I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 693: Defeating the Tartar Elite
Li Zheng believed that the cavalry behind him was no worse than the Eight Banners Army, and should even be said to be much stronger than these Tartars.

Defeat the Tatars at their strongest point.

Li Zheng not only wanted to destroy the bodies of these Tartars, but also trample on their confidence. There was no more direct way than to defeat them in the field combat capabilities that they were proud of.

The gap was so great that even Mahala could do it. Li Zheng stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture to the Tang Dynasty cavalry.

The Tang cavalry, which had been madly slaughtering the soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner the previous moment, stopped, turned their horses around, and lined up neatly behind Li Zheng.

When Mahara saw this scene, he felt a little solemn. An army that obeys orders must have strong combat effectiveness.

But Mahara's confidence in the Eight Banners Army did not waver in the slightest, as this confidence came from repeated victories in previous battles.

Of course, there was something else that shocked Mahala.

Mahara looked at Li Zheng, who was sitting on the horse in black armor, and felt a little dazed.

He sensed an indescribable aura from Li Zheng, a feeling that Mahala had only felt from Huang Taiji in the past.

The man in black armor had a handsome face and a calm aura, and his disdain gave people the feeling that he had been in a high position for a long time. Mahala was a little puzzled. As the leader of one of the Eight Banners and had heard of many high-ranking generals, why had he never heard of such a person?
While Mahara was looking at you Zhen, Li Zheng also noticed this leader of the Eight Banners.

Li Zheng gave Mahala opposite him a cruel smile.

The next moment, 50,000 Tang cavalry actually took the initiative to charge towards the Eight Banners cavalry.

Seeing this, Mahara felt a little angry. This was a naked contempt for the Eight Banners Army.

Mahara was not afraid at all. He called on the Eight Banners cavalry behind him to meet the charging Tang cavalry.

Li Kan stood on the city wall of Jianzhou City, watching the two cavalrymen rushing towards each other like a torrent. He also had some guesses about Li Zheng's plan.

As Li Zheng is one of the two strongest grandmasters in the world, Li Kan is not very worried about Li Zheng's safety.

As for the Tang Dynasty Cavalry?
Their record of conquering the entire world is the best proof of their bravery, needless to say.

Under Li Kan's confident gaze, the two strongest cavalry units in the world collided fiercely.

Li Zheng, who was leading the way, was like the sharpest steel needle and hit the Eight Banners cavalry first. With the blessing of the grandmaster's martial arts skills, the Eight Banners cavalry who dared to confront Li Zheng were all killed.

Li Zheng's terrifying strength caused the soldiers on both sides to exclaim in surprise. After the exclamations, the Tang Dynasty cavalry silently followed the gap torn open by Li Zheng and fiercely rushed into the formation of the Eight Banners Cavalry.

Not only Li Zheng, the Tang Dynasty cavalry also displayed their martial arts skills and killed the enemies one by one.

The Tang Dynasty cavalry led by Li Zheng was like a red-hot steel knife inserted into lard. It was unstoppable and directly pierced through the Eight Banners Cavalry.

After a wave of attacks, the two sides exchanged positions.

Mahala looked at the center of the field, her heart aching as if it was bleeding, and at the same time her heart was trembling violently.

All I could see in the center of the battlefield were densely packed corpses, the corpses of the Eight Banners Army.

Among the densely packed corpses of the Eight Banners Army there were occasionally one or two Tang Dynasty cavalrymen.

It is clear who is the needle tip and who is the wheat thorn.

Mahara looked at the countless corpses of the Eight Banners Army, his body trembling slightly with great fear.

The cavalry that suddenly appeared was stronger than he had imagined. The strength of both sides was not at the same level at all. Mahala even thought that this was not a force that should appear in this world. Mahala didn't know that he had inadvertently guessed the origin of this cavalry that made him despair.

Mahala gets scared.

His body trembled from small to large, until he could no longer keep her on his horse.

Finally, as his body shook, Mahala fell headfirst to the ground.

Li Zheng looked at this scene, shook his head with some amusement, and without caring about anything else, led the Tang Dynasty cavalry to charge again.

Without Mahara, the Eight Banners cavalry, whose strength was originally inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty, had no power to fight.

After resisting for a while, the duel between the cavalry turned into a one-sided massacre.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry no longer maintained their military formation, but divided their troops to find an opportunity to disperse the Eight Banners cavalry and chase them down.

Li Zheng naturally would not participate in this pursuit. After seeing the defeat of the Eight Banners Cavalry, Li Zheng handed over the command of the army to many Iron Cavalry generals, and he took the lead in returning to Jianzhou City.

The Tang cavalry's pursuit of the defeated Eight Banners cavalry continued until the evening. With Jianzhou City as the center, the corpses of the Eight Banners cavalry stretched for dozens of miles.

In the end, Li Kan was worried that they would be ambushed by the remaining Eight Banners Army at night, so he ordered the troops to retreat.

At this point, the first head-on confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in another world ended with a great victory for the Tang Dynasty.

After finishing the follow-up work at night, Li Kan drove to the prefect's residence to ask to see Li Zheng.

Also accompanying them were Hou Junji, Su Dingfang and other generals. In fact, it should be Hou Junji who led the Tang cavalry out of the city. It can be said that Li Zheng stole the limelight from Hou Junji.

Hou Junji naturally had no objection to this. Even if Li Zheng put him in jail at this moment, Hou Junji would not have any doubts. He was wondering if there was any deeper meaning behind Li Zheng's move.

Li Zheng's prestige among the Tang Dynasty generals is so high now.

Li Zheng summoned a group of Tang generals in the conference hall of the prefect's residence.

After everyone saluted Li Zheng, Li Kan spoke first and reported to Li Zheng the detailed results of the battle.

"Your Majesty, in this battle, the Tang Dynasty has basically crippled the Bordered Yellow Banner, and the two elite Tartar troops under Mahara have been completely annihilated."

Li Zheng nodded when he heard this, not surprised.

Seeing this, Li Kan continued.

"Your Majesty, except for the Bordered Yellow Banner, the other six banners also suffered losses. The final results of the battle have been counted. Our army killed more than 60,000 enemies and captured countless horses. According to your order, no prisoners will be taken."

Li Zheng was a little surprised. In this battle, about 30,000 soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner were almost wiped out, and the remaining 30,000 killed should be the Eight Banners cavalry led by Mahara.

Li Zheng did not expect that this Tartar was not only good at fighting, but also good at escaping. Li Zheng originally thought that it would be good if only ten thousand Tartars escaped.

Li Zheng still underestimated the elite of the Tartars.

"The number of casualties on our side is less than 200."

After hearing this number, Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction. Two hundred versus sixty thousand, this exaggerated battle loss was nothing for him to be dissatisfied with.
