"Why did Brother Su say this, how can the little brother be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Cheng Chuliang felt that he was humiliated, and said loudly with a red face.

"Brother, don't get me wrong, brother doesn't mean anything else, firstly, my brother has no military position, and secondly, and most importantly, I need someone to bring the news back.

After you break through, find a way to find Wei Chi Baolin, who came this time, don't be in a hurry to retaliate, hide, find out the reason, and then send the news back to Chang'an, waiting for orders. Su Dingfang patted him on the shoulder, lowered his voice, and said in an accentuated tone.

"Little brother understands! I swear I'll bring someone back. Cheng Chuliang nodded vigorously, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Huh! Second brother Cheng, you are still young, this time you go back to Chang'an to learn how to use soldiers, my brother believes that you will avenge us, and also told Feng Daiwen Governor that a certain family did not complete the task and lost the Western Regions, which disappointed him. Su Dingfang looked relaxed and said with a faint smile.

"I've always heard my brother talk about the second brother of the Feng family, it is said that he is a hero, so that his brother, Yu Chi Dalang and others admire him, and he also said that it is far inferior, my brother has always been afraid of no one except Aya, and he can be so admired, I think he must be a great character." Cheng Chuliang heard the mention of Feng Daiwen, and said a little distractedly.

"Wei Guo is indeed a great person, not only has a skill that far surpasses ordinary people's ability to write and martial arts, but also is good at discovering, promoting subordinates, open-minded, never greedy for merit, and will not forget the brothers around him if he has benefits." Su Dingfang thought back to the past and said happily and sincerely.

"Brother Su seems to admire him a lot, but the elder brother of the Feng family is really good, and his income has increased a lot in recent years with him taking care of the family." Cheng Chuliang saw Su Dingfang's sincere friendship expression, and said with a smile.

"Hmmm! A certain family originally planned to join the army, but as a result, Wei Guo was directly promoted and entrusted with important tasks and made contributions, which was reused by the saint to guard the Western Regions, but unfortunately he had the grace of the saint, and he really had no shame to return to Chang'an.

You can go back and report truthfully, you don't have to excuse something, you can go and get busy. Su Dingfang's expression darkened, and he shook his head and said.

"Little brother retires!" Cheng Chuliang looked at Su Dingfang, who was silent, and really didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to go to work first.

After waiting for Cheng Zhiliang to leave, Su Dingfang began to patrol again and check the defense, the biggest advantage of the Western Regions is that there are few trees, which also makes the attacker unable to find wood to use as siege weapons, even the ladders are brought from other places, and they have been destroyed a lot in recent days, and in addition to the small city, it has only been guarded by more than 3,000 people for several days.

Wounded, most of the dead are recruits, as well as the conscripted people of the Western Regions, the soldiers of Xijile have long since died, the remaining 1,000 are intact, 500 are slightly injured, all of them are the elite of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately there are no arrows now, otherwise it will not be a problem to hold on for a few days, without the suppression of arrows, the next battle will be more difficult, which makes Su Dingfang have no choice but to fight hard.

The discipline of the Tang Dynasty is strict, these are the soldiers guarding the town, if they run away because of this, unless they do not return to the Central Plains for the rest of their lives, or they will go back to a dead end, unless ordered by their superiors, they can only fight to the death, but the treatment of the Western Regions is at least three times that of the Central Plains, and the same is true for the death pension, which is also one of the reasons why the soldiers are willing to fight to the death, and Su Dingfang has always been a soldier who has always shared weal and woe, and is deeply loved by his subordinates.

…………

Outside the city of Sijile -- several days of fierce attack, resulting in nearly 10,000 casualties in the alliance of the six countries, which were originally a small country united, and the casualties of nearly 10,000 people have already left two or three of them wounded and unacceptable.

"No more! In just a few days, most of the dead and wounded, starting tomorrow, our country will not participate in the attack, only responsible for guarding one side. Mi Mi Xiu shouted in the camp.

"Well, that's what we mean."

"And our Shi Guo!"

Three countries in a row have said that they have killed too many people and cannot attack, and they are not to blame, the failure of the Western Regions is equivalent to the destruction of the country, so they are not willing to sacrifice their subordinates.

It was Cui Meng who led the troops in Shiguo, and he also knew what these small countries were thinking, fortunately, the purpose of consuming the Tang Dynasty's troops was basically achieved, and his main force was still there, and the other two countries were also bought, so it was not good to be too persecuted, so he said with a smile: "In this case, the three of them will take their own men and horses to guard the three parties, and the rest will be handed over to us." ”

When the three kingdoms heard Cui Meng's promise, they all nodded happily, saying that they would definitely be optimistic about the three sides and prevent anyone in the city from escaping, and then they resigned to arrange manpower.

"Three foxes! Bah! After the three of them left, General Bi Guo scolded with a beard with a full face and a mouthful of thick phlegm to the door.

In many places in the Western Regions, foxes are cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, and of course they also have the meaning of cunning.

Cui Meng, as a well-educated child of a real century-old family, was quite disgusted by this rude behavior, and glanced at the thick phlegm very disgustingly.

Turning his head, he didn't care about it, he endured the discomfort in his heart, cheered up, and said with a smile: "It's okay, a lot of Tang troops have been consumed in the past few days, and we are enough, and we will be dealing with them in the future." ”

"Datang is really fierce, fortunately there are not many of them!" Mu Wen's general sighed with palpitations.

For these rare and strange people from the Western Regions, Cui Meng is also very helpless, compared to the Tang Dynasty, there is indeed a big gap, which also makes him a little proud in his heart, but unfortunately he is not a Tang Dynasty person, thinking about leaving his hometown, his heart can't help but be gloomy.

"At the end of today, there are no arrows in Datang, I'm afraid there are none, after all, this is not the Central Plains, and they are difficult to supply, so everyone can rest assured that they will attack, and they will definitely attack it." Cui Meng said agitation, the continuous war in the Western Regions has made this former family child grow up, and he has a lot of experience and can see the battle situation.

I heard that the Tang Dynasty did not have arrows, which made the generals of the two countries happy, it was really the Tang Dynasty crossbow arrows that made them suffer a lot, the original people of the Western Regions were not good at attacking the city, and they were distressed in the face of the reinforced Xijile, and they were shot wildly by the crossbow arrows when they climbed up several times, and they were defeated.

And most of the nearly 10,000 dead and wounded were shot to death, so that a large number of archers had to be divided into a few days to suppress, so that the two sides continued to shoot at each other, and the arrows were almost impossible to use.

As a general of the Tang Dynasty, defending the city is just the most basic requirement, although there are no arrows in the city, and the hot oil for defending the city is also consumed, Su Dingfang asked to demolish the houses in the city, collect the clay pots and iron pots, and put them on the head of the city with gold juice (dung), and just wait for the war to burn and fall down.
