Li Yong's black army was unscrupulous and wreaked havoc everywhere on the Turkic steppe, although Jieli Khan couldn't catch Li Yong, but the non-migratory tribes that were incorporated all the way down, as the cold winter became colder and colder, Li Yong could only stop continuing to sweep the Turkic tribes, and took the black army to hide in the grassland to start the cat winter, the battlefield in the north was carrying out the scene of killing others and being killed every day, Li Jing who was stationed in Xiangcheng and Xu Shiji who was stationed in Yunzhong City on the eastern front were attacked by Jieli's army every day, but they were all small-scale tentative attacks, The casualties on both sides were not very large, and with the arrival of winter, the temperature on the grassland was even colder, and the two sides were completely silent, but everyone knew that after the cold passed, a major war could not be avoided. Jieli's pressure has increased dramatically, this year's winter is colder than the year before, plus the Tang army has attacked the whole country, the famous military god Li Jing has occupied Zhanxiangcheng, his main force must have been all in place, and the plague general black army made him crazy, originally his own food and grass is not much, it is good to search for the army of the black army, and get him back a large number of lost and migratory tribes, the population is increasing, but there are also more mouths for food, under the advice of the confidant general Kang Su Mikang, Jieli withdrew the tooth tent to the moraine.

"Khan, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, and all tribes have frozen to death a lot of cattle and sheep, the Tang army will attack soon."

"Khan, in terms of our superiority in strength on the steppe, the Tang Army does not have many cavalry, and we are all cavalry, so I have a strategy for your reference, Khan."

When Jieli heard this, he hurriedly looked at the person who gave him advice, that person was six feet tall, with sharp edges and corners on his face, and a short beard on his chin, this person was Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Emperor Xiao of the Sui Yang Emperor, who had been in exile in the Turks since he was a child, and was gifted and intelligent, but under the influence of his mother, he only knew how to return to the country all day long.

"Quickly."

"Khan, please see, now that Li Jing occupies Zhanxiang City in the west, he will definitely send troops to attack the Tooth Tent when the spring is warm, and the Eastern Front will not dare to act rashly without Li Jing surrounding our Tooth Tent, and we can only strictly defend it, and our cavalry is flexible and familiar with the grassland, we send a large army to ambush near Zhanxiang City, and Zhanxiang City will be empty at that time, as long as we fight and retake Zhanxiang City, Li Jing's army will be attacked by us on both sides, if he does not retreat to the east, on the flat grassland, How could the infantry of the Tang army be able to defeat our cavalry, as long as Li Jing retreated to the east and pursued all the way in one place, the Tang army would definitely be defeated. ”

Jieli and his generals felt feasible when they heard it, so they sent Qibi He Li to lead 30,000 cavalry to Zhanxiang City 300 miles away to ambush and monitor Li Jing's army, Qibi He Li is a famous Turkic general, and he is not very optimistic about Yang Zhengdao's strategy, because Li Jing is the military god of the Tang army, and those generals under him are all famous generals and fierce generals, but Jieli's Khan ordered him to disobey, only to set off with the most powerful 30,000 cavalry of his tribe, the cold weather is painful for the Tang army occupying Xiangcheng, but here Li Yong is laughter, Cold? It doesn't exist, why? Because we have a woolen sweater and down jacket, and then the cotton seeds have not been found, but the Turkic worthless wool has been purchased by him early, and then woven into wool yarn into him and his woolen sweater, of course, the down jacket is not the modern windproof and waterproof, in fact, it is to fill the clothes with cowhide and goose down into the appearance of cowhide, plus the Xishan armor is pressed outside, the black army does not feel cold at all, of course, there is no way to face cold.

"Liu Renliang, you meow, the pillar pressed him for Lao Tzu."

Outside Li Yong's tent, Xue Rengui was about to go in, when he suddenly saw a figure flash out from inside, and then another figure chased behind, and the person running in front of him was still running while provoking the people chasing him.

"Boss, as for it, why don't you just eat your dry vegetables, Li Tiezhu, I beep your ancestor,, you dare to shoot me with a crossbow."

At this moment, many black soldiers walked out of the tent to take a look, and then they were not interested in returning to the tent, such a thing has happened almost every day for more than half a month, that is, Liu Renliang, the second cargo commander of the heavy cavalry regiment, stole the dried vegetables of the commander Li Yong, and then there was no Li Yong's guards to chase and kill the whole camp, Xue Rengui didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them after seeing the people who ran clearly, shouted a report outside the tent, and walked in after getting Li Yong's permission, looking at the warm tent, Li Yong sat in the copper pot and fished for something.

"Where's my dried vegetables? I think there should be a little bit of it. ”

It is a dream to be able to eat fresh vegetables on the grassland, and it is good to have dried vegetables to eat, Xue Rengui approached and heard Li Yong muttering to the pot.

"Commander, what are you fishing? If I don't have enough meat, I'll let the logistics get you some more? ”

"Don't, eat meat every day, eat meat every day, look at me, how many bubbles have grown in this mouth, there are so many dried vegetables left, Liu Renliang's bastard is like a cat every day, he steals as soon as I put the vegetables dry, right, what are you looking for me?"

"That's right, won't it be the New Year in two days, do you want to do some activities?"

"New Year's? It's really fast, I've been coming to the grassland for more than a month, I don't know how the situation is at home, by the way, what activities have you arranged here? ”

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"In this way, the whole army makes dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the stuffing soldiers inside arrange it by themselves, and then the battalions exchange food, have a big party, hee hee~"

Xue Rengui looked at Li Yong with a wicked smile on his face and knew that this big party must be holding back something bad, and when he thought of the camps exchanging dumplings for each other, he immediately knew what Li Yong meant, and he also "gi......ggled" with Li Yong. After the activities and contents of the Chinese New Year's Eve dumpling party were issued by the whole army, the battalion commander of each battalion began to hold back, and commanded his soldiers to begin to secretly collect various materials, and some soldiers drew inferences from one to the other to make worse suggestions, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the soldiers and officers of each battalion exchanged dumplings with smiles hidden in their smiles and favorite parties, and ate dumplings with secret recipes in common witness.

"Gash ~ I beep, beep, it's inside, vomit ~"

"Oops, my teeth, that bastard put stones in it, fuck me, and the dock is broken, bah~bah~"

"Benevolent track, small track, come, it's time to drink medicine, phew, it's time to eat dumplings~"

Liu Renliang was trapped on the ground by five flowers, held down by several burly guards, Li Yong squatted in front of him with a plate of dumplings made by himself, Liu Renliang struggled desperately, but his strength was not as strong as a few big men.

"You, you don't want to pass."

"Good, don't struggle, the more you struggle, the more excited I become, open your mouth, this is the fairy dumplings I made for you all day, eat it, I promise to let you ascend to heaven, no, it's a fairy who wants to die, it's not right, anyway, open your mouth, don't force me to be rough."

"I don't, your dumplings are poisonous, you have poisoned me a long time ago, I don't know you yet, the most poisonous woman's heart, it's you."

"Yo, little ones, pry open the mouth of our head Liu."

"Woo~~Woo~~"

Liu Renliang was pinched by the strong man, opening his mouth, Li Yong immediately stuffed the dumplings into his mouth one by one, and he couldn't stuff it anymore after five of them, so he stopped, and then asked the guards to close his mouth to prevent him from spitting it out, and as the juice of the dumplings immediately flowed out, Liu Renliang's eyes changed.

"Hey, it's so fragrant, boss, two more."

Li Yong's people let Liu Renliang go, and the dumplings in his hand were snatched by him at once, and they were eaten unceremoniously.

"Incense, huh? Look, it scares you. ”

"I knew that the boss was the best, it was delicious, by the way, boss, what kind of stuffing is this made, it is very smooth and warm, I have never eaten it so delicious."

After watching Liu Renliang finish eating a plate, he picked up another plate on the table and began to eat it, Li Yong said to him seriously.

"You really want to know?"

"Uh-huh."

"Well, if you want to know so much, I'll tell you, it's actually nothing special, just a bullwhip or a sheep whip."

Liu Renliang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then rushed out of the tent and squatted in the place and began to vomit.

"Vomit~ Li Yong, I knew you were uneasy and kind, vomit~ I was dirty~ vomit~"

"Hahaha~~ Let you steal my dried vegetables and make up for you."

This kind of laughter and laughter permeated the entire black army camp, temporarily making them forget the lovesickness of their relatives behind them, but the days of the Turkic battlefield were shrouded in the clouds of war every day, Li Jing let Su Dingfang and 10,000 troops stay in the base camp to occupy Xiangcheng, he personally led 50,000 troops to march into the moraine, the spring of the grassland came a little late, and the war that was originally pressed the pause button continued, for the Qibi He Li who was ambushed three hundred miles away, Li Jing did not notice, things were like Yang Zhengdao's strategy, and after Li Jing stayed away, The cavalry of Qibi He Li swarmed up, and they were still jumping back and forth on the eastern and western fronts, and Li Yong, who was dying back and forth, did not know that the war was about to start.

"Report, the Turkic cavalry is less than a hundred miles away from us."

"How many enemies are there?"

"Not yet identified."

"Revisit."

"This Turk is really cunning, the big marshal has been gone for less than five days, they pounced, it must be premeditated, let's report to the big marshal quickly."

"This cavalry must be ambushed nearby, that is, when the marshal leads the army to leave, the city of Xiangcheng cannot be lost, if it is lost, the marshal's back road will be cut off, and he can only retreat to the clouds on the eastern front, if the Turks merge and pursue, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

"It's so damned, these damned Turks."

"Herald, report the situation to the marshal quickly, and the others will follow me to strengthen the city defenses, and be sure to wait for the marshal's reinforcements."

Adjutant General Su Dingfang has been by Li Jing's side for many years, learned a lot of military techniques and combat experience, and commanded the defenders in the face of danger to see that it was to strengthen the city defense and prepare to meet the Turkic army, and the next morning, the defenders on the city wall saw the Turkic cavalry rushing from the west.

"Turkic, Turkic cavalry is coming."

All of a sudden, the whole Zhanxiang city was like water dripping into the oil pot, team after team of soldiers ran up the city wall, eight oxen crossbows, stones, and cauldrons filled with gold juice were placed on the city wall, the other side had no siege weapons is the best news that the defenders knew, the bad news was that the other party had more than 30,000 cavalry, everyone looked nervously at the Turkic cavalry under the city, Qi Bi He Li also looked at the well-defended Tang army, he is also a famous general, knows the advantages and knows his disadvantages, the Tang army is good at defending, but Zhanxiang City is a dirt city, Unlike those cities with tall walls, Chebi Holi still had confidence in his elite cavalry.

"Urami, you lead three thousand troops to try the Tang army."

"Don't worry, chief, wait for me to capture Zhanxiang City, unscrew the head of the Tang Army and use it as a wine pot for you to drink."

"Don't be careless, if you are defeated, retreat quickly."

"Kids, follow Ben General."

The three thousand Turkic cavalry began to run slowly and began to attack the city of Zhanxiang, Su Dingfang looked at the three thousand cavalry rushing over, and immediately understood the intention of the enemy's main general, that is, to test their hypocrisy.

"Archers prepare."

Su Dingfang looked at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly waved the flag in his hand.

"Put!"

"Bang~Bang~"

After the sound of the bowstring being released, countless sharp arrows were thrown at the running Turkic cavalry, and the knights who were hit by the arrows fell off their horses one by one, and the horses were shot because of the severe pain and fell down with the knights, and the three thousand knights were repulsed before they could get close to the city wall. And when Qi Bi He Li attacked Xiangcheng, Li Yong was completing another tribal love and was about to find the next target, when a ghost brought him bad news.

"Commander, two days ago, I found a cavalry of about 30,000 people moving south from the northwest."

"Northwest to south, it's not good, they want to attack Zhanxiangcheng, where is Li Jing now?"

"Li Jing led an army of 50,000 to march to the east seven days ago, and he should be preparing to attack the moraine."

"Mokou, there should be Jieli's tooth tent, Li Jing's west road has 60,000, then say, the current Zhanxiang City is about 10,000 people, if it is captured, then Li Jing's back road will be broken, and then it will be troublesome, how long will it take for us to get to Zhanxiang City at the earliest?"

"It will take about two days."

"The ghost stayed behind to protect the logistics support troops, and the others followed me to support Zhanxiangcheng."

Li Yong led the black army to kill Zhanxiang City, the city that caused them casualties for the first time, and Zhanxiang City was attacking wave after wave of Qibi He Li, and his cavalry casualties were not very large, but the defensive materials prepared by Su Dingfang were constantly decreasing, and the archery opportunities had all been scrapped, and it was wasted with eight bull crossbows, because Qi Qi He Li only used thousands of troops to attack each time, and the powerful Eight Bull Crossbow went down with a crossbow, which could hit people, but the effect was not good. Li Jing was also anxious when he received the news, and immediately asked Wei Chi Jingde to bring 10,000 soldiers back to help occupy Xiangcheng.

"General, we've run out of arrows, and we can't use the Eight Bull Crossbow."

Su Dingfang knew that his side had reached the most critical moment, and he had already attacked the city many times when he entered the Turkic siege, but fortunately he was driven down with his own soldiers, and there was no news from Li Jing's side, even if he received the news, it was unknown whether he could send troops to rush back in time, looking at the wounded soldiers all over the city, his heart was dripping blood, looking at the brightly lit camp and busy soldiers on the other side, they were preparing siege equipment to make the final blow to themselves and Zhanxiang City tomorrow. The soldiers in Zhanxiang City will not be gloomy and not attacked, the drums of the march broke the tranquility of the grassland in the morning, a huge siege vehicle approached the city gate under the cover of the Turkic soldiers, followed by rows of ladders to climb the clouds, the screams of the soldiers and the screams of the wounded opened the prelude to the siege, Qi He Li threw all his troops into it today, and the continuous siege for several days has made the other party lose the ability to defend remotely, and today is to let this earthen city that has prevented him for a long time break the city, The Turkic soldiers under the city were not afraid of life and death, like ants climbing the low city wall, and the Tang army on the wall waved weapons to drive the enemy who was about to climb up the wall.

"Report, the city walls have been lost, the city gates have been broken, and the enemy army has entered the city."

"Come on, follow Ben to kill the enemy~"

Su Dingfang pulled out the long sword at his waist, and led his soldiers to rush towards the Turkic army that broke through the city.

"I'm tired, I finally arrived, put on a mask, cut off the Turks in the middle, surrounded the Turkic army in the city, rush~"

Just when the two sides were fighting into a scorching situation, Li Yong's black army finally arrived at the battlefield in time, looking at the Turkic cavalry that continued to rush into the city, and decisively ordered to attack their middle section, more than 3,000 black troops roared down, and the two sides sitting in the battle were also attracted by this black wave.

"It's the black plague, defense against the onslaught."

"It's reinforcements, our reinforcements are coming, kill."

While commanding the defense of the army outside the city that has not yet entered, the morale was greatly boosted and began to counterattack, the horse lance and heavy cavalry of the black army slammed into the defending Turks, the defense line collapsed instantly, thousands of black troops took away a life with a shot or a knife like a slaughtering dog, seeing the fierce cavalry that suddenly came in, Qi Bi He Li had realized that he had failed this time, in order to avoid the casualties of his elite tribal warriors, he resolutely retreated, but he underestimated the terrifying combat power of the black army, and the Turkic cavalry that began to retreat was pursued by the black army, Some of them blocked the city gate to strangle the Turkic cavalry who withdrew, and the other part went crazy after chasing the ass of He Li, Su Dingfang looked at the black army at the city gate who were full of black armor and shook hands with horses, they were expressionless one by one, it should be said that they could only see a pair of cold eyes in the mask, skillfully stabbing the Turks who withdrew from the city, the Tang army finally saw this mysterious black army with their own eyes, it was really like a devil from hell, they had no mercy for the enemy, even if they laid down their arms and surrendered, they did not let go, All the Tang troops stopped their pursuit, kept a distance from these demons, and thought in their hearts, will these people kill crazy, and kill them too, the Turkic army is very strong, but they can defeat it, but these black demons in front of them, they are psychologically afraid, Su Dingfang, as a deputy general, watched the black army continue to kill those soldiers who have already sneaked attack, and shouted at the black army.

"Bold, stop, they have surrendered, I order you to stop."

Those black soldiers looked at their comrades-in-arms around each other, looked at the Tang generals who gave orders to them like fools, and then continued to slaughter the remaining Turks.

"Stop, let your leader come out and speak to me."

The black army still ignored him, and they didn't mean to stop when they saw that the surrendered Turks were about to be killed.

"Attack formation, prepare to attack."

Su Dingfang ordered his Tang army to put up an attack formation to force the black army to stop, looking at the Tang army that had already set up the formation, a long horse lance was inserted directly into the head of a Turk, and the sharp tip of the spear was inserted into the soil to nail the stone.

"Resist, extinguish."

A few simple words made the Tang army who was ready to attack not dare to act rashly, Su Dingfang could only watch this group of madmen kill all the Turks and slaughter them, and after killing all the Turks, the black army that went to chase and kill also rushed back, and the black army blocking the city gate separated a road, Su Dingfang saw a war horse covered with spiked armor, with the same armor as the black army, but the knight with the mask of Erlang Zhenjun walked in front, Su Dingfang knew that this must be the leader of this black army.

"Who the hell are you and why are you doing this, they have already surrendered."

"Surrender?"

Li Yong said in a hoarse voice, then looked at the black army around him and then looked at the Tang army in front of him who was about to start fighting.

"You're Su Dingfang, right?"

"It is here, why don't you dare to see people with your true face? Are you all unsightly minions? ”

Su Dingfang was very angry, but in exchange for the other party's indifference.

"You look down on yourself too much, we can destroy Zhanxiang City once, we can destroy it again, you are glad that you are Han Chinese, and you are soldiers to protect the people behind you, so we will not move you, just tell you, those Turks have almost been killed by us, and there will be no longer a threat to your Zhanxiang City, and one more thing to tell you, we killed the Turks from the Evil Yang Ridge, and the Turks killed were not 80,000 but 70,000, I advise you not to joke with the lives of your soldiers, and withdraw."
