Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 886

Since the rise of Li Shan, Jieli Khan, Yugushi, father and son, Ashina Momo, Ashina Association Rate, and Ashina Sheer have all been defeated by him. Does Tuli Khan feel that he is better than Li Shan? Are these guys stronger?

Not to mention that after the Tang Dynasty ruled the world, through Yanmen, Guji Town, Cangtou River and today's battle, the tribes of the grassland showed their ferocious teeth. Tuli Khan would not be so stubborn as to touch this hard rock again.

On the contrary, although Ashina Sheer led his troops several times in this battle, he was defeated so easily by the Tang army's infantry. He may have the morale of the army, but his subordinates must be suspicious, and most of the people who died in the battle were his direct descendants, with great vitality Injury, this is the golden opportunity for Tuli Khan.

Li Shan pondered in his heart that the two old friends came hand in hand that day, and the letter he sent did not have any effect, but Li Shan believed that the balance between the two parties had been broken. The power will be revealed gradually.

This is a good thing for Datang, and it is even better for Li Shan. As long as the civil strife within the Turks cannot be cut quickly, the Tang army will have enough time to recover the three states... When the Turks no longer have internal chaos, they should also Back to Chang'an.

In the future, Li Shan felt that neither Li Yuan nor Li Shimin would allow him to lead the army again. Could it be that there will be a second Tiance General?

Li Shan's eyes turned around Zhang Shigui and Dou Gui. From the perspective of ability, Zhang Shigui and Su Dingfang are the most suitable, but from the perspective of faction, Zhang Shigui, as the confidant of King Qin, may be difficult to take over, but if Supplemented by Xue Wanche, Li Yuan should not object to the current situation in Beijing.

And if Su Dingfang hadn't been recalled to the court to take over the Beiya Imperial Army again, perhaps he would be more suitable for this position.

As for Dou Gui, as a foreign relative, there is a certain possibility that he will not be involved in the dispute over the heir apparent. After all, it was Li Yuan himself who appointed him as the deputy director of the Xingjun Dao.

Forget it, I don't want to think about these for the time being, at least it will be several months, or even half a year later, and who it is will have to be judged according to the situation of the imperial court seizing the throne at that time.

Li Shan and the others headed north all the way, passed a narrow mountain road, detoured a few bends, and could already see the wide flat land in the distance. , a fierce riding battle is in progress.

At this moment, thousands of horseshoes knocked on the ground, making a thunderous sound. Duan Zhixuan excitedly waved his saber, and like an arrow off the string, he rushed into the rear of the fleeing Turkic army.

There were endless screams, and the pale Ashina Sheer fled in a hurry, not daring or willing to look back. In that valley, he made a third attempt, but the result was still the same. It was a fiasco without any suspense. After the group of black armored infantry appeared, everything was out of his control.

"Sweat, sweat!"

The guards in front shouted joyfully, Ashina Sheer looked intently, two cavalry came from left and right, pounced on the wings of the Tang cavalry who were chasing, more than a hundred cavalry galloped towards the middle, led by The most trusted general under his command, Kang, presupposes.

Kang preset has been waiting near Baiquan County for a long, long time, and he was impatient. After noon, he sent scouts to investigate. At the beginning, some scouts reported that they were withdrawing troops, and the scouts sent later could not return. Here it comes... trampled to death by the surging flow of people fleeing for their lives.

It wasn't until two quarters of an hour ago that Kang Shuai personally led scouts to block a group of escaped clansmen. All of them were covered in blood, and most of them had broken arms and legs. It was hard to find one who was not injured... …In the end, I couldn't stand still, and the whole person collapsed on the ground.

I can't ask anything, I only know about the big defeat, the disastrous defeat, I only know that the King of Handan personally went into battle, the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses piled up like a mountain. Kang presumed that he also escaped from the battle of Cangtou River last year, so he couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart , but it happened that the scouts came to report and saw the Khan flag coming out of the passage, and there were no more than a thousand Tang cavalry in pursuit, so they dared to bring reinforcements to meet them.

"This idiot, you really aren't afraid of death!" Feng Li cursed angrily at the back, and after hesitating for a while, he snatched away Ma Qian, who was the bodyguard, and shouted, "Follow me!"

At this time, Duan Zhixuan also realized that something was wrong. Although the Dubu Khan was visible to the naked eye, the Turkic soldiers on the two wings had already surrounded him, and it was foreseeable that the way back would be cut off.

The Turkic people who were being chased all the way also reacted, summoned up their courage and tried to entangle Duan Zhixuan's troops, outflanking and cutting off the rear path... The current terrain can give full play to the advantages of the Turkic people.

Some interest must be recovered... Ashina Sheer thought so.

It's a pity that Ashina Sheer didn't expect that Duan Zhixuan not far away was an out-and-out ruthless man. He was captured alive in the Luoyang War, and Duan Zhixuan dared to kill the enemy and seize the horse. Under the siege of the sergeants, he broke out of the siege abruptly.

Seeing that he was already trapped in the formation, Duan Zhixuan yelled violently, threw the saber in his hand, and stabbed a Turkic general on the opposite side to the heart. scored three points.

Ashina Sheer's face turned ugly, and he secretly cursed that Li Huairen's subordinates are full of these killers who are not afraid of death!
"Reinforcements are coming." Kang Huai reminded with a slight frown. After all, the large force has not yet arrived, and there are only three or four thousand horses now, and there is no absolute advantage.

"Withdraw the troops." Ashina Sheer said without hesitation: "Let the Khan Banner slow down and lead the Tang army to attack."

There is actually nothing wrong with Ashina Sheer's thinking. Since the Tang army is staring at the Khan flag and attacking fiercely, then he simply uses the Khan flag as bait. As long as he goes a few miles north and passes Baiquan County, the ambush should arrive. It can break the back of the Tang army... In fact, the number of Tang cavalry chasing all the way is only a few thousand, not counting the rate of association, there are as many as [-] to [-] cavalry under the command of Kang Shuai, who is ambushing near Baiquan County , It is enough to trap those Tang Jun who are already exhausted.

In fact, Duan Zhixuan was also caught in the trap. After discovering that Feng Li led the cavalry to catch up from the rear and the Turkic troops retreated slowly to the north, he rode his horse like flying all the way north.

"Go back!" Feng Li personally brought dozens of personal guards all the way to kill, and the horse lance in his hand stuck out the long lance that was holding Duan Zhixuan, and said angrily: "Your Highness has an order not to go half a step beyond Baiquan County. Your Highness dare not kill you?!"

Duan Zhixuan hesitated for a while, thinking of Wang Junhao who was punished with [-] army sticks, and thinking of himself being driven back to Chang'an the year before last, his blood suddenly turned cold, and he resentfully threw the long lance to the guards.

"Sweat flag, sweat flag!" A personal guard suddenly pointed to the front and shouted.

Duan Zhixuan's eyes lit up, he picked up the big bow hanging on the side of the horse, and shot down the Turkic soldiers holding the flag with one arrow. There was a commotion in the Turkic army. A Turkic soldier who went to Fuhan Banner shot over.

"This... this..." Feng Li was speechless.
