Chapter 738: The Li Family Makes a Move
Li De has regarded Mobei as a horse farm for pioneers, and the planned breeding has begun to be planned.
Although there is no concept of protecting the environment, Li De has it, so the breeding of cattle, sheep and horses is planned, and it must not be overused.
The people of Ningzhou had a new job, building a city dedicated to inter-tribal trade in Mobei City.
Without the threat of Turkic soldiers and horses, the Mobei region will be safe for at least a while, and with the patrol of the vanguards, it will not take a few years for the resources of cattle, sheep and horses to be developed.
It's just that Jieli Khan went to the Eastern Turks, and I don't know if he will wait for the forces to appear after the unification, so I can only wait for the day when the situation really appears.
What happened in Mobei did not have a great impact on the Sui State.
Penglai's Lai Hu'er was not in the mood to think about those things, because Penglai City had been attacked many times by Changsun Sheng's soldiers and horses.
The strength of both sides is about the same, and the walls of Penglai City are not inferior to Jiangling City in terms of ease of defense and difficult to attack.
Changsun Sheng still used the tactics of crowds, and both sides suffered heavy losses, and the Penglai soldiers had been holding on for ten days.
"Report to the general, it is less than ten miles away from Penglai City."
"Keep going."
When the offensive and defensive battle of Penglai City was fierce, a force of 50,000 soldiers and horses was about to approach.
Changsun Sheng is thinking of a way in the camp account, and he lost more than half of the attack on Penglai City this time, and he knows that the situation in Penglai City is not good, but these people are more persistent than the original Jiangling soldiers.
He really has a headache now, Penglai City must be taken, no matter what the cost has been decided to launch a general attack.
The situation on Laihu'er's side would not have lasted so long if he hadn't held Penglai City.
"Soldiers, Penglai is our home, and we must not let them break it."
"Don't worry, general, we will defend the city to the death."
"General, they're attacking again."
"Fight."
"We don't have any more arrows."
There was no cover of arrows on the walls, and all they could do was wait for the enemy to break down the door.
Laihu'er wants to retreat, but where can they retreat, without Penglai's power, they will not end well.
He wanted to take refuge in Youzhou, but this kind of thing could only be thought about.
"Bump! Touch! Touch! ”
The sound of logs hitting the city gate was terrifying.
The hearts of the Penglai soldiers were extremely heavy under the influence of this voice.
"Bump!"
The gates were opened.
Laihu'er rode a war horse and led the soldiers to fight the enemy directly at the city gate.
The soldiers on the walls were still holding back the enemy who were climbing up the ladder.
Changsun Sheng watched from a distance, and what awaited them after breaking the door was success, but he was a little worried when he thought of the damaged soldiers and horses.
Soon he thought that if he could bring all the Penglai soldiers under his command, it would also be a great credit.
Laihu'er saw that they had been retreating.
Changsun Sheng is very patient, even so, the battle is still going on, the strength of both sides is about the same, and now wait for Changsun Sheng's people to all rush into the city to have a result.
Due to the resistance of the Penglai soldiers, less than 20,000 of the 50,000 soldiers and horses entered the city, and the people outside the city were more anxious than the people inside the city.
If they can't get in, don't mention any military exploits.
Just as the two sides were fighting, Changsun Sheng suddenly felt that he was in danger and saw an arrow flying down his neck on the side of his body.
"Enemy attack, protect the general."
Changsun Sheng's guards reacted and immediately turned back.
"Kill!"
They turned their heads and saw that all of them were people, and the cavalry and infantry were rapidly coming towards them.
Seeing this, the soldiers outside the city wall did not care to rush into the city, and they all turned to fight.
Changsun Sheng's scalp was numb, and the threat just now relieved him for a while.
Make sure that there are no injuries before commanding the troops and horses to fight.
"The soldiers rushed with me."
Li Yuanji led the guards without fear of life and death.
Li Jiancheng swept the formation behind, and immediately all 50,000 soldiers and horses launched an attack, and soon surrounded Changsun Sheng's soldiers and horses.
Changsun Sheng picked up the bow and arrow to counterattack, and the arrow was not missing, but he was powerful alone and did not have the inexhaustible strength of Li Yuanba.
At this time, Li Yuanba had quietly entered the enemy formation, and the attack speed of the guards around him was much faster than that of Li Yuanji's side.
If you look closely, you can find that the person following Li Yuan is Li Shimin, and the guards are obviously protecting him.
The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted.
Changsun Sheng immediately asked people in the city to retreat, and they wanted to find a direction to rush out and fight the incoming people.
Now they are under siege, and there is no way to command them.
Lai Hu'er gradually realized that the situation was not right, and the attack speed of the imperial court's soldiers and horses slowed down, and then he saw that the other party was retreating.
"What's the situation?" Laihu'er was suspicious.
"Soldiers, follow me."
Laihu'er didn't know what was going on, but the situation was clearly in their favor, and they had to seize the opportunity.
Penglai soldiers are also trying to survive, and since they have a chance to live, they all do their best.
Li Yuanji wanted to behead Changsun Sheng from the beginning, and the battle would end soon after taking down the enemy's main general, and their purpose was to subdue this army.
"Rush over with me, and take the enemy's head to give you a great credit."
When they heard that there was a meritorious leader, the soldiers were all very excited.
As soon as they were excited, an arrow came towards them, and in the blink of an eye, the two guards fell off their horses.
Changsun Sheng's archery skills are not only able to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, but also those who can practice bows and arrows to this extent are not all powerful, otherwise how can they open their bows and release arrows.
Li Yuanji was not stupid to know that Changsun Sheng was good at archery, so he immediately asked his soldiers to speed up.
Changsun Sheng's bows and arrows are all aimed at the main generals on the battlefield, squad leaders, captains, etc., and their armor is easy to distinguish.
Li Yuanji's group was clearly coming towards him, and when they saw that it was a general, they immediately began to attack.
Li Yuanji was lucky just now, otherwise he would have been hit by an arrow.
Changsun Sheng was confident that he could hit the enemy general, but found that he no longer had arrows, and the imperial bow in his hand was useless.
Li Shimin has always paid attention to Changsun Sheng, and the people he brought with him did not go over at the beginning, because he knew that Changsun Sheng's archery skills were powerful, and if he was not careful, he could die at any time.
So he took Li Yuanba to bypass the position of the enemy's main general, and now that there was no threat, he also opened his bow and arrows.
In the midst of the scuffle, where can anyone notice that someone has released cold arrows.
Changsun Sheng's reaction was quick, and he seemed to have a natural feeling for the arrow, and he lowered his head and climbed down the arrow and followed his armor.
It's thrilling.
Li Yuanji turned his head and found that the person who released the arrow was Li Shimin, and knew that he had to seize this opportunity, but fortunately he didn't hit, otherwise he really didn't have a chance to show his merit in front of his father.
In fact, his ultimate purpose is for his eldest brother.
After Li Shimin returned to the Li family, several brothers began to compete in secret.
