Chapter seven hundred and seventy first convinced

After Li Zhiwan obtained military power, she led her troops to the west of the city to observe and summoned the generals to discuss.

Li Zhiwan said to several generals of the Zhao army: "The Turks came with power and would definitely cross the Wuding River to attack the city in the west of the city, so I decided to set up a preset battlefield here. What do you think?"

Chen Ke and Zhao Quanting immediately opposed: "Imperial Concubine, we think the Turks are more likely to attack from the north. If the troops gather in the west of the city to fight the enemy, if the Turks attack from the north, we will be in danger."

Li Zhiwan said confidently: "It is impossible. The Turkic soldiers are very arrogant. Yesterday, hundreds of cavalry dared to rush the city in front of the northern gate. Although the west of the city is not easy for the Turkic people, it is more convenient from the marching route. As long as there are more flags in the north of the city, it is enough to be used as suspicious soldiers. We must defeat the enemy in the west of the city."

After hearing what Li Zhiwan said, Chen Ke and Zhao Quanting obviously didn't believe it.

Li Zhiwan was unwilling to explain anything else, and said with a stern face: "Since I have entrusted the queen to lead the three armies, I will take on all responsibilities. You must act according to our military orders at present, otherwise you will be treated as a resistant order."

Zhao Quanting whispered to Chen Ke: "Let's listen to the Imperial Concubine. If it is not accurate at that time, I will question the Imperial Concubine again. Don't blame her now."

At present, Zhao Quanting and Chen Ke both obeyed the orders on the surface and arranged them in the west of the city as Li Zhiwan said.

The second year of innovation, October 16th.

On the banks of the Wuding River in the west of Youjing City, the flags of the Turkic army floated for dozens of miles, and the Turkic cavalry lineup continued to the horizon.

Countless war horses kept sniffing and spitting out their long breath. Jie Li Khan slowly rode his horse and whip to the city of Youjing, looking at Youjing in the distance. He said to his left and right: "I followed the Khan to Youjing in the past, and now I am here again. But this time I will not return empty-handed."

All the generals on the side bowed their heads and said, "I am willing to follow Khan."

Jie Li said: "I am not too greedy either. If Zhao State is willing to empty the money in the treasury and hand it over to us Turks, I will let Youjing City go. What do you think?"

When all the generals heard Jie Li say this, they all looked happy. They had gained something in Huaihuang and Yuyi Town before. Now, when they reach the city of Youjing, these Turks have an instant appetite.

Turkic general Ashidewu said to Jie Li: "You can get countless gold, silver and treasures without fighting. That's the best. This time I follow Khan, I'll make a fortune."

The Turkic generals laughed, and Jie Li also smiled and raised his horse whip and asked Zhao Deyan on the side, "How about it in Youjing City?"

Zhao Deyan replied: "Report to Khan, I have sent thirty memoirs to pretend to be Han people into Youjing City. These people are Han people, and they are not afraid of being discovered. According to the news they have spread, there are not many soldiers in the city. Zhao army even set off weapons and prepared to go to battle to meet the enemy."

The Turkic generals burst into laughter again, and some people said, "The Han people even prepare to fight for the elderly and children. It seems that there is no one in the country."

But after hearing Zhao Deyan's words, Jie Li frowned and said, "It seems that the Zhao people are still very determined to resist. Are they really not afraid of the 200,000 cavalry outside my city?"

While talking, a Turkic cavalry arrived quickly in the rear. A Turkic cavalry reported to Jie Li: "Feng Kedun, Zhang Changxun, Yuan Junzhang's orders to report to the Khan. The 20,000 Tuobao Han army in the rear were lost in the mountains, and they probably could not arrive so quickly."

Jie Li's eyebrows jumped. The meaning of Princess Yicheng, Zhang Changxun and Yuan Junzhang, was obviously not supporting Jie Li's attack on Youjing, so he used the excuse of delaying the march to express confrontation.

Jie Li thought to himself that, except for Zhao Deyan, no one of these Han people who were attached to me, the Turks and Zhao State were willing to get into evil. Humph, they thought that this would stop Jie Li. Even if there were only 20,000 troops, I would still conquer Youjing.

Thinking of this, Jie Li made up his mind and ordered the five thousand cavalrymen in front to cross the Wuding River.

At this time, just after the autumn flood, the Wuding River was very deep. Five thousand Turkic cavalry set up several floating bridges in the river and approached the city wall. However, after seeing dense Turkic soldiers gathered from the river, they passed through the houses by the river and approached the city wall.

The Turkic soldiers wearing gray fur coats were flexible in movement, holding bows and arrows in their hands and carrying scimitars on the streets.

At this time, there was no movement on the city wall of Youjing, only a few flags, standing crookedly. The Turkic army could clearly see that there was no Zhao soldier guarding the city wall, and there were empty sides. When we walked past the houses and searched inside, we found that there was no one in it.

Jie Li Khan looked at it for a while and said in surprise: "Impossible. Even if Youjing's troops are weak, they will not have no one. There must be something strange about it."

Jie Li said this, and the Turkic general on the side said, "Khan, my 200,000 Turkic army is approaching. I am afraid that the people in the city will be scared long ago." The Turkic general on the side thought so. Jie Li wanted to order the stop to advance, but when he saw the generals say this, he also gave up his idea of ​​ordering to withdraw his troops.

The soldiers of the Turkic army quickly approached under the city wall.

Suddenly, war drums were beating on the city wall, and countless Zhao flags danced on the city wall for a moment. Seeing this, the Turkic soldiers quickly hid in the house under the city wall.

Arrows were flying at the top of the city, and the arrows flew everywhere. At first glance, the momentum was amazing. The Turks were suppressed by the arrows of the Zhao army. After several waves of arrow rain, they could see the clues.

It turned out that most of the arrows shot by the Zhao army soldiers on the top of the city were not as accurate as they were either tilted or halfway down. The Turkic soldiers under the city clearly saw that a young man under the teenager at the top of the city, who was under the teenager, took a bow and shot arrows aimlessly under the city. As a result, he was nervous for a moment, and instead let the bowstring cut off his fingers and yelled on the top of the city.

When the Turkic soldiers saw this scene, they burst into laughter and felt that they were just a false alarm. At this moment, many Turkic soldiers exposed their heads from the house and shot arrows on the city wall. The Turkic people used a horn bow. Although they did not control the strings on the horse's back, the arrows were still fast and accurate, and they immediately knocked down the Zhao soldiers on the city wall.

Jie Li on the river bank laughed even more and said to the left and right: "It seems that Zhao Jun has really taken out all the old men and children to join the army. Such an ambush. Even if we come a hundred times, we are not afraid at all."

The Turkic generals laughed one after another, showing the contemptuous look of Zhao Jun on the top of the city.

Jie Li immediately ordered that all five thousand Turkic soldiers would be deployed. He threw the attack on the city wall. The Turks rushed to the city wall with a rope ladder and prepared to climb the city. Jie Li said with confidence: "I'll spend the night in Youjing City tonight."

But after a while, the sound of a catapult collapsed. Most of the Turkic soldiers were not sure about it, so they still rushed forward.

Only a few Turks raised their heads and looked at the city, but saw countless fire balls falling from the sky.

The fire ball quickly hit the roofs of nearby people and quickly ignited a fire. It turned out that the Zhao army had already placed fire objects here on the house. As soon as the Turkic soldiers entered, the fire ball shot out by the catapult immediately ignited the roof and ignited a raging fire.

The Turkic army attacked the city and was in chaos. Thousands of civilian houses behind the city wall suddenly caught fire and turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing that the retreat was cut off, the Turkic generals under the city also turned ruthless and said to the left and right: "There is only one way to die when retreating, either burned to death or killed by Khan as a deserter. There is only one way to live."

The Turkic soldiers on both sides heard it. Johe sounded in their throats, and a cold light came from their eyes. In such a desperate situation, they forced the blood of the Turkic people. The Turkic soldiers ignored them and launched a charge towards the Zhao army on the city wall.

The city wall has already replaced the archers of the Zhao army's county soldiers, rather than the militia just now.

They shot archers at the Turkic army under the city wall, and the archers and generals of the county soldiers were all relaxed. They didn't want their subordinates to aim and just pointed down. The densely packed Turkic heads under the city wall. No matter how bad the archers were, they could shoot with their eyes closed. The militia also carried stones and wood and smashed them hard under the city wall.

Wow!

The Turks were smashed and screamed, and they were bleeding.

However, they climbed up the city wall without fear of life and death. On several walls, several Turkic soldiers broke through the Zhao army's arrows, rolled wood and beat stones to block them. After they killed the city, they all brought a bloody storm. They pulled seven or eight people to the back, and were killed by more than a dozen Zhao army with swords and guns.

Li Zhiwan looked at this scene on the city tower and couldn't help but look slightly moved. The Turks are really brave and good at fighting. No wonder they can become the overlord on the grassland. It is really difficult to block the Turks with just these hurriedly trained militias under their command and a mere 10,000 county soldiers.

Only five thousand men are already like this, not to mention that there are still 200,000 troops outside the city.

However, Li Zhiwan's worry only passed by. She immediately ordered: "Enable the oxen crossbow, and then ask Zhao Quanting and Chen Ke to prepare!"

"promise!"

After Li Zhiwan gave the order, the rain cloth of Zhao soldiers on the city wall was opened, and the funiu crossbows with steel arrows showed a ferocious face. There were 38 funiu crossbows on the city wall. This was the first time they used the equipment after they reached the head of Youjing City.

Now all the thirty-eight Vulcan crossbows were launched, launching overwhelming attacks on the Turks under the city.

The Turks were crowded under the city walls and were about to climb the city, but they were all unlucky under the attack of the Funiu Crossbow. The Turks' skin shield, leather coat, and flesh and blood bodies were like paper in front of the Funiu Crossbow. A crossbow arrow aimed at the Turkic rope ladder, and actually penetrated the five Turkic soldiers on the rope ladder in one breath, and also penetrated a Turkic soldier who was about to get on the ladder to the ground.

The Turks were also flesh and blood, and even if they were brave, they would be afraid of death. With the blow of such a steel storm, they finally lost the courage to fight. They retreated now and would rather be burned by fire and smoky to run back to the Wuding River than to die of death on the city wall.

This collapse was only in a moment, and at this time, Chen Ke and Zhao Quanting had already led 300 elite Zhao troops to the edge of the moat along the sewer in the city.

They all held a single sword and were waiting for the battle situation on the city wall. Now, under the attack of the Zhao army's crossbow, the Turks were defeated.

Chen Ke made a quick decision and led the 300 Zhao army warriors who were ambushing the moat, drew their swords and rushed out bravely into the Turkic army's camp.

The five thousand Turkic troops did not know where Chen Ke and the others appeared, but they saw them chasing behind the Turkic troops, slashing and killing everyone. The defeated Turkic troops were defeated and retreated in a hurry to the bank of the Wuding River, and then stabilized their positions.

Chen Ke chased him to the riverside, and then he heard the sound of Jin on the top of the city before he stopped his troops. It turned out that Li Zhiwan saw that the Turks had recovered from the river bank and set up a strong formation, so he ordered Chen Ke to retreat, otherwise he would have lost dozens of people just now.

All the generals admire Li Zhiwan's ability to seize the opportunity.

By the Wuding River, Jie Li looked at the scene of retreating under the city with a blue face, but on the other hand, there was a cheer on the walls of Youjing. Countless men holding wooden sticks and big swords were cheering, and they couldn't believe that they could easily repel the Turkic attack.

At this moment, when Chen Ke, Zhao Quanting and others led their troops back to the city, they looked ashamed. Li Zhiwan was so smart in using troops that they were so ashamed that they thought of her decision before.
