Chapter 371 The Funeral of Hezhou

It was almost noon, and the hot autumn sun made the earth smoke. However, the two armies, which were fighting hard, did not mean to stop at all. The fierce battle was still continuing. The city was full of corpses and blood flowed into a river. By this time, more than a thousand Tang troops had lost nearly half, but they still firmly controlled the head of the city, no On how the red-eyed Tubo and the Salah tribe allied forces attacked, although the city defense was shaky, it did not fall. After launching three strong attacks in a row, the exhausted Sala tribe had to temporarily stop the futile attempt and retreated to this array, lying like a pile of dead dogs on the ground, allowing the Tubo officers and soldiers who supervised the battle. How to scold, beat and scold, and refuse to stand up again. At this point, the war seems to have reached an impasse.

"Waste, it's all waste! Ning Gusidu, didn't you say that there is an internal response? What are you hiding? Waiting to die? Huh?"

As soon as the Sara clan soldiers retreated, Herzzan, who led the army to cover, had to withdraw back. When he saw that all the Sara clan troops were lying on the ground, the evil fire in his heart surged up. He unceremonially stared Ning Gusi, who was gasping for breath, and scolded him without hesitation.

"General, don't worry, someone is sending a signal and ignite!"

After being scolded by Hertz, Ning Gu Sidu's face was a little unable to hang up. He blushed and stamped his feet, and roared angrily. He was really depressed in his heart. Originally, according to the predetermined plan, as soon as the army attacked the city, the ambush in the city should have taken advantage of the chaos, and the inside and outside should take down the city, but The city has been attacked three times, and there was no movement in the city. Ning Gusi didn't know what the ambush soldiers in the city were playing. Seeing that the situation was a little wrong, Ning Gusi had to take out the last means of contact. After an order, a pile of hay mixed with wolf dung had been ignited by his soldiers. Come on, the thick black wolf smoke rolled straight up to the sky.

"My lord, look, the thief outside the city has lit a wolf smoke!"

After fighting to fight back the three strong attacks of the Tusa coalition, Zhang Mingwu was extremely tired, but he didn't have time to take a break. He patrolled back and forth at the head of the city. The soldiers under his hands seized the time to grab the rolling stones. When he was very busy, he heard a guard around him suddenly shouted, and his heart moved. He hurriedly looked out of the city. As soon as he saw the wolf smoke rolling up, the suspicion in his eyes couldn't help but thicken. While he was suspicious, a noise suddenly sounded under the stairway next to the gate.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Mingwu was upset. Hearing this, he was so noisy that the anger in his heart immediately rose. He walked to the top of the stairs and shouted in a cold voice.

"Your Excellency, this man below claims to be the shopkeeper of the 'Deng Ji's business' caravan. He said that he had something important to meet the adults, but he refused to say clearly. The brothers told him that the war was in full and that he could not go to the city. If he was not convinced, he quarreled with his brothers."

Zhang Mingwu's prestige in the army was high. As soon as he was so angry, the chaos below immediately calmed down. A captain rushed up to the corridor, bowed to Zhang Mingwu, and hurriedly made a statement to understand the reason.

"Bring it up!"

Zhang Mingwu saw that the big man surrounded by soldiers was burly and full of spirit. He was not like an ordinary person, and his curiosity arose. After a little meditation, he waved his hand and gave the order in a low voice.

"Little Li Yaodong is the shopkeeper of the 'Deng Ji Company' caravan. On the order of His Royal Highness, he has something important to talk to Lord Zhang in detail."

Since Zhang Mingwu had issued an order, a group of soldiers did not dare to neglect themselves. They escorted the big man and went to the city. However, seeing that the man was calm, he was not moved by the tragic situation of blood in the city. He bowed to Zhang Mingwu and reported it unhurriedly.

"Oh? Shopkeeper Li, please!"

Zhang Mingwu, the big name of "Deng Ji Company", has heard of it, but he did not know the relationship between "Deng Ji Company" and the British King's Mansion. At this time, when he saw Li Yaodong open his mouth, he carried the British King out. He dared not neglect it a little, so he waved his hand and gave Li Yaodong aside.

"Lord Zhang, Your Highness is here, please have a look!"

Li Yaodong was not in a hurry to explain anything, but took out a brocade silk from his arms and handed it to Zhang Mingwu.

"Brother Li has any instructions for coming here. Zhang just listens."

Although Zhang Mingwu has never dealt with Li Xian, he has heard a lot about Li Xian's prestige. This time, he saw that the brocade silk was covered with the seal of the king Li Xian. He did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly returned a salute, held the brocade in his hands, handed it back to Li Yaodong, and asked politely.

"Lord Zhang is polite. Li has been ordered to lead the caravan here for more than ten days. He wanted to discuss the matter of guarding with Yao Assassin, but he was never allowed to enter and had to move to the city. Fortunately, he learned about the internal response of the Sala people. For the blessing of Lord Zhang, Li's department has designed to completely annihilate the Sala people into the city. There are more than 200 spies. Now there is no need in the city. Lord Zhang can guard the city at ease, but after three days, His Highness will definitely send a large army to relieve the siege. In addition, Li also brought some sharp weapons to defend the city, which can help the lord.

Li Yaodong took the brocade silk handed back by Zhang Mingwu with both hands, folded it up carefully, and carefully took it back into the corset. The back was clear and briefly described the reason.

"Oh? How can there be such a thing?

Zhang Mingwu was already guessing the intention of the enemy's ignition outside the city. Listening to Li Yaodong's words, which had wiped out the enemy's internal response, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked in surprise.

"It's true. The situation is urgent. For details, please let Li report later, and please ask Lord Zhang to allow Li to bring the defensive weapon to the city immediately to fight against the enemy!"

The reason why Li Yaodong was able to annihilate the enemy in the city this time is quite tortuous. Generally speaking, it is mostly a component of luck. Just yesterday, a member of the caravan accidentally met several drunken Sala tribe soldiers in the tavern. Hearing some drunken words, he figured out the Sala tribe under the melons. At several Tibetan soldiers, Li Yaodong did not dare to neglect it. While flying pigeons wrote a letter to call Li Xian, he arranged manpower, put laxatives in the diet of the Salah tribe, and turned over the ambush. This is the root reason why Ning Gusi could not wait for the internal response, but there was still something wrong - by mistake, Li Xian, who was on his way overnight, failed to receive the important information sent by Li Yaodong in time, so naturally he could not issue relevant orders. The so-called reinforcements were actually what Li Yaodong estimated himself. At this time, it was difficult to explain to Zhang Mingwu, so he quickly turned the topic.

"Okay, you can get the help of Mr. Li. Zhang will stay for three days even if he is desperate. Don't be late, Mr. Li, please!"

Zhang Mingwu didn't have so many twists and turns. He didn't think about whether Li Yaodong's words were true at all. What he was concerned about was what Li Yaodong said about defending the city. There would be no obstruction, so he arched his hand and said excitedly.

"Li is obeyed!"

Seeing that Zhang Mingwu did not ask any more questions, Li Yaodong was secretly relieved and stopped talking nonsense. After responding loudly, he hurriedly rushed down the stairs and ran to the city, and disappeared at the corner of the street without counting breath.

"Children, go into the city and grab it for three days. If you want a woman, grab it yourself, rush, rush into the city!"

Just as Li Yaodong was negotiating with Zhang Mingwu, Ning Gusi tried his best to kick and hit the ground. He finally drove up a group of people who were on the ground, pulled their voices loudly and made a heavy promise. A group of daring Salat soldiers could rob for three days as soon as they heard it, and they had fallen to the extreme. The morale suddenly soared again, and he completely forgot the tragic situation of being killed by the Tang army a few times ago, and rushed to the city wall again.

"The whole army obeys the order: the cavalry suppresses the cover, and the infantry then supervises the array. If anyone dares to take a step back, there will be no mercy!"

Seeing that the Sala tribe soldiers launched a wild charge again, Herzzan twitched his face, showed a ferocious smile, and gritted his teeth and issued the order to attack the city.

"Brothers, His Royal Highness has an order to defend the city for three days, and the reinforcements will come, defend me in the Tang Dynasty, kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"

Zhang Mingwu just sent Li Yaodong away. When he turned around, he saw that the whole army of Tusa's allied forces had been dispatched. Since he knew that the time had come for a decisive battle, he could only repel the enemy's strong attack. The enemy's morale would be seriously frustrated. There was nothing more he could do. In view of this, Zhang Mingwu simply shouted about the news of the reinforcements. As soon as this word came out, the officers and soldiers of Tang, who were already trapped, immediately summoned up the courage to die. They shouted the battle horn one by one, and roared straight up to the sky!

Perhaps it was because of the threat of death brought about by the front pressure of the Tubo governor's team, or perhaps it was moved by the heavy reward of Ninggu Sidu. The Sala tribe soldiers rushed to the city wildly, and they ignored the falling wooden rolling stones on the city at all, regardless of the death arrows shot on the city. They were red-eyed and screamed. Already, even if the comrades-in-arms in front of him howled and were knocked down the ladder, regardless, they climbed up the extremely simple ladder. In just a moment, the city defense was in a hurry everywhere. There was a scuffle in the city. From time to time, someone howled and rolled down the head of the city, and the war had reached the level of white heat in just an instant.

"Kill, brothers, kill, don't live up to the high expectations of His Royal Highness, kill the thief! Kill! Kill! Kill it!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Mingwu led the personal guard to make up for the defense, and killed him with blood all over his body. His whole body was like being fished out in the sea of blood. However, this time, the allied forces were determined to break through the city in one fell swoop. No matter how Zhang Mingwu led his troops to kill, he could not suppress the offensive of the Sala clan soldiers. As time went by. The personal guards around Zhang Mingwu fell into the pool of blood one after another. At the end, only three people could barely follow him. The war has reached the most dangerous moment...
