Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Zhiming took the two of them on a tour. The purpose was to show their faces for everyone to see.

Then he took the two of them to the arrow tower. The city wall was not very safe. If something happened to these two ancestors,

Even if he is the deputy governor, even if he is a member of the clan, Li Shimin will vent his anger on him.

Standing on the archery tower, looking towards the enemy to the west, they saw that the enemy was already pushing siege equipment and slowly approaching the city wall.

"Where did Tubo get so many siege equipment?" Li Tai frowned as he looked into the distance.

"It seems that they have been preparing for a long time. Just now I discovered that their cloud ladders and long ladders were made after our city walls.

It fits just right. "Li Zhiming also looked at the enemy troops in the distance and said.

"You mean they have already wanted to attack the important city?" Li Zhi turned around and asked.

According to his information, the mutual trade was requested by Tubo himself, and they paid the price of the Chiling area and the entire surrounding Qinghai area.

After paying such a high price and only trading with each other for a few months, you want to regret it?

"The barbarians have never stopped trying to conquer the Tang Dynasty." Li Zhiming replied.

"General Li, have you noticed a problem? Do the opponent's siege equipment look familiar?"

At this time, Li Tai suddenly asked.

Li Zhiming had a look of astonishment on his face when he heard this, but his heart was calm. He had already discovered it.

But he can't say it. He can report it to Li Shen and let Li Shen do it. But if he says it,

Aren't you just talking about the traitors of the Tang Dynasty? It would offend people to make an assertion based on the similarity of siege equipment without any evidence.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei said that, it really looks familiar, and it is somewhat similar to the ladder truck I used before the Tang Dynasty.

However, this kind of siege attack the city by different routes, so it is not surprising that they are similar. "

Li Tai shook his head and said:

"No, I have seen this kind of ladder before. Even if they made it themselves, they can't even have the same fixed position, right?

This king asserts that this is the ladder truck used by our Tang Dynasty to attack the city, but their base workmanship is relatively rough.

Pheasant slave, what do you think? "

After Li Tai finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi also identified it carefully.

"Fourth brother, this is indeed similar. My younger brother has only seen it from a distance before, and has not observed it up close."

"It seems that this matter is not simple. When I see His Majesty, I must report this matter. It is very likely that there is a rebellion in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Tai looked serious.

"What the fourth brother said is that it should be so, but I just don't know whether the rebellion is in the army or in Chang'an."

Li Zhi also nodded.

"You want to say that there is a rebellion in the Qinghai capital?" Li Tai frowned.

"Two princes, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with my Qinghai Protectorate." Li Zhiming on the side quickly explained after hearing this.

"Why?" Li Tai asked.

"Back to you two princes, it's actually very simple. Our Qinghai Protectorate does not have siege equipment. Since we don't have siege equipment, of course we don't have blueprints.

So why is there such a thing as rebellion? "

After Li Zhiming said it, the two of them were stunned. It makes sense. How can I give it if I don't have it?

"But..." Li Zhiming continued:

"However, there must be enemy forces in this Qinghai fortress, and they are investigating the strength and combat effectiveness of our Protectorate.

They already know even the height of the city wall.

Therefore, their attack on His Majesty this time should kill two birds with one stone.

If Daduhu didn't come to rescue him, the 100,000 troops that followed would definitely not come.

This is a conspiracy. "

At this time, Li Zhiming had figured out the whole thing. The other party was using conspiracy.

Attack the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in front of you. If you say whether you want to save him or not, they will definitely save him.

What they didn't expect was that more than 20,000 people would fall out.

This played into their plans. They waited for two days for the Tang army to run away before reinforcements came, and then immediately attacked the city.

An army of 150,000 has a great chance of winning against 30,000 horses.

Li Zhiming had explained, and both Li and Tai suddenly realized that this was a chain of links. If they didn't save him, they would be gone.

Your Majesty will be in danger. If you rescue them, they will take the opportunity to capture the Qinghai capital.

Now there are 100,000 troops on the opposite side, and only 15,000 people are guarding our side. There is a huge disparity in military strength.

"By the way, General Li, I wonder if you have arranged for someone to go to Shanzhou to ask for help?" Li Tai thought of asking for help at this time.

"Back to the prince, we have sent people to Shanzhou Prefecture to ask for help, but it will take seven days at the earliest. If we add the team to gather and prepare supplies, I am afraid it will be good to arrive in ten days."

Li Zhiyun shook his head.

"Ten days? We may not be able to hold on for ten days." Li Zhi couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, our Protectorate is not a mediocre person. It won't be easy for them to take over my Qinghai capital."

"Woo~~~Woo~~~"

As he spoke, the enemy camp sounded an attack horn.

"kill!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing were loud, and countless enemy troops rushed towards the city wall. This time there was no test at all, and all the opponent's siege equipment was used.

After countless archers reached the shooting range, they fired thousands of arrows at the city wall. The soldiers of the Tang army could only hide behind the wall stacks for temporary shelter.

"Bang bang bang" the sound of continuous ladders hitting the city wall came, and the enemy troops rushed up the ladders one after another.

The soldiers of the Tang army had to brave the arrow feathers to attack the enemy on the ladder, using stones, rolling logs, bows and arrows, and hot oil.

All available defensive weapons served their purpose.

"I have met the King of Wei, the King of Jin, and the Deputy Protector." Governor Shi Yang Shaowei also walked up to the Arrow Tower.

"Master Yang, how are the supplies arranged?"

Li Zhiming asked.

"Go back to the deputy governor. We have prepared enough supplies. They are all under the city wall and can be transported up at any time." Yang Shaowei reported back.

"That's good. The enemy is attacking quickly and fiercely. We must hold on to this wave. It will be dark soon.

They will definitely withdraw their troops by then. "

Li Zhiming nodded.

Looking at Li Zhiming who was a little worried, Yang Shaowei said:

"The deputy governor must be too worried. I feel that if the city wall really cannot be defended, we can withdraw to the central city and continue the defense."

Hearing what he said, Li Tai and Li Zhi chuckled. How could they forget this?

But Li Zhiming shook his head

"Retreating to the central city can only be a helpless move when the city is finally broken.

Do you know how many people from our Tang Dynasty are in the outer city? The important thing is how many supplies are inside, and the warehouses are all in the outer city.

Have you ever thought about how big the loss is.

Moreover, if the outer city is lost, we will become turtles in a urn and will be trapped and killed by them.

Even if rescue comes at that time, the enemy can still rely on the city wall to resist. "

Retreating can only be chosen when the army is finally defeated. Once retreating to the central city, it means that they can only wait for rescue.

The difficulty of rescue is still very high.

Time passed bit by bit, and Li Zhiming also informed people about the situation in Dongcheng from time to time.

At present, it seems that the pressure here is still greater than that in Dongcheng.

Finally, after the sky darkened, the enemy troops in the west stopped attacking and retreated like a tide.

Soon news came from the east, and the enemy troops in the east also withdrew.

At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally lived another day.

"Send the order, treat the wounded immediately, start a fire and cook, and take inventory of supplies and casualties."

(I'm a little anxious. It's all because I have no spine. I insist on watching it. I insist on watching it. I even said I won't watch it. I'm a dog.

I have been in a bad mood recently, causing trouble for myself and losing my memory. Give yourself a mouthful. )
