That night, the shouts of killing continued all night long.
According to Yao Yuanzhi's report, East Vietnam should have sent a death squad composed of those Nanyang prisoners.
Throughout the night, those short Nanyang people rushed towards the city wall without fear of death.
The Tang army fought back wave after wave, and it was not until dawn that they finally stopped.
"Damn it, how did the Tang army know that we were coming to raid?" The general leading the East Vietnam army was Tang Ping's old acquaintance - Zhen Xiong.
"General, we must break through Baozi City within five days, otherwise we will be in trouble when reinforcements from other parts of the Tang Dynasty arrive."
"Humph, of course I know!"
Zhen Xiong groaned. This time, in order to kill Tang Ping, he led an army of 600,000 to raid Baozi City.
Although the Tang Dynasty had a strong military, its borders were long. Now all countries were eyeing the Tang Dynasty. They could mobilize up to 300,000 people to help.
His subordinates clearly have 600,000 troops, but they are afraid of the 300,000 Tang troops who have not yet arrived. How can he not be frustrated!
"Send someone to Baozi City and tell them that if they are willing to hand over Tang Ping, I will withdraw immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Here!"
Soon, several East Vietnamese soldiers with loud voices came to Baozi City and shouted loudly: "Brothers from Baozi City, we are here just to capture the rebel king of our country, that is, Wang Qingluan and Tang Ping. As long as you Hand them over and we will retreat immediately."
"We are all here to be soldiers for pay, there is no need to bleed and lose our lives for someone who has nothing to do with us, right?"
Several people shouted under the city for a long time, but there was no response from the city wall. In desperation, they could only return without success.
"Haha, these East Vietnamese dogs still want us to hand over Duke Ping."
"If Duke Pingguo hadn't been enjoying the blessings in Chang'an for us Qiu Ba, why would he have come here? He had sent so many supplies to everyone, and taken photos for everyone to send back home. If we had sent Pingguo to your home today, If the bus goes out, I'm afraid my spine will be pointed out for the rest of my life."
"Hahaha, no, I just ate the cured pork ribs brought by Lord Ping yesterday, and today we are asked to betray him. I can't do it anyway."
"I have heard that when we received news of the enemy attack last night, our General Yao persuaded Duke Ping to take the princess and leave first. But what do you think Duke Ping said?"
"What did you say?"
"A bunch of East Vietnamese native chickens and dogs want me to escape. Do you think too highly of them?"
"Hahahaha, that's right, aren't they just chickens and dogs? These grandsons attacked all night, and I haven't had enough of killing them before they are gone."
At this time, Tang Ping was watching someone give medicine to Li Dali.
After Li Dali came back, he was so exhausted that he fainted.
Yao Yuanzhi called the army doctor to treat him all night, and he finally woke up in the morning.
But because of being caught in the rain and running so far, my body was severely exhausted, and I still had a high fever when I woke up.
Tang Ping brought fever-reducing medicine from modern times, and when he found out about it, he came over with the medicine.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Li Dali drank the medicine and looked at Tang Ping with red eyes. The man, who had been stabbed on his body without making a sound, burst into tears while recounting what happened after they were attacked.
"Pingguo Gong, Gou Sheng... Gou Sheng him... His mother hasn't... wu wu wu..."
When talking about the latter part, Li Dali was already crying. He struggled to get up and take the knife to the city wall several times, but was pushed back every time.
Tang Ping also didn't expect that the little soldier whom he took photos and recorded videos of a few days ago would die like this.
Think about the way he reacted to his mother seeing his video, the way he looked at his photos with a satisfied face, and the way he stupidly called himself "You're stupid."
Tang Ping's nails were embedded in his flesh.
It turned out that Tang Ping was actually a little averse to war, but at this moment, the fire in his heart began to burn, and he even wished that he could take out a Gatling and attack all the East Vietnam army below.
"Do you know how many enemy troops there are?" Tang Ping turned to ask Yao Yuanzhi.
"It's estimated to be around half a million."
"What about the weather? When will it clear up?"
"It's hard to say. It often rains like this for several days at a time. No one can tell when it will stop."
"Can you hold it?"
With a military strength comparison of one to five, although Baozi City is called a city, it is not that big.
Even Yao Yuanzhi was not completely sure and could only say: "The general will definitely live and die with the city."
"Yuanzhi, I don't know how to defend the city, so I leave everything to you." Tang Ping knew that the most taboo thing at this time was for an outsider to command an expert.
Yao Yuanzhi's ability to become the Prime Minister of the Three Dynasties and the Minister of the Ministry of War certainly has his ability. At this time, we can only believe in him.
Seeing that the Tang army was unmoved, the East Vietnamese army outside the city launched another attack.
The whole night last night was a test, not only to test the strength of the Tang army, but also to test whether their divine cannon could be used.
So far, none of the eight divine cannons on the city wall have fired, so Zhen Xiong is relieved.
"Attack the city!" He fired his bow without turning back, he was already here. If he couldn't capture Tang Ping, it would be even more dangerous.
Following the order, the East Vietnamese Army began to invest regular troops.
The Tang army was well equipped because Tang Ping provided many advanced forging and smelting technologies.
East Vietnam is well equipped because they have money.
The armor is not as strong as the Tang army, so it would be better to make it thicker.
The bows and arrows are not as sharp as those of the Tang army, so just shoot a few more.
This time, Zhen Xiong sent out the most elite troops in East Vietnam. With excellent equipment and huge numbers, their attack brought huge pressure on the Tang army.
And they can take turns to fight, but there are only so many Tang troops. At first, they could line up in three teams to take turns defending the city, but with the continuous fighting and casualties, it gradually turned into two teams.
Later, Tang Ping sent all the Xuanjia Cavalry to withstand the attack of the Dongyue Army.
If it weren't for the Tang Army's sharp steel knives and sturdy armor, they probably wouldn't have been able to defend this day.
"Ping Guo Gong, find a way to break out of the encirclement!" Yao Yuanzhi suggested again with some worry.
He knew the role Tang Ping played in the Tang Dynasty. It could be said that even if ten cities like Baozi City were lost, the Tang Dynasty could still afford it.
But Datang could not afford to lose Tang Ping.
Tang Ping did not answer, but put his thumb into his mouth and then stretched it out.
"Yuanzhi, has the wind direction changed?"
Yao Yuanzhi felt it, nodded and said, "It has indeed changed."
"It seems that God doesn't want me to leave either!"
If the wind had been in the original direction, he would have floated in the direction of Datang in the hot air balloon.
But now the wind direction has changed, and now the hot air balloon can only float in the direction of East Vietnam when it takes off.
