Comeback 25
Just listening to the momentum of these three arrows, you can know that the person who sent the arrow is undoubtedly Lai, and in the entire Xiangyang City, only he can shoot such exquisite arrows. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Meng Kai was taken aback, during this period of time attacking the city day and night, the defenders in the city had already lost their momentum, and even the weapons defending the city were consumed, although they did not take Xiangyang, but in his opinion, there was no power to resist, why did the Tang army still have bows and arrows.
Feeling the sharp arrow, he knew that the archer was extraordinary, so he dared to be careless, and hurriedly dodged and retreated.
At the same time, a rain of arrows was frantically shot on the city wall, which immediately pressed the rebels' brigade back, and only Meng Kai and Xie Tong were left under the entire city wall.
Meng Kai dodged the three arrows, he immediately thought that this was the Tang army deliberately hiding his strength, so he was not in Tuoda, and hurriedly ran towards Xie Tong, Xie Tong had no power to fight back at the moment, when he was captured, but the city head shot down three bamboo arrows again, as if he had eyes, and approached his body in three ways, and he was not allowed to advance to capture Xie Tong at all.
A figure suddenly jumped down from the city wall, rushed to the center of the two like a wind, and without saying a word, he mentioned Xie Tong, turned around and ran towards the city wall.
And a rope happened to be put down on the city wall, and the black shadow carried Xie Tong, jumped suddenly, pulled the rope, and climbed up the city.
Meng Kai shouted angrily, the person who got it was actually rescued, how could he not be angry, let alone allow this kind of thing to happen to him, spread it, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth.
He suddenly lifted the true qi of his whole body, and suddenly slammed out a palm towards the black shadow who was climbing the rope, and the palm strength poured into the true qi of his whole body.
The black shadow is none other than Xie Tong's good brother, Huo Zixin.
Huo Zixin climbed halfway, and sensed Meng Kai's attack, he was in mid-air at the moment, that dared to meet this palm, he was in a hurry, and stepped the city wall with both feet, and his body immediately swung out, and he was able to dodge Meng Kai's palm.
The palm slammed on the city wall, making a deafening sound, and knocked down several green bricks from the city wall, and Huo Zixin, who was watching, gasped, if this hit a person's body, wouldn't it be crushed.
When the figure swung back, he immediately quickened his speed and crawled towards the city, and in a short time, he had already reached the city.
Meng Kai was speechless with anger, Fang Cai didn't have so much nonsense, how good it was to directly tie up Xie Tong, and now the cooked duck actually flew.
Lao Lai stood at the head of the city and said with a smile, "More Venerable Ones will send my brothers back, and those few arrows should be regarded as a meeting gift to His Holiness!"
Meng Kai said angrily, "Okay, Lai Kezhong, you wait, when the deity captures Xiangyang the next day, I will definitely peel you and cramp." ”
Everyone sent Xie Tong to Wang Daoxun's mansion quickly, and after a short journey, Xie Tong actually fell asleep, and when he woke up, everyone gathered around him, and couldn't bear to wake him up.
And Hong Shan's eyes were even redder, obviously crying a few times.
Wang Daoxun stood aside, and he was much older at the moment.
Xie Tong hurriedly checked the injury, and Meng Kai's palm made him not lightly injured, but fortunately, there was no major problem, but the true qi was exhausted, and the inside was exhausted, and it was no big problem to rest for a while.
Seeing Xie Tong wake up, everyone was overjoyed, and they were busy shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
Wang Daoxun said in a low voice, "Since it's all right, let's go back!" Let him rest more, everything is waiting for him to reply, let's go!"
Lao Lai wanted to speak and stopped, and reluctantly led everyone away.
Hong Shan did not retreat, and when she saw everyone leaving, she boldly withdrew her shoes and socks and squeezed onto the bed.
Xie Tong reluctantly said: "Shan'er, is this Sichun, don't forget, I don't forget that I have no strength now!"
Hong Shan glanced at him and said, "Death Phase, where do you want to go!" Shan'er hasn't seen Brother Tong for a long time. Do you want to sleep with you all night? Don't think too much, hurry up and rest, tomorrow the king will discuss things with you!"
After that, she lay down gently beside Xie Tong and hugged him tightly.
Xie Tong felt very tired, and the breakthrough made him finally realize the limit of a person, no matter how invincible he was, after all, he couldn't withstand thousands of troops?
He tried not to think about this, turned over and hugged Hong Shan, and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, it was already noon, and the beautiful woman beside him had already gotten up and was preparing porridge waiting for him.
He checked the injury, the internal force was already full, I have to say, Huang Tian Dafa is indeed second to none in repairing the injury and regulating the meridians, except for the faint pain in the meridians and back, he is no longer in trouble.
Hong Shan was busy feeding him porridge.
Xie Tong looked at the beauty in front of him, and he was really full of emotion. He stretched out his right hand and gently stroked Hong Shan's cheek.
Hong Shan said shyly, "What are you doing, everyone is waiting for you in the yard! Don't let them see jokes, okay?"
Xie Tong smiled dumbly and said, "What's this? Shan'er stayed here last night, everyone knows it, you and I are husband and wife, what is there to be afraid of!"
Hong Shan saw him eat up the porridge in the bowl, and said, "Don't say it, can you come down now, the adults still have important things to discuss with you!"
Xie Tong only remembered at this moment that there was very important news for him to enter the city desperately this time, so he was not flirting and scolding, put on Xie Tong, and pulled Hong Shan to the courtyard.
Everyone is waiting for him, including Wang Daoxun!
Xie Tong said, "The last general has seen Lord Wang."
Wang Daoxun waved his hand and said, "If there is any situation, just say it directly!"
Xie Tong took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, and said, "The last general is ashamed, he failed to move the rescue soldiers this time, and he was entrusted by the adult, please punish the adult!"
Wang Daoxun shook his head and sighed, "As expected, Song Wenyuan is a scheming and stubborn person, how can he send troops! I'm not wrong, get up, and stop it!"
Xie Tong said, "Lord Xie, although Song Wenyuan did not send troops this time, his situation is also very bad!"
Before Xie Tong finished speaking, Wang Daoxun interrupted him and said, "You mean that the Huangchao soldiers are divided into two routes, and Zhu Wen leads the army to enter the south of the Yangtze River and go north to Shandong!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, Xie Tong was even more surprised, judging from everyone's reactions, it was not clear about this matter, Wang Daoxun knew about the world's major events based on speculation.
Xie Tong said, "Yes, my lord's overall situation, the end will admire it!"
Wang Daoxun said, "The old man has already guessed that Zhu Wen can fight well and is a general second to none, but he does not participate in the attack on Xiangyang, but lets the waste-like Meng Kai preside over the overall situation, I think it is to divide the troops to fight to the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise Xiangyang would have been broken long ago."
Nightingale suddenly realized, and said, "No wonder the enemy army has no effect in attacking the city during this time, it turns out that the troops are insufficient!"
Hong Shan said, "It should be so, but even if we divide our troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to defeat the enemy under the city." After all, the advantage of strength is there!"
Lao Lai said, "What did I say, the enemy army has so many people, the surrounding food should have been eaten up a long time ago, why can it last so long, it turns out that there are fewer people."
Huo Zixin said, "Zhu Wen's trick is really powerful, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, there is a lack of food and grass, and it must be Huangchao who is starving now, it won't be long before they will retreat from the army due to lack of food and grass, or move closer to Zhu Wen, in this way, the embarrassment of Xiangyang City can be lifted!"
Xie Tong wanted to say that Huang Chao used people as food and didn't worry about food and grass at all, but he didn't want to stop talking, he didn't want to dispel everyone's hope of survival, this news was too painful, and he immediately said, "My lord, the last general has organized mercenaries in the Luoyang area, the number is about 20,000, commanded by Wu Zhiting, and he is stationed outside the city. I hope this army can ease the situation in Xiangyang!"
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and from this point of view, Xie Tong did not run in vain.
Huo Zixin said happily, "It's so good, it seems that we have been saved."
Wang Daoxun suddenly got up and said, "Xie Tong, follow me to the study, the others will inspect the city defense, check the grain and grass, our army will fight to the death with the enemy!"
As soon as these words came out, the people's morale soared, and they have been in a situation of being passively beaten in Xiangyang City for the past few months, and this time they were finally able to fight back.
Everyone obeyed Wang Daoxun's order and got up to prepare.
Xie Tong followed Wang Daoxun alone and entered the study.
The two of them sat down separately, and after a while, Wang Daoxun said, "Say it! What bad news is there! What are your plans for this breakthrough!"
Xie Tong secretly exclaimed, he didn't say a word, but Wang Daoxun could see the bad situation outside, and guessed Xie Tong's thoughts, he paused, and said, "My lord is smart, our army previously adopted the plan of attrition, waiting for the enemy's grain and grass to run out, and he would retreat, but Huang Chao was cruel and unreasonable, and ordered the soldiers to secretly kill the innocent people around him, secretly boil the broth, and distribute it to the soldiers, so he lasted so long, and in the long run, they will definitely be able to resist better than us, and the civilized grain and grass will be eaten up, and they will not starve." We have no other way but to abandon the city!"
When Wang Daoxun heard the news, his body trembled violently and said, "Evil, feeding on people, heaven is intolerable, Huang Chao, Huang Chao, in order to dominate the world, is it so inhumane?" As he spoke, he was in tears for a while, and continued, "The old man had already guessed that Huang Chao had a way, but he didn't expect him to be so inhuman, hey, I called you in alone this time, just because I didn't want them to know how difficult our situation is!
Xie Tong said respectfully, "I have made an appointment with Wu Zhiting, and after two days to break through from the north gate, he will cooperate with us to attack the defenders in the north of the city, and the inside and outside should be combined, and he can leave Xiangyang."
Wang Daoxun said without thinking, "Okay, just do it! Let's prepare for the next two days, and you will lead the army in the city at that time."
Xie Tong seemed to hear something from Lord Wang's words, and said in surprise, "My lord, you are the city guard of Xiangyang City, and it should be you who command the whole army to break through."
Wang Daoxun sighed and said, "The old man can't keep Xiangyang, then he is still qualified to serve as the city guard, if Xiangyang is here, the old man will not let go, if Xiangyang is lost, the old man will not be able to live in the world." The old man is willing to live and die with Xiangyang".
Xie Tong was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, no, there are many enemy soldiers and horses, this loss of Xiangyang is not your fault, but the pedantry of the courtier, even if Sun Wu is resurrected, I am afraid that he will be defeated in Xiangyang, and you will not be guilty of this crime." This must not be done!"
Wang Daoxun said righteously, "Xie Tong, you are just a blind eye, once Xiangyang is lost, the enemy army will go north, even if the old man survives in the world, he will be condemned as a heinous person by Sima and others, there is no good end, and if you die on the battlefield, you can still leave a good name, otherwise you will be left behind." ”
Xie Tong didn't expect Wang Daoxun to be so stubborn, and said, "My lord, only when you are alive can you be sure of turning over, you are a wise person, how can you take your reputation so seriously, it is simply a disappointment to the general." ”
Wang Daoxun was finally furious, and said, "What do you know, it is as easy as you say, if the old man is not here to contain the enemy army, can you or leave? It's just nonsense, the old man will order you now, two days later, at dusk, according to the agreement, you lead the army to break through, there must be no mistake, otherwise the military will be punished!"
Xie Tong said helplessly, "My lord, is there no other way?"
Wang Daoxun said firmly, "I have made up my mind, go down! Remember not to let Wanru and them know, and besides, the old man has prepared the carriage and planks in advance, you can completely ignore the enemy's trap and prepare to rest! These two days are your last carnival, whether you can leave Xiangyang or not, it depends on your creation!"
Xie Tong felt guilty in his heart, this veteran who had fought on the battlefield all his life, had seen through the battlefield and officialdom, and was also fully prepared for their departure, such a selfless spirit made him admire.
Xie Tong knew that it was difficult to persevere, so he had to follow his thoughts, thinking of this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully three times.
Wang Daoxun waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Xie Tong walked out of the study stupidly, his mood was indescribably heavy, Wang Daoxun's decision to live and die with Xiangyang was the most correct and wise choice for him, as a soldier, there is no ending that can be respected more than dying on the battlefield, Xie Tong understands him and admires him.
The Tang Empire is so downtrodden, almost all the power is in the hands of Sima Xuan and other nobles, and they can't see through the general trend of the world, and they can't break the philosophy of political power.
Xie Tong had just walked out of the study, and before he had stepped far, Hong Shan suddenly flashed out of the path at the intersection and blocked his way.
Xie Tong was only contemplative, startled by her, and hurriedly said, "Why is Shan'er here, why don't you go and celebrate with everyone!"
Hong Shan didn't answer, but took Xie Tong's hand and dragged him straight into Hong Shan's room.
Xie Tong was very surprised and said, "Shan'er, what is this doing, don't forget that my body has not recovered yet, and it is not suitable for sexual intercourse!"
Hong Shan straightened his face and said seriously, "Where is Shao talking about everything, tell me, Lord Wang called you alone, what did you talk about?"
Xie Tong secretly admired Hong Shan's keenness, but thinking of the serious consequences of this matter, he couldn't tell anyone until the mystery was revealed, thinking of this, he said casually, "It's nothing, it's just something about the counterattack, after all, Lao Tzu has just successfully broken through the majestic level, and he knows a lot about the enemy's internal situation, so my lord will ask me to find out." Xie Tong admired his words very much, which could be described as seamless. (To be continued.) )
