Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Guo Xiaoke has been through hundreds of battles and has a keen insight into the battlefield situation that has long been ingrained in his bones.

As soon as he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from afar, his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle. Combining the surrounding terrain, he quickly outlined the enemy's situation in his mind and accurately determined that there were cavalry charging from a high position.

Such a dangerous situation might have made ordinary people lose their composure, but Guo Xiaoke remained calm and composed. There was no fear on his resolute face. He immediately and decisively gave the order to form the formation. His voice was steady and powerful, so that every commander around him could hear it clearly.

The Tang army soldiers were all well-trained, and the rigorous training they received on a daily basis showed outstanding results at this moment.

They acted upon hearing the order and took action quickly. With their agile and nimble movements, they formed a six-layer shield formation in a moment with perfect coordination.

The soldiers in the front row knelt on one knee, their knees slamming heavily on the ground, splashing some dust, and then they inserted their shields deeply into the ground, their arms tense and their muscles bulging.

The soldiers in the back row raised their shields high, stacking them up layer by layer and connecting them tightly. The shields were tightly clasped together, leaving only gaps for the long spears to stick out. The tips of the long spears faintly exuded a deadly aura.

Just when the Western Turkic cavalry was about to charge the front, at that critical moment, a neat and loud shout suddenly rang out from the Tang army: "Fire guns ready!"

The shout shook the sky.

Behind the shield formation, rows of Tang army soldiers looked determined, their eyes showing fighting spirit, and they quickly picked up their muskets.

They moved swiftly, aiming their black muzzles at the aggressive Western Turkic cavalry.

With a command, muskets fired in unison, and flames and smoke instantly spread in front of the formation.

The loud "bang bang bang" sounds were continuous and deafening, and the sound made the air tremble.

The Western Turkic cavalry in the front row were hit by the powerful impact of the muskets before they could react.

Many cavalrymen were thrown to the ground with their horses, and for a moment, people and horses were lying on the ground, screaming in pain.

The originally unstoppable momentum of the charge was abruptly curbed by this sudden round of shooting, and the orderly offensive instantly became chaotic and stagnant.

The fallen corpses in the front row and the injured and struggling horses tripped up many of the charging cavalrymen in the back, completely disrupting their charge rhythm and throwing their formation into chaos.

But the Western Turkic cavalry was numerous and powerful after all, and the subsequent cavalry soon surged forward.

They brandished their scimitars, shouted earth-shaking roars, and moved forward with an indomitable momentum.

The first batch of cavalrymen slammed into the shield formation of the Tang army. With a loud "bang", the huge impact force caused the shields in the front row to dent instantly. Several Tang soldiers were shocked and vomited blood. Several people were directly knocked out and fell heavily to the ground.

The Tang army soldiers were not afraid at all. The soldiers in the back row quickly rushed forward, their eyes filled with burning fighting spirit, and they held their ground firmly.

"A bunch of barbarians, thinking they can use their numbers to shake the Tang army?"

A Tang army general shouted angrily.

"The Tang army can lose, but we must never lose to the barbarians."

This is also the main source of the morale of the Tang Dynasty. In the minds of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, except for the Tang Dynasty, other places are monkeys. How can people lose to a group of uncivilized monkeys?

Isn't this extremely embarrassing?

Long spears like a forest protruded from the gaps in the shields.

Faced with the crazy charge of the Western Turkic cavalry, the Tang army shouted in unison, and the shouts gathered into an overwhelming force.

The long spear thrust out suddenly, and the spear tip accurately pierced the enemy's body and horse. The Western Turkic army was immediately thrown to the ground, screaming in pain, and suffered heavy casualties.

Their charge was forcibly repelled by the Tang army, and the originally neat formation became chaotic and scattered around the battlefield.

Seeing that the enemy's formation was in disarray and the time had come, Guo Xiaoke showed a grim smile on his face, which revealed his certainty of victory.

The situation has reversed!

He raised the Tang sword in his hand high and shouted loudly: "My men, kill the enemy and serve the country, now is the time!"

The Tang cavalry responded to the noise and rushed out of the battle formation. They divided into several teams and, like unsheathed blades, they zigzagged and outflanked the Western Turkic army.

The war horses galloped, raising clouds of dust that covered the sky.

The Tang cavalry, using their superb riding skills and tacit coordination, charged back and forth among the Western Turkic forces. Their movements were swift, and their lances wielded with each swing brought a bloody storm, the crimson blood staining the battlefield like a hellish hell.

Under the fierce counterattack of the Tang army, the Western Turkic army was unable to fight back and was defeated step by step.

"Kill! Don't let a single enemy soldier escape!" Guo Xiaoke roared loudly in the rear, encouraging them to fight bravely.

A small group of Tang cavalrymen made a detour from the flank. Their horses were extremely fast and, using the flying dust as cover, they suddenly appeared behind the flank of the Western Turkic army.

"Come on!"

"Kill all these bastards!"

The captain of the Tang army shouted, and the sound cut through the sky. The cavalrymen instantly rushed into the enemy formation like tigers pouncing on their prey, waving their swords and reaping the lives of the enemy.

The Western Turkic cavalry turned around in horror to respond, but they were already in disarray. They collided with each other and trampled on each other. The scene was in chaos.

On the front battlefield, the Tang army's long spears and the Western Turkic scimitars kept colliding. The Tang army soldiers cooperated closely, with the front row stabbing with long spears and the back row delivering a fatal blow at the right time.

A Tang army soldier's long spear was chopped off by the enemy's scimitar, but he was not afraid. He quickly drew the sword from his waist, rushed forward, and instantly chopped down two Western Turkic cavalrymen.

?8?0 and Li Fu tried to reorganize resistance in the chaos. He shouted frantically, waving his scimitar to urge the soldiers to fight back. His eyes were bloodshot and his expression was ferocious and terrifying.

But the morale of the Western Turkic army had collapsed, and no one listened to his orders anymore. The soldiers were only concerned with fleeing in all directions in order to save their lives.

?8?0 and Li Fu couldn’t figure it out, he really couldn’t figure it out!

Everything was ready, how could we lose?

And he lost so quickly and so quickly!

In his expectation, there was no possibility for the Tang army to survive!

He looked at the Tang army with fear in his eyes. The fear followed him like a shadow and was deeply rooted in his heart.

The fighting power of the Tang army planted a seed of fear in his heart, making his soul tremble.

He now had only one thought in mind: to run! The farther the better, to escape this nightmare battlefield.

In the distance, another squadron of Tang cavalry arrived, holding high the Tang flag, which fluttered in the wind.

This force formed a siege with the Tang army in front, trapping the Western Turkic army in the middle.

The Western Turkic cavalry looked at the Tang army that was like wolves and tigers around them, with despair in their eyes. Their will to fight completely collapsed, and they sat on their horses in a daze, at a loss.

?8?0 and Li Fu saw that the situation was hopeless and regained their spirits. If they did not fight to the death, they would only die.

"Warriors, charge out! Staying here means waiting for death!"

?8?0 and Li Fu's words reminded the dazed Western Turkic cavalry.

They rekindled their fighting spirit.

?8?0 and Li Fu led the remaining cavalry to fight bravely. They brandished their scimitars, roared in despair, and engaged in a desperate struggle with the Tang army. Only then did they fight their way out of the encirclement.

The captured Yanqi King Long Tuqizhi felt relieved when he saw the Western Turkic army approaching.

The Western Turkic cavalry could break through the Tang army's defense line, so they would have a chance to survive and would not have to be escorted to Chang'an for trial.

His eyes gleamed with a desire to survive, and he shouted to the Tang soldiers guarding him, "It's difficult for you Tang to win now. Why not let me go? When the Western Turks win, you will definitely benefit!"

The soldier glared at him and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense!"

That look was full of contempt for him.

Long Tuqizhi still refused to give up and continued to shout: "Don't be stubborn, the Western Turkic cavalry is unstoppable!"

The soldier snorted coldly: "How can you slander the might of our Tang Dynasty army?"

There was confidence in that voice.

As the Western Turkic army suffered a crushing defeat, that glimmer of hope was instantly shattered and despair enveloped him again.

His face turned as pale as paper, his body trembled slightly, and he had completely lost all his support.

The reason why these Western Turkic cavalry were able to charge out was not because they were really powerful, but because Guo Xiaoke specifically left them a way to survive.

If we really block all the ways to survive, it will be a fight to the death, and will only increase the casualties on our side.

Sometimes, giving the enemy a way to survive can achieve better strategic results.

Watching the Western Turkic cavalry run away.

Guo Xiaoke then drew his sword, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"The Western Turks dared to launch a surprise attack on our Tang Dynasty! Bad boys, chase them! I will kill them and make sure they never dare to look at our Tang Dynasty again!"

The Tang army was in high spirits and chased the enemy all the way. The shouts of killing echoed in the wilderness and swept across the entire battlefield.

The remaining Western Turkic troops threw away their weapons and armor and fled desperately. They looked helpless and miserable in the wilderness, like dogs that had lost their homes.

?8?0 and Li Fu were completely frightened when they saw the Tang army chasing them from behind.

It was they who launched the ambush and started the war, but now they were being chased and killed by the Tang army. This huge contrast filled his heart with fear.

Scary, so scary!

The Tang army chased the enemy for dozens of miles, killing only less than a hundred Western Turkic cavalrymen before turning back.

It’s not that I can’t catch up, but I simply feel it’s a waste of time, and the fear also needs someone to take it back.

They wanted to make the Western Turks and the entire Western Regions deeply aware that the majesty of the Tang Dynasty could not be violated, and any force that attempted to challenge the Tang Dynasty would suffer a devastating disaster.
