The so-called Jiangmen Huzi, the courage of the Xue brothers can be seen.
Xue Wanjun was sure in his heart that in his opinion, even if there was no Li Yi's divine guard, he could capture Jiaohe City on the same day with the left and right guards.
But history doesn't know when it turned.
And the shift is getting bigger and bigger.
Because of the rapid expansion of Datang's strength in the past two years, the conquest of Gaochang was two years ahead of schedule.
After receiving a call for help from Gaochang King Lu Wentai, he ordered the army to be hoarded on the border and split into two routes, all the way directly south to rescue Gaochang, and quickly outflanked the Tang army through Yanqi.
The small country of Yanqi can't even defeat Gaochang, how dare you rebel against the Turkic army King Yanqi immediately surrendered to the Turks, making way for the Turkic army.
With the support of the Western Turks, the king of Gaochang, Lu Wentai, ordered to shrink his forces and hoard them in Jiaohe City to wait for reinforcements.
Li Yi got Li Mu's message, although he knew Li Mu's good intentions, the situation in front of him was clear at a glance.
Li Yi even thought that Li Mu was overly worried, or he didn't understand the battlefield situation.
The next day the battle began.
The Tang army, which attacked Sanmen, encountered stubborn resistance from Gaochang.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
The battle lasted until late afternoon, when the soldiers of the Divine Guard had to approach the west gate after a bloody battle, and blew up the city gate with gunpowder.
In this case, the defenders would have basically collapsed.
But the strange thing is that Gao Changjun seemed to be possessed by a god, and resisted even more fiercely.
The army of the Divine Guards stormed the gates and encountered even more stubborn resistance than during the siege.
The cavalry that stormed the gates were stopped by the traps in the streets of the city, and then the cold arrows fro.
Almost every time you occupy a house takes a long time, and every street you occupy costs you blood and lives.
At this time, Xue Wanjun's left and right guards still did not break through the city gate.
This made Li Yi, who was also full of confidence, calm down first.
He remembered Li Mu's message.
Thinking of this, Li Yi muttered in his heart.
Could it be that the Turks really went south to support Gaochang It was probably the Turks who fought against him Li Yi wanted to retreat and hurriedly joined Xue Wanjun's troops.
But most of the Divine Guards have already entered the city and are fighting fiercely, and it is not easy to retreat The stalemate in the current battle situation may really be to drag the Tang army in Jiaohe City.
Thinking of this, Li Yi broke out in a cold sweat.
It's as if God deliberately proved it to Li Yi.
At this time, a wolf-tooth guard dressed in the uniform of the Shenji Guard reported to Li Yi that a Turkic army had appeared behind the Tang army, with no less than 5,000 vanguards, less than 50 miles away from Jiaohe City.
Li Yi was shocked, and a Turkic army appeared behind him "How They Got South" "According to investigation, it is through the Yanqi country to the south."
Li Mu knew that he couldn't drag it out any longer, if the Turks really joined the war, the north and south would attack, plus the Gaochang army in Jiaohe City, the Tang army would probably collapse in Jiaohe City.
He gritted his teeth and ordered the whole army to retreat, and passed the news to Xue Wanjun's troops, suggesting that Xue Wanjun break through the siege in reverse, rendezvous with Shenjiwei in Turkic territory, and then find a way to withdraw the army.
Li Yi's reaction was quick, and his tactical thinking was not wrong.
The Turkic army that could outflank the Tang army must have been elite, and most likely cavalry.
If the Tang army breaks through to the south, it will inevitably collide head-on with this army.
Even if even the strongest troops learn that the rear road has been raided and surrounded by the enemy, their morale will drop rapidly.
The consequence of this is a rout.
Breaking through to the north is different, even if there are enemy troops in the north, the combat power should be relatively much weaker.
Moreover, without the knowledge of the officers and men of the Tang Army, it can be said that they bypassed Jiaohe City, occupied the entire territory of Gaochang, and then settled Jiaohe City.
Although the secrecy will not last long, the breakthrough has been successful at that time, and the impact on morale will be reduced.
As long as it rendezvous with Xue Wanjun's troops, even in the territory of the Turks, it is not easy for the Turks to eat tens of thousands of Tang troops.
Shenjiwei was ordered to forcibly disengage from the Gaochang army in the city, which left many soldiers in the city.
Leaving behind a thousand-strong army, Li Yiqiang held back tears and led the army to break through to the north.
Xue Wanjun is also a battle-hardened veteran.
After learning that the back road was copied, he immediately ordered the Tang army at the south gate to move closer to the east gate, and sent a department to respond.
Fortunately, the south and east gates were not breached, and the Tang army did not enter the city.

After a fierce battle outside the east gate, the left and right guards left nearly 10,000 battle losses and broke through to the north.
Despite the heavy losses, the main forces remained.
Two days later, Li Yi and Xue Wanjun met in the north, near the Shihan Mountains on the Turkic border.
And relying on the mountain to camp and set up formations, stick to wait for help.
In this battle, the right guard of the divine machine lost nearly 3,000 people, and if you add the 1,000 people who don't know the result, the battle loss is nearly 4,000 people.
The total battle losses of the left and right guards were as high as more than 9,000 people.
And suffering such a big loss, Li Yi and Xue Wanjun didn't even know how many Turks had gone south.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Because the biggest difficulty they are facing now is the morale of the military.
The Turkic army followed and set up camp twenty miles away from the Tang army.
There was no immediate attack, they were waiting for more troops to arrive.
The Tang army was no longer able to break through, because the back road was cut off, the supplies were insufficient, and it was in the Turkic territory, and blindly breaking through the siege was undoubtedly asking for a dead end.
Xue Wanjun believed that as long as the imperial court heard the news, it would definitely send a large army to reinforcements.
Li Yi also believes that since the wolf tooth guard knows about the enemy, he will definitely report it to the eldest brother.
At this time, the two divisions of the Tang Army met, and there were still more than 47,000 people.
Although the food carried is not much, it can last for more than ten days if it is saved.
The most important water source, there is a small lake on the side of the sweat mountain, which can also be solved.
Therefore, after discussing with the generals, Xue Wanjun and Li Yi decided to stick to it and wait for help.
This is the only way to survive in front of us. 。
When Li Mu got the news, he was confused.
The Divine Guards hung alone, and the grain route was cut off by the Turks.
This is too difficult for Li Mu, who is thousands of miles away, beyond the reach of the whip.
But if Li Mu is to ignore it, Li Mu can't do it.
He then ordered the entire army of the Divine Guards to assemble.
But was stopped by Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng's words are very realistic, "His Royal Highness is concerned about the safety of his brother, although it is reasonable.
But His Royal Highness is the heir of the domain, and he transferred troops to leave the domain without authorization, which is a great crime of rebellion. ” Li Mu roared: "Regardless of whether he plots or not, Li Yi is trapped in Hudi, life and death are at stake, I must save him, and the Divine Guard must go north." ” Wei Zheng sighed and said: "If you care, your highness is in a hurry, isn't Your Majesty in a hurry Even if Your Majesty is not in a hurry, most of the right guards of the gods are the sons and nephews of the eunuchs, can they not be in a hurry?"
Li Mu calmed down when he heard this, and Wei Zheng was reasonable.
"At this time, whoever dares to oppose the dispatch of troops to rescue will become the target of public criticism.
Your Highness can rest assured that the imperial court will send troops. ”:
