Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

However, Chai Shao was too impatient after all, his movements were too big and disturbed the horses.

If Su Dingfang hadn't pulled him away in time, he would have fallen under the horse's hoof by now.

The impact of the horseshoe is already powerful, and it is undoubtedly more powerful when combined with the horseshoe.

If he gets kicked hard this time, it will be a question of whether Chai Shao can return to Chang'an, let alone go to Tuyuhun.

However, Chai Shao had just walked out of the ghost gate, and his eyes were even more fiery.

He said excitedly: "How many horseshoes like this do you have here? Can you let the Youwuwei cavalry try it!"

Su Dingfang smiled and said: "There are a lot of them. The prince knows that Huo Guogong will be very happy, and he has already asked Hexi to send tens of thousands of horseshoes."

"These days I'm also training soldiers to install shoes."

"If Huo Guogong is willing, the installation can start now."

Hearing that Li You had made arrangements, Chai Shao was even more delighted.

He finally figured out why Li You asked him to come here, this surprise was really too great.

Next, the master sent by the Hexi Workshop personally operated, and first installed horseshoes on the horses of Chai Shao and his party.

Seeing the master skillfully trimming the horseshoe, and then imprinting the red-hot horseshoe on the horseshoe, and finally nailing it, Chai Shao became more and more excited.

As the leading general, he had already thought of many benefits of the horseshoe, and he couldn't wait to get on the horse after nailing it.

After running for a while, he obviously felt that the horses under him seemed to run more vigorously.

Moreover, the crisp sound of the hoofs on the ground also makes the whole running more rhythmic.

It seemed that following that voice, controlling the horse became a lot easier.

After dismounting, Chai Shao immediately asked his subordinates to bring all the troops over, making sure to install the horseshoes in the shortest possible time.

However, there are still too few people in Chongzhe Mansion here. Although Su Dingfang has trained as many soldiers as possible, he can only nail the hooves of about [-] horses every day.

Considering the battle ahead, Chai Shao rested again for two days, and then set off with [-] elite troops, while the rest of the troops were handed over to the lieutenant general, who mounted horseshoes and rushed to Minzhou at full speed.

Three days later, in Minzhou and Zhengjun City, Li Daoyan, the governor, frowned as he watched the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun troops outside the city.

Li Daoyan is also from Li Tang's clan, he is the eldest son of Li Shentong, King of Huai'an, he joined the army with his father, and has experienced hundreds of battles for more than ten years.

Since coming to Minzhou last year, he has noticed that Tuyuhun is about to move, so he has not relaxed Minzhou's armament for a moment.

Thanks to this, he reacted the first time Tuyuhun invaded and reported to the court in time.

It has been more than ten days since he sent out the call for help, but the reinforcements from the imperial court have not yet arrived.

At this time, Li Daoyan hesitated in his heart.

At this moment, the Tuyuhun army was fully preparing to attack the city, and in his opinion, it was an excellent time to attack.

If the opponent is allowed to complete all the equipment and build the barracks, even if the reinforcements arrive, they will be able to counterattack and lose even more.

But on the other hand, the enemy was numerous and powerful. If he attacked rashly and fell into the enemy's ambush, then the Hezheng County behind him would definitely be unable to continue to resist Tuyuhun's army.

And Minzhou, the barrier to the west of the Tang Dynasty, will also fall.

Seeing the completion of the enemy's fortification step by step, Li Daoyan was also extremely anxious.

His mind bounced back and forth between defending and taking risks.

In the end, he broke his heart and shouted: "Come on, get ready and prepare your horse!"

Li Daoyan chose to fight between making up his mind and lingering on his last breath, and paying a greater price in the future for a tragic victory and a decisive attack.

The Tuyuhun army, which was building fortifications with all its strength, was also surprised to see the Tang army going out to fight. They had no idea that the Tang army would still have the courage to fight despite being outnumbered.

Murong Fuyun quickly organized an army and came to the front to confront the Tang army.

Seeing that the formation on the opposite side has been organized, Li Daoyan has no waves in his heart.

He patted his horse and stepped forward, shouting loudly: "Murong Fuyun, listen carefully, Gaozu formed an alliance with you back then and returned the youngest son."

"But you broke your promise and invaded our Datang border many times."

"Back then you were defeated by Chai Shao. In order to stabilize the country, you expressed your surrender again. Gaozu Nian fought side by side in the two countries in the past, and promised to be with you again."

"You were going to get married last year, and my emperor has already agreed."

"Now that you are attacking again, do you really want to bury your whole country of Tuyuhun?"

"Take a good look at the weapon in your hand, maybe it is the aid of Datang back then!"

"Are you really going to be a treacherous person!"

Li Daoyan's words were impassioned, not only the ordinary soldiers of Tuyuhun, but even Murong Fuyun was a bit ashamed.

Seeing that the morale of the Tuyuhun army was low, one person beside Murong Fuyun stood up.

This person is Tuyuhun Tianzhu King, and also the person Murong Fuyun trusts the most.

This Tianzhu King is not easy to say, he was originally an indigenous wizard, and he is best at demagoguery.

The dispute between Tuyuhun and Datang was to a large extent instigated by the Tianzhu King.

Seeing that Tuyuhun's morale was low at this moment, King Tianzhu stood up.

"All Tuyuhun warriors, don't listen to the nonsense of this Datang monster."

"Back then there were rumors that Yang Hua Xie and Li Hua bloomed, implying that Li Tang could win the world."

"Recently, my king has also received a revelation from the gods, and he can enter the Central Plains."

"Everything we do is in accordance with the destiny, the ancestors and gods of Tuyuhun are with you!"

Sure enough, after these words, Tuyuhun's morale rose sharply, and everyone looked like they were asking for a fight.

Seeing the enemy's stubbornness, Li Daoyan was not afraid. He drew out his sword, pointed at the enemy who was several times stronger than the Tang army, and spoke impassionedly.

"The generals listen to the order. Behind us is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty. We must not take half a step back."

"For the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and for the peace of the people, let's go."

"Let us use sharp swords and sharp knives to let these Tuyuhun barbarians know that China is invincible."

"Even if there are ancestors and gods behind them, we have to tell them loudly."

"Huaxia ahead, the gods are forbidden!"

After speaking, Li Daoyan was the first to take the lead and charged against Tuyuhun's troops.

The main general charges, and the whole army is naturally brave.

Thousands of Minzhou defenders followed Li Daoyan and rushed into Tuyuhun's position.

It was just the first wave of charge, and the battle became intense.

One side is a fanatical believer who was bewitched by a wizard, and the other side is a Tang general who defends his home and country. The battlefield soon entered a stalemate.

Soon the disadvantage of the Tang army's insufficient numbers was manifested. There were often two or three Tuyuhun soldiers staring at each Tang army soldier, and Li Daoyan's personal guards fell one by one.

"Captain, if we break through at this time, we still have a chance!"

One of Li Daoyan's personal guards spoke.

However, Li Daoyan glanced back at the city behind him, his expression was very decisive: "Bastard, do you want me to leave the city and flee!"

"This is impossible, even if I die today, I will die here!"

Li Daoyan's stubbornness aroused Tang Jun's blood again, and they gathered together again and charged towards the Tuyuhun army.
