These men followed Guo Ziyi, weaving through the ranks and charging straight at the Turkic general.
Taba Feng, who was supervising the battle on the city wall, saw the strange movements of this small group of prisoners, especially Guo Ziyi, who was the leader. He was shocked.
"Archers, listen up! Concentrate your arrows and cover the death row!”Li Yanfeng immediately ordered. He already understood Guo Ziyi's intentions.
A dense rain of arrows rained down, causing the Turkic cavalry surrounding Guo Ziyi and the others to fall from their horses. Guo Ziyi led the prisoners and charged at the Turkic general.
The small group of soldiers also became alert, and a few Turkic guards charged over. Guo Ziyi and the other prisoners raised their blades and began to slash at the Turkic cavalry, knocking them off their horses!
"Cover me!"
Guo Ziyi threw away the Mo Sword in his hand and picked up a round shield and a Turkic scimitar from the ground. He rolled a few times on the ground before leaping up and slashing at the Turkic general.
A few of the Turkic cavalry guards first fired a volley of ballista bolts, but Guo Ziyi hid behind a round shield to block them. A few more Turkic cavalry guards charged forward, but they were all stopped by the Mo saber-wielding prisoners. The general panicked and immediately pulled out his sword and slashed at Guo Ziyi from his horse.
Guo Ziyi raised his round shield above his head, parrying the Turkic general's scimitar. He then exerted strength in his legs and leaped up, the scimitar in his hand chopping down at the Turkic general's neck.
Another burst of blood spurted out, and a round head fell from the sky.
"Good!" Taba Feng, who was on the city wall, saw this scene and couldn't help but cheer loudly. He clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on the city wall.
The headless corpse of the Turkic general fell from his horse. Guo Ziyi picked up his head from the ground and mounted his mount.
Guo Ziyi raised his right hand and raised the Turkic general's head above his head.
The Turkic cavalry paled and their morale plummeted.
The rest of the Tang soldiers and prisoners on death row seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They were all extremely excited and their eyes were red from killing. They waved their Mo sabers and chopped down the Turkic cavalry in front of them.
The other prisoners who had followed Guo Ziyi also killed a few Turkic soldiers and mounted their horses. Guo Ziyi stepped on the stirrers and led the group of prisoners back into the formation.
Taba Feng, who was on the city wall, was both shocked and excited. He had never expected that a prisoner who had been rescued from Yanzhou's prison cell would be able to make such a meritorious service by beheading a general in the midst of a chaotic army formation.
"Release the arrows, release the arrows!" Taba Feng shouted happily. These few days, the fighting was intense. His chest felt like it was pressed by a thousand-pound boulder. He had never felt so carefree like today. Arrows flew like locusts, accurately shooting at the headless Turkic soldiers below the city walls, causing yet another wave of people to fall.
Ding, ding, ding! The crisp sound of metal clanging could be heard as the Turks began to retreat.
The surviving Turkic cavalry no longer wanted to fight and began to retreat in a sorry state.
A burst of excited shouts came from the Tang army!
Guo Ziyi rode on his horse, holding the head of the Turkic general in his hand as he turned to look at the walls.
His gaze met Taba Feng's in the air, and Taba Feng's heart trembled.
A strange man dressed in bloody clothes was riding on a tall horse in the Western Regions. He held a head that had just been cut off in his hand, like a ghost that had just returned from hell.
Guo Ziyi smiled coldly and raised the head high again.
The cheers around him erupted again.
Within the city walls, in Taba Feng's tent.
Taba Feng sat in front of the table with a serious expression and a hint of excitement.
A Tang Dynasty soldier pushed open the curtain and walked in. It was Guo Ziyi.
He had already washed away the blood on his body. He took off the jungle camouflage uniform of the foreign legion and changed into the clothes of the Tang army.
Guo Ziyi also knew some ancient etiquette. After entering the account, he cupped his hands and bowed to Taba Feng."Greetings, General Li!"
"Sit!" Taba Feng laughed heartily.
Guo Ziyi sat down on the left side of Taba Feng. Taba Feng sized up Guo Ziyi and saw that he was handsome and strong. His figure was taller and stronger than himself, and his eyebrows were full of heroic spirit.
"I asked someone to investigate. Your name is Guo Ziyi, and you committed the crime of assassinating a military lieutenant.”Taba Feng asked seriously.
Guo Ziyi first nodded, then shook her head.
"Who are you? Why did you assassinate the government troops?”
Guo Ziyi thought for a moment and then replied,"I'm also a Han, but I grew up in a foreign country in the Western Regions and have been doing business with the Hu. I came to Yanzhou this time to do business. As for the crime of assassinating a lieutenant, it was really a misunderstanding. I fell from a high place and happened to hit that lieutenant. Who knew that a carriage would come over, so…"
Guo Ziyi's words were half-true and half-false. She covered up the fact that she had transmigrated, and there was indeed not much flaw in what she said.
Taba Feng smiled and waved his hand."Alright, no matter what crime you have committed, I'm a man of my word.”
"Then I'm free?"
Guo Ziyi had spent a few years in the famous romantic capital of Somalia. Later, she followed the foreign legion stationed on Kelanjia Island, where the people were open. Now that he had finally transmigrated, Guo Ziyi just wanted to take a good look around the Tang Dynasty and experience it. He also knew that the history books said that the women of the Tang Dynasty were also very open-minded…
"Even if I set you free, you won't be able to leave Yanzhou. Now that the Turkic army had surrounded the area, it would take at least two days for reinforcements to arrive. In two days, the Turkic army will definitely attack again, and we only have a thousand soldiers left. If we can't hold on until reinforcements arrive, we'll still die.”
Guo Ziyi nodded. What Taba Feng said was true. He and the prisoners on death row had only temporarily escaped death. Guo Ziyi was also puzzled and asked,"General, I have lived in a foreign land for a long time and do not understand the current situation. But it was said that the Turks had been exterminated by General Su Dingfang during the Xianqing years. Where had these fifty thousand Turkic cavalry come from, and who was that Shuoye Khagan?”
"When General Su led the expedition, he truly destroyed the main force of the Turks and captured Ishbara Khagan. However, General Su had only wiped out the army, not the entire Turkic clan. The remaining Turkic tribes had avoided the Tang army and moved westward. This Shuoye Khagan was the leader of a Turkic clan that had risen to prominence in recent years. He was quite talented and had already unified several Turkic clans, making him quite powerful. These fifty thousand Turkic soldiers were gathered from several Turkic tribes, and they were so powerful that we were caught off guard.”
