Chapter 26: The Central Flower (Part 1)

Everyone knew what Li Longji was going to do. He wanted to dress up as a Turkic person, get as close to the Turkic as possible, and then start a sudden attack and catch the Turkic off guard.

After defeating Mojilian, there are many Turkic armors and flags here. It is not difficult to pretend to be Turkic. Li Longji's idea is likely to come true.

If it really needs to be realized, the benefits need not be said.

"The flowers in the middle of the Turkic period are blooming! They bloom!" Zhang Xiaofei raised his throat and howled. His majestic figure kept twisting, making him feel like a dancing gorilla, which made people feel disgusted.

However, Chen Xuanli and the others raised their throats to respond: "Duoduo! Duoduoduo!"

Not to mention Chen Xuanli and the others, Zhang Shuo and Gao Lishi, two newcomers who were on the battlefield were no exception. Their eyes shone, their throats were raised, and their faces were filled with joy, as if they were in the New Year.

As long as you are not a fool, you can understand the benefits of doing this. Who can’t like it?

In this way, all the three thousand Tang troops were replaced with Turkic armor, slapped the flag of Mojilian, and headed straight for Fengzhou.

Fengzhou is located on the south bank of the Yellow River. Facing Yinshan, it is generally equivalent to the "Jiuyuan" in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It has always been the forefront of the fight against the nomadic peoples in the north, and will be attacked by the nomadic peoples every year.

After the Turks rebelled, they always wanted to take over the Hetao land, but because of the existence of Fengzhou, the Turks could not firmly occupy the Hetao land. Therefore, focusing on attacking Fengzhou became the top priority of the Turks.

The Hetao land is south of Yinshan Mountain. It has a warm climate, long vegetation, and is rich in soil and beautiful in water. It is a natural pasture. Like the Huns and Xianbei, they once wanted to support this place, let alone the Turks.

After Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and destroyed the **, Emperor Taizong of Tang issued an order to move the Turks to the land of Hetao, which made the Turks grateful. Later, Emperor Taizong of Tang realized the huge hidden dangers of this action and issued an order to return to his hometown and leave the land of Hetao, which caused dissatisfaction among the Turks. It was just because Emperor Taizong of Tang was very awesome and the Turks could not afford to provoke them, so he had to endure it.

After the Turkic rebellion, it returned to the Hetao land, which was the first strategic goal of the Turkic.

To achieve this strategic goal, you must first win Fengzhou.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, in order to control the Hetao land, they built cities here. After Meng Tian defeated the Huns, he led his army to build cities in Hetao, one to guard the Hetao land, and the other to serve as a strategic base to store a large amount of military supplies here and shepherd war horses in the Hetao land. As long as the time is right, he can attack and attack the northern part of the desert. Unfortunately, the Qin Dynasty soon died and the city was abandoned.

When Wei Qing took over the Hetao land, Emperor Wu of Han ordered Su Jian to lead his troops to build a city in Hetao and named it "Shuofang". The construction of Shuofang City was of great significance in the Han-Hungary War and could be said to be of milestone significance. Because the Han Dynasty built Shuofang into a strategic base, shepherded a large number of war horses in the Hetao land, and stored a large amount of military supplies in Shuofang, which laid the most solid foundation for the "Decisive Battle in Mobei".

If there were no Shuofang City, there would be no such magnificent songs as "Shanyu Escape at Night" and "Fenglang Juxu".

This shows the importance of this city.

It is precisely because of the importance of this city that the Tang Dynasty has been operating Fengzhou and has built Fengzhou into a strategic base. Not only did it store a large amount of military supplies here, but it also moved a large number of people to settle in Fengzhou.

Therefore, although Fengzhou is a border town, it is not small, covering an area of ​​more than ten miles, which is tantamount to a majestic city. Moreover, the permanent population of the city is less than 100,000. One is the army stationed in Fengzhou, the second is the merchants coming to the border, and the third is the people who were moved to Fengzhou.

In border towns, it is very rare to have a permanent population of less than 100,000.

It is precisely because Fengzhou has such strength that it can resist the Turks' continuous attacks. Although it almost broke the city several times, it finally stood firm.

The city walls of Fengzhou are very high, several feet high, with countless scratches of swords and arrows on the city walls, which look scarred. Moreover, the city walls are brown, which is the color of blood coagulation.

At this time, Fengzhou was experiencing a bloody battle.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Teams of Turkic soldiers braved arrows shot like raindrops, climbed the cloud ladder and attacked the city with all their might.

"Kill all the hateful and hateful Tang people!"

"Avenge your revenge for Jie Li Khan!"

The Turks roared as they climbed the ladder, and their eyes were filled with hatred.

Jie Li Khan was the Khan of the Turkic country. During Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan, he was captured alive by the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty did not kill him, but instead appointed him an official, and he was offered food and drink. But there was one thing, that is, whenever the Tang Dynasty wanted to hold a grand banquet, he would come to dance to entertain him.

The Khan, who was a great Turkic Khan, was actually just like a gambler, offering people a pleasure. What an insult is this? It makes him feel more uncomfortable than killing him. Therefore, Jie Li Khan died of depression not long after.

When this incident spread, all the Turks were ashamed of it and were willing to avenge Jie Li Khan.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill all the Turkic dogs!"

The Tang army guarding the city faced each other and made a shocking roar. The scimitar in his hand slashed hard, the bows and arrows shot hard, and the Turks climbing the ladder fell one after another, with heavy casualties and many more corpses.

This bloody battle took an hour and finally ended.

Although the Turks' attack was fierce, it failed to shake Fengzhou, but there were more casualties.

Since the Turkic attack, Fengzhou has experienced bloody battles every day, and there are countless Turkic corpses. When you look around, you can see that there are corpses everywhere in the city, a thick layer. Moreover, the ground is already covered with blood-red mud, which is stained with the blood of the Turkic.

On the top of the city, Tang Jun's eyes were blood-red, very tired, and he was breathing heavily, and he was almost falling down.

"The general is here! The general is here!" Suddenly, a cheer sounded, and the tired Tang army soldiers suddenly developed a strength, raised their heads and chests, standing straight like a javelin.

A gray-bearded general, wearing armor, strode with big strides.

He is the garrison of Fengzhou, Tang Xiujing. Tang Xiujing is a veteran and good at fighting. I don’t know how many bloody battles he has experienced since he guarded Fengzhou, which made the soldiers admire him very much.

Of course, what the soldiers admire most was that when Wu Zetian wanted to give up Fengzhou, Tang Xiujing strongly opposed it, so he saved Fengzhou. If it were not for Tang Xiujing's insistence, Fengzhou would have fallen into the hands of the Turks.

Tang Xiujing walked, making a sound, very powerful, but his eyes were red, bloodshot, and his face was full of fatigue, and he was very haggard.

Fengzhou is the city that the Turks wanted to capture the most. This time, the southern invasion sent 30,000 troops to attack, and the troops were increased several times. By now, the Turks had already invested 50,000 troops in Fengzhou. These days, the Turks' attack on Fengzhou has never stopped. As the garrison of Fengzhou, Tang Xiujing was under great pressure, and he would not have been haggard.

Tang Xiujing had a smile on his face and wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but his pupils suddenly shrank into a needle-shaped shape, looking outside the city.

I saw a team of Turkic troops moving forward quickly with great fanfare.

"The Turks have increased their troops again." The soldiers' eyes widened, and everyone's faces were solemn.

The Turks had increased their troops several times, but the reinforcements they were looking forward to were gone, and the soldiers felt heavy in their hearts.

"This is the banner of Mojilian! Mojilian is the son of Gu Dulu, and his subordinates are all elite."

The Tang army in Fengzhou was quite familiar with the situation of the Turks, recognized the banner of Mojilian, and knew that these reinforced Turkic troops were the elite among the elite and were difficult to deal with.

"Brothers: No matter whether you are Mojilian or Mochu, we are not afraid! We swear to live and die with Fengzhou!" Tang Xiujing's eyes were full of determination, and he raised his right arm and shouted loudly.
