"Not good! Khan! Li Shi Min's army was pressing forward! We're being attacked from both sides! If they didn't retreat now, it would be really dangerous!!”Bo Tie anxiously pulled Jie Li's reins and shouted.
"Khagan! As long as there was life, there was hope! As long as you are here, there is no need to worry about not being able to conquer the Central Plains!”
"Khagan! If something happens to the Khagan, our Turkic tribes will fall apart. At that time, how can we be a match for Li Shimin? Tuli and the others wished that the Khagan would fight them to the death so that they could reap the benefits later! Khan! Retreat!"
"Khagan! Your safety is related to the rise and fall of the Turks, nothing must happen to you!”
A group of Jie Li's trusted aides came forward to advise anxiously.
Jie Li stared fixedly at the purple armored general who was charging left and right, getting braver as the battle progressed, his heart was filled with anger!
In the current situation, although there was no point in continuing to fight, it was far from the point where Jie Li had lost!
As time passed, the scale of victory gradually tilted in his favor!
"What are you panicking about? In front of our grassland cavalry, the soldiers of the Central Plains are simply unable to withstand a single blow!”Jie Li stood unmoving in front of the flag of the central army, not caring about the advice of Bo Tie and the others. His face was calm, he was not angry,"Chuluo Marquis! You will lead 30,000 cavalry to fight Li Shi Min! Beat Li Shi Min's army back!”
"Yes, sir!" Chu Luohou, the trusted general of Jie Li who had been respectfully waiting beside Jie Li, responded loudly. He rode his horse and whipped his whip, leading his thirty thousand cavalry to charge towards the sixteen guards who were crossing the river.
"Watch carefully! Let's see how the cavalry of the grasslands can fight against ten!”Jie Li's tall and sturdy body stood straight, his face was not angry but imposing, naturally exuding the majesty of a grassland overlord!
"Don't look at how menacing the Yan Liao cavalry is, but there are only forty thousand of them. How can they compare to the hundred thousand elite soldiers of our Turks?! Just wait and see, before long, this Yan Liao cavalry would be completely annihilated!”
Jie Li's calmness was like a calming pill, instantly calming down the restless chieftains.
"Kill!" Intense battle cries sounded on the Weishui River. The cavalry of Jie Li's frontline army and Li Shimin's 16 guards clashed heavily.
Li Shi Min was not wrong. Jie Li's thirty thousand cavalry was actually on par with the fifty thousand Sixteenth Army. The Sixteenth Army was even showing signs of being defeated!
If it wasn't for Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin leading their trusted soldiers to charge fearlessly, these fifty thousand and sixteen guards would have been defeated by the thirty thousand cavalry of Jie Li!
As for Li Chengqian's side, after experiencing repeated attacks from the elite Turkic cavalry, they had encountered the most elite of the Turkic heavy armored guards.
Even the valiant Yanyun Iron Cavalry were facing huge losses!
In front of this steel wall, the Yan Yun Iron Cavalry was defeated time and time again!
Li Chengqian saw that Jie Li's flag was already right in front of him, but no matter what, he could not break through the heavy armored guards 'obstruction!
More and more Turkic cavalrymen were already beginning to return to the Jie Li army!
Although the two wings of the Tu Jue army were already engaged in a fierce battle with Li Tang's soldiers, there were still large numbers of Tu Jue cavalry under Jie Li's orders, continuously providing reinforcements to the main army!
Although the Yan Yun Iron Cavalry, Yan Liao Iron Cavalry, and the Black Armor Army were elite and fearless, they began to retreat in the face of the endless enemy!
Jie Li's surroundings had almost all entered into an anxious and bitter battle!
However, even so, Jie Li still had 10,000 grassland elite cavalrymen protecting him.
These 10,000 cavalrymen could completely decide the outcome of the entire battle!
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was getting worse and worse, Li Shiming's face darkened!
"Your Majesty! Jie Li's reinforcements were increasing. If this continued, the situation would not be good!”Fang Xuanling reminded anxiously.
"Your Majesty! The 16th Guards were unable to break through the blockade of Jie Li's front line and were already showing signs of retreating! If they didn't send reinforcements, they would probably be defeated very soon!”Li Jing, who was commanding the overall situation, rode his horse to Li Shiming's side and said in a deep voice,"Your Majesty, let the remaining 30,000 men go!”
"No, I can't! If Jie Li doesn't touch the last 10,000 people in his hands, I definitely can't touch my 30,000 people!”Li Shi Min said in a low voice as he gripped the long spear in his hand.
He had been observing the situation on the battlefield.
The Yanyun Iron Cavalry led by the purple-armored general had also reached their limit!
If the battle could not be turned around, the Great Tang would definitely lose this battle!
These 30,000 troops were the last line of defense left by Li Shiming to protect Chang 'an!
"What's going on? How could my fifty thousand Ruler Corps not be a match for these thirty thousand Turkic cavalry?”Feng Deyi slapped his thigh in exasperation and shouted,"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is better to order the withdrawal of troops! With the help of Chang 'an Fortress's defense, we might be able to hold on!”
"Your Majesty! Retreat! The situation is already over!" The civil officials began to remonstrate, asking Li Shimin to order the retreat of the troops back to Chang 'an.
Li Shi Min's hand that was holding the long spear was covered in sweat. Unknowingly, this battle-hardened Emperor was drenched in sweat!
