On the hillside on the side of a hill near Xiabo, Liu Heitai was holding a riding whip and looking with a complacent expression on the hastily built camp of the Tang Army opposite, as well as the Tang Army's troops lined up in front of the camp.
In March this year, he fought with Li Shimin at Mingshui, and the whole army was wiped out. Only a thousand people left fled to the Turks. It can be said that he was defeated and lost all his territory in Hebei.
.
Just when Liu Heitai felt that his great cause was about to collapse, His Majesty Li Yuan on the opposite side actually showed a magical move...
He first couldn't wait to recall Li Shimin back to Chang'an, and then backhandedly removed Shandong Daoxingtai, cutting off all possibilities for Qin King Li Shimin to use Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province to intervene in Hebei. As a result, although Li Shimin regained Hebei, he was unable to do anything about it.
Make any arrangements for Hebei civil affairs.
This move made Hebei belong to the Tang Dynasty in name, but in fact it was Liu Heita's own territory.
Then, after Cao Zhan, Dong Kangmai and others recruited new troops and made a comeback, they regained the entire Hebei Province in just a few months.
After Liu Junhui, the governor of Guanzhou, surrendered at the beginning of this month, the largest Tang army in the entire Hebei territory is now led by Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan.
As long as he is defeated, he can reoccupy Hebei!
Suddenly, Liu Heitai saw the flags on the opposite side swinging, and a cavalry team with the banner "Li" came out and slowly moved towards their direction. It seemed that they planned to make a surprise attack while they were on an unstable footing.
"Hahaha……"
After Liu Heitai looked at the flags of the team that came out, he suddenly raised his whip and laughed.
"Is the Tang army on the opposite side crazy? Even Li Shimin didn't dare to lead his men straight into the military formation. They actually dared to hit a stone with an egg."
He waved his riding crop vigorously, sending a sharp whistling sound in the air, and pointed towards the Tang army on the opposite side.
"Give me the order to first ascend the camp to withstand this wave of Tang army's attack, and then wait until the opponent is tired, then dispatch the cavalry to drive them back to attack the Tang army's camp and completely defeat the Tang army!"
"yes!"
Following Liu Heita's order, a group of soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding shields and spears walked out of the team to the beat of drums and stood at the front of the team.
Opposite them, Li Daoxuan was leading his cavalry, slowly approaching them at a tight pace.
"Raise your shield!"
Following the command, these heavily armored soldiers simultaneously raised their large shields, and spears thrust out from the gaps in the shields, as if they had become iron hedgehogs.
Li Daoxuan waved the long sword in his hand and pointed at Liu Heita's military formation.
"It's as fast as the wind, rise up!"
Following the words, Li Daoxuan's momentum has been connected with the cavalry behind him. Using these cavalry as nodes, Li Daoxuan's momentum quickly extended behind him, including most of the cavalry in the front row of the cavalry.
It's not over until it's inside.
Just when his momentum reached its highest point, Li Daoxuan suddenly shouted loudly.
"Movement brings power and progress is unstoppable!"
Before he finished speaking, a huge golden arrow appeared in the sky above Li Daoxuan and the cavalry associated with him.
"middle!"
After a shout, golden arrows flew through the air and shot in the direction of Liu Heita's military formation.
Whoosh!
With the sound of piercing the air, the golden arrow passed through the heavy infantrymen holding shields in front of Liu Heitai's military formation, and did not stop until it penetrated more than ten feet into the military formation.
boom!
All the soldiers who were pierced by the golden arrows turned their eyes white and fell backwards. A gap suddenly appeared in the originally solid military formation.
After the gap appeared, Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up and he pointed the long sword in his hand hard.
"If there is a flaw, follow Gu and charge!"
As he spoke, he clamped his legs together hard, and the horse under his crotch neighed and began to speed up.
The Tang Army cavalry behind him also accelerated their speed. The entire cavalry team seemed to be an iron stream, rushing towards the gap in Liu Heitai's formation.
"Unmoving like a mountain, get up!"
After another shout, the Tang army's cavalry seemed to be surrounded by an invisible layer of iron armor, and the spears thrust by the surrounding infantry stopped three or four centimeters outside their bodies.
For a moment, the cavalry led by Li Daoxuan rushed left and right in Liu Heitai's military formation, as if they were in a deserted area.
When Liu Heitai on the hill saw this scene, he waved the riding crop in his hand with disdain.
"This boy with a yellow mouth is actually a descendant of the military family..."
As he spoke, he turned to look at a general in his thirties with a serious expression next to him.
"Dingfang, go and let that Li Daoxuan see who is the true heir of the military strategist."
"King Dong of the Han Dynasty,"
Su Dingfang said hesitantly.
"If someone leaves, your safety..."
"No problem!"
Liu Heitai patted his chest and said carelessly.
"Not to mention that a certain person is also experienced in battles, and even if you are not around in Dingfang..."
Liu Heitai pointed at an old man riding on a horse, wearing a big leather hat, a leather robe, and a drum at his waist. He pointed at an old man dressed in a strange way.
"There is also Chumu Kunnuer shaman protecting someone."
"Hehehe..."
The shaman named Chumu Kunnur let out a deep laugh.
"General Su, don't worry. As long as I am here, King Han Dong will be safe and sound."
"good!"
Su Dingfang glanced at Chumukunnur, then clasped his hands and saluted Liu Heitai.
"So and so went..."
As he spoke, Su Dingfang urged his horse to rush down the hillside. When he rushed into the middle of a group of cavalry at the bottom of the mountain, he waved his hand casually.
"Fenglin Huoshan, rise!"
In an instant, the momentum of these cavalrymen was linked to that of Su Dingfang himself, and then the group of men and horses rushed along the gap in the middle of the military formation in the direction of Li Daoxuan.
All the soldiers passing by, whether cavalry or infantry, were linked to him by Su Dingfang.
The more Su Dingfang rushed forward, the more powerful he became. Before he reached the halfway point of the military formation, a black dragon appeared faintly above his head.
"A dragon and a tiger become angry!"
Shaman Chumu Kunnuer looked at Su Dingfang's power and let out a few strange laughs.
"I didn't know before that King Dong of Han Dynasty had such powerful subordinates."
"Hahaha……"
Liu Heitai raised his riding whip and smiled very proudly.
"Of course, among today's military disciples, the one who dares to say that he can surpass Dingfang is at most a palm count. As for that kid Li Daoxuan, Dingfang can be broken with just a snap of his fingers. Look..."
Liu Heitai pointed down with his hand, and the shaman looked down, just in time to see Su Dingfang leading the cavalry and colliding head-on with Li Daoxuan.
After a collision between the two sides, the secret military technique Li Daoxuan had exerted on the Tang army was broken by Su Dingfang. The Tang army of more than 40 riders spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell off their horses.
"Ha ha……"
Liu Heitai held up his riding whip on the hillside and burst into laughter.
"Look, that boy with a yellow mouth has been defeated by Dingfang. The next thing is..."
Before he could finish his words, a burst of passionate horn sounds suddenly came from the Tang army. Then Liu Heitai saw the soldiers in front of the Tang army's camp marching in neat lines under the command of the drums. The target
It was those infantry formations that were disrupted by Li Daoxuan's cavalry.
"snort!"
Liu Heitai snorted coldly and waved his riding whip.
"The whole army pressed forward, withstood the opponent's attack, notified Dingfang, quickly defeated Li Daoxuan, and drove them to attack the Tang army's camp. Today I will fight in Dinghebei."
"yes!"
Then the troops under Liu Heitai also began to advance forward. As the team array moved forward, only Liu Heitai's own bodyguards were left in Xiaoshanbao.
At this time, in a small valley not far from the side of the hill, a general in armor raised a strange candlestick in his hand with a serious face and said to the surrounding soldiers.
"The time has come, mount up."
The soldiers around him silently adjusted their armor one by one, then got on their horses.
After the last cavalryman mounted his horse, the general blew out the candlestick in his hand and pointed toward the outside of the valley.
"Let us behead Liu Heita directly, completely pacify Hebei, and set off!"
As he spoke, he moved his horse and rushed out of the valley's exit at the lead.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of dark knights poured out of the valley like a tide, followed the general, made a small circle, and rushed towards the hillside where Liu Heitai was.
The thunderous sound of hoofbeats instantly alerted Liu Heitai's personal guards who were staying at the foot of the mountain.
"Enemy attack..."
Before he could finish his words, an arrow had accurately passed through his throat, sealing the rest of his words in his throat.
"attack!"
As the leading general roared, these knights were like a black torrent, directly submerging the small number of personal guards.
"How can this be,"
After seeing this Tang army that appeared out of nowhere, Liu Heitai was dumbfounded and asked subconsciously.
"Where did this cavalry come from?"
Chumu Kunnuer shaman did not answer. Liu Heitai turned around and saw that the other party had already retreated and had already run several feet away.
"King Dong of Han..."
Liu Heitai's bodyguard said loudly.
"Let's leave quickly!"
"You can't run back..."
Liu Heitai, who had been in battle for a long time, looked up and down and then made a decision immediately.
"Let's move towards the battlefield and meet up with Dingfang, Cao Zhan and the others. Let's go!"
As he spoke, Liu Heita whipped his horse on the buttocks. The horse was in pain, and after a long neigh, he let go of his hooves and rushed down the mountain in the direction of the battlefield.
Just ten seconds after Liu Heitai left the hillside, the Tang army swept past Liu Heitai's position, and the flag he had erected on the hillside crashed down in the iron flow.
Then a huge voice sounded on the battlefield.
"Liu Heitai is dead! The Tang army will be victorious!"
