Chapter 260: The Siege of Ma Yi (2)

Under the leadership of Fang Yizhi, soon the Tang Emperor Li Shimin came to the top of the city of Mayi and met Zhang Shigui, the Taishou of Mayi.

Zhang Shigui saw that Li Shimin still couldn't believe his eyes, he rubbed his eyes desperately, when he confirmed that the person with a smile in front of him was the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, he couldn't help but burst into tears, he walked up to Li Shimin, knelt down and said, "Minister Zhang Shigui to see Your Majesty." Your Majesty, the minister thinks about it every day, and I want to see Your Majesty every night. I didn't expect that today, like a dream, Your Majesty would appear in front of my eyes like this. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin helped Zhang Shigui up and said with emotion: "Shigui, I also miss you, and I also want to summon you back to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but the northern frontier is restless, and a minister with both ability and political integrity is needed." Since the fifth year of Wude, you have been guarding the northern border for me, eight years, a full eight years, this is really difficult for you. ”

Zhang Shigui said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, my Longyou Zhang family has been a general for generations, and it is the honor of the minister to be able to shroud the body in horse leather and serve the battlefield." Now His Majesty has also come to Mayi City, the minister can be a general under His Majesty, this is the greatest blessing of the minister, back to Chang'an, the minister has nothing to do, eat and wait for death, how can there be a real knife and a real gun in this Mayi City, come really, come to the excitement, come to the pleasure? A good man should be determined in all directions, show his strengths, and only then will he walk in this world in vain, how can he enjoy it all day long and live a lifetime with nothing to do? ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin lightly beat Zhang Shigui's chest with his fist, opened his mouth and laughed: "Shigui's words are lifting. To put it bluntly, I have always wanted to escape from Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, away from those complicated and trivial political affairs, to this territory. On the battlefield, it is a good man, a place where he has made contributions and is famous all over the world, on this frontier. It's the place where I worry about it day and night, and I am haunted by my dreams. ”

After that, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin saw the dense torches and the mighty Turkic army under the city of Mayi, he frowned slightly, and said to Zhang Shigui: "Shigui, there are 20,000 troops under this city, and you are only four or five thousand soldiers in the city of Mayi, and there are only four or five thousand people together, can you hold this Mayi City?" ”

Only then did Zhang Shigui remember that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin appeared in Mayi City. It was a good thing that I had never dreamed of, but the Turks had come at an inopportune time, and there was nothing worse or more frustrating than the 20,000-strong army besieging Mayi. Zhang Shigui couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the situation is critical now, please go out of the city with your ministers immediately." Even if the minister is broken to pieces, he must protect His Majesty. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "No, use King Yong'an." This mere 20,000 Turkic troops, I really didn't pay attention to it. ”

Zhang Shigui was shocked, he didn't expect His Majesty the Tang Emperor to trust King Yong'an so much, nor did he expect that this King Yong'an would have such ability. One person can deal with 20,000 elite Turkic cavalry.

Li Shimin saw Zhang Shigui's astonishment, and introduced Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, who was standing behind him, to Zhang Shigui very formally.

Zhang Shigui saw that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin favored Li Xuan, and hurriedly hugged his fists to salute, and Li Xuan also bowed to Zhang Shigui.

The Tang Emperor asked Li Xuan with a relaxed face, "King Yong'an." There are 20,000 Turkic elite cavalry under the city, but there are only 4 or 5,000 soldiers in my Mayi city, do you think my Mayi can repel the Turkic attack? ”

Li Xuan did not answer. Instead, a slight move brought up a large box.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, knew that this time they were pretending to be Tang Dynasty businessmen, going thousands of miles to make an appointment and meeting the grassland. They pretended to be a horse team with grain, and Li Xuan asked people to carefully hide more than a dozen boxes of such large boxes in the horse team, as for what was in the box, except for Li Xuan, no one knew. Tang Emperor Li Shimin guessed that these dozen or so boxes should contain the things prepared by Li Xuan to save his life.

Sure enough, Li Xuan slowly opened the box and took out a black iron ball from it, the iron ball was sealed, but it was not completely sealed, and there was a not very long lead at the top of the iron ball.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin and Zhang Shigui asked in surprise at the same time: "King Yong'an, what is this?" ”

"Iron Thunder." Li Xuan said slowly.

"Ray?" Li Shimin and Zhang Shigui were surprised again.

Li Xuan lit the fuse with a torch, and then threw the iron thunder off the city and threw it at the Turkic army that had just assembled under the city of Mayi and was ready to attack.

With a "boom", the iron thunder exploded abruptly before it hit the ground.

The unsuspecting Turkic cavalry was suddenly blown to the ground of flesh and blood, and ghosts cried wolf. At the place where the iron ball exploded, within a radius of ten meters, the Turkic cavalry was either killed or wounded, no one was spared, all the soldiers were wailing in pain, all the horses were constantly twitching and neighing, and the explosion was full of shattered limbs and splashed blood, a tragic situation of hell on earth.

Li Shimin, the Tang Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Shigui, the Taishou of Mayi, were suddenly stunned, with an expression of disbelief, and muttered to themselves: "Is this really thunder?" How can Ray be controlled? How can such a thing happen in this world? ”

Li Xuan didn't speak, silently accepting the frightened eyes of everyone in the city when they looked at him.

After a long time, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin came back to his senses and said to Li Xuan: "King Yong'an, could this be the 'Heavenly Thunder' that you made Zhang Liang and the five hundred Mo Sword Army under his command suffer heavy casualties and suffer at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain?" ”

Li Xuan didn't answer, but he knew in his heart: "This iron thunder is not the same as the thunder he taught Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang's five hundred Mo swords at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. Teach Zhang Liang and them a lesson, they used stone mines and mines, but this time they used iron mines and grenades. ”

Li Xuan knew that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin had always been jealous of himself, if he said that he had mastered two methods of thunder, and the power of thunder was so huge, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin would be even more jealous of himself when he learned about it, so Li Xuan had no choice but to remain silent. And silence will make the Tang Emperor Li Shimin think that it is a tacit acquiescence, thinking that Tie Lei is the "heavenly thunder" that he taught Zhang Liang and the 500 Mo sword army led by Zhang Liang.

Zhang Shigui also came to his senses and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, King Yong'an is really a great talent, and he can actually collect the thunder in the sky for his own use. With such divine and thunderous help, why should we be afraid of the 20,000 Turkic cavalry under the city of Mayi? (To be continued......)
