Chapter Seventy-One: Turning the Tide

Pang Tongshan was already discouraged and was ready to commit suicide to apologize, but at this time, he suddenly survived in a desperate situation, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed, but when he saw the identity of the person who came, he couldn't help but be shocked, because the person who came turned out to be the Li Xian who had not been put in his eyes.

Behind Li Xian, there was a cavalry of two or three hundred people, although the number of people did not seem to be much, but all of them were full of energy and high morale, and they looked like an elite soldier.

And these sergeants Pang Tongshan also knew that they were the guards of the Zhou Palace, who were still training under his command, and the white-robed general closest to Li Xian, Pang Tongshan was also very familiar with him, because this person was the young general Xue Ne, who was sent to Li Xian's account by him a few days ago.

"What can a man do about this? Do they think they are as brave as Xue Rengui? In case this is for King Zhou to be accidentally injured by the enemy, how many heads do I have to make amends? Thinking of this, Pang Tongshan couldn't help but worry, and then shouted at Li Xian: "King, quickly retreat, this is not a place to frolic." ”

But seeing Li Xian snorted coldly and said: "Get out of the way, Pang Tongshan, you have to remember, this place is now blocked by the general, and the rest of the men and horses under the command of Er quickly occupy the arsenal, seize weapons and horses, and then come to support, if there is a moment of delay, resulting in the defeat of our army, see how many heads do you have to resist the crime?" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xian no longer cared about Pang Tongshan, but urged the war horse, danced the spear, and rushed directly towards the enemy general Jian Chun, who wanted to capture Pang Tongshan.

"No. The king rest assured, the last general will definitely rectify the people as quickly as possible, and then come to serve, this time I Pang Tongshan was saved by you, and in the future, I will go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and I don't dare to frown. Although he was a confidant of the Empress Wu, he also knew the truth of knowing the kindness of retribution, and secretly decided that he must repay Li Xian for saving his life in the future, and now he saw that Li Xian as a prince personally rushed into battle to protect himself and his soldiers, and did not dare to have the slightest delay, so he immediately led his troops to retreat, and ordered to go to the arsenal as quickly as possible to seize weapons and horses, and then lead the army back to support Li Xian.

In fact, Li Xian is more than ten zhang away from the general called Jian Chunmeng, and he has also heard some of the conversations between Pang Tongshan and Li Xian, and knows what kind of king the young general who is riding a white horse and wearing silver armor is, thinking that he must be one of the Li Tang Sect Master, if he can capture this person, maybe he can force the Tang army to retreat, if this is the case, how much credit should Mo Lizhiquan Nanjian give to his father and son?

Thinking of this, Jian Chunmeng couldn't help but get excited, and rushed towards Li Xian at the same time on his war horse, and said to the left and right guards who followed closely: "That Tang general is the general, and no one can rob me." ”

Jian Chun looked at Li Xian as if he was looking at a golden man, he roared and galloped wildly, and when the other party also rushed over, the steel whip in his hand suddenly smashed into Li Xian's back, ready to smash Li Xian down, and then capture him alive.

"Hehe, this person is so pompous, but it seems that he has never been on the battlefield, he doesn't know the danger of the battlefield at all, I am about to be killed with this whip, I still don't know, it seems that I should make meritorious service today, hehe, today I captured a king of the Tang Dynasty, and made a great contribution, I think my father will set me up to inherit his property and women." Jian Chunmeng was thinking about good things, while raising his whip and smashing it, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, in his opinion, if no one grabbed merit for himself today, his meritorious service would be nine out of ten.

But who would dare to compete with themselves? He is the son of General Jian Mucen, the young marshal of this army.

But what Jian Chunmeng didn't expect was that although there was indeed no one to compete with him, but the opponent he thought was like a timid little sheep suddenly showed his fangs and launched a counterattack against him, only to see the man sneer at him, he felt that the air around him seemed to be condensed, and couldn't help but shudder, and then he saw the man shake his hand, and saw a spear rushing over like a rainbow through the sky, and then stabbed him directly in the throat when he was defenseless, and then saw the man pull out the spear, Pierced himself in the heart again.

At this time, Jian Chunmeng was speechless, although he clearly felt the pain in his throat and abdomen, he never made a sound, because his vocal cords had been destroyed by that shot.

But Jian Chunmeng was not dead for a while, he clearly felt that he was lifted into the air again, and then saw that the man threw himself into the air again, he didn't know what it was like to fly in his life, and now he finally realized it, but after he experienced it for a while, he felt an innumerable stinging pain between his chest and abdomen and a slightly flustered sound, and then he realized that he had been thrown onto his own sergeant's spear, and the stinging pain just now was caused by his own sergeant's spear piercing his body.

"That Tang general is so fierce, I don't know who his surname is?" Jian Chunmeng just thought about this, he never thought about it again, and he couldn't feel the pain anymore, his dead body fell to the ground heavily, and he would never move again.

At the moment when Jian Chun died violently, only a loud roar was heard, and the Tang general who had stabbed Jian Chunmeng to death before rushed into the military formation, waving the spear in his hand repeatedly, stabbing to death a Goguryeo knight almost every time he swung it.

"The major general is dead, everyone run away." The Goguryeo knight, who was still domineering, saw that the general was dead, and the Tang general was as terrifying as death, and he was so bold that he shouted and fled in all directions.

But Li Xian didn't want to let them go at all, he chased after them wildly, and the knights behind him were also inspired to see Li Xian so brave, and they followed Li Xian and roared loudly to kill him.

Although this army only had more than 200 people, it killed the 2,000 or 3,000 vanguard battalions of the Goguryeo army that chased after them, crying for their fathers and mothers, and fled in embarrassment.

"Kill!" Xue Ne, who followed closely beside Li Xian, was not far behind, brandishing the spear in his hand, struggling to assassinate one enemy after another, although in the eyes of outsiders, except for Li Xian, he was the most murderous and brave person, but he still felt dissatisfied in his heart, just because he was half a step behind, he was preempted by Li Xian, and killed the pioneer general, and now the general is dead, leaving only these small soldiers, it is really not challenging for him, but even so, he can't lag behind in the number of enemies killed, Therefore, this is like a crazy assassination of the enemy cavalry, one is to increase the experience of actual combat, and the second is naturally to vividly experience the mystery of the marksmanship taught by Cheng Yanjin.

And Zhang Wuchen and Dou Xiantong didn't show how to show their bravery, they looked very ordinary, just casually killed the enemy who could threaten Li Xian, and then there was almost nothing else to do, mainly because for them, the responsibility to protect Li Xian was more important than any other, and for killing the enemy and receiving rewards, it was not appropriate to use their identity, Dou Xiantong's identity as a thief needless to say, although Li Xian forged the household registration of a Guanlong nobleman Dou for her, But this can't stand the investigation of people with intentions.

As for Zhang Wuchen, although his family background is innocent, but because in the Tang Dynasty at that time, in order to prevent the prince from colluding with the ministers of the court, there is a special provision, the subordinates of the prince's palace cannot serve for a long time, and now Zhang Wuchen is just an ordinary captain of the guard, but he will not be restricted by this regulation, but if he is made a general because of his merits, he will be transferred out of the palace, so Zhang Wuchen would rather not be noticed than leave Li Xian, so there is only one means, that is, not to make meritorious service, or less meritorious service.

However, Lin Cheng's idea is exactly the opposite of Zhang Wuchen, because he is the eyeliner sent to the Zhou Palace, no matter how he tosses, it is impossible to be transferred out of the Zhou Palace, even if he thinks about it, it is impossible, since this is the case, then he can only find a way to kill more enemies and make meritorious contributions, at least he can also promote his position a little more, if he can be the head of the palace, so as to grasp the power of the entire palace in one fell swoop, and even be able to balance Li Xian to a certain extent, what a face-revealing thing this should be?

Therefore, in addition to Li Xian and Xue Ne, only Lin Cheng performed the most eye-catching on the battlefield, this person's kung fu was not low, and later he practiced in Pang Tongshan's army for several months, and he was more handy in fighting, although the killing efficiency was lower, but he had already killed more than 20 enemy cavalry under the troubled waters.

Outside the arsenal, the battle was also going on, even more fierce than in the field, because the attack here was the 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Jian Chunnan, another son of Jian Mu Cen, but it was limited to a narrow geographical location, and the Tang army could still defend with danger, and Jian Chunnan could only lead the sergeants to gnaw a little hard, so that the advantage occupied by the Goguryeo army was not so obvious.

Of course, except for the dead soldiers who were defending by danger, the rest of the soldiers quickly received weapons and equipment at the door of the arsenal, and then quickly returned to replace those who were defending and low-grade the attacking enemy.

Although these resistances still seemed to be a bit difficult, they were slowly coming together to form a considerable force, because the re-equipped Tang troops were carrying crossbows and spears, and these weapons posed a considerable threat to the Goguryeo army concentrated in the narrow terrain.

"Hurry, faster." Although the situation seems to be a little better, Pang Tongshan knows that all this is because Li Xian and the more than 200 palace guards led by him turned the tide and blocked the main force of the enemy army, otherwise they would not even be able to get here, but Li Xian is just a child, do you expect him to be as brave as Xue Rengui? I can withstand it here, but how can Li Xian last too long?

Therefore, Pang Tongshancai was so anxious, urging the sergeant to act quickly, so as to free up some troops to help Li Xian.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the shouting and killing sound not far ahead, Pang Tongshan couldn't help but be terrified in his heart, closed his eyes and sighed: "King Zhou is dead, my Pang Tongshan deserves to die." ”
