Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 319 Precursor of Disintegration

Dense black shadows flew high into the sky, covering the gray light of the sky for a long time.

The arrows of the cracking strings drew a trajectory in the air, and were thrown to the top of the city in a black mass.

A rain of arrows slanted down from the top of the city.

Under the city wall for several miles, there are all figures with bows and arrows, and there are captains running and shouting on the top of the city.

"Raise the shield! Hold it!"

While speaking, the shield soldier raised the broken arrow shield that had been tied into a hedgehog a long time ago above his head, rushed forward, and quickly pressed his comrades who had bowed down on the wall pile under the shield.

Cheng Yaojin also threw away the horse lance in his hand, took an iron shield from the top of the city, and pulled Li Jing, who was watching the battle from the top of the city, into the protection range of the shield.The cronies beside him also quickly pressed the shield into a ball, and there were crackling sounds all around their ears.

The arrow hit the iron shield and bounced back to the ground, or stuck in a thinner place.There were also unlucky soldiers who were shot in the thighs and arms by the arrows, and suddenly suffered pain and hurriedly left the protection of the shield. More arrows were inserted into the body, and they turned into hedgehogs in an instant amidst the wailing sound.

Cheng Yaojin shrank behind the shield, cursing angrily with the sound of ding ding bang bang.

"Damn it! It just came to attack the city yesterday, and it's here again today."

"I really want to rush out and poke a few transparent holes in him. I'll be so angry."

Li Jing, who was also avoiding the rain of arrows under the shield, lost some of his previous caution. Instead, he was a little happy in his heart, and shouted loudly towards the outside.

"Everyone is not allowed to leave the city without authorization, and the shield soldiers stand up!"

"Fu Yun won't last long, there's nothing he can do to jump over the wall! I'll collect these arrows later, and plan to counterattack in the next few days!"

In recent days, Tuyuhun suddenly changed his previous conservative strategy of defending the city, and suddenly attacked the entire Lingzhou City.It is strange to say that it is obviously a tribe of 20 people. It stands to reason that it is not difficult to take the city with a sigh of relief.

But these days alone, the number of arrows has increased sharply, while the number of soldiers charging to attack the city has declined day by day, and even the number of ladders and other equipment has decreased greatly.

Li Jing suspected that there was a disagreement within the temporarily assembled army, and a bolder guess was that Li Xian caused a lot of trouble at the border, which made the leaders feel uneasy. With reservations, I didn't try my best.

Above the city, Li Jing thought that a small number of soldiers were guarding it steadily. Although the supply of food, fodder and soldiers became the biggest problem, at least the aura of the generals did not suffer a big decline under Li Jing's personal condolences.

Cheng Yaojin heard that Li Jing was boosting morale again, his eyes were like copper bells, looking at the face close at hand, he was spitting excitedly.

"Marshal, are you serious about the truth?"

The first round of arrow rain stopped, Li Jing took the opportunity to wipe the saliva from his face, walked away from Cheng Yaojin in disgust, and stared at him.

"When will I lie to someone?"

"Although I don't know what trouble Li Xian caused at the border, but judging from the reaction of these leaders' siege, there must be something wrong with their stable rear."

"These tribal leaders came here for the food and grass of the Tang Dynasty. There must be something more important than this food and grass, which caused them to be so panicked."

Pointing to the ordinary mound that has been built on the opposite side, Li Jing has a bit of wisdom on his face.

"Building mounds, higher than the height of our city, this is what makes the siege extremely simple."

"But at this critical juncture, these soldiers actually gave up. They only wanted to shoot arrows, and they didn't want to waste their upper body energy to do such things. This shows that in the Tuyuhun army, the wise man is no longer used."

"As a coach, you can't see the talents and think of others, and you can't give full play to your talents. This is the beginning of defeat."

Hey.

Hey hey hey.

Cheng Yaojin smiled at his side, with a look of excitement on his face, he stuffed the iron shield in his hand into the arms of the soldier beside him, bowed his hands to Li Jing in front of him, and said excitedly in a rough voice .

"Commander, the last general invites you to fight, and is willing to be the vanguard."

"When the army retreats, no piece of armor will be left to kill him!"

……

"Tens of thousands of horses! Can't even conquer a single city?"

There was a hysterical roar in the yurt, and Fu Yun looked at the leaders sitting silently by the side of the tent with his hands behind his back, his eyes widened and his face full of anger.

"In the previous attack on Lingzhou City, tens of thousands of generals were able to climb the top of the city, but now they have not even climbed a few steps on the ladder? Why is that?"

"Tuba! The lonely king asked you to lead the charge, where are your subordinates?"

Seeing that no one responded, Fu Yun simply picked up the model and questioned Tuba.

Due to the presence of the leader of the tiger cavalry in the tent, Tuba suppressed the anger in his heart and stood up reluctantly.

He folded his hands on his shoulders, bowed and saluted, hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth to the figure at the head of the tent.

"Khan, I don't know that my subordinates are all greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Li Xian made a lot of noise in the rear. The power of a hundred people destroyed the city, which is extremely terrifying."

"Now go to the wasteland station, there are many wives and children of our people left there. If these hundred people are allowed to wreak havoc, what's the point of taking this Lingzhou City?"

As Li Xian and his party went deeper, more and more people reported from the wasteland, and the burning, killing and looting had to attract the attention of these tribal leaders.

It is also true that these leaders are worried about the fact that the Khan and the military division concealed the truth, and secretly exclude the military division in every possible way, so they have some objections to Fu Yunduo.

Such words were spoken, and the leaders around them no longer concealed them, they stood up and echoed.

"Khan, after all, this tribe is our homeland. We went out to war for a morsel of food, but if we had to sacrifice the lives of the common people, the price would be too expensive."

"Lingzhou City can't be attacked to death. Instead of waiting here to fight, it's better for us to go home first."

Raising his eyes slightly, he glanced at the figure on the stage, and his voice became quieter.

"Wait until the autumn harvest, when the horses are fat and healthy, and the grain and fodder are abundant, then make plans."

Bang!
The desk at the head of the account was kicked over, and the meat on the table was smashed together with the pottery dishes, making a clanging sound.

Instead, a roar came from the head of the account.

"Is this the reason you gave to the lonely king?"

"A mere hundred riders actually let the 20 army squadron return to the court? Does Li Xian have such ability?"

"Could it be that the soldiers put aside in the lonely king's imperial city are decorations? Could it be that the tens of thousands of people on our grasslands are cowards who stretched their necks and let Li Xian hack them? Could it be that the three thousand tiger riders mobilized by the lonely king were also Is it just a decoration?"

With the violent ups and downs of his chest, Fu Yun panted heavily and stepped forward step by step from the head of the tent. His gaze passed over the drooping heads of these leaders one by one, and finally stopped in front of Tuba, poking his fingers at his broad and strong chest. He said every word.

"Tell your tribe that the army has already reached the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so there is no simple withdrawal."

"Tomorrow, you will lead the battle, take your people to the top of the city, if you can't take it down, take your head and pass it on to the three armies!"

The cloak was lifted, and the angry figures strode out of the big tent, no longer looking at these frowning leaders, the unbelievable voice resounded through the big tent the moment they left the tent.

"Give the order down, start immediately, and the retreating soldiers will immediately ask to beheaded, regardless of the reason!"
