Chapter 768 Follow Me (Part [-])
Thirty miles outside Youjing City.

A fort built in the middle of the mountain, with black smoke billowing straight up, and the woods in the middle of the mountain were burned to the ground, obviously just experienced a bloody battle.

On the wall of the Mamianqiangfang on the first floor outside Wubao, there are corpses everywhere. On the road leading to the black mud in the city, the berth is bleeding down the mountain. In a half-collapsed house, there are long and short transmissions baby's cry.

Jieli Khan rode his horse from the bottom of the mountain all the way to the top of the mountain. Halfway through the journey, the horse's hooves were covered with blood.

Seeing the corpses of many Turkic soldiers being carried out one by one, Jieli Khan couldn't help but frowned and asked the general behind him, "How many troops did you use to attack this Wubao?"

"Reporting to Khan, two thousand-man teams have been dispatched!"

"How many people were killed or injured?"

"More than 200."

Jieli Khan immediately reined in his horse and shouted, "How could there be so many casualties?"

The general quickly said: "Report to Khan, the opponent's resistance is very fierce."

"You deceive me, don't you understand? This is just a Wubao, not a county seat. There are only Zhao Jun's soldiers in the Wubao at most. You beat me like this, and someone dragged it down for me, chopped it up and fed it to the dogs."

Jieli Khan was furious, and Zhao Deyan stepped forward and said, "Khan calm down, not only this Wubao, but also the Wubao near Youjing. Zhao Guo has established the country with martial arts in the past few years, and the people in the territory respect martial arts. They are warlike, and the land of Yanzhao is originally a tough people, so these casualties are also normal."

After hearing this, Jie Li looked at the captured general and said, "Let him go, but you will confiscate half of your loot from capturing this Wubao as punishment."

Seeing that he was alive, the general knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Khan won't kill him." At the same time, he showed a grateful look to Zhao Deyan.

And all the generals were in awe when they saw that Xieli was clearly rewarded and punished.

The general said: "Khan, there are still more than 300 prisoners who captured Wubao. They are all old and weak. Have they all been killed?"

Jieli Khan thought for a while and said: "No, leave thirty young people, kill the rest of the captives in front of them, and then let these people escape and let them tell the Zhao people that this is to resist our Turkic cavalry. You have to know that defeating the Zhao people is not enough, we have to destroy their courage and make their legs weak when they hear the sound of our Turkic horseshoes."

The generals at the side praised together: "Khan is brilliant."

Jieli said: "Okay, tell the scattered warriors to gather under the city of Youjing. There will be a big battle soon."

Zhao Deyan said: "Khan, Great Zhao Youjing's troops are empty, this battle is our opportunity to avenge our shame."

Jieli laughed loudly and said, "That's right, this time I want to teach Zhao people a profound lesson!"

At the north gate of Youjing, the people fleeing from the north are crowding in front of the city gate. The soldiers of Zhao Jun below the city are trying their best to maintain the order of entering the city. The people are in a hurry at this time, but most of them still obey the command Into the city one after another.

Li Zhiwan and Jian Xue were sitting on the carriage, together with more than a dozen inner court guards, they all followed the ranks of common people and moved slowly.

"Miss has waited for two hours and hasn't entered the city yet. Look, it's almost dark today. If the Turkic people come, what shall we do?" Jian Xue pouted.

When Jian Xue said that, Li Zhiwan shook her head, but suddenly her eyes froze.

Li Zhiwan was sitting on the carriage, but she walked to the front of the carriage, looked to the north and said: "No, the Turks have already arrived."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of horseshoes could be heard in the distance, and then hundreds of people running from the north shouted: "The Turks are coming, the Turks are coming, run!"

As soon as the news came out, there were still [-] to [-] people outside the city who hadn't entered the city yet. They were all panicked and rushed towards the gate of the city, regardless of the order.All around were people scrambling to pass by, the guards guarding Li Zhiwan rushed to the top of the carriage, looked north but saw that the sky was already dark at this time, and it was difficult to see how many Turks had come.

All that can be seen are countless faint torches, shaking on the plain below the mountain.

Jian Xue covered her mouth, as if to blame her crow's mouth, which attracted the Turkic people, but the general guarding Li Zhiwan jumped out of the carriage, clasped his fists to Li Zhiwan and said, "Your concubine, the Turkic people It's already time to kill, and it's too late for us to slowly enter the city like this. You will follow the last general in a while."

Speaking of this, the general shouted to the left and right: "We will protect the princess and enter the city together."

The left and right guards drew their swords at the same time, apparently they were planning to drive away the crowd and squeeze into the city gate.Li Zhiwan shook her head and said: "No, if this is not trampling on other common people, living because of oneself and hurting other common people, how can I feel at ease."

The general said: "The last general's task is to protect the empress, as for the rest, the last general can't control so much."

Li Zhiwan said: "No, we don't have to go to Youjing, we can ride directly to the south. The Turkic troops should be just forward scouts. In order to test the reality of Youjing, they will definitely not chase south."

The general was not willing to listen, but seeing Li Zhiwan's resolute expression, he didn't dare to talk back and could only say yes.

At this time, the people in front of the Youjing city gate shouted in unison, it turned out that the people poured into the Youjing city gate against the direction, and they forcibly closed half of the gate.

In the dark, it was difficult to see whether the Turkic soldiers were real or not. It was obvious that the guards were afraid that the Turks would kill the city gates, so they closed the gates ahead of time.But all the people thought that the gate of the city was about to be closed, so they immediately went towards the gate.The city gate is congested.The people even clashed with the soldiers guarding the city.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhiwan said to the general: "Now you still want to take me into the city gate?"

The general did not dare to argue after hearing this.But Li Zhiwan made an unexpected move, she drew her sword and cut off all the cables on the carriage.Pull out all the two pack horses leading the carriage.

"My concubine, what are you going to do?"

Li Zhiwan said: "Of course it's on the horse!"

Li Zhiwan jumped on the pack horse, galloped to the place where the people gathered nearby, and said to the men gathered around: "The Turkic people are coming, are you willing to follow me to kill the Turkic people and protect your family?"

Hearing what Li Zhiwan said, the men present who were rushing towards the city gate stopped one after another. Some of them were hesitant, while some still rushed towards the city gate without asking.

At this time, dozens of men riding Youyan came on horseback.Everyone knew they were local rangers.The people of Yanzhao have been tough since ancient times, and most of them are the courageous children of Qingxia who gather together to imitate the generosity and chivalry of Jing and Nie, and fight with others when they move.

After dozens of rides, one of them turned his eyes on Li Zhiwan and said, "I thought we were the only men left in Dazhao. I didn't expect a woman to come forward, she's quite beautiful. Brother, I admire."

"Bold and rude." Jian Xue said angrily when she saw the other party's frivolous expression.

Li Zhiwan stopped Jian Xue and said, "Now that the enemy is at hand, are you willing to fight back the Turks together with me?"

"Your Majesty, don't take the risk lightly!" Hearing that Li Zhiwan was going to attack the Turkic army, the generals in the house hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

Li Zhiwan turned her head, stared at her with phoenix eyes and said, "Do you dare not listen to my words?"

The general of the guards lowered his head and said, "I'm worried that the empress might make a mistake."

Li Zhiwan pointed to the Turkic cavalry in the dim night: "I have been a concubine for less than a year, but I have been a general for more than ten years, so what are you afraid of? Are you willing to follow me?"

The last sentence was Li Zhiwan asking the group of rangers, the person who spoke lightly just now, seeing Li Zhiwan's awe-inspiring expression, did not dare to make fun of him and clasped his fists, "Of course!"

Seeing this, Li Zhiwan rode her horse and came among the people and said, "There are only a few hundred Turkic scouts coming here. If you don't resist, you will have to be killed by them. You may die if you kill the enemy before the city gate, but it can make your The family survived. As a woman, I am willing to charge forward, are you willing to come with me?
When the nearby men saw someone taking the lead, they all said, "We are willing to follow you."

"Yeah, you see, even a delicate woman is not afraid of Turkic people. We have nothing to be afraid of."

"I'm willing to go, too. I'll die at worst. I'll still be a man 18 years later."

On the other side of the official road, there are four members of a family, namely father-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and a three-year-old boy.

"Mother, you bring your son and our father into the city, and I will guard here for you. If we don't stop you, we will enter the city immediately, and I will die in peace."

"It's none of your business that you stupid son-in-law come back to me." The father-in-law scolded the son-in-law, wanting to drag him back with all his might.

The son-in-law shook his head and said, "My mother, father, I have lived so long, and today I feel that I am a human being."

"Fuck you, what kind of person is dead?" Father-in-law cursed, but the man didn't turn his head back.

The soldiers of the Zhao army who were scattered by the people nearby, as well as men with weapons and horses gathered together and followed behind Li Zhiwan and other cavalry.Farther behind, thousands of unarmed Qianshou followed them.

The night wind blew over Li Zhiwan's face, and the horseshoes in front of her were like thunder. Li Zhiwan, who had not been in battle for a long time, did not feel unfamiliar at all, but opened her bow and shot an arrow at the oncoming Turkic cavalry.

The horse in front neighed, and a Turkic fell off the horse.

"Good shot!"

The men on the left and right yelled at the same time, while the leader of the rangers and the generals of the guards were all dumbfounded. They shot down the Turkic cavalry with an arrow hundreds of steps away. They couldn't believe that such a good cavalry shot appeared on a woman.

Seeing that Li Zhiwan was so powerful, everyone still had any doubts at the moment, so they rushed along with Li Zhiwan.

An hour later, the Turkic Central Army tent.

A fast horse went towards the Chinese army, and a Turkic ranger covered in blood entered the big tent and knelt down to Jieli, saying, "Khan, it's not good, the scouts we sent were ambushed by Zhao Jun in Youjing." , the three centurions were all annihilated by the Zhao army."
