Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

The current clues and the development of the situation are really moving in the worst direction.

For the rest, we have to wait for the return of A Ke and Jing Wuming, master and apprentice.

At this time, Fan Xing no longer built his meaningless city defenses, but, together with Li Qiu, joined the devil training process for these more than 4 soldiers.

Although Fan Xing does not know martial arts, he is most familiar with the characteristics of the Turkic army fighting.

Know how to dodge and deal with their crossbows, how to face their raids, cavalry and shooting, and where the weaknesses of Turkic soldiers are.

With Fan Xing's joining and guidance, especially for those recruits, it is of great significance.

On the other side, Datang, Xiazhou.

The Turkic army divided into three groups and roared towards Xiazhou City.

Looking at the Turkic army coming over like a tsunami, Xiazhou Inspector Han Yong's eyes were firm, and he said to the people behind him in a deep voice:

"Report to the imperial court. After several days of investigation, the number of Turkic troops is 35."

"All the soldiers and common people of my Xiazhou City, swear to live and die with Xiazhou City."

"No one will retreat, never take a step back."

One day later, the Turkic army surrounded the entire city of Xiazhou.

And with the order of the lost mind, the Turkic army attacked the city at the same time from all sides.

After seeing the behavior of the Turkic army, Han Yong, governor of Xiazhou, and the generals of the defending army all looked extremely ugly.

This phenomenon has never happened before.

Chapter 374 Xiazhou, the city is broken

With the [-] troops in their city, if the people are added, even facing the strong bows and crossbows of the Turks is quite a disadvantage.

But no matter how you can stick to it for more than six or seven days.

But if it is the current situation, the Turkic attack on all sides at the same time, they may not be able to defend for long.

On the city tower, looking at the Turkic army below who were screaming and howling to attack the city, Xiazhou governor Han Yong frowned.

"Is this group of Turkic people taking some kind of medicine?"

"How could such a crazy siege?!"

"The order continues, all the soldiers and people in my Xiazhou City are doomed to die."

"It's better to kill a few more Turkic people before dying, in order to repay my heroic soul of the Tang Dynasty!"

Han Yong on the city wall and the soldiers guarding the city did not know that in today's Turkic army, every tribal leader and general is red-eyed, beating the soldiers underground as if desperately.

Let them rush up and attack the city.

Anyone who retreats, shoot them on the spot!

Anyway, the group of soldiers under him now are all other people's clansmen.

If you are more aggressive on your side and take down the city earlier, you will be able to keep more of your clansmen.

But if everyone in the team thinks this way, it will cause the current situation of fighting chicken blood.

In order to avoid causing too many unnecessary casualties, Tuli, Zhisili and others also ordered many times to slow down the attacking rhythm.

But all have no effect.

In Tuli's big camp, his son Ashina Heluofu frowned and asked, "Father Khan, if we attack the city like this, I'm afraid that many more people will be killed and injured every day."

At this moment, Tuli told him with a smile, "Helloful, what you see is only the surface."

"If the strong and tall Jingzhou City is facing their veteran Tang generals and many rolling logs and rocks, we will definitely suffer a lot from attacking the city like this."

"But like this Xiazhou city, there are only [-] defenders inside, and the city defense is far inferior to Jingzhou."

"If the attack continues like this, although it seems that many people will die every day, within three days, Xiazhou City will be destroyed."

"If you count the total number, we have lost fewer soldiers than before."

"Furthermore, we have 40 troops attacking this time."

"Compared to Tang Jun, we already have an advantage."

"It doesn't matter if more people die, as long as we can advance to Jingzhou and attack Chang'an City sooner, the closer we will be to the final victory!"

Listening to Turkic Khan's words, He Luohu, who was only 15 years old, hesitated for a moment, and still said what was in his heart.

"Father Khan, since you appointed the Yi Shiyi man of Xue Yantuo's tribe as the successor leader, his prestige has increased a lot."

"I heard that many tribal leaders are secretly approaching him."

"Even the marshal who lost his mind and the great general Qibi Heli have close contacts with him..."

Listening to his son's words, Tuli smiled contemptuously, "Yi Shiyi male?"

"Hmph, what's the point of such a small person?"

"Helloful, you have to know that Father Khan did this to win over the hearts of those tribal leaders."

"Let them risk their lives and their wealth to help us bring down this country."

"And when Datang is defeated, all their tribes will die!"

"This world belongs to our family!"

"When the time comes, I will not only want you to be Khan's son, but I will also make you the prince of the whole world!"

"Based on Xieli's lessons learned, I have handed over the command of the soldiers going south this time to Zhishisili, Qibi Heli and others."

"We have been in the tent of the Chinese army wrapped by the army. As for the so-called accident, how could it happen?"

"So, He Luoful, don't worry about these things. The most important thing is to grow up as soon as possible and make yourself stronger."

……

On the other side, A Ke and Jing Wuming, who had been deep into the hinterland of the grassland for several days, finally got out of the trap.

And successfully caught two members of the Xueyantuo clan who wanted to sneak back to their hometown.

Under severe torture, A Ke also got news from them.

The tribes that were originally on the edge of the grassland have all withdrawn to the hinterland.

This time the Turks went south, and even the elderly and children over the age of 14 were flooded into the army.

Even the matter of Tuli's rotation of soldiers from various tribes was also inquired about.

At this time, Jing Wuming tied the extremely important military message to the carrier pigeon's leg, and put the carrier pigeon back on his body.

After that, Ake and Jing Wuming beheaded the two Turkic men, mounted their horses and went further into the hinterland of the grassland.

In Xiazhou City, under the desperate resistance of Xiazhou Governor Han Yong, all the soldiers and people in Xiazhou City left more than 1 Turkic corpses.

But in the end they were still defeated by the onslaught of the Turkic people. Xiazhou City was broken in less than three days.

Tuli, Zhisili and others immediately ordered the massacre of the city.

The scene of devoid of humanity and conscience, like purgatory on earth, was once again staged in Xiazhou City.

During the massacre of the city, the Turkic General Qibi Heli, while crazily insulting a woman, laughed wildly and said to his subordinates:

"Didn't we bring a lot of child soldiers this time?"

"Let them eat meat too, be the first time men, and eat the first delicious two-legged sheep!"

"Remember to bring those women first for them to enjoy!"

Under his signal, the group of teenage Turkic soldiers, whose hands were stained with blood after the massacre, boldly rushed towards the wailing and cursing Han women with scarlet eyes.

The teenage biological daughter of Han Yong, governor of Xiazhou, regrettably did not die early, but fell into the hands of these inhuman Turks.

At this time, what she was facing was Yarjimi, the Turkic child soldier who performed the most prominently, murdered the most, and was the cruelest in the two wars.

Seeing this young, beautiful and noble girl in front of her, Yarjimi yelled and rushed forward.

Regardless of the girl's incomparably painful wailing, she crazily vented her animal desire.

But after a long while, he actually pulled out his waist knife and directly killed the daughter of the governor of Xiazhou under him.

Then, feeling the temperature of the blood, he laughed wildly, "I want to turn her into a two-legged sheep and eat her up in my stomach."

"I want her to be mine forever..."

During this night, countless teenage Turkic boys like him turned into cruel beasts like demons.

Moreover, after such a change, these Turkic teenagers are far less human and cruel than those adults.

……

The Turkic army besieged by 35 people, and Xiazhou City fell in less than three days, and the military news once again spread to various places.

This military newspaper, like a mountain, weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Chapter 375 Li Qiu and Yunzhong have done a great job

In Jingzhou City, facing the military situation that Xiazhou City fell in three days, Li Jing and everyone frowned.

The atmosphere in the arena was also extremely suppressed.

The previously reported Turkic army of 30 is likely to become 25 when they arrive in Jingzhou City after the Battle of Zhangliang Ferry and successive attrition.

This is already the limit that Jingzhou City can resist.

But at present, the exact number of Turkic troops besieging Xiazhou City is at least 35, so the number of Turkic troops when they crossed the river is likely to be close to 40.

It is simply unimaginable.

"Pass down the order to mobilize soldiers from Yuanzhou, Fenzhou, Ningzhou, Longzhou, Qizhou and other prefectures, as well as Xiangyong, to enter Jingzhou City."

"At the same time, send an urgent report to the imperial court, and quickly mobilize a large amount of food, grass, and supplies."

"We must defend Jingzhou City!"

"Once Jingzhou City is lost, Chang'an City will be safe!"

In Chang'an, in the Chengqing Palace, Li Shimin and others also received emergency military reports from Xiazhou City and Li Jing's army one after another.

When they saw the news that the 35 Turkic army besieged the city, all the soldiers and people in Xiazhou City fought to the death, and the city was broken in three days, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tense.

"This Turks and Turks, are they crazy?"

"Nearly 40 troops came, did he send all the people on the grassland?!"

At this time, Fang Xuanling took the urgent military information sent by Li Jing's army and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military message from Jingzhou City."

"We are required to mobilize a large amount of grain and supplies to help Jingzhou."

"This city of Jingzhou has the dangers of Jingshui and mountains. It controls the throat of the two frontiers, the gateway of the border, and the border of Qinliang, and defends Jifu."

"It is also the only dangerous place in front of Chang'an City that can be defended, so we must not lose it!"

Li Shimin nodded at this moment, "Changsun Wuji, you go to coordinate this matter yourself, and you must meet all the requirements of Li Jing's army in Jingzhou City."

"At the same time, pass on my will to further delegate power to Li Jing, and let him do everything possible to stick to Jingzhou!"

After arranging the most important things, a group of them simply spread out an extremely huge map on the ground.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji, Cen Wenwen and others analyzed the current military situation and the next trend.

"Obviously, the number of Turkic subjects this time is the same as last year."

"Attack Xiazhou first, then take Qingzhou, and finally arrive in front of Jingzhou City."

"Their army marched flat and straight, and the luggage took the safest road."

"Leave us no chance of a sneak attack."

"They are still using the same route, relying on their cavalry and crossbow advantages, to face our army head-to-head and fight a war of attrition."

"Especially now, they have more troops than us, and their advantages are even greater."

After Fang Xuanling's analysis, Du Ruhui on the side once again clicked on the location of the battle between Xiazhou and the ferry.

"Xuanling's analysis is not bad, but the two battles that are known so far."
