Chapter 378: Blood and Fire (II)

"The people in the city listen, Yao Wangshu, the official of Hezhou, has invited Cheng to come out to speak, and this official has an important military situation to tell him." Yao Wangshu, surrounded by eight guards, walked to a distance of more than thirty steps away from the city in fear, and saw that the city had never released arrows to attack, so he felt a little calmer, stretched out his hand and brushed his messy long beard, faked a cough, and held the shelf of a state assassin, and snorted reservedly.

"Master Cheng, you are the lord of a state, so you don't have to deal with such villains, so you can leave it to Zhuang to deal with it." Although Zhuang Mingyi was not very proficient in military strategy, he also knew what the loss of Hezhou meant, so he peeked at Cheng Hedong Tieqing's face, sighed secretly, and suggested carefully.

"No need, it's better to listen to what this guy has to say."

After Cheng Hedong pondered for a while, he still shook his hand and refused Zhuang Mingyi's proposal, but just made a "kill" gesture to several guards who followed behind him before walking to the city saucer.

"Master Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here to be harmed, right?"

As soon as Yao Wangshu saw Cheng Hedong poking his head out of the city saucer, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he bowed with a smile.

"Who are you, and why are you barking under the city, huh?"

Both of them are serving in Hexi, and the jurisdictions are not far apart, Cheng Hedong has dealt with Yao Wangshu a few times, but he is not too familiar, at this time, when he saw Yao Wangshu dragging the text there, Cheng Hedong was crooked enough in his heart, and he didn't bother to give him face, so he unceremoniously reprimanded.

"You ......" Yao Wangshu has always relied on his background as a jinshi, and looked down on the history of the buns in the surrounding states, especially the history of Cheng Hedong, a military general, who was born in the history of assassins, and when they met in the past, they always changed their ways to ridicule a few words, begging for some tongues, and at this time they were coldly scolded by Cheng Hedong like this, and his face immediately couldn't hang up, and when he was about to have a seizure, he suddenly remembered his current identity, and he was angry when he was angry, but he glared at Cheng Hedong with a black face, gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Cheng is still the same, This is all a stab at history, and I don't take the time to read a few more books, tsk, how can I be a gentleman without words. ”

"Er, this rebellious book has been read in the dog's belly, and he is also worthy of talking to Cheng Mou about the way of a gentleman? Don't talk nonsense, let it go if you have a fart! How could Cheng Hedong have the heart to be close to a traitor like Yao Wangshu, so he glared at the leopard's eyes, and his voice broke off like thunder.

"Hmph, what a vulgar person, Yao is not as knowledgeable as Er, listen well, the prime minister has something to say, now Hezhou has fallen, Shanzhou has become a lonely city, there is no hope for reinforcements, if you can descend early, you will be generous, if not, when there is a disaster of jade burning, in addition, my family has already arranged a clever strategy, if the king dares to come, my family will take advantage of Lanzhou undoubtedly, you will not wait for the early surrender to wait for ......"

Being insulted by Cheng Hedong in public, Yao Wangshu was so angry that he trembled, but Cheng Hedong couldn't help it, so he could only pretend not to hear Cheng Hedong's rude words, raise his voice, and roar to relay Gar Qinling's explanation.

"Shoot!"

Cheng Hedong didn't believe Yao Wangshu's words at all, and when he saw that several of his guards had moved in place, he didn't hesitate to break off.

"Whoosh, whoosh......"

Several of Cheng Hedong's guards are masters of archery, as soon as they heard that Cheng Hedong's general had given the order, they didn't dare to slack off, Huo Ran stood up, each opened his bow and set up an arrow, aiming at Yao Wangshu and letting go, but listening to the sound of strings, five feather arrows cut through the space like a rainbow flying out of the sky, and only a few feet in front of Yao Wangshu was shot in front of Yao Wangshu.

"Bell, bell......"

Before Yao Wangshu could understand what was going on, he saw three of the eight cavalrymen guarding Yao Wangshu jumping up from their horses, their swords flickering and forming a piece, and they slammed all five feather arrows aside.

"Oops!"

Yao Wangshu was a brave man, until the feather arrow was knocked open, then he came to his senses, how could he have the courage to stay in such a dangerous place again, exclaimed, turned around and fled towards the main formation, how embarrassed he was.

"Hahaha...... traitor, go back and tell your master, if you want to attack, you will attack, these tricks are boring!"

As soon as he saw that the guards were so skilled, Cheng Hedong's eyes couldn't help but be stunned, but he never wanted to let go of such a great opportunity to hit the morale of the other party, so he laughed and ridiculed Gar Qinling, the arrogance in his words can be said to be very tight, and all the defenders were infected and laughed, and the morale that was originally slightly low rose in this commotion.

"The prime minister, the lower official, the lower official......"

Yao Wangshu fled back to his own camp in despair, and when he saw Gar Qinling's indifferent face, he couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to explain it inarticulately, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

"Lord Yao has been wronged, this prime minister will definitely make the decision for you, come on, please ask Lord Yao to rest in the big tent of the Chinese army!"

Although Gar Qinling looked down on Yao Wangshu from his heart, but in order to employ people, Gar Qinling would not give Yao Wangshu a look, so he gently appeased, and escorted Yao Wangshu back to the camp in the west with the guards around him, and then waved his hand with a cold face, and ordered loudly: "Order: Attack from all sides, kill those who go to the city first, advance to the third level, and reward 100 cattle, sheep and horses!" ”

"Woo, woo......"

As soon as Gar Qinling rewarded the order, the poignant horn sounded, and the Tubo army, which was originally just lined up outside the western city, immediately moved when they heard the sound, and quickly launched a formation, encircling Shanzhou City from the west, north and south, and together with the east, they launched a fierce and abnormal attack on the city, and the war was already white-hot at the beginning......

The end has passed, the sun has long been westward, but the fierce battle at the head of the city of Caohan is still continuing, the clay pot ** has long been exhausted, the wood rolling stone has been consumed, that is, even the arrows are few, and the impact of the Tubo army has never stopped, but wave after wave, to this point, the officers and soldiers defending the city can only rely on flesh and blood to fight desperately, the city defense is in danger everywhere, if it is not for the "Deng Ji Firm" A group of strong martial arts guards everywhere to make up for the leaks, I am afraid that the city defense has already been broken, but even so, With the passage of the war, the casualties of the first officers and soldiers and even the people who assisted in defending it have been more than half, and the city defense has reached a crumbling point, but up to Zhang Mingwu, Li Yaodong, down to the ordinary soldiers and people have no intention of retreating, and they are still desperately fighting on the head of the city, and it is extremely difficult to resist the strong attack of the Tubo army!

"Brother Wang, be careful!"

The burly and sturdy Wang Tong is the second only master in the city after Li Yaodong, a meteor hammer is suitable for attacking and defending from afar, and the end is extremely powerful, just one person firmly guarded the boss of a section of the city wall, and the Tubo officers and soldiers who dared to emerge from his eyes were all hit down the city by a heavy hammer, a vicious fight down, the Tubo warriors who died in his hands did not know how many, but when the manpower was poor, even if Wang Tong's physical strength was outstanding, after fighting for nearly three hours, he was so tired that he could hardly move the hammer, a negligence, was bullied by a Tubo brave man who suddenly rushed to the head of the city, and in the face of a knife that came over in a hurry, Wang Tong, who had more than enough strength and insufficient strength, was too late to dodge the action, and was in danger, but when he heard a shout sounding on the side, a figure suddenly flashed out, and he used his body to block the knife that the Tubo brave slashed over.

"Little Five! Ah......, Lao Tzu killed you! ”

Wang Tong had already thought that he would die, and this saw that Liu Wu, the most kind caravan guard on weekdays, blocked a killer knife for himself, but Liu Wu himself was cut into two by a knife, his heart hurt, his eyes were split, he roared, dropped the meteor hammer, grabbed it with both hands, and raised it in the future, and threw it suddenly, and threw it off the city.

"You all deserve to die, kill, kill, kill!"

In the face of the tragic death of his friend, Wang Tong roared like a mad tiger, hooked his feet, picked up the meteor hammer on the ground, dragged his hands, and grabbed the hammer chain, and strode to the edge of the city, with both hands, the meteor hammer whistled and swept down the wall, but after listening to a few muffled sounds, the three ladders not far away were all swept into two, and the Tubo officers and soldiers on the ladder fell down the city like dumplings.

"Whoosh, whoosh......"

Under Wang Tong's frenzy, the results of the battle were extraordinary, but he himself was also exposed to the sight of the Tubo cavalry, but after listening to the sound of strings, more than a dozen feather arrows shot at the head of the city like flying locusts, and Wang Tong, who could not avoid it, was hit by four arrows on the spot, and his burly body fell into a pool of blood at the head of the city like pushing a golden mountain and a jade pillar.

"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements? Reinforcements ......"

Wang Tong struggled to stand up again, but under the heavy injury, there was no trace of strength, so he could only lie helplessly in a pool of blood, open his eyes angrily, muttered a few words, tilted his head, and the person was soft on the ground without knowing whether he was alive or dead......

"Brother Li, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Not only Wang Tong was looking forward to reinforcements, but Zhang Mingwu, who had just killed two Tubo soldiers, was also anxiously looking forward to reinforcements.

"Kill! We are born as a Tang Dynasty, and we are a Tang ghost when we die, and if reinforcements do not arrive, we will only fight our ears, and death will be counted! ”

Li Yaodong didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive, but he knew that before the reinforcements arrived, the city would not be able to be saved, but he didn't have the slightest timidity, roared, slashed out several knives, and killed the two Tubo soldiers who were fighting head-on with him on the spot, and then bravely killed the enemy troops who were pouring into the city one after another.

"Brother Li said it well, life is a Tang Dynasty, death is a Tang ghost, death is death, kill a happy kill! Brothers, kill, kill! ”

Zhang Mingwu also understood that the reinforcements were afraid that he would not be able to look forward to it, and when he saw that Li Yaodong was playing with his life, the pride in his heart immediately surged, and he echoed with laughter, waved his knife and rushed forward, fighting side by side with Li Yaodong, and the Tubo officers and soldiers who rushed to the city retreated one after another......
