Chapter 865: 900,000 troops are coming to the city

Tuli asked.

Li Chengqian said softly: "Wait! ”

"Wait? What if they come again? ”

"No, they were scared by us, at least until Jieli arrived, they didn't dare to come anymore."

"Oh?"

"What? Don't believe me? ”

"No, no, no, I'm just curious, why does the Prince's Palace know."

"That's because they've suffered a lot of losses, and if they come back, they'll only die even worse, what would they do if it were you?"

"Then what will happen again?"

"We already know about their existence, do they still dare?"

Tuli thought for a while and said, "Don't you dare, so do you have to wait for tomorrow?" ”

"There is nothing wrong with that, only tomorrow, we will survive a little longer, and when my army arrives, it will be when they fail."

"How many people did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bring?"

Tuli finally asked.

Before, he didn't know how many people Li Chengqian had brought.

"Three thousand!"

"Three thousand?"

"No, three thousand Tang Iron Cavalry can kill two thousand enemies per round!"

When Tuli heard this, he was a little incredulous, after all, how fast it must be to kill 2,000 people in a round with 3,000 people.

Li Chengqian knew that he didn't believe it, and he didn't explain too much.

"You'll know when you see it."

"In this way, only when the time comes, let's take a look at the power of the Datang Iron Horse!"

Tuli said.

At this time, another spy came to report.

"Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Khan!"

"What?"

The conversation was interrupted.

Li Chengqian asked.

"Eighty miles away, I found Jieli coming with a large army."

This news is nothing less than huge news.

Tuli asked, "How many of them are there?" ”

The soldier replied:

"About half a million people!"

500,000 people, which made Detuli gasp, that is not a small number.

However, in Li Chengqian's view, these are indeed a lot less, and according to the information he has received, it is in the millions.

It's half less, and that's good.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, eighty miles away, that means that in less than two hours, they will definitely be outside our West Gate."

"Tell the way down, and set up a large number of repulsive horses outside the four gates to meet the incoming enemy!"

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Tuli didn't ask why, and went straight down to do it.

Because Li Chengqian must have his own way to do this.

And so he waited two more hours, and by this time it was already dawn.

When the sun rose, you could see many corpses lying on the ground in the distance.

There were also a large number of trebuchets, ballista carts, storming carts, ladders, etc., which were shattered to the ground.

And the potholes, all the traces of shells.

The scene was shocking.

People didn't realize it was going to be so intense last night.

I didn't expect yesterday's artillery to cause such a huge amount of damage.

It really caught people by surprise.

At this time, Li Chengqian and Tuli were on top of the city tower, holding binoculars and looking into the distance.

As far as they could see, he saw twenty miles away, where the enemy was encamped, smoke curling.

At this time, someone came up and reported: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Khan!" After our reckoning, the enemy lost last night, and tonight was wounded, and countless people were wounded. Among them, nearly 1,000 siege weapons such as catapults and ballista carts were lost. ”

After hearing this, Tuli was very proud, and it was all Li Chengqian's help that he could achieve such results.

Then he asked Li Chengqian: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you see if we take advantage of the victory to pursue, and take advantage of Jieli's not coming, we will directly expel them from my border!" ”

Li Chengqian said: "It's not good! ”

"Why?"

"It's easy! If our Zhenguan Divine Cannon is unprotected, it is extremely vulnerable. The man who wielded the cannon would be wiped out if he was attacked at close quarters, and you think, once our 200 cannons left the city, they would lose their protection. We can't afford all this loss! Without such a powerful weapon, we will be defeated badly, and we will have to use the existing strength in the city to resist the Jieli, do you think your 100,000 men are enough? ”

Tuli nodded yes.

Li Chengqian didn't say anything more, but looked through the binoculars, and he saw that there was an army converging on the enemy's camp in the boundless.

At the same time, the spies came to report.

"Report!"

"What?"

"The Jieli army is converging, they are coming, this time the number is 800,000!"

"What!"

800,000 people?

Li Chengqian looked closely, at this time, they were twenty miles away from the West Gate, and if they were allowed to gather, then they might attack at any time.

So, he can't sit still.

Then he shouted: "So the cannon is ready!" Deliver the north and south cannons to the west gate! Be quick! This king limits you to half a stick of incense time! Got it? ”

At this time, Tuli came out and said, "Let me go!" ”

"Good work!"

Tuli then went down and made preparations.

Such a total of 900,000 people, and the previous news, that is not a joke, although Tuli is also drawing soldiers, but it would be good if they could gather 200,000 people, and they can't come in time, when they come, it will be two days later, so what else to fight with Jieli?

Therefore, all this has to be handled by Li Chengqian.

Tuli and the people of the entire Northern Capital have reason to believe that Li Chengqian will definitely be able to.

It took about five minutes or so.

Su Lie, Cheng Chumo, and Yu Chi Baolin, together with the Tuli Khan, came to the west gate, and the hundred cannons they brought were also propped up.

Everything is waiting for Li Chengqian's order.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we are ready!"

"Very good, this time we must catch them off guard and let them know that we are good!"

Li Chengqian put down the binoculars and said.

Behind him were two hundred cannons, which were being propped up to the west.

"Su Lie!"

"In!"

"Attack twenty miles to the west! It's up to you to command! ”

"Yes!"

"Listen, the archers, the ballista carts, and the trebuchets are ready, and if an enemy rushes at them, they will not return!"

"Yes!"

These things ensure safety within 100 meters, 300 meters, and 500 meters respectively.

They are the main means of attack when the enemy breaks through the artillery attack.

Of course, there is also the presence of a rejection horse in the nearest place, which is a defense line of nearly fifty meters.

The most recent ones are the Rolling Logs, which are the lines of defense at a range of zero meters.

After that, it's basically a matter of individual ability, because the enemy may go up to the wall.

But after this series of actions, how many enemies will be left?

It's very few.

At that time, the enemy will naturally retreat as well.

Li Chengqian didn't just let them retreat, he wanted Jieli's head, and the entire Turkic territory!
