Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 109
In ancient battlefields, there were no telescopes, and to check the military situation, one could only climb high and look far away. It took more than a quarter of an hour for more than ten people to find a place where they could overlook the battlefield.

Li Shan was thinking that he must get a telescope out when he turned around, and asked, "Can you see clearly?"

"It's the Tang army." Su Dingfang said decisively: "Two or three hundred cavalry, the other side... has no Turkic soldiers, it should be under the command of the King of Eastern Han, and there are about two or three hundred cavalry."

Fan Laosan licked his dry lips, "Lang Jun?"

This fellow has learned to be good, and no longer makes his own decisions. Li Shan thought about it before asking: "How about the outcome?"

"Tang Jun lost." Su Dingfang had good eyesight.

Li Shan hesitated for a while. It was an easy choice not to save. There are only a hundred young and strong in the valley, and there are no more than 50 good cavalry charging. It may not be possible to win if you give a helping hand, maybe you will. Drag yourself into the water.

Moreover, Su Dingfang's mother, adoptive mother, and those children were all behind him. Li Shan felt that even if he wanted to help, Su Dingfang would refuse.

But the next moment, Su Dingfang turned around and ordered, "Count the number of people and prepare to attack."

Zhou Zhao and Guo Pu were stunned, but Uncle Ling snorted and looked at Li Shan, "Thank you, Tang Jun and the pursuers are going south. If you don't investigate, how can you rest assured... If it's Dezhou..."

Speaking of this, Ling Bo sneered twice, "It's really frightening to have a clever plan."

Li Shan could understand this sentence. There is war in the north, and it may not be safe to go the way of Texas... I just predicted a wave, maybe Texas has fallen.

It's fine if other people say it casually, but Li Shan's prophecy in the past two days... obviously stunned an old fox like Ling Bo.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to ascertain the external situation, save this Tang army, maybe capture a few prisoners, ascertain the situation, and then choose the most suitable path.

However, Li Shan is still very dissatisfied. The chasing troops go south, and Dezhou may fall... Could it be that I did it?
What is thanks to me!
Total nonsense!
The dark-faced Li Shan looked down speechlessly, and there was a not-so-wide mountain road under the steep cliff.

"Lang Jun, be careful." Zhu Ba pulled Li Shan.

"It must be as high as a ten-storey building." Li Shan murmured to himself.

Over there, Su Dingfang had already made arrangements. He only led his headquarters and the three troops of Guo Pu and Fan Lao to attack. Zhujiagou was young and strong and not good at horse fighting, so he didn't take it with him.

"Zhu Ba." Li Shan whispered, "Bring everyone here."

"Brother Su, please listen to something."

……

Li Shan has always compared riding a horse to driving a car. His riding skills probably belong to the rhythm of being reprimanded by his coach. After all, he would stop the fire from time to time, and even leaned out of the window and jumped down desperately.

Guo Pu and Fan Laosan are probably old drivers, juggling on horseback, playing Thomas full spin is pediatrics... This is what Li Shan saw with his own eyes.

But today Li Shan has seen the level of a professional racing driver.

Different from yesterday's perfectly choosing the timing of the attack and the way of ambush, Su Dingfang stepped forward slowly while holding the horse's lance, and the opponent was not stupid, and immediately sent dozens of riders over.

But when the two sides began to speed up and prepare to charge, Su Dingfang lifted the reins, and the horse under his crotch turned like flowing water, circled an arc, and entered the enemy's formation from the side.

Standing on the cliff, Li Shan was amazed. Seeing Su Dingfang rushing into the enemy's formation, there was a commotion immediately. The man didn't even bother to use his horse, and he swung left and right with a long knife in his hand. The formation suddenly became chaotic.

Su Dingfang dared to enter the battle alone. On the one hand, he was backed by powerful force, and on the other hand, it was because Li Shan lent him the Mingguang Armor.

This Mingguang armor was a gift from Li Kai. It is extremely fine, and even thousands of troops can gallop in it. For example, Li Daoxuan was shot as a hedgehog in the battle of Tiger Prison, which is enough to prove the strong defensive power of the armor.

There was a fierce man in the formation who was killing and killing, and dozens of cavalry were approaching. Guo Pu and others held a big bow and shot down the enemy cavalry with a few arrows. The enemy finally couldn't bear it and scattered to avoid it.

"General, we have reinforcements!"

The hoarse roar lifted Liu Jun's spirits, and he wiped the blood on his face. He turned his head and saw that there were only dozens of reinforcements coming from the side, and their clothes were chaotic. Only a dozen of them were wearing Tang army uniforms.

Since Xiabo City was defeated in the north, Liu Jun led hundreds of cavalry and fled to the east. After taking in the deserters, he knew the truth of the defeat that day, and tried to go south in frustration. There was no one to help him wherever he went, and almost all the cities were surrendered. On Liu Heita's side, even the village refused to accept Liu Jun's clothes.

Today, I saw reinforcements not far from the hometown of Dou Jiande and Liu Heita... although there were only dozens of horses.

The dozens of cavalry that were separated were defeated without any suspense, and the enemy army also gathered together, allowing Liu Jun to lead the army to join Su Dingfang.

"Liu Hujun!" Fan Laosan urged the horse to come and shouted: "Where is Your Highness?"

Liu Jun's face was ashen, and he shook his head in pain.

"Go, go!" Su Dingfang yelled: "Old Fan, you lead the way and go to Feilong Gorge."

Li Shan on the cliff squinted his eyes and looked carefully. Su Dingfang led dozens of cavalry to lead the formation, and Fan Laosan took the lead and led the Tang army towards this side.

Seeing the enemy army slowly approaching, Su Dingfang turned his horse's head to meet the enemy head-on, put down his horse spear, held a big bow in his hand, and shot arrows continuously, only to hear a few screams.

It would be foolish to retreat under a superior force. The enemy rushed towards him without any surprises. Su Dingfang unhurriedly fired a few more arrows before urging his horse to retreat.

"No ambushes?"

After passing the Feilong Gorge, Liu Jun couldn't help asking, "What about the pursuers?"

At this moment, there was a shrill scream from behind. Liu Jun looked back and saw countless black spots falling from the sky, and the enemy troops passing through Feilong Gorge were in chaos.

Su Dingfang pulled the reins and stopped his horse. Looking back, the enemy's front line was just a riot, and the screams came from the middle and rear.

It's just a small pebble, but it has such power?

Su Dingfang looked up suspiciously, and saw Li Shan standing against the wind on the cliff.

These days, Su Dingfang is also observing Li Shan. In his opinion, this young man has a lot of talent and learning, is good at medical skills, has a deep chest, has a strategy, and is also good at analyzing the battle situation.

Although Ling Bo, Zhang Xuansu, and Zhou Zhao hated Li Shan's crow's mouth, Su Dingfang knew that Li Shan's analysis was still very reasonable, and every judgment was also reasonable...just not very lucky.

However, Su Dingfang also discovered that Li Shan was not good at fighting, so he had his own plans for this battle, and did not pin his hopes on the stones Li Shan said.

But I didn't expect that these stones could easily disrupt the enemy's pursuit.

Standing on the cliff, Li Shan seemed to be calm, but in fact he was anxious, but he was relieved when he faintly saw those unlucky ghosts with their heads bleeding, heard those shrill screams, and even the wailing of war horses.

In his previous life, when he first arrived at the orthopedics department, Li Shan once saw a patient... who was hit by a mahjong dropped by a resident on the eighth floor, and his collarbone was broken.

In fact, in the previous life, throwing objects from heights had been criminalized in the criminal law, and throwing an ordinary egg from the 25th floor was enough to kill an adult.

According to Li Shan's approximate estimate, this cliff is at least seventeen or eighteen stories high. There is no need to throw any big stones. The threat of gravel is greater and the price is more cost-effective.

Therefore, Li Shan asked Zhu Ba to call all the people and move all the gravel that could be found on the cliff.

The reason why I am a little worried is that I am afraid that there are not enough stones, the coverage is not wide enough, and the lethality caused to the enemy is not strong enough.

Fortunately, the canyon is relatively narrow, and the coverage of stones is not bad. The rear half of the enemy army is almost disabled... Who would have imagined that a small gravel could have such power.

Li Shan looked carefully, the dozens of riders in front had to face the sharp arrows of Su Dingfang and Guo Pu, and the retreat had to face the gravel falling from the sky.

Descending from the side of the mountain, I took a detour into Feilong Gorge, and I could smell a strong smell of blood as soon as I entered. Li Shan didn't care. Although Zhu Ba and Shitou behind him had fought in battle, they couldn't help but vomit.

"Tendons are broken, even the horses..." A strange expression appeared on Su Dingfang's face, "About dozens of horses escaped."

"Check it out, find a few with minor injuries and take them back for trial."

"No, there are a few prisoners."

"That's good." Li Shan responded with a few words casually, glanced at him a few times, "It's a pity..."

"what?"

"It's a waste." Li Shan really felt that it was a waste. When he was an intern, he waited for patients every day, with so many materials in front of him...

Time was running out, so they didn't clean up the battlefield anymore. They only sent people to take away the few uninjured horses, and everyone went back to the valley.

"Really defeated?"

As soon as he sat down, Zhou Zhao couldn't help asking this question, and Liu Jun nodded silently.

"No need to talk nonsense." Li Shan pushed Zhou Zhao away and sat down. "How is the outside situation?"

"I don't know." Liu Jun said wearily: "Since Xiabo went south, Hengshui, Xindu, and Nangong have all changed their banners, and even small towns have raised their troops to resist. I don't know Beizhou..."

"General Manager Beizhou led his troops to the north and was defeated in Jingcheng. Xu Shanhu was defeated and died."

"No wonder..." Liu Jun nodded and said, "Zhangnan has already fallen."

Li Shan frowned, "Did you not be chased all the way by the pursuers, but you met the enemy in Zhangnan?"

"Well, the old city on the north side of Zhangnan encountered enemies and fled all the way south. There were originally about 500 brothers, but now there are only more than 200 left..."

Ling Bo also heard the question, "Were you not pursued in Jizhou?"

"No." Liu Jun sighed, "Liu Heita must go west to attack Xingzhou."

Zhou Zhao's face was quite happy, "That is to say, Liu Heita has not yet attacked Dezhou eastward!"

This means that the route proposed by Li Shan before is feasible, go east to Dezhou, and then go south to Weizhou through Bozhou.

As long as you get to Bozhou or Weizhou, everything will be easy to handle. If you can't, just cross the Yellow River and go to Shandong Road. Liu Heita can still fly there?
But the next moment, Zhou Zhao stared at Li Shan who was frowning, and then turned his head to see that Su Dingfang and Ling Bo were also frowning.

Li Shan forced a smile, "Uncle Ling is really clever."

Ling Bo's face darkened, "Let's set off immediately."

"No." Su Dingfang said with a sullen face: "Walking at night, it is difficult to walk without holding fire, holding fire...that is the target."
