"The Turkic commander has been killed and Dingxiang City has been captured!”
The slogan resounded through the night. The battle below was already chaotic. The Turkic soldiers had been killed by the Tang army and almost had no power to fight back!
How could the Turkic soldiers, who had lost their commander, fight against the Tang cavalry?
Not to mention that there was a huge disparity in numbers and strength. This undoubtedly became a one-sided massacre!
"Chief Kerr is dead?"
In the city, when Khan Jie Li heard this news, his eyes were wide open.
It was unbelievable!
Chief Ke Er, who had been guarding Dingxiang City for a long time and was known for his bravery, was killed just like that?
In a head-on confrontation, who could kill him?
The older the ginger, the spicier. No one would have thought that Su Dingfang had lured the city guards out to shoot the general!
It was unbelievable!
The night was long, and he was killed by an arrow on the plains. How many people would believe it if news of this spread?
Jie Li Khagan was cold from head to toe. He didn't have time to think. The Turkic soldiers who had lost their commander couldn't hold on anymore!
"Men, close the city gates immediately and defend the city!”
Jie Li Khagan ordered. At the same time, he started to pack his things and prepared to run away.
"We can't close the city gate. The Tang army has sneaked in and killed the soldiers at the city gate!”
However, his subordinate sent bad news. Jie Li Khan staggered and almost fell. He didn't have time to think and said,
"Defend to the death! Send people to guard the city gate and fight until the last person is not allowed to let the Tang army come in!!!”
……
After an unknown period of time, Li Yu rode the Scarlet Flame Horse and charged forward, his spear waving like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
They fought a bloody battle and took the lead to reach the city gate.
"Young Yu, well done!"
Li Jing was already waiting there. He looked at him and praised,
"Beheading with one arrow, you will be the first to capture Dingxiang City!”
Even Li Jing couldn't stop praising Li Yu's ability. He had not misjudged this precious son-in-law!
Sharpshooter!
The night was long, and he was able to kill the enemy general with one arrow while he was running. Just this skill alone was enough to look down on the heroes.
Li Jing had already made up his mind. No matter what, he had to give Li Yu a great contribution!
"It was Great General who used his plan well and caused the Turkic generals to be careless. This brat was just picking up the slack.”
Li Yu cupped his hands and looked at the sounds of killing coming from the city gate. He asked in confusion,"
"The city gates are broken and the city walls have been taken down. Are there still Turkic soldiers defending the city?”
"Yes, there are more soldiers guarding Dingxiang City than I imagined.”
Li Jing nodded and said with a serious expression,"
"There are probably three thousand of them!”
Indeed.
Just now, the cavalry of the two armies had killed many Turkic soldiers, at least a thousand of them outside the city.
At this moment in Dingxiang City, they were actually being attacked so fiercely!
3,000 was already considered a small number, but it was probably more than he had imagined!
"Jie Li is really in Dingxiang City!"
Li Yu's eyes widened.
There were only a thousand soldiers in Dingxiang City, and this should not be wrong. Now, there were suddenly two thousand soldiers.
There was only one possibility, and that was that Jie Li Khan was hiding here!
"Hmm…"
Li Jing slowly nodded and looked at Li Yu."
"Kid's guess is correct. Other than Jie Li, it's impossible for anyone to quietly mobilize so many troops.”
"Not good! Jie Li must have fled to the northwest direction. I don't know if Governor Liu's ambush is ready!”
Li Yu's expression was solemn.
Previously, although Governor Liu had taken the lead to intercept them from the rear, who knew if Governor Liu could stop them?
" Hu…Military orders are here. Governor Liu doesn't dare to disobey them. It's just that Jie Li has always been cunning…"
Li Jing took a deep breath and looked at Su Dingfang and the other generals who had followed him. He waved his hand and shouted,
"All troops, listen up! Attack Dingxiang City quickly! We must clear the remaining Turkic forces in the city within an hour and pursue Jie Li Khan!”
……
On the north side of Dingxiang City, two thousand soldiers were waiting on the road from the northwest Gobi to Iron Mountain.
However, the soldiers seemed to be very lazy and unguarded.
"Governor Liu, why are we here when you say that Dingxiang City will be attacked tonight?”
"Taking down Dingxiang City is a great merit, but now you're waiting here meaninglessly. Isn't this deliberately playing with people?”
"This is a military order. No one is allowed to complain anymore!”
The soldiers continued to complain, and Governor Liu was getting impatient. The more he spoke, the more unhappy he became.
No matter what, capturing Dingxiang City was taking back the land that had been occupied by the Turks. It was a great merit!
Now, he couldn't hope for any credit. He could only wait here!
One could imagine the grief and indignation in Governor Liu's heart. A personal guard beside him said,
"Governor Liu, I've asked around. That kid is the son-in-law of the Duke of Wei, that's why he's so favored!”
"Son-in-law of Duke Wei?"
Governor Liu was stunned. Wasn't this nepotism?!
Who would have thought that General Li Jing, who had always been upright and impartial, would actually be so selfish!
"There's such a thing? Governor Liu, after this matter, please report to the Imperial Court to impeach this person!”
"That's right, you've caused us to fail in vain. How abominable. Governor Liu, you have to make decisions for us!”
The soldiers spoke up one after another. They were all border soldiers and had not made any contributions for a long time.
Now that he had the chance, he was harmed by such a nobody. How could he not feel resentful?
"Sigh, forget it. Let's talk about it when we get back.”
Governor Liu shook his head. He could only leave the situation to fate.
"Ta Ta Ta…"
Right at this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves rang out, followed by a thud.
"Hmm?"
Everyone looked up and saw that it was a scout who had gone out to scout. Governor Liu's expression changed in shock and he said,
"You, what happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?”
"D-Commander…The Turks are coming from outside Dingxiang City. Quick, quick, deal with them…"
What was that?
Everyone's expressions changed in horror. Governor Liu suddenly supported him and said in horror,"
"How, how many people? How far is it?"
"One li, less than one li. There are at least a thousand soldiers, all cavalry…"
As he spoke, the scout fainted. Governor Liu and the others were shocked.
Less than a mile?
At least a thousand Turkic cavalry!
"Dong dong dong…"
The ground shook, and dust flew into the air. Governor Liu looked at the soldiers who were resting casually and shouted,
"The enemy is here! Quick, prepare for battle!”
