The next day, early morning.
After Du Qi woke up, he simply washed up and had breakfast with Zhangsun Shunde. The two of them went to the King's tent to ask Xieli for permission to leave. Xieli and Du Qi's group had reached an agreement and naturally allowed the other party to leave.
Although Xieli and his subordinates had discussed and decided on the plan to attack Yanmen, they could not detain Du Qi, Zhangsun Shunde and the rest. Because if Du Qi and the rest were allowed to go back, the Turks and the Tang dynasty would have room for reconciliation.
If they attacked the Tang dynasty, then so be it.
It was normal for there to be friction.
But if they killed the envoy of the Tang dynasty, the situation would be different. Therefore, not only did Xieli let Du Qi and the rest leave, he also personally escorted them for some distance and even gave them some furs, cattle and sheep.
After Du Qi and the rest left the King's tent, they sped up their journey.
Especially when Du Qi was hurrying, he had arranged for someone to send a message to the black armored elite cavalry who had been secretly following outside, asking Jiang Quansheng to lead the black armored elite cavalry to be on guard and prepare for battle.
Du Qi thought that Yang Li's people might attack. But in a short time, Du Qi's worry was unnecessary. They did not encounter any attack near the Tujue King's tent for the time being.
The group went all the way south and was already close to Mayi. At this time, the Tujue's power at the border of Mayi was weak and the number of sentries was much less. Du Qi was cautious and did not let his guard down. Instead, he asked the people accompanying him to be careful.
The group hurried on. When they reached the border of Mayi, suddenly, on the official road ahead, there was a rumbling sound of horse hooves. That deafening sound reverberated on the earth, coming from afar to near.
"Report!"
At this time, another scout galloped back.
The scout quickly came to Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde's side and reported, "General, the other party's group had been hiding and did not come out before, we did not discover them. When we discovered them, it was already too late. The other party has more than 300 cavalries and 1000 infantrymen. Now, these 1000 people are already rushing toward us in a mighty manner. They are very close. "
Zhangsun Shunde said, "I can see it now."
Not far away, there was already a majestic group of warhorses galloping over, with infantry following closely behind.
"Get into formation!"
Zhangsun Shunde immediately ordered.
Close to a hundred heavy-armored cavalrymen had already formed a square formation, protecting Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde within. Although there were only a hundred heavy-armored cavalrymen, these hundred heavy-armored soldiers would be able to hold on for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, more than one thousand three hundred soldiers had charged forward and surrounded Du Qi's group. The corners of Yang Shanjing's mouth curled up in a complacent smile. Clad in armor, he spurred his horse out.
His gaze swept across the surroundings before finally landing on Zhangsun Shunde, Du Qi, and the others. He said coldly, "Du Qi, Zhangsun Shunde, none of you will be able to escape today."
Du Qi asked, "You are?"
Yang Shanjing had brought an army of more than a thousand men this time, and their fighting power was extremely strong. He did not believe that Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde could escape, so he said, "I am Yang Shanjing, Princess Yicheng's younger brother. Today, I am here on my sister's orders to send you off. Today, you will die without a doubt. "
Du Qi chuckled. "Yang Shanjing, is it? You are a man, yet you cannot establish yourself in the Great Sui, so you fled to the Turks and relied on your sister's protection to survive. How shameful!
"Speaking of which, your sister's life has not been easy either. In the Turks, she has served Qimin Khagan, Shibi Khagan, Chuluo Khagan, and Xieli Khagan. Think about it, she is being trampled on by these people every day. What kind of mentality do you have?
"As a relative, you can only watch as your sister is constantly in a pit of fire!
"Your heart is truly cold."
Du Qi said, "If it were me, I would definitely think of a way to save my sister from this pit of fire. Unfortunately, you are eating and drinking well in the Turks, living leisurely and carefree lives. How about it? Relying on your sister's protection, you are used to bowing and scraping in the Turks. "
Yang Shanjing's expression immediately turned cold.
Du Qi's mouth was too hateful.
That one sentence directly pierced his heart, causing him to immediately become furious.
Yang Shanjing gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, I will definitely make you beg for death. I will definitely let you taste the most painful things in the world. At that time, you will definitely regret what you said. "
Du Qi said, "I will wait and see!"
"Kill!"
Yang Shanjing gritted his teeth and waved his hand.
Following Yang Shanjing's order, the cavalry and infantry under his command worked together and launched a fierce attack. However, the fierce attack was blocked by the heavy cavalry. For the time being, Yang Shanjing's soldiers were unable to break through the heavy cavalry's defense.
For a time, the defense was still tight.
Mordor followed beside Du Qi, in charge of Du Qi's safety. He held the long iron staff and said, "Young Master, I will go out immediately and kill that Yang Jishan. As long as Yang Jishan is dead, the attack of more than a thousand people will be stopped. "
"No!"
Du Qi heard this and shook his head.
He said in a deep voice, "In the current situation, it is not suitable for you to go out and kill the generals and capture the flag. The other side has many people. If you go out, you will definitely be surrounded. Therefore, it is useless for you to go out alone. Instead, you will be easily restrained. Rather than that, it is better to stay in the formation. Watch carefully. If there is a problem on one side, you will help block it. Understand? "
"Understood!"
Mordor nodded and replied.
For Mordor, he was now in the formation and could rush to the rescue at any time.
The battle between the two sides continued.
Spears stabbed out one after another, the tips of the spears stabbing into the bodies of the soldiers brought by Yang Jishan. For a time, people were killed one after another. However, even if people were stabbed to death by the spears, more people would continue to charge forward.
There were even cavalrymen who charged fiercely.
Although the heavy-armored cavalrymen were injured, their defense was still impenetrable. In particular, Mordor could rush to the rescue at any time. Therefore, the situation could be stabilized for a short time.
However, as time passed, more and more heavy-armored cavalrymen died, and the strength of the defense was constantly weakened.
Zhangsun Shunde took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, "Erlang, you have arranged everything. But now, we are about to be in danger. Under such circumstances, our defense will be broken in half an hour at most. "
"It is unbreakable!"
Du Qi shook his head calmly.
Du Qi believed in his own judgment. In particular, Yang Jishan's troops had also suffered losses. Therefore, under such circumstances, although Yang Jishan's attacks were fierce, they were not as powerful as before.
Yang Jishan saw this and was extremely excited.
The opportunity had come!
He was about to kill Du Qi.
"Kill, kill for me!"
Yang Jishan ordered loudly. He was already excited, and his fighting spirit was soaring. Following Yang Jishan's order, countless soldiers charged forward one after another.
Under such a fierce attack, Du Qi and the others' defense was already under great pressure. Du Qi saw all this and frowned. Calculating the time, the dark-armored cavalrymen sent by Li Shimin should have arrived.
"Kill, kill for me!"
Seeing that the defense was about to be broken, Yang Jishan was already looking forward to it.
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard.
The sound of horse hooves came from not far away. The sound was hurried and as fast as thunder. In particular, the continuous sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder on the ground. In the next moment, a torrent of steel appeared on the official road and headed straight for Yang Jishan's army.
The people who came were the dark-armored cavalrymen.
A hundred dark-armored cavalrymen were all veteran elites on the battlefield and were extremely lethal.
The person in the lead was Jiang Quansheng.
Jiang Quansheng took the lead. He raised the war saber in his hand and shouted, "Kill!"
He led the cavalrymen and charged quickly.
In a short time, they had already cut into Yang Jishan's army and killed their way in. The existence of a hundred dark-armored cavalrymen was like a sharp knife that pierced into the enemy's heart. They quickly charged back and forth and stirred up the enemy.
In just one encounter, they resolved the crisis of Du Qi and the others and shared the pressure. However, after the appearance of the hundred dark-armored cavalrymen, Yang Jishan also mobilized the three hundred cavalrymen under his command to block the attack. Then, he attacked Du Qi and the others with all his strength.
Seeing this, Jiang Quansheng could only move closer to Du Qi. He had to protect Du Qi first.
Seeing Jiang Quansheng move closer, Zhangsun Shunde said, "Erlang, even if Jiang Quansheng's dark-armored cavalrymen are here. However, I'm afraid that our safety may not be guaranteed! You said that you informed Gao Manzheng of Mayi. When will he come? "
