Chapter 939: Siege
On the third day, the 100,000 cavalry led by Tuli were killed under the city of Taiyuan, and the black pressure was overwhelming.
"A clown-like character who jumps off the beam, after this time, I will kill this guy sooner or later." Li Xin looked at Tu Li, who was showing off his might under the city, his face was gloomy, and the killing opportunity was bound to appear.
"Tuli, are you provoking my bottom line?" Li Xin's voice was very loud and spread to the city.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks did not provoke the Tang Dynasty, but persuaded peace, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were friends, friendly for generations, why kill each other, everyone might as well guard the borders, so as not to suffer misery, isn't it better?" Tuli Khan rode on a horse, his face showed a smug look, he didn't expect that from Yanmen to Lou Fu, there were not many soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty, so that he killed himself in a very short period of time, he was killed under the city of Taiyuan, presumably Li Xin didn't dare to run if he wanted to run at this time, after all, there was still a lot of food and people in the city.
The only pity is that Taiyuan cannot be conquered this time, otherwise, Li Xin will be captured, which will be a big deal, and he can get more benefits from Datang. However, it is good that at least I can be comfortable between two powerful neighbors and get more living space.
"Your Majesty, wait for the minister to go out and kill this guy." Wei Chigong's face turned red, and he pointed at Tuli and scolded: "What is it, actually showing off his might in front of His Majesty." ”
"Don't worry, the dog bites you, do you still want to bite the dog?" Li Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "That's fine, don't worry about the general's grain and grass, Taiyuan is also garrisoned by 30,000 troops, and it is difficult to break through Taiyuan City if you want to come to Tuli, so it's not very good for them to think they have a plan!" ”
"Your Majesty." When Wei Chigong heard this, he could only hold back the anger in his heart, and looked at Tuli coldly, eager to rush out immediately at this moment. Took the head of Turi.
"Your Majesty, the minister really won't attack Taiyuan if he sees this Tuli." Cen Wenwen said: "Otherwise, he would not have spoken to His Majesty in such a tone." ”
"You can't take it lightly, although for the time being, he won't attack Taiyuan City, that's because he doesn't want to lose too many soldiers and horses, if there is really a chance, Tuli will definitely not give up such an opportunity." Li Xin nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Tuli is timid, according to the news from Jinyiwei, almost all the soldiers of Yanmen and Loufu were killed. Only a few people escaped, although the people were plundered a lot, but Tuli didn't kill many people, this guy was afraid of annoying me, so he didn't order the slaughter of the people, but dared to attack the Tang Dynasty, that is to offend my bottom line, how can I let you go back to the grassland so simply. ”
"Most of the people in the frontier are strong, and the Turks attacked Taiyuan. Naturally, there are righteous people who will pick up the bows and arrows in their hands and form a righteous army, King Qianliqin, and sneak attack these Turks along the way. Cen Wenwen said with confidence: "Whether it's Jieli Khan." Or Tuli, I would never have thought that the last thing that Datang lacked was righteous soldiers, and the Turkic soldiers were about to fall into the sea of wars among the people of Datang. ”
"Let them bark outside. At night, the drums are beaten every half hour, and they can also harass Tuli. Let him not sleep well at night, see how arrogant he is. Li Xin pointed to the Turkic camp being built in the distance.
Tuli Khan was very annoyed, he thought that he could see Li Xin's nervous appearance, but unfortunately, Li Xin only met him on the city wall, and then went down the city wall, as if he had never appeared, and let him shout under the city wall for a long time, and did not see any movement from the other party.
When it was night, when Tuli was resting with Princess Huainan in his arms, he suddenly heard the rumbling of war drums on the city wall, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and suddenly he got up from the marching couch, and quickly put on his armor, and then he killed the big tent, and when he arrived outside the big tent, he found that there was chaos in the big camp.
"What's going on? There is an enemy attack, is Li Xin killed? Tuli met Yelu Soma, but when he saw Yelu Soma, he was also panicked.
"It shouldn't be, otherwise, it would have been killed by this time." Yelu Xiangma's face was gloomy, looking at Taiyuan City in the distance, he had already noticed the calculation coming from afar, it was simply for calculation, so that the army could not sleep at night.
"Did he Li Xin really think that Ben Khan would not attack? It's really urgent, I will attack Taiyuan tomorrow, and I must defeat Taiyuan. Tuli Khan's eyes widened, his fists clenched, and he looked at the Taiyuan city wall in the distance.
"I'm afraid this is exactly what he wants to see, Taiyuan City is extremely fortified, there is a lot of grain and grass in it, and the 30,000 army is enough to defend Taiyuan." Yelu Xiangma thought for a while and shook his head and said: "He is just looking at us and laughing at us now, wishing that we would attack immediately, the losses are too much, and when the time comes, the Great Khan will continue to attack, or withdraw his troops back to the grassland!" Only at this time, guaranteeing an army of 100,000 can threaten the Tang army, if it is a little less, we will be unlucky in the end. ”
"Can't it go on like this?" The Turki Khan was still a little unwilling.
"Trap these people, trap Taiyuan, you can't let a grain of grain in Taiyuan leave here, as long as there is a shortage of food on the front line of Datang, it means that we have won this operation." Yelu Soma whispered.
"Damn." The Turki Khan also knew that his generals had a point. Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to look at the city wall in the distance, and there were bursts of war drums on the city wall. The sudden profit of anger does not know how to be good.
However, Tuli still underestimated Li Xin's shamelessness, whether it was day or night, this kind of war drums always sounded every half an hour, deafening, those Turkic soldiers themselves did not sleep well at night, and when it came to daytime, they had to be careful of Li Xin's cavalry sudden attack, in general, it was very tiring to live.
However, Tuli was also ruthless, and the 100,000-strong army blocked the water of Taiyuan, especially the city gate leading to the north was besieged to death, and the birds could not fly out, just to prevent Li Xin from transporting grain and grass to the front line of Dingxiang.
"Great Khan, now that we have surrounded Taiyuan City, not only will the grain and grass on Li Jing's side be threatened, but more importantly, Li Xin himself, if the emperor has a problem, the subjects of their country will be anxious, and the general will think that at this time, they should attack the surroundings to get more money and grain and grass." Yelu Xiangma looked at Taiyuan City in front of him and said proudly. (To be continued.) )
