The Turks had repeatedly invaded the Great Tang's borders, and each time, they would bring endless disaster to the people on the border.
Now that Jie Li Khan was forced to retreat, he would definitely vent his anger on the innocent border people.
"Immediately gather the Dragon Cavalry and follow me out of the city to annihilate the Turkic cavalry!" Li Changqing ordered.”
Just as he was about to leave, Fang Xuanling stopped him.
"General, there must be a trap here!" Fang Xuanling said with a grave expression,"
"The Turkic army has already retreated for two days. If I were Jie Li Khagan, I would have sent troops to burn and plunder the border on the day we retreated.”
Li Changqing stopped in his tracks and turned to Fang Xuanling.""In Xuan Ling's opinion, Jie Li Khan has been looking for a suitable ambush spot these two days.
The reason why a small group of 1,500 cavalrymen invaded the border was to lure me into taking the bait. Once I fell for it, they would send out their army and kill me in one fell swoop?”
He was quick-witted, and although he couldn't compare to the top strategists, he could understand it with just a little bit.
Fang Xuanling threw out a point, and he instantly thought of all the things behind it, guessing the Jie Li Khan's plan.
"General, you're right!" Fang Xuanling nodded. Jie Li Khan is using the border people as bait to lure the general! This time, the general must not personally lead the troops out. He can let Su Dingfang, Qin Qiong, Li Jing and the other generals go!”
"Hahahaha!"
Li Changqing suddenly burst into laughter and said heroically,""Xuan Ling, you underestimate me! Jie Li set up an ambush for this general, danger is everywhere, how can this general let Medicine Master and the others go to danger for me!
I, Li Changqing, have dominated the battlefield and suppressed all the vassals in the Central Plains. I have charged into the enemy's formation alone and killed many of the enemy's generals!
If I want to leave, who in the world can trap me! Even if there are thousands of people, I will go! What did a mere Turkic have to fear?
This time, whether it is Jie Li plot ambush kill this general, or this general cut off Jie Li's head, XuanLing and quietly wait for news!”
With that, he galloped away. He led 1,800 Dragon Cavalry Guards who had recovered from their injuries out of the city and headed straight for the invaded villages in the north.
Li Changqing was arrogant and knew that 70 miles north of Youzhou were mostly plains and few deep mountains.
Even if Jie Li Khagan wanted to ambush him, he could only hide twenty to thirty thousand troops at most, otherwise, he would be easily discovered.
He was confident that with 1800 Dragon Cavalry Guards, he could kill tens of thousands of enemies and even kill Jie Li!
……
Seventy miles north of Youzhou, there were six or seven villages.
At this moment, one thousand five hundred Turkic cavalry were wreaking havoc.
Along the way, rivers of blood flowed in the villages and towns. Men, women, young, and old were all brutally killed.
The people at the border were once again facing a great calamity!
The full moon hung high in the sky. It was another fifteenth night.
Under the moonlight, the Turkic cavalry gathered around the bonfire, drinking and eating.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the sound of an arrow piercing through the sky could be heard.
The Turkic cavalry suddenly raised their heads, only to see a rain of arrows flying toward them.
Everyone was shocked and quickly found cover to hide.
After two volleys of arrows, more than a hundred Turkic cavalry corpses were left on the ground.
When they mounted their warhorses and wielded their scimitars, a group of Dragon Cavalry Guards in white armor charged forward.
In a single clash, these one thousand Turkic cavalry had been completely wiped out.
"Kill them!"
Suddenly, just as the Dragon Cavalry were slaughtering the one thousand Turkic cavalry, a dense army of Turkic soldiers emerged from the villages and low-lying areas.
As it turned out, the army that Jie Li Khagan had used to ambush Li Changqing was not hiding elsewhere, but in the villages and farmhouses that had been massacred, as well as the lower terrains!
With the help of the night, it was difficult to discover their whereabouts.
They gathered from all directions and surrounded Li Changqing and the Dragon Riders.
Jie Li Khagan rode his horse out, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Li Changqing and laughed heartily,"
"Little Li Changqing, you didn't expect to fall into my trap!
Today, you are surrounded by thirty thousand Tiger Masters, and you will not be able to escape even if you have wings!”
Li Changqing sneered and said mockingly,"Barbarians dare to use tricks? What a joke!”
Jie Li Khan was furious and scolded," You have a sharp tongue. I will make you suffer the pain of pulling out your skin and tendons. I will make your head into a wine cup!"”
With a wave of his hand, the 30,000 elite Tiger Division troops advanced.
With eighteen hundred Dragon Cavalry, Li Changqing faced off against thirty thousand elite Turkic soldiers without fear.
He shook the Heavenly Halberd in his hand and pressed his legs against the horse's belly, leading the Dragon Cavalry to charge.
1,800 Dragon Cavalry charged forward with a majestic aura. The pressure they gave off was not inferior to an army of 10,000!
This was especially true of Li Changqing, his sword-like eyebrows rising up as his killing intent shot out. His entire body radiated a majestic aura that caused the Turkic soldiers to tremble in fear.
The 30-foot-long Heavenly Halberd was brandished, bringing with it a terrifying cold light.
1,800 Dragon Cavalry, led by Li Changqing, formed a white spear and slaughtered the enemies in the midst of the army.
Wherever they passed, large swaths of the Turkic tiger army fell.
"Jie Li, don't run if you have the guts, this general will kill you with a halberd!”
Following Li Chang Qing's shout, the dragon cavalry charged towards Jie Li Khan.
Jie Li Khan felt a cold killing intent from Li Changqing's eyes. He also saw that Li Changqing was like a demon god on the battlefield, killing people as if he was mowing grass.
Wherever his halberd passed, severed limbs flew everywhere. The Turkic warriors were all dead, and very few people died with their corpses intact!
Jie Li Khagan was shocked,"He led 1800 people to charge into an army of 30,000. There is actually such a brave person in the world!"”
He hurriedly turned his horse around and sped away.
"Whoever kills Li Changqing will be conferred the title of Yabgu, and will be rewarded with a thousand beauties, ten thousand slaves, and thirty thousand taels of gold!”
"Those who injure Li Changqing will be rewarded with a hundred beauties, a thousand slaves, and a thousand taels of gold!”
The Yabgu was an official position in the Turks. They were only second to the princes and archdukes and had considerable power. He was no less than a first-rank official in the Central Plains Dynasty!
Once he killed Li Changqing, he would instantly go from an ordinary soldier to a superior person. From then on, he would be in a high position, below one person and above ten thousand people!
Even if he couldn't kill Li Changqing, he would be rewarded handsomely if he injured him.
The thirty thousand Turkic Tiger Masters were all flushed with excitement as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they charged at Li Changqing with all their might!
