Chapter 508: Under the City of Qiuzi
When the morning sun shines on the weather-beaten ancient city of Qiuzi.
The people of Qiuzi Country, who had been frightened all night, spontaneously prepared food for the soldiers on the city wall, as well as stones and other items used to defend the city.
Many of them know that this is futile, but they really don't want to be slaves, they want to keep their homeland, and if they can't keep it, they will die here.
Because they all know that if they become people without a country, even if they can survive, they will be a group of lonely ghosts who recognize people and bully them.
When Natalia came out of the palace and walked towards the city walls, many people saw this maiden, possibly the last queen, and everyone saluted reverently and respectfully.
Seeing this scene, Natalia walked more firmly, and when she walked up the city wall, all the soldiers saluted Natalia with respect.
But Natalia didn't speak, but stood on the city wall and looked at the Tang army camp in the distance, as well as the Tang army coming one after another.
Looking at the dust raised in the distance from time to time and the flags flying in the wind, Natalia's heart became a little heavier.
"Your Majesty, you really should have listened to me yesterday, but now it's too late to say anything, the Tang army has besieged the city, and it's impossible to leave" Kurzai, who came in a hurry at this time, looked at Natalia with a tired face, and said to her helplessly.
"Since you can't go, let's fight to the death! Soldiers, the Tang people don't give us a way to live, even if we give up our homeland, we will only be a group of rootless duckweed, in this case, then let the Tang people see, my warriors of Qiuzi are all good, they want to capture Qiuzi, we are dead, and we have to bite off a piece of their flesh" In the face of Kurzai's complaints, Natalia burst out with infinite pride, as a woman, standing on the city wall against the soldiers on the city wall, and the people in the city shouted loudly.
"Fight to the Death"
"Fight to the Death"
"Fight to the Death"
Hearing Natalia's words, the 50,000 civilians and soldiers who remained in the city at this time burst out with infinite fighting spirit.
In the wolf guard camp in the distance, countless wolf guard soldiers also heard the sound from the small city in the distance, and they all walked out of the camp tent curiously and looked at the small city in the distance.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, can you be sure that the queen of this Qiuzi country is really the princess of Qin, if you can't be sure, it's better to attack the city as soon as possible, although it is beneficial to us to consume, but you must also know that this time does not wait for anyone, we must sweep the countries of the Western Regions before winter, otherwise it will snow heavily, the battle line and logistics will be too long, and the battle behind will be difficult to fight" Li Yu looked at Li You in front of him and asked, and also analyzed the situation for him, and at the same time taught him.
"British Duke, I can guarantee this, I will never be mistaken, in fact, it doesn't take much to take this small city, when they shrank their forces at the beginning and defend the city with all their might, they have already lost, so after my fourth brother confirms, if not, it is very simple to take this small city, do you say no" Li You first assured Li Yu that he was not mistaken, and then analyzed the current situation.
"That's the only way, I don't know why His Royal Highness the King of Qin has repeatedly insisted on not surrendering, if His Royal Highness the King of Qin doesn't insist so much, maybe these many small countries in the Western Regions will no longer insist after Gaochang is destroyed" After listening to Li You's words, Li Yu also agreed with Li You's analysis, and at the same time he was also a little puzzled by Li Tai's order, but because Li Tai had the warrants of Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, he had to listen.
Li Youzhi on the side somewhat understood what was going on, but he couldn't say it now, saying it would affect the morale of the army too much, after all, the main general of one side was still a personal guard, for the sake of a woman, regardless of the lives of his soldiers, this would affect Li Tai's reputation to some extent, and it would also shake the morale of the army.
At this time, after a night of wild running, Li Tai, who finally arrived not far from Qiuzi City, rode on a horse, and saw Natalia on the city wall at a glance, looking at her in a red Tang costume.
Li Tai was stunned, he remembered that once when he and Natalia had a heart-to-heart conversation, she said that when I put on a big red Tang costume, that was when I married you, and Li Tai always remembered it.
"It's her, it's Leah, it's really Leah" After Li Tai confirmed with a clairvoyant mirror, the whole person seemed to be crazy, shouting while frantically beating his horse and rushing under the city wall.
Seeing Li Tai rushing over like this, Li Tai's personal guards and the secret guards who were responsible for protecting Li Tai also hurriedly chased after him.
Li Tai's sudden appearance not only attracted the attention of the soldiers of the Guizi Kingdom on the city wall, but also attracted the attention of the soldiers on duty in the wolf guard camp, especially looking at the countless dusty golden gongs behind Li Tai, worried that there would be an unexpected sentry ringing.
As soon as the golden gong sounded, all the wolf guards gathered at the first time, but when they gathered, what they saw was that a general wearing the armor of the Tang Army was riding a horse and running quickly under the city wall of Qiuzi Kingdom, followed by hundreds of horsemen.
Just when countless soldiers didn't know what was happening, Li Tai's war horse hooves were lame and fell straight forward, and Li Tai, who was riding on the horse, was also thrown out of the way, which made the guards behind him feel tight.
"Your Highness, are you alright? Your Highness, you are injured, the minister will take you to the camp and ask the military medical officer to bandage you" Li Tai's personal guard commander rushed to the place where Li Tai was fallen, hurriedly helped Li Tai, and asked anxiously.
"Get out of the way, don't stand in the way of this king, and don't come along" Facing the concern of his own personal guards, Li Tai pushed away and yelled at him and those personal guards behind him.
After that, Li Tai didn't care about the blood flowing from his face because of the broken forehead, but limped slowly and walked under the city wall.
Seeing this scene, both the Tang Army and the soldiers of the Qiuzi Kingdom in the city were stunned, wondering what was going on with this person.
Only Natalia stared at the person who was limping slowly in front of her, and the familiar figure made her cover her mouth, she couldn't believe it was real.
"Leah, it's me, I'm the green finch, are you on top? Why did you leave me in the first place?" Li Tai shouted to Natalia on the city wall as he came to the city wall, and took off the helmet on his head.
Seeing that it was really Li Tai, and that the whole person was emaciated, and the bright red blood on her face after taking off her helmet, Natalia couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
At the same time, he found out that the person who came was Li Tai's Kurzai, and quickly ordered the soldiers to put away their weapons so as not to hurt Li Tai.
"Leah, why don't you speak, do you know, I was looking for you so hard, why did you leave without saying a word at the time, what's the matter, you can tell me, I will carry it with you, why did you leave me so ruthlessly" Li Tai looked at Natalia with tears streaming down the city wall, Li Tai asked her with tears in his eyes, his eyes were full of longing.
But Li Tai was not lightly injured before, and his body was also exhausted from running around all night, and after he finished speaking to Natalia, his body was a little unable to support it, and then he shook his body and knelt on one knee, but even so, he still looked up at Natalia.
