Chapter 360: Bloody Battle in Princess City, Lan Yu's Battle of Redemption

The feud between Wusun King Tibes and Tang Anxi Marquis Lan Yu has long been known to everyone in the Western Regions. Tibes has been seeking opportunities to avenge the murder of his wife and the destruction of his country.

In the Battle of Talas, Tibes had the opportunity to kill his enemy Lan Yu.

Unfortunately, he was disrupted by Tang champion Marquis Huo Qubing who suddenly rushed to the battlefield, and he could only watch his enemy Lan Yu slip away from under his nose.

Now, two months have passed since the Battle of Talas. With the help of Turhong, the general of the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition, Tibes, who has restored his country, is always looking for opportunities for revenge.

Now, his enemy Lan Yu is right in front of him, stationed in Princess City with only 30,000 troops, while Tibes can rely on a full 300,000 Arab Empire Eastern Expedition Army, as well as advanced siege equipment and cannons.

How could Tibes miss this excellent opportunity for revenge and the opportunity to kill his enemy Lan Yu?

The Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition General Turhong was also happy to do a favor and handed over the position of the vanguard commander of the attack on the Princess City to the Wusun King Tibes. This was also a way for him to win people's hearts!

So, facing Tibes' request, Turhong, who was in the main position, immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Since the Wusun soldiers and King Tibes are willing to be the vanguard of the army to attack the Princess City;"

"Then, this general will fulfill your wish!"

As he said, Turhong said to the generals in the tent with great dominance: "Everyone, in this case, this general will hand over the vanguard of this battle, as well as the opportunity to deal with the enemy soldiers and Huihe mobs in the city after breaking the city, to King Tibes?"

"Do you have any objections?"

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

General Turhong had spoken, so how could the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition generals under his command have any objections? They immediately raised their hands to express their approval of the general's arrangement.

Turhong immediately announced: "Well, this general will immediately order the Wusun King Tibis to lead the army to attack the Princess City early tomorrow morning!"

"Thank you for your help, General!"

Tibis immediately stood up, clenched his right fist and placed it across his chest, and then bowed to the General Turhong in the main seat to show his respect.

Then, he said to the Arab Empire generals present: "Generals, I am fortunate to have the help of the general to serve as the vanguard of this army's siege;"

"I promise you here that after breaking through the Princess City, the property, money, food, and women in the city will not be taken by me and the Wusun soldiers under my command, and they will be fully disposed of by the main general;"

"I only want, I only want the head of Lan Yu, the Anxi Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and I hope you will help me!"

After saying that, Tibis's blue eyes were rarely exposed to a ray of fierce light, as if he wanted to eat Lan Yu in the Princess City alive.

At the same time

In the Princess City, in the joint army camp of the Tang Anxi Iron Army and the Uighur garrison.

With the war imminent, Lan Yu, the Marquis of Anxi of the Tang Dynasty, who was the main general defending the city, also ordered all his generals to gather in the central army tent to discuss the strategy of resisting the enemy.

Outside the city, the news of the attack of the 300,000-strong Arab Empire's eastern expeditionary army had already spread in the Princess City.

In addition, the news that the Tang Dynasty had only sent a thousand cavalry reinforcements in response to the Western Regions mutiny had already spread in the Uighur Khanate, which led to the low morale in the Princess City at this time.

Especially the morale of the Uighur soldiers in the city was extremely low.

As for the fact that Lan Yu, the Marquis of Anxi, took the initiative to tell the Uighur Khanate the true situation of the reinforcements before the war, even his two deputy generals Luo Quan and Tan Li were quite dissatisfied.

The two believed that the morale of the army was the first priority when the war was imminent. It was a bad idea to inform the king and ministers of the Uighur Khanate of the true situation of the reinforcements at this time.

In response, Lan Yu only replied to the two: This general has not yet reached the point where he needs to trick the friendly soldiers to go to the battlefield. They are just bandits from the Arab Empire. Even without reinforcements, the military strength of the Anxi Protectorate can still defeat the enemy army!

Of course, this is just Lan Yu's external rhetoric.

In fact, he also received a secret decree from Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, asking him to truthfully inform the king and ministers of the Uighur Khanate that there were only a thousand cavalry reinforcements.

Lan Yu also knew that among the thousand cavalry reinforcements, Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, who led the expedition in person, was also among them.

Although Lan Yu did not know what the emperor's purpose was.

However, he still chose to implement the emperor's edict unswervingly.

As for the rest, he, Lan Yu, did not want to think about it, and he should not think about it.

All he could do was to ensure that Princess City would not fall into the hands of the enemy before the Emperor arrived there!
