Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 585 First Battle

Standing at the highest point of the camp, looking at the black cavalry from a distance, Li Shan's face became extremely ugly, and he said that he would leave overnight, and before he even spent the night, the Turks had already killed him in front of him before dusk.

Wang Junhao pursed his lips tightly, and took a peek at Zhu Wei who was beside him...and Zhu Wei glanced at Li Shan who was still in a daze from the corner of his eyes.

Although I've heard about it a long time ago, I didn't expect Dalang to have this ability... Zhu Wei swallowed, he even reprimanded Wang Junhao in private before, what does it mean that Huairen decided that the Turks would not attack in advance, so... …

Calculating the time, today is only May [-]th, nearly ten days to half a month earlier than previous years.

"But Yunzhou..."

As soon as Du Xiao said the words, Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche said in unison, "Definitely not!"

"There are often Turkic rangers going south to investigate, but there are never thousands of them." Zhang Shigui explained in a low voice: "What's more, Ashina Association led the garrison in Yunzhou."

"Turkic cavalry often harass the border, but they usually don't choose to attack at dusk, let alone such a large group." Xue Wanche added: "Most Turkic people are night blind, it is difficult to march at night, and they are not good at setting up camps."

Zhu Wei nodded in agreement, and elbowed Li Shan who was still bewildered.

Li Shan finally came to his senses, now is not the time to think about things that are not there, the Turkic attack, he will be trapped in Guji Town ten to ten, and it is impossible to return to Yanmen Pass, otherwise, once the Turkic is caught up, the Turkic Cavalry can easily tear themselves apart.

The most important thing now is to establish the main general. I have no other choice but to support Zhang Shigui... I hope this famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, one of the few heroes in the Tiance Mansion who can stand on his own, the famous white-faced treacherous minister in history, can hold on situation.

Thinking of this, Li Shanli shouted, "Zhang Shigui!"

"The next officer listens to the order."

"In the camp, you have full power to deal with it." Li Shan took the long knife from Wang Junhao's hand and handed it over, "If anyone disobeys the military order, no matter who it is, you are allowed to decapitate them to deter the army!"

Zhang Shigui knelt down on one knee, took the long knife with both hands, "Yes."

Li Shan took the binoculars from the guards around him and handed them to Zhang Shigui, "How many enemies are here?"

Zhang Shigui looked calm, took a few glances through the binoculars, and said: "The enemy is about [-] cavalry, so it should not be from Yunzhou?"

Zhang Shigui's tone was suspicious, obviously he was asking Li Shan, who nodded after pondering for a moment, "It should not be the rate of association in Yunzhou."

If Tuli Khan had no intention of tearing up the covenant, even if the association sent troops, it would not be thousands of cavalry going south in one fell swoop, but a small group of rangers should come to warn... For the details, Li Shan and Tuli The Khan and the rate of association had been agreed on that day, and there have been similar worlds in the past two months, and Zhang Shigui may have spied a part or two from this.

"However, in the northwest of Yunzhou, the direct line of Jieli Khan is stationed." Li Shan whispered: "Brother Wu An, do you have a good plan?"

"Northwest of Yunzhou?" Zhang Shigui thought for a moment, picked up the binoculars and looked again, "Although it is not a long journey, but the horsepower is exhausted, so we can dampen the enemy's spirit first."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shigui suddenly stopped talking.

Li Shan looked sideways at Xue Wanche without hesitation, and shouted, "Where are Du Xiao and Wang Junhao?"

Before Du Xiao and Wang Junhao could come out, Xue Wanche snorted coldly, "Su Dingfang is not here, he will kill the general to capture the flag, charge into the battle, who else is better?!"

Now in the camp, Li Shan is the most famous, but he is not actually in charge of the army. Zhang Shigui is the main general, and Xue Wanche is under him... In fact, Zhang Shigui, who once defeated Wang Shichong's [-] army with thousands of horsemen, is also a leader, but Against the Turks, Xue Wanche has more experience.

Signaling Du Xiao and Wang Junhao to follow, Li Shan sighed in his heart. He didn't know whether it was just a small group of Turkic cavalry or the pioneer of a large army, but no matter what, the battle curtain had already begun, and it was done in the most unexpected and uncomfortable way. Prologue.

Tuli Khan asked the association to send a message that troops will be dispatched in ten days... There is no need for him to lie to me, what happened?

Li Shan was even a little angry in his heart, he had sworn to it yesterday, but he was slapped today... Fortunately, Ma Zhou was not there, otherwise he would have ridiculed him.

At Yanmen Pass, Su Dingfang is the main general. Half a year later, Su Dingfang has already firmly controlled the Daizhou Army.

Naturally, this cheap uncle won't get in the way, neither will Ma Sanbao, and Zhang Gongjin can't reach in... Thinking of this, Li Shan glanced at Xue Wanche, who was riding a horse and wielding a long spear in Wengcheng, fortunately, he brought this guy to Gu Market town, otherwise there might be troubles.

Zhang Shigui and the others had already left. The enemy army attacked so quickly, and there were too many things to prepare. Only Li Shan and a few personal guards were left standing on a high place and watching from afar.

Li Shan's thought of having fun in his bitterness is not without benefits...at least now, no matter whether it is Zhang Shigui or ordinary soldiers, they should not doubt that there will be no reinforcements outside the meeting and they will be in a desperate situation.

Scanning the distance aimlessly, Li Shan didn't care too much about Xue Wanche's troops who had already led the army out of the stronghold. Impact force, three thousand Turkic cavalry, it is impossible to defeat Xue Wanche... not even qualified to face it head-on.

Not to mention, the village in Guji Town was built slightly higher, with a clear view, and Shuozhou was flat with few hills. In addition, Xue Wanche had borrowed a telescope, so it was difficult to be ambushed by the Turks.

What Li Shan is more concerned about now is that in Guji Town, when the curtain of war is drawn, food and grass will definitely not be delivered. There are enough weapons and troops, but the problem is that there may not be enough food and grass.

Originally, there were [-] infantry, [-] cavalry, and [-] civilian husbands in the fort, about [-] people, and the food and grass reserves were only for half a month.

But this time when Li Shan went out to inspect Guji Town, all the guards around him were brought here. The guard battalion headed by Zhu Wei, Wang Junhao, and Du Xiao had nearly 600 people, plus nearly 700 guards around Xue Wanche, a total of [-] people.

Speaking of which, there are only 700 people, but these 700 people are all cavalry... People eat horse chews, which is much more expensive than ordinary soldiers.

There was a vague suspicion in Li Shan's heart. Tuli Khan had sent a letter beforehand, so there was no need to lie. The other party could not have known that he would go out to patrol Guji Town, so there must have been an accident.

So, how many troops will Jieli Khan attack on a large scale?
Probably not just the [-] or so that Tuli Khan said before... If there are too many enemies, let alone whether Mayi, Yanmenguan, and Guji Town can support each other smoothly, the food and grass in Guji Town alone will not be able to support it too much. Long.

Others can't help much by themselves, trapped in the stronghold, cut off news, difficult to control the overall situation, but some things can be done by themselves, such as the distribution of food and grass, such as the wounded barracks...

While thinking about this, Zhu Shitou beside him suddenly called out, "Uncle Qi!"

Li Shan suddenly looked down, and behind Xue Wanche, who was leading hundreds of elite riders out of the city to meet the enemy, was Zhu Wei, who was wearing bright light armor and holding a long spear.
