Suddenly, a Turkic scout lifted the tent curtain, walked into the big tent quickly, and bowed to the Jieli Khan, who was sitting in the middle of the big tent, and said: "Report to the Great Khan, the Tang army has appeared on the Weihe Bridge five miles away from Wugong County, challenging my Great Turk. ”

"Tang Jun?" Everyone in the big tent was shocked. They secretly said in their hearts: "It seems that Li Yi must have given false information, what is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, there are less than 30,000 troops?" The Tang Dynasty has just annihilated 80,000 people of our Great Turkic Left Route Army, and now it has sent an army to take the initiative to attack and invite the battle before our tent, if the Tang Emperor Li Shimin only has 30,000 horses in his hands, will he dare to fight like this? He has an army in his hands, and he has no fear in his heart. It's just that Jieli Khan was miserable by the damn Li Yi, and he ran all the way to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, without taking advantage of anything, and lost 80,000 descendants in vain. I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like allies.

Jieli Khan was in a low mood and asked in a low voice: "How many people are there in the Tang Army who came to challenge?" Is it the army stationed in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty? Who are the generals who lead the army? ”

The scout replied: "The Tang army has only 5,000 men and horses, and they are all heavy infantry, and there is no cavalry. The leader of the army is Feng Li, the commander of the six guards of the former prince East Palace, the left guard of the former prince's East Palace, Xue Wanjun, and the right guard of the former prince's East Palace, and Xue Wanche, the army they commanded is not any of the twelve guards army stationed in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but their original five thousand Xi Wang's old department. ”

"The old ministry built by King Xi?" Jieli Khan groaned. Could it be that Li Shimin and I are playing the same plan, taking advantage of the war, eliminating dissidents, and sending the old ministry built by Wang Cheng to send him to death? It must be like this, these old departments built by King Xi are as annoying and hateful to Li Shimin as Tuli and Qibi He Li. Thinking of this, Jieli Khan lightly ordered: "How can Qi Bi lead the warriors under your command to get rid of these remnants of the Tang Dynasty who came to send them to death?" ”

Qi Bi He Li stood up at that time and said scoundrelly: "Great Khan, you see, my warriors and I have just arrived in Wugong County, and the people are sleepy and tired, and they don't even have time to drink saliva and eat?" Can you bear to let my warriors go hungry to serve the Great Khan? ”

Jieli Khan slapped the handsome case, stood up, and rebuked loudly: "Qi Bi He Li, you bastard, this attack on the Tang Dynasty, Ben Khan has already lost 80,000 elite warriors." The 5,000 foot soldiers who have been coming to send you to death let you and the soldiers under your command attack, do you still push back? ”

Qibi He Li's eyes widened at that time, and he was ready to defend himself with Jieli Khan.

Tuli beside Qibi He Li pulled the sleeve of He Li's coat and persuaded: "Isn't it just a five-thousand-step pawn?" It is not too late to resist the charge of my Great Turkic elite iron cavalry and annihilate them. ”

Qibi He Li looked at Tuli, turned his head again, and said to Jieli Khan in a demonstrative manner: "My warriors of the Great Turks are like eagles flying freely above the nine heavens, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are the cowardly goats on this land. Some people were incapable, and they sat on the throne in vain, and they were defeated by the cowardly and vulnerable Tang people, and lost 80,000 Turkic elites in vain. Today I will show him how my brave Great Turkic warriors can quickly hunt down the cowardly flock. ”

After that, Qi Bi He Li turned around and left the tent without looking back, gathered the cavalry under his command and headed towards Weiqiao. Only the embarrassed and angry Jieli Khan was left, the calm on the surface and the ecstatic on the inside, and the leaders of the tribes who looked at each other.

A native of the Tiele Khan family, he succeeded to the throne when his father died in battle with other tribes when he was nine years old. He is brave and good at fighting, calm and resolute, and has the talent to rule. In just over ten years, he led the cavalry of the Tiele tribe and the surrounding Gaochang, Xue Yantuo, and Guizi tribes, with 75 large and small battles, 52 victorious battles, and 23 draw battles, without any defeat, so that the Tiele tribe expanded thousands of miles in one fell swoop, plundered countless people, horses, cattle and sheep, and made Tiele the third largest tribe on the reckless grassland, second only to the Turks and Xue Yantuo.

He was about thirty years old, he wore a black iron helmet, tawny cowhide armor, a white cloak, a scimitar at his waist, a longbow on his back, and a long and heavy mace in both hands.

Qi Bi He Li did not rashly launch an attack, but sent scouts to detectives, first, to check whether there were iron thorns and other artifacts that hurt the war horses buried in front of the Tang army; Second, whether the detective can go around the back of the Tang Army, attack back and forth, and break the Tang Army.

Feng Li, who was under the banner of the lieutenant general of the Tang Army, shouted to Qi Bi He Li with an awe-inspiring expression: "Qi Bi He Li, you have 50,000 iron cavalry in your hands, and I only have 5,000 foot soldiers, are you still afraid of me?" Today, I came to challenge, just to compete with the combat strength and will to fight of the two armies, no need to scheming, what is the strength of the Qi Bi You Turks dare to fight? ”

Hearing what Feng Li said, Qi Bi He Li looked at the Turkic scouts who had gained nothing, so he took back the scouts and quickly organized the Turkic cavalry.

The Turkic cavalry quickly put the formation in order, and Qi Bihe pulled out the scimitar at his waist and shouted: "50,000 horses are divided into five teams, each team of 10,000 people, take turns to charge, one turn to break the enemy formation, two rounds to annihilate the enemy." Turkic warriors, charge! ”

After that, the Turkic cavalry rushed towards the Tang army on the Wei Bridge like a mountain of mountains.

Looking at the charging Turkic cavalry, Feng Li calmly comforted the soldiers: "The enemy is coming, the sword and shield soldiers in the front row squat low, they must be steady, do a good job of protection, and the shield must not fall down no matter what; The long lance soldier in the middle platoon, with the tip of the lance low, must penetrate the heart of the enemy and strive to kill the enemy with one lance; Crossbowmen in the back row, crossbows raised, ready to throw. ”

When the Turkic cavalry charged to a distance of four hundred steps from the Tang army, and the Tang soldiers could see the faces of the Turks clearly, Feng Li ordered loudly: "Shoot!" ”

Arrow feathers were released from the hands of the Tang crossbowmen, carrying a whistling sound that pierced the air, like rain, piercing into the bodies of the Turkic cavalry. The archers of the Tang Dynasty kept shooting, and the arrows stabbed down in batches, because the Turks rode Turkic horses, the war horses were endurance and good at long-distance attacks, but the speed was not fast. Under the attack of the rain of arrows, the number of Turkic cavalry who fell from their horses with arrows was large.
