Chapter 6: Wei River bank, the war is about to start

"Your Majesty."

"Send an envoy now to send the peace talk letter!"

"Meet Jieli Khan at the bridge at noon tomorrow for peace talks!"

"One day is enough for us to prepare."

Su Liang says.

"Good, good, good, I will send someone!"

"This plan will definitely be flawless!"

His Majesty Li Er looks into the distance, full of smiles.

The ninth year of the Tang Wude era.

August 16th, noon.

North of Changan City, north bank of the Wei River.

The twenty thousand army of the Eastern Turks is stationed here.

At this moment, in the central camp of the Eastern Turks.

Jieli Khan, after reading the handwritten letter of His Majesty Li Er, the Son of Heaven of the Great Tang.

Half-closed his eyes, with his hands behind his back.

Pacing back and forth in the camp...

The letter was just sent by His Majesty Li Er.

The content is exactly inviting him, the Turkic Khan, to meet and talk peace.

"Meet and talk peace on the Wei River bridge, stop the war."

Jieli Khan mutters to himself, his expression obscure.

After a while.

"Hu..."

Jieli Khan suddenly took a deep breath.

"Thirty thousand cattle and sheep, ten thousand horses, one million shi of rice, gold and silver..."

"Calculating this, this trip south is not a loss, it can be considered a full load."

Jieli Khan laughs.

And the cattle, sheep, horses, one million grain, gold and silver he mentioned.

It is exactly the price His Majesty Li Er paid to make him stop the war and talk peace.

It's just a pity that this Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks didn't know.

What His Majesty Li Er said he would give him.

In fact, it was just to make this Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks fall into a trap that had been set long ago!

"Someone, send a letter to the Son of Heaven of the Great Tang."

"I am willing to meet and talk peace, and will meet on the bridge of the Wei River at noon tomorrow."

Jieli Khan waved his hand, with a heroic spirit!

The ninth year of the Tang Wude era, August 17th.

At noon, on the banks of the Wei River.

His Majesty Li Er has already dismounted and walked slowly onto the bridge.

Opposite him, walking slowly, is Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks.

At this moment.

On the north bank of the Wei River, the twenty thousand army of the Eastern Turks has already set up its formation.

That intense killing aura rushed to the sky!

At the same time, on the south bank of the Wei River.

Great Tang Imperial Son-in-law, Prince of Chu, Su Liang, is behind five thousand Black Armor iron cavalry.

Su Liang touches the Overlord Heaven-Splitting Bow in his hand, and is ready to shoot and kill Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks with one arrow...

After a while.

His Majesty Li Er and Jieli Khan finally stopped their steps.

The distance between the two sides is no more than ten steps.

"Jieli, why do you betray the alliance!"

"Now you are leading more than twenty thousand troops south."

His Majesty Li Er scolds loudly, and an imperial temperament instantly erupted.

Instantly took the initiative.

Jieli Khan did not show weakness.

Then he smiled slightly, his tone indifferent, his expression indifferent.

"The world has always been occupied by the strong, and the strong should have the right to speak!"

"Now that our Turkic people are strong, we can naturally do whatever we want!"

"Does the Great Tang Emperor only understand this now?"

His Majesty Li Er stared at Jieli Khan, but sneered in his heart.

Looking at the arrogant and reckless Jieli Khan in front of him.

It was like looking at a cold corpse.

"Hehe..."

His Majesty Li Er sneered and continued.

"Today I finally know that what the sages said is true."

"Barbarians, not educated, the etiquette of the kingly way cannot educate you."

"Betraying faith and righteousness, profit-seeking, shameless to the extreme!"

"I never imagined that there would be such a shameless person in this world today."

"How can you still have the face to live in this world!"

His Majesty Li Er was aggressive, spitting everywhere!

His gaze stared at the Turkic barbarians in front of him, and he sprayed wildly as soon as he opened his mouth!

At this moment.

Jieli himself was completely stunned.

This is clearly not inviting peace talks, it is clearly asking himself to come out and be scolded.

His Majesty Li Er was neither humble nor arrogant, and not panicked at all.

Anyway, he was not far from himself, and his son-in-law's eighteen-stone hard bow was there.

Five hundred steps range, he could take the life of this Jieli brat at any time.

Instantly.

Jieli Khan's face was obviously gloomy.

But His Majesty Li Er couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

At this time.

The peace talks between the two had long been on the verge of collapse.

For this peace talk, Jieli Khan originally thought that this Great Tang Emperor would make concessions.

But now, the facts were completely beyond his expectations.

Jieli's eyes were red, his eyes were splitting, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his gaze stared at Li Er.

Only to see His Majesty Li Er suddenly raise his right hand high, and then fall instantly.

Su Liang, who was in the distance, saw this.

Both hands pulled the bow like a full moon.

"Whoosh..."

Three hundred steps away.

An arrow pierced the void and shot rapidly at Jieli.

The next second.

An arrow pierced Jieli's brow.

Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks, dead!

The ninth year of the Tang Wude era.

August 17th, noon.

Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks died on the bridge of the Wei River.

North bank of the Wei River, the twenty thousand army of the Eastern Turks.

Watching their own Khan being shot and killed by someone on the bridge.

A full twenty thousand people fell into a dead silence.

Only to see the Tang army on the opposite bank of the river, the closest one was three hundred steps away.

At the same time.

Jieli Khan's corpse fell slowly.

It actually faced the side of the Eastern Turkic army.

Those eyes that were staring like copper bells.

Stared fixedly at the twenty thousand army of the Eastern Turks.

Died with eyes wide open!

Just at this moment.

On the north wall of Changan City, a large number of Tang soldiers appeared quickly.

Immediately after.

Ten thousand Tang soldiers roared angrily on the city wall!

"Great Tang is mighty!"

"Great Tang is mighty!"

"Great Tang is mighty!"

The huge roar made many warhorses in the Turkic army jump in shock.

And the twenty thousand Turkic army looked at all this in a daze, their morale had completely wavered.

"I am the Son of Heaven of the Great Tang!"

"Those who offend the Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

His Majesty Li Er stepped forward and shouted angrily.

"Those who offend the Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

"Those who offend the Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

"Those who offend the Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

Instantly, the roar of the mountains and the sea was endless, and many people also shouted in unison!

Accompanied by the roar of the Great Tang soldiers behind him, "Those who offend the Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

His Majesty Li Er seemed to have entered a heroic atmosphere of pointing to the country!

At this moment.

Jieli Khan's nephew, Tuli Khan.

Was also quickly awakened by the roars of the Great Tang army and people.

Looking at his uncle's inexplicable tragic death.

Tuli Khan was almost scared silly.

Seeing the Tang army on the opposite bank, the closest one was three hundred steps away.

Shooting his uncle with one arrow, Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks died instantly.

Tuli Khan panicked...

But Su Liang knew that someone would definitely jump out to avenge Jieli Khan.

The facts were indeed so, when the Turkic army began to fall into noise.

There was immediately a general in front of the north bank of the Wei River.

Drew his scimitar and rode toward His Majesty Li Er.

"Emperor brat, I want to kill..."

But before the cruel words were finished.

He was shot and killed by Su Liang.

At this moment, His Majesty Li Er's face was still extremely calm.

With his hands behind his back, facing the cool breeze on the Wei River, he sneered and stared at the twenty thousand Turkic army opposite.

Just this kind of courage in front of ten thousand troops.

Was enough to make people produce unparalleled respect for the Emperor.

On the city wall of Changan City.

Although most of the soldiers guarding the city had shouted their throats hoarse.

Helpless, they could only retreat.

But the people of Changan City.

Spontaneously swarmed onto the city wall.

Took their place.

Looking at the figure of the Great Tang world on the bridge.

Continued to shout "Those who offend the Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

Suddenly.

"Whoosh..."

North bank of the Wei River, a distance of three hundred and fifty steps.

Another general riding over died instantly.

"Whoosh..."

North bank of the Wei River, a distance of four hundred steps.

A general who had just drawn his sword died instantly.

"Whoosh..."

North bank of the Wei River, a distance of four hundred steps.

The Turkic military flag, the flagpole broke in response.

"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh..."

Arrows pierced the void and shot rapidly at the Turkic generals.

As the Turkic generals were shot and killed one after another.

The morale of the entire Turkic army had gradually collapsed.

And for all this, Tuli Khan was naturally clear.

"Four hundred steps, four hundred steps..."

Tuli Khan muttered to himself, almost scared to pee his pants.

God knows if an arrow will shoot at him in the next moment.

Thinking of this.

Tuli Khan couldn't help but shiver.

Suddenly.

I don't know who shouted loudly.

"Jieli Khan is dead, several generals have been shot, everyone run..."

This person was naturally arranged by Su Liang to continue to disturb the army's heart.

"Jieli Khan is dead, enemy generals are dead, kill!"

Accompanied by Su Liang's order.

The five thousand Black Armor iron cavalry behind him shouted in unison: "Jieli Khan is dead, enemy generals are dead, kill!"

"Jieli Khan is dead, enemy generals are dead, kill!"

"Jieli Khan is dead, enemy generals are dead, kill!"

Instantly, the mountains and plains were full of shouts of killing!

The sky full of arrows, like a storm, came head-on...

Shot at the Turkic army one after another.

Instantly, the Turkic army suffered countless casualties.

At this time, Tuli Khan saw that the army's heart was already in chaos, and roared.

"Retreat..."

"Quickly retreat..."

"Drop all the supplies, quickly retreat..."

At the same time, inside Yunyang County.

The ten thousand Great Tang soldiers led by Yuchi Jingde had already been ambushed here for a long time.

"Hahaha... you Turkic barbarians!"

"I, Yuchi Jingde, have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Those who offend the Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

"Our Great Tang doesn't need prisoners, kill!"

Before the words were finished.

Yuchi Jingde had already ridden and charged!

The next moment, ten thousand Great Tang soldiers inserted from the flank of the Turkic fleeing army, and the Turkic defeated army suffered countless casualties instantly.

At this moment, inside Sanyuan County, it was the same.

The ten thousand Great Tang soldiers led by Cheng Yaojin had already been ambushed here for a long time.

"Hahaha... you Turkic barbarians!"

"Your grandfather Cheng Yaojin has been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Those who offend the Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

"Our Great Tang doesn't need prisoners, kill!"

Before the words were finished.

Cheng Yaojin had already ridden and charged!

The next moment, ten thousand Great Tang soldiers inserted from the flank of the Turkic fleeing army, and the Turkic defeated army suffered countless casualties instantly.

At this moment, Tuli Khan was already sweating profusely.

His legs clamped the horse's belly tightly, and the whip in his hand whipped the horse continuously.

Heading north-northwest, continuing to run wildly.

Now the Turkic army surrounding him was less than one hundred thousand.

And Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, and others also stopped.

No longer leading the army to continue the pursuit, the infantry was really running too slowly.

Anyway, next, there was ten thousand Black Armor heavy cavalry pursuing and killing all the way.

Not to mention that Ningzhou had Li Jing's fifty thousand army.

Waiting for these Turkic barbarians...

Everyone laughed heartily to the sky!

For a long time, the huge pressure brought by the Turkic army pressing on the border.

Finally, at this moment, it was all swept away!

"Kill..."

"Kill..."

"Kill..."

A full half day.

Shouts of killing all over the mountains and plains!

The Great Tang soldiers were like wolves and tigers, clenching their swords, charging wantonly!

Yuchi Jingde, the steel whip waving in his hand, killed countless people in the army.

And Cheng Yaojin was even more brave, holding the Eight-Trigram Flowery Axe, killing into the army like entering no man's land.

No way, the Turkic army's heart had long since collapsed, every Great Tang soldier was covered in blood, eyes red, like a god of slaughter!

South bank of the Wei River.

"Hu..."

His Majesty Li Er exhaled a breath of turbid air deeply.

Staring at the north,

On both the east and west sides of the retreating Turkic army, thousands of heavy cavalry suddenly appeared.

"Hahaha... you Turkic barbarians!"

"I, General Hou Junji, have been waiting here for you all for a long time."

"Those who offend our Great Tang, even if far away, shall be punished!"

"Our Great Tang has no need for prisoners. Kill!"

Before the words had even faded.

Hou Junji had already led three thousand Mystic Armor heavy cavalry in a raid.

The three thousand Mystic Armor heavy cavalry charged out from the east side of the fleeing Turkic army, and in an instant, the Turkic army suffered heavy casualties!

At the same time.

Another voice arrived right on cue.

"Hahaha... you Turkic barbarians!"

"I, General Zhang Gongjin, have been waiting here for you all for a long time."

"Those who offend our Great Tang, even if far away, shall be punished!"

"Our Great Tang has no need for prisoners. Kill!"

Before the words had even faded.

The three thousand Mystic Armor heavy cavalry led by Zhang Gongjin had also arrived in a raid.

Charging out from the west side of the fleeing Turkic army, the Turkic army suffered heavy casualties in an instant!

At this very moment.

Su Liang, in the rear, had also led five thousand Mystic Armor heavy cavalry in pursuit.

The rhythmic sound of horse hooves.

Was like a funeral knell.

"Great Tang Mystic Armor Army..."

Khan Tuli muttered to himself.

He was on the verge of a breakdown, his mental state completely shattered.

In this instant.

Tuli felt only endless regret and despair in his heart!

Staying in his own Mobei grasslands, with beautiful wives and concubines, drinking big bowls of wine and eating big chunks of meat—wasn't that better?

Why did he have to run to the Great Tang with his uncle to stir up trouble?

Truly, if you don't court death, you won't die!

Thinking of his uncle who had already died a miserable death.

At this moment, Khan Tuli's eyes were filled with tears.

No matter what, he had to save his own life first!

He immediately wiped away his tears and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Retreat..."

"Retreat quickly..."

"Abandon all heavy baggage, retreat immediately..."

Meanwhile, within the borders of Yunyang County.

The ten thousand Great Tang soldiers led by Yuchi Jingde had long been lying in ambush.

"Hahaha... you Turkic barbarians!"

"I, General Yuchi Jingde, have been waiting here for you all for a long time."

"Those who offend our Great Tang, even if far away, shall be punished!"

"Our Great Tang has no need for prisoners. Kill!"

Before the words had even faded.

Yuchi Jingde had already spurred his horse and charged in!

The next moment, the ten thousand Great Tang soldiers cut into the flank of the fleeing Turkic army, and the defeated Turkic troops suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

At this moment, within the borders of Sanyuan County, it was the same.

The ten thousand Great Tang soldiers led by Cheng Yaojin had long been lying in ambush.

"Hahaha... you Turkic barbarians!"

"Your grandfather Cheng Yaojin has been waiting here for you all for a long time."

"Those who offend our Great Tang, even if far away, shall be punished!"

"Our Great Tang has no need for prisoners. Kill!"

Before the words had even faded.

Cheng Yaojin had already spurred his horse and charged in!

The next moment, the ten thousand Great Tang soldiers cut into the flank of the fleeing Turkic army, and the defeated Turkic troops suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

Khan Tuli was already drenched in sweat.

He clamped his legs hard against his horse's belly, and the whip gripped tightly in his hand struck the horse incessantly.

He continued to flee frantically in a north-northwesterly direction.

Now, the Turkic army surrounding him was less than one hundred thousand strong.

And Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, and the others stopped while they were ahead.

They no longer led their troops in pursuit; the infantry was simply too slow.

In any case, there were still ten thousand Mystic Armor heavy cavalry in pursuit.

Not to mention that in Ningzhou, there was Li Jing's army of fifty thousand.

Waiting for these Turkic barbarians...

Everyone laughed heartily toward the sky!

The immense pressure brought by the Turkic army's invasion for so long.

Was finally swept away at this moment!

"Kill..."

"Kill..."

"Kill..."

For a full half-day.

Shouts of battle filled the mountains and plains!

The Great Tang soldiers were like wolves and tigers, gripping their swords and blades, charging and killing wantonly!

Yuchi Jingde, wielding his steel whip, slaughtered countless enemies amidst the ten thousand troops.

And Cheng Yaojin was even more valiant, holding his Eight-Trigram Flowery axes, charging through the ten thousand troops as if there were no one there.

There was no help for it; the Turkic morale had long since collapsed. Every Great Tang soldier was covered in blood, their eyes burning red, each one looking like a god of slaughter!

The south bank of the Wei River.

"Hoo..."

Emperor Li Er let out a long, deep breath.

His gaze fixed on the north, watching the Turkic army retreating and fleeing in the distance.

Looking at the dust filling the sky in the north, he laughed heartily.

"This Turkic invasion is all thanks to my virtuous son-in-law!"

"Hmph, the next campaign will be to wipe out the Eastern Turks!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Emperor Li Er's face!

The ninth year of Tang Wude.

August 17th.

In this short half-day.

The two hundred thousand defeated Eastern Turkic troops.

Encountered four separate ambushes.

And were pursued by three divisions of Mystic Armor heavy cavalry!

And the Great Tang's Prince of Chu, Su Liang.

Personally led five thousand Mystic Armor heavy cavalry.

Following right behind the Turks.

Dealing heavy blows to the Turkic army time and time again.

Now, the Turkic army of two hundred thousand was less than one hundred thousand.

Until the sun set in the west.

The Turkic army finally fled out of the Capital Region.

At the same time.

The three divisions of Mystic Armor heavy cavalry had already merged into one.

All silently watching the fleeing Turkic army in the distance!
