Xue Rengui was commanding from the top of Changbai Slope. He was still holding a telescope, carefully observing the situation on the battlefield. Today, the elephant soldiers had entered the back of the Tang army and were fighting with them. Mordor was also leading the troops to charge and kill, continuously killing the Tang army. Although Xia Xia's side had fewer troops, their aura was strong and not weaker than the Tang army.
In terms of morale, Xia Xia's side was slightly better. Even if the Tang army continued to attack, their attacks were blocked and were unable to break through the defensive line of Changbai Slope.
This battle was still going on.
Xue Rengui looked at Du Qi and cupped his fists, "Your majesty, at this stage, there is no need for me to command. Now, it is just a pure killing, let's see which side wins first. I request to join the battle. "
"Approved!"
Du Qi nodded his head in reply.
Xue Rengui raised his spear and charged out on his horse.
Under the galloping of the war horse, he went around the moat and quickly entered the battlefield. His spear was either stabbing, sweeping, or chopping, killing one Tang soldier after another.
By Xue Rengui's side, an army gradually formed, forming a tyrannical fighting force.
Even with Xue Rengui and Mordor leading the troops, there were numerous Tang soldiers fighting on the entire Changbai Slope. In a short time, Xia Xia's side would not be able to obtain victory.
The killing of both sides continued on.
It was hard to tell who would win.
The Tang army side was a bunch of mourning soldiers. First, Zhangsun Wuji died, and then Li Yuan died. Li Shimin used these two matters to encourage all the soldiers to charge and take revenge. At the same time, he wanted to take revenge for the soldiers that died. Hence, even if the Tang army side faced the strongest resistance, they did not retreat at all, stubbornly fighting.
The battle was still going on.
This killing continued from the morning, and even after noon, it was still killing.
The blazing sun shone, and steam rose.
On the entire Changbai Slope, there were numerous corpses that fell, and there were also numerous people that were still fighting. Even though the two sides were already exhausted from the battle, they did not stop.
The slaughter continued.
Even though the sun was hanging high in the sky, it was not as hot as it was in the afternoon. Especially at the end of July, there was a cool breeze in the evening.
A cool breeze blew over, making people feel refreshed. As for the two sides that were fighting, they did not stop. Instead, they continued to attack one another. Du Qi's side did not defend at all, and instead attacked from all sides. The Tang army did not retreat and swore to attack.
Blood flowed like a river.
Corpses were everywhere.
Far to the west of the Changbai Slope, Li Shimin was sitting astride a horse. Beside him were Wei Zheng, Yu Shinan, Tang Jian, and other civil officials. In addition, there were also several thousand black-armored elite cavalry.
This was Li Shimin's final strength.
Although Li Shimin avoided it, because the elephant soldiers had completely intervened, Li Shimin closed the distance and could see the situation on the Changbai Slope from afar. Seeing that the two sides were still fighting, and that there was no clear winner for the time being, Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister Wei, if I send the black-armored elite cavalry into the battlefield now, can we defeat Du Qi's Ah Jun in one go?"
"Impossible!"
Wei Zheng shook his head decisively and answered.
Li Shimin asked, "Why?"
Wei Zheng said, "Your Majesty, Du Qi's troops were not all sent. From the beginning to the end, there were not many of Xia Xia's cavalry involved in the battlefield. In addition, Du Qi's troops were not all involved in the battle. Your Majesty should know that Xiao Yuanqi's troops came to Jiuquan County. This army is Du Qi's trump card. "
Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened.
The situation was not good!
Only the black-armored elite cavalry was left under his command, but Du Qi still had troops. If Du Qi had done everything he could, then the black-armored elite cavalry's participation in the battle could be the end of this war.
Li Shimin's mind turned quickly. He said in a deep voice, "Whether Xiao Yuanqi's troops are all here or not is unknown. It's impossible to stop attacking just because Xiao Yuanqi may be here. Pass down the order, transfer 3,000 black-armored elite cavalry to join the battle, and the rest will continue to guard around. "
Wei Zheng said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The black-armored elite cavalry could be arranged to join the battle, but Li Shimin must be protected by the army.
He could not be alone.
The messenger went to pass down the order. In the blink of an eye, 3,000 black-armored elite cavalry rushed out and rushed to the battlefield on the Changbai Slope. Li Shimin looked at the cavalry leaving quickly, with a touch of expectation on his face.
While Li Shimin was looking forward to it, a soldier suddenly ran back and shouted, "Your Majesty, it's not good. General Cheng Yaojin died on the battlefield. "
Li Shimin looked sad after hearing it.
Another one died.
Until now, he was still a bit numb, because too many soldiers under his command had died. First Qin Qiong, Li Ji, then Zhangsun Wuji, Li Yuan, and now Cheng Yaojin. Li Shimin did not know when he would die, so when he heard Cheng Yaojin died in battle, he did not have any emotional fluctuations, but was very sad.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and the soldier retreated. He looked at the Changbai Slope again, looking at the direction of Du Qi at the top of the mountain, and clenched his fist. Because in this battle, he had sacrificed too much. He must win!
As long as he won this battle, even if Li Shimin's troops were exhausted, and he could not fight anymore, and could not kill his way into Xia Xia, for Li Shimin, it would buy him a lot of time.
The 3,000 black-armored elite cavalry had not really entered the battlefield, but Du Qi had already seen it through his binoculars. He immediately gave the order first, transferring the scattered elephant army on the slope to turn around and meet the enemy head-on.
The black-armored elite cavalry charged over, fast and strong. But the elephants were huge, and they were also very aggressive. Even if the hastily gathered elephants could not defeat the black-armored elite cavalry, for Du Qi, as long as the elephant soldiers could stop the black-armored elite cavalry's attack, it was enough.
The rumbling sound of horse hooves came quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the 3,000 black-armored elite cavalry had entered the battlefield and had already charged to the bottom of the Changbai Slope, about to enter the battlefield. But the elephants charged over and soon fought with the black-armored elite cavalry.
The cavalry was fierce, but the elephant soldiers were as immovable as mountains. Even when the elephants charged forward, the black-armored elite cavalry's attack was scattered.
The originally aggressive black-armored elite cavalry's attack was weakened. Even if they entered the battlefield, they were no longer as orderly as before, and they no longer had the momentum they had at the beginning.
At this time, the elephant soldiers kept gathering and attacking the black-armored elite cavalry. Under such an adjustment, Li Shimin's black-armored elite cavalry did not play the role of the final blow, and only delayed the elephant soldiers.
Xia Xia and the Tang dynasty's soldiers were still fighting.
Both sides were still fighting fiercely.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening. The sun set and the moon rose, and night fell. Torches burned on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain, dispelling the darkness.
The battle was still going on.
The forces of the two countries had reached the final juncture.
Because both sides were exhausted.
On the hillside, Du Qi was still guarding and did not leave. He looked at the two sides fighting around the mountain, and then at Li Jing, and said in a deep voice, "Medicine Master, both our forces and the Tang army's forces are exhausted. There is still a group of cavalry beside Li Shimin. But I think that we have the opportunity to sweep the Tang army in one go. Although we have suffered many losses in this battle, at least we should have won this battle. Now, we can send soldiers to defeat the enemy. "
Li Jing's eyes were sharp as he said, "Your Majesty, it's time to end this battle. But I did not expect that the Tang soldiers under Li Shimin's command were so brave and good at fighting, and were not afraid of death. Under normal circumstances, they would have collapsed long ago after fighting for so long. But from the beginning to the end, they never retreated. This group of Tang soldiers is really brave. "
Du Qi said, "This is the Tang dynasty. Although they have suffered many losses, in fact, their foundation is still there. Especially in the battle on the battlefield, such as Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and some other Tang generals, all of them are not afraid of death, and all of them are fighting to the death. So from the beginning to the end, the Tang army has never been defeated. "
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yuanqi and ordered the whole army to attack.
Xiao Yuanqi suddenly became excited.
Here it comes!
Finally, it was his turn to fight.
