Under Xieli's order, the Turkic cavalry quickly arrived at the city of Suzhou. First, there was a stormy rain, which gave the Tang army in the city a disarm, and then they began to charge on horseback.

Because of the loose defense of the soldiers in the city, coupled with the sudden arrival of the Turks and the crazy rain of arrows, the city gate was quickly breached.As soon as the Turkic cavalry entered the city, they were like the god of death falling from the sky. They chopped off the heads of the Tang army with the scimitar in their hands like harvesting wheat.Tang Jun also started to counterattack under the leadership of the middle and lower level generals, but facing the Turkic cavalry on the horse, their counterattack seemed a bit bleak. Down.

Turkic cavalry continued to pour in near the city gate, and the Tang army continued to rush to the city gate to help.At the gate of the city, the two armies started to fight for this piece of land that must pass through to kill each other.The Tang army is expensive because of its large number of people, but the Turkic cavalry can't show its power here.Therefore, the two sides began a tug-of-war, and a scene of bloody battle took place at the gate of the city.

Jieli dispatched the Turkic cavalry to stand still at the gate of the city, and asked Zhi Sisili beside him, "What's going on? Who isn't attacking the east gate?"

"It's from King Zuo Xian." Zhi Shili replied.

"Who's in command? Go over and have a look, it's really a bunch of idiots who can't even take down a city gate." Jieli said angrily.

"Yes" he slapped the horsewhip with all his might, and disappeared from Xieli's sight.When he appeared, he was already near the city gate. Seeing the Turkic cavalry and the Tang army fighting near the narrow city gate, he shouted, "Let your horse charge over and crush their chests with the iron hooves of your horses."

These cavalry of King Zuoxian lacked King Zuoxian's morale, so they were used to attack the city.However, no one can ignore their combat effectiveness because of their Turkic cavalry.Just now they didn't have a good coach to command, that's why they fell into a passive situation. Now they have the command of Zhi Shili, and when they heard Zhi Shili's shout, they immediately understood the meaning of his words.He patted the horse's tail vigorously, and then pulled the horse's rein forcefully. The steed kicked up high, broke through a Tang Jun's head, and jumped into the face of Tang Jun who was swarming up behind him.The same is true for the Turkic cavalry behind, constantly beheading the lives of Tang soldiers with their mounts.Every time they made an impact, they advanced a few feet forward. With such continuous charges, the Tang army began to be defeated, and began to show signs of retreat under the charge of the Turkic cavalry.

Sun Futong, the lieutenant general of Suzhou, who had just returned from inspection on the top of the city gate, always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and really wanted something to happen.Therefore, he didn't want to take off his clothes and go to bed as usual, but read a book in the study, but he was thinking about the things about the Turkic invaders in Yunzhou.

Just when he felt a little sleepy, a voice outside suddenly shouted, "Who is it?" "Turkic invasion, I want to report to the general."

The door was pushed open, and a soldier ran in frantically. "You..." Before Sun Futong had time to reprimand, he saw the soldier say, "General, the Turkic attack on the east and west gates of Suzhou has been broken down." After speaking, he fell to the ground and died.

Sun Futong glanced at the soldier lying on the ground, and saw that he had been shot in the back by an arrow and died of anger.But this feathered arrow is really a wolf-toothed arrow specially used by Turkic cavalry. My heart sank, and I looked up at the stunned Tang soldier standing at the door, and shouted loudly, "What are you still doing? Go to the gate of the city to help me." After that, he got up and grabbed a soldier and said, "Go tell General Wang and let him lead the people in the city to break out from the north gate. I will hold back the Turkic cavalry, and I will defend Suzhou City to the death, and live and die with Suzhou City."

"Yes" the soldier was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of depression, he didn't speak, and ran out the door with a promise.Seeing the back of the soldiers disappearing, Sun Futong looked back at the backyard where his wife and daughter lived, turned his head cruelly, and led the soldiers towards the gate of the city.

When Sun Futong came to the gate of the city with his troops, the Turkic cavalry had already broken through the Tang army's defense line, and the Tang army had already shown signs of defeat.Sun Futong yelled loudly, "Don't retreat, hold on to me." But at this time, Tang Jun was completely demoralized, and he didn't listen to his orders at all.In desperation, Sun Futong practiced cutting down several fleeing Tang troops, and then stabilized the situation.

"Everyone is not allowed to retreat. Behind you are your wives, children, parents, and the people of Suzhou City. Don't you just watch the Turkic cavalry charge into the city, kill your parents, and rape your wife? Are you big? To the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, you are the Tang soldiers who protect their wives and daughters, their parents, and the people of Suzhou. They trust you and entrust their lives to you. Is this how you protect them? Soldiers, for the sake of the people of Suzhou, we cannot Back off, you must stand up." Sun Futong's words aroused the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers, and they knew the brutality of the Turkic people.If they are really allowed to enter the city, then their wives, daughters and parents will definitely not end well.Thinking about it this way, the soldiers of the Tang army were full of fighting spirit again, and they began to form a defensive line against the Turkic cavalry to block the charge of the Turkic cavalry.

Zhi Shili commanded the charge of the Turkic cavalry in a place not far from the city gate. When the Turkic cavalry broke through the Tang army's defense line, Sun Futong's arrival made Tang Jun stabilize the morale of the army, and started to build the defense line again.He was annoyed for a while, knowing that if he wanted to defeat the Tang army here, he had to kill the Tang army coach.Therefore, without hesitation, he swung his horse and charged towards Sun Futong's direction.

Sun Futong also found out that the Turkic commander here was the Turkic general who killed him in this way, with the same thoughts as if he lost his mind.Therefore, he swung his horse to meet the mace in Zhi Shili's hand.

The spear collided with the mace, blood flowed from Sun Futong's mouth, and his hands were so numb that he couldn't move at all.At this time, he realized how powerful such a Turkic cavalry general is.In the fight with Sun Futong, Zhi Shili had already discovered that Sun Futong's arm strength was not as good as his own.So, he once again raised his mace and threw it at Sun Futong's head.Sun Futong couldn't use his hands now, so he moved his body reluctantly to avoid the blow.However, how could he lose his mind and power as he wished, and when the mace was about to fall on Sun Futong's head, he suddenly changed his trajectory, smashed on him hard, and knocked Sun Futong off his horse.

Lost in thought, he looked at Sun Futong who was struggling to get up with his spear clenched on the ground, admiring his toughness in his heart, and suddenly said, "General Tang, I admire your toughness. I will tell you your name today before you die, okay?" I want you to understand clearly, I am called Zhishili." After finishing speaking, he saw the steed neighing, and the front hoof of his mount stepped on Sun Futong's body abruptly.

After Sun Futong died, Tang Jun began to lose his morale.However, Sun Futong's words were deeply imprinted in their hearts, "Don't you just watch the Turkic cavalry charge into the city, kill your parents, and rape your wife?" Life and death withstood the impact of the Turkic cavalry.

However, the Turkic cavalry gradually moved forward, and the cavalry outside the city continued to pour in.Therefore, the remaining Tang army could not stop the Turkic cavalry entering the city.They continued to end their lives and missions under the iron hooves and scimitars of the Turkic cavalry, and no one retreated.

Lost in thought, he looked at the last few Tang soldiers who would rather die than retreat, and swore to protect the land ten feet behind them, with amazement in their eyes.

Suzhou coach Wang Kuan did not hesitate to order the soldiers to let the people out of the city through the north gate after knowing Sun Futong's message through the message of his own soldiers.However, Turkic wanted to let go of this important road on purpose, but it allowed Wang Kuan to leave the city smoothly and lead the people towards Daizhou.But there were only a few people Wang Kuandao left, and they were all the sons of noble families and rich households in Suzhou City.Therefore, the people in the city are still lingering under the iron heels of the Turkic cavalry, waiting for their massacre.

After the Turkic cavalry entered Suzhou, they burned, killed, looted, and did everything they could to turn Suzhou into a paradise of fire and a sea of ​​blood.

Outside the city, Jieli standing on a high place was watching the Turkic cavalry burning, killing and looting in the city with cold eyes. Ashina Sheer beside him asked Wang Kuan in puzzlement when he saw Wang Kuan fleeing from the north gate, "Daddy?" Why didn't Khan send troops to guard the north gate?"

"Isn't this even more demoralizing for the Tang army?" Jieli said in a deep voice, "The greatest weakness of the Tang people is their fear of death. If they have no escape route, they may still fight us to the end. Now, there is a jump On the way to escape, they have long lost the courage to resist in order to survive. The biggest characteristic of Tang people is that they dare to sacrifice at the critical moment of life and death. They are usually too selfish to think about themselves. Therefore, even if they are educated and have fertile land , there are countless strong soldiers. But they can only tremble under our iron hooves." Speaking of this, Jieli glanced at Ashina Sheer, "Our purpose of coming to the host this time is to surprise the host, as long as the treasure and women are There is no need to fight head-on with the Tang army here and increase too many casualties. Therefore, letting them live and hitting their morale is the best way to attack the city."

"The general will be educated." Ashina Sheer said respectfully.He had already understood Xieli's wisdom when he was with him.That's why he chose him to be his master and his own khan.

Xieli was speechless, but the cries of women in the city, the cries of old people and children were like a tragic pastoral song, which made him fall into the scene of fighting everywhere in the grassland.
