Chapter 137 one thirty six

The little school stood up and was about to deliver the order when he heard a shocking cry of killing from a corner of the camp.Jieli asked loudly, "What's going on?" A general ran in out of breath and said, "Khan, a large group of Tang troops rushed down from the Yinshan trail behind and entered the camp." Jieli stared He glanced at him and said: "Nonsense! How is this possible?" The general waved his hand and pointed behind him: "Look, isn't that the banner of the Tang army!" In the flames soaring into the sky, an unstoppable cavalry rushed straight towards his large tent of the central army. While throwing torches at the tent, they swung their spears and stabbed down the soldiers who stepped forward to block them. Soon, they rushed to the large tent of the central army. In front of the tent, Xieli's big banner was taken away.Jie Li said angrily, "Who is so bold to rush into my imperial camp?"

A general looked at the formation of the Tang army rushing in, and said in panic, "Khan, it seems to be Li Jing's banner. If it is Li Jing, then the main force of the Tang army must be coming, let's retreat quickly!" Jieli screamed hysterically: "No, I won't go, I'm still waiting for Li Shimin to kneel down and beg for mercy! Let the soldiers stop them! Take back my banner!" But no one listened to him That's it, because Xieli's subordinates have never seen such a brave Tang army. They are all well-trained warriors, and the spears in their hands are accurate and powerful. Anyone who stands in the way will die. It's a mess.Botie yelled at the guards on one side: "Help Da Khan on his horse! Get out!" Several guards rushed over, put Jie Li on his horse and rushed out.

On the battlefield here, Ashina Simo, who had captured Li Shiji's battle flag, looked coldly at his opponent dozens of steps away, and shouted loudly: "I have captured your battle flag, so why are you fighting this battle? " Li Shiji, who had returned to his horse, ignored his pain and pointed forward with his sword: "Look over there, your king's flag has been captured, how are you going to fight this battle?" Suddenly, I saw that all the soldiers of the Xieli Chinese Army were rushing around in the camp of the Tang Army, and the big banner in front of the big tent had also fallen into the hands of the Tang Army!Ashina Simo asked in surprise: "What's going on?" Ashina Zhong almost cried: "The Tang army came from the Yinshan trail and broke into Da Khan's camp of the Chinese army!" Li Shiji waved his sword and shouted: "Da The general has won, let's go!"

Encouraged by the news of victory, the Tang army rushed forward, but the fighting will of Ashina's cavalry was finally broken. The sound of killing engulfed the wilderness under the white snow, and Tang's victory banners were everywhere in sight.Seeing that the whole army was retreating, Ashina Simo looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's God's will! A hero can't save the grassland!" He ordered his 15,000 people to make the last charge, and then took advantage of the chaos of the Tang army, Alternate cover retreats.Seeing that Anasimo suddenly led the army to charge, Li Shiji was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the opponent was still so desperate at this time. He adjusted his deployment to block the enemy army. The river army got out of the gap and quickly left the battlefield.

Li Shiji sighed to Hong En: "If you want to retreat and advance, you can still command when you are at the end of the mountain. If he is the defender on Eyang Ridge instead of holding on to the arrow, we must be the ones who fail now!" These days, the lights in the Chengqing Palace were almost non-stop, and Li Shimin was anxiously watching the situation on the battlefield. He knew very well what the victory or defeat of this war meant to the Tang Empire.When the lights were on that day, he called Fang Xuanling to inquire about the battle situation that day. Fang Xuanling told him that the enemy and us were still facing each other under the shadowy mountain, and there was no new change.Li Shimin's face became serious, and while looking at the map, he said, "It's strange, the Flying Tiger Army should have arrived long ago." Fang Xuanling said with a worried face: "There was a reply from the other end of the cloud saying that this snow is amazing. Your Excellency is worried—”

Li Shimin asked: "Are you worried that the Flying Tiger Army will not be able to overcome the Yin Mountain?" Fang Xuanling nodded, and continued: "The two sides have been exhausted after so long confrontation. The balance on the battlefield is broken, and I am really worried about whether Li Shi can hold on." Li Shimin looked at the candlelight, pondered for a long time, and said, "Xuanling, you have transferred all the sixteen guards in the capital to the north gate. If there is no news tonight, I will personally lead my troops to help Yunzhong." The night was about to pass, and there was still no battle report, so Li Shimin decided to go to the army himself.Several eunuchs came in carrying a pair of armor. Ma Xuanliang put a helmet in front of Li Shimin. Li Shimin stretched out his hand and stroked the edge of the helmet, and said to himself: "I haven't worn this helmet for three years, and it's all dusty." " Then, looking at the sky outside the window, he asked: "Is the Imperial Guard ready?" Ma Xuanliang replied: "The formation has been completed at the North Gate of Chang'an." Li Shimin got off the couch and ordered: "Change clothes for me! "

After the fifth watch, Li Shimin put on his armor and went to Chengtian Gate.The door was slowly pushed open, and a dark crowd appeared in front of them, including Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Cen Wenwen. Li Shimin asked with a look of surprise: "Why are you here?" Changsun Wuji said: "Your servants, please follow the emperor's personal expedition." All the officials echoed in unison.Li Shimin looked at the ministers, with a look of excitement on his face, and he said in a steady voice: "My dear friends, you go back, my long spear hasn't rusted yet!" After finishing speaking, he left Pass the crowd and jump on the horse.Just as he was about to swing his whip, Changsun Wuji suddenly changed his expression: "Your Majesty, listen—"

Li Shimin stopped, opened his ears wide, and the front of Chengtian Gate fell silent, everyone was listening hard, and there was a faint sound of drums coming from a distance.Cen Wenwen showed surprise on his face: "It's the victory drum! It came from the north gate! It must have been played by the imperial guards." At this moment, the sound of the drum was getting closer and closer, mixed with the voices of the crowd.
