Martial Sage

The next day.

Xiangcheng.

The Datang sergeant who fought all night did not care about the exhaustion of repairing this city wall, and the other side of the horizon was where the Turkic camp was located.

Standing at the top of the city, Li Wanqing stared at the white belly of the eastern fish, and then looked back at the wounded soldiers and the houses burned out by the flames. He couldn't help but feel sad.

Last night, the Turkic soldiers attacked at night. Although the casualties were heavy, Li Wanqing knew in her heart that if the Turks attacked, Xiangcheng would definitely be unsafe.

At this time, the Datang army was not much better. The original five thousand soldiers lost more than half of them overnight.

Now only two thousand people can participate in the war.

The Turkic soldiers retreated inexplicably, but they cast a shadow on Li Wanqing's heart.

It is not that they are afraid, but that they have better strategies.

"Lieutenant Li, we can't fight, let's escape."

A young man's voice sounded behind him.

Hearing that, Li Wanqing's originally cold jade surface was a little bit colder, and she couldn't help turning her head.

At the sight, the people of Xiangcheng had gathered at the bottom of the city without knowing when.

A fat-eared man looked panicked and looked at himself with begging eyes.

Li Wanqing recognized this person as the richest man in Xiangcheng. The last time this person traveled around the famous Sichuan and Dashan Mountains, he happened to escape the war, but this time he was greedy for the harvest of that season and got involved in the war.

The catastrophe is imminent and fly separately!

This person did show this point vividly, but there is nothing wrong with it, after all, these are the people of the city. The disaster is coming, and they have the freedom of choice.

Li Wanqing glanced at this person and said sternly.

"Dear fathers and villagers, now the Turkic soldiers are right in front of you, how long Xiangcheng can hold on is still unknown."

"If you want to go, I won't stop, please do it yourself."

Hearing this, the man nodded and bowed cupped fist like an amnesty.

"coward!"

A voice of disdain came from the crowd. A thin young man in his early twenties walked out of the crowd slowly. After looking at the man contemptuously, he turned to look at Li Wanqing, cupped fist said.

"Li Xiaowei, as the saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Chen, I am willing to join Li Xiaowei to defend our hometown to the death!"

With these impassioned words, many people responded instantly.

"Yes! We are willing to be like Xiaowei Li! Defend the territory of Datang!"

"Death to guard Xiangcheng, even if the city is broken, I will never surrender!"

"Fight against the Turkic barbarians."

All of a sudden, the sentiment was exciting, and Datang's male pride was ignited at this moment, and many people agreed.

The richest man saw something wrong and slipped out of the crowd dingy.

At this moment, for some reason, the corners of Li Wanqing's eyes were wet.

In the face of disaster, the people in these cities can stand on the front line with themselves and fend off the enemy together, which is the pride of a general defending the city.

But in other words, these people have no combat experience, and now they don’t have any weapons to take advantage of.

Li Wanqing said with tears in her eyes, slightly excited.

"Fathers and folks, I take your wishes, but defending the border and defending the country is the duty of a soldier, and you don't have to make unnecessary sacrifices."

Having said this, Li Wanqing looked sad, paused, sighed slowly, and said.

"To tell you the truth, this battle is so fierce, but please think twice. If you can evacuate, you should evacuate earlier."

These words seemed to consume a lot of energy. After speaking, Li Wanqing put her hands on the wall, a trace of sadness appeared on her face, and she quietly looked at the people under the city.

There was silence down the city.

At this juncture of life and death, everyone is in danger!

Suddenly.

An old man slowly raised his head, walked forward tremblingly, and said leisurely.

"Li Xiaowei's words are not bad, but they can't hide past the first day of the first day of the junior high school, and can't hide from the fifteenth day, and the Turks will not be destroyed. How can we say that this small border town can be peaceful!"

"At such a critical juncture, why don't everyone work together to do something meaningful for our own family and this country?"

As soon as this statement was made, everyone responded immediately.

"I'll help Xiaowei Li repair the city."

"I am a carpenter and can repair the tower."

Seeing these people in Xiangcheng take out their homes, move soil blocks, and carry bricks and stones, Li Wanqing couldn't stop the tears in his eyes and drank it solemnly.

"I, Li Wanqing, pay tribute to the people of Xiangcheng on behalf of the Datang Sergeant!"

Having said that, Li Wanqing stood on top of the city and bowed deeply to the busy people below.

At this moment, the soldiers who guarded the city behind them also stood upright and bowed to these people.

In an instant, Xiangcheng, which was covered with a layer of dead ashes, became lively again.

With the participation of these Xiangcheng people, the work of repairing the city walls, consigning the corpses of the dead, and collecting arrow feathers has progressed quite quickly.

However, unexpectedly, until dusk, for some reason, the Turkic soldier in the distance did not attack at all.

The people in the city were puzzled by this news, and most of the soldiers were puzzled, but Li Wanqing knew it in mind.

Li Wanqing knew that it was not the Turkic people who gave them a chance to replenish their energy, but that the Turkic people were waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity to win Xiangcheng in one fell swoop.

Maybe tomorrow, a more fierce war will break out in this city!
