Chapter 183 The Hand-to-Blade Battle Begins
Of course, Chen Zhibao did not look down on Li Qing because of his remarks. Instead, he thought that Li Qing was a person with a temperament.
Including Li Ning, he has also unified the same attitude towards them on weekdays, that is, training his soldiers must make them take saving their lives in war as the first element. Of course, this must be done without escaping.
Chen Zhibao saw what Li Ren looked like to the soldiers under his command and the people in his territory. Such a prince was naturally the person he wanted to follow.
"Don't worry, Prince, just go and kill the Uighur Khan, I'll plunder the formation for you!"
With Chen Zhibao's guarantee, Li Qing became even more courageous. For this battle, he prepared enough. In addition to the armor on his body, he even wore the soft armor that was known as the strongest in this era. This thing was dug out from An Lushan's original treasure in Yuyang City. According to Li Qing's guess, there were probably no such good things in Tai Chi Palace.
Most of the fights reached the foot of the mountain. At this time, Li Yan directly led his army to rush towards the largest general flag in the Uighur army.
Although Li Neng could not understand the text or patterns on the Uighur banner, he could almost conclude that the Uighur Khan should be under this banner.
Just as Li Neng thought, Mou Yu Khan was also wearing armor at this time, holding a long sword unique to the Uighurs, staring at Li Neng and the army he was leading, who were approaching quickly.
"I think that's King Jianning of the Tang Dynasty, ready to face the enemy! After the enemy arrives at the land of one arrow, let them see the archery techniques of our Uighurs!"
Mou Yu Khan was obviously a child who grew up on horseback since childhood. He didn't feel nervous when he saw the enemy rushing over quickly, but was very excited. The enemy war horses that were rushing over were like targets prepared for his Uighur soldiers in his eyes.
He had such confidence. If it weren't for this confidence, he wouldn't have become the Khan of the Uighurs.
Soon, the Uighur cavalry reached an arrow, and the Uighurs took out bows and arrows from behind in an orderly manner, and drew their bows and arrows at a very fast speed. It was obvious that they had practiced their posture many times.
However, since Li Yan dared to follow the Uighurs to do so, he had done his homework before. As early as when he started charging, Li Yan had already ordered how to deal with the enemy's bows and arrows.
Putting aside the combat power on the horse, just in terms of bows and arrows, the Tang cavalry was still far from the Uighurs.
After repeated consideration, Li Yan decided to fight against the Uighurs, these cavalry of the Tang Dynasty simply gave up carrying bows and arrows and replaced them with a shield.
This time, whether it is the Yuyang Cavalry or the Suiyang Cavalry, they carry three weapons, one long weapon, one short sword, and one shield. This shield is actually to resist the arrows that the Uighur cavalry almost hits wherever they are.
When their distance was approaching an arrow, Li Yan gave the order, all the Tang cavalry took out their shields and stood in front of him, covering almost the entire upper body exposed on the war horse, leaving only a small part of the eyes outside.
To put it in the words before Li Yan set out, if your forehead can be shot by an arrow, it may be that the King of Hell misses you, and he will probably treat you well if he goes there.
Indeed, among the large number of cavalry, a very small number were shot by the Uighurs' arrows, but most of the arrows were indeed shot on the shield as Li Ling expected.
"Okay! Go ahead at full speed!"
After surviving this first wave, not only Li Yan, but also the confidence of the cavalry has increased a lot. They remembered Li Yan's guidance to them and fought the Uighur cavalry, and they must get close to them as soon as possible. As the Tang cavalry, their advantage is that their armor and weapons on their hands are more complete than those in the enemy. As long as they are close, these things can play a greater role.
Not only that, in combat, the Uighur cavalry had a better physique, while the Tang cavalry were good at using various fighting skills and weapons and moves.
In other words, the Uighurs have three axes. Although there are not many people who can withstand these three axes, once they can withstand these three axes, there will definitely be some fighting behind them.
"Shield? It seems that King Jianning has really studied our Uighur cavalry a lot! He sent an order to prepare for close combat and let them see the power of our Uighur cavalry. Ben Khan asked you to solve the enemy in front of you within an hour. As long as they are solved, Hebei Road will be ours!"
Next, it was obvious that a hundred people were killed, and Li Wen could only do his best to do his best and leave his will.
As he imagined, the young Khan of the Uighurs was obviously a martial artist. He was not commanding at a high place, but like Li Yan, he used his own weapons to charge into the battle.
Such ability is indispensable among the generals of this era. Only at the age of Guo Ziyi can he be in charge of command in the rear without being looked down upon by his soldiers. But Mu Yu Khan had just taken the throne and was using the blood of the enemy to establish his authority in front of his soldiers, so he could only wield his sword to kill the enemy.
This is not the first time Li Yan has experienced the cruel hand-to-hand combat. His method of killing enemies is much more skillful than when he was in Suiyang before, and he has no distracting thoughts in his heart.
Li Neng's state of mind has indeed improved. At this time, he had fully understood one truth, that is, his hands may be stained with a lot of blood donations from the enemy, and his soldiers may also show a lot of young lives. However, if he does not do this, the Uighurs will cause more murders in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
This era is obviously different from more than a thousand years later. Here, only those with strong fists can make rules. If you want to have a new order, you must destroy the previous order. This is exactly what Li Neng is doing now.
So when Li Neng's spear head penetrated into the enemy's body, he had no trouble. He just wanted to end the war as soon as possible and to give Hebei and Hebei Road a tranquility in the north. On this land, Li Neng wanted to fully implement his rules.
Even in the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Qing had a set of rules he wanted, but it was too difficult for him to realize this wish now. He almost faced huge challenges every step. For example, now, even he himself did not know whether he would be the one who would eventually be buried in this northern border.
