Just when Xue Ne reported the news to Gao Kan, Li Xian also used Qinggong to return to the military camp alone, and then immediately rushed outside Pang Tongshan's military camp.
"I wonder if the general manager came here late at night, what are his orders?" The guards outside the big tent were Pang Tongshan's personal soldiers. They had seen Li Xian's bravery when Jian Moucen attacked the camp before, and now they naturally felt uncomfortable seeing Li Xian.
Dare to neglect, he quickly asked with a smile on his face.
But he heard Li Xian cupping his hands and saying, "I have important matters to see General Pang, and I would like to ask this brother to inform you."
When the guard saw Li Xian being so polite, he was moved and said quickly: "Master, please wait a moment. I will go see General Pang immediately. However, it is already late at night and General Pang has already checked in to rest. I am afraid I will have to wait a moment longer..."
Li Xian couldn't help being furious after hearing the news, and immediately shouted: "If we had waited just a moment longer, I'm afraid the city would have been destroyed long ago. Why is this Pang Tongshan so hateful? I'll wait until I go in and wake him up in person."
After saying that, Li Xian opened the curtain and prepared to go in.
But he saw the guard blocking him and saying, "General Manager, is there something wrong with this? It's my responsibility as a villain, so I dare not not stop you. Please forgive me, General Manager...ah..."
Before the guard could finish speaking, he was pushed away by Li Xian. When he saw Li Xian burst into the tent, he was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Li Xian's loud and angry shouts were heard in the camp: "Pang Tongshan, it's too late, and you are drinking in the tent? Get up quickly, the enemy is coming, and send troops to the city immediately."
Head, go to the city to guard, if anything happens to the new city, I will definitely chop off your dog's head!"
If Li Xian had spoken in such a tone before, Pang Tongshan would have been angry a long time ago. But now that Li Xian said this, he stood respectfully in front of Li Xian and said with a wry smile: "General Manager, please calm down. I will just
I was depressed, so I secretly drank to relieve my boredom. The general is not a god, and I don’t know that there are thieves attacking the city. Please rest assured, your Majesty, the general will send troops to the top of the city to defend the new city. Unless the general dies, the new city will never be lost.
"
After saying this, Pang Tongshan immediately stood up and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers on the left and right, immediately notifying the generals and the generals, and the entire army would immediately assemble and guard the city. If there was any delay, he would be killed immediately.
Seeing that Pang Tongshan's attitude was acceptable, Li Xian's cold expression softened slightly, and then said: "This time the enemy army is so powerful that if we don't do our best, it may be difficult to resist it. I plan to deploy my royal guards to help defend the city, and also
General Wang Pang distributes weapons, equipment and horses."
"Ah? Well, Your Majesty, when Li Sikong left, he clearly told the general not to let the King go to war. Now the King insists on going his own way. If Li Sikong blames Li Sikong, what will the general say?" Pang Tongshan saw that Li Xian really couldn't hold back.
He had the temper to join the battle, and suddenly he secretly complained in his heart, his face became ugly, and he said with a wry smile.
But Li Xian said loudly: "Li Sikong, I have my king's explanation. Please tell me, will you give me these weapons, horses and equipment? If you don't, I will lead these soldiers in white clothes to fight with bare hands."
"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Why don't you give it to the general?" Pang Tongshan knew that Li Xian could not listen to his advice at this time, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, and then said: "But your Majesty must agree, and you can only fight on the top of the city."
, you cannot leave the city, otherwise you will rather die than obey your orders."
"This matter will be easy to handle, as long as I agree." Li Xian chuckled, but did not refuse Pang Tongshan's kindness, because he knew that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Although he agreed, if he really didn't listen, what could he do?
What can be done?
Pang Tongshan is also a person who is good at observing words and emotions. Now that he saw that although Li Xian agreed, he was not sincere and he had no choice but to secretly decide to send more people to protect this little ancestor who was causing trouble.
At this time, the army had been mobilized. After hearing the news, Pang Tongshan immediately set off and led his troops to the city to fight. He also sent a special order to allocate 300 guards from the left army camp under his command to Li Xian to protect Li Xian's safety.
When Li Xian saw the 300 people accompanying him, he naturally knew about Pang Tongshan's good intentions, but he didn't reveal it. He accepted all 300 people as ordered, plus the 200 royal guards around him, and he formed a team of 500 people.
of elite.
At this time, two people dressed as personal guards suddenly came to Li Xian and asked in unison: "Your Majesty, since there is a war tonight, why didn't you notify us?"
Li Xian smiled awkwardly when he saw these two people, and quickly pulled them aside and whispered: "General Cheng, Fairy Boy, are you two here to join in the fun again?"
But I heard Dou Xiantong say: "How can you call it fun? Now that the war is about to begin, the whole army is on the move. As the guards of the general manager, how can we not follow the commander into battle to kill the enemy?"
Cheng Yaojin also laughed and said: "What the little girl said is true. Although I am old, I am still as loyal and brave as before. Your Majesty, do you dare to compete with me? Which one of you or me has killed more enemies in this battle?"
It turned out that Old Cheng had a venomous look in his eyes and had long realized that Dou Xiantong was disguised as a woman, but he never revealed it until today.
Li Xian didn't feel strange after hearing the words of the two men. After thinking for a while, he said: "Old General Cheng went into battle with me to kill the enemy, and Xiantong stayed behind. Although my Chinese army tent is just a decoration, it still needs to be used."
If someone stays behind, otherwise once the enemy forces break through, morale will be greatly reduced, and people's hearts will fluctuate during the war. If there are people in the city to provide internal reinforcements, the situation will be critical. Therefore, I'd better work harder and find a way to find out what's inside the city.
There is a traitor in the city, and assassinating him will definitely stabilize the situation in the city and turn the city from danger to safety. It is a matter of great importance, and only you are capable of doing this. Please don't give up your hard work this time."
At the end of the sentence, Li Xian's voice was extremely soft. For Dou Xiantong, it had great lethality. In addition, what Li Xian said made sense. Dou Xiantong was not ignorant, so he had no choice but to nod.
He agreed, and then said to Cheng Yaojin: "Mr. Cheng, I will leave this guy to your Majesty. If anything goes wrong, let alone your Majesty, I will definitely find a way to save your life."
."
What Dou Xiantong said was extremely unpleasant, but Cheng Yaojin also knew that the relationship between this man and Li Xian was extraordinary, so he didn't care at all, but said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lao Cheng guarantees it with his life.
Ensure the king’s safety.”
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's promise, Dou Xiantong was relieved. He glanced at Li Xian reluctantly, then gritted his teeth and prepared to leave, but was unexpectedly stopped by Li Xian. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "You have figured it out.
Do you want me to go on an expedition with you?"
But Li Xian shook his head and said: "This matter has already been decided, how can it be changed? It's just that I am worried that you will be too tired, so I have assigned thirty of my royal guards to you."
Hearing this, Dou Xiantong's happy face suddenly showed a bit of sadness, and then he waved his hands and said: "No need, having these people following is a burden. It is convenient for me to be alone. You should take care of yourself during this expedition. When you come back,
If you have a scar, just wait and accept the punishment of this girl." After saying this, Dou Xiantong ran away without looking back, and then slowly disappeared into the dark night.
"Whose daughter is this girl? She's so arrogant. Hehe, I'm afraid the king will suffer in the future." Looking at Dou Xiantong's leaving figure, Cheng Yaojin said with deep meaning.
"Haha, this is just a village girl that Xiao Wang rescued from a trafficker. The country people don't know the etiquette, which made the old general laugh."
"Oh? I wonder which countryside has such an outstanding village girl? And I wonder which human trafficker dares to plunder such a skilled martial artist?" Cheng Yaojin glanced at Li Xian with a smile, as if he didn't quite believe it.
Li Xian naturally knew that Cheng Yaojin didn't believe it, but he didn't explain it, and Cheng Yaojin didn't ask any more questions. The two of them understood each other tacitly, and just laughed.
After Li Xian finished laughing, he led Cheng Yaojin to the soldiers and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the enemy is invading and the new city is in danger. Since we have shouldered the emperor's orders, we naturally have to pledge ourselves to the country. Today,
We will fight to the bitter end with the bandits and bandits. All of you, listen to my orders and go into battle with me to kill the enemy. Those who have made meritorious deeds will be generously rewarded by me. Those who violate military orders and do not go forward in fear of the enemy will be killed without mercy."
After finishing speaking, Li Xian straddled his horse, picked up his spear, took the lead, and led the soldiers to the top of the city to face the enemy.
By the time Li Xian's soldiers arrived at the top of the city, the battle had already begun. Due to the severe cold weather, the moat had long been frozen, so the enemy troops crossed the moat without much effort, set up ladders, and began a fierce attack.
City, under the moonlight, pairs of enemy soldiers were climbing the city walls crazily on ladders. Some of them had already reached the top of the city and started close combat with the defenders.
Li Xian and his troops have now almost become firefighters, rushing to wherever the situation is critical and destroying the enemy troops rushing up one after another at the top of the city.
Fortunately, the enemy's siege equipment was limited to ladders, and Gao Kan and Pang Tongshan were both famous generals in the Tang Dynasty and had rich experience in defending the city. Although the number of defenders was relatively small, they issued orders in an orderly manner, and Pang Tongshan
He and Li Xian showed up in person to fight bloody battles at the top of the city, which greatly boosted the morale of the Tang army, so the city was able to be defended for a while.
But this does not mean that there is no problem. After all, the new city has just suffered a long offensive and defensive battle. The city defenses were damaged and there was no time to repair them. Even a section of the city wall in the south of the city was seriously damaged and there was no time to repair it in a hurry.
Kan just ordered people to build a wooden fence there.
This section of the wooden fence became the key for the enemy to break through the city defense.
Originally, the enemy general was waiting for someone in the city to open the city gates in order to attack the city, but after waiting for a long time but still no movement, he realized that something had changed, and had no choice but to order the sergeants to disperse and look for loopholes everywhere.
Not long after, several sergeants reported that they had discovered a broken city wall that was only blocked by wooden palisades near the south of the city.
The enemy general was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately ordered a force to pretend to attack the city to confuse the Tang army. Then he used the main force to attack Muzha, broke through the city defenses in one fell swoop, and captured the new city.
Because the city defense at Muzha was weak, Gao Kan actually sent heavy troops to garrison it. However, due to the small number of troops in the city, the so-called heavy troops were only 2,000, which was really insignificant compared to the more than 20,000 enemy troops who rushed in. Therefore, Mu
As soon as the gate was destroyed, these soldiers were immediately massacred by the enemy.
"Quick, go and report to the general. The enemy has broken through the wall. Send troops to help quickly." The garrison general at Mucha knew that the situation was critical and immediately shouted to the soldiers. This chapter has been completed!
