After Gu Tai and several generals discussed secretly, he ordered the whole army to cook on the fire that night. After a night's rest, the Tang army, which was full of sleep, swept away the fatigue of the journey and regained morale.

The next morning, Li Tai sent people to the earthen slope under the city of Anshi to call for battle, and the 800 elite soldiers were in unison, ignoring the insults of the Goguryeo people in the city, and only repeated two sentences repeatedly, "Coward!" ”

"Dare to go out of the city and fight!" ”

The captives watched from the city, and were overshadowed by this monstrous scolding, and they were so angry that they couldn't do it, but they still didn't go out of the city to meet the enemy.

On the morning of the third day, Yi Tai sent a hundred heavy archers, climbed halfway up the earthen slope, and shot a hundred arrows with letters from the city wall into the city of Anshi.

These are the letters of begging that were copied by several strategists in the camp overnight yesterday, and it is clearly written that if the Goguryeo people do not surrender, after the Tang army conquers the city of Anshi, Anhui will bury all the people in the city, leaving no one alive.

Faced with this threat, one can imagine how angry the Goguryeo people who received these statements were, but even so, they still did not send troops out of the city to meet the enemy.

This situation of avoiding but not fighting was maintained until the evening of the third day, when the Tang army camp was sleeping well, and a group of dark shadows quietly approached like dark clouds, and the garrison of Anshi City attacked the camp of Li Shiji's army, which was closest to Anshi City.

Yi Yu looked at the candle on the table and shook it, and asked Li Tai, who was sitting on the netg wiping a long sword: "You said that Anshi will send many strict people to attack at night?" ”

For Li Tai's grasp of people's hearts, Yiyu has a kind of blind trust, he said that the Goguryeo people will attack at night tonight, and it will come.

"Five thousand, no more than eight thousand." ”

Yi Yu said: "If you can leave all this group of people behind, there are still more than 50,000 people in the city, they will eat a trench and grow wise, and they dare not come out again, what if they die and wait for reinforcements?" ”

Li Tai inserted the long sword into the sheath with a sharp sound, "It's okay, let them live in peace for a few more days." ”

Yi Yu didn't understand, although he had been marching with Li Tai for so long, his military sensitivity had not improved, and he only knew that Li Tai had his own plans.

The two sat for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of sao outside, and soon heard Ah Sheng report outside the tent: "Master, Anshi City sent troops to attack at night."

Yi Yu stood up, walked to Li Tai and sat down, the Goguryeo people really came to attack at night, the Tang army had already taken precautions, and this time it must be a turtle in the urn.

In less than half an hour, the night attack was over, and the news spread from Li Shiji to the camp of Shuai: "The Great Overseer, the night attack of 8,000 soldiers and horses sent by Anshi City has been ambushed in the front camp, and it is found from the mouth of the captives that there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Anshi City, and a large number of reinforcements are on the way. ”

Li Tai said in a deep voice, "Ah Sheng, pass my order to Li Shiji and Li Daozong, and let them immediately reorganize the army!" ”

"Yes!"

Yu Yu didn't know why, so he turned his head and asked Li Tai with his eyes.

"The leaders of the northern and southern divisions of Goguryeo have heavy troops in their hands, and there are only 150,000 soldiers and horses in our army of no less than 200,000. There was a high ground eight miles southeast of Anyang City, and I sent troops to ambush here, and when I used 1,000 captive-level reinforcements to enter the canyon, I attacked them on all sides and captured them. ”

When Yi Yu heard that Li Tai was going to use the corpse of the enemy army to lead the troops, his face only flashed a little uncomfortable, and he felt uncomfortable thinking that there would be so many defeated alien races being beheaded as bait.

She secretly told herself over and over again that this is a battlefield of life and death, and you can't be soft-hearted in the face of the enemy.

"How many people are you going to send?" ”

, "Forty thousand." ”

"Only 40,000? "The other side has 200,000 soldiers and horses!

Li Tai shook his head, "The advantage of occupying the territory, the convenience of poisonous weeds, forty thousand is enough, besides" He clenched the long sword in his hand, and his handsome facial features looked particularly compelling in the shadow: "I will personally lead the troops there." ”

"What?" Yu Yu glared at Li Tai, trying to find a sign of joking on his face.

40,000 soldiers and horses against 200,000, she already felt that it was hanging, such a dangerous battle, Li Tai had to personally lead the troops, isn't this a joke!

Li Tai looked at her panicked face, put the saber behind him, reached out to grab her in front of Xiong, rubbed her head, and whispered, "I am completely sure of this battle." ”

How can there be anything in this world that is completely certain, Yi Yu is bitter in his mouth, knowing that Li Tai is appeasing him and trying to persuade him to send others to lead troops, but when the words come to his mouth, he just can't say it, so he can only hug him tightly and bury his face in front of him, so as to convey his worries and fears.

"Don't be afraid, I'll come back safely."

The night passed, and before dawn, Li Tai, together with Zhang Liang and Li Daozong, the two marching commanders, rushed to the southeast of Anshi City with an army of 40,000 and 1,000 captives, while Li Shiji was ordered to stay outside Anshi City.

Yi Yu was worried about Li Tai's safety, so he was not in the mood to go to the wounded barracks, and stayed in the tent all day, waking up from sleep.

The next morning, as soon as she got up, she heard a news that made her frown, and Chang Beiwuji arrived with 50,000 reinforcements, and was convening the soldiers who stayed outside the city to discuss the matter.

"Why did you come so soon?" "Long farewell,

Wu Xi arrived five days earlier than Li Tai expected, and as soon as he came, he hurriedly gathered the soldiers to discuss the matter.

From the worst point of view, Yu Yu wanted to take advantage of Li Tai's troops to take advantage of the enemy's reinforcements in front.

"Don't worry, my subordinates have already sent people to investigate, and they should finish talking, and someone will report in a while." ”

Yi Yu nodded, flipped through the book and sat at the table to beat the time, after a cup of tea, someone outside the tent reported that Ah Sheng went out to listen, and when he came in, his face was not good-looking.

Yi Yu knew that there was trouble at a glance, and hurriedly closed the book and asked, "What did Eldest Sun Wuji convene them to discuss?" ”

"Lord Changbei wants General Li to reorganize his troops and bring 50,000 soldiers and horses around tomorrow morning to attack the city from the east." ”

Yi Yu was angry, "The prince just led people to intercept the reinforcements of the captives, he didn't wait for the prince to come back, and attacked the city at this time, if the prince failed to suppress the reinforcements and retreated to the northwest, didn't he plan to support, or did he think that he could take care of both ends, with 150,000 troops against the other party's 200,000 troops plus the 50,000 garrisons in the city!" "She really didn't expect Chang Bei Wuji to do such an unkind thing!

To put it bluntly, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't think about the safety of the 40,000 soldiers who went to intercept the Goguryeo reinforcements! This is to pick up a ready-made bargain, and while Li Tai intercepts a large army on the road, he fights against Anshi City, which is relatively weak, which is really a big bargain!

"Then Li Shiji listened to his mountain," Yi Yu asked again.

"General Li was originally opposed to the current siege, but under the persuasion of Lord Changbei, he was still relieved. The order has been passed down to prepare the armies.

Yi Yu brought it up again in one breath: "Is Li Shiji's ears so soft?" If you persuade him a few words, you can't tell the difference between the southeast and the north! Who is the commander and whose military orders are in his hands, is he going to ignore the prince's military orders? ”

As she spoke, she threw the book on the table, went under the mattress to take out the piece of military order that Li Tai gave her before leaving, and prepared to go out to question Li Shiji with a dark face.

"Don't be impulsive, General Li did this for a reason," Ah Sheng hurriedly stopped at the door and didn't tell her to go out.

Yi Yu scratched him fiercely, "What's the reason, I can't wait for half a month!" ”

Ah Sheng gritted his teeth and bowed his head and said hatefully: "Due to the drought in the north, the 50,000 troops brought by Lord Changbei failed to harvest grain and grass on the road, and now they can only rely on the remaining military food in the camp to feed themselves, counting the 40,000 grain and grass that the master took away before leaving, and the 200,000 army can only stay here for 30 days at most." ”

Yi Yu was stunned, gritted his teeth for a while, and scolded angrily: "Damn! ”

Yi Yu didn't go to Li Shiji to settle accounts in the end, she knew how much Li Tai saw this war, and she knew that if Li Tai knew about the situation here, he would definitely agree to use troops against Anshi City as soon as possible, just like Li Shiji.

All she can do now is pray that Li Tai can successfully block the 200,000 reinforcements in the canyon and return safely.

In the midst of such concerns, the Tang army launched an attack on Anshi City, and Yu Yu could hear first-hand battle reports from Ah Sheng's mouth every day.

The Tang army's attacks for three days ended in failure, and the geographical advantage of Anshi City was too difficult to break, and neither stones nor bows and arrows could climb over that dirt slope.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, when Yi Yu was listening to Ah Sheng's report, someone suddenly came to the camp and said directly that he wanted to see her: "Lord Changbei was sick last night, and our general heard that there was a divine doctor in the camp of the Grand Governor, so he came to invite him." ”

Yi Yu stood in the tent, listening to the people outside talking to Ah Sheng, and was immediately angry.

If he doesn't bring food and grass, he will get sick as soon as he comes, is he here to help, or is he here to add to the chaos?

Ah Sheng didn't need to ask about the jade inside, so he directly refused: "Brother Tang is just a strange man next to the prince, and his medical skills are not as good as rumored in the army, and there are many doctors in the camp, so please ask Lord Changsun to find someone else." ”

The man lingered by the door for a while, and when he saw that Ah Sheng really didn't let go, he left in a huff.

Yi Yu originally thought that this was the case, but he didn't expect that in the evening, Li Shiji would come over in person.

This time, Ah Sheng didn't want to stop at the door and didn't let him see him, so Yu Yu had to come forward to greet him.

"This is the little brother who found the restraint in the battle of Liaoyang City, thank you for many soldiers here" Li Shiji is middle-aged, more sleek than ordinary generals, and he was polite to Yu Yu when he came up, and he did not despise her because her appearance was not amazing.

Yi Yu guessed that he was also here for Chang Bei Wuji, and it was difficult to give a smiling face, so he had to say politely: "The general is polite, I just happened to be tired, not much ability." ”

"1 Brother Bu don't be humble anymore, how can the people around the Great Overseer be idle" Li Shiji first complimented her a few words, and without waiting for her to push back, he went straight to the topic: "I came this time, I still want to ask the little brother to go over to treat the eldest of Changjiao, if it is an ordinary small problem, it will not bother you, but the situation of the eldest is really not good now, it is not appropriate to say a word, in case he dies here and spreads to Chang'an City, the emperor will definitely blame us and others, and the prince will not be exempt from responsibility at that time." ”a。
