[-] words have arrived, please check.
"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country?"
Li Shimin muttered, turned around and gave Li Wenhao a kick. Although what he said was good, isn't the current situation a bit unlucky?
Moreover, how did the enemy come here?
Why is there no news at all?
"Lu Wenzhao, after the war, go and receive the punishment yourself!"
"Here!"
Lu Wenzhao also knew that he couldn't get away with this army stick. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, Datang's intelligence leader, he found out that the city was surrounded by the enemy.
What is it for him?
Li Wenhao's refusal to use the knife directly has been regarded as a relationship that has been scrupled for many years.
"How did you go about confiscating the iron objects and swords in the city?"
"Returning to Your Highness, the people and the merchants stationed in Fanyang are very cooperative, but those merchants, especially martial arts, the Escort Bureau is really unwilling. You didn't say the scale at that time, and we didn't dare to be too bold."
Lu Wenzhao said carefully.
"scale?"
"Now that Fanyang City is under siege, no matter who it is, anyone who holds a sword privately will be treated like thieves outside the city. Go ahead and do it. It will be dark tomorrow at the latest. I want to see the result."
"The Minister's Order"
"Your Highness, the Shiwei people are calling?"
Yu Qian stumbled and ran up to the top of the wall. Seeing that all the important officials of the Tang Dynasty, Li Wenhao and Li Shimin were here, he quickly straightened his clothes before going to salute.
"Forget it, you have dealt with them, but can you see their intentions?"
"Return to Your Majesty, no, this group of people outside Zhenbei City, it seems that they are here to die, and they have not shown enough desire and determination to attack the city."
"That's weird, even my Tang Dynasty can't make fun of the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers."
"Don't worry about it just yet."
Li Wenhao frowned and said.
What he is most worried about now is the defense line of the Great Wall. Since the establishment of the Great Wall, it has always been a super barrier for our people in the Central Plains against the grasslands. If the defense line of the Great Wall is lost, it will be a big problem.
The offense and defense between us and other races will change. If the enemy is sitting on the Great Wall, we will be trapped in the Central Plains, and we have the right to take the initiative to attack. If we want to win the game, we can only pile down the Great Wall with human lives.
"Your Highness, it's best to end this battle quickly, these guys eat people."
"I know"
Li Wenhao frowned.
It can be said that the house is leaking and it is raining at night. The safest way is to wait for the teachers of the kings from all over the place, but these guys cannibalize people, and he doesn't want the people in Hebei Province to become food in the mouth of this group of aliens.
"Forget it for now, Guo Jia, Yu Qian, Xun Yu, you guys do a good job in intelligence analysis and find out the real purpose of the enemy for me as soon as possible, and don't worry about the rest."
"Lu Wenzhao, send Xinying and tell Xu Da to divide his troops. Some will guard Yanmen Pass, and some will be quickly transferred to the Valley of the Dead for me to block the enemy's westward advance. I'm afraid their real goal is the Central Plains and Chang'an."
"Here."
After thinking for a while, Li Wenhao turned to look at Li Shimin beside him.
"Old man, tomorrow during the day, I will take the owl ghost army out to test the fighting power of this group of people."
"Be careful."
"Ok!"
Li Wenhao nodded, and just stood at the top of the city, looking at the enemies below the city and the sky that was getting brighter, his heart was full of melancholy.
He doesn't care about the enemy in front of him. To put it bluntly, if he is more ruthless, he will give up the Siping land directly, let Li Cunxiao return to his teacher, and let Ran Min guard Liaodong. This person is simply not enough to get between the teeth.
However, the problem is that there has been no news from Yanmen Pass. This is secondary, and the main thing is the Great Wall defense line.
If the defense line of the Great Wall is breached, Li Tang, not to mention taking down the entire grassland, even if he took down the whole of East Asia, it would not be enough to make amends to the nation.
From ancient times to the present, what is the reason why the Central Plains nation has been able to lead the world?
A lot of credit should be attributed to the Great Wall built by Qin Shihuang. Without the Great Wall, the Central Plains has always been exposed to the horseshoes of the grassland. Let alone development, it is not bad to be alive.
After all, the grassland people belong to the habit of robbers, they can only rob, and the Central Plains people have no place to rob, so they can only develop on their own.
"Are you worried about the Great Wall?
"Ok!"
Li Wenhao nodded slightly, he didn't dare to tell the rest of his worries, but he really didn't need to hide it from Li Shimin.
"If the Great Wall breaks down, I will issue an edict against myself, and I will kill myself to thank the world. At that time, you boy, don't forget to avenge your father."
Li Shimin patted Li Wenhao on the shoulder and said relaxedly.
After all, his biological father and son, at this moment, Li Shimin took everything under his control without hesitation.
"Father..."
"Don't talk about it, you and my father and son, we haven't reached that far yet, I'm just planning for the worst."
"I asked Zhang Liang, Chai Shao, and Li Ji to take charge of the defense line of the Great Wall. Why do you think it is?"
"It's for this day, don't worry, the three of them won't let us down."
Li Shimin patted Li Wenhao on the shoulder and walked down the wall. He didn't know if he was comforting himself or Li Wenhao.
Anyway, both father and son have complicated feelings.
"Lu Wenzhao, send someone to closely monitor the Grand Canal ferry."
"Your Highness, our sentry cavalry can no longer be dispatched..."
"what?"
"Okay, I got it, try to contact Zhou Yu, let his navy patrol the northern section of the Grand Canal, and tell Zhou Yu, let him tell Qi Jiguang, be careful of the enemies from the upper reaches of the Grand Canal, and explain the situation here to Zhou Yu clearly, Tell him that he doesn't need to come to serve the king, he just needs to guard the Grand Canal."
What Li Wenhao is most afraid of now is that there are those with outstanding vision among the enemies. This side surrounds Fan Yang, and the other side directly goes south by water.
The sky gradually brightened, and Li Wenhao finally saw the enemy lineup below.
People from Shiwei, you can tell from their iconic red noses that they are people from Shiwei.
After knowing that they were from Shiwei, Li Wenhao's heart tightened again. It was very simple. They seemed to want to fight, so they had to go through Li Cunxiao's defense zone, passing through the Mohe area and part of the territory of Jiuxing Tie Le. I haven't heard of any fighting in the Northeast.
Even the report sent by Li Cunxiao recently is all normal, so this is too abnormal.
He believed that Li Cunxiao would not betray him, and he believed that Li Cunxiao would not be captured.
So here comes the question, are they really traveling through thousands of miles of ice and snow?
"Order someone to bring up the water truck and store a lot of cold water on the city wall."
"Aren't they anti-freezing? Then I'll see if they are afraid of the cold."
The corner of Li Wenhao's mouth curled into a sneer.
Although Li Wenhao has been fighting for so many years and hasn't fought a few battles to defend the city, it doesn't mean that he can't defend the city.
Among the allusions in history that the weak defeated the strong, there are also many city defense battles, and the city defense battle is the most cruel. Under normal circumstances, three enemies exchange for the life of a defender soldier, which is considered elite.
"Your Highness, do you want to?"
"Tell the soldiers to keep warm in the city and boil more water. As long as the enemy dares to attack, we will shower them with water. First it will be hot, then it will be cold. Let them experience what it means to be in a world of ice and fire."
"Here!"
"Li Junxian, order troops, follow me out of the city, and see how the fighting power of this mob is?"
"promise!"
Behind the city gate, Li Wenhao was all dressed up, looking at the neat owl ghost army behind him, with one stroke of his spear, he slightly pulled off the mask of ghosts and gods.
"Brothers, you fought with me, Li Wenhao, when I was a minor. Now, the enemy has once again attacked my house. What shall we do?"
"kill!"
"Kill them all."
"Okay, then let's kill them all, are you afraid?"
"Yan Wang is not afraid when he comes, let alone a group of savages?"
Li Junxian took the lead and said.
"Okay, then today, our brothers will go to the Hall of Yama to let them know what it means to cut Yama with a hundred thousand banners."
Rumble!
The startling sound of war drums sounded, and Li Shimin leaned on the battle sword on the top of the wall, watching Li Wenhao and the owl army coming out in a file, and clenched his teeth tightly.
"You must come back alive, your two children are about to be born."
Li Shimin prayed in his heart.
And in the inner hall deep in the Prince's Mansion, Empress Changsun brought a group of concubines and Li Wenhao's women, kneeling in front of a Buddha statue, chanting and praying.
"Greatly merciful Bodhisattva, I beg you, please bless and protect my poor child!"
"Being stupid since childhood, after regaining my sanity, I don't have a day's rest for my Tang Dynasty. I am either fighting or on the way to fight. If it is because he kills too much and hurts Tianhe, then all of this will make me, a mother Carry it!"
As the saying goes, a woman is weak by nature, but a mother is strong. This sentence is vividly reflected in the eldest grandson empress.
"Mother, you should also pay attention to your body, your husband is auspicious, and he will be fine."
"That's right, the queen mother, the elder brother of the prince, who is invincible in the world, who can hurt him?"
Li Wenhao's daughters-in-law began to persuade Empress Changsun with one word, and the latter also gradually stabilized her emotions during the persuasion.
At this time, Li Wenhao had already led his army into the enemy's formation.
The entire Tang Dynasty knew that the banner of His Royal Highness Li Wenhao was never a golden dragon flag, but a black flag with ghost characters. Unless necessary, Li Wenhao never erected a banner with the character of Li.
When seeing the owl ghost army and the iconic ghost character banner, the entire Shiwei formation was excited, yes it was excitement.
They didn't know what they heard there, just eat a bite of Li Wenhao's meat, you can gain ten thousand catties of strength, and be invincible in the world.
In other words, their tradition is that if you eat the meat of the strong, you will have the ability of the strong...
Of course, these are all fake.
Moreover, can they eat Li Wenhao's meat?
"kill!"
Li Wenhao took the lead with a yard, and the spear in his hand danced vigorously, as easily as a dragon swimming in water, but the enemies hit by his spear did all fly into the air, and were killed by the powerful in midair. His strength was pumped to pieces.
"it is good!"
"My son is doing well."
"Get up, I will personally beat the drums to cheer for my son!"
Li Shimin snatched the drumstick and slammed it on the fish-dragon war drum.
"Follow me to take his banner!"
Li Wenhao didn't know who the enemy's main general was, so he simply picked what seemed to be the largest and most magnificent flag and rushed over, beheading the general to capture the flag, and since he couldn't behead the general, then take back the enemy's flag.
"kill!"
With Li Wenhao leading the way, the charge of the Xiaogui army can be said to be the easiest. The only thing they need to pay attention to is that Li Wenhao's horse is fast. They need to follow closely, otherwise they will be easily lost. At that time, His Royal Highness will surround many people by himself.
"Your Majesty, I have received two reports from the outside world, namely, Yuan Chonghuan, the general manager of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and Chen Qingzhi, the general manager of the White Robe Army."
"Oh?"
"Bring it!"
Li Shimin threw the drumstick to the people around him, picked up their letters and read them.
Yuan Chonghuan's letter is very simple. He will take 12 Guanning iron cavalry to go south from Yanmen Pass, leaving 3 people and Xu Da's [-] pacers to guard Yanmen Pass.
And Chen Qingzhi expressed in his heart that his 7000 men would not be of much help in defending the city. He would carry out harassment operations in the enemy's rear, trying to find the enemy's logistics supply base, and then destroy it.
"Yanmen Pass didn't ask..."
"Then it seems that the Great Wall defense line is not lost, good, good!"
"Mingjin."
Seeing that Li Wenhao had cut off the enemy's banner, Li Shimin immediately called for money to withdraw his troops. He wanted to discuss with Li Wenhao the plan for the next battle.
Since the defense line of Yanmen Pass and the Great Wall has not been lost, the enemy may come for a quick battle this time.
And they still have to be on guard, what if the enemy can't take down Fan Yang and jumps over the wall in a hurry?
These are hundreds of thousands of enemies, and the damage they caused was even greater than that of Xieli.
After all, Jieli was determined at the beginning that even if he lost, Li Shimin would not kill him. Li Shimin wanted to let Jieli go back to the grassland and fight with Tuli. The fact is the same, but it is different now, Shiwei people...
Why did he make Li Shimin fearful?
The current Datang is not afraid of any enemies.
Just when Li Shimin sent people to call for gold, a pale man with a medicine box on his back walked up to the city with a few apprentices.
"Hey, it's a pity that so many people are about to die under the sword. They should actually dedicate their lives to science."
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Wenhao climbed onto the city wall covered in blood, "Father, why are you calling for gold?"
"look?"
"Huh? Is the Great Wall defense line okay?"
"Yuan Chonghuan is planning to go south at Yanmen Pass?"
"Chen Qingzhi wants to harass the enemy's rear?"
"Um……"
"It seems that the enemy is going to make a quick decision."
In the end it was the father and the son, almost at the same time. Now a thorny issue is in front of us. The enemy wants to solve it quickly, but currently in Fanyang City, there is no capital to fight the enemy quickly.
"Your Highness, Song Ci begs to see you!"
Lu Wenzhao whispered in Li Wenhao's ear.
"Song Ci? What is he doing?"
Almost subconsciously, Li Wenhao fought a cold war. He still remembers the tragedy of the blockade area outside Jizhou Port. Burn clean human remains.
Just one word, miserable.
"I don't know, did you see it or not?"
"Let's meet, after all, he is someone who has made great contributions to my Hebei Province."
It took only half a cup of tea for Song Ci to be brought over. With the same pale and gloomy face and the same thin body, if he stood there without opening his mouth, he would be easily regarded as a dead person.
It was because there were so few features of a living person in him.
"Song Ci has met His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"you……"
"Be flat!"
Li Wenhao just wanted to stretch out his hand to help, but suddenly, he felt a sinister feeling coming from Song Ci, and subconsciously withdrew his hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness forgive me, I have slept with my arms around a dead body for two months recently, and I am not used to dealing with living people."
Song Ci said awkwardly, and then opened her small medicine box.
Li Wenhao subconsciously pulled Li Shimin back two steps, staring at Song Ci warily.
"His Royal Highness, don't be afraid. I heard that the enemy's army of hundreds of thousands is besieging Fanyang City. I have developed a new poison that can help Your Highness fight back against the enemy."
Please look, Your Highness.
Song Ci searched around the city wall, and finally saw a small tree growing tenaciously in the crack of the wall. He opened a bottle, dipped it in with a needle, and then stuck the needle into the trunk of the small tree. After just one breath, the leaves on the small trees turned yellow and fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye. This is not over. In less than half a cup of tea, these small trees fell to the ground withered, and then slowly Turned into concentrated water.
"Fuck..."
Now Li Wenhao and Li Shimin didn't dare to move forward.
They are not afraid of the enemy's thousands of troops, but Song Ci's way of killing people is really...
To be reasonable, they have fought for so many years, who has not been injured?
Who cares to be pricked by such a small needle?
But it was this one that turned out to be so powerful.
"Don't be afraid, Your Highness, this time the minister has prepared an antidote."
"Song Er, come here!"
Song Ci waved to the disciples behind him, a young man came over, and first saluted Li Shimin and Li Wenhao, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have offended you."
He unbuttoned his trouser belt, and then poured urine on the remains of the small tree. The debris first bubbled up a few times, and then gradually evaporated into gas, leaving only a foul smell in the end.
"Actually, this kind of poison, as long as the infected person can hold back the nausea and drink a sip of urine, the poisonous gas will be eliminated along the excretion channel of the body..."
"Is this poison contagious?"
"Infection, this time not only infects people, but also the land, trees, flowers and plants. Simply count, kill all these people in the city, and Fanyang City will become a poisonous city."
Song Cizhi said complacently, not paying attention to the eyes of Li Shimin and Li Wenhao at all.
"You go down first, I can understand that you continue to study poison, but it must not be used on the land of Datang."
"But, Your Highness, I don't have enough corpses and living people to test the medicine."
Song Ci spread her hands.
"It's simple, I'll let them capture a few strong captives for you."
Li Wenhao dismissed Song Ci and asked Song Ci to withdraw. I am afraid that the main purpose of Song Ci's visit this time is to ask him to ask someone to test the medicine.
"Dalang, what's your next step?"
"Let's take a step by step!"
Since the Great Wall has not fallen, they should be the ones who are anxious now. We just need to maintain an absolute lead in information.
"Lu Wenzhao, send an order to Chen Qingzhi to focus on monitoring the enemy's movements first, and use his white-robed army as a scout team. As for the enemy's logistics, don't worry about it for now. As a nation, they can't For decent logistics, it is most important to first understand the enemy's strategic intentions."
"Report! The Shiwei envoy is asking to see you."
"Oh?"
The father and son looked at each other, "Go to the palace."
In the palace, Li Shimin and Li Wenhao were both wearing battle armor, and the civil and military officials standing below them stared angrily at the man holding the seal of Shiwei Dahan.
"Dear Tang Emperor, on behalf of Shiwei Dahan, I am here to persuade you to surrender."
"Persuade to surrender?"
"Do you know how many troops my Great Tang has?"
"How do you know that you will win this battle?"
Li Shimin shouted angrily.
"Emperor Tang, don't think I don't know. You are now fighting with the Persians and Siamese in the west at the same time, and you have invested no less than 80 troops."
"Even if you still have a large army on Hebei Road, how much is that?"
"Li Cunxiao? Yue Fei? Or Ran Min in Goguryeo?"
"If my predictions are correct, your most elite tigers and leopards are riding to the west, right?"
"The 50 blood killing army led by Xue Rengui has also gone to the west?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that since we dared to come, we've made inquiries about everything. Do you see us coming?"
"Under the city is my Shiwei's 50 army, and there are still 30 people on the road. My Shiwei devotes all his strength to support the 80 army. It is a desperate fight, and there will be no retreat."
"Hmph, in my Hebei Road, saying that there is no one in my Hebei Road, are you a bit too contemptuous of people?"
"Go back and tell your Great Khan, quit Datang, Paul and the rest of the dead, otherwise, you can only become nourishment for my land in Fanyang City."
Li Wenhao was really too lazy to talk to this brawny guy.
Hebei Dao is indeed empty now, even very empty, but Hebei Dao has no power to fight?
joke.
At the beginning, the reward for destroying Goguryeo was the three camps of Yongle.
Although the establishment of the Shenji Battalion was difficult, the [-] Battalion and the [-]th Army Battalion have now formed troops, but their combat effectiveness is a bit low, and they are training in the south of Fan Yang. If Li Wenhao wants to, he can use this army.
It's just that the enemy won't be able to attack for a while, so it's better to keep them as a backup and see what the enemy's purpose is.
"In that case, let's see you on the battlefield!"
"Don't talk too much, I cut off your banners yesterday, why didn't anyone come to see me?"
Li Wenhao directly threw out a snow-white banner, which was Li Wenhao's trophy yesterday.
"you……"
"Humph!"
The Shiwei envoy who persuaded him to surrender turned around to leave, but was stopped by the Imperial Forest Army standing at the door.
"Gouging out the eyes, nose, ears, and leaving him with a tongue, so that he can speak clearly when he goes back."
"By the way, don't forget to break his five limbs."
Li Wenhao snorted coldly, and Jin Yiwei took the man down.
"Everyone, offended."
With a wave of Li Wenhao's hand, the Jinyiwei and Yulinjun began to move bedding, tables, chairs and other items to the main hall of the palace in an orderly manner, and everyone who watched was stunned.
"Dalang, what is this?"
"Wartime control, the situation is urgent now, everyone just feel wronged here for a few days!"
"Your Majesty, this is unreasonable!"
As soon as Li Wenhao finished speaking, someone stood up to object, but the objection was invalid.
Li Shimin waved his hand directly, indicating to follow Li Wenhao's orders, and the angry people could only let him go.
"Follow me with the generals above the third rank"
Li Wenhao motioned to Li Shimin, and left with the generals of the third rank and above.
In fact, there is only Luo Cheng left among the military generals above the third rank in Chaozhong.
The rest are guarding the frontier, and then there are Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji. Although they are not military generals, Li Shimin will always bring these two people with him.
"Everyone, it's best not to provoke Jin Yiwei's butcher's knife."
"Until the war is over, no living person will come out of this hall."
Li Wenhao gave a warning, turned his head and walked out coldly.
To deal with this group of people, it's not that he doesn't have a good impression, it's just that the situation is a bit dangerous now, and he doesn't dare to take risks.
He didn't know whether these ministers were of one mind with Li Shimin, but he knew that most of them were not of one mind with him.
Anyway, ironware has already been collected among the people, so there is nothing wrong with martial law during wartime.
You must know that Fan Yangcheng has condensed Li Wenhao's painstaking efforts for so many years. He wants to build Fan Yangcheng into the economic, cultural, and political core of this era and the world.
If Fan Yangcheng was destroyed because of the mistakes there, then Li Wenhao would have nowhere to cry.
"Your Highness, the enemy has begun to attack the city."
As soon as he and Li Shimin went out, they saw the person who came to deliver the letter. Without saying a word, they appeared on the city wall for the first time.
"Master, I will leave the west gate of Fanyang City to you."
Li Wenhao said to Luo Cheng.
"Don't worry, I'm here, the city is here."
Luo Cheng had just left at least, when another cavalry galloped over from a distance, when he paid in the money, he took a closer look, and it turned out to be Qin Qiong who had been disarmed and returned to the field.
"Your Majesty, do you think Shubao can no longer fight?"
"If it's a difficult time, how come I, Qin Qiong, are missing."
"Shubao, you have already removed your armor, I don't want to disturb you, besides, some moth thieves are nothing more, don't take it seriously."
Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, don't say too much, let's do the task. Although the old minister has disarmed and returned to the field, he has spent most of his life on horseback, and the mace technique is not unfamiliar."
"Uncle, you..."
"Okay, General Qin, I will hand over the southern city to you. Where there are [-] non-retiring soldiers, all of them will be under your command. I just ask for one thing. No matter what, General Qin should not go out of the city to fight. The enemy's intentions have not yet been understood. Don't be careless."
"Thank you, old minister, let's go."
"and many more!"
Li Wenhao stopped Qin Qiong who was about to leave, and took out a soldier talisman in his arms. This soldier talisman allows you to control 3 troops in Nancheng. General Qin, I, Datang Sheji, please.
"rest assured"
Qin Qiong put one hand on her chest to signal and turned to leave.
"Dalang, why are you doing this?"
"Qin Qiong followed Wei's father to fight, with countless wounds on his body. Why do you still let him go to the front line at this time? If something goes wrong, why does Wei's father have the face to meet those old brothers?"
Li Shimin said sadly.
"Father, General Qin has been on the battlefield all his life, how can he not participate in this battle that concerns the fate of our Tang Dynasty?"
"As the first Marshal of the Tang Dynasty, how could he just sit back and ignore him?"
"Let's use this battle as the last battle of General Qin's life, and it will satisfy his wish."
"All right!"
Li Shimin nodded.
When the two came to the city wall, the enemy's attack had reached a fever pitch. A ladder was built on the city wall, and the enemy was climbing up like ants.
"What about the water, pour it down for me, and freeze them to death."
Li Wenhao looked at the severe cold weather and shouted.
"Your Highness, there is no water, and it is boiling water now."
"Ok?"
Li Wenhao looked back and saw dozens of cauldrons were set on the fire, and inside were snow that had not yet melted.
"Your Highness, we have mobilized all the people in the city to deliver water, but the four gates and the wells in the city are limited..."
"I know, tell the soldiers, go up."
Li Wenhao gritted his teeth and drank, since nothing else works, let's rely on others.
Although there are a lot of defense equipment in the city, if we open our firepower in the face of the enemy's first wave of attack, it will undoubtedly give the enemy a chance to prepare.
The big killer should be reserved for critical moments.
"Get down!"
Another ladder was erected in front of Li Wenhao, and he stretched his head to take a look. Two-thirds of the enemy had already climbed up. Apart from anything else, with a thrust of the spear and a sudden force with both arms, a ladder was given by Li Wenhao with his own strength. Pick up.
"Dalang, you go to command the battle, don't worry about me."
"Then be careful"
Li Wenhao started to wander around the city wall with his spear in his hand. Everywhere, others overturned the enemy's ladder, but there were too many enemies after all.
Moreover, this group of people was born to grow up in a bitter cold place, and they are more suitable for fighting in cold weather than the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
There is a leather pouch hanging around their waists, which is full of spirits. Whenever they feel cold, they will take a big sip, which can not only dispel the cold, but also make the attack more powerful with the help of alcohol. more violent.
"That does not work."
Li Wenhao shook his head. If the enemy never cared about casualties, Fan Yangcheng would suffer heavy losses if things went on like this.
"How to do it?"
Li Wenhao turned his head and looked around, trying to find a way to curb the enemy's offensive.
"Li Junxian, order 3000 people, follow me out of the city to kill a wave, you can't keep defending the city, sooner or later the enemy will climb to the top of the city."
"it is good!"
Li Junxian had just stabbed to death an enemy who had climbed up, and he echoed, ordered the three thousand owl ghost army of the reserve team, and came to the gate of the city.
"retreat!"
At this time, the street has long been emptied, and now Fanyang City is under the control of soldiers, and all residents stay at home.
With a full retreat of half a mile, Li Wenhao motioned for the front to slowly open the city gate, while he directly led the people to charge.
Now he doesn't know how many enemies there are outside the city, let alone what the city gate looks like, so he can only use this method, which is reckless.
"The city gate is open, the city gate is open!"
Before the Shiwei people gathered at the gate of the city had time to pass on the 'good news', they heard the sound of horseshoes in the city.
"How do they race horses in the city?"
This was the enemy's last thought, because he saw the team that could be called ghosts and gods again.
"Clean up the enemies under the city wall, and try to destroy the enemy's siege equipment as much as possible."
In fact, there is no need for Li Wenhao to say much, everyone is a generation who has experienced many battles, and they all know in their hearts that the three thousand owl ghost army took down the shields mounted on their legs, holding the shield in one hand and holding the spear in the other. Following Li Wenhao, like a group of death gods, began to harvest the lives of these unresponsive enemies.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Li Wenhao was concentrating on destroying the enemy's ladder, and he didn't notice that behind him, a huge crossbow shot towards him.
When he heard the shouts of his subordinates, it was too late to do any evasive actions, and when the crossbow arrows were about to approach him, suddenly, a figure jumped in front of him.
"Your Highness, I can't accompany you anymore, so be careful in the future!"
"Wang Xiaoqi..."
Li Wenhao yelled in grief and indignation, and looked into the distance, where there were actually two bed crossbows. Although they were not continuous crossbows like the Tang Dynasty but single-shot crossbows, their power should not be underestimated.
In the Xiaogui Army, those who can call Li Wenhao as His Highness are all the children of the refugees who were adopted in Huangzhuang. After many years of fighting, less than half of the original [-] boys are still in the army. The rest are either lying in Yanshan Cemetery, or quit the army because of disabilities.
Only these people have not changed their address to Li Wenhao. They have always been called His Highness Li Wenhao since they were young.
They have always treated Li Wenhao as a younger brother to protect him. Although Li Wenhao is very strong, in their eyes, Li Wenhao still looks like that young child.
Tie Wang Xiaoqi's body behind his back with a cloak, Li Wenhao grew vicious, and pointed his spear at the enemy's command platform. He did not see the enemy's command platform when he attacked yesterday, but today, since the war started, , The command system was directly exposed in front of Li Wenhao.
"Everyone, follow me to the battle."
"Go straight to their army!"
"kill!"
In fact, Li Wenhao didn't need to say, even if there was an abyss ahead, it was Yan Luodian, as long as Li Wenhao took the lead, the Xiaogui army would spare no effort to charge.
After all, many of them lived to protect this little Highness.
"Damn, damn, you damn!"
"If you dare to kill my brother, I will kill your whole family, and I will destroy your country and your species."
Li Wenhao, who had been completely aroused by Wang Xiaoqi's death, really wanted to take Song Ci's poison at this moment and stage a human plague.
It's a good thing Song Ci isn't here, otherwise Li Wenhao, who is above him, would really be able to do anything.
"Stop him, stop him for me."
In the command system of the enemy's central army, a person waved the command flag and began to command the army. Suddenly, the formation of the army changed dramatically.
"Long snake array? How could they form a long snake array?"
Li Wenhao, who was rushing into the formation, hadn't reacted yet, but Li Shimin, who was on the top of the wall, could see clearly that the enemy below clearly used the Long Snake Formation.
"Hmph, want to fight?"
Li Shimin curled his lips in disdain.
"Jia Fu, Xu Chu, Shi Chan Master, you three, each lead a cavalry army out of the city, attack the enemy's tongue seven inches, the snake's tail, and the center. After breaking through the enemy in front of you, the three of you form a horizontal Charge and kill, I want to see how many formations these barbarians can put on."
"Here!"
The three of them obeyed the order and each took five thousand riders out of the city, and followed Li Shimin's instructions to attack the Long Snake Formation.
At this time, Li Wenhao also found some abnormalities in the enemy formation. The so-called long snake, since it is a snake, will naturally coil up to defend. Now the enemy in front of him is coiled up, layer by layer, continuous.
"Your Highness, we seem to be caught in the enemy's formation."
"I know."
Li Wenhao stopped his horse for a while to observe. He was about [-] steps away from the enemy's command platform, and before that was the enemy's long snake formation.
"Humph!"
"The long snake array wants to block me?"
"Then I'll let them know what it means to use strength to break tricks, and one strength to reduce ten meetings."
Li Wenhao was originally a brave person, and now that he was so angry, he naturally wouldn't back down.
"javelin!"
As Li Wenhao yelled, the soldiers of the Xiaogui Army behind him took off their javelins and threw them forward.
Immediately, a large open space was cleared, and Li Wenhao also took advantage of this opportunity to mobilize his horse and rush out.
"Strangle!"
This time Li Junxian did not lead people and Li Wenhao to charge, but issued an order to be strangled.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of order would only be issued when he had an absolute advantage. Now that Li Junxian issued this order, the goal was self-evident.
They are going to fight to the death, using themselves to buy time for Li Wenhao.
"Li Junxian..."
Li Wenhao's eyes could already spew out fire. In this situation, these 3000 people must have gone forever.
From the time when the Xiaogui army became an army until now, there has not been a time when [-]% of the battles have been killed.
"Your Highness, we are willing to die for Datang."
Li Junxian roared, and the steel gun in his hand was like a swimming dragon, slashing across the enemy's throat.
"Ah ya ya!"
"An ignorant savage, how dare he fight with an axe and set up a long snake array?"
"Do you know your grandfather, Tiger Hou Xu Chu?"
"Look at me as a tiger devouring a snake."
Xu Chu took a big knife and slashed at the enemy's seven inches. On the other side, Jia Fu and Shi Chan Master also followed Li Shimin's order, and each committed suicide into the formation.
Li Junxian, who was ready to fight to the death, only felt the eyes lighten in front of him, and then the enemies in front of him fell down in pieces.
"General Li, what are you waiting for? Reorganize the army and follow His Royal Highness to take the enemy's central army."
"Ah good!"
Li Junxian is a little down, he still hasn't figured it out yet, how did Jia Fu bring someone to appear in front of him?
"Your Majesty asked me, Huhou, and Master Shi to come over and break the enemy's long snake formation. Don't worry, leave this place to me. Go and protect Your Highness!"
"it is good!"
Li Junxian finally figured out the situation, and quickly gathered his men and horses to chase Li Wenhao.
At this time, Li Wenhao was already in a bitter battle, and after the long-word formation, he unexpectedly fell into another big formation.
At this time, the enemies around him, knives, guns, shields, and crossbows cooperated very well, and he had to be very careful every step forward, and the enemy's shield array was coming towards him little by little, even if he was so fierce that he was not human. In this case, the enemy will be surrounded, and I am afraid it will be cold.
Seeing not far away, the enemy general was waving a command flag to direct the army. Li Wenhao really wanted to throw the spear in his hand, but his reason told him, no, absolutely not.
If there is no weapon, he will really become a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Your Highness, we are here."
Li Junxian yelled outside, and rushed in directly, and Li Wenhao also rushed towards Li Junxian's place with all his strength.
At this time, Li Shimin on the city wall saw the enemy's formation, his pupils shrank, "Eight-door golden lock formation..."
"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country?"
Li Shimin muttered, turned around and gave Li Wenhao a kick. Although what he said was good, isn't the current situation a bit unlucky?
Moreover, how did the enemy come here?
Why is there no news at all?
"Lu Wenzhao, after the war, go and receive the punishment yourself!"
"Here!"
Lu Wenzhao also knew that he couldn't get away with this army stick. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, Datang's intelligence leader, he found out that the city was surrounded by the enemy.
What is it for him?
Li Wenhao's refusal to use the knife directly has been regarded as a relationship that has been scrupled for many years.
"How did you go about confiscating the iron objects and swords in the city?"
"Returning to Your Highness, the people and the merchants stationed in Fanyang are very cooperative, but those merchants, especially martial arts, the Escort Bureau is really unwilling. You didn't say the scale at that time, and we didn't dare to be too bold."
Lu Wenzhao said carefully.
"scale?"
"Now that Fanyang City is under siege, no matter who it is, anyone who holds a sword privately will be treated like thieves outside the city. Go ahead and do it. It will be dark tomorrow at the latest. I want to see the result."
"The Minister's Order"
"Your Highness, the Shiwei people are calling?"
Yu Qian stumbled and ran up to the top of the wall. Seeing that all the important officials of the Tang Dynasty, Li Wenhao and Li Shimin were here, he quickly straightened his clothes before going to salute.
"Forget it, you have dealt with them, but can you see their intentions?"
"Return to Your Majesty, no, this group of people outside Zhenbei City, it seems that they are here to die, and they have not shown enough desire and determination to attack the city."
"That's weird, even my Tang Dynasty can't make fun of the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers."
"Don't worry about it just yet."
Li Wenhao frowned and said.
What he is most worried about now is the defense line of the Great Wall. Since the establishment of the Great Wall, it has always been a super barrier for our people in the Central Plains against the grasslands. If the defense line of the Great Wall is lost, it will be a big problem.
The offense and defense between us and other races will change. If the enemy is sitting on the Great Wall, we will be trapped in the Central Plains, and we have the right to take the initiative to attack. If we want to win the game, we can only pile down the Great Wall with human lives.
"Your Highness, it's best to end this battle quickly, these guys eat people."
"I know"
Li Wenhao frowned.
It can be said that the house is leaking and it is raining at night. The safest way is to wait for the teachers of the kings from all over the place, but these guys cannibalize people, and he doesn't want the people in Hebei Province to become food in the mouth of this group of aliens.
"Forget it for now, Guo Jia, Yu Qian, Xun Yu, you guys do a good job in intelligence analysis and find out the real purpose of the enemy for me as soon as possible, and don't worry about the rest."
"Lu Wenzhao, send Xinying and tell Xu Da to divide his troops. Some will guard Yanmen Pass, and some will be quickly transferred to the Valley of the Dead for me to block the enemy's westward advance. I'm afraid their real goal is the Central Plains and Chang'an."
"Here."
After thinking for a while, Li Wenhao turned to look at Li Shimin beside him.
"Old man, tomorrow during the day, I will take the owl ghost army out to test the fighting power of this group of people."
"Be careful."
"Ok!"
Li Wenhao nodded, and just stood at the top of the city, looking at the enemies below the city and the sky that was getting brighter, his heart was full of melancholy.
He doesn't care about the enemy in front of him. To put it bluntly, if he is more ruthless, he will give up the Siping land directly, let Li Cunxiao return to his teacher, and let Ran Min guard Liaodong. This person is simply not enough to get between the teeth.
However, the problem is that there has been no news from Yanmen Pass. This is secondary, and the main thing is the Great Wall defense line.
If the defense line of the Great Wall is breached, Li Tang, not to mention taking down the entire grassland, even if he took down the whole of East Asia, it would not be enough to make amends to the nation.
From ancient times to the present, what is the reason why the Central Plains nation has been able to lead the world?
A lot of credit should be attributed to the Great Wall built by Qin Shihuang. Without the Great Wall, the Central Plains has always been exposed to the horseshoes of the grassland. Let alone development, it is not bad to be alive.
After all, the grassland people belong to the habit of robbers, they can only rob, and the Central Plains people have no place to rob, so they can only develop on their own.
"Are you worried about the Great Wall?
"Ok!"
Li Wenhao nodded slightly, he didn't dare to tell the rest of his worries, but he really didn't need to hide it from Li Shimin.
"If the Great Wall breaks down, I will issue an edict against myself, and I will kill myself to thank the world. At that time, you boy, don't forget to avenge your father."
Li Shimin patted Li Wenhao on the shoulder and said relaxedly.
After all, his biological father and son, at this moment, Li Shimin took everything under his control without hesitation.
"Father..."
"Don't talk about it, you and my father and son, we haven't reached that far yet, I'm just planning for the worst."
"I asked Zhang Liang, Chai Shao, and Li Ji to take charge of the defense line of the Great Wall. Why do you think it is?"
"It's for this day, don't worry, the three of them won't let us down."
Li Shimin patted Li Wenhao on the shoulder and walked down the wall. He didn't know if he was comforting himself or Li Wenhao.
Anyway, both father and son have complicated feelings.
"Lu Wenzhao, send someone to closely monitor the Grand Canal ferry."
"Your Highness, our sentry cavalry can no longer be dispatched..."
"what?"
"Okay, I got it, try to contact Zhou Yu, let his navy patrol the northern section of the Grand Canal, and tell Zhou Yu, let him tell Qi Jiguang, be careful of the enemies from the upper reaches of the Grand Canal, and explain the situation here to Zhou Yu clearly, Tell him that he doesn't need to come to serve the king, he just needs to guard the Grand Canal."
What Li Wenhao is most afraid of now is that there are those with outstanding vision among the enemies. This side surrounds Fan Yang, and the other side directly goes south by water.
The sky gradually brightened, and Li Wenhao finally saw the enemy lineup below.
People from Shiwei, you can tell from their iconic red noses that they are people from Shiwei.
After knowing that they were from Shiwei, Li Wenhao's heart tightened again. It was very simple. They seemed to want to fight, so they had to go through Li Cunxiao's defense zone, passing through the Mohe area and part of the territory of Jiuxing Tie Le. I haven't heard of any fighting in the Northeast.
Even the report sent by Li Cunxiao recently is all normal, so this is too abnormal.
He believed that Li Cunxiao would not betray him, and he believed that Li Cunxiao would not be captured.
So here comes the question, are they really traveling through thousands of miles of ice and snow?
"Order someone to bring up the water truck and store a lot of cold water on the city wall."
"Aren't they anti-freezing? Then I'll see if they are afraid of the cold."
The corner of Li Wenhao's mouth curled into a sneer.
Although Li Wenhao has been fighting for so many years and hasn't fought a few battles to defend the city, it doesn't mean that he can't defend the city.
Among the allusions in history that the weak defeated the strong, there are also many city defense battles, and the city defense battle is the most cruel. Under normal circumstances, three enemies exchange for the life of a defender soldier, which is considered elite.
"Your Highness, do you want to?"
"Tell the soldiers to keep warm in the city and boil more water. As long as the enemy dares to attack, we will shower them with water. First it will be hot, then it will be cold. Let them experience what it means to be in a world of ice and fire."
"Here!"
"Li Junxian, order troops, follow me out of the city, and see how the fighting power of this mob is?"
"promise!"
Behind the city gate, Li Wenhao was all dressed up, looking at the neat owl ghost army behind him, with one stroke of his spear, he slightly pulled off the mask of ghosts and gods.
"Brothers, you fought with me, Li Wenhao, when I was a minor. Now, the enemy has once again attacked my house. What shall we do?"
"kill!"
"Kill them all."
"Okay, then let's kill them all, are you afraid?"
"Yan Wang is not afraid when he comes, let alone a group of savages?"
Li Junxian took the lead and said.
"Okay, then today, our brothers will go to the Hall of Yama to let them know what it means to cut Yama with a hundred thousand banners."
Rumble!
The startling sound of war drums sounded, and Li Shimin leaned on the battle sword on the top of the wall, watching Li Wenhao and the owl army coming out in a file, and clenched his teeth tightly.
"You must come back alive, your two children are about to be born."
Li Shimin prayed in his heart.
And in the inner hall deep in the Prince's Mansion, Empress Changsun brought a group of concubines and Li Wenhao's women, kneeling in front of a Buddha statue, chanting and praying.
"Greatly merciful Bodhisattva, I beg you, please bless and protect my poor child!"
"Being stupid since childhood, after regaining my sanity, I don't have a day's rest for my Tang Dynasty. I am either fighting or on the way to fight. If it is because he kills too much and hurts Tianhe, then all of this will make me, a mother Carry it!"
As the saying goes, a woman is weak by nature, but a mother is strong. This sentence is vividly reflected in the eldest grandson empress.
"Mother, you should also pay attention to your body, your husband is auspicious, and he will be fine."
"That's right, the queen mother, the elder brother of the prince, who is invincible in the world, who can hurt him?"
Li Wenhao's daughters-in-law began to persuade Empress Changsun with one word, and the latter also gradually stabilized her emotions during the persuasion.
At this time, Li Wenhao had already led his army into the enemy's formation.
The entire Tang Dynasty knew that the banner of His Royal Highness Li Wenhao was never a golden dragon flag, but a black flag with ghost characters. Unless necessary, Li Wenhao never erected a banner with the character of Li.
When seeing the owl ghost army and the iconic ghost character banner, the entire Shiwei formation was excited, yes it was excitement.
They didn't know what they heard there, just eat a bite of Li Wenhao's meat, you can gain ten thousand catties of strength, and be invincible in the world.
In other words, their tradition is that if you eat the meat of the strong, you will have the ability of the strong...
Of course, these are all fake.
Moreover, can they eat Li Wenhao's meat?
"kill!"
Li Wenhao took the lead with a yard, and the spear in his hand danced vigorously, as easily as a dragon swimming in water, but the enemies hit by his spear did all fly into the air, and were killed by the powerful in midair. His strength was pumped to pieces.
"it is good!"
"My son is doing well."
"Get up, I will personally beat the drums to cheer for my son!"
Li Shimin snatched the drumstick and slammed it on the fish-dragon war drum.
"Follow me to take his banner!"
Li Wenhao didn't know who the enemy's main general was, so he simply picked what seemed to be the largest and most magnificent flag and rushed over, beheading the general to capture the flag, and since he couldn't behead the general, then take back the enemy's flag.
"kill!"
With Li Wenhao leading the way, the charge of the Xiaogui army can be said to be the easiest. The only thing they need to pay attention to is that Li Wenhao's horse is fast. They need to follow closely, otherwise they will be easily lost. At that time, His Royal Highness will surround many people by himself.
"Your Majesty, I have received two reports from the outside world, namely, Yuan Chonghuan, the general manager of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and Chen Qingzhi, the general manager of the White Robe Army."
"Oh?"
"Bring it!"
Li Shimin threw the drumstick to the people around him, picked up their letters and read them.
Yuan Chonghuan's letter is very simple. He will take 12 Guanning iron cavalry to go south from Yanmen Pass, leaving 3 people and Xu Da's [-] pacers to guard Yanmen Pass.
And Chen Qingzhi expressed in his heart that his 7000 men would not be of much help in defending the city. He would carry out harassment operations in the enemy's rear, trying to find the enemy's logistics supply base, and then destroy it.
"Yanmen Pass didn't ask..."
"Then it seems that the Great Wall defense line is not lost, good, good!"
"Mingjin."
Seeing that Li Wenhao had cut off the enemy's banner, Li Shimin immediately called for money to withdraw his troops. He wanted to discuss with Li Wenhao the plan for the next battle.
Since the defense line of Yanmen Pass and the Great Wall has not been lost, the enemy may come for a quick battle this time.
And they still have to be on guard, what if the enemy can't take down Fan Yang and jumps over the wall in a hurry?
These are hundreds of thousands of enemies, and the damage they caused was even greater than that of Xieli.
After all, Jieli was determined at the beginning that even if he lost, Li Shimin would not kill him. Li Shimin wanted to let Jieli go back to the grassland and fight with Tuli. The fact is the same, but it is different now, Shiwei people...
Why did he make Li Shimin fearful?
The current Datang is not afraid of any enemies.
Just when Li Shimin sent people to call for gold, a pale man with a medicine box on his back walked up to the city with a few apprentices.
"Hey, it's a pity that so many people are about to die under the sword. They should actually dedicate their lives to science."
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Wenhao climbed onto the city wall covered in blood, "Father, why are you calling for gold?"
"look?"
"Huh? Is the Great Wall defense line okay?"
"Yuan Chonghuan is planning to go south at Yanmen Pass?"
"Chen Qingzhi wants to harass the enemy's rear?"
"Um……"
"It seems that the enemy is going to make a quick decision."
In the end it was the father and the son, almost at the same time. Now a thorny issue is in front of us. The enemy wants to solve it quickly, but currently in Fanyang City, there is no capital to fight the enemy quickly.
"Your Highness, Song Ci begs to see you!"
Lu Wenzhao whispered in Li Wenhao's ear.
"Song Ci? What is he doing?"
Almost subconsciously, Li Wenhao fought a cold war. He still remembers the tragedy of the blockade area outside Jizhou Port. Burn clean human remains.
Just one word, miserable.
"I don't know, did you see it or not?"
"Let's meet, after all, he is someone who has made great contributions to my Hebei Province."
It took only half a cup of tea for Song Ci to be brought over. With the same pale and gloomy face and the same thin body, if he stood there without opening his mouth, he would be easily regarded as a dead person.
It was because there were so few features of a living person in him.
"Song Ci has met His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"you……"
"Be flat!"
Li Wenhao just wanted to stretch out his hand to help, but suddenly, he felt a sinister feeling coming from Song Ci, and subconsciously withdrew his hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness forgive me, I have slept with my arms around a dead body for two months recently, and I am not used to dealing with living people."
Song Ci said awkwardly, and then opened her small medicine box.
Li Wenhao subconsciously pulled Li Shimin back two steps, staring at Song Ci warily.
"His Royal Highness, don't be afraid. I heard that the enemy's army of hundreds of thousands is besieging Fanyang City. I have developed a new poison that can help Your Highness fight back against the enemy."
Please look, Your Highness.
Song Ci searched around the city wall, and finally saw a small tree growing tenaciously in the crack of the wall. He opened a bottle, dipped it in with a needle, and then stuck the needle into the trunk of the small tree. After just one breath, the leaves on the small trees turned yellow and fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye. This is not over. In less than half a cup of tea, these small trees fell to the ground withered, and then slowly Turned into concentrated water.
"Fuck..."
Now Li Wenhao and Li Shimin didn't dare to move forward.
They are not afraid of the enemy's thousands of troops, but Song Ci's way of killing people is really...
To be reasonable, they have fought for so many years, who has not been injured?
Who cares to be pricked by such a small needle?
But it was this one that turned out to be so powerful.
"Don't be afraid, Your Highness, this time the minister has prepared an antidote."
"Song Er, come here!"
Song Ci waved to the disciples behind him, a young man came over, and first saluted Li Shimin and Li Wenhao, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have offended you."
He unbuttoned his trouser belt, and then poured urine on the remains of the small tree. The debris first bubbled up a few times, and then gradually evaporated into gas, leaving only a foul smell in the end.
"Actually, this kind of poison, as long as the infected person can hold back the nausea and drink a sip of urine, the poisonous gas will be eliminated along the excretion channel of the body..."
"Is this poison contagious?"
"Infection, this time not only infects people, but also the land, trees, flowers and plants. Simply count, kill all these people in the city, and Fanyang City will become a poisonous city."
Song Cizhi said complacently, not paying attention to the eyes of Li Shimin and Li Wenhao at all.
"You go down first, I can understand that you continue to study poison, but it must not be used on the land of Datang."
"But, Your Highness, I don't have enough corpses and living people to test the medicine."
Song Ci spread her hands.
"It's simple, I'll let them capture a few strong captives for you."
Li Wenhao dismissed Song Ci and asked Song Ci to withdraw. I am afraid that the main purpose of Song Ci's visit this time is to ask him to ask someone to test the medicine.
"Dalang, what's your next step?"
"Let's take a step by step!"
Since the Great Wall has not fallen, they should be the ones who are anxious now. We just need to maintain an absolute lead in information.
"Lu Wenzhao, send an order to Chen Qingzhi to focus on monitoring the enemy's movements first, and use his white-robed army as a scout team. As for the enemy's logistics, don't worry about it for now. As a nation, they can't For decent logistics, it is most important to first understand the enemy's strategic intentions."
"Report! The Shiwei envoy is asking to see you."
"Oh?"
The father and son looked at each other, "Go to the palace."
In the palace, Li Shimin and Li Wenhao were both wearing battle armor, and the civil and military officials standing below them stared angrily at the man holding the seal of Shiwei Dahan.
"Dear Tang Emperor, on behalf of Shiwei Dahan, I am here to persuade you to surrender."
"Persuade to surrender?"
"Do you know how many troops my Great Tang has?"
"How do you know that you will win this battle?"
Li Shimin shouted angrily.
"Emperor Tang, don't think I don't know. You are now fighting with the Persians and Siamese in the west at the same time, and you have invested no less than 80 troops."
"Even if you still have a large army on Hebei Road, how much is that?"
"Li Cunxiao? Yue Fei? Or Ran Min in Goguryeo?"
"If my predictions are correct, your most elite tigers and leopards are riding to the west, right?"
"The 50 blood killing army led by Xue Rengui has also gone to the west?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that since we dared to come, we've made inquiries about everything. Do you see us coming?"
"Under the city is my Shiwei's 50 army, and there are still 30 people on the road. My Shiwei devotes all his strength to support the 80 army. It is a desperate fight, and there will be no retreat."
"Hmph, in my Hebei Road, saying that there is no one in my Hebei Road, are you a bit too contemptuous of people?"
"Go back and tell your Great Khan, quit Datang, Paul and the rest of the dead, otherwise, you can only become nourishment for my land in Fanyang City."
Li Wenhao was really too lazy to talk to this brawny guy.
Hebei Dao is indeed empty now, even very empty, but Hebei Dao has no power to fight?
joke.
At the beginning, the reward for destroying Goguryeo was the three camps of Yongle.
Although the establishment of the Shenji Battalion was difficult, the [-] Battalion and the [-]th Army Battalion have now formed troops, but their combat effectiveness is a bit low, and they are training in the south of Fan Yang. If Li Wenhao wants to, he can use this army.
It's just that the enemy won't be able to attack for a while, so it's better to keep them as a backup and see what the enemy's purpose is.
"In that case, let's see you on the battlefield!"
"Don't talk too much, I cut off your banners yesterday, why didn't anyone come to see me?"
Li Wenhao directly threw out a snow-white banner, which was Li Wenhao's trophy yesterday.
"you……"
"Humph!"
The Shiwei envoy who persuaded him to surrender turned around to leave, but was stopped by the Imperial Forest Army standing at the door.
"Gouging out the eyes, nose, ears, and leaving him with a tongue, so that he can speak clearly when he goes back."
"By the way, don't forget to break his five limbs."
Li Wenhao snorted coldly, and Jin Yiwei took the man down.
"Everyone, offended."
With a wave of Li Wenhao's hand, the Jinyiwei and Yulinjun began to move bedding, tables, chairs and other items to the main hall of the palace in an orderly manner, and everyone who watched was stunned.
"Dalang, what is this?"
"Wartime control, the situation is urgent now, everyone just feel wronged here for a few days!"
"Your Majesty, this is unreasonable!"
As soon as Li Wenhao finished speaking, someone stood up to object, but the objection was invalid.
Li Shimin waved his hand directly, indicating to follow Li Wenhao's orders, and the angry people could only let him go.
"Follow me with the generals above the third rank"
Li Wenhao motioned to Li Shimin, and left with the generals of the third rank and above.
In fact, there is only Luo Cheng left among the military generals above the third rank in Chaozhong.
The rest are guarding the frontier, and then there are Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji. Although they are not military generals, Li Shimin will always bring these two people with him.
"Everyone, it's best not to provoke Jin Yiwei's butcher's knife."
"Until the war is over, no living person will come out of this hall."
Li Wenhao gave a warning, turned his head and walked out coldly.
To deal with this group of people, it's not that he doesn't have a good impression, it's just that the situation is a bit dangerous now, and he doesn't dare to take risks.
He didn't know whether these ministers were of one mind with Li Shimin, but he knew that most of them were not of one mind with him.
Anyway, ironware has already been collected among the people, so there is nothing wrong with martial law during wartime.
You must know that Fan Yangcheng has condensed Li Wenhao's painstaking efforts for so many years. He wants to build Fan Yangcheng into the economic, cultural, and political core of this era and the world.
If Fan Yangcheng was destroyed because of the mistakes there, then Li Wenhao would have nowhere to cry.
"Your Highness, the enemy has begun to attack the city."
As soon as he and Li Shimin went out, they saw the person who came to deliver the letter. Without saying a word, they appeared on the city wall for the first time.
"Master, I will leave the west gate of Fanyang City to you."
Li Wenhao said to Luo Cheng.
"Don't worry, I'm here, the city is here."
Luo Cheng had just left at least, when another cavalry galloped over from a distance, when he paid in the money, he took a closer look, and it turned out to be Qin Qiong who had been disarmed and returned to the field.
"Your Majesty, do you think Shubao can no longer fight?"
"If it's a difficult time, how come I, Qin Qiong, are missing."
"Shubao, you have already removed your armor, I don't want to disturb you, besides, some moth thieves are nothing more, don't take it seriously."
Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, don't say too much, let's do the task. Although the old minister has disarmed and returned to the field, he has spent most of his life on horseback, and the mace technique is not unfamiliar."
"Uncle, you..."
"Okay, General Qin, I will hand over the southern city to you. Where there are [-] non-retiring soldiers, all of them will be under your command. I just ask for one thing. No matter what, General Qin should not go out of the city to fight. The enemy's intentions have not yet been understood. Don't be careless."
"Thank you, old minister, let's go."
"and many more!"
Li Wenhao stopped Qin Qiong who was about to leave, and took out a soldier talisman in his arms. This soldier talisman allows you to control 3 troops in Nancheng. General Qin, I, Datang Sheji, please.
"rest assured"
Qin Qiong put one hand on her chest to signal and turned to leave.
"Dalang, why are you doing this?"
"Qin Qiong followed Wei's father to fight, with countless wounds on his body. Why do you still let him go to the front line at this time? If something goes wrong, why does Wei's father have the face to meet those old brothers?"
Li Shimin said sadly.
"Father, General Qin has been on the battlefield all his life, how can he not participate in this battle that concerns the fate of our Tang Dynasty?"
"As the first Marshal of the Tang Dynasty, how could he just sit back and ignore him?"
"Let's use this battle as the last battle of General Qin's life, and it will satisfy his wish."
"All right!"
Li Shimin nodded.
When the two came to the city wall, the enemy's attack had reached a fever pitch. A ladder was built on the city wall, and the enemy was climbing up like ants.
"What about the water, pour it down for me, and freeze them to death."
Li Wenhao looked at the severe cold weather and shouted.
"Your Highness, there is no water, and it is boiling water now."
"Ok?"
Li Wenhao looked back and saw dozens of cauldrons were set on the fire, and inside were snow that had not yet melted.
"Your Highness, we have mobilized all the people in the city to deliver water, but the four gates and the wells in the city are limited..."
"I know, tell the soldiers, go up."
Li Wenhao gritted his teeth and drank, since nothing else works, let's rely on others.
Although there are a lot of defense equipment in the city, if we open our firepower in the face of the enemy's first wave of attack, it will undoubtedly give the enemy a chance to prepare.
The big killer should be reserved for critical moments.
"Get down!"
Another ladder was erected in front of Li Wenhao, and he stretched his head to take a look. Two-thirds of the enemy had already climbed up. Apart from anything else, with a thrust of the spear and a sudden force with both arms, a ladder was given by Li Wenhao with his own strength. Pick up.
"Dalang, you go to command the battle, don't worry about me."
"Then be careful"
Li Wenhao started to wander around the city wall with his spear in his hand. Everywhere, others overturned the enemy's ladder, but there were too many enemies after all.
Moreover, this group of people was born to grow up in a bitter cold place, and they are more suitable for fighting in cold weather than the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
There is a leather pouch hanging around their waists, which is full of spirits. Whenever they feel cold, they will take a big sip, which can not only dispel the cold, but also make the attack more powerful with the help of alcohol. more violent.
"That does not work."
Li Wenhao shook his head. If the enemy never cared about casualties, Fan Yangcheng would suffer heavy losses if things went on like this.
"How to do it?"
Li Wenhao turned his head and looked around, trying to find a way to curb the enemy's offensive.
"Li Junxian, order 3000 people, follow me out of the city to kill a wave, you can't keep defending the city, sooner or later the enemy will climb to the top of the city."
"it is good!"
Li Junxian had just stabbed to death an enemy who had climbed up, and he echoed, ordered the three thousand owl ghost army of the reserve team, and came to the gate of the city.
"retreat!"
At this time, the street has long been emptied, and now Fanyang City is under the control of soldiers, and all residents stay at home.
With a full retreat of half a mile, Li Wenhao motioned for the front to slowly open the city gate, while he directly led the people to charge.
Now he doesn't know how many enemies there are outside the city, let alone what the city gate looks like, so he can only use this method, which is reckless.
"The city gate is open, the city gate is open!"
Before the Shiwei people gathered at the gate of the city had time to pass on the 'good news', they heard the sound of horseshoes in the city.
"How do they race horses in the city?"
This was the enemy's last thought, because he saw the team that could be called ghosts and gods again.
"Clean up the enemies under the city wall, and try to destroy the enemy's siege equipment as much as possible."
In fact, there is no need for Li Wenhao to say much, everyone is a generation who has experienced many battles, and they all know in their hearts that the three thousand owl ghost army took down the shields mounted on their legs, holding the shield in one hand and holding the spear in the other. Following Li Wenhao, like a group of death gods, began to harvest the lives of these unresponsive enemies.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Li Wenhao was concentrating on destroying the enemy's ladder, and he didn't notice that behind him, a huge crossbow shot towards him.
When he heard the shouts of his subordinates, it was too late to do any evasive actions, and when the crossbow arrows were about to approach him, suddenly, a figure jumped in front of him.
"Your Highness, I can't accompany you anymore, so be careful in the future!"
"Wang Xiaoqi..."
Li Wenhao yelled in grief and indignation, and looked into the distance, where there were actually two bed crossbows. Although they were not continuous crossbows like the Tang Dynasty but single-shot crossbows, their power should not be underestimated.
In the Xiaogui Army, those who can call Li Wenhao as His Highness are all the children of the refugees who were adopted in Huangzhuang. After many years of fighting, less than half of the original [-] boys are still in the army. The rest are either lying in Yanshan Cemetery, or quit the army because of disabilities.
Only these people have not changed their address to Li Wenhao. They have always been called His Highness Li Wenhao since they were young.
They have always treated Li Wenhao as a younger brother to protect him. Although Li Wenhao is very strong, in their eyes, Li Wenhao still looks like that young child.
Tie Wang Xiaoqi's body behind his back with a cloak, Li Wenhao grew vicious, and pointed his spear at the enemy's command platform. He did not see the enemy's command platform when he attacked yesterday, but today, since the war started, , The command system was directly exposed in front of Li Wenhao.
"Everyone, follow me to the battle."
"Go straight to their army!"
"kill!"
In fact, Li Wenhao didn't need to say, even if there was an abyss ahead, it was Yan Luodian, as long as Li Wenhao took the lead, the Xiaogui army would spare no effort to charge.
After all, many of them lived to protect this little Highness.
"Damn, damn, you damn!"
"If you dare to kill my brother, I will kill your whole family, and I will destroy your country and your species."
Li Wenhao, who had been completely aroused by Wang Xiaoqi's death, really wanted to take Song Ci's poison at this moment and stage a human plague.
It's a good thing Song Ci isn't here, otherwise Li Wenhao, who is above him, would really be able to do anything.
"Stop him, stop him for me."
In the command system of the enemy's central army, a person waved the command flag and began to command the army. Suddenly, the formation of the army changed dramatically.
"Long snake array? How could they form a long snake array?"
Li Wenhao, who was rushing into the formation, hadn't reacted yet, but Li Shimin, who was on the top of the wall, could see clearly that the enemy below clearly used the Long Snake Formation.
"Hmph, want to fight?"
Li Shimin curled his lips in disdain.
"Jia Fu, Xu Chu, Shi Chan Master, you three, each lead a cavalry army out of the city, attack the enemy's tongue seven inches, the snake's tail, and the center. After breaking through the enemy in front of you, the three of you form a horizontal Charge and kill, I want to see how many formations these barbarians can put on."
"Here!"
The three of them obeyed the order and each took five thousand riders out of the city, and followed Li Shimin's instructions to attack the Long Snake Formation.
At this time, Li Wenhao also found some abnormalities in the enemy formation. The so-called long snake, since it is a snake, will naturally coil up to defend. Now the enemy in front of him is coiled up, layer by layer, continuous.
"Your Highness, we seem to be caught in the enemy's formation."
"I know."
Li Wenhao stopped his horse for a while to observe. He was about [-] steps away from the enemy's command platform, and before that was the enemy's long snake formation.
"Humph!"
"The long snake array wants to block me?"
"Then I'll let them know what it means to use strength to break tricks, and one strength to reduce ten meetings."
Li Wenhao was originally a brave person, and now that he was so angry, he naturally wouldn't back down.
"javelin!"
As Li Wenhao yelled, the soldiers of the Xiaogui Army behind him took off their javelins and threw them forward.
Immediately, a large open space was cleared, and Li Wenhao also took advantage of this opportunity to mobilize his horse and rush out.
"Strangle!"
This time Li Junxian did not lead people and Li Wenhao to charge, but issued an order to be strangled.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of order would only be issued when he had an absolute advantage. Now that Li Junxian issued this order, the goal was self-evident.
They are going to fight to the death, using themselves to buy time for Li Wenhao.
"Li Junxian..."
Li Wenhao's eyes could already spew out fire. In this situation, these 3000 people must have gone forever.
From the time when the Xiaogui army became an army until now, there has not been a time when [-]% of the battles have been killed.
"Your Highness, we are willing to die for Datang."
Li Junxian roared, and the steel gun in his hand was like a swimming dragon, slashing across the enemy's throat.
"Ah ya ya!"
"An ignorant savage, how dare he fight with an axe and set up a long snake array?"
"Do you know your grandfather, Tiger Hou Xu Chu?"
"Look at me as a tiger devouring a snake."
Xu Chu took a big knife and slashed at the enemy's seven inches. On the other side, Jia Fu and Shi Chan Master also followed Li Shimin's order, and each committed suicide into the formation.
Li Junxian, who was ready to fight to the death, only felt the eyes lighten in front of him, and then the enemies in front of him fell down in pieces.
"General Li, what are you waiting for? Reorganize the army and follow His Royal Highness to take the enemy's central army."
"Ah good!"
Li Junxian is a little down, he still hasn't figured it out yet, how did Jia Fu bring someone to appear in front of him?
"Your Majesty asked me, Huhou, and Master Shi to come over and break the enemy's long snake formation. Don't worry, leave this place to me. Go and protect Your Highness!"
"it is good!"
Li Junxian finally figured out the situation, and quickly gathered his men and horses to chase Li Wenhao.
At this time, Li Wenhao was already in a bitter battle, and after the long-word formation, he unexpectedly fell into another big formation.
At this time, the enemies around him, knives, guns, shields, and crossbows cooperated very well, and he had to be very careful every step forward, and the enemy's shield array was coming towards him little by little, even if he was so fierce that he was not human. In this case, the enemy will be surrounded, and I am afraid it will be cold.
Seeing not far away, the enemy general was waving a command flag to direct the army. Li Wenhao really wanted to throw the spear in his hand, but his reason told him, no, absolutely not.
If there is no weapon, he will really become a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Your Highness, we are here."
Li Junxian yelled outside, and rushed in directly, and Li Wenhao also rushed towards Li Junxian's place with all his strength.
At this time, Li Shimin on the city wall saw the enemy's formation, his pupils shrank, "Eight-door golden lock formation..."
