Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan were furious in the Turkic camp.
Jie Li was so filled with hatred that he couldn't swallow this breath.
"No, I can't wait any longer. I don't want to wait for other small tribes to gather. I want to take my 30,000 troops to meet this elusive Tang army first."
Jieli said this, and other Turkic generals who were loyal to Jieli hurriedly complimented Jieli on his success and victory.
Tu Li sneered at this and said nothing.
Jie Li looked like he was about to set off, but Tu Li didn't say anything and turned to look at Tu Li randomly.
"Where are you, little Tuli? Are you just waiting here?"
Although Jieli called him a kid, Tuli didn't seem to have any brains. Instead, he was embarrassed to say it here.
"Great Khan, you know that I have suffered serious casualties. I haven't recovered my strength yet. The only capable warriors among the tribe are the same as the tribe that was defeated in the first battle. I don't have such great ability. I don't wait until I get older." The troops merged, and I went to fight them alone."
Tu Li said this, and Jie Li didn't take Tu Li seriously. "Well, since you don't want to go on an expedition, then let me do this."
Jieli didn't care about Tuli's child at all, so what if he himself was defeated? Although he only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses this time, he still had no less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in his camp to maintain his absolute right to speak.
Just when Jie Li Xiaoer led 30,000 Turkic cavalry towards the place where the Turks lost their troops in the first battle, Jiangzhou Li Jing got Xu Yunyan's battle report and read it over and over again.
"Is this true? This disciple of mine has such abilities. Although I know that his army has extraordinary combat power, it is not so powerful, right?"
Seeing a hundred men break through tens of thousands of Turkic tribes and kill about five thousand enemies, Li Jing touched his face.
"I don't have a fever. Since I don't have a fever, it's true. But this battle loss ratio of two hundred to one is too surprising. Even if the ancient sage and soldier were alive, he could defeat 10,000 people and kill 5,000 enemies. , it’s impossible for there to be so few casualties!”
This is completely a dimensionality reduction attack!
Just when Li Jing was depressed here, another detail came to report.
"Turkish Jieli Khan has gathered his troops and is heading towards the border.
They came to kill more than 30,000 people. "
At this time, Li Jing was even more worried. The soldiers from Huainan Road hurriedly and slowly arrived at Jiangzhou. However, they did not reorganize and reorganize the two units and went directly to the border to let the Turkic cavalry wait for work. The Tang army as infantry Totally at a disadvantage.
Just after Xu Yunyan's victory was delivered, Li Jing's mood that had just been made happy by the good news immediately fell into silence because of the bad news.
"Why is the truth so difficult? It's always so unreasonable to defend the country's borders."
Although Li Jing suffered from the inability to fight the Turks head-on, since he already knew that the Turkic cavalry was coming from afar, he could not remain silent.
A letter was urgently sent to Xu Yunyan, informing him that Jieli Khan had suddenly arrived with troops, and asked him to prepare early. On the other hand, a messenger was sent to Chang'an to ask for help.
Although Li Yuan made correct preparations, the water far away could not quench his thirst nearby. Jiangzhou was setting off for the border. With the itinerary of the Tang army, they would not be able to reach the border in two days, not to mention that all the soldiers and horses on Huainan Road were infantry. Soldier, how to fight against the Turkic cavalry?
Soon, Xu Yunyan received the news that the Turkic army was invading, and he couldn't help but rub his chin here.
"What we can do is to do our best to obey fate and buy time for the army to gather and encircle the Turks. However, we must also send many war horses to the mainland to convey the message. We must strengthen the wall and clear the country when it is time to attack the Turks. We must not let go of anyone who can seriously injure the Turks. Chance."
As the Turkic cavalry invaded the border, a large number of government soldiers gathered at the border. The residents on the border finally knew what was going on. Groups of ordinary residents fled towards the inland with their families and their families.
In Yanmen County, Northland, Xu Guichang sighed as he watched the residents fleeing inland, and persuaded them at the city gate.
"Folks, why did you abandon the city and leave? We are united as one to defend the city. The Turks are not good at attacking cities. How can we still not defend the city?"
Everyone looked at their new county magistrate. The rare good official was here to persuade them, and they couldn't help but also persuade Xu Guichang.
"Sir, let's go together! It's not that we don't believe that you can defend such a city, but the Turks are coming fiercely. Even if we defend the first wave and the second wave, if the Turks attack the city in the last moment, We are all old and young. Listen to my brother's advice and stop holding on here. Everyone knows that you are a good official. A good official like you should not die in battle, but should create something.
Bless the people. "
While Xu Guichang was trying to persuade these people here, a war horse specially designed for the Tang Army carried the Tang Army to Longmen County where Xu Guichang was located.
Xu Guichang looked at the messenger coming from afar and hurriedly greeted him, "I wonder what the purpose of this general is?"
Usually when there is something urgent, it is like this messenger, but this time the messenger is indeed not an ordinary Tang Army soldier. His armor is obviously slightly better than other soldiers.
On this horse was Liu Xiaopeng, one of the elite 100-man team under Xu Yunyan.
Liu Xiaopeng didn't pay much attention to it on horseback. He raised his fist at Xu Guichang and said, "My lord, I will come here to deliver the news on my lord's order. Thirty thousand Turkic cavalry have left the Turkic camp and are coming to the north. I don't know where they are." Will we divide our forces to plunder? I hope all counties will be prepared."
When Xu Guichang heard this, he couldn't help being shocked, and the civilians who were eager to leave swarmed towards the inland.
Xu Guichang sighed when he saw the civilian husband running away, but he politely returned the favor to Liu Xiaopeng who came to deliver the message.
"I wonder, General, which general is stationed at the border of northern Xinjiang? What kind of help can we provide?"
When Liu Xiaopeng heard what Xu Guichang said, he immediately responded with a salute, "So that this lord knows, my lord is Xu Yunyan, the captain of Jiangzhou Zhechong. Yesterday, he broke through 10,000 Turkic cavalry and killed 5,000. Now he is here." Camp on the north side of the Great Wall with your back to the Great Wall, preparing to resist the Turks."
Xu Guichang couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
"But that former Yunzhou Governor Xu Governor who defeated the Turks and Turks in Yunzhou?"
"It's my lord."
After Liu Xiaopeng responded, Xu Guichang was even more elated.
"It turns out that my brother Xu Ying has arrived, so we can wait without worry!"
Liu Xiaopeng was a little curious at this moment, "My surname is Xu, and my first name is Yunyan, not Xu Ying!"
Xu Guichang, however, touched his chin here and did not say anything to explain, "Please ask the general to go back and inform Captain Xu that there is an old friend of Xu Ying here in Longmen County waiting for the Captain to return in triumph, and then we can drink wine together." Talk happily, recite poems and compose poems!"
Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, the county magistrate obviously knew his master, and Liu Xiaopeng didn't say anything. He agreed and quickly returned to the military camp.
