"This is Sanniang?"

In the camp of the Sui army under the new city, General Wuhou of the Left, General of the Sixth Army of the Right, Taishou of Yanjun, and Luo Yi, Duke of Yanguo, were wearing imperial bronze armor, holding the jade sword in their hands, and their eyes were looking at the heroic young man.

Li Sanniang was dressed in silver armor, covered with a silver robe, holding a silver lance and wearing a silver sword. She stood there with a silver helmet in one hand, straight and sassy.

Even Luo Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw it.

Women don't let the eyebrows go.

"The last general, Li Xiuning, met with the general."

Li Xiuning had a frosty face and didn't smile harshly, but the more this was the case, the more Luo Yi admired this girl. In fact, most of the nobles in Guanlong started in the military, even those wealthy families in Longyou at the beginning were both civil and military, so the children of these noble families were all very brave. Even the women of aristocratic families can ride fast horses and drive horn bows.

However, in recent years, the world has been peaceful, and the aristocratic family has gradually become infected with the custom of Xiangwen, and many noble children have slowly learned literature, not to mention those women.

And Li Yuan's concubine can actually hold a helmet and a lance, which is really unusual.

"Xiuning, that's a good name. I don't know what kind of position I have now? ”

"Adjutant General of the Central Guard Regiment of the First Army on the Left of the Imperial Camp."

Luo Yi nodded, looked to the side, and saw Li Jiancheng with a not very good-looking face at a glance.

"Li Gongzi is also here, I don't know what position he holds?"

"Temporarily appointed to the post of secretary to join the army."

Luo Yi smiled, Li Sanniang is the deputy general of the pro-guard regiment, but this Li Dalang is a secretary to join the army, which is a little interesting.

"Li Shimin, deputy colonel of the first battalion of the pro-guard regiment, visited General Luo."

A heroic young man next to Li Jiancheng saluted loudly, and Luo Yi saw that the young man was not very old, but his voice was loud, especially his eyes were very bright.

"You must be the second son of Tang Guogong, I didn't expect to be so heroic, I'm afraid it's not sixteen this year, right?"

"Senior General, I'm fifteen years old this year."

At the age of fifteen, he had already served as the deputy lieutenant of the battalion, and I have to say that he has the demeanor of a martial arts general.

"I'll test you, you said that this time our two armies are besieging the new city, and Your Majesty is limited to break the city in January, do you have any good way to break the city?" Luo Yi asked Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was not polite, and said directly, "In fact, from the perspective of the office, it is easy to break the new city." There are at most four or five thousand defenders left in Xincheng, although they resist stubbornly by virtue of the danger of the mountain city, but after all, they are also tired for a long time, and they are also physically and mentally exhausted after besieging the city for so long. ”

"Young people, don't learn to talk big, right? What are the specific plans to hear? ”

"When General Luo broke through the city of Wuliluo, it is said that he listened to the strategy of the Marquis of Xiangyang and built a Yuliang Avenue under the city?"

"That's right."

Li Shimin said with a smile, "Now we can also paint gourds in the same way, and build a Yuliang Avenue under the new city." The perimeter of the new city is more than ten miles, but the defenders are only a few thousand, even if you add the 10,000 young men in the city, there are still few soldiers in the city. In the previous long-term siege, the fortifications on the periphery of the new city have been almost swept away, so we are now facing only a few thousand tired troops besieging the city, directly recruiting a group of prisoners and a group of migrant workers, covering them with bows and arrows, filling in the earth and piling up a fish-beam avenue, straight up to the city wall, and then it will be easy to break the city. ”

Luo Yi nodded when he heard this, this Li Erlang couldn't imagine that he was so young, but his brain was very active, and he was able to say such an effective method.

In fact, this Yuliang Road is just a very ordinary method of siege, and it is generally not practical, unless the enemy in the city can only be trapped and cannot attack, and there are few soldiers, this will give you the opportunity to calmly pile up a dirt mountain leading to the city.

But now the situation in the new city is indeed suitable for repairing Yuliang Road.

"It's a pity that the new city is a mountain city, otherwise Yuliang Road cooperates with the tunnel, one bright and one dark, which is more secure." Li Shimin said.

"Tang Guogong, this Erlang of your family is really good, he is only fifteen years old, and he has such insight and strategy, it is amazing."

Li Yuan was also a little proud, although this second child was several years older than the eldest child, but in terms of intelligence, he was indeed a few points better than the eldest Jiancheng, but his eye disease before made him worry for a long time.

"No matter how you compare, you can't compare to your Xiangyang Hou, Xiangyang Hou is really powerful, at this moment, maybe Xiangyang Hou has invaded Pyongyang and captured Gao Yuan alive."

"Hahaha, my family Shicheng, isn't it also your son-in-law now, a family, all of them are their own family."

Under the new city, after the convergence of Li Yuan and Luo Yi's two armies, after a simple military discussion, Luo Yi agreed that Li Yuan used Li Shimin's strategy to build a Yuliang Avenue straight up to the city wall, and the location chosen was a relatively flat section of the new city, the terrain under the city wall was flat, and at the same time the outside was open, which was suitable for the Sui army's powerful bow and crossbow to play, which was conducive to covering the prisoners and the people to build a slope with the soil.

It took three days to prepare.

Li Yuan and Luo Yi brought tens of thousands of prisoners and people, and set up countless catapults, ballistas, and arrow towers at the siege site, with the bows and arrows of the Sui army formation one after another, and immediately formed an absolute fire suppression on this section of the city wall.

The drums of war are thundering.

Under the supervision of the Sui army, countless people and captives pushed shoulder-to-shoulder and carried the earthwork to the city.

In order to ensure the chance of victory, Li Yuan even directly asked people to build three Yuliang avenues at the same time.

In one day, the Sui army and the two armies of 70,000 horses shot millions of arrows, and the city wall on that side for several miles was already densely packed with arrows.

No less than 2,000 Goguryeo soldiers and civilians died under the arrows of the Sui army.

But the Goguryeo people still have to hold shields, pot lids to guard, if you don't keep it, you can't do it, although the Yuliang Avenue is slowly repaired, but it is also constantly taking shape, if they don't put arrows under the city, then the repair will be faster.

But even with huge casualties, they did not stop the Sui army's Yuliang Avenue.

In the city, Yang Wanchun's face was like ashes.

"I didn't expect Luo Cheng to leave, Guo Yan came, this Guo Yan left, and Li Yuan Luo Yi came, now it seems that the new city is difficult to keep."

"But we've been guarding it for so long, is that it?"

Yang Wanchun gritted his teeth, "It's all because the Yuan clan refuses to rescue, and for such a long time, they refuse to send a single soldier." ”

"Now they can't send it if they want to, hundreds of thousands of Sui troops are staring at the big and small mountain cities on the first line of the Liao River, attacking day and night, and no one can get out of the city."

"Then we can only run, the green mountains are here, we are not afraid of no firewood, we will come back sooner or later." Yang Wanchun observed the Sui army for a day, and had already judged that this time he couldn't hold it.

In fact, up to now, there are only 3,000 soldiers in the new city who can fight, and although there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, they are actually only temporarily armed by the young and strong people in the city that he recruited, and these cannot be regarded as soldiers at all.

As night fell, the day's siege ended, and the Sui army lit countless bonfires under the southwest city wall, illuminating that period as if it were day. In the northeast corner of the new city, Yang Wanchun took 3,000 defenders and quietly escaped from the city at night.

After dawn, when the Sui army launched bows and arrows at the city again, they found that the city did not respond.

When the shrinking captives and the men approached the city with earth, not a single arrow was fired.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin frowned, "Could it be that the Goguryeo people still have to go out of the city to destroy Yuliang?" ”

Luo Yi next to him laughed, "No, Yang Wanchun has already fled, herald, cloud ladder city, break the city!" ”
