When the rumbling drums sounded, the fighting and bleeding battlefield fell silent for a moment. Countless people turned their heads to look, and countless people were speculating on what happened.
Ashina Sheer on the hill squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He knew very clearly that the Central Plains army advanced with drums beating and retreated with the sound of gold. The drums were also divided into small drums and heavy drums... The rhythm was so fast that they could not distinguish it.
The sound of such drums was the order for the whole army to attack fiercely.
Most people were a little confused, but there were also many people who guessed what it was the first time...but some people still refused to believe it.
"It seems that Li Huairen really realized that we were about to withdraw..." Ashina She'er pretended to force a smile, "But is it too late?"
This laughter was mixed with fear and fear that Ashina Sheer himself was not aware of, and Tuli Khan beside him was even more unbearable, his face was already haggard, and his lips were trembling constantly.
The high-speed galloping of three thousand cavalry swept up the yellow sand in the sky and blocked people's sight. However, it didn't matter. Soon, a large flag appeared in sight along with Tang Qi, who was the first to charge into the battle.
"Leading the cavalry to charge into the formation..." Hu Yan was dumbfounded as he looked at the Chinese army's flag, which was blown fiercely by the strong wind. Even the King of Qin was not so brave back then. At least he detoured from the flank and made a surprise attack from behind the formation. This man
Is the King of Handan so cruel?
Unlike Hu Yan, Zhang Zhongjian immediately shouted loudly, "Your Highness is here, Your Highness is here!"
After all, he was the old man who followed Li Shan north to pursue Jieli Khan... Zhang Zhongjian was excited but also thankful that he had managed to send Wang Junhao back. As expected, Lang Jun did not hesitate to go into battle himself at the critical moment.
Not only Zhang Zhongjian, Qu Silang, Hou Hongtao, He Fang and other generals with personal backgrounds all shouted loudly, but Xue Wanche, who had joined the front army, roared like thunder, wielding his sword from the left and right.
The Turks cut them down one after another like wheat.
The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted. Countless soldiers fought desperately while shouting for peace, although they themselves did not know what they were shouting.
The one who was faster than Zhang Zhongjian was Su Dingfang. After the drums sounded, he only thought for a moment and immediately drove his horse forward. Just when the Chinese army flag poked out of the yellow sand in the sky, just when the front army shouted loudly.
, Su Dingfang visited the front line in person for the first time today, replacing Duan Zhixuan and Feng Li who took turns charging into the formation, holding a horse in his hand, and personally acted as the forward, tearing a large hole in the Turkic formation with his brave and invincible charge.
Among the thousands of troops, as the king of the county, he personally charged into the formation, attracting thousands of people to cheer together and boosting morale. This was the greatest benefit brought by the general's charge into the formation in the era of cold weapons.
At the same time, the title of King of Handan of the Tang Dynasty brought intimidation to the Turks... This was something Li Shan himself could not have imagined.
Countless people have recalled the beginning and end of the battle in Guji Town last year, and countless Turks have remembered the figure of the King of Handan of the Tang Dynasty who rode alone into the battle in the battle of Yunzhou last year. They will not forget those two battles.
How many tribesmen died on the spot.
The most important thing is that Ashina She'er has gradually withdrawn the king's troops. Now there are only three or four thousand cavalry around the hill, and they are still desperately resisting Zhang Zhongjian's troops who suddenly attacked like crazy.
.
In a word, I have to admit that there is an element of coincidence, but I also have to admit that Li Shan's personally charged into the battle and hit the Turks' weakness squarely.
Ashina Sheer looked dejected. The direction of the war was in line with his initial judgment, but a small mistake occurred in a key part. After thinking about several battles last year, and through the analysis of this eight-day battle,
He always believed that Li Shan's strategy of attacking the Chinese army directly would not change.
But at the same time, Ashina Sheer also believed that it was unnecessary and impossible for Li Huairen, who had tens of thousands of troops, to charge into the battle himself again.
It seemed like this was just a small error in judgment, but the consequences were devastating. Ashina Sheer clearly saw the chaos among the king's soldiers at the foot of the hill, and clearly felt the panic of the guards around him.
As for Tuli Khan... he had already mounted his horse and was ready to run away at any moment.
"Don't panic!" Ashina She'er shouted, pulled out a long sword inlaid with gems, pointed at the guard holding the Khan flag, "Follow me forward!"
Even if Li Huairen charged into the battle in person, there would only be two or three thousand cavalry. As long as the situation was stabilized and the troops that had just retreated north were immediately transferred back, Li Huairen might be able to be trapped in the battle.
This kind of thinking... It can only be said that Ashina She'er is very confused. In the current situation, it is not said whether he can withstand Tang Qi's charge, but he will call back the troops that have withdrawn north...
...Even if his father Chuluo Khan is resurrected, he can't do it. Otherwise, how could Jieli Khan be defeated again and again last year?
"Khan, retreat, retreat!" Several guards rushed up to hug Ashina She'er who insisted on moving forward. One of them pointed to the battlefield on the east side, "There can't be any resistance over there. If the Tang army
Breaking the formation will cut off the retreat, retreat, retreat!"
In the battlefield on the east side, Su Dingfang mobilized all his troops this time, personally held the spear, formed an arrow with Duan Zhixuan, and Feng Li, and tore apart the Turkic camp with lightning speed, and constantly mobilized cavalry from the rear army, again and again.
Charge with sharpness.
There was no intention to fight, and they had already received the order to withdraw their troops. Faced with such a fierce offensive, the Turks could not hold on. When they heard the name of the King of Handan being shouted from the opposite formation, thousands of Turks finally couldn't hold on.
When it stopped, it was like a piece of loose sand that all collapsed and fled in all directions.
Under normal circumstances, Su Dingfang would drive his rout soldiers to break up the enemy's formation, but at this moment he didn't care about those rout soldiers. It was too late. He just kept heading north, trying to cut off Ashina She'er's retreat. If
If this Dubu Khan can be retained, the outcome of this battle will be huge.
After being desperately blocked by the guards around him, Ashina Sheer sadly discovered that the situation was really bad. If he didn't speed up his pace, he might really be captured alive again.
Obviously he has a large army, he clearly has the initiative, and a quarter of an hour ago he thought he might be able to get revenge in this battle. Even Tuli Khan did not cause trouble this time, and even followed him to cut off the rear. Why did the situation suddenly change?
What has become like this?
It's like climbing a high mountain. You've already touched the many bright flowers on the top of the mountain. If your foot slips, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but your own life may also be in danger.
This sense of loss on a psychological level made Ashina Sheer feel despair. It was really difficult for him to accept this fact... But it was difficult to accept but he had to accept it. Now was not the time to think about this, it was more serious to run for his life.
