Chapter 6: The Soldiers Are Coming to the City
The rest of the conversation was not nutritious.
Li Ye came through, afraid of revealing the stuffing, and hid his words.
Du Rangneng is also a Tibetan ten said one.
The two said a few more words in a fog, and Du Rangneng said goodbye and left.
didn't mention the current incident of the three towns raising troops and committing crimes.
Sending Du Rangneng away, Li Ye was extremely entangled in his heart.
His original idea was to defect to Li Ke and get his father and son, saving himself from tossing, and there may not be a good result.
But after talking to Du Rangneng today, he wavered a little.
Defect, the key is that Li Keyong's father and son are not the final victors, even if Li Cunqiao has a large belly and can accept him, but what about the arrogant soldiers under his command? He has played himself to death, can he keep himself safe? Even if you know the course of history, you can guarantee that those in power after every mutiny will be friendly with you? There are too many uncertainties, and living to that era is the biggest uncertainty in itself.
Don't run away, this road is too dangerous, fighting alone, too hard.
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.
In his previous life, Li Ye was not a motivated person, otherwise he would not have been doing sales for five or six years, and his monthly salary was still five or six thousand.
But today's biggest gain is Du Rangneng.
One of the hidden cattle people, I don't know how Zhaozong did it, so he turned a blind eye to him, and instead listened to Zhang Jun and his ilk.
The first rebels to arrive was Han Jian's 8,000 army of the Zhenguo Army, no way, he was the closest to Chang'an.
However, he is not stupid, he is only blocked at the east gate of Chang'an City, and he is not in a hurry to attack.
Li Ye originally wanted to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and let the Shence army attack, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Sun Dezhao, who was commanded by the Shence army left, came back under the pretext that the troops were not well prepared.
Li Ye also knew the situation of the Shence Army, which had no combat effectiveness, and was defeated by Li Cunxiao and Li Keyong successively, which was basically abolished.
The remaining remnants of the defeated army will not be used, and their combat effectiveness will definitely not be able to keep up with Han Jian's 8,000 Zhenguo army.
The name of the Zhenguo Army is good, but it is not a Zhenguo, but a chaotic country!
Three days later, Wang Xingyu led more than 10,000 troops to block the north gate of Chang'an.
A day later, Li Maozhen led an army of 80,000 from the west, Fengxiang is more than 300 miles away from Chang'an, the cavalry does not need to be able to come to the city in one day, the infantry is almost three days, Li Maozhen deliberately delayed for five days, just to put pressure on Tang Ting.
Chang'an was finally surrounded by a 100,000-strong army.
Li Ye looked at the enemy army like a tide in all directions, and his heart was extremely shocked, and he began to worry about whether Chang'an could hold on.
In fact, he knows the answer in his heart, and he will definitely not be able to keep it, and there will be ghosts if the Shence Army is reliable, mainly because the Shence Army is not the same heart as himself.
Fortunately, Li Maozhen was not in a hurry to attack, looking at the world, Chang'an City is definitely one of the best fortified cities, even if he can defeat Chang'an, Li Maozhen will have to knock out a few old teeth.
The strength of the army is the strength of these feudal towns, and the loss of any strength is fatal!
Li Maozhen, as a hero, it is impossible not to know this truth, what he wants is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and it is best for Li Ye to give up resistance.
But how could Li Ye, who knows the direction of history, surrender?
Zhu Wen can tolerate Tang Ting's lingering breath, but he will definitely not allow Li Maozhen and Tang Ting's integration.
Li Keyong will not sit idly by and watch Li Maozhen sit big in Guanzhong.
This is not in the interests of the bigwigs of all parties.
Thinking about this, Li Ye is no longer worried, as long as he is not hijacked by Li Maozhen, if he really fights, the bigwigs of all parties will come to mediate, which is the same as the international politics of later generations.
But all the premise is that the Shence army can withstand the early siege of the feudal town coalition army.
The city is broken, there is no need to say anything, the balance is broken, and the bigwigs can only interfere by force.
This is also the biggest test that Li Ye has crossed over.
Knock, knock, knock –
The majestic drums of war resounded across the land.
It was the first time for Li Ye to experience the ancient war, and he only felt that his blood was surging.
However, the blood of the Shence Army around him definitely did not surge, and his face was gray, and he lost in momentum before he fought.
Fortunately, Li Maozhen only made a tentative attack to test the will of the defenders of Chang'an City.
In this era, there is no artillery, and if you want to break through Chang'an, you can only use human lives, even if the will of the Shence army to defend the city is not firm, it is enough for Li Maozhen to drink a pot.
So after leaving thousands of corpses, Li Maozhen retired from the army.
However, the losses of the Shence army were also large, almost eight or nine hundred.
Li Ye saw the whole process with his own eyes, if it weren't for him, the emperor, sitting at the West City Gate, the Shence Army would collapse.
Although Li Ye has no military talent, it can be seen that the Fengxiang army that besieged the city was all weak and sent to death, and there were even some white-bearded old men among them.
Rao is so, the casualty ratio of the Shence army is close to one to one.
That's not a good sign.
If Li Maozhen plays really, Chang'an City will really be broken.
Li Ye was so anxious that he couldn't do it, there was still a way to survive if the others surrendered, and it would be extremely miserable if he surrendered.
"Please return to the palace, Your Majesty!" Wei Zhaodu and other old ministers came to advise Li Ye. Chang'an City is broken, can you sit back and relax when you return to the palace?
Li Ye has no doubts about the loyalty of these old ministers, but none of them can solve problems.
For example, this Wei Zhaodu, in history, Zhaozong sent him to recover Xichuan, lost his troops and lost his generals, and handed over the military power to Wang Jian, Wang Jianli fought hard and bloodily, took the entire Sichuan and Shu, and established himself as the king.
At this moment, the war drums of the Fengxiang Army sounded again.
Li Ye looked at the rebels surging in the west, and was shocked: Li Maozhen is really moving!
The momentum of this siege is different.
Arrows rained down, and there were eaves on the city tower to cover them, and they couldn't shoot Li Ye, but the ministers around him were panicked, not because they were afraid that they would be injured, but because they were really worried about Li Ye.
The defenders of the city were hiding behind the pheasants, and there were no casualties.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, after a long period of war, there was nothing to say about the quality of the soldiers.
But then, under the fierce offensive of the Fengxiang Army, the Shence Army was completely suppressed, and even some soldiers began to flee. Knock, knock, knock –
Li Ye had no choice but to beat the war drum by himself to motivate the army a little.
But it still couldn't save the defeat of the Shence Army.
The Fengxiang sergeant is like a howling wolf, not afraid of swords and guns, and crawls up the city like crazy.
On the other hand, the Shence army has weak energy, obviously the armor, swords, guns and other equipment are better than the enemy, and they have Chang'an Gaocheng to rely on, but they are pressed and beaten by the Fengxiang army. It can't go on like this, Li Ye sighed in his heart, he thought very well, as long as he could bear it, Li Maozhen didn't dare to forcibly attack the city for fear of losses, but he still overestimated the fighting will of the Shence Army, and also underestimated the strength of the Fengxiang Army!
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, these feudal towns, any of them faced the surrounding alien races, they were all at the level of a big man, and Li Maozhen was mixed from a big-headed soldier to a county king, and he was by no means a person who was in vain.
Li Maozhen is so awesome, not to mention Zhu Wen and Li Keyong.
Li Ye trembled inwardly.
Just when he was thinking about it, the western city wall was even more dangerous, and many Fengxiang troops had already climbed up.
These rebels were covered in blood, and they didn't know whether they were their own or the enemy's, their eyes were as calm as wounded wolves, standing on the city wall, like wolves entering a flock, two or three people, and the dozen or so Shence troops around them didn't dare to go up to engage in battle.
The situation is precarious, and Li Ye can't wait to take a sword and go up to play for his life.
The old minister next to him stood in front of him, making his thoughts stillborn.
It's useless to be a scholar. Li Ye couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time had another thought in his heart, why don't you run away now?
But just think about it, he is the emperor in Chang'an City, and when he leaves Chang'an City, he is nothing, as long as Li Maozhen unites a few eunuchs and re-establishes a new emperor, it is not just like playing.
And the identity of the emperor is Li Ye's biggest bargaining chip at present, and if he loses it, in this era of human life, Li Ye really has nothing.
There are more and more Fengxiang troops climbing the city wall, and when they see that the Shence army is about to collapse.
Suddenly there was thunder at the city walls.
How can there be thunder on a sunny day?
If you listen closely, it turns out to be the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the city walls.
Li Ye looked at the city tower and vaguely saw a white-faced young general leading more than 100 cavalry to run rampant, and many eyeless Shence troops were knocked away.
The invincible Fengxiang army never expected that a team of cavalry would be killed on the city wall.
In this era, cavalry was oppressive to the infantry, especially in such a narrow area as the city wall, there was no place to hide, and they were directly knocked off the city wall, leaving a series of screams.
The white-faced young man wielded a silver lance and flew several brave Fengxiang soldiers one after another.
Li Ye couldn't help but applaud in his heart, he was a good general.
Listening carefully, the white-faced young general shouted loudly in a thin voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhang Chengye came to the rescue!" ”
