Chapter 512 Thrilling (1)

Wu'an City was still as calm as before. The Tubo army retreated to Shenchi County. For four or five days, there was no movement. Although Li Xun and others did not understand Gewa's actions, they could not figure out what was sold in Gewa's gourd.

What a ridiculous idea, but they didn't think much about it. After Li Xun and others discussed it, they made a decision to stay the same in the face of changes. No matter what conspiracy you have, we are not going anywhere, we will stay in Wu'an City.

At dusk, after inspecting the military camp and city wall defenses, Li Xun rode home.

The streets were very lively. The Tubo army had retreated. Li Xun and other military forces had their own considerations. However, the people's perspective on the problem was very simple. The enemy had withdrawn and there was no danger. This was a happy thing. It was not necessary.

I was so nervous, so I walked out of the house one after another, doing whatever I needed to do, feeling very relaxed.

"Boss, after the Tubo troops withdrew, the people finally breathed a sigh of relief and can live a relaxed life for a few days."

Jiang Daxiong looked at the lively crowd and couldn't help but smile.

There was no smile on Li Xun's face, but it was very deep.

"The war is not over yet, and the morale of the military is lax. This is a big taboo."

Li Xun shook his head and sighed.

Tubo withdrew its troops and retreated to Shenchi County, which is less than two hundred miles away from Wu'an. This means that the war is not over. Their withdrawal is not passive but proactive. The initiative in the war is still in the hands of Tubo. The advantages and disadvantages of both sides are equal.

The relationship has not changed in any way.

The reason why Li Xun sighed was that the sudden withdrawal of the Tibetan army had relieved most of the tight anger in many people's hearts. Once the anger was relieved, it would be difficult to get it back together.

Li Xun reminded Zhao Feidu and others that this may be Tibet's strategy of retreating in order to lower the morale and vigilance of the defenders. We cannot take it lightly. In response to Li Xun's warning, Shan Qiu and others naturally need not say much.

Of course, what the boss said should be treated with caution. Wang Renzhi, Zhao Feidu and others said they listened, but in fact, they probably thought that it would be difficult for Tibet to conquer Wu'an City, so they gave up. Anyway, as long as everyone did not leave the city,

There will be no problem. Li Xun just went to the city wall to take a look. The soldiers and horses belonging to Zhao Feidu, Gu Yong and others were not all pressed against the city wall. Regarding this, Li Xun was quite worried, but there were some words

If there are too many, he will be annoyed by others. Regarding this, Li Xun is very helpless.

Returning to Jiedushi Shuai's Mansion, after dinner, Li Xun walked around the yard with his wife You Min for a while. In the later stages of pregnancy, walking more has some benefits.

"Commander, urgent military situation."

Lei Wanhai walked over quickly, his face very heavy.

Li Xun glanced at You Min, who shook Li Xun's palm, nodded, and then walked away with Xiaocui's support.

"But the Tibetan army comes again?"

Li Xun had already guessed that there were only two parties in Wuzhou today, the Jin army and the Tubo army. He was fine on his side, but if there was a problem now, it would definitely be the Tubo army.

Lei Wanhai nodded and told the military situation. Li Xun's guess was correct. The scouts came to report that the Tibetan army was approaching Wu'an again. The number of the army did not increase, but became smaller. There were 150,000 troops and 50,000 left to guard Shenchi.

Waqin led an army of 100,000 people and carried a large number of siege equipment. Now the army has marched less than fifty miles away from Wu'an. It will arrive at Wu'an again in two hours at most.

After listening to Lei Wanhai's words, Li Xun's face became heavy. The previous time Tubo came in a hurry, he did not bring siege equipment. In this case, it is simply a fool's dream to break through the tall and thick Wu'an City. Now,

Although the number of Tibetans was smaller than the previous period, only 100,000, the threat of Qi had actually increased a lot.

No wonder Tubo suddenly withdrew its troops. First, it withdrew its troops to reduce the will and morale of the defenders of Wu'an City. Second, it replenished and improved the siege equipment. It was a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Gewa was really good at leading troops in combat.

"Convey my order and ask Shan Qiu and others to mobilize all the troops to the city wall. Don't be careless."

Li Xun gave the order.

"Yes, Marshal."

Lei Wanhai accepted the order, turned around and strode away.

Li Xun went back to his room and put on his military uniform and armor, then rode to the county government office. Wang Renzhi and others had obviously known the news of the approaching Tibetan army. When Li Xun arrived, more than ten major generals had just gathered together.

After a brief discussion, everyone made a clear division of labor, and then each led his own troops and rushed towards the city wall.

Two hours later, the Tubo army of 100,000 troops arrived as promised. It seemed that they were not planning to take action tonight. They stayed three miles away and began to set up camp.

Another hour passed, and it was already late at night. All the lights in the Tubo camp three miles away had been extinguished. Zhao Feidu suggested that the Tubo soldiers would not attack the city tonight, leaving some soldiers to guard the city wall, and the remaining soldiers to go back.

The headquarters is on rest.

Li Xun objected and said, if the Tibetan army wants to travel, they can march during the day. Why do they have to march at night? When things go wrong, there must be monsters. The Tibetans must have an agenda and cannot be careless. It is best for all armies.

Staying on the city wall will not give Tibet any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhao Feidu and others did not take Li Xun's advice and vigilance seriously. After politely asking Wang Renzhi for instructions, he left with his 10,000 troops.

Gu Yong left 5,000 people under his command. Everyone had agreed before that Zhao Feidu, Li Xun, Gu Yong and others would come in turns one day. Today it was Li Xun's turn, and Li Xun would lead his troops on the city wall.

During the night watch, Zhao Feidu and Gu Yong had no obligation to send troops to help. Gu Yong left 5,000 men for Li Xun, which was considered a great honor.

Li Xun watched Zhao Feidu and others leave coldly, and then said to Shan Qiu, Zhao Wei and others, "Zheng Chun led 5,000 troops to guard the south, Zhao Wei led 5,000 troops to guard the north, and Gu Yong left 5,000 soldiers."

And the remaining 10,000 soldiers, under my command, will guard the front of the east city."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, everyone separated the soldiers and began their respective tasks.

Li Xun held on to the city wall and stared into the distance. It was dark and he couldn't see anything. However, Li Xun could feel the strong murderous intention even though he was three miles away.

"Lord, sit down and rest for a while."

Hua Shaosheng moved a chair and asked Li Xun to sit down and rest.

Li Xun nodded, sat down, closed his eyes, and rested his mind.

An hour passed, and before he knew it, Li Xun fell asleep.

"alert."

A sharp shout suddenly sounded in the silent night. Li Xun woke up instantly, stood up suddenly, subconsciously pulled out the long sword from his waist, looked around, and shouted, "But the Tubo army has begun to attack the city?"

"Lord, there is no movement."

Hua Shaosheng replied from the side.
