If I let you stay in Lingnan, how could you become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 81 Where did this kid go?
Suzhou.

Chai Shaozheng and Ren Gui were inspecting the defenses on the top of the city wall when suddenly a messenger came rushing over at lightning speed.

"Report..."

The messenger stretched out his voice, rushed all the way to Chai Shao, and knelt down with a plop:
"Reporting to the Duke, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince encountered the Turkic Wolf Riders on the road!"

"what!"

When Chai Shao and Ren Gui heard this, they were immediately shocked.

Chai Shao quickly asked:

"How many people are there on the other side?"

"There are at least a thousand Turkic wolf riders!"

"what……"

The two men's expressions changed again.

The Sixth Prince only brought 500 personal guards with him!

The other side actually had thousands of people, and they were battle-hardened Turkic Wolf Riders!
This is bad!

Although the Sixth Prince's five hundred personal guards were all elite soldiers selected from the public and the six guards of the Eastern Palace, the battle-hardened Turkic Wolf Cavalry were extremely powerful!

It’s a two-on-one, or maybe even three-on-one situation. Do these five hundred guards still have a chance of winning?

The Sixth Prince is in danger!
A huge blood-red text seemed to appear in front of Chai Shao and Ren Gui:
Danger! ! !
"Quick, immediately order Huang Junhan to lead a group of elite soldiers to rescue His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!"

"Please select another elite soldier in Suzhou City. I will lead the team myself to rescue the Sixth Prince!"

Chai Shao rushed down from the city wall while speaking loudly.

Although the Duke was very unhappy that a young boy like the Sixth Prince was in charge of the expedition against the Turks, he was also really worried about the Turkish Wolf Cavalry's surprise attack on Li An's team.

After all, he is the prince consort of the Tang Dynasty and Li An's uncle!
How can an uncle turn a blind eye and do nothing when his nephew is in trouble!
As the saying goes, brothers fight together in battle, and fathers and sons fight together in war.

Li An is in trouble, he must lead the rescue team personally!

Soon, he selected a cavalry of 2,000 men from the Suzhou army, and rushed to the battlefield with two men on horseback, handing Suzhou over to Ren Gui.

They rushed all the way at lightning speed and caught up with Huang Junhan's rescue team in less than half a day.

Huang Junhan also brought a cavalry of 5,000 men to support Li An, but because they were heading to Suzhou in the northeast, they did not have any advantage over Chai Shao's team and were soon caught up by Chai Shao.

The two men had no time to exchange greetings when they met, and they rode at full speed to the area where Li An was attacked.

Riding on horseback, both of them were extremely anxious.

When the messenger came to report, it was already the second day after Li An was attacked.

In other words, the battle had actually been going on for a whole day!

Is the Sixth Prince still there at this time?
He couldn't have been defeated and captured!

Even though this teenager had experienced battles with local chieftains in Lingnan and won several battles, those local chieftains were just savages living in poor mountains and bad waters. They didn't even have decent leather armor and wore rattan armor woven with rattan!

It wouldn't be a big deal if he won against such an enemy.

But the Turkic Wolf Riders are different!
These wolf riders have all grown up on horseback. They are proficient in riding and archery, and their saber charges are extremely fierce.

Facing such a ruthless person, the Sixth Prince is in danger!
Soon, they arrived at the area where Li An was attacked yesterday.

Before they got close, cold sweat broke out on their backs.

There were corpses everywhere on the desolate grassland, and many wild dogs and crows were gnawing at the corpses. It looked horrifying.

From a distance, it seemed that there were no living people at all!
"It's over..."

Chai Shao and Huang Junhan both felt disappointed.

At a glance, there were hundreds of bodies on the battlefield.

It seems that the Sixth Prince's troops have been completely wiped out!
It would be fine if he was captured by the Turks. At worst we could negotiate and find a way to redeem him.

But if they died, how would they explain to Li Shimin? Chai Shao turned pale and cursed angrily.

"Little yellow-mouthed child, little yellow-mouthed child..."

Although he was cursing, he was more anxious than anyone else.

This is his real nephew!

If something happened, how would he explain to Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin when he returned?

When he arrived, he immediately jumped off the horse. Although he was in his fifties or sixties, he was still in good shape.

After jumping off the horse, Chai Shao looked carefully at the pile of corpses.

The more I looked, the more surprised I was.

Judging from the corpses on the ground, they are all Turkic corpses!

Although these corpses were headless, they could still be identified at a glance from their clothing. They were left behind by the Turks.

Chai Shao and Huang Junhan looked at each other, confusion and surprise in their eyes.

The Turks had no habit of leaving behind the bodies of their companions. After a battle, they would often fight to the death to retrieve the bodies of their companions and then cremate them together.

There are so many corpses left on the battlefield now. It is obvious that the enemy has no time or no way to retrieve the bodies of their companions.

Did they lose?

Chai Shao and Huang Junhan rode their horses to various places on the battlefield to search, and soon discovered something surprising.

There was not a single Tang soldier's body on the battlefield.

even,

There wasn't even a piece of equipment or weapons discarded by the Tang soldiers during the battle!

Chai Shao and his men were all veterans of battle, and they all knew that in the event of a surprise attack on the battlefield, the two armies would come into close combat, and even if their side did not leave behind corpses, it would at least lose a lot of baggage and equipment.

But now, judging from the situation on the battlefield, not only are there no corpses of the Tang soldiers, there are not even any abandoned equipment and supplies!
There were a few traces of campfires, indicating that they had camped here for a short while.

In the end what happened?,

Could it be that……

Not only did the Sixth Prince and his men not fail, but they defeated the Turkic Wolf Cavalry?
How can it be!

But there are only five hundred of them!

Facing an army twice or even three times their size, the Turkic Wolf Cavalry, who had been trained on horseback since childhood and were proficient in archery and good at fighting, how could they win?

Although Chai Shao and Huang Junhan both couldn't believe it, from the traces on the battlefield, it was obvious that the Sixth Prince had indeed defeated the Turks and killed them so badly that they didn't even have time to retrieve their bodies.

The heads that the Turks lost were obviously cut off by the Tang soldiers.

When Chai Shao saw this, his face regained some color, but his eyes were still filled with doubt and surprise.

There was no trace of the Sixth Prince, only corpses of Turkic soldiers all over the ground. So where did Li An and the others go?
This kid wouldn't be so excited to fight, so he went straight into the deep Mobei!
What a bastard!
You only have 500 people, yet you dare to go deep into Mobei!
Do you really think the Turks in northern Mogolia are a group of sheep?
Chai Shao suddenly remembered what Li Shimin had said before:
"There is nothing that my little boy dare not do!"

"If you give him 20,000 elite soldiers, he will dare to attack the Turks' hometown!"

Before, when Chai Shao heard this, he was a little dismissive, thinking that it was just the father praising his son.

Now it seems that what Li Shimin said was absolutely true.

Obviously, that kid Li An went to Mobei with 500 people!
He is just like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger!
Thinking of this, Chai Shao was shocked and scared.

But the desert is vast, where can we find this bad boy?
As he was thinking, he suddenly saw a messenger running towards them:

"Report..."

The messenger ran over here, shouting in panic:
"It's not good. The Turks took advantage of the Duke and General Huang coming to rescue the Sixth Prince and suddenly sent out a large army to attack our Ganzhou troops!"

"The enemy has dispatched a total of 40,000 cavalry and has surrounded our Ganzhou troops!"
