Li Chengdao led the remnants of the army along the empty road and left Chang 'an City through the Golden Light Gate.
Li Chengdao knew the general of the Golden Light Sect.
He had come to the Eastern Palace many times to meet Li Jiancheng and was one of the people Li Jiancheng wanted to rope in.
However, he didn't know what Li Shi Min had done to make this person, who was only loyal to Li Yuan and didn't want to rely on the Crown Prince, listen to his orders and work for him.
The tightly shut golden light door opened, and after Li Chengdao and the others left the city, it slowly closed again.
After leaving Chang 'an, Li Chengdao followed the Wei River and headed south.
Behind them, a group of about a thousand cavalrymen, all wearing fine black armor, caught up with them. They followed them at a moderate distance.
In the open wilderness, a thousand cavalrymen were facing Li Chengdao's four hundred infantrymen.
All he needed was a Charge to end the battle.
The combat strength of both sides was not on the same level at all.
"Your Highness, this is the most elite Black Armored Army under Li Shi Min's command.
Looking at them, as long as we are thirty miles away from Chang 'an, they will make us stay no matter whether we release the traitor's family or not.
I suggest that we take a detour into a mountain forest later. Your Highness, please take a team of soldiers and escape.
General Xue, the other soldiers, and I will stop the Black Armored Army and buy time for Your Highness.
As long as His Highness could keep his life, he would rise again sooner or later.”
Feng Li rode his horse to Li Chengdao's side and said with a serious expression.
As Li Jiancheng's most valiant general, there was no need to mention his ability to lead troops into battle.
Sensing the black-armored army following behind him, Feng Li instantly made the best choice.
Li Chengdao raised his head and looked at Feng Li, Xue Wanche, and the Crown Prince's guards. Each of them had a determined look in their eyes. It was obvious that they wanted to use their lives to create a chance for Li Chengdao to escape.
Even though Li Chengdao hadn't transmigrated for long and wasn't very familiar with these soldiers, he still couldn't help but tremble when he saw this scene.
In this world, there were people like Li Shimin who would kill each other for power and the throne.
There were also hot-blooded and loyal men.
Li Chengdao waved his hand and said resolutely,""All of you are brothers who fought with this king through blood. How can this king abandon all of you?
General Feng, don't mention this again."
"Your Highness!"
Seeing Li Chengdao's refusal, Feng Li was moved and immediately wanted to continue persuading him.
But at this moment, the ground suddenly shook.
A white wave rushed toward them from the horizon, sweeping up the yellow sand in the sky.
This was a large cavalry force.
"Damn it, there's actually a large number of cavalry blocking the way. Your Highness, quickly flee to the forest."
Feng Li and Xue Wanche's expressions were extremely ugly.
The two cavalrymen in front and behind surrounded them.
However, there were only about 400 of them left, and they were all infantry.
This was a situation where they were almost certain to die.
Li Chengdao looked into the distance and saw the cavalrymen in white robes and white horses. A heavy stone finally fell from his heart.
A relieved smile appeared on his face.""General Feng, General Xue need not panic. These seven thousand white-robed soldiers are our own people.”
During this period of time, Li Chengdao had been thinking about where the 7,000 white-robed soldiers rewarded by the system were.
He didn't expect that he would appear in front of him in such a way.
"One of us?"
Feng Li and the others were stunned.
Although they found it hard to believe, they were still skeptical when they saw how calm Li Chengdao was.
The 7,000 white-robed soldiers quickly arrived in front of Li Chengdao. The entire army tied their ropes and dismounted. Then, they stood on the ground with their swords and knelt on one knee and shouted in unison,"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Their movements and sounds were uniform, as if they were one.
Just from this point alone, one could see how disciplined this army was.
Feng Li, Xue Wanche, and the others were ecstatic.
"Great, Your Highness, we're saved.”
Zhangsun Wugou, who was riding on the same horse as Li Chengdao, saw the army of white robes descending from the sky and knew that it was unlikely for him and his children to return to Li Shiming's side.
She smiled bitterly in her heart. Li Shi Min killed his own brother for power.
Perhaps this was his retribution.
Even if he obtained the throne, his wife and children were almost all killed. The few who were left alive could forget about seeing them again.
"White Robe Army, listen up!" Li Chengdao shouted.”
The 7,000 white-robed soldiers remained on one knee, quietly waiting for Li Chengdao's order.
Li Chengdao slowly turned his horse around and pointed the horsewhip in his hand at the black-armored soldiers following behind him.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive."
"Yes!"
Their voices were clean and neat, and their orderly responses resounded throughout the world.
All the soldiers of the White Robe Army mounted their horses, unsheathed their swords, and pointed them at the Black Armor Army.
The black-armored army had been following Li Chengdao at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
When they saw the sudden appearance of such a large number of cavalrymen, they were all shocked.
Before they could react, they found that the other party had already begun charging.
The black-armored soldiers, who were originally hunters, instantly became prey.
"Rumble!"
There was no bugle horn, no drumming sound, no sound of Weishui River flowing.
The only sound that could be heard between heaven and earth was the heavy hooves of the white-robed army.
The black-armored army had just finished organizing their formation when the white-robed army had already arrived!
Unlike the cumbersome black-armored army, the white-robed army gave up on defense and chose to be extremely mobile.
Even at a short distance, the warhorses could instantly charge forward.
As for the black-armored soldiers, who were known for their heavy armor and high defense, they could only passively counterattack and could not charge at all.
Everyone knew that once a heavy cavalry charged, they were as terrifying as a tank.
People who stood in their way would kill, and Buddhas who stood in their way would kill.
However, if they were unable to charge, their heavy armor would greatly restrict their movements. In front of the white-robed army, they were no different from fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
The killing on the battlefield was unusually cruel and bloody.
The seven thousand white robed soldiers were all elites among elites.
They formed horns and surrounded the black-armored soldiers.
Horses neighed and mourned.
In less than the time for an incense stick to burn, the thousand black-armored soldiers behind Li Chengdao were all killed. Only a few dozen of them fled in panic.
As for the White Robed Army, their casualties were negligible.
This was the first battle of this era. Even though they had won with numbers, the powerful combat strength of the White Robe Army had already been revealed.
