Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 499 Turkic Siege of Yunzhou
After the Eastern Turks were defeated by Pei Xingjian, the remnants of Ashid's service, in order to avenge the captured Ashit's post, took refuge in Ashit Wenfu.

And under the instruction of Ash Dewen Fu, [-] Turkic troops launched an attack on Datang Yunzhou, and [-] Turkic cavalry soldiers approached the city of Yunzhou.

"Quick, fast, fast, the Turks are coming!" The Yunzhou defenders found that the Turkic cavalry was coming to attack, and the soldiers in the city were carrying all the defensive things such as thunder, rocks and logs.

The garrison of Yunzhou was waiting in full battle, and the Turkic cavalry outside the city were menacing.

"How many soldiers and horses does Turkic have?" the general of Yunzhou asked.

"There are [-] cavalry! With our strength, we may not be able to defend Yunzhou City." The lieutenant general said.

"Whether you defend it or not, you must stick to Yunzhou City for me. Even if we all die in battle, the Turks must not succeed."

"Light the wolf smoke, have you reported to the rear?" the general of Yunzhou asked.

"The wolf smoke has been lit, and the nearby counties and counties should be able to see it. Maybe they will send troops to rescue us." The lieutenant general said.

The defenders of Yunzhou City cannot repel the Turkic people, at most they will try their best to hold on, and now they can only pin their hopes on the reinforcements.

"Attack!" The moment they were talking, the Turkic general roared and ordered an attack. The [-] Turkic cavalry dismounted and became infantry, and launched an attack on Yunzhou.

"The Turkic people are coming, everyone get ready!" The general defending the city ordered immediately.

The defenders were in their positions, the archers drew their bows and set arrows, and the defenders were ready. The Turks attacked the city of Yunzhou, and the defenders fought back.

After a bloody battle, the Yunzhou defender blocked [-] Turkic cavalry outside Yunzhou City, and the Turkic cavalry besieged Yunzhou City.

In Daizhou Dudu's Mansion, Dou Huaiqiang convened the officials under his command to discuss the rescue of Yunzhou. Dou Huaiqiang had just received the wolf smoke from the direction of Yunzhou, where the enemy had invaded.

"Everyone, now that the Turkic people are invading, it's time for us to serve the court. I, Dou Huaiqiang, decided to lead the troops to rescue Yunzhou. Chang Shi will handle all the affairs of Daizhou." Dou Huaiqiang said.

"Wait a minute, governor!" Acting Governor Shi stood up and said.

"What does Chang Shi have to say?" Dou Huaichou asked.

"Tens of thousands of Turkic troops besieged Yunzhou, and Daizhou only had a few thousand soldiers, which is simply insufficient. If we go to reinforce it like this, we will all go in if Yunzhou does not clear the siege." Chang Shi said.

Daizhou has less than [-] soldiers and horses, so it is impossible to take all of them to rescue Yunzhou. After all, Daizhou still needs soldiers and horses to protect it.

What if at this time, Dou Huaicang had just left on his front foot, and a Turkic cavalry was killed on his back foot, what would he use to defend Daizhou.

Chang Shi worried that this might be a Turkic plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he had to do it.

"Then what do you think we should do? Do nothing and just wait for Yunzhou to be breached by the Turks. If His Majesty finds out about this."

"If this is blamed, you and I can't afford it. It's a small matter to lose an official, and I'm afraid that the emperor will be furious and kill everyone." Dou Huaichou said.

It's not that he didn't think about it, it's very likely that the Turkic people turned the tiger away from the mountain.

If the states near Yunzhou do not go to rescue, the Turks will break through Yunzhou, and then Yunzhou will become a hell on earth.

If the surrounding states go to reinforce the city, they may be taken advantage of by the Turks because of insufficient defenders and break into the city.

But it's impossible not to rescue him, and Dou Huaichou has nothing to do.

"We can expedite it by [-] miles and report to Chang'an urgently, and ask your Majesty to send troops to rescue." Chang Shi said.

"It's okay to report to Chang'an, but the long-distance water can't quench the near-thirst. After this time and time again, Yunzhou has already fallen. If we don't do anything, we still cannot escape the responsibility." Dou Huaicheng said.

This written report must be typed, but you can't just wait here and do nothing.

"The governor can bring a thousand soldiers and horses, and at the same time notify the nearby prefectures and counties to send troops. When they reach the border of Yunzhou, there must be tens of thousands of troops." Chang Shi said.

The problem of insufficient troops can be solved by drawing troops from various states and counties, and there is no need to worry about not having enough troops to guard the city.

As for mobilizing the whole city to fight against the Turks, unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise, they will not do so anyway.

It's just that the states and counties are far and near from Yunzhou, and I'm afraid they won't be able to gather together in a short period of time, and there is no emperor's edict.

"That's the only way to do it! Immediately send all the messengers to the states and counties to ask them to cooperate, and send an urgent message to Chang'an for [-] miles to report to His Majesty." Dou Huaichou said.

"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and left.

"Report!" A soldier rushed over, clasped his fists and said, "Report to the governor, the general on the right, Cheng Wuting, is begging to see you!"

Dou Huaicang and others were overjoyed when they heard this. Cheng Wuting had [-] soldiers in his hands.

Pei Xingjian's team returned to the court, but left Cheng Wuting to continue the pursuit and wipe out the remnants of the Turks. Pei Xingjian was worried that Cui Zhiti would not be able to deal with the remnants of the Turks.

Therefore, before going back, Pei Xingjian asked Cheng Wuting to stay and continue to encircle and suppress the Turkic remnants.

Cheng Wuting chased the Turkic remnants all the way through Daizhou, so he wanted to replenish some supplies in Daizhou, and then pursued the Turkic remnants in the direction of Yunzhou.

Cheng Wuting also saw the smoke from the direction of Yunzhou, so he concluded that the Turkic remnants were attacking Yunzhou at this time.

"What are you still doing in a daze, please hurry up!" Dou Huaichou said.

"No!" The soldiers led the order to retreat.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Cheng Wuting in military uniform appeared in front of Dou Huaicang.

"Dou Dudu!" Cheng Wuting clasped his fists at Dou Huaicang and saluted.

"General Cheng!" Dou Huaicheng clasped his fists and saluted, "I don't know why General Cheng came to Daizhou?"

"I am under the order of Pei Xingjian, the general manager of the Dingxiang Army, to wipe out the remnants of the Turks and pursue them all the way to Daizhou. I want to replenish military supplies in Daizhou."

"I also hope that Governor Dou can make it convenient for me and my soldiers and horses to provide food and grass, and I have to go after the remnants of the Turks." Cheng Wu said.

Cheng Wu's advance into Daizhou City was to replenish military supplies so that he could continue to pursue and suppress the remnants of the Turks. Dou Huaichen was the governor of Daizhou, and he needed his consent to replenish military supplies in Daizhou.

Therefore, Cheng Wuting had to come to Daizhou City to pay a visit to the governor of Daizhou, Dou Huaicang.

"So that's the case. Food and grass are not a problem. I will ask someone to provide enough food and grass for your army."

"It's just that now, smoke is rising in the direction of Yunzhou, and there are tens of thousands of Turks attacking Yunzhou. To be honest, our Daizhou has limited troops and cannot deploy too many soldiers and horses to rescue Yunzhou."

"It's impossible to go all out, so I want to ask General Cheng to send troops to rescue Yunzhou with me." Dou Huaichen said.

Now, Dou Huaichang can only pin his hopes on Cheng Wuting, hoping that he can send out some soldiers to help him rescue Yunzhou together.

Dou Huaichang didn't know, but Cheng Wuting also planned to go to Yunzhou.
