The general of the Li family's army, headed by the surname Li, suddenly stopped, and a dignified expression flashed on his face.

The forest in front of him seemed a little weird, too quiet, which made him a little suspicious.

Could it be that there was an ambush ahead?

But the next second he dismissed the idea.

The fact that the Li family sent troops to Youzhou was a secret, and only a few people knew about it.

Not to mention where the army ambushed?

The main force of the Great Sui Dynasty was pinned down by various anti-kings, and it was the time when they were in trouble.

And the defenders on the Youzhou side are also restrained by the Turkic army. If the Youzhou defenders leave the city, Shibi Khan will definitely send someone to report.

What's more, this time he came with Li Yuan's death order.

If the marching time is delayed and Shibi Khan is angry and kills Li Jiancheng, his family will definitely be killed by Li Yuan!

At this point, the general surnamed Li no longer hesitated.

"Speed ​​up! Quickly pass through the mountains and forests here!"

He clapped his hands and continued to drive the horse forward.

"put!"

Just when the large army entered the ambush circle, Li Cunxiao shouted loudly through the mountains and forests.

The archers who were ready to go for a long time got the order and immediately started the room.

In an instant, the dense array of bows and arrows merged into a rain of arrows in the air, and the sound of breaking through the air could be heard endlessly.

"There is an ambush! Don't mess up!"

"Defense! Defense!"

The general surnamed Li responded very quickly, and immediately ordered his men to retreat to the rear, and at the same time organized forces to defend.

But the incident happened suddenly, only a small group of people in front of the main force reacted, and the large group in the rear was unexpected.

The people in front were retreating, and the people behind wanted to quickly pass through the valley, and the [*] army suddenly became a mess!

Arrow Rain's offensive was fleeting, and with the advantage of the terrain, the Li family army below became a living target.

After a round of salvo, about a thousand soldiers were shot into a hornet's nest by random arrows!

"Let it go!"

Li Cunxiao sneered, but did not mean to give up at all. Before the enemy could react, he organized the archers to launch a salvo again.

Under the orderly command, three salvos were launched.

Of course, in the next two rounds, the Li family army below reacted and effectively reduced the casualties, but the three rounds added up to the loss of nearly [*] people, and many more wounded.

One-fifth of the [*] army has gone!

"Soldiers! Kill me!"

After all, bows and arrows are limited, and there are no other large-scale equipment to assist here, so after the salvo, Li Cunxiao directly ordered the soldiers on both sides to attack as much as possible.

"kill--"

"kill--"

The voices of tens of thousands of soldiers merged into a torrent, echoing in this mountain forest, scaring away countless birds and beasts, and causing the two forces of the Li family below to fight!

The army of the Li family was ambushed and was caught by surprise. There was a problem with the military's heart... Now seeing the dense army of ambush charging from the highlands on both sides, the fighting spirit was weakened in an instant. a bit.

The general surnamed Li wanted to organize a large army to fight, but the spirit of the army was dissipated and he no longer had the will to fight.

One side has been waiting for a long time, and the other side is panicked and flees.

This is destined to be a one-sided massacre!

"It's over..."

When the general surnamed Li saw this scene, he felt powerless. After a sigh, the soldiers of Youzhou who were rushed to death were picked off from their horses, and then died under the chaos of the sword, turning into a lump of minced meat.

The battle came and went quickly, but after half an hour, the battle was over.

Ten thousand Li family were wiped out, not one left!

The corpses are densely piled up on this valley, which is daunting!

Of course, how can there be no casualties in a war?

Under the frantic counterattack of the Li family's army, Li Cunxiao's side also lost [*] soldiers, and the remaining soldiers were more or less injured.

After the war, Li Cunxiao then ordered the people below to clean the battlefield and rest on the spot in front of the forest behind.

When cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers under his command found a golden box beside the previous general surnamed Li.

Li Cunxiao saw a letter and a seal in it. The letter was written by Shibi Khan. It should be a personal letter from Li Yuan to Shibi Khan.

But the seal is very special, made of special materials, and the patterns and patterns of the scene are extremely rare. I think this is the token of the handover of the Li family in Taiyuan and the Turks.

In addition, dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, dozens of carts of food and grass, and even more than a dozen young and beautiful women were intercepted in this battle!

Perhaps it was a special gift that Li Yuan dedicated to Shibi Khan in order to save Li Jiancheng's life.

These things, Li Cunxiao sent people to move first and transport them to Youzhou City.

As for the brocade box containing the printed and handwritten letters, it was handed over to the person from Heibingtai, who was sent to Youzhou to be sent to Yang Yu to wait.

Shibi Khan outside the city of Youzhou and Li Yuan, who was far away in the Tang palace in Taiyuan, were completely unaware of the war that took place here. .

Chapter 172

Another half day passed in a hurry.

Youzhou, Jingbian Houfu.

"Master Hou, there is news from General Li Cunxiao."

Yang Yuzheng and Luo Yi were making final arrangements for the upcoming ambush in the secret room, when Commander Li suddenly appeared.

"how?"

Hearing this, Yang Yu stopped what he was doing and asked.

"Reporting to Marquis, General Li has already wiped out the enemy army! And our army's casualties are only one-fifth of Li's! If it weren't for the loss of physical strength along the way, the casualties could have been smaller."

Commander Li sorted out the news from his subordinates and organized the language.

"very good."

Yang Yu showed a smile.

Li Cunxiao deserves to be the number one warrior among the Thirteen Taibaos!

Such a record is enough to show his ability.

"Is it okay to tell you to do things well?"

After a pause, Yang Yu asked again.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Li family have been resolved. As long as you find out how the Turks and the Li family communicate with each other, the next step for the Turkic army will be launched immediately. 29

"Master Marquis, today's Turkic camp is extremely heavily guarded, and several waves of brothers sent out have returned without success."

"However, there is good news from General Li. When cleaning up the battlefield, a brocade box was seized, which contained a letter and a seal."

Commander Li was a little disappointed, but he still said the truth.

"Where's the stuff?"

Hearing this news, I intuitively told Yang Yu that letters and seals were the key to this time.

Under the gaze of the two, Commander Li took out the captured brocade box.

The letter and seal were kept intact inside.

"Master Hou, we have used special means to confirm that this letter is Li Yuan's handwritten letter without destroying the envelope."

"Although the specific meaning of this seal has not been deciphered, we guess that it should be used for the handover of the two forces."

After thinking for a while, Commander Li said again.

As a subordinate, I should share the worries of the master, so the people from the Black Ice Terrace confirmed the content of the letter in advance.

"You are doing well. But what else?"

Yang Yu nodded when he heard the words, and took the letter and the brocade box.

"Master Hou, General Li also seized dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry, dozens of carts of food and grass, and more than a dozen young and beautiful women. They are on the road now. What should I do?"

Hearing Yang Yu's question, Commander Li made another addition.

"Oh? It seems that Li Yuan's old thing takes Li Jiancheng's life very seriously."

Yang Yu was a little surprised.

Now all the anti-kings are recruiting soldiers and horses, and the money to be spent is an astonishing figure.

At this juncture, Li Yuan gave so many things to Shibi Khan, it can be said that he made a lot of money.

In addition, Shibi Khan was so cautious, he was worried that he could not find a suitable bait to lure him, and Li Yuan's move helped him a lot.

On the one hand, Shibi Khan was in urgent need of reinforcements to replenish his strength. After all, the Turkic army was not dominated by one family, and there were other tribes in it, and it was difficult for him to explain the loss of too many soldiers.

Although the [*]-strong army is not a lot, it can also restore a lot of strength.

On the one hand, this time, the East Turkic army has been besieged from the grasslands for many days, and the daily consumption of food and grass by the hundreds of thousands of troops is a huge number.After procrastinating outside the city of Youzhou for so long, the food and grass in the Turkic camp was already stretched.

The Turks were good at cavalry, and they demanded a quick decision in combat. They would supply food and forage wherever they hit. The logistical supply was the shortcoming. The food and forage sent by Li Yuan was what the Turkic army desperately needed.

As a result, it is impossible for Shibi Khan to not be moved by this bait!

"Humph! Then Li Yuan is really shameless! It's okay to admit that he is a counselor and give gifts. He even gave the women of my Da Sui family to those Turkic bastards!"

Hearing Li Yuan's list of gifts, Luo Yi was full of disgust.

It's not that Luo Yi is indignant, but the Turks are already notorious!
