"Report! Urgent report!"

A slightly anxious voice came from the road ahead.

Hearing this voice, Tang Hao's heart tightened, knowing that the scout who had gone to Xiangcheng had returned.

In the blink of an eye, a scout riding a horse galloped towards him.

Tang Hao slowly stretched out his left hand, and the 20,000 soldiers behind him slowed down and slowly restrained the horse.

The scout came straight to Tang Hao, strangled the horse, and said anxiously with a nervous expression.

"General, Xiangcheng is in trouble, the Turkic soldiers attacked Xiangcheng again!"

Hearing this, Tang Hao frowned and said.

"When did the war start?"

The scout said the truth.

"At this hour, the Turkic soldiers launched an offensive against Xiangcheng again. According to a rough estimate of their subordinates, there seems to be an increase in the number of Turkic soldiers this time, and the number has more than doubled."

Double!

Hearing this, Tang Hao was shocked.

In just one day, the number of Turkic soldiers doubled.

Nearly 20,000 troops attacked Xiangcheng!

However, if the Turks really want to take down Xiangcheng, they can attack the city completely with fire. After all, it is rare to attack the city with fierce fire and oil in this era.

Come prepared and attack Xiangcheng unexpectedly. Although the damage is more serious, it can be won by fire.

But the Turkic generals did not do this, but waited for a day to lose half of the advantage they had previously captured.

Is there anything tricky in it?

Suddenly, a bad idea flashed in Tang Hao's mind.

The Turks must wait for a foolproof opportunity.

And these extra 10,000 people can transport a batch of siege equipment to make up for the lack of cavalry siege.

If only relying on the auxiliary siege equipment, such as the ladder and the siege vehicle, there is no need to wait for a day.

But if what Yun sent was a catapult, blazing fire, and rushing into the car, then Xiangcheng would be a lamb to be slaughtered!

In this way, even if there are 5,000 people stationed in this solid city, it is only a matter of time to take it down!

Thinking of this, Tang Hao's expression was extremely gloomy.

I'm afraid at this moment, even if Li Wanqing has exhausted his methods, he will not be able to resist this offensive.

In a hurry, Tang Hao raised his whip and shouted.

"The whole army transfers! No rest for a moment! Go straight to Xiangcheng!"

Tang Hao knew that this kind of running around was a big taboo for military strategists.

I'm afraid that when they arrive in Xiangcheng, most of the soldiers' physical strength is gone, which is of no benefit to a full-scale war.

But now I can't take care of that much!

If Xiangcheng is broken, those Turks will definitely vent his hatred of capturing the prince alive on the innocent people in Xiangcheng!

Massacre is bound to be inevitable.

For the tens of thousands of people in Xiangcheng, Tang Hao had to do this!

...

Xiangcheng.

After Li Wanqing gave the order for the people to flee.

Those older men cried and packed up and prepared to leave the city.

At the south gate that opened, there were occasional scenes of trembling old people seeing off with their children.

As for the young and strong citizens of Datang, it was decided to stand together with the Datang sergeants and hold on to the last moment.

Under the fierce attack of a huge boulder, the city wall was in precarious condition. It seemed to be crumbling, and it was in danger of collapsing at any time.

Li Wanqing took advantage of the intermittent boulder attack and glanced at the Turkic army.

I saw more than ten thousand Turkic soldiers standing across the river, and the rows of towering trebuchets gradually stopped their offensive.

With the cessation of the giant stone offensive, the few remaining more than five hundred Great Tang soldiers also looked down the city.

Behind the vast Turkic army, smoke was everywhere, and the siege vehicles were "creaked" by the four strong Turks.

The purpose of this attack by the Turkic army is obvious.

City gate!

The only barrier of this city, just like this is open in front of the Turkic army!

Looking at this messy city wall and the mutilated corpses everywhere, Li Wanqing understood in her heart.

At this time, there is nothing that can be used to defend the city.

The city must not stay any longer!

Li Wanqing cheered up and shouted at the helpless soldiers.

"Follow me out of the city! Face the Turkic army!"

After a few words, I still saw those soldiers, like walking corpses, without the energy of a man with blood in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Wanqing thought of this and said loudly.

"The city where you are standing is the territory of Datang! Behind you is your own homeland, which is where your wife, sons and daughters depend for survival."

"If you are still broken by this city today, then tomorrow, these barbarians will not slaughter the people of this city! It will be the wives, sons and daughters of your family!"

"You swore here a few days ago, the city is here, the city is broken, where is the oath now?"

"Instead of letting the massacre, why not take up the sword and surround the own home at the last minute?"

Facing the doomed defeat, these Datang soldiers seemed numb. It seems that the collapse of the city and the tragic massacre are their general ending.

But people's hearts are selfish in the end. When it involves their own concerns, the closed windows of these numb people finally see some light in.

Who wants his own wife and children to be prisoners?

Suddenly, some of the soldiers who had been in a trance stood up and responded to Li Wanqing's call.

"Everything is dead! As a Datang man, why do you want to die like this! I would like to follow Li Xiaowei!"

"The Shroud of Horse Leather! The battlefield! No regrets in this life!"

"Wish to follow Li Xiaowei and protect the people of Xiangcheng to evacuate safely!"

For a time, more and more soldiers stood up, took up their weapons, and stood up again.

Li Wanqing looked at these Datang men who had regained their confidence, and tears filled her eyes for a while.

Next second.

With a serious face, awe-inspiring justice, he shouted arrogantly.

"Everything the sun and the moon shine, and the rivers and rivers, are all Tang Tu."

After all, Li Wanqing held up the Tang Dao in her hand, and said every word.

"Those who violate my Tang Tianwei will be punishable even if they are far away!"

"Everyone who is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty will be saved even though they are far away!"
