"This…"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were shocked. Didn't they say that they would first use the strategy of sowing discord to instigate a rebellion? Why did he attack right away?
"Your Majesty, this is the general's decree!"
However, before the two of them could say anything, Li Yuanba waved his drum and golden hammer, and his legs clamped onto the warhorse covered in clouds. The hooves of the steed began to jump rapidly on the ground. He turned around and roared,"Vanguard, listen up! Immediately follow me into the Turkic army and end the battle quickly. Kill those who fear the battle!”
"Yes, sir!"
The several thousand soldiers of the Great Tang vanguard, some holding shields and sabers, some holding spears, rushed forward.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui broke out in cold sweat.
They were civil officials. At most, they were planning in front of the battle. When had they ever charged?
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything.
The surging crowd forced the two of them forward. The army was roaring like a tsunami, and the horses neighed. The charge was about to begin. The battle finally began.
Li Yuanba's horse was completely black and had thick fur. It galloped like a cloud, and the sound of hooves could be heard.
At the same time.
The general of the Turkic army was stationed in the tent.
A dozen tall Turkic men surrounded a sand table and were discussing something intensely, all of them sporting thick beards.
A halberd stand and a platform were placed behind them. There were animal skins and crossbows hanging on the walls of the tent.
Jie Li Khan, who was in his forties, stood in front of the sand table with a long sword in one hand." Even though our army has surrounded Chang 'an, it is still difficult to conquer it. Now Li Jing is on the other side of the river.”
Jie Li Khan's generals were also not on good terms. After all, they had won over the leaders of the various tribes.
They naturally weren't as united as the Great Tang.
Because of this, when the 100,000-strong army approached Chang 'an, the historical Jie Li Khan was able to retreat because of Li Er's words.
At the end of the day, he was not confident that his soldiers would not flee after the battle.
"Report…"
Just as he was speaking, a messenger ran in from outside with a pale face. He rushed into the tent and knelt with cupped fists."Reporting to Khagan, the Great Tang army has suddenly charged at our army. The leader is the younger brother of the Great Tang Emperor, Li Yuanba, leading five thousand men!”
"What?"
Instantly, Jie Li Khagan's expression changed.""Leading five thousand people? Is this person crazy?"
"Five thousand soldiers will arrive immediately. Reporting to Khagan…"
"Retreat!"
Without waiting for the soldier to finish speaking, Jie Li Khan turned around and looked at the distance between the two banks of the Wei River, then looked at his own camp. It was incomparably huge, and he dared to charge with five thousand men. If this person wasn't a fool, then what was he?
5,000 people against 100,000 people could be eaten into tofu dregs in minutes.
"Everyone, follow me to battle. Behead the younger brother of the Great Tang Emperor to boost the morale of the army!”
Jie Li Khan drew his sword to welcome them, leading Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu, Tongluo and the other tribal leaders out of the tent.
The sky was already dark. In the barracks, the 100,000 strong army was in formation. Looking around, it was filled with burning torches, and the tents were pulled very far back.
After receiving the news of Li Yuanba's attack, the twenty thousand soldiers in the front line immediately went into a defensive position.
"Kill-"
The voices of the 5,000-man army filled the air. It was unknown where these soldiers had gotten their courage from.
In the darkness, Li Yuanba swung his golden hammer like a giant rock falling from the sky. With a boom, the earth shook and the hundreds of Turkic soldiers in front of him were instantly thrown off their feet.
Immediately after, Li Yuanba arrived on his warhorse. He bent down, picked up a 400-pound sledgehammer, and swung it forward.
Bang!
The wind of the hammer was like the grim reaper's hook, and for a moment, the several thousand Turkic soldiers dared not advance. The five thousand Tang soldiers had arrived, greatly boosting their morale. Their heavy shields became as nimble as bubbles as they stabbed with their Mo Sabers.
In the next second.
The Turkic army grew in number, and in just a few moments, they had surrounded Li Yuanba's five thousand men.
There were no formations to speak of, nor were there any formations or schemes. They could only kill by force.
This was the most clumsy method. Anyone who knew a little about the art of war would think that this was suicide.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's backs were soaked in cold sweat. The soldiers on both sides were filled with killing intent, and everyone was like a ferocious beast. The two of them didn't know what to do.
The frightened warhorses ran in all directions, letting out miserable neighs.
The horses of the civil officials had never been in battle before. The flames of war spread and they were frightened.
Jieli Khagan and the others were just a short distance away, and Li Yuanba was swinging his warhammer around, sending dozens of Turkic soldiers flying every time he struck. When he landed, many were dead or injured.
This was simply swatting a fly!
"Who is this person?"
Jie Li Khagan's excited expression froze, and he stood rooted to the ground, dragging his horse.""What powerful martial arts!"
"Khagan, this person is the younger brother of the current Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Jiancheng…Li Yuanba…"
"Li Yuanba?"
Hearing this, Jie Li Khagan suddenly said,""Wasn't he already dead? Why…did he suddenly appear?"
