Second Emperor Li slowly walked over and gently picked up the bloody robe. He seemed to see a young man covered in blood walking towards him with a clear smile…
After an unknown period of time, Second Emperor Li smiled as if he had put down a heavy burden. His eyes were filled with determination as he said,"
"Gentlemen! I have made my decision! I want... Your Majesty, personally lead the army!"
...
Jingyang City.
The Turks had organized several night raids to climb the walls of Jingyang, but they were all repelled.
During the day, the attacks became even more intense!
With the Jie Li Khan personally overseeing the battle, the Turkic generals no longer dared to play any tricks and led their troops to charge towards the city gates.
The open area in front of Jingyang City was not very spacious, and it could only accommodate tens of thousands of people charging at the same time.
Standing on the city wall and looking down, they were densely packed everywhere. Moreover, they were still rushing over crazily, as if they were carrying a terrifying aura. It was somewhat like a black cloud pressing down on the city and wanting to destroy it!
The Turks also had some siege weapons, such as a ram, scaling ladders…Although there weren't many of them, they still put pressure on the city.
The Mo Family Village's defensive weapons had played a huge role. The turrets that had not been used yesterday had also opened their ferocious mouths!
There were a total of ten large-scale crossbows at the city gate. Each one required two people to operate. One person was responsible for shooting arrows, and the other person was responsible for rotating the base to adjust the direction of the arrows.
"Whoosh!"
An overwhelming number of crossbow bolts were shot out. There were densely packed figures everywhere under the city gate, and there was no need to deliberately aim...
This borrowed vehicle was a bit like a catapult, but it was wrapped in iron sheets on the outside, and what it projected was charcoal fire!
A single charcoal fire that exploded in the enemy camp could often kill a large number of enemies.
There were a dozen golems running around the walls. They weren't afraid of the ballista bolts coming from outside the city, and very few Turkic scaling ladders could be placed on the walls.
After an entire day of fierce fighting, the Turks had only left behind corpses and little harvest.
In the end, they were still used to fighting in the grasslands. For example, attacking a city was still a little difficult.
But the Turks also had the advantage in numbers. With two hundred thousand soldiers in front of them, they were so vast that one could not even see the end of them. This was a great deterrence that made many people's scalps go numb.
Luo Qiu, Yuchi Jingde, and Feng Li took advantage of the Turkic retreat to lead a group of cavalry out of the city in pursuit.
When Jie Li Khagan reacted and sent Hu Shi out to fight, the three of them quickly returned to Jingyang City with their troops.
"Jingyang! This Khan swears that if I don't raze this place to the ground, I won't return to the grasslands!”
Jie Li Khan naturally gritted his teeth in hatred, his eyes red as he swore. He felt like he had been played like a monkey!
Night fell once again. Although the soldiers guarding Jingyang City were extremely tired, they were still tense and kept their eyes on the outside of the city wall.
The Turks were very familiar with night raids!
Yuchi Jing De, Luo Qiu, and Feng Li did not dare to be careless in the slightest. They discussed that the three of them would take turns on duty after midnight.
It was still early in the night.
"Haha, Luo Qiu! You have made quite a number of military achievements this time. In my opinion, it's not a problem for you to be conferred the title of Marquis!”
Yuchi Heizi gulped down a mouthful of Sanle liquor, then laughed loudly and handed the wine jug to Luo Qiu, causing Feng Li, who was not far away, to be extremely greedy.
This Sanle pulp was a good thing, second only to grape wine. Moreover, the color was oily, and the taste was sweet and mellow. After drinking it, it left a lingering fragrance on one's lips and teeth!
In Chang 'an, the price of Sanle wine was not cheap! Yuchi Jingde had even stolen it from Old Demoness Cheng's residence…
"I don't care about the title of nobility. As long as the Mo Family Village had money, it would be fine.”
Luo Qiu smiled and took a sip before handing the wine pot to Feng Li. He actually did not want to get involved in the court.
"How can that be? How many people would be envious of this title?”Feng Li said.
"Brat, do you think the reward is too light? Actually, why are you so anxious? With your ability, you will definitely become a Duke in the future, or even an upper pillar of the Great Tang!”
Yuchi Jingde had thought that Luo Qiu was not dissatisfied with the marquis 'title, but now that he found Luo Qiu pleasing to the eye, he began to speak more.
"Let's talk about it later…" Luo Qiu said faintly.
The three of them casually chatted for a while more. Yuchi Jingde looked at Luo Qiu's face and muttered again," How can there be such a person in this world, and he also has the same surname Luo…"
"You brat, are you really not related to Luo Cheng?”
Luo Qiu glanced at him." You have a grudge against him? Why do you keep nagging!"
"That's not it!"
Yuchi Heizi scratched his head and chuckled. Then, he let out a long sigh. There was actually some sadness on his face.
"Luo Cheng, this brat died a tragic death…"
