Li Yuan's dispatch to Chang'an was very sudden, and when the soldiers and horses of Youzhou received the news, the king of the backers had already resisted two sieges.

Chang'an is in a predicament, and the Li family used all their strength this time to add up to at least 300,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangling Penglai and some small forces in addition to the soldiers stationed in Luoyang.

The soldiers and horses defending the city in Chang'an are still 200,000 people.

The backer king was only sitting in Chang'an and did not develop his power, because with Li De's reminder, he was somewhat prepared.

When Li Yuan led his troops to attack the city, it appeared, and the northwest soldiers who had prepared for a long time prepared enough arrows to resist the attack twice.

Li Yuan launched an attack regardless of losses, and the northwest soldiers on Chang'an City had not rested for a day and a night.

The situation is the same on both sides.

The leader of the siege was Li Jiancheng, and the first time he tried to climb the city wall with a ladder, but failed.

The second time was to use catapults to attack, but Li Yuan stopped the city that was being destroyed now, but it was theirs in the future.

As a result, the second siege was once again blocked by archers on the walls.

Li Jiancheng didn't want to lose too many people.

He was preparing for the third siege of the city, and the number of soldiers and horses used in the previous two times was limited, and when all their soldiers and horses arrived, it was time for them to capture Chang'an.

Li Yuan has been waiting for Chang'an for too long, and this time he has made up his mind that Chang'an must be occupied.

Youzhou City guarded the mansion, and Li De had already issued an order to send troops to Penglai immediately.

That's right, his goal was not to rescue Penglai, the twenty-round troops of Chang'an, and the sudden order only notified the vanguards.

Mercenaries like Wagang didn't have time to be notified.

100,000 elites set off from Youzhou.

After the scouts from all sides got the news, they all went back to report the news as quickly as possible, and the news of Youzhou's attack on Penglai was absolutely vigorous.

The battle of Chang'an is still going on, the Li family's soldiers and horses have all arrived, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses have been in a stalemate after a few days of fierce battle.

The king of the backers defended the city and had the advantage, but the cost of arrows was huge, and he had begun to use stones as weapons to prevent the Li family's soldiers and horses from climbing along the ladder.

It can be seen that the soldiers and horses of the Li family have attacked the city and have been attacking the city gate with all their might, and the king of the backer has long been prepared to stare at the gate directly with a wooden stake.

Even if he hits with logs, he can't do anything, and the king of the backer will defend the city, and he can see the current situation, I'm afraid it's futile to defend it.

When the manpower is finally exhausted, the soldiers continue to fight, even if they are iron, and defeat is a foregone conclusion under physical and mental exhaustion.

At this time, Li De had arrived in Penglai City with 100,000 vanguards, and according to Red Peony's intelligence, there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses defending the city, and all the others were dispatched to support Chang'an.

It was when the garrison was weak.

"General Changsun, what should we do when the vanguard soldiers are coming to the city?"

"Defense, I don't believe that they can take Penglai City with 100,000 people."

When he was young, the eldest grandson Wuji had to be said to be very courageous.

He relied on the towering walls of Penglai City, the reserve of 50,000 soldiers, horses and ordnance, and the proximity to Youzhou had very high requirements for the defense of the city.

A large number of arrows were hoarded to prevent the enemy from attacking the city.

The eldest grandson Wuji was really afraid that the enemy would take advantage of the Li family's transfer of troops this time and take advantage of the situation, and sure enough, he was afraid of something.

Li De was not impulsive, he knew very well that Chang'an was too far away and it would definitely be too late to rush over to support, and the more important reason was that he couldn't occupy Chang'an.

At most, the king of assistance is to help him, but in fact, he will not get any benefits.

If you want to talk about the personal safety of the backer king, if the backer king is not impulsive, with the support of the Northwest soldiers, he will definitely be able to escape, as for how they choose, it is not something he can control.

Everyone has their own choice, and he will not interfere.

Since Chang'an is likely to be occupied by the Li family, then retreating to the next best thing is to defeat the Li family's Penglai City, so that they will lose a big help, so that Li Shimin can return to Li Yuan to stage the murder of the monarch and the killing of his father, and the brother of the wall.

How the next story develops naturally depends on their own choices.

100,000 vanguard soldiers surrounded Penglai City, and the eldest grandson Wuji was very calm, he had already made up his mind to defend Penglai.

Penglai City is his foundation, and it is impossible to let it out, and the wealth of the eldest grandson's family has been invested in the business in the city.

Li De has known these news through Red Peony for a long time, and it is not a secret.

The eldest grandson Wuji had already seen Li De's mind under the city turn sharply, and he was thinking about how to deal with Li De next.

It's best to be able to procrass for a while.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, is ready.

Li De had already stood with the soldiers in the carriage.

The long sword in his hand was drawn, and there was no chance for people to speak, and when he moved, there were already people preparing artillery at the back of the array.

This time, Li De carried very few artillery, but the volume was specially large, and Li De named this large-caliber artillery General Shenwu Cannon.

The muzzle of the gun is the size of a water tank, and the projectiles need to be loaded by an auxiliary crane.

The heavy cannon was very cumbersome, and the structure of the carriage could be specially modified to allow it to maintain its movement speed.

Eight horses were used for long-distance transportation, and eight horses were prepared at the same time to be able to keep up with the speed of the team.

Even then there are delays.

Now is the time to use the Shenwu General Cannon, and its role is not to kill but to break the city.

"General Changsun, what do you think is the black thing on the vanguard side?"

The people on the walls saw it.

"It can't be a water tank."

There are also people who really have extraordinary imaginations.

It's really easy to think at first glance, but the mouth of the water tank is facing up, and what they see is different.

The eldest grandson Wuji always felt a sense of danger.

Thundered~~~

There was a shaking on the walls of Penglai.

The guards immediately protected the eldest grandson Wuji.

For a long time, I had to react to what was happening.

The vanguard soldiers saw clearly that the gate of Penglai City was directly shattered, and the half of the wall collapsed.

Directly detached a large piece of the wall.

Thanks to the wide walls of Penglai City, otherwise the city gate tower would have collapsed a long time ago.

"The city gate of General Changsun has been destroyed, please leave here quickly for the safety of the general."

The eldest grandson Wuji was very helpless, but he knew that he had to leave, and they couldn't hold out for long if the cost was broken.

They know the shadow of the famous tree and the strength of the vanguard, and now what he has to do is to ensure that the soldiers and horses do not suffer too much loss.

After figuring it out, immediately let the guards pass the word and let the captains start to quickly organize the evacuation, and those who stayed behind will have twenty yuan of settling-in allowance.

Making such a promise is just a consolation, and who will care about their families when they do die in battle.
