Li Chengqian, who was on the city wall, watched Cui Wang walk out of the city gate, and after a while, he was 'caught' by a team of knights who came up, and his heart couldn't help but follow. During this time, he had a good impression of Cui Wang. Because Cui Wang, although he is as old-fashioned as Kong Yingda and others, he will not be stubborn. He would say everything he wanted to say, and then eventually he would obey.

Li Chengqian likes such a person, and he even thinks in his heart that if he has the opportunity, it would be good to get him to serve in the East Palace.

Two miles away, Cui Wang looked back at Li Chengqian, a smile on the corner of his mouth, he had planted the seeds for many years, and it was finally time to harvest.

……

said that Li Siwen's mood today is exceptionally good, because his days of suffering are finally coming to an end.

The eldest brother deserves to be the eldest brother, and he can do anything that he can't think of, or dare to think of. Li Siwen was very happy, he liked this kind of life under Li Mu's wings. What he can't do, he doesn't need to face it, just complete the things Li Mu explained and wait for success.

Once Li Siwen also felt that he was not a person who did nothing, and his husband should lift the three-foot green peak and make immortal achievements. However, as he grew older, he gradually realized that not everyone could lift the sword, and not everyone had the opportunity to make immortal achievements. The most important thing for people to live in this world is to be 'useful', and when they can make immortal contributions to others, isn't it also good to provide some help?

The battle was finally over, and in just two or three months, the eldest brother miraculously defeated the Turks and pacified Xue Yantuo...... From now on, there will be no threat to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court should be able to build a capital protectorate...... Li Siwen secretly thought in his heart that if the imperial court established the Western Regions Protectorate, it would be best to move the king of Hejian County, so that Dingxiang City would be his again.

Li Siwen has special feelings for Dingxiangcheng. This is his home, this city, and his children. Li Siwen has already made up his mind that he will stay in this city for the rest of his life and will not go anywhere.

In the future, when the Western Regions are pacified, the role of Dingxiang's 'gateway' will become more and more great. He already had a draft and was ready to expand the new city. Therefore, he would walk around the city wall almost every day, thinking in his heart what should be built in the future new city, where it should be built, how to design it, and so on.

The soldiers defending the city were already surprised and would not bother him.

Li Siwen staggered to the west city wall, and was about to go to the city, when suddenly there was an extra arm in front of him. Li Siwen was shocked, he smiled speechlessly, saw the arm in front of him clearly, and said: "Lao Tzu is really knowledgeable today, is there anyone who dares to stop me in Dingxiang City?" He raised his head, looked at the owner of his arm, and scolded, "Who are you?" Don't recognize Lao Tzu? ”

Don't look at Li Siwen in front of Li Mu, extremely docile. But in his bones, he is still the same gentleman young master as before. Dingxiang is the city he built single-handedly, and it is also the fief given to him by Li Shimin, he is equivalent to the emperor here, even Li Xiaogong is here, he has to give him three points, how can he allow his majesty to be violated?

Today, however, he was stabbed. I only heard this person say coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at the head of the city, and the idle people are not allowed to go over." ”

"Hey!" Li Siwen laughed angrily, pointed at the guard's nose and scolded: "Who gave you the guts to fight the people? What's wrong with the prince in the city? Don't say that you are a guard, even if the prince is in front of me, you have to call Brother Wen, you can avoid Lao Tzu! ”

Cangchang!

He was greeted by a cold sword.

"Stand back, come back again, don't blame me for being rude." The guard said.

Do the guards know Li Siwen? Naturally, he knew it, and if he didn't know it, he wouldn't stop it like this. He is Cui Wang's confidant, and he stayed here just to wait for Cui Wang's signal, and then control Li Chengqian. If Li Siwen and Li Chengqian are together, it will add variables.

Therefore, he must not let Li Siwen and Li Chengqian meet.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Siwen was also stubborn. He is Li Mu's brother, what happened to the prince? Didn't you become an emperor? Then don't put a score in front of Lao Tzu! What's more, Li Siwen felt very strange. If you want to talk about posing music, Li Chengqian never plays music. These days, when the two of them are messing together, Li Chengqian is called Brother Wen, and he has never said anything about his identity, why did he suddenly put up a fight today?

Thinking of this, Li Siwen shouted and shouted, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you doing in the city?" I'm looking for you, but you guards won't let me go up!" ”

Li Chengqian heard the voice, probed out from the battlement, and said, "What's the matter?" Why don't you let Brother Wen come up? Who, get out of the way, let me Brother Wen come over! ”

The guard looked hesitant, and according to his duties, he could not refuse the prince's request. However, if Li Siwen is allowed to pass, it is likely to ruin Cui Wang's affairs. He glanced to the west, but there was still no signal, Li Siwen felt more and more strange, and his heart moved, and said, "Lao Tzu is not going up yet!" So saying, he retreated.

Seeing that Li Siwen was strange, the guard knew that the matter might have been revealed, so he grabbed his arm and said, "You better go up, come, I'll send you to the city!" ”

"Let go of Lao Tzu!" Li Siwen was in pain, he didn't understand what was going on, he bit the guard's arm, and when he was in pain, he turned his head and ran, shouting as he ran: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this guard is weird, you run away!" ”

"What?" Li Chengqian didn't hear clearly, or if he heard clearly, he didn't understand what it meant. At this moment, he saw the guards below throw the sword in his hand and go straight to Li Siwen's heart.

No matter how stupid Li Chengqian was, he knew that something was wrong, he pulled out his sword, and just as he was about to make a move, several guards ran up and surrounded him. Everyone was born, Li Chengqian calmed down and said, "Who are you?" Don't you know who Lone is? To do such a rebellious thing? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, offended!" When the guard draws his sword, he will deceive him.

At this time, Li Siwen's shout came from under the city wall: "Don't be afraid, the prince, my lady is here, hold on for a while, my wife will save you!" ”

Li Siwen is talking about his wife Qin Huaiyu, as Qin Qiong's daughter, Qin Huaiyu has won the true inheritance of her father. Just now, she heard Li Siwen's scream, rushed over, and at the last moment, she threw out the whip in her hand and hit the sword thrown by the guard. One second later, Li Siwen would have died.

Qin Huaiyu ran to the city wall, and Li Siwen shouted and looked for someone. On the city wall, the five guards had already forced Li Chengqian into a corner.

Although Li Chengqian is also diligent in martial arts practice on weekdays. But his level, which can deal with a guard, is also stretched. These five guards cooperate with each other and are quite disciplined, and if they deal with one of them, they will naturally only lose. If it weren't for the other party's intention to catch the living, Li Chengqian would have died by this time.

"Who the hell are you? Are you Cui Wang's bodyguard? What does Cui Wang want to do, does he want to kill the king? ”

The guards did not answer, but only came up to arrest people. Qin Huaiyu had already climbed to the top of the city, but he was still thirty or forty meters away from Li Chengqian. At this distance, it must be the guards who caught Li Chengqian first.

"You rebels and thieves, you want to arrest Lao Tzu, right?" Li Chengqian also understood the other party's intention at this time, took a sip, jumped on the battlement, and laughed loudly: "Lao Tzu is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can he be captured by others?" Delusion! ”

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he jumped and jumped from the city wall dozens of meters away.

Li Siwen watched Li Chengqian jump down, and he was so frightened that he was stunned. He hurriedly rushed over, wanting to use himself as a meat pad for Li Chengqian, but it was still too late, Li Chengqian fell straight down, and was silent in an instant.

Qin Huaiyu was furious, and threw out the whip in his hand and hit the five guards. The prince's guards called by Li Siwen also arrived, and the five guards saw that there was no way to survive, so they were also neat, and pulled out daggers one by one and wiped their necks. Blood was pouring out, and it was obvious that he couldn't live.

Li Siwen threw himself beside Li Chengqian, his limbs were stiff, he reached out to test Li Chengqian's snort, and both fingers were inserted into Li Chengqian's nostrils.

"You must not die, you are going to die, I have to die......" Li Siwen's voice was already crying, and a faint breathing sensation came from his fingers, Li Siwen let out a sigh of relief, and tears poured out irrepressibly: "Great, it's not ...... dead" Before he could be happy, he suddenly saw that Li Chengqian's legs were folded at a strange angle, and he shouted: "Quick, call the doctor!" ”

At this moment, several firecrackers suddenly sounded in the sky. Immediately after, the earth trembled, and Qin Huaiyu shouted on the city wall: "Husband, the enemy army outside the city has come to attack the city!" ”

"Everyone, the enemy is attacking the city, ...... quickly Move all the gunpowder to the city walls!" While giving orders, Li Siwen asked someone to carry Li Chengqian and send him back to the Dadu Protectorate first, and ask the doctor to treat him. He turned around and went up the city wall, looking at the cavalry outside the city, Li Siwen's heart was about to jump out!

Since the beginning of the war, Li Siwen has never faced the enemy directly. Looking at the overwhelming array of enemies in front of him, Li Siwen forced himself to calm down. He knew that this time he had no one to rely on, and Dingxiang City had to be defended, otherwise, if Dingxiang was lost, 100,000 cavalry would go south directly, and Chang'an would be in danger!

Lao Tzu doesn't want to be a hero, but since you force Lao Tzu, there's no way!

Li Siwen took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "All calm!" Don't panic, girl! Li Siwen looked at Qin Huaiyu and said, "Lady, you take a team of people to clear the spies in the city first, all suspicious people, as long as they resist, they will be killed!" ”

Qin Huaiyu was stunned, she had never seen Li Siwen so decisive, is this still the husband who let himself be bullied and cried at every turn?

Subconsciously, Qin Huaiyu obeyed Li Siwen's arrangement. took people to clean up the remnants of the city, and Li Siwen stood at the head of the city, staring at the enemy army coming like water below, as if he had returned to the time when he first met Li Mu, when the dilapidated Dingxiang City, facing thousands of Turkic remnants, faced with the situation was even more critical than now.

At that time, Dingxiang City had no soldiers and no food, and there was no city wall. But in the end, it won. And by the secret passage, the people of the whole city kept their names.

Now in Dingxiang City, there are more than 10,000 people, there are equipment to defend the city, there is gunpowder, Li Siwen believes in himself, he can hold on, as long as he holds on for two days, no, hold on for one day, he believes that Li Mu can come back!

"Scatter all the pigeons for Lao Tzu!" Li Siwen ordered: "The gunpowder is pulled up, and all the family resources are taken out, but it's over!" The days are numbered! ”

Li Siwen launched a ruthless attack, picked up the 'megaphone', and shouted to the other side: "Cui Wang, you can't die well!" Lao Tzu has already sent the book back to the imperial court, and your Boling Cui clan is waiting to destroy the nine clans! ”

"Hahaha!" Cui Wang's laughter came from the array, he stood at the tuyere, and his voice could come without a megaphone: "I originally wanted to have an inside and outside combination, but I didn't expect you to see through the mistake." But it doesn't matter, Li Siwen, you only have 10,000 people? How can you resist my army of 100,000? Wait for me to break through Dingxiang and wave my army south, and then see who will be wiped out by the Nine Clans! ”

"Li Siwen, aren't you just relying on the power of gunpowder? You go and see if your powder magazine is soaked in water, can you still light it? ”

"What!" Li Siwen's face changed greatly, and at this moment, a lieutenant came to report: "The city lord is not good, when Mrs. just cleaned up, she found that the gunpowder had been soaked in water by them......"

"Gan!" Li Siwen scolded, there is no gunpowder, how can this battle be fought?

"Fight!" Li Siwen forced himself to calm down, trying to recall what Li Mu had done the last time he was in Dingxiang.

The opponent was cavalry and had no siege equipment. It's definitely too late to make a temporary system, so what needs to be guarded against, that is, a grappling hook, a ladder, or a giant log that hits the door.

"Demolish people's houses!" Li Siwen ordered: "The one next to the city gate will be demolished first, and after it is demolished, the gate will be blocked directly and the door will be sealed by Lao Tzu!" If there is any surplus, mobilize the people and move to the city! Later, they will attack the city and smash it according to the heavenly spirit! ”

"Set up a cauldron, all the oil in the city is heated for Lao Tzu for backup, and when you can't stand it, pour it on Lao Tzu!"

"All those in the city who can strike iron shall immediately rush to make thistles. Be sure to spread all over the western city wall before noon! Li Siwen's eyes widened, and his eyes were about to split: "Tell the people of the city that Dingxiang has reached the point of life and death, and everything that can move will be moved by Lao Tzu!" Don't be stingy with anything, as long as you survive this encounter, Lao Tzu will compensate them double! ”

"My eldest brother received my flying pigeon and will rush back to save us. It only takes two days...... No, just hold on for one day, let's hold on for one day, and the army will come back. If we can survive, we will definitely survive! ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant shouted, and went down to give the order.

Li Siwen looked at the enemy soldiers who were getting closer and closer, grabbed a pair of armor and draped it on his body, added heart goggles on his chest and back, and wore a helmet on his head, arming himself to the teeth.

He is not afraid of death, he can't die, if he dies, Dingxiang City will really be finished!
