Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Cui Hexian slowly turned his head and spoke to a middle-aged general in his 30s on the left.

"General Song, when we are one mile away from the Tang army, you will lead 1 cavalry as the vanguard and attack the Tang army blocking the road."

"This general will lead 3 infantrymen as the rear army, following behind your cavalry to attack us!"

After a few breaths, there was still no response.

When Choi Hyuk-hyun saw the timid look on the middle-aged general's face, his short eyebrows instantly raised.

"Humph!"

"General Song, you command the most elite cavalry under our command, why do you have such an expression?"

"Could it be that you don't dare to attack the Tang army?"

"If you are not up to the task, I will have no choice but to replace you with someone more capable as the cavalry commander!"

Hearing the cold tone of Lisa Cui Hexian, the middle-aged general surnamed Song hurriedly clasped his fists and said.

"Cui Lisa, please calm down. I just think that the two armies are about to have a big battle and the battlefield will be more dangerous."

"My Lord, you are such a wise man that you shouldn't stay in such a dangerous place. I should escort you to Liaodong City first."

Although he said that he was doing it for Cui Hexian, he actually had a fear of the Tang army in his heart.

The Tang army captured more than 20 cities in a row, annihilated tens of thousands of their colleagues, and even defeated the fierce general Yang Wanchun.

He felt that relying on only 40,000 infantry and cavalry to deal with tens of thousands of Tang troops would not be a good option.

It would be better to return to Liaodong City and let the Tang army attack the city. Once the Tang army's strength is almost exhausted, the Tang army will naturally retreat.

Our ancestors used this method and relied on the strong city of Liaodong to repel the million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty.

Hearing that his generals were worried about his safety, Choi Hyuk-hyun's expression eased a little.

He looked around at the generals, then raised his voice and spoke loudly.

"I have already contacted Gao Changyi, the Lisa who is stationed in Liaodong City. We will attack the Tang army head-on later. They will wait for an opportunity to come out from the south gate and launch a sneak attack from behind."

"We have 8 elite troops against tens of thousands of Tang troops. Victory will definitely belong to us!"

Upon hearing that the defenders in Liaodong City would also come out of the city to join them in dealing with the Tang army, the generals all showed a look of relief on their faces.

Although the middle-aged general surnamed Song was still nervous, his fear was reduced a lot because he had tens of thousands of brother troops.

In order to keep his position as general, he quickly clasped his fists towards Choi Hyuk-hyun and said.

"Cui Lisa, I will prepare it right away!"

"When we fight the Tang army later, I will definitely bring you a great victory!"

Then he rode his horse forward and began to mobilize his cavalry to prepare for the next battle.

The distance of 5 miles was quickly approached in the blink of an eye.

Goguryeo's vanguard cavalry could already see the Tang army lined up in front of them.

Especially the large flags with Tang characters on them that were standing and fluttering in the wind made the cavalrymen's eyelids twitch, and a bad premonition instantly lingered in everyone's heart.

When there was still about a mile away, General Song raised the big knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

"All troops, charge forward, follow this general and kill the enemy and gain merit!"

After shouting, he took the lead, reined in his horse and rushed out quickly.

"kill!"

Seeing the general so brave, the cavalrymen behind him spurred their horses and followed him, shouting and killing, shaking the earth.

The Tang cavalry, as unshakable as a mountain, led by an experienced general, quickly came forward.

"clang!"

"boom!"

The two groups of cavalrymen collided head-on, and in an instant there were countless sounds of weapons colliding.

The middle-aged general named Song fought with an old general of the Tang army, and soon he had the upper hand.

Moreover, the rest of the Tang cavalry were also beaten back by their own soldiers.

"The Tang army is so weak?"

"Too weak!"

The middle-aged general surnamed Song and his cavalrymen had this thought at the same time.

It’s time for a cup of tea.

Lisa Cui Hexian also led 2 infantrymen to approach the battlefield. When he saw that the Tang cavalry was beaten by his own cavalry and had no power to fight back, he stood up with his fat body.

"Hahaha, soldiers, did you see it?"

"The Tang army is no better than this!"

Then he drew out the long sword that he was about to cross and shouted in the direction of the battlefield.

"All troops, press forward!"

"Destroy all the Tang troops, leaving no one alive!"

I saw the central army flag beside him waving violently, and then under the command of a group of generals, 2 infantrymen rushed towards the battlefield in an instant.

"Kill!"

As they charged forward, they shouted in encouragement.

Seeing that the Tang army's fighting power was not as strong as rumored, all the infantrymen showed excitement on their faces.

Lisa Cui Hexian stood on the carriage and watched from afar the battle between his soldiers and the Tang army.

He found that although the Tang army was fighting hard, they were still being beaten back and their morale was extremely low.

"Yang Wanchun was beaten by such a weak Tang army and retreated to Anshi City, not daring to come out?"

"It seems that the title of the Tiger of Goguryeo is a bit exaggerated!"

Cui Hexian was full of disdain for Yang Wanchun, a rising military general.

In the chaotic battlefield.

Zhang Jian was being beaten by the Goguryeo enemy general. When he saw the Goguryeo soldiers rushing towards him, he shouted loudly in fear.

"The enemy is fierce, let's retreat quickly!"

"It will be safe once we join up with the rest of the army!"

After Zhang Jian finished shouting, the generals and guards around him also shouted loudly.

"The general has ordered a retreat!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Immediately afterwards, the horn of the Tang army's retreat sounded.

The Tang cavalry and infantry in formation turned around and fled, throwing away all the weights on their bodies as they fled.

The movements are so skillful that it's jaw-dropping.

The middle-aged general surnamed Song shouted excitedly: "Haha, the Tang army is vulnerable. Soldiers, follow me to chase and kill the Tang army!"

"kill!"

A group of cavalrymen were like a pack of vicious wolves. They howled and charged towards the Tang army.

Although the Tang army in front was fleeing in a panic, the thousands of Tang cavalry responsible for covering the rear still held them back.

Liaodong City.

On the wall of the South Gate.

Gao Changyi, the governor of Liaodong City, saw that tens of thousands of Tang troops were defeated by the reinforcements in the wilderness outside the south city, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He turned his head sharply and gave instructions to the generals behind him.

"Hurry up and lead your troops out of the city to attack the Tang army together!"

"In this battle we must annihilate all the Tang troops!"

A middle-aged man with a beard took a step forward, clasped his fists towards Gao Changyi and tried to persuade him.

"Gao Lisa, how about we wait a little longer and beware of the Tang army's trickery?"

Then two more generals stood up and tried to persuade him one after another.

"Gao Lisa, let's leave the city later."

"The Tang army is full of tricks, be careful not to fall into their trap."

They knew very well that Liaodong City was half of their lives, and if they lost Liaodong City, their lives would be gone too.
