Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 789 Want to die or live?

Zhang Zhongjian's timing was very precise. Of course, under the premise of communication, he was almost conducting an open-book exam.

Accurately speeding up, when the cavalry's impact power reached its peak, it just rightly entered the Liang army like a long snake, and precisely hit the seven inches of the long snake.

Although Liang's army was nearly a thousand, he had almost no ability to fight back when he was ambushed by the opponent. After Zhang Zhongjian personally led his army to break through the enemy's formation, he circled an arc and charged horizontally again, smashing Liang's rear formation to pieces.

Qu Silang, He Fang and others will lead the cavalry of the team to chase and kill Liang Jun recklessly. Li Shan and Wang Junhao, who are still preparing to return to the front, are too lazy to make a move, so Hou Hongtao is unwilling to let go, and kills them with dozens of personal guards. , I just joined the door, so I have to show it.

"Zhigui, how is it?" Li Shan pointed a little far away, and said with a smile, "Your vision is not bad, is it?"

Zhang Wenguan is fine, but Zhang Wenxi is a little envious, "Huairen really has extraordinary eyesight. The head of the bodyguards is the Duke of Julu County, followed by the man of Leshou County. It seems that Zhang Zhongjian will be knighted in the future."

Chang Da felt very regretful, if he had known that Zhang Zhongjian was so good, he should have agreed to take him to the north that day, why did this happen.

Zhang Wenguan asked suspiciously: "Why did Brother Zhang ambush here?"

Hou Chen, who rushed to the side, explained with a smile: "Your Highness led two hundred riders into the city, the North City Gate was lost, and Liang Jun broke through the city. His Highness had a plan to break out from the North City Gate. He sent his personal guards to inform him beforehand, and then Contact with scouts, and Zhang Zhongjian will be able to come."

Zhang Wenguan was speechless, Liang Jun broke the city, the most important thing to do was to withdraw the troops as soon as possible, but his friend planned to break through the north city gate, just for himself and his elder brother.

Zhang Wenxi also lowered his head. He didn't have a deep friendship with Li Shan, and he also knew that Li Shan was mainly for Zhang Wenguan, but this kind of life-saving grace... Counting Wucheng back then, this is already the second time.

This kind of kindness, the Zhang family of Wucheng will not be clear in this life.

"Zhigui reminded you not to take risks the day before yesterday..." Li Shan sighed: "But in the battle, even the King of Qin is hard to say that he will win. If you don't take risks, how can you win?"

The process of being chased for more than half an hour before was the period when Li Shan traveled to this era and was the closest to death. It was much more dangerous than the siege of tens of thousands of Turks outside Guantao City.

If Zhang Zhongjian hadn't arrived in time, Li Shan would have almost no chance of winning against nearly a thousand Liang troops against less than two hundred Tang cavalry, and it would be impossible for the opponent to stop negotiating terms like Ashina Sheer did back then.

The battle is almost coming to an end. After being dismantled, the Qianliang Army faced five or six hundred Tang cavalry and was defeated without any resistance. Some fled south, some fled the way they came, and more soldiers He chose to kneel down and surrender.

Li Shan was about to ask someone to bring some captives over to inquire about the military situation, when Hou Hongtao came on horseback, carrying a Liang Jun general with a damaged Mingguang armor in his hand.

"boom!"

He Sui, who was thrown on the ground, reluctantly raised his head to look. A young man with a slight arrow mark on his face was smiling. Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were cold.

"Your Highness, this person is He Sui, General of the Liang Army." Hou Hongtao said proudly, "He has some courage and took some effort."

He Sui couldn't help swallowing when he heard the word "Your Highness", and said in a jerky voice, "I have heard for a long time that the King of Qin is brave, and this defeat is not unfair."

"Brother Huai, this guy is putting you on a par with the King of Qin." Zhang Wenguan said, "But it's not wrong, they are indeed similar."

Zhang Wenxi on the side nodded slightly. It is true. He was also famous on the battlefield when he was young. King Qin solidified Guanzhong, Dinghedong, and captured two kings in the Central Plains. He is regarded as a famous general in the world.

"He Sui...you are lucky." Li Shan still had a gentle smile on his face, "Since Ashina Sheer returned to Wuyuan County, Gu has made up his mind that if he captures a general in the future, he will beheaded."

"But today, you can choose it."

Now Li Shan is more and more regretful that he didn't kill Ashina Sheer that day. He has a premonition that the first Ashina disciple he knew will bring him and Datang a lot of trouble in the future.

He Sui's body trembled, he already knew who the person in front of him was.

If Zhang Wenguan hadn't reacted to Zhang Wenguan's "Brother Huai" before, but the name "Ashina Sheer" finally woke He Sui up, and blurted out: "You are the King of Handan!"

Although he lived in Shuofang for a long time, Master Liang was attached to the Turks after all. How could He Sui not know the name Li Huairen? He knew it as early as last year when Yugushe was captured alive for the second time in the First Battle of Yanmen.

Last year, Jieli Khan’s whole country went south, and Liang Shidu was also ready to move. Unexpectedly, more than [-] troops could not break through the Yanmen Pass, and they were killed so badly by the Tang army. Khan abandoned the Khan flag three times and fled.

He Sui still remembers to this day that when the battle report reached Tongwan City, Liang Shidu sighed a lot. The Tang clan really produced outstanding people. After King Qin, there was Li Daozong, King of Rencheng, Li Xiaogong, King of Zhao Jun, and now there was Li Huairen, King of Handan.

"Do you want to die or live?" Li Shan seemed a little impatient, "If you are so loyal, then go to the underworld to fight for Master Liang first."

Wang Junhao on the side pulled out his long knife in good time and showed a ferocious smile to He Sui.

"Surrender, surrender!" He Sui responded very simply, and twisted his body hard, kneeling at Li Shan's feet.

Chang Da, Zhang Wenxi and the others all showed disdain, but Li Shan took He Sui with his own hands with a smile, and sighed: "Through the ages, the only one to die, but the Great Tang swept the world, just as the first emperor swallowed Liuhe, relying on There are also many heroes from the six countries."

What he said was a tact...Hou Hongtao glanced at the battlefield full of corpses, is this guy considered a hero?
"What Your Highness said is true." He Sui forced a smile.

Li Shan said a few words of consolation, and then turned to the main topic, "How about leading the army this time?"

"I took four thousand soldiers from Guyuan to the south, and fought several times, but there are still about three thousand." He Sui rubbed his hands and explained, "However, the leader of Jihu, Liu Nücheng, led two thousand cavalry to help, and now there are five thousand soldiers in total."

Hou Chen was the best at calculating accounts, and he said casually: "The original total was about five thousand, but hundreds of people in Huating County should have been killed in battle. Adding the nearly thousand here, there should be more than three thousand left."

Li Shan nodded slightly, thinking in his heart, more than 3000 enemy troops, this number is not big, but the key is not here.

"Master Liang sent you to attack Longzhou?" Zhang Wenguan was also keenly aware of the key point.

He Sui lowered his head slightly, "The Liang bandits sent troops south to test things out."

He knew that Liang Luoren went south from Jingzhou to Qizhou's Renshou Palace, but it seems that the Handan County King didn't know about it... He Sui thought about it, but still didn't dare to say it, anyway, he didn't go the same way with him, Not knowing is also normal.

If Liang Luoren succeeded, even if he didn't kill Emperor Tang, he might be able to capture a few key figures, and he might be able to exchange himself back... Similar hostage exchanges are very popular in this era.

Li Shan didn't have the ability to read minds, so naturally he didn't know what He Sui was thinking, and he only thought in his heart that he really came here to test things out.

Come to test, it means that there should be no reinforcements, and you may be able to do more things.

The fight has already started, and Li Shan has long forgotten the idea of ​​sneaking back to Chang'an or hiding in Renshou Palace, and completely put his mind on the land of Longzhou under his feet.
