Niu Jinda is a former general of the Qin Palace. He is not as capable as Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, but he is better at being steady. He may not be that strong when charging into battle, but when it comes to defending the city, there will be no problem.

Li Shimin sent Li Kuan to Liangzhou City, but Niu Jinda was reluctant. After all, Li Kuan's reputation in Chang'an City was too bad. He was afraid that Li Kuan's arrival would not only fail to stabilize the situation in Liangzhou, but would actually

It messed up Liangzhou City.

However, in many cases, fame is not as good as meeting. It can be said that Li Kuan's performance after arriving in Liangzhou impressed Niu Jinda. If Li Kuan had not insisted on leaving the city stubbornly, it can be said that Niu Jinda was extremely satisfied with Li Kuan.

If you are in danger while out of the city, should you save yourself or not?

If he was rescued, he might have fallen into the trap of the Western Turks to encircle him for help. If he was not rescued, he would be Li Shimin's son!

Niu Jinda, who was walking around anxiously in the government office, felt his heart drop when he heard that Li Kuan had sent someone to ask for urgent permission.

It’s over, it’s just what you’re afraid of.

To save or not to save, that is the question.

"Let him in immediately."

No matter what, people must be seen. At worst, he will personally lead a team of troops to rescue Liangzhou City, leaving Liangzhou City to his deputies to guard. As long as the army does not leave the city again, there is no need to worry about Liangzhou City being lost.

As for myself, risking my life to rescue Li Kuan, regardless of success or failure, is worthy of Your Majesty.

It's just a pity for the soldiers who followed him to rescue him.

"Hey!" Niu Jinda let out a long sigh and suddenly had an idea.

"General Niu, my prince has succeeded, my prince has succeeded!"

As soon as the guards of the Chu Palace saw Niu Jinda, they immediately shouted excitedly, "The prince asked me to inform the general and immediately arrange for all the cavalry to leave the city and go straight to Liangye Valley outside the city."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Niu Jinda was a little confused, "What do you mean when you say that the prince succeeded? What was the success?"

Although Niu Jinda had a vague feeling that the guards were talking about Li Kuan's attack on the Western Turkic troops, he couldn't believe it.

There are 20,000 Western Turks, and the King of Chu’s bodyguard only has a thousand people. It’s impossible to win?

Even if the Turks were to be chopped down without moving, they could still cut the hands of the guards of the Prince of Chu's palace to softness.

"General Niu, the Western Turks, the prince has defeated the Western Turks. In order to prevent the Western Turks from escaping back to the grassland, General, please send troops and horses out of the city quickly." Although the guard did not see the battlefield with his own eyes, he was loyal.

Fulfilling his mission, he firmly believes that his prince has really defeated the Western Turks.

After all, as members of Li Kuan's escort, everyone knows about hot air balloons and fuel bombs. When they went out to fight this morning, Li Kuan also explained the attack strategy clearly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu defeated the Western Turks?" Niu Jinda looked at the guards in front of him with disbelief.

If he hadn't had some impression of this guard from time to time, he would have arrested this guy. Compared with his identity as a guard of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, he was more like a spy of the Western Turks.

He deceived the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou City to leave the city, and then waited for the attack of the Western Turkic cavalry.

"These are critical times. If you say the wrong thing, people will die. Many people will die. The prince only brought a thousand people, what can they do? Don't say that I don't believe that a thousand people can defeat 20,000 people.

, no one in the entire Liangzhou garrison would believe it."

"Yes, what the general is saying is, what happened to His Royal Highness the King of Chu? What happened? If you report it to the general truthfully, there may be room for recovery."

I don't know when, there were many more people in the hall, and Niu Jinda's deputy general also stood up and spoke.

"I...I don't know how to explain it to you, but since the prince said that the Western Turks have been defeated, it means they have been defeated. If you don't send troops, the Western Turks will run away. It depends on how you explain to the prince and how you make peace with the prince.

The court will explain."

Seeing all the Liangzhou guards looking at him with disbelieving expressions, the guards also became angry.

Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that my prince can't do it.

"Liangzhou City cannot be compromised. This is related to the layout of the Tang Dynasty in the northwest. But the prince has to save it, so be it. I will personally lead three thousand cavalry out of the city. You should watch Liangzhou City carefully. Without my order,

No more soldiers are allowed to leave the city."

Niu Jinda didn't bother to argue with the guards. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he had to go, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to His Majesty later.

"Lead the way!"

…

The fire in Liangyegu had lasted for almost an hour, and almost everything that could be burned was burned before the fire was naturally extinguished.

In the valley, the corpses of Western Turks and horses were lying everywhere.

In this environment, more people and animals would be killed by the smoke from the fire than directly burned.

Except for a small number of Western Turks who escaped from the valley, most of them were killed in the fire.

Even the small group of people who rushed out of the valley were killed again by the hundreds of royal guards who followed.

It stands to reason that there are thousands of people who rushed out, and they are still capable of fighting against the Chu Palace guards who do not have the advantage in numbers. However, these Western Turks have obviously lost the fighting spirit to resist. They have only one idea, to escape from this devil's cave quickly.

.

One was full of momentum, the other was just running for his life, and more than a thousand people were chased and beaten by hundreds of guards. It was a miracle.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that each of the guards of the Chu Palace is equipped with a crossbow as standard.

When encountering the Western Turks, a wave of crossbow arrows were fired at them, and a bunch of them were immediately knocked down. When they continued to pursue, the power of the bows and arrows came into play.

"My lord, we captured hundreds of prisoners, and probably two to three hundred escaped. The others should have died in the valley. The specific results are still being tallied."

Xi Junmai recounted the results of the battle with excitement. Today's events had an unprecedented impact on Xi Junmai. Li Kuan, with a thousand guards, went out of the city to attack 20,000 Western Turkic elites. At that time, Xi Junmai was carrying

I risked my life to repay Li Kuan for saving his life.

But who could have imagined that the ending would be...

"Let me confirm, is the body of the slave chief Abdul in the valley? There is also his dog-headed military advisor. I heard that he was the one who came up with the idea for this raid on Liangzhou."

Li Kuan had already gotten off the hot-air balloon and mounted his big maroon horse, but he did not dare to go into the valley.

If you think about it, you will know that it must be a human Shura field.

Let the Liangzhou garrison deal with this situation.

Anyway, it’s okay to help them deal with the Western Turks and let them do some dirty work, right?
