"There are only 30,000 horses in Niu Cunjie, and the last general is willing to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to test the enemy's formation." In the face of a strong enemy, Gao Xingzhou was much more cautious, if it was before, he directly shouted to break the enemy army.

Li Yun said: "General Gao, don't be impatient, Niu Cunjie is so fanfare, there must be a scheme." “

In fact, after seeing the momentum of Liang Jun, Li Ye gave up the idea of sneaking out of the customs to attack.

Niu Cunjie is not Li Hanzhi, this person's style is too steady, and it feels like a big turtle shell in front of Tongguan.

"What is the movement of Liu Zhijun's department?" Li Ye asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have been shrinking in Shaanzhou, and there are only small-scale confrontations." Li Xiaoqi said.

Liu Zhijun was originally a junior colonel under Shi Pu's account, and when Pu was at the end of his rope, Liu Zhijun led his subordinates to defect to Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen used him as a partial general, and he had not yet emerged in the Liang army.

Li Ye is deeply jealous of him.

"In this battle, our army can strictly defend Tongguan." After all, it was a new army, and Li Ye didn't want to take too many risks.

Hundreds of catapults "crunched" were pushed in front of Tongguan.

In order to protect the safety of these catapults, the Liang army arranged a heavy shield array and spear array.

Just looking at the formation is quite scary.

There are 10,000 people, boundless, the Liang army formation can't help but move forward, the narrow mountain road under Tongguan is full of dark red Liang army, and there are heavy soldiers behind them to transport a cart of stones and other things.

Could it be that Niu Cunjie really wants to rely on stones to smash Pingtong Pass?

Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty has paid more and more attention to Tongguan, and has taken local materials to dig mountains and stones, and has operated in successive dynasties.

After Li Ye seized Tongguan, he has always regarded it as his own gate, Li Yun reinforced it layer by layer, watered with rice juice and yellow mud, not to mention the copper wall and iron wall, at least it is one of the best Xiongguan in the world.

With only a hundred catapults, it is impossible to break through Tongguan.

"The Liang army is about to attack the city, please move your majesty into the city." Li Yun surrendered his hand and asked for his life.

Li Ye knew that for the sake of his own safety, the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and any accident could happen, but as an emperor, he appeared on the city wall, and the encouragement to the soldiers can be imagined, and Li Ye did not want to show the image of a weak emperor in the soldiers.

"Liang Jun's carving insect skills, why is the general afraid? I want to see the bravery of the soldiers! “

"The Tang Dynasty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty!"

First, the soldiers around Li Ye shouted, and then the entire city wall shouted: "The Tang Dynasty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty." “

The sound also reached the Liang army, as if declaring war, and the sound of war drums also sounded in the enemy formation.

"Put!" The shouts rang out.

More than a hundred stones the size of a human head were thrown into the sky and fell on the city wall in a disorderly manner, stirring up puffs of smoke and dust.

At least half of it smashed into the mountains and forests on both sides.

None of the soldiers were injured. Laughter erupted when the closure was closed.

Li Ye couldn't help but wonder, the power of catapults in this era is really miserable, and it can't be defeated in a hundred years after tackling such a problem.

In the era of cold weapons, as long as there are no internal problems, Tongguan is an invincible existence.

"Your Majesty, look." Li Juchuan pointed to the back of the catapult.

Li Ye looked at the place he was pointing, only Liang Jun took out something like a wine jar from the wooden cart behind him, and there was a torch behind him.

Li Ye's heart sank, he was poor to death in Guanzhong, he couldn't afford to play with technology, and he wouldn't be able to make any black technology, right?

"Trebuchet, what about our trebuchet? Hit them. Li Ye suddenly had a bad premonition.

The closing is relatively narrow, only eight trebuchets are arranged, and the quasi-heads are all calibrated before, Li Ye gave an order, and eight stones were beaten down, but they also made some gains, and smashed one or two Liang army catapults.

Before the second launch was made, the enemy trebuchets had already been activated, and the black jars were thrown into the sky and smashed into the gates, and some of them smashed into the mountains and forests on both sides.

In September, many trees have withered and turned yellow.

Li Ye immediately smelled a smell of pine grease.

"It's kerosene!" Li Juchuan shouted.

As soon as the words fell, the second wave of oil jars fell.

"Hurry up and get the sand!" Li Ye shouted.

Rao is Li Ye has a lot of imagination, and he didn't expect Liang Jun to play this hand, which is completely throwing money.

There are also more than 100 barrels of fire oil on Tongguan, which is impossible to play like Niu Cunjie, and it is empty, even if there is a fire, it can be extinguished in time.

It's different when you close it, the area is small, and everything else can be burned except for stones and iron.

More than a dozen bags of sand and soil had just been delivered, and the Jin army had launched more than a dozen times in succession, and many soldiers were stained with fire oil.

And at this moment, Liang Jun's catapult moved again, this time it was not a stone, not a fire oil.

Fireballs whistled across the sky.

With a "Teng", the flames rose from the ground, spread out, and quickly devoured several soldiers.

Screams and wails rang out together.

Outside Tongguan, fireballs smashed into the mountains and forests, and waves of fire rolled up.

The whole Tongguan is filled with light red flames everywhere, the mountains and forests on both sides are full of wind and fire, as if to burn through Tongguan in general, the fire takes advantage of the wind, quickly spreads the whole mountain forest in the north and south, a large number of birds, such as dark clouds rising from the mountains and forests, hovering in the smoke and dust, sending out a burst of wailing.

Countless beasts fled in panic with the flames, causing even larger wildfires.

A fierce tiger, covered in flames, stood on a hill and roared desperately at Tongguan.

The tiger caught Li Ye's attention, and for a moment, he felt that he was this desperate beast.

The fire was full of fire between the mountains and forests on both sides, sweeping towards Tongguan.

The waves of fire were overwhelming like a torrent, as if even the stones on Tongguan were burning.

Someone poured water on the soldiers who were on fire, but the fire intensified.

The smell of burnt meat scurried everywhere.

"Your Majesty, please retreat into the city." Li Juchuan was also dumbfounded, and there was chaos in the city.

"Retreat? Where can I retreat? Li Ye roared with a hideous face, "Where can Datang retreat?" “

There was a moment of silence on the city walls, except for the sound of flames "beeping and beeping".

For Li Ye, this voice came again like a nightmare, laughing at him wildly.

Laugh at him for his vain efforts and laugh at him for his inability.

If Tongguan is broken, Li Ye can't think of where he can retreat, maybe Chang'an can resist for a while, but if he loses Tongguan, what will the baby-like Guanzhong take to wrestle with the strong man-like Central Plains?

The world is big, and there is no place for a failed emperor.

"There is no retreat from death, I live and die with Tongguan!" The smoke and dust in the mountains kept falling on Li Ye, making him look both embarrassed and a fierce sense of forest, like a warrior who was determined to die.

The soldiers all looked at him in a daze, not believing that this was what the Tang Emperor said.

In that year, the army of Huangchao invaded Guanzhong, Chang'an City was strong and deep, and there were many soldiers and enough food, all of them gave up, and fled to Shuzhong with Tian Lingzi, and lost the huge Guanzhong to Huangchao.

Many soldiers were witnesses of that scene.

Seeing so many people looking at him, Li Ye's heart softened, "God has the virtue of a good life, if you want to go, you will go, I will die here today!" “

It's not that he has an iron head, but he knows that if he falls into the hands of Zhu Wen, it may be better to live than to die, and it is better to die on the battlefield vigorously and leave a name in history.

It's quieter around.

"The last general is willing to live and die with His Majesty!" Gao Xingzhou was the first to shout.

Then the entire Guancheng shouted: "May I live and die with Your Majesty!" ”
