Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 418 Raid Camp
Zhang Danian was killed.

On the day he was killed, many people gathered at Caishikou in Chang'an City.

When Zhang Danian's head was thrown into the air, many people suddenly understood one thing, their prince of the Tang Dynasty was not as kind as he appeared on the surface.

When it is really ruthless, it can kill people, even blood flow into rivers.

The change of Xuanwu Gate in the past few months has once again reminded many old parties of the East Palace.

But what they thought of was not revenge, but the cruelty shown by Li Shimin in that coup.

And after the beginning of spring, they all ignored it.

After Zhang Danian was killed, Li Jiancheng's old party suddenly kept a low profile. Of course, they also quickly understood some things.

Perhaps, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, and Yu Chigong, who have made great contributions to the dragon, can be a little willful, but they, the old party members of the East Palace, had better not stand out until they have made an inch of merit for Li Shimin.

Chang'an Fenghua, a storm is coming.

At the same time, Lingzhou is in a different situation.

The guard of Lingzhou is named Zhu Dagui. He has [-] soldiers and horses in his hands for the guard of Lingzhou.

Since the Shangyuan Festival, [-] Turkic soldiers and horses have begun to attack Lingzhou, and there are still [-] Turkic soldiers waiting in full swing.

As long as the time is right, they will be able to rush to the city of Lingzhou soon.

Zhu Dagui was under a lot of pressure. Although Lingzhou City was strong and Turkic soldiers were not good at attacking the city, they held on for more than a month, but if they continued like this, they might not be able to hold on for long.

But Zhu Dagui knew very well that even if he died, he must defend Lingzhou City and prevent the Turks from stepping into the Tang Dynasty.

"General, the Turkic soldiers and horses are attacking the city again."

This is the seventh time the Turks have attacked the city in seven consecutive days. They usually attack the city for about ten days in a row, and then rest for a period of time.

According to this rule, they probably still have a few days to guard, and they can't relax at all.

"Brothers, take up your arms and follow me to the tower. We must not let them attack. This is our home and our relatives. We must not let our family members be harmed."

"kill……"

"kill……"

Encouraged by Zhu Dagui, the morale of the remaining 1 soldiers and horses suddenly rose, and they followed Zhu Dagui to the tower, and continued to fight with the Turks.

This fight lasted for a long time, and it was not until nightfall that the Turkic soldiers retreated temporarily.

After a day of fighting, the soldiers of the Tang army were very tired, and because of the rapid Turkic attack, their casualties were not small.

"When will my reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrive?" Zhu Dagui went down the tower. His body was covered with blood, both his own and others'.

"General, according to the report from the spies, our reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty should be able to arrive around dusk tomorrow."

Zhu Dagui nodded, and they will arrive at dusk tomorrow, which means they still need to resist for another day.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not difficult, but the casualties will be greater.

"Let the brothers take turns to rest and keep an eye on the enemy's movements."

"Here!"

It was a peaceful night, but the next morning, just after dawn, the Turkic soldiers swarmed to kill again.

They probably knew that Tang Jun's defenders were running out, so this time they attacked the city swiftly, as if they were going to take the entire Lingzhou City in one fell swoop.

Turkic soldiers and horses kept entering the palace, and after being beaten down for a while, another group came again.

They don't seem to be afraid of life and death.

Originally, Zhu Dagui thought it would be no problem to resist them for a day, but now it seems that the situation is a bit serious.

"Brothers, kill me..."

Zhu Dagui drew his sword and slashed at the enemy. The enemy's blood was splashed everywhere, and the smell of blood stimulated everyone's sense of smell.

"kill……"

Tang Jun killed bravely, and the Turks also attacked swiftly.

This is a battle, but also a brutal killing.

People keep falling, and death keeps coming.

Tang Jun had already killed a little bit, but he was still killing desperately.

As night fell again, the Turkic soldiers and horses did not get any better after this fight. They did not expect that Lingzhou City, which had only so few people, would be so difficult to attack.

I thought I could take it today, but now it seems that I can't.

They are not good at night operations, so they can only retreat.

The Turkic soldiers and horses retreated, and Zhu Dagui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at their retreating team, and then he slumped down on the ground.

"Where are my reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty?" They promised to come around dusk, but they haven't shown up until now, which made Zhu Dagui a little angry.

"General, after receiving the news, they are very close to Lingzhou, and they should be here soon."

Zhu Dagui frowned, then walked down the tower.

"The general is waiting for them tonight."

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and Lingzhou in the spring night is still a bit chilly.

In the Lingzhou military camp, Zhu Dagui sat upright, although he was very sleepy, he did not rest.

"General, my Tang Dynasty reinforcements are here."

Hearing the news, Zhu Dagui immediately got up and walked out. The reinforcements were so slow, he had to talk to the marshal, even if that person was the marshal.

Zhu Dagui went out, and soon saw Li Jing who was leading the army.

"Marshal Li, you are so late. If you come one day later, Lingzhou City will not be able to hold on."

There were complaints and complaints in Zhu Dagui's tone. Li Jing glanced at Zhu Dagui and said, "If we come, we will be able to arrive before dusk today. The reason why we have to postpone it by an hour or two is because the marshal has big plans. .”

Hearing that the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty could arrive but did not arrive, Zhu Dagui suddenly wanted to go crazy, because the Tang army did not come, how many brothers did they die?

If they hadn't fought bloody battles, Lingzhou City might not be able to defend it. He thought Li Jing was really crazy, how dare he take such a risk?
Angry, I don't know how to describe that kind of anger, anyway, it just makes people want to go crazy.

"Hehe, Marshal Li is really confident in my Lingzhou defender, are you sure we can defend it?"

The irony in this sentence is too strong, but the corners of Li Jing's mouth twitched slightly: "Two thousand soldiers and horses can hold Lingzhou City for a few days, not to mention you have seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses. It can be said that it is your guard's problem."

"you……"

Li Jing didn't want to tell Zhu Dagui any more. What he actually wanted was this kind of situation, which made the Turks think that their Tang army was about to lose their hold, because only in this way could they confuse the Turks.

It is very beneficial to his actions tonight.

"Assemble a hundred soldiers who are familiar with the Turks to the marshal, and the marshal will lead the troops to attack the camp tonight."

"You want to attack the camp?" Zhu Dagui frowned. They had never confronted Turkic soldiers before.
