Chapter 1099: The Mo family must die
Ashina Helu ran wildly all the way, until he was hundreds of miles away from the Khan Futu City, and then he stopped palpitating.
When he got the news of the Tang Dynasty's capture of Gaochang City from the top-secret channel, it was incredible, it was the first Xiongcheng in Gaochang, he saw it with his own eyes, even if he was helpless in the face of such a Xiongcheng, and the Tang army actually broke Gaochang City in just ten days!
"General! I will give up Gaochang and flee like this, and after I go back, will I be punished by Khan! "One of the commanders was worried, and in Turkic tradition, it was a shameful thing for a Turkic warrior to escape, and he would be severely punished, not to mention that they had plundered the cities of their allies.
Ashina Helu snorted coldly: "If we don't escape, even our 20,000 cavalry will be lost, fortunately, after the Tang army captured Gaochang City, it immediately sent troops to Khan Futu City, otherwise even we would be in danger." ”
When he learned that Gaochang had fallen, he almost had a hair, and almost immediately perceived the crisis, and immediately prepared to flee, of course, he did not flee empty-handed when he fled, and directly looted the Khan Futu City.
"This is the reward you promised to General Ben Ju Wentai!" Ashina Helu said secretly in his heart.
"The Tang army is so powerful, it actually captured Gaochang City so quickly?" The commander also frowned, he had always been unconvinced by Datang in his heart, and he didn't believe that Datang would attack Gaochang City so quickly.
"So General Ben has to continue to wait for exact news here, to see how Gaochang City was broken, so that he can give an explanation in front of the Khan." Ashina Helu said solemnly.
Although he withdrew from Khan Futu City in advance, he couldn't know how the Tang army broke the city, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to sleep and eat, and he couldn't explain to Desire Valley.
On the third day, Ashina Helu finally got the exact information, and his face couldn't help but sink.
"Under one blow, Gaochang City collapsed!" Ashina Helu couldn't help but be shocked.
"This can't be? What kind of weapons can break through the walls? The commander didn't believe me.
"Gunpowder, Mo Jiazi!" Ashina Helu said word by word.
The commander couldn't help but be stunned and said: "It's the Mo family who reversed yin and yang when Tuyuhun was eating the sun in the tengu." ”
Mo Jiazi accurately predicted the Tiangu Eclipse Day, and when the Tiangu Eclipse Day was dark, he used gunpowder to illuminate the battlefield, this unpredictable method of ghosts and gods spread in the Western Regions, and it was even rumored that the reason why Tuyuhun was defeated was because of Mo Jiazi's immortal spells.
The Western Regions are even more ignorant and superstitious, and they are extremely reverent in the theory of ghosts and gods, and even believe that in the battle to defeat the Tuyuhun army, Mo Jiazi's immortal spells played a key role.
And this time, Mo Jiazi broke through the Gaochang city wall with one blow, which confirmed the legend of Mo Jiazi.
Ashina Helu couldn't help but gasp and said: "But if the Mo family makes a move, one blow to break the Tuyuhun, the second blow to break the Gaochang, the next time it may be my Turk, this general must report to the Khan, the Mo family must not stay, and the gunpowder must be held in my hands by the Western Turks, otherwise the Western Turks will also be in danger." ”
Immediately, Ashina Helu immediately ordered a retreat, and he himself led his guards on three horses and rushed to the Western Turk king's tent.
The Western Turkic king's tent is a scene of soldiers and horses, with 50,000 cavalry gathered here.
In fact, Ju Wentai was right, the Western Turks really didn't want to sit back and watch Gaochang fall, especially after getting Ashina Helu's request for help, Desire Valley set did not hesitate to draw 50,000 elite cavalry from the hands of the people who were busy in the spring to support Gaochang.
With the 50,000 cavalry set up by Desire, plus the 20,000 cavalry of Ashina Helu, and the strength of Gaochang itself, this time it will definitely make Datang return in vain, but the sudden arrival of Ashina Helu completely disrupted this plan.
"Ashina Helu, this king ordered you to support Gaochang, why didn't you wait for the arrival of this king's army, but fled back privately, it is because you want to disobey this Khan's order." When Wanting Gu She, he couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw Ashina Helu.
Ashina Helu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Qiyu Khan, it's not that Helu disobeyed his orders, but that Gaochang has fallen, and if the last general sees the opportunity early, I'm afraid it will have fallen into the hands of the Tang army." ”
"What, Gaochang has fallen!" Wanting Gu She, he was suddenly shocked, and looked at Ashina Helu incredulously, his side had just gathered a large army, and before he could set off, Gaochang had already fallen.
"Not bad! If it is useless to stay in Gaochang, how can the last general leave without a fight. Ashina Helu said helplessly.
"How is this possible? Gaochang City is the first Xiongcheng in the Western Regions, and if the Tang army wants to attack Gaochang City, at least tens of thousands of casualties must not be killed, and the Tang army will not be able to withstand so much attrition if it goes to fight thousands of miles. Suddenly, a voice questioned.
"Who is this?" Ashina Helu looked for prestige, only to see a strange person standing in the military tent, Ashina Helu was a close confidant of Desire Valley, a Turkic leader who knew everyone, but he had never seen this person.
"This is a special envoy of Tubo, who specially came to the Turks to discuss the matter of Lian Heng to resist the Tang Dynasty." Desire Tani explained.
"Lian Heng against Datang."
Ashina Helu's eyes lit up when he heard this, the current Tang Dynasty is so powerful that people are afraid, if the Western Turks and Tubo unite, they may definitely be able to contain the Tang Dynasty.
"Yes, now the surrounding countries have been dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and I, Tubo, have united the Tuyuhun tribes to kill the Tang puppet Fushun, and will regain the glory of Tuyuhun, and according to the agreement between Tubo and the Turks, it should be the Turks who support Gaochang and must lose the 100,000 elites of the Tang Dynasty in Gaochang, but this battle has just begun, and the Tang Dynasty has already captured Gaochang City? It's too child's play! The Tibetan envoy was dissatisfied.
Desire Gu She's face couldn't help but darken, and he glared at Ashina Helu dissatisfied.
Ashina Helu smiled bitterly: "The envoy misunderstood, the fall of Gaochang City has nothing to do with Gaochang or the Turks. ”
"At that time, because of whom, it was God who helped him, and a thunderbolt trampled on Gaochang City, so that the Tang Army was so fast about those Gaochang." The Tibetan envoy sneered.
"It's not Lei, it's Mo Jiazi!" Ashina Helu said dejectedly.
"Who is it?"
"Mo Jiazi!"
Desire Gu She and the Tibetan envoy said in unison.
After Ashina Helu told the information about the fall of Gaochang heavily, the entire Turkic king's tent fell silent.
"One blow to break the city, what a terrifying weapon Datang controls." Desire Valley was terrified.
"Gunpowder, it must be the firearms supervisor in charge of Mo Jiazi, this envoy has been urging the Khan to send troops, just because he got the news that Mo Jiazi led the firearms supervisor to go on the expedition, but he didn't expect it to be a step too late." The Tibetan envoy sighed.
"Mo Jiazi, this person is the culprit who caused Fu Yun's 200,000 army, but I didn't expect that he was also the culprit in the fall of Gaochang." Desire Valley said in shock.
The envoy of Tubo said: "It's not a secret, the original Lord Xiangguo was not willing to start the war lightly and offend the Tang Dynasty, it was precisely after getting the news of the Mo family's expedition that he decided to take a risk, to completely leave the Mo family in Gaochang, the Mo family must die, otherwise the Tubo and the Turks will be in danger." ”
