Chapter 931: Skinny Donkey Pulls Hard
With that threatening cry and the sharp arrow that came out of the air, Tian Lao Er was like a rabbit that had been chased by a dog, flying like a crowd, never mentioning any information or anything like that, and a burst of wanton ridicule sounded above the city.
"Damn it, let's make you laugh first, the more you laugh now, the worse it will make you cry in the future!" Tian Lao Er muttered angrily, and returned to the side of the night charm: "Young master, the little one really has no choice, why don't we go, the officers and soldiers here have been frightened by the Tang Dynasty, and they won't open the city gate for us!" ”
"To put it simply, Datang has raised the whole country's troops this time, and it may not be able to hold it here, let's continue to go!" An old man who met halfway through looked at the night charm who was still hesitating, sighed and said.
This old guy looks extraordinary, he was met by Ye Mei and the others two days ago, when this old guy and the servant were separated, sitting alone on the side of the road sighing and thirsty, if it weren't for Ye Mei's kindness to let Tian Lao Er give the old guy some water, I am afraid that this old man is already a dry skeleton on the side of the road.
"Uncle Gao, do you mean to keep walking? But we don't have much supplies, and some of the things we bought on the road are almost running out now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get to the next city after leaving here. Night Charm sat on the duffel bag and shook her head with a bitter face.
"Then we have to go, this is the border, the old man doesn't believe that Zhang Chenglin can block the attack of the Tang elite, if we enter the city, he will not be able to hold it anymore, I am afraid that we will not even have a chance to starve to death." The old man surnamed Zhang glanced contemptuously at the city wall, and from his disdainful tone, it could be heard that this old man had an extraordinary status.
You know, calling the name of the lord of a city, and saying it so politely, in ancient times, it was absolutely unacceptable, and it was a trivial matter to get it out and be killed.
Although Night Charm doesn't like to talk much, it doesn't mean that she is not intellectually enough, all the old man's performance was decided by her in the center of her eyes, and she nodded and said: "When the old man says so, we will obey the order!" ”
"Well, good, good, good clever doll!" Hearing the word 'obedience', the old man let out a hearty laugh: "Boy, it is indeed inconvenient for the old man to be equal to you at this time, but as long as you escort the old man to Anshi City safely, the benefits will inevitably be indispensable to you, and your Ma family's business will be taken care of by the old man in the future, and it will definitely go to a higher level!" ”
"Juniors, thank you seniors for taking care of you!" Night Charm nodded knowingly, flattered, and then several people began to pack up and prepare to go on the road overnight.
The Tang army is not far behind him, and every quarter of an hour's delay is a fatal thing, which is very clear to both the night charm and the old man, so they must leave here before the arrival of the Tang army, otherwise both the night charm and the old man will fall into a very embarrassing situation.
I have to say that the old man's vision is not ordinary, just the next morning after they left, a hundred cavalry of the Tang Dynasty appeared about ten miles outside the new city, and judging from the attire of this cavalry, it seems that it still belongs to the regular troops of the Sixteen Guards.
It was chaotic, it was all chaotic, and with the appearance of the first cavalry team, soon the outside of the city became the world of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
Groups of fifty and hundred, waves of cavalry appeared, and the refugees resting against the city walls were frightened and rushed to the city gate.
"Open the door, open the door, we are all Goguryeo, why don't you let us in!" The refugees slammed into the gates like crazy, using their fragile flesh to fight for the slim chance of life.
The children were crying, the adults were shouting, and the four gates of the new city were in chaos for a while, which made the already sensitive nerves of the city guards even more confused: "Come on, drive them away to Lao Tzu, all of them away!" ”
"General, think about it again, they are our people of Goguryeo after all!" As soldiers, the soldiers defending the city naturally knew that the so-called driving away was basically equivalent to cutting off the way of life of those below, and the army besieged the city, how could thousands of people survive in the wilderness.
"Lao Tzu sees them as the spies of the Tang Dynasty! Yesterday Lao Tzu gave them a chance to leave, but what did you see what they did? I don't know what to do, let them in now, do you want those Tang cavalry outside to rush into the city with them? The Xincheng guard was so angry with the problems of his subordinates that he pointed at the Tang cavalry scurrying outside the city and roared angrily.
Everyone understands the truth, and the soldiers guarding the city also understand, now that the Tang army is pressing the border, who can guarantee that those refugees outside will not be mixed in? It is indeed a great hidden danger to be let into the city, and in the spirit of being responsible for the people in the city, they should not be let in.
But the truth is the truth, but in terms of human feelings, it is difficult for these big-headed soldiers to do it. Seeing his father and fellow villagers die under the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, this is not something that everyone can accept.
"Chase them away, do you hear? If you don't do it again, military law will do it! The guard shouted for a long time and found that the big soldiers in front of him did not move, so he couldn't help but be even more angry, and turned to look at a few pro-soldiers behind him: "You guys go, go and drive away all the people below, Lao Tzu doesn't care what method you use, in short, clear the city gate for Lao Tzu." ”
Liaodong City, Li Ji and the army of Brother Cave pressed the border; Xincheng, Li Daozong's soldiers are near Liaoshui; There are also hundreds of thousands of troops led by Li Shimin.
All of a sudden, the entire Liaodong wind surged, and everyone's eyes were all focused on this side, and the Goguryeo royal city was reported three times a day, and countless exploration horses came and went between the royal city and Liaodong.
"Your Majesty, it was you who insisted on cutting off the passage between Silla and Baekje and the Tang Dynasty, and captured their envoys, and now the Tang Dynasty is attacking with troops from all over the country, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Goguryeo Molizhiquan Gai Suwen had a diametrically opposite attitude towards the Tang Dynasty and Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, and at this moment, the complaints in the face of the Tang Dynasty's attack were naturally revealed.
"Gai Suwen, are you accusing the Lone King?" Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, looked at his subordinate minister coldly, and his expression was quite like wanting to send someone to take him down and behead him in front of the palace.
"The minister is not accusing, but asking His Majesty on behalf of the five Goguryeo tribes." Quangai Suwen did not have the same rights as later generations at this time, so he had no intention of fighting with King Rongliu.
"In this case, you can retreat first, I have more than 600,000 armor from Goguryeo, and I have repelled the three Eastern Crusades of the former Sui, and Yang Guang has no choice but to send millions of troops, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people this time." Gao Jianwu didn't want to cause any civil strife during the Tang Dynasty's eastward crusade, so after a perfunctory remark, he asked Quangai Suwen to retreat.
