After listening to Wang Hu's explanation of the causes and consequences, Bai Qiaoqiao immediately said decisively.
"No!" Wang Hu heard this and said hurriedly: "The Turks are about to attack the city, and there are dangers outside Dingxiang City. If you go back now, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Li Mu entrusted me to send you and the old lady to Chang'an, that is
In order to get you out of danger so that he can feel at ease and cope with the war with all his strength, what else can you do if you go back now besides distracting him? Don’t let Li Mu’s heart be disappointed!"
"Brother Wang, I know I can't do anything." Bai Qiaoqiao spoke with tears in her eyes, "I can't draw the bow, lift the sword, let alone kill the enemy. But I am his wife,
He is in danger now. It's fine if I don't know. Since I know, how can I escape by myself and ignore him? I can't do anything, but I can accompany him, he will live, I will live, and he will
If he dies, I will die too. Anyway, if he dies, I don’t want to live anymore.”
Wang Hu was so anxious that he stamped his feet and said: "How can you have such an idea, you are so confused! Li Mu is going, he knows what he will face, entrusting you and the old lady to me is exactly what he wants, and
How can it be said that you ignored him? Besides, don’t you think about it, if something happens to Li Mu and you go with him again, who will take care of his old mother for him?"
"Didn't you say that Master Tang Jian promised Lang Jun that he would take care of his family? I also heard Lang Jun say this. When he escaped from camp to deliver the letter, Master Tang Jian promised him that if anything unexpected happened,'
"Your mother, I will raise you." I believe that Lord Tang Jian must be a man of faith. Brother Wang, there is no need to persuade him anymore. I must go back. If you don't send me back, I will walk back!"
With that said, Bai Qiaoqiao raised her legs and was about to leave. Wang Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll have someone take you back!"
Bai Qiaoqiao stopped and looked back at Wang Hu. With tears in his eyes, Wang Hu said, "Are you forcing me? Do you think I don't want to go back? If it weren't for sending Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to Chang'an, I would have
Just go back! There are big things on both sides, and there is no time to delay. Tell me what to choose! Qiaoqiao, don’t blame me. There are only ten people guarding the convoy now. I will send two people to take you back to Mayi, and then they have to come back. You
Listen to me, just wait in Mayi, and don't get close to Dingxiang City. If you are captured, let Li Mu throw a rat weapon!"
"Thank you, Brother Wang!"
Wang Hu took out the money given by Li Mu from his arms and handed it to Bai Qiaoqiao, saying: "This is the money left by Li Mu. Sister Qiaoqiao, please listen to Brother Wang's advice. If something unexpected happens to Li Mu,
Never do anything stupid."
Bai Qiaoqiao took the money bag in her hand, opened it and took a look, her eyes suddenly filled with joy: "Brother Wang, is this the money Lang Jun asked you to give me?"
Wang Hu nodded, Bai Qiaoqiao held the money bag tightly and said, "Great! With this money, maybe... Lang Jun can be saved!"
Outside Dingxiang City, the sun sets in the west.
"Woo...buzz..."
The long horn sound sounded, and the Turkic soldiers who were attacking the city retreated like a tide. The fierce battle that lasted all afternoon finally came to an end. After this battle, it is certain that the Turks are indeed not good at attacking the city. Although they are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of death.
But first of all, there were no siege equipment, and secondly, they didn't know how to siege the city. In one afternoon, there were already many corpses piled under the city head, while on the defender side, only more than 20 people were injured and six died.
Such a great victory was thanks to the iron caltrops and iron thorns set up by Li Mu. Several times, the flying claws were too late to cut them off. The Turks were about to climb up the city, but they didn't want to grab the iron caltrops and prick their palms, screaming.
After falling down the city wall, the masonry and tiles obtained from demolishing the houses were all put to use. Those craftsmen who did not know how to use bows and arrows picked them up and smashed them around. Whether they hit the head or the body, they could
Knock the Turks off the rope.
In contrast, the only thing the Turks could do that could cause damage was bows and arrows. Princess Yicheng did not think about dividing her troops, but with the experience of Ximen and Li Mu arriving in time to take command, there was no breakthrough in other gates. On the contrary,
The pressure on the west gate was suddenly reduced, and the four gates were like four meat grinders, strangling the lives of the Turkic soldiers at a faster speed. Seeing that dividing the troops was ineffective, Princess Yicheng focused on the west gate again, trying to use human lives to pile down the city.
The flying claws from the city flew up in a whoosh, and were cut off by the young man defending the city. When they cut the flying claws, they couldn't avoid being hit by arrows, so they were carried down. Another person quickly came to take up the position. The number of casualties on the defending side of the city was huge.
Most of them are at this time.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, the Turks could no longer stand this suicidal siege tactic, and their momentum began to decline. Seeing this, Li Mu took the lead, rushing in front, picking up bricks and stones, and smashing them, not even caring about the arrows.
He smashed the bricks down desperately. When the others saw this, they also imitated like crazy. The Turks' flying claws didn't work either. Before they could climb a few steps, they were smashed down, and then more bricks were smashed down.
, turned into a puddle of meat. The Turks were frightened by this momentum and hesitated to step forward. Princess Yicheng had no choice but to withdraw her troops.
Seeing the enemy retreating, cheers rang out from the top of the city. Li Mu sat down holding on to the wall. He had no strength at all now. In that moment, he didn't know how many bricks he had smashed. He would have known he had this ability.
, I was no longer a programmer in my previous life, and I could buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou even if I moved bricks.
Li Siwen collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly vomited. Li Mu looked at him strangely. Li Siwen pointed forward and retched: "There is a hand there!"
Li Mu looked over and saw that there was indeed a severed hand, and his stomach churned. He didn't know which unlucky guy it was. His palm was pierced by an iron thorn and was hanging there. Someone stabbed him again and cut off his arm.
"We've killed so many people, I'm afraid of a broken hand." Li Mu said nonchalantly, and after finishing speaking, he also started vomiting. He looked around and saw that there were many people vomiting. Most of the people here,
They are all craftsmen from neighboring counties, honest and responsible people. Who has ever killed anyone? During the fierce battle, I had no time to think about these things. Now that the war has been interrupted, I looked around after the joy. There were broken walls everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the air.
, there are really not many people who can persist without vomiting.
Finally, he had almost vomited out everything he had eaten for lunch. Li Siwen picked up the water bag on the ground, drank some water and rinsed his mouth, and said, "Li Mu, do we win the battle?"
"Win?" Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Where are you now? Less than 300 Turks died, and their vitality is not damaged. I think Princess Yicheng is bound to win. I'm afraid she won't retreat, but her morale is
Seeing the defeat, we will withdraw our troops. Let's wait and see tonight. Only after tonight can we see some clues."
Li Siwen sighed: "Why hasn't my father come yet?"
These words also expressed what Li Mu was thinking. Based on the distance, Li Ji's reinforcements should have arrived, but there is no sign yet. After a long time, he slowly exhaled and said: "Maybe it was delayed, don't think about it.
