Chapter 76: Take Black Sand City Lightly
Mochu rode on the horse, his face turned gloomy and he was very unhappy.
He led more than 100,000 elite troops to come, with a fierce momentum, and he seemed to not stop until Li Longji was destroyed. However, what he could not expect was that he had not even encountered Li Longji's shadow, which made him extremely dissatisfied.
"Is there any news about Li Longji?" Mochuo asked loudly.
"Report to Khan, there is no such thing." Shiyugu hurriedly replied.
Mo Chuo's eyes were fierce and he shouted like thunder: "It's been several days, and there's no news about Li Longji. What are you doing? Have you gone to pee?"
Li Longji ruined his good things several times and even killed Tuoxi, making Mochu angry and would never give up until he destroyed Li Longji. However, after all the troubles, he had not even seen Li Longji's shadow, and he hated him so much.
"Khan, really, no." Shiyugu had to suppress his fear and said, "Khan, think about it, Li Longji is as cunning as a fox. Khan, you personally fight for the war. Will he wait for death? Li Longji must have hidden it."
"Yeah." Although Mochuo was angry, he knew that this was reasonable. If Li Longji knew that he could not beat him and wanted to fight, it would not be Li Longji. It is reasonable to hide and prevent Mochu from finding him.
"Then you have to find it for Ben Khan," Mochu roared, "You can find it for Ben Khan within three days, otherwise, hum!"
A cold snorted, like thunder, and a sudden thunder in the Shiyu Valley was shocked.
Under the high pressure of Mochu, a large number of Turkic scouts were sent out to search for Li Longji everywhere.

At this time, Li Longji had already arrived fifty miles north of Heisha City.
After continuous march, the Tang army was already very tired. Even Li Longji looked tired. The Night Lion King was fine under his crotch. He just showed a little fatigue. Even the Arab horse, known as the most endurance world, showed fatigue, which shows how tired it is to hurry up.
"King of Chu, you should take a break and then launch an attack." Zhang Shi looked tired and gasped, "Although Mochu took away the elites in his headquarters, Heisha City is the location of Nanya after all, and there are still Turkic troops stationed. If we kill them now, it will be detrimental to us."
"Yes, King Chu." Chen Xuanli agreed with this and said, "While we rest and send people to inquire, both of us."
"Okay." Li Longji knew they were right and said, "Just rest for an hour. Release the scouts and inquire more. You must find out the reality of the Black Sand City."
"Don't worry, King Chu, I will do it well." Pei Xiaoke, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, patted his chest and promised.
Pei Xiaoke is indeed a good at inquiring about the news, and Li Longji was able to roam the desert. Pei Xiaoke made great contributions.
With an order, the Tang army stopped to rest and set off a warning sentry.
It was really tiring to march for two or three hundred miles in a row. Many Tang soldiers fell asleep as soon as they rested, and the sound of snoring was heard.
"Take a nap." Li Longji was also sleepy, resting his head on Zhaoye Lion King's belly, and took a nap.
After taking a nap, he fell asleep and was sleeping soundly. Li Longji was woken up.
"King of Chu, you have figured it out." Pei Xiaoke woke Li Longji up and reported the military information, saying, "There are only a few thousand Turkic troops stationed in Heisha City. They didn't know that we were here and had no defense. If we arrived, we would definitely be able to capture Heisha City."
"That's great." Li Longji was greatly excited.
Since the Turks rebelled, Heisha City has been occupied. Gu Dulu put "Nanya" here and Mochu put "Taits" here. Heisha City is actually the location of the Turkish capital. The Tang Dynasty tried many times and worked hard for it, but in the end it ended in failure.
If Li Longji could capture Heisha City, this would be a huge good news and a heavy blow to the Turks.
Thinking of this beautiful result, Li Longji wanted to sing loudly.
"It's still the wise king of Chu." Zhang said they were convinced and said, "If the King of Chu hadn't insisted, we wouldn't have been here."
At first, Li Longji proposed to attack Heisha City, and Zhang said that they had many concerns. It was under Li Longji's insistence that this surprise attack was made. Facts proved that Li Longji's judgment was very accurate. The Tang army was only fifty miles away from Heisha City, and the Turks were not prepared yet.
"It's just one thing. There are many Turkic camps outside Heisha City, and there are tens of thousands of Turkic herders here." Pei Xiaoke raised his eyebrows and said, "They can stop us from moving forward and will make the city prepare."
As the actual capital of the Turks, it is normal for Heisha City to have a large number of herders here. However, they will block the Tang army's advance. If the Tang army launches an attack, they will become an obstacle to the Tang army's attack.
"This is easy to deal with." Zhang Shi raised his eyebrows and gave an idea, saying, "We don't care about these herdsmen, as long as we don't block our way."
"That's right." Chen Xuanli added, saying: "We can draw an army to open the way for the army. If the Turkic herders want to attack us, they will deal with it."
"So good!" Li Longji agreed with this.
To invade Heisha City before the Turks react, it will take time to prevent them from being entangled by Turkic herdsmen. It is necessary to send an army to deal with these herdsmen.
"Leave this matter to Chen Xuanli." Li Longji ordered it.
"King of Chu, please rest assured, I will complete it." Chen Xuanli shouted to accept the order.
"First use some fighting meal, take a break and attack." Li Longji ordered again.
With a command, the Tang army began to use war meals. This was war meals before the war. You should not eat too much, just 70% full, and then you will have a rest.
After Li Longji used the battle, he rested while tidying up his equipment.
It was probably two quarters of an hour before Li Longji flew on his horse and ordered loudly: "Get together!"
The Tang army was armed with helmets and armor, riding a horse, and began to line up. The Tang army was well-trained and arranged the array very quickly. In just a short while, it formed a formation.
Li Longji rode the Zhaoye Lion King to the front and scan the army. He saw that the soldiers all raised their heads and chests, with a high fighting spirit. He was very satisfied and began to speak, saying, "Brothers: I guess you already know where we are. You are right, we came to Heisha City! In front of us is the Turkic nest. Heisha City!"
"Long live! Long live!" Tang Jun burst into a shocking roar.
When we arrived at Heisha City, we wanted to take down Heisha City. This was the long-cherished wish of the Tang Dynasty over the past decade. It was about to be fulfilled and it was to be fulfilled by ourselves. The soldiers were happy and all shouted loudly.
"Since the Turks rebelled ten years ago, the Turks have been entrenched in Heisha City. The imperial court sent troops many times to capture Heisha City, but they all failed in the end." Li Longji raised his eyebrows, turned his voice high, and shouted loudly: "Today, we will create history with our own hands and conquer Heisha City! Destroy the Turks!"
"Capture the Black Sand City!"
"Destroy the Turks!"
The soldiers burst into shocking roars, shaking the sky and the ground was trembling.
The Tang people's dream of conquering Heisha City and destroying the Turks have always been the dream of the Tang people. When Li Longji said this, they all felt energetic. There was a strong sense of fighting in their eyes.
"Set out!" Li Longji slapped the horse's back, and Zhaoye Lion King neighed and took the lead.
"Rumor!" The soldiers followed, and the sound of hoofs burst out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The herdsmen rode horses, sang pastoral songs, drove cattle and sheep, and the pastoral songs were melodious and peaceful.
"Look, what is that?" Suddenly, a herder pointed to the north and screamed.
I saw a huge dark cloud appearing in the north, connecting the sky and the earth, floating quickly, giving people a sense of depression.
"It's clouds rising, it's going to rain?" Some herders were very surprised.
"It's not that clouds are rising. Today, the sky is clear and there is no cloud, and it won't rain." The herdsman looked up at the sky and saw the sun shining brightly, without a cloud.
"How could such a change?" The herdsman was puzzled.
"Rumor!" Just then, a faint roar came and the ground was trembling.
"The sound of hoofs! It's the sound of hoofs!" The herdsmen were so familiar with the sound of hoofs that they could hear it as soon as they heard it.
"Listen to the sound of hooves, a large army is coming towards Heisha City, our army."
"Is there any need to say? It must be that the warriors of the Great Turks won the battle and returned triumphantly."
The Turkic herders had absolute confidence in this, all of whom opened their eyes wide and looked at the north desperately.
Sure enough, a black waterline was beautiful and smooth, and was coming quickly.
This waterline came very quickly, and in just one breath, I could see clearly that this was a large army, judging from the flags they were flying, this was the Tang army.
"Tang Army? How did the Tang Army come here?"
"Don't talk nonsense! This is Heisha City. It's been more than ten years since the Tang army has gone on. How could it be the Tang army? It must be the warriors of the Great Turks who won a great victory, wearing the armor of the Tang army and under the banner of the Tang army."
"Yes! Yes! That must be true!"
The Tang Dynasty attacked Heisha City many times, but all ended in failure. The Tang army had never been to Heisha City. It was difficult for the Turkic herdsmen to believe that this was the Tang army.
"Wow, Mingguang Armor! So many Mingguang Armors!"
"The warriors of the Great Turks seized so many Mingguang armors, how many Tang troops would they kill?"
"The Tang army is hateful and hateful. The more you kill, the better!"
The Mingguang Armor is the top armor in ancient China. It was something the Turks dreamed of. There were so many Mingguang Armors, which was a great joy for the Turks. The herdsmen all looked happy, which was even more joyful than the New Year.
"Let's go! Welcome the warriors of the Great Turks!" The herdsmen cheered and greeted them with a hurrah, each of them smiling happily, as if they were welcoming their ancestors.
Li Longji was surprised when he saw it. He thought he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. He saw that he was right. The Turkic herdsmen were just greeting them.
"This... the Turks are crazy?" Zhang Xiaofei muttered in his eyes.
"It's good, just kill me." Zhang Xiaofei held the horizontal knife tightly and was about to start killing.
"No." Li Longji hurriedly stopped him and said, "I'll try it. It would be great if I could enter Heisha City without a fight."
If the fight starts, it will be exposed. If the Turkic herders try their best to block it, they will buy time for the Turkic army stationed in Heisha City. Then, attacking Heisha City will add a lot of difficulties.
"The elders and fellow villagers of the Great Turks: We have returned victoriously and want to report good news to the Khan. You can get out of here and don't block us." Li Longji pulled up and shouted.
"Okay! OK!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block it."
The Turkic herders did not have any doubts and automatically made way. They stood on both sides, waved their arms, and cheered loudly: "The warriors of the Great Turks are back with victory!"
"This is OK?" Zhang Saw almost fell from the horse's back.
