Stone Gate City.

Liang Xiaoxiao looked at the Tang army under the city, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

He has always known the strength of the Tang Army, and even more so the strength of the Tiger and Wolf Army.

At the beginning, there were only tens of thousands of tiger and wolf army, and they wiped out the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of their Liang country, and even directly destroyed the Qi country, and now, the 60,000 tiger and wolf army went straight to Shimen City, he really didn't have the confidence to be able to hold it.

The weather was still hot, Liang Xiaoxiao looked at Li Yu and shouted: "My Liang Kingdom has not offended your Tang Kingdom, why do you Tang Kingdom want to attack my Liang Kingdom?" ”

Li Yu sat on the back of the horse and smiled: "At the beginning, my Tang Kingdom did not offend your Liang Kingdom, why did your Liang Kingdom attack my Tang Kingdom?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Yu paused for a moment before continuing: "I, it's just a tooth for a tooth, if you are willing to abandon the city and surrender, I can spare your life, if not, when the city is broken, I will need your life." ”

Li Yu's words were very cold, and Liang Xiaoxiao's back was cold.

But as the general of the Liang State, he had no intention of surrendering.

"Hahaha, if you have the ability, you will attack the city."

Li Yu frowned, and then said no more, and directly ordered: "Siege the city." ”

At the sound of an order, the mechanical crossbow was pushed to the front by the soldiers, and suddenly, the sharp arrows rained down, and at this time, the soldiers besieging the city had already pushed the ladder and began to go towards Shimen City.

Liang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw that Tang Jun's ladder turned out to be like this, and after he took a look, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

If such a ladder is fixed under the city tower, then it is not easy for the Tang army to rush up?

"Come on, shoot me, resist them for me......"

Liang Xiaoxiao shouted angrily, Liang Bing's side was also like a rain of sharp arrows, and the two sides were suppressed back and forth, but soon, the ladder of the Tang army still came to the foot of Shimen City.

After the ladder was fixed, Tang Jun rushed over.

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

The soldiers of the Tiger Wolf Army were heroic, so when they rushed up, there was no hesitation and pause at all, at first, the soldiers and horses of the Liang State could still resist for a while, but as more and more Tang troops rushed up, the Liang army gradually lost the ability to defend.

The two sides soon started a big battle on the city tower, the Tang army's Tang knife was extremely sharp, and the Liang army was not an opponent at all.

More and more Tang troops rushed up, and about two hours later, Shimen City had fallen into the hands of the Tang army.

Liang Xiaoxiao led the troops to retreat, and when he retreated, he was very frightened.

Although he had long heard of the strength of the Tang Army, he did not expect that the Tang Army would be so powerful, and in half a day, he captured Shimen City.

Originally, he felt that he would have no problem resisting the Tang army for half a month, and half a month was enough to wait for their reinforcements from the Liang State to arrive.

However, reinforcements may not have even begun to be dispatched, and their Shimen City has already been lost.

Shimen City is lost, and the Tang army is not allowed to fight directly to Youzhou?

"General, what should we do now, where are we going?"

Losing Shimen City, returning to Youzhou is simply sending him to death, Liang Xiaoxiao only has a few thousand soldiers and horses left, he hesitated for a while, and said: "Don't go back to the capital for the time being, let's find a place to hide and wait and see." ”

Today's Liang Guo, I don't know if he can save it, if he goes back, he will be sent to death, so he doesn't want to die.

---------------------

After taking control of Shimen City, Tang Yu instructed Xu Maogong to pacify the people in the city, which was a very necessary thing for the era of strife among the countries.

It is easy to attack the city, but it is not easy to collect the people's hearts.

If you can't win over the people, then even if you capture the city, I'm afraid it won't last long.

Fortunately, their reputation in the Tang Kingdom is good, so as long as they are good to these people, it is not difficult to subdue these people.

Xu Maogong went down to appease the people, and Li Yu and others had to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Shengshang, now that we have captured Shimen City, we might as well go straight to Youzhou in one go."

Cheng Yanjin looked very excited, in his opinion, Liang Guo was too vulnerable to attack in the face of their Tang Dynasty, so it was better to attack directly and destroy the capital of Liang State. However, after Cheng Biting Jin finished speaking, Li Jing stood up and shook his head: "Now there is no movement on the Turkic side, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, even if we 60,000 tiger and wolf army go to attack the city, I am afraid that the chance of victory is not big, if you want me to say, it is better to temporarily guard in Shimen City and wait and see what happens, if the Turks are like a bamboo, we will make plans at that time, if the Turks are not good, we will not be too dangerous here, even if the Liang State sends soldiers and horses, we have the advantage of the city, and we can also kill them." After Li Jing finished saying this, everyone looked at Tang Yu, Li Yu thought for a moment, and then said: "General Li is right, Liang has enough soldiers and horses in Youzhou, if my 60,000 soldiers and horses fight to the death with them, I can also defeat them, but don't forget, there are Turks on their side, we and Liang State."

Both sides lose, and in the end, the Turks will profit, so you might as well wait and talk. ”

The Tang army set up camp in Shimen City and waited for news.

Youzhou sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to support Liang Xiaoxiao, but halfway through, he suddenly heard that Shimen City had fallen into the hands of the Tang army, and Liang Xiaoxiao didn't know where to flee.

This Liang reinforcement suddenly stopped.

"General, do you want to continue to Shimen City, or go back."

A soldier asked, and the general who led the troops frowned: "This Liang Xiaoxiao, it's really a waste, it was captured by the Tang army so quickly, look at Qiu Rui in Wucheng, the Turks have already done it, it's been so many days, Wucheng is still in the hands of my Liang army, it's hateful." ”

The general cursed, and then ordered: "Go back to the capital and report to the saint." ”

The 130,000 army is not the opponent of the Tang Tiger and Wolf Army, and now they have lost the city, so if they want to fight the Tang Army, it is simply to send them to death.

The top priority is naturally to return to the capital as soon as possible, because maybe soon, the Tang army will be killed.

Liang reinforcements marched in the direction of the capital Youzhou, and at the same time, Chen Qing had already led people to Wucheng, and he wanted to make peace with the Turks and persuade the Turks to retreat.

As long as they persuaded the Turks to retreat, they had hope of continuing to survive.

Chen Qing led people to Wucheng, and on Wucheng's side, the Turks and Qiu Rui's soldiers and horses were fighting fiercely.

For the Turks, they have reached the critical point of life and death, and whether they can capture Wucheng or not determines whether they can survive in the future, so they attack fiercely.

It's just that they are not good at attacking the city, and they don't have siege weapons, plus Qiu Rui, the general of the Liang State, swore to resist to the death, so although the Liang army they have already beaten is very unbearable, it will take a while to capture Wucheng. On this day, the Turks retreated after a day of attack, and Jieli Khan's face was a little ugly.
