The morning sun is rising, and the breeze is gentle.

On the south gate of the city, the atmosphere is like a tense bowstring.

After breakfast at the head of the city, Temur and the defenders gathered here.

At this moment, Temur's expression was solemn, his iron fist was clenched, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and he saw the Tang army coming from the south gate.

The shadow of the Tang army was getting closer and closer, and it reached a place more than ten miles away from the south gate, and somehow, the huge Tang army suddenly stopped advancing.

This made Temur's face gloomy, and he couldn't guess what was going on in front of him.

He was afraid, afraid that his deployment would leak out in advance and reach the ears of Lin Kaiyue and the others, so that the plan would be in vain before it was implemented.

After careful observation for a long time, the Tang army in front still did not move, not only Temur was worried, but the deputy general and defenders next to him gradually became anxious.

They only had 5,000 elite soldiers to defend the city, and if the Tang army did not know their plan, they could still lure the king into the urn and attack the other party by surprise.

Once the Tang Army discovers their plan and makes targeted deployments, how to block the Tang Army's edge.

The defenders of the south gate were nervous, clutching the hilt of their swords, panicking.

When he was young, the adjutant general couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "General, could it be that our plan has been leaked?" ”

Whether the plan was leaked in advance, Timur did not dare to make a decision on his own.

At this time, he couldn't guess what was going on in the Tang army, but after experiencing strong winds and waves, even if he suspected that his plan might be leaked, his face was still very calm.

His eyes swept over the soldiers of the Quartet, and he whispered to the adjutant general: "Don't think wildly, grow the morale of others to destroy your own prestige, no matter whether the Tang army discovers our plan or not, everyone must cheer up, take a step back and say, even if the Tang army discovers our plan, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, should we abandon the city and flee?" ”

Willing to dare to pull the emperor off the horse!

In this battle, Temur was determined to die, and prepared to burn the city with fire and turn the surrendered city into the tomb of the Tang army.

Hearing this, the adjutant general bowed slightly, exhaled a long breath, turned to the worried defender next to him and said, "All cheer up to prevent the Tang army from sneaking attack." ”

As he spoke, Temur turned his head to look south, and suddenly found that the Tang army in front of him had stopped moving forward, and suddenly it seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulus, like a crazy bull running, and the army was moving forward in unison, and the speed of the march seemed to be faster than before.

Like an out-of-control torrent, trying to submerge the surrendered city.

"When the Tang army came, everyone cheered up and acted according to the plan." When the Tang army came, Timur was overjoyed, raised his sharpened mace, and roared with all his might, reminding the three armies of war.

Above the south gate, the cautious and frightened soldiers heard the sound and also noticed the torrent of steel rolling in the south, and one by one did not dare to relax at all, and the forward defenders clenched their long knives, quickly drew arrows from the arrow basket, and put them on their longbows, ready to block the incoming enemy.

In the aisle, some soldiers quickly adjusted the direction of the spears in the bed crossbow, just waiting for the Tang army to come, and Temur issued a military order.

Spears fire in unison, shoot the incoming enemy.

About half a cup of tea, the dust in the south of the city was secret, the iron cavalry was rolling, and Guo Xiaocai led the Xiaocai battalion to arrive at the place of yesterday's siege in advance.

At the sound of an order, the elite cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion stopped moving forward, and on the contrary, the rear soldiers bravely jumped off their horses and set up catapults, preparing to shake the sky and thunder, and the divine fire and flying crows.

The forward cavalry, formed into a shield array, an arrow array, attacked in advance, and launched an offensive against the defenders at the south gate.

Seeing that the cavalry battalion stopped to prepare for battle, the forward cavalry did not rest, and immediately rode to attack, and the adjutant general shouted coldly: "General, Guo Xiaocai led the army to repeat the old tricks, I am afraid that he is preparing to continue to consume the vitality of our army, this move is really insidious, and his heart can be punished." ”

Today, their purpose is to try to attract the Tang army into the city, relying on the dry firewood and fire oil hidden in the city in advance, and with the help of the terrain in the city, they strive to lead the army to destroy the other party.

However, what the Tang army is doing at present is clearly preparing to set off a strong wave of onslaught like yesterday, and after consuming the vital strength of the defenders, it will lead the army away.

If they can't attract the Tang army into the city, all the deployments will be wasted like castles in the air and duckweed on the water.

"Don't be impatient, we will retreat to attract the Tang army into the city, as long as Guo Xiaoqi has the idea of recovering the surrendered city, he will not be allowed to break the city without leading the army!" Temur was confident that his plan would succeed.

In the end, he was able to teach the Tang army a hard lesson and avenge the tribesmen who died in the southern Xinjiang in the past.

Moreover, there are only 5,000 elites in the south gate, and they can't hold the city no matter what.

Once they led the army to evacuate, the defense of the south gate was empty, and the Tang army did not break into the city and take the opportunity to recover the surrendered city?

He didn't believe that Guo Xiaoqi, Lin Kaiyue, and Zhang Shaoming would be stupid enough to miss the opportunity.

When Guo Xiao led the troops to attack the south gate, Zhang Shaoming and Lin Kaiyue led the army to come.

The two armies are still in the same place they were yesterday, as if they are ready to watch a good show, and as if they are ready to continue the wheel tactics.

Everything was ready, Guo Xiao raised his saber and shouted: "Catapult, earth-shaking thunder, cover the crossbowmen, shoot, shoot." ”

5,000 shield soldiers, 10,000 archers, and 10,000 slingers, suddenly hearing the military order, made a drum like a tiger, and slammed the city more and more vigorously, wanting to completely destroy the defenders at the head of the city.

In the blink of an eye, the battle at the south gate of the city broke out again, the sound of killing rumbled, the arrows buzzed, the earth-shattering thunder exploded, and the huge sound of the boulder falling to the ground came and went.

As soon as the war began, the offensive of both sides was in full swing and unstoppable.

After the cavalry, Zhang Shaoming and Lin Kaiyue sat on horseback, looking at the south gate with their eyes.

Before they came, they learned in advance that Yi Ran, King Zuogu Li, and Su Li led the main force in the city to evacuate silently all night, and vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the Turkic defenders.

In particular, Zhang Shaoming was in awe of Yiran's sudden withdrawal of troops, and was very suspicious that the Turks were secretly preparing and that there were unspeakable secrets behind the withdrawal.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the south gate of the city, hoping to make some discoveries by observing the changes in the defenders of the city, so as to make targeted deployments.

On the south gate, when the cavalry army went forward to attack the city, Temur led the army to defend it to the death and block it desperately.

Although the number of defenders was scarce, they were all the elite selected by Temur from the army, and they did not dare to say that there was no problem with one against ten and one against three.

What's more, the defenders are ready to live and die with the city with the heart of death, and teach the Tang army a hard lesson.

Therefore, this army, despite its small number, did not flinch without flinching under the onslaught of the Don army.

As soon as the battle began, their return fire was very fierce, as if they were fighting to the death with the Tang army.

"General Lin, this army led by Timur is very unusual, its combat effectiveness seems to be very strong, and its will to fight is also strong!" Zhang Shaoming observed little and quickly came to a conclusion.
