Chapter 181 Turning Passive into Active

"This King Jianning of the Tang Dynasty is really cunning. He actually knows that he will take some rest when he is about to arrive at the garrison of our army."

After Khan Mou Yu said this, the generals below came over and said directly: "Khan, why not just fight us today and launch a surprise attack while they are asleep and annihilate them there. Wouldn't that be nice?"

But after hearing this, Mou Yu Khan waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, since they want to rest for a night, let them rest for a night. The battlefield I chose cannot be changed, and there is no need to change. As per the original plan, let our warriors have a good rest."

Mu Yu Khan's move was actually as expected by Li Neng. He simply gave his soldiers a good rest.

The next morning, when the Tang army and Tongluo and the soldiers of the Pugu tribe got up, Li Yan had already sat on his war horse, and his face was also very solemn. The Tang army and Tongluo and the generals of the Pugu tribe had already stood beside Li Yan.

"Today's war is probably the most severe loss of our army, but we are afraid that we can't escape this battle. Do you have confidence? In this battle, either the enemy will be killed or injured, the Uighurs will be withdrawn, or our army will be wiped out! Even if only I am left in the end, I will try my best to kill some of the enemy."

Li Yi's words were already very clear, and even he himself might be saying these words here with the determination to die.

After listening to the generals, many people subconsciously swallowed and looked at each other's friends. They didn't know if they could see each other after this battle.

Obviously, only by putting the best efforts can they have the possibility of meeting again.

Chen Zhibao's expression was probably the most relaxing here. At the beginning of his Yuyang Cavalry, An Lushan had already taken them to fully study the characteristics of the Uighur cavalry, but until now there was no chance of actual combat.

Today, this opportunity finally came, giving him the feeling that his destiny was about to reach the end.

Chen Zhibao looked at the other generals and laughed a few times, then said, "We have already remembered what the prince said. Don't worry, the Uighur cavalry is also like our soldiers. When we meet in such a place, the fight is nothing more than a word of courage. As long as the soldiers of our army are full of courage and are not afraid of death, we will definitely win in the end!"

After hearing Chen Zhibao's words, the generals subconsciously held the weapons in their hands tightly.

Li Qing saw that everyone's eyes gradually became firm, and he felt relieved and continued: "Start in half an hour, and there will be no stop or rest before fighting with the enemy. He told the soldiers that they only have half an hour to adjust their state to the best. To kill the enemy in battle and survive to the end is the real ability!"

This was Li Qing's last guidance to the soldiers under his command. After that, he ate two large pieces of meat, drank two sips of hot wine, adjusted his state to the level that was most suitable for killing the enemy, and quietly waited to set off.

Half an hour later, on the vast land of the northern border, tens of thousands of cavalry urged the war horses they were stalking down, heading to the west with a rainbow of momentum.

"Khan, the Tang army is heading towards us quickly. At the current speed, we will soon find our whereabouts!"

"Okay! The command is to set off, this is not my battlefield. After you arrive on that battlefield, let them see the true ability of our Uighur cavalry!"

With this order, all the Uighur cavalry boarded their horses and headed for the battlefield chosen by Mou Yu Khan.

Because Shi Siming was carrying infantrymen, Mou Yu Khan asked him to set up an ambush with his troops for half a day in advance. After all, letting 20,000 to 30,000 infantry fight with more than 100,000 cavalry battles does not really play a big role.

Soon, the Uighur movements were conveyed to Li Yan's ears.

"Prince, the Uighurs may have learned about our movements and left directly from the place where we were stationed before. Should we chase after us or not?"

"Did you forget what I said before? Chase! When will they run out of the scope of my Tang Dynasty, we will not chase you."

In fact, the Uighurs could run away, which was indeed not within Li N's previous considerations. He thought that the Uighurs' urinary nature must have been directly against him. Anyway, the competition for the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was the one who was obviously the Uighurs had the advantage. Li N's no belief that the Uighur Khan would personally take his soldiers to escape under such circumstances.

Sure enough, after chasing this, Li Neng discovered the problem. The direction they were heading was not the direction they were running outside the Tang Dynasty. So Li Neng rode his horse and concluded that this battle must be fought, but the Uighur Khan probably had already made plans in his mind.

Thinking of this layer, Li Na hurriedly asked Chen Zhibao to find soldiers who were more familiar with this area and asked what was in this area one by one.

Until a soldier said that he might have arrived at a large open space several miles ahead, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only this side had a huge gap leading to the outside world, Li Nao suddenly seemed to understand the purpose of the Uighurs.

"Don't say it, this Uighur Khan is really confident in his soldiers!"

"The prince means..."

"The huge open space mentioned by the soldiers just now is the battlefield that the Uighur Khan found for us, but it was just my wish for him to do so. He was afraid that we would run away, and we were afraid that he would run away!"

When Chen Zhibao heard Li Qing's words, he laughed at the time, but he also asked in a low voice: "Prince, don't you tell the soldiers about this? What if..."

"No! Pass the order! Just say that I will force the enemy to a place surrounded by mountains on three sides, and this is the only chance to annihilate the enemy!"

When Chen Zhibao heard this, he thought that he could still do this. He was obviously passive and was about to lead him to such a dead end, but then he said so?

But then I thought about it, Li Wen's order would be a great booster in the minds of the soldiers who were not sure about it.

With this idea, when fighting against the enemy, they will of course have a strong psychological advantage. When their ability is similar, the psychological advantage will certainly have a better chance of winning.
