Chapter 259: Horses Stepping on Xiangcheng
"Big brother, we've been waiting here for two days, why hasn't there been any movement over there from the boss" Ma Han asked while eating noodles in a hurry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"If there is no movement, there is no movement, what are you anxious about, are you treated badly by eating and drinking every day" Wang Chao took a sip of hot soup and said angrily.
"No disadvantage, hehe, this guy's food in this wilderness is no worse than at home, especially the soup cooked in this corned beef is very delicious" Ma Han swallowed the noodle soup in his mouth, looking satisfied.
"Ma Han, what you said is wrong, what is eating meat on this grassland, I think the most powerful thing is that the young master made this baked noodles are good, they can be left for so long, you tell me how long it has been since we left Chang'an, and there is no taste at all. Looking at the hard ones, you can eat them in the blink of an eye in this broth, which is so convenient. In the past, when I was fighting with my grandfather, how could there be such a good thing, except for the dry food that could be stored for a few days, what was left was not freshly made. Sometimes the situation is urgent, and the guy will sprinkle the noodles directly into the pot, stir them and drink the batter. It was Zhang Long who spoke, this was reminiscent of the days of the previous war, except for the two who had never been on the battlefield in the dynasty, everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Big brother, why don't you say that the young master doesn't like to eat?" Ma Han asked again.
Wang Chao looked at the tent not far away, and then whispered: "Young master, I definitely don't like to eat such a rough thing."
"No, this thing was made by the young master, how could he not like it," Ma Han said.
"I think the young master is homesick," Zhang Long said.
"I miss the young lady," this was Zhao Hu's voice.
"Hey, hey, hey" a group of people laughed loudly.
Listening to the lively conversation outside, Wu Yuanqing shrank in the tent and couldn't help rolling his eyes when he got under the leather mattress.
Wang Chao is right, he really doesn't like to eat, although this dumpling brand was made by him, but in later generations he didn't like this kind of dumpling, he would rather be hungry than eat, came to the Tang Dynasty to eat all kinds of delicacies all day long, and it was even more difficult to swallow this kind of thing.
As for other steamed buns, biscuits with locust powder and the like, I could still eat two bites on the first day, but I couldn't eat them on the second day, and I was in a panic.
When I woke up this morning, I ate some fried flour, and it was still mixed with sugar to make a mushy paste.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are right, he is indeed homesick and misses his daughter-in-law. As a dead house, it is certain that he loves his family, not to mention that he is still an authentic Shanxi person, and Shanxi people are notoriously reluctant to leave home.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my family was good, and Wu Yuanqing secretly swore that he would never go out in the future, even if the emperor gave an order, he would not be able to do it.
Tightening the mattress on his body, thinking about the hot kang at home, Wu Yuanqing fell asleep.
I don't know if it's a noisy bed or cold in the past two days, anyway, Wu Yuanqing can't sleep well every day, this time he finally slept well, and he slept directly from noon to night before waking up.
I was woken up by the dynasty at the end of the meal, otherwise I could continue to sleep.
"Young master, get up and eat something," Wang Chao said with a bowl of broth.
"Is there any movement on the ridge?" asked Wu Yuanqing as he got dressed.
"There's no movement, I guess I've waited in vain again today," Wang Chao said with a smile.
"You can't be careless, you have to keep an eye on it at all times" Wu Yuanqing frowned.
"Knowing the young master, I'll go and let Zhao Hu and Ma Han keep an eye on it," Wang Chao said, putting down the bowl and walking out.
After getting dressed, Wu Yuanqing picked up the soup bowl and drank two sips, took the steamed bun slices placed on the side and just put them in his mouth when he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then Wang Chao rushed in: "Young master, there is movement, the fire over there is extinguished."
"Damn, the fire will be extinguished at this hour, it must be sent out, hurry up and pack up your things, let's go too" Wu Yuanqing threw down the soup bowl and shouted.
Li Jing's 3,000 army on the Evil Yang Ridge had already been fully equipped, and with Li Jing's order, the army roared up the mountain and then swooped down.
At the time of the incense stick after they left, Wu Yuanqing and his party hurriedly arrived, and then chased in the direction of the army.
After a hurried night, that is, after four o'clock in the morning, a city appeared at the end of the army's sight, which was the destination of their trip, Xiangcheng.
Stopping the horse and resting for a while, the army marched again, and the war horse gradually accelerated, and when it reached a place less than a mile away from Xiangcheng, the speed of the war horse was the highest.
At this time, the dozing Turkic soldiers on the city wall were awakened by the sound of rumbling horses' hooves.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack"
"The Tang Army is coming, the Tang Army is coming"
A panicked shout rang through the sky.
The three thousand cavalry of the Tang Dynasty had already rushed to the city, and then these three thousand people did not attack the city gate, but drew an arc on the side of the city wall in a neat manner, grazing the city wall like a scimitar.
It's just that when they flew along the city, they took out bombs from their waists one by one and lit them with fire folds, and threw them at the city wall.
The bombs easily flew to the two-zhang high wall of Xiangcheng, and many even flew directly over the city wall and fell into the city.
Boom, boom, continuous explosions sounded, and the Turkic soldiers in the city fell from the city walls like rain.
The Turkic soldiers who rushed to the city after hearing the news were also blown up by the bombs that fell into the city, and the violent explosion was accompanied by a strong light, so that the Turks who had no culture and were superstitious thought that they had angered the gods and sent a punishment to destroy Xiangcheng.
The bold ones also knew that they were running and hiding, and the timid ones knelt down directly and began to pray for forgiveness from the gods.
But more Turks had just woken up from their sleep, and when they heard the loud noise coming from the city gate in the distance, they were so frightened that they couldn't even wear their clothes and ran outside to see what was going on.
Jieli Khan is similar, he pulled the Turkic dancing girl to play after watching the song and dance last night.
But this guy is also older, and he is also pampered and fatter, and he is no longer as majestic as he once was under the city of Chang'an, and he softened after a few clicks, but what if he has more than enough strength and insufficient strength, he can replace it with tools, there are no tools and hands and mouths, in short, he can't fall into the prestige of the Great Khan.
With his hands and mouths and external equipment, Jieli Khan grabbed the dancing queen and tossed it until the early hours of the morning before falling asleep.
Not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by the guards.
"What Tang army is coming, how many soldiers and horses are coming" Jieli Khan kicked away and wanted to hug Wen Cun's dancing queen, and asked loudly.
"There are only about 3,000 soldiers and horses," the guard said.
"Three thousand soldiers and horses dare to attack Xiangcheng, where my 20,000 Turkic cavalry is stationed, are the Tang people crazy?" Jieli Khan muttered to himself.
"Report, Great Khan, the Tang army has broken through the city gate and entered the city," another guard ran in to report.
"What?"
