Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2317 Countermeasures
In Shenggong City, it rained heavily.

After the nine princesses went back to rest, Li Junxian immediately ordered people to mobilize the servants in the city and all other available soldiers and horses to come.

Shenggong City is just a small county town, and there are not many yamen servants, only a few dozen people.

However, there are about [-] soldiers in the county. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers cannot be compared with regular soldiers, but they are definitely better than ordinary people.

Five hundred soldiers, plus the two hundred Xiliang guards brought by Princess Kejiu and the others, there were almost seven hundred soldiers and horses.

These [-] soldiers fought desperately against Tuyuhun's [-] soldiers, there was no possibility of victory. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Xiang soldiers was much weaker. If they went out of the city to fight, they would have to die.

But if you defend the city, you should be able to defend it for a period of time.

In fact, if Shenggong City was large and the towers were relatively strong, 700 people could completely exhaust the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, and they would never be able to attack the towers.

But Shenggong City is too small, and the city towers are just so-so, just slightly stronger than some high-rise houses and courtyards. In this way, it is impossible to keep Shenggong City for a long time.

However, they have already sent people to send pigeons to send letters for help. As long as they can persist for a while, they should be able to survive until the arrival of reinforcements.

The heavy rain was still falling, and seven hundred soldiers stood on the tower, they were not afraid of wind and rain.

Qin Wuyou stood on the tower and looked into the distance. He was very clear about the current situation, but there was no trace of worry on his face.

He didn't seem to worry at all that they would not be able to defend the city.

His composure made Li Junxian suddenly think of Qin Tian, ​​they... it seems.

Of course, it's not about the looks, but about the temperament, the kind of temperament when facing danger, Qin Wuyou and Qin Tian are really similar.

However, although Qin Wuyou was very calm, Li Junxian still walked over: "My lord, this place is very dangerous, I still advise you to go back and rest, just leave it to the subordinates, there will never be any problems .”

Qin Wuyou was only in his teens, and although he was a bit strong, he was still incomparable to Li Junxian, and his height was no more than Li Junxian's neck.

He was actually a little nervous. He had been well protected by his father and mother before, and had never encountered any danger, but even if he was a little nervous, he felt that he should not back down.

"I'm very aware of General Li's worries, but I won't leave. Tuyuhun wants to capture us and threaten his father, so I'll let them know that their goal will not be achieved because I don't agree."

He has a domineering arrogance.

Li Junxian was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly felt that what he was facing was not just a child, he had grown up and was more mature than his peers.

I don't know how long it took, but the rain gradually subsided.

And at this moment, amidst the rain, the figures of soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun appeared.

After seeing the figure of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, Qin Wuyou's eyes froze for a moment: "They are all dead."

Li Junxian was taken aback for a moment, but he soon understood who Qin Wuyou was talking about, the Xiliang soldiers who died after three hundred deaths.

Since Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses came, they must have died.

Tragic, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Li Junxian still felt that the three hundred soldiers died very tragically.

Maybe they will die too, and they will die tragically, right?

A gust of wind came, and Li Junxian pulled out the knife at his waist. It was a knife that he had used for many years, but in the past two years, he never pulled it out of its sheath less and less.

He had almost forgotten that he was once a general of Datang, and at this moment, that feeling came back.

Suddenly he found that he still likes this feeling.

A person has fought too many battles and seen too much blood. In the end, some may not be content with mediocrity, and some may be the desire for fighting. Only blood can make them feel alive.

The last destination they worship may be the shroud of horse leather.

To be able to die on the battlefield is also an honor, right?
Better than dying in bed.

"Archer ready."

In the rain, one Great Tang Divine Crossbow was pulled out one after another. This thing has been very popular in the Great Tang, and it is basically found in many places.

In addition to the Great Tang Divine Crossbow, Zhuge Liannu and so on were also brought out.

Just as the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses approached their city, within their firing range, Li Junxian immediately shouted: "Launch."

The sharp arrows are like rain, and the sharp arrows break through the rain.

The Tuyuhun soldiers had just rushed over, before they stopped, and before they even had time to get ready, the sharp arrows flew over.

They wanted to raise their heads, but the rain quickly fell into their eyes, making it hard for them to open them.

It was a little difficult for them to rush over.

One after another, the sharp arrows hit the Tuyuhun soldiers in front one after another.

They can't get through.

After doing this several times, the soldiers of Tuyuhun finally realized the truth.

"General, it's not the right time to rain. Our sharp arrows can't shoot through, and it's difficult to attack the city. I think we should wait for the rain to stop before attacking the city."

"Yes, there are too many sharp arrows in Xiliang. I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city. Let's figure it out before making plans."

"........."

All the soldiers persuaded one after another. Although Xi Lele was a little unwilling, but seeing this situation, she was helpless. She could only nod her head and said, "Order the soldiers to retreat, and make plans after the rain stops."

When the order to retreat was issued, the soldiers of Tuyuhun retreated one after another. On the tower, Li Junxian couldn't help curling his lips when he saw that the soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun had retreated, but he was relieved in his heart.

This time they easily repelled Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses, but he knew very well that this was only due to the rain. If there was no rain, it would be easier for Tuyuhun to attack the city, and their pressure would be greater.

After the rain stopped, Tuyuhun soldiers would definitely come to attack the city, and they had to be prepared.

Li Junxian gave the order quickly, and the soldiers immediately made preparations without any hesitation.

Before I knew it, the sky darkened and night came.

Qin Wuyou didn't go back to stay with his mother and the others, but lived in the barracks with those soldiers.

His behavior warmed the hearts of those soldiers.

The sons of the King of Xiliang are sharing weal and woe with them. What can they not do for the King of Xiliang?
In many cases, subduing people's hearts is a very simple matter, and it is enough to suffer with it.

Although they were in danger here to protect the Ninth Princess, this did not prevent them from working their lives for Qin Wuyou and others, and for Qin Tian.
