At the same time, at another border, soldiers were patrolling with long guns. From a distance, I saw a large group of people approaching. The dust was mixed with shouts of harmony. Just by hearing the sound, I could tell that this group of people was Turkic. The short whip flew up and down, the horses neighed, and they were coming menacingly. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty immediately sounded the alarm, and the people in the city immediately evacuated in an orderly manner, thinking that this was the norm before they reacted like this. There were about ten people hiding in an inn, and they were all talking about "Why are these bastard Turks here again?" "It turns out it only comes during the autumn harvest season." "Don't you know that a Turkic businessman died in the city a few days ago? These Turkic people must have come here for this reason." "Just for a businessman? People die every year in this place. What a fuss." "The Turks are powerful. Although our Tang Dynasty has Wise Monarch at the top and generals like General Li and Lord Fang who are capable in governing the world, we still have to be wary of the Turks!" "As soon as the Turks come, Lao'zi must go up and kill one of them. Killing one of them is enough to show them that the Tang Dynasty is not easy to bully!" "Old Zhang, don't look at how old you are. Can you still wear armor? I'm afraid you can't even hold a knife. We are all old.' "Hey, you old king, we have a lot of strength, but the Holy One is considerate of my old age and let us retire in advance, otherwise I will have to kill dozens of Turks!"

On the city wall, the soldiers were standing ready with solemn expressions. The wind and snow in this bitter cold land had not dampened their determination to protect their homes and country. Several corps commanders gathered together and looked at the Turks riding horses under the city in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel worried. There are currently 10,000 garrison troops in the city, scattered among the three gates of the city. It turns out that there is a natural barrier behind the city to rely on, so the city only needs three gates. There can be no more than 3,000 garrison guards at the three city gates, and the rest must be used to warn of possible unrest in the city. At present, there are a thousand Turks coming, all of them are skilled in bow and horse. Although the Tang army has a strong city to defend, these Turks can come and go freely relying on the equestrian skills they have practiced since childhood. Firstly, we can undermine our morale through constant attacks. Secondly, the most important thing is food and grass! The Turks can cut off the food and grass from time to time, which puts huge pressure on the Tang Dynasty defenders! And now there are a thousand Turks and horses. I'm afraid it's just the Turkic forwards who came to test, so this has to be worrying. "Jiliguala" a Turkic man came up and drank! Another tall and thin man with a white face and no beard came forward and said: "I am Bagatul of Turks. A few days ago, we had a noble Turkic businessman who died in your city for no reason. In the spirit of friendship between the two countries, we request General Xue will ask us to go into the city immediately to investigate." On the gatehouse of the city, I saw an eight-foot-tall man with firm eyes and a beard who replied: "Since you have come with the attitude of good relations between the two countries, you are all carrying weapons. If you take off your weapons, I will You are allowed to enter the city." The white-faced man without beard squawked for a while at the leader of the Turks. The Turkic leader suddenly kicked the white-faced man and spoke viciously. The white-faced man felt dizzy at first after being kicked like this. The Turks didn't even hear what they were saying, so they could only laugh and talk along with them. The Turkic man's face became more muscle twitching and his face was ferocious. He picked up the long whip in his hand and kept beating it, and also cursed from time to time. It took a while before he saw the white-faced man with a bruised nose and swollen face, and various vertical whip marks on his body, and said to the general on the gate. . .
