Therefore, most of the people of the entire Xichuan Prefecture spontaneously participated in the Tang army's battles and jointly resisted the fierce attack of the Nanzhao army.

As long as the people have a little thought, they continue to gather from all directions to the two important towns of Xichuan Prefecture, 'Li' (now Hanyuan County) and 'Ling' (now Renshou County). Originally, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but now there are tens of thousands of people with farm tools and improvised weapons, and the people are passionate, and the army and the people have the courage to defend the city desperately. Maybe the appearance of this situation, the Nanzhao army didn't think of it at all, right?

When twilight fell, the towers of Li and Ling were just shrouded by the remnant sun, and the distant sky was still smeared by a large area of blood-like remnant sun, and the heavens and the earth were quiet, as if only the sound of heartbeat remained.

The calm before the Great War turned out to be so terrible!

At this time, the Tang soldiers on the tower of Lizhen City were also like human statues bathed in the sunset, they clenched their long knives and guns, their expressions were solemn to the extreme, and they all stared into the distance with wide eyes, looking at the near end of the road......

Come on, kill......

Let each other's blood stain the world red, and let your and my swords pierce the body, but it is more painful than waiting like this!

The momentum of the army's strict preparation melted into the remnant sun, as if there was a bloody smell in the air.

"Look, the Southern Barbarians are coming......"

Finally, a sharp-eyed Don soldier broke the calm of the setting sun with an unusually sharp voice.

This voice pierced everyone's hearts deeply, causing their hearts to begin to bleed, and after the last breath the blood flowed all over the body, and all the people in the city suddenly became excited and restless.

The end of the avenue in the distance gradually became dusty, and the iron horse Jingo, the chariot and the cavalry seemed to be galloping with the fierce evening wind in the setting sun.

The traffic is rolling in, the people and horses are boiling and catharsis, and the battle flag hunting is fluttering, getting closer and closer, closer and closer......

The first to kill is a pull of the vanguard battalion soldiers and horses of the Nanzhao Army wearing iron armor and steel clothes, horses wrapped in iron rattan, these Nanzhao sergeants are rolling in rolling dust, and there is a kind of killing and drinking blood of the alien arrogant and domineering on the surface, on the surface, this seems to be a group of rabble, in fact, the combat effectiveness is far stronger than the ordinary Nanzhao other camps in the horses, this pull the pioneer battalion soldiers and horses that galloped first, the number is not too much, more than 30,000, less than 28,900 only.

However, no one dares to underestimate its true combat strength! Tang Ting Xichuan Fuzhong has already discovered that this group of soldiers and horses is the army that is best at long-distance mobile raids and offensive methods in the Nanzhao army.

And this Ussuri machine, is also a rare fierce general in the Nanzhao army, although only thirty years old, but the majesty in the army is indeed not a few generals can match, its people are the best at attacking the method of warfare, in the army for more than ten years to capture countless cities, won the king of Nanzhao liked.

Therefore, this time the Nanzhao State attacked the Xichuan Mansion of the Tang Dynasty, and the Nanzhao Wang Shilong specially ordered him to be the vanguard, and commanded the forward battalion of 50,000 soldiers and horses to really kill all the way, and he had never been defeated......

When the Wusu army arrived in the follow-up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they lined up the offensive battle array, and sure enough, several cavalry generals galloped out of the soldiers and horses chariots, one of the majestic generals was particularly eye-catching, but said that this general: wearing a purple and gold wolf tooth god of war hat, wearing stainless steel leopard print seamless armor, holding a large crescent-style strange-shaped blade that was two feet long, and the big crescent moon was still shining with blue light, braving the black and steaming aura, and it was chilling to look at from afar.

At this time, Princess Pinglan and some soldiers defending the city, such as Gao Qibai and Feng Shuai, were already standing on the city platform, looking at the Wusu army of the Nanzhao Kingdom that was camping and arranging troops hundreds of zhang away.

"No wonder it came so quickly, it turned out to be the elite army of the Wusu family of the Nanzhao Kingdom......" Gao Qibai looked at the more and more Nanzhao troops gathered under the city, and said with a frown.

Princess Pinglan had already figured out the military strength of Nanzhao Kingdom, and she naturally saw the origin of the army stationed under the city.

"General Gao, let the soldiers be in place and ready to meet the battle at any time!" Princess Pinglan also frowned slightly, and said to Gao Yibai.

When Gao Dabai heard this, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, the Southern Barbarian army has already arrived at the city, and the day the Southern Barbarians break through our city will be the time when our parents, wives and children will be killed, and our siblings will be humiliated! If this is the case, then let the Southern Barbarians march on our corpses!"

When the generals listened to Gao Dabai's passionate words of encouragement, they all had the color of fighting so hard; when the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city heard this, they immediately shouted in unison: "Fight to the death, desperately defend the city......

The desperate words exhaled by 100,000 people immediately shook the sky, and seemed to shake the sunset clouds thousands of feet high in the sky and drift away, and the blood and spirit of 100,000 people spread far away like wolf smoke, and even the Wusu army under the city that had already been deployed changed color slightly.

"General Wusu, why are there so many people in the city? According to the spies' report, it is impossible for the entire Xichuan Mansion to have 100,000 Tang troops, right? Could it be that our intelligence is wrong, why is there ...... here?"

It turned out that this great general who stood in the middle of the horse was the Ussuri machine of the Wusu family of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Ussuri listened to the question of the black-faced general beside him, looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, and said: "The sun is setting, and night is coming. Now the situation in the city is unpredictable, and the morale of the Tang army is just high, our follow-up soldiers and horses have not yet fully arrived, and the grain, grass, bows and crossbows and siege equipment have not yet kept up. Although our army is now under the city, it is not the best time to attack the city......"

After speaking, Ussuri thought for a while, and then immediately said to several generals beside him: "Pass my order, and the troops will temporarily retreat to the woodland two miles away and set up camp, and stand by in place!"

Hearing this, several generals glanced at each other and walked towards their respective armies.

Soon, the Uzsu army really began to change from the front team to the rear team, and the rear team became the front team, moving in sequence to the woodland two miles away.

Princess Pinglan, Gao Qibai, Qiqi Feng Shuai and others at the head of the city couldn't help but be puzzled when they saw that the Wusu army came suddenly and withdrew bizarrely.

"Hey, why is this Ukrainian-Soviet army menacing, but it retreats before fighting? It's really a bit unreasonable!" a young general standing beside Gao Dabai immediately said in a puzzled voice.

"In my opinion, most of the Wusu army is not sure of attacking and defending the city, and they still want to wait for reinforcements or supplies from the rear to arrive, or they may want to attack the city at night......" Qi beggar Feng Shuai looked at the retreating Wusu army below the city and guessed.

Princess Pinglan listened to what the two said, nodded and said: "Yes, although the Wusu army has not attacked the city for the time being, it is very likely that the other party has not fully figured out the reality of our side, but everyone must not take it lightly, and must be prepared for the Nanzhao army to attack the city at night......!

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, secretly remembering it in their hearts.

Later, under Gao Qibai's arrangement, the generals, martial arts masters, and ordinary people who came to assist in defending the city were divided into four rounds, taking turns to serve as the guard and defense on the city wall;

The night gets dark very quickly. It seemed like it was only a blink of an eye, and the sky was completely dark.

The cold wind was whistling non-stop.

The night was dark, the stars dotted the cold sky, and a moon hung quietly in the treetops on the high mountains in the distance.

The battle flags at the head of the city nearby rattled, and they fluttered vigorously in the wind.

There were tens of thousands of soldiers on the city walls, and there were groups of sergeants who patrolled back and forth, and there were those who stood at the top of the city but stared at the end of the road under the city wall and the edge of the road with eyes the size of brass bells.

The moon is bright in the mountains, and there are countless stars;

The cold wind in the silent night is endless.

Originally, on this night, under the poignant scenery, it was a murderous lurk.

Suddenly, under the distant night sky, a terrible and eerie wolf howl broke the silence of the night.

The tens of thousands of soldiers at the head of the city suddenly perked up, and most of them couldn't help but hold their blades tightly in their hands.

At this time, in the woodland two miles away from Li Town, there seemed to be a noise in the Wusu camp of the Southern Zhao Kingdom.

In the dense woods, there are Nanzhao soldiers in armor and swords, and their mission is to guard several large white canvas tents in the middle of the woodland.

Of course, that is where only the top military leaders of the Wusu family of the Nanzhao Kingdom can enter.

Just after that wolf howl, a gust of wind seemed to rise in the woods for no apparent reason.

Slightly, gently, almost imperceptibly.

However, at this moment, a strong man's voice came from the white-roofed tent in the center: "The Evil Wolf Venerable Envoy is here, and please enter the military tent to talk." ”

"Hehe, General Wusu is so superb in cultivation, I originally thought I was very careful, but I didn't expect the general to find out......" A few zhang away outside the military tent, there was also a cold and faint voice.

It was only at this time that hundreds of soldiers and several generals of the Wusu family who were guarding outside the military tent found that there were already people in the woods that had been heavily guarded.

At this moment, a figure flashed out of the darkness in the woods, as if this figure had come out of the darkness directly, and it was not even aware of the slightest sign in advance.
