Qinhou Mansion.

When Qin Tian came back from Qinjia Village, it was already dusk.

The insects chirped in the corner, and Qin Tian saw that the lights were still on in the ninth princess's house.

He pushed the door and walked in, and the ninth princess walked around a little anxiously inside, with a little remorse on her face.

"Her Royal Highness the princess hasn't rested yet?" Qin Tian's words were full of tiredness, he was really tired today.

When the ninth princess saw Qin Tian, she suddenly threw herself into his arms.

"Am I making the wrong choice?"

Obviously, the ninth princess already knew that it was because of Luo Yi's release of water that the Turkic soldiers and horses directly came to Jingzhou.

Qin Tian hugged the Ninth Princess tightly and said, "What does this have to do with you?" When Luo Yi took Luo Tong away, he already had an antipathy, but it just happened that at this time, he was given a chance, don't worry, even if the Turks attack, they can't help the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Really?" The Ninth Princess raised her head, and Qin Tian nodded: "Of course it's true, you and I have the ability to turn the tide." ”

The ninth princess suddenly smiled, and that smile was as beautiful as a spring breeze.

Wei Chigong led 10,000 soldiers and horses to Jingzhou City.

Jingzhou City is only five or six days away from Chang'an, and Wei Chigong's soldiers and horses have just arrived in Jingzhou City, and the Turkic army of 100,000 has already arrived one after another.

After the arrival of the soldiers and horses, they did not rush to attack the city, but first set up camp, rested for one night, and waited for tomorrow morning to attack the city.

When Wei Chigong learned that the Turkic soldiers and horses had arrived, he did not dare to hesitate more, and hurriedly arranged the defense of Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is close to Chang'an, the city is still very strong, in Wei Chigong's view, 15,000 soldiers and horses, can defend the Turkic soldiers and horses for more than 20 days.

After all, they don't have to worry about the problem of food and grass, as long as they stick to it.

In the past twenty days, the vassal kings of the Tang Dynasty are almost there, right?

Of course, Wei Chigong also knows that today's Li Shimin does not have the hearts of all vassal kings, and whether those vassal kings have any objections or not, it will definitely not be easy for them to come to King Qin.

But Wei Chigong's heart is still full of hope.

Dusk came, and the defense of Jingzhou City had almost been done, and Wei Chigong came to inspect it, and he checked every place.

After so many years of fighting, he has slowly learned to be calm and pay attention to every detail from the original reckless man.

"Not bad!"

After reading it, he just nodded and said these two words.

The afterglow of the sunset, the beauty is surprising, shining on the city wall of Jingzhou City, making his whole person feel as if he is in a painting.

Wei Chigong stood on the city tower and watched the sunset for a long time, because he knew that from tomorrow, he might not be in the mood and would not have time to enjoy such a beautiful sunset again.

He has seen many sunsets, and today's sunset is the most beautiful, because the fewer there are, the more people feel cherished.

Behind Yu Chigong, there were several soldiers standing, and when they saw that Yu Chigong had lost his usual casualness, their expressions also sank.

"General, we Datang...... Will you be able to get through this difficult time? ”

In their hearts, there was still no confidence, Wei Chigong glanced back at them, and said, "Of course you can, how can the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty be ruined by the barbarian iron horse?" This Datang is just at the beginning, and it has not yet entered glory, how can it fail? ”

Perhaps, when there was chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they joined the army just to eat well, just to be a marquis and worship generals, but when their identity and status are getting higher and higher, they will also have some blueprints of the Tang Dynasty in their hearts.

How good would it be if Datang could be built like the Han Dynasty?

Leave a name in history.

--------------------

The next day, the sky was fine.

Early in the morning, the Turkic soldiers and horses rushed to the city of Jingzhou.

The 100,000 people of Jieli Khan were very vast, standing on the city tower and looking down, the black pressure was full of people, and before they fought, it made people's hearts tremble.

Wei Chi Gong frowned, at this time, Jieli Khan walked to the front from the army: "Listen to the people in the city, if you know each other, quickly open the city gate and surrender to my Turks, in this case, I can spare my life, otherwise, the city of Jingzhou is broken, and the Khan is bound to slaughter the city for three days." ”

Jieli Khan was not very old, but the words he said were very cold, and the cold made this spring seem to have suddenly returned to the cold winter.

Wei Chigong suddenly smiled: "Tang boy, I'd rather die than surrender, you want us to die, unless you capture Jingzhou City." ”

Hearing this, Jieli Khan snorted with disdain, in his opinion, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou City are nothing at all, and it is not difficult to capture them.

There are 50,000 or 60,000 Tang troops in Lingzhou City, and they don't fight 100,000 like that?

Just after Wei Chigong finished speaking, Jieli Khan didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he waved his hand directly and shouted: "Kill ......"

At the sound of the order, the Turkic soldiers and horses rushed up.

The Turks are not good at attacking cities, so they do not have many siege equipment, and the most commonly used ones are ladders and stakes to hit the door, and these two things are the easiest for them to carry.

Not to mention the wooden stake, you can take materials from anywhere, the day before the war, just make a point, the ladder is relatively large, but the ladder generally has wheels, and it is not troublesome to push.

More and more, there will be no more.

The Turkic soldiers and horses rushed to cross the moat, and the Turkic soldiers and horses in front of them were holding wooden planks to build bridges, and Wei Chigong stood on the city tower and shouted: "Prepare the archers, release the arrows!" ”

Sharp arrows rained down, and soon stopped the attacking Turkic soldiers and horses, but when the Tang army on the city tower released arrows, the Turkic side soon also had archers who began to shoot arrows, on the one hand, covering their people to attack the city, on the other hand, they could also kill some Tang troops.

The Turkic soldiers and horses are all men on the steppe, bows and arrows or something, they play the most skillfully, and the strength is very great, although they shoot from the bottom to the top do not have an advantage, but still hit the Tang army.

Sharp arrows were flicked one after another, and soon, there were Turkic soldiers and horses crossing the moat, and the Tang army on the city tower did not dare to hesitate, and immediately it was a boulder and a rolling log, and soon, the first round of Turkic attacks was repulsed.

But there were a lot of Turkic soldiers and horses, and just when the first round of attacks was defeated, immediately after that, the second round of soldiers and horses rushed forward again.

The smell of blood spread in Jingzhou City, and a lot of corpses soon piled up under the city tower, including Turkic soldiers and horses, as well as Tang troops.

Kill, kill.

The battle lasted until late in the evening, when it finally stopped as the Turkic soldiers and horses stopped attacking the city.

The evening breeze blew, the smell of blood was a little pungent, Wei Chigong stood on the city tower, his eyes seemed more and more determined, in today's battle, the Turks suffered a lot of losses, and they also had a lot of Tang troops, but according to this situation, he still had a certain degree of confidence, because there should be no problem in holding the city for more than 20 days.

He hoped that Qin Tian's methods would be effective.
