The prince sighed: "Hmph, that prince must also know this person, don't let him underestimate him." Mr. Gao, you are here to let the army change back to the banner armor of the Great Turks, don't leave any truth for the people of the Sui Dynasty! ”

After the prince finished speaking, he said to the Sui army colonel opposite: "Okay, then you reply to your General Li, just say that I will meet him in front of the battle, and I will meet on a single horse!" ”

The little school's face did not change, and he bowed and said, "The little one will go and repay General Li." He flicked his horse's head and was about to gallop back, when he heard the prince say, "Wait a minute, what is your name, and what is your official position now?" Can you sue me? ”

As soon as the little colonel turned around, he showed a tiger tooth and smiled slightly: "The little one's surname is Su, the name is Lie, and now General Li is serving as the herald colonel." ”

The mouth of the Dubi prince muttered, "Su Lie? Su Lie! Okay, I've made a note of it, you go back to your family, General Li, to get back to your life. ”

The prince watched Su Lie from afar, running into the distance, his brows wrinkled together, thinking about something intently, Gao Baoyi smiled slightly: "Your Royal Highness, are you also interested in this little school?" ”

Prince Dubi sighed: "This person is just a small colonel, but when he saw me, a Turkic prince, and saw tens of thousands of iron horsemen behind me, he could still be quiet and calm, looking at his appearance, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his beard had not yet grown, but he had such determination, it was really amazing, the herald was like this, presumably "Then Li Jing is more of a hero, Mr. Gao, you are right, I should not look at the real hero with the current rank." ”

Gao Baoyi nodded: "It's just His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't it a bit risky for you to go over to see that Li Jing alone?" In case this guy suddenly strikes and hurts you. We don't have time to rescue here. ”

The prince of Dubi was arrogant. Haha laughed. With his legs between the belly of the horse, the tall and fierce red horse neighed and rushed forward, and in a blink of an eye it was more than ten zhang away, and the confident voice of the prince of Dubi floated over with the strong wind on the grassland: "If I, Ashina, dare not even face it alone, then I don't need to occupy the position of this prince!" ”

A moment later, Li Jing and Prince Dubi rode alone. Meeting in the open space about ten miles before the formation of the two armies, neither of them had long weapons, and the two fierce horses were also looking at the same kind on the opposite side, their eyes were wide open, and they kept snorting rough air from their noses, while the two people on the horses seemed to be calm, and even looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

Li Jing still hugged his fists first: "Li Jing, the right guard of the school, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Dubi." ”

Prince Dubi laughed. With a wave of the horsewhip in his right hand, today's meeting. He deliberately wanted to suppress Li Jing in the momentum at the beginning, and now the relationship between the two sides is very delicate, but they can be friends and enemies, but at least at the moment when there is no sword soldier, the Turks, as a subject country of the Great Sui, his status as a prince is still much higher than that of a five-grade inspector Huyalang.

I only heard the prince of Dubi say: "General Li is exempt, this prince only led the army to arrive today because of the wind and sand on the road, and missed the appointment, what's the matter, has your army of the Great Sui begun to attack the city?" ”

Li Jing smiled slightly, he and Wang Shichong had already had a plan yesterday for this kind of face-to-face nonsense, and they were already familiar with the words of response: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are late, our army has begun to attack the city, just half an hour ago, the east gate has been captured by our army, and now our army is entering the city in a steady stream, clearing out the remnants of the enemy, and it is expected that the whole city will be occupied soon." ”

Prince Dubi's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "So, has the enemy's Kuzhen Tutun been caught?" ”

Li Jing replied without humility or arrogance: "The last general is only responsible for the garrison of the army, and does not participate in the siege, so the battle situation ahead, the last general does not know, only knows that if there is an enemy army attacking the rear of our army, he will not hesitate to counterattack it!" ”

A trace of anger flashed in Prince Dubi's eyes: "General Li, what are you talking about, could it be that our Great Turkic reinforcements are also enemy troops?" ”

Li Jing smiled slightly: "Then why did Prince Dubi just now carry the golden wolf banner of the Western Turks and wear the clothes and armor of the Western Turks?" ”

Prince Dubi's face suddenly became ugly, and after a few sentences, he said: "Well, it's because we heard that there is a war ahead, so we want to change it to the banner of the Western Turks, and secretly detour to stop the reinforcements of the Western Turks. ”

Li Jing laughed and waved his hand: "His Royal Highness the Prince is really painstaking, and at the end of the year, he will definitely convey His Royal Highness's kindness to our family Xue Dashuai and General Wang, but now on the battlefield, it is difficult to argue with the enemy and me, and people who don't know the situation will still think that His Royal Highness the Prince is the enemy army of the Western Turks!" Besides, even if it is the Western Turkic cavalry, it may do the opposite, raise the banner of His Royal Highness the Prince, and then surprise our army, after all, you two Turks are of the same race, and the combat mode and military system are almost identical, in the eyes of our Sui people, there is not much difference. ”

A hint of anger flashed in Prince Dubi's eyes: "In that case, why did the Supreme Order me to wait thousands of miles to come as this reinforcement?" Now that Prince Ben is here with 50,000 iron horsemen, you say that we are no different from those rebels of the Western Turks, hmph, General Li's words today, I must ask for an explanation in front of Xue Dashuai and even the Supreme Being! ”

The smile on Li Jing's face gradually dissipated, and he said calmly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, when the Supreme invited your Turkic army to come to Yiwu to help in the war, I didn't expect that the Western Turkic Kuzhen Tutun would dare to openly rebel, so I asked your father Khan to send troops to help in the war, if His Royal Highness the Prince's army did not miss the deadline, it would be no problem to meet with my army a few days earlier, but now on the battlefield, it is difficult to argue with the enemy and me, even if His Royal Highness the Prince personally leads the army, now I am afraid that it will be difficult to play a role, our Xue Dashuai and General Wang have orders, If His Royal Highness the Prince's troops come, after confirming His Royal Highness's identity, in order to avoid misunderstanding. He also asked His Royal Highness the Prince to retreat thirty miles. After our army captures the city of Igo. Then send someone to contact His Royal Highness the Prince, and when the time comes, the work of breaking the city will be shared between the two of us, and we will definitely not treat His Royal Highness the Prince badly. ”

Prince Dubi's face was flushed, and he said angrily: "General Li, what do you think of me Ashina? We, the men of the prairie, will never rob the military merits that do not belong to us, if this battle is not fought by us. Then we won't have any credit for breaking the city, but I kindly remind you that Kuzhen Tutun has been operating in the Western Regions for many years, and his strength is not weak, far from the thousands of soldiers in this Yiwu City, if you think that if you think that you have attacked Yiwu City, you will win the battle, then the prince can only express regret, the main cavalry of the people has not yet entered the battle! ”

Li Jing smiled slightly: "Those tens of thousands of cavalry." Xue Dashuai and General Wang have already made a perfect response, and they are under such generals. It has already been divided into the four gates of the formation, set up a formation, not afraid of these Turkic cavalry coming, afraid that they will not come, since eight years ago our Sui army iron cavalry broke the head of the Khan, the soldiers' swords, have long been hungry and thirsty! ”

The prince hatefully whipped the horsewhip in the air, and said angrily: "Okay, very good, it seems that this prince has come in vain this time, since Xue Dashuai and General Wang are so confident, please also ask General Li to go back and tell them, just say that since they don't need the support of our Great Turks, we will go back, the crime of breaking the contract, this prince will receive it from the Supreme in the future, and General Li's rudeness to our Great Turks today, I'll definitely write it down, the mountains don't turn around, let's see." ”

Li Jing said coldly: "Your Royal Highness, are you leaving?" Marshal Xue and General Wang have repeatedly instructed that after this battle, they will have a good banquet with you to celebrate! ”

Li Jing looked at the back of Prince Dubi from a distance, his face sank like water, and the wind and sand blew on his face, making his ink-dyed sword eyebrows turn into a faint gold, and the sound of horses' hooves on one side was Li Jing's deputy generals Su Xie and Su Lie's father and son, with more than a dozen personal soldiers and knights, rushed over.

Su Xie looked at the distant Dubi Khan and asked Li Jing, "General Li, how are you talking?" ”

Li Jing turned his head to look at Su Xie, and smiled slightly, this Su Xie is about forty, he is a native of Wuyi, Jizhou, Hebei, for the local hero, and the Northern Qi can be regarded as a family of military generals, after the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, there was no government soldier in the eastern part of the country, so the Su family began to decline, when Li Jing traveled the world, he had become acquainted with this Su Xie when he passed through Hebei, and he was a good friend, Li Jing, who had no official status at the time, gave Su Xie an idea, and asked him to find a way to enter Xue Shixiong's Youyun Army to serve, and wrote a letter of recommendation for him, relying on this relationship, Su Xie joined Xue Shixiong's subordinates smoothly, and achieved military merits during the conquest of Yang Liang, and was promoted to brigade commander, only one level away, and he could be promoted to Huyalang general.

And this child named Su Lie, the word Dingfang, this year is seventeen, is Su Xie's beloved son, has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, especially horse lance kung fu and riding archery, which is not inferior to the children of the Guanlong family, Li Jing, who is proficient in the art of spear and lance, once taught him martial arts and the art of war with the teenage Su Lie, and he was deeply surprised, knowing that this son would become a great weapon in the future, so Li Jing simply took Su Lie with him after leaving Yingzhou, and taught him a unique knowledge, and he didn't expect this time to conquer Yiwu country, Li Jing's master and apprentice actually reunited with Su Xie here, Wang Shichong knew the relationship between the two, so he asked Xue Shixiong to put the father and son master and apprentice in the rear army, in case the prince was in the battle against the water.

Li Jing said: "It seems that the prince is still not giving up, if we are not well guarded today, I am afraid that they will still take advantage of the situation to raid, anything can happen on the battlefield, now although the prince is angry, but there is still the possibility of killing a horse pistol, we still need to pay close attention to his every move, and we must not be careless." ”

Su Xie gritted his teeth: "Hmph, the Turks don't have any good things, they are all wolf-hearted guys, ungrateful, General Li, do you want to report to Xue Dashuai or General Wang, and pursue them after the fight?" ”

Li Jing shook his head: "By all means, after all, the prince of Dubi has no substantive rebellion, we can't just attack them like this, our task is to ensure that General Wang's back does not let the Turks affect our siege, and now the prince is probably about to withdraw his troops, Ah Lie, you have to keep an eye on their signs, especially to see if they divide their troops to go somewhere else, until their whole army withdraws a hundred miles away, and then come back to report." ”

Su Xie blinked: "Why do you want to be a hundred miles away?" ”

Li Jing smiled slightly, turned his head and looked at Yiwu City, which was still emitting black smoke more than ten miles behind him: "Because of the distance of a hundred miles, it will take them a day and a night to walk back and forth, and by the time the sun sets today, the battle must have ended!" ”

At the south gate of Yiwu City, Yi Bi He Li stood at the head of the city, his face was gloomy, only the green light in his eyes flashed, he had no intention of looking at the Sui army outside the south city at this time, after more than an hour, he finally understood that these Sui troops were just feints, with catapults, even the archers were not sent forward, there was no intention of attacking the city at all, but the west gate and the east gate were in two directions, the sound of killing shook the sky, especially the east gate, it looked like the fire was everywhere, the sky was full of black smoke, I am afraid that eighty percent has fallen! However, Yi Bi He Li still tried his best to maintain more composure, because he knew that at this time, as long as he was a little messy, the Yiwu King Turpan next to him, who was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, would definitely be even more overwhelmed.

A sweaty Yiwu soldier ran over with a long voice: "Report! ”

Turpan stopped pacing back and forth, rushed forward, grabbed the little soldier, and said, "How is the battle going, tell me quickly!" ”

The little soldier cried and said: "If you return to the king, at the West Gate, Kuzhen Tutun fell for the tricks of the Sui people, and lost 2,000 soldiers, and now he has been forced to abandon the walls of the outer city and retreat to the urn city to defend!" ”

Turpan's body shook, weakly let go of the hand holding the little soldier, took two steps back in despair, shook his head, and said in disbelief: "No, impossible!" The archers of the Great Turks are unparalleled in the world, how can they not deal with the Sui army! ”

The little soldier didn't dare to raise his head, and cried: "It's not that Kuzhen Tutun is not properly commanded, it's really that the Sui people are too cunning, and the Sui people's catapults can send more than a dozen catties of stones from a mile away, and where they are smashed, they will crack a big piece, and even the city wall will collapse!" ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "What about the east gate?" How's the East Gate? (To be continued......) R1292
