Jieli no longer cared about these matters. He was curled up on the bed like a shrimp.
Several helpless physicians knelt beside him.
"Great Khan, please forgive us, but we are truly powerless!"
"Great Khan, his bones are shattered, they truly cannot be set!"
"Great Khan, spare our lives! Your injury is such that only a celestial being can heal it."
Jieli endured the pain in his foot and glared at the physicians: "Since you cannot even heal my injuries, what use do I have for you!"
"Guards, take these physicians away and behead them!"
*Hiss~ Ah!*
He accidentally moved his left leg, and the piercing pain in his foot returned.
"Great Khan, spare us!"
"Great Khan, no~~!"
The personal guards faithfully carried out Jieli's orders, dragging several physicians out of the tent.
Before long, the screams of the physicians could be heard from outside!
Who knew how they managed to scream when they were decapitated in one go.
Just then, the second wave of hot air balloons once again visited the Turkic encampment.
The bonfires in the camp were the best guides.
And in the center of this camp, without a doubt, was the great tent of Khan Jieli.
The Skyfire Army above enthusiastically sent another batch of gifts.
Dozens of oil cans and ignited explosive packs fell from the sky.
Jieli's foot pain had just subsided a little when he saw a large hole in the roof of his tent. The can landed less than three meters from his bed.
His freshly washed body was once again splattered with black oil.
"Damn it, again?"
"Guards!"
The personal guards outside rushed in, looking speechlessly at the cans on the ground and the oil on Jieli's face.
"Quick, quick, carry the Great Khan out and clean him up again!"
Jieli was very busy. The night was like hell for him, and he could no longer attend to the situation in the camp.
However, the soldiers operating the hot air balloons on the Tang army's side seemed to be having too much fun.
This feeling of being able to go all out was too great!
Wave after wave.
It was only after the leaders of all the tribes saw this and were forced to extinguish all the bonfires in the camp, and the Skyfire Army, unable to find their exact locations from the hot air balloons, could they finally find some peace.
The next morning, Jieli was awakened by the pain in the wound at the end of his lower leg.
That foot had finally been severed. Looking at the severed left foot in the wooden box beside him, Jieli's anger could not be suppressed.
No, why should I suppress it! What happened last night must have been the work of the Tang army.
Since that's the case, then the Tang army must be at Iron Mountain!
"Guards! Bring my warhorse into the great tent!"
It was best not to let the soldiers know that the Great Khan was a one-legged man, as it would greatly affect morale.
Therefore, another rope was needed to tie the boot onto his left leg and fasten it tightly to prevent it from falling off.
The personal guard looked at Jieli's pale face and was very worried: "Great Khan, your injury?"
"Get lost! What, have I lost a foot and my words are no longer effective? Is that it!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go fetch the horse right away!"
The personal guard quickly turned and went out, leading Jieli's warhorse into the tent.
"Help me mount the horse!"
After two personal guards helped him onto the horse, Jieli leaned over its back and went out of the tent.
As soon as he was out, he straightened his body, forced himself to muster his spirits to endure the pain of the wound, and roared at the two personal guards who had followed him out.
"Pass the order to all units, break camp! I want to capture Li Shimin alive and sever his limbs to vent my hatred!"
Before long, the entire Turkic camp began to bustle.
The leaders of all the tribes, with their personal guards, came before Jieli.
"Great Khan!"
"Attack!"
Jieli didn't want to waste any more words and directly whipped his warhorse.
*Hiss~*
The warhorse, in pain, immediately reared up on its hind legs. After its front legs landed heavily on the ground, it charged forward.
The leaders of all the tribes quickly followed.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves filled the air.
*Gangde Gang~ Gangde Gang~ Gangde Gang~*
More than two hundred thousand troops surged towards Iron Mountain.
"Mayday, Mayday, this is Flying Sky Two. The Turkic army has broken camp and will arrive in one incense stick's time."
Fang Er was in Li Shimin's tent, discussing military affairs with several big shots, when the walkie-talkie on his waist suddenly rang.
"Hahaha, that old fellow couldn't wait any longer!"
"Let's go meet him!"
Li Shimin got up from his stool, waved his sleeve, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Having slept for seven hours, he felt full of energy.
After everyone followed him out of the tent, they each got into their vehicles.
"Old sirs, let's go meet Jieli together!"
"Kid, let's go!"
Li Shimin, sitting on the roof of the pickup truck, patted the car window.
Fang Er skillfully shifted gears, pressed the accelerator, and released the clutch.
The pickup truck roared out of the Tang army camp.
Six armored vehicles and thirty tricycles followed closely behind.
Thirty-seven vehicles headed towards the direction the Turkic army was coming from.
The two sides were only five li apart.
And they were coming head-on.
Fang Er had only smoked a few puffs of his cigarette when he saw the dense column of Turkic cavalry approaching. He decisively stopped the car.
Li Jing and the others' armored vehicles and pickup trucks stopped side by side.
Soldiers got out of the vehicles and used chains to link these seven vehicles together.
Then the convoy started again.
The tricycles behind were also linked by chains.
As the distance between the vehicles was pulled apart, the players in the hot air balloons saw two lines, one short and one long, one in front and one behind, charging towards the Turkic cavalry.
"Report! Report to Great Khan, dozens of strange things are rushing towards us!"
The vanguard of the Turkic army saw the convoy and immediately went to the middle of the formation to report to Jieli.
Jieli's face darkened: "What things? How are they strange? The military intelligence is so unclear, what use do I have for you!"
"Guards! Behead him!"
A personal guard galloped forward, drew his saber, and cut down the messenger soldier in one stroke.
The leaders behind Jieli remained silent.
Since his foot was smashed yesterday, Jieli had been very irritable.
Yi Nan and Ashina Shibao exchanged glances, and each saw dissatisfaction with Jieli in the other's eyes.
"Qi Bi Heli!"
Suddenly, Jieli called out a name.
"Your subordinate is here!"
One person emerged from among the many Turkic generals.
"Lead your unit and go find out what these strange things are!"
"Yes!"
Qi Bi Heli bowed respectfully, then got back on his horse.
"My soldiers, follow your general to kill the enemy!"
