That night, Yan Wangqing and Li Guangbi and the others did not sleep, they couldn't sleep, according to their speculation, the attack of the wolf tooth army will definitely start tomorrow, and now the defenders in Taiyuan City are fully preparing for defense, as well as long-range siege equipment. At the same time, Yan Wangqing sent a letter to Liu Cheng, the nearest Cangyun army, asking him to prepare to lead his seven thousand soldiers and horses to aid Taiyuan City, Yan Wangqing knew very well that as long as the battle began, Tiance Mansion would soon get the news, as long as they also came to support, they would have the opportunity to defend Taiyuan City.

Li Guangbi and Liu Yuhao boarded the Chaoxi Gate together, looked around, and rehearsed the route of the Wolf Tooth Army's attack many times, both sides of the inner city of the East City are close to the moat Fen River, it is impossible to be the target of the Wolf Tooth Army's attack, then it is only possible to storm the Chaoxi Gate Gate and the left and right sides of the gate, so they prepared stones and rolling logs in the city towers on both sides overnight, as long as the Wolf Tooth soldiers come up by the ladder, they can be blocked for a while. At the same time, three hundred archers were prepared near the main gate to hide, and once the battle began, all three thousand arrows must be fired at the Wolf Tooth Army within a stick of incense.

"General Li, there shouldn't be too much of a problem on our side, have you arranged the defense of the two gates of Xicheng?"

"Don't worry, your eldest sister went in person, and she let Liu Xiao's troops hide near Chitang Pass in the north, which is the only way for the Wolf Tooth Army to detour, as long as the Wolf Tooth Army is found, Liu Xiao can give them a fatal blow, so the focus of Xicheng is on Yingze Gate, which is too close to the direction of Luoyang, and with the arrangement of Deputy General Yan, the problem should not be big, this Chaoxi Gate is the most important thing."

Liu Yuhao looked outside the city gate, Taiyuan City was quiet and peaceful at night, the moonlight was a little dim, and he couldn't even see the road fifty meters away, he clenched the long knife in his hand and sighed.

"General Li, Yanmen Pass is the last line of defense in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and this line of defense is borne by my Xuanjia soldiers with flesh and blood, and guarded by the Xue family's military for generations. And now, the last general can tell you responsibly that in front of Taiyuan City, my Xuanjia soldiers will not take half a step back, and the eldest sister is the banner of our squad, the banner of Cangyun, and will never fall. ”

Li Guangbi didn't understand, Liu Yuhao's words were like his last words before he knew that he would die, he had a good relationship with Xue Value, and he also understood that the Xue Family Army and the Xuanjia Army led by Xue Value were not afraid of death, Xue Value can guard Yanmen Pass to this day, then the Xuanjia Army can fight to the death for any inch of land in the Central Plains, this is not because they are stupid, maybe not everyone is so heartfelt to the Tang Dynasty, because this is the soul of the Xuanjia Army.

The first light of the morning shone on the faces of every Taiyuan defender, and also shone on the hearts of Yan Wangqing, Li Guangbi and others, at this moment, they began to hide on the city tower, waiting silently, waiting for that burst of sand and dust to hit. Everyone stayed awake all night, but now they must keep a clear mind and full of spirit, in the long wait, Yan Wangqing saw an immature child, she looked at Li Guangbi, because she recognized the boy, Li Guangbi's only son, Li Yu.

"General Li, you are..."

"Don't say anything, the children of the soldiers, there is no fear of death, other people's children can go into battle at the age of fifteen, can't my Li Guangbi's children? He himself understands and understands. ”

Looking at Li Guangbi's wry smile and helplessness, Yan Wangqing didn't say any more, she knew that Datang owed these children for the future, and at the same time sighed at the cruelty and ruthlessness brought about by the war, as well as the helplessness.

The sun gradually climbed to the south, and it was already three o'clock at this time, Sha Qibo led an army of 50,000 people, and finally appeared five miles away from Taiyuan City, he turned his head and said: "Deputy Commander Sha, you lead people first, I will slowly enter it, and sweep the battle for you at three miles from Taiyuan City." ”

Sha Qihu nodded, rushed to Taiyuan City with five thousand soldiers and horses, when there was still a mile away from Taiyuan City, he found that there were only a few defenders at the city gate, Sha Qihu ordered his men to rush in, the soldiers guarding the city saw the army from afar, and hurriedly ran into the city and closed the city gate, Sha Qihu stopped at the gate of Taiyuan City, shouting.

"Who are you defending the city, come out and surrender quickly, grandpa spares you from dying, the Tang Dynasty is exhausted, it should be the world of our Hu people, hurry up and go out of the city and surrender, otherwise grandpa will rush up and kill you to drink."

Sha Qihu kept scolding at the city gate, Li Guangbi waved his hand, ordered the archers to prepare, and with a wave of his big hand, suddenly, countless figures suddenly appeared on the city gate. At the same time, countless arrows whistled like raindrops, and the sand almost shouted that it was not good, and as he ordered the men to hold up their shields, he retreated backwards, and even he himself jumped from his horse. According to Li Guangbi's orders, after all the 3,000 arrows were fired, Sha Qihu's vanguard troops also withdrew a mile away, losing almost 400 people, and dozens of people were wounded to varying degrees.

Sha Qi ordered someone to report to Sha Qi Bo and tell them the news of the scheme, and after the latter heard it, he patted his head.

"Damn, when I said it, I asked the village chief why there were so many fewer people, and my mother lied to me and said that I was going to buy ingredients, no, I must take Taiyuan City today, General Feng, you personally lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Deputy Commander Sha and storm Taiyuan City!"

Feng Changqing was ordered to bring men and horses to join Sha Qihu, and after telling him about the so-called Xiaoyan, he also understood, but the siege was important in front of him, and he couldn't care about anything else. Then, according to Feng Changqing's arrangement, 5,000 soldiers and horses were arranged from the left and right sides of the main gate to climb the city gate by the ladder, and more than 9,000 soldiers and horses in front of the city gate were climbed on the ladder at the same time to forcibly attack the city.

The battle began in an instant, with ladders mounted by the wolf-tooth soldiers on both sides of the Chaoxi Gate, while the defenders of Taiyuan City relied on heavy objects such as stones and rolling logs to smash the wolf-tooth soldiers who climbed up. The main gate is a siege vehicle pushed by dozens of people, and at the same time there are ladders to take up, and the Taiyuan defenders have already prepared a strong ballista and a catapult, there are two raised platforms on both sides of the city gate, where the strong ballista can be placed, and the catapult is put in the city.

I have to say that the power of the strong crossbow and the stone throwing is very great, which can bring great trouble to the wolf tooth soldiers, and at the same time, the Taiyuan city guard army has been arranged first, and it is more difficult for the wolf tooth soldiers to come up from the cloud ladder, at this time the wolf tooth soldiers who fell at the foot of the city are countless, and the sand can hardly stand it, they are too chaotic after the calculation, if they attack again, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and in desperation, they have to Mingjin to withdraw the troops and evacuate Taiyuan City.

Seeing the withdrawal of the Wolf Tooth Army, Li Guangbi was also relieved, this time the Wolf Tooth Army was caught off guard, and the attack was only an hour before retreating, which was the benefit of their strategy, if they were ready next time, it would be difficult to deal with it, after all, the Taiyuan defenders were only about 20,000, and the Wolf Tooth Army lost about 1,800 people in this battle, which was still twice their number, but for Li Guangbi and them, there was no better way at this time.
