Chapter 53 Reinforcements

Tang Chao laughed: "Very good, I'll try shooting him with an arrow!"

He took the bow from Li Bai's hand, took the arrow, and shot it down. It was tilted and weak, and his accurate head was even worse. It was almost a hundred steps away from Lang Zhengxuan. When the soldiers in the city saw it, they all felt interesting and laughed.

The Tang Dynasty wanted this effect. He quickly shot the second arrow in his hand diagonally. This time, he made a little weird on the arrow and attached the bottle of anesthetic medicine that had been prepared to the arrow. This time it was a little accurate, but it was still more than ten steps across Lang Zhengxuan, and it was completely out of order. The arrow technique was actually ridiculously poor.

Lang Zhengxuan laughed: "Boy, I'll stand here without an arrow. If you force me to move, then I will lose!" I thought to myself, if you dare to take out such an arrow, wouldn't it be that I'll laugh at others' mouths?

But as soon as he said this, he suddenly felt dizzy and a dizzy moment. It turned out that the anesthetics of the Tang Dynasty had taken effect at this time. No matter how good the martial arts skills of Lang Zhengxuan were, he could not bear it.

At this moment, the third arrow from the Tang Dynasty was flying, but this time, the head was surprisingly accurate.

It turned out that the Tang Dynasty had followed a great wise master like Li Bai to practice archery skills in the past few days. Since there was no internal strength, the strength was naturally undesirable, but the accuracy was already good.

Of course, this is Li Bai's comment.

You know, Li Bai is a peerless expert, but he is indescribable to like the Tang Dynasty. Although he has praise for this, it is an indisputable fact that the Tang Dynasty has some talent in archery.

Lang Zhengxuan shouted in his heart, but the skills he had been practicing hard for decades played a role at this time. He forced himself to shut up and prevent the poisonous gas from continuing to hurt his internal organs. He waved his hand and opened the third arrow grid of the Tang Dynasty. He flashed again, and it was about a meter away. He knew that the poisoning was not light, so he was in a meditative position and breathed and adjusted his breath. He never dared to say a word.

Li Bai was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Long Zhengxuan, your body has moved, is it considered a loss?"

The three armies above and below the city saw that the Tang Dynasty's archery skills were ordinary, and they were laughing at each other, but they couldn't imagine why this third arrow forced a master like Lang Zhengxuan to dodge and escape, and could not afford to meditate. Although they were shocked and suspicious, Lang Zhengxuan's body was indeed moving, which was a self-destruction of his oath, so he naturally lost.

Li Gesang and others naturally knew that the Tang Dynasty used tricks again and smiled at each other, and were very grateful. You should know that if Li Gesang and Lang Zhengxuan competed with arrows in fairness, Li Gesang would definitely lose. Tang Dynasty saved his face instead of his father-in-law, and made great contributions.

Seeing Lang Zhengxuan busy breathing and regulating his breathing, Li Gesang took the opportunity to say, "My brother Lang Zhengxuan, although you are defeated, you are thinking about your brotherly love. You don't need to shoot you with ten crossbows. Today, the battle will be stopped. What about the decisive battle tomorrow?"

Sheva knew that Lang Zhengxuan was hit by the Tang Dynasty's anesthetic again, and was angry, but in order to maintain the stability of the military morale, Dai Lang Zhengxuan replied: "Okay, Li Gesang, I and the Taiwei will fight to the decisive battle tomorrow!"

Gong Rong helped Lang Zhengxuan up and returned to the camp. After recuperation for a long time, his body recovered. He said in horror: "I heard from Sheva that the Tang Dynasty would poison it, but I didn't expect that his poison would be so powerful. Sheva lost hundreds of people last night on this poison, which was indeed true." He ordered all his personal soldiers to pay attention to the enemy's poisoning and be ready to block his nostrils at any time.

Because Sheva lost both battles and his morale was loose, he ordered his soldiers to take good care of themselves in the camp and prepare to launch a large-scale attack tomorrow to drag down Li Gesang by a war of attrition.

At this moment, I saw dust rising from afar, and a swagger came over, with a large letter of "Li" written on the flag. However, Lang Zhengxuan finally mobilized his confidant General Li Tie and brought 30,000 troops of the court to help. You must know that Lang Zhengxuan was the Grand Marshal of Nanzhao, and had prestige in the army and imprisoned all the ministers and ministers in the court. Under such circumstances, Li Tie and others were finally persuaded by Lang Zhengxuan's confidant and led the army to come.

Li Gesang saw Li Tie's army coming from afar, knowing that the city was broken only in a short time, he sighed to the sky and said, "The destruction of heaven is not the crime of using troops!"

When Li Bai and others saw the situation, they also knew that there was no hope of sticking to it, and their faces were all shivering.

Li Gesang said sadly: "Everyone, I want to quell the rebellion and share wealth with you. But today's current situation is not enough. The only way is to abandon the city and walk. Perhaps there is still a way to live. Otherwise, if you trap the lonely city, even if you can defend it for a while, the strength of the enemy and us is very different. I am afraid that once the city is broken, you will all die in vain with me!"

The Tang Dynasty cried, "Your Majesty, you must not!"

Everyone was shocked, not knowing why the Tang Dynasty said this, so they looked at him together.

The Tang Dynasty knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Dali's city is strong and can be defended. Your Majesty once said that even if there are millions of soldiers, it is difficult to capture it for a while. Why not defend the enemy and tired the enemy's army to wait for the army to serve the king? I think Your Majesty is kind and wise, there must be many dead soldiers in the army. The son-in-law has been happy with the Dharma King for a long time, and the Dharma King was trying to save Your Majesty in the Yi army that day. Now the news of Your Majesty's rescue has long been spreading. The Dharma King is very talented and has always been prestigious in the country. If the son-in-law guesses well, he should rely on his peerless martial arts to sneak into the military headquarters to lobby for the generals of the King's service. Your Majesty also sent a secret confidant to sneak into the military headquarters. It would be of some effect. Your Majesty can hold on for three days. If the reinforcements are not yet reached in three days, it is not too late to escape!"

When Li Gesang heard this, he felt it was reasonable and thought that once the king escaped, all the officials of the court would definitely support him as the king under the hostage of Lang Zhengxuan. Lang Zhengxuan had a great talent. At that time, he would mobilize the Nanzhao army to encircle and suppress us, which might be controlled.

"The Tang Dynasty said it right. The Dali Forbidden City is strong and Shewa has only more than 20,000 troops. However, after the two battles, more than 10,000 were killed or injured, and many fled. Now there are only a few thousand people coming to support the enemy. They are also my former generals promoted in the past. The attack will not be done. As long as we defend it with danger, Lang Zhengxuan will naturally be anxious and difficult to make plans. Three days later!"

When the generals heard Li Gesang's analysis, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy's total was only 20,000 troops, and they each led their own orders to lead troops to stand firm.

The Tang Dynasty stayed by Li Gesang until the generals left one by one, and then said, "Your Majesty, the city is extremely urgent. My son-in-law thought that he must urgently ask the monks of Tianlong to protect the country, so that the protection will be safe?"

Li Gesang pondered for a while and finally said, "Okay, come with me!"

Li Gesang took Tang Dynasty back to the bedroom and ordered the maid to take out two sets of ordinary robes, one of them put on one out of the secret door, and came out of the streets of Dali.

It was March, and the spring was cold. The Tang Dynasty blew his hands and looked at both sides of the street. The market was deserted and the bluestone streets were covered with yellow leaves. Obviously, because of the war, the street market was not prosperous.

Seeing this, Li Gesang shook his head and sighed, leading Tang Chao straight towards the street. After walking about three miles, he saw a high tower from afar, facing Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. It was the Qianxun Pagoda of Chongsheng Temple. This place is also the royal temple in Nanzhao, which is magnificent and magnificent, with an alternative spirit of dominating the world.

Li Gesang came outside the mountain gate, bowed to the little novice monk, and said, "You go and report to the elder Yuanyuan, and say that your old friend Li Luo will visit you."

Li Lu is Li Gesang's nickname, only a few monks such as Elder Yuanyuan know.

Not long after the little novice monk entered, an old monk in his sixties touched the rosary and welcomed him out of the temple accompanied by a group of monks.

He heard Elder Yuanyuan pronounce the Buddha's name and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Li Gesang looked anxious: "Boy has to come!"

Elder Yuanyuan immediately understood: "Please, the abbot is waiting for tea!"

Originally, when the Dharma King was in charge of the place, he was in charge of the place, but once he left the temple, the previous Dharma King Yuan Yuan presided over the place.

Yuanyuan elder General Li Gesang and Tang Chao Su entered the abbot, ordered the little shaman to have tea, and then said, "Your Majesty, please say something!"

Li Gesang briefly explained the current situation and finally talked about the meaning of retrial.

Elder Yuan Yuan said with a sigh: "Your Majesty is suffering from this great disaster, and Chongsheng Temple is willing to do a small effort!"

Li Gesang felt a little relieved. He knew that all the monks in the temple had good martial arts skills. If they had helped each other, they would have great hope for three days of persistence.

Li Gesang thanked him repeatedly. When he left, he took away nineteen monks, led by Xinyue's great disciple Fang Zhi, and returned from a long way.

When the Tang Dynasty returned to the city, the sound of yelling and killing was shaking from afar. The two armies fought fiercely and quickly went up to meet them. Li Gesang cursed: "The untrustworthy people of Sheva clearly agreed to fight to the decisive battle tomorrow. Now that his reinforcements arrived, they actually watched the battle in advance!"

But he didn't bother to scold and commanded the soldiers to fight bravely to fight the enemy.

Lang Zhengxuan's attack was indeed fierce, and it was wave after wave, and he would never give Li Jun a moment to rest, and he deliberately wanted to win with his military advantage.

After several hours of fierce fighting, Li Bai and others gradually felt exhausted and suddenly received assistance from the nineteen monks of Tianlong Temple. They were so shocked that their morale was calm.

You should know that the youngest monks are all forty-seven or eight years old, each of whom is good at martial arts, and two of them are particularly outstanding in martial arts. One is Fang Zhi, and the other is that the disciple of Elder Yuan Yuan Benkong, whose martial arts are definitely not inferior to Tien Ning, the general manager of the Imperial Guardian.

This way, Li Bai, Prince Fuhu and others can take turns to rest, replenish their physical strength, and control the situation.

The Tang Dynasty was secretly frightened. He could not have imagined that the war was so cruel. Looking down at the city, he saw corpses piled up like mountains, but Lang Zhengxuan still ordered the soldiers to attack the city and would never give up.

On the other side, Shewa led the Yi soldiers to attack the city gate and used large trees to hit the city wall. He wanted to break the city gate directly, Li Jun was prepared and ignited the prepared turtle oil and threw it down. The giant wood suddenly started to burn, making the attacking soldiers scream. The turtle oil was taken from the deep mountains of Dali. When Shewa and others encountered water, they tried to put out the fire with water. Instead, the more they rescued, the worse the fire became, the bigger the fire.

Sheva had no choice but to order the soldiers to exit the fire cave first and then plan for different methods.

On that day and night, Lang Zhengxuan did not rest and ordered the soldiers to attack the city day and night, and the consumption on both sides was huge. However, Lang Zhengxuan held tens of thousands of soldiers and did not care about the casualties of the soldiers. However, Li Gesang had some troops, plus the previous losses of 1,600 people, so far, 2,500 people have been lost, and the army in the Forbidden City was only about 2,000, and most of them were injured.

If the monks in Tianlong Temple had not led the way and fought bravely, they would have probably been unable to hold on.

Li Gesang and the Tang Dynasty were both wise and scheming people, but when they saw this scene, they shook their heads secretly, knowing that the morale of the army had been shaken, and they probably could not be defended by the Forbidden City.

The Tang Dynasty was standing beside Li Gesang at that time and whispered: "Your Majesty, according to your opinion, how many more time can our army hold on?"

Li Gesang said: "There is a possibility of a city breaking at any time!"

The Tang Dynasty sighed and said, "Your Majesty, Mencius said it well. A real man can bend and stretch. Judging from the current situation, it is very difficult to stick to it for three days. Why not evacuate from the capital now to make a comeback?"

Li Gesang had such a view in his heart. After hearing what the Tang Dynasty said, he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go and order all the generals!"

"Hey, what is that?" At this moment, Tang Dynasty screamed in surprise.

Li Gesang looked along the Tang Dynasty's fingers and saw a dark patch in the distance, with dust covering the sun, obviously a large number of troops rushing towards him.

Tang Dynasty was excited: "Is it because the Dharma King Xinyue came to help us?"
