The Turkic army spread out to both sides like a tide. A team of mighty cavalry came straight to the front of the formation, across the river from Li Shimin on the other side. Li Xiu also saw Jie Li in the crowd opposite. Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly from far away, his gorgeous armor was really too conspicuous.

Before Jie Li came to the Turkic army, he was very alert to be far away from the river bank. In fact, the same was true for Li Shimin. Both sides were quite far from the river bank to avoid being attacked by the other party. After all, as the head coach, their personal safety is more important than anyone else.

Seeing Jie Li Khan coming from afar, Li Shimin waved his hand and asked the army by the river to retreat about a hundred steps, and then led Li Xiu and others to climb a high ground by the river. Then he whispered to the other side: "Can the Great Khan come and see him?"

Seeing Li Shimin taking the initiative to go forward to negotiate, Jie Li on the opposite side had no manners. He actually led a guard of about a thousand people to step forward and also climbed a slope opposite Li Shimin. The guards surrounded the entire slope to ensure Jie Li's safety.

"Shimin's virtuous nephew has always been good. Since the last time I parted, I miss you very much!" Jie Li Khan finally spoke at this time, and directly regarded Li Shimin as a junior. Of course, this is normal, because the Turks and the Tang Dynasty have always been brothers on the surface, so Jie Li is considered to be a peer of Li Yuan. It is barely reasonable to call Li Shimin this way, but he led a large army and directly recognized Li Shimin as a junior, which felt a sense of domineeringness.

"Haha, I'm worried about it, but I don't know why my elder brother brought the army today. Is the Khan the king's country a brother, and is it the Khan going to tear up the covenant of that day?" Li Shimin said with a smile, not angry at all because of Jie Li's condescending attitude.

Li Shimin once again asked the Turks whether they wanted to betray the original covenant. Tuli was speechless just now, but Jie Li suddenly sneered and said, "You are wrong with your nephew Shimin. Ben Khan heard that you had launched a coup that was rebellious. Not only did you kill your brother, my poor nephew Jiancheng, but you also imprisoned your father. I am a brother to you. Now that I see him in prison, I naturally have to come and remove him and help him get rid of your son who is rebellious!"

Jie Li said the above words loudly and directly accused Li Shimin of being rebellious. It can be said that he did not give him any face at all. He even wanted to deliberately anger Li Shimin. After all, he came here with an army of 200,000, not because he was chatting with Li Shimin, but for the wealth of the Chang'an City behind him.

Faced with Jie Li's humiliation, even with Li Shimin's cunning, his face turned red for a moment. Li Xiu next to him even saw Li Shimin's fists tightly clenched, and his knuckles turned white because he tried too hard. But even so, Li Shimin was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said with a smile: "Great Khan, our family affairs are not troubled, let alone our Tang Dynasty did not ask you to come to mediate. It is probably a bit inappropriate to come here uninvited now, right?"

When Li Shimin said this, his right hand was quietly behind him, and then he made a hand gesture to Cheng Yaojin behind him. Cheng Yaojin immediately understood and began to quietly withdraw and issue orders. Li Xiu saw these, and he also knew what Cheng Yaojin was going to do.

Just in the team behind them, there was a small hole in the ground, with a rope connected to the opposite bank through the river surface. In the same hole on the opposite bank, there were several dead soldiers hidden. They had only one task, that is, to assassinate Jie Li when the rope was pulled, of course, not by their own force to assassinate, but by the power of gunpowder.

Jie Li's answer to Li Shimin was a little weak, but laughed again, then said with a cold face: "Nephew Shimin, I love your father with my brothers, and his family affairs are naturally my family affairs, and I really have to take care of this matter!"

"Great Khan, there are some things you can't control just by just wanting to take care of. I advise you to go back early so as not to lose your life in vain!" After Li Shimin gave the order, he suddenly said with a sneer on his face. He had seen the rope pulled from the river surface, which also indicated that the order had been issued. Now let's look at the dead soldiers across the river.

"Hahahaha~, it's a big joke. Ben Khan has a army of 200,000 here. I want to see how you take my life?" Jie Li laughed to the sky when he heard Li Shimin's threat. In fact, not only him, but even the Turkic generals around him felt that this was a joke. Although the camp of the Tang army opposite was continuous, they had already received reports from the inside line in advance, knowing that Chang'an's defenses were only tens of thousands, and there were no reinforcements around, so it was impossible for them to be their opponent.

However, just as Jie Li and others were laughing to the sky, the war horses they were standing under suddenly became uneasy, and the horse's hooves kept lifting and falling, and even wanted to retreat. Some horses kept sniffing. If it weren't for the restraint of the horse knight, they might have escaped immediately.

"What's going on?" Jie Li also noticed the abnormality of the horse at this time and asked with a frown. Unfortunately, no one could answer his question, and the other Turks were all at a loss.

Then at this moment, Jie Li suddenly felt a loud "boom" in his ears, and then his feet became soft, and then an irresistible force came, making him feel that he flew up all of a sudden, but his body was very painful. Finally, he lost consciousness when his eyes turned black.

In the eyes of Tuli and others behind, they only heard a loud thunder-like sound, and then the hillside where Jie Li was located was turned into ashes as if it was really hit by a divine thunder. Jie Li and others even flew up, and people and horses were flying in the air. This scene was beyond their imagination.

But this was just the beginning. After the hillside where Jie Li and the others exploded, there were a series of explosions in front of and around them. The rumbling sounds were endless, as if God was angrily punishing them. This shocked the Turks who reacted, especially the horses were frightened and ran around, and the Turkic army suddenly became chaotic!

"Save Khan quickly!" However, even in the chaos, many loyal Turks still thought of Jie Li. Some people overcame the fear in their hearts and rushed forward to find Jie Li who was blown away, but some people simply turned their heads and ran away, especially when someone saw Tuli taking the lead in escaping, which made many Turks flee in panic.

"Beat the drum!" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing wildly when he saw the situation on the other side of the shore, and then immediately ordered the drum to attack. Then he saw that there were suddenly many ambushing Tang soldiers on both sides of the Turkic people on the other side, with a total of about 20,000 people. This was also everyone who could use Chang'an. In fact, although the military camp behind Li Shimin was continuous, there were all empty. He only had a few thousand people around him, and all the people left were ambushed by him on the other side.

Among these Tang troops that came out, there was a black cavalry that was extremely conspicuous. It was Li Shimin's largest trump card, Xuanjia Army. The leader was a yellow-faced general who swung long robbed and rushed into the Turks like a tiger down the mountain. This powerful general was Qin Qiong who had not seen for a long time. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin also re-activated him, and Qin Qiong also let go of his previous dissatisfaction with Li Shimin. The monarch and minister finally cooperated again for the Tang Dynasty. After all, the Xuanjia Army can only play the greatest role in the hands of powerful generals like Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong.

"It's really successful, I just don't know if Jie Li is dead?" Li Xiu looked at the Tang army on the other side and rushed into the chaotic Turkic army, and couldn't help but feel excited for a moment.

The main reason why Li Shimin asked Yuchi Gong to risk his life to lead the Turkic army here was that they had tampered with each other on the other side, and almost all the gunpowder made by Li Xiu was buried under the ground on the other side.

As for the hillside where Jie Li stood, it was specially selected by Li Shimin. When he stood here, the hillside was just opposite him, and the surrounding area had the best view. Anyone who knew military tactics would choose to climb up the hillside to talk to Li Shimin. As a result, this naturally fell into Li Shimin's calculations. In addition, even if Jie Li did not climb up the hillside, there was gunpowder buried under the ground within half a mile of the hillside, and it was all connected by a lead. Therefore, as long as Jie Li stepped forward and talked to Li Shimin, he had already stepped into the gate of hell with half his foot.

The Turkic army in chaos faced the carefully calculated Tang army, even though they had a huge advantage in numbers, all the Turks were scared by the explosion just now. After all, the feeling of the sky and the earth was like a punishment of heaven. Not to mention the Turks, even many people in the Tang army were so scared that their faces were pale. However, after they reacted, they felt that they were like divine help, and then transformed into the belief of killing the enemy and winning. Therefore, they were extremely brave. All the Turks who stood in front of them would face their ruthless butcher swords.

Kill! Kill! Kill... It was not the first time Li Xiu witnessed the cruelty on the battlefield, but it was the first time he saw more than 20,000 people chasing an enemy who was ten times more than he had.

In the past, Li Xiu suspected that Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops at the time, but seeing the scene in front of him forced him to miss it. He saw that the originally fierce Turkic people seemed to have become sheep who only knew how to escape. There were even some people who could even step on their companions to escape. Even if there was no statistics, Li Xiu could be sure that there were no fewer people who were trampled to death.
