In the city of Jizhou.

King Zuo Xian received a report from the defenders and learned that the Tang army was coming, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

Not long ago, he sent Amusu to lead the army to unite with Silla, and attacked Youzhou on a snowy night, but unfortunately encountered the early deployment of the Youzhou army, and the Khitan soldiers suffered a lot of losses in the fierce battle with the Silla army.

After experiencing the defeat, in addition, when the Tang army first arrived in Youzhou, he guessed that the Tang army mostly chose to recover Jizhou and Pingzhou in the early spring, when the ice and snow melted and the climate warmed.

He also planned that in the winter, the Khitan soldiers would stay in Jizhou, recuperate, accumulate strength, and wait for the beginning of spring, personally lead the army to the south, fight against the Tang army, and strive to capture Youzhou.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, in the cold winter, Yang Yue did not let the army under his account recuperate, so he couldn't bear it and struck first.

Today, Yang Yue led tens of thousands of Tang soldiers to the city, contrary to his plan, and when the Khitan soldiers were unprepared, King Zuo Xian couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart.

What's more, the leader of the army today is Yang Yue, which makes the situation more and more dangerous, and he must have a perfect strategy to prevent Yang Yue from capturing Jizhou.

Although he and Yang Yue have never had a one-sided relationship, but about Yang Yue's deeds, it seems that a cold wind blows all over the place where the Khitan people are.

Yang Yue's methods are cruel, killing people like hemp, he is simply a murderous maniac.

In the battle, he did not pay attention to any tactics, all intentions, just to kill the enemy, on the battlefield, his generals were even more like wolves and tigers, and they completely killed the enemy's living force without a horse leather shroud.

Often the bones are covered and rivers of blood flow.

Therefore, Yang Yue led the army to come, and King Zuo Xian felt creepy.

At the first time, he summoned the generals under his tent and wanted to discuss blocking the Tang army.

If the timing is right, he will personally lead the troops into battle, lead the troops to fight against the Tang army, and strive to eradicate hidden dangers once and for all.

Soon, all the generals gathered in the study of King Zuoxian.

The leaders of the tribes such as Mu Tuo, Bordo, Mo Duo, and Gurhun were all fierce generals under the account of King Zuoxian, and their strength was stronger than that of Amusu, who died in the previous battle.

Arriving at the study, King Zuo Xian sat nervously, swept the generals present with cold eyes, and said bluntly: "Mu Tuo, Bordo, Yang Yue personally led the troops to arrive outside Jizhou, what methods do you have to resist the enemy?" ”

At this time, in the study, the atmosphere is a little serious, like the cold ice that gradually freezes in winter.

For a while, in the study, the generals were silent.

Most of these tribal leaders had fought against Yang Yue, and were attacked by Yang Yue's right guards, saying that they were not afraid of Yang Yue, it was simply a fantasy.

Today, Yang Yue personally led tens of thousands of Tang troops, and in the cold winter weather, regardless of the harsh environment, he took the initiative to attack, and he was bound to rely on it.

These tribal leaders, in a short period of time, have no good way to defend against the enemy.

In anxiety, when he was in danger, the leader of Mu Tuo took the lead in holding his fists and made a suggestion: "King Xian, in recent months, the Tang army has sent elite cavalry to quietly eliminate the Khitan and Silla spies, making it impossible for our army to reconnoiter the situation of the Tang army.

At this time, Yang Yue personally led the army to arrive outside the city of Jizhou, our army did not understand the Tang army, and the last general suggested that he rely on the city and hold on.

The Tang army came from Youzhou, if it could not attack the city, it would not stay for long in winter, and it was very likely that when it was frustrated, it would take the initiative to lead the army to evacuate. ”

Hearing this, King Zuo Xian asked: "Mu Tuo, Yang Yue led the troops, and never gave up until the goal was achieved, if the Tang army desperately attacked the city and persisted with our army for a long time, what should we do?" ”

Yang Yue has been in Youzhou for three years, he is domineering, arrogant and strong, and he knows the power of Youzhou well.

King Zuo Xian believes that Yang Yue led the army to come on his own initiative today, and he will never return in vain.

"King Xian, Jizhou City, the city is high and the walls are thick, the last general personally went to the city wall to observe, the Tang army came, did not bring any siege equipment, according to the cavalry, there is no ability to storm Jizhou City." Mu Tuo said without hesitation.

"General Mu, when encountering Yang Yue and Youwuwei, you can't take the enemy lightly." Bordo did not agree with Mu Tuo's suggestion, and when he reminded Mu Tuo, he suggested to King Zuo Xian by the way: "King Xian, the last general proposes to rely on Jizhou to attract the attention of the Tang army head-on, and then send generals to lead the army, quietly kill from the east and west gates, and strive to hit the Tang army by surprise." ”

"Bordo, do you think the Khitan cavalry, coming out of the east and west gates, has a chance of defeating the Tang army?" When King Zuo Xian heard the voice, when he was silent, he greatly appreciated Bordo's suggestion, the Khitans were good at defending as an attack, even if the opponent was fierce, they should not abandon their roots.

Hearing this, Bordo thought for a moment and said categorically: "King Xian, if the defenders can hold out into the night, the last general will personally lead King Xian's tent to ride the elite horses, and there will be at least seven or eight points of victory." ”

"Are you sure?" King Zuo Xian's eyes stared directly at Bordo, expecting to ask.

He also felt that Bordo's proposal was very successful, but if Bordo's plan fell through, or if there were a slight drawback, the army out of the city would inevitably suffer serious harm.

Bordo bowed his head and said with confidence: "King Xian, the end will be confirmed. It's just that the Tang army is attacking the city, and it is difficult to predict whether the defenders can hold out into the night. ”

King Zuo Xian often breathed a sigh of relief, directly ordered the generals, and ordered coldly: "Mu Tuo, Mo Duo, you personally lead the tribal cavalry to defend the south gate, if the Tang army does not take the initiative to attack, you will not move. If the Tang army attacks the city, no matter what the cost, you must hold out into the night. ”

"King Xian rest assured." Mu Tuo, Mo Duo got the order, got up and hugged his fists.

At this time, King Zuo Xian continued to instruct: "Gurhun, you assist Bordo, lead the army to attack from the east and west city gates, be sure to inflict heavy losses on the Tang army, if the situation is not unfavorable, quickly withdraw to Jizhou City, and do not fight with the Tang army." ”

"King Xian rest assured." Gulhun and Bordo got up and hugged his fists.

At this time, King Zuo Xian got up and said: "Don't delay, the whole army will take action, those who are not good will not come, Yang Yue will personally lead the troops to come, there is bound to be the idea of seizing Jizhou City, we must not let him succeed." ”

"Yes!" Hearing the sound, the generals got up and hugged their fists.

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly turned around and left the mansion, went to their respective military camps, and dispatched troops to prepare to meet the Tang army.

At this time, outside the city wall, Yang Yue led the army, looked up at the sky from time to time, and noticed that the hour was almost there, Yang Yue grabbed the halberd of the painting sky, pointed at Jizhou City suddenly, and shouted wildly: "Xiao Chen, lead the army under the tent, form an arrow array, suppress the Khitan people on the city wall, Zhao Xuanhu, lead the cavalry under the tent, pretend to attack the city, Lin Kaiyue, order the elite cavalry, and place the earth-shaking thunder under the south gate,"

"Yes!" Lin Kaiyue, Zhao Xuanhu, Xiao Yun, hugging fists.

Soon, in the calm Tang army, there was an instant agitation.

Xiao Chen held a spear in his hand, raised it suddenly, and shouted to the flying cavalry behind him: "Brothers, go forward with General Ben, draw your bow and shoot arrows, and shoot the Khitans." ”

Hearing Xiao Chen's order, he commanded the flying cavalry army, the forward army, and held an iron shield to form a tight protection.
