Chapter forty-ninth fierce battle

"I want to go back!"

After listening to Wang Hu's narration of the causes and consequences, Bai Qiaoqiao immediately said resolutely.

"No!" Wang Hu hurriedly said: "The Turks are about to attack the city, and there are dangers outside Dingxiang City. You are going back now is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Li Mu entrusts me to send you and the old lady to Chang'an to get out of danger so that he can rest assured and deal with the war with all his might. What else can you do when you go back now? Don't let Li Mu down!

"Brother Wang, I know I can't do anything." Bai Qiaoqiao said in tears when she spoke, and said, "I can't pull the bow, I can't raise the knife, and I can't kill the enemy. But I am his wife, he is on the verge of danger now, it would be fine if I don't know. Since I know, how can I escape from birth by myself and leave him alone? I can't do anything, but I can accompany him, he will live, he will die, and I will die. Anyway, if he dies, I won't want to live."

Wang Hu stamped his feet in a hurry and said, "How can you have such an idea? You are confused! Li Mu's journey, he knew what he was going to face. He entrusted you and the old lady to me. It was exactly what he thought in his heart. How could he say that you ignored him? Besides, you don't think about it. If Li Mu has a few mistakes and you go with him again, who will serve his mother for him?"

"Didn't you say that Lord Tang Jian promised that Lang Jun would take care of his family? I also heard Lang Jun say this. When he ran away from the camp to deliver the letter, Lord Tang Jian had promised him that if there was an accident, 'Your mother, I will raise him', I believe that Lord Tang Jian must be a loyal person. Brother Wang doesn't have to persuade him anymore. I must go back. If you don't send me back, I will walk back!"

As he said that, Bai Qiaoqiao raised her legs and was about to leave. Wang Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll send you back!"

Bai Qiaoqiao stopped and looked back at Wang Hu. Wang Hu said with tears in his eyes, "You are 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 gone back long ago! Both sides are big things and cannot be delayed. How can I choose? Qiaoqiao, don't blame me. There are only ten guards in the convoy now. I will send two people to send you back to Mayi, and then they have to come back. Listen to me and wait in Mayi. Don't get close to Dingxiang City. If you are captured, Li Mu will be afraid of the mouse!"

"Thank you, Brother Wang!"

Wang Hu took out the silver given by Li Mu from his arms and handed it to Bai Qiaoqiao, saying, "This is the money left by Li Mu. Qiaoqiao, listen to Brother Wang's advice. If Li Mu really encounters an unexpected accident, don't do anything stupid."

Bai Qiaoqiao took the wallet into her hand, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly she looked happy in her eyes: "Brother Wang, did the money be given to me by the husband?"

Wang Hu nodded, Bai Qiaoqiao held the purse tightly and said, "That's great! With this money, maybe... the husband is saved!"

Outside Dingxiang City, the sun sets.

"Woo...buzz..."

The long sound of the horns sounded, and the Turkic soldiers siege the city retreated like a tide. The fierce battle lasted for the afternoon finally came to an end. After this battle, it can be confirmed that the Turks were indeed not good at siege. Although they were not afraid of death, they had no siege equipment, and secondly they did not know how to attack the city. In one afternoon, there were many corpses piled under the city head, and only more than twenty people were injured and six people died.

Such a big victory was thanks to the caltrops and thorns set up by Li Mu. The flying claws were too late to cut off several times. The Turks were about to climb up the city, but they didn't want to grab the caltrops and pierce their palms, screaming and falling to the city. The bricks and stones obtained by demolishing the house were all used. Those craftsmen who could not use bows and arrows picked them up and turned their heads and smashed them. Whether they hit the head or the body, they could knock the Turks off the ropes.

In contrast, the only thing that the Turks could do was to cause damage was bows and arrows. Princess Yicheng didn't think about dividing the troops, but with the experience of Ximen and Li Mu arrived at the command in time, there was no breakthrough in other gates. Instead, the pressure on Ximen was reduced sharply. Four gates were like four meat grinders, strangling the lives of Turkish soldiers at a faster speed. Seeing that the division of troops was ineffective, Princess Yicheng specialized in Ximen again, trying to use human lives to pile down the city. The flying claws under the city flew up, and then were cut off by the young and strong guarding the city. When chopping the flying claws, they could not avoid being caught in the arrow, and were carried down, and then they quickly made up for the position. Most of the casualties and injuries on the guarding the city were at this time.

Finally, when the sun was about to set, the Turks could not stand this suicide siege tactic, and their momentum became declining. Seeing this, Li Mu led the way, rushed forward and picked up bricks and stones and smashed them. He didn't even care about the arrows and smashed them down desperately. Seeing this, the others followed suit as if they were crazy. The Turks' flying claws were no longer useful. Before they could climb a few steps, they were smashed down, and then more bricks and stones were smashed down, turning into a pool of meat mud. The Turks were shocked by this momentum and did not dare to go forward. Princess Yicheng had no choice but to call the gold to withdraw their troops.

Seeing the enemy retreat, cheers sounded from the city. Li Mu sat down with the wall. He was no longer in strength now. At that moment, he didn't know how many bricks he had smashed. If he had known that he had this ability, he would not have been a programmer in his previous life. He could buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou even if he moved bricks.

Li Siwen collapsed on the ground, breathing air in big mouthfuls. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly vomited. Li Mu looked at him strangely, and Li Siwen pointed forward and retching, "There is a hand there!"

Li Mu looked over and found that there was a broken hand, and his stomach churned. I don’t know which unlucky guy was pierced by an iron pierced hand and hung it there. He was then repaired and his arm was cut off.

"So many people have killed, and one broken hand is afraid of being too bad." Li Mu said indifferently. After saying that, he also vomited. He looked up and saw that there were many people who vomited. Most of the people here were craftsmen from neighboring counties and honest people. Who had killed anyone? When the fierce battle just now, there were no time to think about these things. Now that the war was interrupted, the joy was over, and there were broken walls everywhere. There were only a few who could persist and not vomit.

Finally, he vomited almost all the food he had eaten for lunch. Li Siwen picked up the water bag on the ground, drank a little water and rinsed his mouth, and said, "Li Mu, are we winning this?"

"Win?" Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "There are only here? Less than 300 Turkic talents died, and their vitality has not been damaged. I see that Princess Yicheng is bound to win, and I am afraid that she will not retreat. But she is so angry that she will withdraw her troops when she is declining. Let's look at it. Only after tonight can you see some clues."

Li Siwen sighed: "Why haven't my father come yet?"
