Chapter 371: The Death of Hezhou (Middle)

It was noon, the hot autumn sun made the earth smoky, but the two armies in the bitter battle did not have the slightest intention to stop, the fierce battle was still continuing, the city was full of corpses, the blood flowed like a river, the battle to this time, more than 1,000 ** has been lost nearly half, but it still firmly controls the city, no matter how the red-eyed Tubo and Salar tribe coalition army impacted, although the city defense was crumbling, but it did not fall, after launching three strong attacks in succession, the exhausted Salar tribe had to temporarily stop the futile attempt, Defeated and retreated to their own camp in a chaotic manner, lying on the ground like a pile of dead dogs, no matter how the Tibetan officers and soldiers who supervised the war scolded, beat and scolded, and refused to stand up again, the battle seemed to have reached a stalemate at this point.

"Waste, all waste! Ningustu, didn't you say that there is an internal response? What else is hidden? Waiting to die? Well? ”

As soon as the Salar tribesmen retreated, Hertzzan, who led the army to cover, had to retreat, and when he saw that the Salar tribesmen were all lying on the ground, the evil fire in his heart surged up, and he glared unceremoniously at Ninggustu, who was panting, and scolded him on the spot without any scruples.

"Don't worry, general, a certain family will send a signal and ignite the fire!"

was scolded by Hertzzan like this, Ninggu Sidu's face was a little unbearable, he stomped his feet with red ears and red ears, and roared angrily, and his heart was really depressed - originally according to the predetermined plan, as soon as the army attacked the city, the ambush soldiers in the city should have taken advantage of the chaos to start an incident, and the inside and outside should take the city in one fell swoop, but this city has been attacked three times, and there is no movement in the city, and Ning Gusi doesn't know what tricks the ambush soldiers in the city are playing, and the situation is a little wrong. Ningusdu had to come up with the last means of communication, and after an order, a pile of haystacks mixed with wolf dung had been ignited by his soldiers, and the thick black wolf smoke rolled up into the clouds.

"My lord, look, the thieves outside the city have lit wolf smoke!"

After desperately repelling the three strong attacks of the Tusa coalition army, Zhang Mingwu was extremely tired, but he didn't care about taking a break, patrolling back and forth on the city, shouting his soldiers to hurry up and rush to transport the wooden rolling stones, and when he was busy, he heard a guard next to him suddenly shouted, his heart moved, and he looked out of the city in a hurry.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Mingwu was upset, and when he heard that his head was noisy, the anger in his heart immediately rose, and a few people walked to the staircase, and scolded him coldly.

"My lord, this man called himself the shopkeeper of the caravan of 'Deng Kee Firm', and said that he had something important to meet with him, but he refused to say it clearly, and the brothers told him that the war was in full swing and he was not allowed to go to the city, and he was not satisfied, so he quarreled with the brothers."

Zhang Mingwu has a high prestige in the army, and as soon as he was so angry, the chaos below immediately quieted down, and a military commander hurriedly walked up the corridor, bowed to Zhang Mingwu, and hurriedly made a statement to explain the reason.

"Bring it on!"

Zhang Mingwu saw that the big man who was surrounded by soldiers was burly, and his face was full of fierce energy, not like an ordinary person, and the curiosity in his heart rose, and after a little groaning, he waved his hand and gave an order in a deep voice.

"The little Li Yaodong is the shopkeeper of the caravan of the 'Deng Kee Firm', and he is ordered by His Royal Highness the King to discuss important matters with Master Zhang in detail."

Zhang Mingwu had already given the order, and the soldiers did not dare to slack off, and escorted the big man to the city, but seeing that this person was calm, he was not moved by the tragic situation of blood and pestle in the city, bowed to Zhang Mingwu, and said a word of retribution unhurriedly.

"Oh? Shopkeeper Lee, please! ”

Zhang Mingwu, the name of "Deng Ji Firm", had heard of it, but he did not know the relationship between "Deng Ji Firm" and the British Prince's Mansion.

"Lord Zhang, His Royal Highness is here, please take a look!"

Li Yaodong did not rush to explain something, but took out a brocade silk from his arms very simply and handed it to Zhang Mingwu.

"Brother Li has some orders here, Zhang just listens."

Although Zhang Mingwu has never dealt with Li Xian, he has not heard of Li Xian's prestige, and when he saw that the brocade silk was covered with the big seal of King Li Xian, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly returned a salute, held the brocade silk in both hands, handed it back to Li Yaodong, and asked very politely.

"Lord Zhang is polite, Li was ordered to lead a caravan here for more than ten days, I wanted to discuss the matter of guarding the palace with Yao Tingshi, but he was never allowed to enter the door, and had to move to the city, fortunately, he learned about the affairs of the Salar tribe, thanks to the blessing of Lord Zhang, Li's department has designed to annihilate more than 200 spies in the city of the Salar tribe, and now the city is worry-free, Lord Zhang can defend the city with peace of mind, but for three days, His Royal Highness will send a large army to relieve the siege, in addition, Li also brought some sharp weapons to defend the city, which can help the adults."

Li Yaodong took the brocade silk handed back by Zhang Mingwu with both hands, folded it carefully, and carefully withdrew it into his bra, and then briefly described the reason for the matter.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

Zhang Mingwu was guessing what the intention of the enemy army outside the city was to ignite the fire, and when he heard Li Yaodong's words and had eliminated the enemy's internal response, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in surprise.

"That's true, the situation is urgent, the details will be reported later, and please ask Lord Zhang to allow Li to immediately transport the weapon to the city to resist the enemy!"

The reason why Li Yaodong was able to annihilate the enemy army in the city this time is quite tortuous, and it is generally a factor of luck - just yesterday, a member of a caravan accidentally met several drunk Salar tribe soldiers in the tavern, heard some drunken words, and found out several Tibetan points of the Salar tribe under the vine, Li Yaodong did not dare to slack off, while flying pigeons to report to Li Xian to the police, while arranging manpower, in the diet of the Salar tribe, laxatives, overturned this group of ambush soldiers, This is the reason why Ning Gusi can't wait for the internal response, but things still have something wrong in the end - by mistake, Li Xian, who was rushing overnight, did not receive this important information sent by Li Yaodong in time, so naturally he couldn't give relevant orders, and the so-called reinforcements were actually Li Yaodong's own estimates, and it was not easy to explain it to Zhang Mingwu at this time, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Okay, I can get the help of Shopkeeper Li, Zhang is desperate to keep it for three days, without further ado, Shopkeeper Li, please!"

Zhang Mingwu didn't have so many twists and turns, so he didn't think about whether Li Yaodong's words were true, what he cared about was what Li Yaodong said about defending the city, and there would be no obstruction, so he gave up his hand and excitedly appealed.

"Li obeys!"

Seeing that Zhang Mingwu didn't ask any further questions, Li Yaodong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped talking nonsense, and after answering the promise loudly, he hurriedly rushed down the stairs, ran quickly towards the city, and disappeared at the corner of the street without counting his breath.

"Sons, go into the city, let you rob for three days, the wine is enough, you want a woman, go and rob it yourself, rush, rush into the city!"

Just when Li Yaodong and Zhang Mingwu were negotiating, Ning Gusi tried his best to kick and hit the ground, and finally drove up a group of people who were lying on the ground, and made a heavy promise with a loud voice, and a group of already frightened Salar tribe soldiers heard that they could rob for three days, and the morale that had been extremely low suddenly rose again, and they completely forgot the tragic situation of being killed by ** a few times before, and rushed to the city wall again with a scream.

"The whole army obeys the order: the cavalry presses the cover, the infantry then supervises the formation, and those who dare to take a step back will be killed!"

Seeing that the Salar soldiers had launched a wild charge again, Hertzzan twitched his face, showed a sinister smile, gritted his teeth and gave the order to attack the city to the death.

"Brothers, His Royal Highness has an order, defend the city for three days, reinforcements will arrive, defend my Datang, kill thieves, kill thieves, kill thieves!"

Zhang Mingwu just sent Li Yaodong away, as soon as he turned around, he saw that the Tusa coalition army was dispatched this time, since it was clear that the time for a decisive battle had come, only to be able to repel the enemy's strong attack, the enemy's morale will be severely defeated, and there is nothing to be done, in view of this, Zhang Mingwu simply shouted the news of the reinforcements announced, as soon as this remark came out, the officers and soldiers who were already struggling immediately summoned up the courage to die, one by one shouted the battle horn, and the roar went straight to the clouds!

Perhaps it was because of the threat of death brought about by the forward pressure of the Tubo Governor's team, or perhaps because of the heavy reward of Ninggu Sidu, the Salar tribesmen rushed to the city wildly, and they didn't pay attention to the wooden rolling stones that kept falling on the city, and they didn't care about the rain of death arrows shot down from the city, one by one, they were red-eyed, screaming and screaming, even if the comrades in front of them were smashed down the ladder, they didn't care, they climbed desperately up along the extremely simple ladder, only a moment of effort, the city defense was already in an emergency, and the city was in a mess, From time to time, people howled and rolled down the city, and the battle was already at a fever pitch in a matter of moments.

"Kill, brothers, kill, don't let down the high expectations of His Royal Highness, kill the thief! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Zhang Mingwu saw that the situation was not good, led the personal guards to make up for the defense, and killed him in blood, and the whole person was like a fish out of the sea of blood, but this time the Tusa coalition army was determined to break the city in one fell swoop, no matter how Zhang Mingwu led his troops to rush and kill, he was never able to suppress the offensive of the Salar tribesmen, as time went by, the guards around Zhang Mingwu fell in a pool of blood one after another, and at the end, only three people were left to reluctantly follow him, and the war had reached the most dangerous moment......
