"Boom!" Thunder kept coming, and lightning danced wildly in the dark clouds like a python.

Shiguo Special Forces and Talas City Lord Yihu stood in front of the window, watching the heavy rain outside, dancing with excitement.

His prayers were effective, and the gods had responded, allowing a thunderstorm to fall from the sky.

Water can put out fires. As long as the heavy rain continues, the Tang army will not be able to continue shooting the iron thunder that will explode as soon as it hits the ground. The feather arrows and flying crossbows in the hands of the Tang army will also greatly reduce the lethality of the heavy rain. As for the cloud ladder, in such a violent rain, there is no possibility of standing firmly, and it cannot be used as a passage for the Tang army to climb the city wall!

"Secret Service, the proverb said that the thunderstorm comes as fast as it goes." Dagan Shetuo walked behind Yihu with a hunched back and reminded him worriedly. "Whether to leave or stay, my subordinates advise you to make a decision early. While the Tang army did not siege the city, they also came from afar, and their troops were exhausted..."

"Go? Where to go? Let me sweat? Will Mo He start a war for me and Tang Jun?! Yi Hu turned his head suddenly, the excitement on his face instantly turned into anger, and his hands were clenched into fists in the air.

"Don't misunderstand the special service, don't misunderstand!" Dagan She Tuo was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, and waved his hand with a pale face, "Isn't I advise you to sweat, I..."

Due to the weak character of the current king of Shi Kingdom Mo He and the tense relationship between him and Yi Hu, he certainly would not offend the Tang army for Yi Hu. However, he continued to stay in Talas, Yi Hu and his hard-core direct descendants, including Dagan Shetuo, were about to die without a place to die.

Especially after the loudly loud soldiers under Zhang Qian announced in public that they were only targeting Yi Hu and publicly rewarding the soldiers of Shiguo, the military and civilians in the city were already in panic. The arrival of the storm only moved the time when the Tang army launched the general attack and the time when some wealthy families in the city cooperated with each other, but failed to solve any problem.

If Yi Hu didn't leave and was chopped off by a general under his command and offered it to the Tang army, it would be a matter of time sooner or later. As long as Yi Hu died, the huge debt he owed would no longer have anything to do with anyone in Talas City. Even if the Tang army wanted to continue to collect the debt, it would go to the King of Shi Kingdom Mo He, and would not share any wealthy families in Talas City!

"As long as I leave Talas, I will be an eagle with all my feathers pulled away, and it will be the same wherever I go!" Even though he knew that Dagan She Tuo was loyal to him, Yi Hu still opened his teeth and claws at this person? "Mo He had long wished that I would die. After I left Talas, whether I went to Zhezhe, fought against Ti? Baishui City? or returned to Bahan, it was equivalent to falling into his hands. He would immediately order to kill me? Then let the envoy take my head and go to the Tang army to beg for mercy!"

This is actually true. As a loser in the fight for the throne, Yihu should have died long ago. It was only with the tens of thousands of troops in his hand and the solid city wall of Talas that his brother, the King of Shi Kingdom, did not dare to act rashly.

Baishui, Zhezhe and Ju Zhanti are all Mohe's direct descendants? Bahan is the capital of Shi Kingdom. Yihu left Talas? He fled with only a small number of followers. No matter which of the four cities is going to, it is equivalent to falling into the trap!

However, Dagan She Tuo was prepared. While continuing to stagger back, he raised his voice and added, "The special service misunderstood? Is it really misunderstood. Didn't I advise you to join Mo He, but I advise you to lead you all in person? Bypass Baishui City and go to Muluzhou to take refuge. Leave a useful body? To achieve the future?"

"Where to go? Mulu?" Yihu stopped his arms immediately. His eyes instantly widened.

Muluzhou is two thousand miles away from Talas? It is now an Anguo. The king of Anguo has always been a dissatisfied with the king of Shiguo. He went to join him as the lord of the city. Of course, the king of Anguo would not take the initiative to hand him over to Mo He. In addition, Anguo has long become a subordinate of the Dashi. The reason why he was chased by the Tang army was also for the Dashi. In order not to disappoint the serving people, the actual controller of Anguo should also arrange a decent way out for himself.

"Yes, go to Mulu!" I realized that Yi Hu was already moved, and Dagan She Tuo quickly continued to work hard. "The Tang army is coming fiercely, and Zhang Qian is greedy. If he can't find the special service in Talas, he will definitely lead his troops to attack Bahan. Then, how could Mohe be his opponent? When the Tang army kills Mohe and leaves, or escort Mohe, you will return to Shiguo to summon the old subordinates with the support of the cannibal. The position of the king of the country will inevitably fall into the hands of the special service!"

"This--" Yi Hu's heartbeat, his two round eyes were circling up and down in his eyes.

The strength he had was far less than that of his brother Mo He, and he had not received the support of most nobles in the country. He wanted to seize the throne by force, and there was no hope in his life. However, if the current king died at the hands of the Tang army or was captured by the Tang army, as the only heir, his spring would come.

"Secret Service, everyone in the city is sharing the same hatred with you because they are worried that the Tang army will use their property to pay off their debts after breaking the city." Fearing that Yihu was hesitant, Dagan Shetuo slowly took a step forward and continued to whisper, "But Zhang Qian has already said publicly that he will only collect debts from you. Even if the powerful in the city do not believe him, they will have some thoughts in their hearts that they should not have. Before they contact each other, you will take me and others away, and it is still time for them to collude with each other and get along with Zhang Qian..."

"I understand, you go down and prepare secretly, don't leak the news." Yihu felt nervous when he heard it, waved his hand, and made a decision in a hoarse voice. "I will call the reliable people over by taking the reason to discuss the way to defend the city, and the next midnight today..."

"Secret Service, don't listen to this coward! He was scared by Tang Jun!" Before he could finish a sentence, the door was suddenly pushed open from outside. An old man with a big food appearance and dressed like Ali, stalking in with his head held high.

"Hafez wise man, when did you come? How can you get sick if you get sick after such heavy rain?" Yihu was startled and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face and asked about his well-being.

"Those who believe in pious will naturally give him kindness and keep him away from all diseases." Hafez, the wise man of the Great Eat, frowned and said a pun.

Then, he raised his hand and pointed at the uneasy Dagan She Tuo, and said loudly: "The special agent should not be bewitched by this person. He was worried about being implicated, so he advised you to take him to escape with him. After going to Anguo, he can still do Dagan for others, but you will no longer be the city lord! The true god will not give his grace to a person without courage!"

This is too ruthless. It is equivalent to telling Yihu directly that if he gives up Talas, he will become a dog of a family. And Dashi will never give any support to the dog of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family of a family

"The wise man is right. She Tuo has no knowledge and is scared by Tang Jun!" Yi Hu's heart suddenly felt cold when he heard it. However, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He smiled and apologized in a low voice, "It's a blessing that you have been in time for old age, otherwise, I must have made a wrong decision just now."

"It is also a kind of wisdom to find a mistake that can be corrected in time!" Hafez's wise man looked a little better. He first quoted a motto, and then added with kindness, "The Tang soldiers only have more than 5,000 horses, so it is impossible to surround Talas. If you want to abandon the city, you can do it at any time. It is too early to leave now, and it is inevitable that you will be looked down upon."

"Indeed, it's too early, it's only half a day!" Yi Hu nodded repeatedly for fear of losing the support of the cannibal.

Then, he quickly turned his gaze to Dagan Shetuo and scolded him sternly: "I haven't stepped back and reflect on it. Just now, you almost led me astray!"

"Yes, yes! I know I am wrong, so I will reflect on it now!" Dagan She Tuo was so scared that she sweated on her forehead and responded in a hoarse voice. Then, she escaped from the door in shame. Her back was hunched and her legs were staggering, like an old dog with a broken waist.

Hafez didn't think this person's performance was so inhumane that he smiled and continued to add, "What the special agent is worried about is nothing more than the iron thunder that Tang Jun threw on the city. I went to the city wall to inspect it while it was raining. The thing sounded very scary, but in fact it was not very powerful. As long as it was more than ten steps away from the landing point of this object, no one would be injured."

"The power is no more than ten steps?" Yi Hu General was suspicious and frowned and repeated.

If the power of the iron thunder is not more than ten steps, he really does not need to be so afraid. The projectiles fired by the catapult cart are far less than those of the bow and arrow. Every time the Tang army finds that the brothers fire their iron thunder and let their brothers run away in time, it may be too late.

"It must not exceed ten steps. If you don't believe it, go and see it yourself. I just discovered that the damage to the city wall by the iron thunder is not as serious as I thought in advance. Every deep pit is less than four feet wide." I was afraid that Yihu would change his mind secretly because he was timid. Hafez thought for a while and continued to whisper, "The wall of Talas is made of rammed earth, and the narrowest part is ten feet thick. Even if some gaps are blown out by the iron thunder, the soldiers can carry mud bags and fill it in time!"

"The wise man is indeed wise!" Yi Hu's heart suddenly became much more stable when he heard it. While smiling [Biqugu www.biquku.biz], he praised it loudly, "With you always here, I have the courage to continue to stick to it. Just..."

He paused deliberately, and his voice quickly lowered, "It's just that our army was unfortunately defeated by the Tang army before, and his morale was poor. And there were many people in Talas City who were selfish and had no intention of being on the same side as me. If they were bewitched by Zhang Zhe..."

"I have ordered all followers to pay attention to the movements in the city. When you find an abnormal situation, you can immediately extinguish it!" Hafez's face quickly turned cold, and in an instant, an invisible murderous aura penetrated his body.

"Thank you, wise man!" He was so excited that he shuddered by the murderous aura that came towards him. Yihu bowed to thank him happily. "With your help, I will be completely at ease. I will no longer consider abandoning the city, no matter who proposes it. But..."

He hesitated for a moment, and he asked tentatively, "I, Sogdians, are not good at fighting. At that time, Ali Zhizhe promised that Dashi would send a group of war-going soldiers to help in time..."

"The letter of help has been sent out. If nothing unexpected happens, tens of thousands of big **s will come from Tocharo within two months!" Hafez had guessed that Yihu would definitely have this question, and Hafez gave the answer without hesitation.

"Two months?" Yihu's heart twitched suddenly, and his questioning words blurted out, "It will take so long? What if the Tang army attacked the city regardless of everything..."

"Secret Service!" Hafez's brows frowned quickly, and his voice became hoarse and low. "Two months are already the fastest. The soldiers need to gather, and there have been wars between the Great Food Kingdom and the Great Food Kingdom. Yihu Special Service, you must know how to be grateful. The Great Food Kingdom does not owe you anything. The reason why it fully supports you is because you treat the true spirit with respect."

"Thank you for the true god!" Yihu hurriedly bowed down and praised loudly.

"The walls of Talas are strong, the military and civilians work together, and the food and equipment are quite sufficient. Even if you are guarding for the first half of the year, it will not be a problem!" Hafez did not just press down on him, and he was not stingy with the encouragement he should give. "And in the past two months, you will not be allowed to stick to you alone. I have issued a convening order. Near the United States, Cao Kingdom, and He Kingdom, believers of the True God will come to help the war one after another."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, wise man!" Yi Hu felt extremely uneasy, but he decisively bowed and bowed again.

The United States, Cao, and He were all small countries established by the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Nowadays, these three countries have become vassals of the Great Food Kingdom. Although there are not many reinforcements from the three countries, the crazy believers are all fearless. With them in front of them, the hope of defending Talas will undoubtedly be much stronger. Even if they cannot defend themselves, they can throw them down and cut off their rear when they are escaping.

"The rain stopped immediately. As the city lord, your location should be on the city wall, rather than hiding in the city lord's mansion all the time." Hafez saw through Yihu's little calculations at a glance, and did not poke them out. He frowned again, urging in an orderly tone.

"The wise man is right. After the rain stops, I will go to the city wall to inspect!" Yihu, who bets all his future on the support of the Great Food Kingdom, has long been in a dilemma. He smiled and quickly made a statement.

The midsummer thunderstorm really came and went quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, the sky outside the window began to shine. Then, a strong wind blew, the clouds opened and the rain closed, and the sunlight quickly shot down from the sky, illuminating the gloomy and crowded mansion of the lord.

What he said just now could not be taken back immediately. Yihu had no choice but to harden his head, put on heavy armor, and iron helmets. Then, under the protection of his confidants, he walked towards the eastern wall of Talas.

The enemy tower on the city wall had long been blown up by the Tang army with iron thunder. All the crossbows placed on the horse's face were blown away by the Tang army. However, the main body of the city wall and the horse's face were not seriously damaged, as Hafez described earlier. Several of Yihu's confidant generals took their respective subordinates and used sacks to pack the soil into the damaged area, and soon filled the blown potholes.

Maybe it was because he came from afar and was physically exhausted. Maybe it was because he was worried about the performance of the weapon and was affected by water vapor. Tang Jun did not launch an attack immediately after the sky was clear. This made Yihu breathe a sigh of relief. He pinched his waist with his hands and spoke loudly on the horse's face. He incited the soldiers of the direct line to their hearts.

A scout from the Tang army had seen Yi Hu through a telescope and quickly sent the news back to the camp. Zhang Qian saw that it was approaching evening and was too lazy to argue with a dying person. After a smile, he ordered the soldiers to rest with peace of mind and wait until they have enough energy tomorrow before continuing to "collect debts" from Yi Hu.

As a result, Yihu found that the Tang army ignored him and immediately became excited. He ordered his soldiers to bring the spare crossbow to the top of the city. Then he ordered people to use a horse to pull the strings of the crossbow, put the heavy crossbow more than two meters long, and personally pulled the mechanism to shoot at the Tang camp two miles away. Although he knew that the heavy crossbow had a range of only more than two hundred steps, he still greatly increased his morale.

Luo Huaizu was furious and volunteered to lead the teaching team to teach Yihu a lesson. However, before everyone could get the catapult cart close to the city wall, Yihu had already left swaggeringly surrounded by his confidants. Then, two other teams of people dressed in Tang people cried and shouted that they were caught by the defenders and used flesh and blood as shields to prevent the Tang army from blowing up the bed crossbow.

Before the general attack, Luo Huaizu did not want to ruin Zhang Qian's reputation because of his momentary anger. He had to give up the bombing of the horse's face, and first blasted a round of gunpowder bullets at the position where "Tangren" stood on the city wall. Then, he sent a loud brother to send Zhang Qian's letter to Yihu and everyone in the city in Sogdian. He repeated it a few times, then withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.

What he could not even think of was that his thoughts of kindness gave Yi Hu more confidence. The latter increasingly believed that the guidance given to him by the wise man of the Great Food was correct, and as long as he sacrificed his price and persisted until the arrival of the Great Food reinforcements, there should be no big problem.

However, in order to avoid the fear of being shaken by someone under his command, he led the way for the Tang army. He still issued an order, and asked someone to start work overnight to block all the city gates in the east, south and north directions of Talas with soil. The city gate on the west side was blocked for half, leaving only a gap of two horses wide, so that messengers and scouts could be sent at any time to communicate with the outside world.

"Grandma, the previous king of Shiguo did not know what evil he had committed, but he actually raised such a stupid and bad bastard!" After learning from the scouts, Luo Huaizu was so angry that he gritted his teeth again. "For a few good words from the cannibalism, he brought the lives of all the people in Talas City to the gambling table. He had not forgotten to leave a way for himself to escape!"

"In the past twenty years of the Tang Dynasty, I didn't want to be too busy, so I made the nine surnames of Zhaowu one by one. If it were the early years, the so-called king of the Shi Kingdom was just a Tutun, what could I have learned? And Yi Hu was spoiled since he was a child and could grow into a hero, that would be strange!" Wei Dao also curled his lips from the side. (Note: Tutun, the chief of the small tribe. His status is far lower than that of Khan.)

"You need to be careful about the big cannibals standing behind Yihu! They carried Yihu to attack the Saiye and helped Yihu defend the city. It was impossible for him to have no future tricks." Zhang Xu has become a little taciturn since he came to the Western Regions. However, he occasionally said something, but he was very visionary. "I suspect that whether it is Yihu, Talas, or even the entire Shiguo, the big cannibals deliberately gave us bait. The purpose is to drag us here and then severely hurt us."

"You are right, the great cannibal must have a chance to attack. Therefore, we must destroy Yihu before the great cannibal soldiers come." Zhou Jianliang was experienced and smiled and gave the solution to the problem.

"Zhou Duwei said this very much, and this battle will definitely not be delayed. It is best to be able to fight quickly like when attacking Julan City." Zhang Xu glanced at Zhou Jianliang and nodded vigorously.

"What's the problem? I touched the city in the middle of the night and threw the grenade into his bed!" Luo Huaizu immediately took over the conversation and presented the specific solution.

Everyone immediately stopped talking and turned their heads to Zhang Qian one after another, hoping that he would make the final decision. Zhang Qian also raised his head from the handsome desk, and his eyes looked at everyone were full of admiration.

He learned about the concept of one-way agent war from the classic examples of the 21st century, and knew that the easiest way to break the deadlock was to knock the agent to the ground at the fastest speed. It was too late to let the main messengers behind him continue to make moves!

Zhang Xu and Zhou Jianliang have never been exposed to the concept of agent war before, but they can find out from behind Yi Hu's stupid actions that the real messenger, the Great Cannibal, and come up with a solution similar to the 21st century. This is rare.

"Zhang Shenjun's eyes were like a raging look. Zhou Duwei was also in the same way as Zhang." Nodded to everyone, Zhang Qian said with a smile. Then, he waved his hand gently at Luo Huaizu who was eager to try, "As for Secretary Luo's method, it is too risky. In Zhang's eyes, ten Yihus are not as good as your toes. If you climb over the wall and assassinate Yihu, it will be difficult to get out of it even if you succeed. Zhang will definitely not do such a loss-making business!"

"You underestimate me too much. As long as Yi Hu is killed, the defenders will definitely be in chaos. I am at least 40% sure to escape!" Although Luo Huaizu was moved, he was not convinced. He blushed and defended loudly, "If you don't believe me, I can issue a military order!"

"If you are trapped in the city and can't get out, who will I ask to fulfill the military order?" Zhang Qian smiled and continued to shake his head gently, "What's more, there are many madmen in the city. If you rush up and fight with you together, no matter how good your martial arts are, the tiger will not be able to resist the wolves."

Of course, Luo Huaizu knew that if he climbed over the wall to assassinate Yi Hu, he might not be able to escape safely, but he still blushed his face and shook his head, "If you bombard the gunpowder bullet, you will not be able to open the city wall in less than ten days or half a month. And you can't stop it. You bomb during the day and Yi Hu will send someone to repair it at night."

"I'll lead the brothers from Shuofang to attack! Use Zhao, you use gunpowder bullets and crossbow arrows to suppress the enemy. I use your Mo family's ladder to take the base and take the brothers and ants to join you." Zhou Jianliang was unwilling to let Luo Huaizu take the risk, so he volunteered to Ying, "Your ladder is often used when we attack the Turkic fortress. The brothers are very familiar with it. Spend a few more days to train them to use grenades to open the way. In this way, the price should not be too high."

After saying that, he stood up and bowed, waiting for Zhang Qian's decision.

Zhang Qian smiled and shook his head stubbornly again, "No need, the lives of brothers are precious, so we should not waste them in such places where birds do not shit."

"Yong Zhao, we are a martial artist!" Unwilling to delay the fighter's shots because of soft heart, Zhou Jianliang whispered. "As long as you fight, it is impossible to lose without any loss!"

"I hope that all those who die will be enemies!" Zhang Qian glanced at him again, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn, "I had already thought of a plan to break the city just now, but I was a little reluctant. However, it is better to let the enemy die than to let our own people sacrifice. What's more, there is a need for places like Talas to exist!"

After saying that, I picked up the sketch I had just drawn from the table with my hands and gently displayed it in front of everyone.

In another time and space, the Shi people used almost the same trick to drag the Anxi army to Talas. Then, the Dashi army flocked to the battlefield, causing countless Han families to hate them.

This time, he came.

Zhang Qian didn’t know if Gao Xianzhi was born now, nor did he know whether he was qualified to take care of things forty-two years later.

However, he can make Talas no longer on the map decades later.
