In order to win the battlefield and ensure that the Turkic army was blocked in the north of Fengzhou, Yang Yue deliberately arranged two sets of plans.

First, Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming were dispatched to lead their elite soldiers and fierce generals to the southern end of the Xishou City non-stop to join Guo Xiaocai, who was monitoring the movements of the Turks.

Taking advantage of the Turkic soldiers' courage to gather in the city, they launched an attack on the Turks and occupied the initiative on the battlefield.

With the help of powerful firearms, continuous crossbows, and brave cavalry, the Turks were trapped in the surrendered city of the West.

If this is achieved, Yang Yue firmly believes that with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it can cause a fatal crisis to the Turks.

The Tang army had abundant grain and grass, and had a large number of generals, but the Turks suffered from drought and the harvest was seriously affected.

Regardless of King Zuoxian, King Zuo Guli, Yan Xingjun, or Yi Ran and Temur, they led the army to the south to conquer the Tang Dynasty, and they were all ready to grab grain and weaken the food crisis of the tribe.

Therefore, the Tang army can afford to consume, but the Turks may not be able to afford it.

What's more, Antony led the Sassanid invasion from the west, which would also bring fatal hidden dangers to the Turks.

Once Yiran, Temur, Zuo Xianwang and others focused their attention on the Tang Dynasty, but whenever Antony broke into the Turks, it would be like a Turkic who had entered a no-man's land and killed the Turks.

The most important thing is that time is irreversible, the Turks will not be able to grab food on the border of the Tang Dynasty, they will fall into a food crisis, autumn will go to winter, and a snowstorm will come, which will completely send the Turks to hell.

Second, Yang Yue sent messengers to the east of the starry night to convey an edict to Li Yucheng, Yuan Mingsha, and Luo Shishang, ordering the three generals to work together to eliminate the Yan department.

The surrender of the city cut off the connection between the east and west of the two surrendered cities, the Yan Department was almost isolated on the eastern front, if the two Tang armies were attacked, there was no rush to help, 70,000 Turks could not stop the edge of more than 100,000 Tang troops,

Yan marched, Wen Boyan's army was eradicated by the Tang army, the Tang Dynasty recovered the city on the eastern front, the army advanced from the eastern front to the western front, and all the Turks who were cowering in the west were surrounded by the Tang army.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of Turkic elites retreated in the small western surrender city, and they would withdraw to the Turkic territory in time unless they abandoned the city and fled.

Otherwise, under the repeated blows of several Tang armies, the death of Yiran, King Zuoxian, Temur and the Turkic army will not be far off.

After Yang Yue's imperial order came out, Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, Zhao Xuanhu, Nan Daoming, Ye Qinghu and other generals basically guessed his strategy.

While fighting, while dragging on, with the help of time and the Tang army to completely consume the Turks, and in the battle to reduce the casualties of the Tang army as much as possible.

Prepare in advance for the Tang Dynasty to unify the north and eliminate the Khitan, Sassanid and Western empires.

That night, the messenger secretly went out of the city from the east gate of Fengzhou, with Yang Yue's edict, and went to Zhongshou City and Yunzhong non-stop, and conveyed the royal decree to Li Yucheng, Yuan Mingsha, and Luo Shishang.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming led more than 80,000 elites, carrying many siege equipment and various firearms, and went to the west to surrender to the city in the morning light.

At the same time, Yang Yue sent Nan Daoming to command the Tang army remaining in the city to quickly strengthen Fengzhou City, which is currently used to defend the Turks from going south, and will use Fengzhou City as a conquest of the Turks, Khitans, and Sassanids in the future.

Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming led the army out of the city, not daring to be careless.

This battle is related to the ownership of several cities in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and it will also determine the status of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

In the process, Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming personally explained the importance of this battle to the generals of the three armies.

If the Tang army wins, everyone will be happy, and if the Tang army loses the battle, no matter how much it costs, it will be consumed with the Turks.

At the turn of summer and autumn, the sun is still hot.

Surrender to the west!

Yiran, Temur led 300,000 royal court iron cavalry to come, so that the Turks had an absolute numerical advantage in fighting against the Tang army.

The momentum of the three armies was gradually restored, and under the arrangement of Yiran, the Turks were ready to launch a favorable counterattack against the Tang army.

Strive for victory on the battlefield, change the situation of passive defense of the Turks, and push the battle line to the hinterland of Kannai Province and Hedong Province, so that it will be easier to plunder grain.

The south gate of the city of the West Surrender!

The elite soldiers under the command of King Zuo Xian patrolled back and forth in the corridor with weapons under the scorching sun.

This recovering defender is a little lax in defense!

All the defenders were almost convinced that hundreds of thousands of Turkic royal cavalry were stationed in the city, and the force was strong enough to crush the Tang army, and the Tang troops scattered all over the south did not dare to come forward.

Whoever led the army to attack the city was to hit the stone with an egg and kill himself.

At noon, Guo Xiao's cavalry corps, which was stationed in the south of the Western Surrender City, gradually became restless and rioted in the barracks.

The spies from the south returned to the city one after another, and the news came that a large number of Tang troops were heading north.

The general at the head of the South Gate ordered the defenders to cheer up and strengthen their vigilance in case the Tang army suddenly attacked from the south.

When the defenders in the city were fighting, the dust was rolling in the south of the city, and the dense Tang army iron cavalry was mixed in the dust, like a tornado approaching the surrendered city to the west.

Witnessing the sudden scene in the south, the general defending the city realized the seriousness of the problem.

The Tang Army is coming!

This group of Tang troops, who did not know whether they were alive or dead, dared to invade the city of Xishou and chose to hit the stone with an egg.

The guard drew his scimitar and shouted to the defenders in the aisle: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, the Tang army is coming, the Tang army is coming!" ”

While reminding the three armies to be vigilant, he ordered the pro-army to go to the drum and spread the message.

Looking at the range of dust floating in the south, the number of Tang troops who went north to fight seemed to be quite large, more than 100,000.

The defenders immediately realized that a fierce battle might soon take place.

The Turkic defenders in the corridor of the city wall also noticed the Tang army coming from the south, and they cheered up one by one, clutching their blades, and their expressions were unprecedentedly serious.

Tang Jun, Tang Jun is coming.

In the city of Xishou, almost 400,000 Turkic elites were stationed, including more than 100,000 brave and warlike royal court iron cavalry!

The Tang army dared to come and invade, and was not afraid that the iron cavalry of the royal court stationed in the city would pour out and give them a heavy blow?

When they saw the Tang Army's military flag hunting and displaying in the dust, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the military flag wrote the words Lin, Zhang, Guo and so on, the soldiers defending the city gradually became frightened.

Among them, almost half of the soldiers had been severely injured by Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, and Guo Xiaoqi, who led the Tang army.

If you don't flee in a panic, you will be lucky enough to escape death and return to the city.

Otherwise, most of the soldiers will die on the battlefield and buy bones elsewhere.

Recalling the Tang Army's powerful firearms, powerful crossbow power, and sharp swords, it seems that he has returned to the battlefield like purgatory.

Some of the defenders couldn't help but ooze a fine cold sweat on their foreheads, and they couldn't help but clench their scimitars, as if only the scimitars in their hands could bring them strength.

At the same time, they were rejoicing, glad that they were stationed in the city, even if the Tang army came with great momentum, it could not threaten their safety for the time being.

Otherwise, under the fierce firearms of the Tang army, they really did not have the courage to fight the Tang army in close combat.

The rumbling of the snare drums on the towers of the city sounded, and the deafening sound resounded throughout the surrendered city.

The original garrison in the aisle was armed, formed formations, piled up rolling logs and boulders, and arranged bed crossbow shield arrays.

The defenders from other places, suddenly hearing the sound of military drums spreading the news, rushed from all directions to gather at the south gate one after another.

Within half an hour, tens of thousands of defenders formed a watertight defense line at the south gate with the help of shields and bed crossbows.

Su Li, who was in charge of the deployment of the city, led the pro-army to rush to the city after hearing the news, and after rushing to the city, he climbed in the gap between the wall battlements, and looked at the Tang army coming from the south, and he was about to explode.

Yang Yue, Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, and Guo Xiaoqi are really deceitful.

They gathered hundreds of thousands of elites and had not yet gone south to attack Tang, but the Tang army dared to strike first, and the army appeared in the south of the city of Xishou.

Is this no one in the bullying Turkic army?

"Su Li, what's going on?"

King Zuo Xian, wearing armor, came to the city panting and looked at the Tang army outside and asked anxiously.

Timur, King Zuogu Liwang has not yet led his cavalry to Zhongshou City, but the Tang army has arrived in advance, but their deployment is leaked, and the Tang army is ready to strike first.

Knowing how cunning Yang Yue and the generals of the Tang Army were, King Zuo Xian did not dare to underestimate the enemy, lest he destroy Yi Ran's arrangement.

So that their plan last night, before they could take action, was stillborn.

"Lord Wang, for some reason the Tang Army suddenly attacked, looking at the banner of the Southern Tang Army, most of them were Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, and Guo Xiaoqi!" Su Li's blade pointed south, with a look of fear on his face, angry and annoyed, gritted his teeth and said.

Is the Tang Army all made of copper and iron?

In the past month, they first inflicted heavy losses on the Zuoxian Wang, and then traveled hundreds of miles to ambush the Liwang of the Zuogu in the grassland, and have launched two battles in succession, causing almost annihilation to the Turks.

King Khan, Temur led his troops to come, but the Tang army struck first and surrounded the surrendered city non-stop.

Su Li really admired Tang Jun's strength and will.

Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, Guo Xiaoqi?

When King Zuo Xian heard this, there were also a few gloom and horrors on his cheeks.

What are Lin Kaiyue going to do, isn't it a whimsical way to capture the Western Surrender City and eliminate the hundreds of thousands of Turks stationed in the city?

This group of Tang troops is simply crazy!

In the panic, there was a rumbling military drum in the rolling dust in the south, and a general rode his horse forward slowly, and when he was more than 300 steps away from the city wall, he stopped his horse, raised his iron whip and pointed to the head of the city, and shouted: "King Zuoxian, you cowardly as a mouse, since you dare to lead the tribal cavalry south to attack Tang, why did you lead the troops to retreat in the city, the face of the Turkic cavalry is about to be lost by you!" ”

Lin Kaiyue?

Suddenly hearing Lin Kaiyue's shouting and sarcasm, looking at his high-flying and domineering actions, Zuo Xian's face was pale, his iron fist smashed on the wall, and he turned sideways and whispered to Su Li: "Send the archers in the army who have a hundred steps through Yang to shoot Lin Kaiyue for this king!" ”

"Whoa!"

While the archers were preparing, King Zuo Xian's blade pointed at Lin Kaiyue and said angrily: "Lin Kaiyue, you led your troops to kill my Turkic son, and openly trampled on the dignity of this king, and this king will never forgive you."

Today, the main force of the Turks is in the city, since you don't know whether you are alive or dead, and the Tang army is looking for a dead end, this king meets the requirements and personally sends you on the road. ”

As he spoke, an archer next to him nodded slightly to Zuo Xianwang, Zuo Xianwang's body quickly dodged, and with a whoosh, a sharp arrow flew out from Zuo Xianwang's back, Su Li didn't dare to lag behind, grabbed the longbow and shot two arrows in a row, striving to prepare to shoot Lin Kaiyue.

The thieves led their troops one after another to inflict heavy losses on the Turks, so that the sons of their tribe were killed on the battlefield, and those who survived were barely able to retreat into the city, not daring to act rashly.

Today, I dare to lead the army to shout, if you don't kill him, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in your heart!

It's a pity that Lin Kaiyue's place is far away from the city wall, and the flying arrows landed ten steps in front of Lin Kaiyue!

"Hahaha, the Turkic longbow is nothing more than that!" Lin Kaiyue glanced at the arrow that pierced the ground, raised his head and laughed!

Immediately, he suddenly gathered the iron whip in his hand and commanded the soldiers behind him: "Shoot the crossbowmen, prepare the catapults, and prepare all kinds of firearms!" ”

When the military order came out, the archers who had already prepared in the rear, under the protection of two rows of shield soldiers, marched forward with crossbows in unison.

Constantly pulling the repeater, bursts of fine short arrows, like pouring rain, flew out of the ground and hit the city!

"Shield, defend, defend!"

Lin Kaiyue didn't agree with a word, and directly sent a crossbow soldier to shoot, looking at the arrows coming like a downpour in the air, King Zuo Xian drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Archers, counterattack, quickly counterattack, block the Tang army from approaching the city!" ”

In the previous close combat with the Tang army, they were severely damaged by the Tang army, and today they are stuck in the city, and the west surrendered city has been strengthened several times and is impregnable.

Even though the Tang army had crossbows, catapults, bed crossbows, and all kinds of firearms, King Zuo Xian still firmly believed that he would lead his elite soldiers to defend the city to the death, and deal a devastating blow to the Tang army that dared to offend the surrender of the city in the west!

For a time, the Turkic defenders at the head of the city, hiding under their shields, quickly drew their bows and fired.

Oooo

Oooo

The short arrows that fell from the sky pierced the Turks' shields with a crisp sound, and many of them pierced through the gaps between the shields and pierced the archers, and a miserable cry came from the city.

However, the soldiers who defended did not have the slightest idea of retreating, on the contrary, they became more and more courageous, seized the opportunity, risked their lives, and counterattacked the Tang army.

The Tang army hid behind the high shield, and from time to time there were also soldiers who were shot and killed and fell in a pool of blood, but the crossbowmen in the rear would quickly replenish and keep the entire queue from being destroyed.

The most critical Tang army's repeating crossbow did not stop at all, and the overwhelming rain of arrows came one after another, as if they wanted to dump all the broken arrows in the arrow basket on the city.

"These bastards!"

In the aisle, the Turks suffered more and more casualties, and under the pressure of the Tang army's crossbows, it became more and more difficult for them to fight back, and King Zuo Xian's face was coldly scolded?

Boom!

With a loud bang, a boulder smashed against the battlement, and it shook so loudly that it made a booming sound, and the broken stone fell on the shield.

King Zuoxian, Su Li, and the Turks at the head of the city had not yet resisted, and a huge stone fell down.

They looked into the sky and found many huge rocks, like meteors falling.

Bang bang, bang bang, one by one huge stones fell on the head of the city, and some even smashed on the shields of the shield soldiers, causing a large number of casualties!

"Fight back, fight back quickly!" As a last resort, King Zuo Xian had no choice but to use the bed crossbow to fight back, otherwise if this continued, the defenders at the head of the city would die tragically one after another.
