Just as Li Yu was leading the army to engage in a fierce battle with the vanguard army of the Ancient Baye Tribe, the news of the war between the two sides had spread to Martial Arts City.
Qin Huaiyu was the one who found out.
"Why is Your Highness like this?"
Qin Qiong's brows were tightly furrowed as he sat on the chair and held his forehead, looking like he had a headache.
"I didn't expect Your Highness to be so reckless. You dare to lead less than fifty thousand men to face the hundred thousand elite cavalry of the Ancient Baye Tribe on the plains.”
Qin Huaiyu said in a deep voice.
"What happened after that?"
Qin Qiong asked.
"I also led dozens of people to investigate. At night, I came back under the cover of the night. I didn't find anything else.”
Qin Huaiyu said helplessly.
Now that Martial Arts City was surrounded by enemies, the enemies were very cautious. They did not approach the city, but cut off the city's supplies and waited.
Fortunately, there was a mountain road not far from the south gate of Martial Arts City, allowing Qin Huaiyu to bypass the encirclement and go out to inquire about the news. Otherwise, he would not even be able to get the news of Li Yu leading the soldiers to fight on the plains.
"This is going to be troublesome!"
Qin Qiong stood up and stared at the sand table in front of him in silence for a long time.
After a while, Qin Qiong looked at his son and ordered,""His Highness should be in trouble now. Lead ten thousand cavalrymen and go around the mountain road to support His Highness!”
Hearing this order, Qin Huaiyu and the other generals present were stunned.
Soon, someone reacted and hurriedly dissuaded him."No, General! That mountain road has yet to be discovered by the Turks. If we are defeated in the future, we can take the mountain road back to Chang 'an.”
"And if the young general were to lead his ten thousand cavalrymen and leave from that path, it would cause a huge commotion and the Turks would not be able to miss it. At that time, the mountain path would be discovered by them, and we would have no way out!”
"That's right, General, don't be as rash as Your Highness. Please think twice before you act!”
“……”
Qin Qiong's expression was cold as he listened to the generals 'advice.
"His Highness must be in a difficult situation now. He has indeed underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, but this also means that he is not afraid and is trying his best to kill the enemy.”
"Although we are surrounded by the enemy, we can last for several years with that much food. Now that Youzhou is isolated, Your Highness is in an even more critical situation!”
After a round of scolding, Qin Qiong stared at the generals.
The generals did not speak, but Qin Huaiyu stood up and cupped his hands."Your son is willing to lead ten thousand cavalrymen. Father, please be careful.”
"You don't have to worry about me. I've been fighting all my life. How can I be taken down by those Turkic barbarians?”
Qin Qiong said indifferently.
After that, Qin Huaiyu turned around and left the city with 10,000 cavalries. They directly bypassed the encirclement of the enemy troops and headed for the border of Wugong City, Wu City and Youzhou City.
The commotion caused by the ten thousand cavalry was indeed not small. Qin Huaiyu was quickly discovered by the Turkic army, but the Turkic army knew that they would not be able to catch up, so they could only seal off the mountain path to ensure that no one would pass by.
……
The next morning.
After a night of long distance attacks, Qin Huaiyu was finally about to arrive at the intersection of the three lands.
"Young General, there might be a battle ahead. Should we send someone to investigate the situation first?”
The deputy general asked Qin Huaiyu.
"Why are you still asking for information? His Highness shouldn't have been annihilated by the enemy, but he should be surrounded and unable to escape. We can directly charge over and help His Highness out!”
As Qin Huaiyu spoke, he increased the speed of his warhorse to its maximum.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, there were no cries of battle coming from the front. There was not even the slightest movement. There was no sign of an army fighting on the vast plain.
"Not good…"
Qin Huaiyu had a bad feeling.
There was no movement on the plains, which meant that the battle had ended.
As for who would win... there was no doubt that it would not be Li Yu, who dared to face the enemy's 100,000 elite cavalry head-on with less than 50,000 men.
"Sigh…"
Qin Huaiyu let out a long sigh and waved the horsewhip with all his might. At this moment, he only had one thing on his mind, and that was to find Li Yu's corpse and bury him.
A moment later.
The cavalrymen sprinted at an extremely fast speed and gradually saw a pile of corpses lying on the ground in the distance.
"The battlefield is in the distance. The entire army will continue to advance. When we arrive, we will first look for traces of His Highness!”
Qin Huaiyu ordered loudly.
The cavalry continued to advance at full speed until they reached the corpses.
When they got closer, they realized that the corpses lying here were all untied.
Just from this, it was clear that the dead were not Tang.
Since they weren't Tang, then they were definitely the elite cavalry of the ancient tribe.
" This…How is this possible?"
Qin Huaiyu looked at the hellish scene before him in disbelief.
The corpses of these elite cavalrymen of the Ancient Barga Tribe were scattered all over the place. Fortunately, they were intact, while the unfortunate ones only had a part left.
In the center of the battlefield were the corpses of many Turkic cavalry.
These cavalrymen seemed to have been surrounded and killed. Their corpses were piled up like a mountain.
All of this was extremely shocking.
"Search the place and see if there are any living people or dead bodies.”
Qin Huaiyu withdrew his gaze in fear and ordered his cavalry.
"Yes, sir!"
The cavalrymen obeyed and scattered to search.
The search soon yielded results.
"Young General, we've searched all the corpses nearby, but none of them had their hair tied up.”
The deputy reported.
"I understand."
Qin Huaiyu nodded.
Corpses piled up like mountains on the battlefield, and none of them were Tang.
This could only mean one thing.
Li Yu had underestimated the enemy and rushed to the plains, leading less than 50,000 people to fight against the 100,000 elite cavalry of the Ancient Tribe of the Wilderness. In the end, Li Yu had won.
"I can't believe it. His Highness actually won?”
The deputy general was stunned.
"The truth is right in front of us, so we have to believe it.”
As Qin Huaiyu spoke, he glanced at the corpses on the battlefield and said,""His Highness didn't even leave a single captive. It can be seen that the snowstorm in Youzhou over the past ten years has tempered him to be particularly fierce.”
Hearing this, the general nodded and said in a deep voice,"" Those people in Chang 'an would never have dreamed that the bitter cold environment and fierce barbarians in Youzhou could not kill His Highness, but instead made him a decisive and powerful overlord!”
"Yes, I am."
Qin Huaiyu nodded. He agreed with the deputy general's words and began to consider whether he should persuade his father to help Li Yu, the eldest son of the emperor.
Li Yu's mother was a concubine, but he was definitely the eldest son. Now that he was so powerful, he had the qualifications to fight for the top position in the world.
At that time, if the Qin family could rely on Li Yu and become a subject of the Dragon…
At the thought of this, Qin Huaiyu shook his head violently, expelling the terrifying thought from his mind.
"Young general, what should we do next?”
The deputy general asked.
"It's very simple. We just need to follow His Highness and kill the thieves.”
Qin Huaiyu said.
The deputy general thought about this decision for a moment and had no objections.
In any case, the mountain path of Martial Arts City had already been discovered and sealed by the Turks. If they did not follow Li Yu to battle, what else could they do?
