Chapter 302 Hundreds of Thousands of Soldiers

Ten days passed quickly, and during this period, there was news from Li Mengchang that he had arrived at a safe place smoothly, and Li Ke received their prepared reply from Zhang Gongjin, Du Junchuo, and Liu Rengui. At this point, all the tactics set by Li Ke against the Turks had been deployed, and he was waiting for him to issue the final attack order, and the most huge battle in the Tang Dynasty since Li Shimin ascended the throne began.

As a major border town, Youzhou City has become very depressed because of the approaching war. Whether it is among the pedestrians walking on the street or in the military camp, you can feel the strong smell of war brought by the war, which is a very murderous intent, a fear, and a seemingly indifference.

It seems that the people in Youzhou City have adapted to the influence brought to them by the war, either that they believe that King Li Ke of Han could create miracles, or... even the many discordant atmospheres before the war did not affect the normal life of the people of Youzhou.

In Youzhou Governor's Office, Li Ke summoned the so-called generals and began to issue the final order.

In fact, the combat tactics have been arranged long ago. Today, Li Ke gathered everyone in the Governor's Office, with the purpose of giving the generals confidence and creating a strong fighting spirit for them.

After all, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were both at a disadvantage in the long-term war.

Moreover, it was the first time that Li Ke's plan to fight the entire Turkic cavalry with two men from Hedong and Hebei Road was implemented. Not to mention the generals around Li Ke, they believed in Li Ke, and they had witnessed Li Ke's wisdom with their own eyes. However, for the generals who were drawn from other places, they had only heard of Li Ke's reputation and wisdom with their own eyes, and they had never seen it with their own eyes, and they always had doubts in their hearts.

Therefore, Li Ke’s idea is very simple, which is to eliminate the doubts in the hearts of the generals, give them confidence, and give them confidence in the war against the Turks.

The hall of the Governor's Office was filled with generals from various prefectures in Bingzhou, especially those closest generals around Li Ke. They all held real power and stood in front of the generals. They were like Su Dingfang, Sun Erlang, Chen Qi, Guo Shifeng, Xu Jingzong and Meng Shan.

"Everyone, we have been waiting for a long time - for a long time. Today we finally waited for the day we most hoped for, that is, to wash away the shame of our Tang soldiers. How to wash away the shame of being a Tang soldiers? That is, to annihilate the Turkic cavalry in the Youbei Grassland." Li Ke said here and shouted loudly, "Do you have confidence?"

"Yes-" the generals replied loudly, and Li Ke's words to wash away the shame of the Tang soldiers aroused the long-suppressed anger and bloodyness in their hearts.

"Since you have confidence, since you have decided to cleanse up the shame you have suffered as a Tang soldier, then I will give you the opportunity to set out and the art of war is in the north!" Li Ke ordered.

"No——" the generals shouted in unison, giving up a way to Li Ke and followed Li Ke out of the Governor's Office.

Li Ke's personal guards outside the Governor's Office, the One Thousand Eagle Guards and Three Thousand Wolf Cavalry, were ready to go. Li Ke took the reins of the horse from Wang Zhongchang, turned over the horse, and rushed out the first. The generals behind him followed closely, and behind them were the well-trained Eagle Guards and the murderous wolf cavalry camp.

Under Li Ke's leadership, everyone left Youzhou City and saw that the 110,000 troops outside the city were ready to go, namely the 40,000 Youzhou Army, the 50,000 Bingzhou Army, the 10,000 Bingzhou Army, the 10,000 cavalry of the Right Camp of the Bingzhou Cavalry and Infantry Army, as well as the 5,000 Ghost Face Cavalry and 5,000 heavy cavalry. Among them, the wolf cavalry of the former guards of Li Ke were scattered among Sun Erlang's Bingzhou Cavalry and Infantry Army.

The vast army of 110,000 left Youzhou City and headed straight for the Turkic garrison. This movement was quite serious. Even the Turkic and Jie Li spies scattered in Youzhou City were difficult to know. Therefore, when Li Ke's army arrived ten miles away from the Turkic garrison in the afternoon, the Turkic had already led troops to wait for Li Ke for a long time.

Tuli didn't expect Li Ke to lead so many troops. When he saw nearly half of the cavalry, Turks looked surprised. However, when he saw the elite wolf cavalry camp beside Li Ke, the ghost-faced cavalry like a sharp sword, and the murderous heavy cavalry camp, he could no longer hide his surprised expression. At the same time, he believed in the words of Li Ke that his purpose was Jie Li.

Indeed, if Li Ke is as smart as he is, as long as he has three elite cavalry around him, it is not impossible to compete with Jie Li, but it is absolutely possible, and there is still a big chance of winning.

Li Ke saw Tuli from thousands of cavalry centers opposite him from afar, and ordered Su Dingfang beside him to slow down the marching speed. Li Ke slowly came to the Turks under the escort of the generals and the Thousand Eagle Guards.

"I feel deeply uneasy when I ask the two Khans of Tuli to wait for me again!" Li Ke said with a smile.

"Ashi's ministry can get the help of Your Highness. Your Highness is my most respected guest. Why should you be polite?" Tuli also bowed with a smile.

"Today I brought 100,000 soldiers, with the purpose of joining forces with the two Khans of Tuli to annihilate the enemies in front of me - Fu Zhen and Zhishi's 100,000 Iron Cavalry." Li Ke said seriously, "As long as there is a war on this grassland, our Tang army will still rely on the two Khans of Tuli."

As the commander of the 110,000 army, Li Ke naturally had to talk about the ugly words first.

"That's certain. Please rest assured His Highness the King of Han. The Tang Dynasty's army arrived at my Tuli's station. I will definitely arrange it properly!" Tuli said with apologies, but he also admired Li Ke's rigorous attitude as the head coach.

Immediately, the two of them walked side by side, and the army began to slowly move towards Tuli's station.

With what Li Ke said when he met, Tuli arranged the camp of Li Ke's 110,000 troops very well. In addition, the ability of the deputy commander of the marching army, the entire Tang army camp had been built at the junction of You, the soldiers' tents had been set up, and the soldiers had already had supper.

At this time, Tuli sent people to invite Su Dingfang and the generals of the Tang army to his tent to discuss military information.

Because, in the tent of the king who had already Tuli had already been in advance, the generals such as Su Dingfang, Sun Erlang, Chen Qi and Xu Jingzong did not dare to neglect them, and hurriedly followed Tuli's envoy to Tuli's tent of the two Khans.

When the generals walked into Tuli's tent, they found that Li Ke and Tuli were sitting in the center of the tent. Tuli's side was filled with many generals, and the rows of seats on Li Ke were empty, obviously for Su Dingfang and others.

Su Dingfang, Sun Erlang, Xu Jingzong, Chen Qi, Guo Shifeng and other generals first saluted Li Ke and Tuli, and then slowly sat in the empty seat next to him.
