Martial Sage

Chapter 245: I’m Sorry

After a day and night of raids, at dusk, Tang Hao led 20,000 soldiers and camped on the spot. There was only one day’s trip in Xiangcheng.

The art of war is clouded. If you travel three hundred miles a day, you must be the general.

In the face of Xiangcheng that had already started the war, Tang Hao didn’t dare to be careless, let alone approach Xiangcheng with a group of exhausted army as he had done a few days ago.

At this moment, Tang Hao prayed in his heart that five thousand soldiers could hold Xiangcheng. Now, the best news is that there is no news from Xiangcheng that the scouts have.

After all, there is no news, which means that Xiangcheng has not been breached at least so far.

However, things backfired.

Just half an hour before the army rested, a fast horse galloped up.

The voice has arrived before the person arrives.

“General, Xiangcheng urgent report!”

Hearing this, Tang Hao’s heart clenched, his brows furrowed.

Is Xiangcheng already broken?

“Say it!”

The scout wiped the sweat on his face, panting heavily, said.

“Last night, more than ten thousand Turkic soldiers attacked Xiangcheng. Fortunately, Li Xiaowei stood up to resist, blocked the offensive, and saved Xiangcheng.”

Xiangcheng was not broken, and Tang Hao’s heart slowly relaxed.

Li Wanqing has always had a strong mind. With her garrison, Tang Hao felt more at ease, but in a blink of an eye, there was a burst of heart-wrenching pain.

As far as Huo Gong is concerned, there have been very few before, and the battle must have been quite tragic.

No one in Datang knew about the marriage of Li Wanqing and Tang Hao.

For the newlyweds, Xiangcheng is now in danger, and Mrs. Tang Hao is still struggling to defend Xiangcheng.

For a while, several generals looked at Tang Hao, waiting for his decision to launch the military order.

Tang Hao raised his head slightly, looked at those earnest eyes, pondered for a moment, said.

“The whole army is rectified, and after a stick of incense, it will be pulled out to save Xiangcheng!”

…

Deyang Zhongjun’s big account.

Li Jing stood in front of the map, analyzing the situation with several lieutenants.

Suddenly, the voice of a scout came from the end of the military account.

The voice sounded exhausted, even a little lack of breath.

Hearing this, everyone in the military tent changed their expressions slightly and turned to stare at the entrance of the tent.

For a moment, a figure of a scout came in.

At first glance, the scout was dressed up, and everyone in the military account suddenly changed their faces.

At this time, the scout Tou had already slanted to one side, and the armor on his body was broken, and there were even some burnt marks in some places, and a few scorched black faces reflected on the dusty face, looking particularly embarrassed.

This is the Xiangcheng scout who has experienced the war last night, and when the war ceases, he will rush to Xiangcheng non-stop.

As soon as the scout entered the account, he seemed to be unsteady, fell to his knees, and said breathlessly.

“Da…Great commander, the crisis in Xiangcheng! More than ten thousand Turkic soldiers…The fire attacked Xiangcheng. Although the city was defended, the Turkic soldiers were still camping ten miles away. All the soldiers in the city, the people are in danger!”

Seeing the appearance of the scout, Li Jing was shocked and suddenly stood up from his seat.

After listening to the scout’s urgent report, Li Jing’s expression suddenly changed. He did not expect that Xiangcheng had experienced such a tragic battle overnight.

After a while, Li Jing waved his hand slightly and asked the guard at the front of the military account to wait for the scout to rest.

At this moment, shock, worry, and anxiety came to my heart.

Cheng Chumo’s face was the same as Li Jing’s, and it became extremely ugly.

Although he has always been fighting for Tang Hao’s son-in-law, Li Wanqing is the married wife of his friend Tang Hao after all, so falling into such a dangerous situation is something he doesn’t want to meet.

What’s more, this Li Wanqing is the only daughter of Li Jing. If there is a mistake, this Li Mansion can be regarded as endless.

Looking at Li Jing who was pacing back and forth, Cheng Chumo asked tentatively.

“Marshal, it is better to send a team of 20,000 soldiers to rescue Li Xiaowei. At least it can alleviate the danger in Xiangcheng.”

Cheng Chumo felt a little regret when he said this.

Actually, it was not because I was going to rescue the female general, but because Xiangcheng and Deyang were separated by thousands of miles. This scout changed two horses without rest, and it took nearly a day.

Now even if Deyang intends to rush to help, he is afraid it is too late.

Hearing this, Li Jing slowly stopped, a touch of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and sighed.

“It’s just a vain effort to increase staff now.”

Li Jing, unbearable, took a step forward, half kneeling on the ground, cupped fist said.

“Marshal! This is your only daughter. The final general is willing to lead a team to go personally! Even if Xiangcheng is broken, the final general will definitely rescue Lieutenant Li.”

He was worthy of being a military god, and his soldiers were loyal. This lieutenant took the lead. Three lieutenants immediately stood up and knelt down to petition. They also wished to rescue Li Wanqing in person.

Seeing this situation, Li Jing felt relieved.

But the war is imminent, as the commander of the three armies, any decision will affect the lives of these tens of thousands of people.

Li Jing waved his hand.

“At this time the battle is imminent and the two armies are facing each other. Datang’s soldiers are already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Every move is a matter of life and death. How can you allow you to be so arrogant and move troops at will!”

“I think that Jie Li Khan attacked Xiangcheng. It must have used Tang Hao’s suit. I want us to divide our forces and create a greater advantage for the front line.”

As soon as he said this, the big account fell into silence.

The original inferior front line, if it were not for Li Jing’s prestige and deterrence, I am afraid that after yesterday’s temptation, the Turkic army had already launched an offensive.

If the troops were to be divided up now, even if Li Jing was there, it would be hard to say whether he could restrain the Turkic army.

Finally, Li Jing clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, red eyes, and said in a deep voice.

“Without father and son on the battlefield, there will inevitably be sacrifices. It is my daughter, Li Jing, who should understand this. It is her mission to defend Xiangcheng. Everything is left to fate!”

Having said that, Li Jing slowly turned around and cast his gaze on the map again.

Cheng Chu silently looked at the figure from behind and saw the Huafa. For a moment, he felt that the Great Tang Army God was a bit old again.

Facing this difficult decision, whether it was Cheng Chumo or the lieutenants sitting there, they all respected the Great Tang Army God for a while.
