The Qi army never appeared, and Zhao Shuo was worried that they would give up attacking Chang'an and attack other prefectures and counties controlled by Zhao Shuo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now that the Qi army has arrived, Zhao Shuo can see the movements of the Qi army, but he is not afraid.

Chang'an City has thick walls, and there are 7,000 defenders, plus more than 2,000 small cannonballs left, for a period of time, Zhao Shuo is still sure to hold Chang'an City.

On the wall of the East Gate, after receiving the news, Zhao Shuo came here for the first time.

"Lord Wang, this time the Qi army has a large number of people, if you attack with all your strength, more than 2,000 people will defend it by the east gate, I'm afraid it will be ......" Li Zhong looked at the mighty Qi army rushing in the distance, and his face was embarrassed.

"Li Zhong, according to this king, although the Qi army has a large number, after the last fiasco, it should not attack rashly." Zhao Shuo said calmly.

"Lord Wang, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens." After seeing the power of small cannonballs, Li Zhong always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Zhao Shuo for more. Now that the army of Qi is coming, and the East Gate is bearing the brunt, Li Zhong feels that this is an opportunity.

"Small shells are hard to produce." What Li Zhong meant, Zhao Shuo had already guessed. "It's been a few more than us that we've saved up now."

Li Zhong was a little disappointed, and said dejectedly. "The last general knows, lord."

"Don't worry, I won't watch my soldiers die in vain, if there are really difficulties in the defense of the east gate, this king will find a way." Li Zhong wanted a small cannonball, but also to better defend the east gate, which Zhao Shuo still knew.

"Lord Wang, look, the Qi army has stopped." Li Zhong pointed to the Qi army in the distance and said in disbelief.

Zhao Shuo turned his head to see that the Qi army had indeed stopped advancing.

"Lord Wang, the Qi army has just arrived, and its foothold is not stable, so it is a great opportunity for us to attack." Li Zhong looked eager to try. "If you wait until all the follow-up troops of the Qi army arrive, it will be difficult to attack at that time."

Li Zhong did have some truth in what he said, but Zhao Shuo shook his head and refused.

The front troops of the Qi army are all cavalry, the number is about 3,000 people, and the follow-up infantry, on the city wall, can you already see it, dusty, wolf smoke billowing, the number of people is more than 10,000.

The main force of the defense of Chang'an City is the 5,000 soldiers brought by Li Zhong, including more than 300 cavalry, these people are very precious to Zhao Shuo, especially the more than 300 war horses, which are the treasures of the treasures.

There were more than 2,000 people defending the east gate, and even if Li Zhong took them all out and attacked 3,000 cavalry, there was not much chance of victory.

Of course, if you let the 300 cavalry with enough small cannons to pop out and throw them indiscriminately and blast away the 3,000 Qi army, it will still be no problem.

But in the entire Chang'an City, there are only more than 2,000 small cannonballs left, and Zhao Shuo doesn't want to waste these treasures.

Only when he is done in a battle, Zhao Shuo will use these things.

You must know that the soldiers sent by the Qi army are not only in front of them, but also attacking Shaanzhou all the way.

No one knows when that road will suddenly kill, if the small cannonballs are used on this road, when the road comes, Zhao Shuo can only lead the soldiers to fight to the death.

This kind of thing is not what Zhao Shuo wants to see.

"Lord Wang, if the Qi army is all here and ready to attack, we want to do it, but it will be difficult." Li Zhong thought that this was an opportunity, but he wanted to say that Zhao Shuo agreed.

"Don't worry, after the last fiasco, the Qi army will not attack rashly." Zhao Shuo said in a deep voice. "Our top priority now is to preserve our strength and hold Chang'an until the situation changes."

Li Zhong was stunned, and he couldn't understand what Zhao Shuo meant.

"Alright, just watch slowly!" Zhao Shuo smiled and said.

The Qi army continued to converge, and soon set up a position.

After the formation was set, a general walked out under the escort of the soldiers.

"Zhao Shuo, you killed my people, occupied my territory, and slaughtered my soldiers, and now the heavenly soldiers are so strong, you still don't open the city and surrender."

"This king is the king of Song, Chang'an is the land of my Great Song Dynasty, and you are Song ministers, for the sake of glory and wealth, betrayed their ancestors, defected to gold thieves, and ten disloyal and unfilial people." Zhao Shuo's voice froze. "Everyone will be punished if they are like you."

The general who came out was Wang Song, who was counted down by Zhao Shuo, his eyebrows were upside down, and he said sharply. "The Song court is unkind, the heavens are angry and the people are resentful, the people are displaced, causing the vision of heaven and earth, and the rise of Dajin is to inherit the heavens and obey the fate, and if you disobey the will of heaven, you will be punished by heaven."

"That's it!" Zhao Shuo said impatiently. "If you have the ability to attack this wall, this king will let you fall, if you don't have the ability, go back to your hometown and take it."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "The whole army is ready to meet the enemy."

This time, Wang Song was dumbfounded. He originally wanted to threaten Zhao Shuo, but now it seems that what he has done is useless.

Zhao Shuo was ready to fight, but Wang Song was not allowed to fight. As Zhao Shuo expected, Tang Kuohu led 5,000 men and horses to almost all the army, which left an indelible shadow on Wang Song. Especially Tang Kuohu's description of the small cannonballs made him feel uneasy.

After returning to the headquarters formation, Wu Lin Moshan, Pei Manzan and Liu Meng all gathered.

"General, should we attack!" Liu Meng asked.

"General, judging from the last general, let's wait first." Ulin Moss Mountain said. "Look at that Zhao Shuo, obviously ready, if we attack rashly, Tang Kuohu's experience is right in front of us."

"General, the last general thinks that the Wulintao system is reasonable, we are still besieging the city and attacking the city, and when General Sun Xing of Shaanzhou takes Shaanzhou and comes to rendezvous, it is not too late for us to attack Chang'an together." Pei Manzan said.

Wang Song pondered for a moment, and from the words of the three of them, Wulin Moshan and Pei Manzan obviously didn't want to fight, relying on Liu Meng's hard work alone, if they wanted to take Chang'an, it was absolutely impossible.

"Temporarily surround Chang'an, and all ministries send small units to constantly harass in order to maximize the consumption of Chang'an's troops."

Wang Song issued an order, and then Wulin Moss Mountain took people to the north gate, Pei Manzan took people to the south gate, and Liu Meng led people around to the west gate. Wang Song left 1,000 men and horses from each department, plus his own guards and more than 100 people under Tang Kuohu, to guard the east gate.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Shuo shook his head slightly, issued an order for the whole army to defend and not to go out to attack, and then returned to the mansion. (To be continued.) )
