Qizhou has been besieged for three days, even if you know that you can't hold it, even if the morale of the guards is low, you always have to hold on to resisting for a few days.

Xie Yi knew this, so he was not in a hurry, the troops invested in the siege were very limited, and to some extent, he was just exerting psychological pressure on the soldiers in Qizhou City and the masterminds of the rebellion.

For a city that is destined to last long, if the number of troops invested is too large, the casualties are too large. Of course, if Xie Yi uses an artifact, it will be easy to break the city, and that is gunpowder.

However, this thing is too powerful, His Majesty Li Er supervises it strictly, and without approval, even as the "inventor" Xie Yi does not dare to use it easily.

Besides, it didn't come to that point, after all, there were just a few thieves in Qizhou City. Even if Li You is the prince and Yin Hongzhi is from a noble family, they only deserve this title at this time.

However, in the end, it is the prince who is rebelling, and if the counterinsurgency battle is too active, especially in the final stage of the attack, it is likely to be criticized. After all, the most important thing for me is that my identity is the chief of the Jin Palace, and the blow to other princes is too strong, I'm afraid it's not good.

Therefore, Xie Yi was not in a hurry at all, but the army besieged Qizhou City, and then launched an attack every day. In addition to occasionally appearing to supervise the battle, he can even cook tea and drink tea in the big tent in his free time, which is quite relaxed and freehand, and there is no one in the coach to be on this job.

Waiting for the city to break, this is Xie Yi's principle.

Either someone took the initiative to open the city and surrender, or opened the door to surrender the city, and the rebels who surrendered throughout the ages, or there were too many rebel generals who wanted to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light.

However, Xie Yi is more concerned about the third situation, that is, someone abandons the city and leaves. Knowing that it is a lonely city, as long as it is not mourning more than dying, as long as there is no despair, there is still a little bit of survival. or the desire to make a comeback, you must not sit still, you must want to break through.

Whether Li You is this kind of person Xie Yi doesn't know, but Yin Hongzhi and Wang Jundu and others should be, they are all scheming conspirators. Definitely will not admit defeat easily, easy to be caught, especially Wang Jundu, success is the mother of failure This sentence is absolutely great encouragement to him, and the spirit of perseverance and persistent efforts over the years is really moving.

Presumably, this defeat will not break him. As long as he can escape, I believe that he will still not be at peace, and he will definitely find opportunities to make trouble, and even make some trouble. For such an unstable factor, it is best to be able to unplug it all at once.

For Xie Yi, this is the primary purpose of this trip, after all, the reason why Li Shimin sent himself here was for this group of ghosts.

If you let these people slip out from under your nose, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain, and your face will not be glorious at all. More importantly, there is a point. Themselves have inevitably landed on their revenge list.

In order to avoid carefully guarding against their sneak attacks and revenge in the future, the most direct way is to say that they are all caught now. According to the news from Yebei's investigation, Wang Jundu himself is still staying in Qizhou, and he doesn't know if he has any plans. I still haven't had time to escape.

In any case, since he was surrounded in Qizhou City, he closed the door and beat the dogs, and the matter of catching turtles in the urn must be caught.

……

The rhythm is similar to what was expected. On the third day after the siege, the city defense of Qizhou finally loosened slightly.

Some generals openly sent people out of the city to surrender to Chengcheng and communicate about the surrender and sacrifice of the city. Just when Xie Yi promised to receive the people who surrendered to Cheng, the north gate of Qizhou opened, and the group rushed out of the city.

It doesn't matter whether there is a relationship between Toucheng and Breakthrough, although the messenger who surrendered to Cheng was honestly afraid, he was still dragged away by the Yebei faction and imprisoned pending trial.

As for those who fled, the deputy general from the Songzhou Governor's Mansion immediately came to report: "Master Xie, someone has broken through, do you want to lead your troops to pursue?" ”

"Naturally, you want it, you inform His Royal Highness King Wu and let him go!"

"This ......" Hearing Xie Yi's words, the deputy general was a little embarrassed: "Master Xie, the matter of the pursuit is still the last general, don't embarrass His Highness." ”

Xie Yi said: "General, don't you hear the talk of attacking the west? These people who are now fleeing...... His Royal Highness King Wu will not be embarrassed to go after him. ”

The deputy general is a smart man and is also well versed in the art of war, so he immediately nodded and said, "Obey, thank you Lord Hou." ”

Xie Yi knew in his heart that Li Ke's so-called difficulty was to avoid the tragedy of fratricide, and if he took it upon himself to arrest Li You, it would inevitably be a bit against the will of Li Shimin and Concubine Yang, and might even be criticized. The Songzhou Governor's Mansion can already be regarded as Li Ke's henchmen, so the deputy generals are also very careful to plan for their own prince.

But this wave of people who went out of the city first should not, it is a common trick to attack the east and west, with Yin Hongzhi, especially the characteristics of Wang Jundu's cunning rabbit three caves, he will definitely not break through first.

Under normal circumstances, the first wave of breakthrough may have a sudden thought, and the combat effectiveness may be strong, but the attention of the defenders is also concentrated, the encirclement is tighter, and the success rate is not so high. If you set up a suspicious formation, use a suspicious army to pull the defensive line apart, and then look for opportunities in the chaos......

When Li Ke led a group of soldiers and horses to pursue him, Xie Yi did not rush to take advantage of the situation to counterattack Qizhou City, but still set up a defensive line. Of course, the principle of surrounding the master must still be followed, and in some specific places, gaps are deliberately left to wait for someone to get into.

The waiting process was not too long, and when the trick of turning the tiger away from the mountain did not work, the people in the city were naturally a little anxious. Especially when they are impatient, the desire to get out of the city becomes more and more urgent, and I am afraid that it will not be long before breaking through.

Looking at it without accidents, it should be soon, Xie Yi looked at the remnant sun in the west mountain at sunset, and sighed softly.

That night, although there were pink beauties waiting in the tent, Xie Yi did not go back, but stood under the city of Qizhou with his sword and ordered a group of soldiers and horses to attack the city.

It's hard to say how strong the real attack is, but the battle is undoubtedly a little scary, and the morale on the city wall is not high, and the Qizhou soldiers who have no intention of fighting can't help but tremble, as if they are ready to collapse. This Qilu is to rush, and the prosperous capital is crumbling in the war, as if it will fall at any time.

Under such circumstances, Li You's spirit in the Qi Palace's mansion was about to collapse, and he couldn't wait for a moment, so he shouted loudly: "Uncle, let's go, if you don't break through the siege of the city defense, you won't be able to keep it......"

Yin Hongzhi looked at his nephew like this, and he had long lost the regret of hating iron and steel, but instead had a look of indifference and even ridicule, but in the end he nodded gently...... (To be continued.) )
