Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 405: Building a City from the Ground——
Xue Yantuo's army
"Boom boom boom!" Sitting at the top, Momocha vigorously knocked on a low table in front of him, shouting that enough is enough, he, the new leader, has heard enough of the quarrels of other tribal khans.However, even if he knocked on the table angrily, the others didn't take him as the leader seriously.They only cared about arguing with themselves, and the issue of the quarrel was naturally not to avenge Zhenzhu Khan.Momocha suddenly felt chills, Xue Yantuo fell apart immediately after his father left for a day.

It turned out that he thought that there were six or seven troops who sincerely supported his father in the past. Even if they didn't follow him to fight Datang, they would stabilize the position of the new leader for him, and at least protect him from Zhenzhu Khan's own tribe. people.But now, traitors, all traitors, are treacherous guys who should be eaten by the grassland wolf god.Looking at the scene in front of her, Momocha felt powerless, but at this moment, outside broke in to have a look.

"Khan, all Khans!" The Tanqi said in a panic, "Ten miles ahead, a city suddenly appeared!"

"What?" The Khans were shocked suddenly, and asked, "Where are we now? How come there is a city of Han people all of a sudden!"

Faced with such a city that popped up suddenly, the Khans of various tribes knew what the consequences would be, that is, they had already reached the territory of the Han people, and they were in danger of being encircled and suppressed.

After repeated confirmations by the khans, they found that the place they arrived at was correct, so they asked Tan Qidao: "Is the city fenced with wooden swords, or is it a wall made of stones?"

Tanqi thought for a while and said: "It's a stone, the city wall is still very thick, and there are Han soldiers standing on it."

Several khans looked at each other, and they all saw incredible in each other's eyes. One khan said: "Everyone, Zhenzhu Khan was captured by the Han people, and his life and death are unknown. If you don't even look at it now, it really doesn't make sense. If the Han people in front do not have the advantage of the city wall, we will definitely come back with Zhenzhu Khan. Alas, if there is a city wall in front of us for no reason, it means that even the great God of the Grassland takes care of the Han people, and we must not The winning rate, Khan can only, alas..."

The khans thought for a while, yes, it’s okay to go and have a look, the horses of the Han people can’t outrun us anyway, so we are not afraid of being chased by them.If we can fight well, let others fight first, let's grab a wave, but if we can't fight, let others fight first, and let's slip.Zhenzhu Khan is dead, and his army has been scattered by the Han people. It is better to go back and divide his cattle and sheep, so as to save the fat and water from flowing into the fields of outsiders.

Therefore, all the khans will go out of the tent of the Chinese army, lead their own soldiers and horses, and kill the generals.

Momocha stayed alone in the tent of the Chinese army, stroking the saber left by Khan Zhenzhu, which was sent by Li Jiancheng.Seeing things and thinking about feelings, Momocha felt the warmth and coldness of the world, and remembered the eyes of those Khans when they went out just now, and secretly thought that it was not good, regardless of success or failure this time, the people of my tribe will be divided up by them!

You go to the front, why don't I bring my troops back, gather the scattered soldiers of my tribe, and call on the remaining warriors of my tribe, and I'm going to capture your wives and children, so how dare you not respect me order?Heh heh, those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes, so let me just use that trick.

I promise the slaves on the grasslands, those who dare to follow me to win this battle, those who survive after the war, their children and grandchildren will become free people, and the children and grandchildren of free people will become the Khan's personal guards!Come on, warriors on the prairie, for your honor and freedom, fight for our Memocha!

Thinking, Momocha took hundreds of his defeated soldiers and headed north.

And other people, don't want to go back to their old nests with Momocha. Now, they bring their own soldiers and horses, and fly to the sand city and ice city built by Li Jiancheng.I saw an eight-foot-long city appearing in front of my eyes, with a length and width of nearly [-] steps. Except for the absence of a gate, everything else was similar to the Han people's cities I usually see.

At this time, the khans could no longer deceive their eyes, looking at the small city in front of them, helpless.Although the city is small, it is enough to block their highest weapon-horse.Moreover, when they saw soldiers standing on the city wall, it was obviously not a row of wooden pillars, but a real city wall.If it is a wooden pillar, it can be destroyed with a Turkic bow and arrow, and a few rounds of rockets can kill the soldiers behind the wall.But this real wall is different. It can not only stop the cavalry, but also have a bunker to avoid arrows.

Standing on the city wall, Xu Qing looked at the cavalry outside the city wall with binoculars, and saw that there were many of them, but each had one, and they were vigilant. If they didn't stand together, they knew that their hearts were not together. of.Last night, Xu Qing led the crowd to take turns to fight, without sleep, he insisted on raising the original five-foot city wall to eight feet.Only two city gates were left, not on the four walls, but under the city walls and the moat, which Xue Yantuo just couldn't see due to the problem of sight.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng also came out at this time, Xu Qing hurriedly put away the binoculars. Both Li and his son seem to have the habit of asking for a baby when they see it.

But seeing that Li Jiancheng was holding another person in custody, it was "Zhenzhu Khan", and immediately, someone shouted at Xue Yantuo: "Listen to Xue Yantuo on the opposite side, Zhenzhu Khan is under my knife, if you If you want to save his life, you should quickly rein in your troops and retreat."

I saw that the people on the opposite side divided up a group of people, rushed to the bottom of the city and said: "Listen, Han people, all of us khans, I want to see Zhenzhu Khan and verify his integrity."

Li Jiancheng said coldly: "See Zhenzhu Khan? Yes, if you retreat, Zhenzhu Khan will die. If you see a living person, if you don't retreat, then Zhenzhu Khan will die. What you see is a dead body."

The one headed by that group of troops replied: "This general, aren't you afraid that my grassland warriors would risk their lives to avenge Zhenzhu Khan?"

"There is no need to discuss it. If you don't retreat, you will kill Zhenzhu Khan on the city at noon tomorrow." Li Jiancheng replied: "Revenge, I will show you the bravery of the soldiers in the Central Plains. Go back, send the archers guest!"

"you……"

The visitor had no choice but to drive his horse back.Soon after, tens of thousands of cavalrymen pitched tents outside the ice sand city.Xu Qing smiled, it seems that these people wished that Zhenzhu Khan died.

Xu Qing walked up to Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness, the officials see that Xue Yantuo is already at odds with each other. Tonight, you can send an assassination team out for a sneak attack."

Li Jiancheng looked at Xu Qing and said, "No need, they will retreat without a fight, what else is there to attack?"

Xu Qing thought for a while and said again: "Your Highness, take advantage of the low temperature to strengthen the city wall that night."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "You can have this, you can send troops to repair the city wall."

Feng Li walked behind Xu Qing at this time, and said behind his back: "Master Xu, do you know why the crown prince doesn't let you attack?"
