Chapter 038: Reinforcements Arrive

Li Xuanba was an orphan in his previous life, with a withdrawn and perverse personality, and he rarely had close friends, let alone people who were willing to die for him.

And now, with thousands of soldiers willing to die for him, how can he continue to remain indifferent? Among those people, there are many Li Xuanba who can't be called famous at all, and they don't even remember their appearance, they are such a group of people, facing the well-equipped Tang Dynasty soldiers, they rushed over without fear.

The city is about to be breached, Xu Shiji still hasn't appeared, Li Xuanba has no hope of survival, he knows that Li Xiaogong will not let him reach Chang'an alive, so even if he surrenders, he will not escape death.

Now, he has no choice but to kill!

The long knife in his hand rolled up, Li Xuanba didn't remember how many weapons he had changed, he stabbed the long knife into the abdomen of a Tang soldier, and he didn't pull it out, picked up a spear from the ground at random, and knocked the Tang soldiers behind him who were about to sneak attack him away, and fell outside the city without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

If time can be repeated, Li Xiaogong will definitely mobilize enough troops to attack the city, 20,000 troops have fought so far, and nearly 5,000 have suffered casualties, even if Li Xuanba is successfully killed in the end, his position as the head of the march will not be saved.

However, Li Xiaogong had no other choice, he had only one thought in his heart, that is, he must take off Li Xuanba's head, only in this way can he have a chance to turn over in the future.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the tragic scene that could not be seen in the dark night looked so shocking in the sun.

The strength on Li Xuanba's body was almost drained, his hands trembled very much, and the tiger's mouth was also shaken. He looked at the steady stream of Tang Army soldiers and knew that he would not escape death today. He couldn't help but think of Yang Ling and Shizuka, who were in Jiangdu, and secretly said that fortunately they hadn't married them yet, otherwise they would have to be widowed at a young age, which was too cruel for them.

He thought of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others. Guess if they will still serve Nan Sui after their deaths.

The distance outside the city was so dusty that I couldn't see the banner clearly, and I couldn't tell whose soldiers and horses it was.

"Soldiers, reinforcements have arrived!" Li Xuanba casually slashed over a Tang soldier in front of him and roared. The voice was hoarse.

Li Xuanba originally just wanted to arouse the morale of the soldiers, but he didn't expect that it was really reinforcements that came.

The army in the distance is getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the big words "Li" and "Zhang" on the banner make Li Xuanba feel very cordial.

Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing each led a thousand cavalry to rush over, they couldn't help but say, they killed people when they saw them, Du Ruhui was horrified, and hurriedly ordered people to cross the trench and hide behind the horses. He looked at the untold army behind the cavalry. He looked back at Li Xiaogong, who was still fighting in the city, sighed, and ordered someone to block the reinforcements in front, while he quietly went around to the rear with his personal entourage.

It was difficult for the cavalry to cross the trench, and Yuwen Chengdu ordered everyone to dismount, intending to forcibly break up the formation of the Tang army.

In fact, the best thing to do at this time was to wait for the infantry in the rear, but Li Xuanba had already turned into a bloody man. If they delay any longer, it is very likely that they will collect Li Xuanba's body.

The number of Tang troops who remained under the city was not large. Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing fought their way out and went straight to Guanxian, and soon after, Li Jing and Zhang Xutuo led an army of 30,000 to arrive.

The strength of the defenders was basically exhausted, and they only fought with perseverance, suffering heavy casualties. Although the Tang army relied on its large number and occupied a great advantage, it was also exhausted, and when they saw the dense Southern Sui soldiers under the city and the bows and crossbows in their hands, they no longer dared to move. Look ashen.

Li Xiaogong knew that he was finished, he glanced at the hundreds of horses who fled with resentment, took a sip, and continued to kill Li Xuanba. At this time, there were only more than 300 people who were willing to continue to follow him

With Li Xiaogong being captured alive, tens of thousands of Tang troops surrendered, and the fight finally ended. Yuwen Chengdu and the others helped the exhausted Li Xuanba and others back to the camp in the city.

Li Xiaogong was tied up and escorted to the tent, he looked at Li Xuanba arrogantly and refused to kneel.

"Cousin." Li Xuanba's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said weakly: "Why are you doing this? ”

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" Li Xiaogong snorted coldly: "No matter what you want to know, there will be only one sentence, no comment!" ”

"Do you think you'll be able to leave alive now?" Li Xuanba raised his head with great difficulty, looked at Li Xiaogong coldly, and mocked: "If you want to die happily, it's best to answer me honestly, otherwise, even if you are my cousin, I will let you have no successor!" I heard that you have several sons and daughters, and it doesn't matter if you die, but don't you feel sorry for them when you think about your son's head being in a different place and your daughter becoming an official prostitute? ”

"You want to threaten me?" Li Xiaogong laughed out loud and said, "This time you escaped the catastrophe, do you think you will have such luck next time?" ”

"I didn't think so." Li Xuanba shook his head and said calmly: "After this incident, Xuanba has learned many things, one of which is that there will never be a next time for this kind of thing!" ”

"The world is unpredictable." Li Xiaogong said coldly: "If Fang Cai had given me an extra stick of incense, you wouldn't have had a chance to sit in front of me now." ”

"That's a pity, you tried your best to take Xuanba's life, but Xuanba still sits here decently, and you can only kneel!" Li Xuanba's tone became indifferent, and he turned to Yuwen Chengdu and said: "Brother Chengdu, since he refuses to kneel, please find a way to make him aware of his situation, Xuanba has a suggestion, try to break his two legs first." ”

"How dare you do this to me?" Li Xiaogong's pupils shrank and roared angrily.

"This is the second thing I've learned, when it's time to be cruel, don't be kind to women." Li Xuanba narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "This is all thanks to you, cousin!" The last cousin, Li Xuanba shouted out through gritted teeth.

Yuwen Chengdu saw that Li Xuanba had become so indifferent, sighed in his heart, walked behind Li Xiaogong, took the spear from a soldier's hand, and smashed it hard, Li Xiaogong screamed, his legs could no longer be supported, and he knelt down involuntarily.

"Say, who did Li Shimin send to give you advice?" Li Xuanba did not feel pity for Li Xiaogong's scream, and returned to an indifferent look on his face: "People have more than two hundred bones, if you don't want to taste the bones on your body and break them one by one, I advise you to be obedient." ”

Li Xiaogong's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he looked at Li Xuanba coldly without saying a word.

"Yo, I didn't expect my cousin to have a prominent background, but he doesn't have the bad habit of pampering." Li Xuanba sighed in admiration and raised his eyebrows: "Cut off his fingers one by one!" ”

"Childe, don't ask, it's Du Ruhui!" Before Yuwen Chengdu could be executed, a voice sounded outside the tent. (To be continued.) )
