Jie Liqiang calmly said: "Look, they only have 10,000 people. They want to block our 50,000 royal court's main cavalry? Could it be another Xuanjia army?"
Reality gave Jieli a hard slap in the face. The main force of the Royal Court of Fifty Thousand is indeed good, but the three-piece war horse suit that cannot hold up to Su Lie's group is too cheating. Even a person who is riding a horse for the first time can gallop with this three-piece suit after half a day of practice. Not to mention that Su Lie and his group have been practicing hard for many days, and their horseback skills are no less than those of the opponents in front of them.
Coupled with the Tang Dynasty's sophisticated equipment such as swords, armor, bows and crossbows, although it is not as good as the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, it is still 70% powerful.
"How is this possible? How is this possible? Where did they train this invincible cavalry? It is more powerful than the Luoyang cavalry not long ago! Military advisor, where is the information? Why is there no news at all?" Jie Lihe asked.
Zhao Deyan replied with some disappointment: "It is indeed silent. All the 40,000 war horses in Youzhou are trained in Luoyang. The 40,000 war horses can only train 20,000 cavalry. This is an iron rule. The Tang Dynasty did not hide it at all. This world If there is a place where we can hide such a cavalry from our spies, there is only one place."
where?
"Xiao Rui's Xiaojiazhuang! My subordinates sent countless people to infiltrate and investigate. Unfortunately, the defense here is even worse than that of the Chang'an Palace. Xiaojiazhuang must be hiding some big secrets."
Xiaojiazhuang, Xiaojiazhuang... Is Xiao Rui my natural nemesis of the Turks?
"Report, there is a cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, the banner is General Su of Yunhui of the Tang Dynasty."
Zhao Deyan observed Su Lie's cavalry from a distance and exclaimed: "Su? Could it be that he was the three thousand cavalry general who followed Xiao Rui into the grasslands and fought thousands of miles, Su Lie, the guard of Anle City? He was later promoted to the third rank of Yun General...yes, it must be him."
"Could it be said that this cavalry team was formed by the three thousand people of Fire? Champion, what a champion! In just one year, an elite light cavalry comparable to the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty was trained. Zhao Impressed!"
If he were to know that Xiao Rui and Su Lie only worked together for a few months, I wonder if it would scare him to tears.
Jie Li sighed and said: "That's all, we can't defeat Xiao Rui today. Military advisor, please withdraw your troops."
"Sweat..." Zhao Deyan's face was full of shame.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Victory or defeat is a common thing for a military expert. Xiao Rui is a formidable opponent and will not be defeated so easily." Jie Li did not blame Zhao Deyan. He knew that the other party had tried his best.
Ming Jin retreated his troops, the gong sounded, and both sides on the battlefield looked up to where the sound came from. Countless Turkic soldiers hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield. They had long wanted to withdraw, but unfortunately the city did not Ming Jin, and they would lose their lives if they continued to fight.
Zhao Deyan looked at the hillside in the distance, as if Xiao Rui was right in front of him at this moment, and murmured: "Master Hou, are you really an invincible god? Even if I knew in advance that Xue Li was your spy. Even if I had known Knowing that you have seen through Tu Li, even if I would rather give up 30,000 Tu Li troops just to stop Xue Li for a moment, even if I use 60,000 of Tu Li's weakest soldiers just to spare 50,000 of the royal court's elite cavalry to deal with you, sacrifice There are so many people, but they still can't defeat you..."
Next to him, Li Chengqian said excitedly: "Hey, if you lose, you must be willing to admit defeat. Send me back out of the city quickly."
Jie Li stretched out his hand and took his arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if Ben Khan really likes you, I'd better ask your brother-in-law to come and pick you up in person."
you……
But at this moment, Old Li Jing issued an order from the general of the Central Army, "Don't let go of the Turkic soldiers and horses, pursue them one after another!"
The Tang army pursued them one after another with great momentum, and the Turks all rushed into Dingxiang City in panic. The problem is that the city gate is so big, how much can be entered?
What? ? ?
Jie Li and Zhao Deyan panicked, "What do they want to do? Just break the city and attack?"
Zhao Deyan frowned and said: "Great Khan, if we don't stop our people from swarming into the city quickly, I'm afraid they will really be able to directly enter the city."
The guard beside him suggested: "Great Khan, military advisor, close the city gate immediately."
Jie Li slapped him with his backhand, "Idiot, there are our soldiers and horses below. Closing the city gate means giving up the city. There are no defenders in the city. How can we defend against the Tang army?"
"The emperor sent an order, and all the soldiers and horses gathered in the north of the city to reorganize."
The guard said aggrievedly: "Great Khan, now the Tang army is chasing after us, and our troops are running for their lives. There is no chance to regroup."
Jie Li scolded: "Idiot, most of the Tang army is infantry. With more than 10,000 cavalry, how far can they pursue them?"
The ordering soldier immediately conveyed the order.
Zhao Deyan said: "No, the opponent has a Xuanjia army and Su Lie's 10,000-strong army. If they continue to pursue and kill like this, the casualties will be greater. They want to imitate what we did in the last fight and kill our troops as much as possible. They must. We need to think of a way to get them to stop pursuing us.”
As he said that, he lowered his head and looked at Li Chengqian.
"Great Khan, please allow your subordinates to go out of the city to meet Li Jing and return the prince to exchange for a truce."
After a few breaths of silence, Jie Li nodded and said: "Just listen to the military advisor. If you lose, you lose. There is no difference between admitting defeat now and admitting defeat tomorrow. However, how can you allow the military advisor to go into danger alone? I will personally lead the people down. We will meet in person. Li Jing and Xiao Rui later."
"Don't sweat too much, it's dangerous!" Everyone hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Jie Li said proudly: "It doesn't matter. I am sitting on the grassland. Even if I lose this battle, I still have at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. They dare not touch me."
At Jie Li's insistence, Zhao Deyan ordered someone to drive the chariot. Jie Li stood on the chariot, personally holding the hand of Tang Prince Li Chengqian, and slowly drove out of Dingxiang City.
The pursuing soldiers and horses of the Tang army took a look and saw that someone was coming out of Dingxiang City. A luxurious chariot?
"Jieli, it's Jieli who came out. Follow me and kill him, capture Jieli, and destroy the Turks..." Cheng Yaojin shouted wildly while riding a war horse, holding a horse spear in his hand.
Yuchi Gong and other generals responded one after another, and instead of pursuing the defeated troops, they all headed towards the gate of Dingxiang City.
But when I took a closer look, I realized that Jie Li had a hostage in his hands. Who dared to act rashly?
Zhao Deyan was riding a horse and walking on one side. At this time, he was surrounded by the Tang Army, and no one dared to take action.
"Please ask Marshal Li Jing and the Champion to come out and answer. We, the Great Khan, want to see them."
Li Ji waved his hand to send someone to deliver the news.
Not long after, Li Jing and Xiao Rui came slowly under the protection of hundreds of personal guards.
Jie Li first raised his hands in a Tang salute, "You two, we admit defeat in this battle. The prince will pay you back, please stop pursuing."
Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, "Khan, is this threatening us?"
Jie Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "Of course not, it's just fulfilling the bet. I believe that Marshal Li and the champion are both trustworthy people. The etiquette state of the Tang Dynasty will not fail to follow the rules."
Old Li Jing nodded, "Okay."
Jie Li reached out and patted Li Chengqian's little head, and sighed: "I have been together for many days, and I really like you as a kid. It's a pity, you have to go home after all. Go, you can always do it when you have free time. Come and play in the grassland.”
Li Chengqian looked at each other stubbornly: "Next time I come to the grassland, I will bring an army to take revenge."
Jie Li laughed loudly and said: "Okay, if you are ambitious, I will wait for that day."
Zhao Deyan got off his horse, walked to the chariot, and personally helped Li Chengqian get off.
Li Chengqian wanted to run to Datang quickly, but as soon as he took two steps, he stopped unconsciously. He hesitated, turned around, walked to Zhao Deyan, and bowed as a disciple.
Without saying a word, he turned around and strode towards Old Li Jing.
The corners of Zhao Deyan's eyes were slightly sour, and he felt inexplicable in his heart. The corners of Xiao Rui's mouth curved slightly, thinking that this boy Cheng Qian has finally grown up, and being able to treat Zhao Deyan like this shows that he is very sensible.
After receiving Li Chengqian, old Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Send the order, call for gold and withdraw the troops!"
