"Rengui, you set off first with the vanguard composed of 10,000 troops under review, and Su Dingfang will start with the remaining 20,000 troops after a little preparation."

Coming out of the Daming Palace, Li Kuan called Xue Rengui to him.

Although he also serves as the head of the guard of the Chu Palace, the actual guard work is mainly done by Xi Junmai and Wang Xuanwu.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, this 10,000-strong army was originally the elite of the twelve guards, and now after another month of running-in, there will definitely be no problem with it."

Xue Rengui was very excited when he heard that he would be the deputy head of the Longyou Dao march.

Although the last time it was also against the 100,000 army of the Xue Yantuo people, it was more by trickery to win.

This time is different, although Li Kuan also seconded the hot air balloon camp to him, but Xue Yantuo, who has suffered losses, will definitely not be so afraid of hot air balloons anymore, and they also have their own countermeasures.

Xue Rengui's fantasy of a dignified and upright war is finally coming.

Once he defeated the Xue Yantuo people, he could imagine with his toes that his future was bright.

"This time, there is no guarantee that there will be a fierce battle with the Xue Yantuo people, and I will ask Jun Mai to accompany you with five hundred guards. Yi Nan wants to take the chestnut from the fire, we will completely cut off his hand, and it is best to take this opportunity to let Xue Yantuo completely enter the dust of history. ”

In Li Kuan's planning, the grassland where the Xue Yantuo people are located today will be the cotton planting area of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the potato planting area in the future.

Of course, the pasture must also be kept, but it is definitely not the scene of the past thousand years, where various tribes take turns to be the king of the mountain.

"Lord Wang, those guards should stay with you, in case Xue Yantuo also arranged for people to sneak into Chang'an City to find an opportunity to make trouble while invading, it would be troublesome. This time, the army was all equipped with crossbows and armor newly made by the Shosho, and his subordinates were confident of victory. ”

The guards of the Chu Wangfu are only more than 1,000 people in total, and they are still distributed all over the place, if 500 people are taken away, the defense of the Chu Wangfu will become very empty.

Xue Rengui knew that Li Kuan had also offended many people in Chang'an City, so of course he didn't want any accidents to happen.

"What are you polite to this king, the person in this world who can take my life has not yet been born. By the way, although the people of Xue Yantuo have experience in the attack of the hot air balloon camp, but sometimes, one trick is fresh, and it is eaten all over the world. Zhu Fufu is by your side, you don't have to worry about damage, let them shoot when it's time for the hot air balloon battalion to shoot. ”

Li Kuan's support for Xue Rengui this time is very large.

In a way, this is also the time to avenge the little corn.

……

At the headquarters of the Lao Niu Transport Team, Niu Zhu is persuading Lao Hansan.

"Han San, as I said before, whether it is Liangzhou or Shuozhou, they are all located in the frontier, and accidents may happen at any time, so we can still develop well in Chang'an City. You see, something happened now, right? ”

Niu Zhu had already agreed to Lao Hansan's plan to expand his business in Liangzhou, but he didn't expect that in less than a day, the situation would completely change.

Xue Yantuo's 100,000 army invaded Liangzhou!

This news spread throughout Chang'an City on the second day of the fifth month.

"Datang Daily" even postponed the publication by an hour in order to change the headlines.

When this kind of thing happened, it was naturally impossible for Lao Hansan to take someone to Liangzhou immediately.

"Niu Zhu, my opinion is the opposite of yours. Originally, we thought about developing in Liangzhou and letting Shuozhou go. Now I feel like I can develop both sides at the same time. As long as the war is over, Liangzhou and Shuozhou will usher in a new wave of development. Without the hindrance of the Xueyantuos, their prospects would be much better. ”

Lao Hansan was more radical than Niu Zhu, and felt that now was the best time to develop the Lao Niu transport team.

If you miss the good times of these years, maybe other convoys will come out on top.

"Han San, although I am also very confident in the soldiers, but after all, the Xue Yantuo people have an army of 100,000, and even if they win, it will take a lot of time. When the time comes, the Xue Yantuo people will drill into the depths of the grassland, and come out again every once in a while to plunder, can Liangzhou City still be as prosperous as it is now? ”

Although Niu Zhu's idea is more pessimistic, it can be regarded as representing the views of some people in Chang'an.

"So, let's make a bet. If the army does not solve the Xue Yantuo people in Liangzhou within a month, we will first shelve the plan to develop in Liangzhou; But if we Datang completely destroy the Xue Yantuo people, then we will go to the Datang Royal Money House to borrow 10,000 yuan, and expand our business to Shuozhou and Liangzhou at the same time. When the time comes, the two of us will divide into two roads, and each will take a group of men to two places. What do you think? ”

Lao Hansan did not want to part ways with Niu Zhu because of the difference in philosophy.

So simply threw such a bet.

"Okay, then do as you say!"

Niu Zhu thought about it for a while and agreed!

……

"Rush!"

"The first warrior to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins! Five women! ”

"Quick! Here's it! ”

Under the outer city of Liangzhou, Dadu, as the youngest son of Yi Nan, personally commanded the army to attack on the front line.

Yi Nan promised in front of a group of leaders that whichever tribe contributed the most during the siege of the city, the more they could get when the spoils were divided.

Yesterday, Yi Nan had already distributed the loot captured outside the city.

The tribes were very satisfied.

With barely a few men lost, such a huge spoils of war were obtained, and everyone was confident in this invasion.

Naturally, when it came to attacking the city today, it was much more active.

Those people had heard that there were much more goods and money in the city than outside the city, and they didn't want to be left behind.

It's just that no one has thought about it, and if they have a life to take the loot, they don't know if there is a life flower.

"General, don't you use the oil bomb yet? These Xueyantuo people are about to board. ”

On the city wall, Niu Jinda personally supervised the battle.

"Don't worry, this is just a tentative attack by the Xue Yantuo people, and there will be more intense in a while. If we can't even resist this kind of attack, then it's useless to throw more oil bombs. ”

Although there are bed crossbows and fire oil bombs on the city wall, Niu Jinda is ready to use them later.

Of course, the fact that bed crossbows and fire oil bombs are not used does not mean that they will not fight back.

All kinds of rolling stones were thrown from the city wall.

Many Xue Yantuo people, who had climbed halfway up the ladder, fell from mid-air.

You don't have to fall to your death right away, but if you are hit by a rolling stone, you're basically useless.

"Haha, Tang Jun is nothing more than that!"

Yi Nan was five hundred meters outside the city wall, watching the attack.

Although no Xue Yantuo has successfully climbed the city wall, Yi Nan is very happy.

After only a quarter of an hour of siege, they had already rushed under the city walls and began to climb the walls.

The progress of this Yi Nan's imagination is much faster.

According to his estimate, if it goes well, he will be able to rest in Liangzhou City tonight.

"Great Khan, beware of deception! The resistance of the Tang Army is so weak, it's a bit abnormal. ”

Wang Dengke reminded Yi Nan beside him.

"Wang Taifu, didn't you already find out yesterday, there are 10,000 defenders in Liangzhou who have gone and the last city has been rotated. The soldiers and horses went out, but they have not yet returned. It is equivalent to the already small number of defenders in Liangzhou and 10,000 fewer troops. So it's normal that the resistance has become weak now. ”

Yi Nan felt that he had the chance to win, and a heroic feeling surged in his heart.

"Pass the order, the army will attack in full force, and we will finish eating in the city tonight! Tell the brothers that when the city of Liangzhou is broken, it will be the day they enjoy happiness. The white-skinned and delicate woman of the Tang people is still waiting for you inside! ”

Yi Nan didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and after a simple trial, the whole army was dispatched.

At this moment, in front of the entire city wall, a large crowd of people immediately appeared.

During the National Day parade, a team of 10,000 people could feel the shock, and now 100,000 people are attacking together, not to mention.

"Brothers, follow me!"

Bazhuo also pulled out his scimitar, and rushed forward with a team of men and horses in the lead.

Liangzhou's weakness is beyond everyone's imagination, and no one wants to be a person who enters the city later.

"General, the distance between the enemy's large forces is four hundred meters!"

"Three hundred meters!"

Niu Jinda is next to someone to report the situation at any time.

"Bed crossbow ready!"

"Shoot!"

"Whoosh!"

A bed crossbow with a small arm shot out of the city wall and flew towards Xue Yantuo's crowd.

Although it was a high shot down, because it was separated by a few hundred meters, the bed crossbow could still harvest the Xue Yantuo people like a meat skewer.

Hundreds of bed crossbows were fired at the same time, and hundreds of Xue Yantuo people immediately turned into human meat skewers.

However, this loss was nothing in an army of 100,000, and soon these unfortunate men were trampled to the ground by the soldiers and horses behind them, and turned into a pile of mud.

The army, which had been delayed for a moment, continued to rush towards the city walls.

"Catapult, launch!"

Niu Jinda sneered, and when Xue Yantuo's army approached the city wall a hundred meters away, he gave them a generous gift again.

The equipment originally used to throw stones has not weakened at all after being transformed into a fire oil bomb.

Soon, a part of the incendiary bombs with special substances added to them burned in Xue Yantuo's army.

In just an instant, Xue Yantuo's army in front of the city wall was cut into two ends.

Many of them rushed directly into the fire because they didn't have time to stop, and felt the taste of barbecue.

Yi Nan, who was still elated, was dripping blood in his heart.

This wave of fire and oil bombs alone brought direct and indirect damage to at least thousands of people to the Xue Yantuo people.

What's even worse is that the momentum that has just been indomitable has been stopped.

Although there were still many soldiers and horses ahead that had not been attacked by the fire and oil bombs, they continued to advance under the city walls, and soon began to climb the ladder.

But the troops behind didn't keep up, and the kind of picture that Yi Nan wanted didn't appear.

"Continue to roll the stone sassholes, and after a quarter of an hour start throwing fire oil bombs down."

Niu Jinda sneered, ready to let Xue Yantuo feel his ability to defend the city.

Defend the city, I am the professional!

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Bang!"

All sorts of screams spread across the battlefield.

In the sky, a flock of crows are flying around, making a sound of "wow~wow~" from time to time.

In the distance, some scented vultures flew towards the battlefield one after another.

"Mingjin retreats!"

It's just that less than an hour has passed, and Yi Nan can't stand such a loss.

Although many of these people who rushed to the front were men and horses from various tribes, they were not the descendants of Yi Nan.

But the people who are led by Bazhuo and Dadu are all the elite of Xue Yantuo.

Seeing that the army of 100,000 was immediately gone, Yi Nan's heart was dripping blood.

The most important thing is that at this moment, he can't see the hope of taking Liangzhou City immediately.

On the left and right, some of the tribesmen who took refuge obviously did not want to rush forward.

This battle can't be fought today!

Yi Nan still has this vision.

The Xue Yantuo people in front heard the signal of Mingjin to withdraw their troops, and immediately turned around and ran back.

These Tang people are so scary!

Throw the oil bombs out like the ones that don't want money!

The most important thing is that this fire oil bomb is very evil, and it is difficult to extinguish it if it is stained.

That's really burned to death.

Who isn't afraid?

"General, Xue Yantuo has retreated!"

Shangguan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the city tower.

He was really worried that Liangzhou City would be captured today, and it would be miserable.

"For the time being, they have retreated, but I estimate that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they will continue to attack the city on a large scale. Today they are a little careless, otherwise they will not lose so many manpower at once, and it will be even more difficult to deal with next time. ”

Niu Jinda didn't have a smug look on his face.

It's not time to get complacent.

"I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive, if the Xue Yantuo people attack the city regardless of the losses, it will be really troublesome."

Shangguan Yi looked at some of the wounded soldiers on the city wall, his face worried.

Although the Xue Yantuo people did not succeed in attacking the city wall, there were still many arrows that hit the city wall, bringing some casualties to the Tang army.

"We still have enough fire oil bombs, even if Yi Nan keeps attacking with all the troops, we can last at least three or five days. They Xue Yantuo want to capture our Liangzhou, and if tens of thousands of people don't die, don't even think about it. ”

Niu Jinda sneered, looked at the retreating Xue Yantuo people in the distance, and began to think about the matter of defending the city tomorrow.

"The walls of this outer city are not high, and the rolling wood and stones accumulate under the city walls, and when the time comes, they will not need to use any ladders to climb the city walls, how is this good?"

Shangguan Yi looked at the tragic situation under the city wall and felt that it was not a way to go on like this.

"Shangguan Assassin Shi, don't worry, we still have explosives bags that are useless."

Niu Jinda had a mysterious smile on his face.

This explosive bag only began to equip the defenders of Liangzhou last year, and Niu Jinda wanted to know how it would be like for the people of Xue Yantuo to climb the wall with bombs on their feet at that time.

"Explosives packs? Is it made by the Ministry of Gunpowder Bureau? ”

Shangguan Yi didn't know much about explosives, but the image was relatively profound.

"That's right!"

"If there's an explosives bag, then I'm relieved!"
