Li Dingyuan's vision went dark, and he almost fell down. He glared at Magistrate Tang fiercely, and Li Dingyuan's voice trembled.
"Tang Shizhan, don't think that I don't know the Thule people's military structure because I'm not on the battlefield. Is there a Thousand Thule army outside the city?"
Magistrate Tang nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is very discerning. There is indeed a team of thousands of people outside the city."
Zhao Pu came up from Zuihong Downstairs. He looked panicked, took a few steps, kneeled down and said, "I am late to escort you, and you deserve death."
Li Dingyuan waved his hand: "How many people do you have in the city, and how many can you gather together?"
Zhao Pu lowered his head even lower: "There are one hundred and twenty captains in the city, and only fifteen of them can get up."
At the end, Zhao Pu lost his voice. Ding Xiangjun's fighting skills were average and he was proficient in eating, drinking and playing. This time it was over. Whether he could save his head or not depended on whether Su Lu could hold on.
Li Dingyuan glared at Zhao Pu: "I'll look good on you when I go back."
On the city wall, with Su Lu deliberately letting go, Thule soldiers attacked the city again.
Su Lu pinched the number, waved his hand, swung out the steel knife, and chopped down a Thule soldier who climbed up from the battlements.
"kill"
The spears were like a forest, thrust out suddenly, like a dragon coming out of its cave, the guard battle formation blessed by the formation card was like a wall crushing over, the Thule soldiers on the wall were instantly slaughtered, and the Thule soldiers were pressed down again.
Under the city, Captain Hasul of Thule had a gloomy face. He drew his sword and chopped down the retreating centurion. His voice was cold: "Whoever dares to retreat again will be like this."
The blood stained the leather armor. The other centurions all took a few steps back. The leader's face turned pale and he argued:
"Hasul, attacking cities is not what I, the Thule Warriors, are good at. The two centurions are gone. If this continues, even if the entire army is wiped out, we will not be able to attack the city."
Hassul looked at the city gate and gritted his teeth bitterly: "With the inner Ying, we could have broken down the city gate without anyone noticing, but these damn southern barbarians actually had a banquet at the city gate and ruined my good deeds."
"The whole army pressed forward, attacked again, captured Beiyang, and massacred the city for three days."
Several centurions looked at me and I looked at you. No one wanted to go into battle. It was the centurion who just spoke:
"Hasul, even if we attack the city, we will not be able to defend it. The Han army has an unparalleled formation. With ten men in formation, we cannot stop it."
He had also attacked the city just now and saw the power of the military formation. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he would have been doomed.
In the distance, the gate of Nanguan Camp opened wide, and a fire dragon flew out, heading straight for Beiyang as if flying.
The guards from the Nanguan Camp were finally dispatched.
Hassul gritted his teeth: "Withdraw"
The Thule soldiers blew the retreat horn, and the Thule soldiers on the wall retreated like a tide, mounted their horses, and disappeared under the city in a blink of an eye.
Hassul, who was galloping on horseback, glanced back at Beiyang City and said viciously: "When the army arrives, I will tear your Beiyang City apart."
"The Thule soldiers retreated"
Cheers sounded from the top of the city, and the guards raised their weapons and roared loudly.
In a bloody battle in the middle of the night, many of our comrades were killed and wounded. With a small force and a large number of troops, they actually repelled the Thule people's attack.
At this moment, the guards at the top of the city were excited. They fought bloody battles with Thule and survived the disaster.
Zuihonglou, Li Dingyuan breathed out a sigh of relief: "We won!"
Li Qing said matter-of-factly: "Of course, Su Lu leads the army and never loses. These Thule people are attacking the city just to die."
Zhao Pu wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, Brother Su was able to resist the Thule people, otherwise the entire Dingxiang army would not have been able to escape being beheaded.
County Magistrate Tang bowed and said: "It was your prince who blessed the heavens with great blessings and protected the army and repelled the Thule people's attack."
Li Dingyuan's face was full of joy, and he ordered: "Reward, all the guards guarding the city tonight will be rewarded."
Li Qing was lying on the railing, looking at the small wonton stall at the entrance of Zuihong Building, with a discouraged smile on his face, and ordered: "He Wu, go and buy two buckets of wontons with money and send them to the Wei army.
"
Li Dingyuan nodded: "The sergeants have been fighting in the middle of the night, so it's time to send them some food. Qing'er has considered it comprehensively, and is worthy of being a soldier."
Under the city, Li Kun finally arrived with his troops.
Su Lu stood at the top of the city and gave instructions: "Let the Dingxiang Army clean up the city walls. Bury the dead and injured Thule people on the spot. Put away all the horses, swords and guns. Li Kun will lead your people up the city wall."
Li Kun agreed, turned around and ordered Yang Tongshan, who was leading the troops: "My captain has an order. Captain Yang, have you heard it? Bury the dead, collect the horses, swords and guns."
Yang Tongshan's face turned cold: "Fart, we are all captains, why..."
The sword and gun were placed on his neck at the same time. Yang Tongshan swallowed back his next words, his face turned pale, and he thought, "Are all the people in the Beiyang City Patrol Camp so neat and agile? They can do it without force."
Su Lu lay on the city wall and laughed loudly and said: "Captain Yang, don't worry about my brother being impatient. Please don't enter the city tonight if you decide to join the army. If anything happens,
I am not good to you."
Yang Tongshan thought to himself, "Can I disagree? Is your brother impatient?"
"The captain has an order, but I dare not obey it."
The city gate opened, and Li Kun led his troops into the city, replacing Su Ping's first battalion who had been fighting for half the night.
Su Lu came down from the city wall and asked Zhao San and his wife who were cleaning up the dishes: "How is the business recently? No one dares to bully you anymore, right? There are no gangsters in Beiyang City to cause trouble anymore, right?"
Zhao San smiled naively. What he saw on the city wall just now made him more determined not to join the army. Originally, he saw Li Kun and Fatty Zhao serving as camp captains one after another, in charge of 200 people, which was so majestic.
, I was also moved, but I saw the dead people on the city wall.
Forget it, I'd better sell wontons safely. With my second brother protecting me, I can do my own small business safely.
"Everything is fine, second brother, your battle is really dangerous. I think Su Ping was stabbed in the chest. It doesn't matter."
The little Niba next to him was drinking wonton soup and said angrily: "Third brother, don't worry so much. My captain still has arrow wounds on his body. He also killed several Thule soldiers today. Su Pingpi is rough."
It’s thick, it’s okay.”
A guard came over, stopped Su Lu and said, "Master Su, please come to Zuihong Mansion."
Su Lu looked up at Zuihonglou. Li Qing and Li Dingyuan were both upstairs.
"I won't go. Please reply to the prince and say that I still need to appease the soldiers and clean up the city defenses to prevent any more spies from trying to assassinate the prince and princess. I will also send out scouts to find out the movements of the fleeing Thule soldiers."
"Kill my brothers for disturbing the nobles. This Thule Thousand-man Army deserves to die."
When the guard who sent the message heard that there was a spy, his expression immediately changed: "Don't worry, Sir Su, just go ahead and do it. I will go up and report it to the prince."
Li Kun hurried down from the city wall, his face a little ugly: "Second brother, there are serious casualties in Camp B, and we don't have enough medicine."
Su Lu pointed to the city gate: "Go and borrow some of the medicine from Dingxiang Army."
After hearing this, Li Kun sent his men to borrow medicine, and asked casually: "If I want to write an IOU, please write your name?"
Su Lu was dissatisfied: "What kind of IOU are you writing? You borrowed the medicine based on your strength, what else do you want to pay back.
Let me tell you, if Su Ping hadn’t worked hard today and the brothers in Battalion B hadn’t worked hard, Zhao Pu’s head would have been moved and Ding Xiang’s army would have been destroyed.”
"What's wrong with lending him some medicinal materials? That's what he should borrow."
