Shi Ai was broken, Leping was broken, Yuxian was broken, and Heshun was broken!

Shanxi Taihang is on the front line, and it is in an emergency. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the line of the towering Taihang Mountain, from Bailu Mountain in the north to Jiujing Mountain in the south, all of them have fallen under the control of the Western Liang Army.

The Xiliang army was as fast as the wind, like a bamboo, and released all the passion after passing the obstacle of Taihang Mountain, and advanced all the way, along the way the county, like the wind blowing grass, and lost one after another.

The letters sent to Guanzhong asking for help were like snowflakes.

Yuci's guard Wei Yijie had already learned about the Western Liang army's exit from Jingcheng when Xiao Buyi's soldiers were in Shouyang, and in order to be safe, he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he sent a letter for help. He sent letters to three places, one was to explain the critical situation to Guanzhong, and asked Li Yuan to make a decision, by the way, he was brave and loyal, and he would not live up to the trust of the saint. The other letter was sent to Taiyuan City, asking the guards there Li Zhongwen and Yu Wenxin to wait for the opportunity to support. Yuci, Taiyuan horn momentum, look at each other from afar, if the next Yuci, Taiyuan lonely city is in danger.

At the beginning, Liu Wuzhou went down to Yuci, broke Pingyao, and blocked the reinforcements from Hedong, which made Li Yuanji abandon the city and flee. Of course, Li Yuan will not repeat the mistakes of the past, Li Yuanji has long lived in Chang'an, safe and sound, and will not flee again, and the surrounding areas of Taiyuan are defended by generals who can fight well, but even so, no one knows whether they can resist Xiao Buyi's strong attack. Wuguan was broken, Yaoguan was broken, Guanzhong already knew that the Western Liang Army had strengthened a new siege weapon on the basis of the crossbow, that is, the crossbow! When Xiao Buyi attacked the anti-kings and bandits of Zhulu, he never used this kind of weapon, and he did not use a crossbow until he used a crossbow against Dou Jiande and a crossbow car when he used a crossbow car when he was against Li Yuan. Although Li Tang knew about this new type of weapon, it would take a long time to develop and manufacture it, but Xiao Buyi was obviously not ready to give them time. Therefore, the guards of the cities around Taiyuan were worried about the ballista and did not know how to resist.

As for the third letter sent by Wei Yijie, it was sent to the two generals Lu Shaozong and Guo Ziwu in Hedong. Hedong was the gateway to Guanzhong, and Li Yuan ordered the two men to lead elite troops to guard Hedong, not only to monitor the movements on the south bank of the Yellow River, but also to wait for opportunities to support Taiyuan in the north and Shangdang in the northeast. Now that the soldiers of the Western Liang Army have stabbed Yuci, it is reasonable for Wei Yijie to ask for reinforcements in this letter.

When the three letters were sent, Wei Yijie had ordered the soldiers and people to go out of the city to harvest the spring wheat, and he wanted to harvest the half-ripe wheat before the Western Liang army came to Yuci. The Western Liang army chose a good time to send troops, apparently to grab the spring wheat for military use. According to the news from the east, wherever the Western Liang army went, it was like a plague of locusts, and there were no grains of grain left. Wei Yijie didn't know how long he would have to support it, so he had to grab the grain and come back for backup.

After all the letters and orders were issued, Wei Yijie rubbed his temples, and was just about to take a nap when a soldier arrived in a hurry and said, "General Wei, the big thing is not good, Shouyang is defeated!" ”

Wei Yijie jumped up and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Shouyang was keen!" The soldier said clearly.

"How is that possible?" Wei Yijie lost his voice. He only heard the news that the Western Liang Army had hit Shouyang yesterday evening, why did he hear the news that Shouyang had been captured today, could it be that the Western Liang Army broke Shouyang and only used one night's effort? Isn't this a ghost?

"Who's coming from the news?" Wei Yijie asked.

"Shouyang's partial general Li Daliang is in front of the house!"

"Quick!"

When Li Daliang came to Wei Yijie, he was embarrassed, his helmet fell somewhere, his hair was scattered, and the dust on his body was stained with blood, black and purple. Seeing Wei Yijie, he knelt down on one knee and said: "General Wei, close the city gate quickly, I'm afraid that the Western Liang army will be killed soon." The speed with which they marched was appalling. ”

Although Wei Yijie did not like it in his heart, he knew that Shi Ai and Shouyang were broken in three days, and the marching style of the Western Liang army could be seen, so he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to gather the soldiers and people who harvested spring wheat to turn back.

Food is important, but after harvesting and preparing for the Western Liang army, wouldn't you vomit blood in depression?

When the order was handed down, Wei Yijie breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "There are as many as 5,000 defenders in Shouyang, how could Zuo Nandang lose so quickly?" ”

"General Zuo was killed by Xiao Buyi's demon magic." Li Daliang said.

Wei Yijie also wanted to hear the details, in order to defend the city, where did he think that he would get such an answer. Angrily slapped the case and said: "A bunch of nonsense, what kind of demon and fairy law, do you have eyes in your asshole?" ”

"It's not a demon law, maybe it's an immortal law." Li Daliang muttered, and when he saw Wei Yijie's murderous face, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "General Wei, it's not me who lies to disturb the army's heart, I was not in the city at the time, everything was said by the city soldiers." They said that General Zuo was talking to Xiao Buyi, and Xiao Buyi persuaded General Zuo to surrender, but General Zuo insisted on refusing to ......"

Wei Yijie sighed: "General Zuo understands the righteousness and wins my heart. But why did he die when he was at the head of the city? ”

Li Daliang hesitated and said: "Listening to the city soldiers, General Zuo insisted on not surrendering, our army applauded, Xiao Buyi was annoyed and ashamed, and suddenly flicked his sleeves, and a light came out of his sleeves, which was covering General Zuo, General Zuo screamed, turned over and died. The soldiers at the head of the city were in turmoil, and it was only then that Xiao Buyi conquered the city. You said...... Isn't this a demon law? ”

Li Daliang and Wei Yijie did not know the situation in the city at that time, and what they heard was nothing more than false rumors. In fact, to put it bluntly, Xiao Buyi followed the method of fighting the enemy Kristag, and when the head was westward, he asked the soldiers around him to use the bronze mirror to shake Zuo Nandang's eyes with the light, and then shot him with an arrow.

Xiao Buyi studied the Yijin Sutra diligently, coupled with his extremely special physique, although his kung fu is not more than a thousand miles, it is far faster than the progress of others. At the beginning, he opened the six-stone strong bow, which shocked the Eastern Capital, and now he has been able to open the nine-stone strong bow, which is not much better than Zhang Xutuo's divine bow back then. He bowed the full moon, the arrow went to the meteor, although the city head was high, but it was difficult to stop Xiao Buyi's arrow, and he was shot dead at the head of the city, and Xiao Buyi took the opportunity to attack the city.

These things are also simple to say, but when they are chaotic, they have shocked many people who don't know the truth, Wei Yijie only heard a few words now, how can he guess the original situation?

Without waiting to ask again, a soldier hurriedly reported: "General Qiyu, the big thing is not good, the game envoy just came to report, thirty miles east of the city, I found the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" ”

"Bastard, why do you report it now?" Wei Yijie shouted.

The soldier hurriedly said: "It's not that we only report now, it's that their cavalry is too fast, and our outpost doesn't have time to turn around." By now, I'm afraid I'm almost in the city! The soldier's face was like dirt, he was afraid that Wei Yijie would be angry, so he picked up the light military intelligence and said. It turned out that when the rangers arrived at the city, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was not far from Yuci.

Wei Yijie Huo Ran stood up, kicked over the soldiers, didn't care about being angry anymore, he had already rushed out of the house, rushed out of the city gate, and almost flew up to the city, looking down, it was like a blow to the head.

The city gate guard is called Tian Hua, but he still knows the opportunity, and when he knew that the opponent's iron cavalry was about to rush, he closed the city gate as soon as possible and pulled up the drawbridge.

There is a mountain range called Yellow Snake Ridge in the south of Yuci, after bypassing the Yellow Snake Ridge, Taiyuan City has been in sight. There is a water passing through between the Yellow Snake Ridge, called the cave vortex water, the Yuci diversion hole vortex water is poured into the moat, the suspension bridge is together, the river is several zhang wide, the big water inside is quite deep, ordinary people are sad.

But the drawbridge was pulled up, but the people, officers and soldiers sent by Wei Yijie to collect grain were stopped outside the city.

Wei Yijie was only afraid that Xiao Buyi would grab grain, so he sent soldiers to take the people to collect grain early, and some of these people knew that the enemy was coming, and they desperately turned back, just because the family was in the city. When he thought that he would be turned away, he couldn't help crying and screaming, begging the city soldiers to lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and let them enter the city.

But the dust and smoke rose in the distance, and the enemy soldiers were near, Tian Hua hardened his heart and ignored it.

The Xiliang iron cavalry arrived immediately, like the wind galloping, the tiger entered the flock, more than 1,000 cavalry stepped on the horse, and the Yuci soldiers and civilians outside the city had been chaotic. Some jumped straight down the river and swam to the other side of the city, and some ran into the wilderness, but how could they outrun the four legs of the horses?

Xiliang Iron Cavalry was a burst of arrows, and the soldiers and civilians shot were innumerable, ruthless.

The Tang army at the head of the city saw that the Xiliang iron cavalry was unscrupulous, and they were all angry, and at this time Wei Yijie climbed to the head of the city, and he couldn't help but feel like a knife. Yang Mao, a city general, saw that there were only more than 1,000 cavalry raging under the city, but nearly 10,000 soldiers in the city did not dare to go out of the city, so he ordered: "General Wei, although the Western Liang army is fierce, but the army must be far away, and there are only more than 1,000 iron cavalry at the moment. ”

Wei Yijie shouted coldly: "Defending the city is great. ”

Yang Maojin said angrily: "These soldiers and civilians are all ......"

"Don't say much. Tian Hua did the right thing, if they were allowed to rush in, I am afraid that there would be more casualties. Wei Yijie said coldly: "Tian Hua, the fast soldiers are ready to defend the city, and the trebuchet is already in place?" ”

Tian Hua said: "The city has been prepared on all sides, forgive them for inserting their wings, and it will be difficult to break through Yuci." Tian Hua looked quite sure, but Wei Yijie was at a loss. Li Daliang saw the methods of the Western Liang Army, and said on the side: "Don't be careless......" Seeing everyone looking at him, there was some disdain in their eyes. He lowered his head and muttered, "Don't be careless." ”

Li Daliang is a deserter in the eyes of everyone, and his words naturally carry a lot less weight. Wei Yijie was calm on the surface, anxious, at this time the ironclad cavalry had killed the soldiers and civilians outside the city, seeing that there were no troops in the city, knowing that the plan to lure the enemy failed, he rode his horse to two wings and stopped a few arrows away from the city. Without waiting for everyone to relax, they heard Tian Hua shouting, "Look. In fact, there is no need for him to say, everyone has seen the black dust rushing into the sky, and then a black line gushes out from the end of the front.

The black line rose like a tide, like a cloud, from far and near, rolling and coming.

Immediately after the cold wind hit, the footsteps were rattling, and the Xiliang infantry had already marched forward in a large phalanx, heading straight for Yuci, with a compelling momentum.

The footsteps are neat and consistent, the ground shakes the mountain, the city trembles, the banner hunts, the wind wakes, and after a while, you can see rows and columns of soldiers pouring into the sight, approaching the city, the momentum is magnificent, and the fighting spirit is strong.

With a 'bang', the shield soldiers were already in place, the shield poked the ground, and an iron wall was instantly listed on the flat ground in front of the city, and the place of strict condensation made the city soldiers tremble.

With the sound of 'Huo', the spearman's spear stabbed the air diagonally, just behind the shield, and there was a little bit of light. The spear was like a forest, the spear was like the wind, and the cold air swept over Yuci, making Tang Jun shiver.

With a 'bang' sound, the archers scattered to the wings, holding the bow in their hands, and the feathered arrows were out, and the arrows were on the strings, hidden but not released.

Immediately after that, there were a lot of siege equipment, sent from afar. The cavalry pressed into formation, and the wings were scattered.

Tang Jun saw that the opponent's soldiers were strong and well-prepared, and he couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat. Yang Maojin still complained that Wei Yijie was unreasonable, but only now is he grateful to Wei Yijie for saving his life. If Fang Cai goes out of the city to fight, not to mention whether he can defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, as long as he is trapped, this soldier will surround him, and his ten lives will also be given away.

Wei Yijie's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "The time has come for everyone to be loyal to the country." He was originally inspiring, but when everyone heard it, they all had an ominous meaning. Wei Yijie also felt that it was inappropriate, and added: "Although there are many of them, if we talk about attacking the city, we still occupy the advantage. Besides, my letter asking for help has been sent, as long as I hold on for a few days, there will be reinforcements in Taiyuan and Hedong to save me! ”

After only hearing the sound of war drums, everything was quiet, the army scattered like a tide, and Xiao Buyi came out of the crowd. Others ride white horses, golden helmets and golden armor, and the sun shines, which is quite dazzling.

This **, a burst of appearances, although not attacked, can be full of momentum. Li Tangjun always thought that the Tang Army was highly disciplined and famous all over the world, but now he said that the Western Liang Army had a neat lineup and was rigorous in killing, which was better than that of the Tang Army, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

Seeing Xiao Buyi coming out of the battle, Li Daliang said: "General Wei, if he talks to you for a while, don't show your head, just in case he ...... He casts hexology. ”

Everyone laughed, and Wei Yijie sneered: "I really want to see what demon magic he has!" ”

Xiao Buyi rode forward, looked at the city for a long time, and only said two words, "Siege the city!" When he had finished speaking, he retreated into the formation. The golden drum in the Western Liang army is a masterpiece!

Looking at it from the top of the city, I only saw the big array under the city, and there were tens of millions of changes.

Wei Yijie originally prepared the draft, thinking that he would scold Xiao Buyi when he persuaded him to surrender, in order to boost the army's heart, but he didn't even have the qualifications to be persuaded to surrender.

Xiao Buyi actually gave up the idea of persuasion when he saw that the city was waiting for him. Since the city guards can see the soldiers and civilians under the city being slaughtered and insist on not leaving the city, they are already determined to fight to the death.

With the sound of the Western Liang military drums, the defenders of the city head are ready to fight.

Suddenly, Tang Jun's eyes were surprised, and Tian Hua said in a trembling voice: "Look! The people looked down with his fingers, and saw that the water of the moat was flowing backwards, and it was much shallower, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and only called a ghost.

Xiao Buyi knew that before the arrival of the Xiliang cavalry, hundreds of Xiliang troops had arrived in Yuci overnight, digging ditches to divert water according to the terrain, and when the cavalry arrived, the cave vortex water was diverted.

The moat water is replenished from the Dongwa water, and the source is broken, and the natural water is shallow, which is convenient for crossing the river.

Of course, this move is a small trick, but the shock caused to some Tang troops is self-evident.

The drums sounded in the sky, and the Western Liang army was not in a hurry to cross the river, and the army array flashed a passage. Twenty carts were pushed out from the military formation, three hundred paces away from Yuci City, and stood side by side. The car was covered with a black cloth, and there was a towering object under the black cloth.

The soldier Huo Ran untied the black cloth, revealing a huge crossbow on the car, and the giant crossbow was loaded with seven crossbow arrows, the arrows were as long as spears, and the arrows were like giant axes of the mountains. Standing entrenched, like a monster baring its teeth, the murderous aura is revealed.

Wei Yijie's heart sank, and he secretly shouted, Ballista! Ballista!!

The Western Liang army attacked the city, Wei Yijie was not afraid, after all, the defense of the city had a great advantage, even if the Western Liang army broke the city, he would have to make the Western Liang army pay a great price, but as soon as the ballista came out, who would compete?

The use of a ballista is not invincible, although the power of the ballista is strong, after all, it is troublesome, and after one shot, it is difficult to strike again. Therefore, the ballista is used when the opponent is clinging to the city and does not dare to send troops to fight each other.

At the beginning, Li Jing broke through the Wuguan Pass and attacked the pass in a hurry, but the frightened opponent did not dare to send troops, so he used a ballista.

Xiao Buyi's soldiers approached the city, and originally wanted to use the strategy of luring the enemy to lure the opponent out of the city to fight, take the opportunity to cut off his back road, and then take the opportunity to attack the city. Although this move is simple, it can be extremely effective, but since the opponent does not go out of the city, he will press on the army, forcing the opponent to have no chance to get out of the city!

Wei Yijie's face turned pale, and he looked coldly at the emotionless ballista. The ballista stood up, like a cold look at the officers and soldiers on the city's head whose hearts were beating wildly.

When the sky shines, the spring breeze is warm, but the city head is immediately condensed with cold war spirit.

At a distance of three hundred paces, Tang Jun could see it, but there was nothing he could do.

The catapult in the city can only throw stones of more than 200 steps at the farthest distance, and Xiao Buyi's choice of this distance is to pinch the opponent's death hole.

When the flag falls, the sky and the earth are darkened!

The wind no longer blows, the water no longer flows, and even the hunting banner freezes at that moment when the ballista is firing furious. Twenty ballistas, one cart of seven crossbow arrows burst out, and more than a hundred crossbow arrows were nailed to the city walls and city gates almost at the same time.

'Boom' a shocking sound, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, thunder on a rainy night, dust high, the city wall trembled, and when the smoke and dust dissipated, the city wall has been full of holes, but the city gate has been torn apart!

When the Xiliang army saw it, he raised his spear, stabbed it into the air, and shouted: "Victory!" ”

The Tang soldiers were at the head of the city, and they only felt that their feet were swaying and their faces were pale. Wei Yijie was the first to react and shouted, "Guard the city gate." ”

When the city gate was broken, it was like a sergeant wearing a helmet and armor, but his belly was bare. As soon as the city gate was broken, Yuci City already had a loophole.

"Trebuchet, trebuchet." Wei Yijie ordered the city soldiers to do their best to repair the city gates, and even block the city gates, and at the same time to fight back with trebuchets. The trebuchet arrived immediately, and the sound of 'whirring' sounded and smashed into the city, and it turned out to be the trebuchet of the Western Liang Army that had launched one step earlier.

The crossbow cart of the Western Liang army had just passed, and the trebuchet had already pushed it up and circled around the sides of the ballista. The stones have long been prepared, dozens of pounds of stones flew up to the city, the destruction of the surname of the killing is appalling, when the city is in chaos, the second round of iron arrows of the city-breaking crossbow has been prepared, the flag makes an order, and all the crossbow arrows rush to the top of the city gate.

It was the weakest part of the wall, and it was also the most vulnerable to collapse.

Xiao Buyi copied Li Jing's original strategy, and was determined to collapse the city wall and attack again!

As soon as the crossbow arrows passed, the rammed earth and gravel on the city gate fell like rain, and the trebuchet did not hesitate to launch a second round of attack, and smashed on the battlements one after another!

Wei Yijie had never seen this kind of siege before, and finally realized the desperate state of mind of the guards of the pass. Although his catapult can fight back, it is always a little worse than his opponent. The farthest distance of the trebuchet in the city is still dozens of steps away from the trebuchet of the Western Liang army. Li Jing not only improved the ballista, but also improved the catapult!

At times like these, distance is undoubtedly the most fatal factor. Tang Jun watched his opponent destroy the city wall inch by minute, unable to do anything, the most painful thing in the world is nothing more than this.

Catapults and crossbows attacked in turn, pounding on the trembling walls. The ballista is responsible for breaking the gaps in the walls, but the catapults are responsible for destroying the walls with the gaps.

Every round of stones and every round of crossbow arrows carried earth-shattering power, inspiring the supreme enthusiasm of the Western Liang army.

Seeing such a magnificent scene, the Western Liang army shouted and cheered in unison, as if the shout also had power, and when another [***] stone was thrown, the city gate tower finally couldn't resist the bombardment and collapsed!

The trebuchet did not stop, and several [***] stones smashed over, but this time it was the lonely city walls on both sides of the city gate.

The city gate was broken, the battlements above collapsed, the city was no longer a whole, it was easier to collapse, several [***] stones tilted down, and there was a bang, and a huge gap was opened at the city gate.

The Tang soldiers stood unsteadily, fell one after another, screaming again and again, and at this time, a boulder fell, and the soldiers who couldn't avoid it were instantly slapped into meat sauce, which was miserable.

Under the smoke and dust, Xiao Buyi saw that the time had come, waved his spear, and the drums in the army were loud. The Western Liang army finally officially charged, the ladder went straight to the moat, and everyone stepped on the ladder to rush to the opposite bank, and went straight to the gap in the city gate!

Tang Jun was dizzy when he was bombed, and it could be seen that the opponent rushed and gritted his teeth to catch up. After this round of bombardment, the inside and outside of the city are already equally geographically advantageous, but the Xiliang soldiers are good at fighting and take the lead. In hand-to-hand combat, he gritted his teeth and attacked the city almost inch by inch.

Xiao Buyi looked at the tragic battle in front of the city gate from afar, knowing that the overall situation had been decided, and it was just a matter of time before he entered the city.

The Yuci city wall was destroyed, and there was a huge gap, and it was obviously no longer suitable for guards to settle in, and Xiao Buyi didn't care about this. His intention to be a drunkard is by no means in Yuci, whether it is destroyed here or not has nothing to do with the overall situation.

I don't know why, I suddenly thought of the Great Wall that had only been built for a few years when I was out of the fortress, and it was long and long, the city was repaired and destroyed, and everything was turned into a handful of loess after a thousand years, and perhaps there would be no trace at all.

I don't know why I did this, Xiao Buyi looked into the distance, and he had already passed the Yellow Snake Ridge and threw himself into Taiyuan on the other side of the mountain. He knew that the moment was just some hors d'oeuvres, and the success was expected, the real fierce battle, one in Taiyuan, the other in Hedong!

Hedong is a place where Li Tang's heavy troops are hoarded, and it is not easy to attack. Dinghedong, taking the pass is a matter of course. The difficulty in Taiyuan is not in the high and strong city, but in the Turkic cavalry, according to his information, the current Turkic cavalry has gathered hundreds of thousands of people in Dingxiang.

That was a great threat to the Western Liang army.

Xiao Buyi was not afraid, but he really didn't want to spend his troops on the Turkic soldiers before he faced off with Li Tang.

But all this is no choice for him.

Surrender without a fight, and be a minister, which he does not want. If you don't bend your knees to the Turks, you have to fight with them in an upright manner, and the Turks who fight know that the people of the Central Plains should not be humiliated! Now that he and Wei Chigong have discussed and decided, the strategy has been clear, and he will feint to attack Taiyuan and fight against the Turks!

Suddenly, the Xiliang army shouted again, Xiao Buyi turned his head to look, only to see that the Xiliang soldiers had poured into the city gate like a tide, and the Tang army finally couldn't resist and collapsed.

Yuci has been broken! War...... But it's just getting started!

(To be continued)
