Snowflakes fluttered and the cold wind howled.
The Turks looked at the soldiers standing motionlessly in the cold wind and realized that this was an incredibly powerful army.
"Khagan, what should we do?"
Qi Bi He Li asked the Xiongnu King.
At this moment, Khan Jie Li had already seen the Tang army on the opposite side. He and his younger brother, Khan Tuli, were sitting on a luxurious platform carried by hundreds of slaves.
The two of them sat higher and could see further.
"Brother, give the order. My clansmen are willing to fight for you!”
Tuli Khagan placed his hand on his chest.
"Kill them."
Jie Li Khan only spat out this word.
"Don't worry, Khagan. I'll definitely chop off the heads of those Tang.”
Qibi Heli bowed and turned to fight.
The 100,000-strong Turkic army had already withdrawn from Youzhou City and gathered together to face the Tang army. Not only the Turks of the Tiele Tribe, but all the other tribes, big and small, were also on standby.
Although Qibi Heli was confident that he could command 100,000 people, he still wanted to test the capabilities of the Tang army out of caution.
Meanwhile, on the side of the Tang army.
"Your Highness, what should we do?"
Baiqi urged his horse forward and asked for countermeasures.
"Take the initiative to attack. Let the Divine Arms Battalion and crossbowmen go first.”
Li Yu ordered indifferently.
"Yes."
Baiqi cupped his hands and bowed, then turned around and left.
A moment later, the Divine Arms Battalion and the burly crossbowmen were mobilized. They walked out of the formation and came to the front of the Wei Army to start firing.
The crossbowmen loaded their weapons, and the Divine Arms Battalion loaded their shells.
Standing in the cold wind and snowflakes, the shooters of the Divine Arms Battalion had already warmed up the bamboo tubes containing the gunpowder. Now, they took them out and poured them directly into the barrels of their guns before stuffing them into the matchlock.
After the preparations were complete, the Divine Arms Battalion commander and the archer lieutenant all looked at Baiqi.
"Shoot!"
Baiqi ordered.
The Divine Arms Battalion then raised their muskets and fired at the commander's command together with the burly crossbowmen.
The ballista bolts shot into the sky, aiming for the Turkic army.
On the Divine Arms Battalion's side, the gunfire created a cloud of gunpowder smoke. Before the Turks could figure out what was going on, a large number of them died like wheat being harvested.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
Qibi Heli was shocked. He did not dare to let the Tang army shoot another round and directly ordered the Turkic infantry to attack.
The thirty thousand Turkic infantry advanced.
"Bei Wei Army, advance!"
Li Yu ordered.
The 10,000 Bei Wei Army soldiers knocked on their shields and roared as they advanced.
The infantrymen from both sides soon came into contact.
The Turkic infantry discovered to their shock that their weapons were unable to penetrate the armor of the Back Wei Army, and were chopped to death by the soldiers.
Relying on their superior equipment, the ten thousand soldiers of the Bei Wei Army easily held off the thirty thousand Turkic infantry.
And these Turkic infantry were the elites of the elites. The Jie Li Khagan had raised them to fight against the Great Tang infantry, but they were useless.
On the battlefield, infantry was only used to maintain and advance the front line. It could not play a leading role. The real key role was the cavalry.
"Guards Cavalry, charge with me!"
Li Yu held his spear and was the first to charge out.
The one thousand Guards Cavalry followed closely behind, bypassing the infantry and charging toward the Turkic army.
"Haha, are you courting death?"
Qibi Heli smiled. He waved his hand and 20,000 cavalrymen came forward from behind.
These twenty thousand cavalry were the trump cards of the Tiele tribe. Although they were nothing compared to the Turkic imperial guards, they were still an extremely powerful force.
In Qibi Heli's eyes, there was no enemy that his 20,000 cavalry couldn't defeat.
With these 20,000 cavalrymen, Qibi Heli chose to go into battle personally. Thus, he led these 20,000 cavalrymen and charged towards Li Yu.
The cavalrymen were extremely fast, and the distance between the two sides quickly shortened.
As they got closer, Qibi Heli suddenly felt that something was wrong with the cavalry.
The 1,000 Imperial Cavalry were fully armored, with only the eyes of the men and horses being able to see through them. Although there were only 1,000 of them, they could cause the earth to tremble when they ran.
However, Qibi Heli glanced at the 20,000 cavalrymen behind him and charged forward with relief.
In the next second, the cavalrymen from both sides came into contact.
Li Yu's Guards Cavalry were like a sharp knife stabbing into tofu, directly knocking over the Turkic cavalry. Like tanks, they charged through the fifty thousand cavalry from head to tail.
In this charge alone, not only had the formation of the Turkic cavalry been scattered, but thousands had also died.
Taking advantage of the enemy's disorganized formation, Li Yu urged the Flaming Colt under him to charge at Qibi Heli, tightly gripping the spear in his hand.
"You're courting death!"
Qi Bi He Li saw that the 20,000 cavalrymen had been scattered and was in a fit of anger. When he saw Li Yu rushing over, he immediately went forward to welcome him.
Before him, there were dozens of cavalrymen who also noticed Li Yu and rushed over at the same time.
Facing these fifty cavalrymen, Li Yu showed no fear. He raised the long spear in his hand and charged towards the enemy.
While charging, the spear was wrapped in lightning. The fifty cavalrymen could not even stop Li Yu's footsteps and were easily pierced through by the spear.
"Awesome!"
Li Yu was very satisfied with the spear.
This fight was a reward from the system. It was called the Thunder Dragon's Tooth. Legend had it that it was made from the teeth of a dragon that controlled lightning. It was extremely sharp, and there was no way that anything could block the stab of this Thunder Dragon's Tooth.
After taking out fifty cavalrymen, Li Yu had already rushed in front of Qibi Heli and thrust his spear forward.
Qibi Heli realized that something was wrong and blocked with his scimitar.
In the next second, Thunder Dragon Tooth pierced through the scimitar and the person.
"I killed the enemy general!"
Li Yu picked up Qibi Heli's corpse and raised it above his head like a flag.
"Avenge the leader!"
The other Turkic cavalry were furious at this sight and began to attack Li Yu without any regard for anything else.
Li Yu shook off Qibi Heli's corpse and brandished his spear, cutting a bloody path through the Turkic cavalry. After breaking out of the encirclement, he turned back and charged back and forth.
It was the same for the Guards Cavalry, their one thousand and one men holding off the twenty thousand Turkic cavalry.
After a series of attacks, only 3,000 of the 20,000 cavalrymen were left. They could no longer hold on and quickly fled.
Li Yu didn't chase after them, only bringing the Imperial Cavalry back to the formation.
At this moment, the Divine Arms Battalion and the burly crossbowmen stepped forward and shot down all the fleeing cavalrymen.
At the same time, the Wei Army had also won. However, in order to maintain their front line, they did not chase after the enemy and instead prepared for the next wave of attacks.
"50,000 people…gone just like that?”
Jie Li Khan stood up from the high platform and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
The 50,000 men who could have slaughtered several tribes and destroyed several cities had died just like that. They had been rendered useless.
