"Your Majesty, although this Jinxia Pass is guarded by tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, it is insignificant for the hundreds of thousands of horses and horses of our army."

"It only takes Marshal Xue's order to move all the siege equipment to Jinxia Pass, and it is estimated that it won't be long before Jinxia Pass will be taken." Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

Seeing Li Tai's solemn expression, he didn't make Li Zhi so angry that he vomited blood. He secretly said in his heart: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, you are really not ordinary cunning. ”

However, Li Tai didn't want to make a move, and Li Zhi really had no way to take him. However, you Li Tai has your own Zhang Liang plan, and Li Zhi naturally has his own ladder over the wall.

So Li Zhi opened his mouth and said to Xue Rengui: "What the imperial brother said is very true, then Brother Xue Wang will prepare and send troops to take Jinxia Pass." lest Xiliang reinforcements arrive. ”

"Emperor Qiqi, if it is almost afternoon today, even if you launch an attack now, you may not be able to take Jinxia Pass before dark. It's not too late to storm the city early tomorrow morning. Xue Rengui opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

In ancient times, it was rare for the two armies to fight at night, after all, it was difficult for both the offensive and defensive sides to take care of the overall situation when the line of sight was not good.

In the end, even if you win, the price you pay will definitely be much greater than during the day. Of course, there is a premeditated robbery, then it is another matter.

So Li Zhi also nodded, and said to Xue Rengui: "Since this is the case, then make all preparations tonight and launch an attack on Jinxia Pass early tomorrow morning." ”

"But I don't know how many people Brother Xue needs, and do you have any special needs of troops to assist?"

While Li Zhi was talking to Xue Rengui, he kept giving Xue Rengui a look. I hope Xue Rengui can order Li Tai.

Li Tai on the side naturally also discovered Li Zhi's small movements, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "It seems that I, the emperor's brother, have to let me make a move?" ”

So without waiting for Xue Rengui to order the general, Li Tai said very interestingly: "Your Majesty, Marshal Xue will attack Jinxia Pass tomorrow, and the minister is willing to lead troops to assist." I don't know what the emperor wants? ”

Seeing Li Tai so upright, Li Zhi couldn't help but be very happy in his heart. So he opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "If the imperial brother personally helps Brother Xue, then I will be even more relieved." ”

……

It was already late at night, and at this time Li Zhi had already gone back to his Huangluo tent to rest. However, the lights in the Chinese army's tent are still bright. Xue Rengui and a group of generals are discussing the siege of the city tomorrow.

"Everyone, early tomorrow morning, according to the arrangement of this commander, we will launch an attack on Jinxia Pass. Remember, tomorrow you must fight to win Jinxia Pass. Xue Rengui said to the generals.

The generals got up and saluted Xue Rengui, and then with a sigh, they left the Chinese army's tent one after another. Go back and prepare for tomorrow's siege.

In the end, in the big tent of the Chinese army, only Xue Rengui, Li Tai, Xu Maogong, Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin were left.

After the generals left, Cheng Yanjin said: "Your kid is going to fight tomorrow, are you going to use red-coated cannons and grenades?" ”

"Uncle Cheng, I don't believe in Generalissimo Xue's ability. Do you think with the deployment of our Generalissimo Xue, how long can this Jinxia Pass last? Li Tai said to Cheng Yanjin with a smile.

"Lord, my subordinates have been wanting to ask my lord these days. I don't know why this level is so easy to win. ”

"Now I heard Lu Guogong mention the red-coated cannon and the grenade, I don't know what these two things are? Presumably, there must be something related to the battle with the boundary card pass. Xue Rengui opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

Xue Rengui recognized Li Tai as the master, and several people present knew it. Therefore, Xue Rengui naturally did not need to hide it, and directly called Li Tai the main father.

"You're right, this king was able to win the Nether Pass so quickly, and let Hei Liandu and 80,000 Xiliang soldiers, none of them be able to live a glimmer of heaven. It was the redcoat cannon and the grenade that came with it. Li Tai nodded and said.

"What you kid said is not comprehensive, there should be all the people of Xiliang in the Jiepai Pass, right?" Cheng Yanjin said.

"If it is not my people, their hearts will be different, and tomorrow they will take Jinxia Pass, and this king feels that they should not be left behind. Only in this way can we deter Xiliang. Li Tai said without shame.

In Li Tai's eyes, the lives of these foreign people in Fanbang are nothing at all. In other words, when did these Fanbang aliens invade the borders of the Tang Dynasty, when did they take the people of the Tang Dynasty seriously?

"The lord's subordinates naturally understand, but if he does it in front of the emperor. I'm afraid the emperor may not agree. Xue Rengui said.

"Don't worry, the emperor will naturally have this king to explain. Remember the words of this king. Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Xue Rengui.

"After taking the Jiepai Pass, our army has almost no casualties. But that's not because your kid has the extraordinary combat effectiveness of the Youzhou Army, but because of the red-coated cannons and grenades. ”

"If you attack Jinxia Pass this time, you give up these must-win shots. If we switch to the traditional siege method, the casualties of our army will definitely increase greatly. ”

"You kid doesn't take the people of Fanbang and other races to heart, but our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, you can't ignore it." Wei Chigong opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

Hearing Wei Chigong's words, Li Tai said with a smile: "Uncle Wei Chi, don't button my hat, I don't dare to bear this sin of disregarding the life and death of a soldier." ”

"Besides, sooner or later, the red-coated cannon and grenade will be known to the emperor. Why should this king hide this? I'm going to wait until I get to Suoyang City and give Su Bao the same surprise. ”

"Even if he Su Baotong knew in advance, our army has red-coat cannons and grenades. But with the attack power of these two things. Even if he knew, he might not be able to think of any way to crack it. Wei Chigong said.

"Big Black is right, we can see the power of your kid's thing. I am afraid that there is no one in this world who can overcome them. Why do you hide it? Cheng Yanjin said.

"The two uncles can rest assured, if this Jinxia Pass is a difficult bone to gnaw. Needless to say, I will also use the red-coated cannon. ”

"However, this Jinxia Pass may not have any combat effectiveness, and the resistance suffered by our army tomorrow will definitely be minimal."

"If this king didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid that the defenders in Jinxia Pass have already begun to flee to Jietian Pass." Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin.

"I'll just say, when this kid will fight a battle that he is not sure of. But you're in a hurry there. I'm afraid that now that kid's men and horses have already entered Jinxia Pass. Cheng bit the gold and glanced at Wei Chi Gong and said.

"I said Cheng Biting Jin, I'm afraid it's not just me Wei Chigong who is worrying about it. Even you Cheng Biting Jin is not much better than me. Let's two and a half pounds, don't say anything about anyone. Yu Chigong opened his mouth and said to Cheng Yanjin.

"I mean, you two, when will you be able to listen to others finish their words and express their opinions? How old are you and still so frizzy, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by juniors. Xu Maogong, who had never spoken, said helplessly to Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin.
