Li Xian and Xue Ne and others were discussing spear and archery together. More than two months passed. On this day, Li Xian was still studying spear and arrow with Xue Ne and others as usual, but he didn't expect a
The army suddenly and quietly surrounded the camp where the army was located. At this time, the sky was just approaching Shen Shi. It was estimated that Li Ji's siege army had just launched the attack not long ago. This army neither gave Pang Tongshan any notification in advance, nor was it like this.
If someone approaches at a strange time, a person with a little common sense should know that the person coming is definitely an enemy rather than a friend.
And the fact is indeed the case. It was the 30,000 troops led by Goguryeo's general Jian Moucen who quietly approached the Tang army camp this time. It turned out that Jian Moucen was originally ordered to assist Xincheng, but according to Tanma's report, the one who besieged Xincheng turned out to be
There were nearly 100,000 troops, and it seemed that the new city was in danger, and it would be too difficult to rescue. So Jian Moucen came up with a vicious plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and led a large army to sneak attack on the Tang army's base camp.
"This strategy is indeed very vicious, because the battle in the past two days has been going smoothly. The enemy troops are continuously supporting Xincheng, but no one has ever dared to approach the Tang army's camp. This has also made Pang Tongshan gradually relax his vigilance, especially today.
In order to facilitate the movement of the army, not even the most basic defensive facilities such as horseback were placed.
In addition, Pang Tongshan was leading the army to conduct drills and was shouting enthusiastically on the school field, so no movement made by the enemy was noticed at all.
Although there was relatively little movement in the small school grounds, Li Xian and Xue Ne were having a heated discussion at the time and did not notice the approaching enemy troops at all. However, Zhang Wuchen, who had been on alert all the time, was not deceived. When the enemy troops were still ten miles away,
When he was about to turn around, Zhang Wuchen heard the intensive sound of horse hooves. He immediately thought of the reason, and his expression changed slightly. However, in order to prove whether his guess was correct, Zhang Wuchen cautiously used Qinggong to reach the flagpole. Only then did he see
The enemy's cavalry is coming like a tide from afar.
Zhang Wuchen, whose expression changed drastically, immediately slipped down from the flagpole, then jumped in front of Li Xian and said to him: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Enemy troops, enemy troops are attacking the camp."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Li Xian was still immersed in the experience of his previous exchange with Xue Ne, and his brain reaction was naturally slower, but his facial features remained sharp. Then he heard the dull sound of horse hooves, and then he knew
What happened? His expression immediately changed. He pulled Dou Xiantong and Xue Ne and said, "Quickly go, the enemy is attacking the camp. We must notify General Pang as soon as possible."
Only then did Xue Ne know what had happened, and he did not dare to neglect in critical moments. He quickly grabbed a gun in his hand, picked up two long bows, and took two barrels of bows and arrows, and then followed Li Xian to the West Campus.
Pang Tongshan, who was in the west school field, was still immersed in training at this time. In order to concentrate his manpower for training, he brought all the spies who should have been sent back to the school field. It was precisely because of this that he was so unaware of the enemy's situation.
Don't know anything.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Li Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but at this time he didn't care to say anything more. He quickly passed through the soldiers who were forming a square formation, came to Pang Tongshan, and then quietly whispered in his ear.
Tell him the news.
Although the military situation was raging, once Li Xian dared to speak the news out loud, it would probably cause panic in the military. That's why Li Xian so carefully reported the news to Pang Tongshan's ear.
It's a pity that Pang Tongshan failed Li Xian's good intentions and asked loudly: "I wonder what the chief manager said? There are many people here and I can't hear clearly."
Li Xian was helpless. Seeing that he had already seen the smoke and dust in the rear, he had to point to the rear and said to Pang Tongshan: "General Pang, please look at the smoke and dust in the rear. I think it is an enemy invasion. General, please deploy quickly to meet the enemy."
Pang Tongshan's expression changed, he followed Li Xian's hand, and then he laughed and said: "I'm afraid the general manager has misunderstood, right? This is clearly my siege army returning from victory, how can it be an enemy attack? How old is the general manager?
If you are young and do not understand military affairs, please do not interfere anymore. Otherwise, even though the general manager is a prince, he is also suspected of interfering in military affairs, which may be detrimental to the general manager."
"What do you mean by this?" Li Xian couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Pang Tongshan: "At least the general should send a spy to find out. How can you be so sure that the person coming is me?
The army and horses of the Tang Dynasty? What's more, according to past practice, it will take some time for our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to return to the camp. How can we return at this time? Even if it is true as the general said, our army won the battle, we should not send so many troops.
The cavalry is approaching quickly, so at the very least we should send out scouts to report the news, right?"
But Pang Tongshan was furious and said: "Huh, although the king is the general manager, he has no right to command us. I am responsible for the defense of the camp here. It is also my decision how to deal with it. Others have no right to interfere, let alone the big one."
The general manager is a prince, not even the emperor. Someone, please send the general manager back to the camp..."
Before Pang Tongshan finished his sentence, his expression changed again, because he also heard the dull and dense sound of horse hooves, and at the same time felt the ground under his feet was shaken strongly, as if it was an earthquake.
If one of his own people comes back, they will slow down when they arrive at the camp gate, not speed up. No matter how stupid Pang Tongshan is, he still has this bit of common sense, so he immediately realizes that what Li Xian said is correct.
.
However, he couldn't save the dignity to admit his mistake to Li Xian, and shouted to the people around him with a cold face: "Why don't you go quickly? Remember to protect the chief manager. If there is an accident, I will ask you later."
"No." Seeing that the general was angry, the guards on the left and right did not dare to neglect, and quickly asked Li Xian and others to leave the school grounds and go to the camp.
After Pang Tongshan thought for a while, he waved to the guards of the Zhou Palace who were training and said: "You and other soldiers of the Zhou Palace will follow the king to the camp. You must remember the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If anything happens to the king, you will
It’s hard to survive if you wait.”
The reason why Pang Tongshan did this was, on the one hand, to save face, and on the other hand, of course, he wanted to try his best to protect Li Xian. After all, this person was nominally the Tang Army's coach. Once something went wrong, the morale of the army would definitely be in chaos.
The situation, and as the beloved son of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu, if something happened to this person, even if he was a close confidant of Empress Wu, his somewhat fat head would still be chopped off.
After arranging Li Xian's affairs, Pang Tongshan mobilized his army to prepare to resist the invading enemy army. Unexpectedly, the enemy army had already rushed into the camp, killing people and setting fire to everyone.
The camp was completely destroyed. Since the sergeants left behind had no one to command them, all they could see were panicked and fleeing sergeants everywhere. The entire camp was in chaos.
What's even more terrible is that, for fear of causing accidental injuries during the drill, Pang Tongshan's army did not carry weapons such as spears, bows and arrows except for horizontal knives. In addition, they were all on foot, so they were attacked as soon as they came into contact.
When the enemy's cavalry attacked fiercely, the vanguard collapsed in just an instant.
"Quickly order, leave the forwards to cover, and the rest of the team will retreat immediately, go to the military supply office to collect weapons and horses, and then carry out resistance."
At this time, Pang Tongshan was no longer as calm as before. He immediately grabbed a messenger and shouted loudly.
Seeing that the general was angry, the messenger immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, waved the flag in his hand a few times, and then retreated into the camp along with the large army.
The soldiers in the vanguard were in bad luck. They would die if they resisted now, and if they didn't resist, they would die. However, due to military law, they had to draw their swords and use their flesh and blood to form a human wall to block the enemy's attack.
Iron cavalry.
However, facing the enemy's cavalry, they were already at a numerical disadvantage and met the fate of being massacred one-sidedly. The soldiers who were still vigorous and vigorous before were instantly pierced by the enemy's spears and horses.
After falling down, he was trampled by the enemy's horse hooves, but he was unable to die for a while. The screams were endless, and it was simply a scene of hell on earth.
Although Pang Tongshan also saw this scene, he didn't care about it at this time. If he could hold the camp, even if some people were killed or injured, he would not be punished. At most, he would be given some compensation. But if the camp
If he loses it, he may be dismissed from his post or put to death in the worst case.
Therefore, Pang Tongshan ignored the expectant looks of the soldiers and resolutely turned around and went to the military supply office, preparing to obtain weapons and horses before fighting the enemy to the death.
However, at this time, the enemy army was like maggots on the tarsal bones, which could not be shaken off. Their horses rushed over directly on the bodies of the forward soldiers of the Tang Army. Not only that, they also continued to attack the retreating team, making this team
The team that had no intention of fighting became even more scattered. If the enemy was allowed to charge for a while, I believe that even if these soldiers all armed themselves with weapons and mounted horses, they would never be able to reverse the subsequent defeat.
"Charge, charge forward, and be sure to withstand the enemy's attack. Anyone who died fighting for our Tang Dynasty will definitely apply for a generous reward from the court. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy." Pang Tongshan was now like a madman,
He yelled at the top of his lungs, not caring whether the soldiers in front heard him or not.
"Kill, kill." I saw the sound of horse hooves. An enemy general was riding on horseback, holding a horse spear, laughing and rushing forward. The horse's hoof trampled the arm of a soldier. Listening to the
The soldiers screamed loudly, but laughed heartily. Then they waved their horses and killed five or six soldiers. Then they rode over, pointed at Pang Tongshan and said: "That Tang barbarian, is he a barbarian general? Don't leave today."
Now, just be your prisoner, Master Jianchunmeng."
"Oh, I am destined to die. Rather than being a prisoner in the hands of that thief, it would be better to commit suicide, so as not to be humiliated in the hands of that fellow." Pang Tongshan gave a bitter smile, raised the knife in his hand, and wanted to commit suicide.
At this time, I suddenly heard a voice not far away from me saying: "Stop, my sword of the Tang Dynasty only kills thieves, not myself." Then he saw a man passing by on horseback, and he picked him up casually, and then
The sergeant who was thrown behind was among them.
