Du Qi's lips curled into a smile as he shouted, "Yun Chong, let's cut to the chase. I'll give you half a day's time to report back. It won't be too late for me to attack the city then. "
After that, Du Qi looked at Gao Manzheng.
Gao Manzheng immediately ordered the army to retreat a hundred steps and set up camp.
Gao Manzheng also dismounted from his horse and sat down. He looked at Du Qi with a bright smile on his face and said, "Young Master Du, you're still the best. You're also the one who arranged the sentries to report back, right? This time, Yang Zhengdao's men must have lost their morale. It won't be that easy for us to win. "
Du Qi laughed involuntarily and said, "What do you think? The sentries just now were fake news."
Gao Manzheng said, "Wasn't it arranged by Young Master?"
Du Qi said, "Of course not."
Gao Manzheng was shocked. His face was full of disbelief as he said, "Steward Li, this Steward Li actually won. And it's only been three days and he already won. Amazing, really amazing! "
Du Qi said with a smile, "That's why people say that Steward Li is the Tang dynasty's God of War and can be said to be the number one commander in the Tang dynasty. Now that Steward Li has won the first battle, the next step is to follow up the victory and pursue the enemy. The Turks' defeat is already unstoppable. "
Gao Manzheng said, "It's best that the Turks are defeated.
Du Qi smiled and said, "Now, we just need to wait for time to ferment. According to my judgment, Yang Zhengdao and Yun Chong will probably get the news in less than half a day. So, it'll be easy for us to break into Dingxiang City. What we need to do now is to cut off the enemy's retreat and capture everyone. "
Gao Manzheng immediately understood. He gave a thumbs up and said, "It's so comfortable to fight alongside Young Master. I'll immediately make the arrangements to ensure a complete victory in this battle. "
"Go make the arrangements."
Du Qi said with a smile.
Gao Manzheng turned and left, while Du Qi looked up at the top of the city wall. At this time, the soldiers on the city gate tower were discussing animatedly. Even Yang Zhengdao's face had an uneasy expression.
All these years, Yang Zhengdao had been living here.
His days were rather comfortable.
Even if he was living under someone else's roof, at least he wouldn't be in a precarious situation. At least he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing.
In name, he was still the emperor.
Now that the army of the Tang dynasty was coming, everything he had was about to be taken away. Moreover, he was not a man who had experienced many storms, so he could not help but panic. He looked at Yun Chong and asked, "Master Yun, what should we do?"
Yun Chong said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, no matter what the situation is, we have no other choice. Right now, all he could do was endure. Endure for a while. What if the news outside the city was really a rumor spread by Du Qi? If we do that now, we'll lose our footing. In that case, there was no need to fight this battle. And even if the Turks are defeated, we won't be able to change anything. The most important thing now is not to panic. "
Yang Zhengdao's expression was still filled with fear.
He was still worried.
He lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Master Yun, if this is really the worst case scenario, we'll wait for a while. At that time, it will be extremely difficult for us to break out of the encirclement. At least if we break out now, we still have a chance to leave. "
Yun Chong said, "Your Majesty, what if the news is false?"
"Sigh …"
Yang Zhengdao sighed.
He was just a child and didn't know what to do.
Under the current situation, Yang Zhengdao was really panicking and didn't know what to do. He could only put his hands on the city wall and look outside the city, his eyes slightly lost.
Although there were discussions around, Yang Zhengdao didn't hear them. Because Yang Zhengdao was in a daze and his emotions were in a mess, he couldn't hear anything else.
Yun Chong said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please go back to your room first."
There was a room on the city gate tower.
Yang Zhengdao had been outside all this time and his mind was not in the right place, which could easily affect the morale of the army. It was better to go back to his room.
Yun Chong ordered the general stationed there to guard the city carefully and turned to go inside.
When Yun Chong entered the room, he looked at the absent-minded Yang Zhengdao and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, we have no choice but to defend to the death. Because Dingxiang City's foundation was obtained with great difficulty. If we lose it all, we will no longer have the foundation to establish a foothold in the city. "
Yang Zhengdao said, "I understand, Master Yun."
Yun Chong didn't say anything else.
They waited in silence. While Yun Chong was waiting, the soldiers on the city gate tower were still discussing. Many of them were panicking and didn't have the fighting spirit to defend to the death. They were worried that the city would be breached and that they would die in this battle.
The people of Dingxiang City were restless.
They didn't have the strength to fight anymore.
Time passed little by little. In less than two hours, a scout shouted and entered from the west side of the city. He then went to the east side of the city gate tower and came to Yang Zhengdao's room.
This situation attracted the attention of countless people.
Because of Du Qi's shouting outside, many people were doubtful and didn't know whether it was true or not. Now that the scout had finally returned, everyone was waiting anxiously.
However, many people were able to tell that something was fishy.
The reason for that was because the face of the sentry was filled with anxiety and fear.
It was clear that something big had happened.
Therefore, when they thought of Du Qi's words, many of the soldiers on the city gate tower guessed that Xieli Khan had really been defeated.
After the scout entered, as soon as he saw Yang Zhengdao, he reported the news that Tujue Jie had been defeated and Xieli had already fled.
Yang Zhengdao was dumbfounded after hearing this.
They had really been defeated!
Yang Zhengdao's mind was blank. After a long while, Yang Zhengdao recovered. His face was full of hesitation as he said, "Master Yun, what should we do now?"
Yun Chong's expression was also solemn. He clenched his teeth and his expression was full of sorrow and helplessness.
He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, even Xieli Khan of the Turks has been defeated. Even if we want to break out, we won't be able to. I have your trust, Your Majesty. I have been working day and night, but in the end, I can't break through. "
"At this point, I have no other choice. The only decision I have is to fight to the death to repay the Great Sui and to show my loyalty. "
Yun Chong said, "Your Majesty, this is my suggestion."
Yang Zhengdao shook his head and said, "No, no, Master Yun, we can't die. Didn't you say that as long as we are alive, we will have a chance? We can't die like this now. "
Yun Chong raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Because Yang Zhengdao's intention was to surrender.
Yang Zhengdao looked at Yun Chong's surprised expression and said, "Master Yun, to be honest, these years in Dingxiang City, I have enjoyed some good days. After all, I am the Emperor, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"Every night, I would dream that I was killed."
"Although we have a foothold now, we are in a precarious situation. I have had enough of these days. It would be fine if the Tang army didn't come. But in the current situation, we have no chance. "
"Even the Turks have been defeated, let alone us."
Yang Zhengdao said, "My suggestion is simple. Surrender. Choose to surrender and stop struggling. This way, all the soldiers won't have to die and everything will be settled. "
Yun Chong said, "Your Majesty, have you thought it through?"
Yang Zhengdao smiled bitterly and said, "What's there to think about? This is the only thing we can do in the current situation. So, we have to surrender in the current situation. Regardless of life or death, we have saved the lives of most people. "
Yun Chong said, "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, then announce it publicly."
