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

Chapter 696: Hou Junji Achieves a Great Victory

But their tracks were still discovered by the sharp-eyed Tang Dynasty servant, who was hiding far behind Tu Hai.

"Hurry, faster."

Tu Hai yelled at the guard driving the car.

Thinking of the Tang army that had made him so embarrassed, anger welled up in Tu Hai's eyes. He had already made up his mind that once he arrived at Fengtian City, he would mobilize a large army to massacre all the remnants of the Huaxia tribe in Jianzhou City.

At their speed, they would reach Fengtian City in another half an hour, and then they wouldn't have to worry anymore.

Tu Hai's tense mood also relaxed.

But the next moment, the ground beneath Tu Hai's feet began to shake wildly. As the leader of the Eight Banners Army, Tu Hai naturally knew what this vibration meant.

Over ten thousand cavalrymen.

Tu Hai's worry, which had just been put to rest, was lifted up again.

Sure enough, a moment later, a large mass of Tang cavalry appeared behind Tu Hai. Seeing this, Tu Hai gritted his teeth and immediately gave an order. The 20,000 Tatar cavalry obeyed the order and turned their horses around and stopped.

Tu Hai is a veteran of many battles, so he would not make the mistake of turning his back to the enemy.

As the Tang cavalry approached, Tu Hai slowly adjusted his mentality. Since this battle was inevitable, Tu Hai would naturally not retreat.

After Tu Hai saw the number of the Tang Dynasty cavalry, his expression visibly improved.

Hou Junji came in a hurry, bringing only two cavalry phalanxes with more than 10,000 people, while Tu Hai's side had a full 20,000 cavalry.

Tu Hai, who had an absolute numerical advantage, was much less afraid of the Tang Dynasty's cavalry.

In this world, during the last period of the war against the Ming Dynasty, a saying was circulated: If there are less than 10,000 Jurchens, they are invincible.

Tu Hai, who had twice the number of people, was more confident than ever before.

When Hou Junji was halfway through the pursuit, he saw the Tartar in front of him suddenly stopped and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

After leaving enough distance for the cavalry of both sides to charge, Hou Junji waved his hand to stop the Tang Dynasty cavalry behind him. After a long charge, the horses were exhausted. Fortunately, Hou Junji had made plans in advance. This time, the Tang Dynasty cavalry who were chasing him all rode two horses.

Tu Hai did not launch an attack while the Tang Dynasty was changing trains. The reason was that the Tatars who had just stopped needed to rest and had no spare energy to launch a surprise attack.

In this way, both sides silently accumulated strength, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the other side.

Although Hou Junji was at a numerical disadvantage, he did not show any worry on his face. He had absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty's cavalry.

After about a stick of incense.

After finishing their rest, both sides started moving almost at the same time.

The two sides collided violently like two black torrents.

At the same time, Li Kan also received the news that Hou Junji was pursuing Tu Hai.

However, Li Kan acted as if he didn't care. It would be strange if the 10,000 Tang cavalry led by Hou Junji could not defeat these Tartars.

Li Kan had his own mission at this time. He sent out the cavalry soldiers to hunt down the Tatar cavalry, while he personally led 50,000 infantry and 50,000 flintlock troops to begin carpet-clearing the remnants of the Eight Banners Army.

The Eight Banners Army had been rooted in Jianzhou City for a long time, and their camps were more like small fortresses, so Li Kan finally pulled out the Shenwu cannons in Jianzhou City.

Under the power of the Shenwu Cannon, even Li Kan had the confidence to blast open Fengtian City, let alone the fortresses built by the Tartars themselves.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers basically did not encounter any decent resistance along the way, and even if they did, it was just one more round of artillery fire.

The speed of construction is never as fast as that of destruction. Having said that, Li Kan's destruction of the Eight Banners Army camp continued until the afternoon.

Just as Li Kan led his army to capture the last Eight Banners camp and slaughtered all the Tatars inside, a guard nearby brought news: Hou Junji had returned.

Before Li Kan could react, Hou Junji led the Tang Dynasty cavalry and appeared in Li Kan's sight.

Li Kan was frightened by the appearance of Hou Junji and the cavalry behind him.

Hou Junji's face was covered in blood, and his armor was in tatters. The cavalrymen behind Hou Junji were not much better off.

As soon as Hou Junji saw Li Kan, he looked very proud and couldn't help laughing.

"what happened?"

Li Kan looked confused and couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Hou Junji told Li Kan what happened after the battle with Tu Hai.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Tang Dynasty soldiers, with the help of their martial arts skills, were unstoppable. In the first round of fighting between the two sides, Hou Junji almost killed Tu Hai.

Tu Hai never expected that the fighting power of the Tang Dynasty soldiers would be so terrifying. He immediately ordered the troops to restrain their troops. The 20,000 Tatar cavalrymen huddled together to fight against the Tang Dynasty cavalry.

Hou Junji was naturally extremely confused. This style of fighting had no other use except to delay time.

As expected, when nearly half of the Tatar cavalry had been wiped out, a group of Tatar troops appeared in the direction of Fengtian City.

As Hou Junji was a powerful general under Li Zheng, he was naturally not afraid. He immediately separated half of his cavalry and attacked the Fengtian City army that came to support him.

The Fengtian City army did not expect Hou Junji to be so stubborn, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

In this way, the rear army led the Tang cavalry and forcibly resisted the supporting Fengtian City army with an absolute disadvantage in manpower.

Not only that, Hou Junji finally led the troops and killed Tu Hai, the leader of the Plain Yellow Banner.

The Fengtian City troops that came to support Cao Cao saw that the people they were trying to rescue were dead, and they were afraid that the Tang Dynasty would have more reinforcements, so they retreated to Fengtian City.

Hou Junji was certainly not stupid. Although he was brave, he would not pursue the enemy rashly, so he led his troops to retreat.

After listening to Hou Junji's story, Li Kan couldn't help but worry for Hou Junji.

"What about your injuries?"

Hou Junji burst into hearty laughter when he heard this.

"Don't worry, it's just a scratch, I'm fine. As for the blood, it belongs to the Tartars."

In this battle, most of the Tang Dynasty cavalrymen overexerted themselves, and not many were injured.

Li Kan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The strategic goal of this battle has been achieved. All the Eight Banners Tatars within a hundred miles of Jianzhou City have been slaughtered. Although the soldiers have the blessing of martial arts skills, they are already exhausted at this time, and the two men no longer stay.

The shrill sound of the horn rang out, and the army retreated back to Jianzhou City.

The army returned victoriously, and the Tatars were unable to fight back in a short period of time. Li Zheng ordered a three-day banquet in Jianzhou City to reward the three armies.

Li Kan and Hou Junji, who returned victoriously, reported to Li Zheng. Li Zheng, who had already learned the details of the battle in advance, gave Hou Junji high praise the moment he saw him.

"The Tang Dynasty's Huo Qubing lived up to his reputation."

Li Zheng held the wine glass and looked at Hou Junji who was covered in blood and laughed.
