Translated by the people who were brought out.

The Eastern Turk general suddenly restrained his smile and raised his scimitar and shouted.

This sentence was not translated by the people who were brought out.

The rampant laughter slowly stopped, and the atmosphere outside the city suddenly became depressing, and a surging momentum rushed towards Fang Yuan and the others.

Immediately, the cavalry walked out of a part and pulled the people bound by the ropes and left.

"Go find someone who understands East Turkic."

Fang Yuan commanded with a cold face.

Xu Shihui immediately sent someone to look for it.

Not long after, a young man dressed as a student of the state academy arrived.

Fang Yuan knew this person, it was Ge You who Zhang Ji brought to him to apply for a loan to help his students.

It was also at this time that the part of the cavalry that had left returned again, and the people who had been pulled away returned with a tree on their backs.

The trees were thicker than an adult's thighs, had been trimmed, estimated to be three or four meters long, and had one end of its head sharpened into a pointed shape.

“@#￥%…… & amp;！ ”

The Eastern Turk general yelled.

"Let the two-legged sheep attack the city!"

"Those who disobey will be eaten!"

Ge You translated.

The voice of the Eastern Turk general fell.

Some of the people who were being pulled by the rope were released.

They were pushed to the front, about five hundred or so.

There are men and women, young and old, but mainly men, mostly young and strong.

The people were full of panic and carried the trees under the shouts of the Eastern Turk cavalry.

“@#￥%…… & amp;！ ”

The Eastern Turk general yelled again.

"Siege!"

Ge You translated again.

The people who carry the tree move.

But some people collapsed due to exhaustion.

The next moment, an Eastern Turkic cavalry rode out.

In the terrifying eyes of the people, he turned over and dismounted in front of the fallen people.

"Spare your life, spare your life, spare your life."

The fallen people fell to their knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

His face was full of fear, and there was not a trace of blood on his face, as if the Eastern Turkic soldiers in front of him were demons.

The Eastern Turk soldier had a cold face, grabbed the hair of the common man with his claws, stopped him from continuing to kowtow, and forcibly pulled the hair of the common man to make him stand up.

"Die!"

The Eastern Turk soldiers shouted angrily.

The scimitar in his hand slashed at the people's neck.

The pleas for mercy stopped abruptly, and blood rushed out like a pillar of blood.

A human head was held by an Eastern Turk soldier, and the body had fallen to the ground.

It seems that because of the inertia of the body, the body that fell to the ground twitched slightly on the ground.

The enslaved people were frightened and retreated, and the trees on their shoulders fell to the ground.

"This is what happens if you don't obey!"

The Eastern Turk soldiers raised their heads and shouted.

The head was facing the enslaved people.

The horrific death frightened them so much that they turned pale and retreated.

"Siege!"

"Whoever falls, that's the end!"

The Eastern Turk soldiers shouted again.

The head in his hand slammed into one of them.

The man screamed, almost out of his body.

The people nearby were also screaming and screaming, and their faces were like ashes.

A moment later, the enslaved people carried the tree again.

on the city walls.

Fang Yuan and the others were furious.

Enraged by the actions of the Eastern Turkic cavalry.

"Brute!"

"Damn brute!"

"Fang Thorn History, do you want to release arrows?"

Li Danqiu clenched his fists, and his voice was cold.

Her face was also a little pale, and she was shocked by what she saw.

This is the battlefield, the terrible battlefield, and the enslaved people of the Tang people are no better than the beasts.

What's even more odious is that they use their compatriots of the Tang people to attack the city, so do they still use bows and arrows to intercept and kill?

Li Danqiu was the commander, but it was difficult to make up his mind in this situation, and he looked at Fang Yuan on the side.

"Don't kill us, don't kill us, we're forced"

The enslaved people under the city cried out.

They carried the trees and ran towards the city gate with neat steps.

The sharp end was in front, rushing towards the center of the gate.

"Lord Thorn Shi, be cautious!"

Xu Shihui's face was heavy and he reminded.

The cruelty and horror of the Eastern Turks in front of them are beyond imagination.

Don't treat human life as a thing, and the moral bottom line is lower than that of animals.

They even used enslaved people to attack the city, so that they had to carefully consider whether to release arrows.

If this arrow is released, those who were originally merit may be charged with mutilating their compatriots and will be impeached by the officials.

Some people don't like to do things when they are full, and they always like to pick bones in eggs, and this kind of person will not be less in all dynasties.

And there is a problem to consider, that is, there are about 500 compatriots in the city, and there will definitely be the next group of anti-trees after killing the group of trees.

Looking at the current situation, at least about 500 civilians must be killed before the Eastern Turk cavalry can stop attacking the city.

Before the war started, their own arrows were shot at their own compatriots first?

"Can the gates be blocked?"

Fang Yuan's voice was a little hoarse.

There is a monstrous rage in it.

"Hold on for a day at most!"

The captain of the city guard said in a low tone.

Liaozhou City is a small city, and its defense is not very effective.

If there is no other action to stop it, it can only be held for a day at most.

"Let's talk about strategy first!"

Fang Yuan had a cold face and said in a deep voice.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were as cold as knives, and he stared downward.

If you release the arrows, the consequences of killing these compatriots in front of you will not be mentioned for the time being, but the reaction of the Eastern Turkic cavalry must be considered.

They will have two options.

One is to personally attack the city, and the other is to kill the county seat.

If you are a general, you must kill the county seat, after all, the city of the county is easier to capture.

In this way, the people of Liaozhou will still be trampled on by the Eastern Turkic Iron Cavalry, which is not a situation that Fang Yuan wants to see.

In the best-case scenario, Liaozhou left the Eastern Turkic cavalry behind and waited for the imperial court to send troops to support.

When it was determined that the Eastern Turkic cavalry was coming, Fang Yuan had already ordered someone to report to Chang'an City urgently.

"Boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

The soldiers defending the city who were in the city were knocked backwards.

After stabilizing their bodies, the defenders of the city once again stared at the city gate with their bodies, increasing the defensive nature of the city gate.

This collision seemed to have also hit the hearts of the people in Liaozhou City, making them even more panicked.

Most of the people in the city did not dare to go out and hid in their homes, but they still had the courage to approach the city gate.

There are even spies from some families who are spreading information back and forth, so that they have a general understanding of the current situation, but they are also frightened.

Fang Yuan and the others also trembled in their hearts when they were hit like this, but they were relieved to see that the city gate was still strong.

So they sat down on the floor and discussed how to deal with the situation in front of them.

"Boom!"

Another jolt.

But it can no longer interfere with the discussion of Fang Yuan and others.

Next, Fang Yuan and the others discussed strategies one by one, and the city gate was slammed again and again.

The Eastern Turkic cavalry below ordered the Tang compatriots to curse the formation, insulting Fang Yuan and the others for not daring to go out and fight head-on.

The half day passed like this, the sun had already set in the west, and it was about to get dark, and the people who knocked on the door were so tired that they could walk.

"Retreat!"

The Eastern Turkic cavalry general shouted.

The enslaved people were dragged and taken away.

Billowing smoke and dust rose, the Eastern Turkic cavalry disappeared, and Liaozhou City survived the half day.

"Check the gates!"

Fang Yuan looked in the direction they left and said in a deep voice.

Today is only the first day, tomorrow is the real crisis.

According to the commander of the city guard, the city gate can only hold out until noon tomorrow at most.

"Lord Assassin, the city gate is seriously damaged, I'm afraid I can only hold out until noon tomorrow."

The captain of the garrison returned to report.

As he had estimated, the gates would last only one day at most.

"Treat all the brothers!"

"Tonight's vigil on turn!"

Fang Yuan walked down the city wall.

It was found that the soldiers who had just blocked the city gate were exhausted.

"Don't worry!"

The captain of the city guard said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan and the others got on their horses and returned to the Assassin's Mansion.

Everyone's expressions were heavy, and their hearts were very uncomfortable.

Although there was no war today, I saw the ferocity of the Eastern Turks.

Moreover, the city gate will last for half a day at most, and the city may be broken at noon tomorrow.

The most terrible thing is that there are only 600 cavalry on his side, which is seriously insufficient, and it is not a regular army.

If the city gate was breached, it would be almost impossible to rely on only 500 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to block the cavalry of the Eastern Turks.

"Miaoyan, Bowu, Danqiu, Siwen, you go back to rest, recuperate, and start the war tomorrow."

"Xu Shihui, you use the order of this official to inform the families of Liaozhou City to hold a meeting in the Assassin's Mansion and warn them not to be absent!"

Fang Yuan ordered while riding a horse and went back in the direction of the Assassin's Mansion.

Li Danqiu and Li Siwen obeyed the order and immediately left with six hundred cavalry to rest.

Du Miaoyan and Xue Bowu should also be, but they only left after escorting Fang Yuan back to the Assassin's Mansion.

Night soon fell, and everything was silent.

After a long day of fear, the people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During the day, they were all worried that the city gates would be breached and the Eastern Turk cavalry would come in.

Dawn at the beginning of the day.

Representatives of the major families in Liaozhou City finally arrived at the conference room of the Qi Thorn History Mansion.

But the faces are not very good-looking, almost all of them are straight faces.

Fang Yuan's ban on relocation made them very unhappy.

They are now trapped in the city of Liaozhou, and may be the fish of the Eastern Turk cavalry at any time.

"At most, the gates will hold out until noon tomorrow."

Fang Yuanhuan glanced at everyone, snorted coldly in his heart, and said indifferently.

When the words fell, everyone's faces changed greatly, and they all showed panicked.

"Fang Thorn Shi, can you let me go?"

Ye Chengmin's face was mixed with anger and pleaded.

They migrated from Yunzhou and other places to avoid war.

Now that Liaozhou is facing a war, but Fang Yuan has trapped them here, what is the point of them hiding from Yunzhou all the way to avoid the war?

Many people looked at Fang Yuan, they didn't want to stay, they hoped to leave.

At this time, if Fang Yuan was allowed to leave secretly from the other city gates, it would be no problem at all.

"Patriarch Ye, is it interesting to say such things at this time?"

"Many of you want to leave, but the official warns you that the official of the Quartet Gate has sent his henchmen to guard it, so if you want to escape, please try."

Fang Yuan looked at Ye Chengmin and sneered.

He's already said something unpleasant once, and he doesn't care about saying it more.

"Fang Thorn History, why is it so?!"

Ye Chengmin was angry and angry, staring at Fang Yuan angrily.

But he didn't dare to say anything more excessive, for fear of angering Fang Yuan at this time.

The same is true for others, who are deeply afraid of Fang Yuan at this time, afraid that he will really kill him.

"Okay, don't think about leaving, think about how to deal with the next problems."

"Liaozhou City will definitely not be able to hold it tomorrow, so this official has decided to go out of the city tomorrow to fight head-on."

"But there are too few cavalry, only six hundred, which is too far from the number of Eastern Turkic cavalry, and this officer needs your support."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and cut the iron.

He wanted to completely cut off the idea of these people leaving.

Only then will they really want to help, they want to be united.

The current Liaozhou City can only survive if it is united, and there is no second way to go.

Unless you say that the imperial court has received an urgent report from you, send troops to support.

But I can only look forward to it, after all, so many places have fallen in front of me and I haven't seen the imperial court send troops.

"Fang Thorn Shi, even if we gather enough 1,000 cavalry for you, we are not an opponent in a decisive battle with the Eastern Turkic cavalry!"

Liu Yongshou said angrily.

Quantity is one thing, quality is another.

Even if the Eastern Turkic cavalry is not elite, it is a perennial battle.

And the cavalry that he and others put together are all miscellaneous soldiers, and they have never been on the battlefield.

There was a huge gulf between the two sides, and even if they were in sufficient numbers, they were no match for the Eastern Turkic cavalry.

Everyone nodded subconsciously and agreed with Liu Yongshou's words.

That's why they want to leave, because it's really too big.

"It's normal to have gaps, all we have to do is stall for time."

"The imperial court will definitely not ignore our Hedongdao, as long as we unite to resist and delay until the imperial court reinforcements arrive, we will be saved!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Although he was not sure when the imperial court would have reinforcements.

There is no guarantee whether there are reinforcements.

But Liu Yongshou and others have to be given a shot in the arm, and the hope of life is still given to them.

Sure enough, after hearing Fang Yuan's words, the faces of the families present were a little better.

It's just that everyone was silent and didn't say anything.

"The Fenyin Xue clan has fifty horses, and they can all support Fang Thorn Shi."

"If you need manpower, you can provide it."

"I only hope that Fang Thorn Shi can hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Xue Wenbo suddenly opened his mouth and said with a full breath.

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect that the first one to cooperate was Xue Wenbo.

"Xie Xue, Elder!"

Fang Yuan immediately got up and thanked him solemnly.

It's good to have someone take the lead.

And it was Xue Wenbo who almost fell out, which made Fang Yuan even more grateful to the other party.

But I have to admire these great wang clans, just one branch, and they all have fifty horses in their hands.

You must know that Fang Yuan, as a thorn history, was only more than thirty horses when he had not exterminated the bandits.

It can be seen how strong these families are, and how thick the background is.

"There are only forty-three horses in the Liu clan of Xie County, and they can all support Fang Thorn Shi."

"But forget about the manpower, they are all scholars, and they can't go to the battlefield."

Liu Yongshou sighed and followed Xue Wenbo to support Fang Yuan.

There was no choice but to unite against the Eastern Turkic cavalry.

If he forcibly left at this time, Fang Yuan would definitely be ruthless when he turned his face.

You must know that if the city falls, the most likely person to be killed is the assassin.

Forcibly leaving at this time was undoubtedly pushing Fang Yuan into the abyss, and he didn't kill people.

"The Ye clan is from an alien family, and they don't have so much savings, and only eight horses all support Fang Thorn Shi."

Everyone spoke.

The families present all supported one after another.

There are families that only support horses, and there are families that support horses.

More than 20 families on the scene finally provided more than 300 horses to come out.

"Thank you!"

"Liaozhou City will definitely be able to hold on!"

"In the future, our business will also get bigger and bigger, and we will make a fortune together!"

Fang Yuan once again solemnly thanked.

There are more than 300 horses, which are about the same number as the Eastern Turkic cavalry.

Tomorrow, let Li Danqiu's sister and brother train before the war, and they can be regarded as cavalry who can go to the battlefield.

"I'll say goodbye!"

"I'll send the horses when I get back!"

"Please also ask Fang Tingshi to hold on until the reinforcements arrive!"

Everyone got up one after another and saluted Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan returned the salute and personally sent them out of the gate of the Assassin's Mansion.

Zhang San and the others were still in the office, and no one had a break.

After Fang Yuan sent these families away, he asked them to register the horses sent by the other families.

New riders are also arranged.

These things were all handed over to Zhang San and the others, Fang Yuan's spirit was tense for a day, and he was already too tired to do it.

When they returned to Fang Mansion, except for Li Danqiu's sisters and brothers and Xue Bowu, who were on the battlefield today, everyone else hadn't slept yet.

"Brother Yuan!"

"Sir!"

Zhao Zixuan, Hongxu Qingyuan and the others walked over, all looking at Fang Yuan worriedly.

originally wanted to send Yang Xiulan's mother and daughter away, but later worried that they would encounter the Eastern Turk cavalry on the way out, so they postponed this idea again.

At this time, it is even more impossible to send it away, and the Assassin Mansion can't take a bad head, otherwise it can't force the families to stay.

"I'm fine, you can go back and rest."

Fang Yuan sent them away.

He wants to be quiet now, to think about tomorrow's strategy.

Although I have discussed it with Li Danqiu and others today, I am still worried about the battle situation tomorrow.

Battlefield. It's the first time I've been on it.

When everyone saw Fang Yuan's situation, they didn't bother anymore and dispersed one after another.

As soon as everyone dispersed, the giant appeared, still with two things in his hand.

"The war came too suddenly, and there are only two life-saving things for you."

The giant handed things over to Fang Yuan.

One was a gold short-sleeved shirt, and the other was a strange box.

"What is this?"

"How do I use it?"

Fang Yuan took it curiously and asked.

"Golden wire armor, which can block ordinary knives and guns."

"Rainstorm pear flower needle, you can sneak attack the other party at a critical moment."

The giant explained, stuffing the two things to Fang Yuan.

Night, Chang'an City Palace.

Li Shimin was angry and scolded the spies for being waste.

Again and again, people were sent to reconnoiter the news of the Eastern Turkic cavalry, but the best time was missed again and again.

The 800 cavalry of the imperial court had already been assembled, but there was no accurate information about the Eastern Turkic cavalry, so they did not know where to send troops.

With the fall of several states and counties, Li Shimin became even more angry, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty were also furious, even at night, they gathered together to discuss countermeasures and deduce the consequences.

"Report!"

"Liaozhou City Emergency!"

"The Eastern Turkic cavalry is attacking the city, and the generals of Liaozhou will defend the city to the death, and ask the imperial court to support."

At this time, the battle report urgently reached Li Shimin.

"Liaozhou City?"

The ministers' faces were happy, but they soon showed a sad look.

Liaozhou City is just a small city, and even border cities like Yunzhou and Ulzhou have been broken, and Yunzhou can't hold it.

"Quick, order the cavalry to set off at dawn!"

Li Shimin thought differently from them.

He had been to Liaozhou City and knew that Liaozhou City was indeed a small city, and it was difficult to defend it.

But the key is that his own Ying Mengxian minister Fang Yuan is here!

Fang Yuan can solve the danger of 50,000 refugees, and a thousand cavalry can hold on.

Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, you must hold on, leave the Eastern Turkic cavalry, and the victory will be our Tang Dynasty.

News has been sent back from the front that the Eastern Turks have been defeated, and Li Jing and others are encircling and suppressing the fleeing Jieli Khan and other royal families.

However, if the Eastern Turkic cavalry that entered the belly of the Tang Dynasty occupied a favorable situation, then the war on the front line might be reversed.

The night passed.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the Eastern Turkic cavalry began to attack the city.

Fang Yuan and the others immediately prepared for battle, and today they were going to fight head-on with the Eastern Turkic cavalry.
