Just when Xue Ne reported the news to Gao Kan, Li Xian also performed light skills, returned to the barracks alone, and then immediately rushed outside Pang Tongshan's barracks.

"I don't know what the chief manager has to do when he comes here late at night?" The guards outside the big tent were Pang Tongshan's personal soldiers, who had seen Li Xian's bravery when Jian Mu Cen attacked the camp before, and now that he saw Li Xian, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked with a smile on his face.

But he heard Li Xian arch his hand and said: "This king has something important to see General Pang, and he also asks this brother to report." ”

Seeing that Li Xian was so polite, the guard was moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the villain will go to see General Pang immediately, but it is late at night, and General Pang has already entered the account to rest, I am afraid that I will have to wait a little longer......"

Li Xian couldn't help but be furious when he heard the news, and immediately shouted: "If you wait a little longer, I'm afraid the city has already been destroyed, how can this Pang Tongshan be so hateful, wait for this king to go in and call it up in person." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xian opened the tent and prepared to go in.

But he saw that the guard stopped and said, "Chief Administrator, this matter is probably inappropriate, right?" Where is the responsibility of the villain, I dare not stop it, and I ask the chief manager to forgive me...... Ah.......h

Before the guard finished speaking, he was pushed away by Li Xian, and then saw Li Xian break into the big tent, and he was stunned on the spot, and he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Li Xian's loud shout was already heard in the tent: "Pang Tongshan, what time is this, you are actually drinking in the tent?" Quickly get up to this king, the enemy army is coming, immediately send troops to the head of the city, go to the city to guard, if the new city is missing, this king will chop off the head of the dog! ”

If it had been changed before, Li Xian spoke in such a tone, Pang Tongshan would have been angry a long time ago, but now seeing Li Xian say this, he stood respectfully in front of Li Xian, and said with a wry smile: "The general manager is angry, the last general is just depressed in his heart, so he secretly drinks to relieve his boredom, the last general is not a god, and he doesn't know that there are thieves attacking the city, please rest assured, the last general will send troops to the city to defend the new city, unless the last general dies, the new city will never be lost." ”

After finishing speaking, Pang Tongshan immediately stood up, hurriedly shouted to the left and right soldiers, and immediately notified the big and small generals, and the whole army immediately assembled, boarded the city to guard, and if there was a momentary delay, it would be immediately killed.

Li Xian saw that Pang Tongshan's attitude was okay, and his cold face eased slightly, and then said: "This time the enemy army is large, I can't do my best, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist, this king plans to transfer my palace guards to help defend the city, and I also hope that General Pang will distribute weapons and equipment horses." ”

"Huh? This, the king, when Li Sikong was leaving, he clearly explained to the last general, don't let the king fight, the king is now bent on going his own way, if Li Sikong blames him, how can the last general explain? Pang Tongshan saw that Li Xian really couldn't hold back his temperament and wanted to join the war, and he suddenly secretly complained in his heart, his face became ugly, and he said with a wry smile.

But seeing Li Xian say loudly: "Li Sikong, there is an explanation from this king, so I will say, whether to give this weapon, horse and equipment or not?" If you don't give it, the king will lead these soldiers to fight empty-handed. ”

"The king is angry, can't he give it at the end?" Pang Tongshan knew that Li Xian couldn't listen to his persuasion at all at this time, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, and then said: "But the king needs to agree, he can only fight in the city, not out of the city, otherwise the general would rather die than obey his fate." ”

"This matter is easy to do, and this king agrees." Li Xian smiled, but he did not refuse Pang Tongshan's kindness, because he knew that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, although he agreed, but if he really didn't listen, what could he do?

Pang Tongshan is also a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and now seeing that although Li Xian agreed, he was insincere, and he had no choice, so he secretly decided to send more people to protect this troublesome little ancestor.

At this time, the army had been mobilized, and Pang Tongshan immediately set off after hearing the news, led his troops to the city to fight, and specially ordered to allocate 300 guards from the left military camp under his command to Li Xian, responsible for protecting Li Xian's safety.

Li Xian saw that the 300 people were with him, so he naturally knew Pang Tongshan's good intentions, but he didn't say anything, and took all the 300 people as ordered, plus the 200 royal guards around him, and put together an elite team of 500 people.

At this time, I suddenly saw two people dressed as guards come to the front and asked Li Xian in unison: "King, since there is a war tonight, why don't you notify me and wait?" ”

Li Xian smiled awkwardly when he saw these two people, and hurriedly pulled the two aside, and said in a low voice: "Old General Cheng, fairy child, what are you two doing again?" ”

But I heard Dou Xiantong say: "How can it be called fun? Now that the war has started and the whole army has moved, how can we, as the guards of the general manager, not go into battle with the commander to kill the enemy? ”

Cheng Yanjin also smiled and said: "What the little girl said is good, although I am old, I am loyal and brave, the king dares to compare with the old man, which of you and I have killed more enemies in this battle?" ”

It turned out that this Lao Cheng's eyes were vicious, and he had long seen that Dou Xiantong was dressed as a woman, but he never said it, and he only said it today.

Li Xian didn't feel strange when he heard the words of the two, and after a little thought, he said: "General Cheng Lao went into battle with this king to kill the enemy, and the fairy child stayed, although my Chinese army tent is just an ornament, but someone must stay behind, otherwise once it is broken by the enemy, it will greatly reduce morale, and the people's hearts will fluctuate during the war, in case someone in the city is for its internal support, the situation will be critical." Therefore, you still have to work harder, find a way to find out the traitors in the city, assassinate them, and will definitely be able to stabilize the situation in the city and turn the city into safety, the stakes are very high, and only you can do it. ”

In the end, Li Xian's voice was extremely soft, for Dou Xiantong, this can have great lethality, plus what Li Xian said is also reasonable, Dou Xiantong is not a person who does not know the importance of it, so he had to nod and agree, and then said to Cheng Yanjin: "Old man Cheng, I will hand over this guy to the honorable driver, if there is any mistake, not to mention the holy driver, I will definitely find a way to take the old man's life." ”

What Dou Xiantong said was extremely unpleasant, but Cheng Yanjin also knew that the relationship between this person and Li Xian was extraordinary, so he didn't care about it at all, but said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lao Cheng guarantees his life and absolutely guarantees the safety of the king." ”

Dou Xiantong saw Cheng biting the gold guarantee, so he put his mind at ease, glanced at Li Xian reluctantly, and then gritted his teeth and prepared to leave, but was unexpectedly stopped by Li Xian, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Er Mo has figured it out, let me go with you?" ”

saw Li Xian shake his head and said, "This matter has already been decided, how can it be changed?" However, I was worried that you would be too tired, so I allocated thirty guards of my palace to you. ”

When Dou Xiantong heard this, his happy face suddenly showed a little gloom, and then waved his hand and said: "No need, it is a burden to have these people with you, it is convenient for me to be alone, you should take care of yourself in this battle, if there is a scar when you come back, just wait to accept the punishment of this girl." After finishing speaking, Dou Xiantong ran away without looking back, and then slowly disappeared into the dark night.

"Whose daughter is this girl? is so arrogant, hehe, I'm afraid the king will suffer in the future. Looking at the back of Dou Xiantong leaving, Cheng Yanjin said meaningfully.

"Hehe, this is just a village girl that Xiao Wang rescued from the hands of human traffickers, and the countrymen don't know how to count, which makes the old general smile."

"Oh? I don't know which country has such an outstanding village girl? I don't know which trafficker dares to plunder someone with such good martial arts? Cheng Yanjin glanced at Li Xian with a smile, as if he didn't believe it.

Li Xian naturally knew that Cheng Yanjin didn't believe it, but he didn't explain, and Cheng Yanjin didn't ask again, and the two tacitly laughed.

After Li Xian finished laughing, he led Cheng Yanjin to the front of the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, now that the enemy is coming, the new city is in danger, we have the emperor's order, so we naturally want to promise the country with our bodies, and in today's battle, we vow to fight with the thieves to the end." Listen to my orders, go into battle with me to kill the enemy, and those who have made meritorious contributions will not be rewarded generously by this king, who violates military orders, and who will not be afraid of the enemy, and will not be forgiven. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xian straddled his horse and carried a gun, took the lead, and led the soldiers to the head of the city to meet the enemy.

When Li Xian's soldiers came to the city, the battle had already begun, because the weather was now cold, the moat had long been frozen, so the enemy army did not take much effort to cross the moat, set up a ladder, and began a fierce siege, only to see under the moonlight, a pair of enemy soldiers stepped on the ladder, crazy climbing the city wall, some have come to the city, and the defenders of the city started a hand-to-hand combat.

Li Xian and his troops are now almost firefighters, rushing wherever the situation is critical, and destroying the enemy troops rushing up at the head of the city.

Fortunately, the enemy's siege equipment is limited to the ladder, and Gao Kan and Pang Tongshan can also be regarded as famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, rich in experience in defending the city, although the number of defenders is relatively small, but they also issue orders in an orderly manner, plus Pang Tongshan and Li Xian personally appeared in the bloody battle at the head of the city, which greatly boosted the morale of the Tang army, so the city can be defended for a while.

But this does not mean that there is no problem, after all, the new city has just suffered a long-term offensive and defensive battle, the city defense is damaged, and there is no time to repair it, and even a section of the city wall in the south of the city has been seriously damaged, and it is too late to repair it in a hurry, Gao Kan just ordered someone to build a section of wooden fence there.

And it was this wooden fence that became the key to the enemy's breakthrough of the city defense.

Originally, the enemy general was waiting for the city to open the city gate for the siege, but after waiting for a long time there was no movement, so he realized that things had changed, and in desperation he had to order the soldiers to disperse and look everywhere for flaws.

The enemy general was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately ordered a force to pretend to attack the city to confuse the Tang army, and then attacked Muzha with the main force, breaking through the city defense in one fell swoop and capturing the new city.

Due to the weak defense of the city at the place of Muzha, Gao Kan actually sent heavy troops to garrison, but because there were few soldiers in the city, the so-called heavy troops were only 2,000 people, which was really insignificant for the more than 20,000 enemy troops who rushed in, so as soon as Muzha was destroyed, these soldiers were immediately slaughtered by the enemy.

"Quick, go and report to the general, the enemy army has broken through the wall, and quickly send troops to help." Knowing that the situation was critical, the garrison guard at the wooden fence immediately shouted at his own soldiers.
