Chapter 183 Jinyang
Li Jiancheng's tone and expression undoubtedly showed great contempt for them, which was very different from Wang Xuba's impression of the humble and kind Li Langjun. However, he couldn't help but feel that such a Langjun was worthy of ruling the world.

Wang Xuba kowtowed several times and said, "Sir, I will never have any second thoughts. I will definitely help you to kill Wei Dao'er."

"Go ahead, you will have your own wealth in the future."

Qin Shubao looked at his husband with fiery eyes. As soon as he saw him this time, he found that his husband had changed. His unconcealed will to conquer the world and become the master of the country was burning vigorously.

These people are like moths to a flame, helping you to reach the top of the world!

After Wang Xuba left, Zhang Huli sneered, "What do you mean by 40,000 or 60,000 combat-ready soldiers? If there were such elite soldiers, they would have swept troops from several counties and entered Chang'an long ago. How come they haven't taken Taiyuan County in two years?"

Most of the rebels defeated by Zhang Xutuo in recent years were people like Wei Daoer, each of whom had more than 100,000 men. However, they were all defeated with a single blow in front of Zhang Xutuo's 20,000 elite soldiers.

The three mounted their horses and returned to the army. In fact, except for six or seven hundred elite cavalrymen from Liaodong City, the rest of their soldiers were still a motley crowd. But after all, they were young and strong rangers who had voluntarily followed them. Their morale was good, and as long as they could fight two battles and survive, they could be considered elite.

These people were trained by Zhang Huli, and Qin Shubao was not as good as him in this aspect. As for martial arts, Qin Shubao was superior in terms of lance combat on horseback or dismounted combat, but when it came to horseback archery, Zhang Huli was slightly better.

A few days later, Li Jiancheng led his elite cavalry back and selected those who had killed people and seen blood and could ride horses from among the more than 3,000 young and strong rangers to fill the gap of more than 300 people, making a total of 1,000 cavalry.

The most elite hundred cavalrymen were equipped with a full set of human armor and horse armor as cone heads, and the other nine hundred cavalrymen were only knights wearing light armor. With so many thousand cavalrymen, they would surely be able to crush a group of rabble-rousing rear troops with ease!
At this time in Jinyang City, Wang Tian said to the exhausted Pan Changwen: "General, if not for yourself, you must also do it for the people in the city. You must not hesitate any longer.

Your Majesty has been indulging in wine and sex in Jiangdu, and has long since abandoned the people of the world. Wei Daoer and his ilk are rioters, tyrannical and murderous. If the entire territory of Taiyuan falls into their hands, what a tragic situation it would be."

Pan Changwen sighed and said, "Then I will follow your words, Lord Wang. I hope Lord Li will not go back on his word."

Wang Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of person is Li Langjun? His loyalty and virtue are known to the world. Moreover, didn't the general serve under Langjun during the siege of Yanmen in the past and work together to rescue the king?"

Speaking of the Siege of Yanmen, the guilt on Pan Changwen's face dissipated a little. They were loyal to the emperor and did not avoid the Turkic army. They fought hard all the way to break into the county city.

As a result, His Majesty actually gave the general to the Turks, and these people were deeply ashamed of it.

On that day, Wang Xuba led his troops to attack the city. After failing to capture it after a day's attack, he called back his troops, met with Wei Daoer to discuss matters, and then said goodbye and left as usual.

After he left, Wei Daoer said to the people around him in person: "Once we take Jinyang, we will kill this guy and annex his troops. Humph, bullshit Mantian King, I haven't even become a king or an emperor yet."

The second day was also a failure, but this time they climbed to the top of the city wall and fought back and forth several times. It was obvious that Jinyang City had reached its limit.

Seeing this, Wei Daoer hurriedly asked him to attack, but was rejected by Wang Xuba. Seeing that they were about to occupy the whole of Taiyuan, Wei Daoer did not want the civil war to give Pan Changwen a chance to catch his breath, so he endured it.

Late at night, Wang Xuba called all his confidants to come, and first talked about the difficulties of the past few years, and then began to scold Wei Daoer for being too ambitious, ignoring the friendship of raising troops together, and wanting to take away his military power. His subordinates were naturally filled with righteous indignation, and said all kinds of things. Finally, Wang Xuba slammed the table and said: "Tomorrow we will break into the city, and then close the city gates. I have sent people to contact Wagang Pushan Gong..."

The next day, they attacked the city as usual and finally broke through the city gate at noon. Wang Xuba immediately led his troops in and also sent someone to inform Wei Daoer that he would invite the boss into the city after clearing out the remaining troops inside.

Wei Daoer sneered, drew his sword and killed the messenger, then ordered: "Kill all those with swords inside. Whoever takes down Wang Xu's head will be rewarded handsomely by this general. If you capture Jinyang, you won't be able to put down your sword for three days!"

The soldiers and horses who had been coveting Wang Xuba's subordinates for a chance to eat the first meal immediately rushed towards the open city gate with red eyes and howling. Money, food, mansions, and women, they could have whatever they wanted!
Wang Xuba, who entered the city, immediately ordered his confidants to kill the traitors, and then ordered the soldiers who were still able to obey orders to continue moving forward, leaving a gap for Wei Daoer's troops to enter the city.

Wang Xuba had to admit at this time that they were indeed a mob. Almost half of his men had scattered like wild horses, rushing towards the tall gates and courtyards in the city, only caring about looting.

But he also knew that the same was true for Wei Daoer's troops, so he was not worried about the reduction in troop strength. He no longer concealed anything at this time and immediately told the truth to his confidants.

Some people agreed and some did not understand, but at this time they had no choice. Wei Daoer's troops had already attacked their rear army, and they had to fight back if they did not want to die.

Half of Wei Dao'er's men had already rushed into Jinyang City, and the rest were crowding at the city gate, shouting and yelling, fearing that if they entered too late they would not even be able to get a little soup.

In the distance, Li Jiancheng's thousand cavalrymen rode slowly towards the city, looking coldly at the bandits who were swarming around the city gate. As the rear army, they didn't even have the most basic defensive formation.

Zhang Huli and Qin Shubao put on their armor and slowly urged their armored horses. The other ninety-eight riders followed. They were armored cavalry, so their speed was definitely not as fast as light cavalry, and they needed time to increase their speed.

After they charged for a distance, the nine hundred light cavalry took action and quickly chased to the two sides of the heavy cavalry, forming an extremely sharp cone-shaped charge. The sound of horse hooves also startled Wei Daoer's rear army.

But they had no intention of forming a formation to resist. Instead, they reacted extremely quickly and quickly opened the city gate and ran towards the open spaces on both sides. They knew very well how to survive.

More and more people reacted and fled. No one restrained them and no one resisted. They all just hated themselves for not having two more legs.

But there was nothing that could be done for those who were blocked in the middle of the city gate. There were people in front of them and behind them. They could neither move forward nor backward and could only push and shove madly.

Before approaching, the light cavalry took bows from their backs and rode forward to shoot. A dense rain of arrows fell on the bandits who had no time to escape, making the already panicked bandits even more frightened.

This is so unfair to them, this is not the opponent they should face.
