Xue Rengui and other senior generals listened to Duoji's story and gave out loud cheers from time to time. They recaptured Tuyuhun, marched south to Luoche City, and fought against the Turks. Each one of them was so earth-shattering that it made people excited and yearning for it.
For a long time, everyone attacked the Turkic tribes and defended Yuegong City for more than half a year. They thought they were enough to be proud of the world. Compared with this, everyone realized that what they did was really insignificant.
At this moment, the soldiers put aside their pride and felt sincere admiration and gratitude to the King of Han.
Bursts of laughter and cheers spread out of the office and throughout the city.
The gloom lingering over every soldier in Yuegong City was swept away, and everyone's face was filled with smiles, especially when they looked at the Tibetan army, numbering more than 60,000, who were eating in the military camp. Everyone was full of expectations for the future.
At the beginning, more than 30,000 troops resisted the Turks' 3 to 400,000 troops, and they are still undefeated.
Now, more than 60,000 troops have arrived. Once they regain their strength, who can take over Yuegong City?
Or, great!
The soldiers came to the vicinity of the office one after another. Although they couldn't get close to the gate, it didn't prevent them from eavesdropping not far away. Those who couldn't hear what was said, hearing the cheers was also exciting, wasn't it?
After a while, Xue Rengui came to the gate.
The soldiers gathered around one after another, their eyes eager and expectant.
Xue Rengui knew very well what the soldiers wanted to know, so he came out, looked at the emaciated faces, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the King of Han has captured Suiye City, and only 10,000 Turks left to support Suiye City.
, everyone has seen this before, but now, the King of Han leads an army of 200,000 and is sweeping all the way over. They will arrive in two days, we are saved, the King of Han is mighty!"
"The King of Han is mighty!"
"The King of Han is mighty!"
"The King of Han is mighty!"
The soldiers looked up to the sky and roared with excitement. Many of them had tears in their eyes and cried with joy.
Although they had already guessed it, after hearing Xue Rengui's personal announcement, everyone still couldn't control their emotions. Some people even left in a hurry, rushed to the graves where the soldiers were buried, knelt down to pray, told the news, and let the soldiers rest in peace.
The whole city was shocked and excited.
Xue Rengui knew very well that everyone had been suppressed for too long and needed to vent. Whether it was laughing, crying, or drunk, there was no need to worry about it. If you let it out, you would be reborn in Nirvana, and your fighting power would be stronger.
"General, we finally got over it." Li Derjian came out and stood side by side, equally excited.
"Yes, I got through it. It's a pity that so many brothers died in the war. The list must be kept well. When the war is over, the pension must be in place." Xue Rengui warned.
"Don't worry, even if I die, the list will be there."
Li Derjian said solemnly. Hearing the roar of war drums outside the city, his face changed slightly and he reminded: "The Turks are beating drums and gathering generals. I'm afraid they won't be willing to fight! If there is a real war, they will attack crazily in the next two days. When the main force of the Han Dynasty comes together, they will fight."
They must escape, these two days are their only chance."
"No, they have no chance." Xue Rengui said solemnly and hurried forward.
The soldiers also walked out of the office one after another and followed.
Li Derjian caught up with Xue Rengui, walked side by side, and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean, general?"
"The chance of winning Yuegong City in two days is less than 20%. Normally, the Turks will withdraw their troops. If they attack madly, it means that the King of Han has cut off their retreat and there is no way to go. Not to mention that if the broken leaves are lost, the Turks will be short of food.
, the only way is to attack like crazy, capture Yue Gong City within two days, and then go all the way east, constantly passing food and grass along the way to replenish it, otherwise there is no need to fight, they will starve to death."
"hiss……"
"The general's words are right!"
Li Derjian also thought of the key, and his eyes sparkled. He couldn't do anything about Yuegong City for half a year, but it seemed like he had won it in two days. What was wrong with him?
The group hurriedly came to the city wall and saw the Turks forming an array. The phalanxes of tens of thousands of people looked like wheat fields, with flags and weapons, and the reflection of the sun became sharper and more solemn.
Duoji also looked at the military formation in front and couldn't help but ask: "General Xue, how many Turks fell to the ground?"
Xue Rengui explained: "The Turks are divided into pro-army and auxiliary armies. The pro-army is similar to the forbidden army. It is a standing army and the elite with the strongest combat effectiveness. The auxiliary army is often called string-controllers. It is composed of young men from all ethnic groups. They usually graze.
During wartime, the combat effectiveness was relatively weak. Six months ago, more than 300,000 pro-troops besieged the city and killed more than 100,000. However, our army also lost more than 30,000. Later, auxiliary troops arrived one after another, and the auxiliary troops survived the battles.
Some time ago, 100,000 people went to Zhiye, and 10,000 came back. It is estimated that the Turks currently have 200,000 pro-army troops and about 100,000 auxiliary troops."
"That means there are still 300,000?" Dorje confirmed.
Xue Rengui nodded indifferently.
Li Derjian saw that Xue Rengui had no intention of continuing, so he explained: "There are successively recruiting auxiliary troops from all ethnic groups. Today there are thousands, tomorrow there are ten thousand. At the peak, the Turkic troops reached 400,000. If it weren't for the internal discord, they would be wary of each other.
, preserve our strength, Yue Gong City may have been lost long ago."
"Will we continue to recruit auxiliary troops in the future?" Duoji asked.
Li Derjian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Continuous withdrawals will make the Turkic tribes unable to bear it. The tribes have no young people. Who will protect the tribesmen? Cattle and sheep. We don't need to fight. The wolves will be enough to destroy them."
"It makes sense!" Duoji suddenly understood and asked no more questions.
Xue Rengui looked at the sky and suddenly said: "The Turkic ladder has been destroyed. It will take some time to rebuild it. It is difficult to launch an attack during the day. It is possible to launch a sneak attack at night. Cheng Chubi?"
"exist!"
"The cavalry is converted into infantry and is responsible for vigilance at night. Take out the last bit of black oil and place it on the city wall. If necessary, attack with fire. No matter what, we must hold on tonight. As long as we wait for daybreak and General Duoji's men recover, everything will be fine.
That’s it.”
"Follow the order!" Cheng Chubi solemnly accepted the order and hurried to make arrangements.
Duoji hurriedly said: "General Xue, our army only needs to rest for three hours to recover half of its combat strength. We can go down alone. More than 60,000 soldiers are at your command at any time."
Xue Rengui felt reassured when he saw Duoji hand over the command.
Others also smiled.
If Dorje disobeys military orders and even seizes command, things will be in trouble.
"Thank you very much, then I will be disrespectful." Xue Rengui said gratefully.
"General Xue is polite. I am not familiar with the Turkic army outside the city. Taking command rashly is counterproductive. General Xue fought bloody battles for more than half a year and held off hundreds of thousands of troops without defeat. I admire you. Moreover, before leaving, the King of Han ordered me to help defend the city.
, naturally respect the general."
"Someone is coming!" Li Derjian reminded.
Xue Rengui turned to look, and saw a man and a horse galloping towards him. After rushing to the city, he shouted in unskilled Tang dialect: "General Xue is here."
"General, I'm here. If you fart, hurry up." Xue Rengui said disdainfully.
"General Xue, my Khan respects you as a rare hero in the world. I would like to grant you the title of king with a different surname. You will command all the troops of the Turks, be in charge of military affairs and conquests, be subordinate to one person, and be superior to tens of thousands of people. You will be the king of our Turks."
The beautiful princess promises you..."
Xue Rengui interrupted unceremoniously: "I used to persuade you to surrender as a general or commander, but now you have been promoted to a king with a different surname? Get out of here... If you keep talking nonsense, I will shoot you."
Others may be tempted, but Xue Rengui is a hot-blooded man who values friendship above all else. How can he fall in love with him?
"General, there is no need to be angry. If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them. As long as you can fulfill them, you will never refuse."
"Let your bullshit Khan cut off his head and give it to me. The general may consider it." Xue Rengui shouted disdainfully.
"you……"
The other party was speechless for a moment, and then shouted in a cold voice: "The general is stubborn and stubborn, so he will fight to the death and wait to meet the anger of the Turks. Don't think that with reinforcements, Yuegong City can be defended. The Turks have no way to retreat. They will unite and fight to the death.
in the end."
"Go away, don't force this general to kill the envoy." Xue Rengui scolded.
"get out!"
"Hahaha!"
The soldiers all echoed, showing disdain, confidence and arrogance.
After persisting for so long, why would you care about just two days?
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The soldiers on the city wall also cheered to show their prestige.
Duoji looked at everyone and couldn't help but sigh - what a great soldier!
