In fact, Li Shimin would prefer to use these resources in other directions of the base. On one side, the magic pattern steel plate removed from the chariot creates a stable support point.

However, he knew that the lives of thousands of people here were not as important as Empress Xiao and King Yue. Once something happens to these two, then even if he kills those traitors and returns home, it will be meaningless.

Not only will the soldiers of the Reserve Mansion here be convicted for this, but he Li Shimin will also be held accountable by the Son of Heaven, and may even implicate his family.

And in this world, in this pass, there will be chaos, and the consequences are unpredictable. So the safety of these royals is the first priority. Even if he, Li Shimin, dies here today, these two highnesses must not have an accident.

After that, Li Shimin commanded a group of magicians, including Yuan Lie and Master Xuanfei, to strengthen the walls of various places with Sanskrit characters.

He didn't seek to be exhaustive, but only required that every fifty paces have a stable evasion point to withstand the bombardment of the opponent's heavy crossbows.

Due to the limited time, Yuan Lie and the others couldn't arrange too powerful formations, but fortunately, this time they each carried a whole load of steel plates on the left and right guards of Chongwen Pavilion.

Although the defensive ability of these steel plates is not as good as the demonic steel on the Imperial Rim, they are also quite strong. Cooperate with those vehicles that have been filled with sand and soil, which is enough to ensure the safety of the soldiers in the rear.

And just when Li Shimin was about to further improve the outer trench system, a warning suddenly came from their eastern direction.

Li Shimin rushed to the east side of the camp as soon as possible, and then injected the true yuan into his eyes, looking into the distance with the 'Yin Yang Yuan Pupil'.

This time, he had Master Xuanfei personally blessed with the four-grade Dharma of 'Tianyantong', and the distance he could see was far better than before, and he could look as far as 400 zhang away.

And at the place two hundred and forty zhang east of the barricade, a large number of armor soldiers were gathering.

The total number was about 2,200 people, of which the battle armor was as high as 700, which was similar to the number estimated by the previous eldest grandson Wuji and him. The style of the ink armor is based on the 'broken edge' and 'wolf teeth' of the border army's system, but it is a pure black paint, which is very different from the red armor of the Sui army.

"There are less than forty giant gate armors!"

With the assistance of the technique, the eldest grandson Shunde took a closer look at the other side, but there was a slight irony in his eyes: "You still want to win this base like this?

"In my opinion, the other side doesn't take us people seriously at all. ”

Gongsun Wuda shook his head slightly: "Before, all the departments were defeated at one touch, and there was almost no resistance. Now that they are trapped in a lonely base, it is inevitable that the army will be disheartened. Even I, too, will think about taking this barrier in one go. ”

When the two of them were talking, Li Shimin was concentrating on the formation opposite.

As the eldest grandson Shunde said, there are only forty 'giant gates' on the opposite side. And it was a kind of warframe that was burly and known for its strength. Despite his slow movements, he is heavily armoured, able to carry a huge shield weighing more than 100 stones, and can also wield a battle axe the size of a door panel, which is incredibly destructive.

Originally, in the Great Sui Border Army, the four battle armors of the giant gate, the broken front, the wolf's fang, and the bow were configured according to the ratio of 2521. However, the rebel on the opposite side may be lightly armed, this kind of armor dedicated to attacking fortifications and breaking fortresses, only carries forty armors, and the number is in place with the other three types of armor.

The other party took hundreds of people and formed a white tiger array. The whole is a square array, placing the forty giant gate armors in front to cover the soldiers in the rear.

There was also a group of one hundred and fifty men, who were arrayed separately outside the circle. There were no auxiliaries in it, all of them were 'leading bow' armor.

This kind of armor specializes in shooting, and the structure of the arm is different from that of ordinary armor, which can shoot a strong bow of 25 stones, and the projectile distance can reach up to 2,000 steps, and the flat shooting distance can also reach 700 steps, which is specially controlled by those who are good at shooting in the army.

The two types of armor in the border army, wolf teeth, can actually also shoot arrows. But when it comes to shooting distance and lethality, it is far inferior to the 'drawing of the bow'.

Li Shimin only glanced at it and knew the other party's intentions. This must have been intended to suppress the barricade with arrows and cover the attack of the main formation not far away.

"These guys, they're really careful. ”

The eldest grandson, Shunde, also noticed the existence of these one hundred and fifty 'leading bow' armors, and couldn't help frowning slightly. The other party was standing three hundred and fifty zhang away, and where it was, even if he had the main force of Master Xuanfei's 'Tianyantong', he could only vaguely see it. Not to mention the subordinates below whose martial arts cultivation is not as good as him, and only the blessings of the Seven Grades of Buddhism 'His Eye'.

What's even more tricky is that the total number of bow armors in their chariot base is only sixty, and there is no possibility of defeating the opponent in the confrontation at all.

"And what's even trickier, do you see those of their mounted iron horses?"

The eldest grandson Wuji stood on a high place and glanced at it privately, but found nothing.

And the few people standing beside him couldn't help but glance at each other, with a hidden sadness in their eyes.

The four hundred and fifty mounted iron horsemen before, even if they killed and wounded about forty people, there were still a full four hundred horsemen. Such a force is enough to break through the crowd of hosts on the plains!

And the peerless blade, only when it contains but does not send, is the most terrifying

"I feel that the other side is not necessarily contempt. ”

Li Boyi sighed lightly: "Only these forty giant gate armors are really possible to take down this base." ”

Before he finished speaking, the surrounding eldest grandson Shunde, Gongsun Wuda and others all looked at him with cold eyes.

There was already panic and low morale in this barm. This guy is still saying such words in public, because their current situation is not difficult enough?

are all from the children of the martial arts Li family, how can this guy be so unbearable.

Li Boyi also seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, so he hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and kept his mouth shut.

Sima Liancheng, the embroidered general who was in charge of the 'supervising army' next to him, looked cold and abnormal. However, after glancing at Li Boyi. still turned his gaze back to Li Shimin, whose expression suddenly relaxed.

"Li Duyu waits, don't you think so?"

"On the contrary, God bless the Great Sui in this battle, our side will definitely win!"

When Li Shimin said this, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned. is the eldest grandson Wuji, who has the most confidence in Li Shimin, and he is also suspicious.

The eldest grandson Wuji never doubted Li Shimin's ability, and he could guess it. Their victory this time should be between five and five, and at least nearly half of the casualties will be required to survive until the reinforcements arrive.

But this one actually opened his mouth and said that this time, they were blessed by God, and they would definitely win. Even if it is morale-boosting, it is not so exaggerated.

Even Sima Liancheng felt that it was too exaggerated, and his brows furrowed slightly: "The contemptible people have the characteristics of my embroidered clothes and guards, and the secret treasure is on my body, which can block the ears and eyes of others." At this time, you and I spoke, coming out of the mouth of Li Duyu Hou, and into the ears of my Sima Liancheng, and outsiders would never be able to hear a single word. What is the truth, Li Duyu may as well say it bluntly?"

After he said this, he seemed to be afraid that Li Shimin would not believe it, so he deliberately took out a jade talisman and shook it towards him.

"Lord Sima, do you believe in the last general?"

Li Shimin laughed and pointed to the other side: "I said that the other party's defeat is decided, but I am not talking about it." My lord, look at the back of the array opposite, and even the most basic spells have not been blessed. Obviously, the strength of the other party's sorcerer is weaker than you and I imagined. ”

When Sima Liancheng heard this, he immediately looked back and found that as Li Shimin said, in the square circle array opposite, there were indeed only dozens of ink armors in the front row, which were blessed with the technique of 'bronze body'.

This sixth-rank technique can indeed increase the strength and defensive ability of the ink armor to a certain extent, but it will also slightly increase the weight of the ink armor, causing their speed to drop by about one to two percent.

In general, the Sui army's attack on the fortress was a large-scale use of 'wind magic', and the first priority was to get close to the opponent's stronghold, rather than considering its own defense.

Even if you want to use a steady and steady approach, step by step method, to approach the opponent's camp, you should use the four-grade technique 'Tiangang Body Protection', not the 'Bronze Body Gang Body' with huge side effects.

Although Sima Liancheng was born in embroidered clothes, he still has some knowledge in the art of war. It can be seen that on the other side, in the absence of giant gate armor and protection, the tactic of slowly approaching is still used, most of which is an expedient measure taken due to the lack of magicians.

- Actually, on the other side, it's not that there is a shortage of magicians. It's that this dense fog that is ten miles wide consumes too much mana, and in a quarter of time, the rush of more than ten miles on the opposite side can mostly be completed with the assistance of spells.

"But so what?" Sima Liancheng shook his head slightly: "There is an arrow array covering the opposite side, and there is still a great chance of winning." ”

The one hundred and fifty 'leading bow' armor was enough to suppress their side to the point that they couldn't raise their heads.

Therefore, even if he knew that the other party had insufficient magicians, he did not think that his own side had the possibility of winning.

"The terrain to the east is slightly higher than here, and the opponent is arrayed here, which is to be condescending and convenient for charging into battle. ”

Li Shimin clasped his arms around his chest, and his eyes flashed with a strange luster: "If it is in peacetime, this method of battle is indeed unsolvable. But I guess on the other side, I must not have thought about celestial phenomena. ”

"Celestial Phenomenon?" Sima Liancheng was stunned and asked, "Is there something wrong with this celestial phenomenon?"

"Of course not! You need to know that the formation of fog is mostly related to the change of cold and heat when the rain turns cloudy——"

Li Shimin received this, but shook his head slightly: "It's very troublesome to explain, I'll talk to Master Sima in detail later? The other party's attack is imminent, I need to prepare as soon as possible." ”

After saying this, he jumped out of the carriage and began to organize the manpower.

Mainly people who are good at shooting, the eldest grandson Wuji has organized a guard before, nearly two hundred people. But at this time, he continued to draw from various ministries, and made a total of four hundred.

At this time, Sima Liancheng was confused. But fortunately, Li Shimin is not the only one who understands the celestial phenomena in the car base.
