Compared with the preparations in the Tubo camp, the Tang army in Songzhou City also prepared everything in an orderly manner, and the two sides seemed to have a heart, and at the moment they got the report of the Victorian war, they both began to prepare for the war in Songzhou, but one side was preparing for the battle in Songzhou; The other side is preparing everything to defend instead of attacking!

Two hours later, the armored state lords walked in front of Li Qing, everyone looked at each other, and Shi Hao, the head of the city defense army, stood up and said: "Your Highness, everything has been prepared according to your orders, and now the places within two miles of the Songzhou city wall are poured with fire oil!" And at this moment, in the middle of winter, the withered grass is everywhere, once the fire starts, no matter how many people and horses in Tubo are, they will be buried in the fire! “

Moreover, the moat was already full of pointed javelins cut into trees, and he nodded, looking at the moat water that had gradually filled up and the white benchmark in the moat like a forest of guns, Li Qing was very satisfied. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that when he smelled the oil and gas in the air, Li Qing frowned, if the ordinary Tubo general asked about this smell, I am afraid he would not think much about it, but on the Qinling personally led the army, Li Qing did not dare to guarantee that the caution of the Qinling would not find out the strangeness here.

Looking at Maozhou joining the army, Li Qing opened his mouth and said: "Immediately collect the musk in the city and some other things that can emit peculiar smells, in short, we must cover the smell of oil outside the city, this is our only chance to defeat the Tubo army, don't miss it!" Speaking of this, a look of seriousness appeared on Li Qing's usually peaceful face.

The main general behind him saw that Li Qing was so serious, although he didn't understand why His Royal Highness King Shou was so cautious, but the matter had come to this, he had been busy for so long, and everyone naturally didn't want to fall short, and the order that King Shou had just ordered was not difficult, incense and other items were already necessary for women to live in the people's lives, and Maozhou couldn't prepare rare and valuable sandalwood for joining the army, but some ordinary and low-priced musk, Maozhou could still prepare for joining the army.

Moreover, as long as the people of Songzhou explained what was powerful, under the threat of the destruction of the city, they would surely fully cooperate with the actions of the Tang army.

After sunset, the smoke rose in the city, and dozens of horses outside the city got the news they wanted, turned their horses' heads, marched ten miles to the south, and walked to the front of the Qinling Tomb, which was surrounded by everyone, and said respectfully: "Lord, the smoke has risen in the city!" ”

Nodding with satisfaction, the army rested in place for half an hour, and after half an hour, the left army attacked the north of the city, the right army attacked the west of the city, and the prince led the Chinese army to follow behind the forward battalion to attack the south gate!

At the same time, a Tang army with a quiet but neat lineup appeared in front of everyone, the first one, although it was obvious that the demeanor of a Confucian general, although he was dressed in a military uniform, but his body was full of the unique temperament of a scholar, and he was a little less iron-blooded domineering that a leading general should have, but seeing the respectful demeanor of the generals around him, it was enough to see that the Confucian general in front of him also had some of his own means.

At this moment, the middle-aged man looked into the distance, and under the cover of the jungle, looking at the Tubo camp in front of him, where the front was vaguely visible, the middle-aged man secretly sighed: "Not to mention anything else, just looking at the scale of the Tubo camp here, it has been seen that this time the Tubo army is at least tens of thousands of horses, and it is really impossible to imagine that just the immature soldiers who have not gone to the battlefield in Chengdu can resist the repeated onslaught of the tens of thousands of troops in Tubo, and it will drag on for so long." ”

Ma Hongyuan, the chief general of Hanzhou, who had dealt with Tubo several times, clearly knew the strength of the Tupu army, and the Tubo soldiers were not only physically strong, but also the war horses were vigorous and high, and they stepped on the mountains as if they were walking on flat ground, so after thinking about it, Ma Hongyuan was more aware of the urgency of the situation in Songzhou City!

Thinking of this, Ma Hongyuan looked into the distance, looking at the deep mountain road in front of him, as if he was waiting for someone?

And the adjutant general behind him saw that the people he was waiting for had not arrived for a long time, and couldn't help but speak: "General, is it that Songzhou has suffered an accident, otherwise why haven't the men and horses sent by His Highness arrived here now, can we reinforce Songzhou!" ”

Retracting the suggestion of the vetoed adjutant general, the middle-aged man spoke: "Since His Highness asked us to wait for orders here, then we must obey His Highness's orders, and since His Highness can hold out for so long, how can he lose Songzhou in one night!" As subordinates, we must not question the ability of Shangguan for no reason! “

The middle-aged man has quite prestige in the army, and the lieutenant general behind him taught the middle-aged man a lesson, and he didn't see the slightest anger, but laughed awkwardly: "The general's lesson is that we naturally don't dare to question His Highness's ability, but first, the geographical location of Songzhou City is extremely important, and secondly, His Highness's status is noble, and he is safe and secure in Jiannan Dao!" If there is any accident with Your Highness, I am afraid it will be too late if we want to save it! “

After the deputy general finished speaking, a sound of horses' hooves came, and the middle-aged man who heard the movement immediately ordered everyone to silence, and when he saw that what appeared in front of him was a Tang army of six or seven people, the middle-aged man immediately ordered the guards next to him to bring a group of people in front of him to him.

The six or seven people who were brought to Ma Hongyuan were led by the cronies of Shi Hao, the western battalion of the city defense army, and carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, the city defense army commander hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively: "General... But General Ma Hongyuan, the chief general of Hanzhou?" ”

Although he had never seen the true face of the chief general of Hanzhou, he could still determine the identity of the middle-aged man in front of him by looking at the temperament of the man in front of him and the respectful attitude of the generals around him.

Seeing that the other party was able to guess his identity for the first time, Ma Hongyuan was slightly surprised, and did not be arrogant because of the huge difference in identity, at this moment Ma Hongyuan said calmly: "That's right, it's the general, what orders does Your Highness have?" ”

Seeing that the Hanzhou commander in front of him was straight to the point, the commander of the city defense army did not delay at all, after all, the military situation was urgent, he arched his hand and said: "Your Highness ordered the Hanzhou people to stand by, after half an hour, there is no need to reinforce Songzhou, and directly lead the troops to raid the Tubo camp and cut off their way back!" ”

nodded, and promised to the brigade commander in front of him: "Your Highness's orders, my Hanzhou soldiers and horses should obey, but this time Tubo has done his best, is His Highness really sure to hold Songzhou, after all, His Highness is sensitive, and he is in danger of being alone in Jiannan Dao, if there is an accident, I will be shameless to face Your Majesty!" ”

The brigade commander of the city defense army, who originally maintained a respectful look, heard that the Hanzhou soldiers and horses in front of him actually questioned King Shou, and waved his hand with a face that was neither humble nor arrogant: "This general doesn't bother, the general just needs to follow His Highness's orders, since His Royal Highness dares to let the general do this, he naturally has full confidence to annihilate the enemy outside Songzhou City!" The young brigade commander deliberately bit the word "military order" very hard, as if to remind the general of Hanzhou in front of him not to do anything!

Seeing that the commander of the city defense army was so arrogant, the Hanzhou generals behind the middle-aged man were suddenly unhappy, and they were about to open their mouths to scold, but they were stopped in time by the fast-eyed Hanzhou general.

Stopping the dissatisfaction of the generals behind him, and looking at the brigade commander in front of him kindly, the Hanzhou lord said: "In this case, please also ask the brigade commander to tell His Highness that I, the Hanzhou lord, will definitely swear to complete His Highness's order!"
