I give the princess a sip

In fact, there is no beautiful scenery outside the city of Taiyuan, but the red land was stained with blood.The sky is also gray, very dull and depressing.

Gu Lian had never been to Taiyuan City in peacetime, so I don't know if it was like this from the beginning, or it was changed into this by the war.

I still remember that when the Spike Army attacked, they guarded the isolated city at night. They came from the direction of Cangyun and launched an overwhelming attack on the outer city of Taiyuan, the first fortress.The remaining Cangyun army retreated to Taiyuan, and Changgemen organized disciples from thousands of miles to come to Taiyuan to support Cangyun.

The layout of Taiyuan City is different from that of ordinary cities, it is not that the outer city surrounds the inner city.The outer city is relatively small, in front of it, there is a big river in the middle, and a bridge is erected on it to connect the inner city. The inner city is at least several times the size of the outer city.

Now that the Spike Army is attacking from the hinterland, the inner city is the first to bear the brunt.Naturally, the inner city does not have the same consideration as the outer city, so it is a bit difficult to resist.

It is not allowed to use the side gate as the gate of the main battlefield. The wall here is damaged. Although it is repaired in time, it can only be repaired in a short time.Not to mention being too far away from the enemy, outside the outer city is Yanmen Pass, which is next to the pass.Fortunately, it was a military city at this time, and the city walls were there, so it was not so easy to fight.

When the Spike Army attacked, the biggest resistance they encountered was Yanmen Pass, Taiyuan City, and Tiance Mansion. Other places were invincible, and many cities simply opened their doors and surrendered.Outsiders only know that the Spike Army entered the Tiance Mansion on the 28th, but they don't know that most of the time before the 28th was blocked by the first two checkpoints except for rushing.

It seems very short, but it is actually not easy.After all, the disadvantage of numbers is too great, especially during the bloody battle against Tiance, the Tiance Mansion really doesn't have many disciples.

Standing on the top of the city tower, Gu Lian looked into the distance, and saw that the endless wheat fields outside Taiyuan City in the past were covered by densely packed Spike Army.The people outside the city were displaced and did not know where to escape the chaos.After so many years of war, there is no production at all in many places, and most of the refugees died of starvation and disease. Even if the war subsides, there may be famine.

General Qin heaved a long sigh: "We must end the war as soon as possible."

If it is delayed for one more year, a group of people will die.If the Spike Army can be wiped out or driven out of the customs this year, then the common people may be able to start farming and weaving again next year.With new food, they won't just sit and eat, not to mention that they might already be empty now.

"Miss Gu, can you handle it?" Zhu Jianqiu frowned slightly.

Gu Lian nodded: "If you are not sure, you have to be sure. Don't worry, poisoning and manipulating Gu is my profession, and nothing will go wrong."

"you alone......"

"One person is enough." If there are too many people, it will be easy to be exposed, and it will scare the snake away.

Zhu Jianqiu pondered for a while: "Alright."

Normally, this military advisor would not be separated from Commander Tiance. Now that the commander was protecting Emperor Xuanzong, he was sent to support Taiyuan, which shows that he attaches great importance to the battlefield here.Although some people who were afraid of death kept clamoring for Taiyuan to give up resistance and let the Spike Army go out, so that the war could end early, but General Qin and Zhu Jianqiu refused under pressure.

We cannot let the tiger go back to the mountain, otherwise we will make a comeback and go through another war.

"Then I'll go, you guys be careful." Gu Lian was wearing a dusty outfit today, very inconspicuous.She nodded to everyone and disappeared on the tower.

The subsequent development went smoothly beyond Gu Lian's imagination, with poison and Gu, threats and lures, and there was no problem.As if there was a god blessing, Gu Lian felt that he had hit a big luck.

After thinking about it for a while, she knew what was going on, and she probably really was blessed by the "God".

But this god is the mastermind of this game, Li Tang.

It is estimated that the game will release a new expansion piece, and the Anshi Rebellion will gradually end, so Li Tang helped Tang Jun.

The mastermind can affect the development of the world, especially the direction of major events.Generally, it will delegate power to players and NPCs, but if it intervenes, it is absolutely irreversible.

Li Tang's name is Li Tang anyway, so naturally he won't help the Spike Army win, so the final winner will only be the Li Tang Dynasty.And the next emperor it chooses is probably King Jianning.

In the evening, Gu Lian rushed back in a hurry.All the dark lines have been laid out, just waiting for these gangsters to turn against the water when the war starts tomorrow.

Gu Lian spent the whole day, so it's not just that he threatened a few people with some Gu.Some people are not afraid of death, so poisoning them is useless.Either use Gu to control them, or poison them to interfere with their minds.Gu Lian needs to observe before deciding which method to use.

Fortunately, everything went well and nothing happened.

On the second day, the Taiyuan defenders took the initiative to select, which attracted the Spike Army to send troops to attack.

Standing on the city tower and playing with throwing things feels extremely refreshing. What hot oil and hot water, stone tree trunks, anyway, can't burn people until they scream, but they can also scream.There is a big river next to Taiyuan, so it is very convenient to get water.

There are also feathered arrows shooting down from the city, and ladders and the like have no effect. It is almost a pile of life to see who can consume more.

The Spike Army was still calm. Their only pity was that the terrain here was not too flat, it was all terraced fields, and the siege tanks couldn't drive it.

Until the Spike Army got impatient, they finally sacrificed the murderers and let them take action.

This group of people is not like the ordinary Spike Army who doesn't know martial arts but only knows brute force, they know light work.He can dodge the volley with his quick body, but once he enters Taiyuan City, it will be terrible.

Gu Lian sat on the top of the tower, waiting for them.

This group of people just flew into the sky with ease, when they saw Gu Lian on the top of the building, they trembled and almost fell down.

I saw Gu Lian smiled slightly, hooked her fingers, and all of a sudden, all the intoxication broke out.Gu Lian spilled another pile of medicinal powder, which induced the toxins in the rest of the body.

Now, all the murderers are out of control.They fell and landed in the crowd of Spike Army.

Need to say more?Naturally, it is not necessary, so it is directly killed.

These poisons will make them kill anyone they see, regardless of whether they are enemies or friends.However, they will not take the initiative to fly elsewhere unless they kill everyone around them.

Gu Lian sat on the roof and watched quietly without worrying at all.

If you want to kill everyone around you, then the murderers will end up killing each other.When there is only one left, he is no longer justified. Even if Tang Jun is targeted, he can easily solve it.

Gu Lian felt bored and yawned, thinking about what to have for dinner.

At sunset, all the criminals died, but they also dealt a huge blow to the Spike Army.Not to mention the number of ordinary Spikes who died, the most unfortunate thing is that a group of masters who suppressed in the past also died.Compared with a group of masters in the Tang Army, the Spike Army felt that its chances of winning were getting smaller and smaller.

What's the point of dying when the general situation is gone?

Gu Lian returned to her house and found a little white pigeon had been waiting for a long time.She smiled, dove the head silently, and took the note from its leg.

It was Qiao Mingyu who left it for her. Qiao Mingyu probably didn't find out where Gu Lian was all day long, but she had no time to go back to the house, so she had to write a note for the pigeon to bring back. Gu Lian will be able to see it when she comes back. .

There was nothing written on the note, it just explained some strategic deployments of General Qin and Zhu Jianqiu.The code words of Tian Xichao were used, other people would definitely not be able to understand them.

Gu Lian burned it after reading it. Qiao Mingyu probably won't be able to come back for a while, so she went to have dinner and rest by herself, and didn't wait for her on purpose.

Lie in bed, but can't sleep.

Gu Lian tossed and turned, thought for a while, and got up, got dressed, and went to find Qiao Mingyu.

It was late at night, and the fighting stopped for a while, but the generals couldn't sleep.They gathered in the hall in the center of the city to discuss the next battle plan.

Gu Lian's arrival did not attract everyone's attention. They took a look at the visitor and then turned back to discuss, not caring about this unexpected visitor.

"How's the discussion going?" Gu Lian pulled Qiao Mingyu to the corner and asked in a low voice.

Qiao Mingyu touched her face distressedly, always felt that Gu Lian hadn't slept well during this time, and her complexion was much uglier.In fact, Gu Lian slept very well, she has long been used to the Anshi Rebellion, and has become a strong woman who can rest easy even in a precarious small camp.

Taiyuan is much safer than the small town she guarded at the beginning, so she has no reason to sleep well.

"General Qin is going to take advantage of the victory to pursue."

Gu Lian was stunned: "Has he contacted General Cao?"

Qin Yiyan is not a brat, and it is impossible to rashly decide to take the initiative because of a little advantage.Since he dared to make such a decision, he was sure to win, or had allies.

Where are the allies?Naturally, it was Tiance Mansion.

The Spike Army has shrunk its battle lines these days, no longer spread out in this large area, but concentrated outside Taiyuan City.

They put the frontal battlefield here, so don't blame Cao Xueyang for leading the army to kick their ass in the rear.

Gu Lian suddenly looked forward to the battle between the two sides tomorrow.

After fighting alone for a long time, it is not easy to have a reinforcement.You must know that everyone on the various fronts of the Anshi Rebellion was basically overwhelmed, let alone supporting other cities, it would be good if they could defend themselves.Generally, there are only a few leaders of Haoqi and Wicked people who lead a few teams to support, but they support all important cities and fortresses, and they only choose the precarious past to help.

"Do you still need to keep it here?" Gu Lian asked.

Qiao Mingyu immediately understood: "That's not necessary, let's go back and rest."

If she doesn't leave, Gu Lian will definitely accompany her.Anyway, she is just a young general, and staying here won't help her much, so she might as well go to rest early.
