Chapter 901: Prince Li Xian finally appears
The battle in Chongzhou did not end for several days, but the war with the Turks came to an end in a short period of time.
The three border leopard divisions supporting the Dulu Five Tribes set up camp on the spot after confirming that the front army had been defeated in one fell swoop.
These Leopard Division troops knew very well what kind of legion the Iron Harriers were, so they set up countless ambushes against the cavalry at the entrance of the camp, making the Iron Harriers and the Tuqi afraid to get close.
A support battle turned into a protracted war just like that.
During this period, the generals of the three Leopard Divisions were also busy. They sent scouts to the direction of Shiguo to send messages and request support from Helu Khan.
When Helu heard the news, he almost fainted.
The highest nobles of the five Dulu tribes were collectively slaughtered, and the remaining small fish and shrimps would no longer be able to support the five Dulu tribes, and after his death, the five Nushubi tribes would directly abolish everything he had.
However, during Helu's lifetime, he was unable to help the five Dulu tribes to rise again.
"Prime Minister, what do you think I should do?"
Helu was in a heavy mood and immediately asked Yuzhou for help.
Yu Zhou was secretly delighted and wished that Li Wanshan, Bu Zhen and the others would come here immediately, but he couldn't show it on his face.
Then he coughed and said:
"In my humble opinion, we should immediately recall some of the soldiers on the front lines to support the Stone Kingdom."
"During my time in the Turks, I also learned some secrets that I shouldn't have known, such as the Iron Harriers, one of the Three Tiger Divisions."
"This heavily armored assault corps, composed entirely of cavalry, is the Turkic people's most advantageous weapon in external warfare."
"When they attack, it's like a raging fire. If such a team abandons the Leopard Division and rushes to the Stone Country, what will happen even if there are still two Leopard Divisions outside the Stone Country?"
The two Leopard Divisions together only have 32,000 people.
The news from the front was quite terrifying. In the army led by Li Wanshan, in addition to Bu Zhen's more than 16,000 Iron Harriers, there were also more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry and thousands of Yingzhou Guard cavalry.
The number of the enemy's cavalry is almost catching up with the total number of our own defense forces.
What a slap in the face.
When the time comes, the Iron Harriers and the Tuqi will charge at the Leopard Division, and everyone in the Leopard Division will have to kowtow and beg for mercy, asking them not to kill them.
"You have a point."
Helu turned around with his hands behind his back and finally made up his mind.
"Go to the front lines and request support. Have the Garde Britannia bring back the Grey Wolf Cavalry. Also, mobilize a large number of elite troops. We must return as quickly as possible."
"Furthermore, dispatch the last three eagle divisions of the Nushibi Five Divisions. We must firmly defend the Stone Kingdom and not allow the thieves any opportunity to take advantage!"
The two riders on flying horses quickly left the Stone Kingdom, one heading towards Chongzhou and the other heading towards Nu Shibiwubu.
Outside Chongzhou, the 300,000-strong army was fully assembled, and the military camp was overcrowded. Qige was in good shape and confident that he could capture Chongzhou in one fell swoop.
But reality slapped him in the face again. Two whole days passed, and Chongzhou was still the same as usual, with no change.
"Why, why, why can't it be broken?"
Sieg angrily smashed all the utensils he could see, even overturning his own small table.
"We can't win even if we fight with consumption, damn it!"
"No, we need to find a way to lure them out of the city for a decisive battle!"
"Someone, bring the map!"
……
Tang Dynasty! Yangzhou!
On a small hill outside Jiangdu County, a middle-aged man in linen clothes was walking on a mountain path carrying a hoe.
About tens of meters away from him, a Taoist priest was blocking the road ahead. There was a scabbard hanging around the Taoist priest's waist, and in the scabbard was the famous Iron Immortal Sword.
This Taoist priest was none other than the great commander Long Feng. Following Li Cunxi's orders, he marched eastward to Yangzhou, searching for Li Xian, the Prince Zhanghuai of the Former Tang Dynasty.
Having stayed in Yangzhou for decades, Long Feng knew Yangzhou very well, so he ordered his men to search all over Yangzhou and finally came to Jiangdu County.
Jiangdu County is the famous Yangzhou City. Several years ago, Prince Ying Yuanqi lived in Yangzhou City. Later, Yuanqi designed the Han Canal boat capsize case, and his head was twisted off by Li Cunxi.
The middle-aged man in linen clothes came to Long Feng and saw that Long Feng was standing motionless in the middle of the road. There were unstable small earthen ridges on both sides. If he stepped on them, he might slip into the field. His brows frowned slightly.
"gentlemen."
"You are blocking my way, please move aside for a moment."
"I'm hurrying home to serve my wife."
Long Feng stared at the middle-aged man in linen clothes, motionless.
The middle-aged man in linen clothes opened his mouth, wanting to remind him again, but before he could utter a word, he saw Long Feng had already moved aside.
"Sorry, please."
Long Feng was extremely respectful and made way for the middle-aged man in linen clothes.
The middle-aged man in linen clothes thanked him and walked back carrying his hoe.
His home was less than 300 meters away from here, and he soon returned to his small home in the mountains.
There is a small courtyard in front of the door with three small houses. One of them is the kitchen, and next to the kitchen is the living room.
There is also a toilet downwind of the house.
The middle-aged man in linen clothes came to the gate of the yard, reached out to open the half-open door, then strode in and put the hoe he was carrying beside the door.
After walking a few steps, the middle-aged man in linen clothes suddenly turned around and looked back the way he came.
On the narrow path, Long Feng, dressed as a Taoist priest, was standing calmly on the muddy ground.
Noticing his gaze, Long Feng bowed slightly, as if to salute him.
The middle-aged man in linen clothes suddenly had a bad premonition and rushed into the house in two or three steps.
Inside the house, a beautiful middle-aged woman, whose beauty could not be concealed even in plain clothes, stood up to greet him.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
"Are you so panicked?"
The middle-aged man in linen clothes frowned and looked back from time to time.
From his current angle, he could still clearly see Long Feng standing on the muddy road.
The other party was very respectful to him, as if he already knew his true identity.
He has disappeared for many, many years. He disappeared when he was still young, and most of the people who knew his identity are dead.
How did this person discover his identity?
"Madam, someone is watching us." said the middle-aged man in linen clothes.
The beautiful middle-aged woman looked outside and saw Long Feng as expected.
"That's the Taoist priest from Tiexian Temple, not someone who's spying on us, husband."
"I once went to Tiexian Temple to pray for my husband and met this Taoist priest."
The middle-aged man in linen clothes quickly shook his head.
"No, no, even if he is really the Taoist priest of Tiexian Temple, he definitely has more than just this identity!"
"Otherwise, why would a Taoist priest like him go to the deep mountains and forests with nothing to do?"
"If he wasn't staring at us and just turned around and walked away, then he must be a Taoist priest. But he doesn't look like a good person at all."
Outside the yard, Long Feng pushed open the gate.
"I, Long Feng, a general under the command of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, have come to visit Your Highness!"
