The small border countries had never used large-scale troops to compete with the Tang Dynasty. I have never seen the elites of the Tang Dynasty.
However, after their elephant army, which they thought was invincible in the world, was dispatched, the king became even more complacent.
"No matter how strong these civilians are, what if their fighting spirit is higher? In front of my elephant, they are just beings ready to be trampled into meat pies."
It was just that the king of the foreign race was so happy that the elephants rushed forward neighing. The leader of the auspicious army took the lead. He stood on the body of a foreign soldier who had just been chopped down to the ground, picked up the spear stuck next to him, and He threw it hard at the elephant in the distance.
"They all threw their spears. I don't believe these elephants can survive under the spears."
The leader of this auspicious army has seen elephants, and there are elephants in the southwest. Although they have never thought of using elephants as war horses, when people are very hungry, they will eat anything, including an elephant. It seems to make sense. Read the book
What's more, when they were really on the road, because they lacked food and would not harm ordinary people, there was no other way. After an elephant appeared in front of them, they could only end his life tragically.
But just when the leader of the Xiangrui Army used their ideas and the way they hunted prey, turning the spears in their hands into sharp blades and constantly attacking targets in the distance, the younger brother behind him did the same. Following suit, he also picked up a sharp blade and threw it away into the distance.
But in their eyes, it should be an invincible attack, but this time there were drawbacks when facing the foreign elephant.
The leader of the auspicious army watched as the spear he threw accurately hit the foreign elephant, but the elephant did not do anything. The spear hit him as if it had hit a hard object. From the elephant slipped off his body.
The leader of the Xiangrui Army took a closer look and said, "No, these elephants are wearing simple armor. There is no way to attack them. Retreat! They all retreated to the city wall and used the city wall for defense. We have enough people. We will definitely be able to stop them." .”
The leader of the auspicious army is still very prestigious in his team. After saying a word, no one refuted the leader of the auspicious army and hurriedly followed the leader of the auspicious army back to the city wall to garrison according to what the leader of the auspicious army said.
Seeing his elephant coming out, the enemy had no ability to compete. Instead, they all retreated into the city. The king was happy and kept shouting.
"Look, my elephant is invincible. Come on! Come on! Take the city while the elephant defeats them."
But when the elephant was halfway through the journey, several of the king's confidants came to the king's side.
"Your Majesty, elephants can fight in the field but cannot climb the city wall. It is better to let the elephant army withdraw. As long as our elephant army is here, the Tang army will not dare to come out and confront us head-on.
Furthermore, if our elephants gather under the city wall and they hit our elephants with stones, our elephants will be unable to fight back, which will only increase casualties. I hope His Majesty the King will understand this. "
One of the king's confidants had just finished speaking. Another confidant hurriedly showed off in front of the king.
"Your Majesty, as long as we capture some more prisoners and some more slaves and let them attack the city, we will definitely be able to capture this city.
Since the Tang army dared to use their people to defend the city, then we can also let our people come to attack the city. "
After hearing the compliment from his younger brother, the foreign king looked at them hurriedly and nodded.
"You are right. Since the Tang Army has been beaten back to the city, let the Xiang Army come back. As long as the Xiang Army comes again, the Tang Army will not dare to fight against us.
And you hurry up and take people around to capture all the people you can see, no matter what they look like. The young and strong ones arrange for them to attack the city. As for those who are as beautiful as flowers, they are just a reward for our warriors. This allowed them to better attack the Tang Army's territory. "
After the foreign king spoke, the younger brother beside him hurriedly followed the king's order. In this case, the two armies began to fight against each other.
Stand up.
The auspicious army retreated to the city, and the leader of the auspicious army hurriedly came to the border city guard and hugged his fist.
"This general belongs to a certain family. He actually can't kill these elephants outside. They are all covered in armor, and they can't be killed by normal attacks. What can I do?"
The leader of the Xiangrui Army had just returned. He originally thought that the Tang Army general in front of him would severely scold him, but he did not expect that the Tang Army guard general would help the leader of the Xiangrui Army up in a hurry.
"What did the leader say? A certain family would like to thank the leader for repelling the enemy in front of him. If the leader hadn't repelled the enemy in front of him, we might have all died here. How could there be any resentment against the leader? mean?
Now these are the only people from a certain family who are willing to obey the leader's arrangements and guard the city together. When our Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty arrives, we will completely kill this foreigner Xiaoxiao with the sword. "
The leader of the auspicious army couldn't help but burst into tears looking at the general of the Tang army who was serving the country and the people.
"The general is really a good man. If we had encountered someone like the general who served the country and the people more often, how could we end up in this situation?"
But just as the leader of the Auspicious Army said this, the guard general of the Tang Army patted him on the shoulder.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we meet you now. What's more, you are already members of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince is my hope of the Tang Dynasty and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. You must unconditionally believe in His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely It brings us a pretty perfect life.”
As soon as the guard general of the Tang Army finished speaking, the leader of the Auspicious Rui Army looked a little moved to tears, but he nodded heavily.
"Yes, we must defend this city. I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Hou have come to the southwest. They will definitely bring troops to support us and wait for these foreigners who dare to dominate and misbehave in the Tang Dynasty. Completely kill them all."
"right."
Then two powerful palms were clasped together. Everyone next to them was infected by the words of these two people. They also made up their minds there to hold on until the reinforcements arrived no matter what, and completely defeat these enemy forces. wipe out.
However, these two powerful hands held each other together, and suddenly a strange sound sounded at the scene.
It wasn't that there were people talking there, nor was it someone who was deliberately making noises. Instead, the stomachs of the leader of the Xiangrui Army and the guard of the Tang Army began to growl at the same time, which suddenly made the two originally serious people laugh.
But just after laughing, the Tang Army guard general turned a little pale.
"How can I say this? It will be difficult for the leader."
As soon as the guard general of the Tang Army finished speaking, the leader of the Xiangrui Army looked at him doubtfully.
"I wonder what the general has planned?"
"The arrangement is not appropriate."
The general hurriedly said, "If it's unlucky, leader of the Rui army, please arrange for some people to return. We don't have much food and grass in the city. So many people may be hungry. Let them return first and build a new city in a new place." We can also borrow some food from the surrounding counties. In this case, we can ensure that everyone has enough to eat and will not have no strength when fighting the enemy."
However, when the guard general of the Tang Army said this, the leader of the Xiangrui Army looked at him doubtfully.
"Isn't there anyone in the surrounding counties who can send us food and grass supplies?"
The guard general of the Tang Army was speechless for a moment, "When the enemy invaded, I immediately asked them to prepare reinforcements and food, but for some reason no one has arrived yet."
The guard general of the Tang Army expressed his worries, and the leader of the Xiangrui Army slapped the wall.
"Hateful! These people just want to protect themselves and don't come to support us at all. Needless to say, I didn't see a hair of the support team on my way here. Even ordinary people spontaneously came to our side to defend us. There is no one in the city, it’s as if they don’t know these things at all.”
"How could this be?"
The guard general of the Tang Army was shocked, "Under such circumstances, if the news cannot be conveyed, then how can we get reinforcements when we are stationed here? No, I also ask the leader to arrange for the soldiers to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Hou as soon as possible no matter what. No matter what, the message must be
Inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Hou. "
The leader of the auspicious army looked at the general of the Tang army in front of him anxiously and assured him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely arrange for capable people to send all the news there."
However, as soon as the leader of the Xiangrui Army finished speaking, he hurriedly waved and called a few of his confidants to make serious arrangements, asking him to contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Hou.
Of course, if these chosen confidants are not members of Li Chengqian's Jin Yiwei, who are they?
But before the Jin Yiwei could go out, someone quickly shouted from behind.
"Great, great, our food has arrived."
At this moment, the leader of the Xiangrui Army had not finished making arrangements. He hurriedly looked to the rear, and was shocked by this sight.
Why are there a few people with bright armor at the front of his team? There are no people with such gorgeous armor among their auspicious army. Even if their auspicious army broke through the county and robbed some armor weapons, these armor weapons were all used by them. It was left to the newly formed guard team in the county town. The county town must have a ready-made reputation, and it cannot be defended by a bunch of random people.
If you want to maintain order, you also need to show your identity. We can't let the passing merchants say anything wrong with their Xiangrui Army. This will bring shame to His Highness the Crown Prince. Of course, after all the circumstances are made public and their Xiangrui Army submits to His Highness the Crown Prince.
However, the leader of the auspicious army had no choice but to make such an arrangement. Seeing that many brothers in front of him did not have armor, he also took off the gorgeous armor he captured and gave it to others, but he believed that even the most gorgeous armor he wore The armor is not as gorgeous as the one in front of me.
What's more, there are more than a dozen figures next to them, also wearing such gorgeous armor. What's more, there are actually two girls among this group of people. What's going on?
Their auspicious army has never bullied men and dominated women, let alone snatched girls. Even those who snatched girls were killed on the spot by the leader of the auspicious army. Who has the guts to do it again?
A henchman secretly snatching a girl under his nose? Less likely.
Although the leader of the auspicious army was very confused, he still waved.
"Brother, you should go about your business first and explain all the situation clearly to His Highness the Crown Prince and General Hou."
Jin Yiwei hurriedly clasped his fists, "Don't worry, brother, I will do everything properly and bring reinforcements to support as soon as possible."
