Chapter 45 Perseverance
After a while, Li Bai and the others returned to the palace from the secret gate, and Li Gesang held his hand tightly: "Li Daxia is doing a beautiful job!"
Li Bai didn't answer, and slowly put down a person from behind, but it was Tian Li, and two arrows stuck in his body and pierced through his heart. When Li Gesang saw it, tears rolled down, pounced on Tian Li's corpse, and cried loudly: "In the twenty years since the founding of this king, most of the veterans who fought with me have died of illness, and Fang Qing died of a traitor's heart, I can't imagine that my only brother, Brother Tian, you have left me!" ”
His expression was very sad.
You must know that Tian Li has followed Li Gesang since he was a teenager, although he is called the chief administrator in the palace and his position is not high, but he is Li Gesang's brother who is like flesh and blood. Li Bai saw Li Gesang's previous sadness, knew that this person had a close relationship with His Majesty, and after setting fire to the giant tree, he immediately carried Tian Li's body back.
When everyone saw Li Gesang's sadness, they all looked stunned.
At this moment, people outside the forbidden city gate shouted and neighed, making a strange noise.
Everyone looked down in a hurry, and they all screamed bitterly, only to see the flag waving, and a huge handsome flag with a big "that" on it, obviously Nalong's army had arrived.
Tang Dynasty looked carefully, and saw that the long white beard was fluttering, riding on a green horse, looking proud.
Li Gesang had stopped his grief at this time, looked at Na Long with an indifferent expression, and thought in his heart: How can these hundreds of people under my command fight against tens of thousands of people, it seems that they can only give up the foundation of Dali.
Clapped his hands and said: "Listen to the words of this king, and now the enemy is coming to help, the disparity between the numbers is huge, and it is useless to die in vain, as long as Li Gesang does not die for a day, he will definitely return to this place, why don't all the kings disperse?" ”
Tang Chao shouted: "Your Majesty, by all means, we are willing to die for Your Majesty, and we have no heart." ”
The rest of the generals also said: "I am willing to fight to the death for Your Majesty!" ”
None of them wanted to go. You must know that the remaining people are absolutely loyal to Li Gesang, and they are naturally unwilling to give in. Li Gesang thought to himself, I was worried that these people were all people who tended to be inflammatory, but I didn't expect that this king would fall to this point, and they could still follow each other with death, and his heart was very moved, and his spirit was lifted: "Gentlemen, thanks to the love, if this king obtains the throne of Dali the next day, he will share it with you, and now the situation is as dangerous as a tired egg, and it is the best plan to leave, you must work hard to move forward and stick to it until tonight, when it is night, you will be able to escape!" ”
Everyone agreed, stepped up the inspection of the fortifications, fortunately, the inner palace is strong, condescending, it can be said that Li Bai's poem said, "One husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open!" ”
Li Bai and Tang Dynasty inspected the fortifications, and said worriedly: "Brother Xian, the big wood on the Wolf Zhengxuan Mansion dedicated to breaking the city gate was burned by us, even if he looks for another big tree, it will not be able to find it within a few hours, some small beams, forgive me will not be able to break through the city, what my brother is worried about now is the master of Wolf Zhengxuan, because although the forbidden city is solid, it cannot stop the martial arts master." ”
Tang Chao said: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, but Your Majesty and the eldest brother are both strong in martial arts, so I forgive you and Wolf Zhengxuan and others do not dare to take risks easily." ”
Li Bai shook his head and said: "Brother Xian, you don't know, Wolf Zhengxuan and Sheva are both resourceful people, knowing that it will be difficult for us to escape now, and we can only escape until the evening, they will obviously take advantage of this daytime to step up the attack, Shewa Wugong and I are between Bozhong, if Wolf Zhengxuan comes, only the prince can resist, if you add Nalong and the "Five Tigers of Zhenshan", the situation is very unfavorable."
Tang Dynasty had never thought about this problem, and was surprised when he heard this: "Yes, if these people climb the city wall, Your Majesty will be in danger." ”
Li Bai sighed: "Looking at the current situation, it is bound to be defeated, but the emperor doesn't seem to be willing to leave like this, in fact, he said that it would be good to escape at night, but that was just a prevarication, I don't know what he plans?" ”
Tang Chao was taken aback: "This, big brother, do you mean that the emperor has something to hide from us?" ”
Li Bai said categorically: "Yes, if I guessed correctly, I can escape through the secret passage where I took people out to burn wood just now, and if the emperor really wants to leave, he can immediately take us and others away, and it is very secretive, but I don't know why he did this?" ”
Tang Chao showed a look of surprise on his face: "Could it be that the emperor wants to defend the city to the death?" ”
Li Bai nodded slowly: "I think it's possible, Brother Xian, you have no martial arts, staying here, it's useless to die, it's better for a foolish brother to send you out of the city, once the war is tight, I don't want to give my life in vain for my brother, I will come out of the city to meet you!" ”
Tang Chao was deeply moved, thinking of Li Bai's true feelings for him, his eyes moistened: "Big brother, you are not Li Gesang's person, it is enough to do this for him, you can go!" I, I am the son-in-law of His Majesty, how can I flee from the battle? I'm not leaving! ”
Li Bai sighed, knowing that persuasion was also vain persuasion, and said suddenly: "If you don't go, of course I won't go, Brother Mo Jie (Wang Wei) said it well, stubbornly defend the jade city, it is hard to buy a brother, since Your Majesty treats me as a brother, Bai will fight to the death, it is really not good, it is not too late to get out, forgive me in Nanzhao Kingdom, no one can keep me!" ”
The last few sentences are full of confidence and have a kind of spirit that looks down on the world.
Tang Chao was moved by his arrogance, and said loudly: "The eldest brother is so heroic, and the younger brother is not far behind, rest assured, only teach the wolf Zhengxuan to dare to take risks alone, and he will be told that there is no return!" ”
Li Bai was taken aback: Wolf Zhengxuan's martial arts are only higher than his own, and even he is not sure that he can kill him, Tang Xiandi does not know martial arts at all, but why dare to say such a thing?
But Tang Chao had already smiled and said: "The eldest brother will know later, but the younger brother is now going to sell a pass." ”
At this time, there was a shout from the wall, it turned out that Wolf Zhengxuan had begun to attack the city, and Nalong was very happy to see Sheva, and ordered the command army to attack the city immediately.
The beams brought by Wolf Zhengxuan were too much to use, and they were poured down by Li Gesang and others with fire oil, and the rockets were a little bit, and they suddenly burned, only knocking out a few big seals from the city gate, but they were not shaken in the slightest, but the city gate became a sea of fire, and they could not get close.
But as soon as he saw Nalong's military horses coming, he immediately knew that the time for a strong attack had come, and with his sword in hand, he ordered the government soldiers to lead and set up a ladder to attack the city.
Li Gesang and the others had already prepared, hiding behind the protective body, and the wooden cannon rained down, and the forbidden army did not suffer any casualties, while the other party had already suffered dozens of casualties. However, Sheva did not sympathize with the soldiers, and stood in the corner of the wall with his sword, cut down the two commanders and eight soldiers who had retreated to the ground, and ordered him to quickly build a ladder and attack more, and he was allowed to advance but not retreat, and he had to open the gap at a huge cost.
This time, the city wall suddenly tightened, and the Yi soldiers rushed forward without their lives, killing a batch, and another batch, rushing forward one after another.
In this tense fierce battle, Wolf Zhengxuan laughed and said to Sheva: "General Sheva, the soldiers under your command are really elite soldiers, and the old man admires them!" ”
A rare smile appeared on Sheva's face: "The captain has won the award!" ”
Wolf Zhengxuan said: "Now is the time when the Li thief is the weakest, like this kind of attack, with the strength of the palace, it is enough to hold on for six hours, why don't I wait to cross the wall and cut a gap, Li Thief can be punished with a snap of his fingers, does the general think so?" ”
Sheva also saw the heavy casualties of the soldiers, Mingjin withdrew his troops to organize the second round of attack, and said to Wolf Zhengxuan: "What the captain said is, but if you want to be able to cross the wall, you must be a strong martial artist, you and I are the commanders, we must stay to supervise the battle, and we can't attack in person, how dangerous will this method be?" ”
Wolf Zhengxuan said: "It turns out that General Sheva doesn't know that there is a secret passage in the forbidden city? ”
When Shewa heard this, he really slapped his thigh: "Taiwei is extremely worried, if you don't fight quickly, I am afraid that Li Gesang will escape, which will leave endless disasters, Taiwei, please rest assured, I will send the 'Zhenshan Five Tigers' to bring nine people with martial arts skills to you at your disposal!" ”
Wolf Zhengxuan's troops are limited, and what he is waiting for is Sheva's words, and he is overjoyed after hearing it, and he drinks Ling Rong Gong to bring six wolf and tiger elites to assemble and act together with the "Five Tigers of Zhenshan".
