Martial Sage

The coach camp.

Now that the 100,000 elite soldiers led by Li Xiaogong have quietly merged into Su Dingfang's army, the nets for the battle have been arranged.

Li Xiaogong used tea instead of wine, tasted a sip, and asked.

"Now, what's the situation?"

The lieutenant looked solemn, cupped fist said.

"It's worse than we expected. According to reports from the scout, this grassland is still increasing its troops. A rough estimate is that the Turkic population has roughly 180,000 soldiers."

Listening to this number, Li Xiaogong frowned.

150,000 vs. 180,000. In terms of numbers alone, this Turkic side has the advantage.

Li Xiaogong touched his chin and said in a deep voice.

"According to the current situation, if a war breaks out, Datang will have no advantage to me."

The lieutenant was silent, and the number of Turkic troops in front of them completely exceeded their expectations.

There was silence in the camp.

The lieutenant smiled bitterly.

"Such a stalemate is not a solution. According to my estimation, the Turkic forces will eventually ascending to 190,000. By then..."

Halfway through, the lieutenant did not say any more.

There is no doubt that the cavalry of Datang is well equipped. Although these barbarians are not as good as Tang in terms of equipment, they have their own advantages. They grew up on horseback, good at riding and shooting, archery, Bufan, and these foreign races, who are hairy and blood-drinking, are naturally brave and warlike.

As far as the current situation is concerned, if Jie Li Khan does not divide his forces, this battle is destined to be weak for Datang.

Looking at Li Xiaogong's slightly old face, the lieutenant sighed slightly in his heart.

"Hey! The outstanding General Li is a veteran in the end, and his mind is not as radical as he was when he was young. He is steady and steady. Step by step has become a benchmark in his heart. If this continues, many good opportunities have been missed in vain!"

Li Xiaogong was silent for a long time, and then suddenly changed.

"Why didn't the Turkic army see the division? What happened to Xiangcheng?"

The lieutenant smiled bitterly. I have sent my scout to investigate, and it will probably not take long for news to come. "

Seeing that Li Xiaogong fell into contemplation again, the deputy general guessed that Li Xiaogong was still focusing on the division of Turkic forces, and then said tentatively.

"General, the Turks are still increasing their troops, and the war is about to start. Even if there is news from Xiangcheng on the west side, I am afraid that the Turks will not send troops rashly in consideration of the overall situation."

Li Xiaogong seemed to have found a scapegoat, and slapped the tea set over and snarled.

"Delayed fighters! If this battle cannot be won, I will punish those two boys!"

Surprised by Li Xiaogong's sudden rage, the vice general couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and said in his heart.

"It was a military order given by the coach to attack Xiangcheng and go straight to Yinshan. However, these few days have passed, and this Xiangcheng is like stagnant water without any movement. This charge of delaying the fighter is enough for the two boys to drink a pot. "

The lieutenant originally had some sympathy for these two young boys, but now he feels a little regretful.

"Report."

At this moment, a scout rushed into the account, half kneeling on the ground, looking hurried.

Li Xiaogong's face was gloomy, looking at the scout, his anger was unabated, and he shouted.

"What's the matter!"

The scout replied loudly.

"Report from Datong Mansion, Xiangcheng has been broken."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Xiaogong and his deputy's face changed slightly.

The lieutenant hurriedly asked: "When did it happen?"

The scout said truthfully.

"The scouts from Datong Mansion approached Xiangcheng two days ago and found that the city gate was wide open. When they approached, they found that Xiangcheng was in ruins. Judging from which Turkic corpses were burned, it should have been on August 2nd. Ten days."

August 20!

Hearing this date, Li Xiaogong and the lieutenant looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Isn't the date of this song coincidentally the day when Tang Hao and the others left Mayi for Eyangling?

According to the scout's calculations, it seems that Tang Hao's team must have taken Xiangcheng on the day they arrived at Eyangling!

Thinking of this, Li Xiaogong and the vice general's faces moved slightly.

The lieutenant only felt his throat dry, as if he was listening to a myth, his face was incredible, and he said slowly.

"This... how is this possible! Even Tang Hao secretly mobilized the Xuan Jia army but only three thousand three hundred men and horses, the cavalry attacked Xiangcheng?"

"They don't have any siege equipment! The city has high walls, how do you climb to the top of the city? What's more, there are still nine hundred Turkic people stationed in the city! This... how could this happen?"

The scout secretly glanced at the two of them and added.

"Return to the general, there are more than two thousand Turkic corpses in the city. Not nine hundred."

The lieutenant slumped on a chair on the side of the camp, mutteringly looking at the camp roof, said.

"Even if the Turkic soldiers can't fight back, their Qingqi still has the ability to fly to the sky? Can they cross the two-foot city wall?"

Li Xiaogong took a deep breath, with a complicated expression on his face, and he couldn't figure out the reason even when he touched his chin.

Suddenly, Li Xiaogong understood.

Why in the past few days, Jie Li Khan's Turkic army did not show any signs of mobilization.

It turns out that this Tang Hao killed all the Turkic soldiers in Xiangcheng, and none of them reported a letter. No wonder this Jie Li Khan did not get news of the destruction of the city!
