Datang Longya

Chapter 819

Facing the two who left, Leng Feng did not order to attack, but let them leave and returned to the camp.

Li Xiaogong came over, patted Leng Feng on the shoulder, and said, "You missed a good opportunity!"

Leng Feng smiled and patted Li Xiaogong's hand away: "Come on, at this moment, I only believe in the soldiers in Gaochang City. No matter how much they boast, it won't change the fact that I am from the Tang Dynasty."

Li Xiaogong nodded. Once upon a time, although the Tang Dynasty had been established, the common people and literati still regarded themselves as "Han people", and even rejected and belittled the emperor's Xianbei blood.

But now, ordinary literati claim that in addition to the "Han people", there is another "Da Tang person".The Tang people represent not a certain bloodline, but a powerful country, a label of a prosperous age!
"coming."

Seeing the dust on the western skyline start to fly eastward, Li Xiaogong grasped the bow and arrow in his hand.The enemy's cavalry came in mighty oppression, and the momentum of only more than 30 people made Gaochang City feel crumbling.

At this moment, even though he was on the strongest city wall in Gaochang, behind the safest battlements, Li Xiaogong still felt a chill.

Near
closer.
"Start the fight!"

Before the enemy came forward, Leng Feng issued an order.

The land outside the city has been covered by the corpses of soldiers and horses, and there is no way to go out of the city to plant thunder. At this time, there is no need to wait for the enemy to approach before attacking.

Get any closer, and the enemy's corpses will threaten the walls, which is not good.

The artillery fired first. As the weapon with the longest range, it did not bombard the nearby enemies, but fired as far away as possible, trying to reach the enemy's leader.

However, the chiefs of the Turkic tribes, the rulers of the Western Regions, and others were smart enough not to move forward, but to watch the battlefield from afar.

The second wave is Thunderbolt.

The third wave is thunder.

The gunpowder weapons stored in Gaochang City started a pouring attack.

Without the threat of the eagle shooters, the soldiers could occasionally lean out and shoot accurately. For a while, the first batch of enemies who approached Gaochang City once again experienced what it means to be in a dilemma.

Looking at the city in the distance, Lu Dong sighed in admiration.

The King of Kucha saw that Lu Dong sighed in admiration, and couldn't help asking: "Why is the Prime Minister sighing?"

Although Lu Dongzan is only the great chancellor of Tubo, the status of the great chancellor of a powerful country still needs to be respected by the rulers of these small countries.

Lu Dongzan saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said: "I wanted to take Gaochang without bloodshed, but the protector of the country is stubborn. Although we can take Gaochang down, the casualties will definitely not be low!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Gaochang's defenders were short of troops, but they had the magic weapon to defend the city. Even if they could capture Gaochang, they would probably suffer a loss of around [-].

And after Gaochang, there is another Jiayuguan!

Ashina Helu said: "Stop thinking about it, since we have decided to deal with Datang, we must be prepared for casualties. We have no way out, why bother to sigh?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Ashina Helu was right, since the world has begun to attack Tang, then only one side can stand till the end between Datang and them.

Due to the large-scale use of gunpowder weapons outside Gaochang City, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the entire Gaochang City seemed to be shrouded.

On a sand dune in the east of Gaochang City, a person hiding in the yellow sand pit put away his binoculars, ran to the place where the horse was hidden, and rushed back to Jiayuguan.

"Report to the general, Gaochang has officially started a war with the enemy!"

"It's time to fight!"

Chang Sun Chong squeezed the pen in his hand and looked at Guo Xiaoke.

Guo Xiaoke shook his head: "We can't act rashly. Why did the Lord Protector guard Gaochang? It is to absolutely keep Jiayuguan. If we switch support, we will win and everything will be fine. If we lose, our defense line in the northwest will be completely torn apart. It's gone!"

Changsun Chong said in a low voice: "But, there are more than 30 troops! The Duke Protector only has [-] troops, how can he fight?"

Although he acquiesced to Guo Xiaoke's suggestion not to support him, Chang Sun Chong quickly wrote a memorial and rushed it to Chang'an.

During the war, all the information on the border crossings was dispatched via Hongling's urgent report, which was the fastest delivery method on this land.

The memorial reached Chang'an after only five days of transportation.

When Li Shimin on the throne read the description of the memorial clearly, he couldn't help frowning.

With the addition of Tubo, the number of enemies on the northwest border has soared to more than 30.

This is the worst news the court has received since the war began! .
Seeing Li Shimin's ugly face, Fang Xuanling couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what happened at the border?"

Li Shimin nodded, and did not hide anything: "The enemy in Gaochang, with the help of Tubo, has grown to more than 30 troops. The eldest grandson rushed forward and said that Gaochang was in danger and urgently needed support."

"More than 30 yuan"

"so many people."

"The Lord Protector and King Hejian are in big trouble this time."

Hearing the emperor's words, all the officials couldn't help muttering.

When all the officials were sweating for Leng Feng and Li Xiaogong, a person stood up from the team and said: "Your Majesty, I ask you to allow me to lead Qianniuwei to support the Northwest battlefield!"

Everyone looked at the person who stood up.

Well, a little young, a little tender.

And how can such a young official stand so far ahead?

Li Shimin looked intently, and it was Di Renjie, one of Leng Feng's disciples, who stood up.

Today, Di Renjie has officially entered the official position, and he directly pays homage to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Over the years, he has been specializing in crime and criminal investigation, and has also compiled works such as "Criminal Psychology".

Mr. Yu Huanzhi finished reading all the books on the sickbed, and wrote the comment of "the lost road sign, the bright sun".

As soon as these books were printed, they were distributed by the court to officials across the country.

And Di Renjie, relying on this, directly became the young minister of Dali Temple, second only to Dai Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple.

Seeing Di Renjie stand up, Li Shimin couldn't help saying: "Even if it is going, someone else should go. You have studied with your master for so many years and have never practiced martial arts. What's the use of going to the battlefield? What's more, Qianniuwei has just been established. , I haven’t even started training, it’s not as good as the combat power of the border soldiers, and if I go there, I’m going to die.”

Because the Imperial Guard Xuanjia Army was transferred to the border, Li Shimin recruited troops to form Qianniuwei as the emperor's guards. At present, there are only more than 1 people.

Di Renjie frowned and said, "But, Master needs support!"

Li Shimin put together the memorial in his hand, walked off the throne with his hands behind his back, looked to the northwest direction and said: "Leng Feng is your master, as a disciple, you should have confidence in your master. As the emperor, I also have to be respectful to the soldiers under my command Have confidence. I, trust them!"
