Chapter 324: Bloody Battle at Xiangji Temple!

"My lord, let's send troops to pursue them."

Seeing that the Tang army was launching an all-out attack to hunt down the rebels, Yuchi Jingde was eager to join the battle immediately.

"There's no need to rush."

Li Qian estimated that Li Guiren had only about 30,000 cavalrymen, while in the difficult Battle of Xiangji Temple, the rebels had 125,000 men, indicating that the main force of the rebels was still behind.

Du Ruhui's eyes were deep, and he saw the intention of the rebels: "The rebels are trying to lure the enemy. My lord, you can use their trick against them."

Li Qian followed the Tang army and always maintained the formation.

On the plain in the north, 65,000 Yan army infantrymen were ready for battle.

There were 13,000 elite cavalrymen on each side of the Yan army's infantry phalanx.

A burly man was holding a dragon-sparrow large ring knife. He had more than one scar on his face, his eyes were like those of a wolf, and a cruel smile hung on the corners of his mouth.

When the elite cavalry of the Yan army saw the Tang army approaching, they put on their masks, held their lances, and their horses panted anxiously.

"The main force of the bandits is just ahead!"

"No, we fell into a trap!"

The Tang army was chasing Li Guiren's cavalry when they discovered 90000 rebels lined up on the plain ahead and realized they had fallen into a trap.

What the rebels were waiting for was the opportunity when the Tang army's formation would become disorganized due to the pursuit.

The rebels had fought with the officers and soldiers many times and had already become as cunning as foxes.

Seeing that the Tang army had taken the bait, the main force of the Yan army pressed forward and attacked from three sides.

"Hahaha, you've fallen into the trap! This is where you will be buried!"

Li Guiren led the defeated cavalry to bypass the infantry phalanx of the Yan army, and let An Shouzhong deal with the pursuing Tang army.

Then, Li Guiren reorganized the cavalry in the rear.

"Destroy them!"

An Shouzhong raised the Dragon Sparrow Large Ring Sword and led nearly 100,000 Yan troops to engage in close combat with the Tang army.

The Tang army was in disarray due to its pursuit of the rebels, and was forced to engage in battle when faced with the rebel attack.

"Run rampant across the world!"

An Shouzhong brandished the Dragon Sparrow Large Ring Sword and rushed into the Tang army. The sword danced wildly, and the sword energy crisscrossed. The heads of Tang army soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Dozens of Yan army generals followed An Shouzhong in launching an attack. These generals were armed with all kinds of weapons and looked ferocious and vicious. Wherever they went, rivers of blood flowed.

The Yan army was well-equipped and was not inferior to the Tang army at all. Moreover, in the difficult mode, the Yan army was even more ferocious and the Tang army began to retreat.

"what!"

A Tang army general had his arm chopped off by An Shouzhong's Longque large ring knife, and let out a shrill scream.

The dragon bird's large ring knife chopped diagonally, and the head of the Tang army general flew high.

An Shouzhong rode an armored warhorse and galloped among the Tang army. The dragon-sparrow large ring knife whirled in his hand, flashing with cold light, and the Tang army was unable to stop him.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

An Shouzhong had the upper hand and laughed wildly, while the Tang army was defeated under the attack of his 90,000-strong army.

"My Lord, should we take action now?"

Yuchi Jingde could no longer hold back and swung his steel whip in the air, which made a whistling sound as it hit the air.

"not the right time yet."

Seeing that Yeluohe, the most elite rebel among the rebels, had not yet been killed, Li Qian was not in a hurry to take action himself.

The Tang army's Modao army and Huihe cavalry had not yet gone into battle. Although the Tang army was defeated, it was not completely defeated and still had the strength to fight. The Tang army retreated all the way to their own camp, and Li Qian never sent out troops, but followed the Tang army in retreat.

"If the baggage in the camp is lost, the emperor will be furious. What should we do now?"

Seeing that the Tang army was chased by the rebels to the camp, Li Chu was at a loss and asked Guo Ziyi for advice.

Guo Ziyi was paying close attention to the changes on the battlefield: "The rebels are greedy, this may be our chance."

Just as Guo Ziyi had expected, the rebels attacked the Tang army camp and began to plunder their supplies, causing the pressure on the Tang army to drop sharply.

"Idiot, kill all the Tang army, these supplies are ours too!"

An Shouzhong killed another Tang general and became furious when he saw his soldiers scrambling to grab the baggage. He killed several rebels with his own hands, which allowed the rebels to return to the battle.

The Tang army also took this opportunity to regroup.

Li Siye took off his armor, held the Mo Dao in his hand, and stood in front of the battle like an iron tower, shouting: "In today's battle, if you advance, you will die, if you retreat, you will die too. It's better to follow me to die! Kill!"

Li Siye, holding the Wansheng Modao, charged into the Yan army, hacking left and right. No matter whether they were infantry or cavalry of the Yan army, anyone who dared to stop Li Siye was chopped to pieces!

The boiling blood splashed on Li Siye. Li Siye was like a bloody war god. Wherever he went with his sword, the Yan army wailed everywhere.

"Kill!!!"

The more rebels Li Siye killed, the higher the morale of the Tang army became, and they followed Li Siye to launch a counterattack.

Two thousand Modao soldiers equipped with Ming Guang armor raised their Modao and formed a wall of swords. Wherever the Modao pointed, the rebels were chopped down.

At the peak of his career, Li Siye not only had extremely high martial arts power, but he also had a higher bonus to his exclusive military branch, the "Tang Dynasty Modao Army". The Modao Army advanced like a mountain and a wall, and both heavy infantry and heavy cavalry were chopped into pieces by the wall of swords, leaving their bodies scattered all over the ground.

The Yan army was counterattacked, and An Shouzhong was furious. He personally led the heavy armored infantry to fight with the Modao army.

The Longque large ring knife came down on their heads, breaking the Modao soldiers, and the heads of the Modao soldiers flew up.

An Shouzhong was in a high position, holding a large dragon-sparrow ring knife, and killed more than a dozen Modao soldiers in a row.

Under the command of An Shouzhong, the Yan army and the Tang army engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand combat. Soldiers were killed all the time, and the blood dyed the land below Xiangji Temple red.

"The Tang army is really tenacious, but as long as my cavalry goes down, it will be the final blow."

Li Guiren regrouped and gathered 30,000 cavalrymen around him, including 4,000 elite cavalrymen.

The four thousand cavalrymen were all strong and muscular, holding iron spears, wearing iron helmets and heavy armor, riding strong war horses, and looking very imposing.

"Follow me to go around and defeat the Tang army!"

Li Guiren and a group of rebel generals led 30,000 cavalrymen to make a detour from the side.

"Pugu Huai'en, go stop them."

Guo Ziyi noticed that a cavalry unit of the rebels was trying to outflank the enemy, so he sent out the Uighur cavalry that had been sitting still.

"As ordered."

Pugu Huai'en jumped on his horse, holding a spear, and shouted something in the Uighur language. The morale of the 4,000 Uighur cavalry was high, and they shouted loudly one by one.

Prince Yehu wore heavy armor and went into battle with Pugu Huai'en.

Li Chu personally poured wine to his sworn brother and said, "I am waiting here for your triumphant return."

Prince Yehu nodded and ordered four thousand Uighur cavalry in Uighur language. The Uighur cavalry cheered again and their morale was even higher.

Four thousand cavalrymen, led by Pugu Huai'en and Crown Prince Yehu, fought against thirty thousand rebels.

"These 25000 cavalrymen are the most elite cavalrymen of the Uighur Khanate. Under normal circumstances, they should be able to defeat the rebels. However, the rebels have more cavalrymen, so the Uighur cavalrymen will suffer... We are ready to go into battle."

Li Qian saw that the elite troops of the Tang and Yan armies had been deployed, and it was finally time to reap the rewards.
