At this moment, in the face of the fall of more than 500 comrades who get along day and night, Rao is Zhang Mingwu has been in the army for many years, and he is used to seeing life and death, but he still can't help shedding sad tears, of course, sadness is sadness, as the chief general of the first army, Zhang Mingwu will not forget the burden on his shoulders, just lost his mind for a moment, Zhang Mingwu suddenly wiped the tears on his face, gritted his teeth and ordered: "The whole army listens to the order, Team C stays to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the teams immediately go down to the city to rest, no one disarmies, no soldiers leave their hands, disperse!"

"No!"

Despite the victory, but in the face of such high casualties, a group of ** officers and soldiers are really not happy, moreover, the enemy army has not been far away, the war has not yet come to see the time, the army has no reason to be happy, but, once Zhang Mingwu gave the order, the soldiers did not have the slightest slackness, each of them loudly agreed, except for the soldiers who left to clean the battlefield and some of the people who came to help spontaneously, the rest of the people retreated from the city wall in turn, did not go far, and sat on the side of the wall to rest.

"Lord Zhang, although the enemy army has temporarily retreated, it will definitely come back after going, although there are still some ** carried below, but once these things are exposed, it is difficult to surprise the miraculous effect, once the enemy army is prepared, it may be difficult to frighten the thieves, and now the plan must be prepared in advance."

Seeing Zhang Mingwu sad and tearful before, although Li Yaodong was also sad, he couldn't help but worry that Zhang Mingwu was patronizing and forgetting the rest.

"What Brother Li said is very true, now that Yao has abandoned the city, he also bothered Brother Li to work hard and organize the people in the city to help defend the city, as for the training, Zhang is duty-bound."

Although Zhang Ming's military attache position is not high, after all, he is an old man, and he knows that although the power of "**" is not small, it is not enough to rely on, if he wants to hold the city, there is no possibility at all with such a small number of troops now, and after a little thought, he made a decision.

"Li should serve himself, and in addition, he still has to go to His Royal Highness to communicate with him, and he will retire first, and all the guards of the business will be under the unified command of Lord Zhang."

It is not an easy task to gather the people, but Li Yaodong did not say anything, he accepted it in one bite, and after giving an explanation, he hurriedly walked down the city gate tower and walked towards the city......

The sky gradually brightened, Li Xian, who had hardly closed his eyes all night, rubbed his astringent eyelids, rubbed his face vigorously, stood up from the sand table, stretched his waist viciously, moved his arms a few times, raised his feet and walked out of the Chinese army's tent, looked at the sky in the east, took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, shook his head vigorously, and seemed to plan to shake off all the troubles in his head, but the troubles are still troubles, and they can not be alleviated because of how Li Xian moves.

The battle situation is still chaotic, Rao is Li Xian has been thinking about it all day, but he is still a little uncertain about the situation, the key to this is whether Hezhou can hold it - Li Yaodong sent an urgent letter before the war Li Xian has already received it, and he also knows the news of the ambush of the Salar tribe in the city of Caohan, but for Yao Wangshu such a weak man can hold the city, Li Xian still does not dare to have too much hope, if Hezhou is lost, if you want to take it back, it will not be so easy, It is obvious that this is not an easy task, and the time is also a little panicked, but if Hezhou can hold firmly, Li Xianneng's choice will be more than old and young, at least there will be no sense of embarrassment of being overstretched, so even if he knows that there is a chance that Caohan City will fall, Li Xian still holds the hope of what happens, and plans to wait for the latest news from "Mingdi" to come before making a final decision.

Waiting is undoubtedly annoying, especially the waiting that is related to the overall situation, it is an unbearable torment, even if it is as strong as Li Xian, I can't help but be upset, this has been all night, and there is no news coming, Li Xian's patience is almost exhausted, but out of prudent consideration, Li Xian still forcibly resisted the urge to send troops, and silently waited for the news that I don't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

"Your Highness, there's news!"

Just when Li Xian was stunned and looked at the sky in a daze, Lin Chengbin quickly turned out from behind a tent not far away, and when he saw Li Xian standing at the door of the big tent, he didn't dare to slack off a little, so he hurriedly walked closer, bowed down, and handed a small copper pipe in his hand to Li Xian.

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard the news that he had been waiting for a long time finally came back, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't talk nonsense, took the small copper pipe, took a deep breath, twisted the hidden button on it, took out a small note from the inside, and glanced at it quickly, his face instantly became a little gloomy, but he didn't explain much, just waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Drumming, order!" ”

"No!"

Although Lin Chengbin was curious about the content of the note, since Li Xian didn't say it, he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly agreed to the promise, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning it......

The night passed quickly, the camp of the Tusa coalition army was quiet, and did not launch a night attack, a noon passed again, the sun had been slightly deviated to the west, the Tusa coalition army still did not have the slightest sign of dispatch, only a few teams of cavalry sentry galloped back and forth outside the camp, and there was not even the slightest provocation of the defenders, no one in the city defenders knew what tricks the Tusa coalition army was playing, but no one cared about these, they were all busy repairing the city defenses, and the people in the city were all mobilized, and the small city of Caohan was full of busy people, It was not until the last moment that this rare harmony was finally shattered to pieces by a puff of smoke and dust raised from behind a mountain beam to the south.

"Woo woo woo ......"

A terrible horn sounded suddenly, and the originally orderly city head was in a panic, and the people who were helping to repair the fortifications at the city head were in a mess, and the sound of crying father and mother became a whole for a while.

"What's going on? Why the trumpet? ”

Zhang Mingwu and Li Yaodong were overlooking the camp of the Tusa coalition army in the west city, and they couldn't hear the horn of the southern city, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they rushed to the south city wall with a few guards.

"Lord Zhang, look, the thieves are coming!"

Zhang Mingwu roared like this, and suppressed the chaos on the scene, but without waiting for him to say more, a team was already pointing to the outside of the city, shouting loudly, Zhang Mingwu looked outside the city when he heard the sound, and saw a team of Tubo cavalry escorting thousands of people to the direction of the city wall, Zhang Mingwu's eyes instantly condensed, and a bad premonition immediately surged into his heart - Anxiang County is over!

"Listen to the people in the city, Anxiang has been conquered by our army, and you have become a lonely army, so when will you wait if you don't surrender early?"

Zhang Mingwu's premonition was really true, and before the defenders at the head of the city could react, he saw a partial general rushing out of the Tubo army, and he rode his horse to the city with great pride, shouting loudly in extremely stiff Chinese.

"Anxiang is broken? Oops, I'm afraid my in-laws are going to be bad! ”

"Damn, kill a thousand knives, my daughter is married to Anxiang, how should this be?"

"It's over, it's over, there's no hope!"

……

As soon as they heard that Anxiang had fallen, the people at the head of the city were in chaos again, and countless noises were intertwined, and occasionally there were low weepings, and the atmosphere of the whole city was immediately depressed to suffocation, and the morale of the people at the head of the city had suffered a heavy blow before the battle had even begun.

"The king's team is right, withdraw the people from the city, and prepare for battle!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Mingwu didn't dare to slack off, and pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist with a "swish", waved it hard, and shouted loudly.

"No!"

Now that the commander had spoken, the officers and soldiers of the defenders did not dare to slack off, and each of them responded to their promises loudly, dispersed the people at the head of the city, and left only the hundreds of people who assisted in the defense to stand by and wait for the Tubo army to attack again.

"My lord, look, it's Yao Thorn History!"

"Ah, it's really Yao Tingshi, he's ......"

"Damn, won't this guy be a Tubo dog?"

……

The Tubo army obviously did not intend to launch a rapid attack, but unhurriedly opened a formation under the city, a moment later, a middle-aged scribe dressed in the red official robe of the Tang Dynasty surrounded by more than a dozen Tubo cavalry holding round shields, slowly marched to the city from the rear, and the sharp-eyed soldiers recognized at a glance that the middle-aged official was actually Yao Wangshu, the assassin of Hezhou, and in an instant, the voice of chaos in the entire city became loud, and the morale that had been severely defeated instantly fell to the bottom.

"Captain Zhang is here? Yao Wangshu, the official of Hezhou, was here, and asked Captain Zhang to come out to speak. ”

Looking at the strict security at the head of the city, Yao Wangshu's face turned pale, but the upside-down donkey did not fall down, and the posture of the assassin was still very upright, and he dragged his voice and snorted in a tone, which was quite the same thing, but the slight tremor in his words unmistakably showed his true color of being a strong person.

"Brother Li, look at this ......"

Facing Yao Wangshu, the top boss, Zhang Mingwu was a little unsure of his attitude, so he looked sideways at Li Yaodong beside him, and hesitated to ask half of the words.

Although Li Yaodong is not from the army, he may have been sent to Hezhou by Li Xian so carefully, naturally he has his advantages, just looking at the posture under the city, he knows that it is difficult to have a peaceful end to today's affairs, and his brows can't help frowning, and he doesn't dare to make a decision easily......
