Chapter 24: Jie Li is in the clouds again(2/2)
"Send the order for Simo to go and meet the enemy!"
"As you command!"
Ashina Simo led a group of soldiers and horses to kill the Tang army who came for support.
The reinforcements were led by general Cheng Yaojin.
"Turkish thief, die!"
After resting in the rear for such a long time, Cheng Yaojin felt that he was getting rusty. Now that he had seized this opportunity, how could he let it go?
The ambition to be trapped in a battle leads to death but not life.
Yuchi Gong, who was on the top of the city, saw the reinforcements arriving, and immediately ordered people to spread the news. The morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and they stubbornly repelled the Turkic attack.
The two sides fought fiercely for several hours, but in the end neither could do anything to the other.
Jie Li temporarily stopped his troops, while Cheng Yaojin took advantage of the situation and stationed himself outside the city, forming an angle with Yunzhong to guard against the Turks' troops.
That night, Jieli sent an army to attack Cheng Yaojin's camp at night.
But Cheng Yaojin didn't let him succeed.
"Hey, I know that Jie Li is not a good bird. Thanks to General Li for reminding him, otherwise he would have been tricked. My sons, follow me and kill the enemy!"
In the night, as the Tang army's ferocious tigers came out of the gate, the Turkic attack strategy failed. The thousands of Turkic soldiers and horses who attacked the Tang army's camp were all beheaded by Cheng Yaojin.
After Jie Li learned the news, he was not very angry, but secretly cursed the cunning Tang people.
In his view, this war ultimately depends on the outcome on the frontal battlefield.
As long as he wins the frontal battlefield, he wins.
