"Your Majesty, Jie Li Khan wants to retreat his troops to return north, but he is unwilling to return like this without success. Therefore, he sent Zhi Shisili to intimidate him. Your Majesty must not be fooled." Li Junxian reminded the emperor that he had the latest information first-hand, so he was very clear about the current situation of the Turks.
Jie Li is also in a dilemma now.
Even the small Dingxiang City could not be captured, let alone encircled and annihilated Luo Siye.
He originally thought that everyone would hate the hot summer days and didn't want to attack the city. It would be fine. He would surround him first and wait for the Tang Xia and his army to come and ask them to attack the city. After all, they were more professional in attacking the city, and secondly, their soldiers would not feel sorry for their death.
Unexpectedly, Chai Shao wasted a lot of time in Jiuyuan City and finally forced arriving in Yundingxing. As soon as his troops left, he was coming to Dingxiang. Halfway through the road, he encountered a mountain torrent and flood in Hetao, blocking his way. Chai Shao took a detour, but this detour took another half a month.
It has not reached the rendezvous until now.
As for Dou Jiande, Gao Kaidao, Gao Tansheng, and Liu Wuzhou's 100,000 coalition forces, they besieged Liu Hongji in Yunnei, but they were still unable to conquer them.
It is known as the coalition forces of 600,000.
But until now, Jie Li's Turkic soldiers were fighting alone.
Jie Li felt that he had been fooled, and the situation in the Central Plains was not as good as Li Yuan and the others said, "There are opportunities to take advantage of, and the rushing troops south to take advantage of the situation."
The traitor Asnathmo was as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit. A Turkic special agent worked so hard after surrendering to Qin, and he was also very good at defending the city.
"Jie Li wants to play tricks with me, but he is too young. I think I was a master of playing tricks in gold flowers back then."
"Your Majesty, what is the deceitful golden flower?" Li Junxian asked in confusion.
"Oh, nothing." The emperor smiled.
June 1st.
Dingxiang City fiercely sieges the city all day long, fighting fiercely until night.
At midnight, the Turks finally broke into the east gate in the rain and occupied the urn.
The sound of killing shook the sky, and the arrows were like locusts.
Jie Li Khan personally supervised the battle in Dingxiang City and ordered that Dingxiang City be taken down at all costs. Luo Cheng had arrived in Taiyuan, and the Hebei tribes lost one after another. If he could not take Dingxiang again, then Jie Li would be in trouble.
Luo Simo, Duke of Shunguo in the city, commanded the Turkic soldiers under his command and asked them to attack Jie Li's troops and regain the breakthrough.
In the past month, the Dingxiang defenders have taken back the lost city gap several times, preventing Jie Li's army from breaking the city.
But today, although the defenders repeatedly attacked, they still couldn't work.
It was heavy rain.
The bowstrings have lost their performance.
The dark rainy night blocked the defenders' vision.
Jie Li's Turkic army rushed around like a wave. Without the support of the crossbow, the defenders' combat power was greatly reduced.
Breakthrough in the east gate.
The battle entered the city.
Simo personally went to the bell and drum tower on Dongmen Street to observe the battle situation and organized street battles between the defenders and courts.
The retreating defenders relied on the streets and residences to block Jie Li's army step by step.
Jie Li's army entered the city like a tide, and fought with Simo's army to fight for the house.
At dawn.
The rain finally stopped.
Dingxiang City finally fell completely into the hands of Jie Lijun.
A Turkic general reported to Jie Li Khan, "Our army has taken down Dingxiang City, killed more than 3,000 Han troops, killed more than 6,000 Turks and Tiele troops who had surrendered to Qin before, and captured more than 10,000 people in the city."
"Where is Asnathmo?" Jie Li asked.
"After the city was broken last night, he took more than a thousand cavalry out of Dingxiang City while the heavy rain and went south."
"Run away? You actually let this traitor run away?" Jie Li was not excited at all after he seized the city. Although this city was once the Khan city of the Turkic Qimin Khan and Shibi Khan, and he had also grown up here, he was not happy at all now.
All he got was a broken city and the population of more than 20,000.
"Kill all those prisoners, those are our enemies."
"Khan, did the Turks kill them?"
Jie Li said coldly, "They surrendered to the Luo Cheng brothers with Simo, but this time they fought to the death for more than a month. If these traitors don't kill them, they will do whatever they want, kill them all, and not keep them."
"Where are those women and children?"
"Although they are women and children, the Han women and children are traitors, wives and children, and they are all enemies. If they don't leave any one, they will kill them!"
Under Dingxiang City.
On the banks of the Jinshui River.
After the Turks captured Dingxiang City, they launched a bloody massacre of the surviving soldiers and people in the city.
More than 20,000 ounces, no one left, and all of them were killed.
The heads built a tall Jingguan under the city, while the headless corpse filled the Golden River, and the blood stained the surface of the Ten Mile River red.
Rosmo broke through the siege and retreated to the city of Dali, gathered with the three thousand defenders in the city, and continued to resist the Turks.
After Jie Li slaughtered Dingxiang City, he continued to go south.
Taking advantage of the coolness after the rain, the Turkic army launched a tide-like attack on the small Dali City again.
More than 4,000 defenders gritted their teeth and fought to the death, killing the Turks one after another.
The small city of Dali is like a small reef in a sea storm. It is surrounded by layers of waves and may be submerged at any time, but it has been tenaciously holding on.
A feather arrow flew over Smo's face, took away a piece of flesh, leaving a deep arrow mark.
Ke Simo still refused to retreat and stood at the top of the city to command the city defense.
The red battle flag of the Qin Dynasty hanging high above the city fell among the feather arrows and flying stones all over the sky.
But soon, the tattered military flag was held up again.
Jie Li ordered people to throw fireballs into the city. The burning fireballs lit most of the city, and fires burst into flames everywhere, and thick smoke filled the sky.
Jie Li's army once again used the tactic of breaking Dingxiang City, and fired countless bows and arrows, and fired in a simple catapult cart between them, suppressing the defenders on the city with firepower. Then a group of Turkic soldiers rushed to the city with long ladders, set up ladders, and began to climb the city with swords.
The general trend will eventually go.
At dusk.
Jie Li's army finally broke through the city defense and entered the city.
One after another, the defenders were killed by Jie Li's army.
Simo held a horizontal knife given by the emperor, waved left and right, and still fought to the death under the escort of his personal soldiers.
"Long live my emperor!"
"Fight to the last moment!"
"I am loyal to the Great Qin and my emperor!"
Simo is like a bloody god of war, and he vows to never retreat.
I no longer have the chance to break through again, and today may be the place of death.
When the flag bearer around him also fell down, Simo stepped forward and raised the military flag and continued to fight.
The last soldier was stabbed by several spears and roared unwillingly and died.
The battle reached the last person.
The right commander of the Dingxiang Road of Qin Dynasty, and the right Xuanwu Army envoy, Luo Simo, Duke of Shunguo, put the imperial treasure sword on his neck, and he slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, the knife was knocked down.
Then, he was pressed down and captured.
Later, a group of Turkic soldiers cheered and carried him to Jie Li's flag.
Chapter completed!
