Chapter 35 Nanyang's attack and defense are opened

The biggest trouble with Li Heng is not his own ability to forbear, but his identity.

As a prince and nobleman, Li Heng has been the pride of the sky since he was a child, and he is also the respect of the prince.

In later generations, this has not been able to get rid of the differential treatment brought about by the identity gap, not to mention the feudal era?

Even if Li Heng killed people and set fires, it was not enough to ask for guilt.

But there is a bottom line in everything, the weight of imperial power, no one is allowed to touch it.

In order to seek the throne, Li Heng secretly instructed Ji Wen to frame Zhongliang, which led to a bad situation in the Northeast and single-handedly contributed to the strength of the rebels.

Such evil deeds are rare in the ages.

Throughout history, there have not been many people who have led wolves into the house in this way.

Pei Min made this matter public, which directly led to the capture of Li Heng.

Lingwu was in an uproar.

Especially the small group of people who think that Li Heng's talent is slightly better than Li Yan, and they are more suitable for inheriting the unification than Li Yan, only feel that their faces hurt.

Li Yan was also stunned, he had great respect for his brother.

It can be said that in Li Yan's heart, the closest person is Li Heng.

Li Yan believed in Pei Min, it was because of Li Longji's ear to face life, and Li Yan brought his respect for Li Longji to Pei Min. His real contact with Pei Min was only in the years after he became emperor......

Li Heng is indeed Li Yan's third brother, a brother who has played together since childhood.

This emotion cannot be replaced by any outsider.

Therefore, Li Yan has great respect for Li Heng's brother.

Li Yan's biggest and only advantage is that he is self-aware, and he also knows that his abilities are extremely mediocre, and he obeys the people he trusts.

Li Heng has made suggestions for Li Yan behind his back many times, but Li Yan refused, where did he think that his most trusted brother would actually have such a bad idea.

Looking back on all these years, Li Yan couldn't help but feel that his pores were terrified.

For the first time, Li Yan moved the real fire, and shouted angrily: "Check, brother-in-law, check it out for me." I want to see what I'm doing, brother. ”

Pei Min did not agree, but said: "This matter is not within the value of the minister's power, Your Majesty can issue an order to let the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai form three divisions, and then let the officials of Zongzheng Temple observe, and they will definitely be able to find out all this." ”

Li Yan said: "Just do what my uncle said!" ”

Pei Min immediately recruited the Imperial Doctor, Dali Siqing, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and ordered them to set up three divisions for trial.

Facing the three of Yu Shi Dafu, Dali Siqing, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Pei Min had no special arrangements, and did not even put forward any opinions, but just asked them to let go and investigate.

Most people thought that Pei Min would make a big deal about this matter, but in fact, Pei Min's behavior surprised them.

For all this, Pei Min's attitude is to ignore it.

Li Linfu in the imperial history and Xu Ming, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, are all Pei Min's people, but they did not participate in the triage of the three divisions this time.

The Imperial Doctor, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department are like mirrors in their hearts.

The more Pei Min is like this, the more he proves Li Heng's guilt, and there is no need for any small actions at all.

Lee Hyung is finished!

Nanyang!

Hundreds of thousands of rebels besieged the three outer layers of Nanyangli, and there was no gap at all.

Although An Lushan is a foreigner, he was born in the Tang Dynasty, and the main backbone under his command is Gao Miao, He Qianqian, Zhang Wanqing, Xu Guidao, Dugu Wenshu, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Tongyu are all Han generals. They are proficient in the tactics of the Han people, and they are very methodical in the art of siege.

After arriving in Nanyang, General He Qianqian, Zhang Wanqing, and Xu Guidao spent three days filling in the land with potholes and ravines in one step to facilitate the use of siege equipment.

The moat was then filled in and the high slopes were piled up with sand so that their crossbowmen could threaten the defenders of Nanyang City during the siege to avoid being shot passively.

This step-by-step foreshadowing is for today's decisive battle.

An Lushan's rebellion, with the help of both the enemy and us, drove straight in, broke through Chang'an and Luoyang, captured equipment craftsmen from all over the country, and created a large number of offensive and defensive equipment.

Nanyang is the most critical thing for An Lushan to turn the tide of the war, and for this battle, An Lushan also gave up everything and used everything he could.

even specially dismantled the giant city guarding crossbow on the upper floor of Luoyang City and used it in the battle of Nanyang.

Cloud ladders, building cars, crash cars, moat bridges, sage cars, Linchong Lu buses and all kinds of siege equipment gathered under Nanyang City.

An Lushan knew that the key to the overall victory or defeat was the gains and losses in Nanyang, but seeing that his military might was so thick and the siege equipment was so sophisticated, he couldn't help but be complacent.

Standing on the command platform, An Lushan pointed to the towering Nanyang City and shouted: "Warriors, you have captured Luoyang and taken Chang'an, just one Nanyang." Where can you stop your footsteps? Listen to me, whoever goes to the city first, regardless of his identity, I will make him the Marquis of Nanyang and reward him with 100,000 yuan. ”

He encouraged the military spirit and said to Zhang Wanqing beside him: "Boom, boom to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, we have so many siege equipment, and we can't collapse a Nanyang City." ”

Zhang Wanqing was originally a member of the Tang Dynasty general as a prisoner.

Zhang Wanqing is well aware of the power of various siege equipment, and is the deputy person in charge of the attack on Nanyang, mainly responsible for the use of siege equipment.

After receiving An Lushan's order, Zhang Wanqing waved the order flag in his hand.

The head car, the chariot, and the Linchong Lu bus hit the front and slowly moved forward, followed by the well, the giant ballista, and the rock-throwing cart followed.

As the war drums sounded rapidly, the Nanyang offensive and defensive battle was the beginning.

There was no earth-shattering shout, no shouting of the charge. There was only the sound of crunching wheels, and the sound of boulders whistling and crossbows breaking through the air.

In Nanyang City, Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun shrank their heads and hid behind the battlements.

The range of the rebels' stone-throwing carts and giant ballistas was far higher than the weapons possessed by Nanyang to defend the city.

Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun and Nanyang warriors, they are not lacking in courage and blood, but in the face of this technological crush, there is really nothing they can do.

Nan Jiyun poked his head out, and the cannon stones and giant crossbows in the sky couldn't make his eagle eyes shine with the slightest fear.

He said worriedly: "Let them smash it like this, then it's worth it?" None of us will kill them, and the wall will collapse for them. ”

Zhang Xun also poked his head out, looked at the array of siege equipment, and said: "Actually, these siege equipment is not terrible, what is powerful is their command." Nanba, did you find that the foothold of the cannon stone is very close, which shows that their command is very skilled in the study of the stone throwing vehicle. If I'm not mistaken, it's Zhang Wanqing, he is a prisoner and is proficient in the use of various siege equipment. It made him play to the fullest, and we couldn't last long. If you want to defend Nanyang, you must kill this thief! ”
