equipped, and they were all heroes who could defeat ten. However, the army in front of him was old, sick, and disabled, although there were more than 2,000 people, and many women and children were involved in the count.

The so-called Dingyuan Army General Flag has a line of small characters under it.

The first Zhechongfu Regiment of Dingyuan Army was the first team of the Fifth Brigade of the 4th Regiment of Dingyuan Army.

Li Zhengbao was so angry that he wanted to curse, whose team had a general flag? In the Tang army, only the lieutenant or above had a general flag, and the generals at the Zhechong Duwei were given a general flag. Although the Liang army had an official system like the Tang Dynasty, it was not heard that a team with a number of 50 people had a general flag.

In fact, this is exactly what Ma Laoliu is smart about.

Li Daozhen is the sister of Li Daozong, the head of the Lingzhou general manager, and he has to save Li Daozhen. However, with the more than a thousand township warriors from the First Come Town Fort, they threw them into the battlefield of tens of thousands of enemies. It was useless to add a piece of corpse. Ma Laoliu took advantage of the reputation of the Dingyuan army and loaded the Liang army soldiers such as Li Zhengbao into it.

...

Chen Ying was promoted again. After Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying fought against the carriage, Li Jiancheng asked Li Yuan to ask Li Yuan. After Li Yuan's approval, Chen Ying appointed Chen Ying as the guest of the prince and the left guard of the prince. Chen Ying held the seal of the prince's guest, which means that Chen Ying had become a third-rank official in the court at the age of twentieth.

No one would object to the fact that Chen Ying was the left guard of the East Palace, and he would probably not have any objection. However, the prince's guest participated in politics, but this official position was very different. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han, four people were old and regretted, and fled to the mountains. They were righteous and did not become Han officials. They were called the Four Elders (Dongyuan Gong, Qiliji, Xia Huang Gong, and Mr. Jiaoli). Emperor Gaozu could not accept the deposed prince. When the prince was about to be deposed, the prince came out to welcome the four people, and served the prince with white hair and white eyebrows and very tall clothes. When Emperor Gao saw him, he said, "Don't be bothered to protect the prince. The prince did not abolish it. Emperor Xiaowu also established Bowangyuan for the prince to communicate with guests."

This is the origin of the prince's guests. Of course, the prince's guests are the third rank. They are in charge of attendants and counseling, praise the etiquette of the emperor, and the banquet is superior. However, generally speaking, the prince's guests are part-time jobs, which is equivalent to honor, equivalent to the prince's adviser, and the left guard is Chen Ying's actual job. If the Eastern Palace is compared to the court, Chen Ying is now equivalent to the Minister of National Defense in the small court of the Eastern Palace.
