"Boss, the tribal alliance of the Mobei Grassland has reached thirty miles outside the city, and the army led by General Cheng is only a hundred miles away from us."

"There are more than 18,000 Turks, and this should be the entire combat strength of the Mobei Grassland today."

Zhang Dazhu reported the situation to Li Yan, and now the changes in the battle situation have been going in the direction that Li Yan expects.

The only suspense now is whether they can form a real flanking attack with the 30,000-strong army and annihilate the living forces of the Mobei grassland in one fell swoop.

You must know that now ninety percent of the combat power of the entire Mobei grassland is here, and the Turks have only so many male combat power left after experiencing the winter snow disaster.

"Got it, send someone to inform General Cheng that the army is marching at full speed, the Turks will inevitably explore the situation in the royal city within an hour, and a war must start within two hours."

Li Yan's order was quickly passed to Cheng Yanjin by Zhou Cheng and Zhang Qiang, and by the time they met Cheng Yanjin, the Turkic army had once again marched about ten miles in the direction of Wangcheng.

……

In the Turkic army, the faces of the leaders of the various tribes were quite ugly.

They were so high-spirited before they survived the winter, but they were caught off guard by the Tang army before they had time to recuperate after experiencing a snow disaster.

In their eyes, this is an absolute disgrace.

"What's wrong with Khan? Why haven't you stood up and commanded the counterattack until now? Now our strength is only about half of the Tang Army! ”

One of the leaders was the first to lose his breath, and he looked at the royal city in the distance, always feeling that something was wrong.

"He is not worthy to be a Khan! We might as well feel that we are evacuating to the west, and it is a big deal that we will go directly to Xue Yantuo! ”

"Can you run, what about your tribe? Now the entire tribe of Mobei has fallen into the hands of the Tang Army! ”

"We must find the Khan, we must counterattack back! Tang Jun? I can fight ten Turkic sons and daughters! ”

The opinions of the leaders of the various tribes were obviously divided, and some of them seemed to have sensed their own decline and already had the idea of defecting to Xue Yantuo, but the current mainstream idea was still to hurry to the royal city, and according to the strength of the royal city, they could still have a chance of fighting with the Tang army.

"The Tang army is marching at full speed, and it is less than seventy miles away from us!"

Suddenly, a steppe man galloping from the rear reported the military situation loudly, and they had reached the point of life and death.

Now is not the time to shake the pot, although it is true that they were unable to get the commander of the king's tent in the first place, which led to a certain degree of being broken by the Tang army one by one, but the war is urgent, and they cannot be allowed to think nonsense.

"Something is wrong, stop first!"

Suddenly, the leader of one of the tribes realized that something was wrong, and quickly stopped the rapid advance of the Turkic procession, and now they were less than five miles away from the royal city, and they could already faintly see something in the distance.

"Send someone to the king's tent to inquire, if there is no abnormality, we will get closer to the king's city."

At the moment of life and death, the IQ of this group of Turkic leaders was back online, and they were afraid that something would be abnormal in the royal city.

In this way, a cavalry squad of about twenty men rushed out of the ranks and headed straight for the king's tent.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the king's tent, and they could clearly feel that the atmosphere of the king's tent was different from usual.

Under normal circumstances, they should be less than a mile away from the king's tent and would be stopped by the royal court guards for questioning.

But now they were all at the door of the king's tent, and there was not a single figure to be seen!

After several Turks bravely touched the king's tent, they were suddenly terrified!

The scene in this king's tent is almost the same as the situation of the Ashina tribe, and there are corpses piled up in each tent, but the corpses in the king's tent are more neat.

"It's not good, hurry up, the Tang people have already hit this side, maybe there are Tang people in the city!"

They are considered scouts of the Turks, and they already have a certain sense of battlefield.

They looked at the dark and tall wall not far from the king's tent, and before they knew it, they smelled the smell of extreme danger.

Li Yan, who was hiding in the shadows of the city wall and observing the movements of the Turks, saw this situation, and couldn't help but secretly say that it was a pity.

If the Turks were reckless, close to the walls, they would be able to give the Turks a few volleys with the large number of arrows they had scavenged from the city, causing them to lose their numbers at the first time.

Of course, it didn't matter if the Turks were vigilant, Li Yan still had a way to tempt them to come.

"Bring the Khan of Jieli and tie it up and hang it on the wall."

"Open the gates!"

Li Yan tidied up his armor, took Fang Tian's halberd, stepped on the city wall, and jumped directly.

With a bang, Li Yan fell heavily to the ground.

Such a picture, the soldiers on guard in the city are simply not too familiar!

At the beginning of the Fengzhou Garrison Battle, Li Yan jumped off the city wall in this way, and single-handedly took the city gate, and simply defeated the Turks, thus laying the crushing situation of the Monan battlefield after the beginning of spring this year.

Obviously, Li Yan intends to reproduce the original battle this time.

Li Yancai didn't believe that he would not be able to tempt these Turks by opening the city gates!

All he had to do was give this group of Turks a hope, a hope to turn defeat into victory.

Between turning defeat into victory and being turned into an inferior tribe by Xue Yantuo, the Turks would never hesitate.

The movement on the side of the city gate naturally attracted the group of Turks who were probing at the king's tent, and they all turned their eyes to Li Yan's body.

"This marshal is the marshal of the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, and this city is led by Ben Shuai to capture the ...... with more than 1,000 cavalry."

"The one hanging on the city wall is your Jieli Khan, and the Tuli Khan of the Ashina tribe was also killed by Ben Shuai......"

"The shame of the Weishui River in the past, Datang will repay it today!"

"If you know the current affairs, you can put down your weapons and surrender to my Tang Dynasty......"

"Ben Shuai's words are placed here, even if I open the city gate and defend the city with a thousand cavalry today, it will never be possible for you to enter this city in the slightest!"

Li Yan directly exposed his old bottom and clearly told the Turks that they were short of troops.

This is a conspiracy, an undisguised agitation.

"Hurry back and report it!"

The group of Turks in charge of the investigation trembled with anger when they heard Li Yan's shout.

But his own khan was hung on the city wall in such an embarrassment, like a lost dog, losing his dignity.

"A thousand cavalry defending the city? The marshal of the Tang Dynasty? ”

Li Yan's words were quickly reached in the ears of the leaders of the Turkic tribes.

They looked at Jieli Khan on the city wall from a distance, and then glanced at the wide-open city gate from a distance, and Li Yan who was guarding the city gate alone, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

"Let's withdraw, go to Xue Yantuo......"

"No! Jieli Khan is still hanging on the city wall, this is an insult to my steppe people! ”

"Capture this city, tie up that marshal, and force the Tang army to retreat!"

"Why should a thousand cavalry defend the city? Let's siege! ”

The Turks were divided again, but it was obvious that there were many main fighters, and few were willing to defect to Xue Yantuo.

A few minutes later, the open gate made the flames in the hearts of the Turks grow stronger.

Finally, with an order, the Turks began to storm!

"Rush! Capture the Tang Marshal alive! ”
