Chapter 487 Empty City Strategy?
"Are you a horse?"
Li Bai still doesn’t believe that this thing is a horse?
The black creature has a pair of big, rolling eyes.
I thought the little guy's face was round, but it turned out that his mouth was full of food.
He also stole a bunch of cucumbers from somewhere and was eating them.
The cucumber is as big as half a person's head, but this guy eats one at a time and swallows it in three or five bites without worrying about choking. It is not known whether it is Li Bai's illusion or reality, but it feels that this little guy is a little bigger than before.
Since you like to eat cucumber so much, I'll call you cucumber.
"Hugua, Hugua." The foal seemed to understand and rubbed against Li Bai's legs like a dog, very gently. Li Bai let out a long sigh. It was really a heartwarming thing to have such a lovely person accompany him in a foreign land in such a troubled time.
The more Li Bai thought about it, the more he felt that this little Hugua was quite cute. When he leaned over to stroke his fur, Hugua stared at Li Bai with his big watery eyes, and when Li Bai wasn't paying attention, he opened his mouth and burped.
This taste.
Really aggressive.
"Hu Gua, you're looking for death." Hu Gua burped and turned around and ran away.
Li Bai was chasing after him.
It would be great if such leisurely time could continue forever.
......
East Turkic.
"Report, Zhanxiang City has lost its guard."
The lord of the territory, Jili Khan, was shocked when he heard the report. Zhanxiang City had a strong wall and iron arm, and the outer perimeter was made of stone, making it indestructible. But it was breached today, which meant that the Tang Dynasty had opened the door to the war with the Eastern Turks.
"Who leads the troops?" Jili Khan suppressed his thoughts.
"Khan, it's Li Jing, the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Jing is well-known, and everyone in and outside the Tang Dynasty knows his title of Iron-faced General. Ever since Li Shimin rebelled in Taiyuan, Li Jing has followed him. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he made great efforts. Sending Li Jing today is enough to show the Tang Dynasty's determination.
"What's the loss?" Jili Khan thought thoughtfully.
"Khan, the entire army of Zhanxiang City was annihilated. No one inside or outside the city survived. In addition, all the livestock and houses were burned down. Last night they lit fires and danced in the city. They were so happy."
boom.
Jili Khan drew his sword to vent his anger and chopped the table in front of him in half.
"Too deceiving."
The huge city of Zhanxiang was massacred by Li Jing, and not even the houses and towers were seen. The Tang Dynasty really didn't take the Eastern Turks seriously.
Jili Khan turned his head and thought, within two days, Zhanxiang City was captured, and Li Jing was unscrupulous. He was not afraid of the supply of food and grass, nor was he afraid of the cold land. Could it be that he had a large army?
"Li Jing, did you lead tens of thousands of enemy troops?"
Tens of thousands?
If tens of thousands of Tang troops had arrived here, they would have reached the sky and taken your head, Jili Khan.
"Khan, it's strange to say that there are only three thousand light cavalry."
"Impossible." Before the spy finished speaking, Jili Khan suddenly felt scared.
Three thousand light cavalry?
Can our Eastern Turkic Khan Xiangcheng be easily captured by just 3,000 light cavalry?
When did my Eastern Turks become so depressed?
"Khan, not only that, none of their 3,000 light cavalry were damaged, not even a hair of their horses was burned."
With a plop, Jili Khan sat down on the chair.
This is simply impossible. Even if the weak defense of Zhan Xiang City gave them an opportunity to take advantage of, Li Jing would not be unscathed, while the entire Zhan Xiang City army would be wiped out.
Poor Jili Khan felt like his life had been dealt a heavy blow.
How did they do it?
Just as Jili Khan was daydreaming, the spy gave the reason: "Khan, it's not that Li Jing is so powerful, but before the Tang army entered the pass, a miracle fell from the sky, and something like a night star fell into Zhanxiang City, directly smashing half of Zhanxiang City into the bottom of the pit."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. Once he did, the Khan felt even more terrified. Regarding the matter of the night star, Jili Khan deliberately avoided the question. In the culture of the Eastern Turks, the night star descending to the west was a sign of great misfortune. Was it really God's will to destroy the Eastern Turks?
"Please come in, General Kang Sumi."
Jili looked at his totem, which had the word "fire" embroidered on it. The pattern with smoke and fire around it was a three-legged golden crow. The East Turkestan had been cold for a long time, and this three-legged golden crow was what they longed for in their hearts. What was different from the others was that the three-legged golden crow of the East Turkestan had a black stone on its mouth, which was as black as coal.
"Khan, send out the troops."
General Kang Sumi expressed his opinion directly after entering the room.
"Su Mi, Li Jing broke into Xiangcheng alone with only 3,000 light cavalry. If it weren't for Ye Xing's help, how could he have such courage?" Ji Li's judgment of the current situation was very tight.
"Khan, do you mean that Li Jing is followed by a large army?" Kang Sumi was also a cautious person.
The Khan thought so in his heart, but three days had passed and the three thousand troops were still three thousand, with no sign of any troops arriving.
Thinking of the battle of Zhanxiang City, it was a shame for the Eastern Turks, a great shame, and the Khan was very angry.
"Su Mi, lead an army of thirty thousand with me tonight. Let's find out if there are any soldiers."
......
As night fell, Hu Gua ate dozens of melon naan around the fire, and vaguely looked like he had grown bigger.
Li Bai was surrounded by people and was telling them stories.
Water Margin.
The story was about Ximen Qing teasing Pan Jinlian.
When it came to the joyful scene where Ximen Qing invited Pan Jinlian to join him in the tent, a group of people were listening with fascination and were drinking to their heart's content when Wang An came to report.
"General, God-man, the enemy is coming our way."
Li Jing threw away the wine bowl: "How much?"
Wang An was shocked: "At least thirty thousand, it's huge."
Thirty thousand?
Li Jing had only three thousand light cavalry.
The opponent has ten times the strength of ours, and there is no way we can fight back.
"Evacuate, evacuate quickly." Li Jing knew that he was no match for the enemy and saving his life was the most important thing.
"Where can we retreat to? The east wind is rising and snow is about to come. If we retreat, we will die." Li Bai looked at the sleeping Hu Gua in the firelight.
"Doctor Li, this is a march and a battle, it's not a joke. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain, retreat." Li Jing was already arrogant.
Seeing the army approaching, how can I not panic?
"Old Li, don't worry. If there are 30,000 divine soldiers on the other side, I can also summon 30,000 heavenly generals for you."
Li Bai is being mysterious again.
"General, please listen to the divine advice. Our brothers have just given birth to children. We cannot stand the cold if we travel at night."
Wang An sniffled and said, "If it doesn't work, you can cast a spell and drop from the sky again to smash them to pieces."
Li Bai slapped Wang An on the head and said, "It's impossible to dig another hole. But I can lend you the person."
"Brothers, be smart, form teams of ten, spread out, and light a big pile of charcoal in front of each team. The bigger the better, and everyone laughs as loudly as possible."
Li Jing quickly stopped him: "This will expose the target."
"Then do you have any better plan?" Li Bai asked back.
Li Jing had no choice but to shake his head: "No."
"Then implement it well. This is the best way."
"Doctor Li, I'm going to ask, what is this plan called?"
Li Bai scratched his head and said, "It's called the Empty City Strategy."
