"Lord Tang, it's not good!"

The tone was full of panicked loud voice, waking up the sleeping Bianjing City.

Ma Shang led like a wild horse to Tang An's temporary tent all the way, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

Tang An, who had not slept all night, lifted the tent and said unhappily: "What is so flustered?" After mixing with Lao Tzu for so long, I still don't have the temperament of Mount Tai collapsing in front of me and not changing my face. “

Ma Shang held his knees and panted, pointed to the city wall and said: "There are a lot of rebels outside, I have a cursory look, there are at least fifty or sixty thousand people!" “

Tang An's knees were weak, and he almost fell to his knees, Taishan hadn't collapsed yet, he was already about to collapse.

Lao Tzu took a lot of effort to destroy more than 10,000 people, and in a blink of an eye, there were 30,000 more, relying on the number of people to bully people, isn't it?

In the camp, all the soldiers had obviously received the news, and their resolute faces were full of despair. With 5,000 against 60,000, how can this battle be fought!

"Lord Tang, are you alright?"

Tang An barely supported his legs and didn't fall, shook his head and said, "Fuck, it's just that after one night, where did these people come from?" ”

Ma Shangshu explained: "The brothers from the Nantong Gate came to report that the rebels outside the gate had disappeared cleanly overnight, and all the reinforcements had been sent to the other three city gates. “

Tang An sank his face, and after a little thought, he understood the intention of Dongfang Yuanxing's move.

Surround three without one, gather living forces to attack the three city gates with all their might, as long as one gate is lost, the overall rout of the Tang army will only be a matter of time. And leaving a living gate is to tell the defenders in the city: If you want to live, leave from the south gate as soon as possible!

First, the defenders were crippled and firmly grasped the initiative in the war. Then, in the case of an extremely unfavorable form for the Tang army, all the defenders were given a glimmer of life and the will of the opponent was disintegrated. As long as one person becomes a deserter in order to survive, the Tang defenders will be completely defeated. ran out before waiting for the developer, how can Bianjing City be guarded?

Such a seven-inch attack tactic can easily create a gap in the psychology of the defenders who originally held the coexistence and death of Bianjing.

Fox-like cunning old thing!

Seeing that everyone's momentum was low, Chen Buping raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, Lord Tang has already explained the truth to us very clearly, Bianjing City is safe, and the Tang Dynasty can last forever!" For the sake of our relatives and our country, even if we fight to the last breath, we must fight to the death! “

"No, Brother Chen......"

Tang An waved his hand to Chen Buping happily and sighed: "The brothers have paid enough, this city gate... We're not going to keep it. “

The crowd was shocked.

Through this period of contact, everyone knows Tang An's love for Datang, otherwise he would not have sneaked into the desert alone, risking his life to take an unknown Datang to join the army and fight thousands of miles, just to send them back to their hometown.

is such a person, but he personally said the three words "don't keep it". The soldiers looked at each other, thinking for a moment that they had misheard.

Ji Chen looked stunned and said, "Big brother, you've just been... Say what? “

"I said-no, keep!" Tang An repeated the original words loudly, looked at the humiliated and unbelievable faces, sighed, and said, "I know what you have done for this country and this city. There are already many brothers who have slept in the ground forever, and the heroic souls are still three feet above us. If you give up at this juncture, you may be unwilling, and to be honest - I am not reconciled either! Who wants to let a thief into the city? Who wants all their hard work to go down the drain? “

"If they don't keep it, I'll keep it!"

Behind Tang An, Mu Jingfeng, who was dressed in white, walked out slowly. His face was calm, and his tone was even calmer, as if he was not facing thousands of troops, but an immature scholar.

"Yes, we still have Master Mu!"

The eyes of the soldiers who didn't know about the loss of his martial arts lit up, and with this No. 1 master of the Tang Dynasty in charge, they seemed to have regained the courage to speak around the enemy.

Tang An said: "Master Mu, I know that you have a sincere heart, and you can't bear to see the people in the midst of fire and water. But there were not six people on the other side, but sixty thousand! The meaning of your existence is far greater than you think, so don't make unnecessary sacrifices. If you have to keep it, I want you to guard the palace gates, just like you did thirteen years ago. “

Mu Jingfeng frowned and said, "What about the city gate?" What about the people of the city? “

"That's exactly what I'm going to say."

Mu Rong, who was hiding on the side, held Mu Junli's little hand tightly, the two men she cared about the most in her life seemed to have a difference of opinion, but she didn't know who to help.

Defending against the enemy outside the city gate, even Mu Jingfeng in his heyday couldn't do it, let alone him now. But let the enemy in and listen to Su Mei'er's tone... The rebel leader must kill Tang An again.

Is it possible that there is no way to have it both ways?

She was stupid and couldn't figure out such a complicated issue, so her eyes regained focus and were firmly fixed on Tang An.

This bad guy has always been the most one by one, and he must be able to think of a way to get the best of both worlds!

Tang An took a deep breath, glanced around, and suddenly fell to his knees with a "poof", and said, "I, Tang An, am sorry for you!" “

Everyone was taken aback, Ji Chen dragged him up and said, "Big brother, what are you doing?" You are the benefactor of our brothers, without your clever plan, the people from outside would have come in long ago! You ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly found that Tang An's eyes were red, and he swallowed the second half of the sentence stiffly.

Tang An's voice was a little choked, and he said, "I feel very guilty that I haven't told you some things all the time. The rebels of the old thieves in the east may come in at any time, and I am afraid that if I don't say these words, I will not have the face to face those dead brothers when I go underground in the future, so I must say it. ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Tang An stood up, pondered for a moment, and slowly said an extremely cruel truth.

"In fact, from the very beginning, we have been treated as outcasts!"

The soldiers were still complaining about Tang An, but when they heard such heavy words, they froze in place at the same time.

There was a dead silence.

They threw their heads and spilled their blood for the Tang Dynasty, endured the pain of saying goodbye to their families, and tried their best to defend this city that symbolizes the Tang Dynasty, but in the end, they ...... They were discarded without hesitation?

They need an explanation - immediately, right away!

Tang An obviously saw everyone's thoughts, and said, "I said before that if we lose this battle, the entire Western Regions will immediately be included in the territory of the Xia Kingdom. At that time, without the natural danger barrier, and the internal emptiness of Datang, the beard will use this as a springboard to directly enter the hinterland of my Datang! Our relatives will be devastated by the war, and Datang will be drowned in history! This is not alarmism, but a fact before our eyes! “

"Therefore, in order to be able to completely annihilate the Far Journey to the East, the emperor made a very painful but had to make a choice."

Tang An wiped a handful of tears and said, "We all saw a unit in the city before, but we didn't know what they were doing. Let me tell you: they are the ones who are in charge of this war! And we are to consume the strength of the Far Journey to the East, so that he will take it lightly, and have the illusion that if we kill us, we will take Bianjing City in one fell swoop. “

"The eastern journey is menacing, if he can't be completely defeated, when he retreats to the south safely, the Tang Dynasty will present a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, and it will also give Xia and Qi an opportunity. In order to make the interior stable, the leader of the thieves with strong appeal - the Oriental Journey must die! How can I finish him off completely? Only bring him to Bianjing City. “

"Datang needs a bait......" Tang An swallowed his saliva and said the answer that everyone didn't want to hear with great bitterness.

"There is no doubt that we are the bait ......"
