Chapter 483: Jieli escaped
It's like a hammer on the watermelon, and red blood and minced flesh shoot everywhere. The Turkic army was killed in a great chaos, and those in the back could not get out of the city, and the front suffered countless casualties.
Jieli was taken aback and quickly ordered the city gate to be closed; Then he led the people to the castle tower and looked down. Outside the city, it looks like a slaughterhouse, the Xuanjia army gallops across the country, killing countless Turkic soldiers outside.
"Shoot! Shoot them! Jie Li shouted angrily, and the Turkic soldiers on the city tower bent their bows and arrows to see that they were attacking the Xuanjia army. The archery skills of the Turks were indeed extraordinary, and the arrows hit the enemy without being accidentally injured.
However, these Xuanjia heavy cavalry are like iron cans, although they are shot, that is, a spark, they can't hurt them at all.
The Xuanjia army quickly dispersed the Turkic troops outside the city, and those who did not have time to run were slaughtered. Li Yuanba led the army to set up a formation under the city. The oppressive force of the 3,000 Xuanjia Army made Jieli's heart feel like something was grabbing it.
"Let's go!" These people fought motionless in place for about an hour, and the Turkic army of more than 100,000 did not dare to leave the city. It is estimated that this Su Lie and they have already gone away, and Li Yuanba ordered to leave with a rumbling army.
Only then did Jieli remember that his Kedun and the prince had been kidnapped by the enemy; He just did it and watched them go, but he couldn't think of a way, which made him anxious and doubted his strength again.
In the next few days, the bad news flew like snowflakes, and the Tang Six Roads had already invaded the desert; The Turks were defeated, killed and wounded.
Jieli summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures, and everyone was noisy and disagreed; In the end, Zhao Deyan said: "The Tang Dynasty is now in full swing, and it should be avoided from its edge, and the army will give up to Mo Nan and retreat to Mo North to recuperate; Wait until the Central Plains is in turmoil again, and it is coming back again.
In addition, the minister is willing to lobby the Western Turks, tell them the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and let them help us resist the Tang army. ”
Jie Li said that his generals couldn't think of anything better to pay attention to; Therefore, Jieli ordered Zhao Deyan to send an envoy to the Turks and lead the army to retreat into the depths of the desert.
Su Lie brought Princess Yicheng and Empress Xiao to Dingxiang; Li Jing heard the news and asked people to welcome them in.
Princess Yicheng pulled her son Ashina Chengmo, standing stubbornly without saying a word. Empress Xiao took her grandson Yang Zhengdao and Li Jing very politely.
Li Jing said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao went to Fanbang and suffered a lot; His Majesty specially instructed me to treat Mrs. Xiao well. In addition, your eighth brother, the left servant of the Tang Dynasty, shot Xiao Yu, and I also took care of it when he set out on the expedition.
This time, your ancestors and grandchildren returned to the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as returning to the roots and returning to the Central Plains. We will have a chance to meet again in Chang'an in the future, please go down and have a good rest, I will definitely send someone to send Mrs. to Chang'an. ”
Empress Xiao thanked Li Jing, and then hesitated to look at Princess Yicheng, and slowly walked out of the hall with the guards.
Li Jing's brows furrowed tightly, he looked at Princess Yicheng and said, "The princess's heart is full of obsession, and this obsession has been carved into your soul and bones; It's almost impossible to eliminate. According to my idea, I want to put you to death and eliminate a hidden danger for Datang. ”
Princess Yicheng's face did not change and said: "Hmph, if you want to kill, you will kill; Why bother. ”
Li Jing sighed and said, "Can I call you a brother and sister?" Princess Yicheng's body trembled, held back the tears in her eyes, gritted her teeth and stopped talking.
"Brother and sister, I won't tell you; I'm a person who learns a lot of things, and I know a little bit about the way of hope. Although you are destined to have a catastrophe this year, you don't know why you have noble people to help you, so that your catastrophe is not dangerous. You can report that you have no worries about life. ”
Yicheng snorted coldly, and said secretly in his heart: "Anyway, it's your own nonsense, I won't believe it." ”
Li Jing looked at her realization in his eyes and continued: "This child looks a little like his brother and sister, but he doesn't have the slightest symbol of the Turks. His father is from the Central Plains! I didn't expect that I would have a nephew who was left behind. ”
Princess Yicheng's face changed drastically: "What do you want to do?" Joma is my son, and no one wants to take him away from me. ”
Li Jing smiled, he walked two steps in front of Ashina Chengmo, squatted down and stroked his head and said, "Chengmo, you are not yet 9 years old; The hatred of home and country should not be borne by a child as young as you. I will send you to your relatives, and from now on, nothing will be left to chance; Like a normal child, play well and grow well. ”
Princess Yicheng couldn't hold back anymore at this time, hugged her son and cried loudly.
"Come and arrange for the guards to send them to Youzhou; said to the outside world that Princess Yicheng was unwilling to be ambushed and committed suicide. ”
"Yes!" Li Jing's personal soldiers agreed and took their mother and daughter down.
The next day, the news of Princess Yicheng's death spread throughout the Tang camp, although Queen Xiao and her sister-in-law gradually became estranged because of disagreements, but after all, she was grateful for her rescue and care, and heard that Princess Yicheng committed suicide, grief-stricken, and she fell seriously ill at that time.
After Empress Xiao returned to Chang'an, Li Shimin gave her a mansion to live in, and canonized Yang Zhengdao as a member of the staff and scattered horsemen; Empress Xiao saw her younger brother Xiao Yu and her daughter Yang Jier, and her relatives were wet with tears when they saw each other. Empress Dowager Xiao wanted Xiao Yu to talk about the death of Princess Yicheng. Xiao Yu is strict and upright, refuses to tolerate people's shortcomings, and is not good at handling interpersonal relationships; The next day, he played the impeachment of Li Jing.
Some people took the opportunity to make comments, saying that Xiao Yu's impeachment of Li Jing was inappropriate. Li Shimin appointed Xiao Yu as the crown prince and young master, dismissed Shangshu's left servant, and no longer let him participate in court politics.
Jieli fled all the way north and west with his army, and threw the moraine to Li Jing behind him. Li Jing did not stop at all after occupying the moraine, and continued to pursue Jieli. At the same time, Chai Shao, the head of Jinhe Road, and Li Shiji, the head of the Tongmo Road march, came out of the clouds, and they clamped Jieli like two big pincers.
First of all, Chai Shao's army assaulted all the way to meet Jieli in the Hunhe River, and in the face of an enemy army several times his own, Chai Shao Lingran was not afraid and Qin Qiong led the army to attack like Jieli.
Chai Shao and Qin Qiong led a part of the elite troops to charge in front, and the rest of the army formed a formation with Wugang chariots and attacked with bows and crossbows. The two armies slaughtered the world next to the Hunhe River.
In the end, the Turks had about ten times as many men and horses as the Tang army, but they were a little flustered in the first battle, and then stabilized, relying on the advantage of personnel and gradually moving back to some disadvantages.
The Tang army fought fewer and fewer, and the main general Chai Shao was not lightly wounded, and they were gradually surrounded by the Turks. Qin Qiong showed his might, killed more than a dozen enemy generals, protected Chai Shao, and retreated into the range of Wu Gang's car.
The Wugang chariots rumbled end to end, forming a large archetypal array, and the spears pierced like hedgehogs, making the Turks unable to swallow for a while.
Jieli was in a hurry to be killed by the Tang Army during this period of time, and this time he finally fought a turnaround; Although this battle was not honorably won; He didn't care about it, and he gave a death order to destroy this Tang army.
The Tang army killed fewer and fewer people, and the range of Wugang cars became smaller and smaller; However, the Turks suffered heavy casualties, and every time the Tang army fell, it would be exchanged for 3, or even more enemies.
He didn't want Qin Qiong to rush all the way with a horse and a gun, and the corpses of the enemies he killed were all over the field, and later Huang Biao was hit by dozens of arrows in his body, and the blood flowed like an infusion, and he fell on the grassland; Qin Qiong dismounted and speared, relying on Wu Gang's chariot to continue to stab the enemy under the horse.
This great battle was fought from morning to night, and from night to morning; The super strength of the battle made the Turks' attacks slow down. However, Tang Jun was still so indifferently brandishing swords and guns, as if he was harvesting crops in the field. It seems that the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood can't make them retreat at all.
Jieli sighed secretly, Tang Jun is so difficult to deal with, is it possible for him to take revenge in his life?
At this time, in the morning mist, a group of men and horses quietly came behind the Turks, and they set out from the clouds, Li Shiji, the head of the march of the Tongmo Road.
Li Shiji had arrived at the Hunhe River the previous evening, and he found that Jieli was engaged in a battle with the Tang army; , the god of war who is known as Li Jing, did not immediately attack; Instead, let his subordinates hurry up and eat and rest. By the early morning of the next day, the strength of the Tang army had regained its strength, but the Turks were getting more and more tired before they suddenly attacked.
In this big surprise, the Turks also fell from the sky to hell at once, they knew that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and they did not know how many people had come, and they scattered and fled with a bang.
Jieli couldn't control the army at all, and then he was coerced and Mobei was defeated. Li Shiji led Zhang Gongjin, Gao Zhensheng and Qin Qiong and Chai Shao to converge; At this time, half of the Tang army in Jinhe Road was dead, and the rest were all wounded.
"Second brother, how are you?" Li Shiji hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Chai Shao and Qin Qiong said while gnawing on the big cake in order to let people bandage their wounds: "It's just a few minor injuries, and it's no problem at all." It's just that the yellow horse is too injured and can't run anymore. ”
Zhang Gongjin laughed and said: "Second brother is also a good fortune, just now we attacked from behind, broke through a horse farm in Turkic, and got a lot of good horses." There is a Xiliang jade top licorice yellow, but it is a good horse like the yellow horse, and he is still in the prime of life, just for the second brother to ride. ”
Qin Qiong was overjoyed when she heard this, and ate the big cake in her hand in two bites and said, "Go!" Take me to see it, and we can go after the Turks again. ”
Zhang Gongjin ordered someone to bring the BMW over, and Qin Qiong was overjoyed when she saw it; He flew on his horse and ran two steps, feeling that he was still on top of his yellow horse, and couldn't help but raise the big gun in his hand and shouted, "What are you waiting for?" Pursuit! Not a single Turk can be let go. ”
Everyone said yes in unison, and then mounted their horses and began to pursue Jieli; This chase chased hundreds of miles, knowing that Jieli had run through Yinshan, and when they arrived at the Iron Mountain camp, they stopped and waited for news from Li Jing.
