Chapter 388: It's hard to tell friend from foe

Yellow dust flies, covering the sky and the sun.

Outside Xizhou City, at the end of the connection between heaven and earth, a small black dot gradually appeared, and there were more and more black dots, such as Wanchuan entering the sea, and gradually converging into a black cloud.

Li Su stood at the head of the city, his face became whiter and paler, and after being stunned for a moment, he suddenly turned around and shouted at Jiang Quan under the city tower: "Jiang Quan! Immediately close the city gates, no one is allowed to go out of the city, and the soldiers go up to the city tower to prepare for battle! ”

Jiang Quan, who was planning to go out of the city to fight the enemy head-on, was stunned for a moment, heard that Li Su's voice was wrong, and knew that the situation had changed, so he hurriedly led the soldiers to rush to the city, stared into the distance, and saw the black cloud that seemed to emerge from hell, Jiang Quan's face also changed.

"The alliance of the Western Regions has arrived?" Jiang Quan said in a trembling voice.

Li Su said in a deep voice: "They are definitely coming for Xizhou, but I don't know which country they are soldiers and horses of the Western Regions." ”

Jiang Quan said with a cold expression: "No matter which country's soldiers and horses, I'm afraid that those who come are not good." ”

Li Su smiled, it was very strange that he could still laugh at this time.

"I came all the way to Xizhou, probably not for our birthday......"

The black cloud in the distance was not only seen by Li Su and Jiang Quan, but also by the defenders and soldiers at the head of the city and the people and men who carried the ordnance.

The crowd suddenly stirred, and everyone had a look of doomsday despair on their faces, watching the black cloud get closer and closer to the city.

"What are you doing? All troops on alert! Jiang Quan roared angrily.

The soldiers hurriedly began to wipe their weapons and collect arrows, and the people also carried pieces of rolling logs and stones to the city.

The crowd was busy, but the atmosphere was getting more and more sluggish, Li Su watched all this quietly, and even he, the chief officer guarding the city, couldn't help but hesitate, thinking about whether to escape. If there is a coalition of Western Regions countries coming in front of him, then this Xizhou city will not be able to defend it no matter what, but it is better to take the initiative to abandon it, and it would be a stupid and meaningless struggle for him to defend and martyrdom.

While hesitating, Li Su casually looked under the city wall. This glance made Li Su stunned.

Originally, I thought that the Gaochang enemy army who was digging the wall below should shout happily at this moment, after all, their army had arrived, and Xizhou was already in the pocket of the countries of the Western Regions, but now the reaction of the enemy soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom under the city wall was very strange.

The digging of the wall stopped, and everyone poked their heads out of the strange iron triangle, staring blankly at the black clouds that swept in the distance, looking suspicious and even a little frightened.

Li Su's heartbeat quickened in vain.

At this moment, countless speculations flashed through my mind, judging by the reaction of the enemy troops under the city walls. Li Su suddenly had an incredible thought......

Maybe...... The black cloud in the distance is not the alliance of the Western Regions?

After the thought was cleared, Li Su looked into the distance again and gradually realized that something was wrong.

The black cloud was getting closer and closer to Xizhou City, and when they got closer, they could probably see clearly, their number was not large, only about a thousand people, but the distance between the teams was wide when they ran on camels, so from a distance, it looked like thousands of troops and horses. And if most of the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions are gathered, it will definitely be more than the current number.

Thinking and suspicious. Heiyun was only about three or four miles away from Xizhou City, and at this moment, Jiang Quan at the head of the city also saw that something was wrong, and exclaimed: "Don't drive, the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions will not only have such a little ......."

Before he finished speaking, seeing the strange expression on Li Su's face, Jiang Quan was stunned for a moment. Then he turned from surprise to joy, and said loudly: "They are not the Western Regions Alliance!" ”

Li Su said coldly: "Whether it is a coalition army or not, it depends on who they regard as an enemy after they arrive in the city, and it is too early to judge whether they are friends or enemies at this time." ”

Between words. The cavalry that suddenly appeared from afar was only two miles away from the city, and Li Su could even vaguely see that they were wearing strange robes, loosely and unruly wrapped around their bodies, and some simply showed their smooth upper bodies, galloping with long scimitars, looking like they were dressed as Turks.

Li Su's eyelids jumped violently a few times, and then showed an increasingly strange expression.

Under the suspicious gaze of both the enemy and us under the city of Xizhou, the thousand-man Turkic cavalry suddenly separated from the left and right when they were about a mile away from the city wall, and the thousand-man cavalry turned into two teams of five hundred people in an orderly manner, and then one left and one right suddenly increased their speed, and the target was ...... It actually pointed directly at the Chinese army camp of the enemy army of Gaochang State outside the city!

Both the attacking and defending sides of the city wall were stunned, and this strange cavalry team actually chose to help the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and launched an offensive charge against the enemy army of Gaochang State with murderous spirit.

"Friend or foe! Haha, friend or foe! Jiang Quan stood in front of the tower and laughed.

Outside the city, the large camp of the Chinese army of Gaochang was stunned by this sudden change, and watched the Turkic cavalry rushing towards their side, the enemy army in Gaochang immediately reacted, and then the Chinese army was in chaos.

No one expected such a dramatic scene, no one was recruited, no one was provoked, I just wanted to be a quiet siege man, but suddenly there was a change, disaster fell from the sky, and I was inexplicably attacked by a sudden Turkic attack, the lord of Gaochang will be kind-hearted, and sigh at the same time that he is ill-fated, he immediately sent an order to Mingjin, called back the soldiers who were digging the city wall, and hurriedly faced the Turkic cavalry to form a defensive formation.

The Turkic cavalry did not slow down until they reached within 100 zhang, but accelerated more and more, and the lord of Gaochang finally gave up, he knew that the Turks were really coming straight at him.

When the main general was red-faced and red-eared and shouted the order, the Turkic cavalry outflanked from the flanks from the left and the right, and killed like a lightning speed, and the left and right sides of Gaochangguo responded, and the two armies collided fiercely together from the east and west directions at the same time, and then the roar of the Gaochangguo Central Army came from the sky.

At the head of the city of Xizhou, the soldiers and men defending the city saw this situation, knowing that the battle situation was beginning to turn in their favor, and they couldn't help but burst into huge cheers, and everyone on the city head hugged each other and celebrated loudly.

"Li Beijia, this is a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the last general will ask for battle, lead the troops out of the city, and completely annihilate the enemy of Gaochang Kingdom!" Jiang Quan hugged his fists excitedly.

The strange thing is that Li Su has never shown a happy expression, his brows are twisted deeper and deeper, and his eyes are staring at the Turkic cavalry fighting with Gaochang in the distance without blinking.

"Don't drive Lee!"

Seeing that Li Su did not react for a long time, Jiang Quan urged urgently.

Li Su came back to his senses, glanced at him lightly, and said, "The whole army is on guard, and you are not allowed to go out of the city!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Quanleng froze, and then his face quickly turned red: "Why?" ”

Li Su didn't want to explain, because he was lazy, too lazy to spend saliva, but in addition to Jiang Quan, a group of soldiers around him also looked at him, if he didn't come up with a reason, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to convince the public, so Li Su had to say patiently: "Look at that cavalry, do you see it?" They are Turkic......"

Jiang Quan anxiously glanced at the battlefield in the distance, and the excellent fighter plane was delayed by Li Su's slow and methodical past, and he was suddenly in a hurry.

"This is the Western Regions, there are everyone, what's wrong with the Turks?"

Li Su glared at him and said: "General Jiang, if you have a good memory, you should know that Xizhou City has experienced four foreign enemy sieges, and every time it reaches a critical juncture, there will always be a group of Turkic cavalry for some reason, about thousands of people, and the enemy will be defeated at the right time, and then hide in the vast desert without a trace......"

Jiang Quan's expression was finally no longer anxious, but looked at Li Su in surprise, and then turned his head to look at the Turkic cavalry fighting with the enemy army in Gaochang in the distance......

"What do you mean by Li Beijia, they ......" Jiang Quan suddenly stammered a little.

Li Su also stared at the two sides in the middle of the fierce battle in the distance, and said expressionlessly: "This Turkic cavalry is indeed helping the Tang Dynasty to defend Xizhou, and it is also helping the Tang Dynasty resist foreign enemies, but it can't be concluded that they are not enemies because of this move!" We can't trust anyone until we find out their details, and once we take a wrong step, we will lose the city! We are guarding the border city for the Tang Dynasty, helpless and helpless for thousands of miles, we are just a lone army, guarding a lonely city, no one can believe it except ourselves! ”

Jiang Quan was awe-inspired, nodded hurriedly, and the soldiers around him who were not very convinced suddenly understood what Li Su meant, and pondered carefully, what Li Su said did make sense, opening the city gate and attacking the enemy army in Gaochang with the Turkic cavalry seemed to be a logical thing, but if this mysterious Turkic cavalry had a different mind, as soon as the city gate was opened, the defenders would come out, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"So, let's ...... now," Jiang Quan scratched his head.

Li Su smiled and said, "Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, there will be a result today." ”

As he spoke, the battlefield outside the city had changed.

The Turkic cavalry outflanked the left and right, like two sharp knives from both sides of the flanks straight into the middle of the army, like cutting a cake to cut the Gaochang enemy army camp from the middle, and then in the middle of the army formation, after the merger, the thousand cavalry quickly divided into four teams, respectively to the southeast, northwest and four directions straight out, a complete cake was suddenly cut by the Turkic cavalry, Gaochang enemy morale was greatly lost, immediately showed the trend of rout.

Li Su stood on the city tower and watched the battle, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.

This mysterious Turkic cavalry is not only amazing, but also the tactics and tactics are more sophisticated and skillful, well versed in the way of using troops, it is hard to imagine that an extraterritorial barbarian cavalry can use such exquisite tactics, if it was this cavalry that attacked the city yesterday, I am afraid that Xizhou has long been lost, if they are really the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, this enemy is much more terrible than Gaochangguo.

Jiang Quan was also stunned on the side, for a long time, and muttered: "Damn, where did this group of demons come from?" The tactics are so ......."

As the Chinese army was cut into chaos by the Turkic cavalry, the morale of Gaochang was also rapidly declining, and finally someone rode a camel to the depths of the desert outside the Chinese army and fled in panic, with the first person who fled, there was a second person and a third person immediately, and finally, the enemy army of Gaochang was defeated on all fronts.
