Hearing Xue Wanche and the others shaking their heads while discussing, it is a pity that such a great beauty is destined to be lonely for a lifetime because of the bone system, Li Yong is very speechless, it's a pity, it's a pity, what do you mean by looking at me while saying it's a pity? I didn't make her alone for the rest of her life!

"Okay, don't talk nonsense here, tomorrow the fourth watch will make food, and the fifth watch will send soldiers to cover Mu City, everyone go and prepare!"

Li Yong said, when it came to business, Xue Wanche and the others immediately hugged their fists.

"Yes, Princess!"

Gaimu City, the defenders on the city wall were in full swing patrolling, although the Tang army had not yet reached Gaimu City, although they felt that it was too early for the Tang army to hit Gaimu City, but the atmosphere still became tense.

"Look, someone, someone's coming!"

The defenders on the city wall exclaimed, and soon, the alarm bell rang in Gaimu City, and the people who heard the alarm bell were all stunned, and they were very puzzled in their hearts, they already knew the warning signal of the Tang army soldiers surrounding Jian'an City, and the question was why did the alarm bell ring? Could it be that the Tang army crossed Jian'an City and directly attacked them, and Gaimu City failed? It's impossible! Isn't the Tang army afraid of being copied by the defenders of Jian'an City? Li Zhitong, the guard of Gaimu City, hurriedly climbed the city wall when he heard the alarm bell, and asked.

"What happened? Why are the alarm bells ringing? ”

"General, look, there are soldiers and horses outside the city!"

The guard general Li Zhitong looked out of the city, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, there were indeed soldiers and horses outside the city, there were thousands of soldiers and horses scattered galloping in front, and there were bursts of smoke and dust in the back, and there were formed cavalry all over the mountains and fields were chasing, constantly encroaching on the backward cavalry, Li Zhitong was immediately stunned, how could this be? It looks as if the city of Jian'an has been breached, and the Tang army is chasing the retreating cavalry, but how is this possible? The Tang army only arrived at Jian'an City yesterday, and only started to attack the city today, how could it be possible to break through Jian'an City? The defenders of Jian'an City are not muddy, and he clearly remembers that Song Ruiyuan, the defender of Jian'an City, once let go of words, at least to hold on for a month, even if Song Ruiyuan said that there is moisture, then half a month can always hold on, right? Even if you can't hold on for half a month, you can't hold on for a day, right? Could it be that there is fraud in this? The adjutant next to him said with a solemn face.

"General, it's impossible for Jian'an City to be breached in one day, right? The last general will suspect that there is deceit. ”

Li Zhitong nodded.

"General Ben also thinks so, the Tang army must be playing conspiracy and tricks, trying to win our city gates."

The adjutant next to him laughed when he heard this.

"Jian'an City hasn't been captured yet! even wanted to earn us Gaimu City, it was really not enough to swallow the elephant. ”

Li Zhitong smiled faintly.

"It can be seen that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still has some scheming, and ordered the archers to prepare, let them get closer, listen to the instructions, and teach them some lessons."

The cavalry scattered in front kept approaching, and the adjutant general frowned.

"Look at the costumes really like our people!"

Li Zhitong was also shocked and frowned.

"Impossible! Even if Datang has any conspiracy, it is impossible to capture Jian'an City in one day. ”

Unless, Song Ruiyuan directly descended to the Tang Dynasty, but Song Ruiyuan is really willing to be a family in Pyongyang City? The bows and arrows on the city wall had been erected, and the faces of the soldiers were sinking like water, although the outside of the city were all cavalry, and there were no siege equipment, but their nerves were already tense, and the lieutenant general suddenly shouted.

"Then, isn't that Song Ruiyuan?"

Li Zhitong's face changed greatly, because the person who rode the horse first was Song Ruiyuan! He was completely stunned, how could Song Ruiyuan appear here? There is only one possibility for Song Ruiyuan to appear here, that is, Jian'an City has been breached, the question is, today is the first day of the Tang Army's siege of the city, how can Jian'an City be breached? Could it be that tens of thousands of pigs are defending the city? Just when Li Zhitong's thoughts were uncertain, the city had already shouted.

"Open the gates! Open the gates! I'm Song Ruiyuan! Open the gates! The Tang Army is coming after you! ”

Who doesn't know that you are Song Ruiyuan? Li Zhitong did not order the city gate to be opened, but asked loudly.

"General Song, why did you come to Gaimu City?"

Song Ruiyuan shouted.

"The Tang army has artillery, the artillery is very powerful, and it directly broke through Jian'an City, I am here to help you defend the city, let me in!"

Li Zhitong said loudly.

"Can artillery break through the walls directly? I don't believe that there is such a divine weapon in the world, General Song, tell me honestly, did you surrender to the Tang Dynasty? ”

Song Ruiyuan shouted.

"What? How could I, Song Ruiyuan, surrender to Datang? Datang's artillery is really powerful, and I can't say a word clearly, but you let me in! ”

The lieutenant said in a low voice.

"General, I'm afraid that there is fraud in it! How could Jian'an City be breached in just one day? ”

Li Zhitong said in a deep voice.

"I also want to know why Jian'an City was breached in one day, let him in, even if there is fraud, he can't make any waves, you keep an eye on him personally, if there is anything suspicious, do it directly, life or death!"

The lieutenant hurriedly hugged his fists.

"Yes, General!"

After speaking, Li Zhitong shouted.

"Open the gates!"

The gate of Gaimu City slowly opened, and the defeated soldiers gathered outside immediately rushed into the city, and the deputy general hurriedly walked down the city wall to take over the defeated soldiers, Li Zhitong still stood on the city wall with a solemn face and stared into the distance, the smoke and dust were billowing outside the city, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was constantly approaching, and the fleeing cavalry rushed desperately to the city gate, but it was constantly being eroded.

"Close the gates! Close the gates quickly! ”

There were still many defeated soldiers outside the city who did not rush into the city, and they couldn't help but be anxious when they saw the city gates beginning to close.

"Please wait a minute, General!"

"Help!"

"We're not in yet!"

"Wait a little longer!"

There are a lot of defeated soldiers desperately squeezing towards the city, but although the city gate is slow but very good not to stagnate slowly closed, the defeated soldiers outside the city are a little desperate to beat their horses around the city and flee, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is in hot pursuit, and constantly slashing outside the city of Gaimu, the city of Gaimu is very quiet, all the defenders are looking at the killing outside the city with solemn faces, they have relatives, there is a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox, after all, this is their comrades, but they can only watch the comrades outside being slaughtered, at the same time, they also feel horrified in their hearts, The appearance of these defeated soldiers illustrates a problem, that is, Jian'an City has been captured, how can Jian'an City be captured after only one day? How brave and good was the Tang army, or how cunning was it? Li Zhitong carefully looked at the situation outside the city, made sure that they were all cavalry without siege equipment, and turned his head and ordered.

"Keep an eye on it, if the enemy army attacks the city, immediately ring the alarm, and without my military order, no matter what happens, no matter who is outside, you must not open the city gate, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

After speaking, Li Zhitong hurriedly walked down the city wall, under the city wall, the deputy general led a group of archers to surround all the defeated troops who entered the city, and there was a posture of releasing arrows if he didn't agree with him, Song Ruiyuan's face was very ugly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Zhitong strode over and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Song, when this is an emergency, I will have to be cautious, and I hope that my brother can be considerate."

Song Ruiyuan sighed.

"Brother Li thinks that I, Song Ruiyuan, have descended to the Tang Dynasty? I, Song Ruiyuan, have been favored by the king for a lifetime, and I am loyal to the king, how can I do such a wolf-hearted thing? ”

Li Zhitong didn't think that Song Ruiyuan would surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but it was incomprehensible that Jian'an City fell so quickly, Li Zhitong said in a deep voice.

"Brother Song appeared here, presumably Jian'an City has fallen, according to the general's intelligence, the Tang army only began to attack the city today, the general now just wants to ask, how can the Tang army capture Jian'an City in one day?"

Song Ruiyuan's face was a little gray when he heard this, and he sighed.

"It's me who is ashamed of the king, ashamed of the fathers of Liaodong, originally I was determined to hold on for a month, and the brothers in the city were also full of morale, vowing to hold on for a month, who would have thought of it, who would have thought of it......"

Li Zhitong heard that the key was coming, and hurriedly asked.

"Who would have thought of anything? What's going on? ”

Song Ruiyuan said like a mourner.

"This time the Tang Army brought a lot of artillery, we had only heard that the artillery was very powerful before, who would have thought that it would be so powerful!"

Li Zhitong's face couldn't help but become solemn when he heard this, if the Tang army really took Jian'an City in just one day, it would be terrible, Li Zhitong asked with a solemn face.

"How powerful is the artillery of the Don Army? Tell me more! ”

Song Ruiyuan said in a deep voice.

"The artillery roared in unison, like countless divine thunder, and the range could reach six or seven hundred paces! And it's incredibly powerful! ”

Li Zhitong said in a deep voice.

"Powerful? Thunder? I don't believe artillery can break through walls! ”

Jian'an City is close to the Central Plains Dynasty, has experienced countless wars, and the city wall has been thickened repeatedly, he doesn't believe that there are really any magic weapons in this world that can break through the city wall of Jian'an City, Song Ruiyuan said in a deep voice.

"It's true that the city wall can't be broken, but the bricks and stones of the city wall are flying everywhere, and there are countless cracks, and the soldiers have never seen this kind of battle, and they are all frightened all of a sudden, and their morale is completely gone! That's why I'm here to tell you, you must be careful, not careless, and make it clear to the soldiers, otherwise you will be frightened by the artillery all of a sudden. ”

Li Zhitong looked at Song Ruiyuan's heavy and serious face, and hesitated in his heart, so far he has been sure that Song Ruiyuan will not surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but he still has doubts about the power of artillery, the power of artillery is probably very strong, but he feels that it is not as exaggerated as Song Ruiyuan said, he feels that the reason why Song Ruiyuan exaggerates the power of artillery so much is nothing more than to blame his own fault, in his mind, artillery is nothing more than a weapon like a trebuchet, or a trebuchet with flames, It may indeed be powerful, but to say that it can make the Tang army capture Jian'an City in only one day, he thinks it is impossible, there are no such powerful weapons in the world, it is not that the Tang army's artillery is too powerful, but that Song Ruiyuan is too incompetent, Li Zhitong said in a deep voice.

"Just ask Brother Song to go down and rest for the time being! I think that in a few days, the Tang army will surround and cover the city, and then I will have a good understanding of the Tang army's artillery. ”

Song Ruiyuan hurriedly said.

"Brother Li, don't be careless! In my opinion, it is better to have the soldiers plug their ears with strips of cloth, so that they will not be frightened by the sound of artillery, otherwise the morale will be lost, and the battle will not be fought. ”

Li Zhitong said in a deep voice.

"This is a big fallacy, so that the soldiers plugged their ears with strips of cloth? How was the military order issued? ”

Song Ruiyuan said continuously.

"Oh, why do you need a military order? When the enemy army comes, it will be done directly, even if it is chaotic, it is better than being frightened by the artillery and having no morale at all, otherwise, Gaimu City will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the past! ”

Li Zhitong snorted.

"Brother Song, don't worry, Ben will never repeat the mistakes of the past, brother, go and rest!"

After finishing speaking, Li Zhitong turned around and left, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to beat the drum to gather the generals, Song Ruiyuan could only stomp his feet when he saw this, he said what he should say, and I don't know how much Li Zhitong listened, in fact, there are really some people in the city who are really panicking, because everyone really didn't expect that the traces of the Tang army would appear outside the city so soon, and it was also chasing and killing the defenders of Jian'an City.

"See the general!"

The generals said in unison, Li Zhitong came to the handsome position and stood still, glanced at everyone coldly, and said in a deep voice.

"You all know what happened outside the city today, that's right, Jian'an City has fallen!"

Although they had already guessed, now that they heard the results, everyone couldn't help but gasp and hurriedly asked.

"General, when did the Tang Army start attacking Jian'an City?"

Li Zhitong sighed.

"Even today, Jian'an City fell after holding on for less than a day!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and it didn't take a day to fall? How is this possible? Did the defenders of Jian'an City forget to close the city gates? Or did a traitor appear? Could it be that when the Tang army was about to attack the city, the city wall suddenly collapsed? Otherwise, they really couldn't understand how Jian'an City could have fallen after only holding on for one day, and in the face of the questions of the generals, Li Zhitong explained.

"According to General Song's explanation, the Tang army has artillery, the sound is like thunder, and the power is huge, which scares the defenders of Jian'an City without morale, so that it is broken at once!"

The generals couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

"What weapon can be like thunder? Isn't that? ”

"What if it was like thunder? What is there to be afraid of thunder? Could it be that the defenders of Jian'an City are all girls? ”

"That's it, the defenders of Jian'an City are not as good as the girls, and they are even afraid of thunder!"

Li Zhitong raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said in a deep voice.

"Although it does sound a little unbelievable, but you must not be guarded, after you go back, remind the soldiers, don't be afraid of any loud noise, just defend the city step by step."

"General, don't worry, our men who built Mu City will not be afraid of thunder!"
