The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

The north wind is howling and the snow is falling.

In this freezing season, a breath of hot air turns into ice in an instant.

The armor was worn on the body, and it was extremely cold. The soldiers' hands holding the weapons almost lost consciousness.

Since ancient times, nomads on the grasslands have chosen the spring season when they wage war against the Central Plains dynasties.

First, the weather was mild enough not to freeze the soldiers and horses to death.

Secondly, after the beginning of spring, the Han people had a lot of food in stock, so they could take the opportunity to plunder.

But Jieli Khan, who was eager for revenge, could no longer care about the series of problems of starting a war in winter.

He just wants to imitate Li Changqing and ride on Chang'an!

While avenging himself, he plundered a large amount of food and grass so that the Turkic people could have a decent winter.

He wanted to let other disloyal leaders of the tribe know that although he, Jieli, failed in Youzhou, he was still brave.

The failure of Youzhou was not due to war, but because Li Changqing was too brave!

……

An army of 250,000 troops stormed Chang'an under the order of Jieli Khan.

The Turks were good at shooting. The warriors bent their bows and set arrows. Suddenly, arrows were overwhelming like locusts and rushed toward the defenders on the tower of Chang'an City.

Neither the Black Armor Army nor the Imperial Guard have elite divine arrow guards like the White Robe Army.

With the firepower suppressed, the defenders did not dare to show their faces and could only be beaten passively.

After several rounds of arrows, a large number of corpses fell on the city wall.

"Woo woo——"

As a loud horn sounded, the Turkic siege officially kicked off!

The two armies fought without any probing and directly entered the most intense and intense battle.

The war started, and in less than a cup of tea, the moat of Chang'an was dyed red with blood.

The battlefield is extremely cruel and the scenes are extremely bloody! Broken limbs and broken arms are flying everywhere in the sky, life is like a piece of grass here!

While Li Shimin was beheading the Turkic warriors who climbed onto the city tower, he shouted to direct the battle:"The Turkic offensive is too fierce, quickly let the Beiya Imperial Army come to help defend!" The

Beiya Imperial Army defended the safety of the imperial city.

After Li Shimin succeeded in forcing the palace, the generals of the Nanya Forbidden Army and the Beiya Forbidden Army were all replaced by his confidants.

Facing the fierce Turkic offensive, all troops had to be mobilized.

The Turks possessed a wolf-like spirit of never-tiring attack, and Jieli Khan relied on his large number of troops to launch a violent attack.

His attack rhythm was extremely fast, leaving no chance for Li Shimin to breathe.

The Black Armor Army and the Imperial Guard were not as elite as the White Robe Army. They defended the city for only one day, but they were unable to withstand it and suffered heavy losses!

The war started in the morning and lasted until the sun went down in the evening. It was not until Li Shimin was exhausted mentally and physically that the Turkic army slowly retreated to the Weishui River and set up camp.

……

At night, the Chinese army camp.

Li Shimin and his advisors and generals held post-war discussions

"The morale of the Turks is as high as a rainbow, and the morale of our soldiers is extremely low. It is really difficult to win when facing the enemy in such a state! Hou Junji said in a deep voice:"I think our top priority is to improve the morale of the three armies!" Chai

Shao's face was full of fear and he said:"Although the Turks' armor and weapons are not as good as ours, their soldiers are all fierce." When fighting, everyone is not afraid of life and death, it is extremely terrifying! The officers and men of our army are all frightened when facing such brave and fearless soldiers. How can their morale not be low? Li

Shimin shook the sword in his hand and said:"No matter how fierce you are, you are still made of flesh and blood!" If you strike with one sword, you will die! The White Robe Army can resist the Turkic siege, and so can our Black Armor Army!

As Jun Ji said, the top priority is to improve the morale of the three armies! Once the morale is broken, we will never be able to defend Chang'an, even if we are against a large number of enemies with a small number."

All the advisers and generals frowned, thinking about how to improve the morale of the soldiers.

While everyone was thinking worriedly, a spy came in and reported to Li Shimin:

"Reporting to the King of Qin, Princess Pingyang came from Luoyang with an army of 20,000 people. At this moment, we are only thirty miles away from Chang'an, and we will arrive soon."

When the news came, everyone was overjoyed.

Li Shimin stood up and said:"I will go to the north gate as soon as possible to greet Princess Pingyang's army!"

……

Under the starlight, a female general in silver armor came on horseback.

The female general has a soft appearance, but there is a majesty between her eyebrows that makes people dare not look directly at her.

As she looked at Shen Fei, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Ordinary men would feel timid when they saw her.

Behind the female generals, the 20,000 Detachment of Women formed a majestic lineup, and their military power was not inferior to that of the Royal Guards of the Imperial City!

Li Shimin welcomed Li Xiuning and his 20,000 women's army into the city, and was very happy.

……

On the second day, the Turks attacked the city again, and with the participation of 20,000 women's troops, the pressure from the Xuanjia Army and the Imperial Guards suddenly weakened a lot.

Of course, with such a small amount of troops, it is still difficult to stop the Turks' attack.

After two consecutive days of fighting, the Turks lost 13,000 soldiers, and the Chang'an garrison lost 8,000!

In just two days, more than one-tenth of the Chang'an garrison was killed!

If this continues, within a few days, the Turks' iron hooves will break through Chang'an!

Li Shimin was anxious. He had just succeeded in forcing the throne, but before he could ascend the throne, the Turks came to kill him.

When a group of advisers and generals were discussing how to deal with the Turks, Li Xiuning suddenly spoke:

"I have a plan to slow down the Turks' offensive. Li

Shimin knew that Li Xiuning had a strategy on the battlefield, and quickly asked:"What's the plan for Third Sister?" Tell me quickly and I will listen."

Delaying the momentum of the Turkic attack is a very good idea.

At this juncture, we can only delay it as much as possible until King Qin's army arrives in Beijing.

Only in this way, Chang'an has a glimmer of hope.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Xiuning said:"Pour rice soup into the ground, and after a few hours it will be like horse urine. We can boil the rice soup in a big pot and pour it into the ravine outside the city at night.

Tomorrow the Turkic army will come to attack the city. When they see the rice soup, they will mistake it for horse urine and think that we have reinforcements arriving.

We faked signs that a hundred thousand troops were coming for reinforcements, and dropped a few White Robe Army flags on the ground.

My sixth brother and I are similar in height, and I am also familiar with his behavior. I can temporarily impersonate him, intimidate Jieli, delay time, and wait for support!

Jieli was afraid of the white-robed army. He had been hunted down by his sixth brother and had no way to go to heaven. He was afraid of his sixth brother like a fierce tiger! Under such circumstances, he would not dare to act rashly!"

Li Xiuning's strategy is very feasible.

In a short period of time, it can indeed frighten Jie Li and prevent him from attacking the city rashly.

Although Li Shimin felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, he actually wanted to rely on the reputation of Li Changqing and the White Robe Army. , to the point of intimidating the enemy!

However, due to the current situation, he can only agree.

Otherwise, the Turkic army will attack the city again tomorrow, and the Xuanjia Army and the Imperial Guard will not be able to hold on!
