In the city of Jingzhou, the soldiers were carrying out the last wave of supplies, everyone washed their faces and hands, and was eating hot rice and stews, for fear of being found in the mountains, they all ran to a far away place to burn the rice with a small fire, and many times the rice was either undercooked or cold. And they knew it might be their last meal, and everyone ate without a word.

Li Chengqian also came over at an inopportune time, and asked with some worry: "Why did you bring them back, if the city can't take it, you can still go over the mountain and leave, if you stay in the city, you won't have a chance to leave!" ”

Xiangxin said while eating porridge: "We can't do anything outside, why don't we defend the city with you, can we really watch you die in battle, and we are deserters?" That's impossible! ”

Li Chengqian also knew that at this time, the wood had become a boat and no longer said more, looking at the wolf-gobbling soldiers, Li Chengqian said: "Don't be like this, General Cheng, they are already on the way, if nothing else, they will probably arrive in half a day, so we only need to hold for half a day, and this war will be won!" ”

Xiangxin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and asked Tang Xin on the side: "Is there any oil or anything like that in this city, I will paint the city wall in a while, and if it doesn't work, I will ignite him, and I can hold it for a while!" ”

Tang Xin nodded, and hurriedly said: "The oil in the city has long been moved to the city wall, and a lot of stones and stakes have been prepared in the past few days, which should be able to hold for a while, and the people in the city have also been evacuated, if the Turks really kill it, only we will be there!" ”

Chengxin glanced at Li Chengqian on the side, pointed at him and asked Tang Xindao, "Is this all arranged by him?" ”

Tang Xin nodded, looking at Li Chengqian, who was still saying words of encouragement to the soldiers, he couldn't help but sigh: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really impressed me these days, if it weren't for him in the city, Jingzhou City at this time would have become an empty city, and everyone would not be guarding it in unison like this." ”

Satisfaction no longer spoke, at this time he only had endless complaints about himself, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't remember the formula of gunpowder, how could the war be so difficult at this time.

The second prince on the Turkic side saw Ashina Muyun, whose leg was already lame, and saw the second prince holding Ashina Muyun's collar, looking at Ashina Muyun with bloodshot eyes and saying, "What did you do?" I gave you 10,000 elite soldiers, how did you bring them! Why are you the only one who survived! ”

Ashina Muyun didn't have the strength to answer the words of the second Turkic prince, but the soldiers on the side said: "Second Highness Qiqi, the sixth prince was tied to a tree before, and he is seriously injured at this time and is unable to answer your words!" ”

The second Turkic prince looked at his injuries, and then said, "Help him down, and if he wakes up, remember to tell me!" ”

Ashina Muyun was carried down by the soldiers and sent to a camp tent that had been built, and suddenly there was an extra person in the camp tent, and he was carefully pushing Ashina Muyun at this time, "Sixth prince, six princes, are you okay, it's me!" ”

Ashina Muyun opened his eyes, looked at the familiar person in front of him and sighed, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, the soldier also panicked, and thought that Ashina Muyun had suffered some abuse, and hurriedly comforted: "The prince is fine, we are about to capture Jingzhou City, and then we will arrest those people to avenge you!" ”

Ashina Muyun shook his head and didn't explain, but looked at this man with firm eyes: "I know the cause of the eighth brother's death, you go outside to contact our people, as long as you see a defeat, immediately take me back!" ”

The soldier was very obedient, and immediately nodded and left, ready to go out to contact.

Ashina Muyun, staring closely at the roof of the big tent, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep, for so many days, under the guard of Xiangxin and others, he just got a little rice porridge, and the rest of the food naturally did not have his share, and it was normal to have no strength.

The second prince was also full of doubts at this time, he didn't know how Ashina Muyun survived, but he was still very confident in what he did, no matter how much Ashina Muyun knew, he was powerless to change at this time, and as long as he captured Jingzhou City, then the remaining Turkic soldiers and horses would soon arrive.

And the second prince firmly believes that the Tang Dynasty is already in chaos at this time, not only because of the assassination of King Wu, but also because those who have been entrenched in the Tang Dynasty will definitely not give up this opportunity and will definitely take action.

The fire burned quickly, the sky darkened little by little, night fell, tonight was different from the previous days, there was no light under the dark clouds, and suddenly the breeze turned into a violent wind, and the Turks were simply against the wind.

The raindrops also came with the wind, extinguishing the fire that was already left, and the second prince ordered someone to touch it through the rain, wanting to know if he would be poisoned and fainted, only to see the soldier quietly pass over the corpse, and when he was about to reach the foot of Jingzhou City, he suddenly fell down heavily.

The second prince was shocked, could it be that the smell had not dissipated, and his fire attack technique was useless.

Fortunately, there was a rope tied to this person, and the Turks worked together to pull this person back, but found that this person was hit by an arrow in the chest, only to know that the poison had been resolved, and seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the second prince ordered an attack.

Although everyone could not see the progress of the Turks in the dark night, they could also know the location of these people by listening to the sound of their steps, and the archers of the prince's palace soldiers, all of whom were experienced in a hundred battles, roughly estimated the position, and everyone put arrows according to the established tactics.

In order to prevent the Turks from attacking the city, Xiangxin and others went to block the city gate after eating, and the back of the city gate at this time was no longer empty, but became a thick stone wall, that is to say, if the Turks wanted to attack the city, they could only climb the city wall, otherwise they would not be able to enter.

A round of arrows rained out, and the Turkic arrows finally responded with a wave of arrows, but the sky was too dark, and they didn't know the location of the Tang soldiers on the city wall at all, but the Tang soldiers could guess their location, which was the advantage of occupying the high point.

The two waves of arrows of the Turks were either knocked out by the rain or shot on the city wall, and they all felt that their bows and arrows were ineffective at this time, and the leader hurriedly ordered: "Archers, don't let go of arrows, the wind is too strong for us to attack, pick up your sword and prepare to attack the city!" ”

On the city of Jingzhou, the arrows were quickly exhausted, and they didn't know how many Turkic lives they had taken with the wind, but they knew that the first wave was their own victory.

Just when they were happy, the ladder suddenly reached the city wall, and everyone hurried to push the ladder, and the Turks also pressed it deadly below, and ordered: "Push the ladder down, pour oil down!" ”

Cheng Chumo asked on the side: "You can't light the oil on this rainy day, why pour it out!" ”

Satisfaction gave him a blank look and said: "Pouring oil makes their ladder slippery, they can't see it in the first place, if they can't grasp it firmly, they still want to go to the wall?" ”

Saying that, the oil drums and stones flew down, many Turks died under the city wall without knowing what was happening, and the ladders were pushed back by everyone, and the Turkic leaders were still leading people to slam the city gate with siege stakes, but they didn't give any feedback at all, they just felt that it was not a gate but more like a wall.

In this way, a tug-of-war began completely, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty occupied a huge advantage by virtue of the darkness and wind, but the darkness will eventually dawn, the wind and rain will stop, and the Turks at this time are still climbing to the city wall in a steady stream, the ladder is pushed and set back, and the sleeve arrow flying knife on the body of the heart does not know where to fly at this time, and Li Chengqian's rattan armor is also stained with blood at this time, and the tragedy of the battle can be imagined.

Seeing that the Turkic people who were secretly numb had gathered under the city wall because of dawn, but Xiangxin and the others had no strength, Xiangxin looked at Li Chengqian helplessly and said: "Let's withdraw, there may still be a glimmer of life!" ”

Li Chengqian didn't speak, but Tang Xin said on the side: "You two go, let's stay and defend the city, and when we see General Cheng, remember to let him avenge us!" ”

Hiding in the back of the heart house, he looked at them with tears on his face and said, "Why bother, it won't take long for us to come back if we leave now!" When you die, there's nothing! ”

Tang Xin didn't look at him, and while trying his last strength, he said: "If this city is taken by them, if we want to take it back, we will have to pay at least five times more troops than them, you see that we have less than 5,000 people, we are about to kill more than 10,000 of them in a few hours, if they can't climb up, the city will be destroyed long ago!" ”

Li Chengqian, who was on the side, also gambled, and did not want to be a deserter, but he only wanted them to save their lives, after all, life is the most important thing.

Seeing that the soldiers could no longer hold on, he said: "Implement the second plan, everyone will go down the city wall and return to the city to fight the blockade!" ”

Tang Xin's group didn't react, but the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion thought of the previous battle when they blocked the Turks in the woods, and they all looked at each other and found that they wanted to live in each other's eyes.

Cheng Chumo also said on the side: "Everyone's last wave of strength, push these ladders down for me, and then go down to the city!" ”

Tang Xin and Li Chengqian saw that Cheng Chumo agreed to the idea of satisfaction and no longer blocked it, and after helping to push it to the ladder, everyone turned their heads and went down to the city, and the ladder was quickly set up, and the Turks climbed to the city wall and roared: "The Tang people have run away, we have won!" ”

The second prince finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his soldiers occupying the city wall, turned his head to look at the camp tent that was no different from the ordinary big tent, and smiled.
