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

Chapter 162 War breaks out

Xue Rengui paused for a moment, then straightened his chest and took a step forward. He knew in his heart that Li Chengqian did not intend to re-employ Xue Wanche and other old generals.

Now is a great opportunity to establish your own achievements and showcase your talents.

"Your Highness, I think we should open the city gates to welcome the enemy and strengthen our military might. Once the two armies clash, we should first kill the enemy leader to defeat the enemy."

"General Xue, are you sure you can do this?" Li Chengqian asked. In terms of bravery and fearlessness, naturally no one could match Xue Rengui.

"As long as Gao Yanshou gets within a hundred steps, I will be able to kill him with one arrow!"

Xue Rengui was best at archery.

"Since General Xue is so confident, if Gao Yanshou comes to invade, we should open the city gates and fight him." Li Chengqian nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, isn't this too risky? If we defend the city, our army will have the upper hand. It would be unwise to go out of the city to meet the enemy."

Niu Dajin felt very bad. The tactics arranged by these two young men were meant to trap him to death.

"The army has no fixed position, and the water has no fixed shape. We can win by adapting to the enemy's changes. Although Gao Yanshou's troops are numerous, they are just a temporary patchwork, a mob. There is no need to worry. If they dare to attack, we will go out of the city to fight them."

The Tang army was well-armed and had the upper hand.

A day later, Gao Yanshou's troops got a short rest and then led the attack.

The night is long and dreams are many. Gao Yanshou also wants to end the battle as soon as possible.

"Tsk!"

With a crisp sound, the tightly closed gate of Liaocheng slowly opened.

Xue Rengui was seen leading the way, leading a group of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor out of the city.

The army was lined up neatly in a row, like a solid line of defense, facing the enemy from a distance.

"Lord, the Tang army has always been known for its cunning, and now they are going out of the city to fight. We need to be careful and cautious, I am afraid there is a trick."

Gao Huizhen, standing in the center of the army, had a solemn expression and a tone full of worry.

Having fought with the Tang army many times, he was well aware of their cunning and volatility, so he remained highly vigilant about the current situation.

"Yes, we have suffered too many losses from the Tang army. It is really puzzling to face their strange fighting style this time."

Gao Yanshou, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown, and a sense of vigilance surged in his heart.

A head-on battle made them feel strange instead.

"So, have you found out who the commander of Liaocheng is?"

Gao Yanshou asked eagerly, hoping to find some clues about his opponent's identity.

"It is said that he was a young general of the Tang army named Xue Rengui, who was only in his early twenties. He was extremely brave on the battlefield, so he was specially promoted by Li Chengqian."

Ko Hye-jin replied.

"He is just a little-known general. So, Li Ji and Li Dao Zong should really be imprisoned. This is good, God is helping me. Pass on my order and let the front army prepare to attack the city."

A hint of joy flashed across Gao Yanshou's face, because he had always been worried about powerful enemies like Li Ji and Li Daozon.

As his orders were issued, Gao Yanshou's army began to move, with flags waving and soldiers quickly forming up and preparing to launch an attack.

"Your Highness, Gao Yanshou's army is approaching. I will lead a group of elite soldiers to support General Xue." Niu Dajin said worriedly. He looked at the dense enemy troops in the distance and felt a chill in his heart.

Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed forward like a tide, their footsteps seemed to shake the earth, making people feel panic. Everyone couldn't help but feel terrified, after all, facing such a large enemy force, everyone would be a little nervous.

However, Xue Rengui in the front seemed particularly calm. He stood in front of the army, looking at the enemy with a firm gaze. The soldiers behind him were also experienced warriors who had fought countless battles. They were not overwhelmed by this powerful momentum. On the contrary, they held their weapons tightly, with excitement on their faces, ready to meet the upcoming battle and kill the enemy.

At this moment, Xue Rengui suddenly raised the precious bow in his hand and aimed forward with focused eyes.

In an instant, he released the bowstring, and a sharp arrow flew out like lightning. The arrow drew an arc in the air and accurately hit an enemy general. The enemy general screamed, fell off his horse, and fell to the ground.

"Fight!" Xue Rengui shouted loudly, and his voice resounded through the battlefield like thunder.

His words inspired the morale of the Tang army, and they shouted in unison: "Fight!" The sound was deafening and the momentum was overwhelming.

Then Xue Rengui shot two more arrows, each of which hit the target accurately. The two enemy generals fell off their horses one after another and died tragically.

These three arrows not only shocked the enemy, but also brought the morale of the Tang army to its peak.

Seize the initiative.

"All the generals will kill the enemy!"

With this shout, the morale of the soldiers reached its peak again. Xue Rengui slapped his horse's belly hard and galloped out like an arrow from a bow.

The two armies collided in an instant, fighting fiercely. The Tang army was well-equipped, and this advantage was fully demonstrated at this moment. They quickly broke through the enemy's defense line and tore a hole in the enemy's army formation.

Xue Rengui led the way alone, his white clothes had long been stained with blood, but he still bravely moved forward. The soldiers behind him followed closely, fearless, and soon broke through the obstruction of the front army.

"Capture the enemy leader and establish the first merit!"

Xue Rengui pointed his spear at the central army tent. The Tang army was in high spirits and advanced bravely without any regard for defense. Even though they were surrounded, they were able to fight their way out.

"It's the general in white robe!"

Gao Yanshou's eyes were as sharp as needles. He recalled the battle at Zhui Mountain. It was also this white-robed general who rushed into the enemy's camp alone and disrupted the enemy's formation. Now he also attempted to seize the military flag and kill the general.

It is hard to imagine such a brave man, as if he were in an empty space among thousands of troops.

With the help of Xue Rengui's power, the soldiers of the Tang army became more motivated and followed him closely, killing their way towards the central army.

There is no strategy, only the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.

"Lord, retreat! The Tang army is unstoppable!"

Seeing that the intercepting soldiers were constantly defeated, Gao Huizhen began to want to retreat.

"You can't retreat. My Lord wants to see how the Tang army can break through my blockade."

Gao Yanshou could not retreat, as doing so would cause chaos in the army.

"The rear troops will move forward and set up horse traps to eat up this Tang army."

Gao Yanshou said angrily that he wanted to gather the strength of the entire army to annihilate Xue Rengui.

This white-robed general posed too great a threat to him.

The rear army advanced, and the front army provided support, completely surrounding the 3,000 soldiers led by Xue Rengui. No matter how brave Xue Rengui was, he was powerless to save the situation.
