On the sixth day of the third month of the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, the sun had just risen on the Yenisei River, and the military bugle of the Tang Empire was loud and clear.
In addition to the Tang army guarding the camp, 200,000 Tang soldiers crossed the Yenisei River under Li Yao's command.
Li Yao placed all ten of them on the bow of the ferry.
As the Tang army crossed the river, they fired at the defensive line set up by the Uighurs on the other side of the river.
After nearly three rounds of artillery bombardment, the defensive line that Aiden had carefully set up on the other side of the river gradually collapsed. They did not put up any effective resistance and retreated one after another.
Thus, the Tang vanguard crossed the Yenisei River at a small price.
Just as the vanguard led by Li Guangbi stabilized their footing, Li Guangbi took the lead and charged towards the Uighur vanguard led by Aidenli with only his personal guards.
Li Yao was still on the ship when Li Guang Bi charged. Before he could prepare any support for Li Guang Bi, he had already charged over.
Li Guangbi's use of troops could be described in one word-swift and violent.
Li Guangbi seemed reckless, but he was actually quite crafty when he charged. He always led his elite cavalry to charge at the weak points of the Uighurs.
In addition, he was also a martial arts expert and was extremely brave. Therefore, such surprise attacks could often produce miraculous effects, or even miracles.
This time was no exception. The Uighur army, who had never seen the world, was already frightened by the dozens of cannons of the Tang army. At this time, they heard that Li Guangbi, who had swept through Anbei, had rushed over.
The front line of Aideng almost collapsed, and the situation on the battlefield instantly lost its balance.
Aidenli was still thinking of taking revenge on the Tang army, but he did not expect Li Guangbi to be so fast.
He couldn't even stop his defeated soldiers, so he retreated with his defeated army.
Although the front line had been defeated, the Uighurs 'central army was their trump card. Guli Peiluo Khagan had personally stepped out to stop the decline, and the Uighurs' front line had stabilized.
However, no one could stop Li Guangbi from entering.
Just as the Uighur army was in a tight formation, Li Guangbi suddenly turned his horse around and charged toward the left flank of the Uighur army.
Li Guangbi was like a god who had descended to the mortal world. He led his ten thousand light cavalry to the Uighur army like no one was there.
Generals have the heart to die, soldiers do not covet the idea of survival.
The Tang soldiers under Li Guangbi were also on steroids, and they followed Li Guangbi to crush the Uighur Left Army.
At this time, Li Yao's central army had just come ashore. He saw that Li Guangbi was fighting in the Uighur army and was afraid that something would happen to the young and reckless Li Guangbi. He repeatedly commanded loudly,"Don't worry about the formation! Charge! Protect General Li!"
Upon hearing this, the Tang Army, which was ready to attack, rushed forward like arrows that had left the bow.
The situation, which had been evenly matched, was now completely in favor of the Tang army. The Tang army swept through the Uighur army like a storm.
However, in the midst of this storm, the 100,000 imperial troops of the Uighur army still stood firm. They used bows and sabers to form a thick defensive line.
Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and the others kept attacking the front line, but they were either shot back by arrows or chased back by the Uighur cavalry.
Because they had been unable to take down the city, the Great Tang's offensive had begun to slow down.
Li Yao was also careless this time. She thought that after three rounds of her bombardment, the Uighurs 'morale would be greatly reduced like before, and they would be defeated by the Tang army like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Therefore, he only brought thirty shells for this decisive battle.
When the Tang army crossed the river, they had already finished releasing their weapons.
Now, even if they sent people to the rear, it would take at least half a month to transport them over.
Moreover, this thing could only be used once. Every time she fired a shot, Li Yao's heart ached.
He did not expect the Uighur Khan's army to be so tenacious. They were indeed the elites of the elites.
It was said that five thousand Uighur cavalry were equivalent to a hundred thousand Turkic soldiers, and now it seemed that these words were true. Their strength really could not be underestimated.
They had even begun to counterattack, and the Great Tang army was beginning to feel some pressure.
To make matters worse, the Uighurs who were previously repelled by them began to slowly fight back when they saw that their imperial army was still not defeated. Under the situation of pincer attacks from inside and outside, Li Yao's Tang army began to fall into a passive position.
Li Yao could only order her infantry to form a formation and finally stopped the Uighurs 'counterattack.
The two sides gradually reached a stalemate and stopped attacking.
Just as Li Yao felt a trace of danger and was thinking about countermeasures in the Tang army's formation, the formation surrounding the Uighur central camp took the initiative to open up.
It turned out that the arrows of the Uighur army had been used up. When Guli Peiluo saw that the Tang army had begun to stabilize, he realized that if this continued, he would be devoured by the Tang army bit by bit.
The Uighur Khan was also a good man. A good man would not eat the loss in front of him.
Guli Peiluo's messenger came to the front line of the Tang army and expressed his willingness to negotiate with Li Yao on the condition that Li Yao had to come personally.
"Your Highness, you can't agree!" The three generals under Li Yao said in unison.
"Your Highness, let me lead my men and charge again!”Li Guangbi said anxiously," Our infantry has stabilized the situation. As long as we advance steadily, the Uighurs will definitely lose!”
"Your Highness, the Uighurs are full of schemes and have ulterior motives. Your Highness, you can't trust me so easily!" Feng Changqing advised.
"But if this continues, even if we can defeat the Uighurs, our Great Tang will suffer heavy losses. Even now, I still can't forget the strength they displayed when they risked their lives in Yan Ran City.”Li Yao said calmly," Besides, this is the imperial division of the Uighur Khan.”
"Your Highness!" The three generals almost knelt down in front of Li Yao.
"It's settled then. I want all the soldiers to return to the Great Tang alive!”Li Yao said firmly," Vice-marshal Guo, are you willing to go with me?”
"Alright, I'll go with you." Guo Ziyi agreed.
Li Yao took out the commander's seal and handed it to Feng Changqing again.""Old General Feng, if Vice-Commander Guo and I meet with misfortune, you must take revenge for me.”
Li Guangbi and Feng Changqing saw that they couldn't persuade Li Yao anymore and fell silent.
"You're the commander-in-chief, so we can't say anything more, but we reserve our opinions.”Guo Ziyi said helplessly before leaving.
"Hey! Otherwise, why would Guo Ziyi be the vice marshal? Guang Bi, you should learn from your brother Guo.”Li Yao smiled confidently.
Just like that, Li Yao, who was not even wearing armor, walked with relaxed steps into the central tent of the Uighur Khan with Guo Ziyi under the cheers of the Tang soldiers.
