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

Chapter 168 The rebels use the common people as a shield

"All right."

"I'm just curious, feel free to ask."

"It's okay, you can go back."

Li Shimin nodded, waved his hand to Zhou Fusheng, and didn't ask any more questions.

"The common people resign."

Zhou Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This was undoubtedly a kind of forgiveness for him, and he could finally leave.

After Zhou Fusheng left.

"What do you think?"

Li Shimin looked at Wang De and asked.

"General Li's butler is not lying. He may only know so much."

Wang De replied.

"If you don't want to see someone, isn't that us? Even Li Zheng won't let me see you. Cuiping, do you hate me so much?"

Li Shimin muttered to himself, with a painful expression on his face.

"His Majesty."

"Now General Li's affairs have basically been clarified."

"Mrs. Lin in Changzhi is the empress..."

Wang De stopped mid-sentence.

Li Shimin sighed.

Now that all the problems have been clarified, what will Li Zheng think when the day comes that we meet each other?

……

Time passes.

in a blink.

Just over two months have passed.

above the sky.

It's snowing heavily.

Winter begins earlier than in the south, and the north is already covered in heavy snow. Everywhere you look, you can see the scenery of a snow country.

In the north, winter has truly entered.

This is the saddest day for the people of the Northern Land and the grassland tribes.

From ancient times to the present.

Every time before winter comes, the grassland tribes will go south to plunder the people in the north just for winter resources, but this year things have changed. Because the Turks were beaten to pieces by the Tang Dynasty, and the Xue Yantuo tribe was also injured in the battle, they currently have no ability to go south again.

Xue Yantuo's tribe wanted to capture Youzhou City.

There is naturally the support of the remaining Turkic forces behind it.

only.

Since you have really arrived, their purpose of capturing Youzhou will be over.

Youzhou.

A border town bordering the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo's hometown.

"Bros."

"This is the last city in the Tang Dynasty that the foreign bastards will capture. After taking it, we can go straight to Huanglong and attack the nest of those rebellious people."

"Brothers, follow me and kill."

Li Zheng shouted loudly.

He rode his horse and charged towards the city.

Behind.

More than 40,000 Qingqi followed closely. Each of them was wearing cotton-padded clothes and holding a Mo Dao, riding towards the city.

The white snow on the ground was trampled by these tens of thousands of cavalry and turned into water. As the army passed by, there was a scene of snowy fields.

And looked at the Tang army sweeping in front of the city.

The rebels on the tower had a look of horror in their eyes.

Now they are at the end of their strength.

Since Yanqing City was defeated by Li Zheng, Xue Yantuo's rebels were killed, wounded and fled.

In the past, there were nearly 200,000 troops at their peak, but now they only add up to a few tens of thousands, and the rebels in this border town are the best among all. They either continued to flee north, or were scattered and abandoned. .

As for the three leaders of Xue Yantuo.

The last remaining leader, Tsomozhi, also escaped.

As for the soldiers who stayed to defend, they had obviously been abandoned.

"General, what should I do?"

"what should we do?"

"The Tang army is about to attack the city."

"That Li Zheng, he is an evil ghost and a god of murder. As long as he captures the city, I heard that the Tang army will not leave us alive as long as it captures the city."

"All the brothers who fell into their hands were killed by the Tang army."

"..."

Many rebels looked at the leading general with fear on their faces.

These two months.

Li Zheng has been leading troops to clean up the rebels in Youzhou, recaptured the fallen cities one by one, and killed all the rebels. In the eyes of the Dang Kou army, there are no surrenders at all, only enemies, only enemies. Killing.     For the rebels, there is only killing and nothing else.

so now.

The rebels were full of fear of Li Zheng and the bandits.

"Why are you panicking?"

A coldness flashed in the eyes of the rebel general on the city tower, and he stared at the charging Dang bandits: "Li Zheng, you are forcing me. If you hadn't forced us to have no way to survive, I wouldn't be like this."

Suddenly.

The rebel general waved his hand: "Release all those untouchables."

"Yes."

There was an immediate response from downstairs.

Followed by.

The city gate opened and came into view.

Tens of thousands of people were crowded inside, all wearing thin clothes and shivering in the cold winter. But now they all looked frightened and desperate. Behind them and beside them were rebels holding weapons and sharp blades. .

"Everybody get out."

"Get out."

"Whoever dares not to leave will be killed."

The rebel general roared loudly.

"Get out of here."

"roll…"

The surrounding rebels roared one after another, and some even waved their swords to cut down, and innocent people were killed one after another.

Under their pressure.

These people hunched their bodies and walked out of the city in fear and despair.

"Stop."

When Li Zheng saw the situation in front of the city, he immediately raised the Qinglong Saber, pulled the reins, and shouted loudly.

order.

The army stopped immediately.

And this moment.

All the Dangkou soldiers looked at the scene in front of the city.

His expression all changed, there was sadness in his eyes, but more of an anger.

came into view before their eyes.

They were all ordinary people in the hall. They were wearing thin clothes and shivering in the cold wind. They were as skinny as a stick. It was obvious that they had suffered torture at the hands of the rebels in the past few months.

And when they saw the Tang army outside the city, hope suddenly emerged in their eyes, and they quickly approached the bandit army.

"You guys, damn it!!"

Li Zheng raised his head, pointed at the rebels on the tower and shouted.

"Li Zheng."

"You forced all this."

"If you don't give us a way to survive, then we will drag them to death together."

"Aren't you Central Plains people the most concerned about ethnic ties?"

"Now, withdraw your troops immediately, otherwise I will order the killing of all these untouchables."

The rebel general sneered and looked at Li Zheng with a threatening look.

"Aren't you afraid of karma?"

"You massacred my Tang people today, and tomorrow, I will massacre your entire clan."

Li Zheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent and he shouted loudly.

"Li Zheng."

"I can't control what you said."

"I'll give you thirty breaths."

"When the time comes, if you don't retreat, I will kill all these untouchables."

"And Ben will tell you, this is only the first batch."

“There’s a lot more in the city.

"If you dare to attack, I will drive them all out."

The rebel general laughed wildly.

Subsequently.

Raising his hand: "Archers, prepare."

Faced with this.

Anger also appeared in your eyes. At this moment, he was like a volcano about to erupt.

"Damn rebels, damn alien bastards."

"I'm going to kill you all."

"Damn it..."

Behind Li Zheng, the eyes of every Dang Kou army officer screamed with fire-breathing anger.

At this moment, they are all in a situation where they are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off.
