Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Hearing Du He's unexpected answer, Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows.

He asked in a deep voice: "Why?"

Du He analyzed and said: "There are 10 defenders and more than 4 civilians in Pyongyang, and we only have more than soldiers!"

"Without a group of generals and the Black Armor Army acting as the first to ascend the city, and adopting the siege tactic of building earthen hills, it would be difficult for the soldiers to rush into the city."

Each tactic must be adjusted accordingly according to different situations.

The number of people on both sides of the enemy is so different that the effect of using the tactic of building earthen hills will definitely be minimal.

Li Chengqian asked curiously: "Du He, do you have any good tactics?"

"Have."

"Come and tell me!"

When Li Chengqian heard that Du He had a way to break into the city, even his tone of voice was full of anticipation.

He is worthy of being his military advisor. Although he is thousands of miles away from Pyongyang, he is still able to make plans.

Du He whispered, "There are more than 30,000 bodies of Xueyantuo soldiers buried outside Ruyi City. I'm afraid they have begun to rot."

"You can ask Hou Junji and his men to throw these tens of thousands of corpses into the city using catapults."

"Within three months, Pyongyang will collapse due to the plague!"

Li Chengqian stupidly turned his head to look at Du He, his expression full of shock.

long silence.

Li Chengqian licked his dry lips and asked, "Du He, are you serious?"

"How can it be false?"

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "Du He, this vicious plan you proposed is really against the will of heaven!"

The dead are the greatest. If he ordered the bodies of the enemy soldiers killed in battle to be dug up, he would probably be impeached by the censor when he returned to Chang'an.

Du He shook his head and said, "Your Highness, when two countries go to war, it's either you or I. If you can't be ruthless, it will be our Tang soldiers who will die."

After a pause, Du He continued.

"Your Highness, we can tell Generals Li Ji, Hou Junji, and Zhang Liang about this method."

"As for whether to adopt it or not, let the three of them make the decision."

When Li Chengqian heard Du He throw the difficult problem back to Li Ji and the others, the worry on his face disappeared.

He hurriedly said, "Du He, write this method down immediately and have someone deliver it to Hou Junji and others early tomorrow morning!"

"alright."

Du He smacked his lips and responded.

After Li Chengqian injured his leg, he was responsible for writing all battle reports and emergency bulletins.

Just as Du He was writing furiously, Li Chengqian thought of Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui again, and he suddenly asked.

"Du He, have Ding Fang, Ren Gui and Jun Mai arrived in Youzhou now?"

Du He raised his head and said, "According to the distance, we should have arrived yesterday."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be fighting with the Xueyantuo army now!"

Li Chengqian said worriedly: "I hope they will have a smooth battle!"

People like him and Du He who stay in Anshi City every day can do nothing but worry.

Du He did not respond to Li Chengqian, but continued to write.

...

Outside Youzhou City.

On the official road 8 miles northwest.

Duomi Khan and Chiyecha led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry. They quickly evacuated towards the official road heading north under the bright moonlight and torches.

Suddenly, a burst of dense horse hoof sounds came from the quiet official road ahead.

Suddenly, a sound like a huge bell came from the darkness.

"Hahaha, we caught him after all!"

"Brothers, kill all of you, Old Cheng!"

After the loud roar, there was a cry of killing that was as loud as a landslide.

"kill!"

The shouts and the rumbling of horses' hooves intertwined together, and a depressing feeling as if a mountain was collapsing came over me.

Chiyecha, who was leading his troops in the front, shouted in horror.

"Enemy attack!"

"Quickly form a battle array to meet the enemy!"

The official road ahead was pitch black, and they had no idea how many Tang cavalry were coming.

This kind of fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.

The vanguard of the Xueyantuo troops quickly formed into several rows. We all raised our weapons forward, our faces filled with panic.

Chiyecha saw that the soldiers standing in the front were all holding swords and scimitars. He frowned and shouted.

"Where did the shield soldiers, spearmen and archers die?"

"Hurry up and roll over to resist the Tang army's cavalry!"

How could he possibly withstand the charge of the Tang cavalry with a blade less than four feet long?

The deputy general explained in a trembling voice: "General, in order to resist the pursuit of the Tang cavalry, when retreating, I will place all the spearmen, shieldmen and archers in the rear army."

"The current front-line soldiers do not have shield soldiers and archers."

There was actually nothing wrong with his arrangement, because the Tang army outside Youzhou City was too intimidating.

Chiyecha frowned and said, "You must hurry to the rear army and bring over the spearmen, shieldmen, and archers!"

"As ordered!"

After the deputy general saluted with his fists, he turned his horse around and galloped towards the rear army.

Chiyecha saw that the Tang army's cavalry had appeared in sight, and he gave orders to the generals of the front army.

"General Mang, you must lead your troops to hold off the Tang army for half a quarter of an hour!!"

"I will return to the central army now to command and dispatch the soldiers for defense!"

The general of the front army, who was wearing two whips, raised the axe in his hand high and said with a serious expression.

"General, please rest assured. I will definitely stop the Tang army!"

"it is good."

Chiyecha nodded, then led Ma Chao to run in the direction of the central army.

Before he could run far, he heard a loud crash behind him and the painful groans of his own soldiers.

Chiyecha looked back and saw that the Tang cavalry had already rushed into their formation.

Moreover, the Tang cavalry, led by a general wearing Ming Guang armor and holding a horse lance, advanced very quickly.

"Or the elite cavalry of the Tang Army?"

Chiyecha's mood was extremely complicated.

When did the Tang army train so many elite cavalrymen and their combat effectiveness is so strong!

When Chiyecha returned to the central army, Duomi Khan asked anxiously.

"Chiyecha, how many Tang troops are there ahead?"

Chiyecha shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no fire on the official road ahead, and I can't guess how many Tang cavalry there are."

"But listening to their shouts and screams, I guess the number of Tang cavalry won't be too many!"

Upon hearing that there were not many Tang cavalrymen blocking his way, Duomi Khan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He then gave the order: "Chiyecha, you must immediately arrange your soldiers to destroy the Tang army that is blocking the road!"

"Anyone who kills the Tang army will be rewarded 10 gold coins!"

"Anyone who kills a Tang general will be rewarded 100 gold coins and promoted three levels!"

There are still tens of thousands of Tang army's main cavalry in Youzhou City. They must rush over as soon as possible and cannot stay in this place for a long time.

"As ordered!"

Chiyecha responded and then went to dispatch the army.
