"Whew!" A thunderbolt was lit, and the soldier hid behind the walls and threw it in the direction of the enemy in front of him........

"Boom!" The thunderbolt exploded, and the flames burst into flames, and the coalition forces ate a thunderbolt and let out several wails, apparently some people were injured or lost their lives. The originally dense rain of arrows also stopped for a short time.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately took this opportunity to go down... Unfortunately, the scope of a thunderbolt is limited, and the distance between the enemy and the enemy is very long, so it is not real.

"Throw a few more thunderbolts down, spread them out a bit!" Chen Fei ordered.

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward, lit a thunderbolt and threw it down. "Boom, boom!" Several earth-shattering sounds were mixed with the screams of many soldiers.

The Tang army finally got a rough idea of the number of sneak attackers. Cheng Chumo was suddenly furious and scolded: "Mahler is a target! Thousands of people dare to sneak attack and attack the city? Archer! Give me arrows! ”

The archers, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately bent their bows and arrows, and with the help of the sparks that exploded in the thunderbolts, they mapped the enemy's position, and rained round after round of arrows towards the enemy.

The situation was suddenly reversed, and after finding out the details of the enemy, the Tang army changed from passive beating to active attack. Many of the enemy were screaming at arrows, and they were forced to retreat, not daring to stand within the range of the Don army.

Seeing that the sneak attack was hopeless, the enemy generals who led the sneak attack had no choice but to withdraw, and a farce at night came to an end temporarily.

The Don Army now clears up the number of casualties and gets a very bad number.

The enemy's sneak attack just now caused the Tang army to lose more than 20 officers and men, and more than 100 people were injured of varying degrees of severity.

The enemy only sent more than 1,000 people to cause such huge damage to his own side, what if the enemy went up with tens of thousands of people? If there were no thunderbolts, I'm afraid the enemy would be jumping up the city walls, right?

The reason why the enemy did not dare to send all his troops to attack was that Chen Fei guessed that the other party was still afraid of the thunderbolt in their hands, otherwise he would definitely not attack and retreat so easily.

"Hey! Ah Fei, you are exactly that! Cheng Chu sat silently on the city wall, constantly complaining: "There are only a few thousand enemies, why don't you let me go out with soldiers and horses to kill the enemy?" ”

Chen Fei was speechless for a moment, the enemy still has tens of thousands of people stationed in the camp, you go to pursue these defeated soldiers, is your brain in the water or what? After so many years of experience in war, have you learned from the dog's belly?

Cheng Chumo saw that Chen Fei's face was not very good-looking, and said with a smile: "Ah Fei, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, in fact, I didn't want to go stupidly to pursue the enemy, the other party has tens of thousands of people, isn't it death to pursue it?" In fact, I want to take advantage of the chaos to send a force out of the city with thunderbolts, and then give those barbarians in the Western Regions a dose of fierce medicine! Cheng Chumo said what he was excited about, and he didn't forget to gesture with his hand: "Boom! Feather into an immortal! Isn't that wonderful! ”

"Feather a yarn!" Chen Fei said angrily: "It's pitch black outside, you can't even judge where the enemy is, how can you sneak attack someone's house?" What if someone else counters a sneak attack? Have you forgotten the Tibetan army that left during the day? There are 20,000 or 30,000 people, do you know where they went? Maybe you're squatting out of sight! Don't forget, what was the reason for the destruction of Songzhou City in the first place? It's that Han Wei underestimated the enemy! ”

Cheng Chumo was told by Chen Fei's weak heart, and retorted in a low voice: "Isn't this that you haven't gone out yet?" Besides, we have thunderbolts, and we are not afraid of them! ”

"Come on, you will really be ambushed by the other party at that time, if people don't get close to you, just send a few rounds of arrow rain at you, no matter how powerful the thunderbolt fire is, it won't hurt people." Chen Fei buckled his nose, suddenly thought of a question, and asked Cheng Chumo in a low voice: "I forgot to ask you, how many thunderbolts did you bring with you this time?" ”

"Five thousand, what's wrong?" Cheng Chu blinked silently.

"Five...... Five thousand? Chen Fei almost didn't jump when he heard this number. Only 5,000? Why don't you go in the morning? At least a thousand of them were used today! ”

Chen Fei lowered his voice to prevent others from hearing what they were talking about, now is the time when morale is high, and there must be no chaos, so this news can't be known to too many people.

"Yes, five thousand thunderbolts." Cheng Chumo blinked his eyes and said innocently: "The main purpose of our thousand people is not to come to fight, so Your Majesty didn't let us transport too many things. ”

Chen Fei suddenly felt a burst of weakness, he didn't know how many enemies there were, what kind of tactics would come up, the thunderbolt fire used up one-fifth of it at once, it was too wasteful, and he would have saved some if he knew it.

"By the way, since Your Majesty sent you, the army behind you should also be moving, right? How long can I expect to come? ”

Chen Fei asked expectantly. As long as the follow-up army arrives, these Western Regions coalition forces in front of him will not be a problem at all, he believes that the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, coupled with the cooperation of the Thunderbolt Society, these coalition forces will definitely not be able to resist!

Cheng Chumo shook his head: "I don't know! When I set off, I only heard the rumors, but His Majesty didn't really transfer troops, and maybe we won't make arrangements until our war report arrives in Chang'an City. ”

"Nima!" Chen Fei couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, originally he listened to Cheng Chumo's words and thought that the army of the imperial court would not take many days to arrive here, but after feeling for a long time, Li Shimin really just sent a vanguard deployment to do the pre-war deployment, and he had not mobilized the army at all.

Chen Fei was excited in vain!

Even if the battle report is rushed for thousands of miles and disdained day and night, it will take about ten days to be sent to Chang'an City, and it will take Li Shimin to receive the war report, mobilize the army, and then drive to Dunhuang........ Nima, at least a month has passed! There are so many variables that can happen this month! No one knows what kind of accident will happen.

And the defenders of Dunhuang can only rely on the 4,000 thunderbolts in their hands and the few pitiful cannons on the city wall.

And the enemy besieges but does not attack, no one knows what kind of means they will have, Chen Fei must be cautious and must defend the city. Otherwise, he would be a sinner through the ages!

"Chu Mo, summon all the generals to the battle room!" Chen Fei said with a solemn face.

Cheng Chu scratched his head silently and didn't answer: "Now? ”

"That's right! Right now! Go and gather them all, I have something to discuss!" ”

"Good!" Cheng got up silently, walked away quickly, and arranged for the soldiers to call his brother's general. After a while, all the big and small generals, including Cao Ming and Yin Ping, gathered.

Chen Fei said with a solemn expression at the beginning: "Everyone, there is one thing that must be told to everyone, it is unfortunate news. It will be at least a month before the imperial army arrives, and the thunderbolt we have in hand... Less than a thousand! ”
