Standing at the highest point of the camp, looking at the black and overwhelming cavalry from a distance, Li Shan's face became extremely ugly. He also said that he would not leave until the night. Before the night was over, the Turks were already in front of him before dusk.
Wang Junhao pursed his lips tightly and glanced secretly at Zhu Wei beside him... Zhu Wei glanced at Li Shan, who was still in a daze, from the corner of his eye.
Although he had heard about it a long time ago, he didn't expect Dalang to really have such ability... Zhu Wei swallowed. He had even scolded Wang Junhao privately a few words before. Why did Huairen conclude that the Turks would not attack in advance, so... …
Calculating the time, today is only May 14th, which is nearly ten days to half a month earlier than in previous years.
"But Yunzhou..."
As soon as Du Xiao said these words, Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche said in unison, "Definitely not!"
"There are often Turkic cavalry going south to explore, but there are never thousands of them." Zhang Shigui explained in a low voice: "What's more, Ashina Jishe leads the garrison in Yunzhou."
"Turkic cavalry often raids at the border, but they generally do not attack at dusk, let alone such a large group." Xue Wanche added: "Most Turkic people are night blind, and it is difficult to march at night, and they are not good at setting up camps."
Zhu Wei nodded in agreement and bumped Li Shan, who was still confused, with his elbow.
Li Shan finally came to his senses. Now is not the time to think about those things that may or may not happen. If the Turks attack, he will most likely be trapped in Guji Town and will not be able to return to Yanmen Pass. Otherwise, once he is overtaken by the Turks, he will be trapped in Guji Town. The cavalry can easily tear themselves apart.
The most important thing now is to establish the main general. I have no other choice but to support Zhang Shigui... I hope that this famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, there are not many outstanding people in Tiance Mansion who can stand alone, and the famous white-faced traitor in history, can hold on. situation.
Thinking of this, Li Shanli shouted, "Zhang Shigui!"
"Your Majesty, please obey your orders."
"You have full authority to deal with the situation in the camp." Li Shan took the long knife from Wang Junhao and handed it to him, "If anyone disobeys the military order, no matter who it is, you are allowed to behead them to deter the army!"
Zhang Shigui knelt down on one knee and took the long knife with both hands, "Yes."
Li Shan then took the monocular telescope from the guards around him and handed it to Zhang Shigui, "How many enemies are there?"
Zhang Shigui looked calm, took a few glances through the binoculars, and said, "The enemy has about three thousand cavalry. Should Yunzhou send troops?"
Zhang Shigui sounded suspicious, obviously asking Li Shan. The latter pondered for a moment and nodded: "It should not be the leader of the Yunzhou Association."
If Tuli Khan had no intention of breaking the alliance, even if the association led troops, it should not be thousands of cavalry going south in one fell swoop, but a small group of rangers should attack as a warning... For the details in this regard, Li Shan and Tuli The Khan and the association had an agreement that day, and there had been similar events in the past two months, and Zhang Shigui might have had a glimpse of it from then on.
"But the people stationed in the northwest of Yunzhou are the direct descendants of Jieli Khan." Li Shan whispered: "Brother Wu An, do you have any good ideas?"
"Northwestern Yunzhou?" Zhang Shigui thought for a moment, picked up the telescope and looked at it again, "Although it is not a long journey, the horse power is exhausted. We can first weaken the enemy's energy."
Speaking of this, Zhang Shigui suddenly stopped talking.
Li Shan turned his head to look at Xue Wanche without hesitation and shouted: "Where are Du Xiao and Wang Junhao?"
Before Du Xiao and Wang Junhao came out, Xue Wanche snorted coldly, "Su Dingfang is not here. Kill the generals, seize the flag, and charge into the battle. Who else can I give up?!"
Now in the camp, Li Shan has the highest reputation, but he is not actually in charge of the army. Zhang Shigui is the main general, followed by Xue Wanche... In fact, when it comes to charging the battle, Zhang Shigui, who once defeated Wang Shichong's 50,000 army with thousands of cavalry, is also a leader, but Against Turks, Xue Wanche has more experience.
Instructing Du Xiao and Wang Junhao to follow, Li Shan sighed in his heart. He didn't know whether it was just a small group of Turkic cavalry or the vanguard of a large army, but in any case, the battle had begun, and it was done in the most unexpected and uncomfortable way. Opening ceremony.
Tuli Khan asked the association leader to send a message that troops would be sent out in ten days... There was no need for him to lie to me. What happened?
Li Shan was even a little angry. He had vowed yesterday, but he was slapped today... Fortunately, Ma Zhou was not there, otherwise he would have been ridiculed.
The main general at Yanmen Pass is Su Dingfang. Less than half a year has passed. Su Dingfang has already firmly controlled the Daizhou Army. Daizhou Sima Zhu Yichen... Well, Zhu Wei has already reminded Li Shan that you should be called the second cousin.
Naturally, this cheap uncle wouldn't get in the way, and neither could Ma Sanbao. Zhang Gongjin couldn't reach out... Thinking of this, Li Shan glanced at Xue Wanche from a distance in Wengcheng, who was rushing towards the horse and waving his long spear. Fortunately, he brought this guy to Gu Market town, otherwise something might happen.
Zhang Shigui and others had already left. The enemy was attacking so quickly, and there were too many things to prepare. Only Li Shan and a few personal guards were left standing on a high place to watch from a distance.
Li Shan's desire to enjoy his suffering is not without merit... At least now, neither Zhang Shigui nor ordinary soldiers would doubt that they would be in a desperate situation without reinforcements.
Scanning the distance aimlessly, Li Shan didn't care too much about Xue Wanche's troops who had led his troops out of the stronghold. As long as this guy's brain was not broken and he was led far away by the Turks, with his ability and the strength of the Tang army's cavalry, The impact of the three thousand Turkic cavalry was impossible to defeat Xue Wanche... He was not even qualified to face him head-on.
Not to mention, Guji Town was built slightly higher and had a clear view. Shuozhou had a flat terrain with few hills. In addition, Xue Wanche also borrowed a telescope, making it difficult for him to be ambushed by Turks.
What Li Shan is more concerned about now is that the war has begun in Guji Town, and food and grass will definitely not be delivered. There are enough ordnance and sufficient troops, but the problem is that the food and grass may not be enough.
Originally, there were 1,000 infantry, 600 cavalry, and 500 civilians in the fort, which was about more than 2,000 people. The food and grass reserves were only for half a month.
But this time Li Shan went out to inspect Guji Town, and he brought all the guards around him. The guard battalion headed by Zhu Wei, Wang Junhao, and Du Xiao had nearly 600 people, plus the nearly 100 guards around Xue Wanche, a total of 700 people.
Speaking of which, there are only 700 people, but these 700 people are all cavalry... people eat horse chews, which consumes much more than ordinary soldiers.
Li Shan had a vague suspicion in his heart. Tuli Khan had sent a message beforehand, so there was no need to lie. The other party could not have known that he would go out to inspect Guji Town, so there must have been an accident.
So, if Jieli Khan launches a massive attack, how many troops will he have?
It will probably not be just about 50,000 as Tuli Khan said before... If there are too many enemies, not to mention whether Mayi, Yanmenguan and Guji Town can support each other smoothly, the food and grass in Guji Town will not be able to support too much. Long.
I can't help much else. I am trapped in the stronghold, with no news, and it is difficult to control the overall situation. But there are some things I can do, such as food and grass distribution, such as the wounded soldier camp...
While thinking about this, Zhu Shitou beside him suddenly whispered, "Uncle Qi!"
Li Shan suddenly looked down. Behind Xue Wanche, who was leading hundreds of elite cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy, was Zhu Wei, wearing Mingguang armor and holding a long spear.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
