Chapter 374 In Danger

Anxiang is located more than 80 miles southeast of Huanghan City. It is located on the bank of the Huangshui River. The terrain is flat and the land is fertile. It is one of the few grain-producing areas in Hexi. However, because it is located on the border and the population is not large, although the mu yield is high, the total output is not too large, and because there is no danger to guard, the strategic position cannot be considered sudden. Out, the Tang army did not have heavy troops stationed in this county. Only the local county government prepared a small-scale civil regiment to maintain public security. In terms of such strength, it was not surprising that the Tubo army was captured by the raid, but it was calculated as time, and it came out strange.

More than 80 miles is indeed not a big deal for the Tubo cavalry who are running wildly. It is only a foot journey of less than two hours. The problem is that if the Tubo cavalry attacks Anxiang at night, they must be prepared for the attack of the defenders of Fanghan City. Naturally, they dare not go blatantly. They can only take advantage of the quietness of the night. However, sneaking out of the camp and rushing to Anxiang, the sky is bound to be bright. It is impossible for Anxiang County to find the enemy's army. Even if it is unprepared, it is not difficult to resist for an hour or two. In this way, the Tubo cavalry is going to escort the people in the city back. I'm afraid it won't be able to get there until the sun sets. In the city, but at the end of the eyes, the Tubo army actually appeared, which only means one thing - Anxiang surrendered without a fight!

With such a drop in Anxiang County, the problem is serious. Not only is it the trouble that many people fall into the enemy, but what is more troublesome is that the grain in Anxiang City may have fallen into the enemy - according to the regulations, although Anxiang produces grain, it cannot store grain. All the surplus grain must be concentrated in the state for use, but the governor of Hezhou is Yao Wangshu. Such a lazy man who ignores business is already in late autumn. This year's summer and autumn seasons of grain have not been transferred to the state grain depot, and it is still placed in Anxiang County. More than 2,8 hundred stones of grain is so cheap for the Tubo people. Counting the income of the Tubo army, the amount of grain will have to be doubled several times. With so many heavy Tusa allied forces, there will be no worries. Not only that, I'm afraid that so much grain is enough to be used by the Tubo army in Shanzhou City for a month. There is no doubt that under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to force the Tubo army to withdraw by delaying the war. The situation is for the general soldiers. For the Hexi Tang army, whose strength is far less than half of the Tubo army, it has reached a critical juncture!

Zhang Mingwu is a standard soldier. It's okay to command the war, but it's limited to the level. He doesn't see the strategic things so clearly. He is just worried about the fall of Anxiang, and the city of Hanhan has become a lonely city, but he doesn't think much about the importance of grain to the Tubo army, but Li Yaodong is different. Although he is also from the bottom, when he came to Hezhou this time, he has received a clear instruction from Li Xianfei's letter in advance. The importance of grain is much more thorough than Zhang Mingwu. The reason why he has not made a statement at this time is that he is thinking about the possibility of saving the crisis, but after all, he is not Zhuge Liang. The wise man frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a safe way. In desperation, he had no choice but to nod to Zhang Mingwu and said, "Lord Zhang doesn't need to show up. If you can believe it, it's up to Li."

"Well, Brother Li, please!"

Zhang Mingwu himself is not good at socializing. In addition, Li Yaodong has the status of a special envoy of the British king. He is happy to come forward to deal with Yao Wangshu, an old boss, so he waved his hand without hesitation and said please.

"Hmm." Li Yaodong didn't say anything more. After saying a word, he gave Zhang Mingwu a wink. He stood up and made a cinching action. Then, without Zhang Mingwu's response, he strode to the edge of the wall plate.

"Where is Captain Zhang? Why do I avoid seeing you here?"

Li Yaodong thought for a little longer. Yao Wangshu, who was waiting under the city, was extremely impatient. Li Yaodong, dressed in casual clothes, leaned out of the city, immediately held the assassin's shelf, and shouted angrily.

"Where did the mad dog come from? How dare you bark here, looking for death?"

Li Yaodong is a rich man in the world. He has always looked down on the soft bones. Now it is known that Yao Wangshu surrendered to Tubo, and he is not very polite to him. At this opening, he humiliated Yao Wangshu fiercely.

"You..., bastard, who are you? If you dare to go against this, go and ask Zhang Mingwu to come out. I have my own instructions!" Yao Wangshu was blue with Li Yaodong's words. He pointed to Li Yaodong and roared in shame.

"Lord Zhang doesn't have time to see you, such a traitor like a traitor. If you have a fart, let it go quickly. If you want to be quite pestered, be careful of the bow and crossbow!"

Li Yaodong secretly saw that the left and right crossbowmen were sneaking up against the wall. He wanted to delay more time and create a good opportunity for the bowmen to kill, which scolded Yao Wangshu.

"Brick, I am the assassin of Hezhou. If Er'an dares to insult me like this, he must be killed. Get out of here and call Zhang Mingwu to listen to the training!"

Yao Wangshu was so angry that he was stimulated by Li Yaodong's words. He clamped the horse's abdomen hard under his feet, took a few steps forward, pointed to Li Yaodong, and cursed.

"It's a special envoy of His Royal Highness, everyone, listen carefully. Yao Wangshu betrayed me in the Tang Dynasty and destroyed the nine clans. Such a dog thief dares to think of himself as an assassin. Come on, kill!"

Sneaking to see that several crossbowmen had moved in place, Li Yaodong didn't want to waste more words with Yao Wangshu. This raised his tone and drank a voice. He immediately saw several crossbowmen poking out of the back of the city disc, or holding a bow and arrow, or aiming at Yao Wangshu with a crossbow machine, ready to give him a hand. A random arrow was shot on the spot.

"Ouch!"

Yao Wangshu's reaction was alert. At this time, the crossbowmen on the head of the city glanced over and didn't care much. He jumped off the horse with an exclamation and lay down behind the horse's buttocks. However, when he heard a sound of strings, several arrows shot straight down. Unfortunately, most of them shot on the horse, and only one arrow shot on Yao Wangshu's shoulder, although he shot it. Looking up to the sky and fell to the ground, but unfortunately it was not a fatal injury. After waiting for the crossbowmen to open their bows again, the Tubo round shield cavalry who had reacted to it had rushed up and dragged Yao Wangshu away regardless.

"Hahaha..., the troops listen to the order: Those who can kill the traitor Yao Wangshu, remember one great achievement, advance to the third level, and reward a thousand yuan!"

Looking at the figure of the Tubo cavalry fleeing in confusion, although Li Yaodong secretly regretted that he could not kill Yao Wangshu in one fell swoop, he would not forget to take the opportunity to boost his morale. Then he laughed loudly and opened a very heavy reward. When the officers and soldiers who guarded the city heard it, they couldn't help but be shocked and talked about each other excitedly. For a moment, The morale that had reached the bottom of the valley suddenly rose.

"Huh, rubbish! Lift it down!"

Herzzan, who was standing in this array, originally expected Yao Wangshu to surrender without fighting with his identity as an assassin, but he didn't expect that the defenders in the city did not give this so-called assassin a face. Looking at Yao Wangshu's half-dead embarrassment, Herzzan's heart was angry and he didn't even bother to look at it. At the last glance, he waved his hand impatiently and let people take Yao Wangshu back to the camp, but he pulled out a big knife on his waist and pointed to the head of the city. He was about to order a forced attack on the city.

"General, wait a minute. There are so many Chinese dogs, why don't you follow the plan!"

Seeing that Herzzan was going to attack again, Ning Gusi was immediately anxious. He didn't want to send his own warriors to die in vain. He hurriedly grabbed it from the side and proposed loudly.

"Huh? Humph!"

Herzzan was obviously extremely annoyed by Ning Gu Sidu's behavior of interrupting his order, but he also knew that this was not a good opportunity to attack again. He would not oppose Ning Gu Sidu's proposal, but he did not give him a good look. He snorted coldly and didn't say much, but just waved his hand to signal Ning Gusi to act according to the predetermined plan. However, he took a few steps forward on his horse. The wolf Gu Ying looked at the low city, and his eyes were full of undisguised coldness.

"Children, it's a big show for the Hangou in the city!"

Ning Gusi only asked for the loss of his warriors for nothing, and he would not care about Herzzan's attitude. At this time, Herzzan had agreed to his suggestion and did not dare to delay a little. He ran to his own array, waved his hand and shouted excitedly.

"It's a big play!"

"Wow, brothers, let's go!"

"Play it!"

......

A group of Sala tribe soldiers have obviously been waiting for this order for a long time. When they heard that their head had opened their mouth, there was nothing to be polite. They cried and shouted, and rushed straight to the crowded people of Anxiang. They either pulled or pulled out more than a hundred young men and women, and pushed them to be less than a miles away from the city. At the place, he stripped off the women's clothes without shame and committed adultery/** on the spot. Not only that, but also a group of Sara clan soldiers tortured the captured young men of the Han family with knives, horse whips and other things. They took pleasure in killing and did their best to do cruel things!

"Damn it, thief!"

"Buncle, it's good to come to me. It's a good thing to kill prisoners!"

"Lord Zhang, the scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Fight with the thieves!"

"Yes, fight, brothers, get out of the city!"

......

The men of the Tang Dynasty are all iron men. At this time, the Tusa coalition actually openly did such evil things under the city. How could they swallow the evil spirit in their chest? They all stared and let out a loud roar.

Zhang Mingwu is also a hot-blooded man. When he saw that the children of the Han family actually suffered such a humiliation, he was so angry that he trembled all over. A pair of fists clenched white, the blue veins on his arms were exposed, his eyes were as red as blood, and his whole body was full of terrible blood. He couldn't wait to rush down the city immediately to do those The evil Tusa coalition army was torn to pieces, but unfortunately he couldn't. As the main general of the army, Zhang Mingwu knew very well that as soon as he came out of the city, it meant one thing - the whole army was destroyed! But when he didn't attack, it was difficult to suppress the anger of the whole army. In a hurry, he couldn't help but have a headache...
