Chapter 272 City Fall
Kucha City was the capital of the Kingdom of Kucha. After it was occupied by the Tang army, it became the place where the Tang army stored grain and grass. It was guarded by Tang army general Guo Xiaoke with five thousand troops.
At dusk, a bloody setting sun shines on Kucha City. The red sunset glow in the western sky seems to be burning, and the sun is as red as blood.
The gate of Kucha City was wide open, and at the door, several veterans of the Tang Dynasty were chatting boredly.
A soldier on the left said: "His Royal Highness the Prince attacked Diazhuan City. How refreshing it was. We were stationed in Kucha City and it was really boring."
The soldier on the right chuckled and said, "Stop complaining. We are stationed in Kucha City. We have enough to eat and drink every day, and we don't have to be exposed to the sun or rain. Wouldn't it be nice?"
The soldier on the left shook his head and said, "I came to be a soldier to make great achievements and find a wife. How could I just come here to hang out?"
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance. Qiuci is such a big place and has dozens of cities. Sooner or later, there will be a day when we can show our talents." The soldier on the right said.
The two soldiers were chatting. At this moment, the soldier on the left said: "Look, what is over there?"
Another soldier took a look and saw a group of Kucha people coming from a distance, hundreds of them. These Kucha people were holding all kinds of weird utensils and wearing colorful clothes.
"It seems like it's a juggling team." The soldier on the right's eyes lit up.
"Haha, it looks like there will be a sideshow tonight." The two soldiers became a little excited.
¡°Come and look, a juggling troupe is coming!¡±
A dozen soldiers at the city gate immediately gathered around to watch the excitement.
At this time, a circus team of a hundred people had arrived at the city gate, and a dozen soldiers watched the excitement happily.
A soldier touched the long tube carried on the back of a juggler.
The soldier's expression changed, and his hand touched a sharp single knife inside the long tube.
"No!" the soldier yelled.
The next moment, hundreds of people from the "Juggler's Team" had drawn out their hidden swords and killed the Tang Army soldiers guarding the door.
The soldiers of the Tang Army were caught off guard. A dozen of them were killed on the ground in a matter of seconds, and the "jugglery team" took control of the city gate.
An incoming man took out a firecracker, lit it and threw it into the sky.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, a cloud of white smoke appeared in the sky above Kucha City.
The next moment, the ground trembled. In the distance, countless soldiers speaking Turkic language held scimitars and rode horses towards Kucha City. They got closer and closer to Kucha City, and finally entered Kucha City
When the Turkic soldiers rushed into the city, Guo Xiaoke, the guard of Kucha City, had already received the news. He immediately went into battle and rushed towards the city gate with more than a hundred people.
"kill!"
Countless soldiers wearing Turkic costumes rushed over from all directions and surrounded Guo Xiaoke.
The Turks¡¯ arrows kept coming, and the soldiers beside Guo Xiaoke fell one after another. Guo Xiaoke had been hit by dozens of arrows, like a hedgehog.
"Kill!"
Guo Xiaoke swung his sword forward and immediately cut a Turkic soldier in half, blood spurting out all over him.
A Turk armed with a spear attacked Guo Xiaoke from behind.
Guo Xiaoke lowered his head when he heard the wind blowing behind his head.
Snapped!
The helmet on his head was poked off with a shot, and Guo Xiaoke's long hair was disheveled.
At this time, all the soldiers beside Guo Xiaoke were killed, and hundreds of Turks were surrounded.
Guo Xiaoke was completely unafraid and shouted: "Kill!" and once again rushed towards the Turks in front.
"Plop!"
Wherever Guo Xiaoke's sword was directed, blood spurted out, killing dozens of people.
The Turks kept shouting and surrounded him from all directions, stabbing Guo Xiaoke with six or seven spears at the same time.
Guo Xiaoke swung his sword and beheaded several people in a row.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Four or five spears pierced Guo Xiaoke's body at the same time. Guo Xiaoke spurted out a mouthful of blood and used his last strength to swing the sword.
"flutter!"
A Turkic soldier in front of him was immediately beheaded.
"Plop!"
More than a dozen spears stabbed Guo Xiaoke's body. Guo Xiaoke still swung the big knife in his hand, but the knife no longer had the slightest strength. At this time, Guo Xiaoke's body was covered in blood, and he was like a hell.The devil of ?.
Bang!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.
When the Turks around him saw this, they were so frightened that they did not dare to step forward for a moment.
The crowd parted, and a Turkic general walked out, knelt on the ground, and said, "The general is such a brave man!"
"Boom!"
Guo Xiaoke¡¯s body fell down suddenly, stirring up dust on the ground.
With the death of Guo Xiaoke, the resistance of the Tang army in Kucha City has ceased. Except for a few of the 5,000 Tang troops who escaped, all the others were killed.
When Li Zhen heard the news that Kucha City had fallen and Guo Xiaoke was killed in battle, his eyes widened.
Kucha City was where the Tang army stored grain and grass, and was also the only way for the Tang army to return.
The fall of Kucha City also meant that the retreat route of his 100,000 Tang troops had been cut off.
In this way, with a strong city in front and no retreat behind, the Tang army was already in a desperate situation.
No one thought that the Turks actually sent out troops and came out so quickly.
What was even more unexpected was that the Turks did not follow common sense and sent troops to help the city. Instead, they used surprise troops to sneak attack Qiuci City and cut off the Tang army's retreat.
Everyone fell into silence. Under this situation, the situation of the Tang army was extremely dangerous. After a while, Shangguan Yi said: "Your Highness, our only way now is to give up the attack on Dianduan City and return to capture Kucha City. Open up communication with the rear, so that you can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat, so that you can be in an invincible position."
"Report! The Turks have raised an army of 200,000 to attack our army. Their forward is less than thirty miles away from our army!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. The Turks unexpectedly raised an army of 200,000 to kill them. As a result, the Tang army was really in extreme danger.
There was silence all around, you could hear the drop of a needle, and no one spoke. Li Zhen knew that as the commander-in-chief of the army, every decision he made at this time would determine the life or death of one hundred thousand Tang troops.
Li Zhen glanced at the generals beside him and said: "The matter is already very critical. Our army can only have a chance of survival if we fight to the death."
Ashina Sheer said: "Your Highness, let me go. I am willing to lead a surprise attack on Kucha City and open a retreat channel."
Li Zhen glanced at Ashina She'er and said to herself that Ashina She'er was once a khan of the Western Turks and is now a general of the Tang Dynasty. He is a good general in the world. If he can't defeat Kucha City, then others can't. no.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen said to Ashina Sheer: "Old general, I will give you 30,000 elite soldiers. You must travel under the stars and at night. You must conquer Kucha City within five days!"
"I have the order!" Ashina Sheer walked away with his head held high.
Li Zhen glanced at the generals beside him and said: "Tomorrow we will form an array to fight the Turks to the death, defeat the Turks, and show off the majesty of the Tang Dynasty!"
