The sky was overcast.

In the afternoon of this day, Jieli Khan finally came to the bank of the Weishui River with 100,000 soldiers and horses.

After Jieli Khan came to the bank of the Weishui River, he did not rush to cross the river, but stood on the edge of the river and looked at the Tang army.

The Don army did not line up, as if expecting that they would not cross the river.

But it is obvious that the Tang army is ready again, as long as their side makes the intention of crossing the river, the Tang army will immediately rush over.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Jieli Khan's mouth.

It was late today, and even if they could get through, it would be dark, and it would be very unfavorable for them to fight at that time.

Therefore, after seeing it like this, Jieli Khan did not rush to cross the river.

"Order the soldiers, set up camp, and cross the river early tomorrow morning!"

The order of Jieli Khan was soon given, and the sky became more and more gloomy, as if a heavy rain was coming.

The Turkic military camp looked desolate.

When dusk came, it rained on the banks of the Weishui River.

It was the first rain of the summer, not very heavy, but it swept away the heat.

Jieli Khan sat in the big tent in the army, planning how to cross the river tomorrow, how to capture Li Shimin alive after crossing the river, and so on.

And while they were chatting like this, one of the guards hurried in.

"Your Majesty the Khan, it's not a good thing."

Jieli Khan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I just got the news, on the bank of the Weishui River, reinforcements from the Tang Army seem to be coming."

"Reinforcements from the Don Army?" Jieli Khan frowned and said, "The soldiers and horses of the vassal kings from all walks of life?" ”

Now the reinforcements that Chang'an can come to seem to be only the soldiers and horses of the vassal kings.

The guard said, "Most likely, because there are 40,000 soldiers and horses." ”

"Forty thousand?" There were not many soldiers and horses of 40,000, and at most the four vassal kings came, but although they were not much, it also increased the pressure on their crossing of the river.

If it was the previous 30,000 Tang troops, they would be able to cross the river in half a day, but if the Tang army has increased to 70,000 now, they may not be able to cross the river in a day.

If you can't cross the Weishui River in a day, then I'm afraid that this battle will become protracted.

And they hate protracted wars the most, and it is impossible to have protracted wars within Datang.

The uneasy mood suddenly spread out like this, Jieli Khan walked back and forth in the big tent, he was very strange, how could the vassal kings from all over the country come to King Qin, and so fast?

The rain was still pouring outside, and it seemed to be going to get bigger.

The night passed like this, and the next day it was fine.

Early in the morning, Jieli Khan came to the bank of the Weishui River with his soldiers and horses.

The Liang army confronted each other across the water, but no one had the intention of rushing to make a move.

Li Shimin stood on the shore, looked at the Jieli Khan at the other end and said: "Attack my city, plunder my people, and wait for the Turks, it is really a barbarian, but if you want to capture my Tang Dynasty, it is not so easy, I have iron-blooded men in the Tang Dynasty, how can you be barbarian and rampant?" ”

Li Shimin's voice was loud, because the bank of the Weishui River was not very wide, so it quickly spread over, and just after Li Shimin's words were finished, a group of Tang troops suddenly shouted: "Swear to defend the Tang Dynasty, swear to defend the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Swear to defend the ...... of Datang to the death"

The soldiers of the Tang Army, the shouts resounded in the sky, and the morale was so compelling that even Jieli Khan couldn't help but tremble when he heard it on the other side.

In the face of such a critical moment, Tang Jun's spirit is really not comparable to those of them.

Jieli Khan looked at the Tang army on the other side and suddenly hesitated.

He was not afraid of the 70,000 Tang army, as long as he could cross the Weishui, he firmly believed that his 100,000 soldiers and horses could destroy the 60,000 Tang army, of course, at that time, his losses would be very serious.

Probably, in the end, even 40,000 soldiers and horses will not be left.

At that time, the Turks were afraid that their vitality would be seriously damaged, and for the Tang Dynasty, the loss of 60,000 soldiers and horses was really nothing, and if the vassal kings of various places really came, his 40,000 soldiers and horses had to be kept.

But if he didn't cross the river, he was a little unwilling.

He has already hit outside Chang'an City, and it is really unreasonable to be in such a stalemate.

His heart was entangled, but on the surface, Jieli Khan was very calm, and in the face of Li Shimin's reprimand, he just laughed: "This world is not your Li Tang world, but you took it from Emperor Sui, I came to get a piece of the pie, why not?" ”

"Hmph, if that's the case, you will attack, if there is a greedy person in my Tang Dynasty who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I, Li Shimin, am not worthy of being the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

After saying that, the soldiers shouted loudly again.

"Kill the enemy army and bless me Datang."

"Kill the enemy army and bless me Datang."

“…………”

The shouts continued, and the Khan frowned.

The two armies confronted each other, and for a while, no one refused to send troops first, and Li Shimin here naturally knew that he was two pounds, but now he was just a suspicious tactic and would not send troops.

Jieli Khan here, but he didn't expect the Tang reinforcements to come so quickly, he was not sure of victory, and he was worried that his vitality would be greatly damaged, so he didn't dare to move.

The confrontation continued throughout the morning, and near noon, the Khan ordered the Turks to retreat.

It is not a way to continue to confront each other like this.

The Turks retreated, but they had no intention of giving up, and it was clear that they were not reconciled.

Li Shimin led the soldiers and horses back to the barracks, Li Shimin's forehead was sweating, I don't know if it was because of the heat or because he was too nervous.

After all, in the situation just now, the Turkic soldiers and horses are really likely to attack and kill at any time.

"Holy Lord, it seems that we have really shocked the Turkic soldiers and horses, as long as we keep increasing reinforcements, maybe we can really force them back."

The eldest grandson Wuji looked a little less excited, somewhat relieved, Li Shimin nodded: "Let Li Ji continue to gather the people in Chang'an City, pretend to be soldiers, and send them as soon as possible, but remember, you must have courage." ”

"Holy Lord, rest assured, Li Ji knows all this."

After saying this, Li Shimin frowned again, today is indeed bluffing the Turkic soldiers and horses, but Jieli Khan, as a generation of heroes on the Turkic steppe, has courage and courage that can never be compared.

In case he had to cross the river and fight them, his men and horses would be exposed, and the situation would have been bad.

The defeat is like a mountain, and the edifice will fall.

These situations are really possible.

Now the best way is for the news from Jingzhou to come as soon as possible, so that Jieli Khan has more worries, so that he will not dare to act easily.

As long as he doesn't do it, it will take a long time, and they will naturally not be able to afford it, and at that time, he will withdraw from the army, and it is a big deal, just give them a little more benefit.

The Turks attacked their Tang Dynasty, didn't they want such a little benefit?

Li Shimin still knows a little about the prominence of these nomads, and he doesn't want to look down on them like this, but obviously, this kind of prominence is a good thing for them.
