"Soldiers of the Great Tang!"
"Whoosh ~"
The sound of a sword suddenly rang out. Li Yuanba pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed it at the sky."The world has yet to be pacified, and two hundred thousand Turkic cavalry have brazenly marched south into the Great Tang.
You kidnapped my sisters, killed my compatriots, and humiliated my Great Tang. If you don't kill me, I won't be able to take revenge. If you don't kill me, how can I uphold the dignity of the country?"
Li Yuanba's voice traveled far away in the wind. Even though the sun was scorching in the sky, Li Yuanba's face remained expressionless.
All the soldiers were affected by Li Yuanba's words. Anger was brewing in everyone's hearts.
"Let's go!"
The two simple words after the heroic speech indicated Li Yuanba's dispatch of troops.
The 60,000 cavalrymen slowly marched towards the north. Countless Chang 'an citizens looked at the cavalrymen with worry, blessings, and confusion about the future.
"Third brother! You must win!"
Li Shi Min looked at the back of the cavalrymen and thought to himself. This was all the cavalry of the Great Tang. If Li Yuanba was defeated, they would truly be defeated.
After Li Yuanba led 60,000 cavalrymen across the Wei River, they started to march north. They didn't stop until they reached Qingzhou.
It was already the 26th day of the 8th month. On the 26th day of the 8th month, Jie Li Khan's troops were already at the bank of Wei River, facing the Tang army across the river.
Last time, he personally led more than 100,000 troops to the south and wanted to take down Chang 'an of the Tang Empire. However, thousands of cavalry were killed in the first battle. In addition, there were rumors that there were more than 200,000 troops around Chang' an, so Jie Li slowly retreated in order to preserve their strength.
Later, he found out that there were no more than 200,000 troops around Chang 'an. Therefore, he led 200,000 troops south. His goal was to take Chang' an and plunder Chang 'an and its surroundings.

The Turkic tent was the tent of the Eastern Turkic Jie Li Khagan.
"What did the Han Emperor say?"
Khan Jie Li had a burly appearance and looked very rough. He asked in a rough voice as he drank.
Next to him was a youth dressed in Han Chinese clothing, and next to him was a middle-aged man dressed in greenish-gray Han Chinese clothing.
The youth was Yang Zhengdao, sixteen years old this year. He was Yang Guang's grandson and had been conferred the title of King of Sui by the Eastern Turkic Chuluo Khagan, the founder of the Later Sui.
Although he was only sixteen years old, he had the ambition and ability that did not match his age. He had always wanted to rebuild the Great Sui Dynasty.
The middle-aged man was called Zhao Deyan. He was Khan Jie Li's advisor. He was greedy and lustful. He was good at bootlicking, but at the same time, his knowledge was limited.
"Khagan, the Han Emperor didn't reply. Our people found that the Tang army had increased their vigilance. Should we attack now and kill all the Tang soldiers on the riverbank?”
According to the plan, Cheng Yaojin's Right Military Guards didn't return to the south bank of Weishui River. They were still stationed on the north bank.
In front of them were a large number of horse barricades, horse traps, and horse holes. In addition, there were also a large number of mines buried underground. This was Li Yuanba's first plan. First, he would weaken the Turkic cavalry, giving them the illusion that the Great Tang was at its wits 'end and could only rely on this to resist their attack.
Although the Jie Li Khagan and the Turkic barbarians might not understand, Li Yuanba knew that there were many strategists in the Eastern Turks. His strategists would definitely think so.
As such, Jie Li Khan would definitely increase the intensity of his attacks. Only when these traps had tormented the Turkic cavalry would they carry out the next step of the plan.
"Humph! Since the Han Emperor doesn't know what's good for him, then don't blame me. Mobilize 20,000 cavalrymen to attack the camp of the Tang army and kill them!”
Jie Li Khan's order was quickly carried out. The 20,000 cavalrymen began to gallop on the emperor's back and galloped towards Cheng Yaojin's right guard.

Gyeongju
"Your Highness, the scouts have reported that the Turkic cavalry are impatient. They will probably attack in the next two days!”
Niu Jinda was the general of the Hundred Cavalry Division, so most of the news was passed to him.
"Good! The Turkic cavalry has already begun their attack. Yuchi Gong, you will be the vanguard and immediately lead your men towards Shuofang. We will enter the Great Prairie from Shuofang."
Li Yuanba's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
"Yes, sir! I accept your orders!"
The big black face Yuchi Gong turned around and left. Soon, Yuchi Gong led his 10,000 cavalrymen to the north.
Meanwhile, Li Yuanba led the rest of the cavalry to the plains.

On the banks of the Wei River
The attacks of the Turkic cavalry were fierce, the battle was cruel, and the battlefield was bitter.
Even though countless Turkic cavalry had been forced to stop because of the horse traps, they continued to charge after filling up a path.
The battle on the front lines was very intense, and the reckless charge of the Turkic cavalry was almost too much for the infantry of the Right Military Guards. If it weren't for the Horse Repelling Pillars blocking the charge of the Turkic cavalry, the Right Military Guards would have been scattered by the Turkic cavalry.
"Great General! The Turkic cavalry is charging too fiercely, we can't hold them off!”
A soldier ran to Cheng Yaojin's camp and shouted.
Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold it in anymore. He strode out of the tent and looked at the battle in front of him. He pursed his lips and kept telling himself that it wasn't time yet. He had to wait a little longer.
As the battle continued, the Right Guards fell one after another, but at the same time, the Turkic cavalry also suffered heavy casualties.
In front of them, corpses had gradually piled up high, like small hills.
"Order the troops to retreat. Don't get too entangled with the Turkic cavalry!”
When the sky was about to turn dark, Cheng Yaojin suddenly shouted.
After that, the entire Right Military Guard retreated towards the south bank of Weishui River at an extremely fast speed. When the sky was about to completely darken, the entire Right Military Guards had already retreated to the south bank.
The Turkic cavalry had also charged into the camp of the Right Guards. They were like victors flaunting their might while searching the camp.
What they did not know was that there were many fuses burning on the ground around each tent.
"Have we followed the plan?"
When Cheng Yaojin had retreated to the south bank, Li Shiming strode over in his golden armor.
