Late Tang

After the White Horse Silver Spear Gao Siji and the Iron Spear Wang Yanzhang led their respective cavalry to arrive, they immediately launched a wave of counter-charges with the help of the newly arrived forces.The Shatuo people were rushed by this, and they didn't know how many people came in the dark night.

Only heard the constant shouting and killing outside, the iron hoofs like thunder, and the continuous sound of war drums, horns and iron whistles under the pass, Chen Tieshan refused to retreat in a deadly battle.But at this time, the Shatuo people also panicked. Hundreds of Zhendong Army soldiers fought with them in the middle of the night before. If they come to reinforce them at this time, how dare they stay.

Wang Tieqiang charged forward, one horse in the lead, two iron guns smashed right and right, and there was no enemy in front of the horse.Gao Siji and Liu Xun had nothing to do at this time, Wang Yanzhang had already rushed into the enemy group with his troops, like a tiger entering a herd of sheep.If they don't keep up at this time, if the Shatuo people react and their reinforcements are only a few hundred, it will be dangerous.Borrowing the remaining prestige, the three of them formed the arrow of this huge front arrow, whizzing and going straight to the Shatuo people's formation.

With all his strength, Chen Tieshan tried to reorganize a counterattack, but his persistence was instead regarded as a target by Wang Tieqiang, and he rushed to the front directly.Chen Tieshan came to fight with guns, the two sides fought several times, Gao Siji and Liu Xun came again, but Chen Tieshan was defeated and left in defeat.However, Liu Xun recognized that this man was the enemy's general, so he ran away, and directly tapped the horse's ear with the spear. The horse had cooperated with him for a long time, and he leaped forward knowingly. Leaping more than a foot away at once, with this momentum, Liu Xun also exhausted all his strength, directly flattened the horse spear, and stabbed Chen Tieshan's back fiercely with extreme speed.

The three-foot spear pierced directly to the end, piercing from the back and protruding from the chest.

The huge impact directly lifted Chen Tieshan from his horse. After passing through the spear, his body got stuck at the place where the spear was left. The corpse jumped out of the blade and fell into the crowd.

The main general was dead, and the Shatuo soldiers had no desire to fight any more, they just ran towards the south blindly.

Liu Xun Sanzhen led hundreds of cavalry to follow closely behind, just like a pack of wolves driving a flock of sheep, driving them to rush into the pass continuously, and scattered the Shatuo people's own soldiers and horses.

Li Sizhao, who was still confronting Li Cunxiao and the others, and no one could subdue anyone, turned pale when he heard the news.No one expected that Guancheng, which was taken by dozens of people, has not been recaptured until now. Instead, another reinforcement from the enemy arrived, and even the entire Guanmenlou was taken away. Now even brothers Chen Tieshan are fighting died.

"Take down these eighteen assassins immediately, and then the whole army will take back and close the door!" Suddenly, a shout rang out, and Li Sizhao turned around, only to see that it was his stepmother, and Mrs. Liu suddenly appeared.Beside him, righteous brother Li Siyuan was also on the side.

"Why did Madam come back?"

"Such a big thing happened in this pass, how can I leave." Not long after Liu Yunniang left Taixi Pass, someone came to report that an assassin broke in, killed Liu Zhijie, and had captured the three brothers Li Kexiu as hostages.

When they heard that Li Sizhao had thrown the mouse, because there were hostages in the enemy's hands, and they had been unable to deal with it, Liu and Li Siyuan resolutely rushed back with [-] cavalry.

It's just that she didn't expect that the situation here was worse than she expected.

"Ma'am, the three generals are in the hands of the assassin!" Li Sizhao said sadly.

Liu said: "I know that the three uncles are in the hands of the assassins, but now there are more than 5000 brothers besides the three uncles. First the assassins appeared, then they took the city gate, and now the enemy's reinforcements came. Yes. It is expected that most of the enemy will appear soon. If you continue to hesitate like this, not only will you not be able to save the three uncles, even all of us will not be able to escape. Listen to me, take down these three assassins immediately, and then take back Guancheng with all your strength .”

"Go quickly, no matter what happens, I will take responsibility in the end!" Mrs. Liu was anxious.

Li Sizhao was still hesitating, but Li Siyuan had immediately accepted the order, turned around and said to the eight hundred riders behind him: "Follow me! Let's take back the closed door."

Eight hundred cavalry rode away, seeing this, Li Sizhao had no choice but to order to attack Li Cunxiao and others.

At this time, Li Cunxiao's 18 people had retreated into the main hall of the town general's mansion, taking Li Kexiu and the other three as hostages.Li Sizhao attacked, but Li Kezhang was tied up, held in Li Cunxiao's hands, and blocked in front of the door. The attacking Shatuo people were timid and attacked for a while, but Li Cunxiao stabbed more than a dozen people to death.

On the other side, Li Siyuan rushed to Guancheng with [-] cavalry. On the way, he saw many fleeing soldiers being driven by the Zhendong Army.

Hastily ordered to form an array to meet the enemy, and shot the formation with bows and arrows.

"No one is allowed to attack the formation, and the besiegers are shot to death on the spot!" Seeing those defeated soldiers being driven directly to the front of the formation, Li Siyuan yelled.

But those defeated soldiers were not elites at all, they panicked at this moment, they just wanted to escape into Li Siyuan's army, so they didn't care much.

Seeing that the warning was ineffective, Li Siyuan yelled: "Those who are twenty steps ahead of the formation will be shot to death with random arrows, let them go!"

After a shower of arrows, the dozen or so people rushing to the front were shot and fell to the ground.

This time, those chaotic soldiers were finally sober.Attacking your own army is a capital offense!

There was interception in the front and pursuit in the back. These Shatuo soldiers had no way of retreating at this time, and finally had to stop and turn around in front of the formation, and began to form a loose formation, turning around to face the battle.

Liu Xun couldn't help frowning when he failed to drive the enemy into chaos. It seems that not all Shatuo people are generals like Chen Tieshan.

The two armies started a fierce battle at the moment, one side was Liu Xun and other four hundred cavalry, the new momentum was sharp, and they wanted to rush directly into the pass and defeat the enemy.On the other hand, Li Siyuan was temporarily ordered by Mrs. Liu, and now he has the intention of living up to the military order to fight to the death, and is determined to defeat the enemy and take back Guancheng.

Not long after, Li Sizhao was also ordered by Mrs. Liu, and came with another one.

"The three generals took it back?" Li Siyuan asked quickly when he saw Li Sizhao appearing.

Li Sizhao said sadly: "The assassin refused to surrender and even set fire to the mansion. The town general's mansion was burned to the ground. The three generals and the assassin died in the fire, and there was no ashes to be found."

Li Siyuan also did not expect such a result, the foster father and nine brothers, Ke Jian and Ke Rang who stayed in Chang'an City when they rose up earlier, had already been killed, and now three more are gone here.

"Don't think about those useless things. It's more important to get back to Guancheng first. Madam judges that most of the enemy is likely to arrive soon." Li Sizhao gritted his teeth, his face full of anger.Although Li Sizhao is now Li Keyong's adopted son, in fact he followed Li Kemao since he was a child, and was closer to Li Kerou.Now that the adoptive father is dead, how can he not be angry.

Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan attacked in anger, there were so many soldiers and horses at the moment, and they had no worries about the future, they fought more and more fiercely.

On the contrary, Liu Xun's more than [-] riders, after charging for a while, gradually fell into a bitter battle, and gradually became difficult to support with outnumbered enemies.In the end, he was forced by Li Sizhao and his brothers to keep retreating, and retreated back to the crude position of Guanxia.Tired of people and horses, they had no choice but to dismount in the end. On the basis of Liu Xun's original formation of chariots, another circle of corpses was piled up as a defensive position.

"Persist for a while, the Duke is coming!"

The dawn of dawn appeared, and the sun illuminated the earth.

At this point in the fight, Li Cunxiao still didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Even the 400 men brought by Wang Tieqiang and Gao Siji were almost lost. There were less than a hundred men left behind the positions, and almost all of them were wounded.At this time, it is too late to retreat. Only by persisting, may there be a chance of survival.

Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao on the opposite side also admired the people of the Zhendong Army very much. The soldiers were almost wiped out, but the four flags behind them still did not fall.

"Can you sign up for the generals on the opposite side? I admire you very much, and I can't bear to see you die here. Why don't you put down your swords and guns and join my Shatuo Army. Although this is just a young general, he is willing to stand in front of his foster father. I highly recommend it to everyone." Li Siyuan shouted in front of the formation, he had already led his troops to semi-surround here, ready to launch the final charge.However, the performance of those generals was really amazing, and he couldn't help but want to recruit them.These Zhendong troops caused too much damage, especially at this time, if they fought a trapped beast, his men would inevitably suffer more casualties.

"Boy, report your own name first!" Wang Tieqiang leaned against a cold corpse, his face was tired, but his expression was calm, without the slightest hint of fear.

"This is Li Siyuan, next to me is my adopted brother Li Sizhao, both of my brothers are adopted sons of Li Liuhou of Datong." Li Siyuan said loudly.

Wang Tieqiang hid behind the bunker made of corpses, and said loudly: "We are four brothers in life and death. My elder brother is known as Liu Xun, a wise general with a hundred steps, and my second brother is Gao Siji, who is known as White Horse and Silver Spear. An iron spear, known as Iron Spear General Wang Yanzhang, and the one who sneaked into the pass with eighteen cavalry before, that is our fourth brother, Li Cunxiao, known as Tiger Fighter. Recruiting is unnecessary, we are all disciples of Li Jungong, the envoy of Zhendong Army. I just want to ask you, where is our fourth brother now?"

Hearing that these four were actually Li Jing's disciples, Li Siyuan sighed, no wonder they are so powerful, they turned out to be Li Jing's disciples.At this time, he also knew that there was no hope of recruiting, and he said with some dismay: "The fourth brother you mentioned sneaked into Guanzhong to kill my general Shatuo, and also hijacked Li Liuhou's three younger brothers. We kindly persuaded him to surrender, but he set fire to him. Burned myself and the three generals to death. Since you are unwilling to surrender, then we two brothers will send you three brothers to meet him underground together! Attack!"

The Shatuo people's whining offensive horns sounded melodiously, and then the whining horns sounded outside the city, one after another with the Shatuo people's horns.

Dawn finally arrived, and those who came to Taixi Military City together with the dawn, and the five thousand town east army led by Li Jing arrived!
