Chapter 1938: Breaking the City in One Day
"It's a good idea to bring the king of Fang Jun" When Li Daozong heard this, he smiled happily and said: "It is really fair and reasonable for those who have more merit to get the treasure armor." With-Dream- . lā”
Then, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, you can leave this errand to me to break through Liaodong City." Within three days, Wechen will definitely be able to take the city. ”
"Hey, hey, my Jiangxia King, you really have the face to say."
Zhang Shigui, the Duke of the Kingdom of Qiu, is the commander of the Xuanjia Army and has won the trust of His Majesty Li Er. Although his official position was slightly lower, he dared to argue with Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia.
He pursed his lips and said, "More than a month ago, you declared that you wanted to break the city in half a month. As a result, up to now, Liaodong City is still safe and sound, and now what are you saying about breaking the city in three days, I am panicking for you."
Li Daozong said: "The reason why I broke my promise was because the Goguryeo army was surrounded on all sides, and our Tang army could not attack the city with all its strength, which is understandable." ”
"It's forgivable, you really said this, although my surname is Zhang, I don't read much, but I also know that a manly man, spitting, it has to be a nail, let alone something that falls on black and white."
"You mean the military order"
"Not bad, not bad. It's rare that King Jiangxia still remembers that there was such a thing as a military warrant. Let me ask you, which sentence in this military order says that if there are ambushes in Goguryeo, your half-moon covenant to break the city will not be counted."
"This"
"No words. King Jiangxia, if I were you, as soon as the army broke the siege, I would be so ashamed that I wiped my neck and committed suicide. It's still going to be today."
"You"
"What's wrong with me, am I not right, I understand, you are always greedy for life and afraid of death, and you don't want to kill yourself. It doesn't matter, it's human nature to live and die badly, even ants still steal life, let alone a big living person, but"
"How"
And again. If you are afraid of death, find a corner to endure it, so that everyone can see it out of sight. Colleagues, can everyone still force you to death, but you jump out shamelessly, when there is no such thing as a military order, it is too much to explain. ”
Zhang Shigui's mouth was really damaged, and it made Li Daozong's face blue and white for a while.
He took a deep breath and said, "Whether that military order should be executed or not, you don't count what you say, it doesn't count if I say it, let's ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment."
"Oh, I can't say it, I think of it to find Your Majesty's support" Zhang Shigui said with a sneering face: "Even if Your Majesty is embarrassed and helps you say a few words, then how can you stop the leisurely mouth of the people of the world?"
He swallowed his saliva and continued: "It doesn't matter if you break the city in half a month, or break the city in three days. It's nothing more than fighting against the Xuanjia Army. But I, Zhang Shigui, am the official commander of the Xuanjia Army, why didn't Your Majesty send me to break the city, I have to use you."
"Hmph, say a thousand things and ten thousand, you haven't taken a fancy to my armor yet"
"What's the matter, King Jiangxia, others are afraid of you, but I, Zhang Shigui, am not afraid of you. This errand to break Liaodong City, I have decided with you. ”
Li Daozong sneered: "Okay, fight for it." I'll ask you, it's the same as using the Xuanjia Army to break the city, how many days are you going to use it"
"You use it for three days, and I use it for three days."
"What if I say two days?"
"Two days and two days" Zhang Shigui gritted his teeth and said: "Two days is two days, I will fight with you"
"Fight hehe, I'm afraid you can't fight" Li Daozong said: "Liaodong City is well defended, and there are 100,000 male soldiers in it. Although morale may be a little low right now. But if you want to break the city in two days, hehe, it's not that I look down on you, you really can't do it"
"I can't. Then you can do it to talk about the use of soldiers, King Jiangxia, you may not be above me Zhang Shigui. ”
"Don't be unconvinced." Li Daozong said: "Let me tell you clearly, two days is still my humble saying that if I work harder, I will be able to break Liaodong City in one day." ”
When Zhang Shigui heard this, he didn't bother to refute it, rolled his eyes, and said, "Boasting about flying in the sky"
"Why don't you believe it?"
"What do you say?"
"Don't believe it. is to break the city in one day, and I, Li Daozong, dare to make a military order"
His Majesty Li Er couldn't let Li Daozong talk so nonsense, and said: "King Jiangxia, be cautious about the previous military order, it is a special situation, and I can tolerate it." But this time, we'll have to do what to write on it. You don't want to have a head."
"It's okay, it's okay, although Your Majesty ordered someone to bring paper and pencils, isn't it just a day to break the city, and I have set up this military order. If Liaodong City can't be broken in one day, a certain person is willing to come to see His Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "Breaking the city in one day is simply nonsense. King Jiangxia, don't joke with your life. ”
"Xiao Wang is serious."
"It's not okay to be serious, I can't watch my henchmen die in vain."
"Thank you for your love. But have you ever thought about it, I, Li Daozong, am an arrogant person, when have you ever seen me fight an uncertain battle?"
"This"
"Actually, it was a certain family that prepared a good thing for Liaodong City. With this thing in hand, breaking Liaodong City is just a matter of night."
"What a good thing"
"Building car."
"What kind of good thing is the building car" His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "We attacked Liaodong City before, and we haven't used the building car. It's not for nothing. ”
Li Daozong said: "Weichen's building car is different from ordinary building cars. Not only was it capable of shooting arrows, but it also had a ladder that could transport the soldiers to the city walls. ”
"Then how can you send the sergeant to the city, how tall and big this building car is, and I am not blind, if there is such a big building car in the army, how can I not see it"
"Because Wechen not only installed a ladder on the building car, but also made a small change."
"What's changed"
"All the parts were broken down into pieces and shipped separately. In an hour, it can be rebuilt. ”
"And this matter" His Majesty Li Er's face changed slightly, and said: "King Jiangxia really has a heart, no wonder I don't know anything about your building car." ”
"Your Majesty, the reason why Wei Chen painstakingly studied the method of turning the building car into pieces is not to deceive you, but to conquer Liaodong City in one fell swoop."
"What do you say?"
Li Daozong talked about it and said: "When Emperor Yang of Sui attacked Liaodong City for the second time, he mainly used two siege weapons. One is the fish beam road made of earth bags, and the other is the eight-wheeled building car. ”
"With the Yuliang Dao army, it is easy to storm the city wall, and with the bow and arrow of the eight-wheeled building chariot, you can suppress the enemy army on the city tower. It is said that under these two siege weapons, Liaodong City will not last for a few days. ”
But the Goguryeo guards were clever enough to divide the walls into numerous small sections with wooden fences and sandbags. Even if the Sui army attacked the city wall, it would be difficult to expand the results. In the end, it fell short. ”
Wechen learned this lesson and secretly ordered someone to develop this kind of building car. In fact, it is a combination of Yuliang Road and traditional building cars. ”
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "I understand, your whole is broken into zero." It was for the sake of a surprise attack, so that the Goguryeo people would not find out in advance that we had such a siege weapon, and be prepared. ”
"It was Wechen who prepared thirty eight-wheeled building cars, each of which could hold twenty armor soldiers. In other words, six hundred Xuanjia troops could be sent to the city wall at one time. When the time comes, the city will be broken in one go. ”
After Zhang Shigui heard this, his face was extremely ugly, he arched his hand, and said, "King Jiangxia, I didn't expect you to spend so much thought in order to break through Liaodong City. I'm old Zhang, I won't fight with you hehe, one day to break Liaodong City, you will go down in history and myself"
"How"
"I'm afraid that he will be regarded as a villain who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and will be recorded in the history books."
Li Daozong was triumphant and said: "Qingshi or something, this king didn't think about it so long-term. As long as I can relieve His Majesty's worries, I will be satisfied. ”
Zhang Shigui bowed and said, "Eh, King Jiangxia, there is a small request for the humble position, I don't know if you can agree."
"Tell me about it."
"When the city is besieged, can you let the lowly lead the troops to the city. In that case, the reputation of lowly office in the history books will be better. ”
Li Daozong frowned and said, "It's not that I don't give you this face." But you are the Duke of my Tang Dynasty, and at this age, you still risk arrows and stones to seize the city, which is not very proper. ”
"I hope that the king of Jiangxia will be fulfilled"
"I can't be the master of this, or let's ask His Majesty Li Er"
Whether it is Li Daozong or Zhang Shigui, they are both experts in using soldiers. They all think that with this kind of building car, they can break the city in one day, and this thing is basically done.
His Majesty Li Er said: "Since the Duke of Yu strongly requests, I will grant his request." Tonight, let's set up the building car in secret. As soon as the sky dawns tomorrow, the king of Jiangxia will command the Xuanjia army to enter the city. As for me, I want to cheer on all the soldiers who participated in the battle. ”
Fu Yuzhang knelt on the ground and said, "Then can you give Xiao Wang a chance to help King Jiangxia with Your Majesty." It's also good to let Xiao Wang see the majesty of the Tang Tiger. ”
"Of course you can. Not only you, but also the Cave Brother and Prince Suzhi can watch the battle with me. Let's see how my Tang soldiers use 600 strong men to break Liaodong City in one day"
