Wine Luminous Glass,

If you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately.

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled,

In ancient times, a few people came back to fight.

The Council of Elders of the Shenhua Family and the Seventy-two Chiefs held a grand banquet at the Castle Guard Mansion in Metasequoia City to celebrate the successful completion of the succession ceremony of Prince Kuriban. Roasted whole sheep, roast beef, stewed humps, stewed wild geese, all kinds of delicacies are placed on the long table like flowing water, and the most mellow wines in Western Xinjiang are piled up as high as a hill. The Shenhua family warmly invited the governors of Metasequoia City to attend the feast to express their sincere gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.

However, Li Jiangyao couldn't care about the wine and food in front of him. At this time, he was leading the generals of Metasequoia to a place ten miles away from the city, approaching the camp of the alliance army of Loulan State and Chechi State to investigate the enemy's situation.

A few days ago, the Marquis of Durham, the deputy marshal of the Turks, was accidentally robbed and killed by the army led by the lord of Nanhua County, Horia, on the way to the Chechi royal court, and the five hundred elite golden armor guards were wiped out.

In the face of Alikjan and Gerhan, who could not even be suppressed by Prince Goone's appearance and were still arguing with themselves, the Marquis of Durham did not say half a nonsense, and rushed forward with a whip, beating the two kings again and again.

"Two useless bunnies!" The Marquis of Durham scolded while whipping: "Lao Tzu was almost killed on your territory, and you still have the face to quarrel here!" Fuck it, give it back to my son! Give back my son-in-law! ”

Prince Gunne was shocked, and hurriedly called out to Duolun to pull Durham who fell into a rampage: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, please stop being angry, please stop being angry...... If you smoke again, you're going to die! ”

Don't look at the two guys, Alikjan and Gelhan, in front of the gentle and tolerant Prince Gune, they are all arrogant and do not give in to each other. But once they were replaced by the hot-tempered deputy marshal of the Turkic army, the famous "butcher" Marquis of Durham, they immediately became obedient, almost like two cute little sheep.

As the king of a big country in the western frontier, he was whipped for no reason, even if he was beaten with blood on his face, the two did not dare to say anything. And the personal guards of the two kings were even more silent, standing and watching from a distance, but they did not dare to step forward to protect and stop them.

After Prince Gune had a good word to appease Durham, and then asked Doren about the situation, he exclaimed in surprise: "How can there be such a thing? The remnants of the Holy Tang Army in Metasequoia City dare to be so bold?! ”

Alekjiang glared at Gelhan next to him, endured the burning pain on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Hou, if you want to blame this matter, you can blame Gelhan for everything!" I have urged him repeatedly before, so that Che Chi Guo can send troops as soon as possible to exterminate the bandits in Metasequoia City, and even the Prince of the Temple, his old man, has issued a special order to ask the Western Frontier Alliance and Che Chi Guo to pay attention to this matter. But Geerhan has always been disobedient, that is, he is unwilling to act, which is clearly conniving at the remnants of the bandits, and has evil intentions! So far, even the Hou Ye has been affected, and his crime should be punished! ”

"You fart!" It was a matter of life, Gelhan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said angrily: "Alikjiang, you are the culprit of the fornication and bandits!" His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Hou Ye, General Duolun, and the Third Army under my command were originally planned to be used to attack Metasequoia City, but they never expected that just as the army was about to set off, it was suddenly attacked by the Loulan army, resulting in heavy casualties, and for a while, they were unable to crusade against Metasequoia! It can be seen from this that you are the spy within the alliance who secretly colludes with Saint Tang! ”

Hearing this, Alekjiang's eyes widened with anger, and he couldn't help but shout: "Blood spews people!" It was you who first sent people to attack my garrison in Sedang City, and also attacked and killed the Turkic allies, with the intention of rebelling at all! ”

"Shut up, both of you!"

Gerham was about to sneer at him, but Durham took the lead and kicked him out of the way, then roared, "You two bastards, shut up!" Listen to me now, immediately gather all the soldiers and horses under your command, and follow me to set foot on Metasequoia City! ”

The Turkic deputy marshal was really angry and sent a message, and Alikjiang, the king of Loulan and the leader of the Western Xinjiang Alliance, took the lead in expressing his position, resolutely obeying the orders of the Marquis of Durham and stepping on the metasequoia. Seeing this, Gelhan didn't dare to lag behind, and even said that Metasequoia City was in the territory of his Chechi country, and it was his duty to exterminate the remnants of the Holy Tang.

Thus, under the pressure of the Turks, the two armies of the two armies, who were on the verge of a great war at any time, finally put away their fangs and turned back from incompatible opponents to allies in the trenches.

Chen Bing's 50,000 Loulan army on the border of Chechi quickly set off, directly passing through the cities and villages of Chechi and heading towards Metasequoia City. The First and Second Legions under the command of Gerhan, with a total of 30,000 main forces, were originally in the border area to guard against the invasion of the Loulan army on the opposite side, but at this moment they also turned around, almost on a par with the Loulan people, and went to Metasequoia together.

Before entering the warning range of Metasequoia, the two armies finally fully converged, and pressed towards Metasequoia City in accordance with the battle sequence set by the Marquis of Durham himself.

-

Xu Youchang stood on a high hill, pointed to the coalition camp in the distance, and said to Li Jiangyao: "My lord, please look over there, although the Loulan army and the Cheshi army came here together. However, they camped in two places, and the distance between the camps was not only a little farther away, but also heavily guarded in the direction of friendly forces. It seems that there is still a grudge between them. ”

"If it's not a formal occasion in the future, don't call me an adult anymore," Li Jiangyao said to Xu Youchang with a smile: "You guy, aren't you tired of being so serious all day long?" ”

Xu Youchang also smiled: "The army, it should still pay attention to dignity and order, which is also conducive to command." Jiang Yao, I just told you that you were serious, don't interrupt, okay. ”

Li Jiangyao showed an expression of "listen to you", took over Xu Youchang's previous topic, and said with a slight bow: "Your analysis is not wrong at all. This Loulan people, and Che Chi people definitely can't pee in a pot. The Marquis of Durham, who was almost killed by the county lord last time, although he could rely on the power of the Turks to force Alekjiang and Gelhan to join forces to attack our Metasequoia City, it was absolutely impossible for Durham to completely bridge the contradictions and suspicions between the two countries in a short period of time. We have to take advantage of this. ”

Lin Feng, who was standing behind, asked at this time: "My lord, the enemy army has an absolute advantage, but why don't they directly approach the city, but choose to camp so far away from the city?" ”

"Then you have to ask Duolun and Gerhan," Xu Youchang said with a rare joke, "It seems that they were really hurt by our Lord Li last time, so they still have palpitations until now." ”

Hearing this, all the generals couldn't help laughing. Previously, the Turkic Iron Pigeon Army united with the Gelhan horse bandits to attack Metasequoia with ten times the force, but in the end they only ended up with a tragic end, which had already spread throughout the ghost desert of Western Xinjiang.

The white-robed army is famous everywhere, and whoever comes must be careful.

Li Jiangyao waved his hand and motioned everyone to be quiet, after all, this place is not far from the enemy army, and if the other party's sentry is alarmed, it will not be good. Then, he asked earnestly: "The enemy has come here today, and he has rested all night, and tomorrow when he has had enough to eat and drink, he will probably start a formal attack." Tell me, how do we deal with it? ”

Lin Feng replied without hesitation: "My lord, our fortifications have been improved and strengthened for several months, and they are already very complete as before. The stock of crossbow arrows alone was enough to cope with several large-scale battles. Therefore, he believes that we should rely on the geographical conditions of defending the city, wait for work, and make use of the city fortifications as much as possible to consume the enemy's vital strength. ”

The total strength of the Loulan Chechi coalition army is nearly four times that of the Metasequoia garrison, and there is a considerable number of cavalry among them, and its momentum should not be underestimated. Therefore, most of the officers, including the fierce general Du Jian, agreed with Lin Feng's idea.

Li Jiangyao nodded slightly, and turned to look at Xu Youchang, who was silent: "Brother, what is your opinion?" Fighting according to the city, waiting for work? ”

"Hmm...... Xiao Lin has a point, but ......" Xu Youchang said while thinking: "It seems a little too passive to respond to the battle like this. If the enemy army does not launch a fierce attack on Metasequoia City, but adopts the strategy of encircling but not fighting, then we will immediately become a trapped and isolated city. ”

Li Jiangyao patted Xu Youchang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The hero sees the same thing. You're right, as long as the enemy surrounds us and doesn't fight, we're going to have a headache. Moreover, the leaders of the Shenhua family are still in the city at this time, if they are really trapped in Metasequoia City, there is no way to survive inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, it will be a big trouble. ”

Xu Youchang understood Li Jiangyao's intentions, and couldn't help but frown, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yao, with our current combat strength, do you really have the confidence to compete with so many enemy troops in the plains and wilderness?" ”

Li Jiangyao squinted his eyes and stared at the enemy camp in the distance, and after waiting for a moment, he turned to Xu Youchang and said, "I need you to do your best to cooperate with me, and this time you will make a big bet with them." What do you think? Do you dare? ”

"What's not to dare to do here?" Xu Youchang smiled confidently: "It is the duty of my generation to kill the enemy and quell the rebellion for Shengtang!" ”

Lin Feng, Du Jian and the others were shocked by Xu Youchang's words, their eyes flashed with excitement, and they all lowered their voices in unison, and responded neatly: "Killing the enemy and quelling the rebellion is my duty!" ”

Li Jiangyao laughed: "Okay, it's okay to have your words!" Let's go back to the city and talk in detail! ”
