As the Turkic cavalry approached Yunzhou City, a group of fast horses rushed into Chang'an City carrying a messenger with several red flags on his back.

"Urgent report! Turks invade the border."

The knight shouted as he rushed towards the palace where Li Yuan was.

Li Yuan, who had just finished handling government affairs for the day, originally wanted to take a rest, but unexpectedly, the messenger sent him such a message that made him want to run away.

"Come, it is said that King Qin Li Shimin has come to the hall to discuss matters."

After Li Yuan arranged such an order, Liu Heitai, who was far away in Hebei, suddenly received a message.

"Your Majesty, something bad happened. The Turkic Jieli Khan was not morally responsible and actually sent 150,000 troops to invade Hebei. I wonder how your Majesty would deal with this?"

In Chang'an City, after Li Shimin knew the whole story, he said to Li Yuan without thinking, "Father, this Turkic kid is so ignorant that he dares to come to the north to cause trouble. Please lead the generals of Tiance Mansion and Originally, my soldiers went to Hebei to pacify Liu Heita and repel the Turks."

Li Yuan couldn't help but shook his head when he saw Li Shimin mobilizing troops like this, "Now the Turks are divided into three, with 50,000 troops in each group attacking Yunzhou, Shuozhou and Daizhou respectively. You mobilize troops now, and when they go to the border, it is estimated that the Turks will The soldiers have almost retreated."

Although Li Yuan said this, Li Shimin still kept saying here, "Father, no matter whether the Turkic soldiers have been dealt with or not, or have retreated, we cannot let these Turkic soldiers come as they please on our borders in Hebei. Come on, leave if you want, I still want to deal with them and keep the place safe."

Li Shimin kept asking for orders to go out on the expedition here, and in Liu Heitai's military camp in Hebei Province, Liu Heitai felt a little embarrassed after knowing this piece of information.

"We have just defeated the Tang Army. Now if we turn around and attack the Turks, it will be easy for us to capture them. However, we are only an ally. If we fight against each other, the Tang Army will take advantage. What can we do? "

As soon as Liu Heita finished speaking, Liu Shishan said to Liu Heita from the side, "Brother, how about we think of a way to make these Turkic soldiers retreat again."

Although he didn't get any tasks, Liu Shishan still considered Liu Heitai and made suggestions here.

Liu Heitai nodded, "This is the only way it can be. Brother, check how much money there is in the military camp and prepare to send it to the Turks. Let them go back first. Don't come to our borders in Hebei to cause trouble in the future." , where does this put the face of our Hebei Rebel Army?"

After Liu Heitai made the arrangements, Liu Shishan nodded, "That's all we can do, but it will take two days to allocate money to the Northland."

Liu Heita sighed, "That's all. I just hope that our local army can stop the Turks a little in the past two days and don't let the Turks cause any big things in the north. Otherwise, even if we take over the world, We can’t stop the long talk."

Liu Heitai worked out how to solve the Turkic incident, and Li Yuan on Chang'an's side finally made the decision.

"King of Qin Li Shimin, now you have mobilized the generals of Tiance Mansion and their troops to go to the north to expel the Turks."

After both sides of Chang'an and Hebei were preparing to deal with the Turks here, the menacing Turkic legions outside Yunzhou City were finally exposed under Yunzhou City.

As the saying goes, if there are ten thousand people, there is no limit, let alone these fifty thousand Turkic cavalry.

Although Xu Yunyan kept encouraging his soldiers on Yunzhou City, the defenders of Yunzhou City still felt a little worried when they saw the Turkic legions with such a disparity in strength.

"Captain, there must be too many Turkic soldiers here. Can we really defeat them?"

A young soldier asked cautiously, but Xu Yunyan laughed.

"Now that the time, place, and people are all on our side, the Turks are still coming. Can't we defeat the Turks by waiting for work? What's more, we still have a strong city wall. Don't worry, these Turks will be rampant in front of us for a long time. of."

Xu Yunyan patted the young soldier on the shoulder before finishing speaking, "You are so young and you still have a lot of good life to live. Not to mention that after defeating the Turks, I should arrange a marriage for you and give birth to a fat boy as soon as possible. Be a hero like you and guard the frontier."

What Xu Yunyan said about this little guy was very enthusiastic: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely go into battle and kill the enemy. Let these Turkic soldiers know that we Han people are not someone they can bully if they want."

Xu Yunyan nodded with satisfaction, looked elsewhere again, and said loudly, "Soldiers, now is the time to defeat the Turks. You have all seen the treasure of defeating the Turks. So many war horses are not enough for you to live comfortably for a while. of?"

Xu Yunyan's half-joking words made the guards on the city wall burst into laughter.

When the Turkic soldiers arrived at the foot of Yunzhou City, looking at the garrisons on the Yunzhou City, a cavalryman who looked like a Turkic general took a step forward. The horse whips pointed at Xu Yunyan who was next to the banner with the word "Xu" on the city wall and shouted.

"Wuna Han will surrender immediately, otherwise we will destroy Yunzhou City and leave no one behind!"

After the Turkic general shouted these words, Xu Yunyan snorted coldly and waved his hand, "Bring me a crossbow." Xu Yunyan did not dare to try the bow and arrow. The crossbow was somewhat the same as the weapons used by later generations, and it could still show off a lot. skill based.

After a crossbow soldier next to him handed the crossbow to Xu Yunyan, Xu Yunyan directly aimed at the Turkic general in a standard gun-holding posture.

The Turkic general looked at the Han troops who were still indifferent on the city wall after he shouted, and shouted here again, "You must surrender quickly. If you surrender, I will give you a way to live, otherwise no chickens or dogs will be left after the city is broken."

But just as he finished speaking, a crossbow arrow shot through a bright light towards the Turkic general, entering from his mouth and exiting from the back of his head. No one expected this scene.

After the Turkic general fell from his horse to the ground and died, the defenders on the city wall cheered here.

Amid the cheers, Xu Yunyan shouted, "This is the fate of those who come here to invade."

The Turkic soldiers seemed to have been stimulated by something. As soon as a voice of unknown meaning came from the Turkic army formation, thousands of Turkic cavalry in front began to rush towards Yunzhou City.

"What do these Turkic soldiers think? Shouldn't they use ladders to attack the city? They actually rushed up on war horses. Do they think they can rush to the Yunzhou city wall on war horses?"

As soon as Xu Yunyan said this, Wei San next to him said, "The Turkic cavalry are approaching and firing arrows. Let's defend ourselves."

This moment made Xu Yunyan's face turn red with embarrassment.
