"In this case, the Uighurs still don't know our actual situation. You take 7,000 people to bypass the foothills of the Helan Mountains and charge straight for their camp. I'll take 3,000 people to support Helan City.
Remember, don't linger in battle. When you see them returning to help, retreat immediately. This reinforcement was meant to defend the city. As for the close combat in the future, that was a matter for the future.”Li Yao said calmly.
"You only have three thousand? Once the other side knows your identity, how will your soldiers protect you?! No! I don't agree!" Guo Ziyi objected.
"My good brother! Don't worry! The key to this battle is you! The bigger the commotion on your side, the safer I will be!”Li Yao patted Guo Ziyi's armor.
" But..." Guo Ziyi still wanted to object, but Li Yao raised her hand and interrupted her." Big brother, you don't have to say anything. I'm the commander-in-chief. I'll bear the consequences myself!" There's no time to lose. Quickly take her away!”
Guo Ziyi saw that Li Yao had made up her mind, so she couldn't say anything. She only took off her golden soft armor and gave it to Li Yao. Then, she led her troops and set off without looking back.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her big brother, Li Yao could only accept Guo Ziyi's kindness.
After Guo Ziyi left, Li Yao called Qin Qiong out.
"General Qin, I will lead a thousand cavalry to charge first. You will lead two thousand cavalry to charge after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. We'll split up and disrupt the pace of the Uighurs 'attack to buy time for General Guo and Helan City.”Li Yao ordered.
"Yes." Qin Qiong said.
Li Yao would never have thought that it was this order that saved his life.
In fact, Li Yao, who was on the battlefield for the first time, was not confident. After all, she usually stopped when she looked for Qin Qiong to fight. When she really went to the battlefield and saw the smoke and the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, Li Yao could not help but feel a little nervous.
The battlefield was merciless. No one would stop at nothing. All the rules of the human world were ruthlessly broken on the cruel battlefield.
This was a place that did not care about humanity.
Li Yao couldn't help but hold her Plum Blossom Spear tightly. Back then, Huo Qubing had used this spear to sweep across the desert and defeat the Xiongnu.
Now, the new owner of this spear was about to use it to fight against the foreign races.
When Li Yao arrived at the battlefield of Helan City with 1,000 cavalrymen under her command, the defenders of Helan City were struggling to hold on.
"Unfurl the royal flag!" Li Yao shouted.
The flag officer obeyed and unfurled Li Yao's royal flag. On the bright yellow royal flag, there were four big words:
"King E of the Great Tang"
When the 1,000 cavalrymen saw Li Yao bravely unfurling the royal flag, they were all shocked by Li Yao's courage and immediately shouted.
"Brave forward! Protect the people! Today's battle will stain the yellow sand with blood!" Li Yao rode her horse and shouted as she ran in front of her cavalry.
"Kill them!" Li Yao shouted.
"Kill them!" Everyone raised their weapons and shouted.
"Warriors of the Great Tang! Charge!" As she spoke, Li Yao had already spurred her horse forward and launched a charge.
The 1,000 cavalrymen under him also spurred their horses to gallop.
It would be worth it even if he died to follow His Highness King E's charge.
Li Yao was even more indomitable. She rode her horse and raised her spear.
He charged straight at the commander of the Uighur army, Aidenli.
To shoot a man, you must shoot a horse first. To capture a thief, you must capture the king first.
The Uighurs were startled by Li Yao's sudden appearance, and their formation slowly began to fall into disarray.
However, Aidenli wasn't someone to be trifled with. After understanding the approximate number of Li Yao's troops and Li Yao's identity, he was overjoyed.
He hadn't expected that not only would he be able to conquer Helan City, but he would also be able to capture a King of the Great Tang. This was simply a great merit that had fallen from the heavens. After returning, the Uighur Khan would definitely reward him.
He urgently began to mobilize his troops and even called back the Uighur cavalry that had been charging at the front. Soon, they surrounded Li Yao.
The Uighur cavalry also obediently retreated and rushed towards Li Yao's thousand men.
Under normal circumstances, Li Yao's behavior was no different from hitting a rock with an egg.
Although she had caught the Uighurs off guard, once the Uighurs began to stabilize, Li Yao's situation would be very dangerous.
However, that was only a normal situation. This was exactly the effect Li Yao wanted.
The reason why he had to unfurl the royal flag when he charged was because he wanted the Uighurs to focus their attention on him and ease the pressure of defending Helan City.
Li Yao's confidence came from the 1,000 cavalrymen under him.
Although they had their own names, they all had a unified name-Wan Qi.
Ten thousand cavalry was the most elite cavalry of the Great Tang.
They were originally a troop that accompanied Tian Zi to hunt. At first, there were only about a hundred of them.
But as the Great Tang grew stronger, the original hundred cavalry had grown to the present ten thousand cavalry.
Not only were the ten thousand cavalry soldiers physically strong, but they were also skilled in martial arts. Moreover, the armor they were equipped with was of the highest standard and the most comprehensive armor. It could be said that they were impervious to fire and water, and were impenetrable by swords and spears.
Emperor Xuanzong's heart ached for his son.
Therefore, before he left, he deliberately gave up what he loved and transferred half of his ten thousand cavalry to Li Yao as her personal army.
Tang Xuanzong's original intention was to let the cavalry protect Li Yao.
However, he had never expected that his precious son would actually lead these 1,000 people into a den of thieves.
Facing the surrounding Uighur cavalry, Li Yao calmly pointed her spear at the Uighurs and charged at them.
