Chapter 460: The Last Counterattack

There is no doubt that Gongsun Changming is seizing every opportunity to lead Li Ke to a road of no return.

At this time, Li Ke is undoubtedly the time when the outlook on life and the worldview are taking shape, unlike the past Tang Dynasty princes who live in comfort, Li Ke jumped from the rice pot to the chaff can, and there is a big gap in his heart, and he will have a hateful psychological attitude towards everything.

Even if Xue Ping tried his best to suppress Li Ke's psychological state, teaching him how to disguise and how to hide, but after all, he was an eight-year-old doll, how could he not show it in front of Li Ze?

In fact, Li Ze doesn't care what the royal family plays, all those who play tricks must first have capital, no strength, everything is a mirror, and those people that the emperor can rely on now seem to have some strength, but in the face of the general trend, just like the morning dew under the sun, at most roll on the blades a few times, flashing twice.

Li Ze will follow his established steps step by step.

He hoped that the process would be peaceful and a matter of course, rather than a river of blood rolling in and out of heads.

Gongsun Changming is guiding Li Ke to make mistakes.

Plant a poisonous seed in Li Ke's heart first, and then water it slowly, so that it can take root and sprout and break through the soil. And in this process, Li Ke will inevitably make mistakes, even if he doesn't make mistakes, there will be people who deliberately guide him to make mistakes, and under Li Ze's nose, these mistakes are nowhere to follow.

Li Ze can imagine Gongsun Changming's next trick, Li Ke, who made a mistake, will make the subjects below slowly dislike him, slowly alienate him, thinking that he is a person who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, and it is wrong to pin Xi on him.

It's a vicious circle. When Li Ke realizes this, he will only think that he is making it bad, he will definitely speed up his pace, so as to make more mistakes, and in the end he can only throw it alone, and then lose it.

To be honest, Gongsun Changming's design is good.

But Li Ze felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Because he saw himself in Li Ke's body.

He really pitied Li Ke.

If there is a possibility, he would like to let this person, who has carried too many hopes since childhood, be able to have a good death.

So, he tried to influence him from the other direction.

I hope he'll listen.

There was a deafening sound of golden drums and shouts from nowhere, and Li Ke stood up and looked in that direction.

"Taifu, the enemy is attacking."

"Hmm!" Li Ze nodded: "The dog is in a hurry and wants to jump off the wall, can we still not allow the enemy to kick his legs a few times before he dies?" If Your Highness is interested, shall we take a look? ”

"Interested." Li Ke said excitedly. He really hadn't seen the real battlefield with his own eyes, and he hadn't seen the desperate fight between the enemy and us, and in his heart, it was naturally full of blood.

"Okay." Li Ze greeted Li Bi with a loud voice.

When Li Mi recruited his relatives and prepared the horses, Xue Ping, who was originally reading the official documents in the Chinese army's tent, also ran out and wanted to go with him.

For Xue Ping's courtesy, Li Ze just smiled faintly.

When Li Ze and his party climbed on a high platform built behind the rammed earth wall, they happened to see another wave of attacks coming like a tide of attack.

As far as the eye can see, from the city of Luzhou, waves of enemies are pouring towards the rammed earth wall like a tide, and the distance between the two sides is not more than a few distances, at first glance, it seems that the two walls are filled with dense crowds.

Under the rammed earth wall, the Wuwei soldiers lined up in a tight military formation, the big shield was the wall, the spear was the forest, the rammed earth wall, rows of crossbow archers held crossbows, aimed at the distance, beside them, there was a soldier sitting cross-legged, with two crossbows in front of him, these people were responsible for loading the strings, and after the crossbowman had an accident, he was responsible for the top. Behind the rammed earth wall, more reserve troops sat cross-legged, ready to launch a counterattack.

Li Ze's arrival did not affect the preparations for the war at the front in the slightest. This is also the tradition of Wuwei, once the commander-in-chief of the front line is appointed, the commander-in-chief will be fully responsible for the battle, and no one else can interfere in the command of the war, not even Li Ze.

Now the commander-in-chief of the front line is You Yong, and at this moment You Yong is standing on another high platform not far away, and when he saw Li Ze and his party, he only bowed slightly, and then turned all his attention back to the battlefield.

On the high platform, the big flag waved, the countless trebuchets behind the rammed earth wall came to the sound of collapse, the long throwing arm was raised, the big more than 100 catties, the small more than 100 catties of stones, just like raindrops flew up into the air, flew to the highest point, turned their heads and smashed down.

With the sound of tremors on the ground, a large blank space immediately appeared in the dense attacking team.

Above the watchtower, the unique howling sound of the strong crossbow resounded throughout the battlefield, every tens of meters there is a watchtower made of rammed earth, which is higher than the earth wall, and on each watchtower, there are one or two strong crossbows.

The void that appeared was quickly filled up, and it seemed that the number of attackers had not been reduced by this continuous blow, and countless crossbows were fired out at this moment on the rammed earth wall.

The dense crossbow arrows filled everyone's vision in an instant.

At this time, the attacking side was already very close to them, and if the barrier of the rammed earth wall was not counted, the distance in a straight line would not exceed a hundred paces at most.

The cruel side of the war was truly shown in front of Li Ke for the first time.

Some people were shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground without saying a word, some people were shot by arrows in the door, rolling on the ground with their faces covered, wailing, but then disappeared into the crowd, and some people were torn to part of their bodies by the crossbow, and the powerful force even flew in the air with the stumps that left the body, and the blood was sprinkled all the way.

On the ground, which was nothing just now, in the blink of an eye, a layer of corpses was covered.

But the attackers continued.

Li Ke saw them being pierced out of holes one by one by the spears behind the shields, seeing them being picked up one by one, also seeing the defenders' shields being smashed, seeing the spears being cut off, seeing the iron bones one by one, the sledgehammer being thrown out by the attackers and smashed into the dense lineup, and saw the Wuwei soldiers burst out of their brains and fell to the ground and died.

Under the rammed earth wall, it became a Shura hell in an instant.

The attack, which lasted for half an hour, finally ended with the lack of follow-up of the army in Luzhou City, and the high-spirited team retreated in disarray, while the trebuchets and crossbows chased their pace, reaping the last wave of results.

As the last huge stone bullet fell from the sky, bounced a few bullets on the ground and then fell silent, this time the battle was finally over, and on the battlefield, only countless wounded people were left to mourn and cry out in pain.

Bands of Wuwei soldiers rushed out and carried the wounded back.

Li Ke was a little surprised to see that there were some wounded Wei Bobing, crawling on the ground in the direction of Luzhou City, but they were quickly caught up by the Wuwei army, he originally thought that these wounded soldiers would usher in death, these wounded soldiers also brandished knives and guns to prepare for the last fight, but they were all quickly knocked unconscious, and then together with the wounded Wuwei army, they were also carried back.

The wounded soldiers were carried under the high platform endlessly, looking at the wounded who were drenched in blood, missing arms and legs, and screaming in pain, Li Ke's face was pale and his body trembled slightly.

And what made him tremble even more was that the Wuwei soldiers who died in battle were not far from him at the moment, and they were neatly stacked on the flat ground one by one, and there were soldiers squatting on the ground, registering something one by one.

In just half an hour, not counting the injured, there were as many as four or five hundred dead in that row alone.

"This is war." Li Ze looked at Li Ke and said. "Death and blood are the main theme of war, Your Highness, if you want to win with domineering and royal ways, then such scenes will appear again and again."

"Taifu, domineering, is it useless to be kingly?"

"Of course not." Li Zedao: "They can be auxiliary, they can be intimidating. The fist is the most threatening only when it is not hit, and once it is hit, then you know each other. ”

You Yong hurriedly walked over and saluted Li Ze Li Ke with his fists clenched.

"General You has worked hard." Li Ze nodded.

"Thanks to the commander's preparations, he succeeded in deceiving the enemy and building this rammed earth wall to rely on, otherwise it would be difficult for our soldiers to withstand such a fierce attack." You Yong's face flushed, and it could be seen that he was also nervous.

"Maybe once or twice, but that's about it." Li Zedao: "Over there in Weizhou, it's almost finished, and the good news may come soon." ”

You Yong's face was full of joy: "That's great, but I'm a little worried about the Hedong soldiers now, Zhu Youzhen's Xuanwu army is much more powerful than Wei Bobing at this moment." ”

"Of course, except for Tian Yue's department, many of the rest of Wei Bobing are already half-hearted, but Xuanwu has no way out. They will definitely fight hard. But Qianniuwei has already passed, just in case. ”

In the direction of Changzhi, Zhu Youzhen wiped the blood and sweat on his face, and let out a long sigh, he finally broke through Li Cunzhong's defense line and tore a big hole in the encirclement.

"Inform Tian Yue that I have opened an opening here, let him immediately mobilize troops and then follow, completely defeat the Hedong Army, break the encirclement, and then echo with Cao Shuai's troops in Luzhou." Zhu Youzhen said excitedly.

"General, look!" Before Zhu Youzhen's words fell, he saw that in the distance, a troop was rapidly coming in their direction, drums were rumbling, and the fleeing Hedong military headquarters were gathering from both flanks towards the rear of this army.

The leader of the general, dressed in fiery red armor.
