Wu City, Martial Arts City, and the western part of Youzhou had a large plain.
This plain did not have a name, but as the intersection of the three places, it could be considered a place of hundreds of battles.
The army led by Li Yu arrived on the plains and immediately set up camp, preparing to fight the elite troops of the Ancient Baye Tribe on the plains.
Originally, there was a mountain path in the valley in Wu City, but Li Yu had received the news too late and missed this opportunity. He could only fight the elites of the Ancient Tribe of Baye on the plains.
"Your Highness, the scouts have gone to investigate. There is indeed an enemy force rushing towards our location.”
Baiqi rode his horse to Li Yu and reported the situation after bowing.
"How many people?"
Li Yu asked.
"According to the scouts, the army of the Ancient Baye Tribe is divided into the vanguard and the main force. The number of people in the main force has not been verified yet, but the vanguard alone has as many as 100,000 people!”
Baiqi reported with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Li Yu's expression turned solemn.
The elite troops of the Ancient Baye Tribe consisted of 100,000 people in the vanguard army alone. There must be more of them in the main force. If they could completely annihilate the vanguard army and the main force, it would be equivalent to crippling the Ancient Baye Tribe.
However, there was also a problem, which was how to defeat these enemies.
This time, Li Yu had only brought the Slave Army, the Wei Army, and the Guards Cavalry. In total, he only had thirty-six thousand men.
As for the servant army, be it equipment or soldiers, they could not compare to the elite troops of the Ancient Baye Tribe. They could only be treated as cannon fodder.
Six thousand people and a group of cannon fodder, and they were fighting on the plains, this battle would definitely be very difficult.
"Your Highness, how do we fight?"
Baiqi asked worriedly.
"Give me some time to think."
Li Yu did not answer directly. Instead, he turned around and returned to the tent in the military camp.
Seeing that even Li Yu, who had a lot of ideas, needed time to think, Baiqi realized the seriousness of the matter. As a general, he could only wait for orders.
Time passed by.
……
The next morning.
A system notification woke Li Yu up.
One week is up, the host can sign in now!
"Sign in immediately."
Li Yu began to sign in like he had done in the past ten years.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following rewards!
Dragon City Iron Guard x10000!
Cannons x200, Flowery Bullets x50000!
[The System has issued a new mission, Defeat the Ancient Barga Tribe's vanguard on the plains!]
Li Yu's expression changed from calm to surprise after hearing the voice in his mind.
Just like in the past ten years, the system would always give him the most suitable reward when he needed it the most!
It was the same this time.
The Dragon City Iron Guards were a type of army that was specially used for defense. They wore airtight armor and held large shields and spears. Each of them was more than two meters tall and extremely strong.
The second reward was a cannon and a grenade.
Putting aside the destructive power of the cannon itself, the loud sound of firing was enough to cause great trouble for the enemy cavalry.
With these two items, Li Yu was confident that he could completely defeat the Ancient Wilderness Tribe on the plains!
After retrieving the Dragon City Iron Army and cannons, Li Yu immediately began to arrange his troops, preparing to give the vanguard of the Ancient Baye Tribe a head-on attack.
……
In the afternoon.
On the plains, an army was marching over.
This army was well-equipped. All the soldiers wore leather armor made of pig iron, the Turkic scimitars hanging from their waists, and the heads of their warhorses were wrapped in leather armor.
On the grasslands where resources were scarce, it was not easy to build such an army. A large amount of iron was needed.
And the Ancient Baye Tribe happened to be a tribe that sold iron and warhorses on the Turkic steppe. They lacked everything except iron and horses.
The general leading this elite vanguard was Tu Bili's son, Wuyetu.
"General, we have discovered a situation in front of us.”
A scout rode to Wu Yetu's side and reported the situation.
"Everyone, get into formation. The remaining generals, follow me to see who has the guts to stop us.”
Wu Yetu ordered and rode his horse forward. He led a group of generals out of the army and came to the front to look into the distance.
Seven hundred meters away, a Tang army was ready for battle.
The Tang army was well-equipped and formed a square battle formation. At the periphery of the battle formation were burly infantrymen wearing heavy armor and holding big shields and spears.
Behind the infantrymen were still infantrymen. Although their bodies were not as strong as the ones outside, their equipment was also excellent.
At the center of the battle formation were a thousand cavalrymen lined up neatly, as well as a strange black cylinder.
Apart from that, there was also a group of servants formed by the tribesmen.
"Da Tuo, come and take a look. Are these the cavalry of the evil spirits?”
Wu Yetu pulled a general to his side and pointed at the cavalry in the center of the battle formation.
The general called Da Tuo looked over and saw the cavalry in the battle formation.
These cavalrymen were tall and sturdy, and their horses were thick and tall. Both of them were tightly wrapped in thick iron armor, only revealing their eyes. At first glance, one could feel the murderous aura from the cavalrymen.
"My esteemed general, these cavalry are the cavalry of the malevolent ghosts. They were able to easily defeat the Khagan's cavalry, and where these malevolent ghosts are, there will definitely be a large number of Turkic corpses.”
Da Tuo said respectfully.
"Evil Ghost Cavalry? Hehe, I think those good-for-nothings are just finding an excuse for their failure. Today, I'm going to defeat these so-called Evil Spirit Cavalry!”
Wu Yetu stared at the Imperial Cavalry and said in a disdainful tone.
"I am willing to fight for the general!"
Da Tuo placed his hand on his chest and bowed.
"Alright."
Wu Yetu gave Da Tuo a hug and agreed.
Then, just as Da Tuo was about to lead his troops to attack, the Tang army on the opposite side made a move first.
Buzz!
Buzz!
The majestic sound of the horn resounded through the clouds, followed by the roar of the war drums.
On the Tang army's side, the Dragon City Iron Guards and the Back Wei Army opened a gap in the battle formation. Li Yu led the Imperial Cavalry out slowly and came to the front of the formation to form a slender horizontal formation.
"Your Highness, let me lead the cavalry into battle.”
Baiqi volunteered.
"No, I want to personally lead the cavalry to give the enemy a head-on blow. You can lead the infantry to defend.”
Li Yu said indifferently.
"Yes."
Baiqi had no objections and returned to the battle formation, ordering it to close.
Wu Yetu saw Li Yu leading a thousand cavalry out. He smiled coldly and ordered,"Da Tuo, lead 50,000 cavalrymen and form a dense fence formation. You must defeat the enemy in one charge!”
"Yes, sir!"
Da Tuo led the cavalry forward.
As he advanced, the Turkic vanguard of one hundred thousand soldiers also moved forward. The fifty thousand cavalry and the one thousand Guards Cavalry were like elephants and ants.
