However, since their generals did not order a retreat, they could only continue to advance in the rain of arrows??? ? Huoran? Wen?? ???．? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? As a result, in a short period of time, hundreds of casualties were killed. Seeing this scene, the Tibetan generals standing in the rear hurriedly let the soldiers with shields rush to the front to resist the rain of arrows shot down from the city wall.

However, as soon as these shield-wielding soldiers came to the bottom of the city wall, they saw dozens of black balls falling from the city wall without warning. At the moment when these Tibetan soldiers were puzzled, the black ball had already fallen to the ground. I only heard dozens of loud noises, but when I saw these soldiers rushing to the front, I didn't know where they were blown up in an instant.

After seeing this scene, the Tubo generals in the rear were full of shock, but when they came back to their senses, they saw that nearly half of the Tubo soldiers had been wiped out by the other party. Seeing this scene, they hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to retreat immediately, and if they continued to fight, I am afraid that all the soldiers would be killed before they could reach the gates of the city.

Although these Tibetan soldiers retreated, the deputy city lord of the holy city did not let the city gate be opened, after all, who knows if the other party really retreated. If they're hiding outside, it's not good to let them rush in once the gates are wide open.

However, when Lu Chen came over, he didn't find any trace of the Tibetan soldiers outside. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to send a few hundred city guards to search around, and if there were really other Tibetan soldiers outside, let them retreat immediately, after all, it was not clear how many Tibetan soldiers had come from here.

Moreover, from the description of the previous deputy city lord, Lu Chen could also hear that these soldiers sent by the other party should be to find the two people who disappeared before. After thinking of this, Lu Chen became even more curious about the time on this letter. What kind of agreement is it that makes these Tibetans go to such great lengths to find the person who sent the letter?

Although Lu Chen is not too interested in these things of the Tubo people. But now he had to figure out what was going to happen on the night of the next full moon. After all, now that the Holy City has been discovered, the person who sent the letter on the other side has also disappeared in this area, and the two will be easily linked.

Therefore, now Lu Chen must now figure out what will happen on the night of the full moon next year. Only when he knew the importance of this matter could he determine the attitude of the Tibetans and formulate corresponding countermeasures. Now Lu Chen doesn't want to start a war with the other party, after all, Lu Chen's strength is too weak now, and even self-protection is a bit difficult, let alone fighting abroad.

Lu Chen thought for a while, and finally decided to write a letter to the leader of Tubo first, if the other party was willing to reconcile with him, Lu Chen would return the two captives of the other party, and the content of the other party's letter, Lu Chen would never leak it.

After Lu Chen finished writing the letter, he immediately sent a soldier to Tubo to deliver the letter.

Of course, if the other party insisted on not letting go of this matter, Lu Chen was not afraid of them, after all, now that the defense system of the Holy City had been gradually improved, even if there were six or seven thousand enemy troops, it would be impossible to break through the city.

Even if tens of thousands of troops come and finally break through the city, I'm afraid their casualties will be more than half. Lu Chen believed that the Tibetan generals would not fail to see the facts. As for how to choose, it's up to them, anyway, Lu Chen is already ready for both.

The soldier who was the messenger returned two days after he had been sent out. When he returned, the soldier handed Lu Chen a letter. After Lu Chen took the letter, he saw that it was written that they were willing to make friends with the Holy City, but because the letter was very important, their Tibetan army would send people to monitor the Holy City in this valley. During this period, the people of the holy city were forbidden to go out, and the Tibetan soldiers were also allowed to enter the city to prevent people from digging into the ground and escaping to deliver letters.

After seeing a hint of the Tibetan general, Lu Chen just sneered. If they do this, I am afraid that the Holy City will instantly become a city in Tibet. Just allowing the Tibetan army to enter the Holy City, Lu Chen could not agree.

Since the other party didn't really want to negotiate with him, he could only speak with a sword. Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately called the captain of the city guards, first inquired about the current situation of the city defense in the holy city, and then told him that in the past few days, he must be strictly guarded. After all, once the enemy army is allowed to attack, there is nowhere to flee in this valley. Therefore, Lu Chen has to fight even if he doesn't want to fight now.

While Lu Chen was quietly preparing, the Tibetan army was gradually approaching them. When the city guards on the mountain range will find out about the situation of the Tibetan soldiers, report it to Lu Chen. Lu Chen didn't seem too panicked, but said very calmly, "It's okay, the other party underestimates our strength too much, just more than 10,000 Tubo soldiers want to annex the Holy City, they think too much!" ”

After speaking, Lu Chen asked the captain of the Holy City City Guards to check the Holy City's defense system first to prevent the other party from having the slightest loophole. Wait until this captain has carefully checked all the measures, and after making sure that everything is correct, he came back to report the specific situation of the city defense system to Lu Chen.

After hearing that the Holy City's defense system was intact, Lu Chen nodded slightly, and said, "You must be vigilant these days, especially around this city, once a stranger appears, you must pay attention." If you feel something is wrong, come back and report it immediately! ”

After hearing Lu Chen's order, the captain of the city guard army promised to go out.

As Lu Chen expected, in the afternoon of the same day, he saw the captain of the city guard come back again. He came back this time, holding a letter in his hand, and said, "City Lord, this is a letter from the Tibetan side."

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately sighed lightly, and then took the letter with some surprise. When he opened the letter, he saw that it was written on it, which was similar to what the previous messenger had described, that is, to ask him to hand over the holy city, and the Tibetan army could not burn and loot. And if they keep the city gates closed, then don't let the Tibetan army be ruthless!

After seeing this content, Lu Chen did not hesitate at all, and directly tore up the letter, and said in a very affirmative tone, "Even if the Holy City finally falls, we will fight to the end!" Since they are not sincere, we are not easy to mess with! ”

After hearing Lu Chen's words, the soldier immediately answered the promise and retreated. From Lu Chen's tone, he already knew Lu Chen's attitude.

In the following days, the more than 2,500 city guards in the holy city were divided into three groups, each of which took turns patrolling and standing guard. As soon as they notice the slightest disturbance outside the city, they will immediately take emergency measures!
