Section 64: The city was ruined and defeated

Then go and talk to the Turks, say that he is wounded, don't kill him. I don't want to listen to excuses www.biquge.info this is the front line, this is the real battlefield.

-- Li Jinghan

"Oops!" Xiao Mingxue was careless, ran too fast, and still fell.

Ren Liang hurriedly ran over, picked up his son, and said, "Good son, don't hurt, don't cry." ”

Seeing that his son stopped crying, Renliang said to Jiaoxu, "You're here." ”

"Yes, Xianggong."

"Madam, why did you bring your son here?"

"My father brought news from the capital that the new dynasty is about to hold a national martial arts exam." Ren Liang hugged his son and nodded slightly.

The grain was received on the ox cart, and his wife and son were also allowed to sit on it, and the three of them drove the ox cart home happily.

At Renliang's house, Liu's mother is sitting in the courtyard with the second child born to Renliang and Jiaoxu.

Xiao Yue, who came out of the kitchen, saw Liu's mother and the baby and said, "Old lady, why did you come out with the child in your arms, it will make the child catch a cold." ”

Mother Liu smiled: "It's okay, it's good to let the child bask in the sun." yes, baby, you're going to get as long as you can. ”

"I'm back, mother." Ren orbit.

"Oh, I'm back, I'm tired, let's go into the house and rest."

"Yes, mother."

In the house, Ren Liang finished reading the letter written to him by his father-in-law, Ren Gui.

Jiaoxu said: "Xianggong should have followed my father to make achievements, just leave the family to me, the work outside is so tiring, you don't have time to practice martial arts." ”

Renliang shook his head and said, "No, ma'am, I should do farm work, it is my responsibility, and I can't put all the burden on you." ”

"But,...... Then when are you going to Jingshi to participate in the martial arts? ”

"I'm probably going to be there soon." Ren Rail said thoughtfully.

"I hope to go with you this time, and I haven't been back to my parents' house for a long time."

"Okay, it's time for us to visit your parents."

In a big mountain 300 miles outside Chang'an City, Li Jinghan, who was the commander of the Shenwu Right Battalion, was leading the soldiers to carry out weight-bearing marching training.

Jing Han shouted to the backward soldiers: "Hurry up, hurry up, what are you grinding, if you run slowly, I will kill you." ”

A middle-aged soldier sat down on the ground, and Jing Han asked, "What are you doing?" Get up. ”

The middle-aged soldier said with a sad face: "My lord, I seem to have twisted my foot and hurt my bones." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, get up!"

Jing Han's lieutenant Wei Gang came over and said, "General Li, I'll show him." ”

After Xiao Wei checked the middle-aged soldier, he said, "General, he is really injured, let him rest." ”

"Let him get up." Jing said coldly.

"But ......"

"Then go and talk to the Turks, say that he is wounded, don't kill him. I don't listen to excuses, this is the front line, this is the real battlefield. After speaking, Jing Han walked towards Dong Jialiang, a colleague who came to observe.

Jing Han asked Jialiang, "How are your subordinates training?" ”

"Ha, you're too strict with your subordinates."

"How can it be done if it is not strict? They are far worse than the Turks. "Jing Han has some hatred that iron does not become steel.

"Let's go, let's go back to the big tent, the general of the Left Guard, Lord Hou, has just sent a messenger to see us."

Hou Junji, a slightly shorter and thin general of the Left Guard, sat on a handsome white tiger skin chair in the big tent, and said to Jing Han and Jialiang: "General Li, General Dong listens to orders!" ”

"Yes, General, the last general will obey orders."

"The two generals have already heard about it, the Turkic iron cavalry has repeatedly violated my Tang border, this time, the general received information, the Turkic general Sha Bo Luo Suni lost his own commander 10,000 cavalry in three days to attack Baishui City, please two generals each with 4,000 fine cavalry, in three days long march 200 miles, rushed to Baishui City, left and right to flank the Turkic army, this general personally led the Chinese army of 8,000 men and horses, in three and a half days to Baishui, to meet everyone, be sure to annihilate the enemy."

"General Zuowei, but if we go to reinforce Baishui City, then Chang'an City will have no barrier to protect it." Dong Jialiang said.

"What do you say? Whitewater City is the barrier of the capital, and if Whitewater is lost, then the capital is the real danger. Jing Han said.

Hou Junji has such an idea about Jing Han, and his head agrees.

Jing Han led his subordinates, quickly whipped up, and arrived at Baishui City half a day and one night in advance.

After letting his subordinates rest, Jing Han, accompanied by the garrison of Whitewater City, began to check the defense of Whitewater City.

There are 6,000 garrisons in Baishui City, but its garrison is Huaihualang, who is the fifth rank, and the official position is half a level lower than that of Jing Han from the fourth rank.

On the castle tower, Jing Han found two sentries dozing off. Angry, Jing Han flew up and kicked the two sentries awake and said, "Bastard, do you two want the Turks to slip in from under your noses?" What the hell are you thinking? If I see you sleeping again, then I'll cut you with a knife. Do you understand? ”

"Yes." The two sentinels said tremblingly.

"Be serious for me."

Zhuang Yu, a soldier from Baishui City, asked Zhou Xiangdao, a soldier of the Shenwu Battalion who came to assist them in defending the city, "Where is your hometown?" ”

"Yue Yang."

"Your hometown is much warmer than here, and the river won't freeze in winter. How long has it been since you've been home? ”

"It's been a year."

"Alas, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back, the Turks are very powerful."

"How powerful?"

"They rode accurately, killed with bows and arrows and javelins. Their horses were unimaginably fast, and the first time I saw them, I was so frightened that I got under the cart and hid. I wish we could make it home alive. Zhuang Yu was still a little scared when he recalled.

"Lao Zhuang, you don't have to be afraid, no matter how powerful the Turks are, they can't compare to our General Li's, we are mixed under his hands, then anything can survive. It's so cold, I'm going to leave for convenience. ”

"I'll watch, you go."

"Okay, be careful."

"Okay."

Du Haijiang, the guard of Baishui City, felt that the weather was too cold, so he should treat everyone and let the soldiers on duty drink some wine to keep out the cold.

An adjutant general asked Du Haijiang: "General Du, is this good?" Would you like to ask General Lee? ”

"No need to ask, the brothers are very hard, we are human beings, not dogs. I'll take care of anything. ”

The elite Turkic cavalry arrived five hours earlier than expected. And this time the Turks also learned well, and sent five hundred elites into the city half a month in advance, and five hundred Turkic wrestlers attacked the weakly defended south gate, and the main cavalry broke into the city by detouring to the south gate while it was dark.

Fierce street fighting ensued, with shouts of killing and a fire burning in the house.

Because the soldiers on duty were drunk and failed to warn in time, the Tang army suffered heavy casualties, and could only retreat in several high court strongholds in the city to resist hard.

The Turks were able to burn and loot all over the city, and when it was dawn, the Turks began to retreat ostentatiously with the food, women, and goods they had looted.

When Hou Junji and Dong Jialiang led the army to arrive, they were faced with a city of white water that was almost in ruins.

Although Li Jinghan held on to a stronghold, the city was broken and the army was defeated after all, and he was escorted to Hou Junji by the sword and axemen.

Jun Ji slapped the handsome table and said angrily: "Sin General Li Jinghan, you have such great skills, in the second year of Zhenguan, 50,000 Turkic troops besieged Baishui City for a month, but they failed to break through this city, and you lost this city in just one day's effort. ”
