Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

After Qin Huaidao left, Li Chengqian sat on the cushion with a frustrated look on his face and sighed. He said with regret.

"Du He, if I had known earlier, I would have listened to your and Su Dingfang's advice and let the army concentrate its forces to deal with Gao Yanshou's 5 infantrymen."

"It's all because I trusted Zhang Jian too much, thinking that he could defeat the enemy's 7 cavalry with infantry!"

"Now that such a good situation has been ruined, I really regret it!"

According to what the soldiers who came back for help said, by the time Su Dingfang and his men led the Black Armor Army over, there would probably not be many people left in Zhang Jian's army.

Du He said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, in war, there are winners and losers."

"Although Zhang Jian lost this battle, as long as the main forces of Hou Junji, Li Ji and Zhang Liang are still there, we don't have to worry."

"There aren't many soldiers left in Goguryeo now, so we still have the advantage."

When Li Chengqian heard Du He mention Hou Junji, his heart was in suspense again.

Hou Junji and his army have not made any sign of any sign until now.

If we were to be defeated by the enemy like Zhang Jian's troops, wouldn't that be the end of us?

There are only 4000 infantrymen left in their Baiyan City. If the enemy comes to besiege the city, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian asked worriedly, "Du He, what should we do if Hou Junji is also not doing well in the battle?"

Could it be that the escape riding skills that Du He and I have practiced so hard will have to be used so soon?

Du He tapped the table gently with his hand. He thought for a long time and then said with relief.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although Hou Junji and his men are facing more enemy forces, their combat effectiveness is far less than ours."

"Perhaps Hou Junji has won a great victory and is busy directing his men to hunt down the enemy."

"There's no point in us getting anxious, just wait for good news!"

There was silence for a long time.

"Hey!"

Li Chengqian sighed heavily and then spoke in a low voice.

"That's all it can do."

...

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the sunset at the turn of spring and summer exudes an enchanting crimson color.

The battlefield is 80 miles away from Baiyan City.

Zhang Jian and the remaining cavalry were still fighting a bloody battle with thousands of cavalry from Wugut City. Their arms were so sore that they had no feeling.

"Hehehe, old man, stop resisting and surrender!"

"Surrender and you will be spared!"

Wugut City general Yang Dachui said with a grim smile as he beat Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian said angrily: "Bah, you are a barbarian, how dare you ask me to surrender!"

As they spoke, their weapons collided again.

"Dang~"

The powerful collision caused Zhang Jian to fall backwards, and the iron spear in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.

Yang Dachui saw that Zhang Jian was at the end of his strength and began to mock him with words.

"Look around, old man. There aren't many of your people left."

"He who knows the times is a hero. Lead your troops to surrender now...!"

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Jian rushed forward with red eyes and stabbed at him with his spear raised high.

"court death!"

Yang Dachui shouted angrily and then fought with Zhang Jian.

The spears and swords collided violently back and forth, creating sparks. No one within a radius of five meters dared to move forward.

Yang Dachui was also a little annoyed.

He had been fighting with this Tang general who was over fifty years old for such a long time, but he still couldn't kill this old man. This made him feel a little embarrassed.

So he swung the sword in his hand faster and with a lot more strength.

Zhang Jian was suddenly in danger.

...

on the hill.

King Yuanfen lay on the soft carriage frame, enjoying the service of his maids and drinking fine wine comfortably.

Hearing that the shouting and screaming below had not stopped, King Yuanfen asked softly.

"Is the battle not over yet?"

A lieutenant ran to the front of the hillside, took a look, then ran back with a happy face and said.

"Report to Yuan Nuo Sa, the Tang army has been surrounded by us, and the number of Tang troops who are still able to resist is estimated to be less than a thousand."

King Yuanfen sat up slightly, frowned, and asked, "Why are there still so many Tang troops?"

"Beat the drums immediately and have Yang Dachui and the others launch a fierce attack!"

"After a day of fighting, the battle should have ended long ago."

The outcome of the battle between Gao Yanshou and another group of Tang troops is still unknown. The longer the battle on their side drags on, the greater the unpredictable risks will be.

He was also thinking about ending the battle here quickly, and then leading the army north to cooperate with Gao Yanshou to encircle and suppress the Tang army.

"As ordered!"

The lieutenant general saluted with a serious expression, then ran towards the drummer behind him.

Not long after, the war drums sounded again.

The sound of drums that resounded through heaven and earth seemed unusually solemn in the red setting sun.

King Yuanfen lay back on the maid's soft thighs and closed his eyes to rest.

On the battlefield below.

After hearing the drum signal for the general attack, thousands of cavalrymen in Wugut City launched a full-scale attack on the remaining Tang army.

Under the enemy's brutal attack, the exhausted Tang army fell one after another.

"Surrender without killing!"

The cavalry of Wugut City attacked frantically while shouting words to shake the morale of the Tang army.

Blood was gushing out of Zhang Jian's body, and he roared hoarsely.

"Brothers, even if we surrender, the enemy will not let us go!"

"It's better to have fewer enemies than to be slaughtered! Kill one and you'll break even, kill two and you'll make a profit!"

"This general will fight to the death with you and will not surrender!"

After hearing Zhang Jian's words, the fighting spirit of these foreign cavalrymen who were thinking of surrendering was rekindled.

at this time.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound was heard on the official road not far to the north.

When the cavalry from Wugut City turned their heads to look, this black heavily armored cavalry, led by three Tang generals, had already rushed to their front.

"When did this Tang cavalry come here?"

The same thought appeared on the faces of the Wugut City cavalrymen roaming around the periphery.

However, seeing that there were only a few hundred Tang cavalrymen, a cavalry general in Wugut City did not take this Tang cavalry too seriously.

He simply sent a general with a few hundred men to meet them.

"Oh!"

After just one encounter, most of the hundreds of cavalry fell, and the Tang army's offensive did not decrease, continuing to advance rapidly.

Moreover, the enemy troops that came to stop them fell down in large numbers.

"what!"

The cavalry generals of Wugut City on the periphery were so shocked that their eyes almost fell to the ground.

He quickly ordered his soldiers to shout: "A group of Tang troops are rushing over!"

Hearing the loud shouts coming from outside, the cavalrymen besieging Zhang Jian turned around to look.

At this moment, Xue Rengui, who was rushing in the front, discovered that Zhang Jian's troops were heavily surrounded by enemy troops, and Zhang Jian was also in danger under the attack of the enemy generals.

Xue Rengui shouted to Su Dingfang: "General Su, I will go and rescue General Zhang first!"

After saying this, he spurred his horse and galloped forward, charging into the battle alone.

Xue Rengui managed to carve out a path through the densely packed enemy troops.

Yang Dachui saw a Tang general wearing silver armor and holding a Fang Tian Huaji, who dared to charge into the battle alone.

So he shouted angrily: "Kill this arrogant Tang general!"
