Chapter 612

Cui Pu frowned upon hearing this. "You are obedient, now is not the time to play your temper."

"You have to live together, you have to die together. Don't expect to leave me alone and wait outside. I have waited long enough in Chang'an all these years!" Mu Jiaojiao insisted.Sometimes, she really just loves to play with her temper.

Isn't he the same?

Cui Pu looked at her disapprovingly.

But, no matter how he looks at it, Mu Jiaojiao has made up his mind, and he knows in his heart that he can't talk to her at all.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cui could only shake her head: "Whoever goes and who stays, you can think about it yourself! Anyway, the most elite blood of our Boling Cui family must be preserved, and the entire army must not be wiped out. This is what your father meant .”

"I understand." Cui Pu nodded quickly.

After seeing Mrs. Cui away, he called Da Langjun's brothers over and told them to take their wives and children out of the city to escape.Da Lang Jun Er Lang Jun naturally quit.

"Father, I have been fighting with you all these years, and I have never left your side. Now that I am in war again, I will naturally stay by your side to fight with you and protect Chang'an!" Dalang-jun said loudly.

Mr. Erlang didn't speak, but he was clearly in a normal state of mind now, without the drowsy and absent-minded appearance of the past, which seemed to indicate that he was serious.

"I told you to go out, so you go! It's just a city of Chang'an, are you still afraid that I won't be able to defend it?" Cui Pu said coldly.

"Father..."

"Stop talking nonsense, if I tell you to leave, pack up your things and leave quickly. If you dare to be disobedient, I'll have someone tie you up, throw you directly on the horse and drag you out! If you don't believe me, try it!" Cui Pu said coldly.

Anyway, he has been the leader of the army for so many years.Once he got angry, his whole body was full of momentum, which made Da Lang brothers unable to hold back.

Helpless, the two brothers could only obediently bow their heads and agree.

Soon, they packed their bags together with the young lady's family and came to bid farewell to Mu Jiaojiao.
"Aniang, are you really not going with us?" When it was time to leave, Mr. Da Lang still refused to give up.

The little lady and the young gentleman also took Mu Jiaojiao's hand one by one, and begged her to go out with them to take refuge together, but Mu Jiaojiao refused: "Because once the sage left, Chang'an City will be empty, and people's hearts will be scattered. You guys Since Dad chooses to stay, I will naturally stay with him and help him stabilize the rear. As long as we set an example first, the rest of the people and those who are determined to stay with him to resist the Tubo and Huihe armies Only then can the soldiers settle down and fight against them with the greatest morale."

"However, you are not the only one who can stabilize the rear!" the little lady said.

"But behind your father, there is no one but me who can stabilize it." Mu Jiaojiao said.

The children naturally knew how deep the relationship between her and Cui Pu was.Since Cui Pu didn't express any further opinions, and he insisted on doing so, the children had no choice but to give up. They all bid farewell with tears and left Chang'an City to go to the mountains together.

Soon, the Tubo soldiers went to the city of Chang'an.

At this time, the gates of the various cities had already been heavily guarded by Cui Pubu.The Tubo soldiers rushed over aggressively, but encountered strong resistance at the gate of the city and suffered heavy losses.

The first siege failed.

However, Tang Jun's side is not much better.

Because of the sage's distrust of the generals, after returning to the court to report on his duties, the sage has tried his best to move all the soldiers on hand far away.Now that the Tubo and Huihe troops are attacking brazenly, they have no time to dispatch people back.When the sage rushed to Xiazhou, he took most of the Habayashi guards with him.Most of the people staying in Chang'an City are young generals who have never experienced actual combat, and their combat effectiveness is so low that it is sad and indignant.

Fortunately, there are veterans like Hu San who have rich combat experience by Cui Pu's side.

He said this: "I, Hu San, have never expected to be successful in my life, but because of you, the king of the county, I am now a marquis. This life is enough to honor my ancestors! Moreover, I am old, and I will not live for many years. Yes, but I have a son! Even if I really die under the knife of the Tubo people, I don’t have to worry about no one inheriting my title. There are still people who can continue the glory of my Hu family, and that’s enough! Now, let me do it again Continue to fulfill the promise I made to you back then, and stay by your side and never leave! Maybe, after this battle, I can make another great contribution, and let the glory of my Hu family go even further!"

Others also echoed, refusing to leave.

Looking at the brothers who followed him from Yangzhou to Guangzhou, then from Guangzhou to Liangzhou, and finally rode their horses across the vast world of the New Tang Dynasty for seven years, Cui Pu's eyes ached, and finally Ding Ding nodded his head: "Okay! Since this is your wish, then I will grant it to you! The big deal is that we all die together!"

"That's right! It's our great honor to be able to die with you, the king of the county!" Hu San laughed.

Cui Pu also laughed.It's just that while he was smiling, there was a gleam of water in his eyes shining under the sunlight.

In addition, when they learned that Cui Pu was going to lead people to guard the city, all the aristocratic families who were still staying in Chang'an City also divided half of the guards who guarded the house for support.

Counting these people, plus the manpower under his own hands, there are actually a small 1000 people.Cui Pu then handed over the people to Hu San, and asked him to divide them into eight teams, each of which would guard a city gate with two teams working in two shifts a day, keeping a good eye on the Tubo soldiers outside.

After the failure of the first siege, the Tubo soldiers quickly carried out a second siege on a large scale.

But this time, their casualties were even more severe.

"It's poison gas! They put poison!"

Seeing the people on the city tower throw a bucket down, a light yellow gas spread out immediately, and the person in front who had just touched the gas immediately bled from all seven orifices and fell to the ground to die.

When the people behind saw it, they yelled and stepped back immediately.

The second siege failed again.

Three days later, when the Tubo spies reported back and let the Tubo leader know that the city of Chang'an was empty and that the number of soldiers guarding the city was already less than a thousand, they made a comeback again, this time gathering all the soldiers. Troops are attacking in the direction of a city gate.Everyone in the vanguard covered their mouths and noses with green cloth soaked in medicinal herbs.

This time, the lethality of the poisonous gas was significantly reduced.

Under the command of Cui Pu, the soldiers on the city gate threw stones and shot arrows, resisted for a whole day and night, and then barely suppressed this big wave of offensive again.

When the Tubo army withdrew again, Cui Pu ordered people to count the number of people, and found that nearly 200 people had been lost.

Originally, every time they attacked the city, their people would lose some.On the occasion of the third siege, he had only a little over 800 people at hand.This time, they actually lost 600 people at one time, which means that they only have [-] people left.And there are tens of thousands of Tubo troops on the opposite side!
The most important thing is that there are still Tubo spies in the city!

Now this situation will definitely reach the ears of the Tubo leaders as quickly as possible, and then they will definitely launch another more violent attack.If they lose another two or three hundred people, they won't have to defend the city anymore!
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Cui Pu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Lang Jun, you have been guarding with someone for a day, let's have something to eat!" These days, Xiao Si'er has been by Cui Pu's side.Now he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and he quickly brought the hot steamed buns and warm water to Cui Pu.

Cui Pu picked up the steamed buns, ate one in three mouthfuls, drank half a bowl of water, and waved his hands: "Okay, you go down, let me rest for a while."

Xiao Si quickly backed away.

Cui Pu was so tired that he couldn't even lift his fingers, so he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes in this position.

Although he was extremely tired, the moment he closed his eyes, bloody scenes still appeared before his eyes.

The vicious Tubo soldiers and the weak Tang soldiers fought against each other. The Tang army leaned against a city wall and desperately protected their homeland.But the Tubo soldiers mastered their methods little by little, and they would come up with countermeasures when they came to attack the city next time.

Relying on such a few people, the art of war is useless, and now they have no other way but to fight hard.

Carry it hard, I don't know how long I can carry it.

The corners of his lips lifted slightly, Cui Pu didn't know why, he suddenly smiled.The smile was very shallow, but it clearly fell into a pair of eyes.

Mu Jiaojiao saw him when he came in.

This man was covered in dirt, and he was so tired that he didn't even bother to climb the couch next to him, so he just sat on the ground and dozed off.He didn't know what he dreamed of, but he actually smiled.

It's a good thing to be able to laugh at this time.

Slowly squatting down beside him, she took out a handkerchief and wiped off the stains on his face.

Sensing the movement on his face, Cui Pu opened his eyes vigilantly.When he saw that the person who came was Mu Jiaojiao, he put away the coldness in his eyes, and let out a long breath of relief: "Why are you here at this time? Are you okay at the wounded barracks?"

"There are too many people, and I won't be able to handle it for a while. I've already dealt with the most seriously injured ones, and I'll just leave the rest to them." Mu Jiaojiao said, his hands moving non-stop.

Cui Pu twitched his mouth again when he heard this. "I really shouldn't have let you stay."

"I've stayed here, is it interesting to talk about it now?" Mu Jiaojiao said lightly.

"That's right." Cui Pu nodded, took off his helmet with her help, and then leaned his head on her shoulder weakly, "But to be honest, I'm still very happy now that you are by my side. Don't worry. I'm such a selfish person!"

"Me too!" Mu Jiaojiao laughed.

The two were talking without saying a word, and suddenly Hu San ran in.

"Your Majesty, the people from Tubo have come to call for battle, saying that their general wants to talk to you face to face!"
