"I'm going back!"

After listening to Wang Hu's account of the cause and effect, Bai Qiaoqiao immediately said decisively.

"No!" When Wang Hu heard this, he hurriedly said: "The Turks are about to attack the city, and there is a danger lurking outside the city of Dingxiang. If you go back now, it will be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. Li Mu entrusted me to send you and the old lady to Chang'an, just to get you out of danger, so that he can feel at ease and deal with the war with all his might, if you go back now, what else can you do besides distract him? Don't let down Li Mu's heart! ”

"Brother Wang, I know I can't do anything." When Bai Qiaoqiao spoke, tears rippled and he said, "I can't pull the bow, I can't lift the knife, and I can't kill the enemy." But I am his wife, and he is now in danger, and if I don't know, how can I escape and ignore him, if I know? I can't do anything, but I can accompany him, he lives, I live, he dies, I die. Anyway, if he dies, I don't want to live. ”

Wang Hu was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "How can you have such an idea, confused!" Li Mu is leaving, he knows what he is going to face, entrusting you and the old lady to me, it is exactly what he thinks in his heart, how can it be said that you ignore him? Besides, you don't want to think about it, if Li Mu has three longs and two shorts, and you go with him again, who will support his old mother for him? ”

"Didn't you say that Lord Tang Jian promised Lang Jun that he would take care of his family? I also heard Lang Jun say about this matter, when he escaped from the camp to deliver the letter, Lord Tang Jian promised him that if there was an accident, 'your mother, I will raise it', I believe that Lord Tang Jian must be a person of faith, Brother Wang doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I must go back, if you don't send me back, I will go back! ”

As he spoke, Bai Qiaoqiao raised his legs and was about to leave. Wang Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll have someone send you back! ”

Bai Qiaoqiao stood still and looked back at Wang Hu. Wang Hu had tears in his eyes and said, "Are you forcing me, don't you want to go back?" If it weren't for the purpose of sending Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to Chang'an, I would have gone back a long time ago! Both sides are big things, and they can't be delayed, so how do I choose! Qiaoqiao, don't blame me, now there are only ten convoy guards, I will send two people to send you back to Mayi, and then they have to come back, you listen to me, just wait in Mayi, don't get close to Dingxiang City, if you are captured, let Li Mu throw a rat trap! ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang!"

Wang Hu took out the silver given by Li Mu from his arms, handed it to Bai Qiaoqiao, and said: "This is the money left by Li Mu, Qiaoqiao sister, you listen to Brother Wang's advice, if Li Mu really encounters an accident, don't do anything stupid." ”

Bai Qiaoqiao took the money bag in his hand, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly there was joy in his eyes: "Brother Wang, did Lang Jun ask you to give me all this money?" ”

Wang Hu nodded, Bai Qiaoqiao clutched the money bag tightly, and said, "Great! With this money, perhaps...... Lang Jun is saved! ”

Outside the city of Dingxiang, the sun sets.

"Uh......h Buzz ......"

The long horn sounded, and the Turkic soldiers besieging the city retreated like a tidal wave. The afternoon of fierce battles finally came to an end. After this battle, it is certain that the Turks were indeed not good at attacking cities. Although they were not afraid of death, they did not have siege equipment, and secondly, they did not know siege tactics, and in an afternoon, there were already a lot of corpses piled up under the city, and on the side of the city, only more than 20 people were injured and six people died.

Such a big victory, thanks to the thistle and iron thorn set up by Li Mu, several times the flying claws did not have time to cut off, and the Turks saw that they were about to climb up to the city, but they didn't want to grab the thistle terrestris and puncture their palms, and fell down from the city with a scream. There were also bricks and stones from the demolition of the houses, all of which came in handy, and those craftsmen who did not know how to use bows and arrows could pick up and turn their heads and smash them, whether they hit the head or the body, they could knock the Turks off the ropes.

In contrast, the only thing the Turks could inflict damage was their bows and arrows. Princess Yicheng didn't think about dividing the troops, but with the experience of Ximen and Li Mu's timely arrival to command, there was no breakthrough in the other gates. On the contrary, the pressure on Ximen plummeted, and Simen was like four meat grinders, strangling the lives of the Turkic soldiers at a faster speed. Seeing that the division of troops had no effect, Princess Yicheng specialized in the west gate again, trying to pile down the city with human life, and the flying claws under the city flew up whizzing, and then were cut off by the young men who defended the city. Most of the casualties on the defending side of the city were at this time.

Finally, when the sun was about to set, the Turks could not stand this suicidal siege tactic, and their momentum declined. Seeing this, Li Mu took the lead, rushed in front and picked up the bricks and stones, and smashed them, even ignoring the arrows, and smashed the bricks down, and the others saw this, and they all followed suit like crazy, and the flying claws of the Turks didn't work, and before they could climb a few steps, they were smashed down, and then more bricks and stones were smashed down, turning into a puddle of meat and mud. The Turks were so frightened by this momentum that they hesitated and did not dare to step forward. Princess Yicheng was helpless, so Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Seeing the enemy retreating, cheers rang out from the city. Li Mu sat down against the wall, he didn't have any strength now. At that moment just now, he didn't know how many bricks he had dropped, he knew that he had this ability, and he was not a programmer in his previous life, and he could buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou when he moved bricks.

Li Siwen collapsed to the ground, breathing in a big gulp, and was about to speak, when he suddenly vomited. Li Mu looked at him strangely, Li Siwen pointed forward, retched, "There's a hand there!" ”

Li Mu looked over, and sure enough, there was a broken hand, and his stomach churned. I don't know which unlucky guy was pierced by an iron thorn in his palm, hung there, and was stabbed again, and his arm was cut off.

"I've killed so many people, I'm afraid of a fart with a broken hand." Li Mu said indifferently, and when he finished speaking, he also vomited together. Raise your eyes and look around, there are not a few people who vomit, most of the people here are craftsmen from neighboring counties, honest and responsible people, who has killed people. I didn't have time to think about these things when I was fighting just now, but now that the war is interrupted, after the joy has passed, I look around, there are residual value broken walls everywhere, the smell of blood is permeated, and there are really few people who can hold on without throwing up.

Finally vomited up all the food he ate at noon, Li Siwen picked up the water bladder on the ground, drank saliva and rinsed his mouth, and said, "Li Mu, are we winning the war?" ”

"Win?" Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Where is this, the Turks have died less than three hundred people, and their vitality is not injured, I see that Princess Yicheng is bound to win, I am afraid that she will not retreat, but when the morale is declining, Ming Jin withdrew the troops." Let's look at tonight, after surviving tonight, we can see some clues. ”

Li Siwen sighed: "Why hasn't my father come yet!" ”

These words also said what Li Mu thought in his heart, according to the distance, Li Ji's reinforcements should have arrived, but there is no shadow yet. After a long time, he slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Maybe it's a delay, don't think about it, let's take care of the present!" ”
