Chapter 498: Reinforcements are on the way

"Your Highness, eat some, if you don't eat again, your body won't be able to bear it."

In the camp tent of His Royal Highness King Wu, the deputy general next to him brought a meal, which was slightly better than that of ordinary soldiers, but Li Ke, the king of Wu, couldn't eat at all now, and he couldn't eat for a whole day.

"Distribute the food to the soldiers below, this king can't eat for the time being, have the spies outside come back? Which direction is notched? ”

Wu Wang Li Ge can't take care of eating now, what he wants to know most now is from which direction he can rush out, yesterday he made a charge, but he ran into the Turkic tribes, the brigade lost nearly 800 cavalry, and no one rushed back, so he could only return to the original camp, it is estimated that it is more difficult to rush out now, they already know where the Tang army is located, and they will definitely take strict care of this area.

"Back to Your Highness, the spies have all returned, and at present, in the area around our army, there are more and more enemy barracks, although some of them are bluffing, but we don't know which part is ......"

The adjutant general said with some embarrassment, there will never be so many enemies, there must be some fakes, but we can't tell them at all now, so we can only stand still for the time being, if you act rashly, you may encounter the enemy's brigade at any time, and then there will be casualties.

"Report to Your Highness, the messenger of the imperial court has arrived......"

Just when Li Ke, the king of Wu, was sad, a few cavalrymen came from a distance, one of them was still carrying a bow and arrow behind his back, obviously he was shot and wounded by the people on the grassland, they should have come together with several people, but now only one person is intact, and there is another wounded soldier You can imagine how many heavy soldiers there are on the way back......

"The Medic..."

Li Ke, the king of Wu, took off the wounded soldier on horseback and handed it to the medical officer next to him, and he now wanted to know what the imperial court meant.

In the last ten days, they have lost contact with the imperial court, and now they have learned the news of the imperial court, it turned out that half a month ago, the imperial court had ordered Li Xiang to send troops, counting the days, Li Xiang's army had arrived on the grassland, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, was also relieved.

He is not narrow-minded, people just want to find a chance to prove themselves, for Li Xiang to lead troops to save him, he is still very grateful in his heart, if Li Xiang does not come, then these people under him may die here, Wu King Li Ke does not value his life very much, but if these people die here because of his mistakes, I am afraid he will have no shame to go back to Chang'an to see those ordinary people.

"Xiaoyu's whole army, the imperial court reinforcements are on the way, His Royal Highness Taisun is the main general, and he will arrive in the south of our army in the near future."

After listening to King Wu's words, his subordinates were about to jump up with joy, if the imperial court sent an army to support at will, I'm afraid they would not be happy, after all, the situation on the grassland is extremely complicated, they themselves are all elite troops, they have all suffered losses here, just find an army, what can it do?

But if this army came from Goguryeo, it would be completely different, when the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, His Royal Highness Taisun took away the most elite army in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it was like a bamboo all the way, and now it has destroyed Goguryeo, such an army to the grassland, isn't it even more powerful than the steppe wolf? There is hope for those of us.

"It's not good, the whole army is on alert."

Li Ke, the king of Wu, was about to be happy for a while, when suddenly he thought of a fatal matter, since Li Xiang's army had arrived in the steppe, the people of the Turkic tribes must have known that in this case, their army was the most dangerous.

Both the Turks and the Blood Rock Camels understand that these armies under our king are already extremely weak, and if the Tang reinforcements are allowed to join these people, then the combat effectiveness of these people can be restored, but if they take advantage of Li Xiang's failure to join them and annihilate them in one fell swoop, it will be their victory.

Several generals under his command also immediately figured this out, from the time Li Xiang entered the grassland to the end of finding them, the time in between should be the most dangerous.

Although the soldiers didn't understand what was going on, they were all the most elite border troops in the Tang Dynasty, and when the main general gave the order, they would not have any delay here, and immediately grabbed their weapons and ran to their posts.

Two hours later, on the hill to the south of them, a black line finally appeared, and two and a half hours later, the left side was also discovered, the enemy was indeed as predicted by King Wu, these people also knew that the Tang Dynasty had an army into the grassland, so they had to take advantage of the fact that they did not kill it, and first solve the army of King Wu.

Wu Wang Li Ge is also in armor at the moment, since entering the grassland, he has been on the front line of all battles, if it is not for the greed for victory, maybe he will not be so passive now.

Originally, the date of the enemy's attack was longer, and they had to wait for the Tang army to be weaker before attacking, and their losses would be smaller at that time, but now they can't wait, the army that rushed from the territory of the Tang Dynasty is about to come, and they have also sent troops to block it, but they didn't expect that the two sides are not at the same level at all, so they have to deal with King Wu's army first.

The camp of the Xue Yantuo coalition army.

Xue Yantuo Khan and several Turkic kings were sitting in the tent, the expression on their faces was extremely bad, they had just sent four thousand cavalry, ready to stop my army from the direction of the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't expect that just a contact, these four thousand cavalry were crushed by the other party, as for how they were defeated, so far they have not gotten the exact news.

"The combat effectiveness of the Tang army is very strong, we know this, the army in front of us belongs to their King Wu, and we also know the combat effectiveness of these armies, but where did the Tang army come from? Our 4,000 cavalry didn't even make a splash, which was terrible. ”

The Turkic Hugh Tu King said viciously, 3,000 of the 4,000 cavalry came out of his tribe, and now there is no one alive or dead, so he knows that there are a lot of war horses that have run back, but the people on the horse are nowhere to be found.

"If I'm not mistaken, these people should have come from Goguryeo, and judging from their direction, they should have come from Goguryeo."

Xue Yantuo Khan's words surprised everyone, that is the most capable person in the Tang Dynasty......
