Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 137 Ruthless
After King Wu left, King Chu immediately changed his face and shouted loudly outside the door: "Come on, come on!" β
After that, he sat on the chair and drank himself, the king of Chu was also thinking about the second Turkic prince, when he said that he gave himself a few Deadpools, he could help him get rid of the people he wanted to get rid of, and he was willing to sacrifice these people to save himself and return to Chang'an, how could he be so naΓ―ve to believe it at that time.
After thinking about it again, not long after the accident happened in the capital, the border immediately started a war, is this the purpose of the second Turkic prince? Now King Wu suddenly came over and said that he wanted to help himself, although only half of him could believe it, but it still hit his heart, for the supreme throne, King Chu never gave up.
"Although I can't figure out what the third brother wants to do, but as he said, there are not many troops in Chang'an now, if I really send troops out, maybe I can really take him." The king of Chu was talking to himself, and his people also heard the news.
The King of Chu looked at the king and said with some dissatisfaction: "Two black-clothed people came to my room just now, are you people eating dry food?" A bunch of rubbish! β
Commander Wang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly explained: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the villain has been guarding outside, and I really haven't seen anyone come in!" β
The king of Chu didn't bother to care about him, and said while thinking about strengthening the defense: "You send someone to the border to investigate, if you find a large number of people gathering at the border, leave and tell me!" β
The king led the order to leave, and the king of Chu hummed a little song, as if he was full of confidence in the future.
The internal turmoil of the Tang Dynasty was surging, and the border of the frontier was also in turmoil at this time.
Chengxin and Cheng Chumo were both staring at the situation under the mountain from a high place at this time, and the Turkic cavalry was opening the road in front, and they were fearless at this time as if they were going home, and they rushed towards Jingzhou City without any scruples.
At this time, the general of the Turks was the second prince of the Turks, and the second prince rode a horse in the middle, seeing that the place where Jingzhou City was located not far away, did not ignite the wolf smoke that was said in advance, although he was not worried about the life or death of Ashina Muyun, but the 10,000 soldiers of the advance army were real Turkic strong soldiers, and it would be a joke if the whole army led by Ashina Muyun's idiot was annihilated.
At this time, the second Turkic prince's face was full of solemnity, he didn't know whether what that person said was true or not, if Jingzhou City was not heavily guarded as he said, then his confident action this time would have become a complete joke.
He continues to give himself firm confidence, but his heart is becoming more and more bottomless, although Datang has always been an evasive and appeased attitude towards the Turks in recent years, but he sees the progress of Datang in his eyes.
The second prince walked in the middle and was full of worries, and suddenly found that there was a commotion in front of him, and the second prince hurriedly stopped the march, dismounted and stepped forward to check what was going on.
The soldiers and horses in front of him were also very chaotic, the second prince walked over from the crowd, and after crossing the crowd, he found that there was suddenly a big pit in front of him where the sharp turn was made, and there were nearly ten soldiers and horses in the pit at this time, and they were lying in pain in the pit at this time, and even a few of them had been silent.
The second prince was a little unhappy, and the commander behind him also asked, "Second Highness, what should we do!" β
The second prince looked at the direction of Jingzhou City not far away, and said a little ruthlessly: "Come on, dig some soil and fill this pit." Continue the march afterward! β
With that, they turned around and went back, and the soldiers, looking at their dead compatriots, also chose to obey the order, and soon the large pit where the corpses of men and horses were buried was filled.
The Turkic soldiers stepped on the corpse of their brother and rushed in the direction of Jingzhou City, and when the heart on the mountain saw this scene, he only felt that they were really ruthless, and Cheng Chumo couldn't stop nodding on the side and said: "These two princes are also a generation of heroes, and they didn't even try, so they gave up the soldiers in the pit!" β
At this time, he was powerless to sigh at the ruthlessness of the second prince, looking at Jingzhou City in the distance and giving the last signal, he still hoped that Li Chengqian could leave, these people in front of him were not Jingzhou City that could be defended at this time.
Li Chengqian did not reply, at this time he was waiting for the arrival of the Turkic soldiers on the city wall, he had already received the news that Cheng Yanjin would arrive with a large army in two days at the latest, although the Turks were about to come to the city, but as long as they held on for two days, then Jingzhou City could be completely defended.
Although Li Chengqian thought very well, he didn't think that they could hold it for two days, or even one day.
Chengxin and the others nervously watched on the top of the mountain as the Turkic soldiers and horses had arrived at their previous camp, and their hearts had already jumped to their throats.
The second prince looked at the messy camp and the corpses scattered not far from the camp, the second prince only felt that his brain was about to explode, and he roared with anger: "Why? How so! β
The rest of the people looked at the bodies of their familiar brothers, and the slightly sour smell that permeated the air, and felt a little jealous, they didn't know how their brothers had died.
The second prince looked at Jingzhou City in the distance, there were still blood stains and burning carbon black on the city wall at the foot of the city, and he realized that these soldiers of his had attacked the city wall, but they suddenly died for some reason.
The second prince sent someone to carefully pull back a few corpses, only to find that these corpses were a little pierced by unknown spikes, and some of the bodies had corroded holes, and they were more like they were attacked by hidden weapons.
The second prince is a little unpredictable, he has seen such an attack method from me, and he doesn't know if there are similar means on the Tang side, if the 100,000 people he brought are wiped out again, then it will be impossible for the Turks to start a war within twenty years, and the idea of unifying these countries by himself will be ruined.
The ruthless second prince ordered: "The cavalry rushed with siege vehicles, and I will capture this city within two hours!" β
The soldiers were not afraid of death, and immediately launched the first round of charge towards Jingzhou City according to the plan, the horse's hooves and people's feet skipped through the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and the horse's hooves turned over the blood-red soil, and the sour smell that had disappeared was broken out again after the cultivation of these people, and the first wave of soldiers did not rush to the city gate, and they had no strength to fall.
The second prince was also frightened when he saw the charging soldiers suddenly fall, but the military advisor on the side saw that he was tired, and whispered over and said: "Second prince, the reason why I think our soldiers suddenly fainted is because of the sour smell in the soil, if we can find a way to cover these sour smells, we should be able to attack the city!" β
The second prince nodded, and also felt that what he said made sense, the air had always been filled with a faint sour smell, and the soldiers who charged just now also said that when passing by the corpses of these soldiers, they asked about the pungent sour smell, and now I think that it should be because of the sour smell that caused them to fall unconscious.
The second prince hurriedly asked, "Is there any way to get rid of these sour smells!" β
The military advisor touched his beard for a long time before he said: "The old man thinks that it is better to burn it, although we don't bring much oil, but we pour a little bit of it everywhere, and the skill burns off the sourness, and it can also burn these soldiers, so that they will not be exposed to the wilderness!" β
The second prince immediately agreed with him, and ordered a few people to take the only three barrels of oil, let them sprinkle it in the purgatory in front of them, and burn all the corpses.
He couldn't think of any way to survive these two days now, if they really let them capture Jingzhou City like this, then everyone's lives would probably end here.
The fire burned on the entire battlefield in an instant, but Li Chengqian on the city wall smiled, pointed to the sea of fire in front of him and said: "This fire can't be burned for half a day, if you keep it like this for the next day, it will be a good thing, we just need to hold on for another day, and General Cheng will come over with his soldiers!" β
Tang Xin on the side also felt that defending the city at this time was no longer something that could not be completed.
There was a rare ease on the top of the mountain, and he asked Ashina Muyun Dao: "Is there any way to make the Turks retreat, and take your life to fool them?" β
Although Ashina Muyun was in the mountains and forests, he also guessed that it was the Turkic army coming, and looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you think they are the same as our vanguard troops?" In order to come over the mountain quickly, we are wearing leather armor, and the heaviest thing on our bodies is the knife in our hands, they came on horseback, and maybe they have the support of Gao Changguo, how can you let you go away in a few words! β
Xiangxin only felt that it was a little tricky, and there were a few more dark clouds in the sky at this time, and Xiangxin felt the gusts of breeze, as well as the faint smell of smoke, and Chengxin turned his head to look at Cheng Chumo, and said with a resolute face: "This person should be useless, should we kill him or just leave him here?" β
Cheng Chumo looked at the face of Chengxin, wanting to know his true thoughts, but Chengxin was expressionless at this time, Cheng Chumo had to say: "Keep this person, let's do our business, whether he is dead or alive depends on creation!" β
Satisfied, he nodded, and as he spoke, he took everyone down the mountain together, and the destination was the direction of Jingzhou City.
The second prince stared at the sea of fire in front of him, and suddenly saw the gate of Jingzhou City open, and then a bunch of people covering their mouths and noses ran out of the woods on the side and ran in, and pointed out to everyone with some surprise, "Look what these people are doing!" They didn't come out and did something! β
The military advisor on the side was also uncertain, so he walked up to the second prince and said, "Otherwise, send a few people to the forest over there to take a look, and if there are any organs, it's better to plan first!" β
The second prince nodded, beckoned to the soldiers on the side, and said, "You guys go to the mountains and forests to have a look, and if you encounter danger, send a signal as soon as possible!" β
The soldiers were ordered to go to the woods, but they never replied to the message, but instead brought back a person who made the second prince hate the itchy teeth, it was Ashina Muyun who was tied to the tree.
