Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2255 A Play
Outside Jinsha City, the wind was cold and bleak.

After the news that Fenggui City was breached by Xiliang soldiers and horses came, the morale of the soldiers here was a little low, especially after they knew that Fenggui City was actually their Tuyuhun granary, they were even more disappointed.

The food they stored in Tuyuhun is gone, and they have been plundered by Xiliang, so are they going to be short of food?
They may not be unable to eat, but they are a little worried.

And at this time, Li Ke, the king of Shu, came to Jinsha City with Tang Jun in peace.

When Mahadoli heard the news, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew that Tang Jun would definitely take advantage of this time to attack the city.

"Soldiers, cheer me up. No matter what, you must defend Jinsha City. The Tang army has no gunpowder. It will not be easy to capture Jinsha City."

After he said this, all the soldiers immediately shouted loudly: "Defend Jinsha City to the death."

"Swear to the death to guard the Sands City."

"..."

The morale of the soldiers in Tuyuhun was high.

Downstairs, after seeing this situation, Li Ke, King of Shu, only showed a slight smile, and then shouted: "Listen, Mahadori, my Tang Dynasty can give you another chance, if you are willing to surrender to my Datang, I, Datang, can spare your life."

"Hmph, if you want me to surrender Tuyuhun, there is no door, if you have the ability, come and attack the city, and see if I am afraid of Mahatari."

Li Ke showed a sneer, then waved his hand and said, "Kill!"

With an order, Tang Jun under the city did not hesitate, and immediately killed Jinsha City.

They are Tang Jun, but they have not yet joined the Xiliang army. This is unacceptable to them. It is the most honorable thing to be a Tang army. When did the Xiliang soldiers dare to separate them?
Therefore, they must win this battle.

Tang Jun killed bravely, but on Tuyuhun's side, they showed no mercy at all. They were still desperately defending the city.

Therefore, although the Tang army had a great impact and almost broke through their defenses many times, the troops of Tuyuhun still tenaciously defended Jinsha City.

However, when the fighting between the two sides was in full swing, the secret message from Tuyuhun King City had already arrived.

"General, a letter from the king."

Hearing this, Mahadoli was a little strange, how could their king deliver the letter at this time?

However, even though the battle was urgent, he couldn't ignore their king's letter.

Therefore, Mahadoli quickly opened the envelope to check, and after he read it, his face became a little ugly.

At this time, the Tang army under the city was still fighting hard, the blood under the city was about to flow into a river, the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the smell of blood was pungent, making people want to vomit.

Mahadori was a little tangled and hesitant.

But after thinking about it like this, he still bit his lip and ordered: "Stop defending."

After his order was issued, all the generals were taken aback, some of them didn't understand what Mahadari meant.

"General, stop defending?"

Mahadoli nodded and said, "Tell the soldiers to retreat."

"Retreat?" Everyone was even more confused. If they retreated, wouldn't it be tantamount to abandoning the entire Jinsha City, and they would abandon the city?
Just now, they were still yelling to defend Jinsha City to the death, why are they abandoning the city and running away now?
They couldn't understand it, but Mahadoli didn't explain too much, but just repeated: "Order to go down, retreat, those who disobey the order will be dealt with by military law."

Obviously, Mahadoli was determined. Those Tuyuhun soldiers were very unwilling and unhappy. They wanted to curse, but the general gave orders, so they had no choice but to Hastily retreated.

Tuyuhun's soldiers retreated, and the defense of the entire Jinsha City began to weaken, so that there was no defense in the end.

Tang Jun rushed in quickly.

"My lord, these soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun are really useless, so they retreated."

"Hahaha, who's to say it's not? Now that we've conquered the Sands City, it shouldn't be a problem if we want to destroy Tuyuhun, right?"

"That's right, that's right. If you want to destroy Tuyuhun, there is no problem."

Everyone didn't know the deal between Shu Wang Li Ke and Turati, so they thought it must be their bravery that scared away the Tuyuhun soldiers.

And they refused to give up after scaring away Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses, and wanted to destroy the Tuyuhun Kingdom directly.

After Li Ke, king of Shu, heard this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Don't you all think that Tuyuhun's withdrawal is strange?"

Everyone was stunned: "What's strange, they lost to us."

Li Ke, King of Shu, shook his head: "Although they were defeated, their strength is not weak. It should be no problem to persist for two or three days, but they didn't persist, but chose to escape like this, which is a bit unreasonable. .”

After being explained by Li Ke, the king of Shu, everyone felt that this was really the case.

"What the prince said is very true, this matter is indeed strange, so what does the prince think, what is the purpose of Tuyuhun's move?"

Everyone turned their attention to Li Ke, King of Shu, and Li Ke said quietly: "I'm afraid, that Tuyuhun is afraid that our troops will be defeated one by one, so he wants to gather troops to their Tuyuhun King City, so that their troops will become very powerful, without gunpowder. , It is almost impossible for us soldiers and horses to capture Tuyuhun King City."

If all of Tuyuhun's forces were gathered in the royal city, then their forces were indeed powerful, and it would be very unwise for them to attack the city with such a small force.

Everyone thinks what Shu Wang Li Ke said makes sense.

"My lord, if Tuyuhun really gathers troops in Wangcheng, what should we do next?"

Li Ke, king of Shu, thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, we can't act rashly. We have to wait until the gunpowder arrives before making any plans."

At that time, it was obviously unwise to attack the King City of Tuyuhun, and the only way to go would be to die, so Li Ke, King of Shu, felt that it was better for them to continue guarding in Jinsha City, and not to worry about other things for the time being.

Just wait for the gunpowder to arrive. However, they didn't send people to Chang'an City for the destruction of the gunpowder.

But looking at Li Ke, king of Shu, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Everyone, the extermination of Tuyuhun is a long-term thing. Now let's appease the people in Jinsha City. Since Jinsha City has been captured by us, it will be included in the territory of my Tang Dynasty."

After Li Ke, the king of Shu, gave such instructions, the crowd did not dare to hesitate, and quickly nodded in response, and then began to appease the people of Jinsha City.
