Li Deyu looked at the shattered trebuchet and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The success of the first battle made him a little carried away. Even he forgot that the trebuchet Tang Jun also had it. Some were lost in the outer city, but there were still remnants of trebuchets in the inner city.

The round of counterattack just now must have been done by the Tang army concentrating all the trebuchets. His own trebuchet seems to have suffered heavy losses. I don't know how many of those craftsmen can repair. If it is not repaired, this siege will become protracted. This is not what I hoped for!

The battlefield is like this, and the generals of one side are in a good mood. The mood of the generals on the other side will be very bad. Whether you are in a good mood or a bad mood depends entirely on the situation on the battlefield.

Since Li Deyu and Yousufu are in a bad mood, Zhang Liang's mood must be good.

"Very well, this one took out at least half of the enemy's trebuchets. The rest is slowly grinded and will always be worn off. Zhang Liang slapped the cold city wall and said excitedly.

In siege warfare, trebuchets are the most deadly thing. Especially after the Tang army had gunpowder and oil, the traditional engineering methods would inevitably encounter a devastating blow. No one could climb the tall walls under the attack of gunpowder and oil.

The most famous battle was the Battle of Shuofang commanded by Yun Hao. After the war, Zhang Liang went to the battlefield and saw the mountain of corpses almost level with the city wall. Rao is used to seeing Zhang Liang, who is used to seeing big scenes, and he also vomits three liters.

"Do you want to go out of the city and do it, the Persians are retreating, and it's a good time." Han Dewang asked excitedly.

"Forget it! The outside had turned into a piece of rubble, not at all suitable for cavalry action. The cavalry on horseback charged like infantry. The consequences you know what to expect! People have two legs, and so do you. Even if you catch up, the physical exertion is very high.

Now that we're at a disadvantage, let's not waste manpower. Commanded to go down, the trebuchet stared at the opponent's trebuchet and smashed. Gather the food and check the fuel again. Let's see how long we can last! "Since you have withstood the attack, you have to plan for the future.

"Don't worry, Dashuai, there will be no major problems in materials. When the site was first selected, the army's material warehouse was selected in the inner city. Don't look at the loss of our outer city, but the material loss is actually very small. Although there has been no investigation yet, the subordinates feel that it is okay for three or five months. Han Dewang was very proud of his original foresight.

"No! The imperial court knew that the news was beginning, and then mobilized and sent a large army. If the army arrives in Almaty again to save us, you won't even think about it for four or five months. It's better to take some steps to see how you can save your life. Fortunately, it had just snowed heavily, so at least the water source was fine. ”

Stepping on the thick snow, Zhang Liang thanked the blizzard for the first time.

The trebuchet was destroyed, and the Persians had to be silenced. Find another suitable way to conduct siege warfare. They also come from afar, and their physical fatigue cannot be eliminated by resting for a day or two.

Although Li Deyu is in a hurry, Yusuf is not in a hurry. He decided that Tang Jun was a rat in the urn and couldn't run out of his palm. Even Yusuf had a bolder idea, since it surrounded Zhang Liang. simply surrounded him here, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, come and go together, eat the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty, and then clean up the big rat in the city.

Looking at the self-satisfied Yousuf, Li Deyu couldn't be happy. Almaty was not a suitable location for a decisive battle, the terrain here was too flat for the Tang cavalry to gallop. Although the Persian cavalry is also famous, it can fight with the Tang army at most.

Yusuf always talked about the five hundred Templar warriors, but he didn't know that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was also the emperor immediately. Datang also has an elite Xuanjia army. Compared to the Templars who only knew that they were armed with scimitars, those were the demon kings who killed people.

The bulldozer-like Xuanjia Army is a nightmare existence for any infantry, including the so-called Templars.

There's no way to say Tong Yousufu, and there's no way for Li Deyu. After all, the coach here is Yusuf, not an outsider.

Two days passed, and there was an eerie silence on both sides. The Don army did not go out of the city to attack, and the Persians seemed to be very comfortable. The city was full of food and everything that could be used. Many Persians lived in houses that were not destroyed, and a house in the cold was happiness.

It wasn't until the fifth day that a black spot appeared in the sky. Then a loud roar was heard, and the black dots were getting closer and closer. Finally, I could see that it was a huge airship.

One of the benefits of airships is that they don't have to have a landing field. This thing can hover over the city without having to land.

Seeing Almaty, where half of the city was reduced to ruins, the pilot of the airship was also startled. Seeing that the Tang flag with black characters on a red background was still hanging in the inner city, the airship flew directly over. And hovered in the air, and after repeated confirmation, he lowered the soft ladder and climbed down a lieutenant.

Zhang Liang's face, which had been tense for several days, finally had a smile, and the airship could bring the news back. The rescue army of the imperial court will also arrive, and the risk of falling here by yourself is greatly reduced.

Since you won't die here, there's nothing to be afraid of. To catch up with such a big battle, it should be an opportunity. The wealth of the three generations of the Zhang family is probably going to be fought in this war.

The captain who climbed down climbed up again, except for taking Zhang Liang's handwritten book with him. They also took five barrels of oil, and they couldn't go back to Tingzhou without enough oil. This back and forth, almost a thousand miles.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Hahaha!" Above the Taiji Hall was the laughter of Li Erye's owl.

Li Er was very happy and lonely for a long time. Unai is difficult to match, and he even has a sense of invincible loneliness. Now, the country called Da Shi in the West has brazenly launched a war against the Tang Dynasty.

There were two recitals on the table, one from Strait Castle. In addition, the seal was sent by Qiu Shili, who stayed in Tingzhou, and there were two battles on sea and land. With one win and one draw, Datang played like this in the face of a surprise attack, which made Li Er very pleased.

"Tell me who is right to send. Zhang Liang was trapped in Almaty, and he had to find a way to get people out. Li Er looked at the courtiers in the hall.

Fang Xuanling closed his eyes and recuperated, he was like this when the court was in the past two years. When people get old, they think about what happens after death. In the past two years, the Fang family has not been peaceful, mainly because of the troubles caused by his daughter-in-law Gao Yang.

It's hard to be a family man if you're not deaf or dumb, Fang Xuanling almost hates that she said this. If it weren't for Gao Yang being a princess, Fang Xuanling would have been eager to soak him in a pig cage. The face of the old house has made this slut lose everything.

Now Fang Xuanling is a monk for a day, thinking that one day Li Er will be happy to approve his resignation report.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, looked up at the caisson on the top of the Taiji Hall, and crossed his hands in front of him. The thumbs keep turning each other!

This uncle is now the head of the household department of the Tang Dynasty, and the right servant of the book. This dispatch of troops has nothing to do with him, just pay for money and food. It's just that now Datang is engaged in engineering construction everywhere, and it is a difficult problem where to pick out the money.

Cheng Yanjin didn't speak, and his family Cheng Chumo fought against the enemy in the Strait Castle. Thousands of Persians have been killed and wounded, and the credit has been decided. No more need to go to that shabby place in the Western Regions to fish for military merits!

Niu Jinda usually stood with Cheng Yanjin, and he didn't speak. Because his son Niu Jianhu is on duty on the Datang! On the first day of learning that the Strait Castle was under siege, the Datang lifted anchor and went to sea. Accompanied by a group of servant ships, they slaughtered towards the Strait Castle.

Wei Chi Gong also did not speak, and his son Wei Chi Baolin was dispatching troops to rush to Guangzhou. Once in Guangzhou, they would board the transport ships that had rushed over from Liaodong. Then, under the protection of the Datang, it went to the Persian sea area and landed in the Persian Gulf. They planned to ask the Great Food Emperor why they came to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, it's better to bring it back alive. If you die, you can bring it back to your head, and the credit will definitely not be less anyway.

Li Ji wanted to go, but the political whirlpool in Chang'an was too weird. He, the secretary of the military department, is walking on thin ice! Can......! really wanted him to let go of the book of the military department that he had so hard to get, but he was a little unwilling.

I've been in that place in the Western Regions for many years, and I'm tired of it. He really wouldn't want to eat sand anymore if he could.

The bigwigs were reluctant to move, and only two princes remained.

Li Ke and Li Tai were both making up their minds, and Li Ke was secretly glad that his own Zhang Liang went to the Western Regions. No matter how the battle turned out this time, it was still possible to protect Almaty from being attacked by surprise. This is the credit of the certainty, and Li Er will definitely be rewarded when he returns to Chang'an.

Li Tai's heart was sour, and Zhang Liang made a meritorious service. When he returned to Chang'an, his status would only be higher, and if he had known about it, he would have recommended his own people to go to the Western Regions. Guo Xiaoke is a very good candidate, and he was the only one who followed Li Erbai to charge into battle.

Since he was going to send reinforcements, he naturally wanted to take this errand into his own hands. The military exploits of the Western Regions can't let Zhang Liang fish all by himself, he has to fish a little bit himself.

Li Ke was thinking that the military exploits of the Western Regions could only be fished out by his own people. I should protect Qiu Shili, this guy originally followed Hou Junji and the prince to mess around. Now that the prince of Hou Junji has fallen, he is loyal to himself again. He is the lieutenant general of the Western Regions, and the boss is trapped.

Qiu Shili came to lead the troops, it is reasonable!

Both sides were thinking about how to carry the errand in their arms, but neither was ready to be the first to speak. The atmosphere in the main hall was a little weird for a while!

"Your Majesty! I would like to go to the Western Regions! While everyone was making their own calculations, a voice suddenly sounded.
