There is a saying that a person's name is like the shadow of a tree.
The name Handan Prince of the Tang Dynasty is difficult to say in other places, but it is definitely very loud on the grassland.
If we say that before Shandong captured Yugu Sheshe alive, it was just a small test, but then he went to Daizhou, stirred up the situation in the north, killed Yu Sheshe, and surrendered to Yuan Junzhang, which already made his name famous on the grassland.
The great victory of Yanmen and the second capture of Yu Gushe alive brought the name Li Shan and Li Huairen to a higher level in Wuyuan County... Of course, what really made this name known to everyone was Yu Gushe's suicide. , and Jieli Khan went south to avenge his son.
If the name Li Shan was only familiar to the big shots and the leaders of various tribes before, during the eight days and nights of attack and defense in Guji Town, the blood-stained young prince who fought to the death left a deep impression on everyone. impression.
Not to mention that just today, outside the Guji Town Walled Fort, this man chased Jieli Khan all the way, turning a war that originally had an advantage over the Turks into a 180-degree turn. .
Amid the roar, Guo Pu led his bodyguards to catch up with him to protect him, but Li Shan still moved forward bravely, seemingly not feeling any pain and without any pause. He had already passed Wang Junhao and Zhang Zhongjian and moved forward in the shape of a spearhead.
Li Kai yelled anxiously from behind, and Su Dingfang, who was calm and composed, couldn't help but feel wet on his forehead. But what was surprising was that with Li Shan's violent shouts, there was a commotion among the Turkic troops in front of him, and the Turks blocking Li Shan The cavalrymen turned their horses' heads left and right.
The Tang army did not retreat, nor did it move to the left or right sides. Instead, it attacked the central army with a fierce and brave attitude. It was exactly the same as the battle outside the Guji Town Fort. The face of Jieli Khan in the distance... From the beginning to the end today Finally, this person's expression changed again and again, but he never had a good expression anyway.
Hearing the man shouting loudly that the Prince of Handan County of the Tang Dynasty was here, Jieli Khan could clearly see that the army was wavering and his morale was greatly depressed. From the corner of his eye, it seemed that the sweat flag beside him was trembling slightly.
"She'er!"
"Ashina Sheer!"
Li Shan shouted wildly twice and accelerated his horse, but his mount tripped over the horse corpse on the ground. Li Shan, who was holding the horse spear, was thrown away and hit the side of a war horse, knocking both the horse and the man over.
Wang Junhao and Guo Pu had already caught up. Li Shan, who got up in disgrace, did not let go of the horse in his hand, dragged him a few steps forward, and threw it at Ashina She'er with his head covered with face.
Ashina She'er barely managed to block it twice, and dodged Wang Junhao's lightning-fast horse. However, he could no longer dodge Guo Pu's spear on the other side, and had no choice but to turn over and fall off his horse to avoid it.
Before he could stand still, Li Shan had already thrown away his horse and rushed forward. He remembered clearly that Zhu Ba's arm was cut off by Ashina She'er just to protect him.
The two rolled around on the ground several times. The Turkic soldiers on the side did not dare to fire arrows, let alone trample on their horses, and the Tang army was even more so. On the huge battlefield, both sides cautiously avoided this small area to fight each other.
A horseman suddenly came out from the side, slashed horizontally and vertically with the long sword in his left hand, and broke out of the encirclement. He held a spear in his right hand and controlled the horse with only his legs.
With a sharp shout, Zhang Zhongjian on the horse used his legs hard. The horse stopped abruptly, with his front legs hanging high. The big man's right hand accurately hit the shoulder of Ashina She'er who was holding Li Shan underneath. He exerted a slight force. pick.
Li Shan stood up and hit Ashina Sheer's temple hard with the elbow of his right hand.
When Li Shan got up from the ground and climbed onto the horseback with the protection of Guo Pu, and Ashina Sheer fell to the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead, the surrounding Turkic soldiers shouted in unison and fled north.
Jieli Khan stood expressionless under his banner and watched the battle unfold. He knew in his heart that although the Tang army seemed to be rushing forward sharply, the actual effect was difficult to evaluate. As long as the thousands of troops in front of him could stop it, even if they couldn't. Staying can also delay time... The two thousand cavalry on the left and right sides have completely cut off the Tang army's retreat.
Either the Tang army broke out of the formation, or they were trapped in the formation by thousands of Turkic soldiers.
After such a big battle, trumpets were sounded, the Khan's flag was set up, and guards and scouts were sent everywhere. There should be more and more troops gathered. Jieli Khan looked around, and was not surprised to see hundreds of Turkic soldiers galloping to the south on the right Come.
But the next moment, Jieli Khan's childish eyes narrowed. The hundreds of cavalry seemed not to come for help, but to ask for help. The sound of horse hooves gradually sounded, and the black line appeared on the horizon...
Damn... Jieli Khan only hated that the Tang army pursued so quickly and did not give him much time. If he knew that Li Shan was determined to pursue immediately, he would hate him even more.
But Jieli Khan did not give up, and sent his guards to mobilize troops, preparing to divide two thousand troops to the south... But before the guards had time to set off, the desolate horn sounded again. On the front battlefield, to be precise, the Tang army's retreat had been cut off. Behind the Turkic army, more than a thousand Tang cavalry were charging at high speed.
The rear army led by Zhang Baoxiang and Xue Wanche and the left army led by Liu Shirang and Xue Wanjun arrived almost at the same time.
Without even thinking about it, the next battle will definitely be a one-sided battle. Thousands of Turkic soldiers surrounded more than a thousand Tang cavalry. However, under the leadership of Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, and Li Shan, they are still attacking in the direction of Khan Banner. Although the speed is Slowing down, although casualties increased, it never stopped.
Thousands of Turks couldn't even trap the more than a thousand Tang cavalry, but they were stabbed in the back by the heavily armed Tang cavalry. Liu Shirang and Xue Wanjun on the south side even surrounded Wei to save Zhao. Instead of entering the formation, they went around and killed them directly. Towards Jieli Khan... to be precise, towards the Khan's flag.
In the battle of Guji Town, all the generals and commanders knew how Jieli Khan was hunted down in a panic.
Jieli Khan's face turned pale and he could not fight anymore. Su Dingfang and Li Shan were attacking at the Khan Banner inside, while Liu Shirang and Xue Wanche were sweeping in from outside, driving away the Turks who blocked the road, and went straight to the Khan Banner. Zhang Baoxiang and Xue Wanjun behind him were already cavalry. Break through the formation and enter.
Although there are still thousands of cavalry in hand, Jieli Khan cannot avoid the fact that the troops on the left and right flanks have surrounded and cut off the Tang army's retreat, leaving both sides empty... In other words, it will be too late if he doesn't run away!
So, regardless of whether he had no choice or not, regardless of whether he was selfish or not, Jieli Khan abandoned the thousands of subordinates who were still fighting in the formation and began his second escape today.
Xue Wanche led his troops to pursue north, while Liu Shirang led his troops to turn back, make an arc, and rush into the Turkic formation.
"Jieli flees north, Jieli flees north!"
Riots inevitably occurred, and the already unstable Turkic army collapsed immediately. This time it was not a collapse, but a rout, a truly tragic defeat.
Large numbers of Turkic soldiers were forced to abandon their horses and weapons and kneel on the ground. The fleeing Turkic soldiers were no longer in formation and were scattered all over the mountains and plains, and some even fled eastward.
The setting sun cast its last rays of light. On the bloody battlefield, Li Shan slumped on the ground leaning on something exhausted. There were more than a dozen long arrows stuck in the bright light armor on his body, looking like a hedgehog.
Li Kai, who had just fallen off his horse and was lame on one foot in the chaos, slowly approached, holding a flag in his hand. This was the third sweat flag captured today.
"Huairen?"
Li Shan didn't say a word. After a while, Li Kai discovered that his friend had fallen asleep. After a whole day of fighting, Li Shan exhausted the last bit of strength in his body.
Li Kai was silent and thought to himself, Huairen is really cruel.
Such a relentless and bloody pursuit, such a ruthless and ruthless way to break the formation, forced Jieli Khan to flee twice.
But fighting like this, taking the lead when rushing into battle, Huairen was cruel enough to himself.
It has to be said that Li Shan's military ability is hard to say, but today's battle made all the generals recognize a brand new King of Handan.
This is an out-and-out ruthless person.
