Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 112 The Great Victory
"Fire arrows!"

Su Dingfang yelled, clamped his legs, accelerated suddenly, and the horse under his crotch shot out like a sharp arrow.

Guo Pu and others set up their bows and fired arrows, and shot down several soldiers who had found the enemy near the gate of the camp.

With a loud shout, Su Dingfang, who was advancing alone, picked up the horse in his hand, and forcibly picked up the blocking horse that the enemy soldiers had just moved.

It's just that the decorated camp gate was wide open without any obstacles, and three hundred cavalrymen entered the camp smoothly with torches in hand.

It is very risky for [-] cavalry to attack an enemy army at least five times their own at night, even at such a late night. In fact, regardless of whether there is a large amount of food and grass in the enemy camp, setting fire to the camp is the only option.

At this moment, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Dong Kang, who was fast asleep, was still dreaming sweet dreams with his concubine in his arms. He was the first general to follow Dou Jiande, and he was highly regarded. The batch of people is also highly valued.

After the Luoshui war at the beginning of the year, Dong Kang did not go north to the Turks, but hid... Naturally, his savings for many years and more than a dozen wives and concubines were gone.

However, Liu Heita soon killed him back, and within a few months, Dong Kang took three more concubines.

"General, general."

"Huh?" Dong Kang, who was woken up by the concubine's shoving, barely opened his sleepy eyes, and was about to reprimand him impatiently, but then there was a wild cry that exploded in his ears.

"General, general, you're out of the water!" the guards exclaimed from outside.

When Dong Kang put on his clothes and rushed out of the camp with a long knife in his hand, he felt like falling into an ice cave at the first moment.

He was horrified to see the raging flames on the bank of the Qinghe River on the south side, which was the warehouse for storing grain and grass, which was supposed to be shipped to Luozhou the day after tomorrow.

"Fire, go to the fire..."

Dong Kang's shouting stopped abruptly, and several torches were thrown from nowhere, and the surrounding tents were set ablaze.

A cold arrow passed Dong Kang's cheek, bringing up a few strands of blood, and it was nailed to the camp tent.

Now, Dong Kang can no longer care about the burning of food and grass.

Dong Kang looked sideways, and several knights calmly bent their bows and set arrows, shooting down the soldiers rushing out of the camp.

Afterwards, hundreds of cavalry appeared in Dong Kang's sight. They shouted loudly, set fire to the tents, and drove the soldiers who hurried out of the tents to the rear of the camp.

Of course Dong Kang knew what the other party wanted to do. He wanted to completely disrupt the camp, cause chaos in the army, and trample each other... However, this also showed that the number of enemy troops attacking was not large.

Under the hot and bright firelight, Dong Kang grabbed a long knife, shouted loudly and gathered his guards, he may not be defeated, he may not be defeated!
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a shrill and familiar scream sounded not far away. Dong Kang looked intently, and saw a tall and majestic knight holding a lance, and stepped forward. across the chests of several soldiers.

"Push back, drive the defeated soldiers back!"

"Don't worry about the left side, follow me, if there are soldiers gathering, shout out!"

The majestic knight lifted his mask and commanded loudly. The flames on the burning tent fluttered with the wind, reflecting the knight's face.

"Su Dingfang, it's Su Dingfang..."

"How could it be Su Dingfang?!"

Dong Kang watched in astonishment as Su Dingfang brandished his horse and drove the soldiers to the rear, galloping back and forth, without a single enemy in the formation.

As a general of the Xia army, Dong Kang naturally recognized Su Dingfang, the son of the former Zuo servant She Gaoyaxian.

"General, general..." The concubine's cry sounded behind her.

Seemingly hearing a woman's voice, Su Dingfang suddenly turned his head, held the lance with one hand, and pointed the lance straight at Dong Kang.

Without even the slightest hesitation, Dong Kang immediately fled to the back of the camp. He is a man of self-knowledge. Although Su Dingfang is not very experienced and is not valued by Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai, he is a rare brave general in Hebei. adversary.

But the problem is that Dong Kang, the chief general, fled, and a dozen personal guards also fled.

As a result, countless soldiers who had just rushed out of the camp and were gradually gathering towards Dong Kang... also followed behind Dong Kang without hesitation.

No one tried to stop Tang Jun from slashing and killing, and no one tried to stop Tang Jun from setting fire to the camp.

Dong Kang's escape... is equivalent to a woman's clothes and pants being stripped. Before the man can do anything, she throws the last thing in a chic way. Come on!

The fire spread rapidly in the camp, and the howling and screaming sounded continuously. The Tang army set the fire unscrupulously, slashed and killed.

Every step of the Tang army was carried out under the command of Su Dingfang, from entering the enemy camp, to taking the lead in setting fire to the granary, and then leading the army to raid the camp of the Chinese army, and to disperse the soldiers who had not yet gathered around Fan Yuan.

Su Dingfang, the leader of the army, followed Fan Yuan unhurriedly, firing arrows from time to time, and after charging, uncontrollable chaos spread to the entire camp.

At this time, you can see Su Dingfang's appearance as a famous general. In such a chaotic battle situation, he can still play micromanagement.

Su Dingfang led a hundred cavalry in person, drove them away with horses, set up a bow and fired arrows, or personally dispersed a small group of enemy troops, allowing the fleeing soldiers to disrupt the rear of the camp. Raid.

Dong Kang gritted his teeth and stared at the familiar figure in the distance, grabbed a war horse and rode on it, and shouted loudly with a long knife in his hand: "Don't be confused, those with spears go forward, and the rest go..."

Before he finished speaking, under the bright flames, a faint shadow that seemed to exist pierced the sky.

The next moment, a long arrow suddenly appeared in the chest of the general Dong Kang, who was once relied on by Dou Jiande and Liu Heita, and his body swayed so that the surrounding soldiers could see clearly before falling down.

Li Shan, who was far away on the hill outside the camp, could faintly hear the bang. The rear of the camp was completely disorganized. Several generals who tried to stand up and rectify were either killed by Su Dingfang's sharp arrows, or pulled away by soldiers eager to escape. dismount.

The death of Dong Kang made the soldiers who were still preparing to resist no longer have the will to fight, and the large number of soldiers who fled noisily also completely collapsed the array that had begun to gather in the rear of the camp.

A large number of soldiers fled to the east, and the long knives in their hands no longer swung at the enemy, but slashed at any companion who dared to stop him.

At this time, Liu Jun, who was going around, was leading more than a hundred Tang cavalry to attack from the right.

Almost disregarding his crazy horse speed, the sharp steel knife in his hand, the shiny horse spear, and the hideous face flashing past in the dark firelight.

"It's Tang Jun, it's Tang Jun coming!"

Fleeing became the only option for the enemy soldiers.

Shouts of fear, thunderous hoofbeats,
All this collapsed the hundreds of enemy troops who were still trying to escape in a group. More than a hundred Tang cavalry pierced through the enemy's formation effortlessly, circled around and charged again.

Liu Jun's mouth was already broken, so he simply threw away Ma Qiang, pulled out the scimitar that Li Shan gave him, and hacked around.

Now, the fate of those soldiers is a bit miserable.

On the hill to the east of the camp, Li Shan could vaguely see through the light of the fire that the soldiers who were forced to flee frantically by the cavalry rushed into the blazing fire. Forced to simply jump into the bitingly cold Qinghe water.

This is the ancient battlefield, the ancient battlefield where countless human lives are regarded as worthless... Li Shan said silently in his heart, there is no right or wrong, only life and death.

Half an hour later, Li Shan rode a white horse into the camp accompanied by five attendants, and smelled a strange smell from a distance, as if some kind of meat was roasted...or was it burnt?
"I just asked the prisoner, and this person is Dong Kang, the general under Liu Heita." Liu Jun pointed to a corpse, "It seems that Liu Heita's army is really short of food and grass, otherwise Dong Kang would not be allowed to supervise the food and grass. "

Li Shan glanced at it and ignored it, only asking about the casualties.

Su Dingfang said softly: "Zhu Shishitou took people to burn the granary, only three or four people were injured."

Accompanying them all the way, Su Dingfang had already made it clear that Guo Pu and the other five were generals of the Danyang family of the Li family in Longxi, and Zhu Ba, Zhu Shitou, Zhao Da and others were Li Shan's disciples.

"Nearly 20 people died in battle." Liu Jun cut off Dong Kang's head with a long knife.

Liu Jun led more than 20 riders to escape from Xiabo, all the way south into Beizhou. When he was rescued by Li Shan, there were only more than [-] riders left. Now nearly [-] people died in battle, but this time the price is extremely high.

In fact, there were not so many casualties in the first place. Su Dingfang's command was impeccable, and his personal force and deployment of troops were perfect.

However, the Tang army led by Liu Jun was full of resentment, and the accumulated emotions needed a violent vent. After the enemy army had already fled and collapsed, they insisted on killing them all, so there were more casualties.

But no matter what, the three hundred cavalry raided five times the enemy's army, defeated them, beheaded the general Dong Kang, and burned all the food and grass. This was a big victory and a perfect night attack.

There were almost no prisoners. They either fled to the east along the Qinghe River, or fell into the fire pit and were burned by the fire, or jumped into the Qinghe River... With such a temperature, it is almost impossible to survive.

Those who kneeled and surrendered... were cut down one by one by Liu Jun's Tang soldiers, and their heads were cut off.

Li Shan came with the army this time, without any weapons, only some medicine and cloth, and immediately bandaged the wounded with medicine.

With the work in hand, Li Shan focused on dual purposes, thinking about the impact of this battle, there should be no problems if he continued to go south, right?
He wanted to stand up and make a promise, but Li Shan himself was a little scared...it's better to shut up.

Although it was an accident several times, and it had nothing to do with Li Shan... But Zhou Zhao and Ling Bo always ridiculed me for this matter, it's really uncomfortable.

Guo Pu, who was interrogating the captive just now, suddenly rushed over, "Mr. Lang, the rebel army still has hundreds of soldiers in Wucheng."

"Wucheng?" Li Shan asked strangely: "It's in the north of Liting..."

Fan Laosan walked over with a sullen face, "Fan Shishi is imprisoned in Wucheng."

Li Shan was taken aback, what do you mean?
But the next moment, Li Shan keenly noticed that Fan Laosan's expression was not right, and the faces of several Tang soldiers around him also had complex expressions, with expectations and doubts.

"Do not abandon, do not give up!"

Li Shan stood up and repeated: "Don't abandon, don't give up!"

Seeing that Fan Laosan's expression softened, Li Shan beckoned to Su Dingfang, "There are still hundreds of cavalry in Wucheng, if I wait to go south, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the pursuit."

Su Dingfang was calm, and only asked: "Brother Li means..."

"That prisoner...kang what?"

"Kangding."

"Yes, Kangding, are you honest?" Li Shan coughed twice, "Let him take a few prisoners and trick him into opening the city gate in the name of the camp being attacked and the food and grass being burned..."

Seeing Su Dingfang's hesitation, Li Shan leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Fan Shishi is being imprisoned in Wucheng."

Su Dingfang took two steps back, glanced at Fan Laosan out of the corner of his eye, cupped his hands and said, "All are assigned by Brother Li."

Li Shan was a little worried, "Is it feasible?"

"The camp was attacked, so report it urgently. As long as you trick the city gate into opening, it should go well."

Su Dingfang's execution was strong enough, and he quickly gathered cavalry and headed north, but left all the thirty young men in Zhujiagou to Li Shan.

Li Shan watched the cavalry disappear into the darkness, and sighed faintly: "Zhu Ba, tell me... am I being too generous with Su Dingfang?"

Zhu Ba rubbed his head, "Mr. Lang has eyesight, Mr. Su's family is indeed amazing, and Uncle Guo is also full of praise."

Unlike Fan Laosan, Guo Pu was the general of the Li family in Longxi and the leader of Li Keshi's personal guard. He had seen many wars and was quite knowledgeable.

In the previous battles, it could be said that Su Dingfang's superior force played a major role, but today's night attack, Su Dingfang's perfect performance made Guo Pu amazed.

Li Shan sighed again, since they met that day, the importance he attaches to Su Dingfang...everyone can see it.

Not only did Zhenxiang suddenly rescue Su's mother, not only did Su Dingfang take the old and weak women and children to slow down the speed, Su Dingfang decided which way to go, even several attacks were made by Su Dingfang.

Li Shan's emphasis on Su Dingfang came largely from the records in the history books. He was a famous general who destroyed the Three Kingdoms... But for Fan Laosan, the sharp fighters of the Tang army, they didn't understand.

In the eyes of Fan Laosan and the others, Su Dingfang is considered to be a master of martial arts, but after all, he was once a general under the command of Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai.

Along the way, the contradiction between Fan Laosan and Su Dingfang has long been revealed, but Li Shan forcibly suppressed it, but if Li Shan refuses to send troops to rescue Fan Shiyi this time... I am afraid that this small team will fall apart up.

After all, there were only a dozen or so soldiers in Fan Laosan before, but now there are more than 200 soldiers in the Tang Army...it is hard to avoid trouble.

However, Li Shan is just pushing the boat along the way.

In her previous life, a rural child who was raised by her grandparents went step by step from the village-run primary school to the town middle school, then to the county middle school, and finally entered a key university.

Live desperately, study hard, spend countless energy and thoughts, in order to stay in the famous third-level hospital in Shanghai.

Can such a person be judged as having no ambition?
Coming to this era, Li Shan's first thought was to leave his name in history and to live out his splendor here.

Ambition has always been buried in this man's heart.

This attack, on the one hand, is to solve the current predicament, but on the other hand, it is also a means for Li Shan to increase his weight.

Since he wanted more weight, after a successful night attack, a sneak attack on Wucheng was not an unacceptable choice.

On the still pitch-black plain, Li Shan led the horse forward slowly, wondering what this night attack could bring him.
Xingzhou has fallen, and Qi Shanxing, who used to be Dou Jiande's general, did not surrender, but led his troops to retreat south to Luozhou.

But the head of Luozhou is Li Yuan, king of Lujiang County, who is a direct descendant of the Eastern Palace, will he lead the army to defend?
It has been two days since Li Daoxuan was defeated, and the battle report will be sent to Beijing soon. When will Prince Li Jiancheng choose to invite his own troops to go out?
