Li's three armies waited outside Daxing for another three or five days. At least three times a day, he sent envoys to the city gate to shout, and it was repeatedly shown that the Lord of the present day was reckless in his military force, extravagant and extravagant, and poured all the world's resources into order to be complacent, and the Tang army entered the city only to depose the tyranny and support the establishment of the king to ascend the throne, and had no intention of usurping the throne and standing on his own. In order to avoid the misery of the lives and the suffering of the people, it is better to ask the generals who defend the city to open the city gate and welcome the Duke of Tang into the city.

Delivering words like this every day, but with no effect, they always taught Yin Shishi and Wei Wensheng to scold them back. Li Xiuning was already impatient, and urged the three armies to attack the city head-on. The other two armies also came every day to urge the siege of the city, and even Li Shimin's heart was like countless weeds growing in his heart, which made his heart itch unbearably from time to time.

The anxiety from top to bottom in the army finally stopped at noon on this day. A scout strode in outside the tent and reported urgently: "Qu Tutong really led his troops out of Hedong County and was intercepted by Mr. Liu at Tongguan, but Mr. Liu was slightly defeated, and Jiaoqu Tutong shot and injured his shoulder, although his life was not hindered, but the Sui soldiers were difficult to reach." ”

Li Shimin stood up, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously pressed his hand on the saber, "I'll go to help him." ”

Du Ruhui frowned tightly, and a profound word "Sichuan" appeared in the center of his eyebrows, "Erlang, you can't go, send five hundred Xuanjia troops to Mr. Liu for dispatch." ”

"Why can't I go when the Xuanjia Army goes?"

"Erlang hurry up and give the order, don't wait, attack the city tomorrow." Du Ruhui said resolutely, and then looked at Li Shimin, who was full of puzzlement, "I'm afraid that the soldiers will not succeed if they are not bloody, and we can't delay any longer, in case Mr. Liu can't resist Qu Tutong, let's enter the city first, and we can counterattack and defend." When the city gate is breached, if you are not there, will you not be cheaper in vain? ”

Li Shimin's hand slowly lowered from his saber, and he lowered his head and thought for a moment, "If the Xuanjia Army is not there, how can the surprise attacks and assaults in the siege of the city be lived?" ”

"Isn't that still me?" The crisp voice sounded in the corner of the big tent, and everyone turned around, but saw Yinghua taking two steps forward with a smile in his eyebrows, his eyes were clear, and he looked at Li Shimin heroically, "Is two hundred horses enough?" ”

Li Shimin was stunned, he never thought in his heart that he really wanted Yinghua to charge for him, she suddenly jumped out and took the initiative to ask for help, but she wanted to teach him to make a difficult decision.

Li Xiuning said in a hoarse voice, quite proudly: "Erlang Mo underestimated her, her two hundred horsemen are not inferior to your Xuanjia Lang." ”

"If you don't want her to go into battle, or if you do, you're going to be the only one to be by her side, that's a big mistake." Du Ruhui paced beside him, lowered his voice and whispered: "If you want to hide carefully, firstly, she is very reluctant to do so, and secondly, there will be no more Yinghua in this world." ”

After saying that, he took two steps back, turned around and urged, "Erlang is still hesitating about something, so he hurriedly ordered to send someone to inform Li Gong and Dalang." ”

Li Shimin closed his eyes with strength, took a deep breath, and when his eyes opened again, the hesitation in his eyes disappeared, and he resolutely shouted, "Someone, give orders." ”

……

At the beginning of November, the cold that had gathered all night was released before dawn, turning into frost and turning white all over the place, and the half-light and half-dark sky reflected the white patch of the field, as if it were a fine snow. A thin layer of ice slag rose in the ditch under the city walls.

Because of this narrow ditch, this place has become the most sparsely defended place in the whole process, and the guards may have felt that this ditch can barely be regarded as a moat, so they left less than 500 soldiers to guard here.

At this moment, day and night are alternating, and the soldiers on the castle tower are also about to change their shifts. The soldiers who had been on guard all night were cold and hungry, and their hearts were furious early, and their hearts were all on the hot porridge and warm quilts in the camp, and they wished that the replacement people would come earlier. When he got up early to go to the city tower to be on duty, Fang got out of the warm quilt, sleepy-eyed, and wanted to walk out of the barracks that had been warmed by the charcoal fire all night, and his heart was also reluctant.

The two groups of people from Bailai dragged their feet, scolding and scolding each other, but none of them noticed the slight movement in the ditch under the city tower.

At the fourth watch, Yinghua led 200 horsemen and hid in the woods closest to the city tower. When it was light, the two hundred men tied their horses to the trees, unloaded their long leather blades, and wore only a single robe, and took with them the short blades that they had hidden, and quietly came out of the woods, and trotted toward the ravine. These 200 horsemen have been strictly trained, and they are in good hands, although they are walking fast, they have not caused any major movements, and they are dressed in black robes, which are blending into the obscurity before dawn, and they are quietly unconscious.

When they arrived at the ditch, Yinghua waved his hand and signaled everyone to hide in the dry reeds by the river, and waited quietly for a quarter of an hour. Yinghua turned around and ordered in a low voice: "In a group of two, go under the water, enter the city along the ditch that leads into the city, enter the city and hide carefully and wait, don't make a noise, do you understand?" ”

The soldiers nodded silently, Yinghua looked back at the river with thin ice, "It's cold, and it's even more cold after entering the water, everyone should be patient and stay on the city wall...... "She raised her index finger and pointed to the city tower, "There are dry clothes to change on." ”

Someone in the crowd laughed lowly a few times, but they couldn't hear the laughter, only felt a cold murderous aura.

With a short "go", the brave soldiers in groups of two sank into the bone-chilling river without a snort. Halfway through the water, Yinghua entered the team, and like the others, he cautiously walked to the riverbank, and walked to the water's edge, but before he entered the water, a faint watery smell mixed with a chill came to his face. She took a deep breath and slipped into the water, the stinging pain of her cone immediately wrapping around her limbs, causing her to nearly sink unconscious. In the next moment, she bit her lower lip hard, and swiped hard, and her consciousness returned to her body little by little.

The soldiers behind her, although they have been training with her for many years, have long been accustomed to her tough style, and at this moment, seeing her really enter the water together, they don't feel a shock in their hearts, no matter how good their skills are and how strong their momentum is, after all, they are a daughter's family, how can they withstand the cold ice water that kills people. At the moment, I can't help but think that my daughter's family is still so daring, not to mention that it is a riding man who has always been known for his fierceness, which adds a bit of morale.

When the 200 soldiers bravely went ashore, they were already within the city walls. The sky began to glow, and the soldiers on duty during the day finally staggered in line, and when they saw the gait, they were dazed.

Yinghua was drenched, standing silently against the wall, the water on her body was almost freezing, and when she saw that the soldiers who had changed shifts finally appeared, her heart was lifted, and she shook off a little of the chilling cold, and pulled out a short blade the length of her forearm from her leather boots. Seeing this, the soldiers also leaned over and drew their short blades from their leather boots and held them tightly in their hands.

Yinghua waved back, hunched his back against the wall and touched the city wall silently, the first white light appeared in the eastern sky, and the soldiers on the shift finally saw her cunzài, but only vaguely saw a silhouette, which was not real, and a military leader muttered at her, "Who is it?" What are you doing over there? ”

She paused and stared at him calmly, and the military leader couldn't help but get nervous and raise her voice, "Who?" What ...... you do?" Before he could finish his sentence, a leopard-like figure leaped up and turned behind him in an instant, and his knife fell decisively to his throat, and the commander swallowed half of the unfinished words, and without even a cry of pain, he fell to the ground limply.

The rest of the soldiers in front of him were shocked by this scene, stunned for a while, and suddenly seemed to wake up together, muttered loudly, and each went to touch his own blades. In the confusion, she only shouted, "Don't stain their clothes." ”

Where are the soldiers who defend the city the opponents of these well-trained horsemen, Yinghua silently counted in his heart before thirty, and the last soldier also lay on the ground weakly. She stepped forward and looked down, and sure enough, all of them had their throats cut and died, and the blade was just right, and the filthy blood sprayed out and stained their clothes.

Two hundred quickly stripped them of their garments, and took off their own clothes, which were about to freeze, and quickly put them on. There were also a dozen or so horsemen, with their backs to each other in a dense circle, surrounding Yinghua so that she could also change into dry clothes.

After a short time, the sky was bright, and half of the 200 "Sui troops" were stationed in the city tower, and half quietly returned to the barracks. The hundreds of corpses on the ground were all taught to move to an inconspicuous corner, and they were stacked with dry grass and sackcloth to cover them. Yinghua walked back and forth on the city wall twice, carefully looking at the terrain below and the way to attack the main tower. Finally, he set up a chirp on the bowstring and shot it as hard as he could.

The two scouts who were waiting in the forest saw Mingdi, and without saying a word, they turned their horses' heads and hurried back.

The army of 50,000 assembled early, and saw two scouts galloping forward from afar, and all the lords involuntarily stood up from their seats.

"Second son, Mr. Du." The one who was in the lead hurriedly grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, and bowed: "Gu Niangzi has already succeeded." ”

Du Ruhui touched his chin, lowered his head and smiled silently. Looking at Li Shimin again, his face was excited, his sword eyebrows were raised, and there seemed to be a flame in his eyes that could not be released, and he turned around and waved his arms and shouted: "Soldiers!" Daxing City is in front of us, today we will take this city in one go, and tomorrow we can take our wives and children to reunite in the city. ”

The generals were inevitably worried about their families because of the joint siege of Liu Wuzhou and the Turkic soldiers in Jinyang before, and when they heard this today, they were all excited, and they could not immediately attack the city defense like a storm.

Li Shimin rode to the front of the military formation, the ladder battering ram was ready, and the strong crossbowmen of the second formation were all in place. He laughed and raised the long knife in his hand, "It's today!" The first group of brave men to enter the city were each rewarded with a gold cake. Shoot the above generals, punish one for each one, and reward the five ends of the fine silk! ”

After the heavy reward, the blood in the army was boiling and the sky was overflowing, rushing straight to the clouds, and the tide-like army of black pressure rushed to Daxing City from three directions, and the momentum was about to swallow up a huge city. R1152
