"Didn't Ashina Sheer personally terminate the queen?"
"How come it collapsed so easily?!"
"The formation was actually broken by infantry?!"
"Trash, even worse than Jieli Khan!"
Hearing this fierce rebuke, people who didn't know better thought they were complaining about Ashina Sheer... Well, in fact, they were actually complaining about how useless that guy was.
Li Shan silently glanced at Xue Wanche, who was complaining. The last few hundred Turkic king's troops finally abandoned their weapons and surrendered under Shi Danai's persuasion. Zhang Zhongjian, Hu Yan, Xue Wanche and other generals led their troops northward, only to
Ma Sanbao, Li Keshi and Zhang Baoxiang were left behind to sweep the battlefield and eliminate the remaining enemies.
That's it for everyone else. Xue Wanche is the most dissatisfied. He only arrived yesterday and decided to fight today. Although he won a big victory, he was left behind and didn't get much military exploits... Running from Daizhou to Jingzhou made his legs faster.
If you run out of time but don’t reap the benefits, can you not complain?
Li Shan laughed and cursed a few words before saying: "After this battle, Brother Wanche and Brother Wu'an both stayed in Yuanzhou and had their own time to make contributions."
Li Shan had planned this before and asked Li Yuan for instructions. In fact, he wanted to use Zhang Shigui the most, but he had to transfer the prince's confidant Xue Wanche... In addition to himself, there were no other generals in this army.
There are no obvious factions among the direct subordinates under his command such as Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, Hou Hongtao, Qian Jiulong, Wen Yanbo, Dou Gui, and Hu Yan, but most of the generals and commanders below are former members of the King of Qin, so there is nothing we can do about it.
Zhang Shigui had always been cautious and only agreed, but Xue Wanche was beaming with joy. He had regained the three states and indeed had a chance to make a contribution... It would be better to follow the King of Handan to have meat to eat. Li Yaoshi's general Shuo was guarding the iron barrel array.
, this year the Turks came to test once but refused to come. Xue Wanche waited at Yanmen Pass until his hands were itchy and his heart was anxious.
Several partial divisions had already moved northward to support him one after another. Zhang Shigui specially sent 500 infantry in advance to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. Only then did Li Shan lead all the generals to go north together.
Su Dingfang sent several groups of personal guards to report back, and the battle went very smoothly, except for the slight obstruction in the valley. The Turks also tried to block it here. After all, there was a little space, and although they were defeated, they still had some strength.
As a result, Su Dingfang didn't even urge his heavy cavalry, and just in time the Mo Dao team who had collected war horses arrived. Kan Leng excitedly rushed forward and started chopping melons and vegetables. Another big rout occurred. When Li Shan arrived,
, corpses were everywhere in the valley, and purple-black blood gathered in the low-lying areas, which was shocking.
Dou Gui chuckled and said: "Next year it will be summer here, and the flowers will be in full bloom!"
What a killer, Li Shan is also speechless, flesh and blood grow, flowers bloom... This is a contempt for life. They say that they are similar to Dou Gui, but in fact the two people's attitudes towards life are completely opposite.
Dou Gui was indifferent, but Li Shan was just indifferent.
Li Shan stood aside and watched for a while, then continued heading north with an expressionless face. He suddenly remembered that when he was in the emergency department in his previous life, he met a Mongolian man. When he was brought in, he had a dagger stuck in his chest.
After a while, the person disappeared, just like the corpse on the ground, with an iron spear pierced through the chest, the corners of the mouth covered with blood, and the face was hideous and terrifying.
There were corpses and blood everywhere. Except for the Tang army, the only ones who could breathe were the horses abandoned by the Turks. They snorted or neighed a few times in shock at the thick smell of blood that filled the air.
As a former doctor, Li Shan never shied away from death. In fact, during the Shandong War in this life, many people were surprised by Li Shan's calmness and even indifference when facing death. But this time, Li Shan could not bear it.
This battle was much more brutal than last year's battle at Cangtou River. After all, there was no place to run... Ashina She'er was smart enough to face Li Shan who hated Li Shan so much that he was stupid enough not to retreat with his troops.
He set the battlefield in such a deadly place, although he was also forced to do so.
Standing by a small stream, Li Shan lowered his head and looked down. The flow of the stream was not small, and there was a stone bridge. But at this moment, the water under the bridge was blocked by corpses. The piled up corpses were almost parallel to the bridge deck.
The condition was so horrific that the infantry sent by Zhang Shigui in advance were struggling to pick up the corpses one by one with tow hooks and dump them on the roadside.
"Lang Jun!" Several cavalry came from the north, headed by Su Dingfang's bodyguard. "Lang Jun, the vanguard has left the main road. Zhao Guogong has stationed troops at the mouth of the valley and sent Duan Zhixuan and Feng Li to the west."
Li Shan nodded slightly. Su Dingfang knew his overall plan and there would be nothing wrong in presiding over the war ahead. His eyes fell on a mass of flesh and blood by the river.
Mo Dao appeared for the first time in the northern battlefield in this way. It was extremely powerful and invincible in front of the battle line, causing the Turks to suffer an irresistible defeat. In fact, most of the Turks died under their own swords, and even... that person on the ground
Tuan Du had lost all appearance and could only tell through his clothing that he was made of Turkic flesh and blood, which had obviously been trampled by horse hooves.
"The Turks will be seriously injured in this battle." Zhang Shigui said softly: "But I have asked about the soldiers before, and they are all direct descendants of Dubu Khan."
"Isn't that just right!" Wen Yanbo said with a smile, stroking his palms: "The two Turkic Khans, Ashina She'er is good at winning over people's hearts, knows how to advance and retreat, and has strategies. If we can't kill him in this battle, our vitality will be seriously damaged, and the Tuli Khan will be the leader.
It can be slightly suppressed.”
Li Shan smiled and said: "Ashna She'er is a man who has been able to submit to Jieli for many years and endure his anger. He has quite a majestic appearance. But Tuli Khan... is a wise man."
Wen Yanbo, who witnessed the sworn marriage between Li Shan and Tuli Khan in Jinlan, nodded in agreement. This evaluation was appropriate.
The Tang army had a reason to win this battle, and the Turks also had a reason to retreat. However, Li Shan did not feel lucky that such a result could occur. He saw through Ashina Sheer's motives and chose to make a decision at the moment when the Turks retreated.
made the most correct decision.
But Li Shan also had to admit that the Turks were so defeated because of luck. For example, when he made up his mind, it happened to be the time when the Turks were withdrawing their troops. For example, he used the Modao team, which the Turks had never seen before.
But these are no longer important. What is important is that after this battle, Wuyuan County is afraid of chaos again... The funny thing is that this situation was caused by Li Shan, but it was not Li Shan's plan. On the contrary,
It was Ashina Sheer who brought it upon himself.
No matter how close Ashina Sheer and Tuli Khan were before, and how they planned this battle... it was a foregone conclusion. The former was seriously injured, and Tuli Khan would choose to continue to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty.
Or should we turn around and deal with Ashina Sheer?
At that time, Li Shan mercilessly killed Yu Sheshe, almost cutting off an arm of Tuli Khan who was in trouble at the time, but the latter had not yet made the decision to form an alliance with Li Tang and sworn sworn sworn relationship with Li Shan.
?
As Li Shan commented, Tuli Khan is a knowledgeable person. In other words, he is a person who is easily swayed by interests.
