Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye looked into the eyes of the two, and said word for word: "Since we can't hold on, we should just wait for the city to be broken, why not make sufficient preparations and not let them in to fight!"

"Put it in and fight?"

The two raised doubts in unison, and Guo Ye could clearly find that the pupils of the two dilated instantly, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

Guo Ye nodded and said: "That's right, just open the east gate and let them in to fight!"

"No, no, no." Kang Bao shook his head repeatedly and shouted, "My lord, it's nothing more than hand-to-hand combat in close combat, but this method is too risky."

Pang Feihu also nodded and sighed: "Yes, now the enemy is outnumbered. Although the Duochiluo army failed to attack the city for two consecutive days, there are still a total of [-] people. As for us, there are only more than [-] Xichuan Army. As for the Qingmiao Army, it’s okay to help defend the city to throw stones and roll logs for us, but if you expect them to start a close combat with the Tubo army, I think it’s better to forget it.”

Obviously, Pang Feihu and Kang Bao held a negative attitude towards Guo Ye's method of retreating the enemy.In their eyes, where is this a strategy to retreat from the enemy?It's just boring to kill yourself.

Guo Ye smiled wryly and said, "You two, even if we don't open the east gate and let them in to fight, do you think we have other ways to survive? Instead of sitting and waiting for someone to break through the east gate, it's better to make full preparations in advance. Fight them for the last battle. Maybe you can take advantage of the convenience in the city and kill a few more Tubo dogs."

There was a little helplessness and sadness in the words, but also full of determination.

After hearing this, Pang Feihu and Kang Bao felt Guo Ye's complicated emotions at this moment, lowered their heads one after another, and began to ponder and weigh in secret.

After about a while, I saw Kang Bao spat hard again, cursing and saying: "Damn it, it's a dead end no matter what, it's better to fight vigorously than to die in a wimpy way. Damn it, it's done!"

Pang Feihu also nodded heavily, and replied: "Just listen to your lord, let it in and fight, and fight hard for the last battle!"

Seeing that both of them readily agreed, Tong Hu, who was behind Guo Ye, cheered joyfully: "A person is dead, and will not die for thousands of years. I, Tong Hu, are the first to agree!"

"Good! Good brother!"

Guo Ye patted Tong Hu's shoulder heavily, turned his head and praised Pang and Kang, "All the brothers and I met in Longxi, and now we are able to die together in Golmud City. This is a great fate. After this battle, As long as we are lucky enough to survive, I, Guo Ye, would like to share the glory and wealth with all my brothers!"

"We all follow the lead of the adults!"

The three of them clasped their hands together and let out another loud cry.

Guo Ye said seriously: "Let me tell you about my plan first. First of all, after giving up the east gate and opening the city gate, I will arrange three lines of defense between the east gate and the guard's mansion. The first line of defense, I will Arrange [-] young crop troops to block the attack, and Tong Hu is in charge of commanding; the second line of defense is led by Pang Feihu to lead the remaining young crop troops to block the enemy. I don't want a big victory for the first two lines of defense, but I want to consume part of Dochiluo's army Strength. As for the third line of defense, it is our last lifeline, and I, Kang Bao, Ruan Laosan and others will lead our Xichuan Army to make the final stand."

After all, Guo Ye saw that the three had no objection, and continued to order: "All the grain and grass in the city will be transferred to the third line of defense. We must not let the Duochiluo army get a single grain."

"Tong Hu, Fei Hu, when you two see something wrong, you must withdraw from the formation as soon as possible, and you can't throw your life in front of it in vain. Save your useful body to help me defend the third line of defense."

"Probably it is such a plan, do you have any objections?"

The three clasped their fists together again and shouted in unison: "Follow your lord's order!"

At this time, everyone puts life and death aside without any hesitation.

Guo Ye nodded, and immediately waved his hands to urge him: "Okay, pass it on now, the whole army evacuated the east gate tower, and opened the city gate wide open. Tell brothers, we will have a good time with Tubo this time." It's the last battle for anyone, don't be a coward with me and be that eggless coward!"

"Here!!"

After agreeing with one voice, Kang Bao and Tong Hu hurriedly turned around and left.

Only Pang Feihu did not leave, but reminded rather hesitantly: "My lord, Zhenniang is a girl, if we lose this battle, I'm afraid... Alas, if I had known that there would be today's results, I would have known that Er Niu's reinforcements have gone so far." If there is no news, she should have been forcibly sent out of Golmud in the first place. At least she will not be implicated by us!"

After Guo Ye heard the words, his shoulders obviously trembled slightly, but it was fleeting, and he sighed softly to cover it up.

Then he said: "You don't have to worry about Zhenniang. She has her own arrangements. And this is her last request. I respect her choice!"

"Oh……"

Although Guo Ye's words were somewhat ambiguous, Pang Feihu still had a slight premonition that something was wrong.

Guo Ye urged again: "Old Pang, don't think about other things now, it's useless to think too much. It's better to calm down and concentrate on dealing with the incoming Tubo army. Go, remember my words, security is useful Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. We brothers still have a lot of life ahead."

Pang Feihu responded with a wry smile. At this juncture, he could only regard Guo Ye's optimistic words as the last encouragement.

Then Wei Wei cupped her hands and said no more, turned around and hurried away.

As soon as Pang Feihu left, Guo Ye subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the general's mansion, and sighed secretly in his heart, "Zhen Niang, why did you come here?"I, Guo Ye, am sorry for you, I shouldn't have taken you into danger!Don't worry, as long as we pass the current hurdle and return to Chang'an, it will be the time when your Zhenniang achieves the true fruit of cultivation.

Guo Ye sighed secretly, staring blankly at the direction of the general's mansion, his whole mind gradually became heavy...

The guard's mansion, in the bedroom.

In the room with the doors and windows closed, there was no noise from outside the guard's mansion, and it was eerily quiet.

After Zhenniang changed into a clean dress in the room, she looked extraordinarily gorgeous.

At this time, she was sitting alone on the dressing table, combing her shoulders full of black hair in front of the bronze mirror, and her expression was full of peace and harmony.

After combing, she carefully put the wooden comb back into the makeup box, then stood up slowly and turned her head to look at the closed window, her soft and firm eyes seemed to see through the window, she stood there for a long time without moving.

In the end, she seemed to be talking to herself, and as if to cheer herself up, she whispered softly: "Master, you once said that the best destination for a general is on the battlefield. For Zhenniang, the best destination is It’s for the high officials to observe the festival. Don’t worry, the high officials, once the Tubo people break through the defender’s mansion, it will be the time for Zhenniang to die for you.”

After all, the soft and weak Zhen Niang seemed to be full of pride, picked up a ten feet of white silk from the table, walked to a beam in the room, and threw it upward...

One zhang of white silk, as pale as snow, was hung on both sides of the beam.Zhenniang moved a wooden stool, stood on it and tied the knot seriously.

Then, standing on the beard stool with Bai Ling in his hand, he quietly listened to the slightest sound outside, for fear that he might miss half of what he heard.

She is waiting!

Time passed by, the dusk was completely covered by the night, and the sky dimmed.

An hour later, the three lines of defense in the city continued to be deployed in full swing.

And in the Tubo military camp five miles outside the city, Duochiluo was not idle, and was humbly asking the national teacher Jiumozhi for advice on the next step.

He knew very well in his heart that when the war was at this level, he had no choice but to retreat.

miso miso ~~

A burst of hasty footsteps interrupted his conversation with Jiumozhi, only to hear a Tubo spy outside the wooden shed rushing into the wooden shed without even saying hello.

As soon as they entered the wooden shed, the Tubo spies stopped abruptly, and shouted excitedly, "My lord, my lord, we have food this time. Haha, Tang Jun himself actually opened the east gate of Golmud City. We also removed the defenses around the east gate."

"Huh? How could this be?"

Before Duochiluo had time to be happy, he heard the national teacher Jiumozhi first utter an exclamation of doubt.

Chapter 599 Jiumozhi's Disappointment

Duochiluo was excited when he heard the news, but he heard the sigh of the national teacher Jiumozhi, and couldn't help asking: "National teacher, what's the matter? Could it be that you suspect that there is fraud in the Tang army's opening of the city gate?"

Jiumozhi nodded slightly, and replied: "My lord, I have this doubt. Think about it, we attacked the east gate twice in a row, and the Tang army resisted tenaciously and suffered heavy losses. However, you can see that they retreated half a step. ?”

Speaking of this, Jiumozhi confirmed his suspicion even more, and continued: "My lord, if the monk's guess is correct, the Tang army should be planning to put us into the city because they are about to run out of defense equipment such as huge stones, logs and arrows. , Fight us to the last battle!"

Duo Chiluo nodded again and again, and praised: "What the national teacher said is true, and this king also thinks so. The Tang army defending the city is already at the end of its strength, so it will abandon the strategy of opening the east gate. That being the case, why is the national teacher so worried? It saves us the trouble of attacking the gate and climbing the city. When the city gates are opened, the cheap money pours into the city, how about killing him without leaving any behind?"
