Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 798 Defeated
Liang Jun's attack surpassed any previous one. In order to survive, the soldiers attacked frantically, almost disregarding life and death. Li Shimin personally went into battle to boost morale, but it was difficult to resist. He had to call in troops from other places to help, and also slightly delayed the opponent's attack.

Li Yuan stood silently on the boulder. He couldn't do anything now. Within sight, the reinforcements should have noticed the Liang army's onslaught on Tiantai Mountain, and quickly moved towards this side, trying to defeat the confronting thousand Liang army.

But this Liang army was quite slippery. Instead of choosing to face the enemy head-on, they kept turning to avoid, and even opened the way so that the reinforcements could point directly at Tiantai Mountain.

Although the elite Tang cavalry is invincible in impact due to its excellent equipment, it also brings a flaw. It cannot be compared with the light cavalry in terms of speed.

Hundreds of Tang cavalry tried to fight each other, even with a famous general like Zhang Zhongjian leading them, it was difficult to have a chance to fight. They passed by twice, and the opponent did not even hesitate to cut off their tails to survive and did not meet the enemy head-on.

Pei Shiju looked down at the battlefield on the mountainside. Although the defenders tried their best to resist, Liang Jun, who was desperate for life and death, had gradually captured the halfway up the mountain. If there were no accidents, Liang Jun would be able to break through the formation within an hour.

But at this moment, a trace of doubt arose in Pei Shiju's heart. Similar situations have happened many times... This refers to Li Shan who is on the periphery. So many times, he has been able to turn the tide, but this time?

Are you really afraid to go directly to the foot of the mountain to make a rescue?
The same doubts lingered in Ling Jing's mind, and he thought more about it.

Many strategists of the Tiance Mansion gathered in the corner on the right. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Ling Jing all had talents in military strategy, but killing the enemy before battle was not their specialty, so they could only wait here for the final result. Ling Jing looked at the distant battlefield hesitantly, pondering in his heart...it seemed a little weird.

If there is no accident, these hundreds of Tang cavalry should be based on Li Shan's personal guards. Ling Jing remembered that Li Shan had mentioned in his letter that he recruited refugees in Longzhou, and the leader of the army should be Zhang Zhongjian.

Indeed, according to common sense, Zhang Zhongjian would never dare to rush to Tiantai Mountain to clear the siege for the defenders when the back road could be cut off at any time, but this is not the case in reality.

If Li Yuan and Li Shimin died in Tiantai Mountain, not to mention whether Li Shan would be questioned, at least one thing is certain. In the confrontation with Pei Shiju, Li Shan would lose the initiative, and even suffer a crushing defeat.

Even if Liang Jun breaks through Tiantai Mountain, Li Yuan and Li Shimin may die, or they may be hijacked by Liang Jun to go north. However, like Pei Shiju, Yang Gongren, and even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui from Tiance Mansion, Liang Jun cannot slaughter them all.

This is likely to lead to a situation that is extremely unfavorable to Li Shan, that is, Li Jiancheng ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, but Pei Shiju survives and may even return to Chang'an.

But Li Shan's stagnation caused Li Yuan to fall into the hands of the thieves, and he might be questioned... At that time, without Li Yuan, without Li Shimin, would Li Shan be Pei Shiju's opponent?

Ling Jing knows Li Shan very well, he is a very thoughtful person, if he can think of it, he will not fail to think of it.

Considering these, Li Shan's best choice, or the choice of helplessness, should be to go straight to Tiantai Mountain. Even if the back road is cut off, relying on the impact of Tang Qi, he will definitely be able to go to the foot of the mountain...the possibility of relief The impact is not great, but at least there is a chance to replenish the defenders' strength, so that they have the opportunity to wait for other reinforcements to come.

"Pei Gong has a good manner, and he remains unmoved."

The casual words of Su Shichang, the military advisor of Tiance Mansion, turned Ling Jing's attention to Pei Shiju who had been silent all this time... Forget it, my life was saved by Huairen back then, so give it back to him at worst!

Ling Jing moved calmly and touched the dagger in his sleeve. Although he was over fifty, Pei Shiju was almost 80... Ling Jing was still sure.

Once Liang Jun attacked Tiantai Mountain, he knew this guy with a knife... At that time, there were not many people who knew the inside story. Even if Li Dewu or Pei Shuying told Pei Ji and Pei Xuanji the inside story, Huairen might be able to escape with the protection of Princess Pingyang. Passed a catastrophe.

The most important thing is that without Pei Shiju as the core figure, even if Li Shan is in a desperate situation, he may still survive.

Ling Jing, who was staring at Pei Shiju, attracted Du Ruhui's attention. The latter tugged at Ling Jing's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Not yet."

Du Ruhui was quick-witted, seeing fame and fortune, and saw through Ling Jing's thoughts at a glance. Fang Xuanling at the side also reacted. Enmity between.

Ling Jing's lips trembled, and he was about to explain... I was just preparing, not immediately, but before I could say anything, a burst of chaotic noise suddenly sounded.

Eldest Sun Wuji next to him turned his head pale and looked west. There was a side road up the mountain on the other side, which was guarded by Zheng Rentai, the general of Tiance Mansion.

The noise from the west was getting louder and louder, and the faces of the people in the middle of the mountaintop looked desperate. Li Yuan, who was still wounded, gritted his teeth and grabbed the guard's long knife, and more and more people came out, but before he could take a few steps, they swarmed The crowd gave way to a narrow path, and a thin black youth in soft armor came striding forward.

Li Shan knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, I..."

Li Shan stopped talking halfway through, and Li Yuan, who had already thrown away his long knife, grabbed him and hugged him tightly, "Huairen, Huairen..."

There was a choke in the words... Li Yuan had just prepared himself, he would rather die in battle than be captured, but suddenly there was a 180-degree turn. How could Li Yuan not lose control of his emotions?
Uh, this is also one of the reasons why Li Shan took the initiative to lead the team... As long as the reinforcements can appear here, it is impossible for Liang Jun to capture Tiantai Mountain.

Li Shan needs to be here at the most critical moment to get the richest fruit in this successful rescue operation that turned the tide.

Holding Li Yuan who was staggering a bit, Li Shan frowned and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is injured?"

"Arrow wound." Yang Gongren caught up and grabbed Li Shan's arm, "Have reinforcements gone up the mountain?"

Li Yuan managed to stabilize his emotions, "How did Huairen go up the mountain?"

"The one who crossed the river and climbed into the palace." Li Shan explained simply: "With two hundred personal guards..."

"Enough is enough!" Du Ru said in a dark voice, "I also invite the King of Handan to send his personal guards to fight."

Li Shan nodded, turned around and said: "Wang Junhao, Qu Silang, and Hou Hongtao led their personal guards down the mountain, and they all obeyed the orders of the King of Qin."

Some people haven't understood it yet, they just feel that there are only 200 reinforcements, which may not be able to stop Liang Jun's attack, but most people understand this truth... Two hundred soldiers appeared on Tiantai Mountain, this news will completely defeat Liang Jun Confidence.

Of course, Pei Shiju must also understand this truth. The appearance of Li Shan also broke his confidence.
