The Tuli Khagan flew into a rage out of humiliation and ordered the army and siege weapons to be mobilized from the rear, vowing to conquer Ying Prefecture in one fell swoop.
As a result, the pressure on Xue Wanche increased greatly.
He patrolled the city defense day and night, urging the soldiers to defend the city. He did not sleep for several days.
"As long as you hold on for a few more days, our army will definitely defeat the Turkic army and achieve an unprecedented feat!”Xue Wanche shouted as he killed a Turkic spearman who was climbing the city gate tower.
With a swing of his long saber, a line of blood appeared on the ground.
"Kill them!"
Xue Wanche roared and pounced again.
The Tang soldiers were encouraged by their commander's bravery and fought bravely against the Turks, repelling them again and again.
In the dead of night, the lonely lamp was like a bean.
Xue Wanche dragged his tired body into the tent.
" Sir, it has been thirteen days and there is no news from Fang Yi 'ai. Is it…" Deputy General An Ren asked worriedly.
Xue Wanche looked up at the dark night sky and couldn't help but gasp.
It was extremely dangerous for a lone army to go deep into the desert and find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. He did not know where Fang Yi 'ai was, so he could only defend the city and wait for his news.
No matter what, this battle could only be won, not lost!
-----
Thousands of miles away, in Chang 'an.
Second Emperor Li and his ministers stared at the map with bloodshot eyes.
The battle in front of him also affected Second Emperor Li's nerves.
When the Great Tang was first established, it was plagued by internal and external troubles.
Jie Li Khan took the opportunity to lead 100,000 people to the south, forcing Li Er to sign the humiliating Wei River alliance.
Second Emperor Li had never forgotten such a great humiliation.
After several years of savings, the Great Tang's treasury was filled with soldiers and rations. Second Emperor Li was determined to destroy the Turks in one go.
An army of more than one hundred thousand headed north to fight the Turks to the death.
This battle was related to the fate of the Great Tang, so Second Emperor Li couldn't help but be nervous!
"Report!"
A guard walked over and handed over the military report.
"Right army general Xue Wanche defended Yingzhou and defeated the Turks many times! Yao Piao Lieutenant Fang Yi 'ai led his men alone to penetrate the enemy's rear, looking for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy."
Bang!
When Second Emperor Li heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"Nonsense! Nonsense!"
"Thousands of miles of desert, no reinforcements, no food, deep into the enemy's rear, what is Fang Yi 'ai doing?”Second Emperor Li was not concerned about his son-in-law.
He was worried that if the Tang Fuma was killed or even captured, it would damage the court's reputation.
After all, it was extremely dangerous for Fang Yi Ai to go in alone.
"Your Majesty, I have no idea how to teach my son…"
Fang Xuanling took the initiative to apologize. Thinking of his son's life and death, he couldn't help but cry and wipe his tears with his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, I don't think we have no chance of winning this battle!”
Yuchi Jingde suddenly said.
"Your Majesty, the Tuli Khagan's army is all gathered in Yingzhou City, and the Jie Khagan is facing off against Su Dingfang and Li Xiaogong in Yunzhong.”
"That makes sense!"
Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and the other generals nodded.
Compared to the left and middle troops, Xue Wanche defending Yingzhou was a bright spot.
Furthermore, Fang Yi 'ai might have a chance if she went deep into the enemy's rear alone.
Everything would depend on how this kid grasped it!
Second Emperor Li felt a little more at ease and pretended to be calm."In that case, let's take a look first!”
------
"My lord, our army is only ten miles away from Jinzhou City!”Bai Xuan stood on the slope and pointed at the distant lights.
In the distance, a city stood on a mountain ridge, like an iron lock firmly locking down a dangerous place.
Golden State City!
The royal court of Tuli Khagan.
After more than ten days of arduous marching, they finally reached their goal. All the soldiers 'eyes lit up.
However, Fang Yi 'ai did not attack immediately.
According to the scouts, there were more than three thousand soldiers stationed in Jinzhou City.
On his side, there were only five thousand cavalrymen.
If they attacked the city without siege weapons, even if they won, they would have to pay a heavy price.
Fang Yi 'ai was silent, the soldiers did not dare to disturb him and retreated.
Looking at Jinzhou City, which was close at hand, Fang Yi 'ai suddenly laughed: ""How could I forget about it!"
Previously, Song Yingxing, the great scientist of the Ming Dynasty in the Myriad World Communication Group, had gifted him a Godly General Cannon and five craftsmen. Wasn't it just right for him to use them to attack the city?
Tang Chu hadn't used firearms yet, so the appearance of this God Might General Cannon would definitely cause unnecessary speculation.
Fang Yi 'ai hid the Godly Might General Cannon in the group space and asked the Tang army scouts to scout the surroundings.
An hour later, the scout leader came to report with a solemn expression,""Milord, an elite cavalry of the enemy has been discovered 150 li away.”
"What's the enemy's flag?" Fang Yiai asked in a low voice.
Originally, he was prepared to use the Divine Might Great General's cannon to blast open the city gates and take down Jinzhou City.
But this sudden cavalry forced Fang Yi 'ai to act cautiously.
"The opponent is using a golden flag with a ferocious wolf head drawn on it.”
Gold Wolf Guards?
Fang Yi 'ai gasped.
The Golden Wolf Guards were the elite troops of the Tuli Khagan. They were responsible for the safety of the royal court. Even the ordinary cavalry was selected from a hundred generals.
"My lord, if we can't take down Jinzhou City for a long time, our army will be attacked from both sides.”Bai Xuan said worriedly.
However, how could he be willing to give up just like that?
For the past half a month, the five thousand elite soldiers had braved the cold wind and marched across the vast grasslands, enduring hunger. Wasn't it all for this moment of glory?
Everyone stared at the commander, waiting for him to make the final decision!
