In the blink of an eye, we have entered the cool autumn and the breeze is very pleasant.

But Li Shimin didn't feel cool, and his heart was still hot and restless.

As long as he thought that his father disposed of Liu Wenjing while he was not in Chang'an, his mood could not calm down.

He couldn't imagine what would happen to the situation in Chang'an if he had been fighting outside for too long?

Could it be that when he goes back, his power in the court will be almost eradicated?

Every time he thinks about this question, Li Shimin really wants to have a pair of eagle wings and fly back to Chang'an immediately......

If he wants to return to Chang'an quickly, he must deal with Jieli Khan, at least to repel Jieli Khan, so that he has no way to invade Datang in a short time.

Thinking about this, Li Shimin convened all the generals and advisers to discuss countermeasures.

"This time, we confronted Jieli Khan, more victories and fewer defeats, since yesterday, Jieli Khan has become cautious and did not respond, I think, the time has come for us to launch a general offensive."

Li Shimin's finger swiped on the map: "I plan to launch a surprise attack and seize Mayi."

"Cheng Zhijie, Chang He, you led a thousand cavalry to attack the southern gate of Mayi, attacking with firearms to deter the Turkic soldiers.

"Qin Shubao, Zhang Liang, you each led 5,000 infantry to attack from the flank, and I led the rest of the army to make a detour to attack their rear.

"Tomorrow and then, use fireworks as a signal, attack at the same time, and catch them off guard."

As for Li Shimin's decision, everyone has always had no opinion, and immediately expressed their approval.

Next, they discussed the details and then went their separate ways to prepare.

......

On the second day, at the end of the day.

The Tang army led by Li Shimin took advantage of the dim sky to divide into four routes and quietly set off.

It wasn't until the Tang army approached the city that the Turkic generals who were in charge of patrolling the city wall found out and hurriedly sent people to report to Jieli Khan.

"Bang!"

A beautiful firework suddenly exploded in the dim sky, followed by the explosion of firearms.

"Khan, the Tang army used those terrifying firearms again." The soldiers reported to the Khan of Jieli.

Jieli Khan didn't say anything, and walked directly to the city wall, followed by a group of warriors and ministers.

"Bang!"

"Khan, get down."

As soon as Jieli Khan walked to the city wall, wanting to observe the battle situation under the city, a huge fireball flew from the opposite side, and Zhao Deyan, who was standing beside him, reacted quickly and immediately pounced towards Jieli Khan.

The two fell to the ground and escaped, but the fireball grazed through the battlements and landed behind them, smashing into a huge fire pit.

Feeling the heat wave, Zhao Deyan stood up suddenly, and the gravel on his body fell to the ground with his movements.

He didn't care about the wound on his back, grabbed Jieli Khan and ran down: "Khan, this place is dangerous, let's go back to the Shifu." ”

"Ah......" Jieli Khan shouted, so frightened that Zhao Deyan hurriedly let go of him, thinking that he had hurt him.

However, as soon as he let go, Jieli Khan fell.

Zhao Deyan's heart was excited, and he hurriedly went to help Jieli Khan: "Khan, are you okay?" ”

"My foot is sprained." Jieli Khan said with pain.

Zhao Deyan saw that Jieli Khan was drenched in cold sweat on his forehead, and his expression was very painful, it should be that when he pounced just now, his movements were too violent, causing Jieli Khan to sprain his foot.

A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he squatted down in front of Jieli Khan: "Khan, I'll carry you away." ”

Jieli Khan was a little moved, at this critical moment, Zhao Deyan could still think of carrying him away, and did not leave him to flee for his life, which can be regarded as loyalty, and it is not in vain that he favors Zhao Deyan on weekdays.

"Bang!"

This delay, the artillery of the Don Army came.

However, the cannon did not hit Jieli Khan, but entered the city wall, which shook and Jieli Khan fell again.

At this time, Zhi Zhi Sili ran over, and without saying a word, he picked up Jieli Khan and ran down the city.

Zhao Deyan wanted to make a contribution, but he didn't expect to be snatched away, and he was very unhappy. But in order to survive, he did not hesitate to follow the obsession.

After leaving the city wall, Jieli Khan instructed left and right: "Mobilize troops and horses to rescue the south gate, and be sure to block the attack of the Tang army." ”

"Oh no......"

A number of soldiers rushed over and said to Jieli Khan: "Khan, it's not good, the Tang army is attacking the east gate." ”

"The Tang army is attacking Ximen."

"The Tang army is attacking the north gate."

Jieli Khan: "......"

He was silent for a moment and asked, "Which direction did Li Shimin come from?" ”

"North." The soldier replied.

Jieli Khan immediately ordered: "Dispatch forty percent of the troops to support the north gate, and the other three doors each send two percent of the troops, and be sure to hold the Mayi." ”

"Yes, Khan."

Everyone went their own way.

Jieli Khan patted his disability: "You let me down, let them carry me, you go to the north gate, you must not let Li Shimin break through the city gate." ”

"Yes." Lost his thinking and turned over his horse and walked away.

Seeing this, Zhao Deyan squatted down in front of Jieli Khan again: "Khan, I'll carry you back." ”

Jieli Khan didn't say anything, and lay directly on Zhao Deyan's back.

When the group returned to the Assassin's Mansion, the doctor was already waiting in the room, and after saluting, he immediately treated Jieli Khan's foot injury.

"Khan, your foot didn't hurt your muscles and bones, but it was just sprained, insist on rubbing medicine and massage every day, and you can recover after ten days of rest."

Jieli Khan was a little irritable and waved his hand: "You go down first." ”

The doctor packed up the medicine box and exited the room.

Zhao Deyan took the opportunity to speak: "Khan, I once saw their firearms in the Tang Dynasty, they are very powerful, and we can't last long."

"And if we resist hard, we will lose a lot of troops, so it's better for us to give up Mayi."

"Nope." Yuan Junzhang suddenly appeared at the door and walked in.

He first inquired about Jieli Khan's injury, and after learning that it was okay, he continued the topic just now: "Khan, we have finally defeated Mayi, give up at this time, and it will be difficult to recapture it from the Tang army."

"And we have held out for so long, and we haven't seen the Tang army break through the city gate, so we don't need to panic.

"Although the firearms of the Tang army are very powerful, there are many of us, and we will definitely be able to resist the attack of the Tang army, so the khan does not have to worry.

"We can also take this opportunity to consume the firearms and forces of the Tang Army, so that we can continue to move south."

Jieli Khan showed a contemplative expression, as if considering Yuan Junzhang's opinion.

Zhao Deyan scoffed: "You want to consume the strength of the Tang Army, then have you ever thought that while consuming the strength of the Tang Army, our troops will be consumed faster?"

"At that time, when Li Shimin's reinforcements arrive, we will be in an even more dangerous situation."

Yuan Junzhang immediately retorted: "How is it possible? The Khan led the Turkic iron cavalry, and the Tang army would definitely not be able to defeat it. ”

"That was in the past, but now it's different." Zhao Deyan said: "Today's Datang has firearms, but we don't, which is very unfavorable to us. ”

Without waiting for Yuan Junzhang to speak, Zhao Deyan hurriedly advised: "Khan, anyway, we have looted a lot of property, enough for us to survive this winter."

"Take it when you see it, otherwise you will lose a lot of ......"
