"Tang Jun rejected Gaochang's peace talks?" On the sickbed, Ju Wentai couldn't help frowning when he heard the envoy's return.

"Father, what should I do then?" Lu Zhisheng panicked in his heart, 100,000 Tang troops are a terrifying force, and Gao Chang alone may be difficult to stop.

Ju Wentai shook his head, he was not surprised by this result, after all, the Tang army had come all the way, and it was impossible to give up so easily.

"At this moment, the Tang army will naturally not negotiate easily, as long as the Tang army is blocked under my Gaochang City, the Tang army will naturally negotiate peace at that time!" Ju Wentai said solemnly.

"Now the Tang army is marching towards that city!" Ju Wentai asked the envoy of Gaochang.

The envoy of Gaochang replied: "King Qiyu, according to the scouts, the direction of the Tang army's march should be Tiandi City. ”

"Field City! There is a field city, and the Tang army can definitely be blocked under the city. Ju Wentai was slightly relieved when he heard the direction of the Tang army's march.

Tiandi City is the only way to Gaochang City, and it is the first line of defense of Gaochang, which has already been expanded by him many times, and its defense power has increased greatly.

"Tell me everything you saw and heard in the Tang Army!" This is the time of Gaochang's life and death, Ju Wentai disregarded his body and said to Gaochang's envoy.

When the envoy of Gaochang came to the 1510, when it was said that Mo Jiazi refused to accept a diamond bribe, Ju Wentai's face suddenly changed.

"It's not good, the field city is in danger!"

Ju Wentai couldn't help but shout.

"Father, rest assured, the walls of the field city are thick, the ordnance and grain are sufficient, and the guards are even more loyal, plus there are many herdsmen who have moved into the city, the army and the people will definitely be able to block the Tang army under the city!" Koji Zhisheng hurriedly stepped forward to support his father and comforted.

Ju Wentai's face was pale and said: "If it was a few years ago, this king naturally believed that the field city that had been expanded for many years could block the Tang army, but the Tang Emperor actually sent the Mo family as well!" I'm afraid that Tiandi City will not be able to keep it. ”

"Mo Jiazi? According to legend, he just knows how to write kitsch and make some money, why does his father attach so much importance to it. "In the past, Koji Zhisheng just liked the goods produced in Mojia Village, and was very interested in Mojia ink skills, and he didn't think much of the various legends of Mojiazi that circulated in the Western Regions.

Ju Wentai's face turned pale and said: "The Mo family controls the most mysterious firearms supervisor in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tuyuhun Three Forts that Tuyuhun was proud of back then fell into the hands of the Mo family, although Tiandi City is slightly better than the Tuyuhun Three Forts, but I am afraid that it will not last long in the hands of the Mo family." ”

"What then?" Koji Zhisheng's face changed.

It is Gaochang's established tactics to clear the field and defend the city, and the Tang Dynasty can obtain supplies and a foothold in a short period of time by breaking through the field city, and once it has gained a firm foothold in Gaochang, Gaochang may be really dangerous.

"Immediately hurry up and urge General Helu, hoping that he can come to the rescue before the Tang army besieges Gaochang." Ju Wentai said.

"What about Field City?" Koji Zhisheng was unwilling.

Ju Wentai said disheartenedly: "I'm afraid Tiandi City is over!" ”

Ju Wentai's guess is not wrong, at this moment, Tiandi City has been surrounded by 100,000 troops, and the population of Tiandi City is only a few thousand, and it was a rare important town in the Western Regions in the past, and the continuous influx of herdsmen is only more than 10,000 people.

However, the Tang army in Tiandi City was 100,000 people, ten times more than him, and this time Tiandi City could be said to have encountered the most powerful opponent since the founding of the city.

"General! The Tang army was full of 100,000 people, and Tiandi City was afraid that it would be difficult to resist. "In front of the East Tower of Tiandi City, a general asked Ju Wensheng, the lord of Tiandi City, for advice.

The city lord Ju Wensheng is a member of the Gaochang royal family, and he is Ju Wentai's younger brother, so he stretched out Ju Wentai's trust and appointed him as the lord of Tiandi City to defend Gaochang City.

Ju Wensheng looked at the Tang cavalry under the golden iron horse under the city, and said with a solemn face: "Now the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are indeed much better than my field city, but my field city is guarded by a strong city, and there is no fear of the Tang army at all." ”

The guard frowned and said: "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: "Ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it twice." Now that the Tang army is ten times better than my Tiandi City, Tiandi City has no chance of winning. ”

According to the king's original plan, Tiandi City only needed to hold the attack of 30,000 troops, but in fact, now the Tang army has come as many as 100,000 at once, which is far beyond the capacity of Tiandi City.

Ju Wensheng said coldly: "If you can't defend it, you have to defend it, the Tang army is coming from afar, the grain and grass are insufficient, our army only needs to hold the field city, and we can usher in fighters for my Gaochang, besides, the Tang army spans the desert and cannot transport large siege machinery, my field city is thick, and the Tang army wants to attack the city, but also depends on whether the strong city under my feet agrees or not." ”

Ju Wensheng is confident enough in the field city under his feet, every fortification here is personally supervised by him, and according to his observation, the Tang army did not carry large siege weapons, he believes that the field city operated by Gaochang for several generations will definitely be able to block the Tang army under the city.

"I didn't expect that the small Western Regions would have such a strong city." Under the field city, Hou Junji couldn't help but admire the well-guarded field city.

Even from the opponent's point of view, Hou Junji has to admit that Tiandi City is indeed extraordinary, in terms of defensive strength, Tiandi City has surpassed the city walls of ordinary county towns in the Tang Dynasty, and is already extremely close to the county town, which is extremely rare in the Western Regions.

"It's a pity that the city that the general has broken is not very ordinary, but what is the small field city?" Xin Fang'er on the side complimented Hou Junji.

Hou Junji couldn't help but say with a smug smile on his face: "If it is in the Tang Dynasty, the small Tiandi City is naturally nothing, but our army has come from afar, and there are no large-scale siege weapons, and we have to rely on the firearms supervisor of the ink sacrifice wine." ”

"I hope that the blow that the ink sacrifice wine said can be broken, and it is not a big word." Xin Fang'er's squinted eyes and said excitedly.

Merton didn't bother to deal with Xin Fang'er at all, but arched his hand towards Hou Junji and said, "If the firearms supervisor wants to attack the city, he must need the assistance of a large army to get the gunpowder close to the city gate. ”

Hou Junji waved his hand and said: "This matter is easy, I don't know which city gate Mo Xijiu wants to capture, this general asked Xin Fang'er to cooperate with you." ”

Merton shook his head and said, "It's not a city gate, it's the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Tiandi City, attacking together." ”

Hou Junji couldn't help but be surprised: "The four city gates are attacking together"

Merton nodded and said: "Yes, since the gunpowder broke through the three forts of Tuyuhun, I think the countries of the Western Regions must also be prepared, but even if the countries of the Western Regions are prepared, they will usually leave a city gate as a counteroffensive, as long as there is a gate in Tiandi City that is not sealed, it will definitely be broken by gunpowder, and when the time comes, Tiandi City will definitely fight." ”

"As Mohou said." Hou Junji glanced at Morton deeply, and shouted:

"Where are Xin Fang'er, Xue Wanjun, and Niu Jinda?"

"The last general!" The three of them went out at the same time.

"You and the other three are in charge of the three city gates, the north, the south and the west, and the general is personally in charge of the east gate, and must cover the firearms supervisor approaching the city gate." Hou Junji shouted.

"Obey!" The three of them received the order and immediately led their headquarters to the other three city gates.
