Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 787 Choice

Pei Longqian's choice to flee to the south gate was logically the correct choice, because he felt that Zhang Wenxi and Zhang Wenguan's group should have died in battle.

The major Liang army had already entered the city, and Chang Da and Zhang Wenxi, who guarded the north city gate, were naturally defeated, but they did not flee along this north-south avenue.

Indeed, when Li Shan arrived with his personal guards, the battle was almost over. Zhang Wenxi and Zhang Wenxi had been captured alive, and Chang Da, whose bright light armor had been damaged, was desperately resisting with four or five personal guards... Will be cut to pieces.

At this moment, there was a stern shout, and Wang Junhao threw out the long spear in his hand. Although he couldn't penetrate any enemy soldier accurately, it also caused the seven or eight enemy soldiers to stop and turn their heads to look.

The hundreds of Liang soldiers around were a little surprised. The Tang army had already been defeated. Where did these hundreds of Tang cavalry come from?
Wang Junhao snatched a horse spear from his colleague and urged the horse to catch up. Hou Hongtao in front took the lead and crashed into the formation abruptly. At the same time, they threw away casually, drew out their long knives and slashed wantonly.

Many of the guards behind shouted together and broke into the formation along the gap. If it was about cavalry charging into the formation, no matter whether it was Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande or later Yuan Junzhang and Turkic, it would be difficult to compete with Tang cavalry, let alone Liang Jun. .

What's more, because of Li Shan's reputation of being a troublemaker, Ling Jing, Su Dingfang, Princess Pingyang and even Li Yuan all acquiesced in Li Shan's arming his personal guards to his teeth. Among the 100 closest personal guards, there are more than [-] personal guards They all wore iron armor such as bright light armor, fine scale armor, and chain mail, and the remaining hundred or so personal guards were also protected by excellent leather armor and cotton armor.

With such an impact, the hundreds of Liang troops who were enjoying the post-war delicacies barely had any resistance.

After a loud noise, when more than a dozen war horses fell to the ground, Liang Jun's front line had not been completely shattered. Chang Da, who had escaped to death, was panting heavily, leaning against the city wall, staring at Handan King Li Huairen with an indifferent expression.

"Brother Huai!"

Faintly hearing shouts, Li Shan suddenly turned his head to look, and drove to the north side with a dozen guards who remained beside him, and saw brothers Zhang Wenxi and Zhang Wenguan who were bound hands and feet and thrown to the ground.

Fortunately, fortunately, he was not killed.

Li Shan heaved a sigh of relief, and his personal guard jumped off the horse to untie the two of them. Zhang Wenguan, who had been silent since he was knocked off the horse and captured alive, was already in tears at this moment.

The friend is no longer the unknown and hopeless little person when we first met, he is already the king of the county and a famous general who is famous all over the world. This time, the friend is not forced to choose to attack the enemy at night, but to come to the rescue for the sake of friendship.

"Why are you crying!" Li Shan cursed deliberately with a smile, "You didn't get hurt, did you?"

After a few quick glances, Li Shan asked his personal guards to lead two horses. At this time, Chang Da had already arrived. The governor of Longzhou, who was at odds with Li Shan, didn't say anything, but bowed deeply.

Li Shan didn't bother to reprimand him anymore, this guy is really a good-for-nothing... What's more, this is not the time to talk, and now he has to run as fast as possible.

It is not too far from the North City Gate, and the hundreds of Liang soldiers who have just gathered have been defeated, but Li Shan knows very well that this cannot reverse the general situation, not to mention that the impact of the cavalry can also be displayed on this road. Once you come out, once you stop or are forced to leave the road, the advantages of the cavalry cannot be displayed, and you may be unable to escape.

At this time, the Liang soldiers who had regrouped were slowly approaching. With the support of several personal guards, Li Shan stood on the horse and looked through the binoculars. The main force of the Liang army had spread all over the north and south sides of the avenue. For myself, most of the troops are deployed on the south side, this is to cut off my own retreat.

"Your Highness..." Chang Da couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Is there any reinforcements going north?"

Li Shan thought over and over in his heart, and said casually: "No, Chang Shi Yang Ze, Sima Lin Xingcan stationed in Qianyuan, but Gu led his personal guards to go north."

Zhang Wenguan glanced at Chang Da, is it necessary to ask such a question?
This time, Zhang Wenguan hated Chang Da to the core. This guy is stupid, but he is so narrow-minded... Both Yang Ze and Lin Xingcan used to be stationed in Lingzhou, and they both defeated Liang Shidu who came to commit crimes. And Chang Dafei wanted to take Zhang Shilong, the defeated subordinate of Liang Shidu, and leave the other two assistant officials behind.

At this time, expect them to lead troops to help?
When the battle is unclear, how could Yang Ze and Lin Xingcan lead troops to help? Aren't they afraid that the whole Longzhou will be lost?
"Your Highness..." It was only at this time that Zhang Wenxi realized that Li Shan was the only one who went north by himself...Obviously it was his younger brother Zhang Wenguan who begged for it, but now he was about to fall into a desperate situation.

At this moment, on a hill a few miles away from the North City Gate, a burly general was commenting on the battle triumphantly. He infiltrated the defeated Tang army with his elite and took the opportunity to steal the door, waiting for the main force to come to help.

Although it is risky, the cost is low and the profit is high. The general said with a smile: "I didn't expect Chang Da, the general manager of Longzhou, to be so unbearable!"

This person is He Sui, a general under Liang Shidu's tent. He was a country rogue in his early years, and he followed Liang Shidu very early. shame.

After basically taking down Lingzhou, Yuanzhou, and Huizhou, He Sui was ordered to go south to attack Longzhou tentatively. In fact, it was also to contain the troops of Longzhou and faintly cooperated with Liang Luoren's thousands of miles of attack.

But He Sui was not reconciled to just trying, determined to take Huating County, and made several designs, first defeating Zhang Shilong, and then succeeding in a surprise attack.

A middle-aged barbarian beside him said flatteringly, "The Khan must be rewarded for this great victory."

Liang Shidu had raised troops as early as the end of the former Sui Dynasty, and even established a country before Li Yuan. The country name was Liang, and the year name was Yonglong. "Dadu Vija Khan", so the Hu people are still called Khan.

"One step also has merit. If there is no help, even if you succeed, it will be difficult to complete the merit."

He Sui knows how to be a man, and the cake is not eaten by himself. What's more, after ambushing Zhang Shilong this time, he saw that Huating stood firm, and he was really ready to retreat. He didn't expect to meet Jihu who was leading two thousand horses to plunder on the way back. The leader, Liu Nv, succeeded in hiding, so she decided to try again.

Looking at the Huating county seat that seemed to be lying at his feet, He Sui was full of ambition, and pointed to the south with a horsewhip in his hand, "The Tang army was defeated. If the north gate is lost, he must flee through the south gate."

Not hearing Liu Nv Nicheng's flattery again, He Sui frowned and turned his head to look, but saw Liu Nv Nicheng's finger pointing to the northwest, with his mouth wide open but unable to speak.

Looking along his fingers, He Sui couldn't help being stunned. There was a loud noise at the north city gate, and a Biao Tang cavalry rushed out of the city gate.
