Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 325 Xiqiele City
"Brother Su, why did you say that, younger brother is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Cheng Chuliang felt as if he had been humiliated, and said loudly with his face flushed.

"Brother, don't misunderstand, brother has no other intentions. Firstly, brother has no military service. Secondly, it is also the most important thing. He needs someone to bring the news back.

After you break out of the siege, find a way to find Yuchi Baolin who came this time, don't rush to take revenge, hide, find out the reason, and then send the news back to Chang'an, waiting for orders. "Su Dingfang patted him on the shoulder, lowered his voice, and said with emphasis.

"Little brother understands! I swear that I will bring someone back." Cheng Chuliang nodded vigorously, his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth.

"Hehe! Second Brother Cheng, you are still young. Go back to Chang'an this time to learn how to use soldiers. Brother believes that you will avenge us. In addition, tell Commander Feng Daiwen that a certain family failed to complete the mission and lost the Western Regions. He was disappointed." Su Dingfang looked relaxed. , said with a faint smile.

"I've been hearing my brother talk about the second brother of the Feng family. It is said that he is a hero. My brother, Yuchi Dalang and others admire him. He even said that he is far inferior. My brother has never been afraid of anyone except Aye. To be so admired by him, I think it is certain He's a remarkable person." Cheng Chuliang said in a slightly dazed manner when he heard Feng Daiwen being mentioned.

"Wei Guo is indeed a remarkable person. Not only does he have literary and military abilities far beyond ordinary people, but he is also good at discovering, promoting subordinates, being open-minded, never greedy for merit, and never forgetting his brothers when he has benefits." Su Dingfang recalled the past , said happily and sincerely.

"Brother Su seems to admire him a lot, but Brother Feng is really good. With him taking care of the family, his income has increased a lot in recent years." Cheng Chuliang also said with a smile when he saw Su Dingfang showing sincere friendship.

"Well! A certain family originally planned to join the army, but Weiguo directly promoted them to entrust them with important tasks and made great contributions. They were then reused by the Holy One to guard the Western Regions. Unfortunately, they owed the Holy Grace and felt ashamed to return to Chang'an.

You can report truthfully when you go back, there is no need to excuse someone, go get busy. "Su Dingfang's expression darkened, and he shook his head and said.

"Brother, leave!" Cheng Chuliang looked at Luo Ji, Su Dingfang, and really didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to go to work first.

After Cheng Chuliang left, Su Dingfang began to patrol and check the defense. The biggest advantage of the Western Regions was that there were few trees, which also prevented the attacker from finding wood to use as siege weapons. Even the ladders were brought from other places. A lot has been destroyed in the past few days, and in addition to the small size of the city, it took more than 3000 people to defend it for several days.

Injured, most of those who died were recruits and recruits from the Western Regions. The soldiers in Xiqiele had died long ago. The remaining [-] were intact, and [-] were slightly injured. They were all elites of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, there are no arrows now. Otherwise, it would not be a problem to stick to it for a few days. Without the suppression of arrows, the next battle will be more difficult. This makes Su Dingfang have no choice but to choose to fight recklessly.

The military discipline of the Tang Dynasty is strict, and these are guarding soldiers. If they escape because of this, unless they don’t return to the Central Plains for the rest of their lives, or going back will be a dead end. Unless the superiors order them, they can only fight to the death. The same is true for the death pension, which is one of the reasons why the soldiers are willing to fight to the death, and Su Dingfang has always shared joys and sorrows in the army, and is deeply loved by his subordinates. In addition, he is highly skilled in martial arts, and he has always taken the lead in battle, making his subordinates willing to live and die together.

…………

Outside the city of Xiqiele—the fierce attack for several days resulted in nearly [-] casualties from the Allied Forces of the Six Nations. It was originally a coalition of small countries, and the casualties of nearly [-] people have already shattered two or three of them, which is unacceptable.

"It can't be done! In just a few days, more than half of them were killed or injured. Starting tomorrow, I will not participate in the attack. I will only be responsible for guarding the side." Mi Xiu shouted in the camp.

"Well, our He Country also means the same thing."

"And our country of history!"

The three countries in a row said that they had lost too many people and could no longer attack. Don't blame them for that. Generally, failure in the Western Regions is tantamount to destroying the country, so they are unwilling to let their subordinates make sacrifices.

Cui Meng was leading the army of Shi Guo, and he also knew what these small countries were thinking. Fortunately, the purpose of consuming the Tang Dynasty's troops was basically achieved, and its own main force was still there, and the other two countries were also bought, so it was not easy to force them too much, so He smiled and said: "In this case, the three of you will take your own troops to guard the three sides, and leave the rest to us."

When the Three Kingdoms heard Cui Meng's promise, they all nodded happily, expressing that they would be optimistic about the three sides, so that no one in the city would escape, and then they resigned to arrange staff.

"Three foxes! Bah!" After the three of them left, General Bi Guo cursed with a thick beard and spit towards the door.

In many places in the Western Regions, foxes call people cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, which of course also means cunning.

As a well-educated child of a century-old family, Cui Meng was quite disgusted with this kind of rude behavior, and looked at the thick phlegm very disgustingly.

Turning his head away, trying to make himself not care about it, he endured the discomfort in his heart, cheered up, and comforted him with a forced smile: "It's okay, a lot of Tang troops have been consumed these days, we are enough, and I will be fussy with them in the future. "

"The Tang Dynasty is really fierce, but fortunately there are not many of them!" Mu Guo's general sighed with lingering fear.

Cui Meng is also very helpless for these rare and strange people from the Western Regions. Compared with Datang, there is indeed a big gap, which makes him feel a little proud. Unfortunately, he is not considered as a Datang person. Thinking of leaving his hometown, he can't help but feel sad .

"At the end of today, Datang has no arrows to shoot. I'm afraid there are none. After all, this is not the Central Plains, and they have difficulty in supplying, so everyone can rest assured that they will attack, and they will definitely attack." Cui Meng encouraged. This former aristocratic child has grown up, has a lot of experience, and can see the battle situation.

I heard that the Tang Dynasty had no arrows, which made the generals of the two countries happy. It was the Tang crossbow arrows that made them suffer a lot. Originally, people in the Western Regions were not good at attacking cities. Every time they climbed up, they were shot wildly by crossbow arrows, and they failed.

Moreover, most of the nearly [-] people who were killed or injured were shot to death, so that a large number of archers had to be dispatched to suppress them in the next few days. For the tall and powerful people from the Western Regions, since they were young, they have not felt so much pressure. Although they have almost no armor, they have ten times the strength of the troops, and they are naturally confident in the face of the few Tang troops in the city.

As a general of the Tang Dynasty, defending the city is only the most basic requirement. Although there are no arrows in the city, and the hot oil used to defend the city is exhausted, Su Dingfang asked the houses in the city to be demolished, and the clay pots and iron pots were collected. , loaded with golden juice (big dung) and piled up on the top of the city, it will burn hot and fall down when the war starts.
