This time the attack did not stop, after ten rounds of attacks, the Shenwei cannon was replaced with the longest-range No. 4 wooden bullet, the No. 4 pine wooden bullet weighing forty-five catties had a range of up to 700 steps, covering the center of the city of Yang and Ba.

Not only did most of the streets and houses in the middle of the city suffer from the natural fires, but even the palace residence of Ge Luofeng, which is located in the center of the city, was not spared. After spending a lot of money and manpower on Ge Luofeng, the gorgeous palaces and several pavilions built in accordance with the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty were on fire. A large number of barbarian maids and concubines living in the palace fled in panic to the safety of Dongcheng.

On the smoke-filled streets, the people of the city fled in all directions, crying and screaming, avoiding waves of fire and rain from the sky. The people in the square inside the east city gate crowded together, and the tide poured out of the city.

At the gate of the east city, Princess Aluo frowned and stood by the city gate, and her hundreds of guards and barbarians tried their best to maintain the order of the crowd. Princess Aluo's voice was already a little hoarse, but Ren reminded loudly: "Don't panic, don't trample on each other." The old man and the child went first, and after leaving the city, they went to Taihe City. I will order someone to open the dragon head and close the gate, and enlarge the men into the city. ”

A convoy of chariots and horses rushed out of the city gate, dozens of barbarian servants on horseback whipped and scolded, and the people fled one after another, and the order was in chaos. Ah Luo frowned and asked, "Who is messing around?" Stop them. ”

The barbarian guards stepped forward to stop the convoy that had fled from the door, and after the black car stopped, a woman's head full of silver ornaments stretched out from the carriage, and a full moon-like pink face was full of anxiety, and she scolded: "You are so bold, my car dares to stop it?" Don't get out of the way yet. ”

Princess A Luo recognized this person, that was Brother Ge Luofeng's favorite Princess Aguan, and it was Ah Luo's sister-in-law.

"Oh, Aaron? What are you doing here, why don't you hurry to Taihe City? Is this your person? Let them get out of the way and protect us as we go to Taihe City. Ah Wan saw Ah Luo and beckoned.

Ah Luo frowned and immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother is still leading the army to resist the enemy at the head of the city, how can you escape alone?" Does Brother know? ”

Ah Wan smiled embarrassedly: "It's all at this time, I can't take care of informing you brother, the palace is on fire, if I don't leave, will I wait to be burned to death?" Your brother didn't send anyone to take care of me, so I had to take care of myself. Tell those people to get out of the way, and you will come with me. ”

Ah Luo frowned and said: "Sister-in-law, the people go first, you are so rampage, others will say that we don't care about the lives of the people." ”

"When has it been, and what are you still talking about? If you don't go, I'll go, teach people to get out of the way. Ah Wan exclaimed, sinking his face.

A Luo waved his hand and said, "Come on, move the princess's car to the side and get out of the way, and the people will go first." From now on, those who do not obey the orders will be killed directly. ”

A group of barbarian guards stepped forward and forcibly pulled Concubine Aguan's car aside, out of the way of the congested lane, and the people immediately poured out of the city like a tide. Concubine Aguan leaned out and shouted, "Okay, you Ah Luo, what kind of majesty are you posing?" What do you pretend to love the people? Your brother has no ability, and if you cause such a big leak, everyone who is involved is about to die. Now that you are pretending to love the people, what are you doing earlier? Ge Luofeng, you bastard, you can't even protect your woman, what kind of hero are you? I think it's a bear. ”

Concubine Ah Wan jumped on the car and scolded, Ah Luo stepped forward with a gloomy face, and shouted in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, if you make trouble again, I'm not welcome." What are you saying as your brother's wife? On weekdays, I don't care about your business, but now that the national disaster is coming, as the wife of my Nanzhao lord, you can't calm down the people, and you still say these slanderous words? ”

"What? Can't you say? Am I not right? You are the princess of Erhai, aren't you amazing? The Tang people are attacking, can you retreat from the enemy? It's not like I fled in a hurry, and you didn't go with your brother to fight the Tang people. Less in this false seriousness. ”

Ah Luo's face turned pale, and he shouted coldly: "Someone, tie up this woman and gag her mouth." ”

"You dare! Your brother knows that you have done this to me, look at how he dealt with you, I am pregnant with your brother's flesh and blood. Ah Wan said angrily.

Ah Luo was stunned and said, "You have your brother's flesh and blood?" ”

"Exactly. In order to protect the flesh and blood of the lord, I want you to let me go immediately. Ah Wan said proudly.

"Tie up!" Ah Luo said in a deep voice.

"Okay, you Ah Luo, are you trying to harm your brother's flesh and blood?"

Ah Luo approached Ah Wan and said coldly in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, if you know each other, don't spill, obediently wait for the people to evacuate before leaving, and you still have time to escape." Don't scare me with my brother's flesh and bones, I don't know if it's my brother's flesh and bones. Don't think I don't know what you're doing. Don't think I don't know about the matter between you and the general Ah Hu, I didn't expose you for the sake of the harmony of my Nanzhao country. Brother likes you so much, I don't want Brother to be sad. If you are not disciplined again, I will personally cut off your head to worship the ghosts and gods and wash away the shame of my brother. Do you hear me clearly? ”

Ah Wan's face turned pale, and he was stunned and quickly shrank into the carriage and lowered the curtain. Ah Luo sighed, turned around and continued to direct the people to evacuate.

……

On the west city gate, when the firebombs of the Tang army fell into the city at a very long distance, Ge Luofeng on the head of the city watched half of the city become a sea of fire, and the horror in his heart was indescribable. The general Ah Hu was also dumbfounded on the side, and he never expected that the distance thrown by the Tang Army's trebuchet would be so far. What's even more terrifying is that if you throw a stone projectile down, this hellish rain of fire is really the nemesis of this city, and it will be seen that the entire city will be spread into a sea of fire.

The endless bombardment of firebombs came to an end, but Ge Luofeng and Ah Hu were horrified to see that the Tang army was busy by the trebuchet. Seemingly dismantling the wooden stake fixed next to the trebuchet, Ge Luofeng wondered, "What are they going to do?" Retired soldiers? ”

Ah Hu swallowed and foamed, "I'm afraid not." They may be trying to move their position. Lord, something really bad is going on, if they advance three hundred paces away, the entire city will be destroyed. It's useless for us to defend this city. The range of our bed crossbow is so short that it has become an ornament. ”

Ge Luofeng stretched out his hand and slammed the rammed earth of the city wall, and said angrily: "You all say that Daddy is wise and martial, and the bed crossbows that have been exchanged for so much are all broken things that are not as long as the crossbow arrows of the Tang Army. On the bank of Lushui that day, the Tang army had a Fuyuan crossbow with a range of more than 400 paces, but he didn't get any of them. The Tang Dynasty and the Tubo people should have taken advantage of it, and now it has become all decorations. It's just stupid. ”

In a fit of rage, Ge Luofeng even scolded his dead father.

"Lord, don't talk about this now, we can't watch the Tang army approach the stone thrower, their goal is to burn down my entire city, I'm afraid we won't be able to do this and wait at the head of the city."

"You are a general, I trust you very much, others need to be reported when they come and go in and out of my side, you can enter and exit my palace at any time and anywhere. The previous living generals of Abao did not have this privilege of you. I rely on you so much, this is when you find a way to get out of the siege. ”

Ah Hu pondered for a moment and said: "Lord, we must destroy these trebuchets of the Tang Army, I think, it is better for us to make a desperate bet and suddenly go out of the city to fight them head-on, just like Ah Luo that day, a surprise move may save the defeat." We also have nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, and we have not lost any losses so far. Moreover, the treasure at the bottom of our box has not come in handy yet. Let's fight to the death. ”

"Desperate? If we are defeated, what can we do to defend Taihe City? If we lose here, we still have Taihe City to defend, and if we lose the frontal battle, we will be all finished. "Although Ge Luofeng's mind is full of mush, he has not yet lost his last sanity.

"Is the lord of the country afraid? Then let's give up this city immediately and withdraw to Taihe City. Or the lord of the country went to negotiate peace with Wang Yuan, but Wang Yuan said that he would not give us a chance anymore. Or if we do it vigorously, even if we lose, it will be upright, which is better than putting up with the Tang people's guilt here. In short, all the lords of the country decide, Ah Hu is listening to the orders of the lord of the country anyway, and if he wants to fight, he will withdraw, and the lord of the country will decide. ”

Ge Luofeng lowered his head and pondered, seeing that the Tang army on the opposite side was slowly pushing the trebuchet forward, looking at the blazing city behind him, Ge Luofeng didn't know what to do at all.

"Lord, in my opinion, sooner or later, we and the Tang people will have to fight head-on. If you give up this city and let the Tang army come to Taihe City, these stone throwers of the Tang army will also burn Longshouguan to the ground. Longshou Pass is not even as strong as this sheep and Baa City. At that time, they will still have to fight to the death. If you want to fight to the death, it is better to fight to the death here. The mountains and forests on both sides of this place are still our retreat. If you lose, you won't have nowhere to retreat. But if Taihe City is defeated, there are Zhonghe Peak and Erhai Lake on the left and right, and there is a narrow dragon head and dragon tail pass in front and back, and the terrain cannot be retreated. Ah Hu chattered in Ge Luofeng's ear.

Ge Luofeng took a deep breath, straightened his chest, exhaled the turbid qi in his chest and said, "What you said is very reasonable, at this time, you can't think too much about it." You immediately reorganize the army, let's give the Tang army a surprise attack, and completely end the situation in front of us. ”

Ah Hu arched his hand and said loudly: "The lord of the country is wise, Ah Hu will go and prepare." If the Tang army is defeated in this battle, the lord of the country will be powerful. ”

Ah Hu bowed and exited the tower, with a strange smile on his face.
