I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

In Beizhou City, after Cui Jingming received the news of the arrival of the imperial army, he immediately summoned the generals of the coalition forces of the aristocratic families.

His expression was stern, his eyes gleaming with ruthlessness as he paced back and forth in the conference room. He then suddenly stopped and said loudly, "Everyone, the imperial army has come from afar and must be exhausted by now."

"Besides, since they have just arrived here, their defenses must not be fully prepared. This is a godsend opportunity!"

"If we can seize this opportunity to take the initiative and attack, we will surely catch them off guard, enhance the prestige of our family, and let the imperial court know that we are not to be trifled with!"

Upon hearing this, the generals from the noble families looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although they were wary of the imperial army, seeing Cui Jingming's determination and resoluteness, and thinking that if they could really repel the imperial army in one fell swoop, their prestige among the aristocratic families would surely rise in the future, they responded one after another.

"Mr. Cui is absolutely right. We must let the imperial army taste the power of our coalition of aristocratic families!" The speaker was Lu Xiang, a general of the Lu family.

He commanded the Lu family's troops and 20,000 Fanyang soldiers, and was always brave and warlike.

"That's right, before they can gain a foothold, we'll kill them all!"

Zheng Hu from the Zheng family also echoed.

Seeing everyone was united, Cui Jingming nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, "Alright! Assemble the troops immediately, open the city gates, and set off!"

The gates of Beizhou City were wide open, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The coalition forces of the aristocratic families surged out like a tide and rushed towards the imperial army camp.

On the court side, the sentry was the first to discover the enemy attack and hurriedly blew the horn to warn them.

The sharp sound of the horn instantly broke the tranquility of the camp, and the originally busy camp suddenly began to run at high speed like a sophisticated war machine.

Zhang Xianhuai still didn't expect that Cui Jingming would make such a decisive decision and act so quickly.

He reacted quickly, shouting out orders: "Fifth Battalion, prepare for the first round of firearms attack! The rest of the armies, follow in order to meet the enemy!"

"Infantry, quickly form a shield wall for defense. Archers, occupy the high ground and prepare to shoot. Cavalry, stand by and follow my orders!"

The soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp had already been on full alert. After hearing the order, they waited for the Shijia troops to approach.

The firearms at this time are not very powerful and only have a one-time effect.

The range is also around 230 meters.

So you have to wait until the distance is close before firing.

What was unexpected was that when the cavalry of the coalition forces of the aristocratic families in the front row rushed over, the soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp could see clearly that they all had a shield on their backs.

When he was about to get close, he simply pushed the shield behind him forward.

For a moment, the cavalry of the aristocratic family rushed directly into the camp of the Five Army Camps.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp fired a round and then put away their firearms.

He drew his knife and fought against the aristocratic cavalrymen charging from the front row.

Cui Jingming in Beizhou City couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

The Tang army used firearms to attack Tubo in Songzhou. How could Cui Jingming not be on guard against this?

Qin Ruzhao's eyes widened as his blood boiled. He grabbed his spear, jumped on his horse, and shouted to the soldiers around him, "My men, follow me and kill the enemy!"

"Don't let the enemy underestimate the might of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Today, let them know how foolish it is to proactively provoke the imperial army!"

After saying this, he took the lead and rushed towards the enemy like a tiger descending the mountain.

Qin Ruzhao rushed into the enemy camp with an agile posture and his spear was like a dragon. Every time he swung it, a splash of blood was brought up. Wherever he went, the enemy soldiers fell down one after another.

They were so brave that they managed to tear a hole in the enemy's charge and block the first round of the coalition forces' attack.

Under the command of the generals, the court's 100,000 infantrymen quickly formed a tight shield wall, with long spears standing in rows, and defended like a hedgehog.

Infantry commander Li Gang stood in front of the formation and shouted, "Brothers, hold steady! Don't disrupt the formation!"

"Today is the day for us to demonstrate the prowess of the Tang Dynasty infantry. We will fight to the death!"
