The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

"Tell me about the situation." Li Yi looked at the guard and spoke slowly.

The soldiers were in Li Yi's hands, and in terms of rank, he was not as good as him. I hoped that his performance in Mincheng Mansion was not all rumors. The guard looked at Li Yi's face, sighed in his heart, and briefly explained the situation.

Because the rear was constantly being replenished, there was not much shortage of supplies. The difficulty was that the soldiers and horses were tired, and the eldest prince's side was attacking day and night. On several occasions, they almost came up.

They have enough manpower to attack key points alternately. The defenders don't dare to squint even if they are rotated.

Moreover, it was all a small-scale test before. Judging from the actions of the eldest prince after he made the announcement, they were preparing to attack the big wave and capture Qingxia Pass in one fell swoop.

After understanding the situation, Li Yi asked the defenders to rest and recuperate before they could face the upcoming battle.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yi asked the leader of the Youxiao Guards to tell him about the situation at Qingxia Pass.

Compare the two to determine whether the guard has concealed or omitted anything.

He had a tender face and could easily be looked down upon. Li Yike did not miss the flash of disappointment on the guard's face as he looked at him.

His taste is really bad. Isn’t he handsome enough?

After listening to the report from the leader of the Youxiao Guards, Li Yi nodded. Although the guard didn't like him very much, he spoke in detail and did not lose his temper because of his personal subjective opinions.

Li Yi liked this very much and saved him from having to lock people up.

If it can't help, if it adds trouble, then it must not be left around.

With a rough idea in his mind, Li Yi went to eat. Like everyone else, he ate like a wolf. On the one hand, he was hungry. On the other hand, they rarely made fires along the way. They just made fires and soaked the dry food.

Like white rice, I really didn’t eat it in one bite.

Speaking of it, how can it be summed up in one bitterness.

Tang Zhenghao's walking was obviously not right. He was a good young man, but he was almost turning into a crab when he walked.

The clothes on the inside of the legs were probably stuck to the flesh.

Liao Ji was much better, but Li Yi didn't know if he could bear it well or if he was holding on to his image.

They should all have it. After all, his physical fitness is that of someone who has practiced martial arts, and is not comparable to that of a scholar like Tang Zhenghao who only does a little fitness.

After dinner, Li Yi divided the people into four groups, one group went up to replace the defenders, and the others went to rest.

If the string is too tight and not loose, it will break easily.

Among the people resting, Li Yi was not included. He stood at the top of the city, looking far away. He made a lot of noise coming over, and the eldest prince must have detected it.

Let’s see whether he will tackle the key problem or withdraw his troops first and then make plans.

Li Yi naturally hoped it was the latter, so that he would have time to breathe and make plans.

But obviously, he was thinking shit.

Because of his arrival, the eldest prince immediately gathered an army. He was also a man in the army, so how could he not know how to attack the tired and attack the weak, without giving the enemy any chance to breathe.

Seeing the dust rolling in the distance, Li Yi asked Guo Tan to wake up two groups of people who were resting, leaving one group to continue to recover.

The terrain of Qingxia Pass is a naturally good pass and cannot be easily conquered.

Otherwise, the eldest prince would not be blocked here.

"Prepare for war!" Li Yi shouted, and everyone got ready.

Tang Zhenghao and others were also resting, but when they heard that the eldest prince was leading people to tackle the problem again, he immediately slapped his face and hurried over.

"Hold on to the wall, you are about to sit down, but no one thinks you are tired. Rumor has it that Prince Tang was so frightened by the enemy troops that he fell to the ground with his legs fighting."

"To be even more outrageous, I might even say that you were scared to death. If this statement comes out, your image will be ruined."

Li Yi glanced at Tang Zhenghao, then moved his eyes away, and said casually.

"Aren't all of them here yours?" Tang Zhenghao looked sideways at Li Yi and then looked into the distance.

"Gossip can't be stopped. It's just a casual conversation and it's gone."

"Approximately how many people will there be?" Liao Ji asked with a deep expression.

"Looking at this movement, it won't be less than 120,000." Tang Zhenghao frowned and said.

Tang Zhengqi took a bow and put it into a posture. Well, he was not very interested in talking about this, and preferred to do it.

Li Yi called Guo Tan, "Have you found out? How many people are there this time?"

"Sir, Duke Du, 160,000."

160,000? Li Yi's face slightly condensed, there are really many of them. Is the eldest prince planning to send out the entire army? If this is the case, the soldiers behind are bound to follow, wave after wave.

"Archers prepare!"

“Push the hot oil over here!”

"In addition, place the wood and rocks. The wind is southeast today. Look at the wind direction. It won't change in a short time. Prepare lime, chili powder, and burning charcoal immediately."

"Ask the military doctor if there is any effective medicinal powder, and bring it over."

There are only 30,000 soldiers on the city wall. Depending on the terrain, even if the eldest prince's army can be driven back in the end, the loss will never be small.

Li Yi has always been reluctant to leave his own people.

He had to take them back home if he could.

Guo Tan went to do it immediately. Tang Zhenghao and Liao Ji looked at Li Yi with the same look in their eyes. This guy was not only cunning, he was also sinister.

With all his efforts, it's a wonder that the eldest prince and the others still have eyes to attack the city under the strong wind.

It will be a mess by then.

The more people there are, the more casualties there will be in the event of a stampede, which will make the eldest prince feel distressed.

"Li Yi, I would rather offend a villain than a woman. I think this may need to be changed."

Tang Zhenghao had a stern look on his face, "Whether a woman is a woman or not is a trivial matter. Only someone as cunning and sinister as you can't be offended, so stay away."

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm well-deserved. I've always been willing to be inferior in front of the eldest son."

Li Yifeng said lightly, he has never lost in a verbal battle.

At this time, the defenders came up, and Li Yi originally told them to rest. The defenders had been in a stalemate with the eldest prince before, and both of them were strong crossbows, especially the commander in charge.

But when the guard heard that the eldest prince was coming to tackle the problem again, there was nowhere to rest. Li Yi was immature, and if he was frightened, it would be the end.

"Dr. Zhongling."

"Let's take a look when you come." Li Yi glanced at him and moved to the side to give him a place.

When the 160,000-strong army came up close, one glance at the neatly arranged troops and the pervasive aura of murder was quite shocking.

"Don't be in a hurry. Hold on tight. When they get closer, the archers will come first." Li Yi looked calm and spoke calmly, and the guards around him immediately went to pass the order.

The guard looked at Li Yi. If nothing else, his composure was still acceptable.

Li Yi's eyes were fixed on the army below, watching them approach step by step. When they reached a distance, he raised his hand, and then waved it down.

"put!"

Arrows immediately shot out like rain.
