In fact, it is not safe under the city walls, because once the people on the city walls use hot oil, the fire oil will cause greater losses.

They're also taking a big risk.

Li Yuan personally came to the city wall to sit in the town, and when he saw 10,000 people as pioneers, people from afar watched, this situation was really difficult to understand.

Is the wall of Taiyuan Mansion so easy to break, what do they want to do with only 10,000 people?

Li Yuan looked at the black pressure in the distance, he knew many banners, and he was sure that these people were the people who had gone to help Penglai City.

It's a bit puzzling to surround and not attack together.

Li Jiancheng was also thinking in his heart when he saw this situation, and suddenly said beside Li Yuan: "Father, it seems that these are all used to test our strength. ”

After Li Jiancheng's reminder, Li Yuan thought about it and felt that it was really very likely to be the case.

"Since the other party wants to test it, let them test it, don't do it, don't believe that they can attack without a ladder."

Li Yuan knew very well that the city wall could not be climbed at all, and if he didn't use extraordinary means, he would let the enemy watch, that is, he didn't want to consume the reserves in the city, and if he wanted to encircle it, he would surround it.

Li Yuan is very confident about this.

Because there is a city behind him, and the grain and grass of the people who came to pass through Penglai last time are very clear about the strength of these people, not to mention the combat effectiveness According to the investigation, those people do not have much grain and grass.

Besides, with Emperor Yang of Sui, what help can he provide to them except for a holy decree.

I'm afraid that the grain and grass of 100,000 soldiers and horses will not be able to support half a month.

Li Yuan is not confident that he is in Taiyuan Mansion, but the soldiers and horses of the Li family are not in the city at all, most of them are stationed outside the city, as long as Li Yuanji arrives in the wolf smoke, he will bring people to kill him.

If he wants to spend time, the other point is that the longer the time is delayed, the more fully prepared Li Yuanji's side will be, when it comes to the deployment of soldiers and horses, he really learned a lot when he was in Youzhou.

If you do it in this way, you can effectively prevent the enemy from besieging the city.

Li Yuan stood on the city wall and watched, Zhai Rang was like sitting on pins and needles, anxious, they all stayed under the city for a long time, and they really risked their lives, but looking at those people in the distance, it seemed that they didn't care at all.

This made him feel very unhappy, but now that he had no other choice, it was impossible to run back, which would be tantamount to becoming a target for the archers again.

So they had to wait for the night to run back, even if the archers on the walls would reduce their accuracy in the dark.

Although Zhai Rang had the courage to charge, he did not dare to consume his own people, there were more than 10,000 of them, and they were all losses of Wagangzhai if they were defeated.

Time passed little by little, and the people of the city wall were tormenting every moment, and it was much easier to see the soldiers on the city wall, and they all hid behind the battlements and sat on the ground to rest.

And those people in the distance are all fighting on their own, and there is not much communication at all, their purpose is not really to attack Li Yuan, their own family knows their own affairs.

Li Yuan's fame and strength are incomparable to them, and obeying the emperor's will is just doing what he is told, and by the way, seeing if the card can really be beaten.

Now that they have seen it, Li Yuan has no problem with him on the city wall, and it is not possible for 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city with a large number of people.

Siege is not the same as charging in array, with a city wall can sometimes be worth several times the number of defenders and horses, as long as there are enough archers and enough arrows, unless it is ten times a hundred times the number, it is really no fun.

At night, the lights were bright up and down the Li Mansion, and Li Yuan was reading the message sent by Li Yuanji.

"Yuanji has been ambushed with his soldiers and horses, so let's go out and attack the enemy camp at night tonight." Li Yuan said.

"Father, isn't it too risky to attack the enemy camp at night, today they also sent people to attack the city, there should be precautions at night." Li Jiancheng guessed.

"Well, it's not impossible, but looking at their performance, even if they fortify, we have a chance to win by taking the opportunity to attack at night, remember to find their food and grass first, and try not to entangle with them for too long."

"Yes."

Li Jiancheng was ordered to prepare immediately.

Li Yuan shook his head, the night attack on the barracks was a bit risky, but as the besiegers of the city, they would relax on the contrary, because they were sure that the side defending the city would not dare to open the gate easily.

That's habitual thinking.

Li Yuan is very experienced in the enemy's conquest, and what he is doing now is to do the opposite, and hit the other party by surprise, if it is a small cavalry guard, he will definitely not have this interest, but if it is someone else, he has no fear at all.

After Zhai Rang returned to the camp, the resentment in his heart was unsettled, and now it was clear that these were traps on him, so he rushed to the camp with people to find them a theory.

When he first came in, he saw a large group of people discussing things while eating, and as soon as he entered the barracks, it instantly became quiet.

All eyes were on him.

"Generals, do you want to give an explanation for today's incident?" Zhai Rang's face was ugly, and anyone could tell the angry look on his face.

"General Zhai's matter today is that he has some money, but as a pioneer, it is also a matter of testing the enemy's truth and truth, so I will sit down and eat something after a tired day, and just discuss the next plan." Someone spoke.

Zhai Rang was very angry in his heart, but his own strength was not enough, so he could only endure this breath stubbornly, and he also wanted to hear what these people wanted to say.

Then there is the fact that he has not eaten for a day, and when he is frightened under the city wall, he also unceremoniously starts eating when he sees the meat on the table.

Without eating a single bite of meat, I heard a noise outside the barracks, and I heard the soldiers shouting.

"Enemy attack!"

The generals in the entire barracks couldn't sit still, and immediately rushed out of the barracks to find their men to organize the defense, Zhai Rang didn't have the heart to eat at this time, and what they could do now was to take people out to fight back.

Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack quickly, and even set fire to the barracks everywhere, and the entire garrison was on fire after a while.

In this way, the people on both sides are transparent.

"Rush out." Li Jiancheng is humane to the people around him.

The Li family's soldiers and horses are very strong in combat, they are all cavalry trained before, and the night attack method they use is that the cavalry is responsible for charging, and Li Yuanji is responsible for disrupting the periphery, pinning down the enemy, and buying time for the cavalry to set fire.

Apparently their task has been accomplished, and now all they have to do is rush out.

"Surround them and don't let them run away." Zhai Rang shouted.

But no one listened to him at all, and those generals all returned to their barracks as soon as possible to take care of their own supplies, not because they were timid but because of experience.

Instead of intercepting the enemy at the first time, they choose to protect the materials, and when there is no commander, they naturally take care of each other.
