"Did you faint now?"
Looking at Wen San, who collapsed directly in front of him with a "pop", Xiao Han suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart...
Can we just rely on these losers to defend the city? Or, do we dare to defend the city?
However, now that the enemies have arrived, it seems that it is not the time to investigate the quality of the soldiers. Xiao Han can only smile bitterly, crawl from the bottom of the city to the top of the city, stick to the battlements, and cautiously poke his head out.
outside the city.
The imagined enemy's pressure did not appear. Looking down from the top of the city, we could only see some soldiers sitting in twos and threes under the shade of trees on the roadside in the distance. As for the war horses, their bridles were unfastened.
Idlely eating the green grass on the roadside.
Seeing this incredible scene in front of him, Xiao Han was stunned!
Why do these people not look like they are here to attack the city, but instead they look like they are here for an outing?
"Hou... Lord Hou, are these the people from Goguryeo who came to attack the city?"
On one side, Xiaodong and others also looked at each other in confusion at this moment.
They were considered old men on the battlefield, but they had never heard of such an attack on a city.
Could it be said that these people are not preparing to attack the city, but are preparing to besiege the city?
"telescope!"
Hearing Xiaodong's question, Xiao Han did not answer directly, or in other words, he had no way to answer! He could only grab the telescope from the idiot's arms, intending to see it more clearly before talking.
Outside the city, the place where those people rested was not far from the city gate.
However, due to the obstruction of the leaves, I could only get a vague view of it.
Through the telescope, Xiao Han roughly saw that the number of these people was only about one or two hundred, and they were all cavalry!
After discovering this, Xiao Han's hanging heart immediately relaxed.
Cavalry has no law
Those who attack the city! This is common sense in this era!
Of course, this does not mean that the cavalry can only ride horses and cannot even carry a siege ladder.
It is true that the cavalry at this time is too valuable!
From selection to training to being equipped and put into the battlefield, the cost of a qualified cavalryman alone is enough to cover the cost of dozens of infantrymen!
That's it, not counting the money for the war horse!
Let such a cavalryman, who was almost piled with money, run to attack the city with ordinary soldiers? I guess even if the officer's head was kicked by a donkey, he would not give such an order!
"Is this the cavalry? Does Bangzi have cavalry? How did their cavalry come? Is it brought here on a boat?"
After realizing that it was impossible for the opponent to attack the city, Xiao Han's mind immediately came to life. It was obvious that if these were Goguryeo people, then there were only two ways for them to get here.
One is to take the Western Liaoning Corridor, then along Hebei, enter Shandong, pass through big cities such as Jinan and Qingzhou, and finally arrive here.
However, this road is obviously unworkable.
Not to mention big cities like Jinan and Qingzhou, just talking about Yingzhou, which is very close to Goguryeo, Xue Wanche was in charge there!
With this ruthless man here, only 200 cavalrymen? Even 2,000 cavalrymen are not enough for him to swallow in one gulp!
Therefore, if there is no way to go by land, there is only one way to go by sea.
It's just that with the small boats of Goguryeo, it's okay to transport a person, but it's a bit reluctant to transport large animals like horses. Besides, it's useless if they transport some cavalry?
"Disaster
road……"
Thinking of this, Xiao Han's body suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly concentrated again and looked at the soldiers under the tree!
Sure enough, this time, he really saw something:
As far as the costumes on those cavalry are concerned, where are they from Goguryeo? They are clearly orthodox Tang costumes!
It was just that he couldn't see clearly because it was blocked by the shade of the trees. Now he looked carefully and finally he could see clearly.
"oops!"
With a fierce slap on the thigh, Xiao Han jumped up from behind the battlement!
And as he jumped, people outside the city immediately noticed him. Two tall men rushed out from the shade of the trees!
"Master Hou, be careful!"
Xiaodong was looking out of the city attentively. Who would have expected that Xiao Han would suddenly jump up? When he reacted, he was horrified when he saw the two men rushing from outside the city! He screamed and jumped up.
, want to overwhelm Xiao Han!
However, before he could pounce on Xiao Han, something seemed to pull his ankle!
The next second, he lost his balance in the air and fell down.
"Plop!"
A face was hit hard on the solid city wall! Xiaodong's eyes were filled with stars, his nose was sore, and there seemed to be two birds spinning around above his head. He couldn't crawl for a long time.
stand up.
"Well……"
But behind Xiaodong, Lunzi tried his best to pretend that it was none of my business.
But he seemed to have forgotten something. In his hand, he was still holding tightly on a shoe that Xiaodong had dropped...
"He, what's wrong with him?" Xiao Han, who had just jumped up, was also frightened by Xiaodong and hurriedly
Asked.
"It's okay!" A looked at Xiaodong on the ground, then at the two familiar figures below the city, with a rare smile on his face, and said, "Maybe he didn't see the people outside clearly and thought they were Goguryeo soldiers.
"
Indeed, the team outside is not the Goguryeo soldiers mentioned by Wang Mengcai, but the real cavalry of the Tang Dynasty!
The two men running in front were none other than Xiao Han's good friend, Liu Hongji! And Niu Jinda, who used to guard Jinan!
Poor Xiaodong's eyesight was too poor, and he was disturbed by the false news about the Goguryeo attack on the city. For a while, he failed to notice it, and this finally turned into an own mistake.
"Lao Liu! Lao Niu!"
When Xiaodong got up from the ground in a daze, he saw that Xiao Han had climbed up the city wall and was saying hello to someone below in surprise.
"Lao Liu? Lao Niu?" Upon hearing these two titles, Xiaodong groaned in pain and climbed up the city wall to look down.
Sure enough, Liu Hongji's familiar big face was right under the city!
Moreover, this guy was obviously startled after seeing himself. Immediately afterwards, he asked loudly in surprise: "Xiao...Xiaodong? Why is your face flat?"
"Why is my face flat?"
Hearing these words, Xiaodong's face trembled violently. Now he wanted to yell: If it weren't for you, a bastard pretending to be a Goguryeo and attacking the city, would my face be slapped on the ground?
But that's what I thought. In fact, Xiaodong opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't make any sound.
That's all, after all, this guy is also a prince.
He is just a bodyguard of the Marquis. If he really scolds him and offends this guy, even the Marquis may not be able to protect himself.
