Luo Shixin and his generals stood tall on their horses, looking at Tongguan from afar, with an army of 150,000 behind them.

Tongguan was not set up in the Eastern Han Dynasty before, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao in order to prevent the rebellion in the west of the Guanxi, only in the first year of Jian'an began to set up Tongguan.

Tongguan is named after water, "the river flows south in the Guan, Tongjiguan Mountain, because it is called Tongguan." ”

There is the Qinling Barrier in the south, there is the Yellow River moat in the north, there is the year in the east, there is the natural defense line that crosses the east and west, such as the forbidden ditch, the original Wanggou, the Manluo River, etc., and it is bound to become "close the door and choke Kyushu, and the birds can not pass".

However, the so-called checkpoints are just people's success.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and the wind blew the handsome flag hunting.

Luo Shixin looked at the Yellow River in the distance, where there were faint warships.

"Dashuai, the Yellow River goes up the river, you can go to Chang'an, although Li Valve is prosperous, after all, the time is still shallow, and most of the Guanzhong Naval Division has been brought to the south with Emperor Yang of Sui, although Li Valve has worked hard to operate, looting boats, but the Naval Division has half of us? Xu Shiji took a step forward and said: "With our army and sailors, Chang'an will not be able to draw a single soldier and a general to support the others, so Hanzhong is just around the corner." ”

Just this sentence shows Xu Shiji's insight.

Luo Shixin looked at the checkpoint in the distance, his eyes were complicated, and he said: "As soon as the pass falls, the world will be peaceful, and all the people will be prosperous, it is really fast, the generals will fight hard to make meritorious deeds and seal their wives and sons." The generals immediately responded together.

And almost at the same time, in Hanzhong.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Six city breakers slowly rolled out, each with hundreds of people pushing, and the sound of military orders and drums, the murderous aura filled the entire battlefield.

The total number of horsemen was 6,000, divided into three teams, each with 2,000 horses, and they were neatly arranged in front of the formation. If necessary, it can be Shi Zhixuan and Song Que, and even the location of Yang Xuanning's Tiger Ce Imperial Cavalry.

The shield spear array of the long lixu formed a phalanx, all dressed in paper armor, densely packed and all one, under the inventory of the city. There are sixteen phalanxes, which are slowly advancing.

The army in the city, how could he have seen such an amazing scene, and he was terrified for a while, after all, Li Valve's elite was only ten thousand. Although it expanded, the elite, especially the elite of loyalty and death, could not increase in a short period of time, and most of them were in Chang'an, or the expedition led by Li Shimin. Although Li Valve knew the importance of Hanzhong, the elite who remained in Hanzhong was only 2,000. The other tens of thousands, all of them new recruits, have been trained for months, but in the end the time is still shallow.

Staring at Li Xiaogong in the city, Yang Xuanning gave an order: "Where is Li Jing?"

"The minister is here. ”

"When the opportunity is in place, it will be commanded by Qing, so that I can see the generals. ”

"Thanksgiving for obeying the order!" Li Jing knelt down to thank him and took over the handsome power. Suddenly, a series of orders were issued.

After a while.

"Boom, boom!" Six earth-shaking loud noises, a boulder weighing 800 catties, came out of thin air, on the city wall, and even inside the city. Although Hanzhong City is strong, it is also immediately covered with dust. Splash rubble.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of people outside the city cheered together, which was deafening.

The stone breaker was in the direction, Shuai Qi commanded, and attacked fiercely at the beginning, and every two planes were concentrated on one point, and there was not much time, inside and outside the city, dozens of thick smoke rose and flames were faintly seen.

"Dirt cart advance!"

"Trebuchets go hand in hand with stone and fire. ”

The so-called earthen wagons, which were earthen tanks, with thick earth on top and pushed below, and thousands of servants (many of whom were rebels) carrying sand and dirt on their backs were ready fifty meters beyond the reach of bows and arrows in the city.

The first step of siege warfare is to "fill in the trench", so the earth-cart slowly advances, connecting Jackie Chan, these soldiers, through the earth-cart under and straight to the deep trench, although the above arrows rain like clouds, but most of them are resisted, only the city rolls down the flint, can pose a threat to the earth-cart, however, the servants desperately back and forth, has begun to fill the gap in the middle of the river.

And ordinary trebuchets are not so precious, and the craftsmen in the army can even build them while fighting, hundreds of trebuchets, in a group of ten, throw dozens of catties of stones together, as well as oil and fire from nearby people's homes.

These trebuchets, although a single threat to the city wall is not big, but can not stand a large number, and the city wall is a great threat to the people, the high altitude and the thrown stones, a note, often several people screamed and injured or even died, as for those oil fires, it is to make the city wall, the city fire again and again, causing the defenders to run for their lives.

However, the city breakers were broken one by one until the afternoon.

Although the city is well prepared, as long as there is time, it can be repaired, but Li Jing will allow this respite in the city, the war drums are intertwined, and the Yang Tang army, with 10,000 people as a side, each army is divided into three batches, and launched a continuous attack on the weak point of the gap, and when one legion is exhausted, the other legion will immediately advance.

Li Xiaogong's army, forming the Great Wall of flesh and blood, resisted stubbornly to the death, blocked from the gap, Li Xiaogong wore a battle robe, led hundreds of personal soldiers, and constantly dispatched troops to adjust the war.

On the high platform, the three of them drank tea, as if the war in front of them had nothing to do with it.

"It's a pity that the city breaker supports such a boulder, it is really unusable, if there are twenty of them, you can break this city. Song Que looked at the battlefield and sighed to himself.

"Although the city breaker is good, but the Shu road is difficult, and I can transport six planes, which is already rare. Yang Xuanning said with a wry smile.

"The upper army is plotting, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city, but in fact, His Majesty first uses the war to get its strategy, and then to cut the enemy, divide its Li Valve's troops, and the third and the army, and collect 160,000 to attack its 50,000, but it is still necessary to attack the city and break through the city, which can be regarded as victory, otherwise, it will be useless. Thousands of calculations, but it is necessary to succeed. Shi Zhixuan said indifferently.

At this time, Shi Zhixuan was sitting on the high platform, drinking tea slowly, and wearing armor, but he didn't feel a little murderous, his expression was calm, as if he didn't mind everything, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This is Shi Zhixuan, who had no flaws in his heyday, although Yang Xuanning asked himself that he had reached the grandmaster, but compared to Shi Zhixuan, it was still a little worse. If it is a solo confrontation, Shi Zhixuan has the phantom body method and the immortal seal method, but he is afraid that he will still be defeated and surrender.

But as an emperor, he has the power to design a trap and take action himself. There is also a sixty percent chance of killing Shi Zhixuan.

Just, why bother?

There are not many elite soldiers in Hanzhong, but there is enough food, if it is only besieged and not attacked, the grain storage in the city can last for a year and a half. The second is that if Li Shimin breaks through Xue Rengao and leads 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry, it will be reduced from active to passive, although it will not be defeated, but the Turks and Li Zhu are one. It's hard to get hold of it easily.

Of course, Li Jing was well aware of this principle, and at the beginning he adopted the strategy of besieging from three sides, first attacking three points with a city-breaking machine. so that the 50,000 troops in the city immediately had to divide into three groups and defend the broken and weak points.

The "arrow tower" slowly advanced to the main point, not only can you peek at the situation in the city from a high place, but also can send arrows to assist, dozens of arrow towers. Although it may seem like a small attack, the threat and casualties caused by it are very large over time.

"The two of them, there has been no rest in the city, and they have been divided into elite soldiers and mediocre soldiers. Can the two of you take a master into battle?" Yang Xuanning said.

From morning to afternoon, and into the afternoon. The attack never stopped, and the ordinary soldiers in the city were exhausted, but only some elite soldiers and good hands were still holding on.

In the army, whether there is a backbone or not is a completely different matter.

"Well, of course, this is the last battle. After speaking, Shi Zhixuan got up, at this time, he was already the master of most of the demon gates, naturally he was not a master, even An Long was among them, this person was a big fat man, and he was also very nondescript when he wore armor.

Shi Zhixuan personally went into battle, attacked the city wall, just one of them, he killed more than 100 enemies, the people killed, are the backbone of the army, suddenly everywhere he went, the army's heart was chaotic, and finally saw the soldiers swarming, Li Xiaogong led the masters in the city to rush, he laughed, and led the personnel to withdraw.

After that, Song Que led the team.

After a few games, it was already dusk, but it was visible due to the heavy flames and smoke inside and outside the city.

Arrows and stones were thrown at each other inside and outside the city like locusts, and countless people screamed and rolled, and life was no different from ants in this kind of battle.

Watching the fierce resistance in the city, Yang Xuanning realized in his heart, and when the two came back, he said: "The two of you don't have to attack, you can directly lead 2,000 troops to search around, and Li Shimin is here." ”

When Song Que heard this, his eyes shot out a divine light, and then he looked up to the sky and smiled: "The Holy Lord really has everything in his heart, and no one can find out your mastery, so the minister will lead the cavalry, as well as my good hands to search around." ”

Shi Zhixuan also understood, and said with a sigh: "The saint is really good, and people with a discerning eye can see that the city will be broken within a few days, but if it is still so fiercely resistant, it will be held, and the only one who holds it is Li Shimin." ”

"It's not necessarily, but if you are prepared, I am thinking, I am Li Shimin, how can I fight for a glimmer of life?"

"In terms of military strength, Li Valve's soldiers are simply pinned down in various places, and Li Shimin is not the emperor, he has the ability to reach the sky, and he can't transfer more Chang'an troops, so the only way is to borrow the soldiers of Hujiao and the Turkic soldiers. ”

"Although Hu Jiao's vitality is greatly damaged, but at this opportunity of life and death, it is still possible to borrow a thousand warrior monks, and the Turks, not a dog raised by Li Valve, can borrow if they want, transfer if they want, and have Xue Rengao to stop them, but they have exhausted all means to transfer 2,000 to 3,000 cavalry, it is still possible, plus Li Shimin's own organization of 1,000 Xuanjia cavalry, and all the strength that can be deployed, the scale is about 6,000 elite soldiers. ”

"Li Shimin'an doesn't know the current situation? As soon as the pass is broken, Tongguan is difficult to defend, our army is driven in by hundreds of thousands, there is no need to fight, Li Valve is already finished, and now the situation is only to take a risk, leave the army and Xue Rengao to confront him, and make every effort to deploy elite troops, and pounce directly on me, if I can break through in one fell swoop, then there will be a glimmer of life. ”

"But I have tens of thousands of troops, good generals are like clouds, and strategists are like rain, can An easily break through me?"

"The only chance is that I will attack the city day and night, although the army can take turns, but after all, I am tired, such as waiting for the city to be broken, entering the city and fighting, when I am unprepared for the great victory, the surprise army attacks, and I am broken in one fell swoop. ”

"I think about it, there is only this possibility, whether it is or not, the two Qing families, each with a master and cavalry, can search the vicinity. ”

"I have a lot of soldiers. The cavalry was supposed to deal with this matter, even if I guessed wrong, it would only make the cavalry work a little harder, and it would not damage the overall situation. ”

Both listened in silence. They had also seen Yang Xuanning before.

At that time, the young Tsing Yi was out of the dust, but he was graceful and suave, and he was unparalleled in his learning for a while, and he was amazingly beautiful.

But at this time. This man, who is only twenty years old, talks with him on the high platform, and between his words, his body is clean. The eyes are faint, and the indescribable bearing of that moment is dominating the world. The generosity of everything is me, and the wisdom and calmness of its heart are unpredictable and integrated, between understatements, talking about the world's major events, all grasped in the heart, as if the beings of heaven and earth are just the same as the lines in the palms, turning their hands into clouds. Covering hands is rain, and heroes in the world, such as Li Shimin, are just playthings in their hands.

Even Song Que and Shi Zhixuan couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

The two of them stepped back. Shi Zhixuan shook his head and sighed and said, "Li Valve has already lost!"

Song Que was silent, as if he was thinking. Then he nodded and agreed: "Now that the general trend has been decided, to turn the tide of the war, there is only a surprise soldier, the saint has been prepared, and naturally there is nothing to do, even if there is no us, as long as the camp is prepared, it will be difficult to work." ”

Shi Zhixuan pondered for a moment and said with a sneer: "It doesn't matter if Li Shimin doesn't come, if he really comes, if he wants to go back, how can it be so easy?" Brother Song, why don't we sum it up and how to catch them all." ”

Song Que sighed faintly and nodded yes.

The moonlight is like water, falling from the sky, the river in the distance, meandering and rushing, the light wave dots, the mountains and forests are lush, the stone gap is flowing spring, and the waterfall is on the wall, which adds a lot of interest to this deep mountain and poor valley.

And under the city, the sound of killing shouted to the sky, countless people sacrificed their lives to forget their lives, screams, screams, and dying moans were everywhere.

Extremely static and extremely moving, one side is distinct, like a dream.

Yang Xuanning froze and did not move, the world was already in hand, and no one could disobey him.

To be realistic, the passage just now is not a reference to history, but is really the embodiment of his personal qualities and strategy, and before the great victory, he was aware of the enemy's glimmer of life.

Just now, although it was all speculation, it seemed that he had already grasped the universe of heaven and earth, and what he said must be the truth.

Seeing the expressions of the two, I realized that before I knew it, I had come to an unimaginable point in my previous life.

When I read it back then, Li Shimin, Song Que, Shi Zhixuan, and Shi Feixuan were all unattainable characters, they were like the sea, like the abyss, like the mountains, only far away to imagine their demeanor now, but they have been above it.

At this time, even if he starts from scratch and has no foreknowledge, he is confident that he will rise to the top of the world and win the country.

When the two left, they remembered some history, which confirmed their thoughts even more.

Regardless of history or this world, Li Shimin competed for the throne, and Li Jiancheng actually took the same strategic path as Yang Xuanning that day, he was the crown prince, whether it was to attract people's hearts or to install people, he had a great advantage.

Li Jiancheng is also in the officialdom, the court, prestige, and military power, step by step, Li Shimin's military power has been divided, the old ministers in the palace have been broken up, the ministers have avoided it, and the father and emperor have hated it, whether in the court, the court, or the father, they have an absolute advantage.

As far as private soldiers are concerned, Li Jiancheng has 3,000 Donglin troops, and Li Yuanji also has 800 soldiers, Li Shimin at that time, the entire army of Tiance Mansion was only 300 soldiers, and in this absolutely disadvantaged situation, Li Shimin did not bow down to the vassals, but launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, after killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he forced Li Yuan to abdicate and Li Shimin ascended the throne.

"The Eighteenth Biography of the Old Tang Dynasty": "On June 4, Jiancheng died, Jingde led seventy horsemen to follow, Yuanji walked the horse and ran eastward, and shot left and right and fell from the horse. The horse that Taizong rode escaped under the forest, and was horizontally covered, and he could not be prosperous. Yuan Ji came to seize the bow, and he wanted to choke each other, and Jingde jumped on the horse, so he walked away, wanting to return to the Wude Palace, and Jingde ran to shoot it. ”

It can be seen from this article that the actual number of people who killed Jiancheng and Yuanji should be about eighty-one people, including Tang Taizong, in fact, Tang Taizong at that time was very dangerous, and his failure to die was just some accident.

"Zizhi Tongjian Volume 191": "Completed, Yuanji to Linhu Palace, Jue Change, that is, Bama East returns to the palace." The people of the world called for it, and Yuanji shot the people with a bow, and again and again, the people shot and killed them. Wei Chi Jingde followed the seventy horsemen, and shot Yuan Ji from the horse left and right. The people of the world escaped into the forest, and it was a place of wood branches, and they could not get up when they fell. Yuan Ji arrived, the bow will be choked, and the prancing horse will be respected. Yuan Ji stepped to find fun in the Wude Palace, and Jingde pursued and killed him. ”

It also shows that Li Shimin launched a coup d'état at that time, but it was only a hundred people.

This has fully made future generations understand that Li Shimin had reached the point of desperation at that time.

Once led a million troops, the good generals in the house are like clouds, the strategists are like rain, and the warriors are like the generals of the forest and Tiance, at that time, the father and the emperor have abandoned it, the ministers have avoided it, and the subordinates have betrayed their relatives and left, and there are not many dead soldiers.

But at this time, with just a hundred people in the house, the Xuanwumen Rebellion was launched and history was changed.

Li Shimin was calm, and the ruthlessness of the crazy gambling that pressed the lives of the whole family and all his subordinates had been exposed, so Li Shimin, he must come this time, thinking of this, he sneered and said: "If you want to take risks, I will let you lose cleanly, and summon me to Jinyi and the second department of the factory and guard."
