Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While Li Feng and the others were discussing how to deal with the upcoming battle, a very heated discussion was also taking place in the court tent set up in Yugu outside Dingxiang City.  Because, not long after Li Feng and the others left, they had already received news from Nanting, and of course, there were also very clever accusations.

    The tone of questioning in the South Courtyard was very angry, blaming them in the North Courtyard, why they couldn't even wipe out this small team of a thousand people, and let this Tang army sneak attack the grain and grass camp, causing them in the South Courtyard to lose five people.  Thousands of warriors.  Anyway, just one sentence: raise an army to investigate the crime.

    The 10,000 warriors responsible for the pursuit and encirclement were completely wiped out, leaving Yu Gushe bleeding heart and soul.  The hatred towards the Black Tiger Army in his heart was simply too much to attach to.  Ever since the Black Tiger Army sneaked into the racecourse, nearly 30,000 warriors died tragically at the hands of the Black Tiger Army in such a short period of time.

    Thirty thousand, these are all the warriors of their Beiting, and one-third of their Beiting's military strength. How could Yu Gushe not be heartbroken if they were just gone.  Every time he thought of that damn Tang Army, he wanted to bite his teeth into pieces.

    He understands the anger and accusations in Nanting very well. In his opinion, this is normal, and not so is abnormal.  He sent 10,000 cavalry here, but not only failed to destroy the Tang army, but instead allowed them to sneak attack the grain and grass camp, causing the Nanting side to lose more than 5,000 troops.

    If it were him, he would blame the other party for his incompetence and get furious if such a thing happened.

    But, now.  All of this is not the most important thing to him.  The most important thing is what he should do now.  All food and grass were destroyed.  In a short period of time, it was impossible to get food and grass.  His army will soon run out of food.  This situation is very serious.

    "Okay, everyone should know what happened. Now, let's put other things aside for now. Let's discuss it first. What should we do next?"

    After hearing the news, I saw everyone¡¯s expressions becoming either angry, surprised, or full of sadness.  It looked like they were about to start an argument.  Yugu established the horse and spoke.  At this moment.  This is not the time to argue.

    "Great Khan. Our food and grass are completely destroyed. In less than two days, our army will be without food. The Han people have a saying. The three armies will go ahead without using food and grass. Without food and grass, we will not be able to continue this war at all. We can't  , let me, the Turkic warrior, attack the city hungry. Besides, there is no need to wait until the day of food shortage. It is now. Once the soldiers know that our army is almost out of food and grass, the morale of the army will definitely be turbulent and the people will be panicked.  In order to prevent our Turkic army from falling into a desperate situation, I think we should retreat as soon as possible before the Tang army can react and before things get out of hand, Khan."

    What to do if there is no food and grass? There is no doubt that it is to retreat.  If we really wait until we run out of food before we think of retreating, it will be too late.  Therefore, someone soon proposed to retreat as soon as possible.

    "No, we can't just retreat like this. Is it possible that we are just like this, traveling thousands of miles across the desert to come here, sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of warriors, and in the end, we get nothing, so we just flee back in despair?  . I absolutely disagree, and neither do the warriors who died in the battle. If we just run back like dogs, I I would rather die here."

    As soon as someone said they wanted to retreat, someone immediately stood up and retorted very excitedly.  It would be a huge shame to run back in despair like this.  Every time they Turks come out, they don't always return with a full load.  But this time, not only did they not catch anything, they also suffered such heavy losses.  How will I explain to the tribesmen after I return?

    "That's right, we can't leave in such a dejected manner. Our tens of thousands of warriors cannot die in vain. Besides, our food and grass are gone anyway. Even if we evacuate now, what will happen? The food left at this time will not be in vain."  Not enough for us to eat on the road.¡±

    Immediately afterwards, another person stood up immediately and started talking. He was unwilling to leave like this.

    "There is no food on the road, but we still have horses, right? We can definitely"

    "Asshole, what did you say? Kill the war horse. Well, when the time comes, kill your own war horse first. Are you willing?"

    When I heard that someone actually said that the war horses were to be slaughtered, many people immediately became furious.  But the biggest advantage of the Turks has always been that they are good at riding and shooting, and they are basically cavalry.  They are very dependent on war horses. It can be said that war horses are their second life.  Of course, countless Turks also regard their horses as their most loyal friends and partners.

    Now I actually heard someone suggesting,?The war horses satisfy their hunger, and there is no doubt that it immediately arouses the anger of countless people.  And the person who proposed this idea immediately shrank his head and did not dare to speak anymore.  In fact, he just blurted it out out of desperation, but as soon as he finished saying it, he regretted it.

    "Great Khan, it is indeed impossible to retreat at this time. How can we explain such a huge loss to our tribe after we go back? The Han people have a saying, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If we go back like this, we will definitely let our tribesmen know.  Extremely disappointed. Moreover, although the situation is very unfavorable to us at this moment, there is no way to solve this matter. As long as we can capture Dingxiang City in a short time, we can solve everything with the large amount of food and grass in Dingxiang City.  Question. Also, have you ever thought about it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, the Turks, to regain our homeland. If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait until the Tang Dynasty pacifies Tuyuhun.  It¡¯s extremely difficult.¡±

    The cost of retreating at this time is really too high. If it is not a matter of life and death, no one would be willing to give up as a last resort.  Therefore, someone quickly came up with another idea.  That is, if Dingxiang City is captured within a period of time, all problems will be solved.

    "But Dingxiang City was captured just as soon as it was said to be captured. If it were that simple, why would we have to wait until today? There are still 40,000 to 50,000 Tang troops in Dingxiang City. They are not just paper."

    When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. Indeed, if Dingxiang City could be captured in one fell swoop, all problems would be solved.  But, think about it carefully.  How can it be done so easily?

    "Don't be anxious, everyone. Things are different now. Think about it, we have been attacking Dingxiang City day and night for quite some time. I think all the Tang troops in Dingxiang City are exhausted by now.  We can hardly move anymore. As for us, our warriors have been taking turns to attack. But at this time, if we come with a large army and attack with all our strength, it is still possible to capture Dingxiang City.  of."

    "Moreover. Even if we really can't capture it by then, it won't be a big loss for us. At worst, it won't be too late for us to retreat by then. Is it possible that those Tang troops still dare to pursue us?"

    Hearing the questioning looks from everyone, the general who proposed an all-out attack on the city immediately began to explain again.  Besides, if we really can¡¯t win, we can retreat.

    "That's right, Khan. This method is worth a try. We can capture Dingxiang City in the end. If we can't capture it, we will retreat. In short, we have to fight hard. I don't believe that the exhausted Tang army in the city can resist it.  We can withstand our all-out attack. However, our army has lost more men recently. If we can get assistance from Nanting, we will be more confident about taking Dingxiang City."

    After the other party¡¯s explanation, everyone basically agreed with the idea.  Anyway, there is no other way now, so just give it a try and gamble.  Besides, if you win, everyone will be happy and all problems will be non-issue.  Even if it fails, that's all.

    "Okay, then this matter has been decided. So, everyone, please go down and prepare first. Remember, the military rations must not be leaked to avoid unrest in the military morale. Now, I will contact Nanting immediately."

    Seeing that the people below all agreed to the proposal, Yu Gushe looked slightly better.  In fact, this proposal coincided with what he had in mind.

    To be honest, the person who is least willing to evacuate in such a dejected manner is Yugushe.  Not to mention, the loss this time was so huge that after returning, his prestige as a great khan would be greatly damaged.  It is said that the thought that has always been in his heart, to regain his old place and restore the glory of his ancestors, makes him reluctant to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity no matter what.  If he missed it, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to encounter such an opportunity again.

    Originally, everything was going as he wished. Who would have known that a small group of Tang troops suddenly shot out and made the situation so out of control.  Whenever he thought of those damn Tang Army cavalry, it made him itch with hatred.  However, at this moment, the matter has reached this point, and it is useless to say anything.

    Not long after, Yu Gushe¡¯s secret letter was delivered to Yang Qian¡¯s hands.  Looking at the secret letter in her hand, Yang Qian, who was originally in a very bad mood, finally showed a smile.  The content of Yugushe's letter is actually very simple. First of all, it is to apologize for the incident at the grain and grass camp.  Then, he asked Nanting to withdraw some more military support.

    To be honest, such a change was not the result Yang Qian wanted.  At first, she sincerely wanted to cooperate with Yu Gushe.  Who knows, ?The arrival of ??feng with the Black Tiger Army suddenly made this battlefield unpredictable.  Especially after Li Feng burned all their food and grass and Yang Qian saw the extremely powerful fighting power of the Black Tiger Army.  She then understood that things could not be settled.

    In her opinion, the one thousand black tiger army led by Li Feng is not as simple as a thousand men and horses at all.  Let me ask you, which thousand-man team can kill 30,000 to 40,000 enemy troops in a short period of time.  Facing 8,000 crazy Turkic soldiers, they fought hand to hand and killed them all in just a few strokes.

    The most important thing is that when facing Li Feng, it made her very complicated. In short, she just couldn't muster the slightest bit of fighting spirit.  As long as she can, she never wants to face Li Feng.

    At first, she was very conflicted, frightened, angry, resentful, and finally deeply helpless. But fortunately, she slowly calmed down.  She, Yang Qian, would never do a loss-making business. She knew that there was nothing she could do here, so she could only think of other things.

    After much deliberation, in the end, I could only make my decision on Yugu She.  If she could annex Beiting and unify the Western Turks in one fell swoop, that would be a great thing for her.

    "Dou Zhi, you immediately lead 20,000 troops to Dingxiang for support. Together with the more than 20,000 people there, they are all under your command. Haha In order to show our sincerity and anger, we will take responsibility when the time comes.  Let¡¯s attack the main gate.¡±

    After thinking for a while, Yang Qian immediately gave instructions to Du Zhi beside her.  As for the main gate she was talking about, it was the north gate that Yu Gushe and the others had been attacking.  (To be continued)
