Chapter 33: Defending the City

Inside the East Palace, feeling the powerful fluctuations coming from the depths of the palace, Li Xianyi walked out of the palace door and stood on the stone steps and looked up, from here he could see the appearance of the sky above the Fengyi Palace, where there were twenty-one Five Realm Grandmasters standing in the sky, fighting each other, and one side of the heavens and the earth were shaken.

The queen didn't make a move, just stood below and looked at Li Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged.

Ying Zi'an stood in front of Li Xiu, Li Xiu closed his eyes, and the blood gathered into silk threads flowing out of his body and converging into dragon qi above his head.

Chen Yanyan stood beside Li Xian and said softly, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to do most before he dies?"

These words were very disrespectful, which made the surrounding officials frown, but they didn't say much, and it was undoubtedly a very stupid act to deceive themselves at this time.

Yang Feihong also stood beside them, and did not speak, he was the first assistant of the Tang Dynasty, although the power in his hands was not as good as Qi Qin, but he was also a behemoth, but now no matter how behemoth he is, he can only be a poor donkey, and there is no way.

Li Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, his pale face was like a blank piece of paper, and now he had difficulty walking, and his body was staggering, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.

Chen Yanyan's question is worth thinking about, in fact, everyone has thought about what they will do before they die, and they think about it comprehensively, who to meet and what to say.

It's only when death does come that you know what your thoughts will become.

Li Xian thought for a while, then turned around and returned to the house: "Fight crickets, I have never fought crickets in my life." ”

Chen Yanyan was surprised: "When the country broke through mountains and rivers, the thing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to do most before he died turned out to be fighting crickets?"

Li Xian didn't stop walking, and asked rhetorically, "What does the National Teacher want to do before he dies?"

Chen Yanyan smiled and said, "I want to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to fight crickets." ”

Li Xianyi's footsteps paused, and then continued to walk inside.

Yang Feihong never spoke.

The officials looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile.

......

.......

The people in the capital are doing things in the capital, and the people outside Chang'an are also doing things outside Chang'an.

It has been more than ten days since the Nanqiao border army retreated to Xuzhou City, Xuzhou City is a Xiongguan, as the last barrier to the capital in the south, his geographical and political location determines the majesty of Xuzhou City worthy of admiration.

The losses of the Nanqiao border army were serious.

The most elite Northland Three Rates, Pingzhen Army, Chang'an Pro-Army, and the trapped camp were all killed.

Such a huge loss has never been had, especially the three rates of the North are known as the Shura who returned from hell, the military soul they condensed is similar to immortality, but it is similar to immortality after all, it is not really immortal, in the face of an enemy whose number is almost 10,000 times that of their own, it is reasonable that all the three rates of the North are killed in battle.

They could have chosen to retreat, but they didn't take half a step back.

Tens of millions of soldiers are coming to the city of Xuzhou, the spectacle of the scene is shocking, words can not describe the feeling at all, at a glance until the horizon behind are neat human heads, timid in the face of such a battle, Hugh said to resist with a knife, and even dare to stand on the city wall is a problem.

The army of the desolate people kept attacking Xuzhou City, and it had been killed several times on the city wall in more than ten days, but each time it was repelled by the Tang army without fear of death.

Blood stained the bricks of the city walls red, and covered them with a frightening dark red.

Countless people trampled on the road paved with corpses everywhere, and the blood gathered into a river that penetrated deep underground.

On the ground outside Xuzhou, the originally hard ground can now gush out blood as long as you step on it lightly with your feet, which is the soil watered by countless lives.

The iron-blooded atmosphere lingered in the entire Xuzhou City, and the people could not go to the city to fight, but they did their best to help sort out the logistics and take care of the wounded in the rear.

Fortunately, there were enough doctors who came here from the foot of Sansheng Mountain, and it was not a problem to save the dead and help the wounded, which greatly reduced the deaths of the Tang army soldiers and soldiers.

Liang Xiaodao stood on the wall and looked at the army of desolate people who were making food in the distance, this was a rare moment of calm in the day, his face was very solemn, his eyes were full of coldness and killing intent, but at the moment, the enemy was outnumbered, no matter how strong the killing intent in his heart was, he couldn't release it.

If it is just an army of tens of millions of barren people, there are more than 300,000 Tang troops guarding Xuzhou City, and Liang Xiaodao is confident that he can hold on to the three-to-one strength gap, and even look for opportunities to take the initiative to attack, and it is not without a chance to turn defeat into victory with strange soldiers.

But there were still dozens of Five Realms Grandmasters.

The huge pressure of mountains and seas warns him not to act rashly at all times, and the current Xuzhou City is like a flat boat in the waves, which is in danger of capsizing at every turn.

"How much longer can we stay?"

Xu Yingxiu walked to Liang Xiaodao's side and asked softly.

Liang Xiaodao said lightly: "You can keep it for as long as you can." ”

Xu Yingxiu nodded, and the two of them stood in front of the city wall, all of them were filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Xuzhou City can hold for a maximum of 20 days.

This is already the limit, if it is not Liang Xiaodao who is defending the city, it may not take ten days to be broken.

Fan Wujian also walked over, he glanced at the army of desolate people in front of Xuzhou City, there was no fear on his face, but he was a little helpless, if it weren't for the demon queen calamity country, these rabble wouldn't even have the ability to break through the Xiaonan Bridge.

He looked at Liang Xiaodao and asked, "Although Xuzhou City is majestic, there are too many enemy troops, and it is very laborious to defend the siege of the city. ”

Each city has four city gates, and Xuzhou City is naturally the same, the army of the desolate people is divided into four army formations to attack at the same time, which makes the defenders of Xuzhou City quite a headache to deal with.

And the strength of the army attacking each city gate is different, this time the east gate is strong, you need to transfer people to garrison the east gate, the next time it is the strength of the west gate, there is always an unexpected attack technique.

Liang Xiaodao said: "The number of enemy troops is indeed huge, but sometimes the number of large numbers may not really have an advantage, Xuzhou City is only so big, it is impossible for tens of millions of desolate people to rush up, the real trouble is that our people need to rest, and they can divide people into two groups and attack day and night." ”

"The order, the defensive tactics remain unchanged, and another three hundred Youye monks will be dispatched as sharp knives to patrol the city defense, replenish them to all fronts at any time, and prohibit going out of the city to meet the enemy, we have only one thing to do, to defend as much as possible, and one more day will be counted as one day. ”

Liang Xiaodao's hands were propped up on the city wall, and the raccoon was crouching on his shoulders.

The deployment that should be done has been done during this time, and the reason why Liang Xiaoliang is good at defending is because he has a pair of eyes that can perceive everything, he can accurately judge where the flaws in the enemy's military formation are, and can perfectly control and dispatch the attack and defense time.

His gaze was fixed on the army of desolate men in front of him, and those eyes were as determined as a rock.
