Speaking of this, Shi Hao and the three of them glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, bowed together, and knelt down on one knee, "The young marshal is righteous, I will not give up waiting for death, from now on, but there is a life, everything is done, the people in the army have always advocated military merits, just two days of getting along, Ma Hongyuan and the three of them have recognized the identity of the white-clothed young man in front of them from the heart, if it is said that the name of the young marshal who was unintentional before is just the honorific title of the people in the Chengdu army, after this battle, This title, which was originally limited to Chengdu, has become a unique title worthy of the name of Jiannan Province.

The desolate horn sounded, and in the tent of the commander of the army in Nanzhao, a thin man with a slight beard at the corner of his mouth looked at the kneeling guards in the tent and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

The person who came wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said slowly: "Returning to the big marshal, just now the gate of Qingxi Pass was opened, and the three main generals inside were all dispatched, all rushing towards the forward battalion in the middle lane, and now the forward battalion has been completely damaged and urgently needs reinforcements." ”

With a sweep of his eyes, the lord of Nanzhao shouted in a majestic voice: "I'm afraid it's not their strategy to attack the east and west, the Tang people have always been cunning." ”

Faced with the suspicion of his own commander, the guards naturally did not dare to slack off, and replied respectfully: "Back to the commander, my subordinates clearly see that it is indeed the three main generals in Qingxi Pass, and they are all rushing towards the main force in the middle with their own personal guards. ”

Regarding the words of his own guards, the chief general of Nanzhao nodded, "In this case, letting the commander of the guard battalion lead two thousand guards to rush to support is bound to block the footsteps of the Tang army." ”

Seeing that he had been ordered to quickly retreat from the guards outside the net, the Nanzhao Lord general's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to himself: "Finally, can't you bear it?" As long as it drags on for another day or two, the lord of the country will definitely be able to solve King Shou, as long as he is in addition to King Shou's henchman, swallowing Jiannan is just around the corner, and when the time comes, those women in Chengdu City are not at their own devices. ”

It's just that King Shou is also a character, with less than 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers, he has blocked the lord of the country for 70,000 horses for so long, this person must not stay, as long as he is in one day, he will always be my Nanzhao's henchman. ”

···············

Compared with the blood flowing outside Qingxi Pass, now as the main battlefield to resist the main force of Nanzhao East Road, it is also not inferior to half a point, the whole five days of continuous attack, Ge Luofeng did not intend to leave a moment of respite for the defenders in the city, Meizhou has Meishan in the south, Pengshan in the north, and Jijin in the east, Nanzhao's offensive is mainly concentrated in the west of the city, Nanzhao is divided into three groups with 20,000 people, and the remaining 6,000 people are used as reserve troops, which is clearly intended to consume the defenders in Meizhou City alive.

After five days of attack, it was originally worth 20,000 soldiers, but after five days, only about 10,000 were left, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers were all wounded, and once again they waved their swords to kill the Nanzhao soldiers who climbed the city wall, and after looking at the Nanzhao army that slowly faded under the city, Li Qing frowned and looked at the generals of the various armies who followed behind him, and sighed, the tragedy of this war can be regarded as the most of the battles he has experienced over the years, in just five days, three of the main generals of the ten states who came to the aid of the original high-spirited have been killed, The remaining Maozhou generals were also seriously injured and unconscious, and were carried to the general's mansion for treatment, but fortunately, Li Qingwei was enough, otherwise, with the tragedy of the current display, in exchange for the past, these border guards who supported their own troops would have led the army to evacuate.

Of course, these payments are not without a price, according to Li Qing's estimates, these days of reckless attack, the Nanzhao army must also have suffered heavy losses, the number of casualties, I am afraid that no less than 20,000, after a glance at the city, it seems that the Nanzhao army will not attack again, Li Qing walked into the city tower, looked at Wang Ji and said slowly: "What is the situation in the city now?" ”

Back to His Royal Highness, these days to defend the city, the bows and arrows in the city are not one out of ten, the wood, the golden soup is also seriously insufficient, as for the armor / weapons are also dilapidated and damaged, Chengdu and the surrounding states and counties of Chengdu can mobilize the ordnance has been called, even if you want to call the north and south of the sword, I am afraid it will be difficult to arrive for a while, the ordnance money and food of the imperial court, since I saw it once five days ago, now there is no news, another day, I am afraid it will be exhausted, and when the time comes, it will only be possible to meet with the Tubo army in short arms. ”

Nodding, Li Qing looked around at the commanders of the states who had walked into the building at some point, and said in a condensed voice: "Now the situation in the city must have been known to you, I don't know how the war outside Qingxi Pass is, and the reinforcements of the imperial court are also missing. ”

After this day, Nanzhao Pavilion Luo Feng must have been clear about the situation in the city, this king chose to fight with him out of the city at this time, so that he is uncertain, this person is complex and suspicious, and will never do something uncertain, only let him be indecided, we have a glimmer of life. ”

Hearing this, the Songzhou Lord General under the hall hesitated for a moment, glanced at Li Qing, and said: "Your Highness, even if Your Highness is to blame, the last general will also speak?" ”

"Tianbao five years, thanks to His Royal Highness's weight, promoted to the rank of Songzhou general, over the years, all the orders of His Royal Highness, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, my surname Song did not frown, but the suffering of His Royal Highness over the years, I see it in my eyes, now His Majesty is unkind, because of suspicion, let the princess and the county lord be trapped for a long time, those dignitaries in Chang'an City only know that they are happy all day long, sheng song and Yan dance, where do we know that we are fighting in the bloody and bloody wind on the frontier, with the idea of humility, we simply give way to a road, Let Ge Luofeng go to Chang'an to ask His Majesty for an explanation, in the end, what does this matter have to do with our Jiannan Dao? Zhang Yantuo, the governor of Yaozhou, has been beheaded by His Royal Highness to show the public, and Luo Feng doesn't dare to say anything to our Jiannan Dao? ”

Yi Hao's words are wrong, Ge Luofeng's ambitions are not small, Nanzhao raised troops this time, it is to encroach on Jiannan, if this king is switched, I am afraid that Ge Luofeng will take Chengdu before going to Chang'an, and there is a wrong, there is a debtor, this king will never be for his own selfishness, let me Tang people be ravaged by foreign races, since this king is the commander of an army, it is the duty to protect the territory and defend the country, this idea, in the future, must not be born, if the sky let the king bury his bones here, this king has no regrets. ”

In the early morning of the next day, outside the city of Meizhou, the only remaining 3,000 cavalry troops lined up, the first one, dressed in the Xuanyi royal suit, the waist and crotch Tang knife Xuanyi royal clothes, eight people and eight horsemen, each of them had a calm face with a sworn death.

Two miles away from Li Qing and the others, 10,000 elite iron horsemen, waist and hip scimitars, were slowly surrounding

Facing the encirclement of the enemy, Li Qing instead had a kind of pride in putting him to death, looking back at the three thousand cavalry behind him, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, this king came to Chengdu this time, and he didn't plan to go back alive. ”

"Kill!"

"Okay, a good one should be killed, how can my Jiannan boy be less arrogant? After this battle, the king will build 30,000 monuments under Zhaogong Mountain in Chengdu, all the fallen soldiers in this battle, all leave their names on it, for future generations to pay respect, where are the Jiannan soldiers? ”

"In, in, in!"

"Follow this king, draw your sword, and kill all the enemies who come to attack!"

I don't know when, on the city of Meizhou, the three-foot high platform, there were bursts of drums, looking up, I saw a woman in white with unparalleled grace and excellent appearance, beating the drum with both hands, the drum shook the sky, and shocked people's hearts.

In ancient times, there was a big man, the wind rose, and now there is Jiannan, draw a knife!
