Taba Feng nodded, and his guard handed the wooden box to one of the Turkic cavalry. The Turkic horseman held the wooden box tightly in front of his chest and rode back with his head lowered.
When the wooden box returned, the expression of the Right Kill Noble relaxed a little.
"May I ask who this person is?”Taba Feng asked.
"Hengsi Luotele, the fourth prince of the Shuoye Khagan.”Right Kill replied coldly without hiding anything.
Taba Feng's heart trembled. He hadn't expected Guo Ziyi to kill Shuoye Khagan's son! Teller was also a Turkic official title, similar to a prince in the Tang Dynasty. It was held by a descendant of the Turkic royal family, and this fourth prince was called Heng Siluo.
Guo Ziyi didn't understand what Hengsi Luotele meant, but he understood that he was chopping off the head of the fourth prince of Shuoye Khagan.
This fourth prince was also the son that Shuoye Khagan doted on the most, and he had always wanted to nurture him. In this invasion of the Tang Empire, Shuoye Khagan had also brought this fourth prince out to gain experience so that he could accumulate military merits. The siege of Yanzhou had gone relatively smoothly over the past few days. The fourth prince also thought that the Tang army guarding the city was at the end of its rope, so he was a little careless. He had been too close to the front of the battle, and there were not enough guards around him, which gave Guo Ziyi a chance.
"Did you kill him?" The Right Killing Noble cast a cold gaze at Guo Ziyi.
"That's right!" Guo Ziyi did not flinch at all. Instead, she felt proud of herself. He had transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty and had beheaded a Turkic prince in his first battle. His heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Moreover, beheading a Turkic prince was a significant contribution. If the Imperial Court decided to reward him according to his merits, his reward should be quite generous.
Taba Feng also looked a little smug as he turned to look at Guo Ziyi.
The Right Killing Noble withdrew his gaze with a solemn expression.
"Khagan Shuoye also asked me to deliver a message. If General Li is willing to surrender, the lives of the entire city's soldiers and civilians can be saved.”Right Kill said lightly.
"The city is here, I am here. The soldiers of the Great Tang would only die in battle, not surrender!”Taba Feng replied firmly.
"General Li, you have to think carefully. There shouldn't be many soldiers left in the city. When our Turkic army breaks through the city, not a single soldier or civilian will be able to escape!”Right Kill said through gritted teeth.
"Even if we fight to the last man, the Tang soldiers and civilians will never surrender!”
Right Kill nodded and smiled sinisterly.""General Li is really good. Let's meet on the battlefield. With General Li's courage, we will leave your corpse intact.”
"As for you, you killed our Hengsi Luotele. Shuoye Khagan will never forgive you!”Right Kill glared at Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi smiled faintly, his chest full of pride."Then bring your horse back. I might even chop off your Shuoye Khagan's head!”
Right Kill's body trembled, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
"Remember what you said!" The Right Kill noble gritted his teeth and turned to leave, the three Turkic cavalrymen carrying the head of the Turkic Fourth Prince following closely behind.
Guo Ziyi followed Taba Feng back to the city. After entering the city gate, Taba Feng let out a long sigh.
"The Turkic army will soon be attacking the city. You killed the fourth prince of the Shuoye Khagan, so they will definitely come out in full force to avenge you. It's going to be another bloody battle."
There were only about a thousand soldiers in the city. Although Taba Feng's words were firm, wars were fought by people, not by words. He was also worried.
He had already reported to Shuofang Regional Governor Wang Zhongsi for reinforcements, and the other side had sent a message saying that reinforcements were currently rushing to Yanzhou and would only arrive in two days. One could imagine how difficult it would be to defend Yanzhou for two days against a Turkic army of fifty thousand.
Guo Ziyi knew what he was thinking and asked,"General, do you have a plan to defend the city?"
"The walls of Yanzhou have just been built, so they are still quite sturdy. However, I originally only had five thousand soldiers in the city, and I lacked heavy weapons. I had already lost quite a few soldiers in the previous battles. As for the strategy to defend the city, I don't have any good ideas either. I can only defend the city with my life!”Taba Feng frowned.
Guo Ziyi's heart trembled as she suddenly thought of something.
"General Li, I have a good plan to defend the city. It might be able to last for two days and reduce our casualties.”
Taba Feng was shocked and turned to look at Guo Ziyi."Tell me what good plan you have!"
"General, please follow me!" Guo Ziyi led Taba Feng to the warehouse on the main street of the city gate and immediately stopped in front of the dozens of barrels of Yanzhou rock fat.
"General, do you know what's inside?”Guo Ziyi pointed at the wooden bucket.
Taba Feng smiled faintly." This is rock fat produced in Yanzhou. It's used to make ink. It's very common here.”
"General Li, not only can this grease be used to make ink, but it can also be used to kill enemies!”Guo Ziyi gently knocked on the wooden bucket with his hand. His eyes flickered as he looked at Taba Feng and said.
Taba Feng was shocked.”
Guo Ziyi nodded." Now that the enemy is outnumbered, it's an unbalanced battle. We can't just ask for a few kills, but we should pursue a one-sided kill. This way, we can preserve our own strength to the greatest extent and eliminate the enemy's effective strength!”
"Asymmetrical combat…point damage. Face damage. Taba Feng was stunned.
Guo Ziyi secretly laughed. He had not stopped himself from blurting out some theoretical terms of modern warfare.
"What I mean is that the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great. We need to use this Yanzhou rock fat to kill and injure the Turkic cavalry in large numbers. Only then can we minimize our casualties and hold on until reinforcements arrive!”Guo Ziyi explained again.
Taba Feng understood this time and was a little surprised.""It's something used to make ink. How can we use this Yanzhou's rock fat to kill and injure the Turkic cavalry?”
Guo Ziyi approached Taba Feng and shared her thoughts.
"Is this really okay?" After hearing this, Taba Feng was skeptical.
"Anyway, we're fighting alone now. Why not give it a try? Maybe it will have a miraculous effect!"
Taba Feng nodded. The situation in Yanzhou was indeed not optimistic, and they were in a desperate situation. If his thousand-some soldiers were to clash head-on with Shuoye Khagan's 50,000 Turkic soldiers, they would be wiped out in just a few moments, and they wouldn't be able to last more than two days before reinforcements from Shuofang arrived. Although this was the first time he had heard of Guo Ziyi's plan, it might be able to achieve a miraculous effect. This Guo Ziyi's identity was somewhat mysterious, but he was able to behead a Turkic prince in the midst of the chaos. His martial arts were extraordinary, and Taba Feng had an indescribable feeling about him.
