Start from the thief

Chapter 586 Victory or Defeat

Buono finally understood why Cai Bang had such a high opinion of this so-called fake.

Less than ten breaths after Zhao Yushu started charging into the battle, he wanted Cai Bang to quickly roll down from the drum platform and beat the gong for him to call back the troops, but the Tibetans' bloodiness temporarily stopped him.

Ye Ru had a total of fifty Dongdai. Although it was a pity to lose one Baguo, it was not an unbearable price to pay. After all, the capture of Songzhou meant the loss of nearly ten Dongdai.

And if, when his men were charging into battle, he, as the commander-in-chief, was frightened by one person and rang the gong to retreat, it would be a devastating blow to the morale of tens of thousands of troops.

Let me see if you can really kill a thousand cavalrymen by yourself!

Hai Sheng's deputy general sneaked into the secret passage of an arrow tower at the corner of the city wall. The purpose of building this secret passage was to have a chance to seize control of the city wall without anyone noticing in case the city fell.

It's broad daylight now, and it's just a pipe dream to think of capturing the city, but if we kill one or two soldiers in an inconspicuous place and take a look at the situation outside the city, there is still hope.

Then the deputy general saw a scene that made him extremely confused.

The cavalry were fighting in a disorderly manner outside the city, but it seemed that the Tibetans were running around. Where were the Tang army?

exercise?

Even exercises require opponents.

The deputy general stared at it for a while and finally found something wrong. Why did the Tibetan cavalry fall so quickly? Even if the ground was full of horse pits, it wouldn't be like this.

Then he rubbed his eyes and seemed to see a dragon.

Is it because I haven’t had a good sleep for too long that my eyes are blurry?

A moment later, the deputy general crawled back to the secret passage and ran towards Hai Sheng almost madly.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Three hundred and sixty-seven, three hundred and sixty-eight, three hundred and sixty-nine.

Zhao Yushu was almost numb. Every time he moved the gun and sword in his hands, a cavalryman would fall to the ground. The initial enthusiasm turned into mechanical repetition after knocking down more than two hundred people: drawing the gun, putting the gun away, swinging the sword, and putting the sword away.

Compared to Zhao Yushu's numbness, Baguo's mood changes much more. At first, he was disdainful and bloodthirsty, then he was frightened, and then he was terrified. Now he only has one thought left...

Why are the drums still beating on the city walls? Cai Bang, you bastard, why aren't you beating the gongs yet?

The ancient military system determined that, except for a few world-famous troops, there was only one possibility for the general army to withstand 10% to 20% of battle losses without collapsing, and that was that they had no way to retreat.

After Cai Bang entered the city, he considerately helped Baguo close the city gate.

Unable to enter the city, let alone escape to the mountains and wilderness under the city controlled by his own army, Baguo had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure.

The tall horses can bring a far greater impact force than human power, but they also block the space and obstruct the vision. So even though there are thousands of cavalrymen surrounding one person, once Zhao Yushu rushes into the battle formation, only three or four cavalrymen can really get close to him. Can three or four mortal cavalrymen kill a great monk of the seventh heaven? Even if Zhao Yushu is really only at the third heaven, he will be fine before his strength is exhausted.

Zhao Yushu waved his hand, but felt something was wrong, and his sword missed.

Then Zhao Yushu tensed his muscles, preparing to deal with the attack that should have followed his mistake, and then nothing happened.

Zhao Yushu looked up blankly and found that except for a few war horses that had lost their owners, there was no one around him.

Finished killing?

Zhao Yushu blinked and asked, "What number did you count to just now?"

That’s right, four hundred and seven.

At the city gate, the cavalrymen had huddled together, with only fear in their eyes.

The war drums stopped at the right moment.

"Damn, I didn't expect him to be so good at fighting!"

Cai Bang spat fiercely on the ground, reached out to pick up the gong and was about to strike it.

"slow!"

Buno stopped him.

"Chief, there's no point in fighting any further. Bago has been frightened silly."

Bago was indeed frightened. Ever since he took command of the army alone, he had been going smoothly. When he fought against the small countries in the Western Regions, it was always his cavalry that chased and attacked others. When had he been forced to this point!

And the other party is alone!

"what is his name?"

"Li Gui."

"What a lousy name! Li Gui!"

Bu Nuo stood on the top of the city wall, looking at Zhao Yushu who was shaking off the blood beads on the sword, and shouted loudly.

"Who are you?"

"Tubo Yeruruben, Buno."

Oh, it turns out to be Doji’s father.

"What do you mean, continue?"

"If you want to continue, I will be shameless for once and ask an inner scene to give you a ride."

Damn, so shameless.

"But you have fought so hard to reach Songzhou. What do you want to do? Considering your bravery, I can give you some reward if it is not excessive."

"retreat."

"impossible."

"Then release all the Tang soldiers still alive in the city, including the prisoners."

Bu Nuo sneered: "If I dare to let them go, do they dare to come out?"

Zhao Yushu also sneered: "Why, your words as Ye Ruru are so untrustworthy?"

Buono choked.

"Mingjin."

The sound of gongs rang out, and the gate of Songzhou slowly opened. Baguo and the remaining 500-odd riders under his command rushed into the city in a disorderly manner as if they had been pardoned. On their side, two great monks guarded the gate on the left and right to prevent Zhao Yushu from suddenly launching an attack and breaking into the city gate.

"Li Gui, is this your only request?"

"I would like to add a few more, but you said no."

Bruno laughed loudly: "Li Gui, what position do you hold in the Tang army?"

Zhao Yushu scratched his bald head through his headscarf. Now there were some stubbles on his head, and it felt a little itchy.

"One in white."

"Come into the city, and when I take Chang'an, I will grant you the title of prefect, how about that?"

Zhao Yushu opened his mouth and said, "Prefect?"

"With your cultivation level, it will probably take some time for you to become a governor in the Tang Kingdom."

"Indeed, being a governor here is the seventh highest level of success."

"how?"

"No way."

With a "ha" sound, Cai Bang held his stomach and laughed.

Bu Nuo glared at him fiercely and said, "Send an order, tell those rats to get out of Songzhou before the sun sets. They have one night to escape. At dawn tomorrow, no one will be left alive!"

Cai Bang looked at Bu Nuo in surprise: "Where is Li Gui?"

Bu Nuo sneered and turned his head again: "Li Gui, when the sun comes out tomorrow, there will be a Nei Jing chasing you. Run, run to Chang'an, run to Yizhou, just run."

Cai Bang was horrified: "Chief, you promised me."

"What did I promise you? You can bet on your own. When have I ever bet with you? I have never been so kind in just one night."

Bu Nuo turned and walked down the city wall. A sharp voice came from afar: "How dare a mere man humiliate my Tubo like this? He still wants to live? If he can really ask Nei Jing to protect him, then I will spare his life. Cai Bang, don't forget that you are Ye Ru's warrior!"

Zhao Yushu listened to Bu Nuo's words and snorted, "Send an internal agent to kill me? How shameless!"
