Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The more than 100,000 infantrymen walking behind were also frightened by the sudden loud roar coming from the front.

In the silent wilderness, a terrifying voice pierced the night sky.

"The gods are angry!"

More than 100,000 Western Turkic infantrymen looked at the three balls of fire rising in the night sky. They were so scared that they knelt on the ground and worshiped them as if they were worshiping a totem they believed in.

"God forgive me!"

"We are your pious subjects, and we hope that the gods will vent their wrath upon the Tang army!"

These Western Turkic soldiers were chattering to themselves, and suddenly a huge buzzing sound was heard throughout the wilderness.

Central military position.

Ashina Buzhen and Ashina Helu were also stunned for a long time. They looked at each other, and fear appeared on their faces.

Is it really the gods who are angry?

But now it is the Tang army that is invading their land, why should the gods punish them?

If it wasn't a punishment from the gods, could human power have caused such a big commotion?

A moment of silence.

He spurred his horse and rushed over to the soldiers who had come out of Baishui Hu City to ask for reinforcements, then reported with an anxious look on his face.

"General, this isn't the wrath of the gods!"

"The Tang army used this kind of magic to destroy our solid city walls!"

"We can't hesitate, we must rush into the city and rescue the Khan immediately!"

what!

Is this a sorcery created by the Tang army?

Ashina Buzhen and Ashina Helu stared with their eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief.

This...how is this possible!

How did the Tang army have such ability?

Just as they were stunned, a burst of dense horse trampling sounds suddenly came from the wilderness around them.

Moreover, the pace of these horse trampling sounds was very consistent, completely different from the pace of the cavalry running around.

Ashina Buzhen and Ashina Helu suddenly raised their heads, and when they saw the armor shining coldly in the moonlight, their faces changed drastically with fear.

It’s the Tang army!

How come the Tang army arrived so quickly?

The two of them were so frightened that their hair stood on end and they immediately yelled at their guards.

"Enemy attack!"

"Beat the drum!"

Hearing the sound of enemy war drums, the Western Turkic soldiers who were kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, their faces full of confusion.

what happened?

The gods in front are angry, and the Tang army is attacking them from behind?

By the time they discovered the Tang army charging towards them from both sides, it was too late to form a battle line.

Under the charge of 20,000 elite Tang troops, more than 100,000 Western Turkic infantry were scattered before they could even set up a defensive formation.

This group of frightened Western Turkic infantrymen cursed loudly.

"Where are our cavalry?"

"Where did they all go?"

"These losers who usually have their eyes wide open, are they going to run away in fear?"

Just as these Western Turkic infantrymen were cursing, the tens of thousands of cavalrymen they were counting on were also chased and killed by 2 Tang cavalrymen.

If it weren't for the protection of the night, the Western Turkic infantry and cavalry would have been defeated long ago.

The Western Turkic Central Army.

Ashina Helu roared, "General Buzhen, you lead your troops to hold back the Tang army here. I will lead my people to Baishui Hucheng to rescue the Khan!"

"If you can't hold out, lead your troops to break through to Suiye City, and we'll meet up there!"

Having said that, he didn't wait for Ashina Buzhen's consent and directly led his personal guards to rush forward.

With the departure of Ashina Helu, tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry were suddenly missing from the battlefield.

"hateful!"

Ashina Buzhen cursed angrily, then raised his sword and shouted, "Brothers, there's no need to form a battle line. Kill any Tang cavalry you catch!"

"The Tang army general is just ahead. Follow me and destroy him!"

The battlefield today is extremely chaotic. Soldiers cannot find their generals, and generals cannot find their soldiers.

Instead of wasting time gathering soldiers and forming battle array, it is better to let the soldiers under his command take advantage of the chaos and fight to the death with the Tang army!

Moreover, to catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. If they kill the main general of the Tang army, the morale of the Tang army will definitely plummet.

Only after they destroyed the main general of the Tang army would it be their chance to launch a desperate counterattack.

"kill!"

A group of generals and personal guards under Ashina Buzhen followed him and rushed towards the main general of the Tang army.

Xi Junmai, Yuchi Huan and others who were quickly destroying the enemy, saw the main general of the Western Turks rushing towards them, and their faces immediately showed excitement.

"How brave!"

"How dare you deliver it to your door!"

Xi Junmai did not hesitate at all. He turned his horse's head and rushed towards Ashina Buzhen.

Fang Yiai, Yuchi Huan, Cheng Huailiang and others also rushed forward, their eyes full of desire to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

After the main generals on both sides engaged in close combat, the battle entered a white-hot stage.

It has to be said that the Western Turks still had some powerful generals. After four generals held back Xi Junmai, the remaining generals fought back and forth with Fang Yiai, Yuchi Huan and others.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and the four Western Turkic generals who besieged Xi Junmai were all stabbed to death.

When Ashina Buzhen saw the heroic performance of the Tang general, his pupils suddenly shrank.

So fierce!

How could there be such a powerful person in the world?

Ashina Buzhen waved at the dozen or so generals who were protecting him and roared through gritted teeth.

"You guys come together!"

"Anyone who kills a Tang general will be promoted ten ranks and rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. After the generals heard the reward mentioned by Ashina Buzhen, they spurred their horses frantically and rushed towards Xi Junmai.

Although the overall strength of this group was relatively weak, they relied on their numbers and forced Xi Junmai to retreat repeatedly.

Xi Junmai resisted for a while, and after killing three Western Turkic generals with the assistance of Yuchi Huan, the two of them began to counterattack frantically.

Half an hour later, these more than ten generals were beheaded again.

Ashina Buzhen saw that most of his generals were killed and his soldiers were chased and killed by the Tang army. He knew that the situation was hopeless.

"Hey!"

He sighed heavily, then gave orders to his guards.

"Ming Jin!"

"retreat!"

After giving the order, he fled the battlefield with his personal guards and remaining soldiers without any hesitation.

When Xi Junmai saw the Western Turkic main general leading a small number of remaining soldiers to escape, he did not chase them, but rushed towards the surrounding Western Turkic infantry.

He knew very well that the purpose of this battle was to annihilate as many Western Turkic soldiers as possible.

Without these soldiers charging into battle, the Western Turkic generals would be of little use.

Even if they hide in the city, there is no need to be afraid. Under the explosion of the thunder bomb, even the strongest city walls will be blown away.

After fighting for more than an hour, the sky gradually became brighter.

Without the protection of darkness, the Western Turkic infantry and cavalry were completely exposed to the sight of the Tang army.

What worried these remaining Western Turkic soldiers the most was that the Tang cavalry behind them broke through their defense line and charged towards them.

Under the siege of nearly 80,000 Tang cavalry, the remaining Western Turkic soldiers were completely desperate.

They couldn't defeat the enemy, nor could they escape, and even if they surrendered to the Tang army, they didn't want to be taken prisoners.

Two hours later, the battle came to an end.

Su Dingfang led his troops to Baishui Hu City, while Xi Junmai led his cavalry to clean up the battlefield.

On the hillside not far away.

Du He looked at the hellish scene below. Apart from feeling a little nauseous, he didn't feel much emotional.

As for Changsun Wuji, who was standing on the side, he was watching with great interest.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhang Sun Wuji said admiringly, "Duke Han, your arrangement for this battle is truly brilliant. I admire you!"
