On top of the city tower in Dingxiang City, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the retreating Western Turkic army. This was only the first day and it was so difficult. It was hard to imagine how difficult it would be tomorrow.

But that is what we should think about tomorrow. After the enemy retreats, the Tang army cannot be idle. Statistics of various battle losses, ordnance, and supplies must be reported and supplemented as soon as possible.

When Li Jing heard the figures of battle losses, he couldn't help but fell silent.

If we look at the initial results, the battle losses in Dingxiang City will not be that high.

But after an indiscriminate attack on the west wall, the Tang army resisting the west wall suffered as many as 8,000 casualties at the end of the day.

You must know that the entire Dingxiang City has only 100,000 troops, and 8,000 were lost in battle, which is almost one-tenth.

Although the enemy's losses were at least twice theirs, they could not withstand the huge number of enemies, a total of 400,000 troops.

Losing 20,000 to 30,000 people in battle was nothing to them, but that was not the case for him. If 20,000 to 30,000 people were lost in battle, the city would not be able to defend it at all.

Fortunately, he survived the first day, but Mu Qiao Da and the artillery were not used. These two killers, Li Jing was naturally prepared to use them again when the enemy attacked on a large scale, striving to inflict heavy damage on the enemy with one blow. He took advantage of this opportunity to pursue the victory, just like

Luo Zhang used this method when he was guarding Jian'an City.

Li Jing is also prepared to follow suit!

Dingxiang City was repairing fortifications and treating the wounded, while twenty miles away, the Western Turkic camp was stationed here.

Ordinary Western Turks have started to make fires and cook food. In the Western Turks' central army tent, King Zuo Xian is sitting on the throne. Below him are the Western Turks generals. Of course, there is an uninvited guest.

Changsun Chong.

As an outsider, Changsun Chong was only ranked at the bottom. This was because Changsun Chong had merit and was given the position. Otherwise, in his opinion, a Tang man would not be qualified to sit here.

Not only did he think so, the other generals of the Western Turks also looked at Changsun Chong with disdain.

Even if Changsun Chong has a great reason, it is not a reason to betray his own country. If he betrays his ancestors, what can't such a person do?

Naturally, they will not be welcomed by the Western Turks!

Changsun Chong didn't take it seriously either. He had suffered countless glares over the years. He had long lost the righteous indignation and courage he had at the beginning. Some of them were dormant, and some were low-key.

Hide in the dark and deliver a fatal blow to your enemy.

Just like that time in Gaoguli, if there were not so many people helping Luo Zhang, Luo Zhang would have died in his hands instead of being defeated by everyone!

This is Changsun Chong's forbearance!

This time too, he was holding back in order to rely on the Western Turks to defeat the Tang army and then launch an attack on the Tang Dynasty!

"In today's battle, our losses were considerable, but they were all within my expectations, but..."

The person who spoke was naturally King Zuo Xian. When he said yes, King Zuo Xian paused, glanced at Changsun Chong, and continued: "But the casualties are still not small! Although they are all aliens, if these aliens are

If they are all dead, we Western Turks will have to go into battle in person. Besides, if they are all dead, I will not be able to explain to the Khan!"

The generals of the Western Turks naturally heard that there was something in King Zuo Xian's words.

Several people also looked at Changsun Chong. In today's battle, the combined losses on the east and north city walls were not as much as Changsun Chong. It was Changsun Chong that King Zuo Xian was talking about.

"Although those people are foreigners, they at least obey us and are considered our vassals. At least their fathers or mothers are our Turks, but a Han commanded them to attack the city and did not regard them as human beings at all.

When he was attacking the city, he actually ordered the archers to shoot. This was a massacre, a massacre of his own people!"

"That's right, this kind of person has no right to sit here, King Zuo Xian, I think he should be driven away!"

"Kick him away? That would be too easy for him. We have to let him know the consequences of trapping me, the Western Turks!!!"

King Zuo Xian listened to the words of the generals below, with a slight smile on his lips, and glanced at Changsun Chong again.

What surprised him was that Changsun Chong had no expression on his face, as if he was not talking about him.

This made King Zuo Xian stunned, and thought to himself that this is such a deep city!

This was indeed the case. Changsun Chong didn't care about these people's words at all, and treated these people's words as if they were farts.

If these people want to drive him away, they have to ask the Western Turks Khan if he is willing!

His arrival was not just a single-handed move, but came with benefits, otherwise how could he be assigned here by the Khan.

It is impossible not to pay the price, just to participate in the attack on Datang.
