When the last drum stopped, Chen Fei finally barely reached the main tent with the support of Hu Di. Li Ji glanced at the three of them and didn't pay any more attention to them.

The people in the camp are all bigwigs, and everyone has a faint evil aura on them, obviously they are all people who have experienced the sea of swords. Chen Fei is a rookie on the battlefield, and he made a very wise choice to stand at the end.

In front are a group of middle-level generals, and the first three are the commanders of this march, Li Ji, Hou Junji, and Li Daozong.

Li Ji, who was standing in the middle, saw that everyone was due, and stepped forward to speak. "Generals, the Taiji Palace has just sent a holy decree, Your Majesty ordered me to set off one day in advance, the original plan was to send troops the morning after tomorrow, but now it is advanced to tomorrow morning, please step up your preparations before the battle, and be sure to handle all affairs before tonight. Tomorrow, General Hou will lead 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard, go to the north first, and follow the baggage and the army behind, do you still have any questions? ”

"The last general obeys!" The generals in the military tent shouted in unison.

"Good! Then each general reports on the military affairs under his command, ends the meeting as soon as possible, and makes the final preparations before the departure! ”

...........

After a report, Li Ji had a general understanding of the situation of his subordinates, and in general, the time was in time, so he was also relieved.

The meeting quickly dispersed, but the atmosphere in the barracks immediately became tense. Tomorrow morning will send troops, today must be prepared for all matters, each captain has accelerated the speed to urge the soldiers below, a little short-tempered will take out a whip and whip a few slow. The tent was filled with a cacophony of shouting.

Chen Fei went to the military doctor to put on some pain-relieving ointment and put it on his buttocks, and he only prayed that his butt would not hurt when he rode a horse tomorrow.

And he was very envious of Yin Ping, he was like no one after receiving twenty military sticks, and he had already known that his twenty military sticks let him take them.

Everything was faster than expected, and early the next morning, before dawn, 50,000 people gathered neatly on the school grounds. There were no extra words, after killing the prisoner sacrifice flag, Li Ji set off, the school yard was dusty, and the army set off in a mighty way.

When the army was mobilized, Li Shimin did not lead the ministers of the DPRK and China to march for the soldiers as usual, and only when the army stepped on the official road did he see Li Shimin's carriage and the ministers of civil and military affairs waiting on the roadside. It is enough to see how rushed the expedition was.

When they met on the way, Li Shimin just poured a glass of wine for the soldiers, and did not say too much. The soldiers paused slightly, waiting for Li Ji, Hou Junji, and Li Daozong, the three main generals, to come forward to say goodbye to Li Shimin, and then silently embarked on the journey, and their morale was inevitably a little low.

Until he walked a certain distance, he suddenly came out behind him, "Datang Wansheng!" Datang Wansheng! Datang Wansheng ......"

The roar was loud and pierced through the sky. The soldiers who marched silently stiffened, and a stream of heat flowed back in their chests.

I don't know who took the lead and followed the sentence "Datang Wansheng", and the team of 50,000 people immediately shouted in unison, "Datang Wansheng!" Wansheng! The birds flew from the tips of the trees, and the roars could still be heard clearly for miles, and the morale of the soldiers rose to the highest level.......

The northern grassland, the western part of the Beiting Prefecture, and the western part of the Imperial Palace. Suddenly. On the border of the Turkic border, in the vast grassland, a ruined earthen city looks a little abrupt.

On the north side of the city, there were some carcasses, which attracted vultures and eagles to peck at them. A closer look at the bodies reveals that some of them were dressed in Tang costumes, while others were dressed as herders.

In and around the ruined earthen city, there are a large number of soldiers moving.

A closer look reveals that these soldiers are dressed slightly differently from each other, and are faintly divided into two factions, with slightly different appearances.

Most of them look and dress the same as the herdsmen of the original Xue Yantuo tribe, but the accessories have a bit of the taste of people from the Western Regions, and their words are similar to those of the Xue Yantuo tribe.

Others look a little similar to the newly discovered Rakshasa people in the north, and they are also dressed a little thicker.

The former is none other than the West. Suddenly. The Turks, the latter are the people of the bone tribe in the northwest of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

At this moment, on the ruined city wall, the leader of the bones, a tall man, looked a little worried and hesitant at this moment.

"What's wrong? The men on the grassland shouldn't be afraid, why is the expression of the knotted khan so hesitant? A slightly sinister-looking man of slightly short stature walked up to the Kneak Khan and said with a smile.

The Kneoky Khan glanced at the people around him, and his expression was slightly unnatural.

The one next to him is the famous Desire Valley She, that is, the Western Turkic Yibi Lulu Khan, who has only been on the throne for two years, but no one dares to underestimate him.

West. Suddenly. In just two years, he not only secured the position of Khan, but also destroyed several small states in the Western Regions one after another, and his subordinates surrendered to him.

Now the Khan of the Knot was also half coerced and half persuaded by him to take him out to attack the Beiting Protectorate, and this person's methods had to be convincing.

"Khan, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have always been known for their bravery, and we... Isn't it about the same? ”

"Almost?" Desire Gu Shi turned his head, stared at the knotted knot with some yin eyes, and sneered: "You can't be afraid, right? Knotted Khan, take a good look at this beautiful grassland, can you bear to give up? ”

It's good, but you also have to take it! The knotted khan scolded his mother silently in his heart.

"Hehe, I think that my ancestors were galloping on this fertile grassland back then, but now they can only retreat to the desert, and the grassland is seriously scarce, which is simply an insult! Such a large grassland, Datang does not deserve to occupy it, this is our nation on the grassland! The Immortal Heaven will bless us, recapture the grassland, and complete the great unification! ”

The knotted khan pursed his lips, and then reminded him: "Khan, the Tang people have recently invented a powerful weapon, they call it Thunderbolt, the 150,000 troops of the 36 countries of the Western Regions were almost planted on it, and Xue Yantuo was even more annihilated because of this, if we face such a powerful weapon as the Tang Army, I am afraid it will be difficult to please." ”

Desire Gu Shi smiled contemptuously and said, "What are you afraid of, I have already sent someone to understand about this weapon." At that time, when the Western Regions jointly attacked the Tang Dynasty, there was only one city in the Tang Dynasty that had this thing, and it could only passively defend or sneak attack, and there was almost no head-on combat. I conclude that the Tang Army's weapons to defend the city are terrible, but the frontal stalemate is not necessarily useful, otherwise it will hurt your own people. Don't forget, Khan of the Kone, you are now on the steppe with the most elite cavalry in the world. After a few rounds of charges, how could the Tang army throw out thunderbolts when they had time? What should I do if I throw it out and hurt my own people? You don't have to worry at all, the weapons of the Tang Army have little impact on us! ”
