Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

Although Guo Jing is greedy for money, he has a unique strategic vision.

Li Er appointed Guo Jing to guard the four towns of Anxi. In addition to his bravery, he also considered his strategic vision and courage.

"Our army will surely win this battle. With such achievements, why should we give it up to a new deputy governor?"

When he said this, there was a little disdain between Guo Jing's brows.

Recorder Jianjun nodded in understanding.

An hour later, Guo Jing led three thousand soldiers and galloped towards Yizhou.

Standing on the top of the city of Jiaohe, Wei Hao looked at the three thousand cavalrymen of the Tang Army who were fleeing away, and said loudly:
"Scholars of the Tang Dynasty, I am waiting for your triumphant return in Jiaohe City!"

"Boss, are you sure you will win this battle?"

Lei Wu asked in a low voice.

"Have!"

Wei Hao said without hesitation.

"Boss Wei Hao is so sure?"

"Yilu Khan's dispatch of troops to Yizhou this time is obviously a tentative strategic attack. Its strength will not be large, and it will not love to fight."

What Guo Jing thought of, Wei Hao also thought of.

"Now Duhuqin leads [-] light cavalry to rush forward, and will launch a surprise attack on the Xidajue army. When the town soldiers in Yizhou attack, the Xidajue army will naturally be defeated!"

Although Wei Hao and Guo Jing are at odds, Wei Hao has to admit that Guo Jing is courageous and resourceful.

"Dongfang Ze, send more scouts immediately, and keep an eye on Xi Dajue's movements at any time, in case it has other intentions."

Wei Hao turned his head, looked at Dongfang Ze, and ordered.

"promise!"

Dongfang Ze bowed his hand and left.

Wei Hao looked at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, feeling restless.

The battle spirit in his body was more restless than usual, as if he had sensed something.

He ordered the soldiers of Jiaohe City to strengthen their defenses and step up their patrols around the area.

"Lei Wu, you lead five hundred elite soldiers to Tianshan City."

Wei Hao then ordered Lei Wu.

"Now there are less than [-] guards in Jiaohe City. If the general will take away [-] elite soldiers, if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack Jiaohe City, I am afraid that the troops in Jiaohe City will be empty."

Lei Wu didn't agree immediately, but said thoughtfully.

"I have inspected Tianshan City before and found that the strategic location of this place is important."

Wei Hao said disapprovingly.

"If the enemy takes the opportunity to attack Tianshan City first, and then use Tianshan City as a springboard, Jiaohe City will definitely be endangered."

"understand!"

Lei Wu nodded and said nothing.

The next day!

The autumn wind is bleak.

An army of more than [-] people from Xidajue is rushing to Yizhou.

His master, Ashina Jisheng, was sitting on the tall horse, full of ambition, as if Yizhou was within reach.

"Report!"

An orderly came quickly.

"The scouts report that Guo Jing, the governor of Anxi, is leading [-] cavalry and is heading towards Yizhou!"

"it is good!"

Ashina Jisheng nodded slightly, without any surprise.

"Order the scouts to continue to investigate Tang Jun's movements!"

"promise!"

The orderly rode away.

"Captain Wan, as far as the general knows, Guo Jing is a man of courage and strategy, and he personally leads the troops here, we have to guard against him."

A commander said thoughtfully.

"What I want is for Guo Jing to come in person!"

Ashinagi didn't care about Tao at all.

"Khan's goal is not Yizhou. Guo Jing led the army here, which is exactly what Khan wants."

"Could it be that Khan's real purpose is..."

"There are some things you just need to understand, don't speak out!"

Ashina Jisheng interrupted the commander.

"Remember, our strategic intentions are currently not allowed to inform soldiers below the centurion, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law!"

"promise!"

The commander nodded solemnly.

"Others say that Guo Jing is brave and resourceful, but Master Wan wants to take this opportunity to fight against him!"

Ashina said in a low voice.

"I, Xi Dajue, under the leadership of Yilu Khan, first wiped out the Luoyehu Khan, then the Tutribe, the Fengtribe, and not long ago, the Tucharo tribe.

This time, I want to see whether it is I, Xi Dajue, who is brave, or Tang Jun, who is brave! "

Not long ago, Ashina Jisheng led an army to flatten Tocharia in one fell swoop, so his arrogance was very arrogant.

This time, he not only wants to achieve Yilu Khan's true strategic intention, but also wants to take the opportunity to defeat Guo Jing.

If Guo Jing can be defeated, Tang Jun's prestige in the Western Regions will no longer exist.

At that time, the Western Regions will all belong to the Western Dajue.

"Report!"

After a while, another messenger reported.

"The Tang army led by Guo Jing has disappeared, and now the scouts are looking for it everywhere!"

"what?"

Ashina Jisheng's expression changed.

"Quick, quickly order all the scouts to look for Tang Jun's trace!"

"promise!"

……

Night is deep.

Autumn in the Frontier Fortress is much colder than that in the Central Plains.

Many Datang defenders in Tianshan City have fallen asleep.

The guards on the city gate hid in the tower to keep warm.

"I heard that the guard personally led the army to help Yizhou, how is your battle going?"

Guard A put his hand close to the campfire, looking for something to say.

"Our Tang army is brave, and the Xidajue army is certainly no match!"

Guard B said confidently.

"That's right! Our Tang army will win this battle!"

Guard C agreed.

"It's strange, why did the deputy governor send another five hundred elite soldiers to Tianshan City?"

Guard A spoke again, thoughtfully.

"Who knows? Maybe I'm worried about an enemy sneak attack." Guard B said.

"I heard that this Deputy Chief Protector is new here, so maybe he is more cautious."

Guard C said indifferently.

"However, how could an enemy sneak attack on Tianshan City! I'm afraid it's just unfounded worries!"

"Honestly speaking, I hope that there will be a sneak attack by the enemy. It's better than standing guard all day long, with no chance to make military exploits."

Guard A was half joking, half serious.

"You can be content!"

Guard C said disapprovingly.

"Do you think it is good to have an enemy attack? If you are not careful, you will return the body shrouded in horse leather."

"that is!"

Guard B agrees with Guard C.

"I'd rather be an ordinary guard than die for military exploits."

"You have no ambition!"

Guard A glanced at them with a flash of disdain.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Enemy attack..."

At this moment, a call came from outside.

The guards inside the tower hurriedly ran out, only to see countless sharp arrows shooting at them.

Guard A and Guard C couldn't dodge in time, and were shot by sharp arrows and fell to the ground.

After a round of arrow rain, the Tang army on the city wall saw the enemy army coming out of nowhere outside the city.

It was so dark that it was impossible to see exactly how many people there were, but depending on the situation, it was no less than [-] people.

The defenders in Tianshan City were all awakened, and under the leadership of the defenders, they immediately went into battle.

Tianshan City is a small city, and there were less than a thousand soldiers in the city, but fortunately Lei Wu brought five hundred soldiers.

But there are only more than 1000 people.

In front of tens of thousands of enemy troops, the defenders of more than 1000 people may be difficult to resist.

but!

The defenders of Tianshan City did not retreat, and under the leadership of Lei Wu and a guarding captain surnamed Yang, they desperately defended against the enemy.

The soldiers knew that they had to stand firm and never allow the enemy to take a step into the city.

If they retreat as soldiers, the enemy army in front of them will break into the city.

At that time, the people in the city will be slaughtered and all their property will be looted.

"Soldiers, swear to the death to guard Tianshan City, guard the people behind you, and never let the Xidajue bandits step into the city!"

Captain Yang roared loudly.

"kill!"

"Swear to protect Tianshan City to the death, kill!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.
