"I see!" Hou Junji said with a little disappointment, he thought that there were a lot of things, and he wanted to burn Tuyuhun and then burn Tubo.

"yes, if there were more, the battle would be much easier." Duan Zhixuan nodded and said.

"Having said that, if that's the case, I'm afraid that our martial artists will be much less useful." Hou Junji sighed.

"I'm afraid that's going to happen in the future." Duan Zhixuan, as the head of Li Shimin's personal guard, had naturally seen gunpowder that could make a thunderous sound, and had such a fierce fire oil, after listening to Hou Junji's words, he couldn't help but glance at Hou Junji strangely when he thought of this, and agreed with what he said.

"Is there really a lot of this oil in the future?" Hou Junji noticed his eyes and couldn't help but ask in a heartbeat.

"I guess so." Duan Zhixuan didn't like to mention gunpowder, so he had to answer vaguely.

Hou Junji saw that he didn't want to say more, and he didn't ask, and continued to pay attention to the siege.

The catapult quickly moved a hundred paces forward and continued to throw the oil pipe, and the archers also approached to release the rocket.

Duan Zhixuan saw the flames in the city rising again, and immediately nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Pay attention to precautions, in case the other party's dog jumps off the wall in a hurry." ”

"What about the other three?" Murong Xiaojun stood in the middle of the city, looked at the soldiers around him with hesitant faces, and asked with a bitter face.

"General! The other three sides are in a similar situation, and the Tang Army is still burning non-stop, what should I do now? The adjutant replied with a bloodless face.

"Vicious! It's vicious! Now that there is fire on all sides, you can't rush out, you immediately lead someone to demolish all the houses in front of you, so as not to spread the fire, you must be fast! Murong Xiaojun said anxiously.

"If you don't want to die, go and tear down the house in front of you!" The lieutenant didn't say much, climbed on the back of a horse and shouted loudly.

The Tuyuhun soldiers were just frightened by the fire, they were already desperate, but now that someone took the lead, whether they survived or not, there was little hope, and they hurriedly acted quickly.

"Hurry up and find water, and let everyone cover their mouths with a damp cloth." Murong Xiaojun felt that the air was getting hotter and hotter, and black smoke was all over the city, so he hurriedly gave an order to the guards.

"It's the general!" No one wanted to die, and the guards hurriedly took action.

"If you can survive, when the Tang army attacks, take your brothers to break through." Murong Xiaojun said to the other lieutenant general.

"General, we retreat, so what do you do?" The adjutant general asked worriedly.

"The loss is so huge, how can you return to China with the face, and not a single one dies to repay the lord of the country." Murong Xiaojun said bitterly, in fact, he didn't want to live, but he understood Fu Yun's personality better, greedy for money and lustful, if there were too many casualties on this expedition, there would be no good result when he went back, but it would affect the family, not only Fu Yun would not let him go, but other families would come to find trouble, thinking for a long time, none of them died.

"General! After the end is broken, you can lead people to retreat, without you, the end will worry that you will not be able to return with people. "The deputy general is Murong Xiaojun's confidant, and he is about to break it off for him, it seems that Murong Xiaojun is not bad, at least someone is willing to die for him.

"After breaking through, rush to the vicinity of Songzhou as fast as possible, converge with Tubo, and then immediately evacuate back to China, this is the vast majority of the domestic troops, if they die, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, even the party will not let us go, remember that for the sake of the Murong family, I must die." Murong Xiaojun grabbed the deputy general, lowered his voice, and urged vigorously.

"The last general obeys the order, and he will do his best to bring people back." The adjutant general's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists and replied, he also understood what Murong Xiaojun meant, and he didn't persuade him, but he was extremely sad in his heart.

Murong Xiaojun felt that the air was getting hotter and hotter, watching the fire still burning on all sides, his nostrils were full of heat, and occasionally there were bursts of smoke, and the war horses in the city were constantly neighing, as an animal, his nose was more sensitive, and it was obviously more uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Murong Xiaojun's heart couldn't help but sink, if the war horse died, then there was really no way to break through, and hurriedly ordered the wet cloth to be put on the war horse.

Fortunately, although it is a small city, there are many wells in the middle of the city, and there are many people with great strength, and people are constantly being brought up, and tents are set up to wet the tents, and all the horses are locked in, so that they can breathe a sigh of relief.

The fire burned until midnight before it was extinguished, but fortunately, although the fire was extinguished, it was full of high temperatures on all sides, so that the Tang soldiers could not attack.

Murong Xiaojun looked at the sky, estimated that the Tang Dynasty would attack after dawn, and hurriedly arranged for the soldiers to rest.

Just now, Murong Xiaojun, who had not slept all night, called all the soldiers to eat, and then began to sort out the equipment and feed the war horses, everyone already understood that the whole army would retreat today, and there would inevitably be a bitter battle.

As expected, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, the Tang soldiers appeared outside the city, obviously not wanting to give Murong Xiaojun more time to rest.

"General! The Don army attacked from two sides, and the other two were guarded by cavalry. The guards who had already arranged for a long time quickly inquired about the good news and came to report.

"It's really going to kill them all! Isn't that direction the Xuanjia Army? As soon as Murong Xiaojun heard this, he knew that Datang was definitely attacking with all his might, otherwise he would not concentrate his forces, and immediately decided to break through from the side of ordinary cavalry.

"Let's go! Kill it out. Murong Xiaojun put on his helmet, raised his hand and said coldly, after speaking, he got on his horse and took the lead towards the city gate, although he knew that he would die today, but his heart did not fluctuate.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! The desolate sound of the horn tore through the dawn, the sky was already bright, and the Datang soldiers shouted neat slogans and began to attack.

The carts, which were taller than the city walls, were slowly advancing under the impetus of the warriors, and the catapults had already begun to throw stones, and the weighing stones made a dull sound on the city walls.

Entering the firing range, the archers raised their hands neatly and threw them, a dense rain of arrows shot up the city walls, the infantry began to rush with a roar, and the siege ladder was quickly erected to the wall.

"Boss, that's not right!" The guards saw that the soldiers approached the city wall easily, and not a single arrow was shot along the way, so they felt that something was wrong and hurriedly said to Hou Junji.

Hou Junji naturally saw that something was wrong, and after a little thought, he understood that Murong Xiaojun wanted to escape.

"Bang!" The city gates, which had been burned by fire, were knocked down!

"Kill!!" The Datang soldiers shouted excitedly and rushed into the city.

"Woo! Woo! Just then, a trumpet sounded from outside another city gate.

As soon as Hou Junji heard this, he knew that Murong Xiaojun must have broken through from that side, and he knew that Duan Zhixuan would definitely support the past, and he didn't waste time, so he immediately stepped forward, wanting to quickly cross the city and chase him from behind.

Hou Junji had just rushed into the city not far away, when he found that a fire was burning in front of him, blocking the way forward, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly shouted at the soldiers to withdraw from the city and make a detour to chase after him.

It turned out that Murong Xiaojun had already prepared, and yesterday he demolished the house and piled up all the wood, waiting for the Tang Dynasty to attack and ignite it to block it.
