Wei Zheng's face flashed a trace of unbearability: "However, but this is tantamount to putting those forty siege soldiers to death, those are all strong men who are one in a hundred, it is really a pity to lose like this." ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "I don't want casualties, I just want the East Gate!" ”

The fire above and below the city began to spread to the city with a strong east wind, and the city head gradually couldn't even hear the screams at this time, and there were originally fire men at the head of the city falling from a high place from time to time, and there was no such fire man at this time, except for the crackling sound when the flames burned, there was no other sound.

Wang Shichong stared closely at the burning city gate, the poplar gate was originally painted dark gray, but now it had been burned white by the flames, and finally, with a loud bang, the city gate that had been burned to pieces collapsed, and when I looked through the city gate, there were burning flames everywhere, and the screams of the soldiers in the city could be heard clearly by every soldier outside the city through the wind passing through the gate.

Wang Shichong stood up and walked off the platform, Shan Xiongxin on the side stepped forward and took a Qinghai curly hairy horse, Wang Shichong laughed, put a layer of wet cowhide covered with sand on his body, rode on the war horse, and shouted: "Zhongerlang, Yiwu City is in front of you, break the country and capture the king, just in this dynasty, follow me!" When he had finished speaking, he rode out of the city in a puff of smoke and rushed straight into the city, which was still burning.

Sing-so! Xin also grabbed a yellow horse beside him, covered it with a layer of such sand and wet cowhides, and rushed towards the city, following closely behind. It was more than 30 personal guards brought by Wang Shichong from his hometown.

The Sui infantry behind the archers. There was a loud cheer. Closely following Wang Shichong, rushing towards the city gate, Wei Zheng's eyes widened, he didn't expect Wang Shichong to be in danger in person, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and also snatched a war horse from under the stage, and ran towards the city gate.

Wei Zheng rushed to the city gate, only to see that the infantry of the Sui army had already pushed the burning cart aside. At this time, they were charging towards the city like a tide, and when they looked from the inside of the city, they saw that the infantry of the Sui army had occupied the entire square behind the gate, and the banner of the Western Turkic wolf's head at the head of the city was also pulled down and thrown away by dozens of Sui troops who braved the flames and smoke to enter the city, and replaced it with a banner with the word "Sui".

As the banner with the word "Sui" written on it was erected, the soldiers of the Sui army in the camp outside the city let out a thunderous shout, even if they were wounded in the siege battle in front of them, the archers who went back to be bandaged were wrapped in bandages one by one. Hanging on his arms and wrapped in gauze. Holding a big bow in one hand, he screamed and jumped excitedly, and his eyes were full of tears of joy.

For the first time in his life, he truly felt how exciting and exciting it was to capture a city, and the lingering excitement and excitement written on the faces of the soldiers, like the moving scenes of those soldiers rushing into the burning city gate in flames, even after many years, became a lingering imprint in Wei Zheng's heart.

Wang Shichong's laughter sounded from behind Wei Zheng: "What's the matter, Xuan Cheng, are you looking for me?" ”

Wei Zheng's heart moved, and he quickly turned his head, only to see Wang Shichong standing behind him with a smile on his face under the escort of more than thirty personal guard cavalry.

Wei Zheng rubbed his eyes, he obviously saw Wang Shichong rushing into the city gate just now, why did he appear behind him again?

Wang Shichong smiled and said, "Xuan Cheng, are you wondering why I am not in the city at this time, but here?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Although Wei knows that the lord has always been elusive, but just now I saw you enter the city with my own eyes." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and glanced at Shan Xiongxin beside him, Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "The lord is really clever, just now I saw that the soldiers were afraid of the fire for a while, and they didn't dare to enter lightly, so they took the lead and rushed to the city gate, but after we caught up, we found that the lord was just standing under the city immediately, standing on the side of the wreckage of the rushing car." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "At that time, it was very critical, wait for the fire to go out and then rush, maybe the enemy army in the city will send reinforcements to plug this gap, the so-called opportunity can not be lost, it is here, unless I rush up as the main general, otherwise it is difficult for the soldiers behind to follow up, but the art of war is cloudy, the general must not go into danger alone, and take risks, otherwise there will be an accident, which will make the whole army chaotic, so I also used a means, not directly into the city, but hiding in this smoke, the soldiers behind do not know the situation ahead, Seeing me rushing into the smoke, thinking that I had entered the city, they were all desperately trying to keep up, and I happened to organize the sergeants to move away from the burning rushing cart and extinguish the fire at the city gate, and after the first 2,000 people poured in, this eastern city could be said to be truly ours. ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "The lord is really clever, Wei is really convinced." Are we going to take advantage of the situation and take over the city? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Don't worry, once the east gate is lost, the other gates will be shaken, now we only need to form a formation here in the east city, consolidate the situation, and then line up with the heavy armor lance as the lead, from the streets of this city to the central formation, straight to the palace, then the situation can be determined, those soldiers of the Yiwu country, almost all of them alive have surrendered, a few soldiers fled to the direction of the palace, the strength of the city is no longer possible to hold, the next thing we have to do is to see how the Xue Dashuai of the West Gate annihilated the 20,000 cavalry of the Western Turks." And the other is that we have to block the possible surprise attack of the prince of Dubi. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes widened: "Lord, are you saying that it is still possible for the prince to tear up the agreement with us and brazenly send troops to attack us?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "I will never completely believe in the Turks, a qiē is just an exchange of interests, so no matter when, I will definitely have a force in my hand that is enough to repel his 40,000 elite horsemen." ”

Wei Zheng suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Is it just the five thousand baggage soldiers and three thousand crossbowmen who stayed in the big camp?" It's just that these people can really stop 40,000 Turkic iron horsemen? ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "There are two thousand big cars, and the most critical person." It's the lieutenant I brought this time. Li Jing Li Pharmacist. ”

In front of the Sui army camp outside the east gate of Yiwu. At this time, the formation had been opened, and two thousand carts were equipped with baffles covered with cooked cowhide, with knives and pills inserted on them, lined up in a row, blocking in front of the camp gate, connected by two, and discharged a distance of more than ten miles, and behind the carts. It was 3,000 Sui crossbowmen wearing heavy armor and holding strong crossbows.

Li Jing rode on a tall horse, completely ignoring the sound of fighting, shouting and cheering behind him, just looking coldly ahead, the wind blowing the long beard under his chin, like the big flag of "Li" erected high behind him, fluttering against the wind.

Twenty miles away in the desert, the heat wave is rolling in and out of the way, making everything look like a mirage. However, Li Jing's face was still grim, standing on a horse like a clay carved wood sculpture. Even the jujube red war horse under his seat seemed to be through the master's spirituality and remained motionless.

Two horses came from afar, the knight on the horse rolled the saddle and dismounted, jumped over the iron rope of the war workshop, and went straight to Li Jing, Li Jing looked at the two little soldiers with their backs against the flag, and said in a deep voice: "What is the situation ahead?" What did the Turkic cavalry do? ”

The first soldier panted and replied: "Back to General Li, the Turkic army has a total of about 40,000 cavalry, all of them are one man and two horses, and they began to advance in the early hours of this morning, but they did not divide the troops left and right, but moved forward slowly, and now they have walked thirty miles, and they are still about twenty miles away from our army." ”

The second soldier continued: "The enemy army is wearing the iron armor of the Western Turks, playing the golden wolf banner of the Western Turks, and at a place twenty miles away from our army, all the cavalry dismounted to rest, and more than a dozen noble-looking generals, under the protection of hundreds of guards, are now more than ten miles away, spying on the reality of our army." ”

Li Jing looked ahead from a distance, only to see more than ten miles away, in the heat wave of the desert, there were more than 100 horses faintly there, too far away, only looking at the small black dots, about the enemy nobles that the little soldier said, and farther away, there were dense, uncountable black dots, it seemed that it must be the enemy's cavalry.

Li Jing nodded, and said to the two: "It's hard work, go down and rest, send two more scouts to keep an eye on the enemy's movements, if the enemy army has a situation of outflanking our army's two wings, report it quickly!" And ,,," He turned to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young colonel on the left, with a heroic face and bright eyes, and said, "Ah Lie, go to the opposite side and ask the enemy general to talk about it!" ”

On the other side, more than ten miles away, the prince of Dubi was dressed in iron armor, covered with a leopard skin robe, wearing an iron helmet, with three tall pheasant tail feathers inserted on it, looking gloomily at the Sui army car array nearly twenty miles away, in his position, the car formation was more than ten miles long, swinging north and south, completely blocking the route of his attack, even if he wanted to bypass this car formation, it was not easy, the blade on the car baffle on the car formation was flashing a cold cold light, and behind the baffle, there were many people, it looked like a dense number of ants, and the number of people could not be seen at allIn the camp, thousands of tents stand quietly in place, I don't know how many ambushes are hidden inside, more than 20 miles away from the head of Yiwu City, wolf smoke is everywhere, with the eyes of the prince of the prince on the grassland for many years, he has clearly seen the "Sui" word banner at the head of the city.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, struck the saddle hard, and said: "It seems that the heavens will not help our great Turks, I can't imagine that Wang Shichong will not take an hour to attack the east gate of Yiwu, and I don't even have a chance to help." ”

Gao Baoyi shook his head and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Wang Shichong has been prepared for a long time, and he has left enough strength here to fight us, the Sui army is all elite soldiers this time, and looking at this style, it is likely that there will be ambush soldiers, even if we attack in a roundabout way, we are afraid that we will not be able to break through this big battalion." ”

Gao Baoyi raised his head, looked at the city wall with black smoke in the distance, and sighed: "And look at this frame, Yiwu City has been captured, and it is useless for us to go to the rescue, Your Royal Highness the Prince, without further ado, it is not too late for us to change the banner of the Western Turks, change the banner of our Great Turks, and pretend to be reinforcements to come and meet." ”

The prince nodded, and was about to speak, but saw a horse running far away in the distance, bringing up a cloud of dust, and the two men beside him instinctively raised their bows and arrows, but they were glared at and shouted, "What are you doing here?" Don't put it down yet! ”

In the blink of an eye, the Sui army galloped to the front of the army, only a few dozen steps away from the prince of Dubi, it was the junior colonel who was called by Li Jing as Alie, and shouted loudly: "Dare to ask if the person who came is the prince of the Great Turks?" ”

Prince Dubi nodded, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, I am Ashina Dubi, dare to ask you the commander of the army, but General Xue Shixiong?" ”

The soldier shook his head: "General Xue is not in the battalion. ”

Prince Dubi's heart moved: "That's General Wang Shichong?" ”

The soldier smiled slightly and said, "No, General Wang has already led his troops into the city, and now the one waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince in front is General Li Jing, the right guard of the school." ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively said angrily: "What! I am a dignified Turkic prince, it is said that your Marshal Xue or General Wang should come out to greet me, how can I let a tiger tooth general, or a school inspector come to greet me? It's not polite! ”

Ah Lie smiled slightly, and said without humility or arrogance: "My General Li said, now this is a battlefield, not a diplomatic occasion, a place of rudeness, and please ask His Royal Highness the Prince afterwards, the army has broken the city, and His Royal Highness the Prince first missed the deadline, and then led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to suddenly appear on the battlefield at this time, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles and misunderstandings, our General Li hopes to meet with His Royal Highness the Prince alone to discuss how to deal with this matter!" ”

Prince Bibi was so angry that his face was flushed, and he was about to attack, when Gao Baoyi on the side suddenly said in Tiele language: "Your Royal Highness, please calm the wrath of thunder, now is not the time to be aggressive, I have heard of this Li Jing, although the official position is not high, but in the Sui Dynasty is also famous for the art of war, I heard that his uncle Han Baohu's true art of war is true, and he can't use this official position to see his strength." ”

Prince Dubi's heart moved, and he also replied in Tiele language: "What, is it Han Baohu's nephew?" How come I had never heard of him? ”

Gao Baoyi said: "Although this person is talented, but his luck is not too good, he was implicated in the defeat of his brother and uncle before, lost his official position, and has no experience in battlefield combat for many years, so although he is nearly forty years old, he is still only a tiger tooth general who inspects the school, but judging from the formation he laid out, it is definitely the level of a famous general, and His Royal Highness the prince must not despise this person."
