Chapter 291 The two armies read Li Sao before the battle
Late at night, the generals of Li Chengqian's central army tent were discussing the deployment of the ambush.
That night, everything was arranged before dawn on the second day, and several generals in the Tang camp led their soldiers to their respective positions according to Su Dingfang's arrangement.
Under Wang Fangyi's protection, Li Chengqian hid on a high ground not far from the battlefield, and watched the situation on the battlefield from a distance.
The sun is rising, and a thin layer of blue smoke rises on the vast grassland, which is like a fairyland.
Li Chengqian was wearing a white robe and a blue silk squid wrapped around his hair, sitting quietly on the top of the mountain waiting to watch the show.
Wang Fangyi and Liu Kui stood beside him, and thousands of cavalry were hiding in the shadows below the high ground.
After watching the scenery for a while, Li Chengqian felt a little bored, so he picked up the prepared "Chu Ci" and started reading.
For Li Chengqian, the entertainment life of the Tang Dynasty was very poor, especially in the army, Li Chengqian could only use reading to pass the time. So no matter where he went, Liu Kui would bring a few books by his side. Among them, "Chu Ci" is a must-have because only "Chu Ci" can allow Li Chengqian to read it as fast as possible.
Li Chengqian opened "Chu Ci" and began to read "Li Sao". At first, he could control the sound, but gradually he could not help but chant loudly when he read it to the state of selflessness.
"Why is Jie and Zhou so arrogant? Only shortcuts are used to make difficult steps.
Only when the party members enjoy their secret fun, the road is vague and dangerous.
Isn’t I going to suffer any disaster? I am afraid of the defeat of the emperor’s chariot!
…”
Wang Fangyi next to him saw that Li Chengqian was still in love with the admiration of Li Chengqian in "Li Sao" at the moment of the battle, and it was like a mountain of admiration...
At Si, it was just around 9 o'clock in the morning when Li Chengqian felt the high ground under his feet trembling, and a muffled sound sounded in the distance. Looking at the sound, I saw a gray line appearing on the green and yellow grassland in the distance.
Soon the gray line became thicker and closer. Li Chengqian knew that Tu Midu was leading the army. Unconsciously put down the book in his hand, stood up and frowned at the huge momentum of Xue Yantuo's army. He couldn't help but feel worried and confirmed again: "Does Wuhe know I am here?"
Liu Kui hurriedly whispered: "Wuhe doesn't know our whereabouts. Our original camp has become a waste. The army has divided the camps and followed their respective generals to various places. The soldiers under the lieutenant in our army don't know where they are going.
The prince's magistrate has always been in the central army where General Su is located. Now it is in that valley. Only General Wang knows the place we are here."
Li Chengqian nodded and expressed his reassurance when he heard this. He sat down slowly, but his eyes were still staring at the Xueyantuo Cavalry in the distance.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were 60,000 war horses, and they ran at full speed and were very powerful. In Li Chengqian's eyes, they soon turned from a line to a wall, and sand and dust rolled behind the army like huge waves during a tsunami.
Wuhe, who was at the entrance of the valley, also heard the sound and hurriedly led a team of cavalry to meet him.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat when he saw this. He was really worried that Wu He would regret it in the battle and told the truth to Tu Midu. Although this would not result in much loss, this ambush would inevitably fail. If Tu Midu could exert his superiority in military strength, the Tang army would still fall into a hard battle.
However, Li Chengqian's worries were unnecessary. Wu Hese was determined to occupy Tu Midi's wife, and at this time he only wanted to use the Tang Dynasty's hands to kill Tu Midi.
As soon as Wu He met Tu Midu, he hurriedly jumped off his war horse and lay on the ground to apologize: "Uncle, Li Chengqian is too cunning. Nephew is not their opponent at all. If Po Run had not come to deliver the letter to his nephew, he wouldn't know that Li Chengqian was among these eight thousand cavalrymen."
Tu Midu couldn't help but burst into flames when he saw Wu He's incompetent look. He snorted coldly and pointed at Wu He with a whip and said, "I know now, why haven't Li Chengqian been captured yet?"
When Wu He heard this, he might be scared of explosives, and a painful expression appeared on his face and said sadly: "Uncle didn't know that Li Chengqian had a divine thunder in his hand, which was amazingly powerful. His nephew's soldiers were blown up and killed and injured."
When Tu Midu heard this, he subconsciously looked at the people who were with Wuhe. Seeing that almost everyone was injured, he no longer got entangled in this issue.
Instead, he asked about the current situation and said, "How is Li Chengqian now?"
After hearing this, Wu He jumped up and pointed to the valley in the distance and said, "They seem to have little gunpowder, so they hid in this valley waiting for rescue."
When Tu Midu heard this, he looked up at the valley, with a cold light in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Waiting for rescue? I'd better let me catch it."
After saying that, he thrust his horse's buttocks violently, and the war horse ran away.
Seeing this, Wu He hurriedly jumped on the war horse and followed, but the cavalry behind did not accelerate again because the distance was too close, but just followed slowly.
When Li Chengqian saw Tu Midu really heading to their ambush valley, he felt relieved.
"Your Highness, Tu Midu only came more than 30,000 cavalry this time." Wang Fangyi frowned.
"Oh!" More than 60,000 horses ran and shook the ground. Li Chengqian could not tell how many people had come.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he looked closely and asked, "Can the infantry be behind?" Wang Fangyi shook his head and said he didn't know.
Li Chengqian looked at the cavalry brought by Tu Midu who was walking into the valley and said quietly: "Now it seems that this website can only collect so many fish."
Because no matter how many infantry there were behind him, he could not let go of the 30,000 cavalry who had entered the ambush circle.
Li Chengqian understood that Su Dingfang naturally understood, so shortly after Xue Yantuo's cavalry entered the valley, he heard the sound of gunpowder explosion coming from the valley.
Li Chengqian looked at Wu He, who was left behind by Tu Midu, led the crowd to dig a hole to block the retreat of Xue Yantuo's cavalry. Knowing that the major event was settled, he picked up the chant "Chu Ci" and read it again.
After reading a few sentences of "Li Sao", he still looked up and said to Wang Fangyi with a smile: "The ancients said: Only by drinking and reading "Li Sao" can you become a real famous scholar."
"Which famous scholar has ever been able to compare with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Liu Kui said with a slight interest.
----------------------
Li Chengqian was easily storming the 30,000 cavalry brought by Tu Midu, but Li Shimin was already in trouble.
I was chasing all the way and I was about to reach the place where Li Chengqian was surrounded. I don’t know when there were 30,000 cavalry missing in Xueyantuo’s camp.
The fool also knew that these 30,000 cavalry were going to capture Li Chengqian. This news made all the Tang generals crazy because they always thought that there were only 8,000 cavalry beside Li Chengqian had been with him for six days, but now, because they did not take the enemy's attention, Li Chengqian was captured by Xue Yantuo.
No matter how the world and future generations view them, they cannot get over their own conscience.
So Xue Rengui, Xue Wanche, Li Daliang, Zhang Shigui, and Xi Junmai generals all desperately attacked Xueyantuo's camp. Pei Xingjian had already bombed it with explosives. However, when Xue Yantuo established the camp, he had already considered the power of the gunpowder of the Tang army, and the army also defended it with great stubborn losses and did not abandon the camp and fled, which made the Tang army unable to conquer Xueyantuo's camp for a moment.
Li Shimin, Hou Junji, Li Shiji and some civil officials rode on war horses and looked at the anxious battlefield ahead.
Li Shimin was very upset, and he was circling the horses in his hand and wished he could rush to the front line again, but this time Li Shiji was ready to send someone to set up defenses on the periphery at any time to stop Li Shimin.
Just when Li Shimin was so anxious that he could not control himself quickly, he saw Xue Rengui, wearing bright silver armor, running towards him like a tall war horse.
Li Shimin has not received any news from Li Chengqian these days, and he has always had a worry in his heart that Li Chengqian has already captured Xue Yantuo.
