It was very dangerous for Pearl and Yi Shida to do this, because none of the envoys sent by Tuque returned. If it was okay a few days ago, they would return with the army, but now that they are so close, it is unreasonable to still not go back.

So they must hurry up.

At the second watch, the army immediately launched, all the soldiers mounted their horses, and without any other nonsense, they headed directly towards the Tuque camp.

In advance, Qin Hu sent someone to train them as crossbowmen, so they currently have two thousand people who can be used as string-controlling warriors, lining up at the front of the left and right wings of the queue, while the infantry are used in the middle.

Because it is necessary to break through the stronghold wall, the war horses cannot fly through.

They also prepared fire-starting materials in advance, and each soldier carried them with him.

When they arrived at the camp, they found that the Tuque people were really unprepared, and immediately launched a surprise attack after giving the order. Xue Yantuo's soldiers, filled with hatred, poured into the Tuque camp like a tide.

Because they were unprepared and all the soldiers guarding the wall were sleeping, they broke into the camp with little effort.

The battle started in the early morning and lasted until noon of the next day. The Tuque people were defeated. The royal court's 100,000 cavalry fled in all directions. 50,000 of them died under the hoofs of the horses. The rest scattered. Jieli Khan only led 100 cavalry.

A soldier broke out of the siege and escaped to Mobei.

Although this battle failed to defeat Tuque in one fell swoop, it also severely damaged Tuque's vitality. Not to mention the southern expedition to the Central Plains, even self-protection became difficult.

You must know that Tuque has many enemies on the prairie.

And Jieli still had the most powerful enemy staring at him, and that was his nephew Tuli Khan.

Xue Yantuo took the opportunity to expand his victory, occupied the Hetao area in one fell swoop, and launched a desperate attack on Jieli, sending him fleeing in all directions. There was almost no place for him in the entire Monan.

Xue Yantuo was grateful for Qin Hu's help and sent many envoys to express his loyalty to Qin Hu.

Of course it is impossible for Qin Hu to believe them, but at this time, Xue Yantuo is still very weak, and Tuque has not been eliminated, so it is impossible for them to act as monsters. In other words, even if the north has stabilized within a period of time,

Even if there is trouble, it is on a small scale.

So he could finally free up his hands to deal with Li Clan and Liu Wuzhou with all his strength.

In the past few days, Li Clan and Liu Wuzhou had completed their alliance and began to mobilize their armies to prepare for a formal decisive battle with Qin Hu.

Both sides of the battle jointly elected Li Shihao as the commander-in-chief.

Li Shihao was not a fool. He clearly realized that this battle was related to the life and death of the Tang Dynasty, so he threw all his elite forces into the battlefield.

Originally, Li Shihao was unwilling to fight this kind of battle. His consistent philosophy was to defend first and then attack, wearing down the enemy, waiting until the enemy was tired, and then defeating the enemy.

But this trick didn't seem to work very well on Qin Hu.

Because Qin Hu has already acquired a large amount of territory, there is enough food in the granary, and there is no transportation problem, he cannot afford to consume it and can only consume it himself. New

So we had no choice but to fight decisively.

However, Qin Hu's style has always been proactive and offensive, so before the battle started, Li Shihao had already keenly felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Therefore, he sent out his own Black Armor Jingqi and Li Yuanba.

This is his final trump card and chance of winning.

Having said that, after consuming the last of Li Clan's wealth, the Xuanjia Jingqi were indeed extremely elite, even more elite than the most elite Xiaoguo Army in Qin Hu's hands.

But the problem is that there are only four thousand Xuanjia Jingqi, and Qin Hu's Xiaoguo army on the battlefield is fully 40,000. Ten of them will fight one, and of course Qin Hu has a greater chance of winning.

But Li Shihao still has the card of Li Yuanba.

So he still has some confidence.

After receiving the news of Tuquejieli Khan's defeat, Li Shihao fell into a gloomy mood, and one of his hopes was gone.

Now we can only rely on hard work.

Three days later, outside Taiyuan City, there was a plain battlefield.

Li Shihao looked at Qin Hu's military flag and the boundless Yan army and fell into deep thought.

What should we do if we lose this battle?
