Chapter 373 Danger

There is a saying that men don't shed tears easily, just because they haven't been sad, but when they really go to the sad place, even if he is an iron man, I'm afraid he can't stop tears of sadness. At this moment, in the face of the fall of his peers who have been together for more than 500 years, even though Zhang Mingwu has been in the army for many years, he is used to life and death, but he can't help but shed sadness. Tears, of course, sad. As the main general of a army, Zhang Mingwu will not forget the heavy burden on his shoulders. Just for a moment, Zhang Mingwu suddenly wiped the tears on his face, gritted his teeth and ordered, "The whole army obeyed the order. Team C stayed to clean the battlefield, and the rest of the teams immediately went to the city to rest. Don't leave your hands, spread out!"

"No!"

Despite the victory, in the face of such high casualties, a group of Tang officers and soldiers were really not happy. In addition, the enemy had not been far away. Before the war was known, there was no reason for the troops to be happy. However, once Zhang Mingwu gave the order, the soldiers did not have the slightest arrogance. Each of them answered loudly. Except for the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield and some of the people who came to help spontaneously, the rest retreated down the wall in turn and did not go far. They sat by the wall and rested.

"Lord Zhang, although the enemy is temporarily retreating, it will definitely come back after leaving. Although there are still some bombs carried, once such things are exposed, it is difficult to have unexpected results. Once the enemy is ready, it is difficult to repel the thieves. Now, we must be prepared early."

Previously, when he saw Zhang Mingwu sad and tearful, although Li Yaodong was also sad, he couldn't help but worry that Zhang Mingwu was sad and forgot the rest. At this time, when he saw Zhang Mingwu so quickly, he came to his senses, and he was much relieved. After a little meditation, he stood up from the side and said in a low voice.

"What Brother Li said is very true. Now that Yao's assassin has abandoned the city, I would also ask Brother Li to work more and organize the people in the city to help defend the city. As for the training, Zhang is duty-bound."

Although Zhang Mingwu's official position is not high, he is an old man who fights the war. He knows that although the power of the "bomb" is not small, it is not enough. If he wants to defend the city, there is no possibility at all by relying on such a little force. After thinking about it, he made a decision.

"Li is at his own service. In addition, he still has to inform His Highness, and let him leave first. As for all the business guards, they are under the unified command of Lord Zhang."

It's not an easy job to summon Min Zhuang, but Li Yaodong didn't refuse at all. He accepted it. After saying a word, he hurried down the gate tower and walked towards the city...

The sky gradually dawned up. Li Xian, who had not closed his eyes almost all night, rubbed his astringent eyelids, rubbed his face hard, stood up from the sand table, stretched out fiercely, moved his arms a few times, raised his feet out of the Chinese army tent, looked at the eastern sky, and took a deep breath of the atmosphere. He exhaled and threw his head hard. It seemed that he intended to throw away all the troubles in his mind, but the troubles were still annoying, and it could not be alleviated by how Li Xian's movements.

The war situation is still chaotic. Although Li Xian has been thinking about it all day, he is still a little uncertain about the situation. The key is whether Hezhou can hold it - Li Xian, an urgent letter sent by Li Yaodong before the war, has already received it, and also knows the news of the ambush of the Sala tribe in the city of Phan, but for Li Xian still dares not hold too much hope as to whether Yao Wangshu can defend the city. If Hezhou is lost and wants to take it back, it will not be so easy. It is necessary to mobilize the mobile forces in the west of the river to win. Obviously, this is not an easy thing, and the time is also a little tight, but if it is If Hezhou can be steady, Li Xian can make more choices than old and young, at least there will be no sense of embarrassment. Therefore, even if he knows that the city of Phan is going to fall, Li Xian still holds the hope of just in case and intends to wait for the latest news from "Mingyi" before making a final decision.

Waiting is undoubtedly annoying, especially the overall waiting, which is more an unbearable torment. Even if it is as strong as Li Xian, it can't help but be annoyed. It has been all night, and no news has come from it. Li Xian's patience is almost exhausted, but out After careful consideration, Li Xian still forcibly resisted the impulse to send troops and silently waited for the news of joy or worry.

"Your Highness, there is news!"

Just as Li Xian looked at the sky in a daze, Lin Chengbin quickly turned out of a tent not far away. As soon as he saw Li Xian standing at the door of the big tent, he did not dare to neglect it a little. He hurried to the front, bowed and handed a small copper pipe in his hand to Li Xian.

"Oh?"

Hearing the news that had been waiting for a long time, Li Xian finally came back. Li Xian couldn't help trembling and didn't talk much nonsense. He took over the small copper pipe, took a deep breath, twisted the secret button on it, took out a small note from the inside, and glanced at it quickly. His face became a little gloomy in an instant, but he didn't answer much. Shi, just waved his hand and ordered loudly, "Go drums, click!"

"No!"

Although Lin Chengbin was curious about the content of the note, since Li Xian didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask more. He hurriedly answered the promise and didn't mention the relevant matters. For a moment, a burst of drums suddenly sounded, and the originally quiet barracks boiled up in an instant...

The night passed quickly. The Tusa coalition camp was quiet and did not launch a night attack. A day passed again, and the sun had turned slightly to the west. The Tusa coalition still had no sign of going out. Only several teams galloped back outside the camp, and did not even provoke the defenders at all. The defenders in the city No one knows what the Tusa coalition is playing a trick, but no one cares about it. They are all busy repairing the city defenses, and all the people in the city have been mobilized. There are busy crowds everywhere in the small Hanhan City. Until the last moment, this rare harmony was finally raised by a burst of smoke and dust raised behind a mountain beam in the south. It was knocked into pieces.

"Woo-woo..."

A sad horn suddenly sounded, and the originally orderly head of the city was in a panic. The people who were helping to repair the fortifications on the top of the city were in a mess, and the sound of crying for parents for a moment.

"What's going on? Why did you blow the trumpet?

Zhang Mingwu and Li Yaodong were looking at the camp of the allied forces in the west city. They suddenly heard the Nancheng horn. They did not dare to neglect it. They rushed to the south city wall with a few guards. As soon as they saw the scene turned into a pot of porridge, there was a burst of fire, and their dark faces scolded.

"Lord Zhang, look, the thieves are coming!"

With such a loud roar, Zhang Mingwu suppressed the chaos at the scene. However, without waiting for him to say more, a team was already pointing out of the city and drinking loudly. Zhang Mingwu looked out of the city and saw a team of Tubo cavalry escorting thousands of people rushing towards the city wall. Zhang Mingwu's eyes were condensed in an instant, and a bad foreboding immediately surged into his heart - Anxiang County is over!

"Listen to the people in the city. Anxiang has been conquered by our army. You have become a lonely army. Why don't you stay early?"

Zhang Mingwu's hunch was really true. Without waiting for the defenders at the top of the city to react, they saw a partial general rushing out of the Tubo army and rushing to the city with great power, shouting in incomparable Chinese.

"Is Anxiang broken? Oh, I'm afraid my in-laws are going to be bad!"

"Daw, kill a thousand knives. My daughter is married to Anxiang. What should I do?"

"It's over, it's over, there's no hope!"

......

As soon as I heard that Anxiang had fallen, the people at the head of the city were in chaos again. Countless noises were intertwined, and sometimes there were low cries. The atmosphere of the whole city was suffocating. Before the battle had begun, morale had suffered a serious setback.

"The king team is withdrawing the people from the city, and the whole army is preparing for war!"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Mingwu did not dare to neglect it. He pulled out the horizontal knife around his waist, waved it hard, and shouted loudly.

"No!"

Since the general had already made a speech, a group of garrison officers and soldiers did not dare to neglect it. They answered their promises loudly and dispersed the people at the head of the city, leaving only hundreds of people who were on standby, waiting for the Tubo army to attack again.

"Your Excellency, look, it's Yao Assassin!"

"Ah, it's really Yao Assassin, he is..."

"Daesn, isn't this a Tubo dog?"

......

Obviously, the Tubo army did not intend to launch an urgent attack, but slowly opened the formation below the city. A moment later, a middle-aged scribe in the red official robe of the Tang Dynasty, surrounded by more than a dozen Tubo cavalry holding round shields, slowly marched from the rear to the city. The sharp-eyed soldier recognized the middle-aged official at a glance. It turned out to be Yao Wangshu, the assassin of Hezhou. In an instant, the sound of chaos in the whole city became loud, and the morale, which had been seriously depressed, fell to the bottom in an instant.

"Is Lieutenant Zhang there? Yao Wangshu, the assassin of Hezhou, is here, and I also asked Lieutenant Zhang to come out to talk.

Looking at the strict guard on the top of the city, Yao Wangshu's face turned pale. However, the donkey was not reversed, and the posture of the assassin was still full. He moaned his voice, which was quite similar to the same thing, but the slight trill in the words clearly showed the true nature of his personality.

"Brother Li, look at this..."

Facing Yao Wangshu, his immediate boss, Zhang Mingwu was a little uncertain. He looked sideways at Li Yaodong beside him and hesitated to ask half of the words.

Although Li Yaodong was not from a military background, he may have been sent to Hezhou so carefully by Li Xian. Naturally, there is something extraordinary. Just by looking at the situation under the city, it is known that it is difficult to have a peaceful situation today. He frowned in his eyebrows and did not dare to make a decision easily...
