Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 335: Raise the flag! Want to scare me off?

"Your Majesty, your ... humble servant Lisuoduoli pays respect to you."

"No gift!"

The Longtu Cavalry waved their hands, and Lisuoduoli, the commander of the Jihu Army, stood up.

The Dragon Cavalry Division stood in front of the map, staring at the location of Tianshan, and said slowly: "Do you know why I called you here at this time?"

Lisodoli looked at Tibers standing beside him, and Tibers smiled and shook his head.

Lisuoduoli thought for a moment, "Could it be because of Su Chen from the Tang Dynasty?"

Long Tuqizhi smiled and said, "You do have some insight."

"Yes, when Tibers was talking to Su Chen just now, he mentioned the army of Yu Gushe outside the city. When he talked about repelling Yu Gushe, he mentioned the use of poison."

Lisodoli shook his head. "My lord, we have considered using poison before, but the cost is too high."

"Let's not talk about whether our troops can successfully break through Yu Gushe's encirclement. Even if we break out, Yu Gushe must have left heavy troops guarding the water source!"

"Secondly, the river outside the city flows fast. If we want to poison someone, the amount of poison we need is too much. There is no way we can prepare so much poison in Yuanqu City."

Long Tuqizhi smiled and nodded, "We have just discussed what you said, but we all overlooked one thing."

"That's the river outside the city, a branch of the Kaidu River, and its source is on the Tianshan Mountains!"

"We are fully capable of climbing up from the south!"

Lisodoli nodded, "What about the poison?"

Tibers: "It doesn't necessarily have to be poison."

Lisodoli frowned and looked over. "If not poison, what else can we use?"

Tibers smiled and said, "Mr. Su gave me a good suggestion, Ye Xiang."

Lisodoli's eyes widened immediately. Yexiang? Throw Yexiang into the river outside the city?
Is this something that humans can do?

After a brief moment of shock, Lisodoli fell into deep thought.

Dirty things such as night-scented incense were smeared on arrows and used to attack the enemy, causing the enemy's wounds to fester quickly. This had occurred on many battlefields.

There have been many precedents of poisoning the enemy's water sources. Some poison soldiers would even put the bodies of dead soldiers, sick pigs, etc. into the enemy's water sources. This was not uncommon.

But this is the first time I have seen night-blooming incense thrown into a water source.

Lisodorli walked quickly to the map, checked the location of the Kaidu River, and then looked along the mountain range.

If they could climb up and throw poison, night-scented incense and other filthy things into the river branches outside the city, it might cause Yu Gu's army to vomit and have diarrhea!
Lisuoduoli pondered and said, "My king, although this plan is not a brilliant one, it may be worth a try!"

Long Tuqizhi smiled and nodded, "I also think it's worth a try, so I called you over."

Lisodoli immediately understood what Long Tuqizhi meant.

Let him lead the troops personally to the source of the Kaidu River branch in the Tianshan Mountains, and then throw poison and all kinds of filthy things into the river.

At that time, these things will flow along the river and be adopted by the Turkic army.

"I am willing to give it a try!"

"very good!"

Long Tuqizhi nodded, "When you came, I had already ordered people to collect all kinds of poisons and filth in the city. What you have to do now is to lead people to Tianshan and find the source of the river branch!"

"Yes!"

……

The next day, before dawn, the Turkic army outside the city launched another attack.

Hearing the noise, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, Yu Gushe is really not a human being.

There were no more than 6,000 defenders in Yuanqu City, but Yugushe had an army of over 100,000. Even the eagle-training method was enough to make the defenders in the city exhausted.

Wave after wave of attacks could quickly destroy the morale of the defenders in the city.

Go ahead and keep fighting.

Su Chen turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

However, it only took a stick of incense for Su Chen to wake people up.

"speaker?"

"Mr. Su, my king invites you over."

"Ok."

Su Chen sighed.

Although he arrived in Yuanqu City, he was still the commander of a thousand men led by Li Jingheng and the other general.

After quickly tidying up, Su Chen followed Tibers to the city wall.

The infantrymen below the city were constantly attacking, but because the city walls were too high, most of the ladders they built were pushed away by the defenders on the walls when they got close to them.

The Turkic soldiers who were lucky enough to lean on the city wall and tried to climb up would be greeted by all kinds of thunder, stones and rolling logs.

There were only a thousand Turkic soldiers attacking this time, and behind them, there were nearly ten thousand troops waiting.

The remaining Turkic army has disappeared, which is what deserves attention!
It's just that because it's not yet bright, I can't see it very clearly.

"What is Mr. Su looking at?"

"I was thinking that Yu Gushe arranged these people to come here, and I'm afraid they will take turns to torture the king's spirit."

Facing Su Chen's response, Long Tuqizhi sighed helplessly.

This is the disadvantage of having too few troops.

"You're right."

"This is what I am most worried about!"

"Yu Gushe can have his army attack day and night, but the soldiers in Yuanqu City need time to rest. If this continues, their bodies will surely not be able to bear it."

Long Tuqizhi looked into the distance, "On one hand, let the soldiers under my command continue to consume our energy and spirit, and on the other hand, let the army under my command speed up the construction of siege equipment..."

"This is the scariest thing!"

Knowing that the enemy was preparing offensive weapons and could launch a large-scale attack at any time to capture Yuanqu City, the Longtu Cavalry had no way to deal with it.

Because he had no extra troops, he let the defenders on the city wall take turns to rest so that they could have enough time to rest.

If this continues, the city will be destroyed and people will die.

"I wonder when the army led by General Xue will arrive in Yuanqu City?" "I don't know, but I estimate that they will arrive in Yuanqu City before dusk today at the latest."

"That's good, that's good."

The Long Tuqizhi clenched his fists and stared at the Turkic army below.

As the sun rose from the east, the darkness outside the city gradually dissipated.

The Turkic soldiers under the city retreated like the tide again, but after a while, a group of siege soldiers were separated from the 10,000-strong Turkic army.

"here we go again……"

Long Tuqizhi sighed.

Looking at the tired soldiers, he could only order a group of militiamen to take over and give them some rest time.

Su Chen's eyes swept over the defenders and the militiamen, and he couldn't help but frowned.

Obviously, there were not 6,000 defenders on the city wall. Moreover, according to a rough estimate, there were at most 1,000 defenders on the city wall, and the rest were mostly civilians.

He is hiding people!

Suddenly, Su Chen looked at the Longtu Cavalry with some feeling.

Is it to cope with the subsequent continuous attacks from the Turks, so they are asked to conserve their strength?
However, when he thought of the bravery of the Longtu Cavalry and even the people of the entire Yanqi country, Su Chen gave up this idea.

He believed that the Dragon Cavalry hid these people in order to deal with unexpected situations or to launch a surprise attack on Yugu.

With the sound of horns, the Turkic attack began.

The militiamen on the city wall were obviously a little excited and scared. After all, this was the first time they faced so many enemies!

The Longtu Cavalry seemed to have anticipated such a situation. After giving a few instructions to a general beside him, the general nodded and left.

Then, Long Tuqizhi came to Su Chen and said, "Mr. Su, I need you to reveal your identity!"

Su Chen: "Of course!"

Long Tuqizhi nodded and waved his hand. A huge banner with Tang characters was hung up.

There is no doubt that the Longtu Cavalry wanted to use the name of the Tang Dynasty to force Yu Gushe to withdraw his troops, but Su Chen found it difficult.

When the Tang Dynasty's flag fluttered in the wind, the Turkic soldiers who were charging over obviously slowed down their movements.

at the same time.

Su Chen's voice spread quickly as it was relayed in real time by the soldiers of the Yanqi State.

"I am Su Chen from the Great Tang, and I have been ordered to come to the aid of the Yanqi Kingdom!"

"Yu Gushe, withdraw your troops immediately!"

"If you don't know what's good for you and insist on attacking Yanqi, I will bury all your more than 100,000 soldiers under Yuanqu City!"

Su Chen?

Is that the Tang army?

After hesitating for a moment, Tu Zhuolin immediately ordered his men to continue attacking the city!
Then he delivered this news to the king's tent set up in Yu Gu.

"The reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty? The leader is called Su Chen?"

"Yes Khan."

Yu Gushe looked around, "Who knows this General Su Chen?"

"Reply to Khan, this Su Chen is not a member of the army. He is a favorite of the Crown Prince Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty and a counselor."

"Ok?"

Yu Gushe was stunned for a moment, "Advisor? Didn't they say that the leader of the Tang army this time is Xue Wanche?"

"Indeed."

"Haha, I see! He is the vanguard!"

Yu Gushe stood up with a sneer and came to the outside of the king's tent. From afar he could see the flag fluttering in the wind.

You think you can scare me off by raising the flag of the Tang Dynasty?
ridiculous!

"Is Tu Zhuolin still attacking the city?"

"Return to Khan, attack in progress!"

"very good!"

Yu Gushe nodded with great satisfaction, "It's just a reinforcement. Even if the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty come, they can't stop me from taking over Yanqi Kingdom!"

"Khan is wise!"

"Order the smelting department to speed up and make siege equipment such as wells!"

"Yes!"

……

"kill……"

Roars came from below.

A dozen Turkic soldiers formed a group and rushed towards the city wall carrying ladders. At the same time, the archers behind them immediately suppressed the defenders on the city wall.

Su Chen shook his head and, under the protection of Sun Qiang, stepped back a little.

Long Tuqizhi sighed, it was indeed useless.

After all, we still have to rely on the weapons in our hands to speak!
"Defend the enemy!"

"kill!"

Long Tuqi drew his sword and shouted.

It has to be admitted that the physical strength of these Turkic soldiers is quite amazing. Even if they are standing under the city wall, a hundred steps away, they can still shoot arrows onto the wall.

Just because of the height, the power of these arrows after landing on the city wall was not as exaggerated as before.

Even so, there were still many unlucky people who were hit by these arrows.

Most of them are from the Min Zhuang group.

"Sir, this place is dangerous, let's go downstairs first."

"it is good."
