Chapter 894: Breaking through Shuofang
The soldiers and horses at the Shuofang city wall had already retreated, and Yuwen Chengdu stood on the city wall and looked at the reinforcements coming from all directions, he knew that this battle had only begun now.
Li Jiancheng withdrew in time, although he failed to grasp the opportunity, but the Li family's soldiers and horses reacted quickly.
"Fight!"
"How many people are on the other side?"
Li Jiancheng needs to determine the number of people and arrange the next plan.
The scouts sent by Li Yuanji had already counted the approximate number of the other party.
"Big brother, the other party may have 200,000 soldiers."
In fact, the number of soldiers and horses of the Yuwen family has long been counted, and in the face of the siege of the Li family's 300,000 soldiers and horses, they will inevitably exert all their strength.
At first, Li Jiancheng thought that all the soldiers and horses were in Shuofang City, but now there are not many soldiers and horses in the city.
The retreat order he gave was a mistake, and if he could hold on, he could first deal with the threat of archers on the city walls.
It was too late to regret it, and he could only confront the enemy, believing that it was only a matter of time before he had the advantage of strength and numbers.
The front of Shuofang City has become a melee, and the main generals of both sides seem to be waiting for the next result.
The Xiao Cavalry Guard led by Yuwen Chengdu has rich experience in the battlefield, plus he has just participated in the battle, and has an advantage in physical strength.
The strength of the soldiers and horses in my hometown is also very strong, especially the exquisite armor made for these soldiers, which reduces a lot of casualties.
In the era of cold weapons, the competition was still an advantage of 100,000 more people, and it was very advantageous in this kind of melee.
The battle lasted until the evening, and neither side had any intention of withdrawing troops, and the air exuded a strong smell of blood, and if it was replaced by ordinary people, it would definitely not be able to stand it.
"Big brother, if we continue like this, our soldiers and horses will suffer a lot of losses." Li Yuanji reminded.
He didn't really care about how many men and horses he lost, but even more about how many soldiers and horses could be left to take over Shuofang City.
If the number of soldiers and horses is too small, he is afraid that it will affect his eldest brother's impression in his father's mind.
"It's getting dark, it's time to end this battle and send all the soldiers and horses." Li Jiancheng commanded.
The Li family has a large number of soldiers and horses, and at this time, they have experienced an advantage.
Yuwen Chengdu on the Shuofang city wall had a very ugly face, because the number of Xiao cavalry guards has been decreasing, and if it continues like this, he will definitely be defeated.
So he ordered his guards to go down the walls and go to the mansion in the city.
After Yu Wenhua saw the guards, he already knew the situation, and immediately began to ask people to pack up their things and prepare to escape.
Yuwen Chengdu is powerless now, and all he can do is leave Shuofang with the rest of the people.
It was already dark, and the cavalry guards began to flee in all directions, and the soldiers and horses of the Li family began to besiege everywhere.
"Report that General Shuofang City has a convoy leaving, and people have been sent to besiege it, but it has not stopped, please send more people to encircle it."
The scouts came back and the soldiers and horses showed that they were most likely from the Yuwen family.
Li Jiancheng didn't want to waste this opportunity, and immediately led people to pursue it personally, and if he wanted to keep Yuwen Chengdu, he had to send more talents.
Escaping at night is what Yuwen Chengdu means, it is not good to be pursued when it is dark, but it is a pity that he forgot that he could be let go by the people of the Li family with their identity.
Li Jiancheng took the elite and stopped the people after chasing a distance of more than ten miles.
"Yuwen Chengdu looks at where you run this time, whether you attack life or death."
Li Jiancheng said cruel words.
Three thousand elite guards charged, and the rest surrounded each other and tried to escape unless they could break through the encirclement of 20,000 people.
Yuwen Chengdu seems to know that if he wants to fight for his life today, he will immediately enter the first state in the world, and the phoenix gold boring in his hand sweeps and slashes and swings the place where people turn on their backs.
Li Jiancheng couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw the other party so brave, if he impulsively fought in the past, he might not be able to stop the other party's moves.
His guards are all elites built in the middle, and the sharpness of the opponent's weapons can directly cut through the armor.
In front of the other party, his own guards were so unbearable.
Li De really wanted to save face at this time, but he thought about sending more people to attack.
The cavalry guards around Yuwen Chengdu fought bravely, and they had the meaning of breaking the siege several times during the siege.
Yuwen Chengdu's strength was vividly displayed in the battle, and no one could stop it, and the opponent still maintained the best combat power after a stick of incense passed.
"Archers."
Several teams of archers began to fire arrows at Yuwen Chengdu, which had a great impact on them, and although the opponent's armor was able to prevent most of the arrows, a few arrows still hit some of the armor scales in the air.
Yuwen Chengdu, who was hit by three arrows in his body, began to feel a little struggling, but he was still extremely violent.
It's a pity that how can you rush out in the siege array.
"Give up, if you surrender now, you will be spared the death penalty."
Li Jiancheng does not have the authority to pardon, saying this is just affecting the judgment of the other party, he believes that a proud person like Yuwen Chengdu will not admit defeat easily, but this does not affect the other party's mood through this.
Yuwen Chengdu's hair was already messy, and even when his innate divine power was exhausted, it was already shocking that he could fight to such an extent with the strength of one person.
Keep going, there's only one end.
The last soldiers and horses of the Yuwen family have all been cleared, leaving Yuwen Chengdu alone to insist.
Waiting for his final result, he has never been able to block 10,000 people.
When Li Yuanji first came over, he saw Yuwen Chengdu's cold corpse, and he felt a little regretful that he couldn't fight it in time.
Li Jiancheng didn't say much, just say big things casually, you can't be really serious, if you don't take it seriously, you will lose face, and if you are serious, you may lose your life.
"Is the big brother attacking the city now?"
"Wait until dawn."
After the Li family's soldiers and horses were corrected, it didn't take long to take over Shuofang, and the people of the Yuwen family had already been resolved, and no one in the city stood up to resist.
The reception of Shuofang was completed quickly, but Li Jiancheng was very dissatisfied, but the situation in Shuofang City was not good.
It can be said that Shuofang City's development until now is maintained by the financial resources of the Yuwen family, and there are not many people in the city at all.
They belong to the outside powerhouse and the middle cadres, they were all deceived by the Yuwen family, through the intelligence in the city, in fact, the reason why the Xiao cavalry guards were dispersed, one is that they are worried that there will be enemies besieging the city to facilitate support, and the second reason is that the most important thing is to prevent the Xiao cavalry guards from mutiny.
The situation of the Yuwen family has reached the point where it is difficult to support the dead wood.
"I have already sent someone back to deliver the letter, and I believe that no one can shake the position of the eldest brother's crown prince." Li Yuanji said.
"Okay, don't worry about your second brother, don't look at him now serving by his father's side, as long as he doesn't have a territory, what if he is smart, he is destined to be unable to do anything without military power."
Li Jiancheng knew what Li Yuanji meant, and he was very concerned about Li Shimin's threat, but he didn't have to say it.
"The attack on Shuofang has suffered heavy losses, and it may be a little difficult to start recruiting soldiers and horses in Luoyang next, and this matter still depends on the third brother."
"Big brother, don't worry, I will recruit soldiers and horses in Gangneung as soon as I go back."
Li Yuanji is like this, as long as Li Jiancheng is done, he will do his best to complete it.
Perhaps Li Jiancheng can have today's achievements, and Li Yuanji's credit accounts for a large part.
