Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

In his letter to Li Qiu, Fan Xing wrote that our Youzhou Xuanjia Army, especially those recruits, were quite flustered when faced with the arrows that were shot at them.

The skills and overall combat power in the usual training have also been greatly affected.

This phenomenon also greatly reduces the power of our new armor and Mo Dao.

But if they all wear masks to cover their entire faces, leaving only their eyes and sight, this sense of panic and fear will be greatly weakened.

Therefore, if possible, you can try to add a mask when producing armor and Modao.

Seeing Fan Xing's proposal, Li Qiu took it seriously.

So it was ordered that when building armor, each set of armor should be equipped with a black iron mask.

In order to save time and effort, this black iron mask is just the simplest eggshell-shaped oval, leaving two holes for the eyes.

But it is also because of its simple and simple shape, which highlights the fierceness, fierceness and domineering of the whole set of equipment.

……

And just like that, another month passed.

It has been a month and a half since the Turkic army attacked Jingzhou City.

Both the Turkic and Tang armies suffered heavy casualties.

Since the day of the siege, the Turkic army has lost 12 people.

As for Jingzhou City, it will naturally be even more tragic.

There were originally 17 troops, but only [-] are left in the city.

There are also 3 or [-] township braves temporarily transferred from the Quartet.

The psychological attack tactics adopted by Datang before have indeed achieved results.

Due to the continuous death and loss of troops, the voices of doubt and dissatisfaction within the Turks are getting louder.

But it was still a long way from that kind of mutiny or collapse.

According to Li Jing's estimate, Jingzhou City can last at most half a month.

This is also the last time he and all the soldiers and people in Jingzhou can win for Chang'an for preparation.

However, after thousands of calculations, Jingzhou City missed a little bit.

That is, with the increase and accumulation of the number of war dead, the relative height between Jingzhou City and the ground has been shrinking.

That night, when Yu Zhining was on duty, the Turkic army successfully attacked the city.

And looking at the overall situation, although Datang is trying to attack back frantically.

But helplessly, the Tang Jun now is no longer the Tang Jun a month ago.

Most of the soldiers inside are local braves recruited temporarily.

Let them defend the city, the shortcomings may not be that big.

But when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, fighting spirit and martial arts, how can these farmers be the opponents of the barbaric Turkic people?

Seeing that there are more and more Turkic soldiers on the city wall, it is becoming more and more unfavorable to Datang.

This sudden change caught Li Jing and the others by surprise.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, old coach Li Jing also made a prompt decision.

"The city cannot be defended!"

"Chai Shao, Yu Chigong, Yu Zhining, you and others will evacuate quickly with the army."

"From now on, I will leave the war in Tang Dynasty to you!"

As he said that, Li Jing was about to lead the guards beside him to rush to the top of the city for the final resistance.

But Chai Shao and Yu Zhining looked at each other and ordered directly to take Li Jing away together.

In the end, it was the general of the Tang Dynasty, Dugu Yanyun, who led the soldiers and the people in the city to resist the Turkic army to the death and buy time for Li Jing, Chai Shao and others to evacuate!

This Dugu Yanyun is the son of Dugu Kai, the right guard general of the Sui Dynasty, and the successor of the general.

He is also Li Shimin's confidant, one of the nine generals who first entered the Xuanwu Gate to ambush during the Xuanwu Gate's change.

At this critical moment, Dugu Yanyun unquestionably led all his subordinates to rush forward, and died generously, without giving anyone a chance to fight for it.

Seeing this, Yu Zhining, Yuchi Jingde and the others were heartbroken, but they had no choice but to clench their teeth and evacuate quickly without wasting a moment.

On the top of the city of Jingzhou, Dugu Yanyun took the lead and shouted, "All the soldiers of my Tang Dynasty!"

"After Xiazhou City and Qingzhou City, it's finally our turn."

"The brothers in those two cities fought to the last moment, and there is no reason for us to be counselors."

"This group of Turkic bastards attacked my city, killed my people, humiliated my women, and ate my children."

"Follow me and fight with these beasts!"

Along with Dugu Yanyun, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty shouted and killed more and more Turkic soldiers on the city wall with red eyes.

This brutal hand-to-hand battle also unfolded.

Just when Chai Shao, Li Jing and other adults quickly evacuated, Dugu Yanyun led the last Tang army soldiers to resist desperately.

In the Turkic army, Zhishisili, Qibiheli, Ashinasheer and others also gave the order to die, attacking at all costs.

Li Jing, Chai Shao, Yuchi Jingde and other important generals in the city must be captured and beheaded.

In any case, they cannot be allowed to escape.

Chapter 386 The final battle is coming soon

Facing the densely packed Turkic army swarming over the city wall, the Tang Army led by Dugu Yanyun, which was composed of most of the common people, was at an absolute disadvantage.

Once the Turkic army broke through them and chased Li Jing, Chai Shao and others who were retreating, it would be a great loss for Datang.

At this moment, behind the Turkic army, [-] cavalry led by Li Shiji, who detoured from Ningzhou, charged towards the tail of the Turkic army.

Li Shiji has always been such a kind of person, independent and independent.

It is also one of Datang's famous titans.

It is difficult for anyone to guess what his real mind is thinking.

Before, Li Jing ordered his army to retreat one after another, not to support Jingzhou, and to preserve the strength for Datang.

But when he saw the opportunity and smelled the fighter, he quietly led the team from Ningzhou to the back of the Turkic army.

Then when the city of Jingzhou was broken, all the attention of the Turks was on attacking the city of Jingzhou, and the army he led rushed out.

The army behind the Turks was caught off guard.

The battle on their side ensued.

It also prevented the Turkic troops who had already invaded Jingzhou City from chasing after them rashly, and the Turkic generals such as Zhishi Sili and Qibi Heli once again brought people back to fight back.

The sudden entry led by Li Shiji really created an opportunity for Li Jing, Chai Shao and others to withdraw.

When Li Shiji's army launched a surprise attack, Xue Yantuo's and Tiele's tribes were at the end of the Turkic team, and they were immediately caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Tang army.

As soon as the battle started, the Turks lost as many as 1 people.

However, the development of the matter greatly exceeded Li Shiji's expectations.

His original plan was to catch them off guard by surprise and kill them 2 to [-] people, and withdraw their troops in time before they had time to react.

However, when they saw the army of the Tang Dynasty, the eyes of Yi Shiyinan of Xue Yantuo's tribe and the leader of Tie Le tribe's eyes were shining.

Immediately issued a death order, Tang Jun must be bitten at all costs.

That's it, Li Shiji's army lost the best time to break away from the battle, and was instead entangled by Turkic troops coming from other directions.

In desperation, Li Shiji could only order to fight the Turks to the death.

This battle continued until late at night, and Li Shiji, who had exhausted all of them, fled away with two or 3000 people in the dark.

In this battle, Li Shiji lost nearly 5 troops and killed [-] Turkic troops.

In the historical records of the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, this kind of battle loss ratio is already considered rare.

A day later, Li Shiji rejoined Li Jing and Chai Shao's army in Yong County.

At this time, Li Jing and others had also known the actions of Li Shiji's army.

After seeing him again now, Li Jing sighed again and again.

"Oh! Li Shiji!"

"Your battle has wiped out the last group of really good cavalry in my Tang Dynasty."

"Although there are still [-] forbidden troops in Chang'an City, how long has it been since they have actually been on the battlefield?"

"Now there are only more than 1 people left here, how will we fight the next battle?"

Li Shiji frowned at this time and said: "If I hadn't led the army to kill out suddenly, how many of the 1 people would be left today?"

"Furthermore, my army is [-], killing at least [-] Turks is enough."

"It's just that the Turkic people are like the locusts, there are too many people, no matter what, they can't kill them all!"

Chai Shao sighed softly at this moment, "It's useless to say these things now."

"Next, we can only wait for the imperial court's order, and prepare to fight Chang'an to the death!"

……

On the other hand, in the Turkic army, because of Li Shiji's surprise attack this time, it brought a very big trouble to the Turkic army.

It was also because of this subsidiary influence that Tuli ordered to rest in Jingzhou for three days, and lost the best opportunity to attack Chang'an in one go after the victory.

It's just because, in Li Shiji's surprise attack, Xue Yantuo's and Tie Le's tribes were beheaded.

However, due to the previous rotation, the more than 4 soldiers killed by Xue Yantuo and Tie Le were all from the three tribes of Huihe, Bayegu, and Tongluo.

Before attacking Jingzhou City, Tu Li and others tried their best to find a balance, so that the casualties of each tribe were similar.

But this time, Li Shiji's unreasonable playing of cards directly destroyed the balance.

The leaders and remaining members of the Huihe, Bayegu, and Tongluo tribes naturally quit.

Shouting angrily that he wanted to return to the grassland, Xue Yantuo's Yi Shiyi male intentionally borrowed a knife to kill someone and so on.

Under such a turbulent mood, the Turkic army naturally did not dare to advance rashly.

And tried every means to appease and adjust.

It was precisely because of this that they were delayed for three days.

However, after three days, Tuli and others managed to appease the emotions of these tribes.

The Turkic army rushed through Jingzhou again, and came straight to Chang'an aggressively.

In less than seven days, the Turkic outposts marching hastily captured Anding, Kenyuan, and Yongshou.

Approaching martial arts!

……

These news, along with the battle reports of the destruction of Jingzhou City and Li Shiji's raid, flew into Chang'an City like snowflakes.

At this time, Chang'an City was already in turmoil, and everyone's nerves became tense.

The ministers of the imperial court and the nobles of Chang'an City finally realized the danger.

All of them also lost the eloquence and eloquence in the court in the past.

Instead, it turned into frost-beaten eggplant and withered.

In the morning of these two days, some literati showed their strength and begged Li Shimin to fight the Turkic to the end.

Some people have begun to suggest moving the capital to Luoyang, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

Some people also began to propose peace with the Turks.

For these nonsense and words without nutrition, Li Shimin was so upset that he even stopped the morning court!

In Chengqing Palace, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cen Wenwen, Wang Gui, Du Zhenglun, Hou Junji and everyone were anxiously discussing the current battle.

And in Youzhou, Li Qiu's army was also ready to go.
