Datang Longya

Chapter 820 Marshal, let's go

Di Renjie bowed to the ground to show he was taught.

After glancing at Di Renjie, Li Shimin said, "Decree to Du Ruhui, give up the second line of defense and support Gaochang!"

Changsun Chong's letter not only asked for help, but also explained why Jiayuguan could not help.

For the second line of defense, Jiayuguan is enough. If Gaochang is lost, it is lost, but Leng Feng and Li Xiaogong must not have any accidents.

If something happened to these two people, it would definitely be a huge blow to Datang.Because, since Zhenguan, there has never been an accident of such a high-level general at the border.

Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the emperor's order to support the Northwest battlefield.

After the court was over, Di Renjie walked out of the palace gate and got into a carriage directly.

As soon as he sat down, Di Renjie said to Leng Jing: "I'm not going to hide it from you, Master's side is really dangerous, but the emperor has already provided support, and we have to trust Master!"

Leng Jing nodded: "I believe in father, but we still have to hide it from the family!"

Di Renjie sighed.

Now the only men left in Chang'an are him, Leng Jing, Li Tai, and Li Chengqian.

Li Tai has been in the Jinglei Division since the border war started, and worked with Zhang Zhongqing to study gunpowder weapons.Li Chengqian sits in the bank and is in charge of the proofreading and supervision of the running water.

The task of communicating with the family fell on him and Leng Jing.

The two teachers' wives and Senior Sister Leng Yuewu are both women, easy to deceive, and Leng Rui is still young, so there is no problem.

Now Di Renjie is most afraid of encountering Wu Mei. In front of this woman with a strong sixth sense, any lie can only be exposed.

However, what are you afraid of, why are you here?

When the carriage advanced near the Wenyuan, it stopped. After a while, a delicate beauty got into the carriage without avoiding suspicion.

Wu Mei.

Seeing that it was Wu Mei who got in, Di Renjie said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you teaching in a women's college? What are you doing running out? Besides, we are not young anymore, so we can't get into a carriage. Be careful that it will be bad for your reputation if it spreads."

"Reputation is nothing but floating clouds. Moreover, I have decided not to marry for the rest of my life. I am not afraid of being laughed at by others."

Di Renjie's mouth twitched.
After sitting down, Wu Mei asked Di Renjie directly without looking at Leng Jing: "Going to court? How is Master?"

The corner of Di Renjie's mouth twitched again
Gaochang City Wall.

Leng Feng didn't know that the Central Plains had support for Gao Chang, and he was having a headache.

It has been eight days since Tubo came to join the war.

On the seventh day, only [-]% of the gunpowder weapons were left.

Eighty percent of gunpowder weapons, in exchange for the huge casualties of hundreds of thousands of enemies.

Today, if you look at Gaochang from a distance, what you see is no longer a square city wall, but a pile of corpses in the shape of a cone in the lower half.

From the fourth day onwards, the enemy's corpses piled up to a dangerous height.

At this height, the enemy can already set up a ladder to climb the city.

Today is the eighth day, and it is still fighting at dawn.

The seven-day battle made every soldier extremely exhausted, even the soldiers of Leng Feng and the Dragon Tooth Army were exhausted.

Even if you can get a respite at night, but if you carry out high-intensity combat every day, even Iron Man probably can't bear the fatigue and fracture.

Seeing the crowd coming again from outside the city, Li Xiaogong sighed: "It looks like we are going to die here."

At this time, the enemy's body was still three or four meters high from the city wall, and it only took one day to bring it up to this height.

At that time, they will have to hand in hand with the enemy.

After so many days, although the enemy killed about 20, there are still more than [-].

However, Gaochang's defenders had only a little over 7 people who could still fight.

The hanging basket in the city was in operation, after a while, Er Gouzi and Huo Xingyun climbed up the city wall.

Seeing the two of them approaching, Li Xiaogong scolded: "Why are you here? Go back, you don't need to guard your city walls anymore?"

Huo Xingyun smiled wryly and said: "With Li Erniu and Qiu Yuze on the walls on both sides, there will be no problems. Marshal, the two of us came here to ask for something."

After speaking, Er Gouzi knelt down on one knee with him.

At this time, the soldiers just started to attack, and there was another explosion of gunpowder weapons outside the city.

Leng Feng walked up to Li Xiaogong and asked, "What's the matter? Hurry up, the battle has already started, don't you know?"

Huo Xingyun and Er Gouzi looked at each other, and said at the same time: "I am humble, please ask the prince (boss) to leave Gaochang in a hot air balloon!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Leng Feng and Li Xiaogong were stunned, but even the surrounding soldiers not only looked back.

Li Xiaogong was the first to react: "Presumptuous, do you know that you are disturbing the morale of the army, and you should be executed according to the crime?!"

Huo Xingyun knelt down on his knees instead: "My lord, the humble position is not to disturb the morale of the army. Now that the battle has reached such a level, even the most ordinary soldiers know that there is no light in the future. Gaochang is destined to perish, but you two Absolutely nothing will happen, only the two of you can avenge the destruction of Gaochang!"

Li Xiaogong was so angry that he kicked Huo Xingyun on the shoulder.

Leng Feng looked at Er Gouzi: "Just shut up, I don't want to kick you as a sick person, don't talk about it, the two of us will never leave."

Er Gouzi wanted to say something more, but after coughing twice, he could only shut his mouth.

The battle lasted for many days, even Er Gouzi couldn't bear it, and he inevitably contracted the wind and cold.

Li Xiaogong kept kicking Huo Xingyun back to the hanging basket, and dragged Er Gouzi over.

After driving the two away, Li Xiaogong came back angrily: "You two are useless, what are you thinking about at this time!"

After returning to the edge of the city, Li Xiaogong picked up his bow and arrow and joined the battle.

As the height of the enemy's attack increased, the casualties of the defenders rose linearly.

If you want to shoot the enemy not far below the head of the city, you have to lean out.And leaning out, no matter the enemy under the city or the enemy in the distance, they will shoot arrows.

The number of Turkic people occupies half of the battlefield, and the Turkic people's archery skills, although not superb, are not lacking in accuracy.

It's dusk.

The last three or four meters were reduced to one meter.

At this distance, as long as the enemy has a better jumping ability, they can jump onto the city wall, and hand-to-hand combat is inevitable.

As the sun sets, the last ray of temperature brought by the sun to the earth also dissipates, and the already cold temperature drops rapidly again.

Fighting at night is the most difficult. Although they knew that Gaochang was about to fall, the Turkic, Tubo and Western Regions allied forces ordered to retreat.

Tomorrow, the final curtain will fall on this war.

The enemy retreated.

Leng Feng let go of the spear with his stiff hands, and helped up a soldier sitting beside him.

The soldier grabbed Leng Feng's shoulder with one hand: "Marshal, let's go."
