The night is bright and the stars are scarce,

Wei Xiaojie sat in front of the bonfire and ate horse meat, and his heart was happy.

The on-the-spot command performance of the deputy general Zheng Jun made him very satisfied, and he could defeat the Hu people's troops in a single pillar of incense, and his ability was indeed good. In time, it will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting the Turks.

Just as Wei Xiaojie was stupidly preparing to launch an onslaught, the scout rushed to report the latest news.

"The chief manager of Qiyu, Zhao Deyan sent the Xue Yantuo tribe Yi Nan to lead five thousand elites to come out to block the attack. General Zheng succeeded in retreating to the valley to cover the scattered refugees, losing 300 brothers. ”

"Hiss~!"

Wei Xiaojie gasped.

This young man is not boastful! This good news had just been written, and in the blink of an eye, three hundred brothers had been lost.

This elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin's baby bump! If you die, there will be one less, Zheng Jun's goods are good, for the sake of dozens of people who do not obey the arrangement, he forgets that there are still more than 100,000 people behind him who need to be resettled.

This short-sighted, woman-like style still can't make the climate!

"Where is the marching Sima? One hundred and twenty brothers were dispatched to quickly support Adjutant General Zheng Jun. After meeting Zheng Jun, he reprimanded Lao Tzu fiercely, even if the sky fell, he had to guard the Hengshan Valley for Lao Tzu, which was related to the future direction of the war in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Marching Sima Cao Jie walked up to Wei Xiaojie and asked in a low voice:

"Chief, there are still a lot of strong people in this batch of refugees, do you want to recruit some people to supplement the logistics force? I'm worried about continuous high-intensity marching battles, brothers can't stand it! ”

Wei Xiaojie rubbed his temples, sighed and replied:

"Let the brethren have two days at most! We don't have extra food for the time being, we can't afford to recruit soldiers, and besides, there are a lot of Turkic spies mixed in this group of refugees, so let's talk about this after I take down Danzhou City tonight! ”

"No~!"

Everything that should be said has been said, and the specific decision still depends on Wei Xiaojie. Cao Jie followed Wei Xiaojie as a marching horse, which seemed to have no effect. So with a wave of his hand, he rushed to the valley with one hundred and twenty horsemen to support the deputy general Zheng Jun.

On the other side,

After the victory of the first battle, the Yi Nan of the Xue Yantuo tribe became even more arrogant.

He arrogantly set up a temporary camp on the outskirts of the valley, and did not carry out other fortifications, so he nakedly exposed the big tent of the Chinese army in front of Zheng Jun.

After some fighting, Yi Nan already knew the approximate number of the Tang cavalry in front of him, and there were no two thousand elite cavalry as Zhao Deyan said.

He didn't want to tell Zhao Deyan of the rear army useful information, he had an intuition that some of the disappeared people were arranged by Zhao Deyan, and the materials in Danzhou City had already been emptied by Jieli Khan.

Jieli Khan's tribe lacked food and grass supplies, and Princess Yicheng's remnants of the Great Sui lacked city territory, so it is estimated that they have reached some ulterior secrets.

So even if the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was a suspicious tactic with the purpose of sneaking up on Danzhou City, he was not afraid.

Yi Nan's ambition is not ordinary, he doesn't care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool. Besides, these cities are like hot potatoes, and when Datang eases up in the future, he will not be able to defend it.

Instead of wasting troops in vain to fight with the Datang Iron Cavalry, it is better to turn the target to this group of hundreds of thousands of unarmed refugees.

So in the face of Zheng Jun's iron-clad fortifications, Yi Nan ignored them, moved to the tent on the right and fell asleep, and put the Chinese army's big tent to disgust Zheng Jun.

Yi Nan's meaning is obvious, you Tang Iron Cavalry can escape if you want to, I won't stop you, just leave the people behind. If you don't escape, you can come to rob the camp, and I won't defend myself. Now, the big tent of the Chinese army is right in front of you.

Yi Nan's series of commotion operations disgusted the military Sima Cao Jie who came to support.

But fortunately, Cai Liuxin, the old man, did not lie, and in a relatively hidden cave in the middle of the valley, more than a dozen clansmen guarded the entrance of the cave, which contained tens of thousands of stones of grain from the city lord of Danzhou City.

Compared with the calm waves of Hengshan Valley, Danzhou City is much more lively now.

The deputy general Zhu Xu united with Sun Qun, the lord of Danzhou City, and led more than 1,000 warriors who were temporarily put together, from the darkness in the forest to the bottom of the city, and launched a fierce attack on Danzhou City that night.

The Turkic defenders in the city of Danzhou were also in chaos, originally thought that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was not good at attacking the city, but when they learned that the city of Danzhou was lost, the entire Danzhou was occupied by the Turks, and they would definitely abandon the people and flee to Youzhou.

Unexpectedly, they played a sneak attack.

The guards on the city walls were sparsely guarded, and a few Turkic veterans were still lying on the battlements and napping, so they were not afraid of accidentally falling.

"Kill~!"

Zhu Xu roared angrily, igniting the soldiers and civilians of Danzhou, who had been suppressed for a long time.

"Kill~! Expel the Turks and defend your homeland! ”

"Kill~! Slaughtered these animals that ruined our homes! ”

The simple ladder made in half a day has become the spiritual sustenance in the hearts of more than a thousand warriors.

Fortunately, Zhu Xu's strength was not low, and he took the lead, leading dozens of elite cavalry to climb the city wall, and soon killed the Turks by surprise and cleared a road to the city wall.

A fierce battle began, in the moonlight, on the road to the city gates, the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, corpses one step at a time, stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the Turks guarding the walls were even more tenacious than they imagined!

"Brothers, rush! Hurry up, quickly occupy the city walls, open the gates and amplify the cavalry of the chief to enter the city! ”

Zhu Xu kept roaring, and after a while, the big knife in his hand didn't know how many heads had been harvested, and cracks appeared! But seeing the Turkic people constantly emerging from the barracks, Zhu Xu knew that time was running out!

The space of the city wall was too small, and although the well-equipped cavalry took the lead, it was unable to rush through the dense spear formations of the Turks.

"General Zhu, you quickly let the brothers stand aside, and we will break the spear formation, and you can rest and seize the city gate. The brothers of Danzhou City listen to the order! The shield is up, and the crossbow arrows are fired! The big shield advances quickly, and the longbowmen shoot! ”

I don't know when, the chief bookkeeper Sun Qun has also climbed the city wall. After seeing that Zhu Xu was blocked by the Turkic spear array, he began to take over the command and issued a series of orders.

If it is said that leading the cavalry to fight and the elite of the soldiers' weapons, then Zhu Xu can be said to be the best. But when it comes to attacking cities and uprooting villages, Zhu Xu is not as good as Sun Qun, the master who has been dealing with the Turks all year round.

The Turkic generals guarding the city wall were still complacent a second ago, thinking that with a group of spearmen advancing steadily, they could easily handle the most elite cavalry Modao team in the Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, he was caught off guard by Sun Qun in a blink of an eye, and there were countless casualties. In the panic, the general on the city wall did not hesitate to say anything, and shouted to the brother who was in charge of guarding the city gate:

"Brothers at the gate of the city, pay attention, the Tang army on the city wall is numerous, not only two thousand elite horsemen, there should be support from other roads, be careful of their crossbow arrows."
