Great Tang princess

Chapter 259 An Unforgettable Picture in a Lifetime
In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuechen yawned and walked up to the high platform. Although she didn't sleep well last night, she was in good health and would be fine for a few days.

The main reason was to guard against whether the Turks would attack the barracks at night, so last night Li Yuechen and the people from the reconnaissance battalion switched shifts and stared at each other all night.

However, the other party also seemed to know that they were very vigilant here. In addition, they attacked the grain truck a few days ago and were killed back, so they did not attack the barracks at night last night.

When they came to the podium, Pei Xingjian, Cheng Wuting and others saluted one after another, and Li Yuechen also nodded in greeting.

"Your Highness, I just received the news that the Turkic army is five miles away, but it seems that the decisive battle will be delayed until the afternoon." Pei Xingjian reported.

Li Yuechen nodded: "That's just right, warm up in the morning, have a good meal at noon, and have a decisive battle in the afternoon."

Anyway, in this war, Li Yuechen's plan is to fight only once, to subdue them once, so that they will not dare to plot against Datang again in the next few hundred years.

In the future, you can consider developing the wool trade, and then completely incorporate the Turks into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In the morning, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion also came back one after another, and replaced the scouts with ordinary scouts.

In this battle plan, they are a very important part, so Li Yuechen recalled them in advance.

On the podium, Li Yuechen was announcing the battle plan: "The two commanders told the soldiers that there will be a violent explosion in the enemy's formation, so don't panic..."

Cheng Wuting and Li Wenhao looked at each other, feeling very puzzled.

Li Yuechen roughly explained: "I brought a brand new weapon this time, so I won't explain the principle first. It always makes an explosion in the enemy's formation, like a thunderbolt. When the time comes..."

Listening to her explanation, both of them nodded in bewilderment, but they didn't know what was going on, but they didn't know what to say.

Anyway, now that Li Yuechen is the commander of the army, she can do whatever she wants. When the time comes, it will be the princess' responsibility if anything happens, and it has nothing to do with them.

Then Li Yuechen turned his head and gave orders to Geng Yunqiang and Niu Ermao: "At that time, you two will lead fifteen squads on both sides of the army. After I give the order, there will be two salvos. You estimate the distance yourself. If you can directly hit the middle of the enemy formation, don't let it go..."

Geng Yunqiang was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, we brought [-] grenades this time, and only [-] of them were fired in two salvos. Why don't we have a few more rounds?"

Good guy, you've realized the benefits of washing the ground with cannon fire so quickly, right?Li Yuechen made a secret complaint.

"Are you going to use up everything you bring? Shouldn't you keep some spares?" She turned her head and taught a lesson.

Geng Yunqiang quickly nodded in agreement, and stopped talking.

"Anyway, remember, after the two rounds of volleys, you should retreat immediately. The charge has nothing to do with you. Remember to wear your shields and don't get hurt by the arrows..." Li Yuechen told them.

"Don't worry, Your Highness! The order is guaranteed to be delivered in place!" Geng Yunqiang agreed.

Li Yuechen nodded, and then began to think about how to fight the battle in the afternoon.

It's easy to say earlier, if the opponent charges, first fire two rounds of grenade volleys, and then go up and harvest by yourself.

But the problem is that once the opponent escapes, it will be difficult for him to catch up.

But if you think about it carefully, after two rounds of grenades, there will be a lot of talk about whether the opponent has a chance to escape. After all, when the time comes, I will also rush over, and I will definitely be able to stick to them.

……

The whole morning passed quickly. After eating at noon, the soldiers finished their rest, and the infantry phalanx followed the cavalry neatly, looking at the Turkic cavalry that had appeared in sight from a distance.

They didn't have a complete team, just a group of black cavalry, gradually pressing towards this side.

Just when the two sides were still 700 meters away, the opponent's black cavalry suddenly stopped, and two people ran over alone.

The command platform was at the end of the main force, and the distance was a bit too far. Li Yuechen picked up the binoculars with some doubts, not knowing what the other party meant.

Is it time to stop fighting?Of course it's best not to fight, and there is no need to kill people, but the problem is that if you don't fight, you don't fight. Where can I put the face of Datang?
While Li Yuechen was thinking wildly, the two people who came across stopped in front of the army.

Both of them are Turkic people, one of them is wearing a normal Turkic dress, while the other is wearing a sleeveless sheepskin vest.

The neckline of this vest is very low, and the dark chest hair can be seen.The two arms exposed to the air are also muscular beards, which look extremely oppressive.

His arms are extremely thick, almost thicker than many women's thighs.And even though he was riding on a horse, it could be seen that this person was not short.

The other party yelled in Turkic, and then the person next to him translated for him: "I heard that Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty claimed to be the number one in the world, and I am the number one warrior in the grassland. I am here to challenge!"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the vanguard officer immediately sent a soldier to run back to the rear, and conveyed the other party's words to the command platform.

Hearing what the other person said, Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows.

At first I thought it was the end of the fight, but I didn't expect it was to fight generals.

In this day and age, it is not uncommon to see battle generals in front of the battle, but these are generally the tasks of mid- and low-level officers like vanguard officers, and the senior generals in charge of command generally do not participate in this kind of thing.

But what I have to admit is that the generals in front of the battle will have a great impact on the morale of their side, no matter whether they win or lose.

Hearing the soldier's message, Wang Xiaojie, who came to watch the battle together this time, raised his hand and slapped it on the table: "Hmph, if you want to challenge His Highness, you have to see if you are qualified! Wang will meet him first!"

"Hey, forget it." Li Yuechen waved his hand, "It's agreed this time that you are here to watch the battle, so don't let this kind of excitement happen."

Pei Xingjian next to him also nodded: "Since the other party is the number one warrior in the grassland, he is indeed qualified to directly challenge His Highness. If they go up one by one, we will be invincible."

Because of the age, the generals of this era did not reject this kind of thing. Instead, they felt that they must fight if they can fight, which can be regarded as increasing morale on their side.

Even Pei Xingjian thought so, but considering Li Yuechen's special status after all, he turned his head and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Wang Xiaojie next to him laughed when he heard this, squinted his eyes and looked towards the front of the formation, looking at the number one warrior in the grassland from a distance, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Li Yuechen felt that it didn't matter, so he just fought. If he could hit the opponent's morale, he might save a few soldiers from dying on his side.

So he stood up immediately: "I'll go."

As he said that, he was about to walk directly to the front of the battle without even wearing a helmet.

It's not arrogance, but she has seen through the binoculars just now that the other party has no bow and arrow, only a spear.Then she is not afraid of the other party's sneak attack, so naturally she doesn't need to wear a helmet.

Fulai walked over two steps and asked, "Your Highness, do you want a halberd or a hammer?"

"never mind……"

Li Yuechen waved his hand, but he didn't hold any weapon. It looked like he planned to fight the enemy empty-handed.

The reason for doing this is very simple, she just wants to kill the No. [-] Warrior in the Grassland with crushing power in full view, and the opponent's morale will definitely drop by then.

At that time, in order to prevent the morale of the army from being affected, the opponent's generals will inevitably launch a charge at the fastest speed... Then it will be in Li Yuechen's arms.

The simple way, of course, is to deal with the enemy's spears with bare hands, which will have a huge impact on the morale of the troops on both sides.

Seeing that Li Yuechen was going to fight the enemy with bare hands, neither Wang Xiaojie nor Fu Lai had any special expressions.

The two of them had witnessed the princess's battle with Tubo the year before last, and they had full confidence in her.

But Pei Xingjian couldn't help swallowing, and couldn't help being a little worried: "Although His Highness is powerful, but after all, it's unarmed... This..."

Li Yuechen waved his hands without looking back as he walked forward: "Don't worry, Pei Shangshu, don't look at the other party's tall and strong, he can't stand the slap of this palace at all..."

Seeing how confident she was, Pei Xingjian didn't stop her from looking at Wang Xiaojie and Fulai who were calmly beside her.

After all, of these two people, one has joined the princess's army, and the other is the princess's personal eunuch, so they must know her much better than themselves.

……

Li Yuechen walked through the soldiers' formation all the way, and came to the front of the formation under their adoring and expectant eyes, only about ten meters away from the opponent.

At this distance, he could clearly see the tattoo of a wolf's head on the opponent's arm.

It's a pity, if it's a pack of wolves, my mother would be afraid, but if there's only one... Li Yuechen murmured to himself.

The other party said something, and the translator next to him yelled: "His Royal Highness came here empty-handed, and she didn't ride a horse. Could it be that she looks down on the number one warrior in the grassland?"

"If you want to make me look good, at least show off your skills first!" Li Yuechen replied, then raised his hand and hooked his fingers, "Hurry up if you want to hit, don't delay."

After the translator conveyed Li Yuechen's words in Turkic, the man's expression became obviously very angry, and then without saying a word, he swayed the rein and galloped towards Li Yuechen.

The distance between the two sides is only about ten meters. For the horses, it is almost a blink of an eye.

This person obviously wouldn't accept Li Yuechen mercilessly just because she was a beautiful woman. After all, the armor on Li Yuechen could already explain her strength to a certain extent.

So when he came close, he roared and stabbed the spear in his hand at Li Yuechen's chest.

Facing the tall horse rushing towards him, Li Yuechen did not dodge or dodge. He just raised his left arm, and the spear collided with the armor on his arm, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

But at the same time, the stab's trajectory was completely deflected, passing by her side.

Then around Li Yuechen's arm, he turned around and put his arms around the horse's neck. His seemingly slender waist twisted, and the tall war horse was thrown to the ground by his arms!
The war horse neighed, and when it fell to the ground, it made a muffled sound.

However, the man on the horseback didn't react slowly, and immediately jumped on the spot, without being crushed by the heavy horse, and stood up after rolling on the spot.

Then he roared again, the spear in his hand changed from stabbing to sweeping, and went straight to Li Yuechen's neck exposed to the air.

Li Yuechen easily raised his left arm to block the side of his neck, blocking the blow.

Because the opponent's spear was not good at craftsmanship, it was only made of pig iron, and its texture was brittle. Such a spear broke a gap!
However, while supporting the opponent, Li Yuechen's right hand also thrust forward suddenly, and directly grabbed the opponent's wrist, and then turned around with his left hand, and grabbed his shoulder.

The move itself is very simple, it is the grappling technique taught by Liu Rengui.

In this era when many martial arts have not yet fully formed, it can be said that it is a move with little technical content.

But a simple move, if supported by a powerful force, can also produce incredible effects!
……

The moment he grabbed the opponent, Li Yuechen's eyes flashed a trace of unbearable, but then he became firm again!
With a violent pull of both arms, only a "poof" was heard, and the captured person subconsciously let out a scream that resounded through the sky.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yuechen forcibly tore the opponent's arm off his body!

The other party screamed and fell to the ground and rolled, a lot of blood was continuously splashed on the grass, but his right arm was completely smashed, and his skin and chest muscles were pulled into strips by the huge force, which looked extremely tragic.

The shrill screams resounded between the two armies. Li Yuechen resisted the feeling of nausea, stood up straight and looked at the Turkic man who was in charge of the translation opposite, showing a smile: "The number one warrior in the grassland..."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked to the command platform behind her army. At the same time, the soldiers on her own side who saw this scene let out a loud roar, and their morale was unprecedentedly high!

Suddenly hearing a "rumbling" sound behind him, the opponent's general must have reacted, and launched a charge immediately, in order to minimize the impact of the failure on morale just now.

The rumbling sound behind this must be the sound of the earth shaking when thousands of horses are galloping.

However, Li Yuechen didn't look back, and still walked in the direction of his army without any haste, but raised his left hand and made a gesture.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion on both sides of the army brought the ignited fire pockets close to the upper grenades that had been placed on the launching crossbow, waiting for the commander's order.

Although Geng Yunqiang and Niu Ermao on both sides were also shocked by His Royal Highness's record just now, they immediately began to visually calculate the distance after seeing her gesture, waiting for the opponent's cavalry to rush into the optimal range.

The distance of 700 meters is still very fast for the horses. After only about [-] seconds, Geng Yunqiang and Niu Ermao gave the launch order at the same time.

Thirty grenades with fuses ignited drew arcs in the sky, and landed accurately among the enemy cavalry.

In the next moment, almost all the soldiers saw a picture they would never forget.

Li Yuechen walked towards them with a confident smile on his face.A black ponytail fluttered behind her, and behind her, among the thousands of horses galloping forward, a large number of fireballs exploded suddenly.

Flames, smoke, and blood mist accompanied by broken limbs flew in the air behind her, followed by a series of violent explosions, mixed with the screams of people turning their backs.

Such a picture was remembered by everyone who participated in this war, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime!
