At the foot of Langshan, the Turkic army led by Yuguzhai finally arrived here.

He did not use the advantages of the cavalry to attack the Tang army as soon as the two armies met. In addition to the fact that the Tang army had established several trenches and other simple fortifications specifically for the cavalry at this time, he also did not want to suffer any unnecessary losses!

He is waiting for news from Yanqi! Once Yanqi successfully captures the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he will win without losing one soldier in this war. Why should he sacrifice the life of the Turkic son in vain?

...

"If it is true as you said, there is really no need to fight against the Tang army. But... can you be sure that the information is accurate? I mean, why did the Prince of Tang appear here? Where did you get the information? Could this be the conspiracy of the Tang army?"

Although he was the commander of the army and the army would obey his command, he also needed to give the leaders of other tribes a reasonable explanation for the military orders he issued! He gave up the advantage of cavalry and instead of charge, he set up camp to confront him. As soon as such a military order was issued, the leaders of each tribe came to his camp with a bad expression!

Even though he told his plan together, he did not completely eliminate the doubts in his heart!

Indeed, according to common sense, the crown prince of a country, especially the crown prince of the Central Plains dynasty, has adhered to the concept of "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" since ancient times and will not easily take risks, let alone traveling thousands of miles to the Western Regions, or during the war period!

Yugushuai had long expected that these people would not believe his words easily, which was one of the reasons why he did not inform everyone about the fact that the prince of the Tang Dynasty was in the Western Regions in advance!

"I don't have to say much about where the news comes from, but please rest assured that this news is absolutely true... I promise in the name of immortality that there is no concealment or deception to you!" Yu Gushe's powerful words and confident expressions made everyone somewhat relieve their doubts.

In fact, they didn't want to go to war with the Tang Dynasty, especially this kind of war without much interest! Even if they finally defeated the Tang Dynasty, what can they do? There is no interest worthy of their temptation in this barren land in the Western Regions!

The reason why I promised Yugushe to raise an army to fight against the Tang Dynasty was that Yugushe had reached an agreement with the Western Regions countries. As long as the Turks help them drive away the Tang Dynasty, they would attack a large number of salt, iron, and food supplies every year in the future!

Now that the expected goals are achieved without fighting, these people are of course very happy. After all, the soldiers under their command are the last foundation of their respective tribes. Even if they lose a little, they will feel very painful!

...

On the other hand, after Li Jing saw that the Turkic army did not launch an attack immediately, but instead began to set up camp, the expression on his face began to become solemn!

He knew that his guess had come true! The identity of His Highness of the Crown Prince had indeed been leaked. The Turks had already known that the Crown Prince was in Yanqi and secretly sent an army of 50,000 to Yanqi... The only thing Li Jing wanted to know now was who leaked the identity of the Crown Prince?

There are no more than ten people who know about this, and less than ten people cannot reveal Li Chengqian’s incident to the Turks. So what is wrong?

Li Jing couldn't figure it out, but now is not the time to pursue this. He needs to adjust his subordinates to deal with possible situations!

And the best way at the moment is...

"Beat the drum, gather the generals!"

That's right, the way Li Jing thought of was to launch an attack on his own initiative. Before the news of Yanqian reached this point, he would solve the hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops. Not to mention annihilation, at least he would temporarily disperse this so-called coalition!

This is not a difficult thing for Li Jing. His previous strategy was to completely annihilate the Turkic army, and all subordinates were also implemented around this goal. Now the requirements for the goal have been reduced by a large margin, but the original subordinates did not need to make too much changes!

Li Jing knew very well what the disadvantages of the Turkic army were, or what the fatal flaws were! There was an internal system, not a unified whole, and it was fine if the war went smoothly. Once there was a bad situation or heavy losses, everyone would only care about their own interests and gains and losses, and would not pay attention to the lives and deaths of others!

This is exactly where he wants to use it, and it is also the reason why he is confident of defeating the Turkic army in one battle!

...

The two armies with more than 100,000 people were so strangely below Langshan, and they were divided into two camps from north to south, with a distance of ten miles apart. They could even clearly see the smoke rising from each other's camp, but none of them had dispatched one soldiers and one soldiers to fight against each other!

Time passed another day in this strange calm. In the early morning, it was released on the side of the Turkic camp. After a hill that grew out of the northern ridge of Langshan Mountain, tens of thousands of troops suddenly emerged, breaking the silent night sky and sweeping towards the Turkic camp like a rolling mountain torrent!

In an instant, the shouts of soldiers, the neighing of war horses, the collision of weapons, and the wailing of pain resounded within dozens of miles of Langshan. Even the cruel hungry wolf on Langshan could only hide in the nest and shivered, losing the wolf power of the grassland overlord in the past!

Yugushe never thought that Li Jing would take the initiative to attack, nor did he expect that the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers who were searching hard but could not find any trace were actually hidden behind him!

Even though he tried his best to organize a defensive counterattack, the biggest problem of this temporary army was inevitably exposed... In the camp that stretched for dozens of miles, all the soldiers consciously divided into independent camps when the Tang army attacked, and then ignored everything else and fled directly in the direction where there was no sound of killing!

When Li Jing led his 100,000 troops to the Turkic camp, except for the livestock used as food for the Turkic army, the bodies of Turkic soldiers, and the tents that were full of fire, he only saw the backs of the Turkic soldiers fleeing in a hurry...

"General, the Turkic army fled, are they pursuing?" As the commander of the attack on the camp, Hou Junji did not expect that he would defeat the 150,000 Turkic army by only leading less than 50,000 cavalry!

"No need, you will immediately lead your army south and cooperate with Niu Jinda to wipe out the 50,000 Turkic army in Yanqi... Remember, you must go south as quickly as possible!"

Although it is very different from the strategic goal of annihilation of the 150,000 Turkic troops, which was originally formulated, today, the number of Turkic soldiers who were truly annihilated in the camp was less than 50,000, less than one-third, but Li Jing now only wants the Turkic army to escape!

And he believed that after experiencing this defeat, it would be not easy for Yugushe to pull up a coalition army that had been tens of thousands!

The most urgent task is the safety of Prince Li Chengqian!
