Xiao Huayong was in the northwest, and the Northwest Royal City was in chaos. At this time, Xiao Huayong would chase Shen Xihe to the Northwest Royal City, which showed that Xiao Huayong's feelings for Shen Xihe were the same as his feelings for Ye Wantang, and he couldn't let go.
If he captured Shen Xihe and these uncles one by one, Xiao Huayong would have no choice but to take action himself.
Geng Liangcheng really needed a victory to stabilize the morale of his troops, because the death of Shen Yueshan had caused a depression throughout the northwest. The Turks were coming in full force, and Tingzhou was almost captured. These soldiers were already beginning to feel tired and confused. If their morale was low and they had lost confidence, then facing the brave Turks, the defeat would be irreversible.
The next day, he had no intention of sending troops. He was a veteran, and he had learned about the current crisis in Tingzhou through sporadic methods along the way. He reviewed the reasons for the successive defeats in this war from the beginning to the present, but none of them were complete.
He was just planning to use these two days to gain a thorough understanding of all aspects, but the Turks did not give him the time. Before daybreak, the horn sounded, and the Turks attacked the city before dawn, just before the defenders took over, when they were most tired.
He had already taken over the military power of Tingzhou from the Protector-General of Tingzhou, so he naturally could not retreat at this time.
He did not personally put on armor and go into battle, but instead sent his bravest right-hand men to force back the Turks who were about to climb onto the city wall. However, they did not give up and were determined to attack the city.
He stood on the city wall, watching the two armies fighting. After watching for a while, he suddenly found a weak loophole in the enemy army, and immediately led a small group of troops to counterattack from this place.
Everything was exactly as he expected. He led his men all the way to the vanguard of the Turks. The two were old rivals, and they started fighting. After Geng Liangcheng defeated the Turks under the city wall, the city gates opened, and thousands of troops rushed out with great momentum, and followed Geng Liangcheng to kill the Turks.
Under the city wall, the fighting was deafening and blood was splattering everywhere.
Geng Liangcheng rode on a horse, holding a long sword, and frequently clashed with the local vanguards who swung hammers. The soldiers from both armies who occasionally attacked by surprise were quickly dodged and killed by the two alert men. Soon, corpses piled up around them and the ground under their feet was dyed red.
The two men were equally skilled, and after several clashes, both were injured. At this moment, someone on the city wall shot arrows to help Geng Liangcheng. The archer's accuracy was very good, and every time he aimed at Geng Liangcheng's enemies.
With the help of this archer, it became difficult for the opponent to dodge the arrows and receive his moves. Geng Liangcheng quickly seized the opportunity and stabbed the enemy in the chest with a sword, but the opponent dodged in time and only the sword was stabbed in the arm.
Before he could pursue the victory, the enemy discovered that the vanguard was trapped and immediately came to help, even shooting arrows to prevent the archers on the city wall from shooting arrows to help. However, Geng Liangcheng still seized the opportunity and stabbed the enemy's horse in the neck with his sword.
The sword was drawn, and the horse's gentle blood sprayed on his and the enemy's faces. The vanguard on the horse fell down. Geng Liangcheng swung his sword and was about to look at the fallen vanguard. At this moment, a Turkic soldier blocked his sword, and another Turkish officer rode over, quickly reached out and pulled the fallen vanguard onto the horse, and galloped away.
