In Dingxiang City, the sergeants climbed onto the city wall one after another after breakfast and made preparations for the battle.
In addition to the full meal in the morning, Li Jing specially asked the cook to make a lot of steamed buns, but they were not white flour steamed buns, but potato flour steamed buns.
There is nothing you can do, there are a lot of potatoes, and most of the military rations are potatoes as the main food, with side dishes.
Making so many steamed buns is for no other reason than to give all the soldiers one or two to carry on the city wall.
I don’t know how long today’s battle will last. I probably won’t have time to eat. I carry two steamed buns and eat when I’m hungry. Only when I’m full can I have the strength to fight. There’s no such thing as rotating meals in these days. It's good to be alive.
This was also Li Jing's helpless move, but for the officers and soldiers, Li Jing's method was very good.
As for the solution of defecation and defecation, Li Jing does not need to think about it. It is difficult to live, so who cares about the problem of defecation and defecation!
Standing on the tower, Li Jing looked into the distance. Smoke and dust billowed from the distance again, indicating that the Western Turkic army was approaching and a severe battle was about to begin.
Fortunately, Li Jing had more preparations this time. Unlike yesterday, many preparations were not arranged.
When Li Jing was about to start a battle, the Jade Gate was closed, and Luo Zhang was also inspecting the closing situation.
Compared with Dingxiang City, the situation in Yumen Shuan is much better. Because of the previous big victory, the morale of the soldiers was very high. They were all like chicken blood, ready to fight again today.
You know, these are all meritorious deeds. In the previous war, many people have accumulated a lot. Once the war is over, after calculating the meritorious deeds, you can be promoted to captain at least. If you don't want to be promoted, you can If you give meritorious deeds to your children, they will get better preferential treatment if they join the army. If they don't join the army, they can also get a generous reward, which is enough for the family to have enough food and clothing.
Unlike Dingxiang City, Luo Zhang didn't ask anyone to make potato buns. He only had to stick to one city wall. He could take turns eating if he wanted. Besides, in Luo Zhang's view, this war could not last too long. , He can't afford to fight because of the consumption. His supplies, men and horses are not as many as Li Jing's.
All he has to do is hold on, relying on the wooden bumps and artillery to hold on for the time being.
In the morning, he had received a message from the flying pigeon, and his uncle was heading towards his Yumen Pass with a hundred thousand troops.
As long as 100,000 troops arrive, it will be time for him to lead his army to counterattack Tibet.
In Dingxiang City, Li Jing also received news from the rear. Zheng Rentai was coming with 150,000 horses. However, unlike going to Yumen Pass, Zheng Rentai had to walk a longer way to Dingxiang City. The time will be later. There is no way. There are no cars in this era. The most are horses. But no matter how many horses there are, there can't be as many as 150,000. Most of the soldiers still walk on two legs. The speed If you can get up quickly, there will be ghosts!
As Li Jing looked at the attacking Western Turks, he was also counting the time in his mind, wondering how long he would have to hold on to wait for reinforcements.
After yesterday's battle, his men and horses lost more than 10,000 people. No matter what, he could not lose many more men and horses today, otherwise he would not be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements, and he would have to be in the car first.
Although the decree stated that he would be allowed to evacuate if he could not hold on, the pride in his bones made Li Jing never take a step back.
The reputation of the God of War is not just talk, it is achieved through battles. Even he has encountered situations worse than today, but they were just a little difficult.
As the horn sounded, the Western Turks once again sent one hundred thousand foreigners to attack the three walls of Dingxiang City.
"The enemy is coming, cheer up!"
"Get ready, crossbowmen, shoot me hard. Before the enemy gets close, if you kill one more, you will lose one enemy!"
"Are you ready to roll the wood and build the stone? Don't be soft for a while!"
"Boil the oil and keep adding firewood!!!"
Behind the Western Turkic army, there was still the luxurious carriage pulled by eight horses. Around the carriage stood a number of soldiers in armor, guarding the carriage.
The carriage did not move, but stopped quietly in place. However, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and the scene inside could be seen clearly from the outside.
