Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

However, Wang Shichong waved his hand and said: "There is no hurry for now, first beat Li Shimin, then destroy Li Yuanji, and we will get rid of Li Yuan's two sons, and it will not be too late to get rid of De Rui."

Wang Shichong had already received news that Xingyang City had been conquered by Chen Ying, and the 2 troops under Dou Jiande's general Liu Jintang had all been wiped out. The festival was defeated and retreated, but there was no Xia army in Henan.

This also means that Wang Shichong is not only responsible for encircling and annihilating the more than [-] troops of Li Shimin's headquarters alone, but also the [-] remnants of Li Yuanji and Qu Tutong.

Under such circumstances, how could Wang Shichong still be in the mood to attack Shi Derui? He needs all his strength to resist the threat from Chen Ying.

Relatively speaking, King Shiyun of Qi understood Wang Shichong's worries better, and he said: "Your Majesty, let me go to Yanshi!"

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "That's very good!"

Wang Shichong walked in front of Wang Shiyun, patted Wang Shiyun on the shoulder and said, "Fourth brother, Luoyang and Yanshi are counting on you. At this time, our brothers can be relied on!"

Hearing this, whether it was Yang Qing or Tian Zan, their moods suddenly turned bad, as if they had swallowed a fly.Tian Zan thought to himself: "You don't trust us so much, so you should save face for us!"

Wang Shiyun walked out of the palace, Wang Shichong looked at Wang Shiyun's back, and said: "Immediately build a stone cannon and smash the Tang camp!"

Cijian Tangying camp, besides the camp at this time, a complete set of defense system has been built, including earth barriers, trenches, Juma, deer village and sentry towers, which are simple but very practical.

Often when the generals of the Zheng army had just stepped over the earth barrier, they would be hit by the dense rain of arrows shot from the Tang army's camp. Before they rushed to the trench, they would be seriously injured. The rain of arrows on the arrow tower was ravaged. In fact, the soldiers of the Zheng army even the camp of the Tang army had been demoralized by the attacks in the past few days and had to retreat with hatred.

However, Li Shimin, who repelled Zheng Jun's attacks one after another, was not easy. As the offensive and defensive battle continued, Tang Jun's reserve arrows were also rapidly depleted.Especially seeing Yang Qing and Tian Zan's more than [-] troops arriving, Li Shimin frowned even tighter.

Especially seeing the generals of the Zheng army coming in like a tide, but they didn't attack immediately. Instead, they started slowly assembling the trebuchet just a stone's throw away from the camp.

In this case, Li Shimin hurriedly discussed countermeasures with the generals.

Changsun Shunde said without much thought: "His Royal Highness, there are three roads before us now. The first road is to break out of the encirclement regardless of everything, break out to the east, meet with General Chen, and use the elite cavalry under General Chen's command. Combat strength, it should not be difficult to defeat Wang Shichong again!"

Li Shimin's confidantes and veterans all thought this method was good, Hou Junji asked: "But is it easy to break out to the east and join forces with General Chen?"

"It's not easy, but it's not impossible." Changsun Shunde said with a wry smile: "This time, the general brought more than [-] horses and [-] cavalry from Chang'an. They all brought enough dry food for three days to avoid the strong and the weak. According to my calculations, it should be no problem for us five thousand elite cavalry to escort His Highness the King of Qin to meet General Chen. This is the most important thing for us. No risky way."

At this time, Cheng Zhijie, who was originally silent, said: "Five thousand cavalry, thirty thousand horses, the baggage and infantry..."

"They're afraid that most of them won't be able to join forces with General Chen." Changsun Shunde said: "Now our communication with General Chen has been cut off, and we can't get in touch with General Chen directly. We only know that he was in a hurry before. Guarding the Hulao Pass, none of Dou Jiande's troops broke through the Hulao Pass and marched westward. His Royal Highness King Qi and General Qu Tu didn't understand the situation on our side, so they couldn't respond effectively. So we chose this If there is no way, we must give up something..."

Li Shimin understood that at this time, when Wang Shichong's trebuchet blasted the camp's defense line, it was still unknown whether the camp could be held. There were more than [-] soldiers in the Cijian camp, including the lightly and seriously wounded and the infantry who could not cavalry. It is impossible to keep up with the speed of the breakout cavalry. Once this breakout strategy is chosen, it means that almost all the lightly and seriously wounded can only be left to Wang Shichong, and it depends on Wang Shichong's mood to kill or scrape.

PS: There will be another chapter later.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Not only lightly and seriously wounded soldiers, but also infantry who can't ride horses.Not everyone in the Tang Army knew how to ride a horse, especially in the infantry army, even counting those who could ride a horse and run, they could barely do it six to seven out of ten.This also means that not only will all the wounded soldiers be lost in this breakout, but more than [-] infantry will also be lost.

Not only the military defeat, but also the people in the eighteen counties of Henan Province who supported Chen Ying. When Wang Shichong made a move, these hundreds of thousands of people would only face two choices, either to surrender to Zheng State or to be killed. Zheng Jun slaughtered.

Chang Sun Shunde continued: "If Zuo Xiaowei's elite soldiers break through at all costs, at least half of the [-] horses His Majesty prepared for General Chen can be preserved! It's just the people of Henan Province."

Qin Qiong also felt that it would be a pleasant thing for a big man to break through the army and kill the general, but after hearing this, he found that he would abandon half of his brothers in this breakout, which made it difficult for him to accept.

Not only Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie also frowned.

Even the other generals looked at Changsun Shunde differently, and even scolded Changsun Shunde directly in the face of bad temper.The eldest grandson Shunde is a descendant of a family, and he has always taken care of the descendants of the family. When he encounters a good job, he always thinks of the descendants of the family. Like the good thing about breaking out of the encirclement to survive, the escape is the son of the aristocratic family and the confidants of the eldest grandson Shunde.In fact, these marginalized generals, that is, broken pots, had a mouthful before they died.

"Your mother's eldest grandson, Shunde, knows that you can't hold back your mother's fart!"

"You don't have a mother to have a son."

"What a fucking bad idea!"

"It's not a thing!"

……

Changsun Shunde didn't pay attention to these scolding, not because he was not generous, but because he didn't feel the need to argue with a dead man named Tang.Looking at Li Shimin's silence, Changsun Shunde smiled and said: "Maybe it can be like this. We let them pretend to surrender to Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong will not kill them all. In the future, we will lead our troops to kill them, and they will turn against us again?"

Hou Junji didn't give Changsun Shunde any face just because he was the uncle of Changsun Wuji and Princess Qin's eldest grandson Wugou, because Changsun Shunde's idea was really too bad.Hou Junji sneered and said, "General Changsun, don't think so naively!"

Li Shimin knew that he couldn't compete with Li Jiancheng in terms of government affairs, so he wanted to fight for the morale of the army and the No.1 position in the Tang army.Gain the loyal support of your soldiers.Now the generals of Prince Qin's Mansion, although they have received some benefits from him, and they all love his bravery, but as generals, once they abandon their trilogy to survive at a critical moment, they will definitely not continue to follow Li Shimin in the future.

Even with the support of the soldiers, Li Shimin has lost a lot.Even now, Li Shimin has not given up fighting for Li Jiancheng's position.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses.Because Li Shimin has great ambitions, even if he is acting, he will not do anything, unless Zheng Jun can break the camp immediately, he will choose this bad strategy when he is desperate.

"That's right. It's useless for us to talk too much and grandiosely before. The officers and soldiers see it as action." Li Shimin sighed and said: "People's hearts are hard to get. At the beginning, Liu Bei was driven from Xinye to Jiangxia by Cao Cao. The reason why Jingzhou can be easily regained is that he would rather lose his military advantage along the way and never leave the people. If we bring so many people, I am afraid that we will not be able to escape the encirclement of the Wang family, but if we abandon them , they will treat us as strangers in the future, and at that time, even if we use all the troops of the Tang Dynasty, we will only forcefully invade the Central Plains, and it will be difficult to get help from the inside..."

Yet at this moment.

"Boom boom boom..."

There was a series of loud noises, and even Li Shimin's big tent felt the obvious shock.

Li Shimin didn't even need to look to know that this was Wang Shichong's trebuchet starting to fire stone bombs. When he was watching from the arrow tower just now, Li Shimin saw that the generals of Zheng Jun assembled a thirteen-point trebuchet. More than [-] people are required to launch it at the same time. Of course, the stone bullets fired can also exceed [-] catties. This kind of trebuchet can throw more than [-] catties of stone bullets to a distance of more than [-] steps.

If this kind of stone bomb hits the rammed-earth city wall, it will be a big hole. If it is a masonry city wall, it will also smash the broken stones.The stone bullet weighing more than [-] jins carried huge kinetic energy, like a tank, rolling in front of the rejecting horse in front of the Tang army's camp, consuming kinetic energy on the rejecting horse until the kinetic energy disappeared.Just one stone bullet fell into the Juma and Luzhai clusters, smashing four Juma and two Luzhai to pieces.

There was also the camp wall that fell on the rammed ground of Mu Zhuang. The camp wall, which was nearly three feet thick, collapsed with a loud noise, which was nearly ten steps wide.Another stone bomb hit an arrow tower, and the arrow tower fell down in response. The wood chips that were smashed by the stone bomb flew across like bullets. As long as it was the soldiers of the Tang army who were swept by the wood chips, all of them were bleeding profusely. He fell to the ground and howled in pain.

Hearing the wailing and screams coming from the front of the camp, Changsun Shunde hastily persuaded: "His Royal Highness, you can consider this matter carefully. Our camp can't last long under the impact of such stone cannons!"

Niu Junda was afraid that Li Shimin had listened to the words of the elder Sun Shunde and ordered to break out.Hastily persuaded: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, we can't do this! Our brothers, the elders of Henan Mansion, are all sincere to us! If they support us, we can't let them down!"

Changsun Shunde said: "That's what it says. But if we bring so many people with us, we won't be able to break through and escape."

"Why are we running away!" Cheng Zhijie couldn't help roaring: "Let's go directly to Wang Shichong's old man's Wang Qi! Hmph, although Wang Shichong has many people, they may not be able to stop us..."

Changsun Shunde said disapprovingly: "General Cheng is brave. Your headquarters is about to be lost, right? I'll give you another 5000 troops, and you can show me Wang Shichong's camp?"

"Go as soon as you go, I'm afraid it will be raised by the little maid!" Cheng Zhijie pretended that I was a rascal and I was afraid of someone, and shouted with a wide-body axe: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, the last general invites you to fight!"

Qin Qiong said: "His Royal Highness, it is better to put it to death in order to achieve prosperity! We can win the hearts of the people and win the complete victory of Henan! But if we take this road, whether we can succeed or not depends not only on us, but on how General Chen will be." Cooperate."

Li Shimin thought to himself, if Chen Ying had only Chen Ying by his side, he wouldn't dare to place all his bets on Chen Ying, but Chen Ying still had Li Xiuning by his side, once Li Xiuning knew that he was in an emergency, would Chen Ying not desperately rescue him?

Qin Qiong looked at Li Shimin expectantly. In fact, Qin Qiong was also very nervous. He was really worried that Li Shimin would make a choice that would disappoint him. If Liu Adou is not on the wall, then he can consider his future plans.

Cheng Zhijie, Niu Junda and Xie Yingdeng met Qin Qiong's eyes in the air, they were all waiting for Li Shimin's decision.

A good minister chooses his master to serve, and a good bird chooses a tree to live on.Of course, the king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king.The ancient relationship between monarchs and ministers is actually more like the current employment relationship between company bosses and employees.It is difficult to get real support from talents when you follow a company boss with no future.

At this moment, Li Shimin said: "I believe that General Chen will not disappoint me, but he doesn't know what happened to us in Cijian. Now I need a general to inform General Chen. I don't know Which general would like to go?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Niu Junda, and Xie Yingdeng were all overjoyed.

"His Royal Highness, the general is willing to go!" Hou Junji bowed and cupped his fists and said, "The general is willing to lead [-] elite soldiers to destroy the Zheng army's stone cannons outside the camp, and then break out and report the news!"
