When Qibi Kele saw Nishu's disdainful expression, he felt helpless.
He knew that no one would believe this...
However, this is the fact!
"Uncle, it's not me who shirks the responsibility, it's the Tang army that is too ferocious! They have a mysterious weapon that can make earth-shattering roars and crack mountains and crack rocks. The city wall of Wuchuan Town is like a fist hitting a pastry in an instant.
, shattered and collapsed! The most terrifying thing is not only this, the Tang army's tactics have changed too much. Their soldiers hold fire-breathing iron pipes, and after every explosion, they will spray lead bullets, which is as powerful as thunder.
, the armor-piercing and leather-piercing armor is indestructible, and the overwhelming explosion of lead bullets as dense as raindrops is really..."
When Qibi Kele reached this point, he could no longer continue.
In front of his eyes, Nuo Zhenshui's own tribesmen were slaughtered by the Tang army like cattle and sheep. They were unable to organize a charge and had no power to fight back. Every time he thought about it, it was like a nightmare...
I took a deep breath to stabilize my mood.
Nishu frowned and remained silent.
He was well aware of Qibi Kele's character and ability. To say that he was Xue Yantuo's most powerful general was a bit excessive, but he was definitely one of the few commanders with both wisdom and courage.
When the Yinan Khan resisted the Turkic tyranny, Qibi Kele, as his general, defeated countless once-famous Turkic commanders!
Therefore, he believed what Qibi Kele said that the Tang army had new weapons.
But Nishu didn't take it seriously as to the power of the new weapons...
Are you kidding?
Apart from the power of gods, how can humans have the ability to break mountains and crack rocks?
The rain of lead bullets was overwhelming and indestructible...
Too exaggerated.
However, Qibi Kele's expression of lingering fear forced Nishu to pay attention to it.
To be able to defeat such a battle-hardened warrior into such a state, what exactly did the Tang army use and other means? What exactly did Qibukele suffer in Wuchuan Town?
After thinking about it, Nishu said: "He Li, I will send your message back to the tent and report it to the Great Khan, but I will not ask for reinforcements. There are 30,000 soldiers stationed in Zhao Xincheng, all of whom are my followers. They will follow me
It has conquered the Tiele tribes in the east and west, and has gone through countless battles. It is one of the strongest armies in the Khanate, only slightly inferior to the White Wolf Army under the Khan's account. It is also based on the city and holds fast, so there is no need to worry about the invasion of a mere 20,000 lone troops.
The Tang army? If we really ask for help when facing 20,000 Tang troops, I can’t afford to lose that person, for fear of making the tribes in Mobei laugh!"
These words were spoken with great arrogance.
However, Qibi Heli was speechless...
Okay, you have seniority and status, so you have the final say.
Anyway, this Xueyantuo Khanate is owned by the descendants of your Khan, and it has nothing to do with our Qibi tribe, so just do as you like.
He stood up and saluted, bowed and said: "This junior has been fleeing all the way. I am exhausted physically and mentally. The clan members around me have also suffered heavy casualties and need to be comforted. Everything here is entirely up to my uncle. I will leave for now."
Although Nishu was a little dissatisfied, thinking about the defeat and loss of his generals, he must have felt depressed and annoyed, so he did not criticize too much. He said warmly: "That's right. As long as I'm here, Zhao Xin City will be impregnable. Even if the Tang army has three heads and six arms, it can't be saved."
Take a step north! Go and settle down quickly and heal yourself. The Han people have a good saying, victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. You Qibi Kele fought for Xue Yantuo for half a lifetime to win battles. Is it possible that because you lost one battle, you won’t win?
Do you remember your past achievements? When the Tang army is defeated, I will go to the Yazhang with you to intercede for you in front of the Great Khan. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, I will chop him with a knife!"
Qibi Kele was very moved.
Nishu is the uncle of Yinan Khan. He is very senior and has great prestige in Xue Yantuo. He is also about the same age as Yinan Khan and has always had a good relationship. As long as Nishu speaks for him, not only Yinan can
Khan would not criticize him harshly, and even the chiefs and commanders who usually disliked him had nothing to do.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Qibi Kele saluted again and then withdrew.
After Qibi Kele retreated and Nishu sat in the hall and meditated for a long time, he summoned all the generals in the city to discuss matters.
"There is no news about the 100,000 troops commanded by the second prince. They are missing and are probably in danger. Now the Tang army has captured Wuchuan Town. The army has penetrated deep into Daqi and will arrive at Zhaoxin City in the near future. You must be prepared to meet the enemy.
.”
As soon as Nishu opened his mouth, the generals below were in an uproar and were shocked.
The second prince commanded an army of 100,000 people and went straight to Monan. However, there was no news at all. Is there any danger?
Wuchuan Town, which is said to "never be captured", was actually captured by the Tang army?
The amount of information is not huge, but every piece of it is incredible.
The 100,000-strong army under the command of Da Du was Xue Yantuo's elite. This time, they arrived in Monan. On the one hand, they wanted to force Tang Dynasty to agree to peace, and on the other hand, they were waiting for an opportunity to annex Chilechuan.
It is difficult to protect the capital.
The importance of Wuchuan Town is self-evident. Once it is lost, there will be no resistance under the Yinshan Mountains, and the desolate Daqi will have no one to rely on. They can only let the Tang army march straight into Mobei, Yudujun Mountain, and Langjuxu.
The mountains, even the Yazhang and Shan Yuting were all exposed to the attack of the Tang army.
At any time and at any time, Tang Jun may once again seal the wolf and seize Xu, and restrain Shi Yanran...
For the Han people, it is the supreme glorious achievement that all soldiers should pursue at the expense of their lives, but for the Hu people, it is a shame that can never be washed away!
"Commander, don't worry, with us here, Zhao Xincheng will be impregnable!"
"Yes, Wuchuan Town is strong, but after all, it is located under the Yin Mountains. The Tang army can attack at any time, and the logistics are very convenient. Zhao Xincheng is different. It is located in Mobei and is surrounded by scattered tribes. The old commander can give orders
Order all tribes to immediately send young men to Zhao Xin City to participate in the defense of the city."
"That Qibi Kele has a false name and is not worthy of its name. It is really stupid to be captured by the Tang army with the help of a strong city!"
…
Nishu raised his hand to stop the argument in the hall.
He looked around and said in a deep voice: "A arrogant army will be defeated. What's more, the Tang army has captured Wuchuan Town and broke into Mobei? There is no room for arrogance and carelessness. Immediately gather the troops and garrison them in the city to defend the city with all their strength.
At the same time, we sent out scouts to closely investigate the movements of the Tang army!"
"Here!"
The generals suddenly accepted the order.
Although everyone disagreed in their hearts and believed that the loss of Wuchuan Town was due to Qi Bikele's incompetence, Ni Shu was the only famous general in Xue Yantuo's generation who had accumulated great power and no one dared to disobey the general's orders.
Just one or two of them will inevitably give rise to a strange feeling - since ancient times, the barbarians have always attacked and the Han people have defended. Once upon a time, it was actually necessary to change the situation and become the barbarians to defend and the Han people to attack?
It's just ridiculous...
Nishu waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and do some work!"
"Here!"
The generals took their orders again and filed out.
There was only one person left in the hall, Nishu.
He ordered someone to boil water, took out some tea leaves from a precious porcelain jar, put it into a teapot, and poured in boiling water. After a while, the rich aroma of tea began to rise with the water vapor, refreshing the heart and mind.
He took the teacup and poured half a cup of tea. Nishu picked it up with his hands and took a sip.
The fragrant tea with a faint astringent taste passed through the mouth, washing away the fishy smell of beef and mutton. You pursed your lips, savoring the fragrance and salivating.
He slowly closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a moment, drank half a pot of tea, and sighed heavily.
Consuming meat all year round will inevitably lead to gastrointestinal discomfort and poor digestion. Over time, various problems will accumulate, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases. Seventy-eight out of ten adults in the Hu population suffer from varying degrees of abdominal distension.
Symptoms can range from skinny and thin at mild to life-threatening in severe cases.
No one expected that since this tea was introduced to the grasslands, the nobles imitated the Han people and drank it regularly, which actually greatly reduced the symptoms of abdominal distension and even completely cured it.
However, the price of this tea in the Tang Dynasty was extraordinary. Even if it was an ordinary low-grade product, not everyone could afford it. What's more, when it was sold to Xueyantuo by merchants, it was even more expensive than gold, even for noble chiefs.
Everyone, it is inevitable to feel pain when drinking it every day.
The Han people can always come up with a gadget from time to time. It may seem extremely luxurious, but it can often be put to great use and is indispensable.
Just like their famous generals, from generation to generation, there are always a few outstanding heroes who will bring disaster to the barbarians.
Li Mu, Meng Tian, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Dou Xian, Li Jing...
The Great Khan was right. The Tang Dynasty was strong and the Han people were intelligent. They should not be enemies, but only friends.
Want to make peace and do business!
I just don’t know what Da Du She did in Monan to completely piss off the Tang army. Why did he brazenly send troops to invade Mobei regardless of the situation in Liaodong?
