After a while, the woman was taken to a secret room. Two oil lamps glowing red were lit in the room, as if they would go out at any time.
"You have neglected your duty." A man's deep voice came from inside.
The woman endured the pain and replied: "Yes... my subordinate has neglected his duty. Please... please give me a chance, leader!"
On the seat, a man in black and red clothes stood up slowly, stepped forward and lifted her chin to sniff.
"With the aura of Zhiyang Kung Fu, didn't I tell you not to provoke that Yuan Tiangang? At least it's not the time yet!"
"My subordinates did not provoke him, but Li Yunxiao came!"
"Li Yunxiao? Is he in Bingzhou?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. His injuries were caused by him!"
The man in blood-clothed clothes frowned slightly.
"So, he also learned Yuan Tiangang's technique, and his strength is still in the Great Heaven?"
"should be."
The man frowned slightly, raised his arm and pinched his fingers to calculate: "It's strange, the Wu family shouldn't have talented people recently. Why is he going to the Wu family? Aren't they preparing to attack the Turks?"
"Subordinate... I don't know."
The man took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and asked, "Has the poison fallen?"
"No one knows about it, not even Li Yunxiao."
After hearing this, the man's expression softened a lot.
"Okay, your merits and demerits are equal to each other. This leader will not punish you. Just retreat."
"Yes! Thank you, Master!"
"Wait!"
"When you do the blood transfusion this time, find a young and beautiful one. You look really ugly now!"
The woman did not dare to refute, agreed, and left with the other person.
The man in blood-clothed clothes took out a compass and stroked it gently.
"Prosperity, after I break the overall situation of Feng Shui in the Tang Dynasty, sooner or later, this world will be taught by me, Xuantian!"
"I just don't know if Li Yunxiao... can tell... that her Wu family has the aura of royalty..."
After pondering for a moment, the man waved his hand and extinguished the burning lamp, and the surroundings fell into silence.
....
Five days later, the 10,000-strong army led by Li Yunxiao set up their flags and launched a mighty attack on Dingxiang.
When the Turkic defenders saw the Tang army attacking, they grabbed their weapons, got on their horses, and prepared to withstand the Tang army's attack.
Ahead is the pass of Dingxiang, but there are less than a thousand Turkic defenders guarding here, and they are overwhelmed by 10,000 Tang troops in a short time.
As the gate of the pass was torn apart, Li Yunxiao kept frowning as he looked at the corpses lying scattered in a pool of blood.
Watching one person die is different from watching nearly a thousand people die.
The thick snow exudes the pungent smell of blood, and the blood melts into the snow and flows down the lower areas.
Li Chunfeng and Li Yunxiao were in similar condition, both had bad expressions.
After an hour, Li Yunxiao raised his hand: "Stop, let the whole army rest."
Although the army did not put in much effort, it was still necessary to recharge their batteries.
The army made a fire to cook, while Li Yunxiao slowly looked in the direction of Dingxiang, seemingly deep in thought.
Li Chunfeng came over at this time and asked: "Are you thinking about those soldiers who fell in a pool of blood?"
"Um."
"That's what war is like."
"I know, I'm fine with fighting, but I'd rather fight somewhere else."
"Where?"
"The Japanese country, and some places we can't see."
"Brother Yunxiao has such a prejudice against the Japanese country, but because of the Xiaolou incident?"
Li Yunxiao shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with that. Anyway, as long as I develop good weapons, the first thing I have to do is to destroy them!"
Li Chunfeng heard that Li Yunxiao's tone seemed not to be a joke, and his expression became serious.
"No one left?"
"Of course I can't help but stay. I'm a very kind person."
Before Li Chunfeng could say anything, Li Yunxiao said again: "Kill all the men and leave the women to work."
Li Chunfeng thought he was being witty again, so he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Japanese country has hundreds of thousands of people, brother Yunxiao, it's better not to joke."
"I'm not kidding. You've seen muskets before. In a few years, people might develop cannons and more advanced muskets."
"If I could, I would kill them all in advance."
"Brother Yunxiao, it is a good thing to have better weapons in your hands, but can weapons only be used to conquer other countries?"
Li Yunxiao shook his head: "Not only that, it can also be used to measure the area of our country, the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chunfeng laughed: "It seems that what Brother Yunxiao wants to do is really ambitious and earth-shattering."
Li Yunxiao waved his hand: "Forget it, it may be the year of the monkey when everything is over, let's study the Turks first."
Li Chunfeng nodded: "Okay, does Brother Yunxiao have any good plans?"
"Yes, I think the battle report here should reach Jie Li's ears soon. General Hou and General Cheng should be ready to go. I'm wondering if it's time to make a night raid."
"Brother Yunxiao wants to create a time difference so that Xie Li mistakenly thinks that we are gathering the army tonight, but in fact we are arriving at night?"
"That's right! What do you think?"
"Hmm~~This method is wonderful!"
"I think so, then let's do this!"
After Li Yunxiao made his decision, when it was almost nightfall, he ordered his people to discard all the torches and run only by the faint light of the snow.
Nearly twenty miles away, Li Yunxiao ordered more than 2,000 people to stay to guard the horses, and the remaining 8,000 people followed him to attack.
The direction they are heading now is to the west gate of Dingxiang. According to the spies, this place has the weakest defense.
A few hours later, the army quietly reached within a few miles. Li Yunxiao went to observe the movements in the city personally. As expected, there were only a few patrols on the other side, and Jieli did not realize that they would come tonight.
Li Yunxiao took a deep breath and gave orders behind him.
The three thousand soldiers in the front row quietly stepped forward with grenades in their hands.
"Siege the city!"
At the command, the grenades in the hands of three thousand soldiers were ignited, and they streaked across the sky and hit the city gate like a meteor shower.
boom!
Boom! !
Bursts of roaring sounds sounded, and the sky burst into flames.
Li Yunxiao drew out the Longquan Sword and raised it high!
"Commanders, follow me and charge!"
"Rush!!"
"Kill!!"
Inside the city.
The people, whose heads were still confused after being blasted by grenades and whose bodies were stabbed by shrapnel, saw the shouts of killing as if the ground was shaking. Their legs became weak in shock and they immediately picked up their weapons and prepared to attack!
These guards wanted to hold on to the city gate with all their strength, but half of the thousands of people on the ground had been injured by grenades, and the remaining half had lost their morale. Within half a quarter of an hour, the city gate was shattered by Li Yunxiao's sword strikes. ! The Tang army commander marched straight in!
"Abandon your troops and pray for war instead of killing! Otherwise, die!!"
Li Yunxiao raised the Longquan Sword high, and his voice spread like a torrent in all directions.
Snap!
Click, click, click...
The Turkic defenders who had not yet been killed had already lost their souls and had no masters. They heard that they could still live and did not dare to fight. They could only abandon their weapons and crawl on the ground.
Of course, some of them who did not want to surrender were executed.
At this moment, a large group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared from the inside of the city and rushed towards the Tang army quickly.
call out!
Boo hoo hoo...
Before anyone arrived, arrows rained down from the sky first!
