The night is bright and the stars are sparse,

Wei Xiaojie sat in front of the bonfire and ate horse meat, feeling very happy.

He was very satisfied with the on-the-spot command performance of the deputy general Zheng Jun. He could defeat the Hu troops in just one stick of incense. His ability was really good. Given time, he would be able to shoulder the important task of attacking the Turks.

Just when Wei Xiaojie was stupidly preparing to launch a fierce attack, the scouts rushed over to report the latest news.

"Informing the general manager, Zhao Deyan sent the Yi men of the Xueyantuo tribe to lead 5,000 elites to stop the attack. General Zheng successfully retreated to the valley to cover the separated refugees, and lost 300 brothers."

"Hi~!"

Wei Xiaojie took a breath of air.

This young man doesn't praise himself enough! This good news was so hot just after he finished writing it, but in the blink of an eye, he lost three hundred brothers.

This elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin's treasure! If one dies, one will be lost. Zheng Jun is a good guy. For the sake of dozens of people who don't obey the arrangements, he forgets that there are hundreds of thousands of people behind him who need to be resettled.

This short-sighted, womanly behavior still won't work!

"Where is the marching Sima? Deploy one hundred and twenty brothers and quickly support the deputy general Zheng Jun. After meeting Zheng Jun, I gave him a scolding. Even if the sky falls, I must guard the Hengshan Valley for me. This is related to the Tang Dynasty.

The future direction of war."

Marching Sima Cao Jie walked up to Wei Xiaojie and asked in a low voice:

"General Manager, there are still many strong people in this group of refugees. Do you want to recruit some people to supplement the logistics force? I'm worried that the brothers will not be able to stand the continuous high-intensity marching and fighting!"

Wei Xiaojie rubbed his temples, sighed and replied:

"Let brothers give it two days at most! We don't have any extra food for the time being, so we can't recruit troops. Besides, there are many Turkic spies among these refugees. Let's talk about this after I take down Tanzhou City tonight.

Let’s do it!”

"No~!"

Having said all that needs to be said, the specific decision still depends on Wei Xiaojie. Cao Jie followed Wei Xiaojie as a marching commander, but it seemed to have no effect. So with a wave of his hand, he rushed to the valley with one hundred and twenty cavalry.

, support deputy general Zheng Jun.

on the other side,

After the Yi men of the Xueyantuo tribe won the first battle, they became even more arrogant.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Be careful of falling.

"Kill~!"

Zhu Xu roared, igniting the Tanzhou soldiers and civilians who had been suppressed for a long time.

"Kill~! Drive away the Turks and defend our homeland!"

"Kill~! Kill these beasts that are destroying our home!"

The simple ladder made in half a day has become the spiritual sustenance of more than a thousand warriors.

Fortunately, Zhu Xu was not low in force and took the lead. He led dozens of elite cavalry and climbed up the city wall. He quickly killed the Turks by surprise and cleared a path to the city wall.

A fierce battle began. Under the moonlight, on the road leading to the city gate, the soldiers on both sides were furious. There was a corpse every step of the way, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere. The Turks guarding the city wall were more vulnerable than they imagined.

tenacious!

"Brothers, rush! Seize the time, quickly occupy the city wall, open the gate and let the general's cavalry enter the city!"

Zhu Xu kept roaring, and after a while, the sword in his hand harvested countless heads, and cracks appeared! But seeing the Turks emerging from the barracks, Zhu Xu knew that time was running out!

The space on the city wall was too small. Although the well-equipped cavalry led the charge, they could not break through the dense spear array of the Turks.

"General Zhu, please quickly ask the brothers to stand aside and let us break the spear formation. You can take a rest and seize the city gate. Brothers in Tanzhou City, listen to the order! The middle shield rises, and the crossbow arrows are fired! The big shield advances quickly, and the long archers

Projectile!”

At some unknown time, Sun Qun, the chief clerk, had also climbed onto the city wall. After seeing that Zhu Xu was blocked by the Turks' spear formation, he began to take over the command and issued a series of orders.

If we talk about leading cavalry in battle and the eliteness of the soldiers' weapons, then Zhu Xu can be said to be the best. But when it comes to attacking cities and villages, Zhu Xu is not as good as Sun Qun, the chief administrator who has been dealing with Turks for many years.

The Turkic generals guarding the city wall were still complacent a second ago, thinking that they could easily defeat the most elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, the Mo Dao Team, with just a group of spearmen advancing steadily.

Unexpectedly, Sun Qun was caught off guard in the blink of an eye, causing numerous casualties. In panic, the generals on the city wall shouted indiscriminately to the brothers responsible for guarding the city gate:

"Brothers at the city gate, please pay attention. There are many Tang troops on the city wall. They are not just two thousand elite cavalry. There should be support from other ways. Be careful of their crossbows."
