"Mona Yeli, the patriarch of the Tuyuhun Mona clan!”
Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Yuanba and said.
The Mona Clan was a major clan in the Tuyuhun, just like the Dugu Clan and the Dou Clan of the Great Tang.
Li Yuanba took a deep breath and looked at Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.""I'll leave Qiongying County to the two of you. I'll take the cavalry of the Left Yi Guard, Left Martial Guard, and Right Martial Guard. Remember, the two of you only need to guard Qiongying County. Don't go out of the city to fight the Tuyuhun cavalry.”
"What? What about you, Your Highness?"
Cheng Yaojin instinctively felt that Li Yuanba was going to lead more than 10,000 cavalrymen into battle.
"Eat those sons of bitches Tuyuhun Cavalry!”
There were 25,000 cavalrymen in Min Province. It sounded like a lot, but not all of them were gathered together. There was a portion of the city, and the rest were outside Min Province City.
He had more than ten thousand cavalrymen with him. As long as he did not fight these twenty thousand cavalrymen head-on, he was not afraid.
In the later generations, he was used to guerrilla warfare. When the enemy was stationed, he would harass, when the enemy advanced, he would retreat, when the enemy retreated, he would advance, when the enemy besieged, he would attack, when the enemy was tired, he would attack. These twenty-word mantras could be said to be the essence of guerrilla warfare.
Everyone in the future would be able to shout a few words. Li Yuanba knew that it was impossible to rely on the current infantry to take down these 20,000 to 30,000 Tuyuhun Cavalry. If it was snowing now and the Cavalry couldn't run, it was still possible.
However, it was July now. July was a dry month, and it was a good time for the cavalry to gallop.
"Your Highness, this is too dangerous. If anything happens to you, how are we going to explain it to His Highness the Crown Prince?”
Qin Qiong also had a worried expression.
"What could happen to me? Alright, don't worry for nothing. Just listen to me!"
After Li Yuanba finished speaking, he resolutely walked out. He had his own plan. Nearly 100,000 infantrymen sounded like a lot, but it was not enough to surround 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry.

Niu Jinda was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty and later the Great General of the Right Military Guard. Of course, that was something that happened later.
Now, Niu Jinda was the General of the Left Military Guards, second only to Qin Qiong. He was promoted to the right general later, and now he was the general of the left general.
As an emperor who was about to conquer the country, Li Shimin knew the importance of the army. After the incident at Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin took control of the Left and Right Military Guards in order to control Chang 'an and its surroundings as soon as possible.
His trusted generals were also immediately assigned to these troops. As for the previous generals, Li Shiming naturally promoted them openly but demoted them secretly.
He would give them an extremely high status and promote them. Then, he would place his generals in these armies and become the actual controllers.
Under such circumstances, Niu Jinda became the general of the left military guard and was in charge of controlling the 5,000 cavalry.
On the boundless plains, a group of cavalrymen was galloping. Li Yuanba led eleven thousand cavalrymen and twenty-two thousand warhorses, which meant that he was riding two horses.
"How many miles are we from Min Province City now?”
Li Yuanba reined in his horse and asked his bodyguard.
"Your Highness, there should still be about sixty miles!”
There was a big difference between the one li in the Tang Dynasty and the one li in the present. One li in the modern era was 500 meters, the standard 500 li.
In the Tang Dynasty, a mile was only 400 meters, which was dozens of meters less than the current 500 meters.
In the Tang Dynasty, sixty miles was equivalent to a distance of more than twenty kilometers in the present day.
"Let's go! Attack the Tuyuhun army in the west of Min Province!”
Li Yuanba was no longer constrained by passive defense. He did not like defense either. In his opinion, the ancient cavalry was like the armored troops of the later generations.
Whether it was cavalry or armored troops, their essence was offense.
More than twenty thousand warhorses galloped once again. In the dry July, after the large-scale galloping of the cavalry, all that was left was dust. Perhaps there was nothing left except for the dust.
········
Nashiro was a thousand-man commander under Mona Yeli, leading a thousand Tuyuhun cavalry. As a chiliarch, he had quite a bit of power. At least, he was a person with great authority in his cavalry.
Right now, he was galloping in the tent he had built himself. On the carpet on the ground, there were two women from the Central Plains who were looking at Nash's frontal lobe with fear.
The rough-looking Nash didn't care about the two Central Plains women's fear at all. In his opinion, the more frightened the Central Plains women were, the more he would be aroused.
Just as he was galloping, the entire ground shook slightly. As a person who grew up on horseback, Nash knew very well what caused the vibrations. It was caused by a large-scale cavalry galloping.
He pushed away the Central Plains woman in front of him, pulled up his pants, and walked out of the tent without even putting on his clothes.
The ground shook and the sound of horse hooves told him that a large number of cavalrymen were very close to him.
When he walked out of the tent, his cavalrymen outside were also looking for their warhorses in a panic. Nashifrontal lobe was running amok in his tent, and his subordinates were doing the same thing. They robbed women from the Central Plains and killed the people of the Tang Empire.
They had long forgotten their ancestral teachings-Don't leave your horse easily!
When they hurriedly found their horses and mounted them, the Tang army was less than a mile away from them, which was only three to four hundred meters away.
"Kill! Kill them all!"
A heaven-shaking roar came out of Li Yuanba's mouth. With his twin hammers in his hands, Li Yuanba appeared to be extraordinarily heroic.
Zhui Feng took the lead and became the tip of the arrow formation of the Tang army. He fiercely rushed into the Tuyuhun cavalry.
"Puff ~"
A Tuyuhun cavalryman was hit by Li Yuanba's hammer. He spat out blood and flew back for nearly 20 meters before landing on the ground. He rolled a few times on the ground and never got up again.
"Niu Jinda! A quick battle! Kill them all! I don't want captives!"
Li Yuanba shouted. Niu Jinda, who was holding an iron lance in his hand, didn't say anything, but his attacks became even more ruthless.
Tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty cavalrymen rushed into Tuyuhun's camp. Some of the Tang Dynasty soldiers lit up kindling and threw it directly onto the tents in the camp.
These nomads, who were used to living in tents on the grasslands, were not used to living in the houses of the Tang Empire. Therefore, they set up tents even when they invaded the south, which gave the Tang army a great opportunity.
