Chapter 859
The moment Li Shimin waved his hand and ordered the cavalry to charge.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both knew that the battle had come to decide the outcome.Hou Junji suggested: "Since Your Majesty has dispatched the cavalry, do you want to join the Xuanjia Army?"

Li Shimin didn't even think about it, he said decisively: "No, the Xuanjia Army will not move!"

In the battle of Sanyuan, which decided the ownership of the world, the two sides were fighting to a fever pitch.After Li Shimin issued the general attack order to the Zhao army's central army, Qu Tutong, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhang Gongjin, three generals of the Tang army, led Li Tang's only 2 cavalry to dispatch.Over the past few years, Li Shimin has saved money in order to provide for this elite team.Then the Western Turks also dispatched their most elite cavalry, [-] iron cavalry, to join the formation of the Tang army.These [-] horses formed Li Tang's assault lineup, and they were going to attack Zhao Jun's central camp on the hillside.

Zhao Jun discovered this movement immediately from the watchtower, and the scouts on the watchtower kept waving red flags to warn the Chinese army!
Seeing the alarm on the watchtower, the Zhao army staff and generals of the Chinese army also judged from the intention of the Tang army cavalry to gather on the right wing of the Chinese army camp on a large scale that Li Shimin planned to use this cavalry as a sharp knife to cut into Zhao. The junction of the right wing of the army and the defense line of the central army.

"Your Majesty, the Tang army is attacking the right flank of our army. Su Dingfang's men and horses are deployed on the right flank. Although they defeated Shidanai's Western Turkic cavalry, they suffered a lot of casualties. I am afraid they will be broken through soon." Ji Chuan asked. Li Chongjiu reported.

"Your Majesty, the [-] cavalrymen of the Tang Army are trying to cut off the connection between our central army and Yuchi Gong's troops on the right wing. If they are breached, the consequences will be unimaginable. Please make a decision early, Your Majesty!" Yu Shinan seemed a little flustered at the moment.

Li Chongjiu glanced at Yu Shinan and said, "What are you panicking about!"

Yu Shinan dared not speak at the moment.Seeing that the Tang army's cavalry and the Western Turkic cavalry had assembled, the opponent's horses lined up in two conical cavalry formations, one in front and one behind, and began to move slowly.This scene is like being at the seaside and seeing a huge wave coming towards you, rolling towards yourself.

Ji Chuan asked Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, do you want to mobilize the troops of the court guards and arrange them to meet the Tang army south of the hillside and stop the Tang army's attack this time?"

Li Chongjiu frowned upon hearing Ji Chuan's suggestion, didn't say anything, just paced back and forth in thought.

All the generals held their breath, waiting for Li Chongjiu's decision.They knew that Li Chongjiu's next decision would probably determine the outcome of this battle.At this time, even Zhang Xuansu, who always took one step and three strategies, was sweating profusely and dared not speak lightly.

After all, it is easy to make mistakes in judgment when worrying about gains and losses.

Li Chongjiu walked dozens of steps, the hearts of the generals almost rose to their throats, and the cavalry of the Tang army at the foot of the mountain had already started to move, and it would be too late if they didn't make a decision.At this moment, Li Chongjiu suddenly stopped and asked, "How many people have Li Shimin left?"

The generals were stunned, at this time Zhang Xuansu stepped forward and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are still [-] infantry in Li Shimin's central army, which have not moved. In addition, Li Shimin's most elite Xuanjia army has not moved either."

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "If that's true, the Tingwei Army is our army's last reserve team. Since Li Shimin still has spare strength, then we must not move lightly. Li Yuan, Li Yuanji listen to the order!"

Below, Li Yuan and Li Yuanji looked at each other, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the last general is here!"

Li Chongjiu said: "The two of you lead the troops to line up behind Su Dingfang!"

Li Yuan and Li Yuanji looked at each other with embarrassment.The generals knew their embarrassment, how could they withstand the impact of the Tang army's [-] cavalry with only [-] troops?
After hesitating for a while, Li Yuanji showed a ruthless look on his face and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my people to go forward immediately. As long as I can kill Li Shimin, I am willing to do anything!"

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "I don't want you to stick to it, as long as you follow my instructions, it is not impossible to resist [-] cavalry. In addition, I will send reinforcements to reinforce you."

Li Yuanji and Li Yuan's confidence increased greatly after hearing this, and they clasped their fists together and said, "No!"

After Li Yuanji and Li Yuan left, Li Chongjiu said: "I will pass on an order for Su Dingfang's troops to return to the central army to stand by. In addition, I will order Yu Chigong to draw out 5000 troops and form an array behind Li Yuan and Li Yuanji's troops."

"No!" The messenger led the order and left.

"Come on!" Li Chongjiu said, "Send ten cavalrymen to Luo Shixin's department to send an order to tell him not to try to break through Tang's Modao army. He will withdraw from the left flank and support Li Yuan and Li Yuanji's department!"

Ji Chuan said: "Your Majesty, if Luo Shixin's troops retreat and the left wing is unguarded, what should the Tang army's Modao army attack Xu Shiji's garrison guards together?"

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "You underestimate Xu Shiji too much. Even if Li Tang doubles his troops, he still can't take down his position."

"Furthermore, pass on the order to move the main camp and step back five hundred steps! After the hillside, rearrange the formation!"

"Move the base camp?" Zhang Xuansu nodded. This is a good way when the battle situation is temporarily at a disadvantage, but isn't this showing weakness to the enemy?
Just as the generals were moving to the base camp, a cavalryman wearing the war robes of the Hou Weijun rushed to the front of the camp, turned over and fell off his horse, and reported to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, General Shan asked me to tell His Majesty that in half an hour, the same time Continental reinforcements will arrive soon."

The generals were beating drums in their hearts when they heard this, and there was still half an hour. Zhang Xuansu also said: "Your Majesty, within an hour, the reinforcements from Jingyang can also arrive."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Very good."

The horses neighed continuously, and the central army had already begun to mobilize. Wang Shi galloped through the army and said, "Send the order, the second regiment of the court guard army, retreat behind the fifth regiment."
"No!" The Chinese army began to move slowly.The staff began to pack up the map copy, and the soldiers raised the flag and moved it back.

Under the hillside, the cavalry of the Tang army were advancing slowly with their horses. When they moved from the main formation, they were reluctant to ride their horses.

But as a general, you don't have to lead a horse forward like a soldier, because as a general, you have to sit on the horse and watch the dynamics of the entire battle situation condescendingly at any time.Qu Tutong, the chief general of the cavalry of the Tang Army, was sitting on his horse and looking towards the hillside. When he happened to see the scene of Zhao Jun's middle army moving back, his eyes showed disbelief.

Qu Tutong looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly a look of joy floated on his face.Qu Tutong shouted to the left and right: "Li Chongjiu is retreating, he is going to run away!"

"That's right, Zhao Jun is about to lose!"

Speaking of this, Qu Tutong drew out his long sword and pointed forward: "Warriors of the Tang army, charge with me!"

After Qu Tutong gave the order to charge, the military drums of the Tang army beat immediately.After hearing the sound of the war drums, the cavalrymen of the Tang Army jumped onto the saddles one after another, and then urged the horses.

Nearly [-] cavalry immediately broke away from the formation and charged towards the Zhao army's position on the mountain!

Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu couldn't help clapping his hands together and laughed loudly: "Tang Jun really fell for it!"
