Chapter Seventy-Seven: Asking for Help in Isolation

Li Shimin's face was cold and blue, and he focused on the true yuan in his eyes, and looked at the dense fog around him with his 'yin and yang yuan pupils'. Trying to find the source and location of these sounds.

It's a pity that he didn't get anything, and there was no suspicious person around except for his comrades in the forbidden army.

He could only assume now that these people who intended to shake the hearts of their troops were hiding among the various ministries, and they all had good abilities to avoid his search.

And most of them are sorcerers and the like, ordinary martial artists, but they don't have such ability.

At this moment, the voice of the old eunuch just now sounded again: "All thousands of cattle are ready to listen to orders, Your Highness has an order, all departments of the forbidden army are waiting in place, and those who dare to act rashly will be killed! Don't listen to these thieves!"

Although this voice is sharp and low, it is really subtle, and it shocks a few miles of land, and all the forbidden soldiers can hear it.

This somewhat calmed the panicked military hearts of the guards on the left and right sides of the reserve mansion a little. But the vast majority of people are still suspicious. After all, they failed to see the unharmed queen and the king of Yue, and their immediate boss Dong Chun has not issued any orders so far-

Li Shimin has taken away all his distractions, and at this moment, he has given up any illusions, and he knows that now, in addition to trying his best to protect himself, there is not much he can do.

Therefore, after seeing that the subordinates around him were still in a state of hesitation and panic, Li Shimin directly picked up a long whip and slapped it fiercely on the bodies of several stunned soldiers.

He has a resolute and resolute personality, and he knows that at this time, whether it is persuasion or admonition, it will not have much effect. Therefore, he simply used this violent means to forcibly force the people around him, and woke up from his panic and confusion.

This did have an effect, and after a few whips, almost all the soldiers on the left and right sides of the Chongwen Pavilion woke up one after another, and they all looked at him. Even Zhang Buzhou and Yuwen Chengguang are long, and they are no exception.

It was the first time they had seen Li Shimin, and he showed such a tyrannical appearance. Since taking over from Yu Hou, although his authority has become increasingly heavy, in fact, in daily life, Li Shimin has rarely used even the most ordinary corporal punishment in the army. Therefore, everyone here was particularly shocked.

"If Her Royal Highness the Queen and King Yue really have an accident, the first thing the embroidered guards should do is to chase the murderer, not to continue to defend the royal car!"

Li Shimin's eyes were like torches, and he coldly glanced at the people here: "Do you still remember the order of the general before? Immediately dig a trench with all your might, and behead anyone who talks about it privately! Whoever steals and cheats will be beheaded! Those who flee will be beheaded! You have heard it clearly to me! Later, when the general will use the knife, don't blame me for being unpredictable!"

He knew that what these subordinates were most worried about was that the queen and His Royal Highness King Yue had been killed, and they would be implicated and questioned, so he first used words to appease him a little. Later, he used three consecutive 'chopping' words to shock the minds of his subordinates.

And among all the people, even Zhang Buzhou, who has the most oily heart, can't help but palpitate and look awe-inspiring. When he heard this person's words, it was indeed murderous and chilling.

This also surprised him, and he couldn't figure out why this fourteen-year-old boss could have such an awe-inspiring power and such a murderous aura.

Li Shimin then unceremoniously began to assign everyone, led by six teams of left and right guards, each responsible for a section of the trench.

Luckily, they brought a lot of shovels with them. More than a hundred ink armors worked together, plus auxiliary helpers, and the speed was extremely fast.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji left on their own, the latter wanted to see the eldest grandson Shunde and Gongsun Wuda, while Li Shimin went straight to the left.

His cousin Li Boyi led the army of the First Guard at this time, guarding the flank of the brigade.

One hundred and fifty paces away, in a blink of an eye. Li Shimin was cautious, fearing that Li Boyi's subordinates would be regarded as an enemy, but until he approached Li Boyi's position, he could not hear any warning signals.

This made Li Shimin frown for a while, and his cousin was too negligent -

But it's okay to see the situation here, this guard army is forming a Xuanwu array at this moment, facing the periphery with a strong shield and spear forest. It's a pity that for the inside, there is no one to take care of it.

"Who's coming?"

When he found out that Li Shimin was coming, Li Boyi first shouted angrily and pointed at the gun. It wasn't until the former lowered his armor that he let down his guard slightly, but then he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

He and Li Shimin actually only met a few times when they were young. Not long ago, during the family banquet after Tang Guogong first entered Luoyang, the two met once, but they saw each other and did not communicate.

He didn't really care much about this cousin, but not long ago, the latter made a big splash in the imperial reading, which made him reacquaint himself with Li Shimin.

"I have something to discuss with my brother. ”

Li Shimin first glanced ahead, the dense fog that seemed to be indissolvable, and then got straight to the point: "The younger brother has ordered his subordinates, one hundred and fifty steps behind the elder brother, to build a barrier to changeβ€”β€”"

"Barriers?"

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Boyi's eyes widened and he turned his head to look behind him.

He doesn't have Li Shimin's 'Yin Yang Yuan Pupil', and his True Yuan cultivation is only on the fifth grade, and he can't see through the thick fog. However, as he listened intently, he did hear the sound of digging coming from behind him.

"Virusha, you're exaggerating, isn't it?

Although he is now very frightened and worried, he is afraid that something will happen to the two royal highnesses of the queen and the king of Yue. But this arrangement of the barricade is still too exaggerated?

This is a means of dealing with the battle formation, but after all, this is the land of Guanzhong, less than a hundred miles away from the capital. With just one warning signal, the forbidden army units stationed in Luoyang City can be reached overnight.

The mastermind intends to shake the hearts of our army with rumors, and the profound meaning of this cannot but make people think deeply. ”

Li Shimin came up with a rhetoric to persuade the eldest grandson Wuji, but when he saw Li Boyi's face, he was full of disapproval.

He couldn't help but sigh slightly, knowing that the possibility of convincing this person was very small. Considering that he didn't have much time, Li Shimin retreated and directly informed the intention of coming: "The younger brother is here to persuade my brother to join forces with the left and right guards of our Chongwen Pavilion and guard the car base together." ”

Li Boyi almost sneered, but then he thought that the second son in front of him was the second son of Tang Guogong after all, and now he seemed to be loved by Her Royal Highness the Queen, so he stopped the mocking words on his lips, and replied in a condensed voice: "This matter is difficult to obey, Pilu Sha, you don't hear that Tang Gonggong has an order before, and all our departments need to wait in place, dare to behead those who act rashly?"

The 'Tang Gonggong' he said, named Tang Yuanhua, is not only the embroidered clothes of the embroidered guard, but also the closest eunuch to the queen. It is said that the martial arts are so clever that they are almost among the superbs, and they have been rewarded by the royal family and have been able to control a king-level battle armor. With a lot of combat power, among the many top powerhouses in Luoyang City at this time, it is stable in the top ten.

"-Our department has the responsibility of guarding the flanks of the royal driver, and if there is really a traitor coming, we must not be out of position in battle. And the left guard of Yingri Station under my command is under the jurisdiction of Yuhou of Yingri Station. Without the orders of his superiors, he would never dare to act rashly. ”

Li Shimin had expected Li Boyi's words, so at this moment, he had no intention of persuasion at all: "I don't ask my brother to lead troops to join forces with me now, but I just tell my brother that there is still a way out behind your department." If you can't hold on to it, your brother may want to think about it. ”

When he spoke, he deliberately amplified his voice, so that the left guards of the surrounding Yingsun Platform could hear it.

Li Boyi didn't care, and waved his hand impatiently: "I know, when the time comes, I will consider pushing into your car formation." It's Vilu Sha, you should return to your own camp as soon as possible, and you won't be afraid of Gong Tang's punishment afterwards?"

Li Shimin's goal has been achieved, and he has no intention of stagnation here, so he hugged his fist towards Li Boyi: "Today's events, the clouds are treacherous, dangerous and unpredictable, brother needs to be very careful!"

After he finished speaking, he had already harnessed the hundred armor and retreated to the rear. The figure seemed to be like a streamer, and a few whiskers had disappeared into the thick fog in a few moments.

At this time, Li Boyi looked at Li Shimin's back and fell into deep thought. Although the latter's words were alarmist, they also cast a shadow on his heart.

After Li Shimin returned to the position of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, he directly picked up a shovel, went down in person, and began to dig on the spot. And the time of the return of the eldest grandson Wuji was a little slower than him.

"My cousin said that if something happens, he'll be the first to think about it. As for Gongsun Wuda, it depends on the situation, but if it really comes to the point of last resort, he will also lead his troops to move closer to this side. ”

Li Shimin's heart was slightly relieved after hearing this, and he had heard of the names of Gongsun Wuda and eldest grandson Shunde. Although these two people are not much older than him, they are already fourth-grade powerhouses, much more reliable than his cousin Li Boyi.

With these two guards as Austrian reinforcements, this fortress can definitely be defended.

After the eldest grandson Wuji returned, he also did it himself and joined the ranks of digging pits. He and Li Shimin are both wearing handsome armor, and their arm strength is as high as 10,000 catties. When the earth was dug up, they piled it on the inside side of the trench and used it as an earthen wall.

The protective effect of this wall is not very good, and when it is about to fight, it can only be regarded as better than nothing.

What they could really rely on was the thirty four-wheeled carriages they brought. The shells of these cars are made of stainless steel, and with the runes engraved on the cars, they have a very good defensive effect. It can resist ten stone heavy arrows and bombard fifty zhang away. If you stuff a lot of dirt into the body, it will be even more indestructible.

Then there is the stone barrier prepared by Li Shimin, which mixes fist-sized gravel with dirt and fills the gaps between the carriages. Then he and the eldest grandson Wuji shot and smashed it with a heavy hammer to compact it.

Although the defensive power of this wall is not as good as that of those carriages, it can also withstand more than ten heavy arrows.

This one takes some effort, first of all, under the fog, it is not easy to collect suitable gravel. In addition, the process of 'compaction' is also time-consuming and laborious, and cannot be done simply by smashing it with a hammer.
