People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Flames, countless dancing bloody flames.

Countless Silla soldiers roared angrily in the flames and ran back and forth helplessly.

The entire camp had already turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the Silla people who had just rushed in were immediately burned by the raging fire.

A team of cavalrymen rushed out from the sea of ​​fire on the north side, no one knew how, but in an instant, a team of fully armored cavalrymen passed by directly from the side.

In an instant, the extremely sharp spear had completely pierced through everyone's throat.

The spear blade was covered in blood, and the coldness made people feel extremely refreshed.

Li Xuan slowly stopped the horse, and then looked towards the north with a cold gaze.

In the military camp behind them, more archers were shooting arrows and rockets around the camp, wishing they could let the entire fire rush into the infinite sky.

In the northern land, waves of fighting sounds were heard rapidly.

Li Xuan looked at him with cold eyes, tightly gripping the spear in his hand. In the end, he could only sigh softly.

This time, when Li Xuan was sent to kill the Silla people, he had seven thousand elite soldiers with him.

In the north, there were 10,000 cavalrymen who suddenly attacked the charging Khitans.

Although Guo Hui often appeared in Chang'an and Luoyang in recent years, he spent more time in Khitan and Turks.

Using a part of the Turkic people as a connection and the forces in the Tang Dynasty that were dissatisfied with Li Xuan as a trump card, he lured Li Jinzhong, the leader of the Khitan tribe in the north, to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Huiyue was just a pawn, releasing traitorous ministers who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty in all directions.

As for the Khitans, although Guo Huiyue tried to connect with them, to be honest, he did not do anything excessive.

However, the Khitans were hesitant at first, but after learning that Li Xuan was going to attack the Khitans, they came forward.

This time, he led 10,000 Khitan and Xi cavalrymen and directly attacked the Tang Dynasty.

Joined up with the Silla people and attempted to raid Li Xuan's camp.

But unfortunately, in the north, General Lun Gongren of the Right Guard had already led 10,000 elite soldiers of the Right Guard to ambush and kill them halfway, and they were supported by the Youzhou troops led by Commander Di Renjie.

Perhaps someone wanted to inform other companions, but on a night like this, with a large army marching, a single person would be captured and killed if he was not careful.

……

The sounds of fighting in the distance gradually disappeared.

Li Xuan couldn't help but let out a sigh. If nothing unexpected happened, the last fight of his life would be today.

Soon, the familiar rhythm of countless horse hooves sounded in the distance, and soon, Lun Gongren and Di Renjie arrived with their armies at the same time.

A bloody head was thrown on the ground.

Lun Gongren, Di Renjie, and countless other soldiers dismounted and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty's military fortune flourish."

"Stand up." Li Xuan raised his hand slightly, and then said: "Pass the order, the entire Youzhou will be on full alert from now on. All people and information are only allowed to enter Youzhou to Andong Road. After half a month, the entire Jizhou will be on full alert, and after a month, the entire Hebei Road will be on full alert."

"Yes!" Lun Gongren and Di Renjie bowed at the same time.

"Choose suitable captives from the living Silla people, have them write a document cursing their king, then find two living generals, have them chop each of them with a knife, and then divide them into three groups to send a message to the Andong Army, telling them to return by boat the same way they came. Half a month later, all the troops in front of the Andong Army will withdraw from the Silla territory, wait for the Silla army to attack, put up a little resistance, and then retreat to the designated battlefield thirty miles away."

Li Xuan raised his hand with a cold look in his eyes: "In two months, I want to see the entire northern defense line of the Silla people completely rot away."

"Yes!" Di Renjie and Lun Gongren bowed solemnly. The army plan had been sent to the generals half a month ago, and now it was just a matter of notifying them when the time came.

……

April, early summer.

A black cavalry marched directly into the heart of Silla from Andong Road without occupying the city. After quickly defeating all the city defenders, they rushed into the city, robbed the city lord's mansion, as well as the wealth and food of all the nobles in the city, and then continued to rush southward quickly.

The Silla people did not have many cities in the west, and their defensive strength was completely insufficient. They had no time to react to the sudden and rapid attack of the Tang army.

However, just when they reacted and intended to dispatch troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion, news came from the north that the Tang emperor had been assassinated and the Tang army of Andong Road had stopped its advance.

Since the war began in February, the Tang army has been attacking fiercely.

At the beginning, Li Duozuo commanded his army to launch a fierce attack on all Silla border cities. In a very short time, he captured more than 20 cities of Silla. It was at that time that more than 10,000 black cavalrymen directly killed into the heart of Silla along the coastline.

The Silla people did not have many coastal cities, so their defense was insufficient. At the same time, they did not care much at the beginning, but they could not ignore the Tang cavalry that was coming.

Silla is long and narrow from north to south. Once the Tang cavalry attacks along the sea route, they will immediately reach a place only 200 miles away from the Silla capital by mountain roads.

Of course, there is also a problem with such a cavalry breakthrough, and that is the subsequent supply of food and fodder.

However, before they realized that the Tang cavalry did not need food supplies, Li Duozuo gradually reduced the intensity of attacks on Silla cities, gradually switching from offense to defense, and soon someone noticed something was wrong.

It was at this time that some soldiers retreated from Youzhou, and 10,000 Khitan cavalrymen entered Youzhou, and the whereabouts of the Tang emperor was unknown.

Most likely dead.

Not many people believed this news at first, but as more and more people came back, the authenticity of the news was quickly verified.

At this time, someone suddenly counterattacked the city captured by the Tang Dynasty. Only then did they discover that the Tang Dynasty had withdrawn in advance.

Almost in an instant, all the defenders on the Silla border turned from defense to offense and headed directly towards the Tang Dynasty.

The people sent by the King of Silla couldn't even stop them.

Because they had no idea that the generals on the Silla border had already colluded with the traitors in the Tang Dynasty and the Khitans, and were just waiting for this opportunity to bite off a piece of fat meat from the Tang Dynasty.

……

In the lobby of Youzhou Governor's Mansion, countless figures quickly came in and out, and then handed pieces of paper to Chen Ziang.

Chen Ziang quickly displayed the army's progress in front of the army on the sand table in front of Li Xuan.

Li Xuan watched calmly, without saying much, just watched quietly.

Li Duozuo was in command at the front line, and his ability was unquestionable.

Li Duozuo sees many details more clearly than Li Xuan.

Li Xuan also has no interest in remote control.

Of course, that's because the situation in Anton is now developing in the expected direction.

Thirty thousand elite Silla troops have entered the trap set by Li Xuan.

They are doomed. (End of this chapter)
