While Youzhou Province was preparing for the war, Li Shimin, who was far away in Chang 'an, also learned about what had happened in Youzhou Province.
"Everyone, we have received news that the Turks have mobilized two hundred thousand soldiers to invade Youzhou! Prepare to head south to the Central Plains."
Li Shi Min's expression was not very good. When two tigers fought, one would be injured. Although he had won the fight for the throne this time. However, it was definitely not a safe and sound victory.
The Great Tang currently had less than two hundred thousand soldiers. A large portion of it was even used to suppress rebellions.
In this precarious situation, it was impossible for Li Shiming not to feel pressured by the two hundred thousand Turkic cavalry.
"Your Highness, our Great Tang no longer has any soldiers left. The only thing he could do now was to order the Youzhou Provincial Governor to defend the border as much as possible.”
"After the Great Tang is cleaned up, we'll immediately reinforce Youzhou.”
Li Jing said as he stood up. The Great Tang truly did not have any soldiers left.
When he mentioned the Youzhou Provincial Governor, Li Shimin thought of Yun Buhen. After all, this was not too much. He had not forgotten the person who dared to threaten him.
"Provincial Governor of Youzhou, if he can survive this, then I will write off the matter from back then.”
"Pass on this king's order. Have the Youzhou Provincial Governor guard the gates of the Great Tang for this king. If Youzhou falls, this king will not let him off.”
Li Shi Min had only become the Crown Prince and had yet to ascend the throne, so he called himself 'This King'.
"Yes, sir!"
The Great Tang had basically given up on Youzhou.
He really did not have the strength to do so.
Of course, Yun Buhen, who was far away in Youzhou, had never expected Li Shiming to support him. Not to mention whether Li Shiming still had any strength left, just based on the fact that he had offended Li Shiming in the past, Yun Buhen did not think that Li Shiming could let bygones be bygones.
On the pond in Youzhou City.
"My lord, look! There are two hundred thousand Turkic cavalry ahead!”
Yun Buhen looked into the distance and saw an army with a surging aura heading toward Youzhou.
Although they were in a mess, their bloodthirsty aura was still very terrifying.
This was the Turkic cavalry!
It must be known that although the Turks had declined by a lot, they were still in a state of decline. But in the Sui Dynasty, the Turks had been a superpower with a million cavalry.
A starved camel was still bigger than a horse. The Turks were still far stronger than the Great Tang.
Of course, that was only for the Great Tang. For Yun Buhen, the Turks were just average.
He had 100,000 elite cavalrymen, 50,000 Wei soldiers, and 50,000 other troops, making a total of 200,000 soldiers. In terms of numbers, they were on par with the Turks, and Yun Buhen was confident that the elites he had invested in the system would definitely be stronger than the Turks.
"Yue Fei, I'll leave this battle to you. You must give these alien races a surprise.”
Yun Buhen said to Yue Fei.
Yue Fei bowed respectfully and left. They weren't prepared to defend, but to crush the Turkic army on the battlefield.
If these two hundred thousand soldiers were all killed here, the Turks wouldn't be able to recover in ten years, right?
That's right, Yun Buhen's appetite was just that big. His target was directly locked onto this 200,000 strong army. He didn't want to repel the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers, he wanted to annihilate them!
The city gates opened, and two hundred thousand soldiers of Youzhou emerged.
The neat military appearance and imposing manner were shocking.
That was 200,000 people! However, these 200,000 soldiers were all silent. Other than the sound of footsteps and the sound of armor clashing, the battlefield was extremely quiet.
"Hiss!"
In the distance, Jie Li Khagan looked at the Youzhou army and couldn't help but gasp.
"What, what's going on? Didn't the Great Tang have no soldiers to use? But what was with this mighty army?”
"And it looks like it's a very elite force. What's going on?”
Clearly, Jie Li Khagan was stunned.
Before this, his eyes had always been on the pass and had never paid attention to Youzhou.
However, he had not expected that the strength displayed by Youzhou today would truly shock him.
After the two armies had assembled, they looked at each other from a hundred meters away.
On the Turkic side, the situation was chaotic. Although the aura was surging, for some reason, the pressure from Youzhou was stronger.
The soldiers of Youzhou, be it generals or soldiers, were all wearing ghost masks.
This was probably the specialty of the Youzhou army. Yun Buhen believed that on the battlefield, wearing a ghost mask would make the enemy unable to see the changes in one's expression and would give the enemy a great sense of oppression.
It seemed to be correct, because the Turkic cavalry seemed to be retreating as they looked at the Youzhou army.
"What an elite army. Is this the Great Tang's secret weapon?”
Khan Jie Li said in a low voice. He was very confident that he could even take Chang 'an.
But he had never imagined that he would encounter such a frightening obstacle before even entering the Great Tang.
