Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 375 Dangerous Situation (3)

Naturally, it is not advisable to go out of the city to attack. Zhang Mingwu is very clear about this even in the midst of his anger. The location of the violence was chosen more than [-] steps away from the city, far beyond the range of the crossbow. Unless there is a large defensive crossbow, otherwise, the attack on the city will not be able to reach it at all. Having never been equipped with a defensive crossbow, Zhang Mingwu thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of a perfect solution, so he had to cast his eyes on Li Yaodong for help.

"Master Zhang, please find the hardest bow for Mr. Li."

Li Yaodong is a heroic man of the rivers and lakes, and he has always been a kind-hearted person. Facing such a provocation from the Tuza coalition forces, the anger in his heart is naturally a bit stronger than that of Zhang Mingwu. Of course, he also understands The intention of the Tuza coalition forces to go out of the city to fight to the death, obviously, this is a road of no return, at least in Li Yaodong's view, but if they just sit idly by, it will hurt morale, if there is any recklessness The consequences would be unimaginable. In view of this, Li Yaodong had to do his best. He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice.

"This..." Zhang Mingwu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard that Li Yaodong wanted to make a strong bow, and then he saw Li Yaodong pursed his lips tightly, as if he didn't want to open his mouth to explain, but he couldn't ask any more questions, so he sighed With a sigh of relief, he untied the quiver at his waist, handed it to Li Yaodong together with the iron bow, and said cautiously: "A certain bow is a four-stone bow, I wonder if Brother Li can use it together?"

"enough."

Li Yaodong took the bow, tried to pull it, then nodded in satisfaction, without explaining, but walked to the side, called an extremely burly caravan guard, and ordered in a low voice, As soon as he stretched out his figure, the man rose into the air like a big bird, soared down to the city, and when his feet landed, he rolled and jumped up again, rushing forward like a galloping horse In just a moment, he had rushed to less than two hundred steps away from the soldiers of the Salar tribe who were doing evil.

"Go, kill him!"

"Here's a murderer, come on, brothers!"

Although Li Yaodong's movements were fast, they couldn't hide from the observation of the Tuca allied forces. Seeing Li Yaodong's forward speed was so astonishing, all the soldiers of the Salar tribe couldn't help being shocked, but seeing that Li Yaodong was only one person, they became emboldened They all screamed and rushed towards Li Yaodong, intending to rely on the superiority in numbers to kill Li Yaodong, who dared to break into the army alone, on the spot.

"Die!"

Seeing the Salar soldiers rushing over, Li Yaodong did not panic at all. While running, he untied the iron bow from his waist, flipped his hand over, and took several feathered arrows in his hand. With a loud roar, he fired arrows, but when the bowstring sounded, the three arrows shot out in a zigzag shape, and shot into the crowd of chaotic soldiers rushing like a rainbow flying from the sky. Two people fell down, but Li Yaodong didn't stop at all, he kept firing his bow and arrows, and shot nearly [-] feathered arrows in a row, shooting down more than [-] people on the spot, and the rest of the Salar tribe soldiers were thrown into chaos immediately. The rushing momentum stopped abruptly, and everyone scattered in panic, hesitating and not daring to forcibly move forward.

"waste!"

Hezzan, who was watching the excitement from the back of the formation, was immediately annoyed when he saw that the soldiers of the Salar tribe were timid. He cursed disdainfully and raised his hand. Ruo rushed towards Li Yaodong and killed him like thunder, the sound of horseshoes rumbled, and the evil spirit was steaming.

"Be careful, the enemy cavalry is dispatched!"

"Treasurer Li, retreat quickly!"

"Be careful, Brother Li, come back soon!"

The defenders on the top of the wall were cheering for Li Yaodong's wonderful archery skills, when they suddenly saw the smoke and dust rising from the enemy's rear, they panicked and roared.

"Die, die, die!"

Li Yaodong's sight was blocked, so he couldn't see the enemy's cavalry clearly, but he didn't panic because of it. He roared and shot the last few feather arrows one by one. After shooting and killing two Salar tribe soldiers again, he finally Throwing down the iron bow in his hand, he turned around and rushed towards the city wall with all his strength. The speed was extremely fast, but compared with the galloping Tubo cavalry, it was not as good. At a distance of seventy or eighty steps from the city, the Tubo cavalry team had already passed the hesitant Salar rebels. The distance between the two sides was rapidly reduced, and it was quickly reduced from a hundred steps to less than fifty steps. At this time, Li Yaodong was still twenty steps away from the city wall. Seeing that it was difficult to climb up the city wall before the Tubo cavalry arrived, all the defenders at the top of the city exclaimed, and the crossbowmen took their positions one after another. Desperately shooting feathered arrows, trying to block the charge of the pursuers, but this group of Tubo cavalry was determined to kill Li Yaodong on the spot, although a dozen people were shot and killed by the rain of arrows from the top of the city, but the rest still did not care. Let the horse rush wildly.

"Boss, catch it!"

In the chaos, the burly guard that Li Yaodong had ordered earlier was not flustered at all. He picked up the iron chain he had already held in his hand, shook it a few times, and threw it out of the city forcefully. The long iron chain pierced through the space straight like a spear, and quickly shot in front of Li Yaodong.

"rise!"

Li Yaodong had already made preparations for a long time. When he saw the iron chain shooting towards him, he immediately put his foot down, and he was already flying into the air. He grabbed the end of the iron chain quickly with his eyes and hands. Seeing this, the guards on the top of the wall shouted. With a loud voice, he pulled it with all his strength, and the iron chain flew back quickly. At the same time, the Tubo cavalry rushed to the ground, but saw two cavalry stand up vigorously, each with their own swords, two The sharp steel knife struck from left to right, and slashed heavily between Li Yaodong's waist and abdomen, intending to slash Li Yaodong in half.

"Roar……"

Facing a situation that was almost certain to kill, Li Yaodong roared loudly, his waist and abdomen were heaved, and his whole body suddenly curled up. He narrowly passed the double sabers, but the two pieces of his clothes were ruthlessly cut by the blades. He got down, but that was all. Before the Tubo cavalry could draw back their swords and slash again, Li Yaodong was dragged and swung onto the city wall. After a few clicks on the chain, it successfully turned over to the top of the city.

"Good job, shopkeeper Li is mighty!"

"Wonderful, amazing!"

"awesome!"

Seeing Li Yaodong's prowess, all the officers and soldiers cheered, and the anger originally aroused by the shameless behavior of the coalition forces was instantly released.

"Brother Li, this is too risky. Fortunately, you are fine. Otherwise, Zhang really doesn't know how to explain to His Highness!"

Zhang Mingwu didn't expect Li Yaodong to take such a fierce counterattack beforehand. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to take such a risk. Seeing Li Yaodong's smooth return at this moment, although he was very pleasantly surprised, he was still afraid of the aftermath, so he touched it Touching his sweaty forehead, he said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, the thief can't make a plan, and he will attack tomorrow. A deadly battle is inevitable. Master Zhang, please prepare early!"

Li Yaodong fought in anger before, and he already had the consciousness of dying in battle. After surviving this time, he was also terrified. However, seeing that the oppressive atmosphere at the top of the city has eased a little, he was quite comforted in his heart. I really didn't want to talk about it any more, so I changed the subject.

"Well, I know what's in my mind, it's really a great fortune for Zhang to have Brother Li's help this time!"

Zhang Mingwu originally respected Li Yaodong, but it was mainly due to his status as a special envoy of the King of England. After seeing Li Yaodong's miraculous martial arts this time, he was completely convinced in his heart, so he nodded, full of emotion replied.

Li Yaodong didn't say any more, but looked at the main formation of the Tubo army solemnly, his eyes were full of worry, probably because he knew very well that such a small force in the city would hardly stop the Tubo army from making a comeback, if reinforcements did not arrive, Tomorrow will be the most difficult day in Yanhan City, whether it can survive until dark, I am afraid that only the heavens will know.

"withdraw troops!"

Seeing that a good show of aggressive generals was completely bankrupt, Herzzan didn't even bother to regenerate his anger. He looked at the cheering defenders above the city with hatred, and with a wave of his hand, he issued an order to withdraw troops. The frustrated Tuza coalition army no longer had the complacency they had before, and drove thousands of captured Datang people in disorder, and turned back to the camp outside the west city... Chenshi is the real card, the sky finally dawned, and it was difficult The night finally passed—since yesterday afternoon, the Tuza coalition army hadn’t lived in peace. They openly sent troops to escort the looted property and luggage from Anxiang to the rear, and sent people to the city to scold and fight. They continued to torture the poor captured people for fun, and the noise didn't stop until late at night, but the defenders in the city didn't move.

"Woooooooo..."

At three o'clock in the morning, a shrill horn sounded, and the gate of the camp of the Tusa coalition army burst open. Two Tubo cavalry rode out first, and rushed to a mile or so below the city. , Teams of armored warriors stepped out from the camp, orderly and uniform, extremely majestic, far from comparable to the previous two days. Obviously, under the cover of night, the Tubo reinforcements had quietly rushed to the battlefield. For the defenders who were already powerless, it can be said to be worse. Now the defenders are not faced with the question of whether they can defend or not, but how long they can defend.

"Attack!"

The Tubo army moved extremely fast, and within a quarter of an hour, they had already formed a strong attack formation below the city. Herzzan didn't talk nonsense, but just raised his hand coldly, and issued a strong attack order. With a ferocious sound, thousands of Tubo heavy infantry, under the cover of the cavalry brigade, roared and rushed towards the city of Fanghan. Since the start of the war, the biggest crisis that the defenders have encountered is already in sight.
