Chapter 517: The Battle of Tackling Tough Problems (Third Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The enemy suddenly arrived, but fortunately, with Li Shimin's reminder, he was not taken advantage of.
With the discovery of enemy traces, all the defenders stood on the tower, including the Li Shimin brothers.
Everyone was waiting for the battle, not daring to underestimate it in the slightest, at this moment the enemy army was strong, how could they be willing to kill themselves.
Li Shimin looked at the dense enemy troops outside the pass, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy army is not small, and Li Shimin is here with you to meet the enemy today, and he will definitely defend the Bishui Pass." ”
As the son of Li Yuan, Li Shimin's identity is naturally noble, and with his words at this moment, the morale of the army was slightly boosted, and he looked at the enemy army attentively and met the enemy with all his might.
……
Outside the gate, Luo Cheng's long-awaited night attack was finally launched.
After all, this night attack was only a tentative attack, and Luo Cheng did not let the Snapdragon Army act as the main force. Instead, they dispatched men and horses from all sides to attack Bishui Pass together to argue the reality of the enemy's army.
But to Luo Cheng's surprise, the enemy's reaction was extremely fast, and before the army could attack the level, he noticed the abnormal movement and responded quickly.
After thinking about it carefully, Luo Cheng understood that I was afraid that this was all because of Li Shimin. With Li Shimin's intelligence and understanding of him, did he advance this night attack in advance?
Luo Cheng smiled with relief and was unmoved, even if Li Shimin prepared in advance, this battle was also inevitable. If Li Shimin is unwilling to expose the truth, then let him see how many catties and taels his soldiers and horses have!
Luo Cheng didn't have much hostility towards Li Shimin, but now that the two sides are in different camps, Luo Cheng can only do this. If Li Yuan is defeated one day, the two may still have the possibility of chatting freely.
Looking at the defenders waiting on the wall, Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows lightly, and said indifferently: "Attack immediately, those who break through the pass first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and promoted to general." ”
At such a time, Luo Cheng has no need to be polite at all, anyway, in the troubled times, the official position is up to them. As for money or something, it was not a problem at all in front of Luo Cheng.
The so-called wealth is moving, and the reward promised by Luo Cheng is already sky-high for ordinary soldiers. If they want to get ahead, they naturally do their best to charge towards the wall.
The ladder has been erected, and the siege vehicle is also waiting for the opportunity to move, at this moment the battle is open, and it directly crashes into the gate, and the huge force makes the gate tremble, and Li Shimin and others are also aware of it.
Li Shimin frowned, how dare he take it lightly, even if he is defeated by the Bishui army, he still has a way to live, but this is not what he wants to see, he wants to win this battle and defend the Bishui Pass.
On the top of the ladder, many soldiers rushed to charge, and although the ladder in front of them was difficult, it was their ladder to heaven. As long as they can kill the Guan Lou, they will be able to rise to the top.
Although in the Great Sui period, there was an initial imperial examination system, but the bureaucracy in the world was still controlled by the scholars. This is a rare opportunity in front of him, after all, other anti-kings are not as generous as Luo Cheng.
The allied charge was fierce, but the defenders in Bishui Pass were no joke. When they saw the enemy approaching, they took out the many weapons that had been prepared to defend the city.
All of them, including arrows and logs, were now moved out, and the archers bent their bows and arrows and shot at the enemy troops outside the pass, which was their first line of defense.
As soon as the enemy approaches, the archers will back off, and the other soldiers will eat boulders and log and throw them down the wall, and shoot down the soldiers who climb the ladder.
The soldier climbed on the ladder, and once he was hit so hard, where would he still be alive. After landing, he is basically dead, but such a death cannot affect others.
Although there have not been many anti-kings from all walks of life recently, they are also rebels, and although the soldiers under their command may not be elite, they have also seen blood, and they are also fierce on the battlefield.
They are fighting for their own interests, where can they care about anything else?
Luo Cheng watched the battle behind the army, and the same was true of the anti-kings from all walks of life, seeing that the coalition army was charging to tackle the key problems, although he was a little nervous in his heart, he was not too nervous.
After all, this battle is just a temptation, although there are their soldiers and horses in this army, but so many families put together, the number is not large, and the anti-kings will naturally not be worried about this.
Anyway, it wasn't just their family that died, and ordinary soldiers were nothing to the anti-kings. Not everyone values the lives of ordinary soldiers, and most of the anti-kings from all walks of life just use it as a tool.
The army charged forward, and under the fierce resistance of the defenders, there were casualties, and they fell down the ladder. But this could not quench their fighting spirit, and at this moment, the coalition forces marched together, which was also a rare time for them to be fierce.
Don't look at the casualties of the coalition forces, the same is true of the defenders on the wall, although the coalition forces cannot directly impact them, but there are also archers outside the gate to cover, and many arrows break through the air and fly straight to the wall.
There were casualties on both sides, but the fighting would not stop.
The battlefield is so cruel that if there is no order from the commander, then you can only wait for the battle to decide the winner.
The soldiers could choose to flee from the battle, but there were also military judges in the army, and when they saw the fleeing soldiers, they would cut off their heads with the blades in their hands, and they had nothing to say.
It is also necessary to pay for his life, but if he is decisive, he may have a chance to win fame.
Looking at this fierce battle situation, Yin Kaishan frowned, and said very uncertainly: "Are they preparing for a decisive battle, if it is just a temptation, how can they attack so fiercely?" ”
As Yin Kaishan said, the battle situation at this moment was much more fierce than they imagined, which Li Shimin did not expect.
But Li Shimin did not panic because of this, he still remained indifferent, if the main generals of one side had nothing to do and fell into a panic, then this army was basically defeated.
After a little mover, Li Shimin said with a straight face: "Don't worry, the enemy may have other calculations, and it is not yet time to go all out at this moment, Yuanba, you go up to help the battle." ”
Li Shimin gave an order, dispelled Yin Kaishan's thoughts, and sent Li Yuanba out at the same time. With the addition of Li Yuanba, presumably the situation can be stabilized.
When Li Yuanba heard this, he was unequivocal, and his relationship with Li Shimin was different from that with Li Jiancheng. Although both of them are his brothers, Li Yuanba is convinced of Li Shimin, and there is nothing to say about this matter.
Seeing that Li Yuanba went up with a double hammer, Duan Zhixuan and Yin Kaishan were slightly relieved, but they still hesitated a little and asked, "Now that the enemy is attacking so urgently, what is the second son planning?" ”
Li Shimin looked at the two of them and muttered: "If the enemy army completely breaks the void and reality, then the water is broken, and it will be in the near future, how can the people of the world not be more vigilant?" ”
