"As for helping Datang or helping Yanguo, what do you think?"

Jieli Khan patrolled many khans.

Meantime.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, it has to be the King of Chu!

A small king of Chu established the Yan State, so that there was no more internal strife within the Turks, and they all pointed the finger at him.

Arguably.

The king of Chu established the state, and in the face of powerful foreign enemies, the Turks were united like never before.

It's like today's assembly, or even the winter assembly, if there is no King of Chu, he can't shout the eighteen Khans of the grassland.

At most a dozen people!

Now.

The khans pondered deeply, some people prefer to help the king of Chu, after all, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is much stronger than that of the king of Chu in the new country.

And there are also people who prefer to help the Tang Dynasty, the Chu King Tu Tiele tribe, and spoil their holy mountain Wolf Juxu Mountain, which is unbearable!

You have to take good care of this arrogant King of Chu!

Each has its own reason.

Jieli Khan pondered for a moment, and then looked at Princess Yicheng: "Yicheng, what do you think?" ”

Princess Yicheng seemed to have expected to call herself, so she stood up and smiled: "Naturally, I am helping Datang!" ”

"Everyone, think about it, are we afraid of Li Shimin?"

Many khans pondered.

A few seconds later, Princess Yicheng said directly: "We are not afraid!" Li Shimin was beaten to the door of his house by us, although there was a trick, but this all shows that the real strength of my Turks is not weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty! Don't be afraid! ”

"And the King of Chu....he is different."

"He entered my Turkic steppe as a medium, I thought it was a sheep, but I didn't expect us to bring back a demon king."

"He is still weak, and he has made our Turkic steppe a mess, and after his Yan country grows stronger, can I still have a good life in the Turks?"

"And, the main thing! The army of the King of Chu, I believe everyone has fought, that is a group of madmen! The king of Chu's incitement ability is too strong, and he can directly brainwash Han people he doesn't know into his followers in a short period of time. ”

"His ability is the most terrifying! We can't let him grow, we should immediately take this opportunity and cooperate with Admiral Tiance to destroy the Yan Kingdom!! ”

One voice, one sentence after another, all spoke to the hearts of many khans.

Tiele Khan, who was slaughtered by the King of Chu, had a fierce hatred, so he took the lead in echoing: "Yes, that's right, we want to kill the King of Chu first!" He's our neighbor, this winter, can you sleep? ”

yes....yes!

Although their Turks, including the entire northern states, did not raise military affairs in winter, the king of Chu defeated Yanyun City in this winter.

His tactics are unpredictable!

There are such neighbors ....

Even more, it's scary!

"Yes, I agree! Compared to Li Shimin, I am more afraid of the King of Chu, we should take this opportunity to destroy the King of Chu and his Yan Kingdom with Li Shimin! ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Damn, rush him Yanguo!"

“…….”

There was no longer a khan who favored helping the king of Chu.

After Princess Yicheng's analysis, they were very jealous of King Chu in their hearts, and they didn't want to have such a leader around them even for a moment.

Jieli Khan looked around, and then smiled: "Haha, okay, it seems that the result has been obtained." ”

"Then, Ben Khan announced that he would lead 20,000 iron horsemen from Tuli and go south to fight Yan!"

"In addition, send someone to inform Liang Shidu and ask him to also send troops to cooperate with my Turkic army, he probably wants to take back Yanyun City a long time ago, and let people tell him that if he wants to take back Yanyun City, work hard! Don't drop the chain! ”

20,000 iron horsemen, seemingly rare.

But after the past winter, the first task of the major tribes was to plunder the grain, and 20,000 iron horsemen were freed up from it to go on the expedition.

And if there are too many troops, such as 50,000? Eighty thousand? So, who is going to gather food for this army?

After the winter, the major Turkic tribes did not have much surplus food, they did not produce, and the first task was to plunder the grain, and the second was to attack the Yan country.

20,000 iron cavalry, this is already the largest force that can be sent out at present.....

In the afternoon of the same day.

Tuli Khan led the major tribes to gather 20,000 iron horsemen for him and set out to conquer the Yan country.

Meantime.

The Liang division of the Tongwan City received the letter, and also sent 3,000 soldiers to cooperate with the Turkic operation, and personally took command, with a vow to take Yanyun City back.

.

….….…….….….

Following.

When Cheng Yanjin was still a day's journey away from the Lechuan Gorge, Li Kuan had already received the news of the Turkic invasion.

"Your Majesty, the Turks....this Turkic invasion has more than 20,000 troops, mostly cavalry! The commander is the Turki Khan and the Liang State Liang Shidu. ”

The scout who came to Yanyun Palace was out of breath, and finally made things clear.

"What!"

He Shen and the others present were all surprised.

The scouts in Yanyun City were all specially trained, and at a glance, they knew how many people there were.

But after all, there is a limit to this, if you can estimate 10,000 people, then it is already the sky.

Most of them have to be roughly estimated by the size of the army and the flags.

He Shen and the others came over to discuss with the King of Chu about the people in the inner city of Yanyun City, but they didn't expect to hear such news.

"Turks, they are also going to attack my Yan country?"

Li Shizhen was taken aback.

Datang is an elite army, and it is not easy to deal with Datang.

And the Turks also sent more than 20,000 troops, which is enough for the overall number of troops in the entire Yanyun City....

He Shen's heart sank, and the most feared thing still happened.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

He Shen asked.

If you want to say that he is good at making money, but war, he....eyes are dark....

"I expected this."

Li Kuan laughed, making people look confident: "Heshen, the affairs of the people in the inner city, I will talk to you later." ”

"Now, it's time to deal with the Turks."

"Go! Call Yang Duwei to me! ”

Li Kuan dismissed the crowd.

After everyone left, although his face was calm, his eyes were narrowed.

Far from a superficial calm.

Soon.

Yang Duwei, dressed in military uniform, rushed to Yanyun Palace.

"Your Highness, you are looking for me."

Yang Duwei gave up.

Li Kuan nodded and said seriously: "The Turks are also coming." ”

Yang Duwei was shocked: "Coming?" They....sure enough, they came! That's right, they won't let go of this opportunity! ”

Yang Duwei's face was full of gloom.

Li Kuan said: "Captain Yang, how is the layout of the limelight plateau?" ”

In addition to the Taihang Mountain, which can enter the territory of the Liang State from the Turkic grassland, there is also the main road, and on the main road, the Fengtou Plateau separates Yanyun City from the Liang countries and the Turkic grassland.

Whether the Liang State wants to attack Yanyun City or the Turks, it must pass through this road.

It's a key road.

So throughout the winter, Li Kuan asked Yang Duwei to arm the defense.

Yang Duwei arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the arrangements are in place, and it is not much better than the city defense of Yanyun City!" ”

More or less exaggerated.

But....also self-confidence!

Li Kuan nodded and said: "I, I plan to let you lead three thousand self-defense troops to go to the limelight plateau to block the Turks, with the intention of blocking the attack, but you can retreat while fighting, and hold outside the city for seven days until you retreat to Yanyun City." ”

Yang Duwei was horrified in his heart: "Your Majesty, I....I can't....I'm not capable enough...."

Once in Youzhou, he was just a captain, commanding a maximum of 800 people to fight.

He did not dare to take on such an important task.

"Captain Yang, you can."

"Your Majesty, I....I can't do it...."

He shook his head, and kept shaking his head.

Compared with the leading monsters of General White Tiger, Xin Qiji, and Chen Qingzhi, he was too mediocre, and he didn't dare to shoulder the orders of Yanyun City.

"Captain Yang, look at me."

Hearing this, Yang Duwei, who kept shaking his head and bowing his head, looked at Li Kuan.

I saw those pairs....calm eyes.

Li Kuan looked directly at him and said seriously: "Captain Yang, you can!" ”

"Many people have talents, but there are few of them in the world, not even their names, they have no way to serve them, they just lack an opportunity, once they have this opportunity, they can soar to the sky."

"And this opportunity, Yang Duwei, Yang Yong! I am willing to give it to you, and the thousands of people in Yanyun City will also give it to you, and your brothers in the Self-Defense Army who have led it for three months will also give it to you. ”

"Do you want to retreat?"

Yang Duwei's lips trembled: "I......can I?" ”

He still doesn't trust himself.

In the face of the Tang Dynasty, Xin Qiji and Chen Qingzhi came out together, but in the face of the Turks, he led the army alone.

The Tang Dynasty is about the same strength as the Turks, he....was once a captain, how can he defend the enemy army of a country alone....

Moreover, Chen Qingzhi and Xin Qiji led a total of 10,000 troops against the 10,000 army of the Tang Dynasty.

He was only 3,000, and he had to resist the Turkic army of more than 20,000 troops, although he had the geographical advantage, but....the gap in strength was still too great.

He can do what he can, what can he do, how can he be....

Li Kuan wanted to continue talking one moment, but the next moment he saw something, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Yang Duwei, you turn around." ”

"Turn around?"

Yang Duwei hurriedly turned around.

At this moment, he saw more than a dozen self-defense soldiers he had brought, and they were looking at him with burning eyes.

Originally.

When these dozen or so people heard the conversation, they came.......

They didn't speak, just looked at him with burning eyes.

Then.

One of the Self-Defense Army soldiers handed Yang Duwei's weapon to him: "Duwei, we, we can!" ”

Yang Duwei's heart trembled.

He looked at him, and then at the dozen or so SDF soldiers behind him.

They were so confident that they could and that he could lead them to stop the Turks.

Yang Duwei's eyes were moist, he took the weapon, and cried and laughed: "We, we can!" ”

Then.

Holding the spear in hand, he quickly turned around and grabbed the spear horizontally, and his voice was high.

"Your Majesty, Yang Yong, take the order!"

"I will lead 3,000 self-defense troops to stop the Turkic enemy for at least seven days! Protect the safety of the people in the inner city of Yanyun City! ”

Li Kuan smiled: "Then let's go." ”

"Remember, after seven days, you can judge the situation on the battlefield for yourself, and it is up to you to retreat or continue to defend!"

Yang Duwei's moist eyes were full of determination: "Command!" ”

In the afternoon of the same day.

Yang Duwei led 3,000 self-defense troops, left Yanyun City, and headed north to the Fengtou Plateau.

And since.

There are only 2,000 self-defense troops left in Yanyun City, as well as 3,000 reserve army guards.

It can be described as....emptiness.

On the walls of Yanyun City.

Li Kuan watched as Yang Duwei's army departed.

Not far away, Du Ruyan came up to put on a coat for Li Kuan: "Your Highness, can we....be alive?" ”

The Tang Dynasty and the Turks marched together, even if they were strong in Tibet, it was difficult to stop their edge.

There is a high probability that they will choose to return.

And they are in the country of Yan, there is only one country, there is no way to retreat, only ....one is prosperous, one is lost, and both are lost....

The Yan Kingdom is not calm inside, and there are more than 200,000 slaves who want to rebel at any time, so most of the battlefields are in dangerous places outside, and they really don't want to fight offensive and defensive battles in Yanyun City unless necessary.

Li Kuan didn't look back, but looked up at the sky and sighed: "Maybe." ”

Maybe, maybe....

Oh, yes!

This battle!

Even the king of Chu, who has always been arrogant, has never been sure.

….….….….….….

Cheng Biting Jin and Chai Shao, leading an army of 10,000, since arriving more than ten miles in front of the Lechuan Gorge, they set up a camp, not marching, and looked at the Lechuan Gorge from afar.

"This canyon is dangerous, it must be a place where soldiers must fight, and our army can only go to Yanyun City through this canyon, this is really....dilemma...."

Chai Shao sighed.

This place is too passive for them.

Since entering the border of the Yan Kingdom, they have not encountered any resistance on the way, and it can be guessed that they have put their military strength in the Lechuan Gorge or the city of Yanyun City.

Therefore, before they have explored the reality of the Lechuan Gorge, they will not rush into the army.

"Yes! Don't worry, wait a little longer, I have heard that when the Turks learned that we were marching into Yanyun City, they joined forces with Liang and mobilized a large army to attack Yanguo. ”

"Hahaha, we don't need to be in a hurry, it should be Yanguo in a hurry!"

Cheng Yanjin laughed.

Very heroic.

Chai Shao smiled: "This is also true. ”

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Yanguo.

"This Yan Country is really strange."

"If it was just a split from the Liang State, why did the Turks send a large army so much? Could it be, what's the mystery in it? For example, this Yan country is not as simple as we think? ”

Cheng Yanjin thought for a while and said, "Brother Chai, according to my old Cheng, it's just that you think too much. ”

"There are many reasons for this kind of thing, it is possible that the emperor of Yanguo robbed the old guy of Jieli's wife, or it may be that Liang Guo felt that the independence of Yanguo was humiliated, and took advantage of our attack on Yanguo, so he joined forces with the Turks to attack, or it is possible, hahaha, it is the old guy of Jieli who wants to take Queen Xiao, there are all kinds of things."

Cheng Biting Jin pays attention to hooligan tactics in war, and people are also hooligans, so when he talks about it, he is full of words that make women shy.

Chai Shao smiled: "I hope so, but we really don't have to worry too much." ”

"We don't know the truth of Yanguo, but the Turks and my Tang Dynasty both know the roots, this time they have sent elite troops, Yanguo should be unstoppable, I believe we will be able to reach the gate of Yanyun City soon."

"Speaking of which, this is still....we're indirectly cooperating with the Turks?"

"Cooperation? Hum! Cheng Biting Jin, who was still pleasant, his face turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "They are coming, but my Datang didn't cooperate with them!" ”

"Also, disdain to cooperate!!"

"The shame of the Weishui Alliance, sooner or later, it will be taken back completely!!"

Cheng Yanjin is still thinking about the Weishui Alliance.

It was a disgrace, and indeed a disgrace.

In his life, he had never been so ashamed as that time.

Chai Shao nodded: "Yes, General Cheng, I made a mistake." ”

"No matter what, we must win this battle! In the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty, the court, the family, and even the common people are all waiting to see us return triumphantly. ”

Cheng Biting Jin said: "Yes! Must win!! ”

The two of them looked in the direction of Yanyun City together, their eyes full of belief in victory.

Although anxious to achieve victory, war is the most taboo impatient.

They set up camp here with their army, waiting for the Turks to make their next move, and then making plans.

….….….….….….

Plateau in the limelight.

The Turkic Khan led an army of 20,000 Turks, and the 3,000 Liang city guards of Liang Shidu, who were not on guard at first, thinking that the Tang Dynasty had attacked, so how could the king of Chu dare to still deploy defenses outside?

Thereupon.

Dive straight in.

Then the vanguard was attacked, and they were caught off guard by various traps and arrows, leaving behind more than 500 corpses, and then withdrew from the limelight plateau, and then camped on the spot to discuss the next move.

"Damn! Which army of the King of Chu is stationed on the plateau in the limelight, and it won't be the White Tiger Battalion, right? ”

Tuli Khan was originally very angry, but when he mentioned the White Tiger Battalion, his eyes flashed with jealousy, which was the terrible and invincible that the White Tiger Battalion had carved into his bones over the years.

"It won't be the White Tiger Battalion, the White Tiger Battalion is not like this!"

Liang Shidu said seriously.

He had seen the White Tiger Battalion and had fought before, and knew that it was impossible for that unruly army to choose such a nesty defensive tactic.

When Tuli Khan heard this, his eyes looked much better, and then he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Then hit! Give Ben Khan the fastest speed and lay the limelight plateau, we must be one step faster than Datang and arrive at the foot of Yanyun City! ”

As the Turki Khan fell, the Turkic cavalry regrouped again and charged.

The fierce war was not the most important battlefield of the Tang Dynasty, but the side battlefield was the first to start.

Meanwhile.

Cheng Yanjin and Chai Shao also received information about the Turkic storming of the limelight plateau.

"How about it, Brother Chai, let's fight?"

Cheng Yanjin asked.

Chai Shao shook his head: "Don't worry, General Cheng, the scouts we sent to explore the Lechuan Gorge have been silent for a long time, and they can be sure that they have all been eaten by the Yanguo army." ”

"They have troops here, maybe the Turkic side is just feigning defense, and our side is the main force."

"And if it is the main force....although the elite of our army will definitely be far superior to the main force of Yanyun City, but....Lechuan Gorge is easy to enter and difficult to exit, if our army enters rashly, the battle damage will not be good-looking."

Cheng Yanjin thought about it, and felt reasonable, nodded and said: "That's right, then continue to see how the Turks are." ”

"But we can't lag behind the Turks, we must attack Yanyun City before the Turks!!"

Cheng Yanjin has a desire to win, he wants to compare with the Turks, even if it is not beneficial for Datang to capture Yanyun City, he must compare!

Whatever he wants, he is better than the Turks....

….….….….….….

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

On this side of the Lechuan Gorge, the wind is still calm.

However, the plateau in the limelight is bloody and rainy.

The Turki Khan looked at the limelight plateau full of arrows and corpses, and there was some jealousy in his eyes: "Which army of the king of Chu is this, why can a few thousand infantry block my Turkic 20,000 iron cavalry!" ”

In the past seven days, there have been more than 30 sieges, so the Tuli Khan also learned that the troops stationed here were unknown troops under the account of the king of Chu.

I thought I could break through quickly, but I didn't expect that it had been seven days and I hadn't broken through.

In the past seven days, his Turkic army has attacked fiercely every time, but he was stopped by the thousands of soldiers of the King of Chu.

It made him feel humiliated.

There were 20,000 Turkic cavalry, attacking far less than their own army, and they couldn't send it for so many days.

When you say this, your face will be lost.

When Tuli Khan thought of this, he couldn't help but look at the high place of the plateau.

This front, not the four battalions of the King of Chu, nor the white-robed army, in the end....Under the account of the King of Chu, where is the sacred....

….….….….….….

Plateau in the limelight.

The smoke of war filled everywhere, and there were stumps and severed arms everywhere.

Seven days have arrived, and according to the agreement with the king of Chu, they can retreat at any time.

At this time.

It was dinner time for the Self-Defense Forces.

Captain Yang was still eating, and a soldier of the Self-Defense Army who had lost his arm during the war arrived, looked at him, and said seriously: "Captain Du, I don't want to retreat!" ”

"I can still hold it!"

Yang Duwei's eating action was sluggish, and then he said angrily: "Don't make trouble, our task is complete, and we will leave after eating." ”

"We have lost too many brothers in the past seven days, it's time to go home, and take them home....."

Thinking of the battle in the past seven days, Yang Duwei felt that it was a nightmare.

Too many, too many people have died.

When he came, he was not determined to come, but the dozen or so brothers said that he could, and he kindled his faith.

Now, only three brothers remained, and the rest were buried deep here, and their bodies could not be found.

Seven days ago, on the way out, the soldier who brought her mutton, he saw death in front of his eyes three days ago....

And before leaving, a family told him to protect their son, and their son made an awkward statement that he didn't care about his father, but as a result, he couldn't make any more awkward trouble....

Too many, too many people died.

Their deaths are meaningful, and they are a seven-day mission given by His Majesty.

And if you continue to defend it now, it is pointless.

Because His Majesty did not say to continue to keep.

"I can still defend it!"

Just as Captain Yang was thinking about it, another Self-Defense Army soldier stood up with a determined gaze.

"Me too!"

"Me too!!"

“…….”

One after another, the living SDF soldiers stood up, their eyes all determined.

They all want to keep the enemy out of the Yan Country....

"You, you...."

Yang Duwei's eyes became moist: "It's okay to continue to defend it, but, you will die....many people will die..."

A soldier spoke: "Captain, the limelight plateau, after our winter transformation, our defensive ability is no worse than that of Yanyun City, including the walls of Yanyun City, and there is no difference between guarding here and guarding Yanyun City!" ”

"I'm going to guard here, keep them here, and don't worry the people in the inner city of Yanyun City."

Yang Duwei's voice choked: "However, it will die, and many people will die....maybe, in the city, Your Majesty, there will be a way...."

"Captain, I want to guard!"

Another soldier of the Self-Defense Army walked up to him, and his voice was firm: "Compared with them, I don't have any noble ideas, I just want His Highness to see that I am not worthy of the military uniform he gave me, nor is I ashamed of the thousands of people in the inner city of Yanyun City!" ”

Although the king of Chu was proclaimed emperor, this group of people preferred to call him His Royal Highness.

Your Highness, they have been shouting for a few years, and they are familiar with it, and they also shout out their feelings.

"Me too! I can still keep! I was a person who was going to starve to death in the past, and I was arrested and sent to the Turks during the Youzhou Incident, I thought that my life was bleak, but His Royal Highness rescued me, and he also gave meat porridge to eat! This was unimaginable before, I used to have to break a bowl of millet porridge for a few days! I will continue to protect this land and people for that man! ”

"Captain, the people of the inner city, they all think that we are the weakest, yes! Compared to other armies, we are the weakest! The better soldiers in the Self-Defense Forces will be replenished to other armies, and we will be left in the Self-Defense Forces like flaws, but I want to say! The defective product is also stronger than the so-called Turkic Iron Horse!! ”

"We can continue to stay here, block the Turks, and prevent the flames of war from burning to Yanyun City, causing the people in my inner city to be panic and worry!"

"Captain, guard!"

"Guard!!"

“…….”

One after another living Self-Defense Army soldiers, their eyes are determined, and they have to guard. None of them shouted to retreat.

That voice, every sentence, and every word said it was all caused to die and die outside the degree.

They share the same belief that they will die for that man!

Yang Duwei looked at them, his eyes became softer and softer, tears fell like no money, and his voice was choked: "You....you...."

"Really....sure.....

His voice was uncertain.

He was not afraid of death, but he really wanted to take them back, home, back to that familiar and warm home.

This time, no one spoke.

But they all looked at Captain Yang with firm eyes, and clenched the weapons in their hands.

Now.

Words are better than sounds.

Yang Duwei instantly understood their will, he looked at them, looked carefully, didn't dare to close his eyes and watch, he wanted to keep them all in his mind.

"Since we are all sure to keep it, then we, then, guard!"

"Brothers...."

Captain Yang looked at them, and his voice at this moment was full of pride: "I always think that although we are the weakest of all the armies under His Highness's account, our backbone and will are not the weakest!" ”

"Praise the battle song of my self-defense army!"

His voice was not choking, it was full of pride.

It is an honor to have such a group of soldiers, and he is so honored ....

With an order.

Soon, a war song sounded as if the earth was trembling.

"What sound?"

The Turkic soldiers on the nearest Turkic defense line were slightly stunned, and then they heard the familiar battle song, the battle song of the enemy.

"Put on my iron armor and carry a long knife!"

"It's a long road to fight with your son!"

"Hatred of the same enemy, life and death together!"

"Garrison the Jade Gate, chase Hu'er!"

"Fight with the son, Han is fearless!"

“…….”

Every sound, every sentence, made the Turkic soldiers furious.

Every time such a battle song sounds, their enemies will be invincible like chickens.

"Attack! Give me offense! Kill them!! ”

There are Turkic commanders with scarlet eyes, as if they saw the war song of the past, and their Turkic soldiers died tragically one by one.

He's going to kill them, kill them all!!

So a new round of offensive began.....

….…….….….….

Yanyun City.

Day 8.

"Your Majesty, I received a letter from Captain Yang and them."

A scout came with a letter.

Li Kuan took the letter, and then slowly opened it.

According to the task, they could have retreated yesterday, but they didn't, he wanted to see what happened.

From the curiosity at the beginning to the melancholy after reading the letter, Li Kuan spent fifteen minutes.

Obviously this letter is only a few hundred words, but it seems to him that it has taken him a century to read it....

Li Kuan took the letter, came to the window, and looked in the direction of the limelight plateau: "You....still have to guard...."

He was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say....

Then he walked out of the palace, and was greeted by the thousands of people in the inner city with weapons in their hands.

The Tang Dynasty and the Turks attacked together, and the people in the inner city of the city were all soldiers!

The elderly, the weak, women and children are the mainstay.

It's not that there are no men, but most of the men and pillars of their family have joined the army and joined the self-defense army.

The remaining old and weak women and children, when they learned that there were not enough soldiers in Yanyun City, they all volunteered to take up arms to protect this hard-won paradise of losers, protect Yanyun City, and protect...this man....

Li Kuan's eyes were all firm.

Oh, yes!

Firm, they're always so determined.

Obviously, they are all a group of scumbags, and usually some people have to hesitate for a long time to kill a chicken and don't even dare to kill it, but they always want to protect....protect him, a person who can enter and exit the enemy army seven times and seven times.

They, always think, that he is weak ....

He needs to be guarded, more than anyone else.....

…….….….….….

Day 8.

Lethe Gorge.

"General Xin, the limelight is high, the Tang army here has not moved, do we want to return to the limelight plateau?"

"Don't move, continue to garrison the Lethe Gorge!"

"Yes! General Xin, too many brothers have died in the limelight plateau, we are only going back part...."

"Don't move!!"

"Yes! General Xin...."

The commander of Wei Wushu, who made the suggestion, was halfway through his words, when he saw Xin Qijian turn around, he saw it, and he saw that pair of eyes full of tears.

Then, the firm voice came again.

"The defenders here, don't move!!"

Meanwhile.

Outside the Lethe Gorge.

"Brother Chai, eight days have passed, and the Turks have not yet broken through the defense line of the limelight plateau, so it can be determined that it is the main force of the Yan Kingdom blocking the Turks."

"So, even though there is an army of the Yan Kingdom in this Lechuan Gorge, it is definitely not the main force, if it is still the main force here, then they still have the main force over there to block the Turks for seven days, so how strong is the military strength of this Yan Country!"

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help it.

He wanted to break through the Lechuan Canyon as soon as possible and arrive at the city of Yanyun City.

Chai Shao frowned slightly.

Truly!

As Cheng Yanjin said, the Lechuan Gorge here is probably not the main force of the Yan Kingdom, and their main forces have blocked the Turks on the Limelight Plateau, and they have been blocking for seven days.

This is not the main force of the Yan Country, so if you break through forcibly, there won't be much battle damage.

But!

For seven days, they were not unmoved.

They sent dozens of scouts, but without a word, they were all executed.

And Cheng Yanjin also used his hooligan tactics, that is, pretending to be a person in women's clothes, pretending to want to pass by, but he also had no sound since entering the Lechuan Canyon.

This hooligan tactic seems nonsensical, but in previous wars, Chai Shao has seen it effective.

He Cheng Biting Jin did this kind of thing, not once or twice. In those years, when he fought for the Tang Dynasty, there were not many similar methods used.

Either disguised as enemy reinforcements, or pretending to be passing merchants, the most excessive is disguised as a Qinglou woman to attract the enemy's checkpoint to open the door.

For Cheng Yanjin, there is no psychological pressure at all with these hooligan plays, as the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of cheating, as long as they can win, he is not afraid of anything.

That's why Cheng Biting Jin got the name of a demon king of the mixed world, not only because of his brute strength with a three-plate axe, but also because he didn't have much scruples about using these means.

can be used, this reputation is a little unpleasant, and his glorious image of Lu Guogong will be ruined?

Therefore, these tactics did not spread to the people.

But he Chai Shao knows!

Cheng Biting Jin's hooligan tactics, coupled with his scouts, all entered the Lechuan Canyon and lost their voices.

It's as if....

Chai Shao looked at the Lechuan Gorge, only to feel that the Lethe Gorge was like a giant mouth of the abyss, devouring all the enemy troops that entered there, including the 10,000 army of him and Cheng Yanjin.

"General Cheng, wait a few more days, don't worry."

Chai Shao spoke.

Cheng Biting Taurus's eyes widened: "Do you think that there is still the main force of the Yan Kingdom in the Lechuan Gorge?" ”

Chai Shao smiled: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, after all, we don't know anything about that canyon." ”

Cheng Yanjin said angrily: "If this Yan country still has the main force here, then he will be a big country that can resist the elite armies of my Tang Dynasty and the Turks!" This is something that even Tibet can hardly do! ”

"Let's put it this way, my old town thinks it's the limelight over there. The Yan Kingdom is almost unable to support it, he only has one city, supporting more than 300,000 people, and a maximum of 20,000 troops, how can he wait for 20,000 Turkic iron cavalry? ”

"Even if it is blocked, the strength of the whole country must be raised, and it is even more impossible for there to be a main army here!"

Chai Shao thought about it, and it was such a reason.

But he....

I always feel that something is wrong.

"General Cheng, wait three more days."

Chai Shao spoke.

Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin seemed to be about to burst out, he hurriedly continued: "I've been waiting for seven days, and I'm still three days away?" ”

"Wait for three more days, with the intensity of the Turkic attack, after three days, we will definitely be able to consume a lot of troops in the Yan Country, and even if we raise the army of the whole country at that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop my Tang Tiger Division!"

Chai Shao's words were all said about this, and Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to give up.

They continued to camp in the same place and prepared for a general assault three days later.

And there is a conjecture about Chai Shao, yes, his conjecture is right.

With the intensity of the Turkic 20,000 iron cavalry attack, a small country with a population of only more than 300,000 will definitely have a headache, and after ten days of fierce attack, the army will definitely have nothing left, let alone return to the 180-degree Lechuan Gorge.

After three days, the attack will be unharmed.

yes, his conjecture was right ....

But his opponents are....King Chu, and the monsters under his account.......

Three days passed.

To Chai Shao's surprise, on the side of the limelight plateau, the Turks have not yet broken through.

In this way, the main force of Yancheng has been blocking the 20,000 Turkic iron cavalry for ten days, which is really powerful.

"Hahaha, Brother Chai, it's time, it's time for us to do it too, right?"

"After resting for so long, the bones of my Lao Cheng and my Vermilion Bird Battalion soldiers are going to be loose."

Cheng Bingjin laughed loudly.

Chai Shao also said with a smile: "It's time to do it, although the scouts still can't find out, but I think it's because Yanguo's anti-reconnaissance ability is powerful, and it's not the so-called main army." ”

"Cheng Biting Jin, although I can attack, I still let a thousand Youzhou ride in, they are fine, you Vermilion Bird Camp will go in again."

Cheng Yanjin thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Half an hour later.

Cheng Yanjin and Chai Shao, led a total of 10,000 troops, marched towards the Lechuan Gorge.

When they arrived only one mile away from the Lethe River Canyon, a thousand Youzhou riders rushed in.

They passed through the Lechuan Gorge unharmed, and sent cavalry back to tell Chai Shao and Cheng Yanjin about their safety.

Cheng Yanjin was about to take the Vermilion Bird Battalion to open up, but Chai Shao was still relieved, and sent two or three waves of Youzhou to ride in.

Still, it's fine.

In this way, he was also completely relieved.

led a thousand Xuanjia horsemen, and Cheng Biting Jin's three thousand Vermilion Bird Guards entered the Lechuan Gorge.

"Haha, we thought there were enemy troops here, but as a result, Brother Chai, Renyan Country is not defended at all."

"Think about it, it is estimated that in the face of the Turkic iron cavalry army, they are already sweating profusely, how can they have the spare strength to deal with us."

"Speaking of which, we should really thank the Turks for delaying the entire army of the Yan Country, so that we can directly reach the Yanyun City."

Along the way, Cheng Biting Jin's big mouth was chattering.

Chai Shao dealt with it casually, and his attention was more focused on the canyon peaks on both sides.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Chai Shao noticed that something was not quite right and looked towards the peak.

Moment.

His face changed dramatically.

"It's not good, that's Shanshi, General Cheng, we've been tricked!!"

Chai Shao was shocked.

"What?"

Cheng was surprised.

Before he could react, countless rocks slipped from the peak, and countless arrows struck.

At this moment, Cheng Yanjin completely understood what was going on, and said loudly: "Enemy attack!" ”

The first wave of rocks and arrows hit a lot of Vermilion Bird Guards and Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and then in the second wave, the Vermilion Bird Battalion launched a defense without many casualties.

They are the most elite army in the Empire, and their on-the-spot reflexes are nothing short of formidable.

It was the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and there were many casualties.

The 5,000 Youzhou cavalry and 1,000 Xuanjia cavalry on both sides of the canyon also ushered in a surprise attack by the enemy at this time.

Left wing, that is, Chen Qingzhi's army under the account of the king of Chu, more than 5,000 white-robed riders!

The right wing, close to Yanyun City, is led by Xin Qiji, three thousand Wei warriors!

There are also 2,000 Wei warriors, who are attacking with arrows and rocks on the peak.

The Great War begins.

The elite army of the Tang Dynasty is no worse than the army of the king of Chu, but the two commanders of them are both trapped in the canyon, and the outside army is led by small teams, and the army of Xin Qiji and Chen Qingzhi is directly divided into small battlefields and slowly eats away.

"Hit, damn, damn!!"

Cheng Biting Jin was annoyed.

Chai Shao was disgraced at the moment, and said loudly: "General Cheng, don't panic, our army is the most elite army in the empire!" ”

However, not long after saying that, Chai Shaojiu was dumbfounded.

In the canyon outside him, the Youzhou cavalry he personally trained was wantonly slaughtered by the white-robed cavalry.

This....

Okay, what about the main forces fighting against the Turks on the plateau in the limelight?

It's hard to believe that they have other main forces.

But how can a city with a population of only more than 300,000 afford to raise so many elite troops!

He was completely dumbfounded.

The same is true for Cheng Biting Jin on the side.

The two generals of the Tang Empire couldn't help but panic in their hearts, what kind of enemy they were facing....what kind of enemy they were facing!!
