Chapter 19: The Turks Are Coming.
"It's just that I don't feel used to wearing it this year." Li Kuan said casually, he didn't want to tell Huan'er the truth. He is a modern man, and he can't wear any kind of fur and fur clothes they use.
"The slave maid will prepare a few more clothes for the prince in case of emergency." Huan'er said softly.
It's early winter, and there's already a brazier in the house for heating! Li Kuan did not approve of this approach.
The scientific and technological development of this world is too backward, and I don't know what carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are.
I don't know what gas poisoning is?
Although now it is impossible to change this ancient way of heating.
Open the windows for ventilation is a must, otherwise it will be really poisoned. That's a very troublesome thing, it's fine to be lighter, but it's basically hopeless to say something heavier.
So there was a gap in the window. Moreover, the brazier is also far away from them, so it is relatively safer.
Early in the morning, although the sky has just had a glimmer of light.
But this quiet morning was completely destroyed by the sound of a huge trumpet.
In the palace, Li Shimin, who had just finished reviewing the recital, had just gone to bed.
was woken up by the huge sound of the horn, and Li Shimin suddenly stood up.
This is Chang'an City, not a border pass, where does the horn sound come from?
And the sound is so huge.
What the hell is going on?
Wang Ming, who was behind the side hall, heard the sound of the horn and couldn't help but fight a cold war.
The sound of the horn, he will never forget, because that battle was the starting point of his nightmare.
Immediately, he hurried to Li Shimin's bedroom, and Wang Ming also hoped that he had heard it wrong.
But the sound of the horn lasted for a long time, so Wang Ming knew that something was wrong.
Li Shimin began to listen to the sound of the horn twice, but did not judge it.
But when he listened to it later, Li Shimin's heart chuckled.
Li Shimin had not been on a horse for nearly five or six years, and he didn't hear the sound of this horn at first, but now he heard it, it was the horn of the Turks.
But the trumpets are so loud and so long, I'm afraid the Turks are nearby.
Li Shimin was suddenly taken aback by his speculation, if the Turks were nearby, it could only explain one reason.
The Yanmen Pass was breached, and the Turks drove in.
The soldiers approached the city of Chang'an.
If this is true, I am afraid that the army outside Chang'an City has already been captured or annihilated.
That's 50,000 people?
At this time, Wang Ming ran in in a panic.
"Lord, I heard the sound of the trumpet near Chang'an City, and judging from the sound of this trumpet, the Turks have at least five princes." Wang Ming had dealt with the Turks many times and knew the meaning of their horns.
It's not terrible to have five princes, but it's terrible to have five kings. The strength of less than 40,000 people in Chang'an City could not resist it at all.
The walls of Chang'an City are unusually strong, even if they defend the city, it is not a problem to resist an army of 400,000 for a month.
The point is that if there are five kings, it will be really bad.
The king of the Turks can control an army of 100,000 people, and their prince can only control a team of 50,000 years.
Although the walls of Chang'an City are extremely hard, it is still a little difficult to withstand 500,000 people.
If it is kept within 500,000 people, it will not be able to capture Chang'an City in a short time.
That way, you can wait for reinforcements to arrive.
"Send a letter to the Golden Gun first, and ask him to send heavy troops to guard the palace, I am afraid that at this time someone will take advantage of the chaos to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Then you go to the East City Gate first, the situation there is all in your hands, I will go to the West City Gate with the Silver Ring, the South City Gate and the North City Gate alone, with the reaction speed of the Women's Army, they should go there soon. Also, light the beacon. Although I don't know what the specific situation is now, judging by the sound, there should be quite a few Turks. Li Shimin immediately prepared a countermeasure, although the court was stable, he did not go to the battlefield for several years.
However, Li Shimin can still quickly respond to it.
The only uncertainty now is how many Turks are coming, and conservative estimates are at least 300,000.
Otherwise, they would not have quietly eaten the 30,000 people outside the city.
And they can't send any signals.
Li Kuan was woken up by the sound of the horn.
A problem was found.
That is, Huan'er was dressed in armor and stood beside his bed, and Lao Jiu stood at the other end of the bed.
"Lord Wang, no matter what happens now, you are forbidden to leave this house. And now it is estimated that there are less than 20 people left in the palace, and Ma Ye took the rest of the people to join the women's army. Huan'er briefly introduced the current situation.
"What about His Majesty the Emperor and Qian Yi?" Li Kuan heard the sound of the horn and knew that something big must have happened now.
And I'm afraid the worst case, that is, Chang'an City is besieged.
However, in this case, Li Kuan's first thought was His Majesty the Emperor.
Let the old man still be today, if she has any accidents, the entire Han Tang is estimated to be even worse at this moment.
"The emperor left a letter to the prince, and then disappeared. However, Ma Ye said that there are no more than ten people who can keep the emperor in this world, so don't worry. As for Dr. Qian, he has been requisitioned by Ma Ye and follows Ma Ye. Lao Jiu said word by word, Lao Jiu's reaction to the disappearance of His Majesty the Emperor was not very big.
The reason is very simple, Lao Jiu believes in Ma Ye very much, and as Ma Ye's cronies, Lao Jiu knows that it is impossible for Ma Ye to harm His Majesty the Emperor.
Although Ma Ye changed his surname, Ma Ye and His Majesty the Emperor are father and son after all.
How can there be a reason in the world for his own son to harm his own son.
Besides, she is a person in Princess Pingyang's mansion and knows a lot of inside information, and Princess Pingyang's master is His Majesty the Emperor.
Although the princess's martial arts are not as good as Ma Ye's them, they are not much different.
If such an apprentice can be taught, then the master's martial arts will definitely not be bad? It is only higher than the apprentice, not lower.
Li Kuan knew that when the system exploded for the first time, it was because the emperor's four-dimensional item had exceeded one hundred, combined with what Lao Jiu said just now, Li Kuan could affirm one thing, that is, His Majesty the Emperor, his force value must be very high, and judging from the words of Ma Ye from Lao Niu's mouth, his grandfather may have been a fierce general when he was young, and he was quite brave.
And Ma Ye said that there are probably no more than ten people in the world who can keep His Majesty the Emperor.
Ma Ye is not talking about His Majesty the Emperor when he was young, but His Majesty the Emperor who has now entered old age.
And at this age, he can maintain a very high level, Li Kuan knows that he is afraid that his grandfather, when he is young, he may be stronger in martial arts.
"When the system starts automatically, it encounters unprecedented dangerous difficulties due to the speed of detection. So get ready to hand out a starter pack. Moreover, this event is set at five stars, which is the most difficult task. Please be careful that if the host dies the system, it will die. Since it is a five-star event, the system automatically messes with two people. One of them belongs to the host, and the figure is already in the backpack. The host, as long as you meditate on the backpack in your heart, can see it. Moreover, as long as the host takes a fancy to an item in the backpack, the details of the item will pop up immediately, and as long as the mind confirms it silently, the item can be used. The system automatically enters the default state and sorts out the shortlist of historical figures who responded to the five-star event this time. If the host needs to climb the tower of the east gate of Chang'an City, the system will be actively aroused and provide a random list of candidates. ”
After the system was launched, the five-star mission was briefly introduced.
Then it entered the default state.
Li Kuan opened his mouth and said: "Lao Jiu, you go to the door to guard first, I have something to explain to Huan'er." ”
However, Lao Jiu did not move after listening to Li Kuan's words, and Ma Ye's death order to Lao Jiu was: You must protect Li Kuan and never leave.
"Lord Wang, don't be embarrassed for him. Ma Ye gave him a death order, and he must protect the safety of the prince every step of the way. Huan'er opened her mouth and said, she knew that before the crisis was resolved, Lao Jiu would not listen to any words of the prince.
Li Shimin was above the attic of the East City Gate, looking at the group of black cavalry outside the East City Gate.
With a chill in his heart, Li Shimin knew that the Turks must have planned it a long time ago, otherwise they would not have besieged Chang'an City so quickly.
It's a game to the death.
Although it was a mortal situation, Li Shimin knew that even if this was the case, he could not take a step back. Even if you are martyred, you can't retreat.
"Do you want to find out the specifics?" Li Shimin opened his mouth to ask the general guarding the city of the East City Gate.
"Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Prison State, there are about 200,000 Turkic troops outside the East City Gate. And looking at this posture, the leader should be a king. It's just that it's not clear how many Turkic troops there were outside the other three gates. The general said that outside the city gate, there were about 200,000 Turks.
It made it difficult for the general who defended the city. It is war and peace.
The prince of the prison country has the final say.
Li Shimin, the crown prince of the prison state, thought for a while, and then said loudly: "Pass my order, all soldiers will take turns to maintain order in Chang'an City every half an hour from today onwards. As for the rest of the orders, we will get through the difficulties in front of us. ”
Li Shimin knows that the current situation is extremely difficult, and it is not easy to defeat an army of 200,000.
Even if it is really a head-on defeat, it will not be able to do anything. Because it's just an opportunity.
It can be imagined that there are so many people at one city gate, and I am afraid that there are not a few soldiers at the other three city gates.
And now Li Shimin is waiting, because Li Shimin has just released his words, today's morning dynasty will be opened on the tower of the east city gate.
Now that the Turks have besieged Chang'an, and so many troops have come at once, I am afraid that Chang'an City is not easy to defend now.
So Li Shimin knows that what he needs to do now is to brainstorm ideas. Let's see what effective ways to deal with the current situation in Chang'an City.
