Inside the city gate, several Tukha soldiers were curled up and sleeping. Pei Min floated into the city gate like a shadow. In just a moment, five Tukha soldiers were cut off their throats in their sleep.

Pei Min immediately ordered Wang Anze, "Take three hundred soldiers to guard the city."

"Abide by the order!"

Pei Min waved his hand, "Fourth Team and Fifth Team follow me!"

Two hundred soldiers followed Pei Min along the corridor toward the city. When they were about to reach the city, Pei Min waved his hand and the soldiers stood against the wall.

Pei Min leaned his head and looked towards the city tower. There were three soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city tower. None of the remaining dozens of soldiers saw it. They should have hid in the city tower and slept.

The two sides of the city were very quiet, and the soldiers in the distance also found their own places to sleep, but did not see a single soldier.

At this time, the sound of clamoring the buzzard came from afar, and it was the third time.

Pei Min turned around and compared his subordinates to his actions, killing the three soldiers first, and then everyone came out.

He squatted, floated over like a shadow, squatting behind a wooden pillar.

At this time, a soldier of the Thunder Cavalry Shi walked past him, and Pei Min came out with lightning, waved his hand and cut off the other party's throat, and the other party fell softly to the ground.

The other soldier did not see Pei Min, but saw his companion fall down, he was stunned, and walked over quickly.

Pei Min rushed up, waved his sword and cut off the other party's neck. Before he could land, the long sword in his hand flew out. A dozen steps away, the sword light flashed, and another head also landed on the ground.

Pei Min waved his hand and the soldiers rushed forward. Some soldiers put down the iron gate, some soldiers put down the suspension bridge, and the rest kicked open the gate of the city tower and killed them in...

Hundreds of soldiers were ambushed hundreds of steps outside the city gate, while Li Xiu led the main force to wait two miles away.

The city gate opened, hundreds of soldiers jumped up and rushed towards the city gate. Several soldiers lit torches.

Li Xiu saw the fire and immediately ordered: "Strike!"

Six thousand five hundred cavalrymen started, and the horse's hooves were wrapped in thick hay and silently rushed to Yiwu City.

Yiwu City was finally recaptured with the inside and outside cooperation between Tang army soldiers and militia soldiers.

Two thousand thunder soldiers were raided by the Tang army in their sleep, most of which were killed or injured, and only more than one hundred soldiers became prisoners of war, and survived by luck.

.........

In Tingzhou, eight thousand cavalrymen were rushing towards Jinman County, which is the prefecture of Tingzhou and is also the location of Beiting Jiedu Prefecture.

According to the information provided by Gaochang Intelligence Point to Tuhuoxian, the main force of Beitinghan Haijun Army has arrived in Gaochang, and only two thousand troops should be left in Jinman County, and then there are five thousand troops scattered in the fortress west of Tingzhou and the guard city.

What Tuhuoxian cares about is Jinman County. Once Jinman County is seized and supplies are cut off, the forts and guards in the west will become rootless trees.

That night, Tuhuoxian led a large army to Jinman County. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and silver-white moonlight spread all over the earth. The tall city stood on the shore of Jinman Lake. Tuhuoxian could see it clearly from miles away.

At the same time, the defenders on the city also saw the army of thunder cavalry and Shi several miles away, with murderous intent and flags covering the sky. The soldiers immediately sounded the alarm bell.

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’

The alarm bell rang across the city, and the soldiers in their sleep were awakened one after another, and immediately ran towards the city with their armor.

Tian Renwan also rushed to the end of Dongcheng, "What happened?"

"Empress, there is an enemy situation over there!" The on-duty captain pointed to the distance.

Tian Renwan looked into the distance and saw a black cavalry appearing in the distance, which seemed to be nearly 10,000 people, which made him breathe. The thirty-eighth prince was indeed not wrong, and the army of the cavalry came.

"General! A few spies came over there."

Deputy General Liu Sheng pointed to a team of cavalry running in front and said loudly.

Tian Renwan sneered and ordered: "Except for the First Battalion and the Second Battalion standing, all the soldiers of the other third battalions squat down and must not be exposed!"

The other party must have thought that he had led his army to Gaochang County, so he simply used the trick, deliberately showing weakness, and asked the enemy to attack the entire line and then give a painful blow.

The soldiers squatted down one after another, with only a small number of soldiers left on the top of the city, and some soldiers were deployed on the other three walls.

The spies and cavalry ran around the city and turned around and went back.

Tian Renwan looked at the other party and immediately ordered: "I ordered the entire army to go to the city and all militia soldiers to mobilize!"

There were also 5,000 militia soldiers in Tingzhou, including Han and Wusun Hu people, just to deal with the expansion of Tuqi Shiren.

The Wusun people were loyal supporters of the Tang Dynasty. They mainly made a living by grazing. In order to compete for the Yili Valley, the Wusun people and the Tuqi Shi people often had conflicts.

The Tang army started a war with the Tuqi Shiren at Suiye, and the cause was that the Wusun people and Tuqi Shiren competed for the Yili Valley.

Jinman County entered emergency combat readiness, and all soldiers came to the city, and militia soldiers were mobilized. They were responsible for material transportation and logistics, and two thousand archers also came to the city to participate in the war.

.............

As the sky gradually became brighter, the siege people also simply prepared weapons for siege. They originally wanted to take advantage of the Tang army's negligence to directly enter the city, but now it seems impossible.

They had to siege the city, but they did not carry important siege weapons such as siege ladders, so they could only use the most primitive method to first capture the suspension bridge and then use a giant tree to break open the city gate.

The Tukqi soldiers cut down hundreds of big trees and used the method of binding to simply make rafts. This raft can be directly placed on the moat, causing the moat in Jinman County to be useless in an instant.

‘Woo! Woo!’ The low trumpet sound echoed on the vast earth.

The army of eight thousand thunder cavalry was divided into two parts. The three thousand soldiers in front gave up riding horses and turned into infantry siege, while the five thousand cavalry behind them were used as cover.

The team stopped about one mile from the East City Gate.

The Turghuoxian stared at the top of the city, with only a thousand soldiers standing out on the top of the city. He sneered, did these soldiers want to stop him from siegeing the city?

The fire-spouting immortal sword swung, "Strike!"

"Woo--"

The low trumpet sounded again, and three thousand soldiers ran towards the city gate with rafts and huge siege rams.

They must first capture the suspension bridge. Without the barrier of the suspension bridge, they can use the attacking ram to break open the city gate.

Three thousand soldiers rushed up, and two thousand soldiers shot at the city with their bows and arrows to cover the other soldiers' attacks.

Arrows were shot densely at the top of the city, and a thousand thunderbolt soldiers mounted six huge rafts on the moats on both sides of the suspension bridge. Dozens of soldiers climbed up the suspension bridge and destroyed the hooks on the suspension bridge.

At this moment, a drum sounded on the top of the city, and suddenly countless soldiers appeared, with thousands of arrows firing at once, like a storm. The sudden cavalry under the city were caught off guard and screamed, and countless people were shot by arrows. The soldiers climbing on the suspension bridge were all shot into arrows and fell into the water.

The soldiers who originally acted as cover were even shot into pieces and their arrow formation was destroyed.

The Tuhuoxian, who was watching the battle in the distance, was shocked. There were not two thousand people there, but there were obviously nearly ten thousand people. He immediately realized that he had been fooled and the Hanhai Army did not go south to Gaochang at all.

"Retreat!" The fire fairy in the swearing voiced loudly.

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’ The bell of withdrawing troops rang.

It was already a little late at this time. Three rounds of arrows shot down, and the overwhelming arrows were not airtight. Three thousand Tocharis soldiers suffered heavy casualties. They were constantly shot down by arrows while running away. Three thousand people finally escaped back less than a thousand.

The Turghuoxian had to retreat ten miles to rest in a valley for a while, and ordered people to go around to find cattle and sheep food.

At this time, Tsukuhuoxian was upset, and the information sent by Gaochang actually made a major mistake. I don’t know if it was the intelligence personnel who made a mistake in their judgment or had been taken over by Tang Jun.

The Tuhuoxian knew in his heart that the possibility of making a mistake in judgment was relatively small. If he was killed by the other party, he would send false information.

Tuhuoxian began to worry about Yiwu County.

At dusk, soldiers who went out to find food came back one after another. They did not find a cattle and sheep, but only hunted dozens of deer.

It is still secondary to the fact that half of the soldiers who were looking for food did not come back, nearly 500 people were missing, and there must be troops around them peeking at them.

All the soldiers were panicked, and the daylight losses were heavy, the food was insufficient, and the morale was very sluggish.

Several thousand men found the Tuhuoxian, "Chief, please withdraw back to Yiwu County first!"

The fairy Tuhuo knew in her heart that the other party was elusive and the terrain was more familiar to them. If this continues, they will have to be destroyed.
Chapter completed!
