Chapter 498 Reinforcements are on the way

"Your Highness, please eat some. If you don't eat, your body won't be able to bear it."

In the tent of His Highness King Wu, the deputy general next to him brought food, which was slightly better than that of ordinary soldiers, but King Wu Li Ke couldn't eat it at all now, and he couldn't eat it for a whole day.

"Distribute the food to the soldiers below. I can't eat it for the time being. Have all the spies outside come back? Which direction is there a gap?"

King Li Ge of Wu no longer cares about eating. What he wants to know most now is from which direction he can rush out. Yesterday, he carried out a charge and ran into Turkic tribesmen. The brigade lost nearly eight people. Of the hundreds of cavalry, no one rushed back, so they had no choice but to return to the original camp. It would be even harder to rush out now. They already knew where the Tang army was, and they would definitely monitor the area strictly.

"Your Majesty, the spies have all returned. Currently, there are more and more enemy military camps in the area around our army. Although part of it is a bluff, we don't know which part is..."

The lieutenant general said with some embarrassment, there can never be so many enemies. Some of them must be fake, but we can't tell them at all now, so we can only stand still for the time being. If you act rashly, you may encounter enemies at any time. When the enemy's large group of troops arrived, they would suffer casualties again.

"Reporting to Your Highness, a messenger from the imperial court has arrived..."

Just when King Wu Li Ke was sad, several cavalrymen came from a distance. One of them had a bow and arrow on his back. It was obvious that he had been shot by someone on the grassland. They should have come together. But now there is only one person intact, and there is another wounded soldier. You can imagine how many heavy soldiers there are on the way back...

"Medical officer..."

King Wu Li Ke took off the wounded soldier on his horse and handed it to the medical officer next to him. He now wanted to know what the court meant.

In the past ten days, they have lost contact with the imperial court. Only now did they learn the news from the imperial court. It turned out that half a month ago, the imperial court ordered Li Xiang to send troops. Counting the days, Li Xiang's army Having arrived on the grassland, King Wu Li Ke also breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not narrow-minded, he just wants to find a chance to prove himself. He is very grateful to Li Xiang for leading troops to rescue him. If Li Xiang had not come, then all of his men might have died here. Well, Wu King Li Ke didn't value his own life very much, but if these people died here because of his mistakes, I'm afraid he would not be able to return to Chang'an to see those people.

"Xiao Yu's entire army and the imperial reinforcements are on the way. Your Highness Taisun is the general and will arrive in the southern part of our army in the near future."

After hearing what King Wu said, the people under his command were about to jump with joy. If the imperial court randomly sent an army to support them, I am afraid they would not be happy. After all, the situation on the grassland was extremely complicated, and they themselves were all All the elite armies have suffered losses here. What effect can a random army have?

But if this army came from Goguryeo, it would be completely different. During the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, His Highness Taisun took away the most elite army in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it was unstoppable all the way. Now it has given Goguryeo to The country has been destroyed. If such an army arrives on the grassland, wouldn't it be more powerful than the prairie wolves? There is hope for those of us.

"No, the entire army is on alert."

King Wu Li Ke was about to be happy for a while. Suddenly he thought of a fatal thing. Since Li Xiang's army had arrived on the grassland, people from various Turkic tribes must have known about it. In this case, their team The military is the most dangerous.

Both the Turks and the Bloody Rock Camel people understand that these armies under my king are already extremely weak. If the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty are allowed to join these people, then the combat effectiveness of these people can be restored. But if Li Xiang is not there, If they meet up with them and annihilate them in one fell swoop, that will be their victory.

Several generals under his command also immediately figured this out. From the time Li Xiang entered the grassland to the end when he found them, the time in between should be the most dangerous.

Although the soldiers didn't understand what was going on, they were the most elite frontier troops in the Tang Dynasty. When the general issued an order, they would not delay here and immediately grabbed their weapons and went to their posts. run.

Two hours later, a black line finally appeared on the hill to their south. Two and a half hours later, it was also discovered on the left. The enemy was just as King Wu predicted. These people also knew that Datang had The army has entered the grassland, so it must first deal with King Wu's army before they come over.

King Wu Li Ge is also wearing armor at the moment. Since entering the grassland, he has been on the front line in all battles. If he had not been greedy for victory, perhaps he would not be so passive now.

Originally, the enemy's attack date was still longer. They had to wait for the Tang Dynasty army to be weaker before attacking. By then, their losses would be smaller. But now they can't wait any longer. The army coming from the Tang Dynasty is coming soon. Yes, they also sent troops to stop him, but they didn't expect that the two sides were not on the same level at all, so they had to deal with King Wu's army first.

Xue Yantuo's coalition camp.

Khan Xue Yantuo and several Turkic kings were sitting in the camp with extremely bad expressions on their faces. They had just sent out four thousand cavalry to stop my army from the Tang Dynasty, but they did not expect that it was just a contact. , these four thousand cavalry were overwhelmed by the opponent. As for how they were defeated, they have not received exact information so far.

"The army of the Tang Dynasty is very powerful. We know that the army in front of us belongs to their King Wu. We also know the combat effectiveness of these armies, but where did that army of the Tang Dynasty come from? Ours Four thousand cavalrymen didn’t even make a splash, which is terrible.”

King Xiutu of the Turks said fiercely, "Three thousand of the four thousand cavalry came from his tribe. Now if you can't see anyone alive or dead, you know that a lot of horses have come back, but the people on the horses are Can't find it.

"If I guess correctly, these people should be from Goguryeo. Judging from their direction, they should be from Goguryeo."

Khan Xue Yantuo's words surprised everyone. He was the most capable person in the Tang Dynasty...
