Chapter 244

    The next day.


    Xiangcheng.


    The Tang sergeant who fought all night, regardless of fatigue, repaired the city wall. The Turkic camp is on the other side of the horizon.


    Li Wanqing stood at the head of the city, staring at the white fish belly in the East, and then looked back at the wounded soldiers and the houses burned out by the quickfire. She couldn''t help feeling sad.


    Last night, the Turkic soldiers attacked at night. Although the casualties were heavy, Li Wanqing knew that if the Turks attacked, Xiangcheng would not be protected.


    At this time, the Tang army was not much better. The original 5000 soldiers lost more than half of them overnight.


    Now only two thousand people can fight.


    The Turkic soldiers retreated inexplicably, but it cast a shadow on Li Wanqing''s heart.


    It''s not that they are afraid, but that they have better strategies.


    "Captain Li, we can''t fight. Run away."


    A young man''s voice sounded behind him.


    Hearing the speech, Li Wanqing turned her head when she was cold on the jade surface.


    At the eye of the eye, the people of Xiangcheng did not know when they had gathered and stood under the city.


    A fat man looked frightened and looked at himself with begging eyes.


    Li Wanqing knew this man. He was the richest man in Xiangcheng. Last time, he traveled around Mingchuan mountains and just avoided the war. This time, he was greedy for the harvest of that season and got involved in the war.


    In the face of a great disaster, each fly!


    This person did express this incisively and vividly, but there is no reason to blame. After all, these are the people in the city. When the great disaster comes, they have the freedom to choose.


    Li Wanqing glanced at the man and said positively.


    "Dear folks, now the Turkic soldiers are in front of us. How long Xiangcheng can hold it is unknown."


    "If you want to go, I won''t stop you. Please help yourself."


    When the man heard this, he nodded and bowed and hugged again and again like an amnesty.


    "Coward!"


    A disdainful voice came from the crowd. A thin young man, in his early twenties, slowly walked out of the crowd, looked at the man contemptuously, turned his head to Li Wanqing and hugged boxing.


    "Xiao Wei Li, as the saying goes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I, Chen, would like to defend our hometown to the death with Xiao Wei Li!"


    With this impassioned speech, many people responded in an instant.


    "Yes! We are willing to defend the territory of Datang like Captain Li!"


    "I will defend Xiangcheng to the death. Even if the city is broken, I will never surrender!"


    "Fight with Turkic barbarians."


    For a moment, the crowd was excited. At this moment, the male pride of Datang was ignited, and many people agreed.


    Seeing that something was wrong, the richest man slipped out of the crowd.


    At this moment, somehow, Li Wanqing''s eyes became moist.


    In the face of great disaster, the people in these cities are proud to stand on the front line with themselves and jointly resist the enemy.


    But in other words, these people have no combat experience, and now they have no weapons at hand. When they go to the battlefield, they are just slaughtered.


    Li Wanqing said with tears in her eyes.


    "Father, fellow countrymen, I have received your wishes, but guarding the border and guarding the country is a military duty. You don''t have to make unnecessary sacrifices."


    Speaking of this, Li Wanqing looked gloomy, paused, sighed slowly and said.


    "To tell you the truth, this war is more dangerous and less auspicious. Please think twice. If you can evacuate, you''d better evacuate earlier."


    These words seemed to consume a lot of physical strength. After that, Li Wanqing put her hands on the wall, a trace of sadness appeared on her face, and quietly looked at the people under the city.


    There was silence under the city.


    At this juncture of life and death, everyone is in danger!


    Suddenly.


    An old man raised his head slowly, walked forward tremblingly and said leisurely.


    "What Li Xiaowei said is not bad, but he can avoid the first day of junior high school, but he can''t avoid the fifteenth day, and the Turks can''t be destroyed. How can we say peace in our small border town!"


    "At such a critical juncture, why don''t we all work together to do something meaningful for our own home and our country?"


    This statement was immediately responded by everyone.


    "I''ll help captain Li repair the city."


    "I''m a carpenter. I can repair the city tower."


    Watching these Xiangcheng people take out their home objects, move earth blocks and carry bricks and stones, Li Wanqing couldn''t stop tears in her eyes and drank it solemnly.


    "I, Li Wanqing, pay tribute to the people of Xiangcheng on behalf of the Tang army sergeant!"


    After that, Li Wanqing stood on the top of the city and bowed deeply to the busy people below.


    At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city behind them also stood up in awe and bowed to the people.


    In an instant, Xiangcheng, which had been covered with a layer of ashes, became lively again.


    With the participation of these Xiangcheng people, the work of repairing the city walls, consigning the bodies of the dead and collecting arrow feathers has progressed quite rapidly.


    However, unexpectedly, until dusk, for some reason, the Turkic soldiers in the distance did not attack at all.


    For this news, the people in the city did not understand, and most soldiers did not understand, but Li Wanqing knew it.


    Li Wanqing knew that this was not an opportunity for the Turks to refresh themselves, but that the Turks were waiting for an opportunity.


    An opportunity to win Xiangcheng in one fell swoop.


    Maybe tomorrow, a more violent war will break out in Xiangcheng!
