While Li Shan continued on his way excitedly, outside the bloody Guji Town, hundreds of soldiers who were left behind were cleaning up the battlefield... It was not troublesome. If he saw the Turkic soldiers who were not dead, he would chop them with a knife. When he saw the Tang soldiers who were not dead, he would
Soldiers, call for the guards to come to the rescue.
The only remaining general, Qin Wutong, felt a little regretful. He also wanted to follow the army northward to pursue, but unfortunately when he broke the formation, he accidentally fell off his horse and injured his left leg, so he had to stay.
Standing outside the city gate, Qin Wutong lowered his head and glanced at the ground covered with coagulated blood and could barely see the yellow sand and soil, as well as the flagpole broken in two. He picked out nearly three hundred corpses of Tang soldiers and soldiers.
But there were more than a thousand Turkic soldiers who accompanied them back to the west. You can imagine how brutal the war was.
Although Qin Wutong had experienced many wars, he couldn't help but said: "The King of Handan is usually gentle, but he is unexpectedly so brave."
Eight hundred warriors fought bravely out of the city, killed more than a thousand of the Turks' most elite kings' tent soldiers, shot down the Khan flag, and chased Jieli Khan all the way, causing a sudden change in the direction of the war... Such a war is enough to be passed down from generation to generation.
.
Wen Bang, who was on the side, had been busy for a while and had no strength. In fact, he rushed into the battle with the army and was wounded in three places. He leaned on the side of his horse tiredly and said with a smile: "Two days ago, the Turks almost broke through the city. His Highness held a knife under the city wall.
Attack and behead Guo Ziheng with your own hands."
"Today, I was trapped in the formation and could not advance even an inch. Your Highness rushed his horse to break the formation. When he fell from the horse, he still raised his sword and fought bravely. He shot down the flag of sweat with one arrow and was able to break out of the formation."
"Such a person, such a person..." Qin Wutong praised: "The King of Handan actually has such archery skills!"
Wen Bang understood Li Shan well, his cheeks were bulging, and he was too embarrassed to explain...
"In the Battle of Baibi, His Highness the King of Qin did the same thing. He personally led the cavalry to directly attack Song Jingang. After a great victory, he ignored the obstruction of the generals and led 800 cavalry. They did not dismount for three days and four nights, until they reached Yanmen Pass and recovered all the land east of the river.
Earth." Qin Wutong paused and smiled: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin was also in his late teens at that time."
Wen Bang did not accept this question. He was kidnapped by the Turks and sent to Wuyuan County for many years. However, after his return, he heard his uncle Wen Yanbo mention that the imperial court was now seizing his direct descendant Sun Lie. Qin Wutong did not know which party he belonged to.
After thinking again and again, Wen Bang stood up straight, took a few steps closer, and then whispered: "For eight days and nights, if reinforcements do not arrive, you will have to die at your own risk. Zhang Wu'an and Xue Wanche work together and are willing to live and die with His Highness. The last three
People are bound by friendship..."
Qin Wutong didn't say anything, only raised his eyebrows. He had heard about Li Shan's incident in Shandong. Originally, this was what he and Liu Shirang were most worried about in Mayi... If Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche didn't get along, Guji Town would almost be in trouble.
It breaks when hit.
Unexpectedly, they worked together and eventually became sworn friends with Jinlan... I was still thinking about this when I suddenly heard the faint sound of horse hoofbeats. Qin Wutong turned around suddenly and saw a scout galloping over, "The general manager of Daizhou is here."
Li Jing did not personally lead the cavalry to the north for a sudden attack, not because of cowardice. As the general manager of Daizhou, he needed to consider the overall situation. Although he was very sure that he could push back the Turks, he still had to leave a back-up... Once the cavalry suddenly attacked
Even if it didn't work, he had to retreat unscathed, so Li Jing chose to slow down the car formation.
But Li Jing did not expect that the war would turn in a direction he could not predict, that Li Shanqin would lead 800 cavalry out of the city to fight to the death, that the flag of Khan would fall to the ground, and that the Turks would flee.
Li Jing never expected that there would be no scouts to report back... Su Dingfang and Liu Shirang took all the scouts north with them in order to replenish their troops.
Waiting until the scouts released from the car array came to report, Li Jingcai led hundreds of personal guards to gallop over. The Turks had already fled. If they could succeed in pursuit, a great victory would be almost within reach.
But after arriving at Guji Town, Li Jing's face... was so distorted that he couldn't look at it. Handan King Li Shan actually dispatched troops and led thousands of cavalry to pursue him.
After waiting for so many days and withstanding so much pressure... Although I couldn't withstand it in the end, I unexpectedly produced ripe fruits. Unexpectedly, they were snatched away. Li Jing was so angry that he almost cursed in his heart!
What on earth do you want to do?!
In fact, a man like Li Jing, who had been an official since before the Sui Dynasty, would never have thought that the young prince was trying to get away from him!
Although he finally gave the order to lead the troops out of the fortress, after all, he did not personally lead the cavalry northward, let alone participate in the battle... That was fine, after all, he was the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army.
But if you go north to pursue the Turks without yourself... You can even imagine what the prince would say with your heels. The Turks fled. The governor of Yongkang County, the governor of Daizhou, stood guard in the chariot formation and moved slowly. He led thousands of elite cavalry alone, together with Zhang Shigui and Zhang Gongjin.
, Xue Wanjun, Liu Shirang chased the enemy Mobei...
What made Li Jing even more imaginative was that the prince had a deep foundation in Daizhou. He had unparalleled prestige among the military, powerful families and even the people. The fact that so many generals followed him north was proof that his direct relative
There are no nephews left!
What if he, the acting governor, wants to compete with me for power?
"Meet the steward."
Li Jing forced a smile and asked about the war in detail. After a moment, his expression became serious, and he waved his whip and said: "There are tens of thousands of Turks who are marching north. What will they do if they return and attack?!"
Qin Wutong closed his eyes slightly and said nothing. He defeated the Turks so smoothly. Even if the King of Handan did not come out of the city to fight to the death and shoot down the Khan flag, he would have been able to push back the Turks and relieve the siege of Guji Town.
Everyone is not a fool, and no one knows what Li Jing is planning now. He is counting on Li Shan to stick to Guji Town, consume the Turkic energy, and try to achieve a great victory... There may indeed be a great victory now, but it may not be Li Jing.
It’s all thanks to the pharmacist.
Tuli Khan wished that Jieli Khan would die in the hands of Li Shan. What good would it do to fight back... Wen Bang glanced at the silent Qin Wutong. He himself had not formally served as an official anyway, and he was a descendant of the Wen family in Taiyuan.
He took a step forward and said: "It is Tuli Khan who retreats north and will never return."
Li Jing sneered twice, who can guarantee such a thing... But the next moment, Qin Wutong sighed, "Jieli Khan asked the King of Handan for the death of his only son, and coerced Tuli Khan to go south to invade the country."
"And Tuli Khan signed an alliance with our dynasty a few months ago. We will not invade each other and we will fight against Jieli together."
Li Jing's expression changed, why didn't I know about such a big thing?!
Logically speaking, the acting governor was naturally qualified to know and should know, but when Li Jing took office, Li Shan was already trapped in Guji Town.
As for the person who knew the inside story, apart from Li Shan himself, only Su Dingfang knew roughly how he would inform Li Jing.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Jing led hundreds of his bodyguards to pursue him northwestward with a sullen face. Since he was splitting up his forces to pursue, as long as he could control one or two cavalry, he might still have a chance.
After all, his Daizhou General Manager and the generals on the expedition are all under his command.
