Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 55
Li Shan, who was at the end of the horse galloping along the Jing River, was a little nervous. After all, this is not a flat drying field, nor is it a comfortable grassland.

"Don't be nervous, don't use too much force on your legs."

The big man on the side smiled and pointed out, "The whole body is tense, and the horse is also uneasy."

"Thank you Uncle Guo for your guidance." Li Shan forced a smile.

Guo Pu was the general of Li's family, he fought with Li Keshi in the north and south, he was born and died several times, and he was ordered to teach Li Kai and his brothers martial arts, he was very respected by Li Kai.

Guo Pu leaned over, stretched out his hand to take the reins of Li Shan's crotch horse, and pointed patiently, "Si Lang's crotch horse has been riding for about a year, so he can ride freely. It's better for you to buy a healthy horse with a soft tongue..."

Li Shan listened carefully and got used to it a little bit. The situation was better than before. He thought that the difficulty of textual research was quite high. No matter how difficult it was in the previous life, it was only three months. In this life, three years would be enough. At most, he just couldn’t fall down.

"Pillar of smoke?"

Li Shan looked up, and there were three pillars of smoke, large and small, in the distant sky, which was particularly dazzling in the blue sky.

The people in front also reined in their horses and talked a lot. Li Shan heard Yuchi Baolin shouting loudly, asking his followers to go and investigate.

They are all children of Prince Qin's mansion, their fathers and grandparents have experienced wars, and there are even people like Yuchi Baolin and Li Kai who have already fought against the enemy. Although the entourage around them did not carry horses, they also brought some long knives, bows and crossbows. And a longer wooden stick than the trial.

"What happened to Changle Slope?" Li Shan jumped off his horse, "It can't be a foreign enemy attack, I'm afraid there are bandits making trouble."

Li Kai nodded in agreement, "More than a month ago, Liu Heikai reappeared, Hebei Road Marching Commander Huaiyang King and Shi Wanbao stayed in Hebei, and Qi King led his army back to Guanzhong. It is impossible for foreign enemies to attack."

This is a very simple judgment. Changlepo is only [-] to [-] miles away from Chang'an. It is impossible for foreign enemies to attack. Changlepo fell without the capital knowing.

Changsun Chong said abruptly, "I heard that Liu Heita has broken Dingzhou and Yingzhou."

Li Shimin was left idle last year. Except for Li Xiaogong and Li Jing who were still managing Jiangnan and Lingnan, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng tried their best and dispatched almost all famous generals except the Qin Palace, but none of them won.

The people around fell silent. Now that the world is mostly at peace, Liu Heitai is like a thorn in Li Tang's back, which makes people feel uneasy.

Li Shan said slowly: "More than two months ago, Li Dayen was defeated and died..."

"Huh?" Gao Xing's expression tightened, "Brother Li, what do you mean?"

"The scout is back." Li Shan pouted.

The four scouts sent by Yuchi Baolin were all elites who had gone through the battlefield, and unexpectedly two of them came back with wounds, cursing and wrapping up the wounds.

The scouts headed by the crowd gathered in the middle, but Li Shan didn't go up to him, but stood quietly on the spot, motionless.

"It's just that the refugees are causing chaos. Now in early August, it's the time when the Turks are going south to invade the border." Yuchi Baolin said loudly: "Although I didn't bring a horse, but with a fast horse and sharp blade, it's easy to kill and scatter the refugees."

"That's not right, the son of a daughter can't sit on the throne." Fang Yi shook his head and said: "We all have mounts, and it is reasonable to report to Chang'an Ling immediately on the way back."

Although there was no distinction between civil and military families during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were both brave warriors in the battlefield. Although Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling also experienced battles, they were only strategists after all, and the children in the family naturally followed their parents. .

Chang Sun Chong hesitated for a while, looked at Gao Xingshi, then at Li Kai, and turned his head to look at Li Shan.

"A son of a thousand gold can't sit down, but a six-foot body must know his fate." Li Shan said indifferently: "But I can't leave even if I want to."

The scouts outside shouted at this moment, "Mr. Lang, there are dozens of riders coming here from the town."

Li Kai jumped on the horse, and with the support of his followers, he stood on the horse's back and watched, and said with a sullen face, "Prepare for battle."

Cheng Chumo explained to Li Shan in a low voice, "Even if the horse is fast, the soldiers are chasing behind..."

"Don't need to say too much." Li Shan got off his horse, and he also understood the truth, rushing into the battle may not necessarily lead to loss, and running away... In case of being caught up, there is almost no power to fight back.

The entourage around them are all the elite soldiers of Qin Palace, some of them are from the Xuanjia Army, and they loudly commanded everyone to line up.

Chang Sunchong, Gao Xingxing and Li Shan were arranged in the most central position, the first two were because of their high status, while Li Shan was because of his weakness.

Li Shan held Guo Pusai's waist knife, thinking that he should have brought Zhou Zhao with him...

In the front are Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo leading their entourage, while Li Kai sits in the middle.

Following Li Kai's voice of command, more than 50 riders moved forward slowly, and after a while, dozens of riders could be seen pressing ahead.

Li Shan squinted his eyes to look carefully, the figure was very blurry, wielding a long knife in his hand, threatening, and he could vaguely see a large blood stain on a white horse.

"No horse!" Yuchi Baolin shouted: "A round of bows and arrows!"

Guo Pu on the side loosened his hand, threw away the reins of Li Shan's dismounted horse, took the longbow from the side of the mount, bent the bow and set an arrow.

Following Li Kai's commanding voice, dozens of feathered arrows pierced the sky and flew forward.

Li Shan heard the buzzing sound of the bowstring bouncing back, and he didn't know what effect this round of arrows could have. He only heard someone shouting in front of him, "Likes and sticks are ready, speed up!"

"Uncle Guo, protect Brother Li." Li Kai sneaked a few words in his busy schedule, exerting strength on his legs, and speeding up his horse with a spear in his hand.

There is a strange feeling in Li Shan's heart, like fighting for the first time in high school, or doing independent surgery for the first time in the hospital, or receiving patients for the first time in the emergency room...

Numerous pictures flashed through his mind. It seemed that he could hear the wind in his ears, and he seemed to have heard the thought of the swords in front of him. There were screams, and there was also the muffled sound of falling horses to the ground.

Qin Wangfu's elite reputation is well-deserved, one face to face, more than 30 enemy cavalry were knocked down, and only two people were lost here, Yu Chigong reined in the horse in satisfaction, looked back, his expression changed drastically.

When cavalry rushes into battle, they either pay attention to going forward bravely, or they pay attention to drifting thousands of miles. The former has a very important premise. The cavalry must have excellent riding skills and can calmly bypass obstacles once they encounter obstacles.

Therefore, when Li Shimin led the Xuanjia army to charge the battle, he would not smash all the cards in his hand at once, but divided into left and right armies, and responded back and forth.

The same is true for this charge. Yu Chigong divided the more than 50 cavalry into two parts. Li Shan was left behind in the center. Li Kai specially asked Guo Pu to take care of him. Li Shan couldn't handle it.

Unexpectedly, Li Shan was fine, but Chang Sun Chong fell off his horse, and when he was speeding up, he accidentally bumped into an unridden horse that had missed the front row.

After all, he was only 15 years old, and the panic-stricken eldest Sun Chong was thrown to the ground, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, the knight who fell on the last horse lowered his body and stretched out his hand.

"Hand out!"

"Come up!"

Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo in the distance were delighted to see that Zhang Sun Chong reflexively grabbed the other's outstretched palm.

The next moment, the horse's back was empty.

Li Shan, who was dragged off the horse by Changsun Chong, drew out his waist knife expressionlessly, and stared at the few men who came up.
