Chapter 780 If you don’t do something, you won’t die.
Su Dingfang drove his horse and looked carefully. Two personal guards were taking off the densely packed arrows on his armor. Liang Jianfang and Hou Junji on both sides were breathing heavily, looking at Su Dingfang with a hint of admiration.
The general lures the enemy, which is not something ordinary people can dare to do, but it is very like the King of Qin.
The incoming Liang army numbered thousands of horses. Su Dingfang knew after asking the scouts that if they were to intercept them layer by layer, it would not be enough to fill in all the bodyguards of the generals of Tiance Mansion, including himself and the thousands of Niu Guards.
The only thing we can do is lure the enemy deep, select one place to attack, and try to disrupt Liang Jun's deployment... There is no hope of winning, but at least there is a chance to cover Li Yuan, the concubines, the clan, and the courtiers to hide in Renshou Palace.
After only watching for a moment, Su Dingfang waved his hand to his guards to push him away, then used his legs to fight again.
Liang Jianfang and Hou Junji were not to be outdone. They were also known for their bravery among the generals in Tiance Mansion. They were slightly lower than Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong. Liang Jianfang once fought with Yuchi Gong in the battle of Hulao.
Seizing the horse greatly demoralized Xia's army.
In front of the Renshou Palace, Li Yuan personally guarded the door, and Li Shimin led his personal guards to suppress it, allowing thousands of people to enter the Renshou Palace in an orderly manner.
"Su Dingfang is indeed a talented general." Li Yuan looked from a distance. Although Liang Jun was still powerful, he was tightly entangled by nearly a thousand Tang troops and could not get away.
Li Shimin didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that Liang Jun had already fought here. He couldn't give up and could only give it a try... Su Dingfang might not be able to stop him. After all, the Qianniu Guards on the left and right were not like the other twelve guards.
, they were all killed from the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses. Relying on the elite equipment may be able to gain the upper hand for a while, but as time goes by, it is difficult to predict the direction of the battle.
At this time, Su Dingfang led more than a hundred Tang cavalry to go around and drill into Liang Jun's formation from the side. After a burst of heavy killings, Liang Jun was in chaos. Generals Zheng Rentai and Qiu Xinggong led their troops forward with all their strength, fighting with Su Dingfang in the formation.
Zhonghe soldiers in one place.
Li Shimin, who had been watching the battle situation, finally felt relieved. At least it would be difficult for Liang Jun to break the formation in a short period of time, and he had to rest before continuing. He turned around and said: "Father, please go up the mountain first, and I will lead my bodyguard to respond."
Li Yuan was a little embarrassed. He insisted on going down the mountain to return to Beijing, but his second son really guessed it. Fortunately, he didn't go too far, otherwise he would have been screwed.
But at this moment, Li Shimin's face changed slightly, he jumped off his mount, leaned over and listened carefully, "South?"
"Are they reinforcements?" Li Yuan looked overjoyed. Liang Jun went south from the north, and the troops coming from the south should be the Tang army coming for reinforcements.
Li Shimin hesitated for a while, and was about to send his personal guards to investigate when he saw a scout galloping toward him on horseback from the south, carrying a few arrows.
When he got close, the scout couldn't hold on any longer and fell off his horse, "Hu man, it's a barbarian!"
Li Shimin's expression changed drastically as he came in person. He gritted his teeth and glanced at the still chaotic battlefield. Could it be that Master Liang had come in person and actually sent barbarians to detour and attack together before the battle.
In fact, this was a misunderstanding. There were indeed more than a thousand Jihu people who followed Liang Luoren south, but unlike Liang Jun who took Renshou Palace directly, the Jihu people looted wantonly after entering Qizhou and went south all the way without fully obeying Liang Luoren's orders.
It was not until Liang Luoren discovered the traces of the Tang army that he sent men to urge the Jihu people to join forces. This coincidence led to more than a thousand Jihu people arriving on the battlefield at the most critical moment of the war.
It's about to collapse... This thought flashed through Li Shimin's mind. He had seen the enemy's collapse countless times, including Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, and later Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Liu Heitai, but he did not expect that
This kind of misfortune will also happen to you.
But the next moment, Li Shimin got on his horse, took the long spear from Yuchi Gong, raised it high above his head, and shouted sternly: "Yuchi Gong, tell Su Dingfang to withdraw immediately and escort His Majesty up the mountain."
"Everyone, come with me!"
Not far away, Li Yuan had extremely complicated and unspeakable emotions in his heart. Over the years, his most outstanding son had made many contributions to the country, but in the end, a gap gradually developed between father and son. But at the most critical moment, the one he relied on
It's still him.
Li Shimin led more than a hundred cavalry to rush south, bent their bows and set arrows, and shot down five or six barbarians in a row. Then he stabbed straight with his spear and took the lead in the formation. Qin Qiong, Li Mengchang, Duan Zhixuan, Zhai Changsun, Cheng Yao
Jin and other generals from Tiance Mansion shouted for peace and rushed in together.
When smoke and dust filled the air in the south, Liang Luoren knew that the opportunity had come. He organized his troops in the rear and prepared to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. The Tang army, which had been severely damaged, also knew that the situation was over, and finally could no longer hold on and began to rout.
Su Dingfang, who was scarred and brave, had nothing to do in this situation. He, Zheng Rentai, Liang Jianfang and other generals reluctantly gathered a few hundred soldiers and tried to retreat, but Liang Jun pursued and fiercely pursued Su Dingfang. Liang Luoren personally led his troops to stick to Su Dingfang.
Reluctant to give up easily.
Although Su Dingfang's hundreds of Tang troops have not yet collapsed, overall, they can no longer stop Liang Jun from rushing towards Renshou Palace.
Li Shimin's side was even worse. No matter how brave and invincible he was, it was useless. Although the Jihu people who attacked were only a thousand or so, these barbarians did not fight directly with Li Shimin at all. They bypassed and attacked Renshou Palace... They had already
You know, the Tang Emperor is in the Renshou Palace, and there are countless treasures and beauties in the palace.
There was a tragic scene outside Renshou Palace, and there were a large number of courtiers, concubines, and maids. Before they could hide in Renshou Palace, Li Yuan was so jealous that he personally led dozens of guards to fight. After all, he was the protagonist chosen by Que Ping. Over the years,
I have always liked riding and hunting, shooting down enemy soldiers with several arrows at critical moments.
However, more and more Liang soldiers came to kill them. Li Yuan saw with his own eyes that Chen Fu, the eunuch of the palace not far away, was chopped down by a barbarian. Yu Wenshi, the minister of the Zhongshu, and two Liang soldiers fought with long knives, with blood splattering all over their bodies.
"Father, go up the mountain, go up the mountain first."
Li Yuan kicked Li Yuanji, who was pulling him over, and picked up a long knife from the ground. Why didn't he realize that his son was so stupid?!
It would be better if he did not retreat. If he retreated, the Tang army would no longer have the will to fight and could only choose to flee in all directions, either to death or to surrender. The Liang army would surely break through the Renshou Palace. Could he still escape this calamity?
They could only defend the palace gate and wait for Erlang, while Su Dingfang gathered his troops to barely stabilize the situation and prevent Liang Jun from quickly attacking Renshou Palace.
The staff of Tiance Mansion who had already gone up the mountain were also anxious. Ling Jing was pacing back and forth with a gloomy face, cursing the emperor Li Yuan in his heart... Although thousands of Liang troops came to attack from a long distance, as long as they firmly defend Renshou Palace, they would have to retreat slowly.
, defend Tiantai Mountain, reinforcements will arrive in two days at most.
Ling Jing remembered what Li Shan said before, which was to comment on Yugushe... If you don't do it, you won't die!
In addition to worrying about Li Shimin, Ling Jing was also worried about Cui Xin, who had not yet gone up the mountain. He had asked Zhou Erlang to look for him before, but he didn't know if he could escape.
At this moment, Zhou Langzheng and Li Daoxuan who stayed behind protected Cui Xin and moved forward with difficulty. That is because Li Daoxuan still had dozens of personal guards around him. The incoming Liang army had not yet reached here, and those barbarians had not yet reached this point.
Not willing to fight, they just went to grab the belongings left in the carriage on the roadside.
