Li Longji's words not only made Chen Shuda speechless, but also made Li Yuan, who was originally firm, waver.

Li Longji saw Li Yuan's vacillation, and arched his hand and said: "Father, the son is not talented, and he is willing to have 30,000 elite soldiers to recover Hanchuan." Within a month, Erchen will definitely retrieve the heads of Ryuji and Guan Ling, and return victorious. With the prudence of the supernatural emperor, it is definitely more than enough to resist Yang Yanzhao for a month! ”

It was only at this time that Li Longji's true purpose surfaced. The so-called revenge for the horses and the recovery of Hanchuan are just some high-sounding pretenses, and what he really wants to do is to establish his strength in the Tang army.

However, Li Yuan didn't seem to be aware of this, or the aristocratic blood in his bones was at work, and he didn't think that a concubine would have much ambition at all.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Li Yuan finally paid attention and said in a deep voice: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the battle with the Sui Dynasty has always been inferior. Now that there are even more horses killed in battle, if my Datang can't defeat the Sui army again, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will look down on our Datang! ”

"Spread the decree, add Li Longji, the king of Changguang, as the governor of Hanchuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, Changsun Shunde, as the deputy general, and Li Xiuning, the eldest princess of Pingyang, as the vanguard of the army, leading 30,000 elite soldiers to recover Hanchuan, and capture the Sui general Longzhi to avenge the horse Chai Shao, and snow the shame of my Tang army!"

"Erchen (Weichen) obeys!"

Li Longji and Li Xiuning were overjoyed when they heard this, and they surrendered their orders together with the general Sun Shunde.

。。。。。。。。。。

Shandong, Qi County.

Since the Sui army defeated the Qingzhou bandits who were incorporated into the Tang army in the Central Plains, and beheaded the bandit leader Song Jiang. Qin Qiong and Di Qing led 50,000 elites to Qingzhou, won successive battles, recovered a large area of lost territory, and killed Qi County all the way, and the soldiers approached Licheng County, the seat of Qi County.

Outside Licheng County, Qin Qiong was fully armored, and immediately stood tall, looked up at the tall city wall not far away, and muttered to himself: "Licheng, I, Qin Qiong, are finally back!" ”

Di Qing on the side suddenly remembered something when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yes, General Qin seems to be from Licheng County?" ”

Qin Qiong bowed his head and said, "Yes, Licheng is where I was born and raised since I was a child. In the tenth year of the Great Cause, I left Licheng with Zhang Xutuo and went to Dongjun to exterminate Wagang. Who would have thought that this walk would be a full eight years! ”

Di Qing smiled slightly and said, "Then it seems that General Qin can be regarded as a real homecoming now!" ”

Qin Qiong smiled, dipped the tiger's head in his hand and waved the golden spear, and shouted loudly: "The whole army will attack the city, take Licheng, and capture the traitor Wu Yongchao to cover Du Po!" ”

Knock knock... Knock knock...

With Qin Qiong's order, hundreds of drummers in the rear army department braved the howling cold wind and waved huge drumsticks to beat the cowhide war drums like the sky, inspiring the soldiers of the three armies to move forward bravely.

"Brothers, rush with me, this time we must not let those bandit leaders escape!"

Qin Yong charged forward with a pair of brass hammers, constantly striking the arrows that fell from the city's head, and soon rushed under the city walls.

"Ding Dong, it was detected that Qin Yong had entered a state of bravery, with a force of +4, a base force of 99, and the current force has risen to 103."

"Qiaolang, it's useless for you to rush hard, this skill is designated by me Luo Tong!"

Luo Shixin's brother Luo Tong and Qin Yong are almost the same age, and they have also competed many times in private, and now they are not to be outdone on the battlefield, and they rushed to the city wall in the blink of an eye.

"Ding Dong, Luo Tong has been detected to have entered a state of bravery, force +5, base force 96, and the current force has risen to 101."

"Rush, take Licheng and capture the rebels alive!"

Tens of thousands of elite Sui troops under the leadership of the two young generals were like a rainbow, and burst out with a tsunami-like shout, facing the rain of arrows on the city's head, rushing towards Licheng County all over the mountains, erecting one cloud ladder after another.

Wu Yong, who was standing in the center of the city and commanding, hurriedly shouted: "Release the arrows, shoot me hard!" Throw all the rolling wood and stones down for me, and smash them to death, and never let the Sui army climb the city wall! ”

But since the Sui army entered Qingzhou, Wu Yong and others have been defeated in successive battles, losing countless cities and land, and the soldiers under their command have long been beaten to the point that they have lost their morale. At this moment, even if Wu shouted hoarsely, only a few stones flew down from the city, and even some soldiers had quietly left their positions, ready to abandon the city and flee again.

"A bunch of bad seeds, get out of the way!"

Seeing this, the general Chao Gai was furious, strode forward and rushed to the side of the city wall, picked up a huge grinding plate, and smashed it down with a loud roar.

Chao Gai struck a blow, looked back left and right, and shouted: "Did you see it?" The Sui army is also a human being, without three heads and six arms. If you think you're a man, give me some blood, and fight with these Sui dogs! ”

Chao Gai's blow finally had some effect, and the originally sluggish morale recovered a little. The thousands of soldiers at the head of the city barely mustered up the courage and did their best to smash down the rolling wood and stones piled under the battlements.

In an instant, countless flying rocks and fallen trees roared down like flying locusts, smashing the heads of the Sui soldiers who were bravely climbing the city to the point of bleeding and falling beyond recognition.

"Crossbowmen release arrows, suppress the bandits in the city, and cover the arrival of the brothers of the former army!"

Qin Huaiyu, who was in the rear for Qin Yong and Luo Tong, did not dare to slack off in the slightest when he saw this, hurriedly waved the command flag in his hand, and loudly ordered the crossbowmen under his command to release arrows to the city wall.

Whoosh!!

After receiving the order, the five thousand crossbowmen drew their bows and arrows and fired upwards at the city wall. In the blink of an eye, countless sharp arrows came out of the string, rose into the air, crossed the sky, and slanted down on the head of Licheng County.

Puff puff puff!!

In an instant, the sound of sharp arrows entering the body on the city was endless. The originally dense boulder bombardment was suppressed in an instant, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Sui soldiers, who were originally unable to move an inch with their shields, began to climb up quickly.

"Brother, well done!"

Qin Yong gave a thumbs up to Qin Huaiyu who was not far away, and then the tiger roared, stepped on the cloud ladder, and rushed to the city wall, wielding a pair of sledgehammers, killing the guards of the city and fleeing in all directions.

"Qin Yongxiao'er, Hugh wants to bully a certain soldier, can you dare to fight with me Du Yan?"

With a startled sound, Du Yan rushed forward with a Zhangba snake spear. Chao Gai on the other side also brandished a simple knife and strode forward: "Qin Yong'er is leaving, today I will definitely sacrifice your head and blood to Brother Gongming!" ”

"Ding Dong, Du Po has been detected to be in a state of fighting, force +3, base force 98, and the current force has risen to 101."

"Ding Dong, Chao Gai has been detected to enter a state of rapid advancement, force +4, base force 94, and the current force has risen to 98."
