Chapter 53: Reinforcements

Tang Chao laughed: "Very good, I'll shoot him with an arrow!" ”

took the bow from Li Bai's hand, put on the arrow, and shot it down, crooked and weak, and the accuracy was even worse, there was a distance of nearly 100 steps from Wolf Zhengxuan, and the soldiers in the city and the city saw it, and they all felt interesting, and laughed.

Tang Dynasty wanted this effect, and quickly shot the second arrow in his hand diagonally, this time, he did a little strange on the arrow, and attached the narcotic bottle that had been prepared to the arrow, this time it was a little accurate, but it was still more than ten steps away from Wolf Zhengxuan, and it was completely out of order, and the archery was ridiculously poor.

Wolf Zhengxuan laughed: "Boy, there is only one arrow, I will stand here and not move, if you force me to move, then I will lose!" "I thought, such an archery technique actually dares to come out of the world, isn't that to laugh at other people's mouths?

But as soon as he said this, he suddenly felt dizzy, and the world was spinning for a while, it turned out that the anesthetic of the Tang Dynasty had taken effect at this time, and no matter how high his wolf Zhengxuan's martial arts were, he couldn't stand it.

At this moment, the third arrow of the Tang Dynasty flew in, but this time, the target was surprisingly accurate.

It turned out that the Tang Dynasty had been practicing archery hard with a great master like Li Bai in the past few days, and because he had no internal strength, his strength naturally had no merit, but the accuracy was already good.

Of course, this is Li Bai's comment.

You must know that Li Bai is peerless, but he likes the Tang Dynasty unspeakably, although there is an element of praise when he says this, but the Tang Dynasty has some talent in archery, which is an indisputable fact.

Wolf Zhengxuan shouted in his heart that it was bad, but the skills he had practiced hard for decades played a role at this time, and he forcibly held his breath to prevent the poisonous gas from continuing to hurt his internal organs, and waved his hand to open the third arrow of the Tang Dynasty. In another flash, he flashed to the outside of Zhang Xu, knowing that the poisoning was not light, he was in a meditative posture, and he breathed and breathed, but he never dared to say a word.

Li Bai was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Wolf Zhengxuan, your body has moved, do you count as losing?" ”

The three armies in the city and under the city saw that the Tang Dynasty's archery was commonplace, and they were all laughing, but they couldn't think of why this third arrow forced a master like Wolf Zhengxuan to dodge and flee, and he couldn't sit still, although he was full of suspicion in his heart, but Wolf Zhengxuan's body really moved, that is, he self-destructed his oath, and he naturally lost.

Li Gesang and the others naturally knew that the Tang Dynasty had used trickery again, and they looked at each other and smiled, very grateful. You must know that if Li Gesang and Wolf Zhengxuan compete fairly, Li Gesang will undoubtedly lose, and the Tang Dynasty has saved face on behalf of his father-in-law, and it has made the three armies not lose their spirit, and the credit is great.

Li Gesang saw that Wolf Zhengxuan was busy breathing, and took the opportunity to say: "Brother Wolf Zhengxuan, although you have been defeated, but for the sake of brotherhood, you don't need to shoot you with a crossbow with ten shots, how about a decisive battle tomorrow?" ”

Sheva knew that Wolf Zhengxuan had been poisoned by the Tang Dynasty's anesthetic again, and he was angry, but in order to keep the army's morale stable, Wolf Zhengxuan replied: "Okay, Li Gesang, I and the Taiwei will fight in Japan!" ”

Rong Gong picked up Wolf Zhengxuan, returned to the camp, recuperated for a long time, and his body recovered, and said in shock: "I once heard Sheva say that the Tang Dynasty would poison, but I didn't expect his poison to be so powerful, Sheva lost hundreds of people in this poison last night, and it was really true." "All pro-soldiers were ordered to watch out for the enemy's poisoning, ready to plug their nostrils at any time.

Because of the defeat in both battles, Sheva's army was relieved, and he ordered the soldiers to recuperate in the battalion, preparing for a large-scale attack tomorrow, and dragging down Li Gesang with a war of attrition.

At this time, I saw a big dust in the distance, and a group of people rushed over, with the word "Li" written on the banner, but it was Wolf Zhengxuan who finally mobilized his henchman Li Tie and brought 30,000 troops from the imperial court to help. You must know that Wolf Zhengxuan is a lieutenant of Nanzhao, who has a prestige in the army, and even imprisoned the Manchu Dynasty.

Li Gesang saw Li Tie's army coming from a distance, and knew that the city was broken only in an instant, so he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven will kill me, and it is not the crime of using soldiers!" ”

When Li Bai and the others saw the situation, they also knew that it was hopeless to hold on, and their faces were pale.

Li Gesang said sadly: "Everyone, this king originally wanted to put down the rebellion, and enjoy the wealth with all the kings, but today's situation, it is impossible to do, the only way, is to abandon the city and go, maybe there is a way to live, otherwise, trapped in the lonely city, even if it is defended for a while, but the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, I am afraid that once the city is broken, all the kings will die with the king!" ”

Tang Chao cried: "Your Majesty, don't do it! ”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Tang Chao would say this, and looked at him together.

The Tang Dynasty knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the city of Dali is strong enough to hold on, Your Majesty has also said, like this natural danger, even if there are millions of soldiers, it is difficult to capture for a while, why not defend according to the danger, to exhaust the enemy army, in order to wait for the army of the king?" I want Your Majesty to be benevolent and wise, there will be a lot of His Majesty's dead soldiers in the army, the son-in-law has been pleased with the King for a long time, and the King of Law was to save His Majesty in the army of the Yi Department that day, and now the news of His Majesty's rescue has already spread, the King of Law is talented, and he has a reputation in the country, if the son-in-law guesses well, he should rely on peerless martial arts, quietly enter the military department to lobby the generals of King Qin, His Majesty also sent accidentally sneaked into the military department, presumably there will be some effect, Your Majesty can hold on for three days, if the reinforcements do not arrive after three days, then it is not too late to escape! ”

When Li Gesang heard this, he felt that it was reasonable, and thought to himself, once the king escaped, the Manchu Dynasty minister was held hostage by Wolf Zhengxuan, and he would definitely support him as the king, and Wolf Zhengxuan would be able to excel.

Immediately said: "The Tang Dynasty is right, the forbidden city of Dali is strong, Shewa only has more than 20,000 people, but the previous two battles, more than 10,000 dead and wounded, and a lot of escape, now to help the enemy army is only a few thousand, and I used to promote the old general, the attack will not do its best, I wait as long as the danger is defended, Wolf Zhengxuan is naturally anxious, three days later, and then make plans!" ”

When the generals heard Li Gesang's analysis, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, the enemy army added up to only 20,000 horses, and each of them was ordered to lead his troops to hold on.

The Tang Dynasty stayed by Li Gesang's side until the generals left one by one, and then he said: "Your Majesty, the city is extremely urgent, and the son-in-law thinks that it is necessary to urgently ask the high-ranking monks of Tianlong to protect the country and be safe?" ”

Li Gesang pondered for a long time, and finally said, "It's okay, you come with me!" ”

Li Gesang returned to the dormitory with the Tang Dynasty, ordered the maid to take out two sets of ordinary robes, one of them wore one, and walked out of the secret door and came to the streets of Dali.

It was the day of March, the spring was cold, the Tang Dynasty blew his hand, looked at both sides of the street, only to see the market was deserted, the bluestone streets were full of yellow leaves, obviously because of the war, the market was not prosperous.

Seeing this scene, Li Gesang shook his head and sighed, led the Tang Dynasty to the street and walked straight down, about three miles, and saw a tall tower in the distance, backed by Cangshan Mountain, facing Erhai Lake, which was the Qianxun Tower of Chongsheng Temple. And here, it is also the royal temple of Nanzhao, which is magnificent and magnificent, and has an alternative spirit of dominating the world.

Li Gesang came to the outside of the mountain gate, made a joke to the little novice, and said: "You go to report to Elder Yuanyuan, and say that the old man Li Luo is visiting." ”

Li Luo is Li Gesang's nickname, and only a few monks such as Elder Yuan Yuan know it.

Not long after the little novice entered, an old monk in his sixties touched the rosary in his hand and welcomed him out of the temple accompanied by a group of monks.

I only heard Elder Yuan Yuan proclaim the Buddha's horn and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

Li Gesang looked anxious: "The kid has to come!" ”

Elder Yuan Yuan immediately understood: "Please, the abbot will wait for tea!" ”

Originally, when His Holiness Xinyue was here, he presided over it, but once he left the temple, it was temporarily presided over by the former Venerable Elder Yuanyuan.

Elder Yuan Yuan put Li Gesang and Tang Chao into the abbot, ordered Xiao Shami to serve tea, and then said, "Your Majesty has something to say!" ”

Li Gesang gave a general account of the current situation, and finally talked about the intention of moving the rescuers.

Elder Yuan Yuan said angrily: "Your Majesty has suffered this great disaster, and the Chongsheng Temple is willing to make a small effort!" ”

Li Gesang felt a little at ease, knowing that the monks in the temple were not weak in martial arts, and there was great hope for them to help each other, and there was great hope for holding on for three days.

Li Gesang thanked him repeatedly, and when he left, he took nineteen monks with him, led by Fang Zhi, the eldest disciple of Xinyue, and still returned from a long distance.

When the Tang Dynasty returned to the city, the sound of shouting and killing was heard from afar, and the two armies fought very fiercely, and hurriedly met them. Li Gesang scolded: "Sheva untrustworthy people, obviously said that they would fight tomorrow's decisive battle, but now when their reinforcements arrive, they actually watch the battle in advance!" ”

But he didn't care about scolding, and commanded all the soldiers to kill the enemy bravely.

Wolf Zhengxuan's attack this time was really fierce, it was wave after wave, and he would never let Li Jun have a moment to rest, and he was determined to win with the advantage of troops.

Li Bai and others fought fiercely for several hours, and gradually felt exhausted, and suddenly received the assistance of the nineteen monks of Tianlong Temple, and the spirit was greatly shaken, and the military spirit was at ease.

You must know that the youngest of these nineteen monks is forty-seven or eighteen years old, all of them have good martial arts, and two of them are particularly outstanding in martial arts, one is Fang Zhi, and the other is the disciple of Elder Yuan Yuan.

This time, Li Bai, Prince Fuhu and others were able to take turns to rest, replenish their physical strength, and the situation was controlled.

The Tang Dynasty was secretly frightened, and he couldn't imagine that the war was so cruel, and when he looked down at the city, he saw a mountain of corpses, but Wolf Zhengxuan still ordered the soldiers to attack the city and never give up.

Over there, Sheva took the Yi soldiers to attack the city gate, and smashed the city wall with big logs one by one, wanting to break the city gate directly, Li Jun had already prepared, and ignited the prepared fire oil and threw it, and the giant wood suddenly crackled and burned, and the attacking soldiers screamed. This fire oil is taken from the deep mountains of Dali, when the water is not extinguished, Shewa and other water to put out the fire, but the more the rescue is worse, the fire is even bigger.

Sheva had no choice but to order the soldiers to exit the fire cave before finding another way.

On this day and night, Wolf Zhengxuan did not rest, and ordered the soldiers to attack the city day and night, and the consumption on both sides was huge. But Wolf Zhengxuan has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he is not sympathetic to the casualties of the soldiers, but on Li Gesang's side, counting the men and horses, plus the previous loss of 1,600 people, up to now, has lost 2,500 people, and the forbidden city army only has about 2,000 left, and many of them are wounded.

If it weren't for the monks of Tianlong Temple who took the lead and fought bravely, I'm afraid they would have been unable to hold on.

Li Gesang and Tang Dynasty were both scheming people, but when they saw such a scene, they also shook their heads secretly, knowing that the army's heart had been shaken, and the forbidden city might not be able to hold it.

Tang Chao was standing beside Li Gesang at that time, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in your opinion, how long can our army hold out?" ”

Li Gesang said: "There is a possibility that the city will be broken at any time!" ”

Tang Chao sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Mencius said well, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, looking at the current situation, it is very difficult to hold on for three days, why don't you withdraw from the capital now, in order to make a comeback?" ”

Li Gesang actually had such an opinion in his heart, and when he heard Tang Chao say this, he sighed and said: "Okay, I'll go and tell the generals!" ”

"Hey, what's that?" At this time, Tang Chao shouted in surprise.

Li Gesang looked along the fingers of the Tang Dynasty, and saw a black oppression in the distance, and the dust covered the sky, obviously a large number of troops galloping.

Tang Chao was excited: "Isn't King Xinyue coming to help us?" ”

Please have flowers to support us, thank you!
