I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 146 Xue Yantuo’s rebels attack Youzhou

In the palace.

Daming Palace, side hall.

"gone?"

Looking at Wang De walking in from outside the hall, Li Shimin asked aloud.

"His Royal Highness King Wu and Li...General Li just left Chang'an City."

Wang De replied respectfully.

"Ugh."

"We are the only ones left in this huge Daming Palace."

There was a sense of loneliness in Li Shimin's tone.

"emperor."

"Although General Li has gone on an expedition, Your Majesty, your grandson is still in Chang'an. He is now a few months old and will be walking in a few months. However, the Emperor sees him as he sees General Li. ah."

Wang De said respectfully.

Upon hearing this.

Li Shimin's face immediately showed a smile.

"correct."

"Our prince is gone, but our grandson is still here."

"When he grows older, we will bring him directly to the palace and keep him company with us."

Li Shimin immediately thought with relief.

"The minister is noble and honest."

"Your Majesty Li Jing."

"I have an audience with you by order."

Two voices sounded outside the hall.

"Xuan."

Li Shimin came back to his senses and said.

"The Emperor has a decree."

"The two ministers will meet you quickly."

Wang De shouted.

Nowadays, there is a rebellion in Youzhou in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. The troops need food and grass, and they also need the dispatch of baggage.

And this naturally has to be handed over to the Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of War.

Li Shimin summoned the two of them, naturally to arrange the food, grass and baggage needed for the war.

Every time there is a war, the country's finances are bound to be tight, so this is also a big deal.

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye.

Ten days have passed.

Youzhou, Tongcheng.

boom! boom! boom!

Stones followed the trebuchets, flying hard towards the city wall and falling on the city wall. Many defenders of the Tang Dynasty were hit by the stones and died instantly.

Many stones fell into the city, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who defended the city. The city was filled with wailing, corpses and wounded soldiers everywhere.

Faced with such an offensive.

Even the Tang Dynasty responded with trebuchets, bows and arrows, but they could not stop the enemy's attack at all.

Look towards the front of the city.

An army of more than 100,000 people is attacking crazily.

The darkness seemed to be engulfing the entire city.

"Damn Xue Yantuo, he is indeed an immature jackal. Their trebuchets were all secretly learned from the Tang Dynasty."

"The Tang Dynasty gave them these weapons to protect the Tang Dynasty, but now they have become a weapon for them to kill the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"Damn alien bastard."

"Brothers, don't panic, just hold on for dear life."

"This general has received an urgent order from the Ministry of War. Our reinforcements are on the way and will arrive soon."

"It was the Northern Expeditionary Army that killed the Turkic Khan and captured the Turkic Royal Court. The leader of the army was our hero of the Tang Dynasty, General Li Zheng, the God of War."

"As soon as the reinforcements arrive, they will kill these barbarians to pieces."

"Tongcheng is the last threshold of our Youzhou. If Tongcheng is destroyed, Youzhou will be in danger, and millions of people in Youzhou will suffer. Among them are your relatives and friends, and they are our compatriots."

"We can only protect them by holding on."

"Brothers, kill the enemy and kill all these bastards."

On the city tower, the border town general waved his sword and roared loudly. And his words also greatly boosted morale.

"Kill, kill all the alien bastards."

"kill…"

On the city tower, countless bloody and brave soldiers of the Tang Dynasty roared. Some of them were already covered in blood, with arrows stuck in their bodies. They were injured but did not retreat, and they wildly fired arrows towards the bottom of the city.

There were also many soldiers carrying boulders.

Defend with all your strength against the enemy.

They risked their lives to guard this city.

And in front of the city.

The enemy's casualties were not small, but with a strength of hundreds of thousands, they had no scruples.

Xue Yantuo is a nomadic people active in the north in Chinese history. Their activity area was originally in the Tuna River Basin in Mobei, where they engaged in nomadic herding.

It was originally one of the Tiele tribes, merged from the Xue and Yantuo tribes, and was originally ruled by DTZ.

Later, the Turks became increasingly oppressive, and Xue Yantuo's tribe fought back. However, there was a huge disparity in strength. When they were desperate, they contacted the Tang Dynasty and took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, and were protected by the Tang Dynasty.

Because of the protection of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks no longer dared to threaten and invade the Xueyantuo tribe. Over the past few years, the Xueyantuo tribe quickly regained its vitality.

By the Zhenguan period, the Xueyantuo tribe had recovered to hundreds of thousands of people, and almost all of these Xueyantuo people were soldiers, and they could fight on horseback, so they also integrated hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

As DTZ was crippled by the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo's tribe saw the hope of becoming bigger. Joined by the remnants of the Turks, they suddenly rebelled against the Tang Dynasty without any warning and attacked Youzhou, an important town in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty.

"attack."

"If Tongcheng is defeated, Youzhou will belong to me, Xue Yantuo."

"Sons."

"After capturing this city, I will give you good food and drink, and let you plunder as much as you want. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty belongs to us."

Yi Shibo, the leader of Xue Yantuo tribe, roared with laughter like crazy. He was tall and tall, with a strong back and a strong waist.

Behind him, there were also two sturdy generals.

Compared with the orderly governance of the Yanhuang tribe in the Central Plains, the grassland people believe that the strong are respected, and the courage of the tribal leaders must not be weak.

"Kill, kill for me."

"Kill them all.

"We had no choice but to surrender. Now that we have the support of the Turks, we are still afraid that the Tang Dynasty will seize Youzhou and fight against the Tang Dynasty."

"good."

The other two tribal leaders were also laughing crazily, very confident in breaking through the city.

Xue Yantuo's army attacked quickly.

They are all fierce soldiers.

Ladders were built on the city wall, and rammers were also rushing towards the city gates.

Every soldier of the Tang Dynasty was holding on frantically.

Hundreds of soldiers held on to the city gate.

There was even more close-quarters and bloody fighting on the city tower.

today.

It was already the sixth day that the city's soldiers had secured the city. Faced with Xue Yantuo's crazy attack of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, it was already very difficult for Nengou to defend the city for so long.

This was all earned by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty with their lives and bravery.

"Kill, kill these ungrateful bastards."

"Kill."

The Tongcheng garrison roared, waving the sword in his hand to kill the enemy soldiers who climbed up the ladder.

But as more and more enemy troops climbed onto the city tower, the banging sound of the city gate became louder and louder, and the city seemed to be destroyed at any time.

But the generals and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were unable to change anything other than defending.

The war continued, and the battlefield killings like a meat grinder also continued.

With a roar.

boom! !

The city gate was slammed open.

The hundreds of soldiers inside who were holding on to the city gate were directly knocked down, and the enemy troops outside had already exposed their ferocious fangs.

To rush into the city.

And this time.

call out! !

Ten sharp arrows passed over the heads of many Tang soldiers.
