I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Yanqi guard general Tan Li's answer had long been expected by Huihe Huairen Khan Guli Peiluo. This seemingly unnecessary "persuasion to surrender" was just to demonstrate his benevolence and righteousness.

When the Huihe general Azar rode his horse back to the coalition camp in the Western Regions, he repeated the answers given by the soldiers and civilians of Yanqi City in front of the powerful Peiro and the other generals from the Western Regions.

I saw the bone-strength Peiro riding on the back of a sweaty horse. He sneered and said to the generals of the Western Regions around him: "Everyone, did you all hear it?"

"General Tan Li of the Anxi Army in Yanqi City is determined to go against our Western Region Allied Forces. I gave them the opportunity, but they didn't cherish it!"

After saying that, Pei Luo of Bone Power let out a long sigh and continued: "Forget it, in that case, you don't need to worry anymore!"

"This Khan allows you not to seal the sword for three days after the city is broken. Whoever grabs the women, treasures, money and food in Yanqi City first will be his!"

"Send the order and start attacking the city!"

"Siege the city!"

With Azar, the first general of Uighur, and a group of generals of the Western Regions Allied Forces, they loudly spread the order for Peluo to attack the city until all the Western Regions Allied Forces officers heard it clearly.

The offensive and defensive battle of Yanqi City, which lasted for more than two months, finally entered the final decisive battle on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Daxin Lingwu.

From the very beginning, the battle entered a fierce and fierce state.

The more than 50,000 Western Region barbarian troops outside Yanqi City first used the remaining long-range siege equipment in the general formation and smashed them towards the top of Yanqi City.

In an instant, countless fireballs poured with fierce fire oil, giant arrows as thick as halberd shafts, stones as big as an adult's arms, etc., jumped on the broken Yanqi city wall in various ways.

This ancient city, which had stood on the Gobi Desert of the Western Regions for hundreds of years, was like an old man in his twilight years, crumbling in the raging wind of the yellow sand under the brutal and crazy attacks of the barbarian armies of the Western Regions.

On top of the city tower, the garrison commander Tan Li had tears in his eyes and a sense of sadness in his heart.

The barbarian troops from the Western Regions outside the city, under the cover of long-range weapons, swarmed toward the Yanqi city wall like locusts passing through the city, and climbed up with the help of siege ladders.

boom!

Boom!

There was a deafening rumbling sound in my ears. It was the sound of the barbarian army from the Western Regions using their siege rams to desperately hit the Yanqi City Gate.

"General Tan——"

"we are coming!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the city wall.

Looking for the reputation, people in the city dressed in coarse linen and linen clothes, carrying roof beams, hoes, and even cooking spoons and kitchen knives on their shoulders, all swarmed up the Yanqi city wall.

The leading people shouted: "General Tan, we, the people of Yanqi City, have ripped off all the beams and door panels of our houses to help General Tan and the Anxi frontier army defend the city!"

"Folks, let's fight against the stupid barbarians from the Western Regions!"

"Fight!"

For a moment, the roars of the people in the city echoed everywhere on the Yanqi city wall.

These people who dared to board the city at this time and live and die with the frontier soldiers guarding the city were cowards and cowards who only wanted to die standing instead of living on their knees.

Although, they are not like well-trained border soldiers who can calmly and calmly deal with enemies that are several times larger.

However, with the addition of this new force, it seemed like a shot in the arm was injected into the frontier soldiers guarding the city, stimulating their unyielding fighting spirit.

The logs of the house beams, the door panels, and even the hoes and farm tools were poured into their hearts with anger and hatred, and they were desperately smashed down on the Western Regions barbarian army below the city.

The barbarian troops from the Western Regions who were attacking the city were stunned and suffered heavy casualties.

Hahaha!

Tan Li, standing on top of the city, let out his last wild laugh.

First, he made a loud promise to the Yanqi people who came to the city to help in the battle: "Folks, on behalf of the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Frontier Army, I, Tan Li, would like to express my gratitude to you all!"

"When this battle is over, if I, Tan Li, still have my life left, I will build houses for you myself!"

Then, he shouted sternly at the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Frontier Army who were guarding the city: "Brothers of the Anxi Frontier Army, follow this general. Kill one to earn your base, kill two to earn one!"

"This group of barbaric Huihe people want to massacre the city after killing us, so we have to let them take a good look at Yanqi City's west frontier army!"

"If you want to break the city, break Gouri's front teeth first!"

"Kill!"

The Anxi frontier troops guarding the city became more and more courageous as they fought, and the Uighur soldiers who climbed the city were defeated step by step.

Perhaps it was only now that these barbarian soldiers from the Western Regions who were attacking the city realized that their idea of ​​crossing Yanqi City with their cavalry scimitars and massacring the Han people was too naive.

The resilience of the Han soldiers and civilians in Yanqi City was far beyond their imagination.

Even if the city can be breached in the end, a heavy price must be paid.

"Azar!"

"The general is here!"

At this time, Pei Luo, the powerful Khan of Huairen who had been commanding the front line, saw that Yanqi City, which could be captured with just one charge, actually resisted the strong attack of the Uighur army and defeated the vanguard of the siege. The team was losing ground.

The bone-strength Pei Luo immediately ordered: "I order you to personally lead the Huihe Imperial Guards. In an hour, I will see the flag of the Uihe Khanate flying above the Yanqi City!"

"If you can't do it, come and see me!"

"The general will get the order!"

Azar immediately accepted the order, took over the command of the 8,000 Uighur Imperial Guards, and charged against the retreating Uighur army towards the head of Yanqi City.

The greedy and fierce gaze on the sunken cheeks of Bone Power Perro never moved away from Azar and the eight thousand imperial guards.

It wasn't until the soldiers of the Imperial Guard wearing Uighur battle armor continued to climb up the Yanqi city wall through siege ladders, and got into a melee with the Anxi frontier army guarding the city, and continued to encroach on the Anxi frontier army's formation, that a sinister smile appeared on the corners of their mouths. meaning.

Kick, kick, kick!

Kick, kick, kick!

Suddenly, in Gu Li Pei Luo's ears, he seemed to hear the faint sound of rolling horse hooves.

He turned sideways and looked around, only to find that there was only endless yellow sand on the vast Gobi Desert, blowing in the direction of the wind, but he could not see even the shadow of a horse.

Maybe he was hearing hallucinations!

Similarly, Tan Li, who was waving the ring-headed dagger in his hand at the top of Yanqi City, and after a hard fight, finally killed two Uighur Imperial Guards who had climbed to the top of the city, seemed to hear bursts of dullness in his ears. And the sound of powerful horse hooves.

Looking up, I could only see the yellow sand blowing in the wind on the desolate Gobi Desert, without even a shadow of a horse.

Tan Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that it was already at this time, yet he still had illusions about the arrival of reinforcements, which seemed a bit naive and ridiculous.

At this moment, the long and narrow Yanqi city wall was crowded with Uighur guards who climbed onto the city wall.

The Anxi frontier army and Yanqi people who struggled to resist were ultimately unable to withstand the all-out siege of the barbarians from the Western Regions. They continued to fall under the enemy's scimitars and fell in a pool of blood.

Tan Li stepped back to the city gate upstairs, and finally took out the fire certificate he carried with him.

Behind him, dozens of wooden barrels filled with fire oil were stacked.

Tan Li stood alone on the city gate tower. What he saw before his eyes was the enemy troops like locusts passing through the border, and the Yanqi soldiers and civilians constantly falling in a pool of blood.

He half-squinted his eyes, blew the fire stick in his hand against the wind, and walked firmly towards the barrel filled with strong fire oil.

Kick, kick, kick!

Kick, kick, kick!

At this moment, the faint sound of horse hooves seemed to be heard in the distance again.

Tan Li stopped subconsciously, but with a wry smile on his face, he did not choose to look back.

Until, an earth-shattering howl sounded in my ears, soaring into the sky:

"The Dragon City army is here. The barbarian army in the Western Regions is small. Why don't you dismount your horse and die!"
