Chapter 759: Lonely City
Jiang Chengzi spent a lot of physical strength, and Bai Feng took off from the Suizhou city wall and returned to the assembly place, where Cang Yan and Yun Ge waited anxiously, and they were very happy to see them come back.
"Ah Zhi, what's wrong?" Yun Ge flapped his wings and flew over and landed in front of her.
"The siege of Suizhou has been lifted. Jiang Chengzi replied, then took out the kettle in his back and drank a large sip of water.
"What about Jieli?" Yun Ge hurriedly asked.
"I didn't see it. However, the crisis in Suizhou City has been resolved, Jieli's conspiracy has been exposed, and the Tang army has gathered, which will definitely not give him the possibility of recovery. Jiang Chengzi sat down slowly against the high barrier.
Yun Ge nodded, and then said, "However, I heard that Jieli is very cunning, I'm afraid I can't do it once and for all." ”
"I'll talk about it when Li Nan and them come back. Jiang Chengzi said, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Although she was very physically strong, after so many days of rapid marching and long journey, she had only fought a few battles, and now she was a little tired.
Yun Ge didn't dare to speak and disturb her when she saw that she was tired, but she was worried. It was afraid that the Nine Girls would fall asleep like before, and it was just a bird. What would it do if Nine Girls fell asleep?
Every time, the nine girls fell asleep, and the son wanted to kill people.
Therefore, after a while, Yun Ge shouted softly, "Nine girls, Ah Zhi?"
"What's it called?" Jiang Chengzi slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey. Yun Ge stroked his forehead with his wings, looking relieved.
Jiang Chengzi was puzzled at first, and then understood Yun Ge's concern, stroked his forehead with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I just close my eyes a little and recuperate." After a while, Li Nan will come back, and we will probably have to hunt Jieli again. ”
"You, do you see that?" Yun Ge said embarrassedly.
Jiang Chengzi smiled, and then he heard footsteps in the distance, and Cang Yan, who had been keeping watch in the sky, also fell, saying that Li Nan and they were back. Jiang Chengzi slowly stood up, tidied up his clothes, and looked at the figure gradually turning out of the woods in the distance, getting closer and closer.
"Not a single one is missing, it's good. She smiled and said hello.
"Of course, we're the Elite Division. Li Nan raised his eyebrows and said very angrily. Several subordinates next to him also smiled proudly.
"Looks like the job is well done. Jiang Chengzi said with a smile.
Li Nan jumped off the high barrier and poured a large mouthful of water before saying, "Beyond estimate." ”
"Oh, what's new?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"We were disguised to find out what was going on with Jieli, but we found another team. The leader was a young man, disguised, and could not recognize who it was. There were thirty more. There were thirty-one people in total, and they were also among them. Just when we figured out the real camp tent of Jieli, they also figured it out, and took the lead in killing the three stand-ins, as well as all the guards outside the camp tent of Jieli. Those people were clean-cut. Li Nan said.
Jiang Chengzi frowned slightly and asked, "Then where these people came from, do you have eyebrows?"
"It should be people from the Tang Dynasty, looking at their appearance, they should be born in the army. Li Nan said.
"Well, since that's the case, then your next goal is to go to Shuofang to cooperate with Jinyun and escort Empress Xiao back to Chang'an. Jiang Chengzi said and stood up.
"So, what about the girl?" Li Nan was most worried about this.
"I'll go find your son-in-law. Jiang Chengzi said.
"I don't believe it. Li Nan replied directly.
Jiang Chengzi glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you believe it?"
"Jieli hasn't been caught yet, the battle hasn't been fought yet, where will the Nine Girls allow the enemy to have a chance to turn over?" Li Nan pouted.
"It's useless if you know, I've given you a task anyway. There must be a fierce battle on Jinyun's side, you hurry up and rush to help. Maybe, I can still marry Jinyun to you. Jiang Chengzi said.
Li Nan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Ninth girl, don't talk nonsense, Jinyun will be unhappy." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, go and help your daughter-in-law complete the task. Jiang Chengzi said, patted Cang Yan and Yun Ge, and ordered the two birds to follow Li Nan.
"Bai Feng, let's go. Jiang Chengzi sat lightly on Bai Feng's back.
Bai Feng flapped his wings and flew up, and Jiang Chengzi whispered: "Go north, I'll kill someone." ”
On the city wall of Suizhou, Fan Xing watched the Turks retreat like a tide, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
"We, really, really have God's help. The young soldiers on the tower burst into tears.
"I don't know what's going on ahead yet. The counsellor was very worried.
"Send someone to take a look. Fan Xing commanded.
After a while, the spies reported that the Turkic army was broken and Jieli was captured.
"Who did it? But the immortal in white?" Fan Xing was shocked.
The spy shook his head and said, "It's not a white-clothed immortal, according to the captives we have captured, it is a team of thirty-one people, mixed in with the Turkic army. ”
"It seems that Datang has already deployed. Fan Xing was very pleased, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and still ordered to strictly guard Suizhou City, pay attention to the surrounding movements, and not slack off.
Outside Suizhou City, the vanguard troops who received these news were also the pioneers that Li Ke fell.
"Are you sure it's not the Ninth Girl?" asked Li Ke.
The subordinates are convinced. According to our people, there were two forces at that time, one of which was Li Nan. The other strand is not. "The Earth Demon Heaven Brand, who has been lurking in the Turkic army for more than a year, said very alertly.
"So, Jieli fell into the hands of that group?" Li Ke frowned.
Who is this sudden team of people? Father's, Prince's, Zhang Jia's, or other unknown ones?
He couldn't think of an answer, and as a pioneer officer, he couldn't leave easily. Therefore, he instructed Pu Kui to pass the order to go down, see Jieli, kill him, and be sure to find out who this group of people is.
"Then do ——, want to clean up Yi Nan?" asked Pu Kui again.
"Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life. Now that they are in chaos, these small leaders will naturally take the opportunity to destroy them, but they cannot leave any evidence. Li Ke commanded.
Pu Kui understood it very well and accepted the task.
"If you see the ninth girl, remember to tell her that I will wait for her at the old place. Li Ke said again.
Pu Kui paused, then nodded and set off.
Li Ke straightened out his armor, summoned his attendants in, wrote a letter with a pen, and ordered someone to send it to Li Jing who was coming slowly.
As soon as the messenger left, Li Ke reorganized the three armies, gave the order, and immediately waved his army north, drove away the thieves who invaded our Datang, swept through the Turks, and solved the border trouble in the north of the Tang Dynasty at one time.
Not long after, starting from outside Suizhou City, the Tang army began to sweep away the thieves, all the way north, directly approaching Xiazhou, a lonely city in the north of the Tang Dynasty.
In the city of Xiazhou, it was originally garrisoned by the Chai family's army, Chai Zhewei and Liu Lancheng were governed, and the eldest grandson Jun also came to Xiazhou with the army, and Chai Zhewei was in one place. A month ago, the Turkic army suddenly approached Xiazhou.
The city of Xiazhou was besieged, and the Xiazhou Chai army and the original garrison rose up to resist, and finally paid a heavy price. The whereabouts of the eldest grandson are unknown, and Chai Zhewei is seriously injured.
Just when everyone was determined to die and live and die with Xiazhou City, the Turkic army suddenly withdrew. Liu Lancheng was afraid that there would be fraud, so he closed the city gate and did not come out, and only sent messengers to spread the message.
Eventually, the letter was delivered. I heard that the Turkic army besieged Suizhou. Liu Lancheng was puzzled, Chai Zhewei was seriously injured, so he immediately asked someone to escort Chai Zhewei back to Chang'an for treatment, and reported the situation of the side plug by the way.
At the same time, part of Hou Junji's troops stationed in Shuofang were also besieged by the Turks and were severely damaged. The Turks were also about to take the city, so they stopped attacking the city and withdrew their troops.
Shuofang City, like Xiazhou, suffered countless losses and lost countless soldiers, and no longer had the strength to fight. If the Turks come to attack the city again, whether it is a bloody battle or a desperate defense, it will last for half a day at most.
These are two cities that no longer have combat effectiveness.
Does Jieli want to use this way to break these cities one by one and break the prestige of the Tang Dynasty?
Liu Lancheng vaguely felt that it was wrong to think so, but he couldn't think of any other reason. Besides, it is still difficult for him to defend the city now, let alone rush to the aid of Suizhou. The Chai family army was originally elite, but when Chai Zhewei was stationed here, he brought the part of the Chai family army that belonged to him, not the world-famous Chai family army headquarters. Now, the army brought by Chai Zhewei has almost lost its casualties. And the eldest grandson, who was able to fight well, had also died in battle.
In the city of Xiazhou, Liu Lancheng walked on thin ice. The future of a city and the people of a city are all tied to his shoulders, and he cannot see the enemy's intentions clearly.
"General, the Turks are in a rout and are scurrying around. The spies came to report suddenly.
Liu Lancheng raised his head suddenly and asked, "Is the army coming?"
"I don't know. The spy shook his head, and the outside of Xiazhou City was already barren and ruined. He had told the spies not to go too far.
"Well, you go and rest. Liu Lancheng said that he hadn't closed his eyes for a long time, and his eyes were so red and swollen that they couldn't look like they.
After the spies went down, he climbed the tower alone. The afternoon sun was very scorching, and he looked at the green and undulating hills in the distance, and his heart was faintly full of anticipation.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in sight, looming over the field.
"General, there are people. The sentry next to him was also sharp-eyed.
"Hmm. Liu Lancheng also became nervous, looking at the group of people nervously. That group of people was closer, closer, and kept coming to Xiazhou.
"Thirty-one people, dressed in Turkic soldiers' clothes. The sentry next to him said again.
"Nope. Liu Lancheng shook his head, "There is one more person." ”
"Yes. They also kidnapped one person. "The sentinels also found out.
"Order, combat readiness. Liu Lan gave an order.
The sentry blew his horn, and the group paused and looked this way.
Liu Lancheng frowned, and suddenly above the group of people, there was a big white bird, and a young man in white was sitting on the back of the bird. The young man took his bow and arrow, and pointed his bow and arrow at the bound man, and it was an arrow.
It was too far away, Liu Lancheng didn't see it clearly, but looking at the violent struggle of the man, he should have been shot.
Then the big white bird flapped its wings and flew into the clouds, never to be seen again.
"General, subordinates, are your subordinates wrong?" the sentry was also terrified.
"Nope. Liu Lancheng replied calmly, holding the weapon in his hand tightly.
