Chapter 454: One More Battle

"Actually, you still have a layer of thoughts in your heart!" Li Tao Zhengse said: "Over the years, the Tang Dynasty army has won fewer victories and more defeats against the Khitan, Xi people, or Turks. In your mind, Datang is no longer the Datang of the days of Tian Khan. Guitang is bound to fall out with the Turks, you have to go through this battle to see if the strength of the Tang Dynasty is worthy of your attachment, whether the Tang Dynasty can balance with the Turks, and protect the peace of the Khitan and Xi people. To put it bluntly, you have to convince yourself and your people through this battle. Am I right? ”

Li Yanhuo showed a complicated look on his face, although he didn't answer, his expression had already told everyone that Li Tao was right.

"That being the case, if I don't fulfill your wishes, how can you be willing to belong sincerely?" Speaking of this, Li Tao said resolutely: "How to fight a decisive battle, Chief Li only comes, and I will accompany you!" ”

Li Shenhuo deeply admired Li Tao's generosity, he got up and said: "If the two armies fight again, they will inevitably lose both, and it will not be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty or our Khitan Xi people." It is better for the two armies to choose a hundred warriors each, without armor, to go into battle shirtless, and fight each other, limited to one pillar of incense, and whichever side has more people left at that time will be considered victorious. How is it? ”

Li Tao nodded and said, "That's very fair, that's good, it's decided." The two chiefs, please go back and prepare, and we will battle it out before the chariot. ”

"Huh?" Li was stunned: "King Lantian wants to let the two of us go back?" ”

Li Tao smiled: "If you don't go back, how can you prepare for the decisive battle?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that we'll take advantage of the opportunity?" Li asked asked.

Li Tao said meaningfully: "If you really want to run, what's the use of me keeping you?" If you really want to stay. Why am I afraid of you running? ”

Li Shihuo said with emotion: "Lantian King, I, Li Shihuo, have never served others, and I am serving you today!" Farewell. See you soon. ”

Li Tao ordered Hua Wenxuan: "Prepare two good horses and send the two chiefs out of the chariot formation." ”

"Yes!" Hua Wenxuan agreed, and said to Li Shenhuo and Li Dayu: "Two chiefs, please!" ”

Looking at the backs of Li Shenghuo and Li Dayu, Li Tao sighed deeply.

Xue Ne asked on the side: "King Lantian, we have already captured them alive, why do we want to release them." Promise a decisive battle with them? ”

Li Tao replied: "In the future, if the imperial court wants to restore Yingzhou, without the support of the Khitan and Xi people, it will not be able to gain a foothold at all." I did this to make them truly come to heart. If they can't really get to their hearts, what is the use of capturing them alive or killing them? ”

"But ...... decisive battle," Xue Ne said with some concern.

"The grassland people have always believed that whoever has a hard fist has the final say, and the Khitan people and the Xi people were attached to the Tang Dynasty back then. The same was true of the later attachment to the Turks. "Speaking of which. Li Tao was filled with a fierce murderous aura: "Therefore, this battle must not have any mercy, and we must show the strongest force with the strength of the lion and the rabbit, so that they can feel the strength of the Tang Dynasty and truly shock their hearts." ”

Xue Ne and Wang Haibin nodded secretly and stopped talking.

……

Before the time came, the Qixi coalition army and the Luzhou regiment practiced in front of the car formation. In the middle of the open space, a hundred murderous Khitan and Xi warriors stood there. And the 100 people from the Luzhou regiment training have not yet arrived. The Khitan and Xi warriors, who were preparing for a decisive battle, were shirtless, holding steel knives and waiting quietly.

Li Yanhuo and Li Dayu were also watching, and they didn't know why Tang Jun was slow to move.

At this moment, Li Tao came to the field with two guards.

Li Tao was still dressed in white without any dust, and the two guards behind him were Pei Yue and Wolf Thirteen.

Li Tao came to a stop in front of the hundred people, his gaze crossed these people, and fell on Li Shenhuo and Li Dayu, who were riding behind them to watch the battle, he hugged his fists and asked, "Are the two chiefs ready?" ”

Li Shihuo replied: "Ready, I don't know why the people of Lantian King are not playing for a long time?" ”

Li Tao smiled: "Why didn't you play?" Already on the field? ”

"Where?" Li looked around, but found nothing.

"Far away, close at hand?" Li Tao was still smiling.

Li was shocked in his heart: "Isn't it the king of Lantian, the three of you want to challenge me to a hundred warriors?" ”

"What? The three of me have insulted you a hundred warriors? Li Tao said with a sharp gaze.

"That's not it, it's just ......" Li lost his life and didn't know how to explain it.

Li Tao Zhengse said: "Chief Li, you are also a person who leads troops to fight, you should understand that victory or defeat does not depend on the number of people, how can you be so stubborn?" ”

Li Tao saw that Li was still hesitant on his face, and said deliberately: "Chief Li doesn't underestimate me, I, Li Tao, never fight uncertain battles." You think I'm going to be kidding with my life? No wonder I didn't warn you, if you underestimate me, you might lose even worse than last time! ”

Hearing Li Tao's words, Li lost his life and stopped talking. The Lord in front of him is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is right, it seems that he is indeed a little careless. Although Li Shihuo didn't know how Li Tao and the three of them defeated the bravest 100 people in the Khitan army, he could see from Li Tao's expression that Li Tao was determined to win the battle.

"That's good, since King Lantian took the initiative to ask for it, then I won't say anything." Li Yanhuo's face also became solemn.

Li Tao said again: "There is a small request below, please ask Chief Li to agree." ”

"King Lantian, please speak!"

"The two of them are my guards, and the three of us don't have armor, so we don't have to take off our shirts, okay?"

"No problem!" For this small request, how could Li Yanhuo disagree.

"Alright, let's get started!"

"Wait!" Li Shuhuo suddenly asked, "King Lantian, don't you even need weapons?" ”

"This doesn't bother Chief Lee!" As he spoke, Li Tao pointed to the hundred people in front of him: "They have it in their hands, we can take it and use it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion among the Qixi coalition troops who were watching the battle. The meaning of Li Tao's words is obvious, they want to snatch weapons from the Khitans with their bare hands. The hundred shirtless Khitan warriors in the field felt that they had been greatly insulted, and they all stared at the three of them angrily, eager to eat them alive.

Li Tao's words were very unreasonable, completely different from the previous politeness, it stands to reason that Li should be very angry, but he couldn't get angry, but a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"Prepare to burn incense!" Li ordered with a calm face.

Li Tao turned his head to look at Pei Yue and Wolf Thirteen, and the two nodded slightly towards Li Tao.

Li Tao smiled at them, and then turned his head to scan the hundred people in the field, his gaze was so deep that people couldn't understand it.

"Timer starts!" He stopped with a thud as Li lost his life.

A hundred strong Khitan men screamed and rushed towards Li Tao and the three, Li Tao was in the front, Wolf Thirteen was in the right and behind, and Pei Yue was in the left and behind, and the three of them looked at the Khitan people who were getting closer and closer like a rock......
