Chapter 1090: Turkic infighting
Khan Futu inside and outside the city! Two large Turkic armies are facing each other.
One is the Eastern Turkic cavalry led by Qixin He Li, who rushed to the Khan Futu City, and the other is the Western Turkic cavalry led by Ashina Helu, occupying the walls of the Khan Futu City.
"What a force to do it! You and I are originally of the Turkic lineage, and you actually betrayed the Immortal Heaven, betrayed the grassland, and became the eagle dog of the Tang Dynasty, which is simply an insult to the ancestors of the grassland. On the Khan Futu City, Ashina Helu scolded angrily.
Qixin He Li looked at Ashina Helu coldly and said unmoved: "We are indeed all Turkic blood, but are there still few Turkic tribes that have been exterminated by General Helu?" The various departments of the grassland have always been the weak and the strong, why should General Helu be pretending to be benevolent and righteous, if there was no Tang Dynasty, the Qixin tribe would have been wiped out long ago. ”
Once a tribe is weakened, it will attract the covetousness of other tribes, and its end will be extremely miserable, and the phenomenon of large tribes annexing small tribes abounds.
At that time, the Qixin tribe was even more in crisis, so they reluctantly threw themselves into Datang, and with the help of Datang, the Qixin tribe regained its pride in the grassland and continued to grow.
"The battle of the various tribes of the steppe is to make the Turks stronger, but your position today is to stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks as enemies, let the Turkic warriors fight with the same clan, and the blood of my Turkic warriors is shed, as long as you Qixin He Li abandons the secret and surrenders to the light, this general can set up a khan to the valley to vouch for your Qixin tribe to further your status of the Qixin tribe."
Qixin He Li couldn't help but smile, he was in Datang, he could naturally clearly see the changes visible to the naked eye in Datang, it can be said that it is getting stronger day by day, especially when he saw with his own eyes the power of gunpowder to capture Tiandi City, and heard Mo Jiazi's words about Gaochang City being broken with one blow, which made him firm in his determination to stand on the side of Datang.
"I Qixin He Li was born in the Turks, and he will definitely not aim his sword and gun at the Turks, but today it is not a matter of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, but the matter of the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang, and I will give General Helu a piece of advice in the future, don't meddle in the war between the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang, Gaochang is no longer saved, don't let the blood of the Turkic warriors be shed in vain." Qixin He Li shouted.
"Gao Chang is no longer saved!" Ashina Helu couldn't help but be shocked, and he heard a strong sense of confidence from Qixin He Li's mouth.
"As a member of the same Turkic lineage, in the next sentence of advice, how to make a decision is up to General Helu." Qixin He Li glanced at Ashina Helu deeply, and with a wave of his hand, the Tang army retreated fifty miles back and camped, and monitored the Western Turkic army in Khan Futu City nearby.
Watching the Tang army led by Qixin He Li slowly retreat, Ashina Helu couldn't help but have a cold look in his eyes, he had already led the Khan Futu City, and he had already stated the position of the Western Turks, how could he say that if he didn't interfere, he wouldn't interfere, and if he didn't move forward in fear of the enemy, he wouldn't be able to make a difference with the Khan in the Desire Valley.
"General, Qixin He Li has turned his back on the Turks, should we take the opportunity to clean up this traitor." A Turkic general came to Ashina Helu's side and said fiercely.
Ashina Helu shook his head and said: "Back then, Qixin was just a small tribe, so naturally it would not be in the eyes of this general, but he backed the Tang Dynasty and got the armor and weapons of the Tang Dynasty, and his strength should not be underestimated, and I am afraid that our army will not be able to gain benefits from attacking, and if we annoy the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will be angry and turn around and attack us first, even the Tiandi City will not be able to stop the Tang Army, and the Khan Futu City may also be more auspicious." ”
He saw with his own eyes that Qixin He Li's cavalry was all in full armor, which was only the treatment that only the Khan's personal guards had in the valley, and most of the troops he led were leather armor, if they really fought, I am afraid they would not be able to take advantage at all, just as Qixin He Li was unwilling to take the initiative to attack Khan Futu City, Ashina Helu naturally did not want to provoke the Tang army that was five times more than his own.
The Turkic generals couldn't help nodding silently, the soldiers of the Western Turks were only 20,000, but the Tang army was as many as 100,000, if they annoyed the Tang army, they might not be able to stop the Tang army.
"Are we just here to sit back and watch Gaochang fall?" The Turkic general frowned.
Ashina Helu said solemnly: "The key to this battle is not in Gaochang, nor in you and me, but the determination of the Tang Dynasty and the Khan, now the Tang Dynasty has raised an army of 100,000 and is bound to destroy Gaochang, now it depends on whether the Khan is willing to raise 100,000 Turkic warriors to keep Gaochang." ”
"One hundred thousand Turkic warriors? Now it's spring is the season for cattle and sheep breeding, where can there be so many manpower. The Turkic general frowned.
Cattle and sheep breeding in spring on the grassland, let the cattle and sheep conceive in time, so that they can be born in the summer, thrive in the autumn, and have the ability to survive the cold winter.
Ashina Helu said: "This may be the reason why the Tang army sent troops in advance, just hitting the soft underbelly of the Turks, the general has sent a letter to the khan overnight, asking for reinforcements, whether to save Gaochang or not, it depends on how the khan decides." ”
Now that he has Qixin He Li to monitor him, he has a good reason not to send troops, and if he wants to defeat the 100,000 Tang army, I am afraid that only the Western Turks can be sure of raising a large army.
"I hope that Gaochang City can hold out until the arrival of the Khan's army." Ashina Helu looked at Gaochang City from afar and said helplessly.
Under the city of Gaochang!
The Tang army was surrounded by banners, and everyone knew that the most important battle against Gaochang was coming.
And at this moment, Xin Fang'er, who had just won the battle, knelt in the big tent of the Chinese army with a ashamed face, and Hou Junji, who was on the main seat, couldn't help but be angry when he saw the battle damage of the forward: "If it weren't for your greed for merit, how could the soldiers have died 1,000 dead and 2,000 wounded, and there would have been no such big casualties in the army's attack on Tiandi City!" ”
This time, the army went to Gaochang City, mainly to persuade surrender, and it was naturally best not to have dead and wounded soldiers, but Xin Fang'er was greedy for merit, so that Gaochang seized the fighter plane, bit the advance of the army, and made the army unable to rescue, otherwise the Tang army would not have such a large casualty, nor would Gaochang retreat into the city so easily.
"The last general is ashamed!" Xin Fang'er lowered his head and said, although he won this battle, but he lost thirty percent of the soldiers, which is irrefutable.
"Nian is that you have won this battle, and you have killed 3,000 Gaochang soldiers, and your merits and demerits are offset, and if you dare to make a mistake, you will not be spared." Hou Junji was angry on the surface, but in fact, he said lightly.
The generals frowned, naturally knowing that Hou Junji was defending Xin Fang'er, and they were all dissatisfied, but now is a critical juncture, and everyone is not good at making extraneous branches.
"Thank you, General, for your kindness!" Xin Fang'er hurriedly thanked, he couldn't help but feel resentful after escaping the catastrophe, he naturally didn't dare to resent Hou Junji, but concentrated his resentment on Koji Zhisheng's body, according to his expectations, the Tang army came to attack, Koji Zhisheng would definitely be scared to defend the city gate, but who would have thought that Koji Zhisheng was also a little brave, and he took the initiative to attack, which caused a lot of casualties to the Tang army, although he tried his best to repel the Gaochang army, he also suffered a lot of losses, and made a disgrace.
After Hou Junji dealt with Xin Fang'er's matter, he waved his hand and said: "Now that our army has surrounded Gaochang City, it is better to discuss how to attack Gaochang City." ”
