The black powder was about to approach the city, Xu Ziling saw that Ashina Xingyue and the others were all paying attention to it, taking advantage of this gap, he hurriedly snatched the dagger in Ashina Xingyue's hand, and then covered her shoulders and jumped towards a big tree in the city wall.

Outside the city gate, the heart-rending roars of Li Zongqing and Chang He were buried by the explosion of gunpowder.

The limbs of the Turkic soldiers at the head of the city were blown apart, and people couldn't help but feel sick when they saw it.

The power of gunpowder was huge, which not only frightened the Turkic soldiers who did not die at the city gate, but also stunned the group of Tang troops under the city gate.

"Hurry up and break the city!" Li Jing ordered, and the group of cavalry rushed towards the city gate first.

Li Zongqing didn't care about anything else at the moment, she rushed out with this group of cavalry, at this moment she had only one thought in her heart, Xu Ziling, you can't die, you must not die!

"You girl, fool!" Li Jingqi's beard straightened, and he said to a few guards beside him: "Go, go and protect Li in the army!" ”

There were more and more Turkic soldiers at the head of the city, and when Li Jing saw it, he immediately ordered: "Keep bombing!" ”

The power of gunpowder was so great that in a short time the Turkic soldiers were strewn all over the field, and there were now less than 5,000 of the more than 10,000 soldiers, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Although the Tang army only had 3,000 people, these 3,000 people were all selected elite soldiers, and the Tang army did not bother to kill all the Turkic soldiers without effort or mercy.

Li Zongqing and Chang He hurriedly came to the perimeter of the city wall where Xu Ziling Shicai was located with a few soldiers, their faces were full of nervousness, looking at the disgusting stumps and severed bodies all over the ground, Li Zongqing couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea.

But she was still stubbornly looking in the sea of corpses, hoping in her heart that she would never find Xu Ziling's body!

I don't know when, Li Jing has come to Li Zongqing's side, she is completely unknown, she still drives the horse and keeps walking, staring at the corpse on the ground with a pair of eyes, and she can't help vomiting several times!

"You girl, aren't you the kid who fell in love with Xu Ziling?" Li Jing said.

Li Zongqing didn't seem to hear Li Jing's words, still frowning, constantly looking around, at this moment, Chang He suddenly shouted: "Captain's clothes!" ”

Li Zongqing only felt his heart tighten, and looked in the direction pointed by Chang He, and really saw Xu Ziling's bloody clothes, and there were several stumps next to this clothes, and he couldn't tell who it was.

Li Zongqing only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the whole person fell off the horse, but fortunately, Li Jing reacted quickly and took Li Zongqing into his arms as soon as possible.

Li Jing looked around, looked at the sky again, and hurriedly ordered: "Clean up the corpse, then hold Dingxiang tightly, and put all the remaining black powder at the head of the city for safekeeping!" ”

This time to attack Dingxiang, Li Jing has already made a strategic deployment, this deployment is divided into two parts, first, with 3,000 light cavalry, quickly occupy Dingxiang, this first step has obviously been achieved, although the process is a bit tragic, but the goal is good, even a little sacrifice is not hesitated.

Second, and the key, is that the consequence of doing this is that it will attract the crazy backlash of Jieli Khan, so he must rely on 3,000 people to hold Dingxiang, and at the same time, the army of Li Shichang and Chai Shao also moved closer to Dingxiang at the same time, annihilating the main force of Jieli Khan in one fell swoop, then this battle will be declared a victory.

So, now all Li Jing has to do is wait and wait for Jieli Khan!

After making a series of deployments, Li Jing took Li Zongqing back to the city to rest, looking at Li Zongqing in his arms, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh, this surprise attack, there are many ideas from Li Zongqing, this girl's idea is not only crazy but also practical!

"Report!" Just as Li Jing was making his hair, a soldier's report outside the door rang out.

Li Jing looked at Li Zongqing who was lying on the bed, then quietly closed the door, came to the door with his hands behind his back and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Report to the chief administrator, all the searches in the city have been made, and it is reported that Kang Sumi and some of the soldiers have fled back to the army where Jieli Khan is!"

"Oh." Li Jing said lightly, "You go down!" ”

I don't know how long it took, Li Zongqing finally opened her eyes slowly, as if she had been evacuated, her eyes were dull, and her expression was dull.

"Qing'er, you...... It's okay, don't scare Ayya! Li Jing sat next to Li Zongqing and said with concern.

"Dead, he's dead! I single-handedly killed him, and if I hadn't come up with this bad idea, he wouldn't have died! Li Zongqing said dumbfoundedly.

"How could it be that you killed him, the war is so ruthless, you cheer up quickly, Aya still needs you!" Li Jing said.

"It's me who died...... It's not good for me, Brother Xu......" I don't know when, tears have flowed from the corners of Li Zongqing's eyes, like a flood that has broken the embankment.

"This ...... If you continue like this, I will die on the battlefield if you can't say anything! Li Jing said with tears in his eyes, "Xu Ziling's death was an accident, none of us want to do this, but do you know, if I don't order an attack, if Jieli Khan's army attacks, not only Xu Ziling will die, but the three thousand sons behind me, me, and you will all be killed by the Turks!" ”

"Dead ......" Li Zongqing continued as if he hadn't heard Li Jing's words.

"Qing'er, I don't know how many good sons there are in the world, don't do this to yourself!" Li Jing said, "I, Pharmacist Li, have been on the battlefield for so many years, how can my daughter be like this? ”

Seeing that Li Zongqing was still like this, Li Jing sighed and went out with his hands behind his back.

Now is not the time for children to grow up, at night, Li Jing went to the gate of Dingxiang City with his hands behind his back, and he said to all the soldiers: "Sons, stick to this place to prevent the Turkic sneak attack!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report: "Newspaper, chief manager, according to the front waiting report, Jieli Khan's army was originally heading towards Dingxiang, but not long ago, the army did not advance but retreated, and at this moment it has retreated to Yinshan with the main force!" ”

"What?" Li Jing frowned, this old guy Jieli is really very shrewd, knowing that I have set up a plan in Dingxiang to wait for him to enter the urn.

But now there is a problem again, since Jieli Khan has retreated, what should he do? Do you want to chase after you with three thousand? It was the Turkic hinterland, and they were all elite soldiers, and Li Jing was not sure.

Is it to keep the Dingxiang? Guarding here, then if he brings these 3,000 people to Dingxiang, it is equivalent to doing useless work, what should I do? Li Jing couldn't help but think of Li Zongqing, after he made some defensive arrangements at the head of the city, he quickly came to Li Zongqing's residence.
