Chapter 1538 Let the people come in
"Brother, what should we do now."
"This Hou Junji deliberately made us embarrassed."
"He drove these people to the city gate, and even if we asked us to collect them, we would not accept them." Zhou Qing stood beside Xue Rengui, with a look of worry on his face.
Zhou Qing also saw that the scene in front of him was done by Hou Junji on purpose.
The purpose is to make their Tang army lose their hearts in Shacheng.
But if they accept these people, they may be in chaos within the sand city.
But if it is not taken away, even if Shacheng is defended, the Tang army will be in trouble in Shacheng and even other cities in Goguryeo.
The situation in front of them is just a dilemma.
Hou Junji's poisonous plan is really unstoppable.
"Your Highness should not be able to get back for the time being. Now we will deal with the situation ourselves." Xue Rengui said slowly.
When Zhao Chen set out to withdraw his troops, Xue Rengui had already received the news.
Zhao Chen sent someone to tell him that his withdrawal of troops Hui would definitely send troops to stop him.
So Shacheng eventually depends on him Xue Rengui and a group of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty.
As for the current situation, Zhao Chen also wrote it in the letter, but strangely, Zhao Chen did not give Xue Rengui any solution.
Instead, let him deal with it himself.
Xue Rengui was confused, but he had no time to think too much.
"Hou Junji, it is a shame for me to betray the Tang Dynasty and leave Goguryeo."
"You forced these people to come to Shacheng today, just because you wanted me to accept them."
"Okay, I will follow your wishes."
"The person who came to open the city gate and let the people come in." Xue Rengui stood on the city tower and shouted to Hou Junji in the distance.
"Brother, should you think about it again? If Shacheng is broken..." Zhou Qing wanted to dissuade Xue Rengui.
If the Shacheng is broken, the one who is in danger will be Zhao Chen.
This is much more serious than their own death.
"Shacheng will not be broken. If Shacheng is broken, then I will die first!" Xue Rengui said in a deep voice.
"Open the door!" Xue Rengui shouted again.
The gate of Shacheng slowly opened.
When the Goguryeo people in the villages around Shacheng saw a scene in front of them, they could not see any hope at all, and now there was an incredible light mixed with it.
"The city gate is open, the city gate is open!"
"The general of the Tang Dynasty let us enter the city!"
"God, open your eyes and take a look, why is this happening!"
The people of Goguryeo shouted, showing indignation.
They would never have thought that their tribe members would use them as shields and force them to die.
The Tang army, which was originally their enemy, could even take the initiative to open the city gate in order to save them.
Some people on the city tower who helped transport the materials guarding the city were crying when they saw the scene in front of them.
"General, let us help you defend the city. These beasts on the other side treat us as human beings. Only General..." A commoner in Shacheng who transported the wood to defend the city said to Xue Rengui.
All my eyes were filled with gratitude.
The rest of the people in Shacheng around them are also like this.
"Thank you all, but we can still resist it just Hou Junji."
"The city tower is dangerous, please go down quickly!" Xue Rengui smiled and refused the request of the people of Shacheng.
It is not the time for life and death, nor does it require these ordinary people in the sand city.
"Zhou Qing, lead the army to prepare for the battle." Xue Rengui shouted to Zhou Qing next to him.
When the people in the village entered the city, they had to be wary of Hou Junji's sudden army leading to rush into the city.
Therefore, an army is also needed to go out of the city to prepare for defense.
Otherwise, if Hou Junji's army really rushed into the city, it would be a matter of time before the fall of the sand city would happen sooner or later.
"Yes!" Zhou Qing nodded and led a thousand troops to quickly rush out of the sand city.
What surprised Xue Rengui was that Hou Junji did not lead the army to charge while the people of Shacheng entered the city.
Xue Rengui couldn't help but worry about how many people were mixed with Hou Junji's people.
Zhou Qing led his army to the front, and in front of him was the Goguryeo army led by Hou Junji.
"Little kid, let Xue Rengui fight. You are no match for me!" Hou Junji said lightly.
Hou Junji was originally a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He had been on the battlefield for decades, so his kung fu was naturally not bad.
Although Zhou Qing has good skills, he is still somewhat different from Hou Junji.
But in the face of Hou Junji's contempt, Zhou Qing was also furious.
"Ha, Hou Junji, you old guy, you dare to be stubborn until you die. If His Majesty the Emperor had not given you kindness, your head would have been cut off long ago."
"I didn't expect that you would defect to the Tang Dynasty without repentance."
"Today, I led Goguryeo soldiers to attack our Tang Dynasty."
"A traitor like you who forgets your ancestors, why don't you get rid of your horse and be executed quickly!" Zhou Qing and Hou Junji roared.
Hou Junji was extremely envious, and he did not take such humiliation as Zhou Qing to heart.
"Are you sure you are coming to die?" Hou Junjie smiled faintly, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Send to death?"
"Let's see who wants his life!" Zhou Qing sneered coldly, and raised the big knife in his hand.
Hou Junji drove his horse out of the formation, holding a spear in his hand.
"Okay, I'll take you to sacrifice the flag today." Hou Junji looked cold and stern, then waved his whip and neighed the horse, and attacked Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing was not afraid either, so he raised his knife and went up to meet him.
When the two weapons collided, Zhou Qing felt the tiger's mouth numb and his hands almost couldn't even hold the knife.
On the other hand, Hou Junji looked like he was fine.
"Young man, let Xue Rengui come, you can't do it!" Hou Junji looked at Zhou Qing with a smile and said.
Zhou Qing was so humiliated by Hou Junji, and his eyes were red, and he wished he could swallow Hou Junji alive.
"Come again!" Zhou Qing roared angrily.
He raised his sword and went to Hou Junji to kill him again.
Hou Junji did not retreat, so he raised his gun and rushed towards Zhou Qing.
However, the strength of the two was indeed a huge difference. Zhou Qing slashed the spear with one knife, which made Hou Junji tremble twice.
But Hou Junji stabbed Zhou Qing's left arm with a shot.
Blood dripped along the wound, and Zhou Qing refused to look at the wound. His arrogance in his heart did not tolerate him taking a step back.
"when--"
A golden sound suddenly came from behind, and Xue Rengui had already ordered Zhou Qing to withdraw.
"Boy, Xue Rengui asked you to withdraw. You go back. I don't want to kill you, an unknown soldier." Hou Junji said with a smile.
Then he drove the horse back to his formation with a spear in his hand.
Zhou Qing returned to Shacheng with a reluctance. Xue Rengui glanced at the wound on his left arm and asked the military doctor to take him for treatment.
Xue Rengui still doesn’t understand what Hou Junji is thinking.
He could have killed Zhou Qing, but he chose to let him come back.
It is obvious that we can lead a large army to rush over while the people enter the city.
But there was no action.
For the first time, Xue Rengui felt that the enemy in front of him was so difficult.
He had no idea what Hou Junji's intention was.
"Xue Rengui, are you thinking about what I intend?" Hou Junji suddenly shouted to Xue Rengui on the city tower.
