Li Xun was commanding the defense on the city wall. A very young officer strode up to him. Because the city wall was very noisy, the officer called Li Xun several times, but Li Xun didn't hear him. The matter was urgent. The officer

Not caring about that much anymore, he stepped forward and pulled Li Xun hard.

Li Xun stumbled and almost fell down. When he saw the person coming clearly, he became furious. He raised his sword and pointed it at him, scolding him sternly: "You bastard, why are you here if you don't stay in Xicheng? You will die under labor management."

Orders, without my orders, Li Cunxiao..."

This young officer Li Xun knew, his name was Li Chong, and he was Li Cunxiao's younger brother. He was only seventeen years old this year. Half a year ago, despite the opposition of Li Cunxiao and his family, he abandoned civil service and joined the military. He came from his hometown to Wuzhou and joined his elder brother.

Li Cunxiao, Li Chong's martial arts was trained by Li Cunxiao. Although he is only seventeen years old this year, he is already better than his master. In terms of martial arts, he is even more powerful than Li Cunxiao, and only slightly better than Shanqiu, Zhao Wei and other generals.

He is inferior, but he is still young and has huge room for improvement in the future.

Sima Zhong felt that Li Chong was a talented person and asked him to join him as a soldier, but Li Chong refused, saying that he would rather be in the army, where he would have more freedom and learn more. Therefore, Sima Zhao was more interested in him.

After Li Xun returned, Sima Zhao strongly recommended this person. However, due to the emergency of the war, Li Xun did not bother to promote Li Chong, but he kept this person in mind. After all, Sima Zhao was more rigid.

A person who can be valued and appreciated by him. No matter how you say it, Li Chong is a good person.

Before Li Xun could finish his scolding, Li Chong shouted loudly: "Commander, the Tibetans have crossed the Mulang River and are rushing to attack Xicheng. Our side is almost unable to withstand it. The situation is critical. Please call on the commander to send troops to rescue immediately."

Li Xun was stunned and asked subconsciously: "How many people are there?"

"At least ten thousand, and all of them are elites. Their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Generals Li Cunxiao and Li Zhaodi may not be able to withstand them for long."

Hearing this, Li Xun took a breath of air. Fan Zhongyun said at the beginning that Wu'an City's defenses were very complete, there were 50,000 soldiers, and there was plenty of food. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it would be impossible for Tibet to attack with an army of 200,000 people.

There is only one shortcoming in conquering the city in a short period of time, and that is the West City. If Tubo attacks from there, Wu'an City will be in danger. Of course, this is just a hypothesis. If Tubo wants to appear behind Wu'an City, it must rely on

In the Western Regions, Tubo and the Jin Dynasty are mortal enemies, and the same is true with the countries in the Western Regions. It is impossible for the Western Regions people to lend them the road. Now, although the war between the Western Regions and the Dashi Empire has ended, the Dashi Empire has not yet collapsed and is emerging.

The Persian Empire is even more ambitious and aggressive. Therefore, the main enemies of the Western Regions are the Dashi Empire and the Persian Empire. Before the problem in the west is solved, it is impossible and there is no reason for the Western Regions to launch an attack on Wu'an City and provoke

In the Jin Dynasty, there were only three thousand troops stationed in Xizhou, which posed no threat to Wu'an City at all. Li Xun also deployed a large number of special forces there. If there was any trouble, he would know it immediately. Therefore, although Fan Zhongyun thought of Wu'an

The shortcomings and flaws of the city, but they are just talking about it. Even he feels that the west city of Wu'an City will not be attacked by any attack and is very safe. Of course, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the worst, out of caution

, Li Xun listened to Fan Zhongyun's warning, and sent Li Cunxiao and Li Zhaodi to lead 3,000 troops to garrison Xicheng. Now it seems that this is really a life-saving decision.

Shan Qiu came over at this time and asked, and Li Xun told him what happened in Xicheng.

Hearing that tens of thousands of Tubo soldiers were raiding Xicheng, Shanqiu's eyes suddenly shrank, but his expression did not change much. Li Chong was Li Cunxiao's biological brother and was ordered to garrison Xicheng. He suddenly arrived at this time. Shanqiu had already guessed that,

Something might have happened over there in Xicheng, but he didn't expect that the Tubo people could actually appear in the direction of Xicheng and launch an attack from behind.

Li Xun's face was dark and he said to Shan Qiu: "I will immediately lead the troops to Xicheng for rescue."

Shan Qiu said in a deep voice: "Don't make this matter public. The Tibetan siege is very fierce now. Once the news leaks out, the morale of the army will be weakened, which will be extremely detrimental to us."

Li Xun nodded, what Shan Qiu said made sense.

"I will lead five thousand people to rescue Li Cunxiao, and I will leave this place to you."

"It's better for me to go. You are the commander-in-chief, how can you leave the command site so easily."

Li Xun shook his head: "Stop arguing. I am here, and I am under your command. You are the actual commander, and I cannot do without you here."

After that, Li Xun patted Shan Qiu on the shoulder, then gathered the troops of Hu Xian and Huang Liangyi, and borrowed a thousand cavalry from Gao, for a total of more than 5,300 people, and ordered all the troops

, and immediately rushed to Xicheng.

"Boss Li, what happened?"

The thousand cavalry lent by Gao were commanded by Li Xiao. Facing his inquiry, Li Xun looked gloomy and did not say a word. Seeing that Li Xun did not speak, Li Xiao did not ask more questions.

On the way, I happened to meet Sima Zhong. When he saw Li Xun, he said angrily: "The Tubo army is attacking the city. Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Sima Zhong, you are old, rest at home."

"fart."

Sima Zhong was furious, pointed at Li Xun and shouted loudly: "If I don't take three or five of his Tubo heads, I will be looked down upon by you."

After saying that, Sima Zhong angrily led dozens of soldiers and rode towards the city wall.

Li Xiao chuckled and said, "Boss Li, you are usually very respectful and polite to Sima Zhong, why did you say those words?"

Li Xun shrugged his shoulders: "No one knows Sima Zhong's temper. I can't stop him even if I say nothing. In this case, it's better to say some exciting words to stimulate the murderous intention in his heart."

After that, Li Xun shouted loudly to the left and right: "Run to Xicheng as quickly as possible."

The situation on Li Cunxiao's side was already very critical. If these 10,000 Tubo soldiers were ordinary, Li Cunxiao could still hold on even though he only had 3,000 soldiers. However, these 10,000 Tubo soldiers were not ordinary, but the Tubo Guards.

Among the elite, 100,000 Guards, there are 20,000 Yellow Shirts, all wearing yellow armor. They were selected from all over the country by the previous generation Zampuni Sonmagon and took several years to build up. They are extremely powerful in combat.

In this Longyou war, Gewa only brought 5,000 men with him, and the rest stayed at home. It wasn't until he entered the western part of Longyou that he decided to mobilize this army in order to capture Wu'an City.

army.

In just half an hour, Li Cunxiao's three thousand troops had already suffered more than half of their casualties. They were forced to retreat to a passage about two hundred meters wide. This was the last line of defense. Once this was broken through by the Tibetans, the Tibetans' army would march straight in and attack Wu'an City.
