Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 110: Rescue Tang with troops, and hold the western half of the river

"Yes, Heichi Changzhi knows that I am in the army, and he will definitely attack the camp."

Pei Xingjian and his companions didn't know why Crown Prince Li Chengqian was so confident, but they went ahead with the plan anyway.

Heichi Changzhi was dubbed as "the leader of a hundred thousand troops to save the Tang Dynasty and hold up half of the Hexi Corridor."

Planning battlefield attacks and selecting generals to defend cities can only be said to be his side jobs. The reason why he has such an honorific title is due to his night attacks. Night attacks are what he is best at, and he is also known as the King of Night Attacks.

When Tubo invaded the border, Li Jingxuan led an army of 100,000 to the west to attack Tubo. The army was trapped in the encirclement of Tubo and was in danger of being destroyed.

At this critical moment of life and death, Heichi Changzhi led 500 soldiers, determined to die, attacked the Tubo military camp at night, beheaded their commander's flag, and defeated Tubo. He was thus known as the 100,000-strong army that saved the Tang Dynasty, and indirectly stabilized the situation in the Tang Dynasty at that time.

In the second year of Tiaolu, Tubo gathered another 30,000 troops and once again invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty to rob supplies.

Heichi Changzhi commanded 3,000 armored soldiers and attacked the enemy at night, killing 2,000 of them and forcing the rest to flee in defeat.

In the years that followed, they defeated the Tubo army many times by attacking the Tubo camp at night, and each time they defeated the Tubo army with a smaller force.

He almost single-handedly reversed the defeat of the Tang Dynasty against Tubo.

The history book says: "Chang Zhi served in the army for seven years. The Tubo people were deeply afraid of him and dared not to cause trouble to the border again."

The Black Teeth were famous for their ability to defeat larger enemies with fewer troops and for their night raids.

Five hundred men dared to attack and kill a hundred thousand Tibetans in the camp.

But now, he only has 2,000 Tang troops. Will Heichi Changzhi be afraid?

And with a prince like Li Chengqian here, Heichi Changzhi only needs to capture him and the situation of the battle will be turned around immediately.

"Wu Xing, Lin Zhi, you should all go to sleep. There's nothing to do now."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he also went to the bed to rest.

But it was indeed very hard, but not even a fraction as hard as Queen Deoksun's bed.

The night was as dark as ink, slowly covering the earth. The bright moonlight sprinkled down like a veil, gradually covering up the bloodiness of the day.

Late at night, everything is silent.

A gate at a corner of Jingyuan South City opened quietly, making a slight creaking sound.

A group of people and horses filed out of the city, their horses' hooves were wrapped in thick linen, which seemed to add a touch of mystery to the march in the dark.

The team moved forward silently, with only the sound of people's voices but no sound of hooves, just like ghost soldiers.

"General Blacktooth, please be careful!"

When Dao Chen was saying goodbye, he exchanged a meaningful look with Heichi Changzhi and nodded slightly.

This battle was a matter of life and death for Baekje, and was also a key battle for their turnaround. Although the action was full of risks, once successful, the rewards would far exceed expectations.

Hundreds of soldiers merged into the darkness silently like ghosts and disappeared without a trace.

"My fellow soldiers, the Tang people are not invincible. They are trying to invade our homeland, and we will never allow it!"

When approaching the enemy's camp, Heichi Changzhi lowered his voice and encouraged the soldiers around him.

The Tang army was like an invisible spell that bound many countries and their armies and made them feel fearful.

The Tang camp was not well guarded, with only a team of knights patrolling around the camp. This patrol method puzzled Heichi Changzhi.

Is the Tang army too wealthy?

Patrolling also requires riding horses.

There was not even a lookout tower. It could only be said that the Tang army was too careless and did not take them seriously at all. "Soldiers, mount your horses and follow me to charge!"

Heichi Changzhi waved the spear in his hand and rushed to the enemy camp. His figure was like a flash of lightning, quickly crossing a distance of a thousand meters and reaching the Tang army in the blink of an eye.

"Enemy attack!"

The knights on patrol shouted in fear, their originally leisurely expressions instantly turned into panic. Faced with the sudden attack, they did not choose to rush forward to intercept, but instead slapped their horses and fled backwards.

"Kill, capture the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty alive!"

Heichi Changzhi raised his spear high and shouted at the top of his lungs. His eyes were fixed on the big tent in front of him, which was the command center of the Tang army and the target of his attack this time. He wanted to capture the prince of the Tang Dynasty alive and reverse the situation.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Zheng! Zheng!
Just when Heichi Changzhi led the Baekje knights into the Tang camp, ready to kill everyone.

Several thick hemp ropes suddenly popped out from the flat ground. These hemp ropes stretched across the middle of the road, forming an insurmountable obstacle.

boom! boom!
Many Baekje knights were caught off guard and fell off their horses. As they were charging too fast, they were unable to rein in the reins in time and could only watch themselves and their horses fall to the ground.

Heichi Changzhi rushed to the front of the team, so he was naturally not immune. The moment he fell off his horse, he felt a strong sense of crisis. He realized that he had fallen into a trap set by the Tang army.

This is luring you into a trap.

The Baekje knights behind them also pulled their reins to try to stop the impact caused by inertia. However, their efforts were in vain, and more knights fell to the ground in chaos.

Tsk!
As this heavy sound rang out, rows of neat and majestic soldiers suddenly rushed out of the Tang army's tent.

Some of these soldiers held shields and lined up tightly to form an impenetrable barrier; others held sharp spears with cold flashes pointing at the enemy. They surrounded the Baekje cavalry tightly, making it impossible for them to escape.

The spikes of the fence were tall and sharp, like the fangs of a giant beast, ruthlessly blocking the path of the Baekje cavalry. This design was obviously designed for the cavalry, with the purpose of preventing them from escaping.

Behind the fence, the remaining Tang troops were already ready. Their bows were fully drawn, their arrows flashing coldly, ready to be fired. At such a close distance, they would surely be able to hit the target without missing a single arrow.

Heichi Changzhi's eyes widened as he scanned the scene before him, and a deep despair surged in his heart. He realized that he had fallen into a desperate situation and that no matter how hard he struggled, he would not be able to escape.

The spears stood in a dense forest, and the bowstrings were fully drawn, as round as the full moon. This scene was chilling, as if a bloody massacre was about to unfold.

"Why is General Black Tooth so anxious? If you want to see me, wouldn't it be better to have someone tell me? It's the middle of the night, and we're all in trouble, aren't we?"

Li Chengqian, surrounded by You Wuxing and Zuo Linzhi, walked to the front.

"Are you the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty?"

Of course Heichi Changzhi knew who Li Chengqian was by the majestic temperament.

The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty looked very young, about the same age as himself.

"Yes, but General Heichi didn't seem too happy to see me." Li Chengqian said with a wry smile.

"This letter I wrote to General Black Tooth. General Black Tooth, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian looked at Heichi Changzhi calmly.

"You don't have to be so hypocritical. The soldiers who surrendered to Baekje were massacred. Was it not you who gave the order? Do you think I will believe your words?"

Heichi Changzhi grasped the spear tightly in his hand and pointed it horizontally at Li Chengqian.

I would rather die than surrender.

Won’t those who surrender be slaughtered too?
