Chapter 179: City broken

Views:

Haidu Aling also left a sentence: If the Buddha did not hand over Princess Wenzhao, the Northern Rong allied forces would torture every Wang Tingren severely after the city was broken, and then bloodshed the holy city, leaving nothing to be desired.

There was silence above the holy city.

Yaoying looked at Haidu Aling's letter, pondered for a moment, and said, "Half of Haidu Aling's Northern Rong allied forces were borrowed from the suzerain, not monolithic. He couldn't hold his breath. If I deceived, Maybe you can fool those chiefs..."

Before she could finish speaking, a hand reached out, took the letter from her hand, and threw it into the brazier.

"Don't even think about it."

Tamaroka said indifferently, her tone unquestionable.

The others looked at each other and didn't dare to say a word.

The Northern Army allied forces returned to the main camp, and in the big tent, the chiefs discussed whether the Buddha would exchange Princess Wenzhao for the lives of the citizens of a city.

A chief who often dealt with merchants in the royal court said: "The son of Buddha was murdered by a family because his birth mother was a Han Chinese, and he almost died at the hands of the guards. Even so, after the holy city was besieged, he still led his troops back to defend the city. Zi is a monk, I think the Buddha will agree."

Hearing this, Haidu Aling looked gloomy.

He never thought that Tanmaraka would return to the holy city. If Tanmaraka did not come back, he would have conquered the holy city long ago, and then controlled the entire royal court. The land of the royal court is fertile, prosperous and prosperous. After occupying the royal court, he can quickly expand his troops, order the various ministries to retake the states that were recaptured by the Western Army, complete the great cause of restoring the country, and even send troops to the east to attack the Wei Dynasty...

Haidu Aling's plan was so perfect that he was only one step away from changing the general trend of the world and messing with the situation. Even if he only has five thousand subordinates, he can still rise from adversity, lead his clan to conquer the royal court and the Western Regions, and establish a Northern Rong Empire that is stronger than that of the Wakhan Khan. The direction his long whip points will surrender to his feet.

But Tamara was not dead, and was still rushing back to the holy city at a time of crisis.

After seeing him, the defenders and civilians who had already collapsed in their will, all seemed to have taken a magical medicine, their morale soared, and they seemed to be willing to accompany him to die for the city, seeing their fanatical killing stance.

Haidu Aling clenched the sheepskin map tightly.

One-handed Buddha beads, one-handed steel knives, and one-handed Tanmaraga, let his plan die in the womb.

Every time he thinks of this, Haidu Aling is both angry and puzzled: what is it that supports the rebels and the separated Tamara to come back and defend the holy city? Is the faith of a monk really so powerful

If Wakhan Khan were still alive and knew that Tamara and Sultan were the same person, I don't know what to think.

Now, Tammaraka has once again become a god in the eyes of the people. Only by getting rid of Tamara, the coalition can turn the situation around.

This monk had no desires and no desires. He was exiled by the people, and he resolutely returned to the holy city. His only weakness was Li Yaoying, Princess Wenzhao.

In the big tent, everyone was still discussing, and one of Haidu's subordinates said: "This time the holy city was besieged, and the prince made a clever plan to provoke Wang Ting and the Western Army. Princess Wenzhao is so infatuated with the Buddha's son that she only led a few hundred troops to come to the rescue for the sake of the Buddha's son. Maybe she voluntarily left the city in order to save the Buddha's son!"

"If the Buddha asked the princess to leave the city, the princess would definitely agree!"

The corner of Haidu Aling's lips twitched, sneered, and interrupted his subordinates: "The Buddha will not let Princess Wenzhao leave the city. There are our fine works in the city. According to the news from him, the Buddha was greatly stimulated. People have become indifferent and ruthless, and when they are in front of Princess Wenzhao, they have become a person. He made out to Princess Wenzhao in front of the people in the city, do you think he will send Princess Wenzhao out of the city because of my provocation?"

Everyone was dumbfounded: "Why did the prince make such a request?"

Haidu Aling's pale golden eyes flickered with gloomy light: "The royal court has just experienced turmoil, people are impetuous, the people hate the Han people, and the guards force the Buddha away. Although they are now united in defending the city, there is still a gap."

"They have persevered for so many days, and they have already done everything they can to help them. I think they have forcibly charged again and again these days in order to break through. They have lost a lot of elites.

"Princess Wenzhao is a Han Chinese and a woman of a Buddhist son. The Buddhist son will definitely protect her. What about the others? When they are desperate, are they really willing to die generously? There are always a few people in the city who are afraid of death. When people have different hearts, they can be disintegrated from within.”

"The more reluctant the Buddha is to Princess Wenzhao, the better it will be for us."

"Leave the news out and make the Western Army mistakenly believe that Wang Tingren sacrificed Princess Wenzhao. I think Li Zhongqian will go crazy! If Li Zhongqian is defeated, Princess Wenzhao will leave the city without leaving the city."

Haidu Aling said and clapped his hands: "What's more, I still have a very important person in my hand."

The curtains shook, and soldiers led a woman into the tent with her hands tied.

When everyone saw the woman, their faces were filled with joy.

For the next few days, the Beirong Allied Forces went outside the holy city every day to make noises, demanding that Tan Moraga hand over Yaoying.

Tamaroka ignored it.

The food in the city was exhausted, the horse meat was also exhausted, and the people were so hungry that their faces were yellow and their skin was thin.

Due to not having enough food for a long time, the soldiers defending the city were so hungry that their hands and feet became weak, and people often fell to the ground without warning.

Knowing that they had run out of food, the Northern Rong Allied Forces deliberately buried pots outside the city to make rice during the day, and stewed beef and mutton. The strong aroma of meat was sent to the city by the cold wind. The convulsions were twisted, and some people couldn't stand the temptation and fell from the city head.

"As long as you hand over Princess Wen Zhao, you will be full right away!"

The coalition roared outside the city.

The top of the city was quiet for a while, then there was a commotion.

The next day, the scouts of the Northern Rong Allied Forces found that the Han tribes with their heads wrapped in scarves on the top of the city were missing.

Tamara asked Yaoying to stay in the council room as much as possible, not to go out alone, her eyes stayed on her face for a long time, she lost a lot of weight.

He took out a package and stuffed it into her hand.

Yaoying opened it and saw the sticky thorn honey, she was stunned, and her heart was slightly sweet: "Have you eaten?"

Tamara nodded, rubbed the top of her hair, raised her feet and was about to go out, her sleeves tightened.

Yaoying grabbed him, stood on tiptoe, picked up a ball of thorn honey with her fingers and brought it to his lips.

She knew that he didn't eat anything, and he was afraid that she would be hungry, so he saved food for her every day these days.

Tamara looked straight at Yaoying, her brows were smiling, and Qiushui's bright eyes looked at him expectantly.

She was trapped in this dangerous city with him. She couldn't eat enough, couldn't sleep well, she was always worried, and she had to beware of being calculated.

Tamaroka leaned over and ate the lump of thorn honey with her fingers.

Yaoying smiled contentedly, and was about to withdraw her hand when he held her wrist, preventing her from retreating, and bowed his head to kiss her fingers.

Warm kisses fell on the fingertips, kissing them one by one.

He was wearing a cassock, standing against the light, and his expression was solemn and calm, as if he was doing things in a Buddhist temple.

Yaoying trembled.

Tanmaraka looked calm, hugged her, and turned to go out.

The scouts of the Northern Rong Allied Forces observed carefully, and after three days in a row, they did not see the figures of the Han tribe on the top of the city, and returned to the camp to resume their lives.

The crowd will be overjoyed.

The scout said: "Yesterday when the Wang Ting people broke through the siege, we captured a soldier. The soldier said that because Princess Wen Zhao, the Han Chinese and the Wang Ting in the city had a quarrel, in order to protect the princess, the Buddha sent his own soldiers to guard the council hall every day, so that the people would not be allowed to Approaching to prevent someone from harming the princess. The food in the city is gone, and even the generals are hungry. Princess Wen Zhao and her trilogy can get food every day."

Haidu Aling's eyes flickered.

These are exactly the same as the detailed information. It seems that Tamara is indeed very unusual for Princess Wenzhao, and there must be people in the city who dare not speak out.

The next day, when Bi Suo, who was wrapped in gauze, tried to break through to the east again, he was surrounded by the North Rong Iron Cavalry.

The other party seemed to be sworn to catch him, and kept biting at the back of the team, chasing after him. He buried his head and ran wild, chopped down several Beirong cavalry in a row, rushed out of the encirclement, and led the remaining soldiers to retreat. The enemy suddenly stopped and made a way.

Two Beirong soldiers escorted a woman forward and raised her face.

When the woman saw Bi Su who was leading the fight, she was so excited that she trembled with excitement. Two lines of hot tears rolled out. She struggled to call him. in the sound.

Bi Suo's movement of swinging the knife was stagnant, his eyes were red, and he rushed forward with the long knife.

The Beirong soldiers laughed, threw the woman on their horses, turned around and ran back to the Beirong camp.

Bi Su shouted loudly and chased after him.

The follower was shocked, and quickly stepped forward to dissuade him: "General, we are running out of people, we must withdraw to the city immediately!"

Bi Su turned a deaf ear, and continued to charge forward, grabbed him in a hurry, and dragged him back forcibly.

They fled back to the city in a hurry, and before they could catch their breath, there was a cry of exclamation from the top of the city, and the soldiers came over with a look of panic: "General Ashina, the Beirong people have captured Princess Chima!"

The veins on Bi Suo's forehead throbbed violently and rushed to the top of the city.

In the distance, the few Beirong people who had deliberately angered Bi Suo just now brought the tied woman forward, and threw the long whip in their hands fiercely. The woman rolled on the snow and screamed: "Bi Suo, save me! help me!"

Bi Su clenched the adobe tightly with her fingers, her eyes blood red.

The people in the city were silent.

The Beirong people continued to beat Princess Chima. Princess Chima cried and cried, begging for mercy, and she was in pain, hovering over the battlefield for a long time.

"General Ashina! Princess Chima is your sister!"

One of Beirong's generals shouted at the city head, "The Tanmo family was killed by the Zhang family, and Princess Chima has only one younger brother like you!"

Princess Chima fell on the snow, covered with bruises and bruises, crying as she crawled towards the holy city: "Bisuo, save me, save me!"

The general Beirong laughed: "General Ashina, our prince met you. In the past, he could let Princess Chima go, but in exchange, you have to hand over Princess Wenzhao. We The prince's words count, how about a princess for a princess?"

Bi Suo looked at Princess Chima, who was covered in blood, with tears in her eyes, her face gloomy as water, and she said nothing.

The general Beirong smiled, drove his horse behind Princess Chima, and slowly pulled out his long sword: "General Ashina, Princess Chima is in front of you now, and her life and death are in your thoughts. ."

After saying that, he raised his long knife and slashed towards Princess Chima.

"stop!"

There was a loud shout from the head of the city, Bi Su's eyes were split, and her face was distorted, "If you dare to hurt her, I will kill your entire tribe in the future, men, women and children, no one will be spared!"

The general Beirong laughed: "General Ashina, you and Princess Chima depend on each other for life. Our prince doesn't want to hurt Princess Chima. As long as you exchange Princess Wenzhao, the prince will release Princess Chima immediately."

He squinted his eyes, the long knife fell, and the blade slashed lightly on Princess Chima's neck, and blood spurted out.

Princess Chima shivered all over, screaming and calling out Bi Su's name: "I don't want to die! Bi Su, I don't want to die!"

Bi Su closed her eyes and turned to look at Tamara.

Tamara stood against the wind, looking at the Beirong general torturing Princess Chima with an indifferent expression.

"Luo Jia! Save Chima! For my sake, save her..."

Bi Suo shouted, cried out, knelt on the ground, and crawled towards him, with a few crisp bangs, his forehead flushed red.

Without saying a word, Tamara took over a curved bow and shot an arrow. The arrow buzzed and rushed straight towards Princess Chima.

Princess Chima shouted and ducked back.

The arrow was cast like a rainbow, and with a swoosh, it burrowed deeply into the snow that she had just been lying on, and fell into the feathers.

Everyone was stunned, and the battlefield was quiet for a while.

The Beirong general snorted coldly: "It seems that the Buddha was so cruel that he wanted to kill his sister for the Han princess. General Ashina, I have pity on you for being loyal to the Buddha. In fact, you are the king of the royal court!"

They made a noise and walked away with the scared and stupid Princess Chima.

At the top of the city, everyone looked at each other, looking awkward, not knowing what to say.

Colleagues who were close to Bi Suo helped him up and comforted him in a low voice. He gritted his teeth, pushed everyone away, and walked away.

The next day, the Beirong people repeated their old tricks, dragged out Princess Chima again, and tortured them in front of the battle.

Bi Su was furious and cursed, ignoring obstacles, and wanted to lead his troops out of the city to retake Princess Chima, but was held back by his subordinates.

On the third day, the Beirong people appeared outside the holy city with the embarrassed princess Chima.

This time, there was no figure of Bi Su on the head of the holy city. No matter how threatened by the Beirong people, Tan Moraga remained unmoved.

On the fourth day, the Beirong iron cavalry galloped to the gate of the city, drew long bows, and fired ten thousand arrows. The iron arrows covered the holy city with an unstoppable aura, and nailed the parchments full of words on the roof tiles. wall.

At the same time, Bei Rong Xizuo, who secretly sneaked into the city and has been spying on the news in the city, sent a letter to Bi Su's room under house arrest.

Soon, a rumor spread in the city: In order to save her sister, Bi Suo wanted to take Princess Wenzhao out of the city.

For Yaoying's safety, she stayed in the council hall all day and never went out. Her part surrounded the council hall, and if anyone approached, she would go forward to check.

Buqu reminded Yaoying to prepare early, Yaoying shook her head: "It's not in the way."

That night, Yaoying was sleeping soundly when the door of the room was suddenly slammed into the sky. Buqu rushed into the room and shouted anxiously outside the curtain.

She got up in a hurry, and saw the bright yellow in front of the window, she thought it was dawn, and when she went out the door, a scorching heat hit her face, and the burning sound of peeling and peeling was close at hand.

The council hall suddenly flooded, and the back building where she lived was plunged into a sea of fire.

It was night, and everyone in the city could see the direction of the council hall was blazing brightly, and Princess Wenzhao, who had half of her dress on fire, escaped.

Tanmaraka rushed back with a cold expression.

"It's General Ashina!" Yaoying's personal guard pointed out Bi Suo with a look of indignation, "I saw with my own eyes that General Ashina's men wanted to capture our princess!"

Yaoying's eyes stopped her guard.

The next day, Tamaroga imprisoned Bi Su, relieved him of his military power, and transferred all his followers.

There was an uproar in the city.

The generals felt that it was not appropriate for Tamara to do this at the moment of the enemy. They wanted to intercede for Bi Su, and dragged their tired steps to the meeting room together.

The personal soldiers stopped them outside: "Princess Wenzhao was burnt by the fire, and the king took care of him personally, so he has no time to see you. Come back tomorrow. If you are interceding for General Ashina, you don't have to come. Princess Wenzhao is injured and her hair is broken. After burning half of it, I was furious, and it was useless for Yuanjue to intercede for General Ashina."

The generals are very worried. Now everyone is hungry, and they don't know how long they will be able to defend. This kind of thing happened again. Wang and Bi Su are both the blood of the Tanmo family, and their relationship is already sensitive... What a mess!

That night, the night was thick, the wind was roaring, the four fields were dark, and the snow was dim.

Yaoying sent away a few generals who came to plead for her, and repeatedly assured that she would persuade Tanmaraga to let Bi Suo go and return to the house. Just as she was about to fall asleep, there was a heavy rain-like footstep outside the curtain.

Behind the felt curtain, a pair of blue eyes looked at her.

Yaoying was stunned for a while: "Bisuo, are you out?"

Bi Suo turned away from her, made a gesture to his followers behind him, and they rushed into the inner room and surrounded Yaoying.

On the top of the city, everyone stood firm for a day, holding a long knife, resting with their eyes closed and back to back, suddenly there was a scream of killing in the roaring wind. Everyone suddenly woke up, thinking that the Beirong people had attacked, hurriedly grabbed the long knife, jumped up, and rushed to the top of the city to take a look.

There are only traps they dug outside the city gates.

Everyone was puzzled, and the screams of killing sounded again. Everyone looked at each other and found that the screams of killing were coming from the city. They were shocked and looked back.

Footsteps squeaked, silhouettes swayed, and fire erupted from the east, west, and north sides of the long street at the same time.

Someone carrying a long knife ran to the dungeon where Bi Su was being held: "Princess Wen Zhao killed General Ashina! Hurry up and save the general!"

"General Ashina assassinated the Buddha! He kidnapped Princess Wenzhao!"

"Hurry up and hand over the princess, or we will fight with you!"

"Hand over the princess! Otherwise, we will open the city gate and let the Beirong people in, and everyone will die together!"

The two groups of people scuffled in the long street, shouting, screaming, questioning, and beating with long knives.

The north wind was blowing tonight, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. Soon the houses in the whole street were burning, destroying the trees and tearing the ground. The flames went straight and illuminated half of the city.

With the red light of the fire, everyone saw two groups of people strangling on the long street. One group was Bi Su's personal soldiers, and the other group were mostly Han and Western Regions. Naturally, they were part of Princess Wenzhao.

Everyone was horrified, sweating all over, not knowing what to do.

In the long street, the two gangs continued to fight with red eyes, and the corpses fell on the ground.

"Crazy! You are all crazy!" The guard was so angry that he rushed down to dissuade him, "Don't you want to live?!"

The night was dark, and the dense footsteps and burning flames surrounded the Royal Guards in the long street. No one could listen to his dissuasion.

Suddenly, the earth trembled, and a muffled rumbling came to everyone's ears.

The guard's eyes widened and he turned back in horror.

The fire started in the direction of the city gate, and the shouting was loud. The soldiers fought with a group of people wearing black clothes. Several people climbed up the ladder frame, turned the noose together, and a heavy creaking sound sounded—the city gate was opened from the inside. !

An icy wind swept into the city, and in the dark night, an undulating black torrent rushed towards the city gate.

The guard was horrified and screamed: "An enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"

However it was too late.

Outside the city gate, on the hillside of Haidu Aling Lema, watching all the cavalry rush into the holy city like a flood, the momentum is broken.

Wakhan Khan is right, dismantling the royal court from the inside will do more with less.

The commander drove the horse to follow him, with an excited look on his face, flatteringly said: "Prince, your plan is really seamless, the details are mixed in the city, assassinate Ashina, put the blame on the Buddha, then assassinate Princess Wen Zhao, and put the blame on Ash. Then, at the same time, spread rumors, arouse the hatred of Wang Tingren towards Princess Wenzhao, and provoke their infighting. Only by careful work can we find an opportunity to open the city gate.

Haidu Aling snorted coldly.

He has been besieging the city for so long, and the psychological defenses of the people in the city have long been defeated, and these tricks can come in handy. After being betrayed by the guards, Tamara lost their trust in Bi Su, and Bi Su and the others could not revere him as before. These consequences were caused by the royal family themselves.

Seeing that the other tribes successfully invaded their coveted holy city, the commander clasped his fists and said: "Prince, you have come up with these strategies, we should be the vanguard! Please let the last general lead a team into the city, the last general will definitely Bring Princess Wenzhao to your account!"

Haidu Aling shook his head, his pale golden eyes reflected the blazing fire in the distance.

"It's going well, I'm not at ease. Let these tribes be the vanguard and take down the Holy City first. I want to see how Li Yaoying escaped from my palm this time."

The generals admired and respectfully responded.
