"What did you forget?" Xi Junmai followed Li Dongsheng's gaze and looked over: "Isn't it Kong Ming Lantern, the people in the city died, it is estimated that his family members summoned his spirits." That's the custom here. ”

Turning his head, he saw Li Dongsheng hurriedly descending from the city tower: "Now you are in charge of the defense of the city, and I have something important to do." ”

Xi Junmai scratched his head, he didn't know what kind of madness Li Dongsheng was doing, he looked at the enemy camp in the distance and sighed: "When can I go and destroy them!" ”

After returning to the county office, Li Dongsheng asked the officials to find the craftsmen in Gaochang City, all carpenters, blacksmiths, and tailors. The official took the order and left, still muttering in his heart what he wanted the craftsman to do at this time.

It didn't take long for the officials to bring more than a dozen people into the county office. Seeing that Li Dongsheng couldn't help but kneel, Li Dongsheng waved them to stand up and said, "Come over and see if this thing can be made?" ”

It was estimated that it was the first time for a dozen people to see such a big official, and they trembled together, leaning their heads on their heads, looking at the many pieces of paper on the table with various patterns, some of which were painted with drop-shaped wooden skeletons, some of which were painted with thick cloths of the same shape, and some of which were wooden baskets, round stoves, and strange-looking bellows.

A blacksmith plucked up his courage and said, "My lord, my subordinates can't read it, but I can make a stove." ”

Li Dongsheng said with a smile: "This is a exploded view, you see that there is a final assembly map at the end." ”

Everyone turned to the last look, and the blacksmith said, "This is a large Kong Ming lantern?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Dongsheng smiled: "It seems that there are still people who understand." Is it difficult to make it? How long does it take to make it? ”

The blacksmith probably had seen the world, and looked at a group of craftsmen like little quails and said, "You can do it, I don't know what other requirements the adults have!" ”

Li Dongsheng said solemnly: "There is only one requirement, that is, all the parts must be strong!" ”

"Sturdy?" The blacksmith nodded and said, "Okay, I don't know when the adults will start building, and how will the materials come from?" ”

Li Dongsheng said: "It's a secret to make this thing, you go home now to get the tools, all the materials are provided by me, you have to be closed during the production period, and you can only go home after the war, and this matter is absolutely not allowed to be told to others, right?" And the most important thing is not to cut corners and to ensure safety. ”

A group of craftsmen nodded, it was not okay if they didn't agree, since they saw this thing here, it was equivalent to getting on the boat and not getting off. The soldiers of the firearms battalion took them home to get their things, and Li Dongsheng asked them to vacate the backyard of the county government to make a space for them. Daniel Zhang asked curiously, "Young Master, why are you making such a big Kong Ming lantern?" ”

"What? Oh my God! Would you like to go up and try it? Li Dongsheng smiled: "If you go up, you will be the first person in the world to fly to the sky?" To go down in history! ”

"Heavenly?" Daniel Zhang was taken aback: "Just do this heaven?" How can it be?.... No, Kong Ming Lantern can carry small things to the sky, this is so big that it can really take people to the sky,,,, hehe, go to heaven. How do I get down? ”

"Hahaha, of course there is a way to get down. Let's just say if you want to go on or not, right? ”

"I think about it, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to get down, and if this one is broken, I will fall to death!"

"Sambu, we listened to your call to attack the city, and now it's going to be a month, do you have an idea? It's just like this every day, and the reinforcements of the Tang Army are about to arrive! "The Turkic general Yibi Ahun has been in a hurry, so many people have died in so many days, but there is no effect at all, the soldiers below have long been dissatisfied, and there is no military rations, and they have killed hundreds of horses as military rations.

"We are the same, the soldiers can't eat, we have eaten up all the food for a hundred miles around, and if we can't fight again, we will starve to death. You were confident that you could take it in three days at most, but now it's a month. Your Tibetan soldiers have no casualties, our people have died the most, you have to give an explanation! "The commander of the Western Regions Alliance, Reyagi, has also begun to force the palace, and they are almost unable to suppress the people below.

Sambu said with a gloomy face: "You are still embarrassed to say, just look at what kind of battles your people fight every day, it is just like playing, I didn't say it, you still come to me." ”

"You can't say that, you go and see how many of our people have died? How many of you Tibetans died? Now it's not right for us, don't forget that we are a coalition army, you are not too emperor! "Everyone is a general, no one is afraid of anyone, seeing that Sambu still blames himself, Ebi Ahun pulled out all his swords, and his guards followed suit, and pulled out all their swords.

Sambu's guards were not to be outdone, and they all took a step forward and drew their swords against each other, and the people on both sides looked at each other angrily, and the commander of the Western Regions Alliance, Reyagi, hurriedly came out to play a round: "At this time, don't be rash." Let's think about how to take Gaochang City before the Tang army reinforcements come, otherwise it will really end badly. ”

The people on both sides retreated at the signal of their respective generals. Sang Bu said: "After so many days of slackness, it is estimated that the Tang army will not have a big defense tomorrow, now there is only one way, then launch a general attack, regardless of casualties, regardless of the cost, as long as we take Gaochang, we will have the capital to bargain with the Tang Dynasty, now we have no way out, only to join hands to defeat Gaochang City, you don't want to have any influence of retaining strength, as soon as the Tang reinforcements arrive, we will all die under the city." ”

"My lord, my lord, it's not good, the reinforcements of the Tang army are already a hundred miles away, the number is about 20,000, all of them are cavalry, it is estimated that they will be able to reach Gaochang City in two days! Their scouts have already fought us! At this time, the scout hurriedly came over to report the latest military situation.

The three giants of the coalition army looked ugly, everyone's eyes looked at Sambu, and he muttered for a while: "Go back and prepare, tell our warriors the news that the reinforcements of the Tang Army have arrived, and tell them that if they can't enter the city tomorrow, then everyone will never go home." ”

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the coalition forces poured out of their nests, formed a formation in the open space outside the city, and prepared to attack the city. Xi Junmai was startled when he went to see the enemy's movement at the arrow battlement after being shouted by the soldiers on the night watch: "Hurry up and call everyone up, the enemy is ready to play with his life!" ”

In the past, the enemy used thousands of people to attack the city, but today there are at least 5,000 people in this formation, and at the same time, the people in the firearms battalion must be in a hurry, and the momentum of these people is not the same as that of the previous few days, and there is the murderous atmosphere when they started to attack the city. He had a strong premonition that today was the most difficult battle in Gaochang City, and the outcome would be known today.

But I haven't seen Li Dongsheng in the past few days, where did my Hou Ye go?
