And the best way is to let all the soldiers know that the throne is not suspended and the emperor is by their side.
When Li Shimin, wearing a dragon robe, appeared in front of the camp, all the soldiers of the Tang army shouted long live, with great momentum and high morale.
"You... Li Shimin, you are an unfaithful and unfilial person. My father and I are deeply trapped in the enemy's country. Instead of trying to save us, you are still proclaiming yourself emperor at this time."
The one who reacted the most was definitely Li Jiancheng.
As Li Tang's second emperor, he was definitely the most aggrieved.
Since he took office, he hasn't had a good day. Now that he was captured, he had hoped that his second brother would surrender early so that they could live a peaceful life.
Who would have thought that instead of being rescued, this guy would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor at this time.
The intention is obvious, this is to give up their family.
Li Jiancheng's words were also echoed by many princes and ministers.
Only Li Yuan was extremely calm at this time, even showing a faint smile on his face.
Yu Wencheng used phoenix wings to gilt Li Yuan's back and scolded: "Let Li Shimin come out and surrender immediately, or I will kill you right away."
Li Yuan glanced at Cao Anmin indifferently, and then looked at Li Tang's army in the distance. At this moment, everyone in Li Tang's royal family next to him had their hearts raised in their throats.
Li Yuan's eyes fell on Li Shimin at last, and he exclaimed with emotion: "Shimin, your father is very pleased that you have grown up. Nowadays, people are swords and we are fish. We have no choice. A man was born in the world, even if Even if you die, you have to be violent, and you are definitely not a man of our Li family who bows your knees. You..." Before Li Yuan could say anything, Yu Wencheng was ready to fight in a panic, and Li Yuan took the opportunity to shout: "It's a fight to the death, and we must not surrender." After saying that, Li Yuan directly backed away fiercely, even though Yu Wencheng stepped aside quickly, the phoenix-winged gold-plated iron in his hand was a rare magic weapon, and it pierced into Li Yuan's body in an instant.
Blood spattered, and Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty ended his life with such a heroic act.
In terms of governing the country, he may not be the most outstanding person in today's world; in terms of adopted son, he may not be the most suitable one; but in the face of life and death, he made a decisive choice.Doing so, on the contrary, is much more decisive than all the heroes in the world.
"No!" Li Shimin in the camp ignited his anger for a moment, and was about to rush out in a frenzy. The eldest grandson Wuji hugged Li Shimin in the back and shouted loudly: "Avenge the late emperor, kill!"
Cao Anmin frowned slightly as he looked at Li Yuan who had gradually stiffened.Who would have thought that Li Yuan would see through his body and die all of a sudden.Inspired by his sacrifice, the morale of the more than [-] Tang troops suddenly rose, and Li Shimin quickly ordered: "Draw the bow and release the arrow."
All of a sudden, countless arrows flew directly into the sky, attacking the Qi army.
The distance between Qi Jun and Tang Jun is only a hundred steps, within this distance, it is just within the attack range of the archers.This command may seem ordinary, but it actually includes the understanding of the combat power of our own army, the grasp of wind direction and speed, as well as the calculation of the enemy's charge speed and terrain height. It is not so accurate for a commander who is not a battle-tested commander. command.
A rain of arrows like locusts rose from the city wall, drawing beautiful arcs in the air, and shot accurately obliquely into the front team of the Qi army by virtue of the elasticity of the bow and its own gravity.
"Raise your shield!"
The front of the Qi army quickly raised the shield to block it above the head, and the arrow fell, and for the Qi army, it was unscathed.
But for those subjects of Li Tang's royal family whose hands and feet were bound, such an attack would completely make them living targets.
In an instant, blood spattered, and he was shot down.
Seeing his relatives lying in a pool of blood, Li Shimin's hands became tighter and tighter, his eyes were red, and his lips trembled slightly.
And the courtiers next to him also mourned silently more than life and death.
Among the crowd on the opposite side were their wives, children and family members.Nowadays, it is difficult for ordinary people to accept such cruel things as killing their family members with their own hands.
Li Shimin watched his youngest son and his beloved wife being pierced by thousands of arrows. Although his heart ached, all of this was planned by him right now.
Datang has become an isolated city, if they don't find a way to boost morale, they will collapse without fighting in a short time.
And the family members in the hands of Qi Jun are the best way to control them.
Only by cutting off this last thought, all the soldiers will break out their powerful fighting power in order to avenge their hatred.
"Brothers, kill!"
Li Shimin shouted, and the soldiers from all the ministries rushed out like a tide.
Although the distance between the two armies was far apart, the Tang army continued to attack with bows and arrows as they advanced.
Arrows falling from the sky are the most lethal to the human body. This is the most reasonable thing in the age of cold weapons. The archers of the front team of the Tang Army released the arrows and immediately stepped back to load the arrows. Afterwards, the front team made up for it.
Under the successive attacks, the Qi army was suppressed by them and couldn't breathe.
The ground was so muddy that there was no way to move forward, the army could only retreat.Because all the soldiers raised their shields, their line of sight was greatly affected, and confusion appeared again when they retreated, and their speed was greatly affected, which also gave Tang Jun more time to release arrows.In less than a hundred steps, the number of Qi troops killed in battle continued to rise.
There are also more and more tramplers, and the roads they pass are all stained with blood and corpses.
The team led by Cao Anmin was originally at the front, and it was the most chaotic when retreating. Although there were personal guards nearby to cover, Cao Anmin was the number one target of the Tang army's archers, and was almost hit by arrows several times.Fortunately, Luo Shixin arrived with reinforcements, set up dozens of large shields, and finally withstood the locust-like arrows of the Tang army.
Li Yuan committed suicide, which disrupted Cao Anmin's previous arrangements.Not only did he not get any benefits, not to mention that the Li Tang prisoners he had obtained before were killed, and he also killed more than 2000 soldiers, and his morale was damaged.
Li Ji took advantage of this to say that the Qi army was powerful, and they still focused on siege, and the two countries' national power contest would definitely destroy the remnants of Li and Tang.
Although Cao Anmin felt resentful, he finally held back his anger and ordered his ministries to continue to defend the siege.
Chapter 936
On September [-]th of the fifth year of Wugong, the Qi army had besieged Xiakou for more than a full month.
Cao Anmin also completely gave up the possibility of storming and persuading surrender. Hundreds of thousands of troops built a simple earth wall three meters high and two meters wide around the Tang army camp in Jingkou.
During the confrontation between the two armies, the Qi army quickly swept across the south of the Yangtze River, and the counties of Jiaozhou, Yangzhou Kuaiji County, and Wu County that belonged to the Tang State fell into the hands of the Qi army.
And Tang Huang Li Shimin inside the earthen wall is not having a good time now.
The Qi army besieged Xiakou and completely cut off the Tang army's supply of all supplies.Although Li Shimin had a lot of reserves before, he couldn't resist the consumption of more than [-] troops. As the time of the siege continued, Li Shimin's heart became more and more anxious as he looked at the granary that had bottomed out.
Everyone knows that there is not much time left for them.
If they don't attack and break out, I'm afraid they will all be trapped to death in this Jingkou.
Because of the seriousness of the situation, Li Shimin had no choice but to appoint Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji, Tang Jian and others to collect the only materials in Jingkou, and use these materials to make rafts. At that time, quickly escaped far away.
It was night, and the Qi army camp was brightly lit.
Sitting on the throne, Cao An Minju was worried and troubled.
It has been more than three months since the army went south to conquer, and the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is astronomical.
Although Li Ji's method is very good, the long-term consumption will be difficult for even the powerful Qi State to support.
"Your Majesty, the final general has returned from his tour of the camp. I have something to ask to see Your Majesty." Chen Qingzhi walked in quickly, with the wind blowing under his feet, causing the candles in the tent to flicker.
"What's so alarming about?"
Chen Qingzhi said excitedly: "Just now, General Cai Mo caught some deserters from the Tang Kingdom during his patrol. According to them, the treasury of the Tang Kingdom is empty, and I'm afraid it won't last long."
Cao Anmin put down the book in his hand, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"This is indeed good news. The ministries are ordered to strictly prevent the Tang army from breaking out from tonight."
