At this time, the main force and attention of the Xia army were outside the Xicheng Gate. Li Shimin took advantage of this and suddenly sent a powerful general Xue Wance to lead 5,000 elite troops to raid the Nancheng Gate. There were not many defenders on the Nancheng Gate, and in a short while, there were dangers everywhere.

At this moment, a Xia army reserve team suddenly appeared on the city wall to block the Tang army, and the fierce offensive of the Tang army was suddenly curbed. Xue Wance was very unwilling to accept it and went to the front line to lead the army to attack fiercely. The situation was

It was very intense, but the Tang army could never break through the Xia army's defense.

Li Shimin saw this situation from afar and couldn't help but smile: "The King of Liao is really worthy of his reputation! I guess he has prepared a reserve team to deal with emergencies!" He paused, "I want to see if he still has it in his hands now.

The reserve team?" Then he ordered another general, Hou Junji, to lead another five thousand troops to raid the East City Gate.

Zhang Lang had no reserve team in his hands. The five thousand troops led by Hou Junji made the East City Gate shaking. The defenders on the city wall were struggling and could not resist it.

Suddenly, the east city gate opened wide! With the horse's hooves roaring, more than a hundred war cavalry rushed out of the city gate! The horses were like dragons and people were like tigers, and the leading general was Zhang Lang himself! More than a hundred war cavalry rushed into the middle of the Tang army and killed them.

The Tang army was full of flesh and blood! The Tang army did not expect that the opponent would dare to take the initiative and was caught off guard. Five thousand soldiers and horses were impulsive by more than a hundred cavalry of the opponent! Hou Junji was shocked and led his relatives to his own

The soldiers faced the battle, but as soon as they were in the battle, they were chopped off by Zhang Lang's sword energy and rescued by several personal soldiers in a hurry! Zhang Lang was slightly surprised. He originally intended to kill the enemy with one sword to establish his authority, so

Zhang Lang used nine success powers in Yidao, but he didn't expect that Hou Junji was so skillful in martial arts that he could barely catch it. Although he was shot down by Yidao and suffered heavy injuries, he was not in danger of life.

Hou Junji was shot down and off the horse. The Tang army was shocked and could no longer resist. He was defeated and fell like a mountain! Zhang Lang led more than a hundred men to rush and chase after several miles before he withdrew his troops and returned to the city. Dongcheng Gate

The crisis was lifted.

Hou Junji led the defeated general back to Li Shimin, and said with shame: "The last general has humiliated his mission and frustrated his military power. Please punish him!"

Li Shimin looked careless and said, "That's how famous the King of Liao is, it's not embarrassing to defeat him. If he conquered Changle like this, wouldn't the King of Liao be frustrated?" Then he paid attention.

When Hou Junji had blood on his body, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "I just saw Junji being chopped off the horse by Zhang Lang. Is it important to be injured?" Hou Junji couldn't help but look scared and said, "Thank you, Second Master,"

Care, the injury of the general is nothing serious!" "Well. That's good."

The Tang army attacked for a whole day and could not break through the Xia army's defense. Seeing that the sun set and the sky was getting dark, Li Shimin ordered the troops to withdraw and return to the camp.

On the city wall, the Xia army officers and soldiers experienced a fierce battle, and everyone felt exhausted. After resting, cleaning the battlefield, the ones responsible for the alert were responsible for the alert.

Zhang Lang returned to Dou Xianniang's side. Dou Xianniang was talking to the generals. When she saw Zhang Lang coming, her face immediately smiled like a spring flower. Then she gave orders to the generals, and the generals

Holding his fists and leaving in a hurry. Dou Xianniang ran to Zhang Lang, looking at Zhang Lang with her eyes, and she was full of colorful colors, and she said with infinite admiration: "Brother is really brave! She led more than a hundred people to defeat Hou Junji's

Five thousand army! If it weren’t for the elder brother, Changle would be in danger today!”

Zhang Lang smiled and said indifferently: "It's nothing great to catch them off guard." However, Dou Xianniang obviously didn't think so, and her eyes looked at him with infinite admiration.

The two of them walked along the city wall, and Zhang Lang asked, "What is the loss in today's battle?" Dou Xianniang looked solemn and said, "The combat power of the Tang army is indeed extraordinary! In today's battle, our army is firm.

I defended the defense line, but the casualties exceeded 3,000! There were 1,500 dead, which was really beyond my previous estimate! I was only worried..." Dou Xianniang didn't continue to say anything, but her expression was

More solemn than just now.

Zhang Lang understood what Dou Xianniang meant and thought, "It will take Wu Yunzhao and the others two or three days to arrive, and we will have to hold on for at least two or three days." Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although the Tang army has strong combat power, it is

It should be no big problem to resist for two or three days. As long as Wu Yunzhao and the others arrive, they can save Changle. Don’t forget that Xiong Kuohai has led the subsequent 100,000 troops on the road." Dou Xianniang couldn’t help but smiled slightly, and her heart surged in her heart.

It feels like relying on me, and I just feel that with my elder brother as a support, he doesn’t have to worry about anything!

The two continued to walk on the city wall, but no longer spoke, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

At this time, a female guard under Dou Xianniang rushed over to report: "Your Highness, the Queen, summoned Your Highness the Princess." Dou Xianniang didn't dare to delay when she heard her mother's call, and quickly said to Zhang Lang: "Brother,

I'll go to see my mother!" Zhang Lang nodded and said, "You go. I'm here, you don't have to worry." Dou Xianniang smiled sweetly and immediately led a group of female guards.

Zhang Lang smiled slightly as Dou Xianniang left behind. Then he turned around and looked at the brightly lit Tang army camp outside the city. He saw that there was silence in the Tang army camp, and the Tang army officers and soldiers should have rested. This day

Although the Tang army had the upper hand in the battle, they were still very tired. Zhang Lang couldn't help but frown slightly and muttered to himself: "Li Shimin, what tricks will you do next?" Then his heart moved and he smiled and said: "

Are you besieging the city to attack reinforcements?" Zhang Lang felt that if it were him, he would not be in a hurry to break through Changle at this time, but used Changle as bait to attract reinforcements, but ambush the opponent's reinforcements. Once the reinforcements are broken, he can attack the city again.

It's easy.

When Zhang Lang thought of this, he immediately turned around and said to Qin Qing who was following him: "Sister Qin, immediately Feige sent a letter to inform Wu Yunzhao, asking him to bypass the road and come to Changle to strictly prevent his opponent from ambushing." Qin Qing pointed out

Nodded, and immediately asked his master to take out the paper and pen, quickly wrote a note, and then came to Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang looked at the content of the note and confirmed it was correct, so he took out his own seal and sealed it.

He put a stamp on it, and then returned the note to Qin Qing. Qin Qing asked his subordinates who were carrying the pigeon cage to come up, took out a carrier pigeon, tied the note to the feet of the carrier pigeon, and then released the carrier pigeon.
