On April 25, 18th year of Hongxuan, the last sign of Shenshi, the time was approaching dusk, the setting sun was as bloody as the horns, the Tubo army under Deyang City finally stopped its storm and slowly withdrew its troops back to the camp.
The corpses were everywhere under the city, and the dying wounded were wailing miserably. The blood beaches everywhere reflected the sunset, reflected the dazzling red light. All of this seemed so shocking, but Dayin, who fought for the rest of his life, was fighting for the rest of his life.
However, the officers and soldiers took more attention and sat down exhausted on the messy city, panting rapidly.
It's been two days, and after two consecutive days, the Tubo army rushed to the city like crazy, with great momentum, almost no one under the first siege, but it was almost the only one. Although the offensive was fierce, it was always
Without such a tone, it was always too much progress, but it was a waste of thousands of corpses under the city. Of course, the Dayin Army, as the defense side, was not easy. With bloody battles, the soldiers who could fight in the city
There are less than 4,000 yuan, and the loss has exceeded half. What's even more troublesome is that the city guarding equipment is basically exposed. Not to mention that the clay pots that are secret weapons have completely exhausted, even a few arrows are left, and it is said that they are the master.
The veterans were not exhausted. Fortunately, they had the momentum of a victory a few days ago, so they barely supported the city defense. However, no one knew when the city could be defended. At least Li Mingxin himself was already in his heart.
Finished.
Li Mingxin has been defending Suzhou forever and is extremely good at defending. In his eyes, Xiao Wei's various deployments are indeed amazing. It is indeed outstanding to be able to defend a small city with such a small force.
However, when manpower is poor, the army is exhausted until today's war. Li Mingxin really couldn't figure out what kind of tricks Xiao Wei still had in his pocket. He was worried and wanted to control the one who was limping in the blood on the city.
All the subordinates stood beside the city plate, frowned and looked into the Tubo army camp. Until a cheer sounded, Li Mingxin woke up from his reverie. When he looked back, he saw Xiao Wei leading him.
Several guards were walking along the city walls and approaching.
"I will meet your highness at the end!"[
When he saw that Xiao Wei was coming, Li Mingxin did not dare to neglect it. He suppressed Hu Si's mind and rushed forward, bowed, clasped his fists, and saluted.
.
"Thank you General Li for your hard work. Deyang can defend it. General's achievements are of great significance."
Xiao Wei's clothes were covered with undried blood. It was obvious that he had just fought bloodyly. The tired color on his face was clearly visible, but he was in good spirits. The officers and soldiers who always smiled and cheered nodded along the way.
At this moment, seeing Li Mingxin greeting him, Xiao Wei smiled and replied with a smile, and praised him.
"Your Highness has been awarded a mistake, and I really don't dare to take it." When Li Mingxin heard Xiao Wei's praise, he was not only happy, but was suffocated, but he did not dare to show his "display" on his face. He bent and said humbly.
.
"General Li, please follow me." Xiao Wei looked at Li Mingxin with a profound meaning, and did not make any more politeness. He just smiled and then walked towards the city gate tower. Li Mingxin didn't understand.
Xiao Wei was singing the play, so he couldn't help but be stunned. But when he saw Xiao Wei entering the city gate tower without looking back, he did not dare to neglect it, so he hurriedly lowered his head and followed him.
Deyang City is so small that the city gate tower is not majestic, but it is the most conspicuous sign on the city wall. Naturally, it is the target of the Tubo army's focus. After days of fierce fighting, the city gate tower, which was not big, was slapped.
The Tubo Army's stone throwing machines bombarded several times, and were already in ruins. The three-story city gate tower was only one and a half, which was very dirty and messy. There were gravel bricks and tiles everywhere, but Xiao Wei was a little bit more
He didn't mind, so he took off his bloody battle robe and sat down cross-legged, smiled and gestured to Li Mingxin to sit opposite him.
"I'm so rude." Li Mingxinshi didn't know what Xiao Wei was going to do. He was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask easily. He could only sue him, sit down and face him.
"Sex" was waiting for Xiao Wei to uncover the mystery by himself.
"General Li, in your opinion, how many days can this city be guarded?" Xiao Wei looked at Li Mingxin and asked casually.
"this……"
As soon as Xiao Wei said this, Li Mingxin was stunned. He didn't know how to respond for a while. Li Mingxin also attended the military meeting before sending troops. He knew Xiao Wei's overall deployment, but
What puzzled him was that his ambush, who should have attacked the enemy camp at night, was gone, but he did not see any explanation for this. Li Mingxin had long had doubts about this matter and suspected Xiao
Wei had the plan to save Deyang. It was just because he refused Xiao Wei's recruitment and felt that he had a distant relationship with Xiao Wei, so it was difficult to ask questions. At this time, he heard Xiao Wei's words strange and did not understand why.
How dare I respond randomly? I can only be silent.
"General Li must be concerned, just say it bluntly." After waiting for a while, Xiao Wei couldn't help laughing and comforted him easily.
"Yes, I will obey the order." Seeing that it was impossible to remain silent and refuse to answer, Li Mingxin bit his teeth, first complained, and then sang for a while, and replied with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, please forgive me, please forgive me, Highness,
The last general said bluntly that if the reinforcements outside the city did not arrive, the city would be guarded for up to two more days."
"Oh? General Li is serious about this, huh?" Xiao Wei's smile slowly calmed down, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he asked in a cold voice.
"Your Highness is clear, but the last general dares not deceive Your Highness with false words."
Xiao Wei's evil aura was very heavy. When he was stern, his aura was terrifying. Even if Li Mingxin was a general of war, he couldn't help but breathe in a hurry under the pressure of Xiao Wei's momentum.
Young and old, but still stick to their own views.
"Hahaha……"
Xiao Wei stared at Li Mingxin coldly for a long time. Seeing that he refused to change his words, he suddenly stopped and laughed loudly. The laughter made Li Mingxin Zhang Er unable to touch his mind, and could only bow and sit with embarrassment.
The sweat beads on them involuntarily simmered out, but they did not dare to ask what was going on.
"General Li is quite lenient. If we look at it from this king, if the troops outside the city remain unmoved, it would be the limit to be able to hold on for another day. No matter how many kings I can do my best!" Xiao Wei laughed loudly and laughed.
After the episode, he curled his smile, looked at Li Mingxin with a solemn expression, and said in a positive tone.
"Your Highness is wise, the last general..."[
Li Mingxin still couldn't understand what Xiao Wei planned to sing the play, so he could only echo him with praise.
"Forget it, I don't like to say anything. General Li will know this in a long time. I didn't come to General Li today to listen to good words." Xiao Wei smiled, waved his hand, and stopped Li Mingxin's words.
, with a slightly gloomy face, he spoke: "The soldiers and horses outside the city will come, but they will not arrive tomorrow. The king's intention has been decided, and the decisive battle in the south of the city will come tomorrow!"
"Ah..." Li Mingxin was shocked when he heard Xiao Wei's words that he would fight against the Tubo army head-on, and his eyes were wide open. He did not care about being polite or polite, and he spoke anxiously and persuaded: "Your Highness, this is it.
It is absolutely impossible. Your Highness, our army has few soldiers and are all infantry. If you fight head-on, it is difficult to have a chance of winning. Once the army is defeated, the situation will be in danger. I hope your Highness will think twice!”
Smile bitterly, in addition to laughing bitterly, facing Li Mingxin's persuasion, Xiao Wei's face was still calm, but he could only smile bitterly in his heart - how could Xiao Wei not know what Li Mingxin said, to be honest
, This battle was not Xiao Wei's original intention, so the plan of the battle was too complicated, there were too many links in between, and the chances of winning were not much higher, but from the perspective of the overall situation, this battle must be fought, but
Xiao Wei had no choice but to refuse, but Xiao Wei did not want his soldiers to suffer too much, so some things had to be arranged in advance.
"Hengcheng, can I trust you?" Xiao Wei was silent for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Li Mingxin's eyes, and spoke word by word.
Although Li Mingxin has been with Xiao Wei during this period, his relationship with Xiao Wei has always been in a state of being inseparable. His previous words of persuasion were an instinctive reaction from the soldiers, and he did not consider each other's identities much.
The disparity, as soon as the words came to an end, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, fearing that Xiao Wei was strange. At this time, when I heard Xiao Wei's words calling out, my mind couldn't help but feel dazed, and the corners of my mouth twitched a few times, but for a while
He did not say a word, and Xiao Wei was not in a hurry, just waiting silently for Li Mingxin's reply.
"I will definitely live up to your high expectations!" Li Mingxin's face changed for a long time, and suddenly stood up, knelt down to the ground, kowtowed, and said with a hint of tremolo.
"Okay, I can trust this sentence in Hengcheng. Come and sit down and say it." Xiao Wei sat upright and received a gift from Li Mingxin. He raised his hand falsely, signaled Li Mingxin to take his seat, and then sent the whole thing from the other end of King Xiang.
After explaining the strategic arrangement in detail, Li Mingxin did not give him the opportunity to give his insights, he said calmly: "This battle can be changed, and the outcome is still unpredictable. The king cannot sit and see the soldiers die in vain.
If you need to do something, don’t you know if Hengcheng dares to do it?”
"I'm willing to die!"
Since he was determined to surrender, Li Mingxin was unambiguous and clasped his hands and replied loudly.
"Okay, what I want you to do is that in the next day, all the troops in the city will be led by you, and whether to fight or withdraw will be decided by yourself!" Xiao Wei nodded and said in a slight tone.
"I will obey the order!"
Li Mingxin has been in the army for a long time, but how could he not tell the significance of Xiao Wei's order? He was grateful for Xiao Wei Gu Xi's actions, so he respectfully agreed to the promise.
Although there are only less than 4,000 remaining troops in the city, they are all elites after the bloody battle. This is the most basic team for Xiao Wei to win in the future, so it is not allowed to be lost. Of course, if possible, Xiao Wei really does not want to use this.
It is hard to say that the important task that concerns the safety of the defenders in the city is still entrusted to Li Mingxin, who is still a confidant general. However, among the generals in the city, only Li Mingxin can be regarded as a general, and only he can see in advance during the "chaotic" battle.
The direction of victory and defeat in Qing Dynasty has gained the vitality of the remaining troops in the city. I had to do it, so I had to force it. Seeing that Li Mingxin had accepted his own order, I felt relieved in my heart and no longer had more
Yan nodded, stood up silently, looked at Li Mingxin deeply, and walked straight out of the city gate tower...
