Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

Qin Qiong patted Hu Lei's horse's head lightly, whispered something in his ear, and then handed the horse to Xu Chu himself.

"General Xu, this war horse has fought against this old man for a lifetime, and this battle is now his last dance, right?"

Qin Qiong's expression was a little downcast. In the past, he was the one who charged on the horse, but now he borrowed the horse, which shows the sadness in his heart.

"Thank you!"

Xu Chu didn't say much when he got on the horse. He also knew that it was useless to talk more in this situation. The best reward was to kill and wound the enemy more.

"Everyone, follow a certain family."

Xu Chu took the lead and rushed to the front, his aura was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and he smashed the enemies surrounding the gate of the city to pieces.

"Quick fight."

Xu Chu roared and rushed towards the enemy's ladder first. Their purpose was to clean up the enemies under the city and destroy the enemy's ladder.

It may be that the enemy is really not good at siege warfare, or it may be because the enemy did not expect Li Wenhao to be so decisive and send people out to clean up the city wall when his troops are empty.

They couldn't stop Xu Chu and the others, and there was nothing they could do with them, even if they wanted to use bows and arrows, because they would hurt their own people first.

"hateful!"

The enemy commander standing on the podium cursed secretly, and continued to wave the command flag to let these Shiwei people attack.

"Prepare for the next step of the battle plan."

Facts have proved that the enemy is definitely not unprepared to come, and the formation just outside a few city gates is unusual.

Following the order of the enemy general, the enemy's army retreated like a tide, forming a large formation with sharp edges and corners, completely surrounding Fan Yangcheng.

"This……"

Li Shimin and Li Wenhao were completely dumbfounded. This kind of order and prohibition, to be honest, was only found in the absolute elite troops in the Tang Dynasty. How can a random foreign race be like this now?

"No, there must be an inner ghost among us. Who is it?"

Li Wenhao and Li Shimin looked at each other, they both had the same thought in their minds, someone definitely passed on the cultural treasures left over by the Han people for thousands of years.

Moreover, the most important military book was passed on.

As I said earlier, although the Tang Dynasty welcomes all nations to come and exchange cultures, no one would be stupid enough to pass on the art of war to foreigners, let alone the formation?

While the two were contemplating, Guo Jia also walked over with a solemn expression.

"Things are even worse than we thought. The enemy not only knows formations, but also connects the enemy troops outside the four city gates together."

"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is a picture drawn by Yu Qian, Liu Bowen, and Jia Xu. According to the picture, now, our Fanyang City is the core of this formation. We are surrounded by eight gates composed of tens of thousands of people Surrounded by the Golden Lock Formation"

"what?"

Li Shimin was taken aback, but Li Wenhao wasn't too surprised, after all, he didn't understand formations.

"It seems that they really came prepared."

"Not only that, Your Majesty, now, we may really have to fight the enemy for consumption."

"Your Majesty knows the power of the eight-door golden lock formation. If you want to break the formation, you must have a brave general. But now the enemy is a large formation with a middle formation, and a middle formation with a small formation. If we want to break the formation, at present In terms of the strength of the troops, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult."

"Me too?"

Li Wenhao asked stubbornly.

"No."

Faced with Guo Jia's shaking of the head, Li Wenhao was also helpless. His manpower would eventually run out. After all, Li Yuanba didn't really kill millions of anti-kings on Siping Mountain, it was just an exaggerated description.

"What should I do?"

Li Wenhao spread his hands.

"Stick and wait for help!"

Li Shimin and Guo Jia spoke at the same time.

They were afraid that Li Wenhao had never fought a defensive battle in his life, and if he rushed out on impulse, it would be troublesome.

"It's a pity that my Hebei army is not around, otherwise there are hundreds of thousands of barbarians in the district, what's the point?"

At this moment, Li Wenhao really wanted to pull Song Ci out for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, this is absolutely not acceptable. If Song Ci is really pulled out, I am afraid that Hebei will spend the next two years disposing of corpses, which is not in the interests of .

"Is there no other way?"

"Ran Min has already been sent back to his teacher in Goguryeo. Now that the enemy is powerful, I am going to let Li Cunxiao's Feihu battalion guard the outskirts of Yanshan Mountain, while Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan will directly return to help."

"how long?"

Guo Jia shook his head. Now the only news they can know is the place where the eyes can see. When they leave Fan Yang, they are blind and don't know what is going on outside Fan Yang. If the enemy's army spreads all the way, Yuan Chonghuan and Yue Fei may want to go back. Aid is also difficult.

"I am in the Yuyang Camp in the south of Fanyang City. There are also the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion. In addition to some reserves, there are also 20 soldiers and horses. These people are also capable soldiers."

The Five Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion can be said to be Li Wenhao's last cards. If the situation is not good, he can only resort to the last move, give up Fan Yang, and run away with his family and important officials around him.

Stick to Huaibi Pass, Yanmen Pass and the Valley of the Dead, cut off the Grand Canal, and trap the enemy in Hebei.

Of course, this is the last resort. If there is any hope, Li Wenhao will not give up Hebei. After all, he has managed Hebei for many years, and now he has built Hebei into the richest place in the world. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't feel sorry for him.

Just when Li Wenhao and others were preparing to meet the next wave of more violent attacks from the enemy, the enemy did not attack the city, but just surrounded Fan Yang, as if they were waiting for something, or they just wanted to trap Li Wenhao here, and have other purposes.

"What the hell are they trying to do?"

Looking at the brightly lit city, Li Wenhao rubbed his head helplessly. Now Li Changge and Ashinayun's stomachs are getting bigger day by day. He doesn't want his two children to be born in the flames of war.

"I know, I know!"

While Li Wenhao and Li Shimin were discussing important matters, Yu Qian stumbled in with Guo Jia and others.

"I know their goal. They don't want to fight Fan Yang at all. No, it should be said that they can fight if they can, and they can surround them if they can't. Their real goal is here."

Yu Qian pointed at the sand table, and seeing where Yu Qian was pointing, a group of people shook their heads in doubt.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, you see, if the enemy advances westward here, bypasses Yuyang, bypasses the Valley of the Dead, and turns to Datong, Xuanhua, and then enters Tongguan, then we will be in the Valley of the Dead, Huaibi Pass, including Hulao The defenses set up by Guan have no effect at all."

"The enemy, on the other hand, can use Tongguan as a springboard to go south. When the time comes to block the Yangtze River and block the Grand Canal, our Tang Dynasty will be directly divided into two by the enemy."

"And we don't have many soldiers in the south..."

"The thief dares!"

None of you here are fools. What Yu Qian said is obvious enough. At that time, the northern and southern imperial courts will come across the river. Such a pass, the initiative is also in the hands of the enemy in a disguised form.

"No."

"This is absolutely impossible, what can you do?"

"us……"

Guo Jia stammered half of what he said.

"Say, innocent,"

"I suspect that in addition to the purpose that Sir Yu said, the enemy may also want to occupy Guanzhong. After all, there are Hulao Pass and Tongguan. Their occupation of Guanzhong is almost equivalent to occupying the entire Longyou."

"Moreover, they can cut off our connection with the Western Conqueror Army. I'm afraid that nearly a million warriors from the Tang Dynasty will have to bury their bones elsewhere."

"Good! Good!"

"It's so ruthless!"

"I, Li Wenhao, didn't bother them, but instead they're giving us a world-wide attack?"

"Have Huihe and Tuyuhun made any moves now?"

"Forget it, whether they have it or not, they don't need to exist anymore."

"Lu Wenzhao, now, no matter what method you use, you must pass the news back to Chang'an."

"Secret my uncle as the head of the Guannei Road Marching Army."

"The Jinwu Guards, Qianniu Guards, and the leading guards in Chang'an City are all commanded by him. One purpose, within three days after receiving the news, a large army must be stationed in Tongguan."

"My Li family God of War, Li Xiaogong, sent an order to Bashu to tell him that it's time to come out from Shu to exercise."

"Let him command one hundred thousand troops to guard the Jiange Road for me."

"Order Li Shentong to let him use all the navy in Xiangfan to sail down the Yangtze River and block the mouth of the Grand Canal."

"I don't care, I am the Great Tang Dynasty, can I let such a small Shi Wei person be wiped out?"

"Your Highness, is it not appropriate to transfer the troops from Bashu and Xiangfan?"

"The army under Bai Qi's command was drawn from various armies."

"Besides, using the King Chu's long soldiers, I'm afraid..."

Jia Xu reminded carefully.

"It's okay, my uncle, I know it well, internal fighting is fine, but outsiders absolutely can't intervene."

"Add a sentence to the letter to my uncle. If Changge's first birth is a son, as long as it is not mud that cannot support the wall in the future, it will be the grandson of the emperor."

hiss……

Everyone present took a breath, and even Li Shimin was surprised by his son's determination.

Since he became emperor, including this time, he has used Li Jiancheng twice, but the price he paid each time was impossible for Li Jiancheng to refuse.

For the first time, Li Wenhao married Li Changge and made him the crown princess, the future queen.

But this time, it was even more ruthless, directly promising the position of grandson. To put it simply, would Li Jiancheng compete with his grandson for the throne?

Taking a step back, Li Jiancheng also had to consider in his own mind, whether he had a high success rate in rebellion?

If I'm being honest, as long as my grandson doesn't go astray, wouldn't the future emperor still have his share?

"Go, forge it! Cover it with my jade seal."

Li Shimin nodded and said,

After all, compared with the resolution of this great war, the position of grandson is light for him.

If he loses this match, let alone a grandson, he might not even be a prince.

"Order Xu Da's department to march into Taiyuan and Luoyang."

"Order Yuan Chonghuan to rush to the outside of Fanyang City within five days."

"In addition, Xu Chu, Jia Fu, you two, went out of the city overnight through the secret road, took my soldier talisman Xingye to the Yuyang Camp, and called up the 20 warriors from the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion."
