Chapter 543
"Now, is there anyone who is willing to share my worries?" Li Er sat back in the rocking chair a little depressed.
"Back then, everyone was beating the world with their bare butts. At that time there was nothing but one life. If you don't let it out, where will you come from? Now it's different, all of them have families and jobs. Standing on the house and lying on the ground, there are groups of beautiful wives and concubines and children and grandchildren at home. All care about enjoyment, who is willing to fight with their lives. My Majesty, it is human nature to indulge in indulgence and indulgence. People who are naturally willing to work, in fact, you can't find a few in the world.
Besides, isn't there a lonely scheme? On the Taiji Palace, didn't he say that he was willing to lead troops to the Western Regions? Yun Hao knew that Li Er was sad for his honor in the Manchu Dynasty. The affluent life has worn out their fighting spirit, and the old commanders who hold military power are now reluctant to go to war.
If it weren't for the appearance of his son-in-law Dugumou, Li Er's face would have completely fallen to the ground. The feeling of being slapped in the face by his own courtiers must be very bad, so he came to the Yun family to vent.
"Lonely Scheme! Did he succeed? Do you want to be a widow? Li Er's eyes stared at Yun Hao like a tiger.
It was very uncomfortable to be stared at like a tiger, "Your Majesty! Dugu Mou is two years older than Chen, and after going through the battle array, he is also a famous general, so he should be fine! ”
"No problem? He went to the Western Regions, not only Zhang Liang couldn't come back, but he couldn't come back, believe it or not. Two years older than you, he's a human ......! Can I compare to you? Li Er said viciously.
Your sister! Your son-in-law is a human being, what is Lao Tzu?
"You're a demon!" Li Er pointed to Yun Hao's nose and said.
Looking at the angry emperor, Yun Hao decided to pinch his nose and admit the fact that he was a demon. Li Er's mood is obviously abnormal now, and people can't be like a madman, especially if this madman is still an emperor.
"The Dugu family has killed sixteen men for my Li family, and Dugu Kai was trampled into powder by Yujuluo in Tongguan, and he couldn't even find a corpse in the capital. Dugu Yanyun, followed me to build Yuanji. Also died under the swords of the Turks!
There is only one seedling left in the Dugu family, and I will marry Ankang to him. Until now, there are no heirs born, you have a friendship with Dugu Kai and Dugu Yanyun. You can't bear it, watching Dugu plot to die in the desert, and Dugu's family will be cut off? ”
"Uh......!" Yun Hao was speechless, treating infertility, obviously Sun Simiao was more authoritative than Lao Tzu. Why do you tell Lao Tzu about this, don't you just want Lao Tzu to go to the Western Regions to eat sand instead of your unlucky son-in-law. Get that idiot Zhang Liang out, and it's best to kill those Persians with ease.
Don't go! Don't go to the death! What's the good thing about the desert, Lao Tzu has a peaceful day, but he goes there to eat sand? Besides, you are muddy as a Persian. How many scientific and technological achievements have been poached from Datang over the years, and those bastards don't care about anything for money. People have gunpowder, and people have oil. Even the hot air balloons were drummed out! You have a hairy advantage!
"Hey......! Datang, is there really no courtier who is willing to share my worries? Seeing that Yun Hao didn't speak, Li Er began to play the sadness card.
No one knew better than Li Er what kind of war was about to take place in the Western Regions. Thanks to Yun Hao's efforts, the war has developed into firearms in an all-round way. The veterans of the Tang Dynasty are actually not used to the war of firearms time. In fact, personal bravery can no longer take advantage of anything in war.
The situation of the war was changed because of Yun Hao, so this war was best commanded by Yun Hao. And only he knows best what the upcoming war will look like.
The Strait Castle was built by Yun Hao, so the Strait Castle resisted the Persian attack. And in the Western Regions, Yun Hao has not set foot there from beginning to end. So Zhang Liang was besieged in Almaty!
Li Er is not worried about the Strait Castle, and even Yu Chi Baolin, Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu They are preparing to take the army to the Persian coast to do a vote.
What Li Er was really worried about was the Western Regions, and Yun Hao's words were already tempting. Datang now has no ability to eat the vast land of the Western Regions, and it is better to give up than to occupy it at the expense of the people and money. It's just that Datang can give up the Western Regions, but it definitely can't give up like this. Being chased away like a dog is something that Li Er absolutely can't accept.
**********************************************************************
Since the airship appeared, Zhang Liang's mood has improved. When the imperial court learned of the news of Almaty, it would definitely send reinforcements. Chusri, who stayed in the Tingzhou Governor's Office, would not rashly send troops to fall into an ambush by the Persians.
He looked at the food reserves in the city, and Han Dewang said that he could eat for five months was definitely a modest statement. If rationing is strictly enforced, it will not be a problem to eat for eight months. The best-case scenario is that it's winter and it's just snowing heavily. In other words, there can be no shortage of water in the city for at least three months.
Three months was enough time for the Tang Dynasty to organize an army, and now it only takes a few days to get from Chang'an to Yumen Pass. Three hundred miles outside the Yumen Pass, the construction of fortresses and railways has begun. When I came to the Western Regions, the railway had already been opened. In other words, the army of the Tang Dynasty could go directly from Chang'an to Yumen Pass for 300 miles without loss. And only then the march began!
As long as they hold out for more than three months, the Persians are finished. His own merits will be in hand, and when the time comes, he can leave with his supreme military exploits. Losing a son, but being able to win the wealth of at least three generations of the Zhang family, no matter how you look at it, is worth it.
"We need to attack, if we allow the Dons to get supplies. We will be delayed here by the Dons, and then eaten by the reinforcements that the Dons rushed over. When he saw another airship swaying away from the inner city, Li Deyu came to Yusuf's tent again. If Yousuf didn't listen to his dissuasion this time, Li Deyu decided to leave here. He did not want to be buried in the sand of Almaty as Yusuf's companion.
"Alright! I promise you! "Yusuf can't help it, the policy of encircling and sending reinforcements doesn't work. In fact, as long as there is a steady stream of supplies through the airship. The Tang people could drag themselves to death here, and transport baggage from Persia to an astonishing amount of money. Yusuf felt that he would definitely not have to stay up for as long as the Tang people.
This time of his own crusade to the east, he has already achieved enough results. Plundered a lot of wealth and slaves, now just bring these things back to the caliph. That's a great achievement, if you can bring the head of the Duke of the Tang Empire, the caliph will definitely jump with joy.
Every time the airship leaves, Yusuf's nerves are involved. In fact, Yusuf was very afraid that Zhang Liang would escape in an airship.
Li Deyu came, but he still asked to attack. Yusuf felt that this was something he could not want, and after conquering the inner city and sacking Almaty, he retreated. The airship that flew around all day gave him a lot of pressure. His army has already been bombed on a small scale. Presumably because the airship was carrying too many supplies and not more bombs. Otherwise, the losses will be very heavy.
Li Deyu, who got permission, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and left!
In fact, Li Deyu has not been idle in the past ten days. Influenced by his father since he was a child, he already knew the essence of the Six Army Mirror before the book was written.
Li Deyu has not been idle these days, but has been busy with one thing. That's digging tunnels!
From ancient times to the present, digging tunnels is a good way to break through a fortified city. It's just that when the tunnel is dug into the city, the tunnel entrance is very small and can only be passed by one person at a time. This greatly limits the power of the tunnel and the efficiency of the entry and exit of soldiers, if someone finds the tunnel entrance. Superior forces are blocked outside, and then water and smoke are poured inside. The soldiers in the entire tunnel will become the spokesperson of the word miserable.
Li Deyu's tunnels didn't have to take such a risk, because he only had to dig under the city walls. As a veteran, Zhang Liang will not even know such conventional methods as burying a vat underground.
After more than ten days of excavation, the tunnel is already very close to the city wall. Just when Li Deyu found Yousuf and wanted to make a final attempt. The soldier's shovel had touched the foundation of the inner city wall.
Li Deyu was overjoyed to hear the news, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to dig out a huge hole.
After three days, 800 catties of gunpowder could be put into the cave. Such a big hole was dug that the walls have not yet collapsed. It's all because it's so fucking cold, and the whole foundation is covered in ice.
Today is the night of the full moon, after the Persians have prayed to the prophet in devotion. He picked up the sword, and a pair of blood-red eyes shimmered in the silver moonlight. The men were enough to hide in their bunkers, waiting for the loud bang. After that, they will rush into the smoke and go on a killing spree.
A warrior lit the incense and ran for his life. It was a long way back, and he didn't know if he would be buried alive in the collapsed tunnel.
Yusuf and Li Deyu watched from a high place with binoculars, and tonight was the time for a decisive battle. They don't want to miss a single detail!
Li Deyu chose the time at an hour before dawn, which is the time when people sleep the deadliest. The Tang army has been besieged for so long, it should have slackened. No one can live a life that is mentally stressed every day!
Li Deyu handed two balls of cotton to Yousuf and motioned for him to plug his ears. The result was rejected by Yusuf!
He had a quirk, and that was how a person who loved to hear such a deafening roar, and who loved even thunder, could give up such a moment of enjoyment.
The city wall seemed to jump up, and the Tang soldiers on duty on the city wall seemed to have grown wings and flew into the air, the sound was not loud, it was very dull, and the shock wave generated after the explosion made people unable to breathe for a moment.
The horses let out a wail and kept standing still, the shaking ground made them feel extremely uncomfortable, and the gravel fell not far in front of the horse!
The warriors from the temple howled and rushed into the smoke, ignoring the fact that there was still rubble and large chunks of earth falling from the sky. Nothing could be seen clearly in the thick smoke, and by the time they saw through the smoke again, they were already in the city.
Whether they were injured or alive, they all seemed to be resigned to fate, and a Tang soldier who was crawling between the stones with a broken leg saw the Persian walk in, howled, and picked up a stone and threw it over.
