Chapter 739: Penglai Changed Hands
If it weren't for Li Yuanba's fact that he only listened to Li Shimin, they might be able to use some extraordinary means.
Changsun Sheng was afraid in his heart, and immediately after avoiding the cold arrow, he immediately wanted to retreat with his own soldiers, and when Li Yuanji saw this, he knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and he had to decide the credit for killing the enemy general.
Rush over with the guards.
Li Shimin gave up when his arrow was unsuccessful, and shot again, and looked at Li Yuanji, as if the two had already communicated with their eyes.
"Fourth brother, slow down your attack."
His fourth brother is Li Yuanba, since he can't get this credit, he is ready to fight steadily, and Li Yuanji may not be able to succeed in the melee.
Li Shimin had already calculated it, otherwise he would not have brought soldiers and horses to respond at the beginning, the main reason was that he had already sent someone to investigate the person of Changsun Sheng, and it was dangerous if the distance was too close.
The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, although Li Yuanba is powerful, but the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, the cold arrow he put just now is, and it was successful in just one point.
He wouldn't risk his life, at least not in the current situation.
Li Yuanji pursued, and Changsun Sheng brought arrows from the guards, turned around and took away several guards.
Li Yuanji was also shocked.
"This third brother is really reckless."
Li Jiancheng has been observing, he has seen the situation on the side of the local general, and he has also sweated for his third brother.
The archery technique of piercing through the Yang in 100 steps is the most dangerous on the battlefield.
Li Yuanji had already lost several of his personal guards, of course he saw that there was danger, but what could he do about this battlefield.
Laihu'er led the people back to the city wall, and when he saw the scuffle outside the city, he quickly saw the comers.
The banner of the Li family is not a vanguard, because he knows the banner of the vanguard, and if you look closely, you will know that it is the soldiers and horses of Tang Guogong of Taiyuan Mansion.
Instead of feeling relaxed, Raigo'er became nervous, unable to determine whether the newcomer was friend or foe.
"Send troops to block the city gates."
The Penglai soldiers did so, and at this time, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had withdrawn, and they were being chased by the soldiers and horses of the Li family and were fleeing.
Li Jiancheng watched from a distance, sent out the soldiers and horses that swept the formation, and all the soldiers and horses of the Li family were put into battle.
"What are they shouting?"
Laihu'er asked on the city wall, and the people of the Li family were all shouting, a little farther away from them.
"General, what they are shouting is, put down the butcher's knife and squat on the ground and don't kill."
The sound was getting louder and louder, and the Li family's soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer to Penglai City.
Lai Hu'er understood that it was under the guise of co-opting these people, and his evaluation of Li Jiancheng was a little higher in his heart.
Changsun Sheng was defeated, and there were not many people left in the imperial court who fled.
In the case of being besieged, most of them chose to lay down their arms, and they did not dare to gamble their lives with their character.
The battle outside the city was completely mastered by the soldiers and horses of the Li family who suddenly appeared, and it was very polite to come to Hu'er to see the other party's main general coming.
"General Li, thank you for the rescue." Come to Hu'er and hold his fists on the city wall.
Why don't you go to the city gate to be grateful, because it is not sure whether it is friend or foe, and if you go down and be taken down directly, you really have no power to resist.
"You're welcome, General Hu'er must be aware of your current situation, Ming people don't say secret words, this time we are all on the order of my father Tang Guogong to negotiate with the general, the Li family wants to take over Penglai City."
"Is the general willing to serve under the Tang State Prince's account?"
Li Jiancheng went straight to the point and made it clear directly, and the soldiers and horses under the city had already lined up.
Lai Hu'er is a person who understands current affairs, and he knows that the people who can come to rescue him will definitely not contribute in vain, and he boasts that he has not had a good relationship with the Li family.
There were no tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left in Penglai City, and there were no arrows on the city walls, and the soldiers who continued to fight were physically and mentally exhausted.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Guogong made a decision.
"Haha, follow me to welcome the Li family's soldiers and horses into the city."
Immediately, the Penglai soldiers in the city began to line up to greet them.
Li Jiancheng swaggered into the city with his people, and Li Shimin did not follow Li Yuanji to pursue the fleeing eldest grandson Sheng.
The two sides met in the General's Mansion, and Laihu'er immediately made his attitude clear, but the majesty of being a general was still there.
"In the future, it will depend on the eldest prince."
Lai Hu'er didn't have to say a word to hand over the talisman directly, and there were not too many Penglai soldiers left, so he didn't have to worry so much about handing it over.
An eldest grandson almost let him lose his life here, and the more he thought about it, the more powerless he felt.
Tang Guogong's reputation is very reliable, and he is very polite to several sons of the Li family, and then a series of handovers were carried out.
After Li Jiancheng received the talisman, he had to give it to Li Shimin.
This is what his father meant, after taking Penglai, it will be governed by Li Shimin, and having a military talisman is equivalent to having more helpers.
Li Jiancheng also knew that his task was accomplished.
After the next few people talked about some things, they all started to be busy with official business, and the identity of General Hu'er was retained, but for the time being, he didn't have to work.
After Li Shimin took over Penglai, he immediately began to implement the new decree.
Merchants and farmers are treated very well, and they cooperate with local wealthy merchants to set up workshops.
Li Jiancheng looked down on what Li Shimin did, but there was no way for anyone to make this way bring them benefits.
Penglai City changed hands to Tang Guogong, and Changsun Sheng fled back to Jiangling with less than 10,000 people, Emperor Yang of Sui was angry, but now there is no way but to let Changsun Sheng continue to stay in Jiangling.
After learning of Changsun Sheng's defeat, the aristocratic group did not blame him, but pointed the finger at the Li family in Taiyuan Mansion.
Some people think that they can use the strength of the Li family, but just when they were undecided, there were 30,000 soldiers and horses in Penglai.
Coupled with the remaining 20,000 soldiers in Penglai who could still fight, they reformed a 50,000-strong army of horses.
Li Jiancheng took Laihu'er and 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jiangling City directly.
Penglai City handed over to Li Shimin's 8,000 soldiers and horses to stay behind.
After the imperial court learned of the defeat in the Battle of Penglai, Li Jiancheng's soldiers and horses had already besieged Jiangling City.
Changsun Sheng still has less than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and there is no other way than to defend the city.
Half of the people led by Li Jiancheng were from Penglai City, and it had only been long since they were blocked in the city by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the feng shui took turns to work extra hard when attacking the city.
"When will the support of General Changsun's court arrive, the enemy has launched three sieges in a row, and if it continues, it will be a matter of time before we are defeated."
"What do you say, dare to shake the morale of the army."
Changsun Sheng was very angry and gave this general to the Fa-rectification.
In this way, the generals around him never spoke again, and if they didn't agree, they would die, and they were all afraid.
They could only hold on to the city, and Changsun Sheng knew that the imperial court did not respond at all.
He can only persevere with faith, and he doesn't know the result himself.
Tang Guogong of Taiyuan Mansion had already received the news that it was a matter of time to take Jiangling City, and I believe it would not take a few days.
The people he sent to investigate the imperial court did not send any reinforcements at all.
As long as there are no reinforcements, 100,000 soldiers and horses are not afraid at all.
