Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, look..." Dou Shilun decided to respect Li Kuan's opinion.

"Ask them where the Turkic army is." Li Kuan pondered for a moment and then said.

"only!"

The black-armored knight took the order and left, and not long after, he brought back a frontier scout.

"Liu Bing, a humble official, has met His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" After seeing the young prince surrounded by stars and the moon, the visitor immediately knelt down on the ground.

"My uncle...is General Chai in Shuofang City now?" What Li Kuan is most concerned about is whether the only person who can restrain him is still in Shuofang. If he is, he will lead his generals into the grassland and start robbing. Horses, after all, the current baggage is not suitable for long-distance battles at all, so he plans to learn the Huns' tactics: one person rides three horses, two of which are mares. Horse milk is a good thing, and he ordered Dou Shilun to give it to him before. With the five kilograms of tea prepared for each person, Li Kuan felt that it would not be a problem to spend half a year wandering in the grassland.

By the way, more importantly, Li Kuan plans to summon a thousand shadow assassins after going to the grassland this time, and find an opportunity for them to join his team as crossbowmen to fill the shortcomings of the archers, and then the remaining The two thousand people used the banner of their own team to cause havoc everywhere.

Anyway, many tribes in the Eighteen Tribes of the Grassland have betrayed Jieli, such as the Khitan, Mohe, Xi and other tribes where Tuli is located, and the Tiele tribes (such as Xue Yantuo), and the remaining ones have been arranged by Jieli At the border, who can stop his two thousand elites from attacking these tribes that are empty inside?

Of course, Li Kuan would not do anything to kill the old, weak, women and children. It was not because of his wifely kindness, but because there was no such need at all.

Are you kidding? How could His Highness the King of Chu take advantage of the Turks like this?

Li Kuan had already thought about it. When he entered the grassland, he would let the two thousand shadow assassins attack the big tribe, killing only the strong men of the tribe who stayed behind, and then bring the news to the surrounding small tribes.

Of course, when sending messages to small tribes, Li Kuan would not commit murder. He would only let the shadow assassins kill their cattle and sheep.

Well, then the big tribes will have women, children, cattle and sheep, and the small tribes will have strong men and swords and guns.

Li Kuan didn't believe it. Under this situation, how could those tribesmen who left the big tribes fight at the border with peace of mind?

By the way, Jieli's base camp is in Dingxiang City, right?

Li Kuan looked at the heavy cavalry around him and began to consider whether it was feasible to use 1,100 heavy cavalry and 1,100 crossbowmen to attack Xiangcheng for profit while exposing some of his trump cards.

"Returning to His Royal Highness the King of Chu," Liu Bing's voice was a little uneasy: "The general is now in Shuofang City, facing the siege army led by the Turkic general Ashina Simo."

"Huh?!" His Royal Highness King Chu suddenly became excited after he came back to his senses.

"How many people came from the other party this time?"

"The number is estimated to be 20,000, all of them cavalry."

"How many people do my uncle have?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu began to be eager to give it a try.

"It's also 20,000." Liu Bing replied without thinking.

"The opportunity has come..." Li Kuan murmured after hearing this.

On the side, Dou Shilun and Jiang Qu's eyelids trembled. At this time, they both wanted to kill Liu Bing.

"The Turkic army is outside Shuofang City?" Li Kuan thought for a while and confirmed again.

"Yes..." Liu Bing secretly looked up at His Royal Highness King Chu and swallowed subconsciously. Why did he feel that the eyes of the two adults looking at him were dangerous.

"Pass my order! The whole army will advance quickly, bypass Shuofang City, and attack Ashina Simo's central army!" Li Kuan is very similar to His Majesty Li Er in one thing, that is, he acts vigorously and resolutely. Of course, the latter must be called this Decisive, and the former... is called reckless...

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it's inappropriate for you to do this..." Dou Shilun felt that after returning to Chang'an, he would call Yu Shinan out to have a heart-to-heart talk: Is this how you taught His Highness the art of war?

"It's okay, I have confidence in my army!" King Chuman's current thinking is very simple: My father dared to charge a hundred thousand army with three thousand men back then. If I, with one thousand two hundred elite heavy cavalry, could attack me in a mere battle, If you are cowed in front of 20,000 Turks, how can you argue with that foolish king in the future?

Anyway, if it doesn't work, he won't care about whether his trump card is exposed or not. He can directly summon three thousand shadow assassins on the battlefield to clear the way for his cavalry team to break out of the encirclement. Li Kuan estimates that it won't be difficult.

then……

A simple and crude battle plan was formed in this way: His Royal Highness the King of Chuman led his troops to bypass Shuofang City, and used the advantage of the heavy cavalry to launch a cross-attack against the Turkic army from the side. Chai Shao, who was guarding the city, must have seen this. God will give you the opportunity and you should cooperate in a timely manner.

Of course, the last paragraph was forcibly added by Dou Shilun in order to comfort himself. In his words, if a fool thinks a lot, (the King of Chu's unintentional move) he will gain something. (Fortune favors fools……)

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Liu Bing, Li Kuan led his troops over a low slope. He finally saw Shuofang City under the flames of war amid a shocking cry of killing.

The Turks' offensive was very fierce. The 20,000 cavalry troops continued to use bows and arrows as a means of attack, shooting arrows at the city wall in steps, trying to suppress the archers at the top of the city with arrows, and then used wood to break open the city gate.

Li Kuan's position at this time was due south of the battlefield, about three or four miles away from the Turkic army.

"Everyone!" After Li Kuan glanced at the fierce battlefield, he turned and looked at his troops behind him: "I know that you regard me as the head of the family because you have received the favor from my grandmother, and I have no intention of doing so. I doubt your loyalty, so I made such a seemingly reckless decision today: charge the army and kill the generals, trap the enemy in battle and capture the flag!

But gentlemen, you have also seen before how the Turks massacred our Han people. They have always gone wherever they went, leaving no room untouched, no matter the old, weak, women and children! How could we not avenge such a feud? ! "When Li Kuan said this, he slowly took off the long bow from his back, then held the arrow in his hand and said in a deep voice: "And today, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has come to him! "

As Li Kuan spoke, he raised his hand and shot an arrow, killing the Turkic scout who tried to approach them eighty paces away.

The first time he harvested lives on the battlefield, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's heart stopped when he thought of that young man in the small mountain village.

"A man walks between heaven and earth, standing upright and repaying his grudges as he pleases! Come on, gentlemen!" Li Kuan turned to look at the troops behind him. His voice gradually became more and more passionate from low to high!

"Let us tell them what is the direct line combat power of Zhang Xutuo, the most powerful general in the late Sui Dynasty!

Let us tell them what it is that the Xiaoguo Army once feared all over the world and can be called unparalleled in the world!

Let us tell them what the Youzhou Iron Cavalry once roamed across the land of the Turks’ ancestors!

Let us tell them what the real elite of the Han people are and what the new Tang Dynasty is! "

At the end of his sentence, Li Kuan suddenly tightened the reins, and with a long neigh from his strong horse, he stood up: "This time I will kill the enemies. They are all good men. Let us teach them again. They are truly invincible in this world." , what kind of heroic spirit you should have!"

"kill!"

What responded to Li Kuan was the thundering roar of the soldiers. Liu Bing, as a veteran of the army for many years, was also infected at this moment.

"In this battle, I will be the pioneer!" Seeing that the morale of his men had been boosted, Li Kuan didn't even care about his previous promise to Dou Shilun. My father can lead the way, why can't I?

At this moment, a distant eagle cry pierced the sky. As Li Kuan turned around and rushed down the slope, the eagle appeared behind him, as if it was a sign from heaven.

Li Kuan took the lead, followed by thousands of cavalry behind him. At this moment, the wind suddenly picked up, causing the flags on Shuofang City to flutter: Lie Lie said (yue) Tang; in the Turkic army, the big banner (dao) fluttered and fluttered wantonly.

And the young prince led Qianqi into the battlefield without hesitation!

Jiang Sheng, who had been following Li Kuan closely, suddenly remembered a song he had sung as a child. The opening sentence: The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying! (Note 1)
