Chapter 1056: Panic
"Father, they all say that Li Xin is powerful, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Learn what it used to be, even worse than before. On the city wall, Yang Wanchun and his son Yang Hebei pointed disdainfully at the distance and said: "It's all your leftovers, such a person can also be an emperor, he can also fight in the north and south, and he can unify the Central Plains, it's really a joke in the world." ”
Yang Wanchun looked into the distance, but saw a huge cloth curtain in the distance, and under the cloth curtain, people pushed the cart in and out from time to time. At first glance, you can tell that the place is digging tunnels, but is Li Xin really just digging tunnels? Yang Wanchun hesitated, as a commander, he didn't think that his enemy was really incompetent. There was nothing to dig tunnels to attack the city, many enemies used this method to attack the city, especially in the new city, the city is extremely strong, and it is normal to use the tunnel to attack the city, and he also knows that Li Xin once used gunpowder to blow up the city wall and attack the precedent of the city.
"Shoot more people, get more vats and put them in the trenches, this time Li Xin is different from Qin Qiong, he has more people on his hands, and he can use more, don't let him succeed, we are facing a great threat this time, once the city is breached, our Yang family will be cut alive by Li Xin." Yang Wanchun's face was solemn, and he said: "The new city was built, it was built by those captives of the Central Plains, and it was built by the Han people in the entire Liaodong, and our feet are actually the bones of the Central Plains people. ”
"Yes, don't worry, father, the child will always keep an eye on Li Xin." Yang Hebei also had a straight face and said: "Even if he really captures Xincheng, the 150,000 army will be killed and injured by tens of thousands. Hey! It seems that someone has been sent. What did Li Xin send someone to do at this time? Do you send the first level? Yang Hebei looked into the distance, only to see a cavalry rushing out of the Tang Dynasty military camp, the leader of the bow and arrows, a sharp arrow shot at the head of the city, right on the gate post of the arrow tower.
"The city is General Yang Wanchun, and His Majesty has a letter here." After the cavalry finished speaking, he turned and left. There is no chance for Yang Hebei. The angry Yang Hebei gritted his teeth.
"Father." Yang Wanchun took the sharp arrow handed by the soldier, and a note was tied to the sharp arrow.
"He wants to exchange the Central Plains soldiers in the city with us." Yang Wanchun frowned and said: "A Goguryeo soldier for a Central Plains soldier, Li Xin is really a good idea, if we don't change things, he will tell those soldiers to make them dissatisfied with the imperial court, and he himself can win the morale of the army, it is really a good calculation." ”
"Father, I can't change it. We should still have 400 Central Plains untouchables in our hands. Yang Hebei couldn't help but say: "These people are basically wasted, some people are dying, although the number is not large, but if you can exchange four hundred elite soldiers, it is also a very cost-effective deal." ”
"The Han people in the Central Plains are very expensive, and they sent someone to tell Li Xin that they want one Han person for three, not four soldiers." Yang Wanchun said disdainfully: "Doesn't he want to be a benevolent monarch?" Then fulfill him and send back 1,600 soldiers! A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Wanchun's mouth. It shows that he is very happy in his heart, and he wants to come, this is a bamboo pole sent to the door, and he does not knock on nothing. You can get more than 1,000 life forces. Where to find such a good thing.
"Yes, the child will go down and arrange it at once." Yang Hebei also laughed and said, "This Tang Emperor is really stupid. This kind of business also has to be done, and I think the Han people in the Central Plains are no more than that. ”
"I can't underestimate the Han people in the Central Plains, although I don't know what is going on the other side. But it's definitely not as simple as digging tunnels, you see, the soil they dug up was not transported to other places, but placed outside the camp, what did they want to do, piled up into a hill? Yang Wanchun suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.
"Father, what's wrong?" Yang Hebei looked at his father's appearance and said a little nervously.
"Li Xin is really vicious. He wanted to pile up mounds of earth and form hills, so that when the hills were higher than the walls, he could shoot arrows into the city and release stones from the hills to attack our city. Yang Wanchun only realized at this time that he was underestimating Li Xin, and even in the face of this situation, he didn't know how to solve it.
"Then let the child lead the army to kill these people and destroy this hill." Yang Hebei was shocked in his heart, and he also found that if he really reached that point, although the new city was strong, he might not be able to resist the bows and arrows shot from the hill and the stones thrown by trebuchets.
"It's impossible, look over there, there are already cavalry appearing, all in pitch black, full of bright light armor, I'm afraid it's Li Xin's guards." Yang Wanchun's face was gloomy, and he said to Yang Hebei beside him: "It is possible to defend the city by being beaten passively, but now I don't know, how long can Li Xin's mound be piled up, and a small hill will definitely not work, so I sent someone to tell Gai Suwen that we can only hold it for two months, and then let those people in the city go to cut down trees, and if the trees are not enough, use the door panel at home." They pile up mountains of earth, we will strengthen the city walls, we must not allow them to have an advantage in this regard, once the Tang army is allowed to shoot arrows from a high altitude, it will have an adverse impact on us. ”
Yang Wanchun didn't have any way, Goguryeo itself didn't have much troops, and he had more than 50,000 horses in his hands, Goguryeo's cavalry was lost in the battle of White Wolf Water, and the remaining cavalry was still in Liaodong City, and there was no organized cavalry in Xincheng at all, and there was no cavalry, which meant that you couldn't use the strong advantage of the cavalry to destroy the Tushan in front of you, and you could only watch the Tushan increase little by little.
"What kind of tunnel, it's all fake, Li Xin didn't think about attacking the city through the tunnel at all, what he wanted was to attack the city with Tushan. This is the conspiracy, and there is nothing we can do to change it. It's disgusting. Yang Wanchun couldn't help but slap on the battlements of the city wall, he was very distressed in his heart, because of this appearance, he couldn't change the situation at all, and the smug man who was just about to tease Li Xin disappeared without a trace.
Affectionate people come to exchange captives, not because they are afraid of themselves, but because they don't look down on themselves at all. People have long had an opinion about this city, that is, they want to slowly accumulate mountains of soil, and then take advantage of the geographical advantage to suppress the new city. The digging of the tunnel is simply an excuse, no, maybe it is homeopathic, it can produce the effect that is the best, it can't be produced, it doesn't matter, there is this large mound of earth, you can conquer the new city.
How long can he resist, half a month or a month, or more, Yang Wanchun was disappointed in his heart, in the face of strong strength, all means are useless, and without a strong cavalry, he can't stop the other party's actions. Maybe it's time to let Yang Hong leave the new city, at least to leave a bloodline and a glimmer of hope for the Yang family. Yang Wanchun found that Li Xin's casual move made him powerless to resist. (To be continued.) )
