"Is it for us?" Su Dingfang was also shocked when he heard the tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo army around him.

"I didn't know it at first, but now that we can find them, they can naturally find us. The closest thing to us is 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry in the south, and 20,000 infantry in the east and west, each of which has 20,000 infantry in the north of our army. Now the three sides are in a siege." Qiu Xinggong did not realize that Su Dingfang's words were abolished, and he inquired about all the military information.

Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable when he heard a large triangle surrounded by the enemy, but...

Li Chengqian looked up and saw Su Dingfang and Qiu Xinggong's faces serious, and then said calmly: "I discovered it when I discovered it. We are all cavalrymen with one person and two cavalry. Even if we can't beat it, we can escape from the north."

After saying that, a gust of wind blew down a fallen pine needle, which made Li Chengqian's head and face covered with his face. Liu Kui hurriedly cleaned up Li Chengqian, while Li Chengqian stared at Su Dingfang and Qiu Xinggong with his eyes tightly.

Su Dingfang and Qiu Xinggong looked at each other without saying a word when they heard this. They understood that although Li Chengqian had unique strategic features, his specific tactics were still far behind.

The so-called invincible cavalry is a rumor made by the Qing Dynasty. In fact, infantry formations often prevented and killed cavalry from rushing to the battlefield in the Tang Dynasty. In the 15th year of Zhenguan, the cavalry led by Li Shiji led his army to dismount and defeat the Xueyantuo infantry before defeating the Xueyantuo infantry. Then Xue Wanche led the cavalry to pursue the victory.

During the rise, Xue Yantuo fought against the cavalry of the East and West Turks, all of which were victorious with infantry. Xue Yantuo's infantry was tactical in line up to shoot arrows, and defeated the opponent's attacking cavalry with a dense rain of arrows.

The last time Li Chengqian led his troops to attack Xue Yantuo Khan's tent, he first shocked the opponent with gunpowder before successfully conquering the opponent's camp. Moreover, at that time, the Tang Dynasty and Li Simo's tribe had more than 20,000 more people than Xue Yantuo, and he could only achieve this great victory with the help of the right time, place, and people.

Now, eight thousand cavalry fight against Xueyantuo's tens of thousands of infantry. Even if they can rush out of their infantry array, they may not be able to get rid of their cavalry pursuit.

Moreover, Li Chengqian could not have any accidents in the army, so Su Dingfang and Qiu Xinggong dared not choose to break through.

Seeing that Su Dingfang and Qiu Xinggong were silent as soon as Li Chengqian saw that he said something, he realized that this matter might not be so easy. He helped Liu Kui stand up slowly and looked at Su Dingfang and said seriously: "This battle is left to General Su to be fully responsible."

Su Dingfang showed a touching expression on his face, and he solemnly bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "I obey the order!"

After saying that, Su Dingfang straightened up and looked down on the world, and he looked back at the guards around him and said, "Go and summon everyone here."

Qiu Xinggong, who was standing next to him, saw Su Dingfang's demeanor of a general, nodded unconsciously and said to Li Chengqian: "On the way back, I have sent spies to inquire about all sides, and it's time to come back later."

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, then turned around and looked at Liu Kui and said, "Go and tell all spies to help General Su win this battle."

"I obey the order!" Liu Kui bowed and retreated after hearing this.

Qiu Xinggong understood what Li Chengqian meant and looked at Su Dingfang and said, "General Su was fully responsible for this battle. If there was any use of Qiu, please give me some instructions."

Upon hearing this, Su Dingfang hurriedly said, "General Qiu is welcome."

At a moment, Cheng Wu supported Li Simo and more than ten generals led by the Sixth General of the Eastern Palace to come to Li Chengqian to rest under the pine tree.

Su Dingfang simply told everyone the current situation, and Li Chengqian once again appointed Su Dingfang as the commander-in-chief of the battle in front of everyone.

When the generals knew that the situation was urgent, they cheered up and waited for Su Dingfang's arrangements.

Su Dingfang narrowed his eyes and glanced around everyone's faces, and then solemnly said: "Now our army is still seven days away from Changze County, and the army behind it will take more than three days to arrive at the fastest. So we only have two roads to break through or defend on the spot. We only have 8,000 cavalrymen who will break through will definitely be severely damaged and will be chased by the opponent behind us. Moreover, there must be enemy troops in front of the south. If the whereabouts of at least 10,000 cavalrymen who break through the north are unknown, I suspect that these cavalrymen have already rushed to the Hulu Valley behind us.

Moreover, even if we rushed out of Hulu Valley, Lingzhou City was short of troops, and General Yuchi had only more than 40,000 Turkic troops, so it was very difficult to defend Lingzhou City.

So I will decide to set up a camp here and wait for help. With the gunpowder in our hands, we should be able to defend for more than seven days. In three days, General Yuchi led his troops south and would inevitably restrain part of Xue Yantuo's troops."

In addition to the serious losses in the breakthrough, what Su Dingfang said was that the breakthrough was serious, and what was more important was that Li Chengqian's safety could not be lost. If Li Chengqian was injured or died in battle during the breakthrough, it would not be the life or death of these 8,000 people, and the entire Tang Dynasty went to the intersection again.

The generals also vaguely understood a little, so they nodded in agreement after hearing Su Dingfang's arrangement.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his strategy, Su Dingfang looked at Qiu Xinggong and said, "I originally ordered young general Cheng to set up camp now, now it seems that there can only be General Laoqiu."

Qiu Xinggong nodded and said, "The current situation is naturally my urge to set up camp." Then he walked towards the hillside that Su Dingfang chose first.

Seeing that Fang's strategy had already settled, Li Chengqian said to Liu Kui: "Leave all the gunpowder to Cheng Wuting."

"Abide by the order!" Liu Kui responded and went to make arrangements.

Su Dingfang looked at Cheng Wuting and walked away beside him and patted his shoulder and said, "When the camp is repaired, you can protect the prince's prince and retreat into the village, and be sure to protect the prince's safety."

In the past, when using gunpowder was given priority, Xue Rengui, Wang Fangyi, and Wang Qun, Cheng Wuting rarely contacted gunpowder. Today, Li Chengqian wanted to hand over all the gunpowder they brought to Cheng Wuting, that was to set up Cheng Wuting to guard the camp.

"Abide by the order." Cheng Wuting was not excited at all under this heavy responsibility, but only the perseverance that would never give up until he achieved his goal.

Su Dingfang arranged Cheng Wuting and then arranged others. Finally, Su Dingfang arranged all the tasks and walked to Li Chengqian with his fists and bowed to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, since the enemy in the south has arrived ten miles away, we will find that our army has set up camp here and will definitely send troops to harass him. In order not to be disturbed by the enemy, I will lead a thousand cavalry to patrol the periphery. If you encounter an enemy vanguard, you should directly break it."

Li Chengqian knew that Su Dingfang was right, so he pointed out: "General, be careful, I am in trouble now, and I cannot be without a general."

Su Dingfang's heart trembled slightly when he heard this. Li Chengqian has always regarded him as a coach and used his kindness to know him. He is also optimistic about Li Chengqian's ability to govern the country and is willing to use it for Li Chengqian, so he does not want Li Chengqian to be hurt at all as long as he is within his ability.

Su Dingfang calmed down his mind and bowed to Li Chengqian again and said, "I have written it down."

Li Chengqian hurriedly helped Su Dingfang up and said, "After this time, the soldiers were in danger of leaving, let the soldiers have dinner and set off."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Dingfang said and went to make arrangements.

Shortly after Su Dingfang left, spies came back one after another to report on the enemy's advance in all directions.

According to the information obtained by the spies, Xue Yantuo's army seemed to be advancing north in three directions, and suddenly discovered that their Tang cavalry wanted to deal with them first.

Except for the middle army, only ten miles away from them, the other two armies were still twenty miles away, but as Su Dingfang expected, the spies found traces of a large number of Xueyantuo's cavalry in the north, and they should have occupied the important road behind them.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately ordered someone to send the news to Su Dingfang, and then ordered Liu Kui to send a letter to all parties for help.

Su Dingfang took a thousand cavalry and left Li Chengqian's camp and went straight to the south, because only the southern enemies had cavalry that could launch a raid on them.

Sure enough, before he could walk far away, he heard the sound of horse hooves rumbling in the distance. A black line moved quickly toward this side several miles away. Just listening to the sound, he knew that the cavalry from the south were at least five thousand. Su Dingfang and the thousand cavalry behind him stood on the war horses, sat upright on the horse and waited for the enemy to approach.

The sun has set in the west, and there is a vast and flat grassland in front of you. It is almost March of the lunar calendar. Some tender green grass is also emerging under the protruding gray dry grass.

Su Dingfang watched all this and later this was his battlefield.

The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the black line had turned into a black belt, rushing towards them.

Su Dingfang was still sitting steadily on the horse, lifting up the spear expressionlessly, holding the gun rod tightly with one hand and holding the reins tightly with the other hand.

Time passed by minute by minute, the enemy was getting closer and closer. Su Dingfang could already see the rolling smoke and dust behind the enemy. Amid the rumbling horse hooves, he could hear the heavy breathing of the cavalry behind him.

Soon the enemy reached about 500 steps, and Su Dingfang could see the color of the enemy's horses in the distance. Facing thousands of troops and horses at such a close distance, he felt the pressure like a rush of overwhelming seas.

"rush!"

With a loud roar, Su Dingfang threw his gun and pulled the horse's shelter, and was the first to rush up against the pressure of the mountains.

Su Dingfang did not mobilize the soldiers before the war, but just roared and rushed forward. The thousand Tang soldiers behind him rushed towards the mountains ahead like surging rivers.
