Chapter 535: Flashy
Wang Yu took the medicine, slept for a day, and appeared in front of everyone alive.
Zuo Si and the others saw that she was in good spirits, and as before, they relieved themselves.
After Li Shimin was angry with Wang Yu yesterday, he didn't pay attention to her anymore, and he saw that she was full of energy at this time, just as she was pretending to be sick yesterday.
"Second brother, what are they doing here?" Wang Yu pointed to the soldiers who were building a high platform in front of him.
Li Shimin was holding a telescope to observe the situation on the city wall of Huzhou, and when he heard her words, he put down the telescope and answered her question: "The city wall is too thick, and the city gate is too strong for the artillery to penetrate, so I thought of building a high platform, placing the artillery on the high platform, and firing at the city." ”
Wang Yu said "oh": "It turned out to be a fort." ”
"Turret?" Li Shimin pondered this word, and looked at the high platform in front of him, isn't it the high platform where cannonballs are fired?
He smiled: "This name is very apt, well, it will be called the battery in the future." ”
"When are you going to attack the city?" Wang Yu asked.
Li Shimin visually measured the height of the fort and said, "Tomorrow." ”
"Can you let Zuo Si and them go to the siege together?" Wang Yu took the opportunity to make a request.
Li Shimin glanced at her, and then looked back at Zuo Si, who was standing in the distance.
When Zuo Si saw Li Shimin looking over, his expression was dazed, and he stood more straight.
Li Shimin retracted his gaze and thought for a while: "...... Yes, let them report to Qin Shubao, and tomorrow Qin Shubao will be the striker. ”
"Thank you, second brother."
Wang Yu immediately told Zuo Si and the others the good news.
After hearing this, they were very happy, and they all geared up, thinking that they must perform well tomorrow and make a military achievement.
In the evening of this day, the soldiers came to report: "Marshal, Li Shiyun asks to see you." ”
Li Shimin was overjoyed: "It's just in time, let him in." ”
Li Shichang entered the tent and immediately knelt down to plead guilty: "The minister has lost Liyang, please ask the king to surrender." ”
"Hurry up." Li Shimin helped Li Shiyun up, and said with a smile: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, you don't forget the king after you are captured, and you still want to make meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty in your heart, I know this loyalty, and Your Majesty also knows it."
"Not long ago, after Xiao Yu returned from Zhaozhou, he had already explained everything to His Majesty. Rest assured, Your Majesty, the Holy Father, has forgiven your sins and restored your title. ”
Li Shiyun was very moved, and immediately kowtowed in the direction of Chang'an: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Then, Li Shimin told Li Shixun about Xiao Yu's trip to Zhouzhou, and when Li Shixun knew that Dou Jiande released his father, his hanging heart finally fell.
"Come, I'll tell you about the situation in the state." Li Shimin unfolded the map and immediately discussed it with Li Shixian.
......
Day 2.
Li Shimin sent Duan Zhixuan to provoke under the city and lead Song Jingang out of the city to fight.
Song Jingang stood on the city wall and ignored it.
"Coward, like a turtle, only knows how to shrink in the shell of the turtle, and if you have the ability, you will crawl out and fight with me......"
Duan Zhixuan kept screaming and scolding.
After a while, the soldiers came to convey Li Shimin's order: "General, the marshal asked you to go back." ”
Duan Zhixuan stopped scolding and rode back to the camp.
Seeing Duan Zhixuan leaving, Song Jingang let out a long breath, he thought that today had passed like this.
However, the next moment, the earth-shattering war drums sounded outside the city, and the Tang army opened the array and began to dispatch siege equipment.
The Don army was going to storm the city.
Song Jingang hurriedly shouted: "Defend, defend......"
The next moment, he stared at the Tang Army camp in a daze.
Yesterday, he saw the Tang army building a high platform outside the city, thinking that the Tang army was building a sentry post, but he didn't expect to see a behemoth appear on the high platform at this time.
This behemoth, he saw Pei Lin use it, it looked quite scary, but it couldn't break through the city wall, and he couldn't break the city gate.
Thinking of Pei Lian's gray escape, Song Jingang suddenly straightened his waist and stopped panicking.
Tang Jun likes to use some flashy weapons, it's too stupid......
"Boom ......"
The huge iron ball flew head-on, and Song Jingang subconsciously hid to the side.
The iron ball hit the battlement, and it exploded, and the soldiers on the wall were blown away.
The smoke cleared, and Song Jingang was dragged down the city by the general, and he saw the general's mouth open and open, as if he was saying something, but he didn't hear a word.
His ears were ringing and he couldn't hear anything from the outside world, and the feeling of being cut off from the outside world frightened him, and he hurriedly raised his hand to pat his ears to get back to normal.
The next moment, another iron ball flew in.
"King Song, be careful."
The general pounced on Song Jingang, and blood flowed out of his mouth.
Song Jingang glanced at the surrounding corpses and gravel potholes, quickly pushed away the corpses on his back, and ran down the city with his legs.
The soldiers saw Song Jingang running down the city and left the city wall with him.
Li Shimin saw this scene through the telescope and hurriedly ordered: "Stop firing the cannon and start shooting." ”
The three bed crossbows were already in place, and when they heard Li Shimin's order, the soldiers immediately activated the bed crossbows.
"Siege!"
Rows of peg arrows were nailed to the city wall, and there were ladders next to it, Qin Shubao led the vanguard troops to the city wall like a tide, climbed the pedal arrows at the fastest speed, and climbed towards the city head.
Soon, Qin Shubao took the lead in climbing the city wall, planting the distinctive Tang army flag on the city wall, and then led the soldiers to rush down the inner city wall and fight the enemy army.
"The second brother is really witty." Wang Yu couldn't help but praise.
Li Shimin raised the corners of his lips, with a hint of pride on his face, and when he saw the city gate open, he shouted loudly: "Everyone listen to the order and follow me into the city." ”
Wang Yu turned over his horse and followed.
Seeing that the Tang army had broken through the city gate in a short period of time, Song Jingang's soldiers were afraid and did not dare to confront each other head-on, so they fled in panic.
In this battle, Song Jingang was defeated, withdrew from Huzhou, and led the remnants of Wei Chi Jingde and Xunxiang to retreat to the north.
The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted.
At the same time, Li Shimin sent Chai Shao and Yu Wenshi to capture Jiangzhou and continue to regain lost territory north.
After Li Shimin recovered Huzhou, Wang Yu resigned to Li Shimin.
"Aya ordered me to go back to Chang'an, I have to go, I'll wait for the second brother to return victoriously in Chang'an, take care."
Li Shimin wanted to send troops to escort Wang Yu back to Chang'an, but Wang Yu refused.
Thinking of the skills of Zuo Si and others, Li Shimin did not insist.
On the way back to Chang'an, Wang Yu said to Daquan and them: "Actually, I can go back to Chang'an by myself first, and you can stay here and continue to accumulate military achievements." ”
Hao Shou said: "I am already a person from the princess's mansion, of course we have to follow the princess." ”
Wang Yu didn't say anything and respected their decision.
......
On the day of the recovery of Huzhou, Li Yuan was crossing the Yellow River on a dragon boat, wanting to inspect Dugu Huaien's military camp.
"This stinky girl, I asked her to go back to Chang'an, she was disobedient, and when I arrived in Puzhou, I must arrest her back."
Xiao Yu smiled and didn't say anything, he knew that Li Yuan was just talking, and if he really saw Wang Yu, he wouldn't do anything to her.
At this time, the dragon boat suddenly stopped, and there was a commotion outside.
Li Yuan frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
"Slave go and see." Yue Yu lifted the curtain and walked out.
After a while, Yue Yu came in to report: "A suspicious ship has been found ahead, and Commander Ding has gone to check ......"
