"King Qiqi, the Tang army has moved and is marching towards Gaochang City." In the palace of Gaochang, the envoy of Gaochang said with a panicked face.

The actions of the Tang army naturally could not be concealed from Gaochang's scouts, and soon, the news of the departure of the Tang army had reached the ears of Koji Zhisheng.

"Datang is really bold, Gaochang and the Turks jointly sent troops, and Datang still retreated without knowing the difficulties." Koji Zhisheng said angrily, obviously the Western Turks had intervened, but the Tang army did not have the slightest taboo, and even continued to send troops, which made his intentions all frustrated.

Gaochang's hundred officials couldn't help but show horror on their faces, although the strength of the Tang Army and Gaochang was almost the same now, but they were facing the Tang Dynasty, which destroyed the country one after another, and it was inevitable that they were a little apprehensive.

Soon, more and more news came, and the Tang army divided into two routes, one cavalry went to Khan Futu City to intercept the Western Turkic cavalry, while most of the men and horses went straight to Gaochang City.

"Datang is really arrogant, he actually wants to fight against Gaochang and the Western Turks at the same time, and he really wants to kill them all?" Koji Zhisheng said hatefully.

The envoy of Gaochang shouted bitterly: "The king should think twice! This is Gaochang's last chance, once missed, the king may be in danger! ”

Now that the Tang army has not yet arrived in Gaochang City, if Gaochang surrenders at this moment, there may still be a glimmer of life, if the Tang army really captures Gaochang City, then Gaochang will not have a chance, and can only be disposed of by the Tang Dynasty.

Koji Zhisheng couldn't help but be angry, he had just succeeded to the throne of Gaochang for three days, and he hadn't had time to enjoy the taste of power, so he had to give it up, which made Koji Zhisheng unable to accept it anyway.

Suddenly, Ko Zhisheng's eyes froze, and when he saw the location of the Tang Army's forward on the map, he measured the direction of most of the Tang Army's men and horses, and was suddenly overjoyed.

"Hahaha, in the eyes of this king, the Tang army is not invincible, and there are times when it makes mistakes! It's really heaven helping Gaochang. Koji Zhisheng looked up to the sky and laughed.

"My Majesty, have you found anything?" Hundreds of officials asked one after another.

Ko Zhisheng pointed to the location of the Tang Army's striker on the map and said: "It's really a God-given fighter, the Tang Army's striker is greedy for merit, and he actually approached my Gaochang City alone." ”

"Ahh When the officials of Gaochang took a look, they found that the forward of the Tang army was quite far away from most of the Tang army, and they had already broken through the range of Gaochang City.

"What does the king mean?" A hundred officials said thoughtfully.

Koji Zhisheng said proudly: "If the Tang army of 100,000 comes, this king will naturally defend the city, but the Tang army has less than 10,000 forwards, if you can take the initiative to attack and eat the Tang army forward, it can not only weaken the strength of the Tang army, but also raise my Gaochang morale." ”

"Take the initiative?" Gaochang Baiguan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and there was a reluctance in his heart, if there was a strong city to guard, their confidence would be sufficient, if they went out of the city to fight the Tang army, Gaochang Baiguan had no confidence in their hearts.

"Why, the Tang Army's forward is only 10,000 people, if Gaochang can't even defeat this little force, how can we resist Datang, just you and I can go to Datang with our own hands as prisoners." Koji Zhisheng roared angrily.

"Go to Datang as a prisoner!"

Gaochang's officials were silent for a moment, once Gaochang surrendered, the first to bear the brunt was Koji Zhisheng, but they would definitely lose their current power and wealth.

"Okay, let's fight with Datang!" Baiguan made up his mind, as Lu Zhisheng said, if Gaochang can't even defeat the 10,000 forwards of the Tang Dynasty, then how can he resist the 100,000 Tang army.

Soon, the gate of Gaochang City, which had been filled, was reopened, and the morale of the 20,000 Gaochang army was high to meet the Tang Army's forward Xin Fang'er Division.

Soon the two sides met not far from Gaochang City, and a big war was about to break out.

At the same time, the Tang army also discovered Xin Fang'er's abnormality, and Xin Fang'er, the striker, was greedy for merit and directly out of the scope of the army's support.

"Xin Fang'er was so bold and reckless, he was greedy for merit and put 10,000 soldiers in danger." Xue Wanjun said worriedly.

"However, now that the forward troops led by Xin Fang'er have been separated from the army for a hundred miles, once something happens, I am afraid that we will not have time to rescue at all." Niu Jinda also frowned.

However, Hou Junji's eyes flashed, and he said to defend Xin Fang'er: "As a forward, Xin Fang'er is responsible for exploring the way for the Tang army, the distance of a hundred miles is not too far, and Xin Fang'er's troops are all cavalry, if you encounter an invincible army, you can naturally easily retreat." Moreover, General Ben deliberately let Xin Fang'er lead 10,000 cavalry first, it was to lure Gao Chang to send troops, and only by letting Lu Zhisheng see the gap between the Tang Army and Gao Chang Army, Gao Chang would really give up. ”

The generals couldn't help frowning, Xin Fang'er's 10,000 soldiers and horses are indeed a powerful military force, but Gaochang, as the first power in the Western Regions, should not be underestimated, even if the Tang army fights decisively, I am afraid there will be a lot of losses.

The generals couldn't help but be secretly anxious, and while ordering the army to speed up the march, they also sent scouts one after another to inquire about the news.

Soon, the news that Gaochang sent 20,000 troops came! The generals couldn't help but worry for a while.

This time, even Hou Junji couldn't sit still, and sent 10,000 cavalry to respond, but before the 10,000 cavalry Tang army had gone far, the news of Xin Fang'er's defeat of the Gaochang army had already spread.

"Kill three thousand Gaochang soldiers, and Koji Zhisheng will retreat to Gaochang City in embarrassment!"

The scout's report, Hou Junji immediately laughed, Xin Fang'er was his cronies, and the vanguard led by Xin Fang'er defeated the Gao Chang army, which also gave him a luster on his face.

The other generals frowned, Xin Fang'er fought 10,000 against 20,000, although he won the battle, I am afraid that he also lost a lot, but the army won or lost on the basis of victory or defeat, Xin Fang'er won this battle, and other problems were naturally covered up.

"The whole army accelerates, and our army will set up camp under Gaochang City tonight!" Hou Junji said proudly.

In Gaochang City, Koji Zhisheng, who retreated to Gaochang City, was ashamed, he was complacent, and he drove out to attack, and even attacked the Tang Army's forward with twice the force, obviously the strength and morale had the upper hand, and the result was in the hands of the Tang Army, and he had to throw away his armor and withdraw to Gaochang City.

The hundred officials suddenly fell silent, they didn't expect that the Gaochang soldiers were so completely defeated, Gaochang is known as the first power in the Western Regions, and on weekdays, it is only a few small countries in the Western Regions to compete with each other, where can they compete with the Tang army that has experienced a hundred battles, under the first battle, Gaochang was undoubtedly defeated, but fortunately, he fled back in embarrassment.

"Are the gates sealed? Be careful of the gunpowder of the Don Army. Koji Zhisheng said in fear.

"Rest assured, the king's gates have been sealed again." A guard hurriedly said.

With the protection of Gaochang City, Koji Zhisheng was slightly relieved, the strength of the Gaochang defenders was a little false, but Gaochang City was a well-deserved fortified city, but when Ju Wentai went to Chang'an City, he came back and was greatly touched, and personally imitated the city built by Chang'an City, which won the title of the first Xiongcheng in the Western Regions.

"How can this be? This time I completely offended Datang! The envoy of Gaochang was heartbroken, he tried to persuade Koji Zhisheng not to be impulsive, but now Gaochang and Datang have fought each other, and the two sides have killed and injured each other, and this Liangzi is over.

Koji Zhisheng also regretted not being at the beginning, he knew that he would defend the fortified city, and he really couldn't do anything, so he decided to surrender or resist.

"Now we can only count on the Western Turks!" Koji Zhisheng looked to the north, which was the direction of Khan Futu City.
