In the Assassin's Mansion, Jiang Wang, Feng Rugang, Wei Meng and Zhang Tian all sat in front of the desk in the study, and everyone's faces sank like water. "There were no less than 1,000 casualties among the people of Hebei, the troops stationed at the north gate were almost completely killed and wounded, the temporary troops composed of Tang soldiers from various states and new soldiers from this state suffered more than 3,500 casualties, and the troops at the east gate performed heroically, but also suffered heavy casualties. Half of the arrows in the stock have been spent, the rolling logs and stones have been exhausted, and all the oil has been collected to the city, and there are almost no oil lamps left in the city." Zhang Tiandu carefully made a battle report.

"How many more men do we have to fight now?" Jiang Wangshen asked.

"The Hebei cavalry is two thousand three hundred. There are 4,200 officers and soldiers in the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Tiandu said quickly.

"How long do you think we'll last?" Jiang Forget looked at Feng Rugang and Wei Meng, who had been silent.

"In fact, three days ago, when the wall of the north gate and the east gate was occupied, Hengzhou could no longer hold it. Thanks to the support of those skilled Tiger Darts, we were able to form a cavalry team and storm the walls." Wei Meng said with a calm face.

"Her grandmother's male, these darts can really fight. Their head dart ......" Feng Rugang peeked at Jiang Wang, and then said, "It's a man."

Jiang Wang's face was expressionless, but a trace of relief swelled up in his heart, and he coughed, and then asked, "According to the situation in the past few days, how long do you think we can keep watch?"

"Unless a miracle happens," Wei Meng let out a long breath, "Otherwise, even if we count the combat power of the Flying Tiger Dart Game, if the enemy attacks the city again, we can only hold out for one to two days."

"Yes, the rolling wood and stone are all gone, the number of fire and oil arrows is limited, we have reached the point of exhaustion, and if the Turks launch another attack, we will only have to fight to the death." Feng Rugang said in a deep voice.

"Don't give up until the last minute." Jiang Wu said proudly, "Order the whole army to rest and recuperate, and tomorrow mobilize everyone to collect grinding discs and iron pots from every household in the city, and organize the blacksmiths in the city to speed up the casting of arrows. Set up secret posts at the key points of the towers, and the Turks must not be allowed to succeed in another surprise attack."

"Yes!" Feng Rugang, Wei Meng and Zhang Tian all replied in unison.

At this moment, a Hebei soldier walked into the room, bowed down and said, "Tell General Jiang, Miss Fang, the treasurer of the Flying Tiger Dart Bureau, and Miss Jia, the guest secretary, are asking to see you outside the door."

"Oh?" Jiang Forget and the generals of Hebei glanced at each other, both a little surprised. Jiang Wu hurriedly stood up, raised his hand and said, "Please."

As soon as Fang Mengjing and Jia Bian Que walked into the Assassin's Mansion, they smelled the thick bloody smell that permeated the mansion. All the Hebei generals here were once covered in blood, and at this moment, there were blood marks on their battle robes. Although Fang Jia's two daughters were still neatly dressed, their faces were pale and haggard, and their eyes were covered with bloodshot cobwebs, as if they hadn't closed their eyes for a few days and nights. Especially Fang Mengjing, who described dissipation, seemed to have lost a whole circle, and her face was like snow-white wallpaper.

"Miss Fang, I don't know what you're doing here?" Jiang forgot that the insight into the current situation that Fang Mengjing had shown before was still deeply memorable, so when he saw her appear, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"General Jiang, the Turks will attack the city again in three days, and then we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn defeat into victory." Fang Mengjing said in a deep voice with an unquestionable tone.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Outside Mr. Li Yu's house, Peng Wuwang finished placing all the people who had returned from the bloody battle at the head of the city to rest in their respective rooms, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but was pulled by Master Wei.

"Mr. Peng, you'd better go and see Mr. Li Yu, he seems to have gone completely crazy." Master Wei whispered with a strange look on his face.

"Crazy, it can't be." Peng Wuwang said. He remembered that he and Mr. Li Yu were in distress in Lotus Mountain, there were divine soldiers in front of them, and there was an ambush by the Tunan team in the back, and the situation was more dangerous than today, but Mr. Li Yu was quite righteous and awe-inspiring, and his courage was commendable. Now, although the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, it will not frighten Mr. Li, who was in danger, crazy. Peng Wuwang thought of this, and looked at Master Wei inexplicably.

"Ahem, Mr. Li Yu doesn't know what's wrong, he huddles in the room alone for a while and mutters to himself, and then shouts loudly what butterflies, historical confusion and other nonsense. I tried to comfort him, but he said that we all came out of thin air, and that it would come to naught." Master Wei said angrily, obviously choked by Li Yu's nonsense.

"Since Mr. Li Yu fled south from Youzhou, he has been in a trance and silent, I thought he was angry about the murderous burning, killing and looting of the Turks along the way, so he didn't take it to heart, who knew that he would become like this. I'm going to take a look." Peng Wuwang patted Master Wei on the shoulder and walked quickly into Li Yu's room.

Li Yu shrank on the bed in the guest room, trembling like chaff, half of his original brown-gray hair had turned gray-white, and the wrinkles between the corners of his forehead and eyebrows were dense, as if he had aged dozens of years in the past few days. Peng Wuwang frowned, came to Li Yu's bed and sat down, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Mr. Li, are you okay?"

Li Yu slowly turned his head, looked at Peng Wuwang blankly, hesitated for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Peng Wuwang, are you still alive?"

When Peng Wuwang heard this, he smiled bitterly, dusted off his clothes, and said, "Mr. Li, I'm still alive."

Li Yu let out a long sigh, sat up from the bed, stared at Peng Wuwang deadly, and said, "That old man Wei must have said that I was crazy."

"No, he just doesn't understand what you're saying." Peng Wuwang said with a complacent expression.

"Of course he doesn't understand," Li Yu suddenly became excited for no reason, "In this world, no one understands what I say, and no one is there. How lonely I am, how lonely I am, you know?"

Peng Wuwang laughed, "Mr. Li, when did you have the thoughts of these deep resentful women."

"A deep resentful woman...... Hey, stinky boy, when will it be your turn to entertain your Grandpa Li." Li Yu was almost fainted in anger and scolded.

"Mr. Li, don't get excited, don't take anything on your mind to heart, it's better to say it, I'll keep listening, okay?" Seeing Li Yu's flushed face, Peng Wuwang was a little amused and hurriedly persuaded.

"Boy, we're done, the world is over. No one wants to live, you don't want to think, the Turks are the same. The whole world has been ruined by me." Li Yu finally calmed down, looked out the window stupidly, and muttered.

"Ruined by you?" Peng Wuwang looked at Li Yu, who didn't look amazing, and couldn't think of why he said such a bold thing.

"You don't believe it. Okay, I'll tell you. When a person from the future has done something in the past that may be insignificant, but it is enough to affect the course of history, then the ripples caused by this event will spread irrepressibly in the infinite time and space, leading to a sudden change in history, thus causing a distortion of time and space, and when this distortion exceeds a certain limit, it will cause the simultaneous destruction of the past and the future." Li Yu's eyes widened, and he spat out a series of incredible words like a popping bean.

Peng Wuwang's head was plausible in Li Yu's mouth for a moment, and he didn't know what to say, and he swelled several times, only to feel that his eyes were full of Venus, and it took a long time to recover. He cupped his head, coughed, and said, "Mr. Li, what is a person in the future?"

"The people who will come after you." Li Yu said irritably, "It's the people of our era and later."

"But those people haven't been born yet, how can they get here?" Peng Wuwang asked blankly.

Li Yu rolled his eyes and muttered, "I know." He picked up a handkerchief from his bosom, held it up in front of Peng Wuwang, and said, "Okay, listen, I'll just say it once. The people of the future can go back in time and space to the past." He pulled his handkerchief with his hand, raised his left hand, and said, "Look, this is the past," and then he raised his right hand again, "This is the future." He didn't care whether Peng Wuwang understood or not, so he quickly closed the corners of the handkerchief in his left and right hands, and then said, "Look, this is the folding of time and space, we overlap the time and space at both ends at a specific moment, and then we can let the future people go back to the past."

He then wrapped the handkerchief of his right hand around his left hand and said, "But this man who has come back from the future has done a lot of things that did not happen in the past, perhaps insignificant, but these things are beginning to have an impact. These effects are beginning to amplify indefinitely and irrepressibly." His hands began to twist and tangle the ends of the handkerchief like crazy, making a jumble of knots, and then said, "Eventually, the plane begins to distort under the influence of these events, and the whole world will be in turmoil, and if it can't be restored, it will become a mess, and then, bam, it will all be gone." Li Yu threw the handkerchief in his hand in front of Peng Wuhope.

The room was silent, Peng Wuwang and Li Yu glared at each other, and no one spoke.

After a while, Peng Wuwang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and said, "Mr. Li, can you say it simply."

Li Yu stared at him for a long time before finally speaking: "Okay, to put it simply, the Mandate of Heaven is for the Tang Dynasty to flourish and the Turks to be destroyed. But if the Turks destroy the Tang Dynasty, the Mandate of Heaven will be violated, the world will fall into dire straits, and we will all perish, perish, understand, we will all perish. No one can live, not now, not in the future, for all to die, to die together." The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and at the end, he suddenly stretched out his hands, grabbed Peng Wuhope's shoulders tightly, and shook frantically.

"Mr. Li, calm down, calm down, calm down!!" Peng Wuwang spewed out the last two words with the roar of the Buddhist lion, and immediately shocked Li Yu, who had fallen into madness, "Listen to Mr. Li, Datang will not perish, we will not let it perish, no!" Do you understand?"

"We will not let him perish." Li Yu said stupidly to Peng Wuwang.

"We will hold Hengzhou, we will keep Chang'an, everything will be fine, everything will return to the way it was." Peng Wuwang said in as soft a voice as possible, he raised the handkerchief that Li Yu threw at him, grabbed the ends of the handkerchief with both hands, and pulled it hard, and the handkerchief, which was originally disorganized and entangled, was suddenly pulled straight, as if it had never been curled and tangled. He carefully stuffed the handkerchief back into Li Reading's hand, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li Reading, you have a good rest, tomorrow Master Wei will discuss with you the manufacturing method of the chain crossbow, I hope you can help him."

He stood up and turned to walk to the door.

Looking at the handkerchief in his hand that had returned to its original state, Li Yu's mind suddenly became clear, and he raised his head and said, "Brother Peng."

Peng Wuwang was stunned for a moment, turned around, and looked at him.

"Tonight, I'll study the manufacturing method of the Institution Repeater with Old Man Wei, it's time for those Turks to taste the power of our Central Plains craftsmen." Li Yu said excitedly.

Everyone in the Assassin's Mansion listened to Fang Mengjing's soft words with bated breath, as if they were Lun Yin from outside the sky: "In the past few days, I have been watching the sky every night and found that within three days, there will be a rare heavy rain near Hengzhou, and this heavy rain will also bring us the only chance to turn defeat into victory."

"Heavy rain?" Jiang Forget stood up abruptly and roared in ecstasy.

Zhang Tiandu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to his senses, and said in a lost voice: "Is this really the case?"

Fang Mengjing nodded affirmatively and said, "The little girl is quite good at stargazing, and this time she is even more sure."

Jiang Wang quickly walked to the door of the study, called a tooth general, and said in a loud voice: "Immediately inform the people of Hebei to hurry up and rest, and order the blacksmiths in the city to stop making bows and arrows, and instead make throwing guns, the more the better, the sooner the better."

"Order!" The tooth general responded and sped away.

Fang Mengjing glanced at Jiang Forget appreciatively, nodded slightly, and said, "The general really reacted well. The little woman fled from Youzhou and passed by Hengzhou's Burial Tiger Slope, which is located in the northwest of the city, deep in a ravine, and only a mile away from the camp in the northern city, which is an excellent ambush place."

"That's right," Jiang forgot the words of the other party's Mengjing, and immediately felt like a confidant, "We can take advantage of the night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, and ambush the Burial Tiger Slope. When the rain comes, immediately attack the enemy's camp with their backs, and if they can kill the enemy chieftain, they will be able to succeed in one battle."

"This raid can be said to be a desperate gamble, the general must lead the decisive men, sacrifice their lives to attack the enemy camp, if they can't kill the enemy chieftain, wait until the heavy rain has passed, they will regroup, and the whole city of Hengzhou will be killed. The general must be prepared to fight to the death, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve great things." Fang Mengjing said solemnly.

Jiang Forget and the generals behind him glanced at each other, and laughed at the same time: "At this point, the girl can rest assured, I and other Hebei soldiers have already realized this."

Fang Mengjing bowed deeply to them and said softly, "The generals don't remember the old hatred, and sacrifice their lives for the Han people. The high wind and bright festival can show the sun and the moon. Although the history books of future generations will not say a word about you, there will always be a place for you in the anecdotes of our dreams."

"The girl is overrated." The generals of Hebei stood up at the same time and bowed to her together.

Fang Mengjing turned her head, led Jia Bian Que to the front, and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is the current miracle doctor Jia Bian Que Jia girl, she is not only good at medical skills, but also has a lot of experience in using poison."

Jiang Forget hurriedly saluted Jia Bianque: "It turned out to be the divine doctor Jia Bianque, who was disrespectful."

Jia Bian Que replied lightly and said, "Generals, I have already seen the poison smeared on the guns of the Hebei soldiers. The onset of toxicity is too slow and useless. I have concocted a simple and easy poison that seals the throat with blood, and attacks so quickly that it can kill a person in three breaths, whether it is in the arm or ankle. I have made fifteen jars of poison overnight for the men of your army."

Jiang Wu couldn't hold back his excitement anymore, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "God really help me."

Looking at the clouds in the eastern sky of Chang'an City, the Great Chief of the Black Water Sect shook his head worriedly, and muttered, "It's not good, it's not good." He turned around and walked into his tent, and was just about to summon his cronies to give orders, when he saw a member of the Flame Sect in black enter the tent, bowed down and said, "Honorable Chief Tiefuyou, the princess of our country has something to discuss with you."

Tie Fu understood in his heart, nodded slightly, and walked towards the tent of the coalition army under the guidance of the black-clothed warrior.

In the golden-roofed tent of the coalition army, Princess Splendid frowned, held the handsome case with both hands, leaned over slightly, and stared closely at the military map on the table, as if she had fallen into an extremely anxious thought. Seeing Tie Fu You enter the tent, she waved her hand lightly, waved off the black-clothed warrior, and said softly: "Chief Tie Fu You, the clouds in the sky recently have a strange shape, which seems to be very inappropriate, you are the number one heaven viewing master on the prairie, what do you think?"

Tie Fu admired Princess Jinxiu's profound knowledge, and bowed down and said, "The princess has indeed seen people, and according to my observation of the shape of the clouds in the sky and the strength of the wind in the past few days, within a day or two, there will be a rare rainstorm within a few hundred miles northeast of Chang'an. But the princess can rest assured that there won't be a lot of rain near Chang'an City."

Princess Splendid sighed and said, "I have already ordered the soldiers in the battalion to collect their bows and arrows, so I am not worried about the situation here. But according to you, the city of Hengzhou, where Mantuo is located, is the heart of the rainstorm, and when the rain comes, it will be a terrible disaster for them."

Tie Fuyou smiled slightly, and said, "Why should the princess worry, the third prince of your country, Mantuo, has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience, and he has hundreds of thousands of elite men under his command, and there will never be any danger in the face of thousands of defenders in Hengzhou." The Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team of the Black Water Turquoise and Mantuo had several festivals, and even had several battles against each other, and was killed by Mantuo and retreated more than 100 miles, killing countless elites of the Turquoise and losing a large amount of grain, grass, cattle and sheep. Tie Fu didn't have a good impression of Mantuo from the bottom of his heart, and only hoped that he would suffer a few more big losses, so he was not worried about his situation.

Princess Splendid didn't know what he was thinking, a sneer flashed on the peerless face behind the light veil, she nodded, raised her hand and said, "Thank you so much for the guidance of the chief. Please."

Tie Fuyou bowed again and said, "In that case, Tie Fuyou has retired." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the tent.

After Princess Jinxiu saw him walk out of the tent, she immediately lifted the curtain and walked towards the tent of the second prince Fengjie.

"What, you are going to personally lead the combined forces of the Uighurs, the Khitans and the Khitan to reinforce Hengzhou, Jinxiu, are you making too much of a fuss?" Feng Jie stood up in surprise and said loudly.

"Shhhh Princess Splendid hurriedly made a silent motion.

Feng Jie hurriedly had plastic surgery and looked around, until he was sure that no one could hear him, and then he said, "Jinxiu, what made you make this decision?"

Princess Splendid whispered, "Prince Mantuo has always been arrogant and acts recklessly. This time, if the city of Hengzhou cannot be attacked for a long time, it will definitely be impetuous, light the enemy's rashness, and turn a blind eye to the damage caused to the army by the heavy rain. If the enemy army in Hengzhou takes advantage of the heavy rain a day or two later to raid the Mantuo camp, the situation will be critical."

Feng Jie frowned, silently, silently pondering the possibility of what Princess Jinxiu said, and said for a long time, "Do Hengzhou soldiers and horses have this ability?"

"A force that can face the Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team across the desert head-on, and can win, can do anything." Princess Jinxiu quickly unfolded a battlefield map in front of Fengjie, pointed to a mark with her hand, and said categorically, "Here in the northwest of Hengzhou, the Burial Tiger Slope is vertical and horizontal, and thousands of people and horses can be hidden. This place is only one mile away from the north gate of Hengzhou, and the remaining two princes can imagine for themselves."

"But it's too late to go now." Fengjie thought for a long time, looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I am ready to receive Mantuo's army, and when I arrive in Hengzhou, whether the troops led by Mantuo are damaged or not, I will take over his command of the siege battle. The Battle of Hengzhou is too important for our whole plan to encircle Chang'an, and we cannot afford to make the slightest mistake." Princess Splendid took a breath when she said this, and said, "I should have planned to do this early in the morning. But I'm afraid of running into ...... Hey, nothing matters now, the most important thing is to get to Hengzhou as soon as possible, and prepare for the worst, we'll leave tonight."

Feng Jie nodded and said, "Okay, I will instruct my soldiers to implement the strategy of reducing troops and increasing the number of soldiers, and try to cover up the traces of the departure of the military horses of all ethnic groups. He will also reduce the battle flags in the camp by sixty percent, and lead the army to retreat ten miles back and set up camp."

"Very good, the virtual is real, the real is virtual. In this way, the commander of Chang'an will definitely think that we want to show weakness and lure him into battle, but he will not be able to hold out. The second prince is really shrewd." Princess Splendid said appreciatively.

"Jinxiu, you can rest assured that the camp outside Chang'an City will be impregnable." Feng Jie said proudly.
