Chapter 677: Capture the Copper City
The revenge of the wolves, the fierceness and intensity of which the Tubo Great Food Alliance did not expect. The wolves were extremely fierce, the generals defending the city were invincible, and Queen Cang retreated to defend the copper city, and she no longer fought if she was killed.
There is no moat in the copper city, and the wolves cannot enter the city along the river, and the city walls more than ten meters high are all made of large bluestones more than one meter wide, and they cannot be bombarded with fire and thunder.
"What should I do?" Lu Xiu ran out of ideas.
"Besiege but not attack, scare them for a few days before talking." I thought for a moment and said.
During the day, I asked Lu Xiu to call for battle with officers and soldiers, and at night I arranged for wolves to harass me.
The wolf howled in the middle of the night, one after another, as if it was ringing in the ears, startling the Tubo coalition army in the city and unable to sleep at night. After several days of harassment during the day and night, the soldiers defending the city were dry and depressed.
Seeing the opportunity, I said, "Now they should be powerless to resist the attack."
Taking advantage of the panic inside and outside the Copper City, Lu Xiu ordered: "Attack the Copper City!"
Set up the city ladder, the wolves went first, and the vigorous hungry wolves lightly followed the steep city wall on all fours, and jumped to the top of the wall in a few jumps. The Tubo coalition army, which was already afraid of hungry wolves, was even more frightened when they saw the wolves suddenly descend from the sky.
"General, let's get out of the Copper City quickly." There is a big food general Hatta proposed.
"It's not easy to take down the copper city, how can you easily retreat!" Manitalia, the general who defended the city, shouted sharply.
"If you don't retreat, you will only be wiped out." Attaye, a close confidant of Manitaya, also advocated the withdrawal of the army.
"Hurry up and go to Qingguan City for help, the reinforcements we ambushed in the periphery are estimated to be arriving soon, everyone hold on a little longer, we will be saved early tomorrow morning at the latest." Manithaya pinned his hopes on reinforcements.
"We've been trapped for so many days without seeing a sign of reinforcements, I'm afraid they've all been wiped out." Hatta said with great confidence.
"Hurry up and go to Qingguan City for help, otherwise you and I will only have a dead end, and there will be no way out at all." Manitas shouted.
At this moment, the soldiers defending the city ran in panic and shouted: "Oh no------ it's not good, the copper city can't stand it, and the city wall is about to be broken by fire and thunder."
"At this time, it is important to preserve strength, and the general should not be rash." Ataye, a close confidant of Manitaya, persuaded.
While Manithaya was still hesitating, Hatta proposed, "Either the general leads a group of men and horses to withdraw first, and I will break the rear behind."
"General, let's withdraw!" Attaye also persuaded beside him.
A terrible wolf howl made the soldiers present tremble, as if calling their hearts, urging them to retreat quickly.
"General, retreat!" All the lieutenants shouted in unison.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the generals, although they knew in their hearts that it would be more difficult to recapture Tongcheng after this withdrawal than to ascend to the sky, and the decision to withdraw was very difficult, but it was still down.
Manithaya ordered: "Hatta, Ataye, you lead the main army to withdraw from the north gate first, and I will lead a group of men and horses to break off."
The order to retreat was given very suddenly, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city wall did not receive any notice to retreat at all, and the support behind them retreated.
The little soldiers with organic spirits, seeing that the situation was not right, retreated while fighting, and those who were willing to stick to the martyrdom sought perfection.
I had already explained to the mini-black before the siege, as long as there are those who are willing to retreat, leave them a way to live, and don't do things desperately. In this way, Manithaya and others withdrew quite easily, and the defenders of more than 10,000 people withdrew more than 6,000 people.
When Manitas led his army out of Bakhana, the hordes of hungry wolves in the Bronze City were holding their heads high and wagging their victorious tails and roaring. They marched in and out in an orderly manner searching for the coalition forces that had slipped through the net. If they are caught, they will not bite, and as long as they do not resist, they will not be injured.
The successive victories made Anxi Du Hu Lu Xiu take a fancy to the wolf soldiers of the mini black, and he asked tentatively:
"You wolf soldiers are really a sharp weapon, I wonder if you can even me some?"
I thought about it for a moment and said, "They eat a little too much, and they develop very quickly."
"It's fine, as long as they're willing to stay here, there's enough beef and mutton."
Anxi Du Hu Lu Xiu is a smart man, and when you listen to my tone, you will understand: there is a way for this.
I took the opportunity to throw off the burden and said: "I brought more than 10,000 wolf soldiers this time, you can leave 9,000, and the development of the wolf pack in the future depends on you to plan."
"Okay, when I was cleaning up the battlefield, I got a lot of gold, silver and jewelry looted by the coalition forces, which one do you like, just ask me."
After Lu Xiu finished speaking, he instructed the attendant to open all the jewelry boxes in his tent for me to choose.
There were a lot of things, and they were dazzling, but I didn't like them all, and I picked out a disc stained with soot, a ball that was black like a briquette, and a branch that they threw into the corner.
"You don't have to save me money, these are the things I am going to throw away, you still have to pick some gold, silver and jewelry to be more affordable." Lu Xiu kindly reminded me.
"I don't need gold, silver or jewelry, I just want to keep these as a souvenir." I said with a smile.
Seeing that I took these inconspicuous things, Lu Xiu felt a little reluctant in his heart, thought about it and said: "If you like this kind of thing, I still have a painting, which I brought over with General Manitaya's mansion when I copied it, and I will give it to you together."
"Good!
I promised.
I have little contact with people in the fairy world, and I don't know much about some refining materials, but I can sense that there is a strong immortal power attached to those few inconspicuous things, and when I hear that there is also a painting, I immediately think in my heart whether it will be something like a painting.
Sure enough, as soon as I took the painting, I felt a majestic immortal power hidden in it from a long distance.
When I took the scroll, I didn't open it, but put it away as if I was very casual.
"Don't you look at what the painting is?" Lu Xiu asked.
"No, I like to collect some weird things and go home and study them slowly." I said with a smile.
Of the four cities, three were recovered in a few days, and I didn't follow the remaining one, but left the wolves behind and returned to the imperial city with the mini black Su Tong and the elite of a thousand wolves.
When we returned to the palace, Yang Yuhuan had already come out of the full moon and moved into the Hall of Eternal Life.
Yang Yuhuan's decision to move to the Palace of Eternal Life was decided by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Gao Lishi through consultation.
"Yuhuan will move back to the palace when the full moon is out." Tang Xuanzong said with a heavy heart.
"Okay, the minister thinks that as long as he has a blessing in his heart, he can pray for blessings wherever he goes." Colliers replied respectfully.
"It's still a wrestler who knows my mind, I'm really afraid of losing the jade ring again, if it wasn't for the gods and dreams and me last time, I'm afraid I'll never see the jade ring again." Tang Xuanzong said with affection.
"Daoist Taizhen is a blessed man." Colliers complimented.
