Chapter 294: Acting Against the Heavens
With a bang, the cannonball dragged the tongue of fire and exploded on the tower, which was torn apart and kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Ningwu City is a big city, as long as the Tang Army holds on, no matter how many bombs there are, the walls of Ningwu City will not be leveled.
Xia Yu had to admire the ancient fortifications, the city walls were all made of bluestone three zhang long, and each piece weighed about eight tons.
"Xue Renguo, if you have the courage, go to the city and fight your ancestor for three hundred rounds!"
"Xia Yu, when you deceived my father and son, we were about to settle accounts with you!"
With a wave of Xue Renguo's hand, the Xue family's army pulled up the ladder and was about to attack the city.
Several ladders were erected on the city wall, countless enemies climbed up, Xia Yu commanded the Tang Army, and with the cooperation of various generals, they were united.
To say that the overall quality of the Xue family's army is actually not high, they are still far behind the regular army.
The Tang Army is the old foundation of the Qin Wang Army, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, how can Xue Renguo take advantage, after a battle, they lost more than 3,000 troops.
Xue Ju was very angry about this, and decisively ordered that our Xue family army and the Tang army were consumed here, and when the city was broken, all the Tang army had to be slaughtered.
In this way, four days were consumed, and Xue Jiajun continued to organize small-scale harassment, all of which ended in failure.
Li Shimin brought the Tang Army here, with the intention of cutting through the mess quickly, and he didn't bring much grain and grass. The grain and grass in the rear were cut off by Wang Shichong. According to Wang Shichong's character, it is very likely to take advantage of the fire to rob.
When the military academy reported the situation, Xia Yu said peacefully: "Don't worry, when Your Majesty wakes up, you have a clever plan." ”
In the afternoon, Xia Yu went to visit Li Shimin, and the other party's condition improved a lot, and he finally woke up.
"Your Majesty, when you were unconscious, Xia Yu planned to harm you." Fu Luo faithfully reported the situation to Li Shimin: "Fortunately, God bless, you finally woke up." ”
Li Shimin was lying on the bed, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was weak: "General Fu, you said that Xia Yu wants to harm me?" Get out of the way! ”
Volo's mouth moved.
"Your Majesty, Wang Shichong, this villain, took advantage of the fire to rob and cut off our grain route." Another general reported.
"What do you want to say, do you want me to quit the army? My first imperial expedition, how could I retreat because of a small setback? Li Shimin's words frightened the general to his knees.
Li Shimin gave Xu Shiji and Li Jing and other veterans a reassurance, and he looked at Xia Yu: "General Xia, what kind of characters Xue Ju's father and son are, you and I can see it." Those who act against heaven like them are rejected by man and God. My Tang Army is a righteous army, and it will never be defeated, do you say yes or no? ”
These words were suspected of squeezing Xia Yu, and he was slightly displeased, but what Li Shimin said was also the truth.
At that moment, Xia Yu said: "Your Majesty's plan to break the enemy, Xia Yu has already thought about it." Please also ask Your Majesty to move to the Jingshui River and let the enemy run rampant for a while. ”
Fu Luo seized the opportunity and immediately bit him like a mad dog: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that this plan is categorically unfeasible. If we reach the Jingshui River, there is a large plain. After the two armies fought, Wan Yan was the opponent of Xue Ju's father and son. As the saying goes, a wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake, and I think General Xia's plan is a stinky move, and it is not feasible. ”
"Your Majesty, although the last general hates Fuluo, he is also suspicious of this plan!"
"In the plains, our army does not have a geographical advantage, and it is very easy to be defeated by Xue Ju's father and son, please think twice!"
Volo was even more proud when he saw several generals on his side.
Li Shimin has seen too many things that Xia Yu has accomplished impossible, and he has unconditional trust in Xia Yu.
What worries me most now is the rumor that Li Shimin retreated without a fight, which greatly damaged the face of today.
Xia Yu seemed to have known what Li Shimin was thinking: "Your Majesty, this is a strategic retreat. ”
This word was said beautifully, and it hit Li Shimin's heart, and he nodded and said: "General Xia is right, we are a strategic retreat, not a defeat." ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" The generals all laughed in their hearts.
Fu Luo never expected that Li Shimin actually agreed to Xia Yu's retreat plan, with a scornful face: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be, must not!" ”
Li Shimin glanced at Fu Luo with disdain: "General Fu, do you have a better way?" ”
Volozhi couldn't answer. In the eyes of the generals, he was like a clown.
Under Xia Yu's arrangement, all the baggage equipment brought by the Tang Army was piled up at the back door of Ningwu City.
It took the Xue family army more than half a day to clean up the equipment, and the Tang army had been moving forward for three hours. After removing the equipment, they marched with all their strength to catch up with the Tang army.
During the march, Xia Yu asked Li Shimin to tie a rope to the simple stretcher he made, so that he would not move and affect his recovery after injury. The Tang Army is also marching in full force.
For two days, both sides marched with all their might, and at once the Tang Army crossed the Jingshui River and settled down on the other side of the river.
"Father, what kind of tricks did you say the Tang Army was doing. There is no danger ahead, a plain. Is this looking for death? "Xue Renguo has low intelligence, but he still has a certain insight in military affairs.
"We have good things from those mysterious people, I'm afraid they are a fart!" Victory appeared immediately, and Xue Ju would never give up.
Xue Renguo: "Father, in the future, you will be the Son of Heaven, and I will be the Prince!" ”
The two laughed silly.
On the other side, Xia Yu shouted loudly: "That pair of fools of the Xue family, use your spears and cannons to attack us, beg for abuse!" ”
"The father and son of the Xue family are defeated generals under General Xia, how dare the two of them call you a battle, I think they are not even as stupid, they are just a pair of turtles with shrunken heads!"
"They don't even have the head of the turtle shrunk, and the turtle sometimes sticks out its head!"
The father and son of the Xue family were so angry that they screamed.
Xue Ju: "Carry our cannon out, I will blast Xia Yu into minced meat with my own hands!" ”
Four rounds of cannons lined up and set up roots by the river. Thousands of rifles were aimed at the other side of the river.
Xia Yu shouted from the other side: "General Ben is clever, these guys of yours are about to be abolished." ”
Xue Ju: "Fart, if you say it's wasted, it will be wasted." ”
He was hard talked, but he didn't know the bottom of his heart, took a torch, lit one of the red-coated cannons, and the fuse sizzled, without the slightest problem.
As soon as I settled down, I saw more than a dozen water columns suddenly shooting from the other side of the Jingshui River, and the long sky was like a long dragon drinking water out of the stream, emitting colorful light under the sun.
Xia Yu casually looked around that day and found that in the accompanying arsenal, the high-pressure water cannon that was used to attack Huoyi City was still there.
