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

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.
