"Big talk!" Hatred Water reminded, "Our people are all cavalry, and they are not good at attacking cities, since they can't attract Wang Xiaojie, why do they have to spend so much money here?" ”

There is no need to beat the drum hard, Qinling is called the "God of the Army", how can it be a straw bale, and the words of hatred of the water suddenly woke him up.

Yes, as the commander of the army, you should judge the situation, and you should not blindly vomit.

Thinking of this, Qin Ling couldn't help but regret it a little. If it weren't for Zampu's pressing step by step, he wouldn't have been so messed up.

"Thank you, sir, for the reminder!" Qin Ling stood up and bowed deeply to the waters of hatred.

Thanks to the reminder of the hatred water, otherwise Qin Ling would have gotten into the tip of the horns, and I don't know how long it would take to come out.

"Dazhuo, you're welcome!" Hatred Water quickly got up and supported Qin Ling.

The two sat down again, and Qin Ling asked the hated water for advice, "Sir, as you can see, what should we do next?" ”

Hatred Shui pondered: "The reason why Wang Xiaojie didn't appear shows that Taozhou City and Lu Xiaoxian are not enough in his mind!" If you want to force Wang Xiaojie out, you have to increase the chips so that he has to come out! ”

Listening to the words of hatred water, Qin Ling's eyes couldn't help but light up: "What does Mr. mean ......"

"Liangzhou City!" The water of hatred gently spat out three words.

Liangzhou, an important town, is located at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor, with the reputation of "the ancient capital of Siliang and the metropolis of Hexi" in history, and has been a military strategic place of "connecting the first line in the desert and controlling the throat of the five counties" since ancient times. It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that "if you want to protect Qinlong, you must consolidate Hexi, and if you want to consolidate Hexi, you must rebuke the Western Regions".

The strategic position of Liangzhou is too important, if Tubo controls Liangzhou, it can not only cut off the connection between the Great Zhou and the Western Regions, but also direct the army to Chang'an, Xijing. If it forms a military alliance with the Turkic and Hui forces in the north, and connects the territories together, it will pose a great threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the northwest frontier defense will face a collapse.

Hate Shui is right, if the Tubo army is directed at Liangzhou, how dare Wang Xiaojie not save it?

Even if Wang Xiaojie didn't want to save him, the Great Zhou Emperor would force him to save it.

Thinking of this, Qin Ling's face was again

It also shows the self-confidence of the past.

……

In the hall of the Thorn Mansion of Taozhou City, all the generals who defended the city gathered here.

Originally, the master of defending the city would be Zhao Lang, but now that it was the most critical time, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't care so much, and took over the command unceremoniously.

Lu Xiaoxian looked around at the generals in the hall, and said firmly and majestically: "Everyone, breaking the enemy and breaking the siege is only tonight, tonight we will go out of the city with all our strength and fight to the death with the Tubo people!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone, including Zhao Lang and Guo Qin, didn't expect that Lu Xiaoxian would say such a thing.

The Tubo army stormed the city of Taozhou every day, and the soldiers and civilians in the city suffered heavy casualties, and now there are only more than 2,000 troops left in the city.

Zhao Lang has always been calm, and he knows that the reason why Lu Xiaoxian said this must have his reasons. Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, he asked Lu Xiaoxian on behalf of the generals, "Master Lu, can you tell me in more detail?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian didn't answer, but asked with a slight smile: "Generals, don't you think there is something wrong with the Tubo people in the past two days?" ”

The Tibetan army had not attacked the city for two days, but had only sent cavalry to shuttle back and forth around the city walls. They did not attack, and the defenders of the city took this rare opportunity to rest.

Is there a problem that the other side does not attack the city?

Seeing everyone's blank faces, Lu Xiaoxian said sonorously: "I dare to conclude that the Tubo army has left, and only a small group of people are left to contain us!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, how was this possible?

Zhao Lang said with a solemn expression: "Master Lu, how can you be so sure?" If this is a trap, aren't we falling into the trap of the Tibetans? ”

"Even if it's a trap, we'll have to give it a try!" Lu Xiaoxian asked rhetorically, "Judging from the current situation, if the Tubo people continue to attack, Taozhou will hold on for three more days at most, and it is better to fight a decisive battle outside the city than to be broken!" What's more, I am completely sure that the Tibetan army has left, and the chance of us going out of the city to fight is more than eighty percent. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian paused and said confidently: "Qin."

The reason why Ling stormed Taozhou City was to lure the general manager out of the city to fight to the death. Since his purpose has been achieved, of course he will not stay here anymore! ”

Guo Qin asked, "Young Master Lu, then in your opinion, where did Qinling's army go?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "I don't know!" Maybe it's going to find the general manager of the king, or maybe it's going to attack other cities! In short, after tonight's battle, the siege of Taozhou City will be completely lifted! ”

Zhao Lang was worried about Wang Xiaojie in his heart, and he asked anxiously: "Master Lu, where is the general manager Wang?" ”

"Of course it's where it should be!" Lu Xiaoxian said meaningfully, "You can't think of the place he went, and you can't think of Qinling." Soon you'll find out, though! ”

In the past few days of defending the city, Lu Xiaoxian's actions have been obvious to everyone, and he is very convinced. Since Lu Xiaoxian is so confident, everything is under control, and others have nothing to say.

Zhao Lang hugged his fist to Lu Xiaoxian and said, "Master Lu, you just give the order, I will obey the order!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded, and directly issued the first order: "Tonight, all the soldiers and generals will go out of the city to kill the enemy, Guo Tingshi and the officials will take the people to inspect the city, and find the soldiers and sergeants, no matter how they kill!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian, who usually looks very kind, is so tough, the severity of the military order is unheard of, and even Zhao Lang, who is used to killing people on the battlefield, is shocked.

As soon as Lu Xiaoxi's words fell, Guo Qin suddenly got up and said, "Master Lu, I will arrange for Changshi and Sima to do the matter of patrolling the city." In tonight's battle, I will go out of the city with the soldiers to kill the enemy! ”

Lu Xiaoxian frowned, and was about to dissuade him, but saw Guo Qin get up and bow deeply to Lu Xiaoxian and said, "Please Lu Gongzi!" ”

Guo Qin's state of mind at the moment, of course Lu Xiaoxian could understand, he sighed and said, "Okay! I agreed, Guo Tingshi, please sit down! ”

Before the generals could catch their breath, Lu Xiaoxian's cold voice sounded again: "In this battle, all the generals, the knife will be bloody, the people will be injured, and the horse will be sweating, you must go all out to break the enemy with one blow, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Everyone was silent, but everyone's eyes were steadfast. They know that if they don't win this battle, they will die, and they will die!
