In his previous life, Li Shan never counted on luck, because good luck never came to him.
Li Shan has always believed that careful planning, diligence and hard work are more important than luck.
In this life, Li Shan didn't have any good luck. With his wretched scumbag father and the Hedong Pei family standing in front of him... didn't he rely on luck to achieve his current status, not on himself?
In fact, in this battle in which both sides invested more than 200,000 troops, Li Shan was the one with the worst luck.
Unexpectedly, he was trapped in Guji Town, and his whereabouts were accidentally learned by Jieli Khan. Li Jing, the new general manager of Daizhou recommended by him, regarded him as a bargaining chip...
Even when he led his troops into battle just now, the crossbow attack deployed by Li Shan was not lucky enough to hit Jieli Khan.
But things are so strange. At the last moment, the goddess of luck lifted her skirt to Li Shan.
The long arrow shot diagonally did not fly straight in the direction of Jieli Khan, but went to the east, hit the tall flagpole without any bias, and accurately shot the rope.
Ashina She'er, who had just handed the Khan flag to the guard, was stunned to see the Khan flag hanging on the ground like a dead snake.
The next moment, Zhu Wei, who had the most experience in battle, shouted loudly, "Jieli kills, Jieli kills!"
The surrounding Tang soldiers were all greatly boosted in morale and shouted in unison, "Jieli kills, Jieli kills!"
Even the descendants of Daixian's powerful clan in Li Shan's bodyguard shouted loudly in Turkic language... There was chaos in the formation.
Ashina Sheer also tried to hang the Khan flag again, but Zhang Shigui, who finally saw a chance, was not willing to let it go. He immediately gave the command loudly, and the remaining hundreds of Tang soldiers, led by Xue Wanche and Wang Junhao, fought to the death.
forward.
This time, the solid formation was broken by one blow. The soldiers of the Turkic king who could not see the Khan flag were panicked and retreated continuously. Li Shan, whose shoulders were bleeding profusely, his eyes wide open, casually picked up a long knife, turned over and jumped onto Zhu Zhu.
The war horse brought by Wei followed Wang Junhao and charged wildly.
Behind him, Zhang Shigui's fingers had long been cut by the bowstring, but he was still holding a big bow. He rode his horse forward while firing several arrows. The guards who tried to hang the Khan flag were shot down by three people in succession.
Jieli Khan's face was livid, and he was about to charge with a knife, but Ashina She'er on the side turned his horse's head and said, "Great Khan, Great Khan goes first!"
No one expected that at the critical moment, the Khan flag was shot down, and the originally strong Wang Zhang soldiers were defeated so easily. It was a fact that the Tang army broke the formation. Even though there were still more than a thousand troops, it was too late.
The key now is that Jieli Khan cannot be allowed to die here. Even if he is chased by hundreds of Tang cavalry, as long as he can stay a little away, the Khan flag can be hoisted again and the morale of the army can be stabilized.
Jieli Khan, whose eyes seemed to be spitting fire, gritted his steel teeth, stared at Li Shan who was howling excitedly, and turned the horse's head back.
Xue Wanche galloped on his horse, his sword flashed, and the tall flagpole was chopped down neatly.
As soon as Jieli Khan retreated, hundreds of Tang troops were like dragons rushing out of a tight siege on a chessboard. Although their armor was broken, their physical strength was exhausted, and although their men and horses were exhausted, they still refused to give up and stared at Jieli Khan as they pursued him all the way.
The fighting between the east and west was in full swing, but such a strange scene appeared in the center of the battlefield. Hundreds of Tang troops were chasing and killing the enemy commander who had tens of thousands of elite troops.
Although the Turkic troops were superior, they did not have much advantage here. Zhang Shigui briefly observed the battle situation and commanded the cavalry to make a slight detour in an attempt to drive Jieli Khan to the northeast.
On the east side, the Tang army had a slight advantage, and Jieli Khan successfully merged with thousands of Turkic soldiers. However, hundreds of Tang soldiers who were pursuing him came to chase them regardless of life and death. At the same time, they shouted loudly, "Jieli kills, Jieli kills."
Kill!"
I can't see the sweat flag... Jieli Khan can't drag everyone and say, I'm still alive, right?
Thousands of Turkic soldiers were already destabilized by the charge of three thousand elite Tang cavalry. At this time, Zhang Baoxiang and Qin Wutong charged into the formation again. The Turkic army was in chaos, some heading north, some heading south, and some heading west.
Escape.
Zhang Baoxiang was overjoyed, so he rushed forward on horseback and successfully penetrated the Turkic army formation. Zhang Gongjin led the follow-up cavalry to press on and completely defeated thousands of Turks in front of him.
"Brother Wu'an!" Zhang Baoxiang came flying over, "Where is your highness?"
Zhang Shigui, whose thigh was slashed twice, was breathing heavily and had no strength to speak. He only turned to look at Li Shan, who was lifted off the horse by Zhu Wei and Wang Junhao.
Feeling a little dizzy, Li Shan stretched out his hand and tried it. His left shoulder was still bleeding, his ribs were stinging, he might have broken his ribs, and his back was cold. It was estimated that the bleeding had stopped.
"Langjun, Langjun!"
Li Shan straightened his body, pushed aside Zhao Da who was blocking him, and stared at Jieli Khan who was being driven to the north by Tang Qi... Although he couldn't see the person clearly, Li Shan was sure that that guy was there.
there!
"Huairen!"
"Huairen!"
Li Kai almost jumped off his horse and squeezed Zhu Wei away. The mixed emotions made the young man's face distorted. Within his sight, the Mingguang Armor on his friend's body was damaged beyond repair, and there were seven or eight branches stuck all over his body.
Long arrows and purple-black blood were everywhere, and it seemed that the armor was no longer bright.
Zhang Gongjin also rushed over. He breathed a long sigh of relief and lowered his body and said: "Your Highness, the governor of Yongkang County has led his troops out of the fortress and sent two cavalry groups on the left and right to come north for reinforcements..."
"Where is Su Dingfang?" Li Shan interrupted Zhang Gongjin, turned around and said: "Brother Demou, bandage someone's injury."
Guo Pu on the side had already started to wash the wound on Li Shan's shoulder with clean water, sprinkled it with medicinal powder, and wrapped it tightly with cloth.
"Su Dingfang, Xue Wanjun, Zhang Zhongjian, Liu Shirang are on the west side..."
Li Shan interrupted Zhang Gongjin again, raised his right hand and pointed to the north, "Who is that?"
"It's Zhang Baoxiang."
Li Shan stopped talking and waited for Guo Pu to bandage the wound. He gritted his teeth and stood up with his hands on the ground, "We can't let Jie Li escape so easily!"
"Your Highness!"
"Huairen!"
"Don't worry, Jie Li has already lost his courage!" Li Shan shouted: "The war is not over yet, so there is no need to say more!"
"Where's Zhu Shiliu?"
Zhao Daweng on the side said angrily: "Sixteen died in battle."
Zhu Shiliu was the guard leader trained by Li Shan. Li Shan gritted his teeth, turned his head to see Wen Bang, and pointed at him, "You stay to take care of the wounded, Brother Wu An, Brother Wan Che..."
Although they were exhausted, Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche responded loudly.
There were 3,000 people in Guji Town, but in the end, only more than 800 people managed to break out of the fortress with all their hands and feet. After a chaotic battle after charging into the formation, hundreds more people were killed. It can be said that the casualties at this point have exceeded 90%.
With so many lives and such a blood debt, can this be the end of it?
Could Jieli Khan be allowed to escape back to the grassland so easily?
Shaking Zhu Wei's hand away, Li Shan shouted sternly: "You can't die!"
"Bring the horse!"
Looking at Li Shan being helped onto the horse by his personal guards, Li Kai discovered that his friend had undergone a completely different transformation. The original Li Shan was gentle, elegant, and capable of making plans. Although he occasionally showed his edge at critical moments, overall, he had an image of a scholar.
.
But at this moment, Li Shan's eyes were fierce and murderous, his face still had arrow marks, and there were three or four long arrows hanging on his armor, like a blood-stained sharp weapon.
