"What did you say?" Mu Yangren's eyesight went dark, and he almost fell to the ground. He thought that since the Tang army outside dared to show a calm attitude, there must be at least four to five thousand people arriving one after another. Who?
Unexpectedly, the truth turned out to be just as I had guessed for the first time, there were only a few hundred people!
After spending half his life on the sidelines, he asked himself that he had never been so bold. But before, in order to interfere with Bai Shaer and others' judgment of the situation, he had repeatedly clamored to go out of the city and fight to the death with the Tang army! If Juche Bishi and others had really listened that day
If he told him, he would never have to return to his hometown again in this life. If the Tang general on the other side knew that he had given such an idea to Ju Chebishi, I am afraid that after the city is broken, he will not let anyone go.
he.
Thinking of this, several streams of cold sweat dripped down Mu Yangren's forehead. The little Taoist boy Liu Guan did not understand the master's mood and responded in a low voice, "They really only have a thousand people. Not only did I peek in and out of the camp gate
The size of the team, while they were cooking, they secretly counted the smoke in the camp. There are only a hundred and ten stoves in total, and they definitely cannot feed more than 10,000 mouths!"
"God!" At this moment, Mu Yangren was so angry that he banged his head against the wall. What is this? He wanted to open the city gate and lead hundreds of Tang soldiers and Tang generals into the city to deal with the fifteen thousand defenders!
No wonder the other party showed a calm attitude and repeatedly asked him to wait. If he and his right commander Zabier and others really dedicated the city gate, would the Tang soldiers outside have the courage to come in?
"Master, don't be anxious. Master, don't be anxious!" Seeing that there was blood on Mu Yangren's forehead, the little Taoist boy Liu Guaner finally realized that something was wrong. He rushed forward and put his arms around the other person's waist, "That's not what happened.
Isn’t it done yet? Isn’t it done yet? Besides, it was the Hammer King himself who took the initiative to ask Master to wait a little longer. I don’t know what changes will happen next!”
"Yes!" Mu Yangren suddenly saw a glimmer of light in the darkness. Even if it came from the tail of a firefly, he still had to hold on to it. Only a few people knew about the fact of contact with Tang Jun. As long as it was not leaked,
Once you get out, you will be safe. Next, just follow the current and let the Kaicheng plan fail.
"You naughty kid, why didn't you remind me earlier?" He gently hugged the young apprentice and scolded him in a flattering manner. The expression on his face was a bit miserable, as if he had just lost thousands of coins in gambling. "Today's words
, let it all rot in my stomach, don’t mention it to anyone, do you hear me? Once the news is leaked, not only you, but Master and I will also be killed!"
"I know, I know, don't worry, Master!" Liu Guan, the little Taoist boy, touched the place where he was hit and expressed his position in a low voice. Then he asked reluctantly, "Then do we still contact Tang Jun? That's it for this matter.
never mind?"
"Of course, forget it, you still think we didn't die fast enough!" Mu Yangren failed to understand his apprentice's thoughts, raised his eyes and scolded him in a low voice.
"But, but..." Xiao Liu Guan, who had been scolded, lowered his head and pouted. After being frustrated for a while, he couldn't help but gently tugged on Mu Yangren's brocade robe and continued to persuade in a low voice.
, "Master, Tang Jun may not lose. Didn't they ask for help?"
Regarding Tang Jun asking for help, Mu Yangren said it himself when he was analyzing the situation. Now that his apprentice repeated it, he had no way to refute it. He blinked his triangular eyes and pondered for a moment, and he also felt that it was right now.
It is a bit too early for the Tang army outside to draw a clear line. Since the Hammer King dares to lead a few hundred people to attack Zhezhe City, he may not have other options. Once Zhezhe City cannot be defended, he still
You have to prepare your escape route in advance.
Thinking of this, he began to hesitate again. After thinking for a long time, he said in a low voice, "You are right, let's not make a decision in a hurry. How about this, you go and get some sleep first, Master, I will go check on Bill."
Ask over there about the defense situation in the city. We, the master and the apprentice, will go separate ways. In a few days, if reinforcements really arrive, you can sneak out again and report the truth to the Hammer King. This way, if there is any emergency in the future,
If he breaks the city, we have merit. If he fails to break the city in the future, we won't do anything wrong as long as we keep the secret."
"Alas!" Liu Guan, the little Taoist boy, agreed and went down to rest happily. Mu Yangren, based on the results of the previous discussion, came up with the idea of sitting on the fence and watching. While collecting intelligence in the city, he was ready to cut off contact with Tangying at any time.
.He is now the palace manager of Juchebishi, and his position is very critical. All the latest military information has passed through his ears before being reported to Juchebishi. Soon, he found that the situation was getting worse and worse.
It has become complicated, so complicated that it is no longer possible to see its development direction clearly.
The princes and city lords along the Yaosha River are indeed leading the troops towards Zhezhe City. But the vast majority of them do not intend to act as pawns for the Tang army to attack Zhezhe City, but are determined to do so.
The idea of hedging their bets. Some of them were even bolder and even secretly sent people into the city to contact Juchebishi, promising that if the Dawan Kingdom was ready to go out of the city to fight to the death with the Tang army, they would follow suit at the critical moment.
At that time, the Geluolu people stabbed the Tang army in the back.
Of course, Mu Yangren was not sure how credible this promise was. Not only was he not sure, even the cunning Bai Shaer was only slightly happy for a while after receiving the letter, and then continued to go to the city with a livid face.
To paraphrase Right Commander Chabier, the guys who brought the message in were just preparing an extra escape route for their own family. It would be better to hope that it would snow heavily tomorrow if we expected them to really help the defenders.
The snow has not yet fallen, but soldiers and horses from the princes along the Yaocha River have arrived one after another. The first to arrive was Cao Yuanxin, the leader of the Dongcao Kingdom. Because it was close to Zhezhe City, his country became the first choice destination for the Tang army to dump their captured goods.
Therefore, Juchebishi was completely offended. If the Tang army withdrew before taking Zhezhe City, Juchebishi's first target of revenge would definitely be Dongcao. Therefore, this person was determined to follow him.
The Tang army fought side by side to the end.
The second arriving reinforcements were led by Cao Zhongjie, the leader of the Xicao Kingdom. This man claimed that he had the blood of the Dawan royal family and tried to compete with Juchebishi for the dominance of the Dawan State. Back then, Juchebishi obtained the power of the Great Cannibal.
With support, he reluctantly suppressed him and made him stay in a corner. Now that he saw that Ju Chebishi was unlucky, how could this person not come over and add insult to injury?
The third arriving reinforcement army came from Bahanna. It was led by Axilanda himself. The fourth reinforcement army came from Whitewater City. The leader was not the lord of Whitewater City, Herusha Ge, but his youngest son, Helusosuo. In the middle of the
On the way, someone had been secretly informed by Juchebishi, saying that this action was completely out of coercion, and that when the time came, they would only wave flags and cheers for the Tang army, but would not actually fire any arrows at Zhezhe City.
As the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth supporting army teams arrived one after another, Mu Yangren found that he was getting more and more frustrated. The Tang army did not immediately organize superior forces to attack Zhezhe City, as if waiting
A better opportunity. Prime Minister Baishar, who was still on pins and needles before, has regained his composure and gradually stabilized the morale of the army after constantly receiving secret communications from the princes outside the city. Although he did not immediately launch a counterattack outside the city.
, but concentrated all the most elite forces in the city into the hands of himself and a few of his confidants.
Baisha'er was waiting, waiting for the best opportunity to take action. For the past few days, this man's eyes looking out of the city were full of smiles.
Do you want to continue hooking up with people outside the city? Mu Yangren, who has been fishing for side jobs for half his life, has never been as hesitant as he is today. The situation is completely out of control. No matter what choice he makes, it becomes a gamble. If he is not careful, he will
Lost to pieces.
"Tianzun, God of Fire, Allah, Buddha, no matter who of you is in charge of this Gada, come out quickly and make a decision." Looking at the light gray clouds on the top of the city, he murmured a prayer. "If it persists any longer, I will give him to him.
I’m so worried!”
Maybe his prayers were effective, or maybe God really wanted to make things difficult for the Tang army outside. The day of decision came just as it was said. Just when Mu Yangren couldn't decide whether to send his young apprentice out of the city to continue to collude with the Tang army
, an envoy from the princes risked his life to deliver a piece of extremely shocking and then extremely angry news to the city - the real strength of the Tang army was about 2,500, of which nearly half were temporary reinforcements.
The team’s horse thief!
"Is what you said true?" The moment he received the news, Ju Chebishi's complexion changed from a desperate gray to an excited black and red. He overturned the table and rushed forward in three or two steps, carrying the letter.
The messenger's collar asked.
The unlucky messenger was cold and tired. Before he could take a breath, he was caught in the air by Juche Bishi, and his hands and feet were flailing wildly. It took a long time before he responded intermittently: "Really, really. My Khan
Check it carefully. Let go, let go, woo, woo..."
"I'm so angry!" Juche Bishi felt ashamed and hateful. He threw the envoy to the ground and roared loudly. Sitting on an army of 20,000 people, he was so frightened by the 2,000 improvised mob that he couldn't leave the house. From now on
In the future, how can I hold my head high in front of the heroes? What's even more hateful is that those damn Tang people actually emptied more than a dozen of their own forts where they stored food, grass and luggage, and it took me more than two years of hard work to accumulate this.
A little bit of family wealth.
"Khan, don't be angry, Khan!" Since the envoy had the courage to risk being discovered by the Tang army and come in to give Ju Chebi a message, he was naturally no ordinary person. He rolled on the ground and climbed up quickly.
He stood up, hugged Juche Bishi's waist and shouted, "What's more important now is how to expel these Tang people. My Khan said that in the entire Yaochashui, you are the only one with the highest prestige. So you must personally lead the troops."
Go out of the city and make a break with the Tang army so that he can take the lead in responding."
"Of course I want to end my relationship with the Tang people! If I don't kill them all, how can I swallow this bad breath!" Ju Chebishi wanted to kill more than just the thousands of Tang soldiers outside the city. He put his hands on his waist and bent
