Chapter 765: The Battle of Huayin (4)
The fire on the head of the city burned for more than an hour before it slowly weakened, and it was impossible for Li Jing to keep throwing fire oil on the head of the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is just to Li Jing's surprise that the Li Shimin he expected never went out of the city to break through, and he didn't even show his face!
"General! Do you want to continue? The deputy general behind Li Jing couldn't help but ask Li Jing.
"Hmmm! Stop for now! Li Jing raised his head and glanced at the city, although the fire on the city was weakened, it had become a scorched earth, and there was no trace of a ** soldier in sight! The whole city is empty, and it looks very strange!
Taking a deep breath, Li Jing turned his head and instructed again: "Go to the other three gates and ask if you have seen any trace of Li Shimin!" ”
Li Jing didn't dare to underestimate Li Shimin, in case of a trick to attack the west, it would be troublesome. The soldiers sent out soon came back, but the answer given made Li Jing even more puzzled, there was no trace of Li Shimin at the other three city gates, so where did Li Shimin go? Isn't he going to break through?
"General, then we still can't attack the city?" The adjutant general asked Li Jing, the current situation at the west gate is really a bit weird, there is no shadow of half of the defenders on the city, but the siege party outside the city is stuck, where is it like preparing for war, more like running a house!
"Humph! Play empty city with me? Li Jing is not the kind of indecisive person, but after hesitating for a moment, he raised his head, his eyes were purple, and he snorted coldly, and directly pulled out the Ziyun Qinglu Sword on his waist, pointed at the city, and shouted: "Siege!" ”
"Report!" Just when Li Jing's words fell, a long cry came from the south, and Li Jing's heart suddenly tightened when he heard it, and he immediately turned his head to look south, but he saw that a horse was rushing over, it was the costume of the Liang army's soldiers!
I saw that the soldiers of the Liang army rode fast horses and galloped quickly, and shouted towards Li Jing from a distance: "General! Checkmate! Big things are not good! Big things are wrong! Li Shimin broke through from the south gate! General Guo asks for help! General Guo asks for help! ”
"What!" Hearing this shout, Li Jing's eyes suddenly widened, and he didn't expect that Li Shimin would choose to break through from the south gate! Immediately, Li Jing slapped his thigh and shouted: "I've been tricked!" Li Shimin is really cunning! Fast! Go to the South Gate for reinforcements now! Fast! ”
How could Li Jing not be in a hurry, he spent so much time arranging it in order to be able to capture Li Shimin! If Li Shimin is allowed to run away, won't his arrangement be in vain? Immediately, Li Jing was carrying the Ziyun Qinglu sword is wave, and he was about to lead the soldiers and horses to the south gate for reinforcements, but just when Li Jing was about to rush to the south gate, he also subconsciously glanced at the west city wall that had been burned black in the distance, and suddenly his heart jumped.
"Wait!" The soldiers who had just changed the formation and were about to go to the south gate had not yet taken a step, when they heard this cold shout, they immediately stopped their pace, and thanks to the well-trained Liang army, the formation was not chaotic.
And Li Jing, who suddenly gave the order, stared closely at the west city wall and never said a word. Seeing Li Jing like this, the deputy general next to him was anxious, and couldn't help but say to Li Jing: "General! Don't wait any longer! I'm afraid that General Guo's side won't be able to support it for too long! If it is delayed any longer, then Li Shimin will have to run away! ”
"Li Shimin!" The deputy general didn't say anything, but at the mention of Li Shimin's name, Li Jing's eyes immediately lit up, laughed, and shouted: "What a Li Shimin!" I almost fell for your plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! ”
"A plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" Hearing Li Jing's words, the deputy general next to him immediately looked at each other, and some didn't quite understand what Li Jing meant.
"Leave the South Gate alone! Li Shimin will definitely not break through from the south gate! Li Jing didn't care that those lieutenant generals didn't understand what he meant, so he just waved his hand and made an order: "Array!" Get ready for the siege! ”
"Uh, yes! Command! The lieutenants were stunned for a moment, but they would never dare to disobey Li Jing's order, so after only hesitating for a moment, they immediately shouted in unison and took the order. It didn't take long for the military formation behind Li Jing to march towards the city gate, and the catapult in the rear threw the last remaining boulder to the city, which could be regarded as a cover for the advancing military formation!
At this time, behind the West City Gate, a cavalry team of about three or four thousand people with a neat lineup was already waiting behind the city gate, and at the forefront of this cavalry team was the Tang Emperor Li Shimin!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The enemy outside the city has begun to attack the city! The ** who was ambushed at the head of the city shouted loudly below, and when he heard this shout, Li Shimin below and several ** generals who followed Li Shimin all changed their faces greatly.
Li Shimin's face didn't change much, but he couldn't stop nodding his head and said softly: "It's worthy of Li Jing!" It's amazing! It was able to see through my plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! ”
"Your Majesty!" When the generals saw Li Shimin, they were not in a hurry, but praised the enemy generals here, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and after a while, Wei Chigong, who was behind Li Shimin, immediately raised the iron lance and shouted at Li Shimin: "It's better to break through in a different direction, right?" It's still ......."
Without waiting for Wei Chigong to finish speaking, Li Shimin directly waved his hand and stopped Wei Chigong's words. Li Shimin only told a few generals about this breakthrough, but he did not hide it from Wei Chigong, because he wanted to use Wei Chigong's martial arts to help him break through. However, compared to Wu Yong, Wei Chigong's resourcefulness is not very powerful.
Li Shimin was preparing to break through this time from the defenders in the city, to put it mildly, that is, the defenders in the city were regarded as outcasts! If the defenders in the city know what Li Shimin did, I am afraid that the morale of the defenders in the city will immediately fall to the bottom! When the time comes, let alone break through, I'm afraid that the entire Huayin City will also fall immediately! Therefore, Li Shimin will never be able to break through from the other city gates, and the only one who can go is the West Gate!
"Might as well be! Open the gates directly! Breakthrough! Even at such an urgent moment, Li Shimin did not look nervous or worried, and put down the hand he had just raised very casually, and at the same time pulled out the sword on his waist, and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone! In today's battle, if you don't win, you will die! Can you fight to the death with me? ”
"If you don't win, you die! Dare to be Your Majesty first! Behind Li Shimin, in addition to Wei Chigong and other ** generals, nearly 4,000 iron horsemen shouted in unison, the voice was not loud, but it was full of firm faith!
"Good!" Hearing the shouts and cheers of the soldiers, Li Shimin's face also showed a little more confidence, nodded vigorously, looked at the city gate that had been completely opened in front of him, pointed the sword in his hand forward, and shouted: "Soldiers! Rush! ”
"Rush!" As Li Shimin took the lead in rushing out of the city gate, Wei Chigong also hurriedly followed, and more than 4,000 iron horsemen poured out of the city gate in the dense sound of horses' hooves, converging into a black torrent, and rushed out directly towards the outside of the city!
"Li Shimin really broke through from Xicheng!" Outside the city, Li Jing, who was leading the army to attack the city, also had an expression on his face, and he also pointed forward, shouting: "Kill Li Shimin!" Bounty 10,000 taels! Capture Li Shimin alive! Bow to the general! ”
There must be brave men under heavy money! Of course, Li Jing couldn't be clearer about this truth, as long as he can win Li Shimin, this reward is nothing at all!
And the soldiers of the Liang Army behind Li Jing didn't think so, they only heard the rich reward that Li Jing shouted, and suddenly their eyes were all red, and they looked at Li Shimin, who was rushing over in front of them, wearing a golden armor, which had become a moving gold mountain in their eyes! Everyone is full of fighting spirit and desire, just thinking that if they can take Li Shimin down with their own hands, then the glory and wealth will fall on their heads!
"Kill!" Li Jing's shouts also reached Li Shimin's side, but unlike the almost crazy changes of the Liang army's soldiers, Li Shimin's side became silent, except for the dense sound of horses' hooves from the galloping horses that sat down, there was only the sound of heavy breathing from people and horses.
Led by Li Shimin, more than 4,000 horsemen all lay their bodies on the back of their horses, trying to lower their bodies and speed up the speed of their mounts. The four thousand iron cavalry gradually formed a charging formation, like a sharp sword, facing the Liang army in front of them!
"Cloud high-five!" In front of the Liang army, it was naturally Li Jing who rushed to the forefront, seeing that the two armies were about to collide together, Li Jing's eyes were purple, and his one-handed luck was mentioned to his chest, and he slapped Li Shimin in front of him with one palm!
"Hugh your majesty!" There was a loud shout, but it was Wei Chigong from behind Li Shimin! Yu Chigong has always been following behind Li Shimin, seeing Li Jing making a move on Li Shimin, Yu Chigong shouted, that is, he came up with an iron lance, and the iron lance happened to be on Li Jing's palm!
Wei Chigong's ability is all on this iron lance, whether it was under Song Jingang or Li Shimin in the past, relying on this iron lance can be described as invincible! And today, Wei Chigong used an iron lance to point directly at Li Jing's fleshy palm, according to his thoughts, how can the other party's flesh and blood resist his own iron lance? was about to laugh and let out a few arrogant words, but before he could say anything, Wei Chigong's face suddenly changed, but a strange force came from the iron lance in his hand, and the iron lance was suddenly shocked and almost came out of his hand!
Looking at the other party Li Jing again, the palm full of purple clouds was unharmed, and Li Jing himself only took three steps back with people and horses. Seeing that his iron lance hadn't even broken a piece of the other party's skin, Yu Chigong couldn't believe his eyes, looked at Li Jing with wide eyes, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: What the hell is this monster!
