Chapter 375: Crisis (II)

It is naturally not advisable to go out of the city to attack, this point Zhang Mingwu knows very well even if he is in anger, but it is obviously not a matter to sit back and watch the Tusa coalition army so humiliated, the problem is that this gang of Salar tribe miscellaneous is very vigilant, and the location of the violence is more than 400 steps away from the city, far beyond the range of the bow and crossbow, unless there is a large city defense crossbow, otherwise, the attack on the city is not enough at all, and the city has not been equipped with a city defense crossbow, Zhang Mingwu thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't think of a foolproof plan. had to turn his attention to Li Yaodong for help.

"Master Zhang, please find the hardest bow for Li."

Li Yaodong is a heroic man of the rivers and lakes, he has always been a happy and vengeful person, in the face of such a provocation by the Tusa coalition army, the anger in his heart is a little more prosperous than Zhang Mingwulai, of course, he also understands that the intention of the Tusa coalition army is to provoke the defenders to go out of the city to fight to the death, obviously, this is a road of no return, at least in Li Yaodong's opinion, but if you sit idly by, but it will greatly hurt morale, in case there are reckless soldiers to open the city to fight, the consequences are only unimaginable, in view of this, Li Yaodong had to work hard, Then he took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice.

"This ......" As soon as he heard that Li Yaodong wanted a strong bow, Zhang Mingwu couldn't help but be stunned, and then saw Li Yaodong pursing his lips, as if he didn't want to open his mouth to explain, but he didn't want to ask more, so he sighed, untied the quiver on his waist, and handed it into Li Yaodong's hand together with the iron bow, and said cautiously: "A certain bow is a four-stone bow, I don't know if Brother Li can use it?" ”

"That's enough."

Li Yaodong took the bow, tried to pull it, and then nodded with satisfaction, and did not give an explanation, but walked to the side, called a caravan guard with an extremely strong body, and after whispering a command, his body spread, and the person had risen into the air like a big bird, soaring and falling down the city, as soon as his feet landed, under a roll, the person had jumped up again, rushing forward like a galloping horse, and in a moment, he had rushed to less than two hundred steps away from the soldiers of the Salar tribe who were doing evil.

"Up, kill him!"

"Here comes a man looking for death, brothers!"

……

Although Li Yaodong's movements were fast, he couldn't hide the observation of the Tusa coalition army, and when he saw Li Yaodong's speed rushing forward so amazingly, all the Salar tribesmen couldn't help but be shocked, but when they saw that Li Yaodong was only one person, they suddenly became bold, and they all roared and rushed towards Li Yaodong, intending to rely on the numerical advantage to kill Li Yaodong, a guy who dared to break into the army alone, on the spot.

"Die!"

Seeing the Salar soldiers rushing over, Li Yaodong was not chaotic at all, while running, he untied the iron bow from his waist, turned his hand, and several feather arrows were taken in his hand, buckled to the string, pulled a round, roared, and fired arrows, but when he heard the bowstring, the three feather arrows shot out in a zigzag shape, and shot into the rushing chaos like a rainbow out of the sky, and shot down two people in an instant, and Li Yaodong did not stop at all, kept opening the bow and releasing arrows, shot out nearly 30 feather arrows in a row, and shot down more than 20 people on the spot. The rest of the Salar tribesmen were in a great confusion, and the momentum of the forward rush came to an abrupt halt, and one by one they scattered in panic, hesitating and not daring to force forward again.

"Rubbish!"

Hertzzan, who was watching the excitement behind the battle, saw that the Salar tribesmen were already timid, and immediately became annoyed, scolded disdainfully, and as soon as he raised his hand, a cavalry squad behind him immediately rode out of the horse, and attacked Li Yaodong like thunder.

"Be careful, the enemy cavalry is in action!"

"Shopkeeper Li, withdraw quickly!"

"Be careful, Brother Li is coming back soon!"

……

The defenders at the head of the city were cheering for Li Yaodong's wonderful archery skills, when they suddenly saw the smoke and dust rising from the rear of the enemy army, they were a little panicked and roared one after another.

"Die, die, die!"

Li Yaodong's vision was blocked, he couldn't see the enemy's cavalry, but he didn't panic because of this, he roared and shot the last few feather arrows one by one, and after shooting two Salar tribesmen again, he threw down the iron bow in his hand, turned around, and rushed towards the city wall with all his might, the speed was extremely fast, but compared with the galloping Tubo cavalry, but it was inferior, and when he rushed to a distance of seventy or eighty steps from the city, the Tubo cavalry squad had already crossed the hesitant Salar rebels, The distance between the two sides shrank rapidly, and soon the distance from 100 steps to less than 50 steps, and at this time Li Yaodong was still a full 20 steps away from the city wall, seeing that it was difficult to climb the city wall before the Tubo cavalry arrived, the defenders at the head of the city all exclaimed, and the crossbowmen were in place, desperately shooting feather arrows, trying to block the charge of the pursuers, but this group of Tubo cavalry was determined to kill Li Yaodong on the spot, although more than a dozen people were killed by the rain of arrows at the head of the city, but the rest still rushed wildly regardless of the horses.

"Shopkeeper, catch it!"

In the chaos, the sturdy guard who Li Yaodong had ordered earlier was not flustered at all, picked up the iron chain that he had already carried in his hand, and after throwing it a few times, he threw it out of the city vigorously, but saw that the long iron chain cut through the space like a spear, and shot rapidly in front of Li Yaodong.

"Up!"

Li Yaodong had already been prepared, this time to see the iron rope shot out, immediately under the foot of the force, the person has already risen into the air, the eyes quickly pulled the end of the chain, the guard at the head of the city saw this, yelled a voice, tried his best to pull, the chain flew back quickly backwards, at the same time, the Tubo cavalry rushed to the ground, but saw the two cavalry struggle to stand up, each with all their strength out of the knife, two bright steel knives left and right, slashed heavily between Li Yaodong's waist and abdomen, actually planned to give Li Yaodong a waist cut.

"Roaring ......"

Faced with an almost nirvana, Li Yaodong roared loudly, his waist and abdomen were in a mess, and the whole person suddenly shrank, and narrowly let go of the double knife, but the two pieces of clothing were slashed off by the blades, but that's all, without waiting for the Tubo cavalry to collect their knives and cut again, Li Yaodong had been dragged to the city wall, and with the help of his feet, the person had jumped up like a flying fairy out of the sky, and his toes were clicked a few times on the iron chain, and he successfully turned over the city.

"Good job, Shopkeeper Li is mighty!"

"Wonderful, god!"

"Great!"

……

When all the officers and soldiers saw Li Yaodong so powerful, they all cheered, and the anger that had been aroused by the shameless behavior of the Tusa coalition army was instantly released.

"Brother Li, this is too risky, fortunately you are fine, otherwise, Zhang really doesn't know how to explain to His Highness!"

Zhang Mingwu didn't expect Li Yaodong to take such a fierce counterattack in advance, otherwise, he really wouldn't agree to take such a risk, and when he saw Li Yaodong return smoothly, although he was surprised, he was afraid that it was inevitable, so he touched his sweaty forehead and said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, the thief can't make a plan, he will attack tomorrow, a battle to the death is inevitable, please prepare for it early!"

Li Yaodong was angry before, and he already had the consciousness of dying in battle, and he was also afraid of this life, but when he saw that the depressing atmosphere in the city had decreased slightly, he was still quite comforted in his heart, and he really didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he changed the topic.

"Well, I know in my heart, it is really a great luck for Zhang to be able to get Brother Li's help this time!"

Zhang Mingwu originally respected Li Yaodong, but it was generally based on his identity as the king's envoy, and after seeing Li Yaodong's amazing martial arts this time, he was completely convinced in his heart, so he nodded and replied with emotion.

Li Yaodong didn't say more, but looked at the main formation of the Tubo army with a solemn face, his eyes were full of worry, because he knew very well that it would be difficult for such a small number of troops in the city to stop the comeback of the Tubo army, if the reinforcements did not arrive, tomorrow would be the most difficult day in Caohan City, whether it could survive until dark, I am afraid that only God knows.

"Collect the troops!"

Seeing that a good show of agitated generals had been completely ruined, Hertzzan didn't even bother to regenerate, looked at the cheering defenders at the head of the city hatefully, waved his hand, and issued an order to withdraw the troops......

The day was finally bright, and the difficult night had finally passed - since yesterday afternoon, the Tusa coalition army had not lived in peace, and openly sent troops to escort the looted property from Anxiang, and the baggage was transferred to the rear, and it was sent to the city to scold and fight, or it was to continue to torture the poor captured people for fun, and the noise did not stop until late at night, but the defenders in the city did not move, and the front and rear city gates were closed, allowing the Tusa coalition army to rejoice outside the city.

"Woo woo woo ......"

At three o'clock in the morning, a terrible horn sounded, the door of the camp of the Tusa coalition army was opened, and the two Tubo cavalry took the lead and rushed out of the horse, and rushed to the next mile of the city, lined up the formation, suppressed the formation, and immediately, a team of armored warriors stepped out of the camp, neat and uniform, the momentum was extremely majestic, far from the previous two days comparable, obviously, with the help of the cover of night, the Tubo reinforcements had quietly arrived at the battlefield, the situation was already incapable of the defenders, it can be said that it was worse, Now the officers and soldiers defending the city are not facing the question of whether they can defend it, but how long they can defend it.

"Attack!"

The movement of the Tibetan army is extremely fast, but in a quarter of an hour, it has been under the city to attack the formation, Hertzzan did not talk much nonsense, just coldly raised his hand, issued a strong attack order, in an instant, the horn was fierce and sound, thousands of Tibetan hoplites under the cover of the cavalry brigade, roaring towards the city of Caohan, since the start of the war, the biggest crisis encountered by the defenders has been in sight......
