    The Tang army's battle against Goryeo has always been smooth.  (_¡¶¡·)

    However, when the Tang Army's vanguard army attacked Baiyan City, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Goryeo army.  They discovered that in just a few days, the Koryo people they faced were no longer timid and timid, but brave and unafraid of death.  Suddenly, Datang's attack was blocked, and the soldiers of Datang were not adapted to the bitter cold climate in Liaodong.  The Tang army attacking Baiyan City was repeatedly defeated by the Korean defenders, and their morale was very low.

    However, what is more important is that as the leader of the vanguard army, Liu Junqiong was helpless in the face of the low morale of the Tang army. For a time, the entire camp was filled with a sad atmosphere.

    Liu Junqiong was Cheng Zhijie¡¯s confidant general, so he could become the leader of the vanguard army. Xue Rengui was promoted to Liu Junqiong¡¯s deputy general because of his military exploits in the northwest.  Seeing the morale of the soldiers, Xue Rengui twice suggested Liu Junqiong to withdraw his troops to avoid being surrounded and attacked by the Goryeo army. However, Liu Junqiong did not receive Li Shimin's order and did not dare to retreat rashly.  Therefore, the 30,000 Tang army and the Goryeo army were in a stalemate.

    However, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, who was in the rear, heard that the 30,000 troops in front of Baiyan City were blocked and could not capture a single city in several days. He was furious and decided to go to Baiyan City to see what was going on, and wanted to personally supervise the siege operations.  The generals tried to persuade him to no avail, so they could only follow Taizong Li Shimin to Baiyan City.

    However, what no one expected was that Taizong's personal visit to Baiyan City stimulated the Korean people.

    The very next morning, the Koryo people suddenly opened the city gate, and tens of thousands of Koryo troops rushed out of Baiyan City and towards the Tang army's camp.  The Tang army did not expect that the Koreans, who had always been huddled in the city and guarded the city with strong and defensive honors, would take the initiative to attack. However, they failed to defend themselves well and were defeated by the Korean army.  The general Liu Junqiong was even surrounded by the Koreans.  The tactics of the Koreans were obvious, they wanted to kill the Tang army's leader, to boost their own morale, and to combat the Tang army's arrogance.  Therefore, their main attack direction is Liu Junqiong's tent, which is located in the central position.

    However, this scene of the Tang army's defeat happened to be seen by Li Shimin who came to supervise the battle.

    Li Shimin, who rode horseback to the opposite side of the Tang Army's camp, stood on a high ground and saw the decay in the Tang Army's camp at a glance.

    He said with a gloomy face, "Look, how many troops did the Koreans send out this time?"

    In fact, the straight-line distance between Taizong Li Shimin and the Tang army's camp was very short, but it would be a long way to send troops to rescue him. Besides, Goryeo sent out a larger number of people this time, and he only had 3,000 Niu guards around him, so he did not dare to rush  give an order.

    "Your Majesty, there are estimated to be 80,000 troops!" Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, said.

    "The hateful Korean dog dares to plot under Baiyan City. Your Majesty, the veteran general asks you to order the veteran general to lead his army to destroy Baiyan City!" Cheng Zhijie said angrily.  Liu Junqiong's trusted general, half of the 30,000 troops in the Youzhou elite, naturally made Cheng Zhijie very angry.

    "Your Majesty, we only have 3,000 troops, which is not enough to fight against Goryeo's 80,000 troops. Your Majesty, please think again!" Fang Xuanling glared at Cheng Zhijie and admonished Li Shimin.

    "Yes, Your Majesty, if the minister agrees with the Prime Minister, please think twice, Your Majesty!" Cen Wenwen also said.

    Immediately, the generals around Li Shimin also spoke to persuade Li Shimin.

    When Cheng Zhijie heard everyone¡¯s advice, he turned dark and stopped talking.

    However, just when Li Shimin was silent, someone suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, please give the last general a thousand fine cavalry, and the last general will definitely rescue General Liu."

    Silence!

    The scene was very quiet, and only the whistling sound of the north wind could be heard.

    Li Shimin followed everyone's gaze and looked back, and found that the person who spoke was his Qianniu Guard general Meng Zhao.

    They saw Meng Zhao kneeling on the ground with a determined look on his face, asking for a fight.

    Li Shimin admired Meng Zhao very much. This was because Meng Zhao was not only proficient in military strategy, but also well-organized troops and good in martial arts. More importantly, he was steady. This was why he was promoted by Li Shimin. In just a few years, he did thousands of things.  General of the Cow Guard.  However, what Li Shimin did not expect was that Meng Zhao, who had always been steady today, would take the initiative to ask for a battle, and even dared to claim that a thousand fine cavalry could rescue Liu Junqiong who was besieged by an 80,000-strong army.

    "Meng Zhao, the army has no words to say!" Li Shimin said coldly.

    "Your Majesty, I will not be able to bring Liu Junqiong back to you, so I am willing to raise my head to see you!" Meng Zhao replied sonorously and forcefully.

    "Okay - you are worthy of being my son of the Tang Dynasty, Meng Zhao. I will give you a thousand fine cavalry. I believe you can do it!" Li Shimin said boldly, "The Tang Dynasty will become a brave general. How can the little Goryeo not fail?"  Destroy."

    "Nuo" Meng Zhao said simply.

     He got on his horse and shouted to the Qianniu Guard behind him, "Soldiers, follow me¡ª¡ª"

    As soon as he finished speaking, the war horses galloped, and Meng Zhao and a thousand fine cavalry left Li Shimin and headed for the opposite camp.

    Because Meng Zhao studied at the Army Academy, his combat ideas were deeply influenced by the Black Guard generals. Since he became the Qian Niu Guard general, he trained the Qian Niu Guards like the Black Guards Jingqi, and was influenced by Li Shimin.  At the same time, he also had such a murderous Jingqi just now.

    Watching Meng Zhao leave, Li Shimin remained silent, still focusing on the battlefield opposite.

    At this time, the Tang army on the battlefield was besieged in the center by the 80,000 Goryeo army. They kept charging and killing, but they still could not escape the siege of the Goryeo army.

    Because this 80,000-strong Goryeo army was different from the previous armies. They were not afraid of death and extremely powerful. They were the first elite soldiers that the Tang army encountered who dared to confront them head-on. Coupled with their absolute advantage in numbers, the Tang army fell into a trap.  In a precarious situation, they are even about to be completely annihilated.

    At this time, Xue Rengui used his halberd to chop off the head of a Goryeo soldier. Seeing the embarrassed Liu Junqiong who had been killed by the Goryeo army not far away, he urged his war horse to kill Liu Junqiong.

    ¡°Click¡­ click¡­¡± The horses galloped, and Xue Rengui was like a ferocious god of death, killing the Koreans who besieged Liu Junqiong.

    "Kill¡ª¡ª" Xue Rengui roared, and Fang Tian swung the painted halberd. He saw a bloody storm wherever the halberd passed, and the head fell to the ground like a ripe papaya.

    With just a simple stroke of the halberd, the heads of six Koreans were chopped off.

    Immediately, the surrounding Goryeo soldiers were restrained!

    Li Shimin, who was watching the battle from a distance, was also stunned, and then asked happily, "Did you see that young general is so brave? What is his name?"

    "Your Majesty, his name is Xue Li!" Cheng Zhijie replied.

    "Xue Li?" Li Shimin suddenly realized and whispered, "Didn't he also make military exploits in the Northwest War?"

    "Yes - he will be appointed to Youzhou only after he has made great contributions in the Northwest War." Fang Xuanling replied.

    "Well -" Li Shimin responded lightly. When he knew Xue Rengui's name, he no longer felt the joy he had just felt.  Everyone saw the emperor's expression and understood the reason, so they did not dare to speak and stopped talking about Xue Rengui's bravery.

    On the battlefield, Xue Rengui suppressed the enemy with one move. When the enemy did not recover, he shouted to Liu Junqiong, "General, leave quickly, Xue Li will cut off the rear for you!"

    "Thank you¡ª¡ª" Liu Junqiong did not hesitate and urged his horse to leave.

    At this time, the Koreans came to their senses and attacked Xue Rengui and Liu Junqiong under the command of the general. Their mission was to kill the Tang army generals. How could they miss the opportunity to kill Liu Junqiong.

    When Xue Rengui and Liu Junqiong saw that the enemy was coming to kill them again, they waved their weapons and fought with the Koreans.

    "You all - want - to die!" Xue Rengui was angry. As soon as he activated his war horse, he attacked the Koreans and the Korean general's central position.
