Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 853
September [-]th.

Among the thousands of troops, the flags were flying, and the first thing they heard was the thunderous drums. The battlefield that was fighting was quiet for a moment, and everyone looked south.

The first thing that appeared in sight were two long dragon-like cavalrymen. They charged out from the yellow sand in the air. The horseshoes held high were like dense forests, and the horseshoes wearing horseshoes hit the ground, making a shocking noise.

Then there appeared countless warriors in full armor. The dense array made their formation not strict, but at the same time it brought a strong oppressive force, like a mountain that was gradually approaching.

The Tang army on the battlefield was all excited and shouted loudly, while the Turks retreated slowly. Ashina Sheer on the hill looked coldly at the approaching main force of the Tang army, as if waiting for something.

Almost without any hesitation, the two Tang cavalry circled around the camp, with Wang Junhao and Hou Hongtao as the vanguard on the left and Feng Li and Duan Zhixuan as the vanguard on the right. The Turkic army withdrew.

The sound of fighting resounded across the battlefield again, and the scattered Turkic cavalry tried to flee in all directions, but the Tang cavalry who were caught up easily chopped off their horses one by one.

Tuli Khan personally led the army to meet the defeated army. The crowd vaguely saw another Tang cavalry catching up.

In several battles last year, every time Li Shan either took Su Dingfang as the vanguard, or personally led the army, rushed and fought fiercely, and directly attacked the Chinese army. However, this battlefield was too narrow for the Turkic cavalry, and it was difficult to gather and disperse. Fa, really hard to deal with.

However, this time Su Dingfang did not lead the army to charge, but held the formation behind, picked up the binoculars and waited and watched the battle situation. After a while, most of Ma Kuai's Turkic cavalry had rushed back to the headquarters, only a few cavalry were dispersed and were attacked by the Tang Dynasty. The encirclement and suppression of riding.

It was dusk at this moment, and under the setting sun, the Tang army returned to the camp triumphantly amid loud cheers, leaving nearly a thousand Turkic corpses on the battlefield.

Ashina She'er was not angry but happy, he chuckled a few times, feeling a little more confident in his heart, just seeing Li Huairen's first arrival on the battlefield, he sent the main force of cavalry to press him, and he knew what he wanted, so he couldn't wait.

Nearly a thousand casualties, Ashina Sheer didn't take it seriously, as long as he could defeat Li Huairen, or even cut off his head, everything would be worth it.

In the future, holding the head of King Handan of the Tang Dynasty and passing it on to the grasslands, the control of the Ashina clan and even the Turks will rise to a new level after several years of weakening. ?

Looking from a distance, Ashina Sheer frowned slightly, and after looking closely for a moment, the smile on his face became wider, and he said softly: "After all, you are young and have military achievements, so it should be so."

Amid Ashina Sheer's sneer, continuous shouts sounded from the Tang army's position in the distance. Liu Rengui, who had just returned, was covered in blood, staring blankly at a huge chariot being dragged by four tall horses. Down slowly and approach.

Although Liu Rengui was young, he had been in the army for several months, so he knew that this chariot was reserved for the general in the army, and it was usually used to climb high and observe the battle situation.

On the chariot, Li Shan, wearing soft armor, stands proudly, with deep eyes, overlooking the battlefield. Cavalry pawns, all armed with spears and armor, are majestic and majestic.

From Ashina Sheer's point of view, the meaning of Li Shan's posture is very clear, and he hardly pays attention to the Turks. Also, in the past two years, Li Shan has won all the battles against the Turks, so he is naturally arrogant. .

But Liu Rengui, who was full of meritorious deeds, was dazzled by the sight, and couldn't help murmuring, "A man should be like this, a man should be like this!"

This day's battle has come to an end. The Turkic cavalry retreated like a tide. They have actually invaded Jingzhou and firmly held the border between the two states. However, a few days ago, Qian Jiulong and Hu Yan led the Tang army Desperate resistance did not allow the Turks to go south in a large scale.

"Meet the King of Handan."

"Meet the King of Handan."

Li Shan got off the carriage, smiled and supported Qian Jiulong and Hu Yan, "Thanks to the courage of the two monarchs, the Turks were not allowed to go south."

Qian Jiulong's temperament was rather slippery, and he immediately replied: "If His Highness hadn't sent the Duke of Dai to help, he would hardly be able to defend."

Hu Yan, on the other hand, was a straightforward and stubborn person. He glanced at the chariot without saying a word, but there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes... Is it necessary to ride in a chariot if he is not in the car formation?

In the words of later generations, this pretense is all pretending to be Shabi!

Although they don't know Li Shan's specific plan, Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo both know that Li Shan is not a villain, so they don't care about these things, and just order the generals to lead the army to spread out and set up camp.

In fact, the battlefield is not wide. Although there are five armies stationed, the distance between them is not far, and they are all within the range visible to the naked eye.

When it comes to military affairs, Li Shan is not very good at it, so he entrusts it to generals such as Dou Gui and Su Dingfang... Li Shan is not going to study it either. He set up a camp in ancient times, which is a very professional subject.

As early as in Daizhou, Li Shan once had a mind to study ideology and asked Li Kai for advice... The Danyang house of the Li family in Longxi passed down the art of war to his family. Li Kai was influenced by his ears and ears since he was a child. Don't dare to boast.

Two or three days later, Li Shan gave up on this idea. It was too troublesome, too cumbersome, and there were too many things to consider. Not to mention dispatching troops, just choosing a location, you need to consider the terrain, wind direction, climate and water sources.

The storage, replenishment, and transportation of ordnance, the scope and time of scouting in batches, the rounds of meals for tens of thousands of troops, and even defecation and urination all need special personnel to be responsible.

Like Li Kai and Li Daoxuan, they started from elementary school, like Qian Jiulong and Su Dingfang, they started fighting from the bottom, but Li Shan took a completely different path from them.

During the First World War in Shandong, Li Shan acted as a counselor. After Li Gaoqian abandoned the army and fled, Li Shan fully took over Yanmen and emptied Liu Shirang, as if he was the leader of an army. After learning little by little, you can only control the general situation and hand over the specific military affairs to the deputy.

Tens of thousands of people set up camp, and the busy month came to an end. Sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, Li Shanduan just shook his head with a smile when facing Hu Yan and Qian Jiulong's questions.

"There's no need to build a stronghold. Go out to battle tomorrow, and within a few days, we will be able to defeat the enemy!"

Hu Yan couldn't bear it any longer, he stood up abruptly and said, "The Turks occupy the important roads and send troops to the south continuously. There are tens of thousands of troops. Dare I ask how the King of Handan defeated the enemy in a few days?"

Qian Jiulong's face was serious, and he also echoed: "A few days ago, Dubu Khan came to attack, and since two days ago, Turi Khan has also appeared. After joining the army, there should be nearly [-] cavalry. Break the formation first."

Li Shan ended with one sentence, "Dubu, Tuli, but insert the label to sell first ear!"
