"Since I have agreed to the request of His Highness and General Hou, from now on Jishi Road will be temporarily commanded by Xue Wanjun." He glanced at the generals in the tent and then stood up and said: "Order, Yanze Road Marching General Manager Li Chengqian's troops.

We have a deadline of fifteen days to overcome the Minghai Sea and cross the stars to reach Fuqi City. We can take action after completing the set goals."

"Li Daliang, the commander-in-chief of Qiemo Road Marching Army, led his troops to attack Mantou Mountain. Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Hezhou and the general of Zuo Xiaowei, led Li Daoyan's troops in Chishui Road to attack Niuxindui, and the other troops followed his commander to attack the Tuyuhun army guarding Kushan.

.In addition, Zhang Gongjin, the deputy commander-in-chief of the march to Xikai Road, controlled Shan and Tao two prefectures with the entire army..."

"I obey the order of the general." After Li Jing's order was issued, all the generals in the tent bowed to accept the order. However, when Li Chengqian was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Jing. The confused Li Chengqian had no choice but to continue.

Sit down and wait for everyone to come out of the tent.

"Your Highness, I know that something will happen if you are asked to lead the troops."

Seeing Li Jing rubbing his swollen head, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Duke Dai, where did you say this? When Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty put down the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, Zhou Yafu also restrained Liang Liang.

King? You must know that at that time, the king of Liang was no less noble than the prince of this palace."

Li Jing's head got even bigger when he heard about Zhou Yafu and Liu Wu. Neither of them met with a good end.

Forget it, you are making yourself uncomfortable by arguing with this young man, and then he said in a deep voice: "The old minister's Chinese army has some strong cavalry, and all of them are one of the best in a hundred. Let Dugu Mou lead it this time.

Among them, three thousand of the most elite people will go with His Highness. Remember to discuss everything with the Lord and do not take risks lightly."

"Don't worry, General. It's from Qian Province." After saying this, he bowed his hands to Li Jing. He knew that these brave cavalry were Li Jing's heart and soul, and they were usually very precious. They were always led by Su Dingfang.

If he hadn't had to attack thousands of miles away this time and his safety could not be guaranteed, Li Jing would not have used this strategic cavalry, so he deserved this gift...

Kushan Mountain is also called Zhaobei Mountain or Kukunoor Ridge locally. It runs from west to east and crosses the southern border... The snow in winter and summer does not disappear. It towers above the mountains like a silver screen. It is also called a snow mountain. Climbing to the top makes you feel like you are in the mountains.

In the heavenly palace, there are misty blue clouds above the head, and the ice is crystal clear under the feet.

A chain of high mountains is cut into two sections, belonging to two worlds. Below the snow line, there are thousands of miles, and above the snow line, it is covered with snow. The Tuyuhun people built strong cities along the mountain trend according to the unique terrain here.

Climbing from the east ridge of the mountain village to the mountain village, there is a mountain village wall made of huge stones across the ridge. When we get closer, we find that the wall of more than 100 feet long stretches across the ridge of the mountain village.

The village wall is very tightly designed, with watchtowers, archery holes, stone piles, wooden rolling platforms, etc. There is a not too wide village gate in the middle of the village wall, about two feet wide and about three feet high. The archers of Tuyuhun

He just took advantage of the existing archery holes to continuously tilt his arrows towards the attacking Tang army and miss them.

"Can't we attack it? There are more than twenty such fortresses on Kushan Mountain. If we can't attack them, how can we attract the enemy's attention here? Once the enemy discovers the actual strength of our army, we can calmly deploy our troops to encircle and annihilate Yanze Road.

what to do?"

Hearing Orphan Xue say that the fight should be fought, Li Daozong, who was on the front line, immediately became unhappy. He said that it was hard to kick him in the first place, but he wouldn't let others kick him in the butt three times.

If they can't give them the illusion that the entire Tang army is here, what will they do once the coalition forces composed of Dangxiang and Tubo people move north from Bailan?

"Xue Orphan, I order you to immediately kill the leader of the forward camp, Li Cong. In addition, I will give you three thousand elite soldiers. You must take it down for me before dark!" After saying this, he handed over the command arrow on the case to Xue Orphan.

in hand.

"Deputy Commander, General Li is a clan member. Besides, he was injured and still fought to the death. Should we give him another chance to make meritorious deeds?" This is not a joke. Let me kill the royal family members. Then go to court.

I won’t let anyone play to death from now on.

If Li Daozong gave this order before, Orphan Xue wouldn't even frown and chop him down. But it can't be done now. He is a direct descendant of Li Jing. After the Northern Expedition, life for this group of people is getting harder and harder day by day. If

If you are not careful, who knows when you will be kicked out of the military camp.

Seeing Orphan Xue's face in embarrassment, Li Daozong didn't know why he was interceding for Li Cong, so he shouted sternly: "General Xue, you have to remember that you are a soldier and not a politician in the court. Now go and carry out my orders immediately.

, if you can't fight down before dark, I will kill you like a boss, so go ahead."

"Promise, I'll take your orders. If you can't capture the city before dark, save your energy. I'll die in front." After saying this, he bowed to Li Daozong and then turned around and left the tent.

In fact, he really didn't understand Li Daozong's real intention. Not to mention whether Li Cong died or not, he was deliberately cultivating him by placing him in the vanguard camp. Otherwise, how could he have had his turn with so many talented generals under his command?

...

The Tuyuhun people kept throwing boulders down on the wall, and the archers kept pouring arrows. The Tang troops under the wall fell one by one. The dense arrows hit Orphan Xue's armor with a sound of nails, but

The brave general didn't care, and then roared angrily: "Soldiers, we must either capture this stronghold today, or we will all die here. Those who die are considered martyrs, and those who survive are considered deserters, and I will attack them all."

After finishing speaking, under the cover of the crossbow soldiers' rockets, he grabbed the deputy general's big shield, grabbed the long knife, and rushed to the front with his personal guards. Seeing that the general was not willing to risk his life, the soldiers behind also set up ladders.

Then he rushed up.

There was nothing that could be done about it, as the body of the previous general Li Cong was still cold at the back. Just like this, under Xue Orphan's desperate attack, the originally unshakable defense line was finally shaken.

The soldiers of the Tang army rushed to the top of the city like a flood.

An hour later, only one famous king and dozens of scarred soldiers were left struggling in the corner among the Tuyuhun people in the village.

However, that famous king was considered to be talented enough. Even in such a desperate situation, he actually proposed to fight Orphan Xue one on one to see who was the real warrior.

When Orphan Xue heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "What the hell, I can't lift the knife, or this kid is drifting." Then he strode towards the Tuyuhun people who were shouting, regardless of the deputy general's obstruction.

A moment later, Orphan Xue severely trampled the head of the famous king, then wiped the blood on his face and said to Wang Fangyi behind him: "Quickly clean the battlefield, treat the wounded soldiers, strengthen the fortifications, and prevent the enemy from counterattacking.
