Now that the people were suffering and dying, Tang Xiao was the fuse that started a new chapter in this chaotic world.
That was why Tang Xiao couldn't die.
Yang Xuyan didn't understand, so he came. But Shi Zhixuan understood, so he came too.
However, Shi Zhixuan did not expect Tang Xiao's martial arts to be so powerful. He did not expect that he would feel threatened by Tang Xiao's subordinates.
Tang Xiao knew this, which was why he dared to release the golden platform. After all, the golden platform was Tang Xiao's trump card.
It seemed like the war would never end. The soldiers were numb.
In the morning, they would climb up the city wall and start fighting. If they were lucky, they could return alive. If they were unlucky, they would die here.
Life and death were not that important here, and human lives were even more worthless.
Geshu Han was a ruthless person, and it had already been three days since he had collected the corpses.
Tang Xiao knew that he couldn't wait any longer. His vision was excellent, and his mental fortitude was better, but when he looked down at the city wall, his stomach still churned.
It was the end of August, and it was still a hot summer. The corpses under the city wall had already begun to rot, and the ground was covered in a layer of white maggots.
Many of them were even climbing up the city walls, and the smell below was so disgusting that it made people dizzy.
The alchemical fire oil was a rare item, a sharp weapon for killing enemies, but it could only be used now.
The soldiers first threw down a lot of wood, then carefully threw down two cans of alchemical fire oil.
He threw the lighter, and the fire blazed.
The smell of roasted meat filled the entire Beiliang City. It was very fragrant, but anyone who knew about it would want to vomit.
Geshu Han stared at the flames from afar, a strange expression on his face.
They were all generals who had experienced hundreds of battles, so they naturally knew how severe this illness was. Rotten corpses were the easiest to develop this illness.
He didn't expect Tang Xiao to be so decisive and use alchemical fire oil.
This had met Geshu Han's expectations, and he had used up quite a bit of alchemical fire oil.
He prayed silently.
"Great Longevity Heaven, forgive my cruelty. The cold is coming. Without the protection of the city, the cattle and sheep will die in the cold wind, and the children will not be able to survive.”
After Geshu Han finished his prayers, he returned to his tent and began to attack the city day and night.
An even more brutal battle of offense and defense began.
Geshu Han cut down all the surrounding trees, and every night, dozens of bonfires would be lit outside Beiliang City to illuminate the night.
Although it wasn't as bright as day, he could still see the route clearly.
This was enough. Wave after wave of attacks from the Turks had pushed the Tang Army to the brink of collapse.
Now, other than Tiger's Mouth, the other places had already begun to send more troops to Beiliang City.
However, there were strong and weak soldiers in the Tang Army. The first grade of soldiers were stationed in Beiliang City, while the second grade of soldiers were stationed in Tiger's Mouth.
Only by protecting these two cities well could the safety of the sixteen cities be guaranteed, and the third tier of soldiers was basically evenly distributed to the other fourteen cities.
These soldiers could barely be considered elites in other teams, but they could not be considered elites in the Tang family.
Tang Xiao could only watch as the vigorous soldiers climbed up the wall. Perhaps in two hours, or perhaps in fifteen minutes, these young men would never be able to return.
The number of casualties had already become a pure number, and even the military commander was numb to it.
The north side of Beiliang City had already been dug out with countless holes. Tang Xiao felt extremely guilty.
The brothers who died on the battlefield were thrown into the pit one by one and then buried.
It was too late to burn it now.
Tang Xiao often woke up from his dreams, feeling helpless.
But this was not the worst. The food supply was cut off!
The brothers in the kitchen had been driven crazy. They searched for wild vegetables and hunted everywhere.
However, even if he managed to kill dozens of wild wolves, it was still not enough.
The citizens of Beiliang City did not have much food left. No matter how much they saved, they could only last for three days at most.
Tang Xiao and the other generals had discussed that if the rations were not there by tomorrow afternoon, there was only one way to get them, and that was to kill the horses.
It was late at night. Tang Xiao hadn't slept for four days and four nights. Under Zi Long's coercion, he finally returned to the marshal's mansion.
He did not rest immediately, but went to the stable.
The Blazing Soul-Chasing Horse was a warhorse that General Huo had personally captured in the Fire City. It could easily travel thousands of miles a day and tear apart tigers and leopards.
This horse was already seven years old. It was a gift from General Huo to Tang Xiao for his eighteenth birthday.
Tang Xiao had already become one with the horse. The soul-chasing horse had followed Tang Xiao everywhere. It had saved Tang Xiao from many dangerous situations.
Tang Xiao stroked his horse, feeling reluctant to part with it. If he didn't receive any news tomorrow afternoon, he would have to personally send his horse away.
A horse was a knight's best friend. If Tang Xiao didn't kill his own horse, how could he convince the others?
However, he was reluctant, extremely reluctant.
The warhorse seemed to know Tang Xiao's sadness, so it nudged Tang Xiao with its head.
Tang Xiao's eyes reddened. He let out a long breath and leaned against his horse, unable to leave for a long time.
My old friend, you may die tomorrow. I, Tang Xiao, have let you down!
