"Tell the king that the Tang army has moved and is marching towards Gaochang city." in the Gaochang palace, Gaochang envoy said with fear on his face.
Tang Jun's actions could not hide from Gaochang's scouts. Soon, the news of Tang Jun's departure had reached Qu Zhisheng's ears.
"Datang is really bold. Gaochang and the Turks jointly sent troops, but Datang still didn't retreat in the face of difficulties." Qu Zhisheng was furious. It was clear that the West Turks had intervened, but the Tang army didn't have any taboo. He continued to send troops, which made all his intentions come to naught.
Gaochang officials could not help but show their panic. Although the strength of the Tang army and Gaochang is almost the same, they are facing the Tang Dynasty, which has destroyed the country one after another. It is inevitable that they are a little nervous.
Soon, more and more news came. The Tang army was divided into two routes. All the way, the cavalry went to Khan futu city to intercept the Western Turkic cavalry, and most of the people and horses came straight to Gaochang city.
"Datang is really arrogant. He wants to fight against Gaochang and West Turks at the same time. He really wants to kill them all?" Qu Zhisheng said angrily.
Gao Chang's envoy shouted bitterly, "Your Majesty should think twice! This is Gao Chang's last chance. If you miss it, you may be in danger!"
Now the Tang army has not arrived at Gaochang city. If Gaochang surrenders at the moment, there may be a glimmer of vitality. If the Tang army really takes Gaochang City, Gaochang will have no chance and can only be handled by Datang.
Qu Zhisheng was furious. He had just succeeded to the throne of Gaochang for three days and had not had time to enjoy the taste of power. He had to give up. This made Qu Zhisheng unable to accept it anyway.
Suddenly, Qu Zhisheng's eyes coagulated, saw the position of Tang Jun's forward on the map, and then measured the direction of most of Tang Jun's men and horses. He was overjoyed.
"Hahaha, from the king's point of view, Tang Jun is not invincible, and sometimes makes mistakes! God helps Gaochang." Qu Zhisheng laughed up to the sky.
"King, have you ever found anything?" all officials asked one after another.
Qu Zhisheng pointed to the position of the Tang army forward on the map and said, "it's really a heaven given fighter. The Tang army forward was greedy for work and rushed forward. He even approached our Gaochang City alone."
"Ah!" when Gaochang officials looked, they found that the forward of the Tang army was far away from most of the Tang army, and had broken into the scope of Gaochang city.
"What does the king mean?" a hundred officials thought.
Qu Zhisheng said proudly, "if the 100000 troops of the Tang Dynasty come, the king will naturally defend the city. However, the forward of the Tang army is less than 10000. If we can take the initiative to eat the forward of the Tang army, we can not only weaken the strength of the Tang army, but also raise our high morale."
"Take the initiative to attack?" Gaochang officials were stunned and reluctant. If there was a strong city to guard, they would have enough confidence. If they went out of the city to fight with the Tang army, Gaochang officials would have no confidence.
"Why, there are only ten thousand Tang army forwards. If Gaochang can't even defeat this force, how can we resist the Tang Dynasty? Why don't you and I bind our hands and go to the Tang Dynasty to be prisoners." Qu Zhi roared angrily.
"Be a prisoner in Datang!"
Gaochang officials were immediately silent. Once Gaochang surrendered, Qu Zhisheng would bear the brunt, but they would certainly lose their current power and wealth.
"Well, we'll fight the Tang Dynasty!" all the officials made up their minds. As Qu Zhisheng said, if Gaochang can't even defeat the 10000 vanguards of the Tang Dynasty, how can we resist the 100000 Tang army.
Soon, the dead Gaochang gate was reopened, and 20000 Gaochang troops left the city with high morale to meet the Tang army forward Xin liao'er department.
Soon the two sides met not far from Gaochang City, and the war was imminent.
At the same time, Tang Jun also found the abnormality of Xin liao'er. Xin liao'er, a forward, was greedy for work and rushed forward, directly out of the scope of the army's support.
"Xin liao'er is so bold and reckless that he is greedy for work and puts 10000 soldiers in danger." Xue Wanjun said with a worried face.
"However, the forward troops led by Xin liaoer have been separated from the army for hundreds of miles. In case of an accident, I'm afraid we won't have time to rescue." Niu JINDA also frowned.
However, Hou Junji's eyes flashed and said to Xin liaoer: "Xin liao'er, as a forward, is responsible for exploring the way for the Tang army. The distance of 100 Li is not far. Moreover, Xin liao'er's headquarters are cavalry. If he meets an army that can't resist the enemy, he can easily return. Moreover, our general deliberately let Xin liao'er lead 10000 cavalry first. It is precisely to lure Gaochang to send troops. Only when Qu Zhisheng sees the gap between the Tang army and Gaochang army, Gaochang will be true I'm dying. "
The generals frowned. Xin liaoer's 10000 troops and horses are indeed a powerful military force. However, as the first power in the western regions, Gaochang's strength can not be underestimated. Even if the Tang army is brave, I'm afraid it will lose a lot.
The generals were secretly anxious and ordered the army to speed up the March. At the same time, they sent scouts one after another to inquire about the news.
Soon, the news that Gaochang sent 20000 troops came! The generals were worried.
This time even Hou Junji couldn't sit still. He sent Wanqi to meet him. However, before Wanqi Tang army went far, the news of Xin liaoer's defeat of Gao Changjun came.
"The array killed 3000 Gaochang soldiers, and Qu Zhisheng returned to Gaochang city in embarrassment!"
Hou Junji laughed at the report of the Scout. Xin liao'er was his confidant. The forward led by Xin liao'er defeated Gao Changjun and made him look glorious.
Other generals frowned one after another. Xin liaoer won the war by 10000 against 20000. I'm afraid he also lost a lot. However, the army won the war on the basis of victory and defeat. Xin liaoer won the war, and other problems were naturally covered up.
"The whole army is speeding up. Our army will camp under Gaochang city tonight!" Hou Junji said proudly.
In Gaochang City, Qu Zhisheng, who retreated to Gaochang City, looked ashamed. He was satisfied. He drove out and attacked the forward of the Tang army with twice the force. It was clear that the force and morale had the upper hand, but the result was in the hands of the Tang army and had to abandon his armor and withdraw to Gaochang city.
All the officials were in a dead silence. They didn't expect that Gaochang soldiers had been defeated so thoroughly. Gaochang is known as the first powerful country in the western regions. On weekdays, it just sent troops to compete with several small countries in the western regions. How can it compete with the Tang army who has experienced hundreds of wars? Under World War I, Gaochang was undoubtedly defeated. Fortunately, it was with its back to the city that Gaochang fled in embarrassment.
"Whether the city gate has been sealed! Be careful of Tang Jun's gunpowder." Qu Zhisheng said in fear.
"Don't worry, king. The gate has been sealed again." a guard hurried.
With the protection of Gaochang City, Qu Zhisheng felt a little relieved. The strength of Gaochang garrison was a little weak. However, Gaochang city was a well deserved strong city. When Ju Wentai went to Chang'an City, he was greatly touched when he came back and imitated the city built by Chang'an city. Only then did he get the title of the first male city in the western regions.
"What should I do? I've completely offended Datang this time!" envoy Gaochang said painfully. At the beginning, he urged Qu Zhisheng not to be impulsive. Now Gaochang and Datang have fought each other, and both sides have died and injured each other. This beam is finally settled.
Qu Zhisheng also regretted that he had already known that he would defend the strong city. There was really nothing to do, so he decided to surrender or resist.
"Now we can only count on the West Turks!" Qu Zhisheng looked north, which is the direction of Khan futu city.
