Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1434: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
Su Cheng had been very confident before that the Tubo people would definitely come to attack Xinghai City in order to get him, but as time passed, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that he felt good about himself?

In other words, Songtsen Gampo didn't have much ambition at all?
If the Tubo people did not attack Xinghai in the end, then he would lose his face a lot.

Not only did he lose face in front of the soldiers of Shenji Battalion, but he also lost face in front of the emperor and all the important ministers. If the news spreads in the future, he would lose face in front of all the people in the world.

Maybe Songtsan Gampo would laugh at him for being sentimental when he finally found out.

While Su Cheng was eating and worrying about gains and losses, a soldier came in suddenly, and said excitedly: "My lord, there are scouts coming to report!"

Su Cheng couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that, he threw down his chopsticks and said repeatedly: "Quick, send the scouts in."

It didn't take long before a scout full of travel and dust came in with the soldiers, and said respectfully: "I want to report to the Duke, I felt the tremor on the ground about forty miles southwest of Xinghai City, as if there was a big wave The cavalry is coming, the little one dare not neglect, hurry back and report!"

Su Cheng laughed and said: "Okay, okay, it can be regarded as the arrival of the Tubo people. You have worked hard, go down and rest, the guild will credit you!"

"Sound the alarm and order the battalions to stop their drills and be ready for battle at any time."

Su Cheng didn't beat the drums to gather the generals, because these days he and the soldiers have been deducing continuously, and they have already arranged everything for the defense of the city, and they just wait for the Tubo people to attack the city.

The soldiers hurried forward to deliver the order, Xue Wanche strode over and said excitedly: "My lord, I heard that a scout has come to report back? But is there any good news?"

Su Cheng laughed and said, "Of course it's good news. The scouts felt the ground tremor [-] miles southwest of Xinghai City."

Xue Wanche rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "The Tubo people have really come! That's great! It can be regarded as looking forward to them coming!"

If Songtsan Gampo saw Xue Wanche's excitement and surprise as if his wish had come true, he might be so angry that he vomited blood.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Go, go and have a look on the city wall!"

The scouts rushed back to report the news, and the Tubo people must be on their way. At this time, the Tubo people should not be far from Xinghai City.

"Okay, let's see how many people have come from Tubo." Xue Wanche was more anxious than Su Cheng.

The two strode out of the city lord's mansion and walked towards the top of the city. Along the way, they met many generals. It was not their turn to be on duty today, so they also wanted to feel the top of the city to have a look.

Even if the Tubo people feel the fall of the city today, it is impossible to attack the city today, and they must be prepared if they want to attack the city.

Su Cheng and a group of generals boarded the top of the city. With the ringing of the alarm bell, the soldiers on duty on the city wall were already awake, and they all stared at the outside of the city with burning eyes.

Looking far away, Su Cheng didn't see the shadow of the Tubo people. He put his hands on the city wall and could feel the city wall trembling slightly.

Su Cheng said in a deep voice, "The city wall is trembling!"

Xue Wanche and the others quickly reached out to touch the city wall after hearing this, and said happily, "It's really trembling, the trembling continues, it's definitely the Tubo cavalry."

All the generals were happy when they heard that the Tubo people finally came!
It can be regarded as looking forward to you!

Su Cheng took out the binoculars and began to look around. Even with the binoculars, he couldn't see clearly. He could only see a yellow field in the distance, which should be the smoke and dust raised by a large group of cavalry.

Su Cheng smiled and said: "I can only see a vast expanse of yellow, it seems that the distance is quite far."

Xue Wanche also raised his binoculars to look around, staring wide-eyed, and said with a smile: "It looks like there are at least thirty or forty miles away."

Su Cheng looked up at the sky, shook his head in disappointment and said, "It seems that if the Tubo people want to get to the city, they have to go to sunset. We've been looking forward to it for nothing."

After hearing this, Li Yun hurriedly said: "Grandpa, then we can attack the camp while the Tubo people are not firmly established, and we will definitely gain something!"

Xue Wanche nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, they are besieging the city with a large army, and they think that we will definitely defend the city with firearms. They must not have thought that we will go to attack at night. In addition, they are exhausted from a long distance, so we will definitely be able to gain something."

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "No, what if we accidentally defeat the Tubo people again? Once the Tubo people flee everywhere, we will not be able to complete the task of severely injuring the Tubo people. To be on the safe side, let's defend the city honestly Let's wait for the army to encircle."

Xue Wanche, Li Yun and others couldn't help touching their foreheads, and almost forgot about it!You can't beat the Tubo people too hard!

If they attacked the camp, maybe the Tubo people were really repulsed at once, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Therefore, no matter how hard it is to hold back the itch, it must be restrained.

Xue Wanche rubbed his hands, nodded and said: "That's right, if the night raid directly kills the Tubo people, it will be troublesome."

"Speaking of which, I, Xue Wanche, have fought many battles, big and small, but I have never fought this kind of battle. I am afraid that I will drive the enemy away!"

Xue Wanche is a straight-forward person, and he likes to charge forward the most. Now that the enemy army is coming, but he can't rush out to kill him, it really makes him feel uncomfortable, like a cat's paw scratching his heart.

Not only Xue Wanche, Li Yun and other generals of Shenji Battalion didn't feel this way.

Su Cheng smiled and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. When the army is surrounded, there will be a time when you will be soft."

Xue Wanche laughed and said, "It's impossible to be soft-handed. I'm afraid that the Tubo people won't be able to chop it up enough. After all, there are so many people robbing it!"

Li Yun waited for him to nod again and again, how could he be lenient when it comes to head-grabbing?Every time a Tubo person is cut down, it is a merit!
While speaking, I could already see a large black shadow slowly moving towards this side in the distance, and the tremor of the city wall became more and more severe. That was the Tubo cavalry.

Black clouds were overwhelming the city, and Su Cheng suddenly remembered this poem.

In the distance, the Tubo cavalry galloped forward with majestic momentum, really like a boundless black cloud that was about to destroy the city.

However, Su Cheng looked around, but found that the expressions of the soldiers around him hadn't changed much.

Because they were full of confidence in their hearts, they were not intimidated by the momentum of the Tubo cavalry.

The Tubo cavalry in the distance were constantly approaching, and finally stopped at a distance of more than ten miles from Xinghai City. They seemed to be preparing to set up camp, and obviously did not plan to attack the city immediately.
