The sky gradually darkened, and night fell.
It was now the night of August. Although there was a full moon in the sky, the night was still hazy. In the evening, the Turkic camp had already started to cook. Everyone was busy.
After dinner, the Turkic soldiers in the army did not return to their tents to rest. Instead, they took out their weapons and slowly wiped them, preparing for the battle. Before eating, everyone received the order to kill Tian Chen at night.
To the Turkic people, they were extremely excited. On one hand, their men had died, but Tian Chen still did not give them an answer. Countless Turkic people were very dissatisfied with Tian Chen. On the other hand, they had been holed up in the army for a few days. This time, after killing Tian Chen, they could rob wantonly.
The sky gradually turned completely dark. The entire Dihua City had already sunk into silence. At this moment, Tongyehu had already come out of the tent. He mobilized the troops under him and ordered, "Sons, tonight is the time for us to start a massacre. Send out troops and charge straight to the palace. "
"Kill!"
The soldiers shouted in unison.
Tongyehu took the lead and rushed out of the camp on his horse. The soldiers under his command followed closely behind. They followed behind him in a grandiose manner and quickly killed their way out of the camp.
There were a total of thirty thousand elites.
These thirty thousand elites were all cavalry. They were fast and had strong combat strength. The hooves of the warhorses flew and stomped on the ground, causing the ground to shake. When the people living nearby heard the sound of the Turkic people's hooves, they were all trembling in fear, afraid that they would be slaughtered by the Turkic people.
The camp where Tongyehu was located was some distance away from the palace. However, they were all cavalry. It did not take long for the group to approach the palace.
When the army appeared, the soldiers stationed at the gate of the palace were shocked when they saw the large number of Turkic soldiers. They ordered to prepare to defend and at the same time, they ordered the soldiers to resist.
The problem was that most of the soldiers under Tian Chen were already stationed on the city gate tower. There were not many soldiers in the palace at the moment. There was no possibility of resisting.
"Kill!"
Tongyehu gave the order.
The Turkic soldiers under his command charged forward. Even if there was a city in Yunwu City, it was not sturdy. After all, Yunwu City was not big. It was just a magnificent mansion, which could not be compared with the imperial city like Chang 'an.
The gate was not sturdy enough, and after the Turkic soldiers smashed it with their hammers, the gate collapsed. The Turkic cavalry also charged into the royal city.
The soldiers in the city had already rushed back to report. The soldier rushed into Tian Chen's bedroom recklessly and shouted, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Turks are here, a large number of Turks have already charged into the royal city. Monarch, quickly flee! "
When Tian Chen heard this, he could not help but shiver and immediately turned over. He was a light sleeper to begin with, and now that he had woken up, his face was filled with terror.
How could this be?
How could Tong Yehu kill his way in?
During the day, when he went to Tong Yehu's camp to negotiate, there was no conflict. Back then, Tong Yehu had the chance to kill him, but he didn't do so. Why did he only charge in now?
Tian Chen's mind raced as he thought of a plan to deal with it. The Turks had already charged in, and Tong Yehu was determined to kill him. Under this premise, even if he wanted to escape, it was impossible because Tong Yehu was prepared in advance.
"I can't escape!"
"The more I escape, the worse it will be. Tong Yehu is protecting the Turkic cavalry. I can't escape even if I want to. "
"Steady, we have to steady Tong Yehu."
"Yes, yes, we can't be anxious."
Tian Chen kept muttering to himself. In a short period of time, his mind gradually calmed down. His eyes were even sharper as he ordered, "men, help me change my clothes."
Outside the main hall, the servants who were already trembling in fear could only come over to help Tian Chen change his clothes when they saw that Tian Chen did not escape. After Tian Chen put on his clothes, he walked out of the bedroom and went straight to the main hall where he dealt with government affairs.
Although it was called the main hall, it was actually not very spacious.
It was just a slightly larger study room.
Tian Chen sat down straight and upright. He placed his hands on his knees and waited quietly. Not long after, he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside. Following that, Tong Yehu entered with a saber in his hand.
Behind Tong Yehu, a group of people followed.
They were all the leaders of the various Turkic tribes.
When Tian Chen saw that Tong Yehu had arrived, a faint smile appeared on his face. He said unhurriedly, "Tong Yehu Khan, why did you bring your army in so late at night?"
"To kill you!"
Tong Yehu's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Tian Chen said, "The problem is, what benefits will you, Tong Yehu, get if you kill me, Tian Chen?"
His heart was pounding. However, the more it was at this time, the more Tian Chen had to calm down. He must not panic. He must not panic first. If he panicked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tong Yehu said coldly, "keeping you is a scourge. Instead of that, I might as well kill you. Anyway, Gu Mo Kingdom can't stop Du Qi's army. "
Tian Chen chuckled and said calmly, "Why do you say that you can't stop Du Qi's army? You and I both have so many troops, and the combat strength of the soldiers is strong. We can fight."
"Tong Yehu Khan, you still have a chance to stop Du Qi, but you want to give it up. Once you give up now, it will be even more impossible to stop Du Qi. "
"Gu Mo Kingdom's line of defense must not be broken by Du Qi."
Tian Chen said, "If you kill me now, the defense in the city will immediately collapse. If you keep me, I can help you resist Du Qi. Tong Yehu Khan, I'm willing to listen to your orders and obey your arrangements. "
Tong Yehu narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you really willing to obey my orders?"
"Yes!"
Tian Chen immediately agreed.
In his heart, he was already thinking of a way to counterattack. As long as he survived this time, he could use the name of holding a banquet to trick Tong Yehu into coming over. He would first kill Tong Yehu, then destroy the Turkic army in the city.
Since Tong Yehu wanted to kill him, he would kill Tong Yehu first. At that time, he would also take down all the Turkic people in the city. As long as he planned properly, this could be arranged. However, he had to admit defeat first.
He had to survive this calamity.
When Tong Yehu heard Tian Chen's words, he was a little moved. However, Tong Yehu did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhao Dengyan and asked for his opinion. Ever since Mo Heduo was destroyed in the Battle of a Thousand Springs, Tong Yehu had relied heavily on Zhao Dengyan. He had to consult Zhao Dengyan's opinion on everything.
Zhao Dengyan smiled faintly and said, "Khan, Tian Chen has always loved the people like his children. He claims to be a wise ruler and has always worked hard to rule the country. If he surrenders to you, it means that he has to send over 300 women and even attack the people. "
"For a ruler who cherishes his feathers and cares about his reputation, this is impossible."
"Once Tian Chen does this, it's equivalent to cutting off his own path of retreat. Therefore, I think that Tian Chen's words are just to beg for mercy and to survive. After this scene happened, when he recovers, he will definitely counterattack crazily to take revenge. "
Zhao Dengyan said, "Between Tian Chen and Du Qi, other than the hostility between countries, there aren't many conflicts. On the contrary, you and Tian Chen now have a conflict that is difficult to resolve. "
"Under this premise, you still want to let Tian Chen go. Isn't that letting the tiger return to the mountain and giving him a chance to counterattack?"
"Du Qi's soldiers are at the city gates, but they surround and don't attack. His methods are too brilliant. He saw the loophole in Changcheng at a glance. It's impossible for us to use Changcheng to resist. "
"Therefore, there's no need for us to continue staying in Changcheng. Kill Tian Chen and leave the city as soon as possible. Once the changes in the city are discovered by Du Qi's spies, Du Qi will attack fiercely. It will be impossible for us to leave. Please think twice, Khan. "
Zhao Dengyan's eyes were sharp and filled with killing intent.
Tong Yehu nodded when he heard that.
He thought that Zhao Dengyan's analysis was reasonable. He walked towards Tian Chen with his knife.
Tian Chen's face twitched, especially as the distance between the two sides closed. At this moment, Tian Chen could no longer maintain his composure. He shouted, "Tong Yehu, do you really want to kill me? If you kill me, you won't be able to establish yourself in Changcheng. Even if you want to leave, it's impossible. Du Qi won't let you off. "
Tong Yehu sneered and said disdainfully, "after I kill you, I won't stay in Changcheng anymore. In addition, the reason why I want to kill you is very simple. I don't need an ingrate or a disobedient dog. "
As he spoke, Tong Yehu had already approached Tian Chen.
He slashed down with his knife.
The blade fell and with a pfft sound, it cut through Tian Chen's neck and cut through his skin. In an instant, blood splattered. Tian Chen opened his mouth and said a few words, but his voice was unclear. He could no longer speak clearly.
Tian Chen's body fell to the ground, and a moment later, he lost his breath.
After Tong Yehu killed Tian Chen, he ordered, "men, search the palace for me. Find all the valuable money and treasures in the palace. Take away all the beautiful women. Quick, make the best use of your time. "
With an order, everyone started to move.
Everyone quickly plundered.
Zhao Dengyan did not say anything. He went straight out of the palace and waited outside the palace. Tong Yehu did not personally plunder. He was also outside the palace, looking at the busy soldiers coming and going. His face was filled with anticipation and joy.
He still liked this feeling.
It was time to plunder.
It was time to plunder.
Only in this way could the power of the Turks be highlighted.
Zhao Dengyan's gaze was extremely deep. He looked towards the east and waited quietly. According to the plan that he and Lai Ji had discussed, someone would spread the news to the ears of the soldiers stationed at the city gate. Then, the soldiers stationed at the city gate would come back to help. On one hand, it would delay Tong Yehu's departure. On the other hand, it would weaken the strength of the guards stationed at the city gate.
At that time, the bad people in the city would take action and cooperate to open the city gate to welcome Du Qi's army.
This was the entire plan.
Of course, the so-called Du Qi's army entering the city was only a portion of the army entering the city. This was because there were still many troops and they had to plot against the Turk cavalry who were about to leave. It was impossible for them to let Tong Yehu escape.
Time passed bit by bit. After about 15 minutes, Zhao Dengyan's eyes were filled with anticipation. This was because it should be about time.
"Report!"
At this moment, a Turk cavalry galloped over on their horses. The Turk cavalry galloped extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were already outside the main hall. They got off their horses and shouted, "Khan, something bad has happened. The soldiers stationed in the city have discovered our tracks. Right now, a large group of soldiers is charging toward the palace. "
Tong Yehu frowned, but he didn't panic at all. This was because he had sufficient strength at the moment. He immediately ordered, "Pass down my order. Gather our troops and prepare for battle. Tell everyone to stop wasting time and gather first. We'll kill our way out and take care of this batch of soldiers stationed in Changcheng. After that, we'll plunder and kill our way out. "
Zhao Dengyan agreed, "Khan is right. We can't waste any more time. Once news of our internal strife spreads, Du Qi will be the first to break into the city and kill his way in. At that time, it won't be easy for us to retreat from the west gate. "
Tong Yehu said, "Sir's words make sense."
The soldiers went to pass down the order. Not long later, all of the Turk soldiers gathered. Many of the soldiers wore large gold chains and carried many treasures with them.
Tong Yehu didn't care about this because this was normal. He immediately gave the order to retreat. The army quickly left the palace. However, not long after they left the palace, they met the garrison of Changcheng who had returned.
The person in the lead was Lai Xingyu.
He had been on the city gate tower the whole time. Previously, someone had suddenly sent the news to the city gate tower that the Turks had gone straight to the palace. Lai Xingyu didn't know if it was true or not. As he arranged for people to investigate, he mobilized troops to the palace. No matter what, he had to guard the palace. On the way, Lai Xingyu confirmed the news. Now that he saw the Turks, Lai Xingyu knew that the Turks must have killed Tian Chen.
Lai Xingyu shouted, "Boys, the Turks killed the King and snatched our money. The Turks deserve to die. Kill, kill the Turks."
He was already filled with anger.
He wanted to kill the Turks and avenge Tian Chen. Originally, the soldiers of Changcheng already hated the Turks to the core. Now, when they saw so many Turks coming out of the palace, especially when many of them were wearing gold chains and holding treasures in their hands, many of the soldiers couldn't hold it in anymore. They roared and charged forward.
To these soldiers, Changcheng was their home. They couldn't allow the Turks to be presumptuous.
Previously, because Tian Chen needed the help of the Turks, all the soldiers endured the Turks' rampage and allowed them to snatch their treasures. Now, there was no need to endure anymore. One by one, they unleashed their tyrannical strength to kill.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Shouts rose and fell one after another.
One by one, the officers and soldiers of Changcheng City charged forward fearlessly.
When the two sides fought, even though the Turk cavalry was ferocious, the soldiers of Changcheng were filled with anger. Every soldier's mind was filled with thoughts of revenge and murder.
Even though the Turk soldiers were ferocious, they didn't have the upper hand for the time being. Most importantly, although the streets outside the palace were wide, in reality, it was barely wide enough for the Turk cavalry to attack. Under such circumstances, even if the Turks had the advantage in numbers, they couldn't crush the enemy.
On the contrary, the situation was in a stalemate.
This scene caused Tong Yehu to frown.
Tongyehu looked at Zhao Dengyan and said, "Mister Zhao, I didn't expect the troops in the city to be so difficult to deal with. Now, our army can't crush them. Under such circumstances, what should we do? "
Seeing such a situation, Zhao Dengyan was delighted. This was because the longer the stalemate, the better the situation would be. However, Zhao Dengyan couldn't say what he was thinking. He said solemnly, "Khan, we can't waste any more time. We can't waste any more time. "
Tongyehu gave the order.
Immediately, the Turk soldiers under him attacked with all their might. However, the soldiers in Changcheng were in a killing frenzy. They charged forward fearlessly just to kill one or two more soldiers. Even though Tongyehu's cavalry was ferocious, they couldn't kill a way out.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier shouted.
A Turk soldier came to Tongyehu's side and shouted, "Khan, look, there's a fire in the east."
Tongyehu frowned when he saw this.
The east was on fire.
Could it be that something had happened?
Zhao Dengyan immediately said, "Khan, it's very likely that there's a rebellion in the east. There must be a lack of troops in the east. Someone must be helping Du Qi. The situation isn't good. Retreat, we have to retreat immediately. Our original plan was to rob the civilians before leaving the city. However, we were blocked by the soldiers in Changcheng first. Now that there's chaos, we have to retreat quickly. Otherwise, the situation will be dire. "
Tong Yehu's heart tensed up. Once Du Qi's army entered the city, it would be very dangerous for him to retreat when the battle between his army and Du Qi's army broke out.
He had to retreat immediately.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Tong Yehu ordered loudly. Because of the current situation, Tong Yehu also became nervous.
