Chapter 185: Defending the City III
Chapter 185: Defending the City Three"
After giving these instructions to Mang Lumeng Zan, Tuzan Langri suddenly controlled his horse and shouted, "Tell me the general order. After the city is broken, you must not hurt the life of this scholar in the Tang Dynasty. Even if you have a heavier hand, it will not hurt his hands or feet. There is a slave to the Southern Barbarian who teaches Tang language in my mansion." At this point, Tuzan Langri suddenly turned around and stared at Tang Li on the city tower, then raised three points of the volume and said, "It's him!"
In fact, Tang Li did not hear clearly the words that were intended to arouse morale from the downstairs of the city. After this fierce battle, the original scholar had already exhausted his physical strength, and the last long roar had squeezed out his last little potential. At this time, Tang Li supported him to stand still with the tone in his chest.
Seeing that the Tubo army's siege team under the city tower began to slowly shrink to the central army, Tang Li, who felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and his body began to shake slightly in the constant cheers on the city tower. If Tang Guang, behind him, had not come forward to support him with force, would have been afraid that the hero who was wearing black and white clothes would inevitably fall to the ground.
After releasing the bloody and courageous spirit in his chest, Tang Li seemed to have just finished a marathon, and was dizzy and palpitations. The muscles on his arms and legs were trembling uncontrollably in his clothes. He seemed to have a fire in his throat, and his stomach was rumbling and he was about to retching.
Tang Guang beside him saw the young master's face pale and sweating profusely. When he looked up, he came over to help Tang Li retreat and rest.
Wherever Tang Li passed, the Tang troops in Lingzhou, who were also exhausted, were divided into two rows. They cheered and watched the sudden hero walk slowly.
Turning back to the pile of rolling wood, Tang Li kept gasping for breath as soon as he sat down.
"This is a fight that is too strong and takes off your strength. You can help him pat his arms and legs and feet, and rest for a while and then he will be fine." A cold voice with a slight admiration suddenly sounded. When Tang Guang turned his head to look, he saw a general who was over thirty years old, with a naturally cold face on his face. The person who showed his identity was the set of bright silver and fine chain mail. Only looking at such a court-style armor, Li Guangbi, the military envoy of this state, arrived.
Seeing that he was here, Tang Guang didn't know the young master's true thoughts, so he didn't answer the conversation. After smiling and thanking him, he turned to Tang Li to massage his arms.
There is a master here. The slave is not allowed to respond without orders. This is a common saying. Therefore, Li Guangbi not only disregards Tang Guang's behavior, but instead nods slightly to praise his politeness.
"Lu joined the army and recorded the name and origin of the young master. After this battle, he should submit a letter to the court to ask for merit and reward him." As soon as Li Guangbi finished speaking, a record officer in his forties came forward with a thin book.
"It's not too late to discuss this matter after Tubo retreated." After resting for a while, Tang Li, who finally adjusted his breathing evenly, said softly, and reluctantly bowed to Li Guangbi and smiled, "Zheng Li in Xingyang has seen the military envoy." He did not want to reveal his identity now, Tang Li borrowed Zheng Lianqing's surname and added his own name.
"Zheng Yang Family. No wonder!" Even though Li Guangbi grew up in the army since he was a child, he was not unfamiliar with the four major sects of Cui, Lu, Li and Zheng. When these four major sects cultivated their children, Feng Yi was the most important thing, who witnessed everything just now. Li Bingma Envoy did not have any doubts about the identity of the person in front of him.
After looking at Tang Li's clothes again, Li Guangbi's affection for this young man who was born in a high school but was able to do something brave enough to kill the enemy just now. However, he was born with a cold face of seriousness. He had never been polite to greet him, so he did not have too many false words, and his eyes turned to Tang Guang and others and said, "These people are servants of Mr. Zheng!"
"They are not my servants." He turned his head and glanced at Tang Guang and others. Tang Li turned to Li Guangbi and said, "They are all my family!".
Tang Lu, slaves are like animal products, and the master has the right to live and kill. Although Tang Guang and others knew that the young master had always treated them well, they still couldn't help but feel aroused in their hearts when they heard Tang Li say such words in front of others, and their feelings of excitement were hard to express.
If we say that the most important identity and honor in the world are undoubtedly those Confucian families who claim to be inherited by etiquette and law, and naturally, the four high sects are the best. Therefore, Tang Li's unexpected answer made Li Guangbi slightly stunned. After a moment, he nodded gently to respond, but there was a little more praise in his eyes when he looked at Tang Li, "If it comes to their performance just now, brothers and brothers are just like this, and the word "family" is not an exaggeration!"
"Thank you for your praise from the soldiers and horses," he smiled faintly. After traveling through time for a long time, his identity is different now. So even though he knew that there were several famous generals in history, Tang Li's performance was still the same.
One was an official and the other was a "civilian". At this time, Tang Li had enough rest, but he had no intention of getting up and treating the courtesy. The military envoy did not mind at all. After pondering for a while, Li Guangbi looked at Tang Guang and others and said, "It is enough to have a 'family' on the city tower to defend the enemy. As for Mr. Zheng, let's go back to rest now. There is no need to come back on the city. When the Tubo soldiers retreat in the future, they will hold a banquet to invite the young master to congratulate him!" His implication was that he would exempt Tang Li from being summoned.
When Tang Guangbi heard Li Guangbi say such words, Tang Guang and others showed joy, while Tang Li changed his expression. This time, he came to the city with a desire to die. In his heart, he thought that as a Tang man, fighting bravely was unshirkable. Now that Li Guangbi said this lightly, Tang Li not only did not feel the other party's kindness, but he felt that he was despised and humiliated by others.
"Oh, what does this mean by the military commander?" He just experienced the first harsh battle in his life. After resting, although Tang Li adjusted his breathing evenly, his mood was difficult to be as quiet as usual. In such a mood and environment, his words naturally became more aggressive, "Defend the territory and defend against the enemy. Every man is responsible! He fought for his own country, so General Li's order is too domineering, right?"
Growing up in the army since he was a child, Li Guangbi was used to seeing the various abnormal behaviors of the new recruits after the initial bloody battle. At this time, Tang Lidi showed that this was the case. In addition, what he said was really great to his spleen and stomach, so he was not angry at all, but as the head general of a state. He was snatched away in such a tone in public, which also made him, a cold-faced general, unable to come to Taiwan. "Every man is responsible for defending the territory and defending the enemy, and he said it well! I just want to be frank, if Mr. Zheng is willing to go down the city, he is afraid that he will make greater contributions to defending the city."
"What do you mean?" After hearing this, Tang Li suddenly stood up.
"These people are well-trained. Although there are only more than twenty people, if they are properly dispatched, their combat power will not be inferior to a crossbow team! The key to defending the city is to crossbows first. At this time, there is no need to say much about the preciousness of these people." Li Guangbi looked around Tang Guang and others with a glance, and turned to Tang Li with a little blue face and said, "But if Master Zheng refuses to go down to the city. Your 'family' is all worried about protecting you, and his combat power can only be swayed 30%. In this way, Master Zheng understands!"
At this point, Li Guangbi did not wait for Tang Li to speak, and continued to say, "Besides. Just now, Mr. Zheng's style is fully displayed. Its significance is not only to repel an attack, but also to greatly dampen the morale of the Tubo people. Otherwise, in the end, the Tuzanlangri would not be like this!" At this point, Li Guangbi's face also showed a rare smile, "Through the mouths of these civilians, the heroic behavior of the young master will be able to spread throughout Lingzhou City within half a day, and the children of aristocratic families will join the army. And they will kill dozens of enemies in one battle without any damage. These are at the top of the city
It’s okay to have soldiers, but it has a great inspiring effect for the people in Lingzhou City. The Tubo army came in this battle to defend the city. If the city wants to be defended in the end, it would be unhealthy to rely on these thousands of soldiers alone. The foundation is still on the more than 100,000 people in Lingzhou. Heroes are also needed. Therefore, at present, the safety of the young master is no longer a personal matter! Next time, the Tubo people will definitely want to eliminate you first and then be quick. The soldiers are in danger. If the young master is really unpredictable, the morale of Tubo will be greatly shocked and our morale will be greatly depressed. If this is true, even if the young master dies, it will have many harmed the country!"
As one of the two famous generals of the revival of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to having the same Zhuo Hui eyes in identifying people. In terms of war, unlike Guo Ziyi leading troops to conquer the territory, Li Guangbi was known for his good defense, especially the "Heyang Battle" in the late Anshi Rebellion. He even used thousands of soldiers to resist the half-month attack of tens of thousands of soldiers without losing it, and finally supported the reinforcements to fight back against the reactionary counterattack. It can be called the defense in the history of the three thousand years of dynasty.
One of the most classic examples of war is that it was this battle that established the irreversible defeat of the Anshi rebels in the military. Today, although Li Guangbi's military command is not as mature as in the later period, this passage of words alone can tell its extraordinaryness. After all, for the generals of the same era, there are not many such people who can attach so much importance to the power of the people and take the initiative to use "heroes" to engage in psychological warfare against both sides at the same time.
After the first battle, Tang Li was in a state of discomfort for a while, but he was not ignorant after all. Although Li Guangbi's words were not polite, Tang Li could not refuse. Under such a severe situation of defending the city, how could Tang Li refuse? But although he agreed, he was still depressed and his face was absolutely fine.
Seeing that Tang Li was obviously unwilling to do so, but he could put the overall situation first and not be obsessed with the struggle between intention and spirit, his decision was simply decisive. In addition, his previous performances, he could do this as young as the one in the weak. Li Guangbi looked at Zheng Li, the suddenly coming from Xingyang. After carefully looking at Tang Li again, Li Guangbi, who was moved, spoke up and suggested: "The so-called troops and horses have not moved, and food and grass have come first. Although our army is guarding the city now, the same reason is the same. However, now Liu Jun is ill and the management of a certain city tower is really too difficult. If Mr. Zheng can assist the envoy to handle the logistics and make it use of the city guards, his achievements are far better than killing a few more barbarians here." For some reason, when Li Guangbi talked about Liu Jun, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
No matter what he usually does, Tang Li is indeed an absolute patriot in his heart. With his passionate age and such a special environment on the battlefield, he heard that it is beneficial to defending the city, so he agreed to Li Guangbi's proposal without thinking.
He patted Tang Guang and others' arms one by one, and Tang Li came straight to Lingzhou Prefecture with only two remaining guards and the officer who was the director.
Walking on the road. After listening to the introduction of the record officer, Tang Li learned that this Liu Envoy of Lingzhou was actually a Jinshi. After passing the Ministry of Personnel's Examination, he was put down and went from the county magistrate to the county magistrate in the east of Jiangnan. Then he went to the deputy position of the state and the second place of the state, and it was smooth sailing. However, after he reached the position of the other rank, his official career was almost impossible to make progress. He sent away three governors for three consecutive terms, and saw that he was old year after year and had no hope of promotion. Liu Envoy made a ruthless man and simply reported to the Ministry of Personnel.
After arbitrage, he came to the four battles of the border prefectures that no one wanted to be the envoy. At least he had entered the 5th rank official's promotion barrier. After he thought, after a hard work for two years, he would go to Beijing or be transferred to various officials in the Central Plains to serve as officials. It was a different atmosphere, and it was always better than the original warm water. This plan was correct, but this person's luck was too bad. Not long after he arrived in Lingzhou, the stool on the main seat of the government office was not hot, and the hungry Tubo people rushed over.
Poor Envoy Liu was born in Jiangnan and grew up in Jiangnan. After becoming an official, he was still in Jiangnan where the mountains and rivers were soft. He had seen such murderous scenes like a forest of swords and guns? After hearing the news, he went up the city tower tremblingly, looking at the Tubo barbarians with red faces and black faces, as if they were about to choose people to eat them. He was already dizzy first, and then he heard that the Tubo people actually came to a total of 60,000 troops. The state had less than 6,000 troops, and was dizzy at the moment. After returning to the mansion, he fell down. It was hard to see the matter, let alone support the war.
"If it is only provided by the army, our state army will be able to deal with it. However, the war requires a lot of materials, and the branches and vines involve the people of Hecheng. These civil affairs are extremely complicated and complicated, which makes Lord Jun fall sick immediately. The war is urgent. Our state army cannot draw enough people to help provide support, and there are no one in the border town and small county.
If the military and horse envoys were not worried about this in the past two days, it would have been a mess. But this is not a good way." Speaking of this, the director who was riding on the horse was simply bowing to Tang Li. "Now there is no way, so the military and horse envoys would entrust the matter to the young master! If the young master can take on this matter and support the matter to the end of defending the city, then the whole people of Lingzhou will be grateful to you!"
"It's all for the country, and Lu's army does not need to be like this!" He had no time to worry about the suspicion of his ability in Lu's army's words. After hearing this, Tang Li realized that the complexity of this task was beyond his imagination. Facing the Tubo soldiers of the Tiger and Wolf Army ten times that of him, it was important to fight against the city defenders with few enemies and more, but if there is no sufficient logistics supply, it would be just empty talk to defend Lingzhou. The war is a logistical battle. This sentence is absolutely correct for the current situation. The quality of his errands is even directly related to how many days can Lingzhou be defended and whether he can finally defend it.
When you meet strong, you will be strong. This is the nature that Tang Li, who looks handsome, has been born in his bones. After breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly waved his whip and urged his horse to rush straight to the government office. Since the top scholar in high school, Tang Li has never been so thoughtful and urgent about official affairs as he is now.
In the early winter of the north, the fierce cold wind whistled, urging the horse to run wildly. Tang Li's white shirt rose in the wind, and trembled violently. The plum blossom stained with blood on his chest seemed to be alive. The colder the sky, the faster the wind, and the more prosperous it bloomed...

ps: Yesterday, a book friend asked what kind of "long roar" is, Ye Zi will explain it here! The so-called long roar of the ancients is actually just shouting with a strong breath, or roaring. The comparison is a lung capacity. Like us modern people, the ancients often used this to ejaculate when they are in a special mood. It is not deliberately showing off or playing with some mysterious things. In terms of this novel, if the chapter was written like this yesterday, I don’t know what you think:
A "clang" sounded, and Tang Li, who was flirting with black clothes, had a fierce and depressing howl, and Feng Yi rushed towards the police station of Jinluo with a beautiful look.
Squirt, I know you have to spray it out, ^_^!
Chapter completed!
