Xue Wanche held his head high and his chest out. His face was full of solemnity, but deep in his eyes, there was a strong sense of pride. Because in this battle, he would definitely be able to kill Liu Heita in one battle, take revenge and wipe out hatred, and then make a name for himself. Henceforth, he would set foot on the pinnacle of life.
This was his chance.
Xue Wanche and his elder brother Xue Wanjun each sought refuge with one person.
Xue Wanche did not approve of his elder brother Xue Wanjun's arrangement at all. Because in Xue Wanche's view, Li Jiancheng was the crown prince, the heir apparent of the country, an existence who would inherit the throne in the future. Not to mention that the emperor also favored the crown prince.
Therefore, Xue Wanche believed that the crown prince inheriting the throne was a matter of certainty.
Unfortunately, his elder brother did not approve.
He would follow the Qin King no matter what.
Today, he wanted to prove to his elder brother that his choice was correct, and the wisest choice.
Xue Wanche shook the lance in his hand and shouted, "Liu Heita, get down from your horse and be bound immediately. This general will spare your dog life. If you want to resist stubbornly, the place where the three rivers converge will be your burial ground. "
"Hahaha …"
Liu Heita's curly beard under his chin laughed wildly without end.
His laughter was full of disdain.
There was also endless disdain.
Xue Wanche said coldly, "Death is at hand, and you still have the mood to laugh. Liu Heita, it seems that you are really hopeless. Wait until this general takes you down. I will make you regret your current savagery, and make you regret your past. "
Liu Heita said, "Past? What did this king do to make you hate me so much? "
Hearing Liu Heita's words, Xue Wanche was immediately enraged. He gritted his teeth and said, "Back then, we were …"
When the words reached his mouth, Xue Wanche immediately shut his mouth.
These words would affect the army's morale.
This was Liu Heita's scheme.
Xue Wanche snorted and said, "Liu Heita, let's not talk about the past. In short, I will make you regret it. "
Liu Heita sneered twice and said, "Xue Wanche, why didn't you say what you said before? Go on! You should clearly tell your soldiers that you, Xue Wanche, were once this King's captive. You, Xue Wanche, were once humiliated by this King by cutting off your hair. You, Xue Wanche, lost all face. Why didn't you say these in detail? "
"Liu Heita, you deserve to die!"
"Kill!"
Xue Wanche was immediately enraged.
He gave the order directly.
Thirty thousand elites quickly launched an attack and rushed towards Liu Heita's army. The attack of these thirty thousand soldiers was mighty and incomparably turbulent. They vowed to take down Liu Heita.
Liu Heita sneered when he saw the people coming. With a wave of his hand, the army under his command charged forward. The true elites under Liu Heita's command were, in fact, no more than twenty thousand people.
Even so, his combat power was still very strong.
Liu Heita's twenty thousand elite troops had already brazenly charged forward.
Both sides were elites.
All of them had extremely strong combat strength.
Therefore, even though the number of people under Liu Heita's command was smaller, in fact, in a short period of fighting, it was not obvious that he would lose. It would take a certain amount of time to determine the outcome of such a battle.
Unfortunately, Liu Heita would not give Xue Wanche the chance. Liu Heita watched the development of the situation. After fighting for about a quarter of an hour, the two sides were in a mess, and the rear of the Tang army was completely exposed.
Liu Heita decisively ordered, "Blow the bugle horn, let Zhi Shili send out the troops."
"Yes!"
The messenger immediately gave the order.
"Woo! Woo!! "
The sound of the bugle horn rang out. This powerful and low sound of the bugle horn reverberated in the sky. After the sound spread out, not long after, a cavalry unit suddenly charged out from behind Xue Wanche.
This cavalry unit had a total of four thousand people.
Four thousand Turkic cavalry, majestically charging forward.
Shouts and battle cries rose and fell.
Especially the galloping of the four thousand war horses, majestic and unparalleled. Under such a situation, even if Xue Wanche was sitting at the rear, commanding the troops to attack, he could feel the tremors of the ground, making his heart tremble.
Xue Wanche's heart trembled.
What was going on?
When Xue Wanche turned his head to look, he discovered that it was the Turkic cavalry charging from behind. In an instant, Xue Wanche's expression greatly changed.
It was the Turkic cavalry.
Liu Heita had colluded with the Turkic people.
Xue Wanche looked at Liu Heita's army in front of him and then looked at the cavalry charging from behind. With his current military strength, he had the upper hand. As long as he could resist the attack of the Turkic cavalry, then he still had a chance to kill Liu Heita.
Xue Wanche ordered, "Feng Yousan!"
"Present!"
Feng Yousan immediately replied.
He was a general in the army and belonged to the Crown Prince's faction. He was even more convinced by Xue Wanche.
After all, when Xue Wanche was under Li Jiancheng's command, he had fought against all the generals under Xue Wanche's command. No one could stop Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche ordered, "Feng Yousan, immediately mobilize five thousand soldiers. Block the Turkic cavalry at the rear. No matter what, we have to hold them back. "
"Yes!"
Feng Yousan clasped his fist and replied.
He naturally knew that it was not easy to block the attack of the cavalry. But on the battlefield, no matter whether he could win or not, he had to go.
Feng Yousan quickly mobilized his troops. Soon, they had arrived at the rear.
Five thousand soldiers and horses were in formation.
At the front were the shield-wielding soldiers. Each of them raised their shields and gritted their teeth to hold the shields.
Behind the shields were the spear-wielding soldiers. Each of the soldiers placed their spears on their shields. As long as the cavalry charged, they would use their shields to defend and their spears to kill the enemy.
"Rumble!"
The hurried sound of horse hooves continued to ring out.
The four thousand Turkic cavalry arrived in the blink of an eye.
When the cavalry met the shields and spears, the fighting on the battlefield became even more intense. Spears stabbed out one after another, either into the bodies of the warhorses or the Turkic cavalry. In a short period of time, many were killed or injured.
In the blink of an eye, more and more cavalrymen came charging over. The shield-wielding soldiers were caught off guard. When the warhorses stepped on the shields, the shields collapsed and the soldiers holding them were crushed.
Even though there were spear-wielding soldiers at the rear, when the cavalry charged, several soldiers were sent flying while the cavalry slashed down with their sabers. Wherever the sabers passed, the spear-wielding soldiers were killed. In a short period of time, the casualties were innumerable.
After the infantry was broken through, even though Feng Yousan had ordered them to resist to the death, they could not stop the cavalry. More and more Turkic cavalry charged into the crowd and wantonly slaughtered.
The Tang soldiers quickly panicked.
The situation became chaotic.
Feng Yousan could not withstand the pressure and quickly fled, not daring to delay or stay any longer. Feng Yousan ran to Xue Wanche's side and shouted, "General, we can't hold on any longer. Our men can't withstand this attack. The Turkic cavalry has cut off our rear and is already here. "
Xue Wanche's expression changed again and again.
He did not expect that it would be like this, especially when the army on Liu Heita's side was surging. Liu Heita kept shouting for reinforcements to come. The morale of the soldiers in the army was high and their killing power was multiplied.
The morale of the Tang army began to fall from the morning to the beginning of the ambush. At first, the soldiers thought that they were here to kill them. But now, they found that they had been set up.
They were all tired of resisting and had no fighting power.
"Retreat, we will break out from the left side and retreat!"
Seeing this, Xue Wanche immediately ordered. Because there was no way to retreat in the current situation, they could only break out from the left side and try to go around the rear and then quickly return to Mingshui County.
Only then would they have the chance to escape.
After Xue Wanche's order was given, the soldiers quickly turned around and left the battlefield, no longer fighting.
