Chapter 768: Come With Me (Part 1)
Thirty miles outside the secluded capital.
A dock fort built on the middle of the mountain, black smoke billowed straight down, and the woods in the middle of the mountain were burned down, apparently just experienced a bloody battle.
The walls of the horse-faced wall on the first floor outside the dock fort were littered with corpses, and on the black mud road leading to the city, blood flowed down the hill from the mooring, and in a half-collapsed house, the cry of a baby could be heard for a long time.
Jieli Khan rode his horse all the way down the mountain to the mountain, and halfway through the horse's hooves were stained with blood.
Jieli Khan looked at the corpses of many Turkic soldiers, who were carried out one by one, and couldn't help but furrow and asked the generals behind him: "How many men and horses did it take to attack this dock fort?" β
"Back to the Khan, two thousand troops were dispatched!"
"How many casualties?"
"More than two hundred."
Jieli Khan immediately stopped fighting and shouted: "How can there be so many casualties? β
The general hurriedly said: "Back to the Khan, the other party's resistance is very fierce. β
"Don't you understand me? This is just a dock fort, not a county seat, there are only Zhao Jun's township soldiers at most in the dock fort, you actually fight like this, someone came to drag me down, cut and feed the dogs. β
Jieli Khan was furious, and Zhao Deyan stepped forward on the side and said: "Khan is angry, not only this dock fort, but also the dock fort near Youjing, Zhao has established the country with force in the past few years, and the people in the territory worship martial arts and are warlike, and the land of Yan and Zhao is originally a fierce people, so these casualties are also normal." β
Jieli listened and looked at the general who had been taken down left and right, and said, "Let him go, but punish you for confiscating half of the looting proceeds from the capture of this dock fort as a punishment." β
The general saw that he was alive and dead. Immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Thank you, the khan will not kill." At the same time, he also showed a grateful look to Zhao Deyan.
And the generals will see that the rewards and punishments are clear. It's all in awe.
The general said: "Khan, there are more than 300 prisoners who have taken the fort. It's all old and weak, are they all killed? β
Jieli Khan thought for a moment and said, "No, leave thirty young men, kill the rest of the captives in front of them, and then let these people escape, let them sue the Zhao people, this is the fate of resisting my Turkic iron cavalry." You must know that it is not enough to defeat the Zhao people, we must destroy their courage. Let them hear the sound of the hooves of our Turks' horses, and their legs will go limp. β
The generals on the side praised together: "The Khan is clever. β
Jie Li said: "Okay, tell sΓΉ to disperse the warriors around and let them gather together under the Youjing City, there will be a big battle soon." β
Zhao Deyan said: "Khan, Great Zhao Youjing's troops are empty, and this battle is an opportunity for us to be ashamed." β
Jieli laughed and said, "Yes, this time I want to leave a profound lesson for Zhao Ren!" β
At the north gate of Youjing, the people who fled from the north. was congested in front of the city gate, and the Zhao army soldiers under the city tried their best to maintain the order of entering the city, and the people were very anxious at this time. But most of them still obeyed the command and entered the city one after another.
Li Zhiwan and Jian Xue sat in the carriage, with more than a dozen inner court guards. They were moving slowly in the ranks of the people.
"The young lady has been waiting for two hours before entering the city, and you see that it is almost dark. What will we do if the Turks come? Jian Xue said with a pout.
Jian Xue said so. Li Zhiwan shook her head, but suddenly her eyes froze.
Li Zhiwan was sitting in the carriage, but she walked to the front of the carriage, looked at the north from afar, and said, "No, the Turks are already here." β
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and then hundreds of people rushing from the north shouted: "The Turks are coming, the Turks are coming, run!" β
As soon as the news came out, there were still 20,000 or 30,000 people outside the city who had not yet entered the city, all of them were panicked, and they rushed towards the city gate regardless of the order at the moment. There were people crowding on all sides, and the guards guarding Li Zhiwan hurriedly ran to the top of the carriage and looked north, but when they saw that the sky was dark at this time, they couldn't see how many people were coming from the Turks.
All you can see is a faint myriad of torches, swaying on the plains below.
Jian Xue covered his mouth, as if he blamed his crow mouth, which attracted the Turks, but the guard general who guarded Li Zhiwan jumped out of the carriage and hugged Li Zhiwan and said: "Guifei Niangniang, the Turks have already been killed, and it is too late for us to slowly enter the city like this." You'll be followed in a moment. β
At this point, the general shouted to the left and right, "Let's escort the princess into the city together." β
The left and right guards drew their swords together, apparently intending to drive the crowd away and squeeze into the city gates. Li Zhiwan shook her head and said: "No, if this is the case, it is not trampling on other people, because of himself to live, and hurting other people, how can this palace feel at ease." β
The general said: "The task of the last general is only to protect the mother, as for the rest, the last general can't manage so much." β
Li Zhiwan said: "No, we don't have to go to Youjing, we can ride horses directly and go south, the Turks should only be forward scouts, in order to test the reality of Youjing, we will definitely not pursue south." β
The general listened to where he was willing, but when he saw Li Zhiwan's resolute expression, he didn't dare to say yes.
At this time, the people in front of the gate of Youjing City shouted together, and it turned out that the people poured into the gate of Youjing City, and they forcibly closed half of the door.
Under the dark, it was impossible to see the reality of the Turkic soldiers and horses, obviously because the guards were afraid that the Turks would enter the city gate, so they had to close the gate in advance. But all the people thought that the gates of the city were going to be closed, and they went toward the gates. The city gate was congested. The people even clashed with the guards of the city.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhiwan said to the general, "Do you still want to take me into the city gate now?" β
The general did not dare to argue at the moment when he heard this. saw Li Zhiwan make an unexpected move, she drew her sword and cut off the cables on the carriage. The two pack horses that led the carriage were all pulled out.
"Guifei Niangniang, what are you going to do?"
Li Zhiwan said: "Of course it's on the horse!" β
Li Zhiwan jumped on the pack horse, galloped to the nearby place where the people gathered, and said to the men gathered on all sides: "The Turks are coming, are you willing to follow me back to kill the Turks and protect your family?" β
Hearing Li Zhiwan say this, the men who were crowding towards the city gate stopped one after another, some of them were hesitating, and some of them still rushed to the city gate without asking.
At this time, dozens of Youyan men came on horseback. Everyone knows that they are local rangers. Yan Zhao has been fierce since ancient times, and most of the children of light chivalry and courage gathered together, emulating the generosity and chivalry of Jing Nie and the others, and fighting with others at every turn, in the eyes of the local government and the people, they are all unstable factors of public security.
These dozens of horses came, and one of them rolled his eyes on Li Zhiwan and said, "I thought that there were only a few of us left in Da Zhao who had eggs." I didn't expect that it was still a woman who stood up, and she was quite beautiful, brother, I admire it. β
"Bold and rude." Jian Xue saw that the other party's expression was light, and said angrily.
Li Zhiwan stopped Jian Xue and said, "Now that the enemy is present, are you willing to fight off the Turks with me?" β
"Don't take risks lightly!" Hearing that Li Zhiwan was going to attack the Turkic army array, the general hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
Li Zhiwan turned her head and glared, "Do you dare to listen to my words?" β
The guard general lowered his head and said, "I'm worried that Niangniang will make a mistake." β
Li Zhiwan pointed to the Turkic cavalry in the hazy night: "I have been a mother for less than a year, but I have been a general for more than ten years, so what is there to be afraid of." Will you go with me? β
The last sentence was since Li Zhiwan asked the group of rangers, the person who had just spoken lightly, seeing Li Zhiwan's awe-inspiring expression, he didn't dare to laugh at the moment and hugged his fists and said: "Of course!" β
Seeing this, Li Zhiwan rode to the crowd and said: "The Turks only have a few hundred horsemen to kill them, if they don't resist, they can only be killed by them before the city gate, you may die, but you can let your family survive." As a woman, I am willing to charge forward, will you come with me?
The men on the left and right nearby saw someone taking the lead and said, "We are willing to go with you." β
"Yes, you see that a delicate woman is not afraid of the Turks, what do we have to be afraid of."
"I'm willing to go, if it's a big deal, I'll die, and I'll still be a man in eighteen years."
On the official road, there is a family of four, namely a father-in-law, a daughter, a son-in-law, and a three-year-old boy.
"Child, mother, you take your son and our father into the city, I will guard here for you, if we don't stop it, we will enter the city immediately, so that I will be blind to death."
"It's none of your business to bring me back to me, stupid son-in-law." The father-in-law scolded this son-in-law and wanted to drag him back with all his might.
The son-in-law shook his head and said, "me, Dad, I've lived so big, I feel like a person today." β
"you, what's the dead guy?" The father-in-law scolded, but the man didn't look back.
The soldiers of Zhao who were scattered by the people nearby, as well as the men with weapons and horses, gathered together and followed behind Li Zhiwan and other cavalrymen. Farther behind, there were thousands of unarmed Qianshou following them.
The night breeze blew across Li Zhiwan's face, and the horse's hooves in front were like thunder, but Li Zhiwan, who had not been in battle for a long time, did not feel unfamiliar at all, but opened her bow and shot an arrow at the oncoming Turkic cavalry.
There was a neighing of the war horse ahead, and a Turk rolled off his horse.
"Well shot!"
The men on the left and right all shouted together, and the ranger leader and the guard general were dumbfounded, and an arrow shot down the Turkic cavalry from hundreds of paces away, and they couldn't believe that such a good cavalry shot appeared on a woman.
Seeing that Li Zhiwan was so powerful, everyone still had any suspicions at the moment, and rushed with Li Zhiwan at the moment.
An hour later, the Great Tent of the Turkic Central Army.
A fast horse headed towards the Chinese army, and a Turkic ranger covered in blood entered the big tent and knelt down to Jieli and said: "Khan, it's not good, the scout we sent was ambushed by the Zhao army in Youjing, and the three hundred-man team were annihilated by the Zhao army.
