Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

When the tall and burly Western Turkic general Feiluo heard that Ashina Buzhen asked him to lead 5 infantry and cavalry to resist the enemy, his expression was slightly stunned.

There are 40,000 to 50,000 Tang cavalry at the entrance of the valley. Can he stop them with such a small number of people?

There is no guarantee that the entire army will be wiped out!

Fei Luo said anxiously, "General, could you please leave me 3 more infantrymen? Otherwise, I won't be able to withstand the Tang cavalry!"

The Tang army's combat effectiveness was already extremely strong, not to mention that they were facing Tang cavalry.

When Ashina Buzhen saw the cowardly look of his general, he was immediately furious.

"waste!"

"You're embarrassing me!"

After cursing for a few words, he pointed to both sides of the hillside.

"You send 1 soldiers to guard the mountain. If the Tang army dares to charge into the valley, you will roll the boulders and logs down!"

"Even if another 10 Tang troops came, they wouldn't be able to cross this valley!"

Before the battle, the Khan invited them to a banquet and drinks. At that time, Fei Luo belittled the Tang army as worthless and even threatened that he could defeat the Tang army if he had 5 soldiers.

Now it seems that Feiluo is just a coward.

"this..."

Fei Luo's expression was slightly stunned.

When he saw Ashina Buzhen's face full of murderous intent, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

A few breaths of silence.

Fei Luo gritted his teeth and clasped his fists, saying, "Don't worry, General. I will definitely be able to stop these tens of thousands of Tang cavalry!"

Ashina Buzhen nodded slightly, then jumped on his horse and led more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry back to support Baishui Hu City.

These Western Turkic soldiers had been exposed to the wind on the mountain for a whole night, and they were completely exhausted when they came down the mountain.

When the news of the capture of Baishui Hu City spread, morale immediately plummeted to the bottom.

Outside the valley.

Tens of thousands of Tang soldiers stood beside their war horses, eating dry food leisurely, without any sense of urgency for a big battle.

Scouts ran down the hillsides on both sides and arrived at the central army's position to report.

"General Manager Du, the main force of the Western Turks has withdrawn!"

"There are currently more than 10,000 people remaining on both sides of the hillside, and tens of thousands more are stationed on the other side of the valley."

Hearing this good news, Du He's eyes lit up slightly.

It seems that Xue Rengui has succeeded!

Since the main force of the Western Turks has returned to support Baishui Hu City, they can also start to take action.

Du He handed the tiger talisman to Su Dingfang and then gave him an order.

"General Su, you are fully responsible for the next battle, and you are in charge of commanding these 40,000 cavalry!"

"After the war is over, return the tiger talisman!"

what!

Give the tiger talisman to Su Dingfang?

When Changsun Wuji heard what Du He said, his face was full of astonishment.

He has followed His Majesty in battles for many years, and has never encountered a situation where the commander-in-chief handed over the tiger talisman. This bastard Du He is really capable of anything!

Seeing that Du He trusted him so much, Su Dingfang took the tiger talisman with both hands and said excitedly.

"I will obey your orders!"

"Please rest assured, General Du, I will lead my soldiers to wipe out the tens of thousands of Western Turkic soldiers before us in one fell swoop!"

After bowing to express his gratitude, Su Dingfang immediately called Wang Jun'e, Guo Daquan, Wang Xuance and others aside to discuss tactics.

Half an hour later.

The Left Guard General Wang Jun'e and the Right Guard General Guo Daquan each led a team of troops to rush up the hillsides on the left and right.

Su Dingfang personally led the remaining cavalry and prepared for the charge.

Chinese army.

Zhang Sun Wuji sneered, "Duke Hanguo, I thought you would lead the charge yourself, but I didn't expect you were just talking!"

"I told you that you've never practiced martial arts, how could you have such courage!"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's sarcastic words, Du He's mouth curled up slightly.

This old man was obviously relieved, but he was still pretending.

Du He said with a smile, "Duke Zhao, why do I hear your tone sound a little lost?"

"When General Su leads the army to charge, you should follow him."

what!

Let him lead the charge?

Zhang Sun Wuji quickly said, "Duke Han, I have already said from the beginning that I am too old and frail to participate in the fight."

"If you hadn't led the troops into battle personally, I wouldn't have risked my life to accompany you."

Ha ha.

This old Yinbi is quite good at talking.

Du He didn't continue teasing him, but rode on the horse with a stern expression.

He wanted to kill Changsun Wuji on the battlefield, but if he did so, Li Shimin would definitely not let him go.

After all, Changsun Wuji was the emperor's uncle and the chief minister, the highest official among all.

Unless Li Chengqian and Li Shimin completely fall out and go to war, he can let go and deal with Zhangsun Wuji, Yu Zhining and others.

After half a quarter of an hour, shouts and screams began to be heard from both sides of the hillside.

More than half an hour later.

Suddenly, a large flag of the Tang army was erected on the mountain, and then the attack horn was blown.

Su Dongfang raised his spear high and shouted, "All troops, attack!"

Without any hesitation, tens of thousands of cavalrymen rushed into the narrow valley.

Du He looked at these brave and fearless soldiers and his heart was filled with emotion.

"What a fighter!"

"It's a pity that we were betrayed by the thieves, and lost more than 20,000 men!"

It was not known whether Du He's words were intentional or unintentional, but Changsun Wuji felt as if he had heard a loud bell, making his ears buzz.

No wonder Du He behaved strangely, it turned out he was guarding against spies!

I don’t know which force these spies belong to, and whether any of them are from the Guanlong family?

After all the soldiers rushed into the valley, Changsun Wuji asked in a low voice.

"Lord Han Guo, have you found the spy?"

Du He glanced at him and said, "Duke Zhao, stop pretending. Do you dare to say that you are not the mastermind behind this?"

When Changsun Wuji heard Du He's words, his face turned dark.

Is he the mastermind behind this?

What a joke! How could he do such a thing?

Zhang Sun Wuji said with a dark face: "Duke Han, you can't say such things carelessly!"

"I have followed Your Majesty since I was young. I contributed to the founding of the Tang Dynasty. How could I do something that would harm the Tang Dynasty?"

Looking at Du He's frivolous attitude, Changsun Wuji cursed in his heart.

"Shuzi!"

"You're just throwing dirty water on me!"

When encountering an opponent like Du He who did not play by the rules, Changsun Wuji felt a sense of powerlessness.

If you say Du He is not scheming, he is full of bad intentions. If you say he is scheming, he dares to say anything.

Du He smiled thoughtfully at Changsun Wuji, then squinted his eyes and looked forward.

...

the other side.

The two great generals, Ashina Buzhen and Ashina Helu, led 190,000 infantry and cavalry and fled desperately towards the Baishui Hu city.

The cavalry were better off; they reined in their horses and charged far ahead.

The group of infantrymen who were traveling on foot were already exhausted and out of breath.

Chinese army.

Ashina Buzhen shouted, "Brothers, we're only seven miles away from the city. Let's keep pushing!"

At this moment, three huge roars suddenly came from the front army position.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

As a loud bang was heard, three flames shot up into the sky.

Thousands of the tens of thousands of Western Turkic cavalrymen who were rushing in the front were killed on the spot.

"Fizz!"

Tens of thousands of frightened war horses, completely unresponsive to the cavalry's orders, fled in all directions like crazy.
