At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

The cold wind howled, the horses neighed, and the shouts of killing shook the sky!

The whole world is infected, and it is difficult for depressed people to breathe.

It was originally just an encounter, but at this moment, whether it was the Tang army or the Western Turks, they were all red-eyed, and there was a decisive battle to determine the age.

Excluding the refugees, the Western Turks had a 40-strong army. Although the Tang army had less than [-] troops, the strength of the Tang army was huge, but its equipment was far superior to that of the Western Turks.

Another aspect is that Su Dingfang is an iron-blooded and ruthless man at heart. He dared to attack the enemy's middle army with a few hundred people. At this moment, he has a hundred thousand troops in his hand, and he is in a state of excitement.

The 50 troops from both sides were all thrown into the Shura field.

Su Dingfang didn't feel like beating the drum enough, so he went off the stage himself, and led the soldiers forward. Tang Jun screamed when he saw this, and the blood in his body was boiling.

"roar~"

The soldiers of the Tang army shouted thunderously, roaring and rushing towards the enemy.

When the fighting on the battlefield was the most intense, a group of people gathered in a military camp hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, vaguely heading towards something.

"Why haven't the Western Turks arrived yet? We've been waiting here for more than a day."

"I have created so many conveniences for you in the early stage. The troops on the border of the Tang Dynasty can no longer organize any battles. Your more than 40 Turkic soldiers and horses are actually stopped by Su Dingfang's 10 people?"

"Are they all a bunch of idiots?"

""

A violent and angry voice came from a room.

It was the Han people who were roaring, the remnants of the Guanlong lineage. Originally, the plan they had discussed with the Western Turks was supposed to gather here a day ago, but now that the people from the Guanlong lineage have arrived, the Western Turkic troops are delayed. late.

The few Western Turkic nobles who were in charge of contacting here had gloomy faces, secretly cursing the Guanlong lineage and Ashina Helu in their hearts, but on the surface they did not express any dissatisfaction.

Because it is true that he is loosening his belt, if he were himself, his attitude would probably not be much better.

The nobles of the Western Turks apologized helplessly: "Although Su Dingfang only has 10 people in his hands, they are well equipped. I heard that they have 'thunder' in their hands, and that kind of bottle that can burn. There were heavy casualties, and it was extremely difficult to defeat Su Dingfang."

"Hmph~" The remnants of the Guanlong clans who were present gritted their teeth and snorted coldly.

One of the Yin family's disciples stood up angrily, "What kind of thunder, we also studied it later, the power is not that great, it's just loud. There are so many of you, how many of these things do they have in their hands?"

The nobleman from the Western Turks said speechlessly: "The general knows it before, but for us Turkic people, it's the first time we see this kind of thing, so why not panic?"

"Even if people don't panic, war horses can't stand it!"

There was a moment of silence at the scene, because what the nobleman from the Western Turks said was also true. People from the Guanlong lineage looked no better than Turkic people when they saw gunpowder for the first time.

A member of the Changsun family clenched his fists vigorously, got up suddenly, and said fiercely: "Otherwise, don't wait, we will lead people directly to Chang'an, cut off Qin Shou's head, and avenge my uncle. "

"There is also the Li Tang royal family. My uncle helped him win the throne, but now he even connives at Qin Shou's murder. My eldest grandson's family ransacked the family and exterminated the family, and the few people were exiled."

Changsun Ji, the leader of the generation of the Changsun family in the army, is highly valued by Changsun Wuji. He originally planned to end his training in the local army this year and return to the Ministry of War.

But everything changed drastically when Qin Shou returned to Chang'an. Not only the eldest grandson Wuji was killed, but even the entire eldest grandson family was implicated.

He watched helplessly that the prosperity and wealth that he had obtained had been wiped out.

A family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has collapsed

If he wanted to survive, he could escape before Qin Shou had time to find him to settle the case, but he didn't want that. He wanted to take revenge on Qin Shou, Li Zhi, and the entire Tang Dynasty, so he united with other families in Guanlong The descendants of him got in touch with the Western Turks.

The blue veins on Changsun Ji's forehead popped up, and he gritted his teeth "creaking". Looking at the children of the major families present, "there are Turks holding back Su Dingfang's army, Chang'an's defense must be empty, and we also have 5 men , is it enough to break the wrist with Qin Shou?"

The other disciples of the Guanlong lineage all squinted their eyes when they heard the words, and finally nodded.

Changan

Qin Shou, who had just had a battle with Changle, received the report immediately. He put on a piece of clothing and walked out of the back room to check the news.

"Good guy, I wanted to find you at first, but I didn't expect you to come under my nose."

Qin Shou couldn't help laughing, because it was written on the note that the remnants of Guanlong's faction were entrenched more than a hundred miles away from Chang'an.

Really dozed off, someone sent a pillow

Immediately, he lost all sleepiness, put on the soft armor, raised the long knife, led the horse, and went directly to Li Ji's mansion to inform him of the incident.

If you send troops by yourself, Chang'an must be controlled by a trustworthy person, so that there will be no accidents, and we will meet again at that time.

Li Ji is suitable for this role, and he will not easily join Li Zhi's camp and become a sworn enemy with Qin Shou, and his life will be ruined.

"No, let's discuss it again, so we can have a countermeasure." Li Ji persuaded.

Qin Shou said with a smile: "The art of war is the most important thing, and the most important thing is speed."

After finishing speaking, Qin Shou laughed again, then got on his horse and rode away with a long knife in his hand.

A moment later

Chang'an was awakened by the sound of horseshoes, and everyone was shocked.

"What happened? What happened in Chang'an?"

"It doesn't sound like it, it seems to be heading out of the city."

"Since Chang'an is under the control of Qin Shou, the law and order has improved, there have been fewer thieves, and the price of food has dropped, so don't let anything happen."

The common people prayed to the gods and worshiped Buddha in their hearts, while those from the aristocratic families were frightened one by one, and let the private soldiers and guards hold the gate firmly. All the young people in the family were woken up and sent to the cellar or the secret passage middle.

The person in charge went up to the watchtower of the family and looked towards Suzaku Avenue.

The Taiyuan Wang family and Wang Jingzhi opened their mouths in a daze at this time, looking in the direction of the city gate, and saw the torches shining like a river spreading out of the city.

Send troops?

Qin Shou actually sent troops, what was he going to do?

"hiss!"

Immediately, a message received before dinner flashed through Wang Jingzhi's mind, his pupils shrank rapidly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He wants to deal with the remnants of Guan Long?

His immediate reaction was to send a letter to the people in Guanlong, but then he realized that Qin Shou was attacking by cavalry, so sending a letter was meaningless.

The moment this idea flashed out, he couldn't believe it in his heart, because there were 5 people in the Guanlong lineage, and although there were twelve guards in Chang'an, it was impossible to transfer all of them, at most the number of people who could be transferred Five mansions and four guards, less than 5000 people.

5000 people?

this madman

Wang Jing watched the torch gradually move away, and stood on the room blankly with complicated eyes.

The battlefield between the Western Turks and the Tang army has now become a huge meat grinder.

As far as the eye can see, blood is flowing, broken weapons, fallen battle flags, limbs and arms, corpses one after another, scattered all over the ground, and some corpses have their heads moved.

Some limbs disappeared, and some leather armor was cut with a big hole, and the sword was still on it.

The clouds in the sky were gray, and at some point, it rained lightly. In this cold spring weather, ice particles were caught in the rain and hit people's faces, causing pain.

It hit the ground, and in the pit formed by the pool of blood on the ground, the blood appeared in circles of ripples like water.

Su Dingfang wiped the icy rain from his face. At this time, his body was also injured, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, and said in his mouth, "Pei Xingjian, press me up again."

On the opposite side of the Western Turkic camp, Ashina Helu's face was as gloomy as water, and the shouts and killings around him poured in like a tide, but his expression did not change at all.

He seemed to be trembling, his eyes were straight, and his whole body seemed to have fallen into the ice cave of ten thousand years.

died!

all dead!

Within sight, the clansmen were constantly being lost, and the strong smell of blood in the air pressed into his lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Khan, get out!"

"Sweat profusely"

After being called several times in a row, Ashina Helu suddenly gave a jolt, recovering from the hysterical state just now.

He let out a long sigh, and said with blank eyes: "Withdraw!"

Chapter 373 Good news or bad news

The night of the third day when Qin Shou left with his army

The moonlight was like washing, sweeping the ground brightly.

On Suzaku Street, a fast horse knocked on the stone bricks with its hooves like flying, and the sound of "da da da" resounded in the hearts of everyone.

On the horse's back was an urgent messenger with red feathers, holding the rein tightly in his hand, shouting hoarsely; "Urgent report, urgent report"

Those people who hadn't gone yet looked at Hongling Jishi solemnly, their eyes flickering.

"Is this the result of the war in the north?"

"I'm afraid so"

Hong Ling rushed all the way along Suzaku Street, all the way to the Xuanwu Gate, knocked on the Xuanwu Gate, and entered the palace with the sound of horseshoes.

inside the palace

Li Zhi just drank the medicine, and not long after he lay down, his body was deteriorating, and now he was sleeping very lightly. Hearing the movement outside, his eyes slowly opened

"What happened outside?"

An eunuch ran in, "Your Majesty, Hong Ling hastened to report."

Li Zhi's eyes froze for a moment, and he tried to support himself to stand up but failed. Seeing this, the eunuch hurried forward to help Li Zhi's back and let him sit down.

"Quick, bring in the emergency report!"

Li Zhiqiang pulled himself together, unfolded the Hongling emergency report, his eyes widened suddenly, excited and relieved, "We won, a big victory!"

"Cough cough cough" excited, his face suddenly became as red as blood, he picked up a piece of silk beside the bed and wiped the corners of his mouth, but saw that it was a little red.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Physician"

Seeing this, the eunuch's face turned green, and he stammered several times before finishing his sentence.

However, Li Zhi broke free from the eunuch's supporting hand, walked to the window, looked at the palaces, red walls, and golden tiles, and said with a wry smile: "No need, I know my own body."

And at the door of Wang's house in Taiyuan, there was a hasty knock on the door, and the urgency could be heard from the footsteps.

"My lord, Hong Ling's envoy has returned in a hurry. I'm afraid it has something to do with the situation in the north."

Soon, in the room, the lights were turned on, the girl in the room put clothes on Wang Jingzhi, Wang Jingzhi put on his shoes, and hurriedly opened the door.

"What's the matter?"

"In less than a quarter of an hour!"

Wang Jing groaned in his head, clenched his fingers vigorously, wrapped himself in his clothes, and ran out in a hurry.

"Quick, get your horses ready"

These days, he has been thinking about these things in his mind, so he sleeps very lightly. It is related to the rise and fall of his family. It can be said that his heart has been tugging. Now that he heard the news, the exhaustion of his whole body was shocked. disappeared.

In the Ministry of War, there are people on duty in normal times

Not to mention, now that the North and West Turks are at war, Liaodong and Goguryeo are both at war, so there are more than two officials on duty in the lobby of the Ministry of War every day.

Today, Li Ji happened to be among them. He wasn't needed at first, but he was old, he didn't sleep for a long time, and he was worried about the war in the Northland. After dinner, after a short nap, he came to the Ministry of War.

People don't accept their old age, so after staying for a while, the head bit by bit again, like a chicken pecking at rice.

An official kindly reminded: "General, you can go back and rest. We are here. If there is anything, we will inform you as soon as possible."

Li Ji sighed, got up and was about to go back, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside.

"Good news!"

"Good news!"

The news of Hongling's urgent mission also reached the Ministry of War at this time, and what he was holding in his hand was the letter of Hongling's urgent mission.

Li Ji's eyes were wide open, and he ran out, took the urgent letter, took it under the lamp and opened it for a look, he was completely numb.

The other two officials from the Ministry of War also gathered around to look at the news above with burning eyes.

"hiss!"

The two gasped.

I saw the words on the letter: "Deputy General Zhou Zhidu conquered Chumukun City and beheaded 3 people."
