Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

All civil and military ministers and royal nobles in the court are not allowed to leave the palace!

The students and gentlemen of the academy were also closely supervised.

Chang'an, for this reason, the city is closed for ten days!

When Liu Bai came out of the Guannei Road, no matter how quickly he explored the horse, it was impossible for him to reveal the news.

Everything stopped working!

Eight hundred Taiji staff have already set off.

Three thousand elite soldiers were also broken up into pieces, disguised as more than a dozen caravans, and left through different gates.

Liu Bai didn't say anything else.

He bowed his hands at the person who saw him off.

"Farewell!"

He got on his horse and rode away with two hundred soldiers disguised as men.

Chapter 902 The Tang Dynasty can have a prince who died in battle, but must not have a prince who fled

In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, if you leave the Yumen Pass, you will probably enter the purgatory on earth.

In the endless desert, no one can find the way to the oasis.

No amount of people can help if there is no oasis.

Either, alive and thirsty to death, or buried in the ubiquitous quicksand.

And Yumen Pass is still two thousand miles away from Gaochang Kingdom!

Fortunately, Guo Xiaoke's preparations were not done in vain. It is more difficult to set up supply points in such places.

It used to be about two hundred miles away, but now it has become five hundred miles away.

On the way, there is a small oasis.

During the former Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen received the surrender of some countries in the Western Regions.

On an oasis called Kunwu, a small city was built.

This city is called Yizhou.

The people of Chang'an City always say that when all nations come to court, Chang'an must be mixed with dragons and snakes.

But compared with Yizhou, it pales in comparison.

Here, it is truly called a mixed dragon and snake.

As the oasis closest to the center of the Silk Road, there are people from many countries traveling to and from Yizhou.

The nine surnames of Zhaowu, Shanshan, Qiuci, Shache, Cheshi, Gaochang, and even Tianzhu and Tubo, which are farther away, are stationed in Yizhou.

In addition to this, there are more unidentified Sand Pirates.

There are even some people who come from unheard of mysterious countries.

Of course, the population of Yizhou at its peak was not more than [-]. When Li Chengqian led the army, the people in this earth-built city would be even fewer

The first thing the soldiers do after entering the city is to shoot everyone without distinction.

Except for a few Han Chinese, no matter men, women or children, no one is left alive!

In the entire Western Regions, there is no one who is worthy of Li Chengqian's trust.

In the city lord's mansion, which was more dilapidated than the county yamen, the chubby city lord hanged himself and his whole family on the beams of the house.

Li Chengqian was sitting beside him.

His eyes were blank and he let the military medical officer bandage the wound on his arm.

In just ten days, Datang's army lost more than a thousand!

It sounds like there are not many people.

But this is already the most loss of manpower in Datang after defeating Goguryeo.

Xue Li came in from the door, Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand was still covered with a few pieces of flesh and blood.

"Have all the ashes of the brothers been collected?"

Li Chengqian asked.

Xue Li nodded, and sat down next to Li Chengqian.

"One thousand two hundred people died, and less than twenty were disabled."

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and told the medical officer to retreat.

He never expected that when he left Liangzhou, he was still full of confidence.

In the blink of an eye, he fell into the target of public criticism!

Along the way, they encountered endless sneak attacks.

If Xue Li hadn't been so brave, he might have died under the attack of a foreign race.

"How about Tai Kee's casualties?"

Xue Li shook his head.

"Sister Hongying has already gone to count, and I estimate that it will not be less than three hundred."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian gasped.

The loss of the three hundred Taiji elites made him feel more distressed than the loss of more than 1000 soldiers.

At this moment, Jin Ridun rushed in in a hurry.

"Someone is attacking the city again!"

Xue Li looked at Li Chengqian worriedly, and asked, "Do you know which clan it is?"

Jin Rixun smiled wryly, and said, "The people who attacked us deliberately disguised themselves along the way, who can tell the difference?"

Xue Li pursed his lips, and said, "Chengqian, you have a good rest, I'll get rid of the attackers!"

After speaking, he stood up, took Fang Tian's painting halberd, and strode out.

Jin Ridun did not follow.

He stood there for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said, "Chengqian, let's retreat!"

"No!"

Li Chengqian stood up abruptly.

Perhaps because of the wound on his arm, Li Chengqian's face looked distorted.

"The Tang Dynasty can have princes who died in battle, but there must be no princes who escaped!"

After speaking, he shouted at the guards standing at the door: "Get my sword!"

Li Chengqian was handed over by Wang Shouren.

Even against an expert of Xue Li's level, within fifty rounds, he would not be at a disadvantage.

His sword was forged by Jin Dajian himself in a month.

It can be called cutting iron like mud!

The captain of the personal guard, Helan Chushi, and Jin Ridun did not stop him.

This journey, I'm afraid Li Chengqian has been aggrieved.

It's also good to vent.

A few injuries, no big deal.

Defending the city is far safer than in the desert.

The enemy's offensive was not violent.

After leaving behind [-] corpses, they fled in a hurry.

Everyone could see that they had no plans to attack the city at all.

The only purpose is to let the Tang soldiers have no time to rest.

This time, there is time to clean up the battlefield.

The identity of the enemy is ready to be revealed!

"Even a small country like Huhu has the guts to attack the city?!"

After Li Chengqian got the news, his expression became even uglier.

Huhu is a pitifully small country.

Counting their king's family, there are no more than four thousand households in total.

There are no more than a thousand domestic sergeants.

They all dared to harass Datang's army, that's just one point.

The 36 countries in the Western Regions have united to betray Datang!

Li Chengqian, who had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion, had not had time to sit down.

Another guard came to report.

"His Royal Highness, another group of people has come to the city! They seem to be fighting under the banner of Jingjue Kingdom!"

Li Chengqian's face was ashen.

Jingjue is also a small country.

Even, it is several tenths smaller than Huhu.

It seems that they no longer intend to hide.

Tell the Tang army with open fire that the Western Regions intend to unite!

It is conceivable that after these small countries harassed the Tang army to the point of exhaustion, it was time for a big country like Gaochang to show up.

Small countries need not worry.

Their equipment is simply behind the bandits of Datang.

Just relying on the sword is enough to win!

But great powers have siege machines.

I can't help but siege the city wall of this earthen city in Yizhou!

Once the city was broken, it turned into a wide open battlefield fighting.

Even if the generals of the Tang Dynasty count as ten, there will always be a day of exhaustion!

Li Chengqian pressed his hand on his waist several times.

That's a token.

To mobilize the tokens of twenty cannons!

However, he finally held back.

Artillery is the biggest trump card and the biggest hole card for winning.

It has only just begun, and it is far from the point of using artillery.

Looking at the exhausted Xue Li beside him, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "He Lan, you can go."

Helan Chushi left with his hands in his hands, and led 1000 people out of the city to meet the enemy.

Xue Li forced a smile, and said: "Chengqian, we haven't reached the end of the mountain yet. Sister Hongying has already ordered people from Taiji to send back the situation in the Western Regions. The young master will definitely find a way!"

Li Chengqian clenched his fists tightly.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Perhaps, we have another choice!"
