During this time, Li Hao was also making his own preparations, he went to a tailor shop in the city to make a robe, this is a robe designed by him himself, it is not much different from the robe of this era, a bit like the handsome robe in the animation game of the future world, and then he borrowed the seven-star sword from Lu Yun, and danced the sword slowly in the courtyard every day, stepping on some strange steps, feeling like a dancing god, but more handsome than a dancing god. The seven-star sword has been connected, and I have to say that the craftsmanship of Qin Blacksmith's father and son is indeed very skillful, and this sword has been received without flaws, and it is impossible to see that it has ever been broken.

Seven days later, the 60,000 troops from Jiaohe City had arrived 30 miles outside Tingzhou City, and brought ladders to rush to the city and other siege baggage, it can be seen that Gaochang is bound to win Tingzhou this time.

And on this day, Li Hao's 800-mile expedited war was finally delivered to Chang'an, and it was presented to Taiji Palace by the Ministry of War.

However, at this moment, His Majesty our Great Heavenly Khan was fighting against Xue Yantuo on the Yinshan Prairie, how could he see Li Hao's urgent report.

It was the crown prince Li Chengqian who watched Li Hao's urgent battle report in the Taiji Palace, because Li Shimin designated the crown prince Li Chengqian to temporarily manage the government before he set out, and the eldest grandson Wuji assisted in the government affairs, so he could take this opportunity to exercise Li Chengqian, after all, he was the one who was going to take over his throne in the future, and it was always good to intern in advance, and with the eldest grandson Wuji on the side to assist him, I believe there would be no major problems.

However, Li Shimin ignored one point, that is, Li Hao, Li Hao and Li Chengqian are enemies, the kind that tears their faces, as soon as they saw Li Hao's twists and turns, Li Chengqian directly uncovered the lampshade, put it on the lamp and lit it, burned it, and when he burned it, he still had a hideous smile on his face, and whispered proudly in his mouth: "If you want to ask for help, hum, you want to be beautiful, it's best to let Gaochang break through Tingzhou, and you are ready to die in Tingzhou." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the eldest grandson Wuji entered the East Palace to see Li Chengqian, because he heard the squire of the military department talk about Li Hao's request for help from Tingzhou, but he did not hear Li Chengqian mention it, so he came to inquire in person.

Li Chengqian shook his head and denied this, saying that he had never received a copy from the Ministry of War, and that he had probably made a mistake or lost it in the process of transmission, and that it was all very perfunctory excuses anyway, and he didn't bother to make up lies at first glance.

Wise as the eldest grandson Wuji, how could he not see that Li Chengqian was lying, he also guessed Li Chengqian's intentions, that was to put Li Hao to death, the eldest grandson Wuji was struggling in his heart, he wanted to save Li Hao, but he was afraid of offending Li Chengqian, although Li Chengqian was his nephew, and he usually had an uncle with him, but when he encountered this kind of thing, he didn't dare to try it easily, because he could feel that Li Chengqian really hated Li Hao, if he didn't handle it well, it was very likely that Li Chengqian would also hate himself, after all, he was the future emperor, It is the master who will eventually serve him.

The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated for a long time, gave up the plan to save Li Hao, turned a blind eye, and did not ask about the matter of asking for help, Chang'an was still calm and peaceful.

At noon the next day, 60,000 soldiers came to the city of Tingzhou, surrounded Tingzhou, the ancients also paid attention to faith and righteousness in the war, and surrounded three ques and one when attacking the city, leaving a way to live.

That is to say, only besiege three sides of the city, leave a city gate, let the enemy escape, as long as the enemy escapes, the besieging party can easily take the city, the defenders of the city save their lives, the besiegers also save trouble, everyone cooperates happily, a win-win situation.

But Tingzhou is more special, because Tingzhou only has one city gate, it is impossible to encircle three que, who would be stupid enough to put the city gate not to attack, and forcibly attack the city wall, that is not a problem with the brain, so this time the commander directly ordered the Tingzhou city to be surrounded, he is also determined to wipe out the Tang people in Tingzhou, and avenge the dead Gaochang army, because the commander of the march is called Zhang Meng, is Zhang Lan's own brother, the general of the right guard of the official residence, and the lord is handed over to the Duke of He, his own brother was killed by the Tang people, how could he give up.

The 60,000 army is like an endless black cloud, surrounding Tingzhou layer by layer, causing huge pressure on the defenders at the head of the city, Zhang Meng sent people to the city to shout to persuade him to surrender, and let the Tang army take the initiative to sacrifice Li Hao's head, so that the lives of the people in the city can be protected, otherwise after entering the city, the slaughter of the city for three days, the chickens and dogs will not be left, they are barbarians, and they never have to worry about others scolding them for being cruel.

However, no matter how they shouted, the defenders of the city ignored it, as if they didn't hear it, Zhang Meng lost his patience, in his opinion, 60,000 troops attacked a Tucheng defended by only more than 3,000 people, it was not a matter of being captured, so an order was given, and the 20,000 troops in the direction of the city gate began to attack the city.

20,000 troops are like ants densely attacking the city of Tingzhou, shouting and killing shook the sky, the Tang army on the city has ripped off the bow and arrow to shoot, the arrows are like rain, and people continue to fall to the ground, but the enemy army is too much, countless people pass through the rain of arrows, come to the city, set up the ladder and begin to climb the wall, the defenders at the head of the city have thrown down the stone and rolling wood, or overturn the ladder, the Tang army is brave, and there are extremely elite right guards, even if the soldiers of the Western Turks are very good at fighting, it is difficult to attack the city head for a while.

After observing for a moment, the enemy commander mobilized archers to press the formation from the rear, and returned fire to the Tang army with feathered arrows to cover the soldiers who climbed the wall.

Eight thousand archers fired a salvo, feather arrows fell from the sky like a torrential rain, even if the Tang army had the cover of the female wall, there were many people who were hit by arrows, or killed or wounded, the enemy soldiers on the wall suddenly became imposing, set up more ladders, climbed up one after another, and the rear army swarmed in, like a dense ant colony, which made people's scalps tingle.

The archers of the Don army had to point their arrows at the archers in the back row of the enemy army, they were condescending and easier to shoot, but unfortunately they were too few in number, and it took several rounds to shoot hundreds of enemy archers.

At this time, a rushing cart poured out of the rear of the Gaochang army, pushed forward by forty or fifty soldiers, and the archers of the Tang army turned around one after another when they saw this, and shot all the arrows towards the rushing cart.

There are roughly four types of chongcheng vehicles, and small chongcheng wood is enough to deal with this kind of city gate in Tingzhou. However, now this rush car is pushed forward by forty or fifty people, and the diameter of the chongcheng wood on the car is more than 60 centimeters, which is obviously not a small chongcheng car, and it is estimated that it only takes a dozen strokes to hit the gate of Tingzhou. Those soldiers held shields to resist the arrows while pushing the cart to approach the city gate, while the archers in the rear frantically shot arrows to suppress the Tang army on the city, covering the cart forward, as long as the cart reached the city gate, there was no suspense in this battle.

"Quick! Shut up the gates! Block the gates! "One of the lieutenants shouted frantically and ordered his men to block the gates.

Zhang Meng, the commander of Gaochang in the rear, looked at the battle situation in front of him and showed a satisfied smile, if nothing else, he would be able to take Tingzhou today, and he had even begun to imagine the picture of carrying the head of Li Hao, the assassin of Tingzhou, to receive the merit.

"Dashuai!" A partial general suddenly pointed to the Tingzhou City Tower and said, "Dashuai, there is something strange about the city tower over there, and there is a wooden plank more than a zhang long erected on the city, I don't know what is hidden behind it." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhang Meng looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, he found a long board erected on the head of Tingzhou City, he frowned and snorted coldly: "Hmph, presumably the Tingzhou Thorn Shi is hiding behind." ”

He guessed correctly, Li Hao was behind this wooden board at the moment, wearing a blue-edged robe on a white background, with fluttering clothes, holding the seven-star sword upside down, standing behind his back, standing on a table, the table was just as high as the battlements, if there was no thick wooden board in front of him, Li Hao would undoubtedly be a live target.

Regarding Li Hao's behavior, all the soldiers said that they couldn't understand it, but they didn't dare to ask, and they didn't have time to ask more.

Li Hao waited for the opportunity on the wooden table, he wanted to deter the enemy army with the power of ghosts and gods, and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements, after all, ancient people were most afraid of ghosts and gods.

The city car has been slowly approaching the city gate, and there are only fifty zhang left from the city gate...... Forty zhang ...... Thirty zhang ...... Twenty zhang.

At that moment, a puff of white smoke rose from behind the wooden planks at the head of the city, and it diffused and enveloped the entire tower.

"Where's the smoke?" Gaochang Coach Zhang Meng frowned and groaned, "What the hell is the Tang Army doing, is their city tower on fire?" ”

As soon as his words fell, four black balls suddenly flew out of the smoke and fell around the city-rushing car, and then, "bang-bang-bang" four huge explosions and made a sound, accompanied by the sky-high fire flickering, like a divine thunder descending into the world, the earth shook the mountains, and the place where the explosion occurred was the location of the city-rushing car.

Everyone on the battlefield was stunned, almost forgetting to fight, and all stared at the place where the explosion had occurred, looking at the mushroom-shaped white smoke rising from the ground.

"What just happened?" Zhang Meng stared at the smoke in the air, almost unable to believe his eyes.

"Like...... It seems to be a god of thunder from the sky, ......" The general on the side replied stunned, and his eyes were full of shock.

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the topography of the explosion site, only to see that there were four large pits with a diameter of one meter on the ground, and there were blasted limbs and internal organs all over the ground, and none of the dozens of people who pushed the Chongcheng car survived.

"Divine thunder, it's divine thunder!" I don't know who exclaimed, everyone shouted, Tang Jun was excited, Gao Changjun was frightened.

The two armies are fighting, the most particular thing is the momentum, the stronger the momentum, the stronger the fighting spirit, the stronger the combat power, when the saying of the thunder spread in the Gaochang army, those armies still have the heart to fight again, they are all panicked, they are not Gaochang people, they are the soldiers of the Western Turks, inexplicably borrowed to attack a small city in the Tang Dynasty, I didn't expect that the sky will rain down the thunder, help the Tang Dynasty, how to fight this battle, many soldiers who have climbed the ladder retreated, and the people who have not yet climbed the ladder are desperately fleeing back.

Seeing this, coach Zhang Meng shouted wildly: "Don't retreat, don't retreat, escape!" Chop! ”

However, the group of soldiers continued to flee back, they were the soldiers of the Western Turks, to be honest, they were not willing to be restrained by this commander of Gaochang, a small country like Gaochang, in the eyes of the Western Turks, was not even a fart, and the arrogant Western Turkic soldiers looked down on Gaochang at all.

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, Zhang Meng was extremely angry, and commanded the 10,000 Gaochang soldiers he brought to line up, and said loudly: "Shoot all those retreating soldiers!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the Western Turkic soldiers were terrified, and the commander of Gaochang was ruthless, and then, he saw the arrows in the rear raining down, shooting a large number of the soldiers who were fleeing back, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they turned around and rushed to the city wall again.

At this moment, the smoke at the head of the city of Tingzhou was blown away by the wind, and it was vaguely visible that there was a person standing above the city, it was a young Taoist priest, with a bun on his head, wearing a blue and white Taoist robe, holding a bright silver sword, and with the hazy smoke, there was a tendency to become an immortal.

Li Hao held the seven-star sword, pointed at the tens of thousands of troops under the city, and drank coldly, "Wait for the ghost!" Little Ones! Trying in vain to get involved in the territory of the Tang Dynasty is simply self-defeating! This seat is the chief disciple of Qingyunzi, the chief disciple of the ancestor of the Bodhi Ancestor of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and today I will let you and others taste the immortal art of this seat, the true trick of the sword and thunder! ”

As he spoke, he stepped on the Qiankun step, the long sword in his hand danced slowly, and he groaned in a long voice: "Nine Heavens Xuansha!" Turned into thunder! Brilliant Tianwei! Lead it with a sword! ”

The whole battlefield seems to have become Li Hao's performance stage, no matter whether it is friend or foe, the armies of both sides temporarily forgot to fight, and they all looked at Li Hao dancing there in a daze, not to mention, Li Hao's carefully compiled footwork and swordsmanship are really good, it really looks like that, and with the domineering mantra of this divine sword and thunder true recipe and the white smoke in the sky, it is really like an immortal saint descending to earth.

"Broken!" After Li Hao finished reciting the mantra, he slid forward with the two fingers of his left hand against the blade of the sword, and when he slid to the tip of the sword, he suddenly pointed his sword at the dense enemy army group not far away, and at the same time, four bombs quickly passed through the white smoke and landed where Li Hao pointed at the sword.

"Bang bang bang!" The four bombs exploded at the same time again, shaking the earth like thunder, and all the enemy troops within 10 meters of the surrounding area were affected, killed or wounded, and the smoke of gunpowder billowed out.

Seeing this, the Tang army at the head of the city was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they all shouted excitedly: "The true trick of the Divine Sword and Thunder!" Excalibur and Thunder! Excalibur Thunder True Trick ......"

The enemy was frightened again and wanted to retreat, but the coach Zhang Meng roared loudly from behind: "Kill him!" Kill that Taoist priest! Who dares to step back! No mercy! ”

Seeing this, Li Hao frowned slightly, he must deter these enemies as soon as possible, otherwise the enemy will shoot arrows indiscriminately, and he will be shot into a hedgehog, so he shouted in a deep voice again: "The true skill of the divine sword and thunder!" Break! At the same time, the two fingers of his left hand slid over the sword again, and then pointed to a place where the enemy army was dense, "Bang bang bang!" There was another deafening explosion, and the earth trembled.

"Excalibur Thunder Technique!" After using up one move, Li Hao continued to drink, preparing to use the Divine Sword Thunder True Technique for the third time.

At this time, the enemy army was completely frightened, where did they dare to stay for a few more moments, they all broke down and shouted, and rushed back! No matter how Zhang Meng roared and shouted, it was all useless, because they had been defeated psychologically, no wonder the art of war often said, the siege of the city is the bottom, the attack of the heart is the top, as long as the enemy is defeated psychologically, then the enemy will no longer have the will to fight, and win without a fight, Li Hao this time is to borrow the ancient people's belief in ghosts and gods, and successfully bluff the enemy.
