In the luxurious carriage, King Zuo Xian squinted at the young man in front of him, sneered in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face and said: "I will tell the Khan about this when we take Dingxiang City. I think the Khan will I agree with what you said!"
"Don't worry, we Turks keep their word. Since you have a blood feud with the Tang Dynasty, you are our Turks' friend. If we don't help our friends, why don't we help our enemies?"
"Besides, you also made great contributions this time. If it weren't for your suggestions, we wouldn't have been able to take down the Eastern Turks so quickly. I will keep this in my heart!"
After hearing King Zuo Xian's words, the visitor nodded and exited the carriage with satisfaction.
Looking at the leaving figure, King Zuo Xian snorted softly. King Zuo Xian was disdainful of such traitors, but he couldn't stand it. He was strong, his mind was flexible, and he had the Hong Qing Gang as his backer, and Khan also You have to pay attention to him.
However, if you value him seriously, it is not the case to truly use him with confidence. King Zuo Xian said that he would help him. As for whether to help him, it depends on whether there is any benefit. Who will do things without benefit.
If Luo Zhang were here, he would definitely recognize the figure that left just now. It was Changsun Chong who mysteriously disappeared from Gaoguli.
It's just that I don't know when Chang Sun Chong got involved with the people of the Western Turks. If he knew that Chang Sun Chong was here, Luo Zhang was afraid that he would make an exchange with Li Jing about going to Yumen Pass, so he came to meet Chairman Sun Chong in person.
And Changsun Chong was exactly the capable person in the Western Turks that Li Jing had guessed.
At the moment, King Zuo Xian will not fall out with Changsun Chong. After all, as Khan said, Changsun Chong is still valuable. Based on his understanding of the Tang Dynasty, he must be treated well until Dingxiang City is captured. , whether to continue to cooperate with Changsun Chong is another matter.
The army rushed towards Dingxiang City in an orderly manner, and the vanguard army had arrived less than five miles away from Dingxiang City.
Li Jing, who was on the city wall, could already see the Turkic army outside Dingxiang City, but it was still a black spot, but there were a lot of black spots, densely packed from a distance, bringing up dust all over the sky.
"The whole army is on alert, the enemy is coming!!!" Li Jing immediately gave the order.
Shouts and shouts rang out on the city wall. They were all from the guards passing orders to the captain, and the captain was passing orders to a famous soldier under his command.
The soldiers would be lying if they said they were not nervous. They also saw the black spots in the distance.
Many of these soldiers and horses had not participated in the war with the Turks. Most of the soldiers who had participated in the Turkic War and the Gogouli War had already gone home.
The military system of the Tang Dynasty was like this. Once there was no war, the soldiers became common people. Once they were recruited, the common people could immediately arm themselves and become tough soldiers.
There are advantages and disadvantages to doing this. The advantage is that the fields will not be abandoned. The disadvantage is that it takes time to gather troops and horses immediately.
The war in the north and west was about to break out. It was impossible to gather troops in a short period of time. Most of the troops sent out were troops drawn from surrounding areas and garrisons. Many of them had never even been on the battlefield.
Li Jing had no choice but to make do with it first and hold on to Dingxiang City. He believed that subsequent reinforcements would arrive soon.
"Tell the soldiers, if the enemy is close to the city wall, don't rush to use the wooden knots. It will be better to wait until the enemies are densely packed!"
"First use rolling logs, rocks, kerosene, and crossbows to block it!" Li Jing remembered what Luo Zhang had said to him before leaving, and hurriedly ordered his hands to go down and deliver the order.
The messenger went down again to deliver the order.
It would be a lie to say that Li Jing is not nervous. The Western Turks have 400,000 troops and horses, but his troops are less than 100,000. Although he is defending the city, these 100,000 are not elite soldiers, but a mixed team. , the combat effectiveness is several levels lower than that of elite soldiers.
But that’s all it can do now!
Seeing the Turks approaching, the order on the city wall shouted again.
"The whole army is on alert. The enemy is coming. Keep your spirits up. As soon as the enemy gets close, shoot me hard!"
"Have you finished burning the boiling oil? If it's not done, add more fire. You'll give the enemy a hairless pig!"
"I have also prepared rolling logs and stones. Any enemy who dares to approach the city wall will be hit hard by me!"
...
"The enemy's arrow array is coming, everyone take cover!"
"Whoosh whoosh!!!"
