Seeing the Tang troops pouring out of the city, King Zuo Xian was amazed, and he was even more surprised. Although he didn't know what the Tang troops were up to, the fact that they were able to come out was not exactly what he wanted.
The inability to capture the city for a long time made King Zuo Xian very angry. If it continued like this, he was afraid that the Western Turks would not agree.
As I said before, his army is not monolithic. There must be undercover agents of his enemies. The war here is not going well, and these people will definitely pass the news to their master.
Those people would not let him go easily, and would definitely slander him in front of the Khan. The final result would be that he was recalled, the siege of Dingxiang City came to an end, and what awaited him was the deprivation of his rights.
How can people who have tasted the taste of power be willing to lose it?
He thought there was no chance, but Tang Jun unexpectedly presented the opportunity to him.
"Hurry, the Tang army has opened the city gate. Charge for me, kill all the Tang soldiers, and seize Dingxiang City!!!" King Zuo Xian waved the scimitar in his hand and shouted loudly.
Naturally, the soldiers of the Western Turks also saw the Tang army rushing out of the city.
They have been holding back their nerves these past few days. Attacking the city is not what they are good at. What they are good at is naturally charging and fighting.
Now with this opportunity, the resentment that had been held back for so many days naturally had to be vented to Tang Jun.
At the order of King Zuo Xian, the soldiers of the Western Turks raised their scimitars and rushed towards the Tang army.
Because the army went out of the city to attack, artillery, wooden sticks, and even crossbows could not be used on the city. Once these things were used, it would be impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Li Jing stood on the tower and watched quietly, with a sneer on his lips.
How could he not know what King Zuo Xian was paying attention to? What he wanted was for King Zuo Xian to take it lightly. Only in this way would King Zuo Xian let his army attack, which would play into his hands.
Li Jing wanted to give King Zuo Xian a big surprise.
The battle between the two sides became intense as soon as they came into contact. Both sides regarded the other as a thorn in their side and fought with no regard for their lives.
Seeing that his army was at war with the Tang army, King Zuo Xian finally felt relieved. Just now, he was worried that Li Jing would make some tacit calculation or make some mistakes, but now it seems that Li Jing is nothing more than this. He is just dying. Just struggling.
If he stayed in the city, he would have to go through a lot of trouble if he wanted to capture it. Now, Li Jing couldn't even think about defending Dingxiang City.
Just when King Zuo Xian was happily thinking about good things, he saw groups of Tang troops once again pouring out of the city gate where no Tang troops had left the city before, rushing towards the Western Turkic soldiers who were entangled with his family.
The Tang army that came out this time was almost endless and continuous, which surprised King Zuo Xian.
"Impossible, this is impossible, how could there be so many Tang troops, how is this possible!"
No matter how stupid King Zuo Xian was, he knew at this time that he had fallen into the trap of the Tang army. The reason why the Tang army dared to go out of the city to fight was obviously because reinforcements had arrived.
A group of troops came out earlier to make him take his guard down, and mobilized all the troops to fight the Tang army. This was what Li Jing wanted.
He was afraid that his army would scare King Zuo Xian away after leaving the city, so he came up with this strategy. It seems to have worked well now. The first batch of soldiers who went out successfully held back the Western Turkic army, making them unable to escape even if they wanted to. Can't run away.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops and retreats!! Retreat!!!" King Zuo Xian roared angrily.
However, it was already too late for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops at this time. The Western Turkic army was already entangled with the Tang army. It was impossible to retreat for a while. To retreat at this time was tantamount to seeking death and leaving his back to the Tang army.
The Western Turkic generals who were fighting at the front were very puzzled as to why their prince wanted to withdraw his troops. Wasn't this because he had the upper hand?
These generals could not see the situation at the city gate. The Tang army was already entangled with them, and they had to concentrate on fighting the Tang army.
Seeing that he ordered the troops to retreat but his general did not listen to him, King Zuo Xian's face turned red. Seeing the Tang army rushing out and encircling him, King Zuo Xian knew that he was finished, completely finished!
The generals who had previously wondered why their prince wanted to withdraw his troops at the expense of gold also saw the encircling Tang army at this time. Only then did they understand the significance of their prince's withdrawal of troops. But now it is too late to escape!
