Chapter 127 Retreat

Chapter 127 Retreat
"The military situation ahead, the military situation ahead!"

A sentry was galloping through the barracks on horseback, shouting an urgent military report ahead, and rushed to the door of Xieli's tent, then jumped off his horse and ran into the tent.

"Khan, there is an urgent military situation from the front!"

"Oh, what happened?"

Picking up the wine jug on the table, he poured himself a glass of wine into the white porcelain cup. Seeing the blending of the white wine cup and the cloudy liquor, Xieli had to sigh in his heart, the craftsmanship of the Han people is really ingenious!
"Reporting to Khan, according to urgent reports from the front, the Han people's Chang'an City has just opened its gates, and they chose to fight us outside the city!"

"What did you say?"

Accidentally, Xie Li's hand trembled, and he threw this perfect porcelain cup to pieces. If he used to be very distressed, he would even kill the sentinel, but now all he shows on his face is ecstasy .

"You said that the Han people just opened the city gate and wanted to fight us outside the city?"

"Yes, Khan."

"Hahahahaha, stupid king of Tang! Blessed by my Turkic wolf god, my ancestors have spirits! The Han people dared to open the city gate to fight against my Turkic warriors. If this is the case, then today I will take down the Han city in one fell swoop. , and then began to build my Great Turkic Empire here."

Looking up to the sky and laughing a few words, Jieli turned his head and said to the sentinel kneeling on the ground:
"Go and inform the Turkic warriors ahead, and tell them that today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me in Turks, and I must seize it well. As long as I break through the Han city, everyone will be rewarded, and I will be rewarded!"

"Yes, Khan."

After the sentry left, Tuli came over with a worried expression and asked:
"Uncle, don't you think this is weird? The Han people who are at a disadvantage dare to go out of the city to fight. What if there is fraud in it?"

"Don't worry, I know a lot about the news of the Han people this time. Do you know why we can attack Datang all the way here this time?"

Tuli thought for a moment and said:
"Is it because the Tang Dynasty had no soldiers?"

"No, no, there are still a lot of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, but there is one thing, that is, their soldiers are not near Chang'an City at this time, so this time whether we drive straight in or fight the opponent outside the city, we can Fight with peace of mind."

Speaking of this, Jie Li was obviously very proud. He had spent a lot of money to obtain this information, and now it really came in handy.

"Come on, let's also go to the front line now. I must witness the moment when my Turkic warriors invaded Chang'an City, because this will be the beginning of my great Turkic Empire."

"Come on, let me all charge, today, let these savages see how powerful I am!"

Xu Da ran back and forth all the way to guide the Ming soldiers to run there, but because Li Yi set up the Void Gate at the gate of the city, it was convenient for the Ming soldiers to attack.

"Soldiers, kill me. You must not lose the majesty of the Tang Dynasty today!"

"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"

Because of the fighting between the Ming soldiers and the Turkic soldiers outside the city, the Turkic soldiers who stayed on the city wall suddenly became rootless water, and they were quickly submerged in the face of the surging Datang soldiers.

After Cheng Yaojin and his few fierce generals fought on the city wall, they immediately took their troops out of the city to fight.

Now this is the Tang Dynasty's war, and it would be embarrassing to invite someone to help, and it would be too shameful if the limelight was taken away by others!
Cheng Yaojin is really shameless in the court, but now on the battlefield, he is the fierce general of Datang's first echelon after all, and the important task of maintaining Datang's face is now on their shoulders.

"Khan, you are here."

"Well, let me see how the battle is going?"

Hearing Jie Li's words, several Turkic generals had a trace of panic on their faces, because they had been fighting for so long and not only failed to make any progress in the battle, but also lost all the advantages they gained when they first attacked the city.

"Hey, is this the army from the Tang Dynasty?"

Standing on the high platform, looking at the army in red clothes fighting against his Turkic army in front of him, Jieli was a little confused. In his impression, the Tang Dynasty did not seem to have such an army.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Therefore, I have made a lot of efforts to understand the army of the Tang Dynasty.

For example, the black army Jieli next to the red clothes knows that it is the Xuanjia Army, the ace army of Tang Dynasty King Li Shimin.

And he also knows a few well-known generals in the Tang Dynasty, such as Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, etc., but the one he remembers most is Cheng Yaojin, who is now in charge of leading the Xuanjia Army, because his He doesn't look like a Han Chinese, big and thick, thick-backed, unshaven, and he looks like a Turkic warrior in a change of clothes.

Now that there are different troops mixed in, this immediately aroused Xieli's vigilance. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty came to reinforce the army?
But it shouldn't be. Where did they come from for reinforcements at this time, and he has sentries around Chang'an City, so he hasn't received any news.

"Arhan, Arhan, come here."

"Khan, what's the matter?"

Standing beside Xieli, Arhan's tensed forehead began to sweat, because the real Xieli was not as kind as his peaceful appearance. To them, Xieli was an extremely ferocious demon.

"How is our engagement with the Han Chinese now?"

"this this"

"Say!"

Seeing Arhan stammering, Jieli knew something must have happened, and immediately whipped Arhan.

"Yes, back to Khan, we are at a disadvantage in the battle with the Han people, and the Han people are still counterattacking us. If this continues, we Turkic warriors will suffer heavy losses."

"What, how is this possible?"

Jieli didn't believe it was the result. Just now I was fantasizing about conquering Chang'an City and establishing the Turkic Empire, but now you tell me that I can't win. Is this one step to heaven and one step to hell?

"Khan, it wasn't like this originally, but for some reason, there are more and more soldiers and horses in red on the opposite side. All the advantages gained by our Turkic warriors have been beaten back by them."

Jieli climbed up the high platform with his chubby belly again, and then stared carefully at the soldiers and horses in red clothes on the opposite side, and found that they were continuously coming out of the gate of Chang'an City.

Seeing this situation, Jie Li could not understand that he had fallen into a trap, but he had to admire the King of Tang for being so tolerant that he did not bring out the reinforcements until now.

"Retreat, let's retreat."

Xieli also resigned to his fate, and now they have no choice but to retreat, because retreating can save a little strength, but if they don't retreat, all their lives will be here.

"Khan, we can't withdraw, we can still fight, but we can't withdraw!"

Ashina Duwei ran to Jie Li and begged him not to withdraw his troops. If he did, he would be in trouble.

Seeing this guy who rushed forward and said he couldn't withdraw, Jieli's anger of failure suddenly surged up, and then vented towards him, pulled out the scimitar of the person next to him, and slashed at this guy who was considered his younger brother. go down.

The Turkic general next to him has long been accustomed to this. If he wants to blame him, he can only blame Ashina Dewey for being unlucky, and at the same time, he should also blame him for what he deserved.

Because when he had just gained the upper hand, Ashina Duwei relied on his strong troops and horses to snatch the task of attacking the city gate, so that he could enter Chang'an City in advance later and win the victory.

But I didn't expect that the plot would turn around now. We couldn't win and needed to retreat. If we retreated, we would definitely have to leave someone behind to cut off the tail. So who should be left behind?

Of course, Ashina Dewey's subordinates, who were the first to rush forward, were left behind. If you were the first to rush forward, if you retreat now, then you will be the last to stay.

As for why Ashina Duwei risked his life just now to persuade Jieli not to retreat, it's because in the Turks, if you don't have anyone under your command, then who knows who you are.

Ashina Dewey, who used to be a master, can only become the most ordinary Turkic warrior when he returns to Turkic this time. How do you let him accept it.

"Let's retreat."

After killing the man, Xieli's anger dissipated a lot, and he knew it was better to run first.
