Chapter 238: Sleepy Yang City

Sleepy Sun City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a city that is not too big, but it is very strong, the city is three zhang high, two zhang thick, surrounded by Surabaya on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack; The most important thing is that the people in the city are very supportive of Li Shimin, and since Li Shimin has been stationed here, they have expressed their willingness to join the army, defend the city for Li Shimin, and resist the Xiliang army outside the city.

It was precisely because of this that Li Shimin was able to hold the city of Sleepy Yang for several months without being broken by the Xiliang army.

The ancients said that the people are like water, they can carry boats and overturn boats, which can be described as the truth, if there were no people in the city, just relying on the soldiers brought by Li Shimin, it is estimated that it would have been exhausted long ago, and the city would have been broken by the Xiliang army.

There are many generals who followed Li Shimin on this expedition, including Marshal Xue Rengui, Pioneer Wei Chi Gong, Military Strategist Xu Maogong, etc., as well as some less famous young generals.

Xue Rengui was hit by the poisonous arrow of the Xiliang Army, and he is still bedridden and seriously injured, and Li Shimin is often by his side.

Inside the house, the military doctor had just checked Xue Rengui's pulse, got up and said, "Your Majesty, the marshal's injury is no longer serious, as long as he is well recuperated, he can recover." ”

"Okay, it's okay."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for the military doctor to step back first.

"Your Majesty, how is the war?" Xue Rengui, who was just a little better, frowned tightly and asked.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "The situation is very good, you don't have to worry, take care of your injuries." ”

Wei Chigong, who was standing on the side, also said: "Yes, you can take care of your injuries, and the matter of fighting will be left to us." ”

Xue Rengui said: "Don't hide it from me, I really want to know what the hell is." ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and they all sighed, the current situation is quite bad for the defenders of Sleepy Yang City, and they are really trapped in the name of Sleepy Yang City.

In the face of the nearly 200,000 Xiliang army outside the city, even if Li Shimin is strong, he is very helpless.

Li Shimin told Xue Rengui about the current situation, and said: "In short, you don't have to worry, although the situation is vicious, there is always a way to solve it, and when we ease up, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory." ”

Xue Rengui knew that these were Li Shimin's words to comfort him, and the situation was bad, and there was no need to explain.

Xue Rengui said: "It will definitely not work if it goes on like this, Your Majesty, where are the reinforcements, but are they coming?" If you don't come again, Sleepy Sun City will be really dangerous. ”

"No, I don't think so."

Before Li Shimin could speak, Xu Maogong on the side suddenly said something.

Everyone's eyes converged on him, and Li Shimin asked, "Mao Gong, what do you mean by this?" ”

Since the anti-Sui Dynasty, Xu Maogong has followed Li Shimin to fight in the east and west, no matter which battle, it fully reflects his wisdom and wisdom, and his words have their truth.

Therefore, when Xu Maogong said something inexplicably, everyone's attention fell on him, and they were quite looking forward to his next words.

Xu Maogong chuckled twice and said, "In my opinion, Xiao Wenlong doesn't want to kill us all, at least not now. ”

Xiao Wenlong is talking about Marshal Xiliang, who commanded an army of 200,000 troops outside Sleepy Yang City; Xiao Wenlong's sister is the princess of King Xiliang, so he and King Xiliang are really a family.

"Mao Gong, you mean, Xiao Wenlong has ulterior motives?"

"The emperor is wise."

Xu Mao said fairly: "Xiao Wenlong's rebellion this time is intended to march into the Central Plains, not only limited to quelling the chaos, what he wants to do is to reduce our troops as much as possible, so as to lay the foundation for the future attack on Chang'an, and to do this, he must make full use of the current situation.... ”

"I see."

Li Shimin suddenly realized, and chuckled: "It is worthy of Xu Maogong, Xiao Wenlong's strategy was actually seen through by you at a glance; If my guess is correct, Xiao Wenlong wants to surround us and send reinforcements, surround us, and use us as bait to eliminate the soldiers who came to the rescue; Xiao Wenlong knew that as long as I, the emperor, did not die for a day, countless armies would rush here, and after he wiped out those armies, it would be much easier for him to march into the Central Plains. ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Wei Chigong nodded, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I said why Xiao Wenlong is so stupid, he can't beat for a few months, hehe..." ”

"Oh, if that's going to be a bit of a problem."

Wei Chigong crossed his waist, shook his head and said: "Lu Guogong went back to Chang'an to move the rescue troops, and the time should come, if he meets Xiao Wenlong, he doesn't know if he can beat it, if he can't beat it, then..." ”

"Stinky old man, do you have any way to resolve it?"

Xu Mao said fairly: "There is no way to resolve it, the trapped Yang City is surrounded like an iron bucket, even a mosquito can't fly out, and it is difficult to send a letter; It's up to them; Lu Guogong has experienced a hundred battles, and I believe that he will be able to successfully complete the task. ”

Wei Chigong rolled his eyes, and said that he didn't say anything.

Everyone, you say what I say, Xue Rengui, who was lying on the bed, was even more worried, originally he only thought about Xiao Wenlong outside the city, thinking about how to drag Cheng Yanjin to rescue the soldiers, but now it seems that things are not so simple, and the reality is more dangerous than imagined.

"Report..."

At this time, a soldier ran in from outside the house, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Wenlong is calling for battle again." ”

Hearing this, Wei Chigong snorted coldly: "It's good to come, I'll meet him again." ”

"General Wei Chi, don't be impatient."

Xu Maogong dragged Wei Chigong back.

Li Shimin got up and said: "It's okay to go and have a look, he hasn't brought troops here for half a month, he must be prepared for this time, why don't you go and have a look." ”

After appeasing Xue Rengui, Li Shimin walked outside the house.

Xu Maogong and Wei Chigong followed closely, and the three of them took a small team of personal soldiers and walked straight in the direction of the city gate.

After a while, the three of them came to the city wall, only to see a large number of soldiers gathered in the city, as well as very tall siege equipment, even general cannons, ladders, flying bridges, etc.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin was also surprised: "It seems that this is not just a battle, so many siege equipment, could it be that Xiao Wenlong is going to fight a decisive battle?" ”

Xu Maogong also frowned, Xiao Wenlong's move, even he didn't know much, so he didn't want to lead the rescue army?

Da Da...

On the wide grass under the city, a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face flew on a flying horse, carrying a long knife in his hand and a longbow on his back, with a haughty posture, as if he did not take anyone seriously.

"Is it Xiao Wenlong?"

"It's him..."

........

Every time there is a big fight, Xiao Wenlong is on the field in person, and he has never been defeated, no one knows how high his martial arts are, Wei Chigong has played against him, but it is only a dozen moves, and some of them can't parry, so they can only retreat immediately.

Of course, Wei Chigong was not afraid, Xiao Wenlong actively responded to every challenge to him, not afraid of life and death, and vowed to kill the other party.

Seeing Xiao Wenlong coming quickly, Li Shimin's mind ached, Xiao Wenlong's martial arts are strong, and he is definitely an opponent, even Xue Rengui is not an opponent, he really can't think of anyone else in Datang who can fight.

After Xiao Wenlong came to the city and stood still, he laughed out loud and said loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, what are the masters, hurry up and send them out, let me understand and understand, the big Tang Dynasty, is there no one?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Yu Chi Gong was angry and shouted: "Xiao Wenlong, Hugh is so good, let you taste Grandpa Yu Chi's iron whip again!" ”

As he spoke, Wei Chigong was about to prepare to go downstairs.
