Luo Zhaoyun personally came to supervise the battle, not dressed in a yellow robe and a crown on his head, but completely armored and silver-armed, and moved around in front of the military formation.

The shadow of the tree, the name of the person, and some of the legendary stories of Luo Zhaoyun have been brewed over the years, and the people in many places have heard the form of some wine shop reviews, etc., and this is especially true in the army, which has won the admiration and reverence of the military officers and soldiers.

When he rode around in front of the formation, looking down at the phalanx with spears like a forest, he was suddenly silent, and the soldiers were very excited, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

This is what Luo Zhaoyun wants to see, to inspire the fighting spirit and confidence of the soldiers, and to win Taigu City in one fell swoop.

Today's troops, gunpowder, weapons, etc., will be unprecedented in these siege days, because the Dahua Emperor personally drove to the expedition, must create a thunderous momentum, so the siege must be fierce, deter the Tang army, and disintegrate the enemy's fighting spirit.

After a while, Luo Zhaoyun began to shout loudly: "Soldiers, the Great Sui has collapsed, the mountains and rivers have been shattered, thousands of people have fallen into fire and water, their lives have been ruined, the fields are barren, and millions have starved to death. I Dahua from the northwest to raise troops, first to resist the field, and then push all sides of the rebellion, to quell the rebellion of the princes, now there is still the Tang Kingdom, the north is about to be unified, the soldiers to witness such the founding of the country, when the courage to kill the enemy, live up to expectations! ”

"Fight the enemy! Fight bravely to kill the enemy-" The three armies roared, shouting and shaking the city.

The morale was mobilized, and the atmosphere outside the city was boiling, and the shouts shook the sky, like a landslide and the ground cracked.

The soldiers of the Tang Army at the head of the city, seeing this scene, their faces were like ashes, especially when they learned that the invincible Luo Zhaoyun personally drove to the city, and brought many soldiers and horses, which made the soldiers of the defenders completely cold.

Sergeant Tang stood there, his expression stiff, wooden and desperate, feeling that there was no possibility of winning this battle at all.

Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong and others, when they inspected the city, saw this scene, they were also in a low mood, and many strategists saw the dense phalanx of soldiers and horses outside the city, neat and well-organized, and the armor was strong, and they all felt cold.

This tough battle is destined to be a river of blood and extremely tragic.

They don't know how long they can hold on to their hearts.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this Taigu City is in danger, and the subordinates think that the prince should leave as soon as possible to avoid accidents."

"That is, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and there can be no loss." The prince's cronies began to persuade them to do their own thing, and they didn't want to stay here.

Li Jiancheng shook his head, his face was unhappy, and said: "At this moment of life and death, as the supreme commander, how can he escape strictly?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not a temporary escape, but a selective and strategic transfer, we have implemented the clear field of the fortified wall these days, and have achieved some results, knowing that Taigu City cannot be defended, and the prince must not stay too long. Let's think about it, every time Luo Zhaoyun sends troops, he doesn't fight uncertain battles, since he appears this time, maybe he has already laid out, and his subordinates are worried that we will be besieged here and become bait, and when the time comes, the prince and the king of Qin will be used as a threat, forcing the king of Tang to send troops to help, and he will fall for Luo Zhaoyun's scheme. Shi Yu Wenying, the head of the Prince's Mansion, explained.

Feng Li, who was also a strategist in the Prince's Mansion, looked solemn and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is another possibility, since Luo Zhaoyun has arrived outside the city, his subordinates are most worried about whether he will repeat his old tricks and have already sent troops to copy our back road, so, for the sake of insurance, the prince and the king of Qin should leave first." ”

Li Xiaogong hesitated and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's better to be like this, the last general is responsible for holding this city, and then leaving a few generals to assist, hold it for a few days, and buy time for Qingye, the prince and the king of Qin, you can go separately, supervise the implementation of Qingye on the east and west sides, and then return to Jinyang to resume your life, this Taigu City, has been riddled with holes, more than half of the people in the city are killed and wounded, and the number of men is less than one-third of the original number, this city basically has little value, once the city is broken, the subordinates will order it to be burned, and will not give the Hua Dynasty army any advantage to occupy, Let them get a dead empty city. ”

Li Jiancheng was moved by his words, and his heart was really a little shaken, knowing that this city could not be defended, as a prince, he could not take such a risk.

According to the previous national rite system, after the crown prince is canonized, the prince will gradually participate in the auxiliary government, and once he becomes an adult, he must go to the court to listen to the policy of the hundred officials, build a separate tooth mansion, and gradually grow up to prepare for the future accession to the throne, which has been pursued before the Sui Dynasty.

The status of the crown prince is important, so he can't take risks easily and lead troops out to fight, which is not conducive to the safety of the imperial court candidates.

In the end, Li Jiancheng decided that he could leave early, but he had to survive for half a day and see with his own eyes how fierce the Dahua army was and how it was deflated under this Xiongguan.

"Knock knock!"

The war drums under the city were beating, the army was condensed, and then it was pushed forward, with neat steps, momentum like a mountain, and towering and overwhelming.

In an instant, Pioneer Street and the Left Army began to attack the city.

Today, because the emperor came to watch the battle in person, Hou Junji, Xu Shiji and other generals all felt a little pressure, and at the same time wanted to show it.

As soon as the battle began, I saw two teams of men and horses attacking the city fiercely, wanting to compare, who could break the city first, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Woohoo!"

Ten thousand arrows fired in unison, breaking through the air and roaring, completely covering the sky above the city, dense, like black clouds covering the sky.

The arrows fell, but the strength was still very strong, shooting and killing many guards, as well as soldiers and civilians transporting wood and stones, and a lot of arrows rained down on the ground, sticking to the rocky ground, and the tail was trembling.

"Boom!"

A platoon of improvised artillery guns has been loaded and fired, suppressing firearms on and inside the city.

Taigu City was trembling, because many barrels of explosives were escorted to the corner of the city, looking for weak points, and began to detonate, hoping to blow out the hole and send troops in.

Luo Zhaoyun stared ahead, his expression did not move, and calmly accepted the current battlefield duel.

At this moment, Ning Wufei, the Duyu Marquis of the guard army, came over and conveyed the information to Luo Zhaoyun that on the way to the retreat of the Tang army, the ambush had been completed.
