While Changsun Jiaqing was fiercely fighting the Liangzhou Wall, the main force of the Hexi Dao Army led by Li Chengqian was also attacking from inside and outside with the Liangzhou defenders. This made the Western Turkic Army, which was originally exhausted from attacking the city, a bit messy and was trying its best to stabilize the existing situation.

line of defense.

Li Chengqian and the generals of the Chinese army were receiving real-time feedback from the battlefield in the temporary commander's tent. Originally, according to his temper, he had to go to the front to have a look, but the generals of the Sixth Army shook their heads desperately, for fear that he would be anxious and personally

Go up there swinging the knife.

In particular, the two chief historians of Hexi Province - Xu Jingzong, the concubine of the East Palace Zuo, and Dou Kuan, the minister of the Ministry of Integrity - were very talkative and long-winded. With their ability to talk dead people alive, Li Chengqian had no choice but to sit here.

Otherwise they both would have to hang themselves.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh. As the emperor and he grew older, the ministers guarded Li Chengqian like an old hen guarding its chicks, for fear that he would "knock or touch" and end up with a total loss.

More than ten years of hard work have been wasted.

"Report, Zuo Zongwei led Li Hui's troops to defeat the enemy at the North Gate and is assisting in the defense of the North Gate!"

"Report, You Zongwei led Li Chongzhen's troops to defeat the enemy at Xizhimen and are making a detour to the north!"

"Reported that Xi Junmai, led by Zuo Yuhou, was engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy's flanking troops. Xi Junmai, led by Right Yuhou, came to attack from the flank to cover Xi's battle."

"Report, the right guard rate, right commander rate and the enemy's forward assault force engage in battle, Fang rate requests to completely wipe out this enemy force!"...

After listening to the scouts' reports and looking at the simple sand table in the tent, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction. Both the Sixth Army and Liangzhou's defenders were doing well, and things were progressing as planned.

"Tell Fang Yizhi and Wu Deng to be patient and peel off the skin, layer by layer, one person at a time, and then let them go. The fighting ability of the mourning soldiers in desperate situations is very terrifying. If the dog is anxious, he will jump over the wall!"

, after speaking, he waved his hand to indicate to the scouts that they could retreat.

"Prince, the Duke of Guo is already furious. In order to ensure the safety of Liangzhou's supplies, he was beaten so hard by the Turks in the city. His anger can no longer be suppressed." After handing Li Chengqian a cup of tea, he said

Dou Kuan said slowly.

Haha..., "Your Highness, don't worry about him. That guy in Wu An just doesn't want to be overtaken by his juniors. This time, let him know how talented he is in this generation!" Xu Jingzong and Zhang Shigui are both from the Prince of Qin's Palace.

My old minister, of course I don’t have any estimates when I speak.

Speaking of Zhang Shigui, Li Chengqian found it funny. Duanduan was a famous general, but he offended the literati, and was vilified as a treacherous villain. A good general who led the left army was directly excluded because he offended the four fat men - Li Tai.

When I became the governor of Liangzhou, my luck was not as good as usual.

If he had not had too few soldiers and no cavalry this time, he would not have been beaten so badly in Liangzhou City based on his ability. You must know that in the early years of Wude, Zhang Shigui served as a horse under the emperor.

The commander-in-chief of the army defeated Wang Shichong's 50,000-horse infantry force with an absolutely inferior force, creating a battle example in which the Tang army's cavalry defeated more with fewer cavalry.

It can be said unceremoniously that when it comes to cavalry combat, Zhang Shigui is definitely the leader among the founding generals. He has always been known for his bravery in the army. Now, not only was he pinned to the ground and beaten by the Turks, but he was also helplessly watching his juniors show off their power under the city.

How can you not get angry? The older generation is like this. If you can’t save face, it doesn’t matter whether you want to live or not.

"Didn't the first wave of intelligence report say that an enemy army fled westward before our army encircled it? Give Luo Tong's Zuo Siyu the leader to Guo Guogong, let him hand over the city defense to the deputy general, and lead the army to pursue it.

!" As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the ordering soldiers rushed out to convey the military order.

Luo Tong has been following Luo Tong for too many years, and his military exploits are shining brightly. His ability to command cavalry battles comes from his family. Chasing an enemy army that is not harmful to the overall situation is not just a matter of holding hands; now the prince suddenly puts such a thing on his head.

One of them obviously wanted to give Zhang Shigui some of his military exploits.

"Oh, after all, he is a veteran of the Prince of Qin's Palace. His reputation is not ordinary. No matter what time, His Highness always takes care of him, which is really enviable. Different qualifications are different, unlike ministers and others who have entered the court since Zhenguan.

, we have to rely on it for several more decades!”

Dou Kuan heard this from the generals of the Central Army of Hexi Province assigned to the Ministry of War. None of them were affiliated with the East Palace. They were all members of the Ministry of War. They had no grudges with the prince. The purpose of saying this was to tell them that as long as they served loyally,

Lord, fighting under the prince's command, Zhang Shigui's today is their tomorrow.

The Tang Dynasty was kind to its heroes, but if you want to keep climbing up, you have to look at whether the superiors give you opportunities. In addition to ability, the superiors also need to look at favors. This is the so-called favor. The prince and the

Like the emperor, they are nostalgic. How you perform in the war depends on whether you can seize the opportunity.

In Liangzhou City, Luo Tong, who was wearing a helmet and armor, made a military salute, and then said in a deep voice: "Director Zhang, the last general, on the order of the prince, led his 10,000 cavalry under the general's command to pursue the enemies fleeing to the west."

Hahaha..., "General Luo, hurry up and excuse yourself. The military situation is urgent. Let's stop being polite and just set off!" After smiling and patting Luo Tong on the shoulder, the two of them went hand in hand.

Fu rode away on horseback.

To be honest, Zhang Shigui was originally angry and couldn't let it out, so he sent someone to the prince to try, not expecting to really lead the troops out for a ride; but he didn't expect that the prince not only agreed to the request, but also allocated 10,000 yuan.

The elite cavalry was given to him. If it weren't for his status, he would have jumped.

Zhang Shigui is less than fifty this year. Among the senior generals of the Tang Army, he is not that old, and he is strong. Riding is his specialty, so for him, this feat is no different from that of others in the world.

, the prince really takes care of old ministers like them!

"Captain Zhang, if you follow the general's wishes and you still raid the formation, just leave those rabbits in front to the general! This sword has no eyes, and it will be bad if it twists the old arms and legs!", while galloping.

, Luo Tong said loudly.

As for Luo Tong, he is not looking down on people, but he really thinks about Zhang Shigui. Even though the cavalry is riding on the horse, it is a test of physical strength and flexibility. Lao Zhang is not young at all, and he is incomparable with young people.

, coupled with years of pampering, my riding skills have declined a little bit.

People like to think about the past when they get old, so they spend the rest of their lives focusing on these. Zhang Shigui won many battles in his life, and his titles and military positions were almost the same.

It would be a shame to regret this small mistake for the rest of your life.

"Boy, don't talk nonsense with me. I'm going to teach you a lesson today and let you know that it's better to be young than old! Order the whole army to speed up and engage the enemy with all their strength! Crush them!" After saying this, he used his horse to hit them hard!
