This time, the emperor went north not only sent him Li Shimin, but also sent five thousand men from the Iron Guards in the Iron Guards in the Iron Guards to go north first to detect the movements of the Turks. Now he actually found the soldiers of the Iron Guards in the Iron Guards in the Black, which means that there were already Turkic soldiers nearby?

At this time, Li Shimin picked up a towel and quickly wiped the water from his body, and quickly changed into clothes.[]

"Where are you? Take me to run!" As soon as he went out, Li Shimin frowned and said hurriedly.

Li Xiaogong led the way, "The person is in the hall now. The doctor has been examined and has multiple knife injuries all over his body. He has lost too much blood now, but the doctor has used medicine and said he can hold on for a while."

Until the hall, Li Shimin discovered at a glance that the injured cavalry was indeed a black Iron Guard. Although the black Iron Guard was also a member of the Xiaoguo Army of the Iron Guard, their armor and equipment had special marks. For those of the black Iron Guard, there must be a black round shield logo on the armor of the armor, and there is also a crossed sign on the cuffs of their clothes. This mark is the exclusive sign of the black Iron Guard. At present, the injured soldier had a small round shield logo on the damaged armor. When checking his cuffs, there was also a crossed horizontal sword logo.

After confirming his identity, Li Shimin's expression was even more serious. "I am the general of Zuotun Guard Li Shimin. I need you to tell me what happened immediately."

The black-clothed iron guard coughed a few times, coughing up a large piece of blood, struggling to sit up, but he could only make in vain. A few personal guards helped him up and put a few pads under his back before he lifted up.

"The Turkic people are Turkic people. The Turkic people went south..." The iron guard looked moved, and he pointed at the north with his finger and said hard.

Li Shimin's face suddenly sank. Although the black-clothed Iron Guards were elite imperial guards, they only set out before him. But now, the black-clothed Iron Guards have been seriously injured by the Turks who went south. It is obvious that the Turks are already breaking through the Great Wall Pass and are near this.

The doctor brought a bowl of ginseng soup and fed the iron guard to drink it. After a bowl of ginseng soup, the guard really suddenly regained his energy and became much more energetic.

"General Sima led us north and divided the five thousand troops into ten troops in Mayi County, and investigated the movements of the Turks in different directions. The young one followed the one who went to the Bailang Pass, but as soon as we arrived there, we encountered the Turks."

"How many Turks were attacking you? What flag is it?" Li Shimin asked quickly.

"The boundless, five hundred of us were surrounded as soon as we discovered this Turkic group. In less than half a stick of incense, five hundred of us were wiped out. At that time, we jumped into love and fell into the river and barely escaped. I got on the other side of the river and found a horse in a village.

After rushing for dozens of miles, I finally fell off my horse. I don’t know how many Turks were, but I saw at least five thousand people, and not all of them. I only remember that their banner was a wolf, and one of them was a golden wolf. "The black-clothed iron guard tried hard to recall the scene at that time, with a pale face.

After hearing this information, Li Shimin was completely silent. He thought that they had not received any urgent reports and beacons so far, so the Turkic army should still be on the Dingxiang border.

Even when he saw the injured iron guard in black, he only thought that it was done by the Turkic scout team who sneaked into Mayi. But he did not expect that the iron guard in black said that the Turkic people attacked them were boundless, with more than 5,000 people.

What shocked Li Shimin even more was that there was a golden wolf-headed flag in the Turkic banner.

The golden wolf is a mark of the Turkic Khanate, but ordinary soldiers are not qualified to use this banner.

In addition to the Golden Wolf Banner representing the Great Khan, only the Turkish Ashina family can use this banner. Because the Golden Wolf Head is the symbol of the Ashina family that inherited the position of the Great Khan for generations. The appearance of the Golden Wolf Head Banner either means that the Great Khan has arrived or that it means that a tribal leader of the Ashin family has arrived.

The only difference between the two is the size of the banner. The Golden Wolf Banner of the Big Khan is the Golden Wolf Banner, while the Golden Wolf Banner of the other leaders of the Asana tribe is much smaller. But no matter which one,

At least it was the leader of the Asina family who arrived. As the royal family, the Asina tribe cavalry appeared in the hinterland of Hedong, which was enough to show that what Princess Yicheng said before was true.

Li Shimin was still a little unwilling to give up and turned to ask the doctor to see if the iron guard was seriously injured. He was talking nonsense just now. Before the doctor could answer, he suddenly heard a series of rapid "clang clang" alarm bells from the top of the city.

In the hall, Li Shimin, Chai Shao and others looked at each other, and it was really said that Cao Cao would arrive.

The alarm bell on the top of the city must have been the Turkic people. No matter how hard they asked the iron guard, Li Shimin got up and left, and shouted as he walked, "Immediately send orders to all the troops to gather all the troops quickly, and close the four gates immediately."

The sound of whimpering horns sounded everywhere in the city. The soldiers who had just taken off their armor couldn't help but put on their armor again and found their own team to gather together.

The sky was extremely heavy, and there would be a thunder sound from time to time. The rain that had just stopped began to fall again. But this time, it was not a drizzle, but a heavy rain like a big bean. Li Shimin and his generals had just climbed to the north city, and a muddy cavalry team was running over.

"What happened, why did the alarm bell sound?" Although he knew that it must be the Turkic people coming, Li Shimin still asked.

"General, the Turkic cavalry is here!" The ranger said in a trembling voice.

Li Shimin's hand holding the horizontal knife couldn't help but tighten, and what should come was still coming.

"When our ranger left the city and reconnaissed thirty miles north, he sent Turkic cavalry. He followed the Sanggan River and was full of cavalry. According to the fifteen thousands of men we saw, their flags were all golden wolf-headed flags. When we retreated, they had already discovered us and had been chasing us tightly when we came back. Now we are at most five miles away, and we will arrive in a flash."

Fifteen flags of thousands of men, which means that this team has at least 15,000 people. And the black-clothed iron guard is right, the other party is indeed fighting the golden wolf flag, which means that this cavalry comes from the most powerful royal family of the Turks, the Asina tribe.

At the same time, a worse fact has been placed in front of Li Shimin. There are 15,000 Turkic cavalry, which is definitely a large army. From Dingxiang to Mayi, they traveled through counties and counties along the way, and they could never hide their whereabouts until they were unaware of it for more than ten days. The only explanation is that this Turkic people may be just a vanguard. This Turkic people did not sneak in at all, they fought all the way. But they were too strong, and no one could escape the news of the city guards in Mayi Road in Dingxiang.

"They came so quickly!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

Chai Shao and others also frowned. They went north to go to the Great Wall Pass and rely on the Great Wall to block the Turks for a few days. Then the 500,000 army of the court would go north to attack the Turks. It was precisely because there were 500,000 troops behind them that Li Shimin would take all his belongings and 10,000 people north without hesitation. But now, as soon as he arrived here, he had already encountered the Turks.

"Sir, what should I do now?" Li Xiaogong asked.

"The Turks came too quickly, with 15,000 cavalry, and they may be just vanguards. I think we will retreat immediately in the end. In just one day, we can retreat into Mayi County. The city is strong, because we can rely on it for a while." Chai Shao said.

Li Shimin shook his head, "The Turks are moving south in a large scale, and we should indeed avoid their edge.

But we didn't retreat now. We have been traveling all day long and we were exhausted. If we return south immediately, we would be likely to be chased by the Turkic cavalry all the way. Most of the new recruits who have not yet been on the battlefield may be disintegrated, and then everything will be too late."

"What will happen to you in your opinion?" Although Li Xiaogong was young, he was very brave. He was very happy to hear that Li Shimin did not intend to retreat immediately.

There were dozens of generals and schoolmen gathered above the city. Everyone was silent and nervously waiting for Li Shimin's decision. The heavy rain poured down, reducing people's sight to the lowest point, and there was no sight to be seen more than ten steps away.

Li Shimin ignored the rain on his armor, frowned and put his hands on the battlements, and stared at the distance.

For some reason, at such a moment, Chen Kefu's shadow kept popping up in Li Shimin's mind.

He was also constantly thinking in his heart, what would he do if Chen Kefu encountered such a thing?

Thinking of the battles of the Liaodong Army, it was basically like the one in front of me.

At this time, he was very similar to the Liaodong Army at that time. His generals and schools were brave and resourceful. However, although his troops were powerful, he had never seen a bloody new recruit. Retreat at this time will undoubtedly greatly reduce morale. With exhaustion and lack of morale, he could not imagine that his troops could return to Mayi.

"We bet on a bet, and the Turkic army could not come to meet with the vanguard in such heavy rain. We bet on a long time. If the Turkic army would not arrive within half a day, we would win." Li Shimin said with a firm look on his face.

"How to bet?" Li Xiaogong asked immediately.
