Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 878 Beat the drum, beat the drum!
Just when the Turks were about to withdraw their troops, and when Li Shan commanded the three armies to speed up, dozens of Tang cavalry galloped towards the central army at high speed, led by Guo Pu, the leader of Li Keshi's personal guard.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Zhu Ba shouted loudly to make way, Li Shan simply drove out, "What's the matter?"

Panting heavily, Guo Pu shouted: "Zhang Sanlang sent his personal guards to report back, and there is only the Dubuhan Banner on the hill."

Li Shan was stunned, he didn't think that letter could play any role in sowing dissension. It had been nine days since the war started, and the two khans joined hands in the first eight days, they were very close, and fell out at the last moment?

It's impossible!

Even if they fall out, they will definitely not fall out at this time!
Even if they fall out, the tribe below will not raise their swords at each other!

A teacher who never forgets the past, it is impossible for them to forget how Guji Town was defeated in the first battle last year, and it is impossible for them to forget the numerous Beijing temples by the Cangtou River!

Well, there is only one explanation!
If the weakening of the Turkic resistance and the retreat of the Liupanshan Turkic troops just made Li Shan suspicious, now he is at least [-]% sure of what the two old friends on the opposite side are thinking and what they want to do.

Fighting hard for nine days, waiting for nine days, the fighter plane appeared at the last moment, Li Shan tried his best to control his breathing, his face was calm, but he was tightening his hands on the reins, and the horse under his crotch was circling in circles, neighing endlessly.

Picking up the binoculars and looking at it, the fight ahead is still in a stalemate, Li Shan shouted: "Call Qian Jiulong, Kan Leng."

"Order the right army, King Huaiyang, to lead the troops personally, and Ma Sanbao to lead the cavalry out!"

"Order the left army Li Keshi to lead the cavalry to meet in the middle."

"Qian Jiulong, you are behind all the Chinese cavalry!"

"Kan Ling, all the Mo Dao fighters and auxiliary soldiers are on horseback, following Qian Jiulong."

Li Shan quickly cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a burly young man with a gray complexion but a fighting spirit in his eyes, "Liu Rengui!"

"The end is here!"

Li Shan drove his horse to speed up, paralleling the tall chariot, and stretched out his hand to pull down the Chinese army's banner, "Liu Rengui!"

"Hold the banner at Gu's side, take a half step back, and Gu will behead you!"

The blushing Liu Rengui almost bounced on the spot, jumped on his horse, and took over the banner, "I will follow Your Highness, sweep away the dust!"

On the hills in the distance, Ashina Sheer had already begun to arrange to retreat, and Su Dingfang on the east side of the battlefield began to make tentative attacks with partial divisions, trying to find loopholes, and it was likely to carry out a full-force surprise attack.

And the Turkic people in the eastern battlefield are also constantly retreating. Everyone knows that a large number of people have withdrawn their troops. Who can hide this?
Do I need to continue fighting to the death?
Similar thoughts are very common, even the king's tent soldiers in the middle have no fighting spirit, and many people have even guessed Dubu Khan's thinking... As long as there is enough depth, it is not too difficult to defeat Tang Jun.

Tuli Khan suddenly pointed to the south, "The Tang army is going to increase its troops again?"

"Increasing troops?" Ashina Sheer, who was directing the king's tent soldiers to retreat gradually, was startled, turned his head to look carefully, although the distance was a little far away, he could faintly see about two or three thousand Tang cavalry gathering, and couldn't help laughing Said: "Is there nothing Li Huairen can do?"

From Ashina Sheer's point of view, the Tang army has almost suppressed all the cavalry, but the battle has stalled here, and the combat effectiveness of the infantry in this terrain cannot be underestimated, but after all, the mobility is too poor. Too slow.

Ashina Sheer also knew the Tang army's organizational system. Generally speaking, the infantry was divided into sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and crossbowmen, but the infantry brigade must be covered by a small number of cavalry. This should be Li Huairen's last manpower.

"It should be that we have noticed that we are going to withdraw our troops..." Ashina Sheer smiled after thinking for a moment: "Could it be that you still want to come here to take advantage of it at this time?"

"Let him chase it." Tuli Khan also smiled, "I wish he could chase it all the way to Yuanzhou."

Ashina Sheer didn't bother with the distant Tang cavalry anymore, and focused his attention on the foot of the hill, and personally commanded the Wang tent soldiers to withdraw in batches. Although Zhang Zhongjian's former army was trapped in the formation, they still went back and forth In the charge, Hu Yan, Xue Wanche, Zhang Zhongjian, Hou Hongtao and other generals fought desperately. The Turkic generals all retreated and could only use bows and arrows to stop the opponent's charge.

"Khan?" The guard on the side urged, but there was a look of admiration in his eyes.

Ashina Sheer, who decided to cut off the rear himself, remained silent. Several guards were putting on armor for him. He knew in his heart that once he withdrew his troops, he would be easily chased by Tang Qi and lead to chaos, but there was only one way to retreat, and Not too wide.

Of course, using this method to strengthen his control over his subordinates is also what Ashina Sheer values... After all, Jieli Khan died not long ago, and he just came to power.

Tuli Khan's face over there froze, could it be that I have to wear my armor too?
You bastard, playing these tricks to attract people's hearts, why didn't you know to say hello to me in advance? !
This time Tuli Khan really didn't dare, in case the battle went against him, he knew what might happen if he thought about it with his ass?
Now all the soldiers around the hill are the king's tent soldiers, and they are all the direct descendants of Ashina Sheer. If something goes wrong, the Tang army will break through the formation and slash and kill. There may be more than [-] troops covering Ashina Sheer's retreat. , and he could only flee for his life in a hurry with more than a hundred guards around him.

"Shibobi, you should withdraw first."

Faced with Ashina Sheer's understatement, Tuli Khan was overjoyed, but then he noticed the undisguised disdain of the guards around him.

"Break the queen together!" Tuli Khan said firmly.

He suddenly figured it out just now, if something unexpected happens, that Li Huairen will definitely follow Ashina Sheer after him, if he is unlucky enough to be captured alive...as long as Ashina Sheer can escape , I will definitely be released by Li Huairen.

Isn't that the reason why Emperor Tang released Ashina Sheer that day?
Just when the two Khans were still fighting each other, when the king's tent soldiers around the hill began to gradually retreat, and when Su Dingfang on the eastern battlefield discovered that the Turkic troops were withdrawing, he was hesitating whether to continue to attack and break the formation.

On the south side farther away from the hill, Li Daoxuan, Ma Sanbao, and Li Keshi from the left and right armies had already led their cavalry, and even the commander of the right army, Dou Gui, had arrived in person.

The cavalry of the three armies, including the armor, Modao, and auxiliary soldiers loaded with the Modao team, did not exceed [-] cavalry in total.

Li Shan's eyes were like lightning, and he scanned it quickly, raised the horse in his hand forward, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum!"

"Drums, drums!"

Hundreds of shirtless men held drumsticks and slammed on the drum. From the very beginning, the thunderous drum sound resounded through the sky and the earth.

Like the sound of a drum, Li Shan was the first to drive his horse forward. From the very beginning, the horse galloped wildly, with Liu Rengui holding high the banner of the Chinese Army by his side.

Countless people saw it, and saw the yellow flag of the Chinese Army marching northward in a hurricane manner, all the way to the north.
