The Turkic Yehu Ashina Yi Bezhen Mo led the men and horses of the headquarters plus the Qibi department, a total of more than 26,000 horsemen arrived in the north of Lingzhou City. Before Ashina Yi Bezhen Mo led his troops to attack, he found that there were bursts of earth-shattering cheers from Lingzhou City.

Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of scum who surrendered to Yihu. Although Ashina Yi Bezhen Mo does not understand Chinese, there are people around him who are proficient in Chinese. Through the translation of the tongue man, Ashina Yi Bezhen Mo finally knew the origin of the cheers in Lingzhou City.

"It turns out that the Tang Army reinforcements have entered the city!"

Ashina Yi really didn't look at Lingzhou, he could only look up to the sky and sigh. He did not rush to attack, he knew that at this time, the morale of the Tang army was like a rainbow, and the attack would only give the Tang army a head, and it would not be beneficial to the battle situation.

"After exiting five hundred steps, dismount and rest!"

In normal times, the cavalry rode a hundred miles, almost as easily as drinking water and eating. However, in such cold weather, the snow is very thick, and the war horse is not only unable to walk fast, but also easy to slip. Arriving in Lingzhou from Huaiyuan, even Ashina Yi Bezhen Mo's people were exhausted.

Combat effectiveness has also been greatly reduced.

Guo Zihe, the governor of Lingzhou, was attacked by a large Turkic army, and he was so worried that he ripped off a lot of his beard. If it weren't for the people of the city, he would have wanted to find a rope and hang himself.

Just when the Turks were getting closer and closer, suddenly there was an uproar in the south of the city, Guo Zihe thought that there had been a mutiny in the city, and hurried to the south of the city. ”

The dozens of horsemen at the head were surrounded by a black-armored and red-helmet general, who was it if it wasn't Chen Ying?

"Yang Changshi, our savior is here, and the right guard has led Chief Chen to save us!" Guo Zihe was so excited that he burst into tears, and his voice was deformed.

Chen Ying's equestrian skills are not high, but Yu Guni insisted on picking out a mare that was very easy to understand human nature for Chen Ying from the Thin Bone Law City, and steadily carried Chen Ying into Lingzhou City.

Chen Ying watched Guo Zihe rush towards him, but he didn't pose in front of Guo Zihe, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

"Manager Guo, hard work!"

"The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the King, I dare not say anything hard!" Guo Zihe looked behind Chen Ying, saw that Chen Ying only brought two thousand men and horses, and said suspiciously: "There are reinforcements behind?" ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "This time, Chen Mou led the right guard to lead the sixteen regiments of the four mansions to build soldiers, and left two regiments in Bogulu City, and only more than 3,400 people from the twelve regiments came at this time. ”

If it weren't for Chen Ying passing by Hongshan Fort and bringing the two regiments under Duan Zhigan's command, I'm afraid Chen Ying wouldn't even be able to get together two thousand people. However, the Tang army guarding the city of Bogulu is extremely dangerous, if there are more than 7,000 Turkic troops and more than 6,000 herdsmen in the city. Once the Turks repeatedly, the Tang army could not suppress them at all.

"Twelve regiments?" Guo Zihe looked disappointed.

The Lingzhou Governor's Mansion has four Zhechong Prefectures under its jurisdiction, but it is a lower prefecture, with only more than 3,200 people from the Sixteen Regiments of the Four Prefectures. Coupled with the people who have gone to the city to fight in Lingzhou City, they have nearly 10,000 horses, but this only 10,000 horses can barely hold Lingzhou City. Chen Ying only has two or three thousand people, how long can he keep it?

Suddenly, Guo Zihe spurted out a mouthful of blood, splashing Chen Ying's body.

Chen Ying was shocked, only to find that Guo Zihe's chest injury was very serious, and Bai Sensen's bone stubble was exposed. Chen Ying hurriedly turned his head: "Chen Huairen, come over and save people!" ”

Chen Huairen hurriedly took off Guo Zihe's armor, Guo Zihe struggled and said intermittently: "Manager Chen...... Spirit...... Lingzhou pleases you...... Finish. ”

Before he finished speaking, Guo Zihe was already unconscious.

In fact, Guo Zihe has been gritting his teeth and insisting on it these days, but when he saw Chen Ying coming, the breath he was holding in his heart was relaxed, and he couldn't hold on anymore.

Chen Ying looked at Guo Zihe, who was carried away, and looked at Yang Zedao: "This is in charge of the defense of Lingzhou City, does Yang Changshi have any objections?" ”

Lingzhou Governor Shi Yang said respectfully: "Manager Chen, Lingzhou up and down, fully cooperate with the governor to defend the city, what does Manager Chen command, Yang Ze also obeys." ”

"Yang Changshi is polite!" Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief, if Yang Ze didn't let go, he would come hard, and he wouldn't let the right guard rate risk the annihilation of the whole army.

There are many taboos for soldiers to go out, and the host and guest armies can live in harmony, and he has confidence in defending the city. Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Yang Changshi, how much surplus grain is there in the city now?" How many people are there in the city? How many days can it last? ”

He knew that Lingzhou had been trapped for nearly three months, and there were a lot of refugees pouring into the city, so when he came into the city, he saw that the defenders and the people had vegetables on their faces, so he was worried that there was not enough food in the city.

Yang Zedao: "There is no shortage of grain in the city, there are more than 70,000 stone grain in the official warehouse alone, and there is grain in the big families and rich protectors in the city, but it is just ......."

"Just what?"

"It's just that this firewood is seriously insufficient!" Yang Ze sighed helplessly and said: "Originally, there was still a lot of fuel in the city, but the Turks besieged the city, and we couldn't get out of the city at all, in order to make a fire for heating, we almost ran out of fuel in the city!" ”

"When the chief came here, he brought more than a thousand climbing plows!" Chen Ying waved his hand and said: "There is no firewood, so I dismantle the climbing plow and burn it as firewood!" ”

"What" As soon as they heard this, the generals of the right guard had different expressions.

Even Yang Ze was very sorry: "Such a divine object, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money!" ”

Chen Ying said: "Shouling State is more important than anything else! ”

Chen Ying naturally knows the value of climbing the plow, but no matter how valuable the snow climbing plow is, it is not as valuable as human life. In any case, in such cold weather conditions, people simply can't hold on if they don't make a fire to keep warm.

Fortunately, Chen Ying rushed into Lingzhou before Yi Beizhenmo led the army to Lingzhou. Seeing that Chen Ying led his troops to Lingzhou City, Guo Zihe, the governor of Lingzhou, was injured and threw the mess of Lingzhou to Chen Ying.

At this time, the situation is extremely bad, except for the geographical advantage, everything else is very bad. The front of Lingzhou City is not big, the city wall is only more than 1,600 steps, even if the Turks have a million heroes, they cannot be spread outside Lingzhou City.

However, what worries Chen Ying is that the number of wounded soldiers and civilians in Lingzhou City is as high as more than 5,000, and now the whole city can't even draw out 1,000 young people. Fortunately, the weather was cold at this time, otherwise in the era when there were no antibiotics, it is estimated that more than half of the light and serious injuries would have died due to inflammation.

Chen Huairen led a newly recruited medical team to treat the wounded. What made Chen Ying very strange was that Lingzhou City desperately resisted the attack of the Turks, and there were a lot of wounded, but there were not too many serious wounded, and most of the injuries were caused by the Turks' bows and arrows.

This puncture wound, which looked bloody and very frightening to death, was in fact not difficult to heal. With the current medical conditions, most people can save their lives.

Chen Ying pressed the saber in his hand and climbed the gate tower of Lingzhou West City. From his harsh point of view, the defense ability of the city walls and gate towers of Lingzhou City is not particularly strong, if the Turks are good at attacking cities, regardless of casualties, they can bear thousands of casualties at most, it is enough to take Lingzhou City.

However, it was more than enough to deal with the Turkic cavalry, which had weaker siege capabilities. Maybe the Turks will come to attack the city, Chen Ying thought to himself.

What pleased Chen Ying the most was that the weather was getting colder and colder, especially when the north wind blew, and the temperature dropped even more. Even if Chen Ying was wearing a down jacket, he still didn't feel much warmth.

Chen Ying thought to himself: "I have these, even if the Turkic nobles have mink fur and stoves for warmth, but those ordinary Turkic soldiers are not treated so well, they will definitely not be able to hold out for long in the wild." ”
