Chapter 48 Siege

With the drum as a command, the drum sounded and people gathered. Weapons had been distributed last night, and each person had a bow, two bags of arrows, and a knife in his hand.

The Turkic cavalry stopped at an arrow from the city wall and lined up. Li Mu looked over from a distance and saw that this group of Turkic people were about 1,200 or 30. Don’t think there were few people. Think about the playground in high school. There were about 1,500 people in ordinary high schools. Standing at a high place and looking down, the playground of the 800-meter runway was almost full. At this time, there were only 60 or 70 people on the city wall. When the people on the opposite side were neighing, many of them were about to stoop.

Li Siwen was also very nervous. He stood beside Li Mu, holding the bow in his hand tightly. Perhaps because he was too hard, his knuckles turned white. But he still tried hard to calm down, raised his hand and waved forward, recalling his father Li Ji's heroic posture, following the example, and shouted loudly: "Manxian!"

Hearing Li Siwen's shouts, the young and strong men who organized the temporary exercised their strength and pulled the bowstrings as much as possible. Not to mention whether they could shoot accurately, the posture seemed to be there. Just wait for Li Siwen to give the order, two hundred arrows would be shot out together.

"Moo..." The sound of the long sob horn sounded, and dozens of cavalry rushed out of the enemy formation, raising the scimitar in their hands, galloping outside the city wall, shouting in a rumbling manner, showing off their might. Li Siwen frowned and approached Li Mu and asked in a low voice: "Don't the Turks on the border say a few words of Guanzhong? What's going on with these guys? What are you calling in a rumbling manner? I can't understand a single word. Could it be that they are purebred and can only speak Turkic words?"

Li Mu stayed in the Turkic camp for a long time, but he had never seen what the Turkic people were like to attack the city. But he could understand what these Turkic people shouted, and explained to Li Siwen: "They are provoking, saying that we are as timid as mice, and we will only rely on the protection of the city walls to not dare to go out of the city to fight. If they dare to go out of the city, their army will not move, and they can kill us all with dozens of cavalry!"

"How dare these barbarians look down on me!" Li Siwen was furious and said, "You tell them for me that they are also relying on the large number of people. If they dare to fight one-on-one, I will dare to go out and fight them. On one side, there will be one hundred people who win or lose. Whoever regrets will not be the son of humanity!"

Li Mu glanced at him sideways and said, "Do you think they will agree?"

Li Siwen thought for a moment and shook her head.

Li Mu was so angry that his nostrils were steaming out: "That's all! This is a war, playing house? People are obviously too crowded now, so they will be so stupid that they will fight you one-on-one?"

"Then they said we are not fools either. I know I can't beat them, but I still go out of the city to fight them?"

Li Mu was too lazy to pay attention to him, thinking maybe the other party really treated you as a fool.

Li Mu took a deep breath and shouted, "I am Li Siwen, the magistrate of Dingxiangcheng County of the Tang Dynasty. Who is the one who comes? Come forward and answer!"

"Why are you pretending to be me!"

"Shut up first!"

Before he finished speaking, a white horse came out of the enemy formation. Above the white horse was a man wearing a silver mask and a blood-colored cloak. The mask was like a ghost, with a terrifying shape and terrifying look. As she came out, dozens of cavalry that had just come out returned to the formation.

"I am Princess Yicheng of the Great Sui Dynasty, Li Siwen...Mr. Li County Magistrate, I am here not to rob the city, but only for two people and one thing. If you give it to me, I will withdraw my troops immediately."

The voice was a little hoarse, so it sounded a little neutral, and it was not clear about men and women. Li Mu looked at Li Siwen and whispered: "The two people she mentioned must be Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, and the imperial seal. Have you searched Queen Xiao's body? Has the imperial seal been on her?"

Li Siwen shook her head and said, "Before getting on the carriage, I ordered someone to send me some fragrant soup to bathe. I searched all my clothes and found nothing except a few pieces of jewelry."

"Since that's the case, it means that the imperial seal is still in Dingxiang City."

Li Mu said loudly: "It turned out to be Princess Yicheng in front of her. I wonder which two people and what kind of thing it was?"

"A sixty-year-old woman, a 10-year-old child, as for that object, I have to get it myself."

Li Mu's eyes rolled and said, "This is easy to talk about. The princess can come up. I will use a hanging basket to pick up the princess into the city, and then call the whole city to come over. The princess will identify it on the spot. Not to mention two people, even ten or eight, they will be taken away by the princess. As for the items, it will be easier to deal with. What the princess likes, just take it away."

"Haha..." Princess Yicheng suddenly burst into laughter, her tone was quite playful, and said, "I think this is better. Open the city gate, I find the person I want, and after finding what I want, I guarantee that I will not be offended and withdraw immediately. What do you think?"

"I don't think it's good."

"I don't think it's good either!" Princess Yicheng said coldly: "Children Huangkou dares to pretend to be stupid and stupid in front of me, and speak cleverly. Since you already know my purpose, you should know the consequences. I advise you to hand it over quickly, otherwise the lives of Dingxiang City will be ruined today because of you!"

Speaking of this, Li Mu was too lazy to go around the corner and said bluntly: "Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao were sent to Chang'an yesterday. As for the items you mentioned, they were also taken away by them. If you want, you might as well try to chase them, maybe you can catch up."

"Hmph!" Princess Yicheng snorted coldly, turned her horse's head, and as she moved, a longer sound of horns sounded. Then, the rumbling drum sounded, and the rhythm became faster and faster. When she heard the drum sound, the human blood seemed to be about to boil.

The sound of the horn suddenly stopped, and the enemy troops rushed towards the city wall like a tide, and the battle was about to begin!

"The enemy has sieged the city! Shooting arrows! Shooting arrows!"

"Fly grab! Cut the rope quickly!"

"Someone was shot and carried down! Make up for the gap there! Quick!"

Towards the east of Mayi City is Shuo County. After two hours of travel, it will be almost noon. The convoy temporarily stopped and distributed dry food. Wang Hu was at the end of the convoy, staring at the west, staring blankly. When Li Mu left yesterday, Wang Hu had stopped him before Wang Hu could catch up, and when he wanted to chase him, he had no shadow of Li Mu. He wanted to leave but could no longer leave. As Li Mu said, he could not leave the convoy. There were Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, as well as Li Mu's family. More importantly, the news about the imperial seal mentioned by Empress Xiao, he had to send Empress Xiao safely to Chang'an.

"Brother Wang."

Bai Qiaoqiao's voice suddenly came from behind him. Wang Hu was shocked and hurriedly got up from the ground, choked on the steamed bun in his mouth, and said, "Miss Qiaoqiao is wrong?"

"I have nothing else. I want to ask, my husband, why haven't he caught up yet? Didn't you say yesterday that he would go back to get things and would catch up soon? It's almost a day. Has he gone a fork?"

"He..." Wang Hu was originally a person who could not lie. When Bai Qiaoqiao asked yesterday, he was upset and told a reason randomly. Today, Bai Qiaoqiao asked again, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
