The book continued from the above, saying that Lu Chongmao's nearly 20,000 troops, mainly infantry mixed with a small number of cavalry, launched an attack on Puzhou City, Li Shimin at the head of Puzhou City looked at the enemy troops surging under the city like a tide, and his brows couldn't help frowning tightly.

If you talk about siege warfare, Lu Chongmao, who rebelled at first, was not advantageous, as the saying goes, if you don't grow up in life, you will be lost in life, since the beginning of the rebellion, with the experience of one big war after another, Lu Chongmao gradually also studied his own set of siege methods.

At this moment, on the battlefield, the soldiers in charge of the charge were holding all kinds of 'weapons' such as hoes, dung forks, and sickles, and under the drive of the war supervisor behind them, they rushed desperately towards the gate of Puzhou City.

The daily army consumes a lot of food is not a small amount, which makes Lu Chongmao also irritable, although Liu Wuzhou often sends some food to come, but it is not a way in the long run, it just so happens that this time Liu Wuzhou asked Lu Chongmao to send troops to attack Puzhou City, Lu Chongmao suddenly had a plan, and ordered these people to go out with the army, on the one hand, they can prove their loyalty to Liu Wuzhou, on the other hand, they can also quickly consume these people on the battlefield, and the deeper meaning is that you can ask Liu Wuzhou for money and food through this consumption.

Lu Chongmao's Overseer team is all fierce and vicious people, holding long knives at the moment standing firmly behind the charging team, each of them standing next to two shieldmen and two archers, the shieldmen are to protect the personal safety of the Overseer, and the two archers are on call at any time, once they find someone who is stagnant, they will quickly shoot to deter the rest of the people.

A group of people ran forward in a panic, shouting vague slogans in their mouths, which made the Puzhou defenders on the city wall puzzled, and Li Shimin, who was in charge of the defense, was not in the mood to care about these trivial matters, his eyes were locked on the enemy's advance distance, and when the enemy army entered the range, he saw Li Shimin stretch out his right hand and raise it high, and then put it down vigorously.

Seeing this, a soldier on the side shouted: "Five hundred and fifty steps ahead, throw." Then I saw a row of archers stretching their bows and arrows in unison, and then raising them diagonally, only to hear a 'hum', a row of arrows rained down the light of the sky in an instant, and shot towards Lu Chongmao's army that was charging under the city.

I only heard the sound of 'boom' one after another, and then I saw that the people charging in front of me fell to the ground one after another like harvested wheat, and some of the people who fell to the ground were killed on the spot, while others were only shot in the body or limbs, and fell to the ground and wailed, and for a time the whole battlefield was full of ghosts and wolves.

This scene made the rest of the people can't help but be a little frightened, and hurriedly stopped to check the situation of the wounded, at this time the overseer team standing in the rear saw this, and before the leader could speak, those archers had already opened their bows and arrows to shoot sharp arrows at the crowd, and as the first person was shot through the neck and fell to the ground, the rest of the people came to their senses, and hurriedly stood up and turned around and continued to charge forward.

Then one of the overseer leaders shouted behind him, "There are archers on the walls, interfere with it, lest these untouchables die and wound too quickly." Then I saw that there were also archers in Lu Chongmao's army and began to shoot at the archers on the city, but the accuracy was too poor, but it still played a certain role in harassment.

After the first group of charging people marched a certain distance, the army behind them sent three phalanxes one after another, covering the siege vehicles to slowly march towards the gate of Puzhou City, and about 300 cavalry in the headquarters remained motionless, which was also prepared to prevent the soldiers of Puzhou City from fighting.

And at this moment, on the flank of the siege army, a group of men and horses are quietly and rapidly marching, and the first person is Chu Mofeng, the Duke of the Tang Qi Kingdom, I saw Chu Mofeng close the cover of the helmet downward, and pulled out the burning sky behind him and shouted in a low voice: "The second battalion of the Heavenly Kill and the Heavenly Spear will tear apart the enemy formation with me, the second battalion of the Heavenly Shield and the Heavenly Bow will be responsible for covering, General Qin and General Cheng, the two of you will lead the soldiers under your command to quickly expand the results of the battle, repeat it again, I don't want to see the prisoners in this battle, do you understand?"

When everyone heard this, they responded in unison, and then Chu Mofeng nodded and said to Zhao Xin: "Put up the extinguishing flag and tell Lu Chongmao's department that the Tiance army is coming." With Chu Mofeng's order, the Tiance Army's unique extinguishing flag was suddenly erected high, and a blood-red extinguishing character was printed on the black flag, which looked so murderous in the cold early spring.

At this time, the siege army was about to rush to the city, and Li Shimin on the city wall couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw this, and turned to a personal soldier beside him and said, "Have the bricks, wood, mud and gold juice prepared by the previous orders been distributed in place?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin can rest assured that it has been distributed long before the enemy army attacks the city, and it is also equipped with a slap pole and a pole to deal with the enemy's ladder. The personal soldier bowed his hand to Li Shimin, explained the situation one by one, and was about to say a few more words, when he saw a personal soldier hurriedly running over and said to Li Shimin: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qin, the enemy's siege vehicle is about to arrive at the city gate." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly ran towards the battlements above the city gate, only to see a simple siege vehicle slowly driving towards the Puzhou city gate, surrounded by a group of soldiers holding shields and waiting for battle.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin knew very well that if the siege vehicle was allowed to travel to the city gate, relying only on the current defensive strength in the city, if the city gate was breached, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

With Li Shimin's order, there were already archers who twisted the ignited arrows and shot at the siege vehicles that were slowly marching under the city, who knew that after the arrows were shot, they were either resisted by the soldiers holding shields, or they were shot on the siege vehicles and were bounced off.

When he was at a loss, he saw a personal soldier running quickly and shouting: "Your Royal Highness King Qin, an army suddenly appeared on the flank of the enemy army under the city, and it was killing the enemy army, but I don't know if it was the arrival of reinforcements." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin quickly grabbed the battlements and looked down, only to see a cavalry team quickly tearing open the flank of Lu Chongmao's army like a hot knife cutting into butter, and behind this cavalry was a group of infantry closely following, and the results of the battle continued to expand. And at the end of this team, a large flag was raised high, and there was no pattern on it, just a large bright red letter.

Li Shimin immediately grabbed an archer beside him and asked, "Let's see what the words on that banner are?" ”

I saw that the archer looked at the big flag in the distance for a long time, and then turned around and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, there is only one word 'extinguished' on the flag." Hearing the words of this archer, Li Shimin said excitedly: "Are you sure you are not mistaken?

"Your Highness, my subordinates are sure that they are not mistaken, it is indeed a word of extinction. Because this archer was a local defender of Puzhou City, he didn't know about the Tiance Army's extinguishing flag, and Li Shimin learned that it was the arrival of the Tiance Army, and his heart suddenly fell.

On the battlefield, Chu Mofeng brandished the Burning Sky and rushed all the way with the Second Battalion of Heavenly Killing and Heavenly Spear, and was soon noticed by the cavalry team in Lu Chongmao's army that had not moved for a long time, and saw the leader say to the commander: "General, there are people who are stirring up trouble on the flank, and my subordinates will bring people to meet them for a while." After speaking, he turned over and shouted: "The cavalry team comes with me." ”

I saw three hundred cavalry rushing towards the direction of Chu Mofeng's march with this person, and Chu Mofeng, who was in charge of charging and killing at this time, had already noticed the abnormal movement on the battlefield, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Zhao Xin, Qian Jin, follow this commander to lead the cavalry on the opposite side away, so as not to impact our infantry." ”

After finishing speaking, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly and rushed towards the cavalry, while the second battalion of Heavenly Killing and Heavenly Spear behind him quickly followed, and rushed forward with Chu Mofeng.

Seeing the black-armored cavalry on the opposite side rushing towards him, the cavalry commander smiled hideously, thinking that it was just right to come, and he was worried that there was no military merit in this battle, and the war horse armor of these people was of the best quality at a glance, and after killing these people, he used these materials to arm his cavalry team.

Thinking of this, the man shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Sons, do you like the equipment of those cubs on the other side?"

When everyone saw the horses of the cavalry on the opposite side and the armor and weapons on their bodies, they all showed greed on their faces and excitedly shouted: "I like it, I like it." ”

"Kill them if you like, and snatch them up!" the commander laughed and urged his horse forward, as if he could obediently hand over his equipment as soon as he was in front of the people opposite.

Seeing that the two teams were getting closer and closer, Chu Mofeng casually took out a ring dart from his arms, and shook it at the sky, only to see the sound of the dart mixed with a terrible sound resounding in the sky, and the army of Lu Chongmao who was besieging the city heard this sound for unknown reasons, and the soldiers of the Tiangong Battalion who rushed to kill with the teams of Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin, as soon as they heard this voice, they turned their horses' heads one after another under the command of Li Jian, and drew an arrow in unison, only to hear Li Jian look ahead, and then shouted: "Three hundred and fifty steps ahead, throw." ”

Immediately, he saw a rain of arrows covering the cavalry team charging on the opposite side, and after Chu Mofeng heard the sound of sharp arrows leaving the string, he immediately shouted: "All of them, quickly turn to the south." After saying that, he pulled the reins on the left, and the horse under his crotch quickly turned to the left side as soon as he was in pain, and ran towards the south with Chu Mofeng on horseback.

The soldiers of the second battalion of the Heavenly Killing and Heavenly Spear behind him turned to the south in unison according to the requirements of ordinary training, and just after the last soldier of the Tiance Army turned to the end, the galloping arrow rain in the sky fell on Lu Chongmao's cavalry.

Hearing a series of screams, Lu Chongmao's cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and for a while it was not lively for people to turn over on their backs, and the commander who led the charge gritted his teeth when he saw this, his eyes locked on Chu Mofeng's figure, and shouted loudly: "Don't care about those archers and infantry, follow the cavalry of the general to quickly pursue the enemy, once the cavalry is destroyed, those infantry will not be able to make any waves." With that, he shook his horse's head and chased after him to the south.

Seeing that his companions were killed by bows and arrows, the rest of the cavalry chased after the commander with blood-red eyes, Chu Mofeng, who was running wildly all the way, turned his head and looked, and couldn't help but be ecstatic, as long as the cavalry did not attack Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin's team, then this battle would be half the victory.

This is not to say that the teams of Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin can't deal with just three hundred cavalry, but at this time, the soldiers of the two are rapidly tearing apart the enemy formation, and once the enemy cavalry joins, it will inevitably cause certain obstacles to the infantry of the two, thus increasing casualties.

Due to the previous sniping of the enemy cavalry by arrows, it was delayed for some time, and at this time, it had already opened a large distance with the Tiance army led by Chu Mofeng, and seeing that it had not been able to catch up, the commander couldn't help but be a little anxious, so he had to use a horse whip to frantically whip his horse under his hip. When Chu Mofeng, who was far ahead, looked back and watched, he had already calculated the distance between the two teams in his heart, and shouted behind him at this time: "The whole army turns, follow me to face the enemy head-on." ”

After saying that, he turned his horse's head twice in succession, quickly turned himself to face the enemy, and then raised his hand to burn the sky and rushed towards the enemy on the opposite side.

When the enemy army behind him saw the cavalry on the opposite side suddenly turn and rush in their own direction, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the sight of the enemy being turned on their backs by the person they killed seemed to appear in their eyes, and they couldn't help laughing and rushed towards Chu Mofeng's side.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the opponent's commander, the commander drew the long knife at his waist and raised it high, in a vain attempt to slash the opponent's commander off the horse when the second horse was wrong.

I saw that when the two horses were staggered, the enemy commander slashed down the long knife raised high at Chu Mofeng, and the blade struck Chu Mofeng's head with gusts of wind, and the corners of the mouth of Chu Mofeng on the opposite side rose slightly, and his right hand held the burning sky horizontally and drew a half-arc above his head from left to right, only to hear a loud 'bang', and suddenly a light flew high after the weapons intersected.

I saw Chu Mofeng wave lightly, and the long knife of the cavalry commander on the opposite side could not compete with the burning sky made of meteorite iron outside the sky, and it was broken into two, the cavalry commander looked at the broken knife in his hand in a daze, and he was at a loss for a while, and Chu Mofeng's battlefield purpose was to 'take advantage of your illness to kill you', and after the burning sky in his hand was collected, he quickly twitched at this person's head.

I saw that the burning sky was pumped on the head of the cavalry commander on the opposite side with the momentum of wind and thunder, and immediately knocked this person off the horse, and saw that after falling to the ground, the red and white flowed out, and Chu Mofeng didn't look at it anymore, and rushed forward with his legs between the horse's belly.

As soon as they saw that the local commander was dead, the Tiance army suddenly became murderous, and set off a bloody storm in the enemy cavalry team with maces and spears.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng pushed away the cover of the helmet and said to Zhao Xin and Qian Jin: "Collect the enemy's armor, weapons, horses, and property together, and after the battle is over, the property Tiance Army will divide it equally, and hand over all the rest of the materials." ”

Hearing that there was money, the soldiers of the Heavenly Killing and Heavenly Spear Battalions searched one by one regardless of their own colors, if it weren't for Chu Mofeng's order not to let the corpses go, these people were eager to load the corpses and take them back.

After some looting, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised, it turned out that this cavalry team was one of the few cavalry under Lu Chongmao's command, in view of knowing the importance of cavalry, Lu Chongmao rewarded these people quite generously, from small coins to gold, silver and jewelry.

Who knew that this time they encountered the Tiance army armed to the teeth, which was considered to be cheaper than the Tiance army, and everyone found a lot of treasures from the corpses and the jackets of the mounts, and Zhao Xin and Qian Jin were responsible for collecting them, and they were ready to register the appraisal after returning to the city.

At this time, Chu Mofeng took out another dart from his arms and shook it lightly at the sky, while Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, who were still rushing to kill in the north, heard the sound and couldn't help but glance at each other, only to see Qin Qiong slash a stabbing spear and shout at the field: "Everyone, hurry up, the battle has ended on Grandpa Guo's side, and the rest is up to us." ”

Seeing that the form on the battlefield was not beneficial to his side, the general in charge of leading the team of Lu Chongmao's department stopped the idea of sending the phalanx again, and shouted angrily: "The whole army retreats, retreat quickly, and don't care about those people on the field." After saying that, he fled the battlefield first, and the soldiers of Lu Chongmao's army, who had never been in battle, saw that the commander had fled, and hurriedly fled the battlefield.

At this time, Chu Mofeng had already led the Tiance army under his command to block the enemy's way, and Li Shimin, who was watching the battle in the city, shouted when he saw this: "Come and follow this king out of the city to retreat from the enemy." After speaking, he quickly ran down the city, gathered troops to open the gate of Puzhou City, and led the team to rush out.

Because Li Shimin led the team to join the battlefield, the pressure of Lu Chongmao's army increased sharply, and a farcical siege ended abruptly with the destruction of Lu Chongmao's army.

I saw Li Shimin ask excitedly: "I didn't send a messenger, how do you know that Lu Chongmao sent troops to attack the city? Could it be that you are really a clever plan?"

"Fart's clever calculation, if it weren't for the fact that the master found out that you came to Puzhou, it is estimated that I would have to collect your body today. Chu Mofeng glanced at Li Shimin, and said angrily: "Hurry back to the city to give the master some food and drink, this way to starve to death." ”

Everyone on the field laughed when they heard this, and at this time, Chu Mofeng said to everyone: "In order to prevent the enemy from suddenly returning and quickly cleaning up the battlefield, our corpses were transported back to the city, and the corpses of the enemy were buried on the spot. After speaking, he followed Li Shimin into Puzhou City.

As soon as he entered the city, Chu Mofeng did not look for food and drink first, but met Li Yuan for the first time, and learned that it was Chu Mofeng who led his troops to rush thousands of miles to rescue, Li Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears, patted Chu Mofeng's shoulder and said, "What do you want me to say about you? are all people who are about to become fathers, once you have something wrong, how do you let me explain to Feng'er and them?"

"The kid thanked His Majesty for worrying, but the kid has always been used to rushing and killing, and besides, I heard that His Majesty is here, and the kid has to come to the rescue no matter what. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng smiled and said to Li Yuan: "I don't know if Your Majesty can give the kid a sip of wine to drink, I am indeed a little thirsty all the way." ”

Seeing this, Li Yuan laughed out loud, and shouted to the person in charge of serving in the hall: "Didn't you hear that Qi Guogong asked for wine? Hurry up and give some good wine to Qi Guogong." The people below turned around and retreated, and after a while, they came over with a jar of wine, only to see Chu Mofeng pat open the mud seal and wink at Li Yuan, Li Yuan then said coldly: "Stand down, I have something to say to Qi Guogong, if anyone dares to eavesdrop, they will not be forgiven." ”

Everyone present said goodbye in unison, and after everyone left, Li Yuan walked down quickly, picked up the two jade bowls on the table and put them in front of Chu Mofeng, Chu Mofeng filled the two bowls knowingly, and then raised a bowl and handed it to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, please." ”

I saw that Li Yuan took the bowl and didn't drink it, but said earnestly: "Boy, this is Fenjiu, authentic Fenjiu, every time I drink this wine, I think that most of Guanzhong is still under the control of Liu Yi, which makes me feel a little sad, and this wine has no taste to drink." ”

Knowing the meaning of Li Yuan's words, Chu Mofeng took another bowl and poured it beautifully and said, "Your Majesty, you can drink your wine with peace of mind, as for the matter of Guanzhong, there are two princes and boys who come out, and they will definitely solve the big trouble in your heart." ”

Li Yuan also knew that once Chu Mofeng made a promise, he would definitely be able to do it, so he was overjoyed at the moment, brought the bowl in his hand to his lips, and poured it down.

A jar of wine, an old man and a young man drank for nearly an hour, and the two of them, who were slightly drunk, were sitting under the hall at the moment, just sitting in disregard of their image, only to see Li Yuan smile and say: "If this is seen by the living house, I have to make a note of it." ”

"Your Majesty, if you pacify Liu Yiwu Zhou this time, I think it is time to start the Eastern Crusade, and I hope that Your Majesty will strengthen your faith and not listen to the words of others. Chu Mofeng, who was sitting on the ground, stretched out his hand and patted Li Yuan's shoulder, and said with a little melancholy.

"Cheng, I promise you here that you will preside over the Eastern Crusade at that time, and you will use whoever you say, don't forget that you are my hussar general, this battle can be fought for me, don't let me lose face. Li Yuan didn't care at all about patting himself on the shoulder in front of this kid, after all, this kid has been unswervingly following him since he was still the palace eunuch of Jinyang and Taiyuan stayed, if he didn't have a son, he would inevitably accept him as a righteous son, but now it's not bad to become his son-in-law.

Chu Mofeng said to Li Yuan with a smile: "As the saying goes, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, but Your Majesty is a gentleman among gentlemen, and you can't go back on this word even if you have sixteen horses." ”

At this time, Li Yuan shouted outside the door: "King Xuanqin came in to see me, and by the way, bring two more jars of wine to Duke Qi." I only heard the person outside the door answer, and after a while, Li Shimin walked in with two jars of wine, and saw an old man and a young man sitting on the ground with a slightly drunk expression, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny in my heart. Hurriedly closed the door and walked quickly to Li Yuan, knelt down and said, "The son sees his father." ”

Who knew that Li Yuan said with a smile: "There is only one father here, a son, and a son-in-law, where is the father and emperor, take a bowl and sit down, today our father and son will not return if they are not drunk." ”

Seeing Chu Mofeng winking at him, Li Shimin instantly realized, hurriedly took a jade bowl and sat on the ground, poured the wine in the altar in turn, and then the three of them pushed the cup again and changed it......

As the saying goes, family affection cannot be given up no matter what, a simple banquet made Li Shimin quickly regain an important position in Li Yuan's heart, and watched Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng fight on the battlefield, and finally pacify the rebellion in Guanzhong......
