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

Chapter 45 Li Zheng captured the Turkic royal city, Li Jing highly praised it

The vanguard army took the lead bravely, and with Li Zheng at the forefront,

The soldiers held their shields high, braved the rain of arrows, and quickly reached the base of the barrier.

Some soldiers set up ladders and climbed up the barrier.

One group carried the battering ram and quickly came to the city gate.

"Rush me!"

Li Zheng waved his sword and shouted orders.

"kill!"

Dozens of soldiers carried the battering ram and struck hard at the city gate.

boom!
  After a dull sound, the city gate that was smashed by the huge stone of the trebuchet was shaking.

at this time.

Li Zheng brought up the Black Iron Sword.

He mobilized all his strength, as well as the power added by the system, and slashed hard towards the gap where the city gate was knocked open.

Click!

The edge of the sword cuts down, destroying everything.

The protective wood behind the city gate was cut off directly.

"Collide!"

As the city wall was cut off, the soldiers carrying the battering ram hit the city gate with all their strength.

boom…

The city gate was knocked open directly.

Li Zheng was the first to rush into the royal city on horseback.

Wielding a black iron sword in his hand, he slashed at the swarming Turkic soldiers.

The sword blade passed by, causing bursts of blood to splash.

The first batch of Turkic soldiers who rushed over were easily killed by Li Zheng.

The war horses are galloping and their bravery is unstoppable.

Li Zheng continued to fight in the royal city.

Following Li Zheng were the guards of the vanguard army, also wielding Mo Dao and charging into the royal city.

"Follow the general!"

"kill!"

Group after group of Turkic soldiers were beheaded.

Some of the surviving soldiers were killed by the vanguard who followed before they could gain a foothold.

Under the leadership of Li Zheng, these vanguard troops exerted several times their combat effectiveness and rushed into the city.

Tang troops from other legions also followed and entered the royal city.

"Follow the general and kill all the Turks."

"Kill...kill..."

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Army roared and surged towards the Turkic King's City like a wave.

The remaining Turkic soldiers hiding in the royal city have now become their prey.

The last Turkic bastion, the last royal city, was breached by the vanguard army led by Li Zheng.

The Turkic Royal City was also the last battlefield of the Tang Dynasty’s Northern Expedition.

After the royal city barrier was breached.

Li Jing, the general manager of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Zhang Gongjin, the deputy general manager, lived in the Chinese army commander's tent several kilometers away and directed the entire army's attack.

"Report!"

"Report to the Grand Manager."

"The battle report came from the vanguard army. The vanguard general Li Zheng led his men to attack the royal city. General Li Zheng killed the Turkic city guard general Hu Erhu. The vanguard army killed more than 6,000 enemies and captured more than 23,000 enemies."

"Our army is victorious!"

A messenger rode to the outside of the Chinese army's tent. After dismounting, he quickly entered the tent to report.

Hear the good news from the front line.

Li Jing, who was sitting on the commander's seat in the Chinese military tent, smiled excitedly. "Hahaha."

"Good! Great."

"This manager is right. This Li Zheng is a born general."

"Since the search for Yugu Changdu, the vanguard army led by Li Zheng has fought with the Turks several times, winning many battles and driving the remnants of the Turks to the edge of Mobei."

"Today, we raided the Turkic home base, the royal city, and there are no more Turkic cavalry on the grassland."

"From now on, this vast prairie will be my pasture of Datang."

"The first achievement of the Tang Dynasty in conquering the Turks was none other than Li Zheng!"

"I want to ask Your Majesty to take credit for him!"

Looking at the generals in the handsome tent, Li Jing made no secret of his admiration for Li Zheng.

"Li Zheng is indeed a rare general."

"This time, our Northern Expeditionary Army defeated the Turks so smoothly, thanks to the appearance of Li Zheng. This is our great fortune for the Tang Dynasty!"

"Li Gong, I heard that since Li Zheng took over the Pioneer Army, the Pioneer Army's combat power has soared, and its combat power has far exceeded that of other legions. I don't know what method Li Zheng used to reduce the Pioneer Army's combat power. Advances by leaps and bounds.”

Deputy General Manager Zhang Gongjin echoed from the side. He was also particularly curious about the combat power of the Pioneer Army.

"I think Li Zheng is a born general. Every time he kills the enemy, he is brave enough to take the lead. This can also boost the morale of the soldiers. The fact that the vanguard army has such combat power now has something to do with it."

"And I discovered that this boy is not only brave in killing enemies, he is also good at leading troops. He can use tactics such as leading troops to ambush, encirclement for reinforcements, large-scale encirclement, etc."

"This is talent. Talent is something you are born with."

"Fortunately, Li Zheng was born in our Tang Dynasty. If he had been born in the Turks or other tribes, Li Jing would not be a match for him if we met him."

"I, a general who always wins, am also a general who always loses."

Li Jing twirled his long beard and laughed.

"Yes! If this kid was born in Turks, he would be so fierce and move troops like a god."

"Our Northern Expedition is probably going to fail."

"God has blessed me, Tang Dynasty, to have such a good general!"

Zhang Gongjin also looked emotional.

"The capture of the Turkic King's City this time can be regarded as the annihilation of the Turks, although the puppet Khan Yuguchangdu fled to Mobei with his family."

"But, he has no chance to turn around."

"Yuguchangdu abandoned his troops and people, which made the Turks feel cold. Even if he returns to the grassland in the future, he will not win over the Turks to work for him."

"What's more, all the elite Turks have been lost. According to His Majesty's wishes, the remaining Turks will be moved inward."

"Live together with our people from the Central Plains and learn to farm. The vast grasslands will become our military training ground in the Tang Dynasty."

"I'm getting older. Any wars in the future should be left to young people like Li Zheng."

Li Jing looked up at the sky outside the handsome tent, feeling quite emotional.

"Mr. Li's words are serious."

"You are the Optimus Prime of my Tang Dynasty. Although Li Zheng is a brave general, when it comes to command, he is still far behind."

"Although the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, the Tuyuhun in the northwest and the Tubo in the southwest have increased in power in recent years and are ready to move."

"With your Majesty's character, you won't wait for them to grow bigger. You will definitely take action to solve it."

"I think there are still battles to be fought, and His Majesty will never let you retire so early."

Zhang Gongjin said with a smile.

heard.

Li Jing also nodded, quite agreeing with Zhang Gongjin's statement.

"This time the Northern Expedition will destroy the Turks, I am very confident. After all, after all these years of attacks, the Turks have long been no longer as brave as they were when the Tang Dynasty was first established. In addition, due to internal divisions, we, the Tang Dynasty, used them to destroy the Turks in one battle."

"I am not surprised by such achievements. What surprises me most is that in this battle to destroy the Turks, we were able to obtain a talented general like Li Zheng."

"We are getting older, and the future of Datang depends on young people like Li Zheng."

"In this war to annihilate the Turks, I have recorded all the contributions he made to the Tang Dynasty."

"When the master returns to the court, I will report his merits to the emperor in person. The court must reuse such meritorious ministers."

Li Jing said seriously.

"If Li Zheng is so valued by the general manager, he will definitely become a bright pearl in our Datang Army in the future."
