Chapter 287: The Spear Guards the Soul of the Tang Dynasty Alone (I)
Li Bin, who was covered in blood on the city wall of Gaochang, sighed: "I'm afraid this Gaochang can't stand it..."Three days ago, Zhang Yan appeared under the city of Gaochang again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She smiled very arrogantly, and then brought a very bad news to the Tang soldiers. That is, Zhang Yan defeated the Uighur reinforcements and killed their leader. Kindness... That's right, Zhang Yan, the leader's head, naturally also brought it.
In fact, Zhang Yan was able to defeat the city, and it would only be a matter of a few days if she was filled with people, but she took this opportunity to surround the point and send reinforcements. After killing the Uighurs and occupying this Gaochang, who in the entire Beiting can stop the nearly 100,000 iron horsemen.
She naturally saw that this Gao Chang couldn't hold out for a few days. Although the walls were thick, many of them had cracked under the blasting of explosives. Most of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have wounds on their bodies, but everyone is persevering, because they know the brutality of Tubo very well.
Since he was able to fill this city with people, Zhang Yan didn't want to waste his physical strength too much. Because her creature armor has a repair limit, there is no longer any chance of repairing it in this scene. If it is damaged during the siege, when the time comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to carry the claws of Yan Hanshui.
"Okay, this damn open-hung woman. I worked hard to use several scenes to get to where I am now. This woman is obviously so much weaker than me, and now she can actually fight with me to a tie. Hmph, I'm going to have you get down on your knees and beg me... And be sure to defeat you spiritually and make your miserable for the rest of your life! Zhang Yan gritted her teeth, but still gave up the idea of attacking the city herself.
Of course, even without Zhang Yan, this dilapidated city wall would not be able to withstand it for a few days. The infantry of the Tibetans attacked from all sides, while the regular soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were less than 2,000. Although there were many ordinary people and some guard slaves who joined, their combat skills were insufficient after all, and the casualties were very large. Li Bin hadn't closed his eyes for three days, and he had been running around the city wall.
Soon it was time to eat, and Li Bin's wife, Fan, led a number of women to the edge of the city wall. "Husband, let's eat first...."Fan Shi wiped the blood stains on Li Bin's head with his handkerchief.
Li Bin sighed, but he still smiled when he saw his wife: "It's been hard for you these days..."
Fan wiped the blood from his face with a handkerchief, and then handed him a hot dish: "Our old husband and wife, what are you talking about?" I don't know when this day will be the head, and when will Yang Daduhu be able to rescue us? ”
"It's estimated that it's coming soon, more than 20 days ago, the swallow system of Yan Hanshui passed in the news. Yang Zhenggu and they have already defeated the Great Eclipse, and now they are returning with nearly 20,000 cavalry. Depending on the distance, it may take another six or seven days. Li Bin smiled at Fan, which made Fan's heart very reassured.
Fan nodded at Li Bin: "Ten days?" It's good... We have persevered for half a year, and it is estimated that it will not be worse than these ten days. Soon a simple lunch was eaten, and the soldiers were eating in shifts. Gaochang really had a lot of food and meat, and as long as the soldiers were hungry during the battle, they would have food for them.
After waiting for Fan to go down, Li Bin's brows furrowed. As far as the current situation is concerned, not to mention whether or not you can resist tonight for ten days, it's two words. The attacks of the Tibetans have hardly stopped in the past few days, and the casualties of the soldiers on the Tang side have been increasing every day. In fact, Fan also has some feelings, that is, the number of people who eat every day is decreasing. Well, after all, she can't change anything from Ben to a woman's family. But I can only keep myself from crying and let the men fight more hard.
In the past six months, Li Bin is still alive, which is already the greatest comfort to her. Because in the whole city, there are almost six or seven layers of families, and a man has died. There can even be two or three percent of families, and two men have died in the family.
In the beginning, there were still women who cried every day. When it came to the back, the women would just silently collect the corpses. Because there were so many people who died, so many that the whole Gaochang reached a state of numbness.
Fan is a strong woman who understands why her men fight. In fact, it is estimated that even if Li Bin dies in battle, Fan will not shed too many tears. The elders of the two men and their father died at the hands of the woman under the city. Now if the city is broken, it would be a good thing to die together.
Li Bin was on the city wall, holding the spear given to him by Yan Hanshui, and once again picked up a Tubo man from the city wall. But Li Bin was already covered in sweat, and his body couldn't help but feel weak. "Deputy Protector, take a break.... We can handle it! A soldier went over and helped Li Bin. The soldiers were fine, basically changing the guard every three hours on average. After all, it is necessary to maintain sufficient physical strength, and even at night Tubo will attack at night, so it is very necessary to change the guard, although fatigue but can still persevere.
But Li Bin is different, since Zhang Yan returned here, basically the siege of Tibet has not stopped even in the middle of the night. "Damn, that woman is obviously capable of breaking the city herself, and she actually sent those soldiers to death. What the hell did she think? Could it be that she has to save her strength to deal with the smoke and cold water? Thinking of the smoke and cold water, Li Bin's eyes had a trace of tenderness.
Although the two are estimated to be inseparable in this life, Li Bin often thinks about the days when the two get along. In the end, Li Bin felt that she was worthy of being a heroine, and that woman had always had a bold momentum on her. Being a buddy is indeed the best choice, but it's a pity that it's too difficult to go any further. Li Bin took a breath and planned to continue to step forward to suppress Tubo.
Just when Li Bin was thinking wildly, suddenly a woman's voice remembered. Li Bin looked back and found that it was more than 100 girls, each of whom came to Li Bin with a single knife and a cowhide shield in his hand. The first person hugged his fist at Li Bin: "Li Duhu, we are all the swallow eyeliner and intelligence officers in Gaochang." I just got instructions from Lord Yanhanshui, and now they all join the defensive battle. ”
"Oh?" Li Bin was slightly stunned, and then asked anxiously: "Where is Yan Hanshui's team?" Any news? ”
The woman nodded, "It's about two hundred miles away from here now, but the team must rest for the night before they can support you." ”
"Two hundred miles?" The cavalry marched at full strength, and it was estimated that it would take at least a whole day, after all, the horses also needed to rest. But it is already a miracle to cut the normal one-month journey to about twenty-two days. Li Bin knew in his heart that if they didn't take a day off, they would not have any combat effectiveness even if they reached this Gaochang.
Li Bin nodded: "Thank you, then let's hold on until noon tomorrow." ”
"Your Excellency, please rest for a while, because Lord Yan Hanshui said. Now their position, it is difficult to hide from Zhang Yan in Tubo. So it may not be long before the most tragic battle will be fought. Now that we are guarding, the adults will take a little rest. The woman said, Li Bin nodded, leaned on a stone on the side and fell asleep.
