Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

I don’t know how long the bloody battle lasted, but suddenly a rhythmic drum beat was heard from behind the enemy.

The drumbeat seemed to be an agreed signal. The thousands of Wugut cavalrymen who were besieging the Tang army's infantry retreated without hesitation and quickly evacuated the battlefield.

Under Zhang Jian's puzzled gaze, these thousands of Wugut City cavalrymen actually attacked the Tang cavalry from behind.

Zhang Jian's face turned pale instantly.

"It happened!"

"Something big is going to happen!"

The Tang cavalry, which had originally been in an advantageous position, was instantly disrupted by the attack from behind by thousands of enemy cavalry.

The enemy cavalry, which had been defeated in the front, also began to press forward towards the Tang army.

The situation of the Tang cavalry suddenly became critical!

Zhang Jian quickly ordered: "Let's go and support the cavalry!"

After giving the order, Zhang Jian, along with several personal guards, rode his horse anxiously and rushed forward.

The remaining infantry also rushed towards the cavalry battlefield.

The cavalry was their greatest reliance. Once the cavalry was annihilated, their remaining 2000-plus infantrymen would be lambs to be slaughtered.

In the wilderness, their legs could not outrun the enemy cavalry.

On the hillside.

A sneer appeared on King Yuanfen's lips.

He gave the order in a cold tone: "The Tang army's infantry formation is in disarray, so let Yang Dachui's 2000 ambush troops take action!"

"As ordered!"

A deputy general behind him shouted excitedly.

Then he turned and ran to the back, giving orders to a group of drummers.

"Beat the drum to signal General Yang to lead his troops to attack!"

Soon the bass drum started beating again, and the rhythm of the drum changed again.

Zhang Jian, who had defeated two enemy cavalrymen in a row, felt something was wrong after hearing the strange drum sounds.

Before he could react, another cavalry rushed out from the valley on the left.

And the direction they were rushing towards was the Tang army's infantry.

Zhang Jian was shocked and he immediately shouted loudly.

"Enemy cavalry sneak attack!"

"Hurry up and form a formation on the spot!"

His loud shouts did not get heard but were drowned out by the shouts and screams all around him.

In fact, Zhang Jian didn't need to remind them, as the Tang army infantrymen who were rushing had already discovered the enemy cavalry on the left.

Under the orders of several brave and courageous captains, they formed a battle formation in a panic.

But it's too late.

Before the Tang army's infantry could form a formation, the enemy's cavalry had already charged over.

2000 well-rested cavalrymen charged into a group of 2000 infantrymen who had fought a bloody battle. The result was self-evident.

The cavalry ruthlessly tore through the formation of the Tang army's infantry. Holding their spears high, they slaughtered the Tang army's infantry in large numbers.

Zhang Jian’s eyes were red with anger after seeing this scene.

He quickly shouted to the guards around him: "Hurry back to Baiyan City and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send people to help!"

"promise!"

A personal guard rushed out of the battlefield and ran wildly towards Baiyan City.

Hundreds of cavalrymen from Wugut City who were stationed on the outermost edge wanted to intercept and kill the Tang army, but they were blocked by the twenty or so cavalrymen sent by Zhang Jian.

They could only watch the Tang army flee the battlefield.

...

White Rock City.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Li Chengqian, Du He, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai sat in the hall with serious expressions.

The atmosphere was a little depressing.

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Half a day has passed. Hou Junji and Zhang Jian's armies should have finished their battle, right?"

"Why hasn't anyone been sent back to deliver the message after so long?"

According to Su Dingfang's estimation, if the battle went well, it could almost be over by now.

Du He said anxiously, "It's not a good idea to just wait like this. Let's send someone to investigate and see what the battle situation is like on both sides."

At this moment, Qin Huaidao, who was stationed at the west gate, rushed in hurriedly with a soldier covered in blood.

Qin Huaidao shouted as he walked, "Your Highness, something happened to Zhang Jian's troops!"

what!

problem occurs!

Li Chengqian, Du He and others all stood up in shock.

The soldier covered in blood said in a panic: "Your Highness, we and the cavalry of Wugut City met in a wilderness 80 miles away from Baiyan City, and a fierce battle broke out."

"This group of enemy cavalry is very powerful and good at using strategies. We were badly defeated."

"Before I came back, more than half of the infantry and cavalry had been killed. Now General Zhang and the remaining soldiers are struggling to resist!"

"Your Highness, please send reinforcements to rescue us!"

Having said this, the soldier, covered in blood, knelt down before Li Chengqian and kowtowed heavily several times.

Upon hearing the bad news, the hall fell into a brief silence.

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "All the cavalry have been taken out by Hou Junji and Zhang Jian. By the time the 4000 infantry in the city run over, I'm afraid the battle will be over long ago."

Moreover, if 4000 infantrymen were allowed to encounter the enemy's elite cavalry in the wilderness, they would probably be annihilated.

At this moment, Du He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, we still have a cavalry!"

Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "Black Armor Army?"

Du He nodded: "It's the Black Armor Army!"

When he heard that Du He wanted the Black Armor Army to go to the rescue, a look of conflict instantly appeared on his face.

This enemy cavalry is not only powerful, but also numerous. What if we send out 300 Black Armored Soldiers and they get killed in the end?

The Black Armor Army is his father's ace guard. If they are killed while rescuing a large alien army, it would be a loss.

Du He urged loudly: "Your Highness, there is no time to hesitate, send the Black Armor Army out!"

"The Black Armor Army is a group of heavily armored cavalry. If they are led by three powerful generals, Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai, and Xue Rengui, they might be able to turn defeat into victory!"

"Once Zhang Jian's troops are completely wiped out, this cavalry from Wugut City will continue to move north to attack Hou Junji's troops!"

"When the time comes, all of our 2 central troops will have to be killed here!"

Although Du He also hated Zhang Jian's failure, for the sake of the overall situation, he had to send the army to rescue.

Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui also bowed to Li Chengqian and said.

"Your Highness, I will fight you!"

Li Chengqian glanced at Du He with a serious face, then glanced at the three tall and fierce generals, and said with gritted teeth.

"I agree!"

"Remember to focus on rescue and don't fight to the death!"

Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui said in unison: "Yes!"

Then they strode out of the hall with the soldiers who were bleeding all over.

Qin Huaidao also said loudly: "Your Highness, I also want to fight."

Du He shook his head and said, "Huai Dao, several generals and the Black Armor Army have been sent out now. You need to stay in Baiyan City to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Thinking that the two powerful generals Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui had also gone out, he instantly felt a pressure on his shoulders.

"promise!"

Qin Huaidao said with a serious expression.
