As night fell, the soldiers of the Western Turks had been busy defending the city for a day, and they all fell asleep due to exhaustion.
While they were sleeping, some of them were still awake.
Khan had been waiting for this moment. After all the soldiers were asleep, he quietly opened the city gate with his escort and rushed out.
Not only the Khan, but many generals who followed him also left the royal city with their families and wealth.
Outside the city, on a hill, where the west gate could be seen clearly, Li Jing stood on the hill, followed by Yuchi Jingde and other generals.
Although they agreed with Li Jing's opinion, they did not really believe that the Khan of the Western Turks would abandon the royal city and flee.
After waiting for a full hour, Yuchi Jingde couldn't help complaining: "Commander, are these Western Turks not going to escape? Didn't we put enough pressure during the day? Why don't you let me fire two cannons?"
Li Jing rolled his eyes at Yuchi Jingde and fired two shots. This was probably going to have the opposite effect.
While they were discussing, a group of shadows rushed out from the west gate of the royal city in the dark night.
Under the moonlight, the figures of this group of people are clearly distinguishable. Although they can't see who they are, they are definitely people.
"Commander, come out, someone has come out, is our plan successful? Leave this team to me, I will capture them alive!" Yuchi Jingde said, rubbing his hands.
"Why should I leave it to you? I think I can capture these people alive." Niu Jinda said unwillingly.
"You can do it, but I can't. I only need a thousand elite soldiers to catch these people!" Hou Junji also followed suit.
"I only want five hundred!!!" Yuchi Jingde became anxious when he saw so many people trying to take his job.
Li Jing smiled so hard that he almost couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and immediately ordered: "Jingde, you lead a thousand people to capture those who escaped from the royal city!"
"Yes!" Yuchi Jingde bowed and said, not forgetting to glare at Niu Jinda and Hou Junji.
"Jinda, you lead two thousand people to intercept their retreat. Don't let anyone go back to the city!"
"Yes!" Niu Jinda also showed a satisfied smile.
"Jun Ji, you lead five thousand men and horses to feign attack on the city from the east and wake up everyone in the city."
"Got the order!"
"Everyone must act according to orders, and must not make arbitrary decisions!" Li Jing warned again.
"Yes, Marshal!" Everyone bowed and left.
"The commander-in-chief will definitely win this time and capture the Western Turks' royal city!" Li Ji stood beside him and said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"Did you see it?" Li Jing glanced at Li Ji and smiled.
Li Ji nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief's plan is really clever. He can capture the Western Turkic King's City without spending a single soldier. I'm afraid the Khan would never have imagined that this was all your plan!"
"I just don't want this royal city to be destroyed. It's not worth using any means!" Li Jing waved his hand and said indifferently.
Thirty miles away in the Western Turkic King's City, a group of people were driving their horses and running wildly. Everyone looked very nervous, as if there were demons chasing them behind them.
Just as the group was about to cross a hillside, they saw torches lighting up everywhere, and a group of people blocked their way, blocking their way.
The moment the torch lit up, Khan was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. When he saw clearly that this group of people was really the Tang Army, Khan's heart became cold.
He couldn't understand why Tang Jun was here if he had planned it well. How did they know they were going to escape?
Is there a traitor among his own people?
But now was not the time to think about this. Seeing that the way forward was blocked, Khan did not stop at all. He turned his horse's head and was about to run back. However, a torch flashed behind him, blocking the way back.
"Khan of the Western Turks, I, Yuchi Jingde, have been waiting here for a long time!" A burly figure slowly emerged from the torch, and his dark face was impressive.
"You..." Seeing Yuchi Jingde, the Western Turk Khan's heart sank to the bottom.
He had heard the name of Yuchi Jingde. He was brave and good at fighting. He was a brave general of the Tang Army. He didn't expect that he would stop him. He wanted to run away, but when he fled, he only took a There are five hundred people in the escort team, and there are definitely thousands of people surrounding them here, and they can't run away even if they want to.
"Be good and surrender, otherwise I won't be polite to you!" He waved the nine-section whip in Yuchi Jingde's hand, and it hit the ground with a snapping sound, raising a cloud of smoke.
