On the south bank of the Weishui River, a barracks are endless, there are several pontoon bridges on the Weishui River here, but most of them have been demolished by the army, only a pontoon bridge is left across the river, there are still a lot of ignition things on the bridge, there are many soldiers on the side of the bridge with torches and steel knives, it seems that the pontoon bridge will be burned down at any time.

"Right now, are you sure it's going to work?" Li Xiu rode on his horse and asked Li Shimin with a tired face.

In the past few days, Li Xiu has also been directing the people arranged by Li Shimin to make gunpowder day and night, but the entire formula of gunpowder is still known only to him and Li Shimin, which is also Li Shimin's strong request, in order to keep it secret, so when making some steps of gunpowder, Li Xiu can only personally participate in it, and the result is naturally tired enough, and in the barracks behind him, there are people shouting and neighing everywhere, and it seems that all the Tang troops in Chang'an City have been concentrated here.

"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared, as long as Jieli dares to come, I dare to guarantee that he will not come back!" Li Shimin was full of confidence at this time, after Li Xiu made a large amount of gunpowder before, he demonstrated it in front of him, and as a result, Li Shimin now has greater confidence in gunpowder than Li Xiu.

"King Qin, although the power of gunpowder is great, the number is limited after all, and there are 200,000 Turks, I still feel a little uneasy just by relying on that bit of gunpowder!" Li Xiu frowned again at this time and said, Li Shimin has confidence in gunpowder, although it is a good thing, but if he believes too much in the power of gunpowder, he is a bit weapon-only, and ancient wars have always been human wars, even in later generations, it is difficult to say that the side with advanced weapons can win 100%.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Shimin also showed a contemplative expression, and finally just wanted to say something, but suddenly only heard a "rumbling" sound of horses' hooves from the opposite bank, and then saw a very embarrassed cavalry galloping over, only to see that this cavalry was about 1,000 people, all of them were scarred and covered with blood, most of them seemed to be wounded, and some people had a lot of feather arrows stuck in their backs, as if they had just escaped from the pursuit of the enemy.

With the appearance of this cavalry, I saw that a general like a black tower rushed out of the cavalry, shouting to this side as he ran: "Your Highness, the Turks are ten miles behind, and the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

This rushing general was none other than Wei Chigong, and I saw that his whole body seemed to be stained with blood, and his face couldn't be seen at all, his beard and eyebrows were full of blood clots, and there were even some pieces of minced meat hanging on the armor on his body, just like a demon who had been killed from hell.

"Jingde, you have worked hard!" When Li Shimin saw Wei Chigong rushing over, he couldn't help but be extremely excited and said loudly, before he gave an order to Wei Chigong, who went to entangle the Turkic army, and asked him to lead the Turkic army here no matter what, and now they have finally completed this task, and this also means that his plan has been half successful.

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Wei Chigong took the lead in rushing across the pontoon bridge, and then nearly a thousand cavalry behind him also rushed one after another, but many cavalry just rushed across the pontoon bridge, and immediately fell off their horses, and a few fell to the ground and remained motionless, which made the people next to him startled, and dragged them aside to check only to find that these people were actually asleep directly, which also made Li Xiu next to him sigh with emotion, I really don't know how many people these people haven't slept for a few days.

Wei Chigong rushed directly in front of Li Shimin, and when he jumped off the horse, his legs were also weak, and the tower-like man almost fell, but he was not an ordinary person after all, so he quickly stood up straight, and took out a token from his arms to formally hand over the order to Li Shimin.

At this time, Li Shimin had already dismounted, and he was very excited to take the token, and then helped Wei Chigong and said: "Jingde, you have worked hard, if you break the Turks today, you should be the first to work!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, but can Your Highness bring me a bowl of soup cakes, I have only eaten a piece of dry food for three days and three nights, and now I really have no strength, after I finish eating, I will help Your Highness face the Turks!" At this time, I saw that Wei Chi Gong's black face like the bottom of the pot also showed a sincere smile and said, he is different from Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin and others, since he identified Li Shimin at the beginning, then there will never be two hearts, even if Li Shimin asked him to lead thousands of cavalry to meet the enemy 200,000 Turks, he did not frown.

"Hahahaha~, what kind of soup cakes are you going to eat here, I even have beef ready for you!" Li Shimin laughed loudly when he heard this, and then with a wave of his hand, someone immediately carried a low table forward, on which was placed a copper basin, and inside was boiled beef, you must know that it is not easy to eat beef in Datang.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Although Li Xiu felt that eating beef directly after being hungry for a long time was not good for his health, but seeing Yu Chigong's bear-like figure, it was estimated that the digestive system also belonged to the non-human category, so he didn't open his mouth in the end.

Don't look at what Yu Chi Gong said just now to fight after eating, but in fact, his physical strength has been exhausted, just after gnawing a large piece of beef, the whole person fell directly to the ground with a "bump" sound, and then the snoring sounded, and then someone immediately came to carry Yu Chigong back to rest.

However, just a few soldiers lifted Wei Chigong up, but they saw Li Shimin suddenly wave his hand and ask them to pause, and then take off the cloak behind him and cover Wei Chigong as a quilt. As a result, this kind of behavior naturally won the gratitude of the soldiers behind him, and everyone stared at Wei Chigong very feverishly, as if they wished that they could receive such a reward instead of Wei Chigong.

"What a buyer!" Li Xiu next to him pursed his lips disdainfully when he saw this, and said in a low voice, he almost saw through Li Shimin's move to buy people's hearts, but in a place like the army, Li Shimin's move was very effective, which could be seen from the fanatical eyes of the generals around him, but Li Xiu always felt that this kind of look was a little numb, after all, a group of big men looked at another man with this kind of eyes, it was really easy to make people want to be crooked.

However, even Wei Chi Gong is tired of this appearance, which is enough to explain the tragic situation of the previous battle, and according to Li Xiu's knowledge, Wei Chi Gong seems to have organized an army of about 5,000 people, and fought a few battles with the front army of the Turks in Jingzhou, not only captured the important generals of the Turks, but also eliminated many Turks, but when the Turkic army arrived, he could only be defeated, and now only 1,000 people have escaped, as for the fate of the others, there is naturally no need to say more.

"It's coming!" Just when Li Xiu was pondering, he suddenly heard a burst of horns in the distance on the other side of the river, followed by a messy sound of horses' hooves, and then saw a Turkic cavalry wearing sheep's clothing appear at the end of the opposite road, and with the appearance of this cavalry, more and more Turks appeared in sight, and the last place to see was almost everywhere Turks.

"Two hundred thousand, what an inexhaustible Turkic dog!" Li Shimin looked at more and more Turks, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, the Turks have always been a knife hanging above the heads of the Tang people, and this knife will fall from time to time, making the Tang Dynasty bleed every time, and now he is taking advantage of Li Shimin's empty army to raid Chang'an, and if he doesn't do it well, he will fall into the situation of destroying the country, how can he not hate?

As soon as the Turks on the other side appeared, the soldiers guarding the pontoon bridge had already ordered a fire, and as a result, the pontoon bridge, which was full of fireworks, was immediately burned to the ground, and the rope connecting the pontoon bridge was also burned, and the pieces of wood were burned on fire, and then it flowed down the raging river.

The Weishui River was wide and deep, and it was by no means for horses to wade, which made it almost the last barrier of Chang'an, and the Turks on the opposite side also stopped their horses after reaching the north bank of Weishui, waiting for the Khan's orders.

"On the other side, His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty?" At this moment, I saw a young Turkic general rushing out of the Turkic army opposite, and then asked Li Shimin in a loud voice across the Weishui.

"Tuli, I didn't expect us to meet again on the battlefield, have you forgotten the original covenant?" Li Shimin saw that the other party had a blank face and reprimanded loudly.

Li Xiu next to him was also very surprised when he heard this, and looked at the young Turkic general opposite, it turned out that this guy was Tuli, only to see the other party's thin eyes and round face, not very old but with a big beard, the standard Turkic dress is very different from the appearance of his uncle Jieli, but last time he was still very stiff with Jieli, but now he is going south with Jieli, it seems that Turks are Turks, in their eyes, Datang is a fat meat that can be bitten at any time.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Tuli on the other side of the strait unexpectedly showed a rare embarrassed expression, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "King Qin, I won't fight with you, the Great Khan will arrive soon, and he will naturally answer you at that time!" ”

After Tu Li finished speaking, he patted the horse, turned around and ran away, which made Li Xiu can't help but show a shocked expression, and then shook his head helplessly, and at this time, Li Shimin next to him also seemed to notice his expression, and turned his head with a smile at the moment and said: "See, Tu Li is not to be afraid, this is why he has not been able to fight Jieli, if you wait until you kill Jieli in the future, you can support Tuli to take the position, and then the Turks will not be troubled!" ”

Li Xiu also thought deeply of Li Shimin's words, although it was the first time he saw Tuli, but based on his performance just now, he knew that he was not a person who did big things, but Li Xiu did not agree with Li Shimin's saying that he would support Tuli to take charge of the Turks, because although this approach is effective, it will leave a fatal hidden danger for the Tang Dynasty, which can be seen in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard another heavy sound of horses' hooves, and the previous Turkic army also lined up like a stream of water, making way for a mighty cavalry, which also made Li Xiu and Li Shimin heavy-faced, and Jieli finally arrived! (To be continued.) )
