The next day.
Li Yu had just woken up from bed when she heard a piece of news.
Jie Li Khan couldn't stand the anger of his brother's death. He gathered all the tribes outside Youzhou and formed an army of 150,000 men, marching toward Youzhou City.
After receiving the news, Li Yu immediately called Baiqi, Zhuge Liang, Liu Chengyu and the others into the room to discuss matters.
"150,000 people. The ability of these Turks to mobilize is a bit terrifying. The tribes near Youzhou are all small tribes, and to be able to gather 50,000 people from a small tribe in just one night, the bandit chief Jie Li must have put in a lot of effort.”
Bai Qi frowned as he analyzed.
"That's normal. This isn't the first time the Turks have set their sights on the Central Plains. They've already amassed their wealth over a hundred years in order to seize even more fertile land, so we can't underestimate them.”
Zhuge Liang said.
"The most important thing now is how to defeat these 150,000 people.”
Li Yu pulled the topic back to strategy and carefully observed the map.
"Your Highness, do you want to scatter these 150,000 people or wipe them out?”
Zhuge Liang asked.
"Of course we'll wipe them out."
Li Yu said without hesitation.
This was the first year of the war between the Great Tang and the Turks. It was now a full-scale war, and the Turks had to be ruthlessly wiped out.
"Then I suggest we set up an ambush here."
Zhuge Liang pointed at the middle of the mountain range on the map.
Youzhou was a flat land. On a large plain, there was a mountain range called Zaihukou. This mountain range was long and narrow, and there was only one road in the middle. It was a good place for ambushes.
"But Zaihukou is in the north of Youzhou. How can we let the bandit leader lead his troops there?”
Baiqi asked.
"That's easy to say. The leader of the rebel army has wiped out 100,000 people. Not only does he not know how to restrain himself, he even gathered more people to fight. This proves that he is in the stage of anger.”
Zhuge Liang smiled and said what he was thinking.
"Alright, the strategy is set. Let's move!”
Li Yu slammed the table and gave the order.
He was a decisive person. After having a meal, he directly left Youzhou City for Zaihuzi.
When the entire army was halfway through, Baiqi received an order to goad the Golden Fire Cavalry into action.
Accompanying them were the Turks who had not been killed yesterday because they were shorter than the wheels of a carriage, as well as the corpse of Tuli Khagan. These people and corpses were the key to the success of the goading method.
……
In the afternoon.
The Turkic army that was advancing aggressively met with Baiqi.
Jie Li Khan did not sit on the high platform like before. Instead, he rode on a warhorse and wore armor. When he saw the enemy appear, he immediately went to the front of the team.
Jie Li Khan found that the Tang army opposite him did not attack. Instead, they all dismounted and led out a large group of people tied up by iron chains from behind.
They were all Turks.
"Kill them."
Bai Qi coldly ordered.
Then, all the Golden Fire Cavalry put their knives on the captives 'necks and used their strength to kill all the captives.
"Damn it!"
"Damned Tang, come at us if you dare!”
"I'm going to kill you all!"
“……”
The Turkic army immediately roared.
As the leader of the Turkic army, Jie Li Khagan gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.
However, he could not hold it in any longer.
As the Turks watched, Baiqi lifted up a corpse and showed it to the Turks.
Everyone realized that this corpse was none other than the corpse of Tuli Khagan!
Bai Qi threw the corpse on the ground and stepped on it with the Golden Fire Cavalry. At the same time, he laughed loudly.
"I'm going to light them up!"
Jie Li Khagan roared, his chest heaving up and down due to anger.
The Turkic army immediately began to charge at Baiqi's group.
In order to achieve the effect of his provocation, Bai did not stay any longer and immediately led the cavalry away.
In this way, they gradually arrived at Zaihuzi in the north of Youzhou Province.
Baiqi led his soldiers into Zaihu's mouth and sped along the mountain path.
"Khagan, we can't continue chasing. If we enter the terrain ahead, we'll be easily ambushed!”
Data immediately advised Jie Li Khan.
Khan Jie Li was not a fool. He cautiously ordered the army to stop and carefully examined the terrain around Zaihukou. He asked,"It's cold in Youzhou, and it's snowing heavily. There's no one on either side of the mountain path. Are they lying in the snow?”
"This…"
Data didn't know how to reply.
The current temperature was at least ten degrees below zero. It was not a problem to fight in the wild under such circumstances, but it was impossible to hide in the snow.
Even if there were really ambushes, they would be frozen to death.
"I'll bring people in immediately."
Data led the army forward.
Although Jie Li Khagan didn't think that there would be enemies on both sides of the mountain path, out of careful consideration, he and his personal guards stayed behind the army and slowly entered Zaihukou's mountain path.
At this moment, it was still snowing, and the footprints that Bai Qi had left behind were immediately covered by the snow.
In the cold wind, Data led his men forward. As he walked, he breathed on his hands and stared at the mountains on both sides.
The mountain path was covered by a mountain, and the wind was relatively light. On the mountain, it was directly facing the cold wind. If a person stood for a long time, he would definitely freeze. If he hid in the snow, he would probably die in less than ten minutes.
Therefore, Data felt that it was impossible for there to be an ambush on both sides, unless the Tang army was made of iron.
Zaihukou Mountain Path was long and narrow, winding and winding, and the hundred thousand men couldn't fill up the gap.
As the person at the front of the team, Data was about to walk out of the mountain path when he saw someone around the corner.
That person was riding a red horse and holding a spear in his hand. He stood alone on the spot.
This person was Li Yu.
"Humph!"
The Flame Colt snorted, its sharp eyes sweeping over the enemy. Sensing the danger of the Flame Colt, the Turkic warhorses began to retreat.
Li Yu stroked the Flame Stallion's mane, calming its restless fighting spirit. At the same time, he raised his head and said coldly,""Kneel down and surrender. I'll let you die with dignity.”
"Surrender? Are you crazy?"
Da Ta looked around and saw that Li Yu was alone, yet he could still say such arrogant words. There was no persuasiveness at all.
"Rise!"
Li Yu pointed his spear at the sky and shouted.
Then, from the white snow on both sides of the mountain path, a dense group of people climbed up.
The soldiers of the Back Wei Army, Divine Arms Battalion, and crossbowmen were covered in snow, but they didn't seem to feel it. They were like ghosts in the snow, fiercely staring at the Turkic army below.
"No, this is impossible. How can you not freeze to death in the cold snow?”
Data panicked.
As a Turkic, he understood the bitter cold and barren steppe the best. The sandstorms of the northwest could not kill people, but the snow of the steppe could easily freeze a group of people and livestock to death.
However, the Tang soldiers were hiding in the snow, waiting for an ambush. It had been more than an hour since he came to Zaihu's mouth. How could these Tang soldiers hiding in the snow still ambush him?
"What others can't do, my army can.”
Li Yu smiled.
In the past ten years, the system had given all kinds of legions. These legions had all kinds of legions, but they had one thing in common. The soldiers had been strengthened, and their individual quality was far superior to ordinary people. They would not freeze to death even if they were hidden in the snow.
