Li Chengqian's strategy was very simple. It was like cutting a cake. From south to north, from north to south, from east to west, from west to east, he went in and out of the Eastern Turkic army, cutting it into several parts and causing it to collapse.
In the center of the Eastern Turks, the two Khagan couldn't help but feel terrified. They immediately sounded the bell and retreated.
The Eastern Turkic soldiers had been utterly routed, both in terms of momentum and fighting strength.
When they heard the signal to retreat, the Eastern Turkic soldiers were like wild horses that had been released from their reins, like a flood that had burst through a dam. They charged back to their homes in the north, completely ignoring the retreating formation. The entire army was thrown into complete chaos.
At this point, how could they still pay attention to the formation?
If they paid attention to the formation, wouldn't they be waiting to be slaughtered by Li Chengqian?
The current situation was that those who ran fast could survive, while those who ran slow would be slaughtered.
Everyone was scrambling to escape, afraid that they would be killed if they were too slow.
Li Shiming and the other Tang generals stood on the high ground on the southern bank of the Wei River, feeling extremely happy as they watched the Eastern Turkic soldiers flee for their lives.
"Pass on my order. All soldiers, cross the Wei River and pursue the enemy!”
Li Shi Min ordered without hesitation.
There was a saying in the art of war that one should not pursue a desperate enemy. It said that if the enemy retreated in an orderly manner, one should never pursue the enemy.
This was because when such an enemy retreated, they still had quite a powerful combat strength.
If he were to chase after the enemy on impulse, it was very likely that he would fall into the trap set by the enemy.
But the Eastern Turkic deserters were all in disarray, like a flock of fleeing lambs. They had no strength to fight or resist at all, so they couldn't turn back or set up any traps.
The Tang army would use this opportunity to hunt down the deserters of the Eastern Turks. It would be like a one-sided massacre, killing as many enemies as possible at the lowest cost, dealing a fatal blow to the Eastern Turks and perhaps even annihilating them.
The Eastern Turks were like lambs being hunted by wolves. Anyone who ran slowly would be killed by the Tang army.
Even if they ran fast, their lives were still in danger.
This was because Li Chengqian's Ten Thousand Mile Cloud Cover was extremely fast and would soon catch up to the Eastern Turkic army.
Li Chengqian had been moving in four directions, splitting the Eastern Turks into countless smaller tribes.
At this moment, Li Chengqian was chasing the Eastern Turkic soldiers from the north and south, like a giant meat grinder, slaughtering them.
"Fourth brother, if you have the ability to capture the king, why don't you kill the two Eastern Turkic Khans!”
As Li Chengqian once again charged toward the southernmost point of the Eastern Turkic army, Li Shiming took the opportunity to run up to him and shout.
He had thought that the War God in front of him was Li Yuanba. After all, from head to toe, his weapons and warhorse were all Li Yuanba's.
"Imperial Father, don't call me that. I'm your son, Li Chengqian, not your fourth brother, Li Yuanba!”
Li Chengqian shouted at Li Shiming, then he rode on the Ten Thousand Mile Cloud Cover and followed Li Shiming's orders, charging towards the direction of one of the two Khagan, the Jie Li Khagan.
When Li Shi Min saw that the God of War who had descended from the sky was actually his son, Li Cheng Qian, he was completely stunned.
If this God of War was someone else, Li Shi Min would not hesitate to let him take the risk, but this God of War was his own son, so he did not dare to let his own son take the risk.
"Chengqian, come back quickly!”
Li Shiming shouted at Li Chengqian.
But in the blink of an eye, Li Chengqian had already charged into the enemy ranks, and he couldn't hear Li Shiming's shouts at all.
At this moment, Li Shiming was filled with regret. He was really afraid that something bad would happen to his son.
One had to know that Li Chengqian was only eight years old now. If something happened to Li Chengqian, Li Shiming would die of a headache.
If someone else was powerful and had monstrous battle prowess, they would be able to threaten Li Shiming's throne. However, Li Chengqian wouldn't. Li Chengqian would only protect his throne.
Right now, Li Shiming only felt regret. Why did he encourage his son to deal with the Turkic Khagan?
The generals around Li Shi Min felt a little uncomfortable when they saw the huge contrast between Li Shi Min's actions.
For others, Li Shiming ordered them to charge, but for his own son, Li Shiming wanted to protect him without any bottom line. This was a little too much.
Li Shi Min saw the generals around him looking at him with strange eyes and became furious. He roared at them,
"You bunch of trash, what are you still doing here? Go and protect Chengqian!"
After everyone heard this, they were even more speechless.
Li Chengqian was so powerful, why would he need their protection? At that time, it would be hard to say who would protect who.
……
The Eastern Turkic Jie Li Khagan felt extremely miserable.
He had allied with Tuli Khagan and led an army of two hundred thousand to charge toward Chang 'an. If they wanted to break through Chang' an and enter the Central Plains, they would have to sign a series of unfair agreements to benefit the Eastern Turks.
However, at this moment, he never expected to encounter such a situation.
Just as the Great Tang was about to collapse, a God had descended from the sky and slaughtered them to such a state. Jie Li Khagan truly could not accept this.
"Why? Why was that? Could it be that Haotian wants to destroy our Turks?”
Jie Li Khagan was protected by a large number of soldiers as he fled. He felt extremely sorrowful in his heart and could not help but howl towards the sky.
"It's not that Haotian wants to destroy the Turks, but I want to destroy them!”
Suddenly, a voice entered Jie Li Khan's ears.
Jie Li Khagan was greatly alarmed and hurriedly turned his head, only to see a figure charging at him at an extremely fast speed. On the way, it was as if he was chopping melons and vegetables, sending his Eastern Turkic elites flying.
