After the decision was made, the 1,200 horsemen finally got time to rest.

Within a few minutes, the 1,200 people occupied the magpie's nest and slept soundly in the territory of the Turks.

The corpses of the Turks everywhere obviously did not cause much trouble to the soldiers, and the one they slept on was called an incense, and the snoring sound shook the sky, and Li Yan himself couldn't rest.

On the other side, Ge Dahai, who was in charge of interrogation, also quickly got the direction of the Turkic king's tent, and then ran to observe it himself, and only returned to the camp to rest after confirming the correct location.

At this point, the 1,200-person Northern Expedition vanguard cavalry team that had not closed their eyes for two days began to rest and recuperate, and the Mobei grassland also returned to tranquility.

……

Four hours later, the rest of the soldiers were ready to go.

If we look at the 24-hour clock, it is only 3 o'clock in the morning, which is the most sleepy time for people.

"Lead the way in front of Ge Dahai, let's go!"

At the sound of an order, everyone got on their horses and left the Ashina tribe and ran towards the location of the king's tent.

Today, there are only tens of thousands of Turkic corpses left in the Ashina tribe, and they don't understand until they die why the weak Tang Dynasty suddenly launched an attack on the grassland.

They can't figure it out, and Jieli Khan won't figure it out.

Now, the head of the Turks, Jieli Khan, is sleeping in the palace he built.

What he was holding in his arms was Princess Yicheng of the former Sui.

Although Princess Yicheng has now become a forty-year-old middle-aged woman, as a princess of the former Han Dynasty, she still has a lingering charm in the eyes of Jieli Khan, and she is beautiful enough.

Therefore, even if Princess Yicheng is inherited by Jieli Khan from Chuluo Khan (the elder brother of Jieli Khan), from Shibi Khan (the elder brother of Chuluo Khan) from Qimin Khan (the old father of the first three).

But Jieli Khan still likes Princess Yicheng tightly, and basically sleeps with him every night.

At this time, Jieli Khan did not know that a crisis related to his freedom in the second half of his life had quietly arrived.

Twenty miles outside the Turkic king's city, Li Yan had already arrived with his army.

After carefully observing the structure of the royal city, Li Yan specified a detailed plan.

"Ge Dahai, you lead 400 people to guard the two city gates, and you can't let any Turks escape."

"The rest of the people and I will attack the king's tent first, and if Jieli Khan is in the king's tent, he will capture him alive and attack the city, and if he is not there, he will slaughter the king's tent and then attack the city."

This royal city is adjacent to the king's tent, the king's city is built of earth and stone, the scale is not large and there are only two gates, the king's tent is adjacent to it, all of which are composed of the camp tents of the steppe people, the two are less than a mile together, and Li Yan can't judge whether this Jieli Khan is in the city or in the king's tent.

Therefore, Li Yan had no choice but to choose such a style of play that would not let go of anyone here to prevent Jieli Khan from escaping.

After confirming the battle plan, 1,200 cavalry began to slow down and try to reduce the movement of the march.

Perhaps this place is a Turkic important place, Jieli Khan never thought that he would be beaten here, and there is not even a single Turkic person here who is on guard at night!

Therefore, it did not take long for the soldiers to reach their destination smoothly.

Until Li Yan led people to touch the inside of the king's tent, no one found out!

It can be said that this time is simply the simplest battle fought since Li Yan led the army to the expedition.

Since the Turks did not find out about their arrival, Li Yan was not in a hurry to provoke a movement, he led his soldiers to dismount, directly touched the inside of the Turks' tent, and began a silent slaughter......

Occasionally, a few of the Turks in the tents were awakened, but they fell tragically to the outnumber.

In this way, almost effortlessly, the royal tent of the Turks was taken by Li Yan.

"In the city?"

After settling the king's account, Li Yan confirmed the location of Jieli Khan.

Since he is not here, he can only be in the palace in the city!

In this way, Li Yan directly led people to the city.

Although this city is small, the height of the city wall is really not low, and it is thought that this is also a high wall specially built by Jieli Khan to prevent civil strife in the steppe.

There is such a city, as long as Jieli Khan shrinks inward, it will never be easily captured in a short time, which can give him enough time to delay.

It's just that this city met Li Yan......

Li Yan rode a horse all the way to the gate of the city, and until now no one has noticed the arrival of the Tang army!

I knew that in the battle of the king's tent just now, the movement of several camps was not very small, and the Turks who fell asleep on the city wall did not mean to be awakened at all.

The Turks have all "released water" like this, how can Li Yan live up to their "good intentions"

I saw Li Yan get off the war horse, step on the earth, and move his muscles and bones......

Rumble!

There was a loud bang, and the heavy solid wood gate was actually smashed open by Li Yan with his own brute force!

If the city gate of this Turkic was reinforced with metal like in Fengzhou, maybe Li Yan would not be able to break it open, but this kind of pure wooden gate would not be able to withstand Li Yan's brute force.

The long wood behind the city gate was broken in two under this impact!

"What's the situation?"

"What sound? What happened? ”

"Not good, city gates!"

With this loud noise, the group of Turks sleeping on the walls of the royal city were awakened in an instant, and they slammed up, their hearts accelerating wildly.

"Kill!"

After Li Yan knocked open the city gate, he immediately returned to the horse, and with an order, a thousand horses entered the city!

Even if the Turks on the city wall woke up too late, you must know that most of the guards here lived in the king's tent, and the defense force in the city was simply useless, almost nothing.

There are only a few hundred permanent guards in the city, and there are less than 100 guards belonging to combat units.

It can be said that the real combat power of the Turkic wolf tent has long been almost dead, and now that the city gate has been smashed open, how can the Turks still have the power to resist.

In just ten minutes, the entire royal city, except for the palace in the middle, Li Yan has not led people to enter, and those guards elsewhere in the city have been completely emptied.

Moreover, in addition to these guards, many Turkic nobles were captured alive.

"Ge Dahai, take someone to repair it, close it tightly, don't let go of any Turks, others, follow me into the palace!"

Now that the overall situation has been decided, according to the interrogation of other Turkic nobles just now, Li Yan already knows that Jieli Khan is in the palace!

After entering the palace and searching closely for a few minutes, and then emptying the remaining guards in the palace, Li Yan led his men to surround the palace of Jieli Khan.

With a bang, the door of the dormitory was kicked open.

Jieli Khan got up with a frightened face and looked at the Tang army that had entered this place.

"Who are you? Dare to enter the palace of Ben Khan! Do you want to die? ”

Jieli Khan was still unaware of the situation and was screaming angrily.

On the side, Princess Yicheng on the bed was only confused for a few seconds, and when she saw that the person who entered was a Tang person, she guessed something.

She silently wrapped up the futon and waited for the final ending.
