After paddling on the lake for nearly half an hour, Li Yaoji's arm was sore, and he couldn't die in his body. However, Fifth Yao and Xiaoxuan were also satisfied, and Li Yaoyu rowed to the shore.

"Your physical strength is too poor." Fifth Yao said lightly.

"Just kidding, I don't know how good my physical strength is at night!" Li Yaojian was not convinced.

Fifth Yao and Xiao Xuan were a little embarrassed when they heard this, and Fifth Yao made a gesture to pinch him.

"Haha." Li Yaowei laughed, jumped to Xiao Xuan's side like a rabbit, and pulled Xiao Xuan's body to block the fifth Yao.

Different from the beautiful scenery of Chang'an, Lingzhou, which is more than 700 miles away from Chang'an, is filled with gunsmoke, the sound of killing is shocking, and the swords and guns are dazzling. There are no birds here, only arrows; There are no flowers and plants, only swords; There is no lake, only blood. The gate of Lingzhou City was closed, and there were wooden barriers, sandbags and other war fortifications piled up outside the gate. Outside the door was a vast clearing, the ground had been stained red with blood, and the corpses of the soldiers were laid bare, and their bodies were covered with arrows. Weapons were scattered on the ground. Behind the fortress made of dirt, soldiers armed with spears and wooden shields were waiting for the general's orders.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were armed with bows and arrows, and the arrows were on the string, waiting for the enemy to show their heads......

In their respective camps, the medical officer and Lang Zhong were treating and bandaging the scarred soldiers, and just after a batch of bandages, another group of wounded people would be carried in. The soldiers with severed arms and legs, the screams of ghosts and wolves, and the pungent smell of medicine made these tents very terrifying.

In Lingzhou City, two mighty men wearing bright light armor and Tang swords at their waists were looking at the battle map hanging on the wall and talking.

"The northern gate is the main offensive direction of the Turks, and the other three directions are less intrusive." It was Li Daozong who spoke, the governor of Lingzhou, Li Yuan's cousin, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, who followed Li Shimin to fight in all directions, and was named "King of Rencheng" by Li Yuan!

Zhang Jin, the head of the march of the reinforcements, nodded: "But don't slacken, the Turks are bound to win this battle, and they will not give up easily." ”

"Lingzhou has been defending for nearly 20 days, although it is still unbreakable, but the soldiers are tired, and the grain and grass are about to run out."

"Brother Dao Sect don't worry, the supply of grain and grass is already on the way. Presumably it will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Zhang Jin said.

"I hope so." Li Daozong sighed, "What is the current battle situation in Shuozhou?" ”

Zhang Jin replied: "Brother Daozong, rest assured, my other half of the soldiers and horses are defending Shuozhou, and the Turks will not be able to break through in a short time. ”

"Report!" A soldier entered, got down on one knee and threw his hands over.

"What?" Li Daozong spoke.

"The Turkic Jieli Khan shouted, and asked the governor to go to the city tower." Soldier report.

Li Daozong frowned, "What does he want to do?" ”

"This person is scheming, I'm afraid he has a ghost in his heart." Zhang Jin lowered his head, pinched his chin and said.

"It's okay, I'll meet him." Li Daozong said in a deep voice.

……

"Li Daozong!" The sturdy, fleshy-faced Jieli Khan rode on horseback, surrounded by shield-wielding guards. As soon as Li Daozong appeared in the tower of the north gate of Lingzhou, Jieli Khan opened his mouth and shouted: "This king has galloped on the battlefield for so many years, attacked countless cities, and met and killed countless famous generals. Do you dare to go out of the city today and fight me to the death! ”

Jieli Khan's loud voice passed through the empty battlefield and reached the ears of everyone on the Lingzhou city wall. All the generals and soldiers of the entire battlefield focused their eyes on Li Daozong, and his decision would affect the situation on the entire battlefield and the fate of Lingzhou.

Li Daozong shook his head and shouted loudly: "Jieli Khan, my task is only to defend the city, and the decisive battle will be left for later!" ”

His task was simply to defend the city and wait for further reinforcements from the emperor. The Turks are menacing, but the supplies can't keep up, and they, behind them are the motherland, there will be a steady stream of food and grass and soldiers to make up, he just needs to defend the city, and the fool will go out to fight him.

"As the governor of the city, the prince of Rencheng, are you so cowardly? Or are you afraid of losing to me, and your reputation will no longer be known? "Jieli Khan used the method of agitation.

Li Daozong has experienced a hundred battles, how could he be so easily provoked and deceived? Then he smiled, "Idiot! ”

"Haha!" When the soldiers on the city wall of Lingzhou heard Li Daozong's words, they immediately burst into laughter. But he was also relieved, for fear that Li Daozong would be impulsive and be stimulated by Jieli Khan, so he ignored the battle situation and opened the door for a decisive battle.

The Turkic army, on the other hand, held back their laughter and trembled like a sieve, for fear that they would die if they laughed.

The horizontal flesh on Jieli Khan's face was trembling with anger.

Shout something, it means, if you accept it, you will come out to fight, if you don't accept it, you will say that you don't accept it, why scold?

Jieli Khan was furious and roared angrily: "Originally, I wanted to break through Lingzhou and leave you a way to live, but today you only have one way to die!" ”

"Rush!" Jieli Khan drew his sword, pointed at the gate of Lingzhou, and issued the order to attack! The Turkic army, the siege troops, jumped out of the fortress one after another, carrying shields and siege logs, pressing towards the city gates. The troops covering were the soldiers who carved their bows and shot sharp arrows at the city walls of Lingzhou.

"Come on." Li Daozong opened his mouth lightly and waved his hand, and the soldiers on the city wall received the order of the governor, and their arrows were sharp! Suddenly, the dense rain of arrows made the sky dark, and the battlefield of Xiao Su was full of murderous energy!

"Woohoo!" The arrows fell on the Turkic army as if it were pouring rain, some of them were blocked by shields, and some of them were submerged in the bodies of the Turkic soldiers......

For a time, this battlefield, the sound of shouting and killing, screaming, and breaking the air were mixed into a cruel and sad war song......

……

The remnant sun is like blood, reflecting on this land, making the blood on the ground more and more red, and the shields and swords are scattered on the red land, which looks like a bloody drift. War, it's always so cruel.

It was getting late, and Jieli Khan withdrew his troops and retreated to the camp.

Today's wave has been successfully defended. "Stay on guard." Li Daozong instructed his subordinates, then turned around and went home.

The same thing happened outside the city gate of Shuozhou. For more than ten days, day and night, the Turkic army seemed to be tireless, swarming, and the soldiers defending the city repelled a wave of them, and half an hour later another wave came......

In the camp tent of the Turkic army, Jieli Khan, who was sitting on a wolf's skin chair, was sulking, Lingzhou and Shuozhou could not be attacked for a long time, and the army's spirit was unstable, and today he was actually humiliated by Li Daozong, and the more he thought about it, the more he slammed his wine glass on the ground. "grandma's!"

"Your Majesty Khan, our soldiers and horses have been reduced too much, and Shuozhou has been unable to attack for a long time, and the grain and grass have almost run out. I'm afraid it won't last long. The advisor spoke cautiously.

Jieli Khan closed his eyes, gasped, and did not speak for a long time, and the group of generals and advisers below were trembling, and they did not dare to come out.

After a long time, Jieli Khan opened his eyes as deep as an eagle and slowly spit out, a simple sentence, as if he had taken out the strength of his whole body.

"Withdraw your troops."
