"Your Majesty, the number of Tang troops is not large at the moment, they are just blocking the city gates on all sides, but they are negligent in guarding against the city walls, we can take advantage of this, quietly send people out at night, use ropes from the city head to descend outside the city, and then swim across the moat."

Human wisdom is indeed forced out, and those cowards who do nothing have come up with a way to avoid being killed.

But they didn't think about it, such an obvious loophole, could it be that Li You and Songtsen Gampo couldn't notice it? Even if one person can't notice, why can't so many people notice?

But now that it has reached the relationship of outlaws, these people no longer think about so many ifs, as long as they can get out, as long as reinforcements can come, it doesn't matter how many people it will die, no matter who it dies, anyway, as long as they don't die.

I have to say that human nature has become extremely ugly at this moment, and all these can be discarded in order to survive any face and dignity.

Emperor Shu Ming was also panicked at this time, he didn't have his own opinions at all, and when he saw that everyone said this, it was naturally right, so he found the guards in the palace and asked them all to change into black clothes, and they just waited for it to get dark and immediately left the city.

At this time, Yamada saw that he really couldn't change the situation in front of him, so he could only walk out again: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that since going out of the city to ask for help is already our only way out, we can't wait one more night." ”

"Why? What do you really want? Someone saw Yamada come out and immediately blocked him between him and Emperor Shu Ming.

"It's not what I think, it's whether you want them to get out alive." Yamada glanced at the man coldly, and then said: "Yesterday I have been following the attack of the Tang Army, and I found that their attack will only slow down in the early hours of the morning, do you know what this means? ”

Without waiting for anyone else to say anything, he continued to say loudly: "This means that they need to rest too!" They are human too! They will be lax, but this is the time we have to get right. ”

"So we have to wait, wait until the moment when the Tang Army's offensive slows down, only this time is the best time to let them out, otherwise if their actions are discovered, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to go out in the future."

Yamada's words finally attracted attention, and the Emperor thought about it seriously, nodded and said: "What Yamada Aiqing said is right, we don't have many opportunities, and we can even say that we only have one chance, so we can't afford to miss a little, if you understand him, just do what he says." ”

"Wow!" After a reply peculiar to the Japanese people, the guards who had been summoned into the main hall gave Yamada a grateful look, and then withdrew.

……

It was night, and it was a sleepless attack, but with yesterday's experience, the Japanese people at the head of the city had a counterattack this time, launching a counterattack against those trebuchets and bed crossbows that were too close to the city walls.

However, in the darkness of the night, their counterattack did not have any effect, so all the arrows fired were blocked by the protective devices on these large equipment.

After all, Datang's current equipment is different from the past, and what normally requires several people to operate, only two people are needed to operate it, so only some simple protective plates need to be installed on the catapult and bed crossbow to play a defensive role.

On the contrary, their counterattack caused the artillery in the distance to have a target, and a series of black iron balls smashed into the position of their counterattack after a few moments.

As a result, a counterattack that had just been prepared was beaten back again, not to mention not a single hair of the Tang army, and the Japanese themselves were wounded and killed, but they lost no less than hundreds of people.

But it was precisely because of this counterattack that the Tang army's attack finally stopped, allowing the Japanese people in the city to enjoy peace for most of the night.

……

At midnight, an hour after the Tang Dynasty stopped attacking, a few figures sneaked out of the pitch-black head of the Japanese capital, and after looking around for a while, a few ropes quietly hung down from the head city.

Then the figures climbed over the city and slid down the rope they had just thrown down.

In the silence of the night, those black shadows moved very nimblely, like a group of monkeys sliding down rapidly.

But at this moment, there was a sudden "poof" sound in the moat!

In the silence of the night, the sound was so loud and terrifying that in an instant several shadows that slipped down from the top of the city stopped in unison.

But the accident happened at this time.

Probably because they stopped moving so fast that the rope that hung them was pulled so hard, that one of them began to struggle after a pause, and then at the moment when no one could react, the struggling man fell down with his rope, and fell to the city with a "poof" in the blink of an eye.

The whole process happened so suddenly that the other people didn't have time to react, and could only watch the guy fall down without saying a word.

After another moment, nothing else happened in the four corners, and a few shadows that hung on the wall and did not move moved, slid down with a faster movement than before, and then rushed to the side of the fallen man as fast as they could.

No one cares where the "poof" sound came from at this time, and the time has entered early summer, so I think there should be frogs and something like that lying on the edge of the moat.

Anyway, the Tang army outside the city didn't react for a long time, so the sound shouldn't have been made by them.

But when a few people came to the man who had fallen from the wall, everyone was disappointed, for they all clearly saw that a dark red blood was spreading from under the body.

It's hopeless! Several people looked at each other and shook their heads at each other, but no one spoke!

Of course, it's not because they don't want to speak, it's because they have something stuffed all over their mouths, and then they are tied with ropes on the outside, and they can't say even if they want to.

This also explains why the man just fell from the wall without making a sound.

……

The companion who had fallen was finally caught up by several men who had found a few stones from under the city, tied them together with the broken rope that had fallen with him, and finally sank into the moat.

The purpose of these people going out of the city was to find reinforcements, so they couldn't let the Tang army outside the city find out that someone had come out, so they had to hide the dead companion, and the best place to hide the body was the bottomless moat.

Then, taking advantage of the night, the rest of the people quietly swam to the other side of the river, climbed ashore and disappeared into the darkness in the distance without hesitation.

And after they had disappeared for a long time, on the other side of the moat, not far from where they had come down, there was a sudden movement of thatch, and then two smiling faces appeared.

One of them elbowed his companion next to him, lowered his voice and said, "Pang Laosi, your kid is too damaged, if it weren't for your stone, that guy probably wouldn't have died, beware that he crawled back to you in the middle of the night." ”

"Phew, if he dares to come back, Lao Tzu will kill him again." The person called Pang Laosi pursed his lips slightly, and glanced at the moat in disgust: "Let's go, let's go back!" ”
