Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 799
On the top of the mountain, Li Shan supported Li Yuan and sat on a big rock. He turned his head and looked around. There should have been three main halls here, but now all of them have been demolished... It’s too tragic. It is said that when Renshou Palace was established, more than [-] people died. .

Although he was tired, hungry, and wounded, Li Yuan refused to rest, and sat down with Li Shan. Many important officials, such as Zhongshuling Yang Gongren, Shangshu Youpushe Xiaoyu, and the injured Huangmen servant Tang Jian , Zhongshu Shilang Yuwen Shiji, and Wen Yanbo sat down around Li Shan...well, Pei Shiju was sitting silently in the corner.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, more than an hour ago, Sima Lin Xingcan of Longzhou led [-] soldiers from Sishui to the south and arrived ten miles away from Tiantai Mountain." Li Shan reassured everyone before answering Li Yuan's question.

Li Shan and Zhang Zhongjian led six or seven hundred personal guards to help. Liang Jun tried to lure the enemy deep and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Zhang Zhongjian chose to avoid the side attack... In the choice of the east and west, Li Shan chose the west.

Just like Ling Jing's previous question, Li Shan also thought that if Liang Jun couldn't defeat him, he might attack Tiantai Mountain frantically at the last moment, trying to capture Li Yuan and Li Shimin to save his life.

This is why Li Shan chose Seomyeon.

Some time ago, Li Yuan set off from Chang’an to come to Renshou Palace to escape the summer heat. Li Shan was called to come here ahead of time and went around the whole Renshou Palace. It is a tributary of the Si River.

In the previous battles, Liang Jun lost nearly a thousand troops successively, and had to divide his troops to confront Zhang Zhongjian's troops who were standing still. The troops were no longer enough to fully control Renshou Palace.

Li Shan sent Fan Shiyi and other scouts to cross the river to check, and found that there were only dozens of Liang soldiers at the foot of the mountain on the west side. The army attacked Tiantai Mountain violently, and Liang Luoren concentrated almost all of his troops on the main road in the middle.

So, Li Shan asked his guards to search around, found a few small boats in the upper reaches of Dushui River, transported his guards across the river, climbed the city wall and sneaked into the palace, made a surprise attack, and easily killed dozens of Liang soldiers.

Li Shan asked Zhang Zhongjian to lead more than 400 personal guards to continue on the periphery, and he brought [-] personal guards up the mountain from the trail to support the defenders.

Yuwen Shi looked at Tang Qi, who was still on the periphery, and asked, "Huiren, who is leading the army outside?"

"Zhang Zhongjian is in command of the personal guards." Li Shan said solemnly, "Although he is Yuan Junzhang's former army, he was not used in any important way. Back then when Mayi reorganized the army, Zhang Zhongjian charged with a hundred horsemen and captured He Xiaodong alive."

"Later, Zhang Zhongjian served as Shuozhou soldier Cao Canjun. This man was the champion of the three armies, and he was also proficient in the art of war. He made great contributions in the battle of Cangtouhe."

"Another Su Dingfang, Wang Junhao?" Li Yuan said with a smile, "Does Huairen want to join the Ministry of Officials?"

"Your Majesty was joking." Li Shan was a little embarrassed, and there were small voices around him.

Li Shan was also a little bit interesting when he thought about it. The guards around him commanded the front and rear four people. The earliest Guo servant was the general of the Danyang family of the Li family in Longxi.

After that, Su Dingfang, who was in the third term, was named the Duke of the county, and Wang Junhao was also named the county male. It is estimated that Zhang Zhongjian may also be named the county man after this battle. Can be sealed, the title can no longer be mentioned, Zhang Zhongjian's title is reasonable.

But it's not really because of how good Li Shan's vision is, the main thing is that he took advantage of the traversers. In history, Su Dingfang, who destroyed the Three Kingdoms, captured his master, Zhang Zhongjian, the leader of the Three Heroes, and Wang Junhao were completely brought in by Su Dingfang.

Tang Jian, the servant of the Huangmen, suddenly asked in surprise: "Since this person made meritorious service last year, why did he abandon his job and join the Handan sect?"

Li Shan sighed, "This person was quite famous in the army back then, but he was only a small army leader, mainly because..."

Speaking of this, Li Shan hesitated for a while, Yuwen Shiji remembered, "Oh, is that the guard who accompanied Huairen in and out of Sinong Temple this year?"

Seeing Li Shan nod his head, Yuwen Shiji turned his head and explained to Li Yuan, "No wonder, that man has an ugly face."

Li Shan said solemnly: "It is true that his face is ugly, but if he is reused, his merits in the future will not be inferior to Su Dingfang."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, "Is Dai Guogong Wuliang?"

"Uh..." Li Shan didn't expect Li Yuan to ask such a question, and replied hesitantly: "Last year, Sui Chen was trapped in Guji Town, Zhang Zhongjian rushed from Mayi to Yanmen, and urged the Duke of Dai to send troops."

"Actually, Zhang Zhongjian and Dai Guogong are old acquaintances, maybe His Majesty has also met."

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that when he trained in Mayi and defeated the Turkic attack, the forward in the army was Li Jing, Mayi County Prime Minister, and Zhang Zhongjian might be under his command, maybe it was his old unit.

Li Yuan didn't ask any more questions, but he knew it in his heart. This Zhang Zhongjian was obviously reused by Li Shanjian. Resigned after the war.

Everyone on the top of the mountain relaxed after being tense, and the topic didn't know where it went. On the mountainside, the brutal fighting was still going on.

The terrain on the mountainside is slightly flat, and there is a large piece of flat land. The soldiers of the Tang army are resisting desperately, and the soldiers of the Liang army are advancing step by step. It's a pity that although Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong were around, they couldn't take each other's life.

During the chaotic battle, Duan Zhixuan, who was wearing several wounds, held a broken spear in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand. The spear head stabbed straight, the knife flashed, killing several people in a row, but it also attracted more than a dozen Liang soldiers.

Duan Zhixuan roared sharply, but was also forced to retreat, staggered, tripped over a corpse, and saw a long spear stabbing towards his chest.

Knowing that he couldn't hide, Duan Zhixuan twisted his face, and threw the broken gun with his left hand. The next moment, a crisp sound rang in his ears.

A long knife accurately cut on the tip of the gun, the sharp tip of the gun brushed against Duan Zhixuan's throat and deflected, while the thrown short spear accurately hit the opponent's chest.

A seemingly familiar figure flashed in front of Duan Zhixuan who was sitting on the ground, a burly man with a long knife in his hand, jumping over two fallen corpses, followed by dozens of fierce soldiers.

It's Wang Junhao... Duan Zhixuan recognized him. After all, since Li Shan went to Dai County, Wang Junhao has always been by Li Shan's side, never far away.

Out of the corner of Duan Zhixuan's eye, he saw that more than a hundred soldiers passed by the remnant soldiers who were almost dead. Hou Hongtao, who was at the front, brandished two sabers, shouted and rushed under the protection of shields on the left and right, Liang Bing's momentum was frustrating. .

Strength came from nowhere, Duan Zhixuan turned over and jumped up, shouting: "Reinforcements are here, reinforcements are here!"

In fact, Liang Bing at the front had already discovered that the hundreds of soldiers who had just joined the battlefield must be reinforcements. After all, after three days of fighting, everyone knew that the defenders were already exhausted.

But after the loud shouts resounded through the mountains, within a short period of time, Liang Jun's morale was frustrated to stagnant, and the riots spread rapidly.

Li Shimin leaned tiredly on the mountain wall, looking at Liang Luoren who was not far away, his face was ashen, but he didn't dare to go forward.

Although he knew that continuing to attack was the only way out, and although he didn't know where the reinforcements came from, Liang Luoren knew that he had no chance.

There are nearly [-] soldiers under his command. Although there are hundreds of Tang cavalry outside, Liang Luoren still wants to try...whether he can break out of the encirclement and escape back to Lingzhou.

After Li Shan led two hundred personal guards to reach the top of Tiantai Mountain, Liang Jun stopped attacking only two quarters of an hour, and began their narrow escape.
