Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 862
"Your Majesty, Jieli Khan wants to retreat and return to the north, but he is not willing to return in vain. That's why he sent Zhishenli to intimidate. Your Majesty, don't be fooled." Li Junxian reminded the emperor that he held the first First-hand latest information, so the current situation of the Turks is very clear.

Jieli is also in a dilemma now.

Even the small city of Dingxiang couldn't be conquered, let alone besieged and wiped out Luo Siye.

He originally wanted everyone to hate the hot summer for not wanting to attack the city, so that's fine, surround it first, and let them attack the city after Tang Xia's army arrives. After all, they are more professional in attacking the city, and their soldiers are second. It doesn't hurt to die.

Unexpectedly, Chai Shao wasted a lot of time in Jiuyuan City, and finally made an emergency landing in Yun Dingxing. As soon as his soldiers and horses left, he was heading towards Dingxiang. way to go.Chai Shao took a detour, and it turned out that the detour took an extra half a month.

Confluence has not been reached until now.

As for Dou Jiande, Gao Kaidao, Gao Tansheng, and Liu Wuzhou's [-] allied forces, they were unable to attack Liu Hongji even in Yunnei.

It is said that the coalition forces are 60.

But until now, all the Turkic soldiers of Xieli are fighting alone.

Jieli felt that he had been fooled. The situation in the Central Plains was nothing like what Li Yuan and the others said they could take advantage of, and that they could take advantage of the opportunity by sending troops south.

That traitor, Ashina Simo, was as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine, a Turkic spy, who worked so hard after surrendering to the Qin Dynasty, and defended the city with dignity.

"Xieli wants to play tricks with me, but he's too young. I think I was a master at cheating Jinhua back then."

"Your Majesty, what is a fraudulent golden flower?" Li Junxian asked puzzled.

"Oh, nothing." The emperor smiled.

The first day of June.

Dingxiang City fiercely attacked the city all day long and fought fiercely until night.

The battle lasted until midnight, and the Turks finally broke into the east gate in the rain and occupied the Wengcheng.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the arrows were like locusts.

Jieli Khan personally supervised the battle under Dingxiang City and ordered that Dingxiang City be taken at all costs.Luo Cheng has already arrived in Taiyuan, and all the ministries in Hebei have lost one after another. If he can't take Dingxiang again, then he will be in trouble.

Luo Simo, Duke of Shunguo in the city, commanded his Turkic soldiers to fight out the intruding Jieli tribe and take back the breakthrough.

In the past month, the defenders of Dingxiang have taken back the gaps in the lost city several times, preventing the Jieli army from breaking through the city.

But today, even though the defenders repeatedly attacked, it still couldn't work.

Heavy rain.

Bowstrings have lost their performance.

And the dark rainy night blocked the defender's sight.

Jieli's Turkic army rushed in all directions like a wave, and without the support of bows and crossbows, the defenders' strength was greatly reduced.

East Gate breakthrough.

Fighting entered the city.

Simo personally went to the Bell and Drum Tower of Dongmen Street to observe the battle situation, and organized the defenders to fight in the imperial court.

The retreating defenders relied on the streets and houses to block the Jieli army step by step.

Jieli's army entered the city like a tide, fighting with Simo's army from house to house.

at dawn.

The rain finally stopped.

Dingxiang City finally completely fell into the hands of Jieli Army.

A Turkic general reported to Jieli Khan with his body wet, "Our army has captured Dingxiang City, beheaded more than [-] captive Han troops, and beheaded more than [-] Turkic and Tiele troops who had surrendered to Qin before, and captured another There are more than [-] people in the city."

"Where's Athinasimo?" Jieli asked.

"After the city was broken last night, he took advantage of the heavy rain and the chaos to escape from Dingxiang City with more than a thousand horsemen, broke through and headed south."

"Run away? You actually let this traitor run away?" Jieli was not at all excited after taking the city. Although this city was once the Khan City of Turkic Qimin Khan and Shibi Khan, he was also here Grow up, but now he's not happy at all.

All he got was a dilapidated city and the population of more than [-].

"Kill all those captives, they are our enemies."

"Khan, the Turks were also killed?"

Jieli said coldly, "They followed Simo and surrendered to Brother Luo Cheng, but this time they resisted desperately for more than a month. If these traitors don't kill them, what do they do with them? Kill them all, leaving no one behind."

"Where are the women and children?"

"Although they are women and children, the women and children of the Han people are the wives and children of traitors. They are all enemies. If you don't keep any of them, kill them!"

Under the city of Dingxiang.

By the Jinshui River.

After the Turks broke through Dingxiang City, they carried out a bloody massacre of the surviving soldiers and civilians in the city.

More than [-] mouths, not one left, all killed.

Human heads built a tall temple under the city, while headless corpses filled the Jin River, and blood stained the surface of the Shili River.

Rothmo broke through the siege and went south, retreated to the city of Dali, joined the [-] defenders in the city, and continued to resist the Turks.

After Jieli slaughtered Xiangcheng, he continued to go south.

Taking advantage of the coolness after the rain, the Turkic army launched another tide-like attack on the small city of Dali.

More than [-] defenders gritted their teeth and fought to the death, repelling wave after wave of Turkic attacks.

The small city of Dali is like a small reef in a sea storm, surrounded by layers of waves, and may be submerged at any time, but it has been tenaciously holding on.

A feathered arrow flew over, brushed Simo's face, took away a piece of flesh, and left a deep arrow mark.

Ke Simo still did not retreat, and stood at the top of the city to direct the city defense.

The red battle flag of the Great Qin Dynasty hanging high on the top of the city fell down amidst the feathered arrows and flying stones all over the sky.

But soon, the tattered military flag was propped up again.

Jieli ordered people to throw fireballs into the city, and the blazing fireballs set half of the city on fire. Fires ignited everywhere, and thick smoke filled everywhere.

The Jieli army once again used the tactic of destroying Xiangcheng, firing countless bows and arrows with simple catapults in between, and suppressed the defenders on the city with firepower. Start to climb the city with a knife.

The general trend is over.

at dusk.

Jieli's army finally broke through the city defenses and entered the city.

One by one the defenders were killed by the Jieli army.

Holding the horizontal knife bestowed by the emperor, Simo slashed left and right, still fighting desperately under the guard of his own soldiers.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Fight to the last moment!"

"Be loyal to Great Qin, and be loyal to my emperor!"

Simo is like a bloody god of war, vowing to die.

There is no chance to break out again, and today may be the place of death.

When the flag bearer around him also fell down, Simo stepped forward to hold up the flag and continued to fight.

The last soldier was stabbed by several spears, and died roaring unwillingly.

Fight to the last man.

Luo Simo, the commander of the right governor of Dingxiang Road in the Great Qin Dynasty and the right Xuanwu army envoy, Luo Simo, Duke of Shunguo, put the imperial horizontal knife on his neck, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Still in the future and hard, the knife was knocked down.

Then, he was pinned down and captured.

Later, a group of Turkic soldiers cheered and carried him, who was tied up, to the Jieli banner.

"Report to the Great Khan that the traitor Simo has been captured alive!"
