In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

This will also be his last roar in this life.

"kill!!"

Guo Chao pointed his knife at the scene, causing an instant uproar.

"kill!!"

The Far East Army instantly erupted in battle cries.

The first wave arrived with a barrage of crossbow bolts, followed by the iron hooves of Far Eastern cavalry, renowned for their speed and ferocity.

Screams erupted instantly at the scene. The Tibetans were caught off guard and never expected Li Yuanchang to suddenly turn on them.

In war, it is customary not to kill envoys; this has been the practice throughout history and is generally followed by nomadic peoples. However, Li Yuanchang, the sixth son, did not follow this rule.

The warhorses neighed, and they realized what was happening. They tried to break through, but it was too late.

The vast Far Eastern army launched a siege, and every raised Tang sword displayed terrifying combat power, slicing through their throats and cutting down their warhorses.

These one hundred Tibetan barbarians fought like cornered beasts, and the scene was bloody.

Li Yuanchang did not turn around the entire time, his face expressionless, with only the screams of the Tibetans in his ears.

"Issue my military order: the army shall immediately enter Tuyuhun, and all units shall commence combat according to plan!"

"Within twenty-four hours, I will water my horses and wash my swords at the Gudu Ranch!"

"yes!!"

The roar was like thunder, and scouts ran to deliver the message.

With Li Yuanchang's order, the Tang Dynasty's military counterattack against Tibet officially began.

The first to be dispatched was the scout battalion, led by Liao Jie, which served as the "GPS" for the three armed forces throughout the entire operation.

The second group to set off was Xue Rengui's 8,000 cavalry, including 1,000 gunpowder handlers. As the main force, they set off first, their guns flashing like dragons, heading straight for the Gudu Ranch.

That place is the heart of the Hehuang Valley and the eastern gateway to the Tuyuhun Kingdom.

In order to win this first battle, Han Lei and his men alone carried 10,000 pills, enough for each Tibetan barbarian to have one.

With a terrifying stockpile of gunpowder, coupled with the elite cavalry led by Xue Rengui, they were virtually unmatched.

The third batch deployed consisted of reserves, led by the Yuan brothers from the Bingzi Battalion, primarily for support and to guard against unforeseen events.

The fourth batch dispatched consisted of 5,000 remnants of Murong Khan's Tuyuhun army. They were not a fighting force, but rather carried large amounts of provisions forward, serving as logistics personnel and battlefield cleanup crews.

The fifth and last batch to enter Tuyuhun was a rear guard of more than 10,000 men led by Li Yuanchang.

He left only 500 men to coordinate with Longxi Prefecture in the rear and to manage subsequent grain and fodder distribution, while the rest of his men rushed into Tuyuhun.

The Far Eastern Army demonstrated its exceptional mobility in this battle, with cavalrymen fighting lightly and infantrymen carrying heavy loads across the land, each fulfilling their specific roles, surpassing the capabilities of other armies of the time.

Xue Rengui's vanguard army crossed the entire Hehuang Valley in just eight hours.

Heading westward, they moved as if into an uninhabited land. Thanks to their excellent scout camp, they were like having GPS installed on their heads, cutting into the Gudu Ranch with a precise scalpel.

At this moment, the Tibetan military was completely unaware that the Far East Army would attack, let alone that they would enter without any warning.

It wasn't until the Far East Army's vanguard was only seven miles away that their rangers used smoke signals to warn of the approaching enemy.

At this point, the Tibetan cavalry had difficulty shaking off or retreating, so these barbarians from the plateau chose to fight!

In the second year of the Yonghui era, the Tang Dynasty's Far East cavalry and the Tibetan Empire's cavalry clashed in a true head-on confrontation deep in the Hehuang Valley.

"kill!!"

The deafening roar was overwhelming, eclipsing the sun and moon.

The earth trembled deep within, an earthquake caused by a massive army.

The terrifying cavalry charged forward relentlessly, two dark torrents approaching at high speed, their powerful inertia and impact capable of instantly sending blood mist flying through the air.

From the air, it was an epic clash of cavalry.

boom!

Boom!

It was as if something had exploded on the ground, the sound waves were terrifying.

The two mudslides collided, warhorses neighed and soldiers screamed, and the first and second rank soldiers were almost entirely overturned.

This moment is the ultimate test for cavalry.

Courage, horsemanship, and combat prowess are all indispensable.

The Far East Army has encountered its strongest opponent since several reorganizations, the strongest one it had ever faced before being the 200,000-strong army led by Li Ji.

But that large army was also engaged in offensive and defensive warfare, not a direct confrontation in the open field.

In this first clash, even the Far Eastern Army failed to break through the enemy lines.

Instead, both cars were directly smashed to the ground, lying in a row like a landslide, with dust and smoke billowing everywhere, which was extremely terrifying.

After the impact ended, a chaotic battle ensued.

"kill!!"

Roars and curses converged, filled with savagery and primal force; it was a fight to the death!

Long spears and curved swords clashed, and whoever chickened out lost.

Xue Rengui, clad in gleaming silver armor like a divine general of his time, charged to the forefront wielding his halberd, sending the Tibetans flying in disarray. With a single strike of his halberd, an enemy's head flew off along with his helmet.

The headless corpse crashed to the ground and was then trampled by the dense crowd.

This scene seemed like a cycle of fate.

Before him stood an extremely fierce Tibetan cavalry force, their banners fluttering overhead, and behind him was the Far East Army.

Although Li Yuanchang changed too much of history, the wheels of history still rolled on, and Xue Rengui still stepped onto this battlefield, still facing his lifelong enemy, the Tubo.

His fierce fighting attracted the attention of the Tibetan barbarians, who launched a massive cavalry charge, aiming to kill the general and seize the flag.

It must be said that the Tibetans were indeed fierce, terrifying, and fearless. In the high-altitude terrain, even the Tang Dynasty's border army could not win.

The Far Eastern Army also found it difficult to gain an advantage on the main battlefield unless its tactical formations and strategies succeeded.

But when the series of explosions began, everything changed.

Countless Tibetans were reduced to blood rain, and even their warhorses were blown to pieces. Beneath the dust, thick smoke filled the air, along with the shattered corpses and the screams of the Tibetans.

"what!"

"ah!!"

The Tibetan army was thrown into chaos instantly.

Believers in deities, these people from the plateau, like some nomadic tribes, have a natural reverence for thunder. When the thunder roared continuously, they didn't know what it was, and upon first encountering it, they were immediately overwhelmed.

"Kill!!" Xue Rengui roared, seizing the opportunity to lead his troops in a charge. He used his halberd to lift up a Tibetan general and throw him into the air.

"Kill them!"

The vanguard of the Far East Army pressed forward with renewed vigor.

boom!

Click...

Puff puff puff... The horses trampled through the enemy camps, leaving a trail of blood and flesh in their wake. Taking advantage of Han Lei's intimidation and killing power, they broke the stalemate in the melee and broke through the impregnable lines of the Tibetan cavalry in one fell swoop.

The original cavalry stronghold was now breached, and the breach kept getting bigger!

boom! !

Just as the fierce barbarians were about to launch their attack, they were met with Han Lei's bombardment.

"what!"

The screams of agony rose and fell as the Tibetan cavalry suffered a crushing defeat, their defeat rapidly turning into a visible retreat.
