Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 419
To face the threat from the Eastern Turks from the northeast, General Xue Yue put up a long snake formation.

The three cities of Liaoyang City, Heisen City and Gissen City became three barriers.

Due to King Yu's betrayal, General Xue Yue died in the battle at Hulu Valley. However, on his deathbed, he told his two trusted generals to retreat to Heisen City and Gissen City.

General Li led 3 troops to garrison Heisen City, and General Sun led more than [-] troops to garrison Gissen City, forming a confrontation with Juli Khan of the Eastern Turks.

The siren of an enemy attack sounded in Gissen City, and Juli Khan of the Eastern Turks led a large army to the city.

General Sun received the news and immediately led all the soldiers to the tower.

Densely packed East Turkic warriors came in neat steps, followed by countless trebuchets and heavy crossbow chariots.

Although it is now ice and snow, the warriors of the Eastern Turks are not afraid of the cold weather. After a month of climbing mountains and wading in rivers, these large siege equipment finally arrived in Gissen City.

Juli Khan was also very smart. He learned that Heisen City had an army of [-] people, while Gissen City only had [-] troops. Therefore, he bypassed Heisen City and attacked Gissen City.

Once Giessen City is breached, Hesse City will become a turtle in a urn, unable to escape even if it wants to.

As for Heisen City, he arranged for his capable general, General Takumu, to set up an ambush in the middle. Once General Li from Heisen City sent troops to rescue, he would destroy General Li.

Help around the point!

Juli Khan's move was indeed brilliant.

"General Sun, the Turks are coming!"

A general reported loudly.

"Why are you panicking? Soldiers, fight!"

General Sun shouted loudly.

In the military camp at the back, many soldiers from the Great Yan Empire gathered, and they rushed towards the city wall in groups, waiting in formation.

General Sun stood on the tower, looking at the densely packed East Turkic warriors below, his face dark and sullen, his eyes full of murderous intent, but without any fear.

These Turks ambush them in Hulu Valley and killed General Xue Yue in battle. This revenge should have been avenged long ago.

However, the order from the Military Aircraft Department was to stick to it. If the Turks did not attack, it would be difficult for him to take the initiative.

Therefore, the Turks came to attack the city, which was exactly what General Sun wanted.

"Soldiers, the despicable Turks are here again. Here is your chance to avenge General Xue!"

General Sun's voice echoed on the tower.

"Revenge! Revenge..."

The soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

On a high ground in the distance, Juli Khan felt his scalp numb as he looked at the soldiers of the Great Yan Empire who were waiting in formation on the towering high wall.

In order to seize Heisen City and Gissen City before reinforcements from the Great Yan Empire arrived, he had to launch an attack in advance.

However, the soldiers of the Great Yan Empire rely on the solid city and cannot hold on, which will inevitably cause the deaths and injuries of his warriors doubled.

Now, he had no choice but to shoot the arrow, and he did it as a last resort.

According to his estimate, after the Great Yan Empire's Lu Army captured Hangu Pass, it would take at least a month to detour from Hangu Pass to Yandi City.

In his opinion, only five or six days had passed in a month, and he still had a lot of time to conquer the two cities.

At this moment, King Yu Murong Yu galloped over on his war horse, followed by several vassal kings who were also the scum of the Murong royal family.

It was precisely these guys who lured wolves into the house that made General Xue Yue suffer from enemies from both sides, and eventually died in Hulugu Valley. This incident touched the nerves of the subjects of the Great Yan Empire.

After all, as a member of the royal family, he could do such things that outraged both humans and gods, making all the subjects of the empire extremely disappointed in the Murong family.

Of course, this also cleared many obstacles for Lu Hao to overthrow the Murong royal family and ascend the throne as emperor.

"Meet Juli Khan!"

Prince Yu bowed slightly and smiled flatteringly, like a pug.This guy actually spoke Turkic. Although he was not very fluent, he still made Juli Khan feel more friendly.

"Prince Yu, what are you doing here?"

Juli Khan asked, but in standard Turkic language.

The interpreter next to him immediately conveyed his words to King Yu and others.

"Tell the Khan that we are here to help him attack the city. The Khan attacks from the north gate, and we attack the south gate. A flanking attack from the north and the south will make it easier to breach the city gate."

Murong Yu said loudly.

"Very good! Then you can attack from the south gate and we can work together to take down Giessen City."

Juli Khan nodded slightly and agreed.

"Then we'll go."

Murong Yu took the other vassal kings and rode their horses towards the south.

"Khan, is this Prince Yu really willing to help us attack the city?"

One of the generals under Juli Khan asked in a deep voice.

"He is currently riding a tiger. If reinforcements from the Great Yan Empire arrive, he will be dead. Naturally, he is willing to help us take down Gissen City. At least there will be a city to hold on to."

Juli Khan responded with a smile.

"We must guard against a villain like him who is willing to betray his own people."

Another military advisor-level old man interjected.

"Hehehehe... don't worry, as long as these two cities are conquered, our army can go south, sweep across the entire Qandong Great Plains, and take these lands into their pockets. Then their doom will come."

Juli Khan sneered darkly.

Murong Yu didn't know Khan's thoughts, but since the Lu Army defeated the Sui Empire, he had felt a strong danger.

Therefore, he would accept Juli Khan's temptation of huge sums of money, lure the wolf away from the tiger, and let Juli Khan face Lu Hao so that he could reap the benefits.

As for today's show of loyalty, any talk of helping to attack the city is just a show.

His home base is in Jingyue Port near the seaside in the Qandong Great Plains. In the sea to the east of Jingyue Port, there is an island that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

After he got a large amount of money, he had expanded his navy and was ready to escape to this island and occupy the mountain as king if the war situation went unfavorably.

Originally, he wanted to go south and capture Crescent Harbor, but his own strength was insufficient, and starting from the imperial capital, he could reach Crescent Harbor directly through the Qianyuan River.

If Crescent Harbor cannot be captured in a short period of time, and the nerves of the Imperial Capital's senior officials are touched, reinforcements will definitely be sent immediately.

When he heard that Lu Hao had sent his troops north to Hangu Pass, he breathed a sigh of relief and decided to help Juli Khan win Heisen City and Gissen City first.

As long as Juli Khan enters the hinterland of the Dayan Empire, Lu Hao's army will definitely break out into a war with Juli Khan, and he will reap the benefits.

"Siege!"

An order issued by Juli Khan.

"Trebuchet ready! A volley!"

Whoosh...

The huge boulders thrown by the trebuchet cut through the sky and shot toward this ancient city with blazing flames.

"Fight! Defend!"

General Sun's voice echoed throughout the tower.

A large-scale offensive and defensive battle kicked off.
