Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 779

The long convoy and cavalry spread across the road like a long snake. This snake didn't even have any bends, and it had almost no resistance to the enemies who rushed up.

This is the worst case scenario.

Li Yuan's face was as pale as snow, and he had been on the battlefield for a long time, so he didn't know that he made the worst choice. On the battlefield, those who are lucky will usually receive the cruelest punishment.

Noises rang out everywhere, roars and commands mixed with the crying of concubines and maidservants in the harem. King Qi Li Yuanji pulled Li Yuan's reins and shouted in panic, "Father, father, go, go!"

The mount was pulled forward, and a loud roar not far behind made Li Yuan wake up suddenly.Once you have made the worst choice, you cannot make the same mistake again and again.

If he fled at this moment, his authority would be swept away, those courtiers would be slaughtered, and his concubines and children would be captured. How could Li Yuan accept such a result.

"Left and right Qianniu guards, come with me!" Su Dingfang held his horse high, and led dozens of guards to rush out of the queue, make a circle, and run backwards.

Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief. Under such circumstances, the generals could barely form a resistance by setting an example. He originally wanted to summon his personal guards and go out in person.

"Hou Junji, Qiu Xinggong, Zheng Rentai, and Liang Jianfang." Li Shimin shouted an order, "Every leader of the personal guards should follow Su Dingfang's orders."

After a commotion, more than a thousand soldiers began to turn their horses' heads and followed Su Dingfang. The smoke and dust filled the rear, and the enemy was not far away.

"Father, let's go!" Li Yuanji raised his whip and was about to lash at Li Yuan's mount.

At this time, Li Shimin, who couldn't bear it anymore, kicked Li Yuanji off his horse, "Father, for the present plan, we can only return to Renshou Palace and stand by for help."

"That's right." Li Yuan, who had calmed down, did not look at Li Yuanji, who was in distress on the ground, but turned his horse's head and said, "Su Dingfang may not be able to hold on for long, Erlang will take care of himself, and the whole team will return to Renshou Palace immediately."

More than a dozen carriages were abandoned, and the harem concubines either rode or walked towards the direction of Renshou Palace. Fortunately, this was the Tang Dynasty, and there was no bad habit of women's feet bound. no stranger.

Yuwen Zhaoyi jumped on a yellow puma, hugged her eight-year-old son Li Yuanjia, and waved the whip to drive away the palace servants and maids who blocked the way, barely following behind Li Yuan.

Pei Shiju of Tiantai Mountain put his hands behind his back and sighed regretfully again. If Liang Jun could wait a little longer, and wait for the prey to be a little farther away from Renshou Palace, and thousands of cavalry besieged and slaughtered in the open field, it would be unlucky.

It was indeed Pei Shiju's intention to keep that edict in his hand. After the news of Jingzhou's defeat came, Pei Shiju, after being keenly aware of Li Yuan's thoughts, suddenly discovered that this was a golden opportunity.

If both Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son failed to escape the catastrophe, Prince Li Jiancheng would be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor logically. Even if Li Shimin survived the generals of the Tiance Mansion by relying on his bravery, he would still be responsible for Li Yuan's death. Have a chance to aspire to the throne of the Son of Heaven.

Until then, everything will be easy to handle.

Before Pei Shiju recommended Li Shan to control the army, it may not be out of selfishness, but he also has no other ulterior motives, the reason is very simple, his son Pei Xuanji is still in Longzhou.

However, after learning that Liang Jun was passing through Jingzhou, Pei Shiju immediately judged that Liang Jun's attack on Longzhou was likely to be a partial division, and there would be no major problems... It is impossible for Liang Jun to send two elite cavalry from Longzhou, Longzhou, Jingzhou and Qizhou went south to attack Qizhou. Firstly, there was no need for this, and secondly, the Liang division did not have so many troops.

There was a strong wind blowing, and the slightly scattered white hair on Pei Shiju's head was blown up, and the foot of the mountain was filled with yellow sand, and I couldn't see anything clearly, only the smoke and dust rolled up by the two sides were getting closer.

Su Dingfang deserves to be the famous general who destroyed the Three Kingdoms in history and captured all their masters. Although he had only a thousand soldiers under his command, he gave the menacing Liang Jun a head-on blow by rushing forward bravely.

After easily defeating thousands of Tang troops in Jingzhou with three thousand cavalry, the general Liang Luoren underestimated the enemy.

But Su Dingfang first personally led two hundred cavalry to meet the enemy, and the two cavalry met on a narrow road in the field. The elite Tang cavalry tore a hole effortlessly, but was also wrapped up intentionally or unintentionally by the opponent.

But the battle strength of these two hundred cavalrymen made Liang Luoren suffer a great loss. Su Dingfang, Hou Junji, and Qiu Xinggong were all battlefield killers, and all the personal guards around them were elites. The charge is almost as smooth as a steel knife cutting into tofu.

Su Dingfang personally acted as the arrow, and stabbed the horse straight in his hand to sweep across. There was no enemy in front of the horse, and the enemy retreated one after another. Hou Junji behind him took down the big bow, and the arrow went like a shooting star. Qiu Xinggong on the other side was bloodthirsty. , with a lance in his right hand and a knife in his left, roaring all over his body, his face was already covered in crimson blood.

Liang Luoren of the rear army couldn't help reining in his horse and stopped, his heart beat a little, the people on the opposite side were really cruel, could it be Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, the two killing gods of the King of Qin?
Su Dingfang caught sight of a figure wearing armor under the big banner, and in his busy schedule put aside the long spear, took off the big bow and shot an arrow, the corner of Liang Luoren's mouth twitched, but before he could react, the guards holding the big banner beside him let out a cry He fell down without saying a word.

However, Liang Luoren is not afraid. If he was afraid, he would not have taken such a big risk, rushed to a hundred miles away, and fought all the way here. After watching the battle for a while, Liang Luoren issued an order to leave the center empty, and the cavalry on both wings spread out , Completely cut off the Tang army's retreat, no matter how brave those brave generals are, after all, there are only more than a hundred soldiers around them, and it is impossible to kill them all the way in front of them.

If these hundreds of Tang troops can be successfully defeated, then the next step will be smooth... This idea just flashed through Liang Luoren's mind, and a stern shout resounded in the formation.

Su Dingfang held a lance in his right hand and swayed from side to side, with a rein in his left hand, and the mount on his crotch galloped south. Behind him, Hou Junji, Liang Jianfang and others were already prepared, and more than a hundred Tang cavalry drew an arc in the formation and rushed to catch up with Liang. Before the left and right wings of the army were encircled, they broke out of the formation.

Liang Luoren's face became gloomy, he was also a battle-tested general, his father Liang Bi was a county marquis in the former Sui Dynasty, and he was not a mediocre man.

The Tang army had more than a hundred cavalry charging into the formation, and it was brave and brave, but such a uniform style did not rely on the elite soldiers, but the level of the leading generals was the most important.

The timing was just right, just before the encirclement cut off the back road, he killed through the flanks and fled away... Liang Luoren's pupils shrank slightly, it is possible that King Qin himself led the army.

Thinking of this, Liang Luoren no longer hesitated, and ordered the whole army to pursue.

Turning around two intersections, Liang Luoren could see from a distance that more than a thousand people and horses were in chaos beside a large row of buildings at the foot of the mountain, but at this moment, nearly a thousand elite Tang cavalry charged out from the flanks, Into the Liang army formation.

This is not a clever tactic, but Su Dingfang's timing was impeccable when he chose to launch an aboveboard surprise attack at the moment when Liang Jun saw the loot in front of his eyes.
