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

Chapter 88 Arrogant Child
After Li An finished speaking, his expression became solemn and he said in a deep voice:
"General Huang, you may doubt my orders, but they must be carried out on the battlefield because I am the commander-in-chief of this expedition against the Turks!"

"and……"

When Li An said this, he suddenly took out a sword from behind:

"I am carrying the imperial sword bestowed upon me by the Emperor!"

When Huang Junhan heard this, his expression immediately became stern.

Imperial sword!

With this sword, if I dare to disobey orders, won’t I be chopped off at will?

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say:
"I humbly obey my orders!"

……

On this side, after hearing the messenger's words, Chai Shao had the same expression as Huang Junhan.

What is this nephew thinking?

Seventeen thousand infantrymen dare to attack fifty thousand Turkic cavalry head-on?

Are you sure you're not crazy?
"Duke Qiao, His Highness said that you must not doubt and must resolutely follow orders, otherwise he will report you to the Emperor for disobeying military orders!"

Chai Shao's expression suddenly changed.

My goodness, this is a naked threat!

You arrogant kid, just because you have some strange weapon in your hand, you dare to look down on everyone and even threaten your uncle directly!
If you disobey military orders, you can go and complain to the Emperor.

Okay, I'll listen to you and see what you want to do!
If these 20,000 Tang troops really fall into your hands, I will definitely tie you up and send you to Chang'an, so that His Majesty can see what a good son he has raised!

When the time comes, I will definitely ask the emperor to chop off your head to apologize to the people of the Tang Dynasty!
Not even if he's my nephew!
Thinking of this, Chai Shao shouted angrily:
"All soldiers, listen up! Everyone, get out of your positions and attack the Turks head-on!"

When all the Tang army soldiers heard this order, they looked at each other in surprise.

There are fifty or sixty thousand Turks!
I have less than 20,000 yuan here.

Even if we add the more than 6,000 cavalry over there, we are still facing an enemy that is three times our number!
Even so, we actually launched a head-on attack on the enemy?

Are you sure this isn't suicide?

However, military orders are as heavy as mountains and they have to obey them. Otherwise, the result of disobeying orders on the battlefield will be a single death.

It's a blow whether it's horizontal or vertical. It's better to die on the way to charge than to die under the sword of your comrades and finally bear the infamy of disobeying orders on the battlefield!

So, at Chai Shao's order, more than 10,000 Tang troops walked out of their positions and headed towards the Turks in the distance.

On this side, the Turkic Khan Ashina Helu was still in shock.

The 5,000 cavalrymen he sent out were unable to break through the enemy's formation of 500 people head-on!

And this time they used a terrible weapon. The explosion from this weapon was even more violent, and it could kill dozens or even hundreds of people in an instant when thrown into a crowd!

What on earth is this!
Moreover, the enemy actually saw through the cavalry that was flanking behind them, and immediately sent out a cavalry to meet them, and repelled the 5,000 cavalry that were flanking them.

I ordered these 5,000 cavalrymen to detour from a distance and try not to attract attention.

Does the other party have a third eye?

In shock, Ashina Helu soon saw that the Tang army in the opposing position had actually walked out of the position and was moving towards him.

In an instant, he was dumbfounded again.

The other side only has more than 10,000 people, and they are all infantry.

And he still has more than 50,000 cavalry on his side.

How dare they!
But he couldn't help but believe it. The Tang army on the opposite side quickly walked out of their positions, abandoned the sharp chevaux de frise and the solid earth wall, and walked towards them.

The expression on Ashina Helu's face quickly changed from shock and confusion to anger.

The Tang people are simply disrespecting our Turkic Wolf Cavalry!

A mere 17,000 infantrymen dared to attack my Turkic cavalry head-on! If I don't kill all these Tang people today, I won't be called Ashina Helu!

Thinking of this, Ashina Helu said angrily:
"Order the army to go out and destroy these Tang troops in one fell swoop!"

He had already seen that only those few hundred Tang soldiers possessed terrible weapons. The other Tang soldiers did not have these weapons, otherwise they would have used them in yesterday's battle.

Since these Tang troops have no weapons, they can just defeat them in one fell swoop.

Then turn around and kill this Tang cavalry and several hundred troops.

Following Ashina Helu's order, the Turkic army immediately dispatched 35,000 cavalrymen, divided into three groups, and launched a charge towards Chai Shao's 17,000-man army.

Seeing that the enemy army was charging towards him in three directions, Chai Shao immediately ordered all the soldiers to form a battle array on the spot and raise their spears in preparation for fighting the enemy.

From a distance, Huang Junhan saw this and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"Your Highness..."

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his dry throat and said:
"Duke Qiao is in danger!"

As he said this, he suddenly discovered Li An sitting on horseback, holding a small iron tube in his hand and aiming into the distance.

Huang Junhan couldn't help but look curious and confused.

What is this again?
Li An put down the iron cylinder, glanced at Huang Junhan, and handed the iron cylinder to him.

Huang Junhan took the iron cylinder, put it in front of his eyes and took a look. He was immediately shocked and almost screamed.

The battlefield situation several miles away can be seen clearly through this small iron tube!
"This……"

He was shocked, but also overjoyed:
"This thing is truly amazing. Where did Your Highness get it?"

Li An smiled but did not answer his question. Instead, he asked:

"General Huang has been through a lot of battles. He should know that no matter how many routes the enemy army is divided into, there must be one main attack route and the others are assisting. In your opinion, which route is the main attack route of the Turks?"

Huang Junhan held the telescope and looked through it carefully, then said:

"It looks like the Turks' main attack direction is in the middle!"

Li An nodded:

"That's right. Their main attack direction is in the middle, and the two wings are responsible for support."

"Next, I want you to immediately send out 6,000 cavalry to attack the enemy's wolf flag position when the two armies engage!"

"To capture the thief first, capture the king?"

Huang Junhan was silent for a moment, but couldn't help shaking his head:

"Your Highness, although the enemy has dispatched nearly 50,000 troops, there are still 10,000 wolf riders near the enemy chieftain. With 6,000 people attacking 10,000 enemies, I'm afraid..."

Li An listened and said calmly:
"What are you afraid of? I'm here for you!"

"you……"

Huang Junhan looked at the five hundred cavalry guards behind Li An with some suspicion.

Just these five hundred people?

Although these five hundred men are strong, they also have many strange and terrifying weapons in their hands.

But it seems impossible to defeat the enemy with just 500 people!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look puzzled and disbelieving.

Li An just chuckled:
"General Huang, don't look down on my five hundred men. Just now those Turks also looked down on them, but now they all know how powerful we are!"

"Wait, I'll have something even better for them to try!"
