Jieli Khan's words had an effect in the big tent. Although ten thousand people were not many, they were all cavalry, and they were fighting on the mainland. The Turks were born on the grassland and were very familiar with the grassland.

Fighting is like taking a walk in your own home. Although most of the people left behind on the grassland are the old, weak, sick and disabled, if you add this 10,000-strong army, it will be enough to wipe out all the troops entering the grassland from the Tang Dynasty. As soon as Jie Li finished his words,

There was a sudden silence in the big tent, and everyone was calculating the pros and cons of this.

"Khan, our White Horse tribe requests that among the 10,000 elite troops, five thousand of our White Horse tribe members should be responsible for it." Hearing this, the chief of the White Horse tribe stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, yes, we also have three thousand people from the Buffalo Tribe." The leader of the Buffalo Tribe stood up not to be outdone.

"The remaining two thousand people will come from our Goshawk tribe." The leader of the Goshawk tribe also stood up. The tribes of these three people are not far away from the border of the Tang Dynasty, and their power is relatively large, and because they are close to the border of the Tang Dynasty, they are all

A very wealthy tribe, no wonder they are so impatient. You must know that on the grasslands, it is common for these tribes to annex each other. It is not like in the Central Plains, where in peacetime, the central government has extremely strong control over the local areas. I think

It is difficult to conquer another city. But this does not exist on the grassland. Once people from other tribes are sent to fight against the Tang army, maybe the Tang army has not been defeated, but one's own tribe has been wiped out by reinforcements. These three

The patriarch had to consider this issue.

"Okay. Let's do it like this. The general Huchi'er will lead the army, wipe out Lu Zhaoying, and drive the Tang army out of the grassland." Jieli Khan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the three clan leaders. He was a generational hero, so he naturally understood these three clan leaders.

It was the intention of the clan leader. But he was not willing to argue with the three of them at this time, and without hesitation he ordered a fierce general from the Wild Wolf Tribe to be the commander of the army. He would command three troops that did not belong to each other. This must have happened.

The three of them were relieved. As expected, when the three tribal leaders heard that Huchier was leading the army, they stopped talking and retreated.

"Khan is wise." No matter what, Jieli Khan is still the overlord of the grasslands. Even in name only, the three tribal leaders have to obey his orders and praise Khan as wise.

"Okay. Now that your matter has been settled, let's talk about the matter at hand." Jieli Khan glanced at everyone in the tent and coldly snorted: "Li Jing's army is about to arrive, what should you do?

He has hundreds of thousands of troops. If he fights against us, our army will probably suffer heavy losses. Please tell us how we can reduce our losses and defeat Lu Zhaoci. You know, our grassland warriors are no match for Lu Zhaoci.

There are many people, and it doesn’t matter how many people die, but if one of our prairie warriors dies, it will be a loss. It can be said that we cannot afford the loss. Only by annihilating the opponent’s vitality with very small losses can we occupy the largest share.

benefit."

"Khan, why don't we defeat Dingxiang first, capture Lu Zhaoci, and then confront Li Jing. Presumably, if Lu Zhaoci is captured by us, the morale of the Tang Dynasty army will plummet, and they will have no intention of fighting with our army. [wzdff Close fight

] This can reduce the losses of the prairie warriors." Zhi lost his mind and said loudly.

"Capture Lu Zhaoci?" Jieli Khan looked gloomy, looking at the city in the distance. Mottled spots on the city wall could be vaguely seen, and there were many blood stains on it. There was also a section of the city wall that was badly broken, which was left after the fierce battle.

Product. From the outside, Dingxiang City has long been broken into pieces, like tofu, and cannot compete with it at all. However, from Jie Li's perspective, Dingxiang City now looks like a giant beast, constantly spinning.

Devouring the lives of the Turkic warriors, Jieli had already lost nearly 20,000 soldiers under Dingxiang City. Although at the same time, Lu Zhaoci, who defended Dingxiang, also paid a heavy price, but the Dingxiang city

The isolated city was still in Lu Zhaoci's hands. Standing there, the mottled walls seemed to be mocking Jie Li.

Breaking into it and capturing Lu Zhaoci had been Jieli's dream for many years, but it was this Dingxiang city that shattered Jieli's dream. He stopped hundreds of thousands of troops at the foot of Dingxiang city, which made him very frustrated.

Unhappy, but helpless. Now that Li Jing has arrived with an army, this hope has become even more slim.

"Yes, the Khan has only one way now, which is to attack the city and capture Lu Zhaoci. Use Lu Zhaoci to threaten Li Jing to withdraw his troops and threaten the Tang Dynasty. Hey, think about it, when those Tang Dynasty people heard this

If their emperor is captured by us, what kind of reaction will they have? Can they still have the confidence to fight with us on the battlefield? Khan, the general who ordered the attack will guarantee that we will definitely capture Dingxiang City within three days.

, present Lu Zhaoci's head to the Great Khan." Qibi Heli also said loudly. He has not forgotten what he was insulted by Lu Zhaoci back then. He wants to take this opportunity to humiliate Lu Zhaoci.

..

"Great Khan, attack!" Many grassland nobles stood up and shouted loudly. Victory was just around the corner. Dingxiang City had been attacked by them for several months and was already dilapidated. With a little effort, Dingxiang City could be captured.

Xiang, capture Lu Zhaoci alive and recreate the majesty of the Huns back then. These people can even get countless gold and silver treasures, how can they not be ruthless?

"Instruct the three armies. Those who board Dingxiang City will be rewarded with thousands of miles of fertile pasture. Those who capture and kill Lu Zhaoci will be crowned the second king." Jieli Khan stood up, the golden scepter in his hand flashed with dazzling light, and his eyes were firm.

, looking at Dingxiang City, said loudly.

"Capturing Lu Zhaoci alive" in the big tent, the flames of war in the hearts of the Turkic nobles were ignited. What a rich reward this is, not to mention the king, even the thousands of miles of fertile pasture is also very exciting. With that,

These thousands of miles of pasture can more than double the strength of a tribe. If Lu Zhaoci is captured, the reward will be even more crazy. At this time, no one doubts that the insidious and cunning Jieli Khan can deceive people.

Because at this time, it was impossible for him to lie to others. No one hated Lu Zhaoci more than him.

"Attack" Jieli Khan was shocked. He waved the golden scepter in his hand, pointed at Dingxiang City and shouted.

At the moment of the "attack", not only countless Turkic soldiers inside the big tent, but also outside the big tent were stunned by Jieli Khan's generous reward.

With a crazy look on his face, he raised his weapons with both hands and let out loud roars. The sound shook the surrounding areas and shook the entire Dingxiang City.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Jie Li is going to die." On the wall of Dingxiang City, Changsun Wuji's clothes were shabby, and the imperial attendants who used to represent his status had also disappeared without a trace. What was draped on him was actually armor, which replaced the spaciousness.

robe. At this time, the obese Changsun Wuji did not have the leisure of the past. Even his obese body had lost a lot of weight. Not only his clothes, but also his hair were stained with blood. I am afraid that at this time

, even if Changsun Wuji's close relatives come, they probably won't recognize this person as Changsun Wuji. From this, we can see everything that has happened in Dingxiang City these days.

"Haha, auxiliary machine, Jieli Khan is so anxious. Of course, it is a sign that he is angry, but more importantly, our reinforcements are here." At this time, Lu Zhaoci no longer looked as elegant as before, and his face was thin.

, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and he still had the high-spirited look of the past. The armor on his body was very old and black, but the faint golden light in it made people know that the owner of the armor was different. It turned out that these black things

, is not its real color, but is formed by cooling and solidifying after being stained with blood. Although Lu Zhaoci handed over the city defense to Xue Rengui, he is the king of a country, and his personal force can be said to be almost invincible in the world, regardless of

For whatever reason, it was not his turn to watch others fighting hard, while he himself was watching the excitement on the side, and was protected by countless people. This was not his character, Lu Zhaoci, so he ignored his eldest grandson.

Despite the dissuasion of Wuji, Xue Rengui and others, they still went to the battlefield with full body armor. For several months, Dingxiang City was still able to persist under the siege of Jieli Khan's heavy troops. The existence of Lu Zhaoci has a great deal to do with it.

relationship.

"Your Majesty, did you say that the general has sent out troops?" Xue Rengui's white armor was also dyed red and black, and he was exuding murderous aura. The Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand shone with cold light, which was intimidating. It was not because of killing too many people.

It was covered in blood. Changsun Wuji on the side couldn't help but frowned, not only because of the murderous aura on Xue Rengui's body, but more importantly, the stench on Xue Rengui's body.

"Yes, if the general has not sent out troops at this time, he is no longer a general." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said: "Only this explanation can make Jieli Khan so crazy and anxious. Otherwise, Jieli Khan

Li Khan could slowly besiege the city and attack slowly. Only the general came, so he was anxious. He was afraid that all his hard work would be turned into ashes."

"Haha, I'm afraid Jieli Khan would never have thought that His Majesty could persist in Dingxiang for such a long time." As soon as Changsun Wuji heard that Li Jing was coming, the tension on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his face became tense.

For the first time, the emperor showed a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty had the foresight to decide Dingxiang like this a long time ago, which is why Jieli Khan stopped at the foot of Dingxiang City many times."

"Haha, it's not my fault, but the fault of all the ministers." Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the efforts of the ministers, Dingxiang City would have been captured by Jieli Khan long ago, and I

I am afraid that Lu Zhaoci has become a prisoner of Jieli Khan a long time ago. What contribution can I make? No matter how powerful I am, I am afraid that I will not be able to repel Jieli's army of hundreds of thousands."

"Your Majesty, there are only over 10,000 people left in the city now, and most of them are injured. It may be difficult to withstand Jie Li's crazy attack. Your Majesty, should we let Zhou Qing and others go into battle at this time?"

Xue Rengui looked at the surging Turkic cavalry with a hint of worry on his face. After several months of consumption, although Lu Zhaoci had stored a large amount of food and grass in the city for the Northern Expedition, there was a fatal flaw:

There is a shortage of manpower, and there are not many soldiers under his command. As of now, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers, and they are all exhausted.

"No." Lu Zhaoci refused without thinking: "Zhou Qing's reserve team is for me to counterattack. Only with the existence of that reserve team can I defeat Jie Li. The general's army must be

It's coming soon. At the critical moment, I need Zhou Qing's 5,000 men to go out of the city and attack Jieli Khan's rear camp. They can coordinate with the general and defeat Jieli Khan in one fell swoop. In this way, our army will be able to attack Jieli Khan soon.

After that, the Turks were defeated more completely."

"But" Xue Rengui's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment when he heard this. He was not allowed to use the reserve team, and he was asked to rely on the exhausted army in his hands to fight against Jie Li, which made it difficult for him.

"There is no pity." Lu Zhaoci snorted coldly: "If not, the suffering we have endured in the past few months will be in vain, and those soldiers who died will be in vain. Don't worry, I believe that,

Jieli is also a tired warrior. After several months of fierce fighting, his soldiers are exhausted. Hum, how long can a war with no victory in sight be sustained? With this, Jieli

has failed. But our soldiers are different. Although they are very tired, don't forget that we have reinforcements. Behind us, there is the entire Tang Dynasty and countless people of the Tang Dynasty. This is a considerable force.

The terrifying power is not something that he can withstand. With these people here, Dingxiang will be able to defend it. Xue Rengui, go tell the soldiers that the general's reinforcements are already a hundred miles away. As long as you persist for a while, Dingxiang will be defeated.

The general's reinforcements will arrive, and then it will be time to counterattack Jieli."

"Yes, I will tell the soldiers now." Xue Rengui nodded. He knew that at this most critical time, promotion and wealth could no longer meet the needs of the soldiers. Everyone was dead, so why did they need those things?

What's the use? At this time, the only thing the soldiers care about most is survival. As long as they can save their lives, that is the biggest requirement. The most exciting thing at this time is not the high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

It was the arrival of reinforcements. The person leading the reinforcements was Li Jing, the general of the dynasty and known as the God of Military.

Looking at Xue Rengui's leaving figure, Changsun Wuji showed a trace of worry on his face, and whispered to Lu Zhaoci: "Your Majesty, when you analyzed Jieli, you said that Jieli was going to use Dingxiang as bait to keep attacking.

Let the army of the Tang Dynasty come to the rescue, and the opportunity taken by us is constantly consuming the strength of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the general comes, isn't it just a trick of his? I'm afraid that at this time, Jieli Khan is waiting

Where is the general coming? Isn’t the general more dangerous?"

"Haha, auxiliary aircraft, one moment and the other." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "If the general led the army ten days ago, it would have been a lose-lose outcome, and even our army of the Tang Dynasty would have been lost.

Mostly, because at that time, the morale of Jieli Khan's army was high, and the leaders of the grassland tribes were thinking about how to capture me to establish eternal achievements. If the general came at that time, he would definitely be defeated by them with all their strength.

.It was the most dangerous place at that time. But it is different now. Look at my Dingxiang City. Even with me here, these soldiers are exhausted and can't support it anymore. Although the Turkic soldiers outside the city are more numerous than

There are many of us, but we are from different tribes. There is a possibility of inconsistent orders. More importantly, we have been attacking Dingxiang for several months, but there has been no progress at all. We are still stopped at the city. They are also anxious. Military morale

They are also panicking a lot. Don't look at how crazy they are right now. If I guessed correctly, it is the result of heavy rewards. There must be brave men under heavy rewards, but once their morale is exhausted, these soldiers have no hope.

, there is no hope for Jieli. So I say, as long as we resist this wave of attacks in front of us, the auxiliary aircraft, you and I will be safe."

"Your Majesty is wise." Changsun Wuji said respectfully: "Once the general's reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid Jieli won't be the only one who will be disappointed. I don't know how many disappointed people there are in the capital." Passing by Lu Zhaoci.

After this analysis, Changsun Wuji completely relaxed. Once this guy relaxed, he immediately shifted his attention from the battlefield to the country and to the court. He was fully satisfied with his danger this time.

Jin, he vowed to catch the person behind it. Thinking about how hard it was for his eldest son, Sun Wuji, to climb to where he is today. He finally got to where he is today, becoming a close minister next to Lu Zhaoci, wearing a red dress.

Zi, what an honor it was to accompany Lu Zhaoci on his inspection of the Great Wall this time. Unexpectedly, someone actually fired a hidden arrow from behind, and he almost died in Dingxiang. This made him angry. There were foreign enemies before,

Jieli Khan's army was always threatening his life, so he would forbear and put the matter behind him, but things were different now. Reinforcements were about to arrive, and the crisis was about to be resolved, so it was time to settle the score.

At this time, Changsun Wuji naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to give eye drops to others at this time. So it was a surefire move as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What the auxiliary machine said is true." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said: "I haven't received any news from the court for a long time. I don't know what will happen in the court during my absence. Everything is waiting for me.

Don’t worry, I will make further calculations after returning to Beijing. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If I don’t investigate thoroughly, it will be very dangerous for me as an emperor. I must always be on guard against being betrayed by others. Auxiliary machine, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly after returning to Beijing.

, I will leave it to you and let the Jin Yiwei cooperate, and you can have full command of the Jin Yiwei."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji looked overjoyed. Even Cen Wenwen had never enjoyed this kind of treatment, and he didn't expect that he actually got it. How unhappy he was. ()
