readx; Sun Changqing's mansion is not big, and it is not luxurious, among the many 'mansions' that Wei Hong has seen, it can only be ranked in the lower ninth rate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The only thing that could be called extravagant is the row of chimes placed on the east side of the main hall. While lamenting Sun Changqing's incorruptibility, Wei Hong was also very interested in the chime. The only thing Wei Hong knew about chimes was the understanding of a few words from TV. When they were in the capital, Fang Yizhi and Du He's house also had chimes, which were much larger and more high-grade than the bells of Sun Changqing's house.

In addition to the chimes, there are also some musical instruments on one side of the chime, which Wei Hong can recognize, such as the transverse flute, the reed sheng, the harp, and the pipa. I never thought that this Sun Changqing was not only incorruptible, but also a person who liked music and rhythm.

After a while, Wei Hong withdrew his gaze from the instrument and talked to Sun Changqing face to face, mostly about the recent border defense. After chatting for a while, they said that they had three poles, ate some food casually, and rested early, so as to eliminate the fatigue of the carriages and horses left behind.

The room where Wei Hong lived was not big, and the decoration inside was very simple, but it was more elegant. The bonsai, calligraphy and painting that can be seen everywhere, and the inscription of calligraphy and painting are all Sun Changqing's. Wei Hong doesn't know calligraphy, and he is also dissatisfied with the Chinese painting, half a bottle is dangling, and it is just a matter of looking at it a few times. went to bed, I don't know how long I slept, and a tight sound of gongs and drums woke Wei Hong from his sleep. When I woke up, I found that the house was pitch black, but there were countless lights flashing outside the window.

Looking at the firelight outside the window, the sleepy-eyed Wei Hong had a doubt in his heart, thinking that it could be that there was a fire somewhere? Just when Wei Hong was puzzled, the door was suddenly pushed open, and when the candle was lit, Sun Changqing, who was panicked, appeared in front of Wei Hong. Before Wei Hong could ask, he heard Sun Changqing trembling, and shouted in a trembling tone: "Mr. Wei, the big thing is not good!" Tuyuhun soldiers came to attack, and now the soldiers have come to the city. The local commander has already led his troops to fight Tuyuhun, so please ask Mr. Wei to come forward to supervise the battle! ”

Hearing this, Wei Hong was stunned and stunned, and only came back to his senses after a while. He rolled down from the bed with very vigorous movements, his eyes widened, he looked at Sun Changqing in disbelief, and asked, "Why is it so fast, didn't Tuyuhun come half a month later!" "Wei Hong got the news from Yan Ruyu, and after speculation, Tuyuhun would not attack Liangzhou until half a month later. All the pre-war preparations were drawn up according to this time limit, and at this time, Tuyuhun suddenly descended from the sky, which made Wei Hong at a loss.

How did Sun Changqing know when Tuyuhun would attack, and he didn't even know the details of Datang's use of troops against Tuyuhun. At this time, being asked by Wei Hong like this, Sun Changqing's eyes were a little red and swollen in a hurry, and he dragged and cried: "How do I know this, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Wei go to the city gate!" ”

During the day, Wei Hong felt good about Sun Changqing, and felt that Sun Changqing was honest and elegant. But at this time, when the catastrophe was coming, Sun Changqing showed a timid and fearful attitude, which surprised Wei Hong. really responded to that sentence, useless is a scholar.

Wei Hong didn't dare to delay more, put his clothes on his body indiscriminately, and followed Sun Changqing out of the door. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a sword coming from the east and waiting at the door. Wei Hong didn't talk nonsense, and let Yijian Donglai follow him. After a while, under the leadership of Sun Changqing, they arrived at the gate of Liangzhou City. When he was in the Assassination Mansion, Wei Hong still didn't feel any urgency. As a result, as soon as I arrived at the city gate, I listened to the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the firelight that could be seen everywhere, and the wounds that kept being carried down from the city walls. It wasn't until this moment that Wei Hong realized that everything was real, and this was not a joke Sun Changqing played on himself.

Under the leadership of Sun Changqing, he climbed the city wall and found Zhang Gui, the commander of Liangzhou. Zhang Gui is about forty years old, eight feet tall, with a big pumpkin-like face and long hair on the plate. Seeing Sun Changqing coming, Zhang Gui hurriedly reported the battle situation: "Lord Assassin Shi!" After some fighting, the last general roughly figured out the number of Tuyuhun's army, which was about 8,000 people. ”

Sun Changqing nodded again and again after hearing this, but didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Wei Hong as if asking for help, and his tone was almost begging: "Sir, what do you think?" ”

Wei Hong didn't answer, and saw the Liangzhou guards running back and forth, constantly shooting arrows under the city. Wei Hong walked to the eaves of the city wall and looked down. As a result, as soon as he walked to the outer eaves, an arrow flew past Wei Hong's ear. As a result, before Wei Hong could see the situation of the enemy army under the city, he was dragged back by Zhang Gui.

Zhang Guihu stared at Wei Hong, and roared with palpitations: "Sir, be careful, enemy arrows don't have long eyes!" ”

Helpless, Wei Hong could only ask Zhang Gui: "How many soldiers and horses are defending the city in Liangzhou now?" Do the enemy have siege engines? What is the ratio of the enemy's troops? ”

Zhang Gui said without hesitation: "Mr. Hui's words, our Liangzhou company with the government officers and soldiers, miscellaneous soldiers, and defenders, all of them are in chaos, and there are more than 2,000 people. Now there are 1,500 people here to defend Tuyuhun's frontal attack, and 500 people are guarding the back door to prevent Tuyuhun from sneaking attack. So far, no heavy siege equipment has been found for the enemy, but there are two ramming logs. "As soon as he said this, there were two loud 'booms' at the city gate, and it was obvious that the enemy had begun to crash into the city gate. Zhang Gui, who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time and was experienced, turned a blind eye to the loud rumbling sound in his ears, and continued: "The enemy army is all infantry! ”

Hearing this, Wei Hong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said to Zhang Guiyan behind his ear: "Tuyuhun is good at long-range attacks, although Tuyuhun came too early this time, but according to my news, these Tuyuhun troops are the vanguard army. Since it came quickly, we didn't realize it in the slightest, it must have come on horseback, not on foot! Presumably the horse was not far away. This time, Tugu Hun must have figured out the situation of the defenders in Liangzhou before he dared to launch a night attack! If the enemy army does not break the city and does not give up, with our 1,005 defenders against 8,000 Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, there is no chance of victory, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken! ”

Before Zhang Gui could speak, Sun Changqing trembled and said impatiently: "Then sir, what should we do?" ”

Wei Hong didn't even look at Sun Changqing, he felt that this guy couldn't help at all, why didn't he go home and get some sleep? It's just that he is afraid that Sun Changqing's official position is higher than his own, so he doesn't dare to make a mistake. Wei Hong put all his attention on Zhang Gui and said, "It is never wise to face the enemy head-on!" Now you immediately send 500 soldiers from the back gate, riding fast horses, sneaking out of the back gate, and go around to the rear of the enemy army to find the place where the enemy army placed their horses!
