Chapter 1239 Surprise for Zuo Xianwang
Unlike King Zuo Xian who was furious, Dingxiang City was filled with joy. Due to the arrival of reinforcements, the entire Dingxiang City was as jubilant as a festival.
Especially at night, another 120,000 people arrived, making the soldiers in Dingxiang City go crazy.
With so many soldiers and horses, Dingxiang City is not just a simple guard, they can also go out to fight the Western Turks.
After all, after these days of fighting, the Western Turks' army has also suffered a lot of losses. According to calculations, there are only more than 200,000 people, not much more than their men and horses.
What's more, the Western Turks' army is exhausted after days of siege, but their reinforcements have high morale and high fighting spirit. In such a battle, the Western Turks' army may not be able to defeat them.
Moreover, the arrival of reinforcements also brought many wooden lumps and ten artillery pieces, which greatly improved the strength of Dingxiang City.
Dingxiang City with twenty artillery pieces is like an iron wall. Even if the Western Turks attack the city with an army of 400,000 people again, Li Jing will not be afraid. The power of the artillery is terrifying.
In the city lord's palace in Dingxiang City, all the generals gathered together, mostly to welcome Zheng Rentai's arrival and to cleanse him of his troubles.
The scene was very lively, but there was no alcohol. You cannot drink while marching. Of course, you can have good wine and good food. For so many days, the generals have not had a good meal. Most of them just gnawed away like the soldiers.
Ice-cold steamed buns and big cakes satiate my hunger, and I drank cold water when I was thirsty. How could we enjoy such a big meal like today?
After drinking and eating, everyone did not disperse, but stood in front of a sand table to discuss tomorrow's battle.
It wasn't until late at night that everyone dispersed to rest and prepare themselves for tomorrow's battle.
King Zuo Xian didn't know yet that the reinforcements from Dingxiang City had arrived. If he had known about it, he might not have stayed here anymore, but would have chosen to retreat.
It's just that it's impossible for him to know such news, and he is still thinking about the dream that he will definitely capture Dingxiang City in the battle tomorrow.
At dawn, whether it was Dingxiang City or the Western Turks' military camp, the soldiers got up early and prepared for a new battle. However, compared with the high morale of Dingxiang City, the morale of the Western Turks soldiers was low.
The battles lasted for days with heavy casualties, but the city could not be captured. Anyone would be depressed and war-weary, and would want to return to their homeland, because too many brothers who came with them died in the siege.
It wouldn't matter if the two sides fought to the death with real swords and guns. The most frustrating thing is that they were blown up by those artillery pieces without even touching the city wall. Their death was so miserable that they didn't know what happened until they died.
, died so mysteriously.
King Zuo Xian didn't notice this. What he cared about was that if this battle failed, his status would not be guaranteed. As for the life and death of the soldiers, he really didn't care. In his opinion, these soldiers were just his
They are just chess pieces. If they die, they will die. As long as they can capture Dingxiang City, their death will be worthwhile and valuable.
The sergeant finished reorganizing and walked out of the camp again. This time, countless Western Turkic soldiers walked out and could not come back. They stayed here forever and could only return to their hometown.
King Zuo Xian naturally supervises the battle in person. At this moment, he no longer trusts any soldiers. In his opinion, it is safest to supervise the battle in person. Only if he supervises the battle in person will the soldiers not dare to fight cowardly or cheat.
.
On Dingxiang City, Li Jing also arrived at the city tower early. Today he will give King Zuo Xian a big surprise.
When the Western Turkic army arrived, the soldiers on the city immediately became energetic. What was different from before was that there were many iron lumps on the city. These were the artillery pieces brought by Zheng Rentai, a total of ten.
They were scattered on three city walls by Li Jing. Except for the seven cannons on the west wall, eight cannons were placed on the north and east walls.
Today he is going to give the Western Turks soldiers a hard blow. The eight artillery pieces will definitely be a big surprise, and this is just one of the surprises.
Within the city, groups of troops and horses were also getting ready to go. Yuchi Jingde was now wearing heavy armor and standing next to Zheng Rentai. Behind them, there were densely armed soldiers, waiting for Li Jing's order to order them.
They will rush out from the north gate and kill the Turkic army heading west.
