"Master Marquis, would you like to hear some advice? Dingxiang can no longer be defended. It cannot be defended! Li Shimin has long been suspicious of you, and Fang Xuanling even wants to put you to death. Even if you defend Dingxiang this time, you will still have merit.
Lord Gaogai, they won't let you go, why bother? Keep yourself useful and serve our Lord. Your glory and wealth will only be greater, not less! Wouldn't it be great if you could roam the world freely? But if you die today
If you die, then you are dead. Everything in the world has nothing to do with you anymore. Think of your family, think of your children!" Li Mu was extremely annoyed. He stood up holding on to the city wall, looked around at the robes beside him, and said loudly: "
Brothers, the enemy said, let us have a way to survive. What do you think...retreat or not?" "No retreat!" The man shouting was a lame soldier. He missed the opportunity to die with the enemy and ended up among the dead.
Waiting to die. But his tone was extremely firm. "No retreat! We are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, guarding the city of the Tang Dynasty. We will not retreat!" "No retreat! Why should we retreat? If they want to retreat, they will retreat too!
"Yes, don't retreat!" In the end, the chaotic statements were like trickling water into the sea, converging into a turbulent wave with one voice. "No retreat! No retreat! No retreat!" It was like a huge wave crashing on the shore, with endless aftermath, a determined and stubborn voice.
The vibrations spread in the vast desert.
Cui Wang stood under the city wall with an earthy complexion, and his face turned pale involuntarily. The sergeants in the enemy's front line in the distance were shaken by the roars of the Tang Dynasty defenders, causing a commotion. The entire front line was so frightened that they retreated two feet before they stopped.
Li Mu laughed loudly, held the flagpole of Yunlong Flag, and shouted: "Do you hear me clearly? Fight if you want, don't say more! Cui Wang, you'd better chop off my head, otherwise, I will kill your whole family!"
"
"Li Mu! At this time, how dare you speak so shamelessly!"
The negotiations broke down, and there was no room for change between the enemy and ourselves.
It's just life and death.
"Kill, leave no one behind!"
The military order was given, the horn sounded, and the front line moved forward with a roar.
Li Mu stood at the top of the city and laughed miserably. He was afraid of death and reluctant to die, but he still died without hesitation because of the heavy responsibility on his body, the last wishes of thousands of deceased people, and... the long-suppressed and reverberating feeling of injustice in his chest.
.
"Zhan——" The scarred Su Dingfang stood up straight and shouted sternly.
boom!
The arrow is on the string, the halberd is held straight, the yellow sand is like mist, and the golden sword is like a hook.
Looking at the enemy troops approaching the city wall step by step, Li Mu also picked up his Shangfang sword and raised his head to the sky and shouted: "The ambition to trap the enemy is life or death! Brothers, let's go together!"
"Let's go together!"
…
Bloody battle! Fighting!
The defense line has collapsed, the defeat is overwhelming, and the enemy troops have climbed onto the city wall. This time, no one rushed up to fight them back. People kept jumping down with the enemy troops in their arms, but even if they were one-on-one, the remaining
A few people can't make any waves.
"kill!"
There was a crisp sound of metal and iron hitting each other. Wang Huge blocked the knife coming from one person and used all his strength to slash the other person's neck. Blood spurted out, but he was also stabbed in the abdomen by another person and died on his back.
fall.
Su Dingfang killed and injured Wang Hu's men, panting like an ox. It was obvious that the oil was running out, and the remaining strength was at the end. Only an unyielding spirit was left to support the crumbling body.
"kill--"
Dugu Jiu suddenly burst into action, his thin body rose into the air, spinning like a whirlwind in the air, and a snow-white sword shadow floated up. Following a series of shrill screams, Li Mu was swept away by him within ten feet of him.
Once he was in the air, his feet landed on the ground. Dugujiu staggered and took two steps back. He couldn't stop himself and fell on his back. He had lost all his strength. In fact, he had no strength at all.
Another group of enemy troops stepped on Pao Ze's body and swarmed forward, staring greedily at Li Mu.
In their eyes, Li Mu is a military merit, a generous salary, a reward, and they are determined to win it.
Dugujiu fell to the ground, his face was frighteningly pale, his cheeks were twitching in pain, he turned his head to look at Li Mu, Dugujiu smiled miserably: "I'm sorry...Brother, I can only protect you so far in this life...I
, I have something to say to you, I..."
Li Mu smiled, very gently: "I understand, I understand."
Dugujiu choked, laughed, and cried.
As he spoke, the enemy troops took a few steps closer.
A captain whose name Li Mu could not recognize used his last strength to stand in front of Li Mu and shouted: "Don't hurt Mr. Marquis, come at me!"
After being chopped down with a sword, the enemy took another step forward.
"Stop hurting my Marquis, come at your grandpa!"
Li Mu's vision has become blurry. Everyone has only one life. How can he be worthy of trusting others with their lives?
The drums of the march outside the city became more and more urgent. Li Mu clenched the Shang Fang sword in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, we are on the road!"
All the people who were still alive stood in front of Li Mu. Their eyes were firm. At this moment, everyone knew they would die, but they wanted Li Mu to die in the end.
When retreating last night, Li Mu could have left, but he didn't. He could have survived, but he chose to stay.
What else can be said about such a general?
It’s just a death! The Marquis has already said that he has arranged to take care of the family members!
What else is there to say? It’s just death!
The marching drums are getting faster and faster, and the enemy is getting closer and closer!
"Don't move yet!"
Cui Wang's voice came again, and this time he climbed up to the top of the city.
He stood behind dozens of enemy troops and shouted to Li Mu: "Li Mu, these are the only people left around you. It's already a desperate situation. I'm asking you, will you surrender or not? The Lord knows what you are capable of.
If you surrender, the clan leader will treat you like a distinguished guest. You don’t have to worry about Cui Yuyan, he is just a puppet. The Cui family has descendants, and the hatred is not that big. You can turn around, you can turn around!"
Li Mu was shaking all over, and his consciousness was almost blurred. Blood slowly flowed out from the wound, and there were waves of coldness in the bones of his body. He didn't know how much blood was left in his body. He only knew that he was close to death.
Getting closer and closer, as if he had stepped into the gate of hell with one foot, just waiting for the other foot to step in. From now on, everything in the world has nothing to do with him. Cui Wang's shout made him wake up a little.
He opened his eyes, looked at Cui Wang, and smiled contemptuously: "Forget it, I... can't get along with villains."
"Kill him!"
Cui Wang finally gave up and gave the final order.
Dozens of enemy troops swarmed forward. Although the remaining defenders had lost all their strength, they did not wait to be killed. They took up their weapons and fought to death. If they could take one away, wouldn't it be a big profit?
Su Dingfang, who was standing in front of Li Mu, suddenly let out a painful groan. His left leg was stabbed so hard by the brutal enemy soldiers that the bones were clearly visible. Sweat and blood dripped from his face, and his face was distorted and became more ferocious. The marks on his cheeks
The muscles trembled and twitched with pain, and the left leg was slightly bent and suspended in the air. Only one intact right leg was left, jumping and waving the knife, and from time to time let out a roar of unwillingness in a desperate situation.
Finally, he fell down.
The next one was Dugu Jiu. He stood in front of Li Mu and wanted to use his body to block the knife for him. Li Mu looked at Dugu Jiu's beautiful face, and suddenly a burst of strength came out of nowhere and pulled him back violently.
He rushed forward from behind, and blood splashed onto Dugujiu's face. Matching his beautiful face, there was a sad beauty.
He wanted to hug Li Mu, but he really didn't have the strength.
Someone rushed over and pushed Li Mu and Dugu Jiu aside. Li Mu struggled to sit up and said to Dugu Jiu next to him: "This time it's really over!"
Under this situation, Li Mu actually had the intention to laugh: "We will die together and be reincarnated together, and in the next life..."
Dugujiu nodded vigorously, and Li Mu was about to say a few more words, when suddenly, a horn sounded in his ears.
desolate……
Heroic...
Then came the cry of killing. Dozens of people on the city wall looked over and saw smoke and dust billowing from the west, and the army was boundless!
Finally arrived!
A sharp ringing sound suddenly sounded from the enemy's military formation outside the city. The sound was so rapid that one could even hear the anxiety and panic inside.
The enemy troops on the top of the city were stunned, stopped moving at a loss, and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ringing Jin is the signal to withdraw troops, and the military orders are like mountains. But there are only these thirty people left in front of you, can you just let them go?
The few remaining defenders were also confused and watched blankly as the enemy retreated like a tide.
Cui Wang rushed to the city. In an instant, he guessed what Amul was thinking. The reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty had arrived. These stragglers outside the city were definitely no match for the 30,000 people led by Li Xiaogong. Amul knew that if he killed Li Mu, he himself would die.
, but if Li Mu is spared his life, depending on this favor, he might be able to survive.
"There is no shortage of tricks and strategies!"
Cui Wang cursed, "The enemy only has 30,000 people, but you have 60,000 people, twice as many people. You don't dare to fight. Why are you still alive? It's better to die!"
Cui Wang looked at Li Mu and ordered decisively: "Don't worry about Ming Jin, kill Li Mu, kill Li Mu, each person will receive a reward of one hundred taels!" He knew in his heart that for this plan, Li Mu must be killed before Amu can be freed.
You are determined, otherwise this grandson will definitely surrender!
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. When the more than a hundred servants on the city wall heard the reward of a hundred taels of gold, they immediately went crazy.
kill!
kill!
The thirty or so surviving defenders also gained strength as if they were looking back, and pushed forward regardless of their own safety. As long as they persisted until the army rushed over, they would have a chance to survive. Even if they themselves could not survive, they must let the Marquis survive...
Thirty versus one hundred, the melee suddenly started.
At this time, Li Xiaogong had already rushed within three miles of Dingxiang City.
He saw that Li Mu's Yunlong flag was still there, and there was still a trace of fantasy in his heart.
Li Mu, just hold on for a while and it will be fine in a while!
Erli...
One mile...
Under the leadership of Li Xiaogong, the Tang cavalry unreasonably tore a hole in the middle of the enemy army.
Already at the bottom of the city, Li Xiaogong could even hear the sound of killing people on top of the city.
"Li Mu, I'm here!"
Li Xiaogong shouted loudly!
Suddenly, a human head rolled down.
The flagpole made a harsh breaking sound, and Li Xiaogong raised his head in shock!
