Chapter 42: Death is as if you are home
Xu Tui snorted without blinking.
Gu Liubai did not talk to him anymore, but bowed to Feng Shuqing, who had no scars on his body, but had already lost his strength, then walked to the outer edge of the city gate tower, exposing his body to a place where the eyes of the Tubo people and arrows could land.
It suddenly became quieter outside the city.
Many Tubo people were looking at this side.
Many people were secretly talking about whether the weird green-eyed boy really existed.
However, at this moment, they saw a teenager watching them quietly.
A faint green light burned in the boy's eyes.
A subtle voice seemed to sound in the whimpering wind, "The good things are not useful yet, why are these people leaving?"
At this moment, the hairs of many Tubo people finally exploded.
There was a hunchbacked ghost flashing through the shadow of the city gate tower behind the boy and flew into the city.
Pei Yunqiu looked at the figure of the young man standing quietly in front of her, and then at the dense Tubo people outside the city. The unreal feeling and fatigue came together, which made her feel a little dizzy.
...
When the sun began to rise, Chen Tu looked at Gu Liubai who had just woken up, and his face was full of admiration.
This guy is really sleepier than a pig.
After the Tubo people withdrew from the city, Gu Liubai showed his face on the city wall, then found a haystack nearby and went to bed, and then slept until now.
"Are you really not afraid of the Tubo people launching a sudden raid in the middle of the night?"
"I have no choice but to launch a raid. At most, I will show them." Gu Liubai seemed to be angry and muttered, and then said: "But I don't think they won't. If their suspicion has not been violated to a certain extent, they won't withdraw all the vanguard troops. Since they have done so, their leader should have to wait until dawn before talking. I think even if there was no smoke in the city starting in the middle of the night yesterday, they would be even more afraid to attack and would doubt whether we have any new tricks."
Pei Yunqiu was also nestling in the haystack for the middle of the night. She was now wearing a leather robe and was still a little cold. She kept shaking. Her head was covered with hay and dried blood all over her body. She looked like she was beaten up by someone and had a straw sticker to sell.
She didn't fall asleep much, but her excitement made her mind very clear.
Gu Liubai said that he was gambling about his life, but in her opinion it was obviously not. This calculation was obviously tied with one link. He guessed that the other general's thoughts were also tied with one link, and he was calculating it tightly.
At night, he deliberately showed his head on the city wall, just to let someone see his green eyes so that he could sleep peacefully in the second half of the night.
"How many people are there in us? How many people have died on the other side?"
Gu Liubai kicked Xu Pu's back.
This god of killing, who scared Tubo yesterday, pulled out all the arrows on his body and was so sluggish that it seemed like a pool of real rotten meat.
After being kicked by Gu Liubai, he said weakly: "There are more than 2,000 people in the city who can fight to the death, and these Tubo dogs have died at least 4,000."
Pei Yunqi's heart sank.
Before, she felt that she was full of Tubo corpses in the east and granaries. She thought that not many people had died in the city's defenders, but in this way, the battle in the west was very fierce, and at least a thousand or hundreds of people died here.
"good."
Gu Liubai was a little satisfied.
This is the first time he has joined forces with Yinshan to fight against a strong enemy, and his record is already slightly better than he imagined.
With so many Tubo people dead, and with the generals including Mangbuzhi, they should be able to scare the leader of Tubo.
...
The three beacon towers in Heishawa City were emitting thick smoke at the same time.
Three straight pillars of smoke rushed straight into the sky.
Zanzhuo Zanpu, who was invincible outside the city, did not sleep all night.
In the morning light, looking at the sparse Tang army on the city wall, he shook the whip in his hand hard, and could no longer help but launch the order to attack again.
This time, he would remove all the depressed vanguard troops and use the army ruled by Rukun, who had been instilled with his flexibly combat ideas all night.
As we all know, ghosts from both the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo cannot appear during the day!
However, at this moment, a warning horn sound came from the Yangguan direction.
In Yangguan, a cavalry has left the pass!
"These people are not stupid at all." Seeing the movement in Yangguan, Gu Liubai breathed a sigh of relief, "It must be your Pei family."
Pei Yun looked naked, "You have been waiting for the cavalry in Yangguan to come out and die?"
Gu Liubai looked at Xu Tuibei who was humming not far away and said softly: "These people are not Xu Tuibei. They will not pursue a glorious way of death. If they judged clearly that the number of Tubo soldiers would not be strong. This cavalry would not sharpen the Tubo people enough."
Bang!
The whip swung in the cold air with anger.
The blue veins on Zanzhuo's forehead were twisting like earthworms.
He thought it through clearly. If he chose to retreat, the Heishawa would be his eternal shame!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded.
The Tubo people outside the East Gate of Heishawa saw a large number of war horses pouring out from the East Gate.
"What's next?"
Pei Yunqiu looked at the rushing horses in the distance, and then watched Gu Liubai ask several old soldiers to help Xu Tui’s armour. She couldn’t imagine what Gu Liubai would make next.
Anyway, the young talents I met in Luoyang, Chang'an and before were even worse than this bastard.
Not to mention the Tubo people who plotted against each other, I was afraid that when I saw the army siege last night, I was so scared that my crotch was wet.
As for the military tactics I usually learn, they are useless.
With such a clear distinction between strength and weakness and no natural danger to defend, the answers given by those military books are consistent, that is, breaking through the scattered areas and escaping, and how many people can survive.
"Teep them to fight another match."
Gu Liubai commanded the old soldiers to tie the armor tighter with leather strips, especially the one on the back of the spine. According to him, even if the injury is severe and the spine has a support, it will not be so easy to fall down.
Xu Tui's back was strangled to make Xuexue cry and cursed, but he didn't resist at all.
"If they take the initiative to fight, they may test it many times. The more they hit, the more they may show their timidity. But if they are attracted to fight, the confidence they have just become may be broken up by us at once. Is that true?" Pei Yunqi asked while thinking.
She has now figured out Gu Liubai's ideas.
This Tubo army has no weaknesses except suspicion.
Now every step Gu Liubai needs to target this weakness.
"Yes, this time I will fight at the East Gate, and everyone in the city will go to the East Gate. If they can't even push the avenue a few miles inside the East Gate this time, and there will be some turbulence outside, they may be desperate."
Hearing these words, the two officials from the Taishi Bureau almost cried.
They only know that the person who is with Pei Yunxi is called Gu Shiwu. The specific origin is still unknown, but this person is probably the reincarnation of the general star in the sky, and they are really likely to survive.
However, at this moment, Gu Liubai said next and poured a basin of cold water on them. "The leader of this group of Tubo people is called Zan Zhuo. He was cautious when fighting. His performance last night had confirmed this point, but I think that in order to minimize the damage, he either did not fight. If he wanted to fight, he would smash the most elite force in."
"I guess the one who smashed in this time would be the Demon-Slaying Guard he personally trained. He has always boasted to the outside world that he killed demons in the Tubo ancestral mountain with him. This is pure nonsense, but the combat power of these people is indeed not blown out."
"Tang Jun and Zan Zhuo's Demon Slaughter Guards fought twice, and the conclusion was that to kill two Demon Slaughter Guards, at least six lives would be required."
Pei Yunqi felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, "Isn't that just a loss of three for one? Isn't it just killing a demon-slaying guard and killing at least three Tang warriors?"
Gu Liubai said calmly, "According to the military's records, a single demon-slaughter guard killed five border troops. The most valuable reference is that a 20-person demon-slaughter guard team was surrounded by more than 100 Tang Dynasty border troops, but sixty of them died on our side after the attack."
Pei Yunqi almost swears, "Then how many people are there in his Demon-Slaying Guard?"
Gu Liubai said: "There are at least three thousand people. According to the news I have heard of is more than two thousand. According to Zan Zhuo's cautious attitude, he may smash half of it. I guess a thousand demon-slaying guards may smash it in."
"It feels like we can't survive either." Pei Yunqi smiled in anger, "Do you want to deal with the funeral now? Since you said they may not be interested in these war horses, should we throw the copper, iron, salt, fur, etc. in the city as much as possible into the well, and try our best to destroy it first?"
"If these things are destroyed, we will really have a chance to live." Gu Liubai looked at Pei Yunqi and smiled, "Zan Zhuo's reaction was similar to what I expected. This will cause a serious suspicion. At that time, I guess he will definitely organize a lot of people to grab things from this city first."
Pei Yun raised his eyebrows slightly: "When fighting, grab things?"
"With his ability to control the orderly," Gu Liubai smiled, "As long as he feels that the city is mysterious, he will not dare to come in. He will not dare to come in, and he will become more and more random outside. At that time, the battle situation is slightly unfavorable, and he will easily have the idea of stop loss."
The officials of the two Taishi Bureau were stunned.
They are not generals, but they are wise men.
They are very strong when they change their minds when they guess people's hearts!
Based on yesterday's battle situation, Gu Liubai's speculation at this time seemed to them, it was really high! Two or three cities were so high!
"We will smash all our strength to the East Gate and fight for life and death with their demon-slaying guards!"
The boy like a star from the sky in their eyes had already restrained his smile at this time, and his breath had completely turned into a cold murderous intent. "Chen Tu will do more tricks in the city, so that Zanzhuo Zanpu feels that there are more powerful troops in the city."
"I will make them more conspicuous in the supplies they want, so that they will focus more on snatching the fat meat, rather than on harvesting people as soon as possible. After this battle, even if we all died in battle, they will reduce their staff a lot. The more things they grab, the more these things will become a burden on their retreat."
Chapter completed!
