Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 478
Li Shan was not a military fan in his previous life, let alone the cold weapon warfare of this era, but wars always have something in common, such as the distribution of troops.

It seems that there is not much difference in the strength of the left and right armies, but in fact Li Shan handed over all the most powerful cavalry to Su Dingfang, and he did not hesitate to fill in most of his personal guards, Li Kai, and Xue Zhong's personal guards. .

In addition, Liu Shirang who happened to arrive had nearly a thousand cavalry under his command. In fact, on the battlefield on the left, the Tang army had the upper hand in terms of combat power and strength. The collapse of the Turkic cavalry was not unexpected.

After defeating the left-wing enemy, Su Dingfang and Liu Shirang joined forces and did not rashly enter the right-wing battlefield, but detoured to the west... This move made the Turkic cavalry on the right, which had gradually gathered, into a mess.

Of the [-] Turkic cavalry, at least one-third had already been defeated, and some of them fled in all directions. Zhang Baoxiang led more than [-] Tang cavalry to fight left and right in the formation, while [-] Tang cavalry were about to cut off the retreat... Gathered in Yugu The Turkic cavalry around them panicked.

Escape to the north... may not be able to escape.

But fleeing to the west, the association rate also led thousands of Turkic cavalry around Mayi to meet the defeated troops.

"Desire to set up!"

Li Shan, who had been "trapped" in the formation all the time, roared loudly, "To capture and kill Yugu, you will be rewarded ten thousand yuan, and you will be granted a hundred acres of land!"

Well, this sentence became the straw that broke the camel's back.

The Turkic cavalry who can follow Yugushe to attack Yanmen Pass are either tribes controlled by Yugushe himself, or men and horses under Jieli Khan's command. The angry Jieli Khan cut off his head.

Yu Gushe, who had fallen into madness, didn't want to escape, but his followers were really scared, wrapped in him, and fled straight to the west.

Yugu set up an escape. Although the right-wing Turkic cavalry had not yet collapsed, the formation that had just gathered was scattered, and there was no organizational system anymore, and they fled westward in a chaotic manner.

Su Dingfang and Liu Shirang calmly did not make any moves, allowing most of the Turkic cavalry to flee, and then attacked to cut off a small part. Zhang Baoxiang, who caught up behind him, went round and round, slashing and killing, wailing and begging for mercy.

"Su Dingfang really has the talent of a general." Er Zhu Yichen praised: "Huairen really has insight."

Defeating the enemy's left flank within a quarter of an hour is a testament to bravery. He led the troops away from attacking, blocked the enemy's rear, and caused the enemy to flee in embarrassment.

Li Kai, whose face was stained with blood, galloped forward and shouted excitedly, "Huai Ren, such a great victory is enough to praise!"

"Brother Demou wasn't injured, right?" Li Shan was a little envious, he couldn't make a move from the beginning to the end, and he was so well protected.

Li Kai shook the horse lance in his hand, a stream of blood slipped from the tip of the lance, he laughed and shook his head.

On the other side of Yanmen Pass, Xue Zhong has already dispatched the civilians who had been prepared for a long time to go out. The first thing is to collect the wounded, the second thing is to cut off the heads of the Turkic wounded, which are all materials for Lei Jingguan, and the third thing is It is to lead the people of Yunzhou to enter the customs.

It was all planned in advance. Xue Zhong personally led the team out of the customs, his excitement was beyond words, "Hui Ren really wanted to set up a nemesis. Last time he was captured alive, this time he was easily defeated."

Li Shan shook his head slightly. The victory seemed easy this time, but the plan was long and risky. If Liu Shirang hadn't arrived at the perfect timing, Su Dingfang might not have been able to defeat the enemy's left wing so quickly. Even if he won in the end, it would have been a miserable victory.

And even now, it's not all done.

Over there, Su Dingfang, Liu Shirang, and Zhang Baoxiang were still eating meat. Li Shan had already issued a strict order that no surrender was allowed in this battle, and all soldiers should be killed.

Although Li Shan was a little anxious, he didn't urge...Er Zhu Yichen seemed to see something, and said in a low voice: "It's dusk."

"Yeah." Li Shan responded casually, then suddenly looked up, "It's snowing."

In the dark sky, big snowflakes fluttered in the wind, Li Shan squinted his eyes and thought in his heart, don't rush, don't rush, he can catch up!

……

Two hours later, in the wilderness by the roadside, Yu Gushe panted heavily, and whipped a cut tree stump with a horsewhip venting his anger. From the time the Tang army left the fortress, to the defeat of the left wing, and then to being forced to flee, he was always in a dilemma. In such an ignorant mood, I still haven't figured out how to lose.

But one thing is certain, the last time it could be said that he was accidentally captured, but this time he was defeated by the opponent openly, and the weak defeated the strong.

What kind of ridicule will I receive when I return to Wuyuan County?
There is no need to go back to Wuyuan County. After dawn, what kind of eyes will the association rate look at itself?
Yu Gushe stared at the ground, he couldn't accept such a failure, and wondered in his heart if he could use the rate of association to kill the carbine... After all, Yu Sheshe died in the hands of Li Shan.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of horseshoes, and there was a lot of noise around. The Turkic people got on their horses one after another. Yu Gushe touched the sweat on the horse's back, and then looked at the muddy road, which was a little unbelievable.

In such a climate, such a muddy road, even the best war horses cannot gallop at full speed, how could the Tang army chase so fast?

Before he had time to think too much, Yugu set up his horse and continued to flee westward in embarrassment. When he looked back, a black shadow had already grabbed his tail.

The burly knight shouted sharply, holding a shield in his left hand and swinging a knife in his right, he rushed into the Turkic cavalry, several of them were either stabbed by the long knife or smashed down by the shield in a moment.

Su Dingfang personally led the guards in front, calmly directed the charge again and again, easily tore pieces of flesh and blood from the deserters, and even retreated when the Turkic people were exhausted, playing like a cat and a mouse.

Holding a big bow, the arrows are like shooting stars, although it is snowing, although he can't see clearly, but there are so many deserters on the opposite side, nine out of ten arrows, Su Dingfang clearly heard the sound of falling horses, put down the big bow, held the horse's lance, charged into the battle again, it was easy Disperse the dozens of deserters gathered.

The Turkic soldiers no longer had any organizational system, and fled all over the mountains and plains. Su Dingfang didn't think too much about it, and just went straight to pursue in the direction of Mayi... If Yugushe was not out of his mind, he should vote for the rate of association.

One night of pursuit, five consecutive battles, Su Dingfang easily defeated the pursuers in each battle, which was due to his military talent and Li Shan's credit.

Su Dingfang jumped off the horse's back, took out some dry food from the pocket hanging on the horse's neck to feed the mount, and carefully raised the horse's hoof to look at it, but it was only a piece of pig iron, and he did not expect the effect to be so obvious.

The ability to catch up with the deserters so quickly is due to the fact that the Turkic cavalry has been attacking Yanmen Pass for many days, food and grass are not enough, and the horses are no longer available. .

The fate of Yugushe is a bit miserable, Li Shan is not prepared to promote horseshoes in the army so soon, who wants to provoke this guy?
Although only horseshoes were deployed in Su Dingfang and Li Shan's own personal guards, there were only [-] cavalry. Su Dingfang chased them at night and easily defeated every stubborn resistance of the Turks.

The sky was slightly bright, and the outline of Mayi had already appeared in the eyes. Yugushe, who had only seven or eight people left beside him, had tears in his eyes. Although he must be ridiculed, and maybe he would be whipped by his father, he was able to live in the end.

As long as you are alive, there is a chance.

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the sudden sound of horseshoes came to mind, and Yu Gushe looked back, and immediately hit the horse and galloped.

Dozens of Turkic scouts came towards him, and Yu Gushe was about to cry out for help, when suddenly the mount under his crotch fell down for no reason, and Yu Gushe was thrown out.

Su Dingfang put down his big bow, picked up the long lance, and relying on his bright armor, he blocked a few arrows, and lightly flicked Yugu She's head with the long lance in his hand.
