Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

Li Jing stood on the top of the city wall, with his hands behind his back! The north wind blew his Taoist robe, making a rustling sound!

That guy is here! He has prepared a big surprise for me!

The four gates of Pingzhou City were wide open. Xue Li led three thousand cavalrymen to charge out from the east gate. With a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, he was unstoppable. The Khitan general guarding the east gate was frightened and retreated again and again!

Xue Li rushed into the battle formation alone and knocked the defending general off his horse with one strike of his halberd!

Ximen Luochen's three thousand cavalrymen!

Qin Huaiyu's three thousand cavalrymen at the South Gate!

Cheng Tieniu and Yuchi Baolin at the North Gate have three thousand cavalrymen!

Each Tang cavalryman was equipped with a long spear, a round shield, a bow, 30 arrows, and a long or short Tang sword. They were fully equipped!

The Khitan gatekeepers were caught off guard and in a state of panic. The commanders of the various divisions were nowhere to be found! The Khitan army retreated directly over 30 miles!

Wanyan Hong hurried back, but when he saw this scene, he spat out a mouthful of blood! He fainted! The six leaders escorted him back to set up camp thirty miles away!

In the early morning, Ye Haoran and Shitou followed Niu Fangda's two thousand cavalrymen and marched into Pingzhou City in a swagger!

Arriving at the backyard of the Pingzhou government office, everyone sat around a table. Pingzhou governor Li Xian smiled happily:

"I feel relieved that the Duke of Wei and the Protector General Niu are in Pingzhou City! The Khitan barbarians have lost at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops this time! It's enough to make them feel distressed for a while! Hahaha!"

"Although the siege of Pingzhou City has been lifted, the Khitan army has not retreated and may come back at any time! Everyone should not take it lightly!" Li Jing's face was a little heavy! He continued:

"There is a shortage of food and grass ahead. I must set off immediately to transport the food and grass. I still need your help in Pingzhou City!"

"What? Duke Weiguo, you're leaving?" Li Xian naturally knew that the reason why the siege of Pingzhou could be lifted was mainly due to the 20,000 garrison troops brought by Li Jing!

If Li Jing leads his troops away, Pingzhou City will be like a lamb to be slaughtered!

Li Jing nodded: "There is no time to lose!"

Ye Haoran could naturally understand Li Jing's dilemma. If food and supplies could not be transported to the front line in time, the Tang Emperor's personal expedition would become a joke. Even the small border town could not be conquered, and the Tang Dynasty's military prestige would be gone!

"Protector Niu, Governor Li, I want Ye to take charge of the military power in Pingzhou temporarily and handle all military affairs after I leave! What do you two think?" Li Jing looked at Li Xian and Niu Fangda!

"I, Old Niu, have no objection. General Ye Lang is brave and resourceful, and Niu Fangda is at your disposal!"

Li Jing nodded and turned to look at Li Xian!

Li Xian was in a state of confusion, as he saw that Pingzhou had a chance of being defended, and the Duke of Weiguo was about to leave again, and he was handing over the military power to a young boy!

If the Khitan army attacks again, how can we resist?

But Li Jing was determined to do so, and Li Xian, the governor of the prefecture, had to nod his head! But his face was full of bitterness!

"Hey! Don't you need to ask for my opinion?" Ye Haoran looked confused!

"What? You don't want to?" Li Jing asked with a smile!

"Of course I don't want to. If you just walk away, there are only more than 10,000 defenders in Pingzhou, and the Khitan army has at least 70,000 to 80,000 people! This war cannot be fought! I won't take the blame!" Ye Haoran turned his face away and didn't look at Li Jing!

"General Ye, the Duke of Weiguo means to hand over the military power to you. He does not want you to be a fireman and not have to take the blame!" Niu Fangda hurriedly explained to Ye Haoran!

"You really don't have to take the blame. Whether Pingzhou City can be defended or not, I will take the blame and you will take the credit!" Li Jing took a sip of tea and suppressed the anger rising in his heart! This kid, he got the advantage and still acted cute!

Li Jing has a strong learning ability! He learns new words and uses them right away! He is definitely a top student!

Ye Haoran turned his head and pretended to hesitate!

Niu Fangda was also confused. Aren’t we talking about defending the city? What kind of pot? Is it so important? Is it a treasure?

"Tell me what your conditions are!" Li Jing said helplessly, like an old hunter who could see through the fox's mind!

"hey-hey!"

Ye Haoran suddenly became grinning!

"General Li, you know that I don't have any soldiers under my command. Even if I take over the military power, it will be difficult to enforce discipline! General Li, why don't you give me two thousand personal soldiers, and I promise to defend Pingzhou City!"

"No, one thousand at most!"

"Then I want the one in the north city training ground!"

"You have a good eye, kid! There are only 3,000 Black Armor Army soldiers in total, and I only brought 1,000 of them this time, and you've got your eyes on them!"

"Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not!" Ye Haoran was shameless and refused to give in!

"Okay! But I can only lend it to you temporarily!" Li Jing looked painful!

"Okay! It's a deal!" Ye Haoran was secretly happy. Borrow? Didn't you hear that? The one who borrows is the boss! When to return it depends on the boss's mood!

A meeting that decided the fate of Pingzhou ended with Ye Haoran and Li Jing bargaining! Everyone was stunned!

The horse-drawn carriage transporting grain and fodder slowly drove out of the north gate of Pingzhou City. Li Jing only took Xue Li with him, leaving Tie Niu and others to Ye Haoran!

To this iron-blooded general, the only thing I could do was to bow and clasp my fists before leaving! I couldn't say anything more, it was so hypocritical!

But the governor of the prefecture, Li Xian, is shameless and full of flattery! Disgusting!

Take care! Looking at Li Jing's back as he left, Ye Haoran silently said in his heart!

After seeing Li Jing off, he couldn't wait to go to the parade ground in the north of the city!

The neatly lined up black armor soldiers were waiting on the parade ground! A dignified-looking young man in black armor came over, knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together:

"I am Qingxuan, the deputy commander of the Black Armor Army. I am here to see General Ye Lang. The Black Armor Army of 1,000 cavalrymen are at your disposal!"

Ye Haoran hurried forward to help Qing Xuan up: "Commander, there is no need to do this. You are all the glory of our Tang Dynasty, heroes who have fought in hundreds of battles and defended our country!"

Qingxuan's eyes turned red. For these soldiers who had fought on the battlefield, nothing could make them more gratified than being understood!

"Although General Ye Lang speaks nicely, we are only temporarily under your command! We will return to General Li's camp after defending the city! You don't have to try hard to please us!" Qingxuan said seriously!

Damn! It's so boring to talk to such a straightforward person! Am I that kind of person? Uh⊙?⊙! Really! Ye Haoran was talking in his heart!

In addition to the most basic configuration of the Tang Dynasty cavalry, the Black Armor Army also added horse armor. The whole body is black and does not look light. This is also thanks to the fact that these horses are all Ferghana horses from the Western Regions, otherwise they would not be able to afford it!

"Qingxuan, your armor is not of the conventional standard! Is it heavy?" Ye Haoran asked curiously!

"Your Excellency! Our armor is made of fine steel and black iron, weighing hundreds of pounds!"

"Well! It's okay!" Ye Haoran pretended to be calm. He couldn't let others think that he had never seen the world!

Let Qingxuan lead the Xuanjia Army to continue training, and Ye Haoran returned to the government office!

As soon as he entered the government office, Li Xian came to Ye Haoran in a panic:

"This is bad, General Ye Lang. Khitan has sent another 50,000 reinforcements. It is said that the Khitan Khan's eldest son, Yelu Liangcai, is also coming!"

Another fifty thousand have arrived!

Yelu Liangcai?
