In fact, at this time, Mou Yu Khan no longer thought about conquering Youzhou.

He must know what the largest city in Hebei Road in Datang would be as solid as it would be. His thoughts have changed a lot along the way. He knew that if he wanted to take down the Tang Dynasty, it was not enough to have strong cavalry. The most basic siege equipment must be available.

I am not good at doing this, but Shi Siming must be good at it. He had been preparing for Hebei Road for more than ten years with An Lushan. Isn’t it just about how to break through the city of the Tang Dynasty?

Mou Yu Khan believed that as long as he was given another one or two years, he would definitely destroy the disobedient tribes like Tongluo and the Pugu tribe, and create equipment that could break through the Tang Dynasty on the basis of unifying the north.

At that time, I will not feel like I have no place to use it like today.

However, with the pride of the Uighur Khan, Mou Yu Khan did not want to go back now. He had to let the Tang people know that the Uighur Khan had been here, and what his arrival could bring to the Tang people.

So it was absolutely not enough for him to massacre this village, and there must be a second and a third...

But he never expected that Li Wenke, the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Hebei Dao, was different from the officials he learned about.

The Uighur cavalry slowly headed west, resting while plundering food to replenish their energy. According to Mou Yu Khan's plan, they would start returning before the severe cold really hit.

But once again, things did not come as he expected. Indeed, within a few days they robbed several villages and obtained some food and livestock.

However, just as the plunder of Mou Yu Khan was rising, the scouts patrolling around came to report urgently, bringing a message that he never expected.

"Khan! A large group of cavalry is continuing to approach where we are from the east. Judging from the situation, it should be the cavalry that attacked us before!"

"Oh? How many are there?"

"I'm afraid there are at least 100,000 cavalrymen! We will definitely catch up with us within one day!"

"One hundred thousand cavalry, even the Tang cavalry, Tongluo and the second division of the Pugu, Humph! I originally wanted to let him go, but I didn't expect that I would come to my door!"

Obviously, these men and horses could not scare Mou Yu Khan. For other troops, judging from the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, he had absolute confidence in himself.

He believed that once the battle started, the cavalry under his command would definitely be one to ten in the face of the Tang Dynasty and Tongluo.

"Continue to investigate and repay me when they are twenty miles away from us."

Mou Yu Khan was not nervous at all, but was a little excited.

"Khan, are you... going to fight Li's cavalry here?"

Shi Siming understood what Mou Yu Khan was thinking at a glance and asked immediately.

"Otherwise? I had indeed developed the desire to retreat, but since the King Jianning of the Tang Dynasty was angry for their Tang Dynasty and his Youzhou, I naturally had to accompany him. This is a good opportunity for us!"

After Mu Yu Khan finished speaking, the generals under his command laughed. Obviously, they looked down on Li Yan and attacked them with fewer cavalry than them. This was definitely not much different from seeking death in their eyes.

"Khan, then Li Neng is very tricky. It would be okay if they really fought with our army directly, but they were afraid that there would be some tricks!"

Shi Siming didn't want to fight the Tang army to death. His entire capital now was only less than 30,000 Yeluohe, and he was fighting between cavalrymen. No matter how elite his Yeluohe was, he was a infantryman. If he was really involved, the consequences would be obvious.

"Hmph! He Li Qing had a trick in his heart, so why would I be unprepared? Do you know why I wanted to give the scouts twenty miles away from me? Because the real battlefield is not here. Ten miles away from here, there is a flat ground with a very wide range. There is the main battlefield between me and the Tang cavalry."

Shi Siming understood as soon as he heard this. The other Khan Mou Yu had obviously planned and even chose the battlefield, so what he said here was useless.

"Okay! Since Khan has decided to fight with the enemy here, I will naturally do my best to cooperate with Khan. If you need the more than 20,000 under my command, I will ask Khan to give me the order."

Mou Yu Khan was very satisfied with Shi Siming's determination, but he did not say what Shi Siming needed to do at that time, but just asked him to order his soldiers to eat and drink enough and wait for the war to come.

If Mou Yu Khan does this, he will definitely have absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.

The battlefield he chose was almost a land with only one entrance, and the other three sides were surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Once the Tang cavalry asked him to introduce this place, as long as he asked a certain number of troops to block the exit, the Tang army would have to decide the outcome here with them.

One day before the war came, almost all the Uighur soldiers had no fear or nervous expressions on their faces. For the elite Uighurs, they had already integrated the battle into their bones. In their opinion, it was definitely their glory to be able to follow their Khan to defeat the powerful Tang Dynasty and then use the entire Hebei Road as their trophy.

Although this battle took place in the Hebei Datang, the initiative had already fallen into the hands of the Uighurs at this time.

"Prince, the scouts of the Uighurs should have discovered that I have been waiting. If we move forward, we may be ambushed by them at any time. How can we deal with it?"

Nan Jiyun had already found some traces of Uighur soldiers and horses around him. He knew that since this time, the Tang cavalry had no way out.

"Stop at the foot of the mountain ahead and rest for a night!"

"ah?"

"Hmph, since the enemy saw our army marching all the way, he must have thought our army would stay until their place and would not stay, but I will do the opposite!"

Nan Jiyun understood as soon as he heard this. The battle between Li Ren and the Uighur Khan had actually begun from this time. The first step was when the two armies began to confront each other.
