Martial Sage

Outside the city walls.

On the city wall that stretched for more than ten miles, densely packed like ants, Turkic soldiers crazily climbed up the ladder.

More ladders in the rear leaned up.

Arrows and fire spears fired back and forth.

"The barbarian has come to the city!"

After three hours of fierce battle, someone finally called out.

Someone also turned around in this fight and shouted.

"General Zhang, there are barbarians coming up there too! The archer commander Li Xiaowei is also dead, Zhang..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

A Liuya who didn't know where it came from was in the middle of this man's helmet. The figure was shocked, blood was squeezed out of his eye sockets, and he fell slowly.

Li Jing looked at the felt-hat head gradually emerging from the top of the city, and shouted.

"Let's put the wood!"

The soldiers who had guarded their companions with shields behind them simply lost their shields, and several people picked up the wood and pushed it down.

In an instant, several figures screamed and fell from mid-air, and under the pressure of the wood, they fell into a pool of flesh and blood, which was not human.

However, this tide-like offensive did not stop. The undaunted Turkic soldiers once again set up the ladder and climbed up frantically. The desperate posture was enough to scare the soldiers who defended the city.

The fierce siege continued.

Arrows kept flying over the top of the head, rolling logs and rocks falling like raindrops, occasionally mixed with ignited boiling oil, and the stinking golden juice of that Safa poured down.

Heartbreaking screams spread from outside the city.

The fierce and turbulent shouts and the sound of fighting, mixed in this brilliant sky, spread the entire city wall.

The fierce siege war continued until it was close to dusk before it slowly stopped.

Although Li Jing has experienced many battles, he has never experienced such a fierce and cruel siege.

Standing at the head of the city, Li Jing looked around.

The towering and sturdy city of Deyang now has several shockingly huge cracks.

The siege battle in the daytime rushed like a colony of ants, and the image of climbing the city wall lingered in my mind.

With his fingers supporting the wall stack with sticky blood stains, Li Jing glanced over the wall with half of the soldiers, and felt bitter in his heart.

Today the city is held, what about tomorrow?

Soldiers of the armed forces, more than half of the casualties.

Tomorrow, who will guard this city?

The veteran Chai Shao stood quietly behind Li Jing, looking at the thick smoke of the city and the blood stains on the wall, and he didn't know how to continue for a while.

After a long silence, Chai Shao said slowly.

"Marshal, why not take a step back. After all, there are too many Turks. Tomorrow..."

Halfway through, Chai Shao didn't say any more.

Everyone can think of the final outcome of defending the city.

Li Jing looked at the red setting sun and said slowly.

"This is the mountains and rivers of Datang, and you definitely can't take a step back."

After that, Li Jing waved his hand slowly and said.

"Let those young generals return to Chang'an."

"But now is the time for the lack of generals, and now the war is imminent..."

The other general was about to say something, but was interrupted by Li Jing.

"No, but, it is precisely because it is now when employing people that we must not let these Datang hopes be buried in Deyang."

As he spoke, Li Jing's eyes sharpened and said slowly.

"Datang is now full of enemies on all sides, and the East Turkistan battle will be divided into victory and defeat, and life and death will be determined!"

"Let us old guys fight this last battle!"

Silence...

The head of the city was deadly silent.

Everyone understood the meaning of Li Jing's words.

Datang Mountains and Rivers!

Every inch of land must be contended!

The veteran Chai Shao Yigan had a little more respect for this tough veteran at this time.

"The final general is willing to live and die with the coach, and live and die with the city!"

"The final general is also willing to slaughter the Turkic barbarians with the coach, and protect me in the great Tang Dynasty!"

A bunch of veterans bowed and cupped fist, with certainty in their words.

After figuring it out, these late veterans had no worries, and a feeling of seeing death as home could not help rise in their hearts.

Li Jing looked at these veterans, squeezed a smile, faintly sour in his eyes, stepped forward and patted Chai Shao on the shoulder, and his gaze flicked across the faces of the veterans one by one.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"I, Li Jing, can fight side by side with you veterans at the last moment, and it will not be a waste of life!"

After all, Li Jing said with a big smile.

"Come on! Live and die together! Have a great battle with that barbarian!"

While speaking, Li Jing stretched out his palm.

In a moment, dozens of double fighters piled up together and said in a deep voice.

"Life and death together!"

For some reason, Li Jing slept exceptionally this night.

The people in the city have been evacuated quite a bit overnight under the name of the own army.

Early the next morning.

Li Jing sorted out his own clothes, glanced at the family members left on the long case, paused for a second, and resolutely walked out.

On the school field, Li Jing stood on the stage with a solemn expression.

The schoolyard, which was originally bustling, is now relatively sparse.

Looking at the young faces, Li Jing shouted.

"The armed forces are in charge!"

"Who have old parents in the family!"

With an order, someone slowly stood up from the pawn.

"The only child in the family, get out!"

Some soldiers slowly stepped out of the barracks with suspicious faces.

"Whoever has a wife and children! Get out!"

Someone came out of the queue again.

Li Jing looked at these young soldiers, his face suddenly became serious, and said loudly.

"Everyone who goes out defends the city! The other children mount up and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"

Hearing this, the disciples who were out of the queue understood instantly, and they all knelt on the ground.

Someone questioned.

"General! When I was in the army, I was under the general's command. How many battles were shared for honor and disgrace. Why can't I live and die at this moment?"

"Yes! I am willing to follow the general to the death!"

"Wish to live and die with the general and follow the general to the death."

Li Jing's face suddenly became gloomy, and he shouted.

"Those who ignore the military order will be killed right there!"

After all, the scarlet cloak was unfolded, the horse's head was turned, and he shouted.

"Follow me out of the city to meet the enemy."
