According to Li Rushan's guess, the guards of the Seventeen Cities had made a move at least ten days ago, but they didn't know what the reason was, and he, the emperor, didn't receive any information.

Now Tang Jingcheng has been besieged by the enemy's army, and although 80,000 people can't get in, it's enough to make it difficult for them to get out.

Now Li Rushan can only pin his hopes on the border army, if the border army can quickly retreat part of it, then the siege of Tang Jingcheng will be lifted immediately.

What Tang Jingcheng has to do now is only to defend with all his might, and in terms of Tang Jingcheng's city defense, the enemy will definitely not be able to break through in a short period of time.

Moreover, there are still many city guards who are on the side of the imperial court, and these people are already preparing to assemble and fight for the emperor after learning that Tang Jingcheng was besieged.

..............................

A few days later, Ye Li received the news that Tang Jingcheng was besieged, and Ye Li gathered all the backbones under his command.

"What do you think about this?"

After informing everyone of the news, Ye left the mouth to ask.

All his subordinates frowned at this moment, and Ding Si said: "My lord, we must send troops to rescue, we have received news that the Xuanwu Army Xuancheng has rebelled, seized his uncle's military power, and led the troops to start sweeping the defenders of the cities who have gathered and want to help."

The hero of the town army Bian Hero hid with the remnants of his troops, and sent someone to deliver a secret letter before, and they were in the Wushou Mountain, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

The current situation is that the reinforcements from outside have been unable to reach Tang Jingcheng for a long time, and Tang Jingcheng is besieged by 80,000 troops, and even the city gate cannot be opened.

However, the 80,000 army can't take Tang Jingcheng for a while, and with their strength, they should not be able to destroy Tang Jingcheng's defenses.

Unless the other party still has hidden manpower that has not been used, only more than 100,000 troops besieging Tang Jingcheng can pose a threat to Tang Jingcheng's city defense. ”

Ding Si said that in the end, the worried expression on his face was slightly reduced.

Ye Li nodded and said, "In other words, it is very difficult to break through Tang Jingcheng, so we will have time to think about it in the long run." ”

Huo Xing frowned and said, "No, in fact, in addition to the siege of the city by an army of more than 100,000, the other party also has two ways to break through the city gate.

The first is to attack with a master of the Fu Saint level, and the Shadow Fu Saint we saw before should be one of the means prepared by the other party.

If Ding Si had warned His Majesty about this, His Majesty would have been on guard, with the strength of the Tiankui Fu Sheng, the possibility of the Shadow Fu Saint wanting to sneak attack and break through the city gate defense was too small.

As for the second method, it is to use the siege artifact dragon chariot.

With the power of the dragon chariot, it will surely be able to smash the city gates.

When the ancestor emperor made the dragon chariot, it was to deal with the enemy, and later after solving the enemy, the dragon chariot also became a threat to the Tang capital.

Because as long as you have a dragon chariot, even a force of 40,000 people can also break through the Tang capital.

In order to guard against this, the Ancestral Emperor transported eight dragon chariots to Jinzhu City in the south and Huiyuan City in the west for secret placement.

These dragon chariots are the strongest siege force in my Tang Kingdom, and they were created at a huge cost, and they were originally intended to be used against the enemy, but if the enemy also knew about the dragon chariots, it would definitely be possible to find the dragon chariots, and borrow their power to forcibly open the gate of Tang Jingcheng. ”

Hearing Huo Xing's words, the faces of the people around him showed a look of surprise.

Ye Li had never heard of the existence of the dragon chariot, while others had heard of it somewhat.

It's just that the age of the dragon car is too old, and everyone can't think of going here for a while.

"Yes, there is also a dragon car, if the other party transports the dragon car to Tang Jingcheng, the city gate of Tang Jingcheng will not be able to resist the attack of the dragon car at all.

Without the strong defense capability of the city, the strength of the Praetorian Guard alone should not be able to withstand the impact of the 80,000-strong army.

In particular, there are a large number of Zhenzhong troops, this army is not only extremely strong in attack, but also very clear about the deployment in Tang Jingcheng, once it rushes into the city, the Praetorian Guard will not be able to resist it at all. ”

Ding Si understood, with an extremely worried look on his face, and looked at Ye Li.

Ye Li pondered for a while with a calm face, and said, "So the siege of the city by 80,000 troops is not too urgent, and the really urgent thing is not to let the other party transport the dragon chariot to Tang Jingcheng?"

Huo Xing nodded and said, "That's right, the dragon car will definitely not be able to go outside Tang Jingcheng, once it reaches outside Tang Jingcheng, Tang Jingcheng will be dangerous." ”

Ye Li said: "We don't know if the other party has gone to get the dragon car, and we can't give orders indiscriminately now, we have to get relevant information."

My plan is to mobilize the 3,000 cavalry regiment first, and we will go to the vicinity of Tang Jingcheng to find the remnants of Bian's predecessors.

At the same time, Ding Si, you send people out to investigate the situation of the dragon chariot, and once we find out that the other party has indeed dispatched the dragon chariot, we will have to find a way to intercept them. ”

Hearing Ye Li's order, everyone also knew that this was the most appropriate arrangement, and when they nodded, Ding Si quickly went down to deal with related matters.

Ye Li left Yin Lie behind and said, "Yin Lie, this is the real large-scale battle that the cavalry regiment will experience.

How strong they are in actual combat will be shown immediately after the collision with the regular legion. ”

Yin Lie said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, our cavalry regiment has long been ready for battle, as long as you give an order, you will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”

Ye Li nodded when he heard this, and said, "Let's go down and prepare, we will prepare to set off immediately and head to Tangjing City."

Our cavalry regiment has the ability to move that no cavalry regiment has, and I hope you can make good use of this to bring victory to this battle!"

When Yin Lie heard Ye Li's words, he bowed deeply and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we won't let you down!!"

After explaining the troops, Ye Li called Ding Si over again.

Ding Si had already arranged the manpower, and hurried to Jinzhu City and Huiyuan City separately, exploring the news about the dragon chariot along the way.

After all, the dragon chariot is a huge siege machine, because it cannot be disassembled and assembled, so it is very troublesome to transport, and it can only be pulled by horses, and then it can only be advanced by taking the official road continent.

There is only one official road leading from Jinzhu City and Huiyuan City to Tang Jingcheng, once the people sent out by Ding Si can see the dragon car on these two official roads, they can immediately report it, Ye Li sent them out for the purpose of not fighting, but to determine the situation of the dragon car.

Without delay, after Ye Li explained everything, he left Dongfang County with the cavalry regiment and began to rush towards Tang Jingcheng over the mountains.
