When the second layer of the trench could be built, Li Shimin realized it and glanced at the east direction again, and then he decisively took the eldest grandson Wuji and other subordinates to withdraw to the camp together. In addition to ordering everyone to be on alert, he also asked the embroidered man to summon Sima Liancheng in front of him.

"But what's wrong?"

Sima Liancheng immediately came over to ask why: "If Du Yuhou has an order, just give the order, and I will obey the embroidered clothes and guards." ”

He was now equally convinced of the fourteen-year-old boy. Li Shimin's military orders, as long as they do not involve the two highnesses, he will obey them.

"Once the strong man on the opposite side is exhausted, at any cost, and another assassination like the one before, can the car barrier resist it?"

Li Shimin knew that he had already had the answer to this question.

It is difficult to explain the fact that those traitors died down after a single assassination attack and turned to attack with a large army. If you can solve the queen and the king of Yue by only assassination, how can you use other means on the other side?

However, his purpose was originally to remind the embroidery guard to be careful.

"Another assassination?" Sima Liancheng frowned, also looked at the opposite side of the car base, and said with a question: "Du Yuhou, do you think this is possible?"

Li Shimin did not answer directly, but made a move, and suddenly waved a cloud of water vapor in his hand.

"Look at the fog, it's getting thicker and thicker. ”

Sima Liancheng also noticed the abnormality, and at this time, the violent wind, with the cessation of the two Burning Sun Arrays, had gradually subsided. But the fog did not dissipate at all after the gale, but became thicker and thicker, which was very unusual. In today's environment, the possibility of natural variation can be almost ruled out.

He suddenly frowned: "It was only by surprise and negligence that they succeeded before." If they dare to come again, I will let them go and never return. ”

After saying this, Sima Liancheng turned his head again and explained to Li Shimin: "Now in the camp, there are only the strong people of Yipin, there are Gonggong Tang, and Wei Shanggong beside the queen. This strength, although inferior to Father-in-law Tang, is a product of my embroidered clothes. And there are three more like me. In addition, there are also Master Xuanfei, Yuan Lie and Huang Guanzi, all of whom are second-grade magicians, how can these rebels be allowed to commit minor offenses. Even if it is still defeated, there is also General Dong Chun. ”

"General Dong Lang?"

In Li Shimin's eyes, there was a slight sense of astonishment: "Isn't Dong Lang in a coma?"

Sima Liancheng shook his head slightly: "It's just that I was poisoned, and I suppressed the poison with the method of turtle breath." If the situation is difficult, I have a secret method to wake up Dong Lang at any time, and there is no problem in maintaining the peak combat power for an hour or two. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart. He could guess what the so-called 'secret method' of the embroidered clothes guard was, and it must have greatly stimulated the potential of life.

After maintaining the peak combat power for these two hours, even if this Dong Lang will not die, his age will be greatly reduced.

However, he knew that this was actually a very normal practice, even if Dong Chun himself was willing. Rather than being investigated by the Son of Heaven afterwards because of the misfortune that happened to the queen and the king of Yue, which led to the destruction of the family, it is better to die in battle now!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart. "But what I'm worried about is not the safety of the two highnesses, but the people of the eldest grandson Wuji and Gongsun Wuda. ”

Seeing Sima Liancheng's thoughtful expression, Li Shimin continued to explain: "At this time, these conditions are equivalent to the arms of the last general, and the soldiers at the bottom can be regarded as the fingers of the last general. In order for the subordinate officer to command the whole army smoothly, he must use his left and right arms to dispatch these fingers. Lang General, guess what those traitors on the other side will do next?"

Seeing that the matter was clear, Sima Liancheng immediately left in a hurry, "I will arrange this matter properly, and I will definitely not give these thieves a chance to take advantage of it." ”

But in his heart, what he cares about most is Li Shimin's safety. To say that the most important person in this barn now, apart from the two highnesses, is this one.

Once Li Shimin is injured or even killed, the good situation in front of him will surely fall apart.

The next situation, as Li Shimin expected, was that the dense fog around here became thicker and thicker. Although it is not yet to the point where he can't see his five fingers, the soldiers below can only see forty steps away. Even if his 'Yin Yang Yuan Pupil', coupled with the Buddhism's technique 'Tianyantong', his line of sight can only reach 200 zhang at most.

At this time, Yuan Lie and the others were already casting spells to disperse the fog, but the effect was not good. The combined efforts of many of their magicians dispersed a lot of the fog outside, but inside the barrier, the mist not only did not disperse, but became thicker.

Seeing this scene, everyone didn't need Li Shimin to remind them anymore, and they all raised their vigilance.

But then, despite everyone's attention to the four sides of the barrier, they didn't notice anything unusual, and no one approached.

And until the soldiers and horses on the opposite side were three hundred zhang away, they began to arrange their troops again, and there was no special movement around.

Li Shimin also gradually turned his attention to the opposite formation. It was still a square array, and the number of people was still about 2,500. But this is because the four hundred iron horses are also mixed in the back of the array.

Excluding this part, the number of ink armor on the opposite side has been reduced to seven hundred, and the total number of foot soldiers has been reduced to more than two thousand, obviously the losses on the opposite side before are not light.

In addition, there was also a group of pawns, pushing the transformed shield carts to the front of this square circle and lined up neatly.

"These brainless fools—"

Gongsun Wuda said weakly: "Didn't they think about the consequences?"

He was talking about the group of forbidden troops who were forced by the opponent's sword - if it were him, he would definitely fight to the death. Even if he was hacked to death on the spot by those traitors, it was better than being charged with rebellion.

- You need to know that this is a felony of treason!

Although the Son of Heaven has abolished the ten evil sins. But the rebellion and the rebellion are exceptions. Once the court investigates it, it will be a sin to exterminate the family and even the nine clans. Even if these people are just coerced, the consequences will not make much difference.

"A group of soft bones, what's the pity? ”

The eldest grandson Shunde sneered, his eyes contemptuous.

However, the people on the other side were his colleagues after all, and he couldn't say anything bad. At this moment, after just a cold snort, he changed his tone: "It seems that the other side is really planning to use the car formation." Fortunately, I was waiting for my lord in Duyu and had foresight. ”

Just now, Huang Guanzi had already sent a full two hundred 'Armor-Piercing Arrows' and distributed them to the hands of those who were above the fifth grade and had excellent archery skills. In addition, it only takes a moment, and about seventy more 'armor-piercing arrows' can be made in the future.

With the help of this powerful demonic arrow, the eldest grandson Shunde is not very afraid of these car shields.

In addition to this, they also have two Flame Sun Arrays.

And everyone here also thinks so. This is indeed Li Shimin's anticipation of the enemy and foresight in advance, so that they now have the means to deal with it.

At this time, Li Shimin's eyes were slightly condensed, and he fell into a deep groan. After a moment, he retreated forty steps back and asked Yuan Lie, "Can Lord Yuan arrange dozens of ground formations in a moment?"

"Trapped in the middle of this?"

Yuan Lie had a look of surprise on his face: "This is simple, but why is it here?"

The Earth Trap Formation is a very simple formation, the rank is only eight grades, and the time to arrange one Yang Yan Array is enough to arrange twenty Earth Trap Formations.

Before, they also arranged thirty or fifty on the periphery of the barrier, which was considered a supplement to the wall, but why was it inside the barrier?

"It's good to be able to do it!"

Li Shimin didn't explain: "Please Lord Yuan as soon as possible." Taking advantage of the fact that the thieves have not yet arrived, the mist is thick. ”

After instructing this, he had some ropes and spears made from the flags that were used as honor guards.

Li Shimin's requirements were demanding, the rope must be able to resist the pull of the six broken blades, and the spear must be three feet long.

Fortunately, one of the advantages of the royal objects was that they were sturdy and durable – they could simply knead the flags together to make them into long ropes. The rest of the flagpole, which only needs to be slightly processed, is a huge and sturdy gun.

At this time, a huge suspension bridge was erected on each of the four sides of the rampart.

This was ordered by Li Shimin before, and the upper planks of more than 30 carriages were directly dismantled as bridge decks. It was erected on the inside of the trench and was six feet high. Once lowered, you can directly cross the inner and outer trenches for five mounted knights to march side by side.

It's just a simple defense, it's never the best policy, and it's a pity that the two hundred iron horsemen in the barricade don't use it.

But now, even if he doesn't release these 'leopard cavalry', he only needs to erect these four suspension bridges, and the opposite side has to be defended, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the front.

When he had arranged all the contingency measures and came to the front of the formation again, he saw that the square circle car formation on the opposite side had also been prepared, and soon after, under the beating of heavy drums, he moved forward.

The whole formation is extremely thick and depressing. And the atmosphere around the barrier also condensed to the extreme at this moment.

Li Shimin waited quietly until the shield cart on the opposite side advanced to two hundred and forty zhang, and then gave an order. The eldest grandson Shunde and the others had already prepared, and in an instant, more than 20 black feather arrows roared out, flying towards the enemy array like meteors chasing the moon.

At this time, those who are qualified to use this armor-piercing arrow are all martial arts cultivators who are above the fifth grade and are good at archery, and the bows used are more than fifty stones, and the arrows sent are all heavy and powerful.

After the arrow was fired, it only took a moment to hit the target. And rushed into the shield cart like a bamboo, and then in a burst of crackling, these heavy shield carts were torn to pieces. All of a sudden, sawdust was pouring and dust was flying.
