Khan futu inside and outside the city! The two Turkic armies are confronting each other.
One is the East Turkic cavalry led by Qixin Heli, who rushed to the bottom of Khan futu city. The other is the West Turkic cavalry led by ashnahoru, who occupied the wall of Khan futu city. When Turks were strong, the two armies should be of the same race. Now the two armies with the same origin stand on the opposite side.
"Qixin Heli! You and I are all Turks, but you betrayed Changsheng day and the grassland and became the eagle dog of the Tang Dynasty. It's humiliating to the ancestors of the grassland." ashnahelu scolded angrily in Khan futu city.
Qixin He Li looked at ashnahorus coldly and said, "we are all Turks, but there are few Turkic tribes killed by general Helu. All parts of the grassland have always been the law of the jungle. Why should general Helu pretend to be benevolent and hypocritical? If there were no Tang Dynasty, Qixin would have been killed."
The biggest threat to all parts of the grassland is not external aggression, but internal worries. Once a tribe weakens, it will attract the covet of other tribes, and its end is extremely miserable. The phenomenon of large tribes annexing small tribes can be found everywhere.
In those years, Qixin tribe was even more in crisis, so it had no choice but to invest in Datang and get the help of Datang. Qixin tribe once again stood proudly on the grassland and continued to grow.
"The fighting among the grassland departments is to make Turks stronger, but your position today is to stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty and make Turks the enemy. Let the Turk warriors fight with their families and shed the blood of our Turk warriors. As long as you Qixin how can you give up the secret and turn to the light, our general can set up a Khan guarantee to Yugu to further your Qixin tribal status."
Qixin He Li couldn't help laughing. When he was in Datang, he could clearly see the changes visible to the naked eye. It can be said that he was stronger day by day. Especially when he saw the power of gunpowder attacking Tiancheng with his own eyes and heard Mohist Zi's bold words about the instant destruction of Gaochang City, he strengthened his determination to stand on the side of Datang.
"Qixin Heli was born in Turks and would never aim his sword and gun at Turks. However, today is not about Datang and Turks, but about Datang and Gaochang. I'd like to give general Helu a piece of advice. Don't interfere in the war between Datang and Gaochang. Gaochang is hopeless and don't let the blood of Turkic warriors flow in vain." Qixin Heli shouted.
"Gaochang is hopeless!" ashnahelu was shocked. He heard a strong confidence from Qixin Heli's mouth.
"As one of the same Turks, how to make a decision depends on general Helu in the next sentence of advice." Qi Xin He Li took a deep look at ashnahelu and waved his hand. The Tang army retreated fifty miles and camped to monitor the Western Turkic army in Khan futu city nearby.
Looking at the Tang army led by Qixin Heli retreating slowly, ashnahoru's eyes were cold. He had led him into Khan's futu city. He himself had indicated the position of West Turks. How can he say that he would not intervene if he did not intervene? Moreover, if he was afraid of the enemy, he could not make a difference in the desire Valley Khan.
"General, Qixin Heli has betrayed the Turks. Shall we take the opportunity to clean up the traitor?" a Turk general came to ashnahoru and said ruthlessly.
Ashnahoru shook his head and said: "Qixin was just a small tribe in those days. Naturally, he wouldn't be in the eyes of our general. However, he relied on the Tang Dynasty and got Tang's armor and weapons. His strength can't be underestimated. I'm afraid our army won't benefit from attacking. Moreover, if we annoyed the Tang Dynasty, Tang turned around and attacked us in anger, even Tiancheng can't stop the Tang army, and Khan futu city can't stop the Tang army More evil than good. "
He saw with his own eyes that Qixin Heli's cavalry were all dressed in armor, which was only the treatment of Khan's personal guards in Yugu. Most of the troops he brought were leather armor. If there was a war, I'm afraid he couldn't take advantage at all. Just as Qixin Heli was unwilling to take the initiative to attack Khan futu City, ashnahelu naturally didn't want to provoke five times more than his own Tang Dynasty Army.
The Turkic generals could not help nodding silently. There were only 20000 soldiers in the West Turks, but there were as many as 100000 Tang troops. If they annoyed the Tang army, they might not be able to stop the Tang army.
"Shall we sit here and watch Gaochang fall?" the Turk general frowned.
ASHNA heluning said emphatically: "the key to this war is not Gaochang, nor you and me, but the determination of Datang and Khan. Now Datang has played 100000 troops and is bound to destroy Gaochang. Now it depends on whether Khan is willing to play 100000 Turkic warriors to keep Gaochang."
"Hundreds of thousands of Turkic warriors? It's spring, the season of cattle and sheep breeding. How can there be so many people?" the Turkic general frowned.
Cattle and sheep are bred in spring on the grassland. Only when cattle and sheep are fertilized in time can they be born in summer and thrive in autumn, can they be able to spend the cold winter. Once the cattle and sheep breeding season is missed, the number of newborn babies this year will be greatly reduced, and the herdsmen will suffer heavy losses and even face famine.
Ashnahoru said, "this may be the reason why the Tang army sent troops in advance. It just hit the weakness of Turks. The general has sent a letter to Khan overnight to ask for reinforcements. Whether to save Gaochang or not depends on how Khan decides."
Now with Qixin He Li monitoring him, he also has a good reason not to send troops. If he wants to defeat 100000 Tang troops, I'm afraid only western Turks can be sure.
"I hope Gaochang city can persist until the arrival of the Khan army." ashnahelu looked at Gaochang city from a distance and said helplessly.
Under Gaochang city!
The Tang army was surrounded by banners and banners. Everyone knew that the most important war against Gaochang was coming.
At the moment, Xin liao'er, who had just won the war, knelt in the Chinese Army's big tent with a ashamed face. Hou Junji, who was above the throne, saw the battle damage of the forward and said angrily to the sky: "if you hadn't been greedy for work and rash progress, how could the soldiers have died a thousand and injured two thousand, and the army didn't have such heavy casualties when attacking Tiancheng!"
This time, when the army went to Gaochang City, it was mainly to persuade them to surrender, so it would be better if they didn't have to kill or hurt the soldiers. However, Xin liaoer was greedy for work and rushed forward, so that Gaochang caught the fighter and bit the army forward, which made the army less than the rescue. Otherwise, the Tang army would not have such heavy casualties or let Gaochang return to the city so easily.
"The last general is ashamed!" Xin liao'er bowed his head. Although he won the battle, he lost 30% of his soldiers, which is indisputable.
"If you win this battle, you will kill 3000 Gaochang soldiers. Their merits and demerits are equal. If you dare to make mistakes again, you will be killed." Hou Junji was angry on the surface, but in fact, he held it high and said gently.
The generals frowned. Naturally, they knew that Hou Junji was defending Xin liao'er, and they were dissatisfied. However, it was a critical moment, and they didn't want to get involved.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Xin liao'er quickly thanked him. He couldn't help feeling resentment when he escaped the disaster. Naturally, he didn't dare to resent Hou Junji, but concentrated his resentment on Qu Zhisheng. According to his expectation, when the Tang army attacked, Qu Zhisheng would be scared to death to defend the city gate, but who would have thought that Qu Zhisheng was also brave and took the initiative to attack, It also caused many casualties to Tang Jun. although he tried his best to beat back Gao Changjun, he also lost a lot and made a disheartened face.
After Hou Junji handled the matter of Xin liao'er, he waved his hand and said, "now our army has surrounded Gaochang city. Let's discuss how to attack Gaochang city."
