The most powerful fool system

　Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin in the north retreated smoothly, but Duan Zhixuan in the south was entangled by the Sui army led by Lu Meng.

　"General, General Duan's troops are trapped by the Sui army and cannot be withdrawn."

　On Tongguan, Liu Hongji also saw it at this time.

　"Send an order to Yuchi Jingde, let him lead the army to hold on for a while, and be sure to guard the passage.

　Let Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin lead the army out of the city again, and Duan Zhixuan must be brought back safely. "

　Liu Hongji issued the order again.

　"Go, let the thousand armored cavalry brought by His Highness go out to fight, rush out a passage for Duan Zhixuan, and cover their retreat."

　This time, when Li Er came to Tongguan, he also brought a thousand black armored cavalry.

　These mysterious armored cavalry are all Li Er's favorite.

　At this time, Li Er's subordinates had raised a total of this thousand Xuanjia cavalry, if there were more, Li Er would not be able to support them.

　Boom boom boom!

　Half a day later, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin led a thousand armored cavalry, rushed out of Tongguan and rushed into the battlefield.

　The strength of Xuanjia iron cavalry is naturally strong.

　Soon, the one thousand mysterious armored cavalry led by Xu Feng broke through the encirclement of the Sui army and arrived at Duan Zhixuan.

　"General Duan, come out with us."

　Duan Zhixuan was escorted out of the encirclement by Qin Qiong.

　"Is that what His Majesty said, the most elite cavalry in Li Tang's rebel army, Xuanjia cavalry?

　They were all heavy armored cavalry, and they were indeed fierce.

　To deal with this kind of heavy cavalry, the bed crossbow in our hands is the best weapon. "

　On the side of the Sui army, Zhou Yugao stood on a high platform built by soldiers of the Sui army, overlooking the entire battlefield.

　At this time, Zhou Yu also found the black armored cavalry rushing out of the city, watching them easily charge away the Sui army's infantry, and saw with his own eyes how powerful the black armored cavalry was.

　Finally, Duan Zhixuan was escorted back to Tongguan.

　The Sui army wanted to follow the storm into Tongguan, but unfortunately the Tang army had already prepared for it. The Sui army soldiers tried twice but failed.

　"It's too late, Your Highness, it's best not to go on this kind of battle again."

　After Qin Qiong returned to the city, she also said to Li Er with a look of fear.

　If they were outside the city and surrounded by the Sui army, if there were no black armored cavalry to break through the passage, the possibility of them breaking out would be too low.

　"Well, you can't fight like this anymore.

　Today we forced back the archer phalanx of Li Tang's rebel army, which is already a good result.

　At least in this way, we can deter the archers of the Sui army from getting so close to Tongguan. "

　The Sui army's attack on the city still failed.

　Zhou Yu ordered to stop the offensive and temporarily rested for two days, and then the Sui army gave up the continued attack on Tongguan.

　The Sui army stormed for several days, causing them more than 1 casualties, which is already very serious.

　After two days of rest, the Sui army attacked Tongguan again.

　This time, Zhou Yu didn't hide any more. In addition to sending [-] archers to the battle, he also made the bed crossbow, catapult, and Hong Tianlei ready to play.

　Buzz!

　After the war started, the sky was filled with buzzing sounds, and long crossbow arrows flew across the air and plunged into the group of Li Tang's soldiers on Tongguan.

　Peng!

　Facing the huge force of the bed crossbow, it was impossible for the boards made by Tang soldiers on the wall to block the blast of the crossbow.

　"Ah!"

　On Tongguan, miserable cries kept ringing.

　There are more than 200 bed crossbows, and there is nothing to block each wave of shooting.

　Once hit by an arrow, the possibility of surviving is very low.

Chapter 287 Li Yuanba is Here

　287 Li Yuanba Comes

　[Seek to collect and subscribe! 】

　Whoosh whoosh!

　Rumble!

　At the same time, a large number of catapults produced by the Sui army also began to throw thunderbolts onto the wall of Tongguan.

　The violent explosion was still limited to Tang Jun's damage.

　However, it dealt an even heavier blow to the morale of Tang soldiers.

　The soldiers of the Tang army had never seen Hong Tianlei before.

　As a result, the 'stone shell' in their eyes exploded just like that, making them terrified.

　"Everyone, don't panic, the general and His Highness are here.

　Hold the city gate and drive back the Sui army. "

　At the critical moment, it was the coaches Liu Hongji and Li Er who both risked their lives and went to the Tongguan Pass in person to boost the morale of the Tang army.

　This stabilized the morale of the Tang army, revived the Tang army, and once again withstood the Sui army's offensive.

　The most difficult day passed, and Tang Jun held the city gate.

　As the sky darkened, the Sui army retreated.

　However, the Tang army suffered nearly 5000 casualties that day. Li Er and the coach Liu Hongji found it difficult to accept such a terrifying number of casualties.

　"This is a thick and long crossbow, what kind of crossbow does it need to shoot it!"

　"And this stone shell, what's in it? It exploded like a thunderbolt?"

　After the battle, Li Er held a crossbow arrow and the exploded Thunderbolt shell, and asked everyone with a gloomy face.

　"Your Highness, according to our spies in the Eastern Capital, we have sent back news.

　It is said that among the Sui army, there is a heavy crossbow that can fire several such long crossbow bolts at one time, and its lethality is astonishing.

　This kind of "stone" that can explode was also used by the Sui army, and it was used when Dou Jiande was destroyed.

　It's a pity that Yang Guang protects these things very closely, and our people can't touch them at all, so we can only hear them. "

　Changsun Wuji stood aside and said to Li Er.

　"Previously there was a lot of rumors in Chang'an that Yang Guang would bring down the Nine Heavens Thunder, and most of them were talking about this weapon.

　Even the people in Jizhou spread the rumor that the Sui army possessed an artifact that could fly into the sky. At the beginning, the Sui army used that artifact to quickly defeat Dou Jiande's Xia army.

　Originally, the subordinates didn't care much about these rumors.

　But now it seems that the rumors among the people may not be groundless, and the Sui army may still have strange weapons.

　We need to be on our guard. "

　"Damn it, the king was careless.

　If I had known earlier, this king should have made great efforts to find out these rare weapons possessed by the Sui army. "

　Li Er said with some self-blame.

　"Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself, we still have to find a way now, how to get rid of these methods of the Sui army.

　Everyone has seen what happened today.

　The Sui Army's long-distance archers cover and shoot, which already poses a huge threat to us.

　Coupled with the blow of these heavy crossbows, especially the kind of 'stone' that will explode, it will cause too much damage to our soldiers.

　Casualties are not the most important thing. The most important thing is the morale of our army.

　Now, if you go out and have a look, the soldiers are very afraid.

　If this situation cannot be resolved in time and the time is delayed, the morale of the army will inevitably be slackened.

　At that time, it will be impossible for us to defend Tongguan. "

　Liu Hongji came out to comfort Li Er, and said to everyone in Tang Jun at the same time.

　I want to brainstorm and come up with a solution as soon as possible.

　"This situation cannot continue, otherwise it will be a vicious circle.

　It is actually not difficult to break the situation. "

　At this time, Xu Maogong said.

　"Mr. Xu, if there is any way, just say it."

　Liu Hongji looked at Xu Maogong and said.

　"Whether it is the Sui Army's archers, or this kind of heavy crossbow, especially their explosive 'stones', they are also thrown to our side with the help of catapults.

　In other words, they are all long-range attack arms.

　These units have strong attack and weak defense.

　As long as we can send a team of troops to hit these crossbowmen and catapults, it will be enough to destroy them. "

　"Mr. Xu means that we have to come again, a battle like when we went out of the city to attack the Sui army's archer phalanx?"

　"That's right, if we only defend but not attack, only slow death awaits us.

　If we want to break the game, we can only switch from defense to offense now.

　As long as the Sui army's archer phalanx and the Sui army's crossbow carts and catapults can be destroyed, even if it costs a certain amount, it will not hesitate.

　Without these archers, crossbow carts, and catapults, the Sui army would not even be able to break through Tongguan even if their strength was several times that of our army. "

　Xu Maogong nodded and said.

　"Master Xu is right. These archers, crossbow carts and catapults of the Sui Army must not be left behind."

　Li Er also stood up, and said with a 'click' on the thumb-thick crossbow, his eyes were firm, and he said sonorously.

　"However, we are short of troops now, and it is already very difficult to guard the gate.

　How can there be any troops out of the city to fight the Sui army, let alone destroy their archer phalanx, destroy their crossbow carts and catapults.

　You have also seen before how closely the Sui army protected their archer phalanx.

　Several of our troops rushed out of the city, but we only forced back the archers of the Sui army, and did not hurt them. In the end, we had no choice but to retreat.

　Now, the protection of their crossbow carts and catapults by the Sui army is probably even more than the previous archer phalanx.

　We have lost a lot of troops now, and our morale is low. If we go out of the city to fight back, wouldn't we be looking for a dead end? "

　The eldest grandson Wuji next to him said angrily.

　"I'm writing a letter now to ask Father for help, as long as we hold on to Tongguan for another five days, our reinforcements will arrive.

　At that time, we will organize a major counterattack, and we must destroy these ballistas and catapults of the Sui army. "

　In the end, Li Er could only turn to Li Yuan for help.

　"It can only be like this, these five days will be a huge test for us.

　After the generals go back, they must appease the soldiers under their command.

　General Ben and His Royal Highness will also go down to condolences to the soldiers, boost their morale, and carry them through these five days. "

　Liu Hongji turned his head to Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other generals of the Tang Army and gave instructions.

　"Okay, let's all split up now."

　On the side of the Tang army, there was a gloomy cloud, and when they were thinking about how to destroy the ballistas and catapults of the Sui army, the Sui army was full of joy.

　"Captain, no matter how humble I feel, Tang Jun can't stand it anymore."

　Tai Shici stood behind Zhou Yu and spoke.
