The dark clouds thickened, and the moonlight became darker and darker, as if someone had covered the entire city with a layer of dark colored sarongs, and the characters were blurry and difficult to discern. If anyone can look down on Chang'an from above, they will find that this huge city is like a large ant nest at this time, and the ant colony that inhabits it seems to have been stimulated by some kind of stimulation and become nervous. Groups of ants left their stations and crawled in a horizontal formation. Their movements may seem haphazard, but if you look closely, you can see that their actions are bound by some invisible force, ensuring that all ants act with a purpose, not blindly.

The power to manipulate these ant colonies is the beating of drums. After the sound of the deserted mansion was heard by the sound of the soldiers patrolling the city from six places, the whole city reacted. The generals brandished leather whips and shouted, and the able-bodied soldiers climbed on the city walls and the walls of the alleys, removed the silk cloth from the cowhide drum, and picked up the drumsticks and stood by.

The first drum sounded, and all the drummers listened intently, discerning the melody of the drums, and then beat the cowhide drum according to the force of the well-practiced melody to convey the military orders to the soldiers of the city.

Chang'an City is too big, even if tens of thousands of eagles raise soldiers, it is only worthy of guarding the city wall, and it is impossible to do everything. Dispatching and commanding on the spot is even more troublesome. This is the reason why the so-called city is difficult to defend. If it is a small city like the clouds, the black lieutenant Chi roars a few times, so that his subordinates can understand how to act, otherwise Liu Wu shouts on Monday, and his subordinates can also complete the assembly and battle.

But in the face of such a huge city, even if you shout hoarsely, you can't pass the order to the soldiers below. The dispatch and command of all the soldiers in the city relied on the drums and trumpets to convey military orders. The place where the order was issued was the drum tower in the city, and Yin Hongzhi, the son of Yin Shishi, and his nephew Yin Hongxiu took turns to be on duty to give orders.

As the imperial capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, Chang'an has always been a place with strict rules, especially the curfew system. Except for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, even in the most peaceful season, 800 drums will be beaten every day at the beginning of the unitary hour, and the drum duration is about an hour. Pedestrians who heard the drums either hurried home or stayed with their relatives, otherwise as soon as the drums stopped, all the doors of the city's 100 orders and eight squares would be closed. At this time, the people who stayed on the street committed the crime of walking at night, and once they were caught, they would be exiled, even if they were eunuchs in the court.

In order to ensure that the sound of drums resounded throughout the city, many drum towers were set up in Chang'an City to beat drums and transmit sounds. Now there is no need to enforce the curfew, and these drum towers have become the heralds of the Yin Shishi, and they are also the eyes and ears of the tens of thousands of eagles in the city. At the same time that Xu Le led his subordinates to rush out of the mansion, the drums in Chang'an City were everywhere, and the giant beast gradually woke up in the drums, showing its minions and preparing to meet the opponent who came to provoke!

Inside the Weixuan Mansion.

The Yin World Master who was summoned by Wei Xuan was covered in armor and his eyebrows were tightly locked, listening to the drums and trumpets in the city. Opposite him, Wei Xuan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, looked leisurely, gently shook the tea cup in his hand, and said in a calm and calm tone: "It's just a partial division, and there will be no trouble." Tens of thousands of armor soldiers in our city are waiting for them, and the sons and nephews of General Yin personally supervise the army, and the father and son of Gujun are also on duty at the head of the city. If this scale is not enough for even a partial division, how can we hold the city? ”

"Gong Wei is reasonable, but this time our opponent is not only that partial division."

"I know, I have to add Li Yuan's vanguard army, it's just a group of rabble." Wei Xuan smiled slightly: "When Yang Xuan rebelled that day, most of his subordinates were family members, known as 100,000 people, with dozens of miles of camps, banners covering the sky and spears and halberds like forests, and their momentum was not inferior to today's Li family horses. But when it came time to attack the city, these soldiers and horses were just waving their flags and shouting to make a strong noise, and no one would take the city first. In the final analysis, these people and horses are the capital that those families rely on to protect themselves, and they all want to build a country and break the territory and seal the territory, and they are afraid of losing their own strength. If they succeed in the front battle, they will naturally charge with their lives, but no one is willing to do the drudgery of attacking the fortified village and making wedding dresses for other families with their own soldiers and horses. The reason why the attack on Hongnong Palace did not fall for three days lies in this. The situation of the Li family is the same now, although there are many of them, they all have their own thoughts. I am the head of the world's heroic capital, and if I want to attack this city, I must sacrifice thousands of lives. Those people want to eat meat, who is willing to die? The one who can really work hard for the Li family is still the elite of the headquarters. You have prepared such a generous gift for them, and there are thousands of elite soldiers, so why be afraid? ”

The Yin World Master looked at Wei Xuan's smiling face, but a chill ran in his heart. Wei Xuan, who has been helping him from the beginning, is now a little unpredictable. His words and even his behavior of recruiting himself into the mansion were obviously blaming himself for his arbitrariness. Presumably, he intercepted the crossbow machines that were supposed to enter the Gongjiang capital without authorization and transported them to the city for the purpose of defending the city, which angered the old man. He was using this way to show his authority, so that he and the rest of the city would understand that as long as Wei Xuan did not die for a day, he would have the final say in this great prosperous city. Whether it is the nominal master, Yang Yun, or someone else, they don't want to shake this authority.

For the old man's reaction, the Yin World Master didn't feel angry, but just felt a little crying and laughing. I thought that Wei Gong was the first shrewd person in the current court, but now it seems that he also has his own intellectual obstacles. If the Li family entered the city, the entire Daxing, together with the king, would have to be martyred in this city. At this time, it is a bit stupid to fight for the authority of false fame.

However, if you want to defend the city now, you must be united and must not clash with the old man. Moreover, Wei Xuan's words also agreed with the Yin Shishi in his heart, although the Li family's army was strong, but the people's hearts were uneven, and sending an elite division into the city should cooperate with the outside, which proved more and more that his subordinates had no fighting spirit and could not cooperate to attack the city.

This year, the peach blossom flood broke out early, and Li Yuan cherished his feathers again, gritted his teeth and contained the people of the entire Chang'an, and most of the whole army was on the verge of being out of cooking. As long as he severely damages the Li family's siege soldiers and horses tonight, so that their hope of breaking the city is lost, the destruction of the Li family is just around the corner. In the past, Xie An was still able to talk and laugh and play games during the Great War, why not follow the example of the ancients today, so as not to be despised by Duke Wei.

A smile appeared on the face of the Yin World Master, and he nodded towards Wei Xuan: "A partial division is dying for thousands of people, but the fire moths are vulnerable. If they want to die, I will fulfill them. Li Yuan didn't think much of his strength to go back to the mastermind, and when he was full of questions, he didn't know if he would regret choosing the wrong opponent. Speaking of this, the Yin Shishi raised the tea cup on the table and put it to his mouth: "I will taste tea here tonight, and enter the palace tomorrow morning to report the good news to Chitose." ”

Outside the city, the people of the Jinyang military camp were boiling with joy. The command and dispatch of troops and horses assembled at night is unfavorable, and non-economic officers and men cannot do it. The vanguard army of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin not only had the Yingyang soldiers and horses of the six provinces in Hedong, but also the subordinates of Chai Shao and Li Shentong and the righteous teachers who were attached along the way, and the gap between them was reflected at this time.

The Jinyang soldiers are neat and well-arrayed, and Chai Shao's subordinates are not bad. However, Li Shentong's men and horses were a little embarrassed, even if they had been prepared, they still fell into each other when the drums sounded, causing the generals to scold again and again, the leather whips whistling in the air, and the screams of the sergeants rang out from time to time. Even more embarrassed than them were the rebels who joined along the way or took the initiative to ask Ying to charge for the Li family.

Most of these people are green forest horses, and they are not hungry bandits, and they have not received many military drills, and military discipline is even more lax. Their previous experience in night warfare was limited to sneak attacks, looting and plundering the countryside, and their use of soldiers and horses was limited. The movement of an army of this magnitude is beyond their capabilities. Not only were the soldiers scattered, but even the generals couldn't find their subordinates, so they only shouted and cursed loudly.

Li Shimin watched coldly, and became more and more convinced in his heart that the army could only advance and not retreat. Now that the Li family is going well, these soldiers and horses still have a lot of grievances in night battles, if they are allowed to withdraw from here to Jinyang, they can't guarantee the supply of grain and straw halfway, and it is strange that these soldiers and horses do not scatter and escape or even rebel. Fortunately, there is Le Langjun in the city tonight, and there is a Xuanjia rider behind him. How these small characters move doesn't matter.

He turned his head to look behind him, and the knight on a horse and wearing a black armor formed a steel wall behind Li Shimin, and the first one was a little wolf girl who had never put on armor and could not lift a long soldier. In the past, when he left the formation, he was behind Xu Lema, and it didn't matter if he wore armor or not. Forced to go alone tonight, he behaved very differently than he used to. In order to reflect the majesty, she still wore cloth armor, so that the little wolf girl was uncomfortable.

Bu Li is not a general, and he doesn't know how to form a military formation, but Xuanjia Cavalry is now leaderless, and everyone knows that she is a person close to Le Langjun, and even many people regard her as Xu Le's future wife and concubine. Since Le Langjun and the other generals are not there, she naturally has the final say. Besides, there are also many people in the Xuanjia Cavalry who are from the Lianghaite tribe, and treat the little wolf girl as a relative of the patriarch, and are willing to obey her orders.

The little wolf girl didn't give random orders to command, but only let the Xuanjia cavalry obey Li Shimin's military orders, and then rode the mount with a small face, holding the dagger with both hands and scanning her subordinates. She doesn't know how to lead troops to fight, she only knows that whoever doesn't listen to orders will stab her head at the Fa-rectification. Fortunately, Xuanjia has already looked good under Xu Le's painstaking training, even if the main general is not there, it will not become a plate of loose sand.

Tonight, the troops gathered in the team, and those stragglers did not dare to resist the order or flee even if they complained, although there were considerations such as Li Jiawei's fame, deterrence, and sharpness of Jinyang's soldiers, it was also inseparable from this elite cavalry who was waiting for the battle.

Although the rumbling drums in the city can command the tens of thousands of soldiers, it also sends news to Li Shimin outside the city. Just listening to the sound of drums, you know that there will be changes in the city, and most of Le Langjun has already made some gains. It's just that the drums in the city are like thunder, and the lights on the city are even more weaving, and I don't know how many torches and lanterns have been lit, which proves that there must be precautions in the city. Xu Le's thirty people are still too thin compared to tens of thousands of opponents, and there is no luck in fighting hard.

Li Jiancheng also came to Li Shimin with a team of elite soldiers at this time, and his tone pretended to be heavy with a sneer on his face: "Erlang, you really made a big mistake here. The master of the underworld is insidious and cunning, how can the city be unprepared? If you look at this arrangement, it is difficult for Le Langjun to succeed even if he has three heads and six arms. Whether he can escape this time is between the two, and there is no need to think about this siege. The Xu family has been friends with my family for many years, and the adults regard Le Langjun as flesh and blood, if he has a good one, how should we explain to the adults? You're so reckless! ”

Li Shimin gritted his teeth: "The younger brother has his own ideas in his heart, and he doesn't care about the eldest brother." Now that the golden drum in the city is great, I know that Le Langjun and others are safe and sound, so I will take Le Langjun out of the city, and then take down the city and present it to adults. If the city is not overcome, a certain person will not come back! ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin raised his horse lance and shouted: "Come with me!" The drums in the army sounded, and Li Shimin rushed to the front with one horse, followed by two hundred Xuanjia horsemen, and behind them was a large group of men and horses winding like dragons, rushing towards the impregnable city. Li Jiancheng looked at his brother's back with the reins in his hand, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he turned his head and waved his hand behind him, and his subordinates roared and shouted to follow Li Shi's militia and horses, and rushed to Chang'an.
