The eight-door Golden Lock Formation, among which the eight doors refer to Xiushang Shengdu, and the eight doors opened by Jing Shi, is a thaumaturgy of azimuths used by the ancients for the convenience of observing the right time and place, and it can be regarded as a strange door.
The eight-door golden lock formation that people are most familiar with is Cao Ren used this formation to block Liu Bei, and it was finally broken by Xu Shu.
But this formation is definitely not that simple. Later, Zhuge Liang developed the eight-formation diagram by improving the eight-door golden lock formation, not only relying on the eight-diagram formation to trap Lu Xun, but also defeated Sima Yi repeatedly.
but……
The problem is coming.
How do those Shiwei people know about advanced formations like the eight-door golden lock formation?
Although the people of the Central Plains are not xenophobic, they are definitely not stupid. How could it be possible to spread this kind of thing that can affect the outcome of a great war?
It is probably the limit to be able to give them a long snake array.
In other words, now the generals in the army, no matter how old or young they are, how many of them will arrange the eight-door golden lock array?
"Call Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Liu Bowen, and Yu Qian over here."
For Li Shimin, the eight-door golden lock array is already a bit beyond the outline.
He can break through the one-word long snake formation, but he may be powerless in the face of the eight-door golden lock formation.
"His Majesty!"
Not long after, the four of them came to the city wall and subconsciously observed the enemy's formation without using Li Shimin's size.
"Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation?"
Several people were equally astonished. This is almost an untaught secret in the art of war. It is usually passed on from master to apprentice, and it is taught as a unique move, and the apprentice must be given a great test before it is taught.
But Kanshiwei has mastered the proficiency of the big formation for a long time.
Guo Jia and the others looked at each other, and Qi Qi saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Help Dalang break the formation first."
"Yes!"
Just when the three of them were about to break the formation, three horsemen came running from a distance on flying horses.
"Your Majesty, the enemy has set up a large formation at the other three city gates, and the generals cannot break through them."
"Big array?"
Li Shimin frowned.
"Ming Jin let them come back first."
"Yes!"
"Several of you go to the remaining walls to have a look."
"Yes!"
Guo Jia stayed with Li Shimin, while Yu Qian, Jia Xu, and Liu Bowen went to each city wall.
At this time, Li Wenhao heard the sound of gold ringing on the tower, and forgot to look at it suspiciously. Looking at the enemy command platform not far away, he finally chose to trust Li Shimin, turned around the pier, and led people to kill towards the rear.
Fortunately, he has not entered the battle deeply now, and there are Jia Fu, Xu Chu, and Zen master Shi on the periphery, so the way back is not difficult.
"Your Highness, us?"
"Go back first."
Li Wenhao looked at the top of the city and said in a low voice, although the enemy's command system has not been destroyed, at least the siege of the city wall is lifted now, but it is only the north city wall, and the other three city walls may also be caught in a bitter battle .
"The three of you, go to support the other city walls, each lead troops to clean one side, and finally gather in the city."
Li Wenhao glanced at the 3000 people brought out behind him. I am afraid that more than [-] people have been killed in battle now, and the rest are all wounded. In the battle, they can only take their lives. The horse, because the charge is not deep, and it is all skillful, its combat effectiveness is still very strong.
"I'll go to the South Gate to support old General Qin Qiong."
"I'm going to Simon."
"I'm going to the east gate."
The three of them quickly divided their support targets, and rushed over according to their own targets.
Since Xu Chu was going to support the South Gate, he led his troops and followed Li Wenhao into the city and just walked along the road in the city.
The other two cleaned along the city wall.
After clearing out the enemies at the city gate, Li Wenhao was the last one to enter the city.
Waiting for him to climb the city wall, there was a trace of fatigue in his eyes. He hadn't rested for two consecutive days, and even led troops to fight two battles. Even a tough man couldn't stand it.
After all, he was not Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba was only responsible for killing people, and he also had to take care of making plans.
"Father, why are you calling gold?"
"look……"
Li Shimin pointed to the army formation formed by the enemy below the city, and motioned Li Wenhao to watch for himself.
"It's like, what the hell, it's..."
In fact, Li Wenhao didn't know what it was, but he just felt that the operation of the enemy's formation was very coordinated, and he felt that if he didn't retreat just now, he seemed to be trapped in the enemy's siege.
"This is?"
"The eight-door golden lock formation, or the eight-door golden lock formation that is proficient in its changes."
Guo Jia spoke solemnly.
"It's hard to break?"
"It's not difficult, but..."
"I see"
Li Wenhao slapped his forehead, "Who did they learn from?"
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the seriousness in their eyes. Li Wenhao suddenly turned his head and looked towards the city.
Suddenly Lu Wenzhao was called.
"From now on, people are not allowed to gather in Fanyang City. I will search every house, and seal all the tunnels, waterways, and dog lanes."
"One or three people form a group, controlled separately, remember everyone in the city, if you don't follow this, everyone will be imprisoned, serious ones will be killed on the spot."
"Your Highness, this..."
"Go!"
Li Wenhao didn't have time to explain to him, he just controlled the courtiers, but he seemed to have forgotten that the courtiers were just representatives of some families, and it didn't mean that being an official in the court was the absolute talker in the family.
"Also, call the Jinyiwei Command Posts in all the cities around Fanyang City, and ask them to join forces with Sima of the army in the city to take over the cities."
"Starting now, until the end of the war, all cities in Hebei Road will be closed unconditionally until the end of the war."
"Yes!"
According to Li Wenhao's instructions, Lu Wenzhao began to use Xinying to send out messages.
But at this time, Xu Chu, who had rode his horse to Nancheng, suddenly lost his horse's hooves and fell to the ground.
"Damn it, time to find a good horse."
Xu Chu said with some displeasure that the horse is the second life of the general, and the quality of the horse can largely represent the strength of the general.
For example, the famous general who left his name in history, isn't that horse under his crotch a one-in-a-million horse?
An emperor on horseback like Li Shimin has eight good horses in the world, which he calls eight horses.
"Old General Qin, can I borrow a war horse?"
Xu Chu's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Qiong on the city wall. The war horse under Qin Qiong's crotch was the first-class horse in the world. BMW can undoubtedly improve its combat power a lot.
"Invincible!"
Qin Qiong patted Hu Lei's horse's head lightly, whispered something in his ear, and then handed the horse to Xu Chu himself.
"General Xu, this war horse has fought against this old man for a lifetime, and this battle is now his last dance, right?"
Qin Qiong's expression was a little downcast. In the past, he was the one who charged on the horse, but now he borrowed the horse, which shows the sadness in his heart.
"Thank you!"
Xu Chu didn't say much when he got on the horse. He also knew that it was useless to talk more in this situation. The best reward was to kill and wound the enemy more.
"Everyone, follow a certain family."
Xu Chu took the lead and rushed to the front, his aura was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and he smashed the enemies surrounding the gate of the city to pieces.
"Quick fight."
Xu Chu roared and rushed towards the enemy's ladder first. Their purpose was to clean up the enemies under the city and destroy the enemy's ladder.
It may be that the enemy is really not good at siege warfare, or it may be because the enemy did not expect Li Wenhao to be so decisive and send people out to clean up the city wall when his troops are empty.
They couldn't stop Xu Chu and the others, and there was nothing they could do with them, even if they wanted to use bows and arrows, because they would hurt their own people first.
"hateful!"
The enemy commander standing on the podium cursed secretly, and continued to wave the command flag to let these Shiwei people attack.
"Prepare for the next step of the battle plan."
Facts have proved that the enemy is definitely not unprepared to come, and the formation just outside a few city gates is unusual.
Following the order of the enemy general, the enemy's army retreated like a tide, forming a large formation with sharp edges and corners, completely surrounding Fan Yangcheng.
"This……"
Li Shimin and Li Wenhao were completely dumbfounded. This kind of order and prohibition, to be honest, was only found in the absolute elite troops in the Tang Dynasty. How can a random foreign race be like this now?
"No, there must be an inner ghost among us. Who is it?"
Li Wenhao and Li Shimin looked at each other, they both had the same thought in their minds, someone definitely passed on the cultural treasures left over by the Han people for thousands of years.
Moreover, the most important military book was passed on.
As I said earlier, although the Tang Dynasty welcomes all nations to come and exchange cultures, no one would be stupid enough to pass on the art of war to foreigners, let alone the formation?
While the two were contemplating, Guo Jia also walked over with a solemn expression.
"Things are even worse than we thought. The enemy not only knows formations, but also connects the enemy troops outside the four city gates together."
"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is a picture drawn by Yu Qian, Liu Bowen, and Jia Xu. According to the picture, now, our Fanyang City is the core of this formation. We are surrounded by eight gates composed of tens of thousands of people Surrounded by the Golden Lock Formation"
"what?"
Li Shimin was taken aback, but Li Wenhao wasn't too surprised, after all, he didn't understand formations.
"It seems that they really came prepared."
"Not only that, Your Majesty, now, we may really have to fight the enemy for consumption."
"Your Majesty knows the power of the eight-door golden lock formation. If you want to break the formation, you must have a brave general. But now the enemy is a large formation with a middle formation, and a middle formation with a small formation. If we want to break the formation, at present In terms of the strength of the troops, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult."
"Me too?"
Li Wenhao asked stubbornly.
"No."
Faced with Guo Jia's shaking of the head, Li Wenhao was also helpless. His manpower would eventually run out. After all, Li Yuanba didn't really kill millions of anti-kings on Siping Mountain, it was just an exaggerated description.
"What should I do?"
Li Wenhao spread his hands.
"Stick and wait for help!"
Li Shimin and Guo Jia spoke at the same time.
They were afraid that Li Wenhao had never fought a defensive battle in his life, and if he rushed out on impulse, it would be troublesome.
"It's a pity that my Hebei army is not around, otherwise there are hundreds of thousands of barbarians in the district, what's the point?"
At this moment, Li Wenhao really wanted to pull Song Ci out for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, this is absolutely not acceptable. If Song Ci is really pulled out, I am afraid that Hebei will spend the next two years disposing of corpses, which is not in the interests of .
"Is there no other way?"
"Ran Min has already been sent back to his teacher in Goguryeo. Now that the enemy is powerful, I am going to let Li Cunxiao's Feihu battalion guard the outskirts of Yanshan Mountain, while Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan will directly return to help."
"how long?"
Guo Jia shook his head. Now the only news they can know is the place where the eyes can see. When they leave Fan Yang, they are blind and don't know what is going on outside Fan Yang. If the enemy's army spreads all the way, Yuan Chonghuan and Yue Fei may want to go back. Aid is also difficult.
"I am in the Yuyang Camp in the south of Fanyang City. There are also the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion. In addition to some reserves, there are also 20 soldiers and horses. These people are also capable soldiers."
The Five Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion can be said to be Li Wenhao's last cards. If the situation is not good, he can only resort to the last move, give up Fan Yang, and run away with his family and important officials around him.
Stick to Huaibi Pass, Yanmen Pass and the Valley of the Dead, cut off the Grand Canal, and trap the enemy in Hebei.
Of course, this is the last resort. If there is any hope, Li Wenhao will not give up Hebei. After all, he has managed Hebei for many years, and now he has built Hebei into the richest place in the world. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't feel sorry for him.
Just when Li Wenhao and others were preparing to meet the next wave of more violent attacks from the enemy, the enemy did not attack the city, but just surrounded Fan Yang, as if they were waiting for something, or they just wanted to trap Li Wenhao here, and have other purposes.
"What the hell are they trying to do?"
Looking at the brightly lit city, Li Wenhao rubbed his head helplessly. Now Li Changge and Ashinayun's stomachs are getting bigger day by day. He doesn't want his two children to be born in the flames of war.
"I know, I know!"
While Li Wenhao and Li Shimin were discussing important matters, Yu Qian stumbled in with Guo Jia and others.
"I know their goal. They don't want to fight Fan Yang at all. No, it should be said that they can fight if they can, and they can surround them if they can't. Their real goal is here."
Yu Qian pointed at the sand table, and seeing where Yu Qian was pointing, a group of people shook their heads in doubt.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, you see, if the enemy advances westward here, bypasses Yuyang, bypasses the Valley of the Dead, and turns to Datong, Xuanhua, and then enters Tongguan, then we will be in the Valley of the Dead, Huaibi Pass, including Hulao The defenses set up by Guan have no effect at all."
"The enemy, on the other hand, can use Tongguan as a springboard to go south. When the time comes to block the Yangtze River and block the Grand Canal, our Tang Dynasty will be directly divided into two by the enemy."
"And we don't have many soldiers in the south..."
"The thief dares!"
None of you here are fools. What Yu Qian said is obvious enough. At that time, the northern and southern imperial courts will come across the river. Such a pass, the initiative is also in the hands of the enemy in a disguised form.
"No."
"This is absolutely impossible, what can you do?"
"us……"
Guo Jia stammered half of what he said.
"Say, innocent,"
"I suspect that in addition to the purpose that Sir Yu said, the enemy may also want to occupy Guanzhong. After all, there are Hulao Pass and Tongguan. Their occupation of Guanzhong is almost equivalent to occupying the entire Longyou."
"Moreover, they can cut off our connection with the Western Conqueror Army. I'm afraid that nearly a million warriors from the Tang Dynasty will have to bury their bones elsewhere."
"Good! Good!"
"It's so ruthless!"
"I, Li Wenhao, didn't bother them, but instead they're giving us a world-wide attack?"
"Have Huihe and Tuyuhun made any moves now?"
"Forget it, whether they have it or not, they don't need to exist anymore."
"Lu Wenzhao, now, no matter what method you use, you must pass the news back to Chang'an."
"Secret my uncle as the head of the Guannei Road Marching Army."
"The Jinwu Guards, Qianniu Guards, and the leading guards in Chang'an City are all commanded by him. One purpose, within three days after receiving the news, a large army must be stationed in Tongguan."
"My Li family God of War, Li Xiaogong, sent an order to Bashu to tell him that it's time to come out from Shu to exercise."
"Let him command one hundred thousand troops to guard the Jiange Road for me."
"Order Li Shentong to let him use all the navy in Xiangfan to sail down the Yangtze River and block the mouth of the Grand Canal."
"I don't care, I am the Great Tang Dynasty, can I let such a small Shi Wei person be wiped out?"
"Your Highness, is it not appropriate to transfer the troops from Bashu and Xiangfan?"
"The army under Bai Qi's command was drawn from various armies."
"Besides, using the King Chu's long soldiers, I'm afraid..."
Jia Xu reminded carefully.
"It's okay, my uncle, I know it well, internal fighting is fine, but outsiders absolutely can't intervene."
"Add a sentence to the letter to my uncle. If Changge's first birth is a son, as long as it is not mud that cannot support the wall in the future, it will be the grandson of the emperor."
hiss……
Everyone present took a breath, and even Li Shimin was surprised by his son's determination.
Since he became emperor, including this time, he has used Li Jiancheng twice, but the price he paid each time was impossible for Li Jiancheng to refuse.
For the first time, Li Wenhao married Li Changge and made him the crown princess, the future queen.
But this time, it was even more ruthless, directly promising the position of grandson. To put it simply, would Li Jiancheng compete with his grandson for the throne?
Taking a step back, Li Jiancheng also had to consider in his own mind, whether he had a high success rate in rebellion?
If I'm being honest, as long as my grandson doesn't go astray, wouldn't the future emperor still have his share?
"Go, forge it! Cover it with my jade seal."
Li Shimin nodded and said,
After all, compared with the resolution of this great war, the position of grandson is light for him.
If he loses this match, let alone a grandson, he might not even be a prince.
"Order Xu Da's department to march into Taiyuan and Luoyang."
"Order Yuan Chonghuan to rush to the outside of Fanyang City within five days."
"In addition, Xu Chu, Jia Fu, you two, went out of the city overnight through the secret road, took my soldier talisman Xingye to the Yuyang Camp, and called up the 20 warriors from the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion."
"It's time for them to perform."
"Tell Yue Fei, I'll wait for him for five days at most, and after five days, the decisive battle will begin."
"Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation?"
"joke!"
"Shen Lian, Ding Xiu, Lu Jianxing, the three of you must find out for me how they suddenly appeared in our Hebei territory, and you must also find out the source of their art of war."
"At the same time, check for me, there are also those foreign races who have learned our art of war."
With the battle imminent, Li Wenhao's eyes never softened, and the piercing gaze made people feel chills, and even Li Shimin didn't intervene at this time.
"Dare to use my Han things to beat my Han people, it seems that these people really have had enough."
"Remember, it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go. No matter who it is, if there is a suspicion, it will be arrested and tortured first."
Li Wenhao was completely angry. What he was angry about was not being besieged, but because life in Tang Dynasty was so good now that there were still people who were dissatisfied and even colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.
"Your Highness, if you belong to the royal family..."
"Kill! Clan extermination."
Li Wenhao's ruthlessness made Li Shimin frown. He always felt that this was not a good thing, but he couldn't find an excuse to refute.
"Let's take those people from the Xinggong Deliberative Hall to Zhao Prison for a walk. Don't be too harsh. Just check if they are collaborating with the enemy or traitorous to the country."
"Also, there is a curfew in Fanyang City. After nightfall, no matter who lights up the lamps, they will be punished severely. The lighter ones will be punished fifty times, and the more serious ones will be ransacked and exterminated, and the neighbors will be punished."
"Here!"
Lu Wenzhao agreed, and went down to make arrangements.
Having said so many words in one breath, Li Wenhao's mouth was also dry. After taking a sip of water, he looked at the people who were staring at him dumbfounded, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"What should I do, I should rest and rest, don't worry about me."
"You also have a good rest."
Li Shimin patted Li Wenhao on the shoulder, and walked out dignifiedly, but when he walked to the backyard, he smiled at the moon alone, with a hearty smile.
"Old man, back then you refused to give up the throne to me, saying that I, Li Er, didn't look like a prince in a dragon robe."
"Now you see it?"
"My son, Li Wenhao, my son, at a young age, dares to command a battle involving millions of people, and can determine the future direction of my Tang Dynasty."
"Old man, if you don't say anything else, I'll ask you, are you convinced about having a son?"
"If I hadn't snatched the throne back then, I'm afraid I'll be the only one left in our Li family in the future, and you have to thank me well."
"Besides, even if I'm not suitable to be an emperor, I don't look like a prince in a dragon robe, but my son is amazing!"
"Hahahaha!"
Li Shimin laughed a few times, and suddenly heard the snoring in the room stopped, so he quickly stopped, and tiptoed into the room.
"Second brother is back!"
"Guanyin servant girl, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Li Shimin asked knowingly.
"I couldn't sleep, I was woken up by someone's smirk."
"Hey! Sizi is better, don't think about anything, sleep when you're full, eat when you're full..."
"It's night, go to bed!"
"it is good!"
Li Shimin, who hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, fell asleep while lying next to Empress Changsun. In his dream, he saw Li Wenhao berating Fang Qiu and leading an army to conquer the world. is a rapid expansion.
And his sons, no matter whether they are the concubine or the concubine, all obtained a large piece of land in the end, and the youngest of them was half as big as Tang Dynasty.
And he, Li Shimin, is the emperor of Tang Dynasty in the whole world, the only emperor.
"Hahaha!"
"Good! Very good!"
Li Shimin in his sleep suddenly opened his eyes. Beside him was a curious Sizi, with big eyes that seemed to be asking, this creature called Father Emperor, what are you smirking at?
Have you dreamed of marrying a wife?
Empress Changsun was sitting on a dresser beside her to wash her hands, "Second brother, are you awake?"
"What time is it now?"
Li Shimin looked up at the sun in the sky and asked embarrassedly.
"It's almost noon, and Da Lang has already left for the city."
"Oh, why didn't you call me earlier."
"It's useless to shout. It seems that the enemy really uses me, Fan Yangcheng, as a bait now."
While speaking, Li Wenhao walked in from the outside, and immediately hugged Xiao Si, "Little Si, do you miss your brother?"
In Li Wenhao's words, he didn't take the enemies outside the city seriously at all.
Now Fan Yangcheng has used all the defensive methods. The arrow towers standing on the city wall, as well as the crossbow machines installed inside the city wall, are enough for them to defend against the enemy's attack. Now what Li Wenhao is struggling with is that the enemy What cards are there?
This kind of battle between knowing oneself and not knowing the enemy is really uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, there is news from Chen Qingzhi."
"Read!"
"The minister Chen Qingzhi saw His Highness, and the minister broke up the 30 white robes under his command into pieces in the countryside. After several days of investigation, he found that the enemy's intentions did not seem to be Fan Yangcheng. They came out of Yanshan with another 40 white robes. The [-] soldiers were divided among the siege army, and they went south, but judging from their course of action, it seems that the target is not our Grand Canal."
"Your Highness, please be careful. By the time His Highness receives the letter, I have led seven thousand white-robed warriors under his command to lurk near Yanshan Mountain. We must find out how the enemy came to our hinterland in Hebei through Yanshan Mountain."
"I knew it."
Looking at Chen Qingzhi's letter, Li Wenhao already knew in his heart that Yu Qian guessed the enemy's intentions correctly, but what effect would Chen Qingzhi's seven thousand white robes have on such an army of hundreds of thousands at every turn?
"Your Highness, Lin Gan is in a hurry..."
"Fuck!"
Hearing Lu Wenzhao's reminder, Li Wenhao's head buzzed.
What the hell, in Hebei Province, setting fire, especially in the mountains, has become a tradition, okay?
At this time, Chen Qingzhi was breaking up his army into pieces and following the enemy's southward trajectory, slowly exploring towards the north. The enemy took that road, which is very important to Datang. Where will it come from? I'm afraid it will be another scene by then.
To put it simply, finding out where the enemy came from is as important as defeating the enemy.
Two days later, the disintegrated white-robed army gathered in a forest at the foot of Yanshan Mountain.
"General, through the ruts on the ground, we can almost determine where the enemy's logistics is located. Do we want it?"
Chen Qingzhi's deputy said excitedly.
They have few white-robed soldiers, only 7000, and they are okay in ordinary battles, but in the face of this kind of war that costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, these 7000 of them can sneak wildly on the side.
"No, if we do it directly, wouldn't it be exposed?"
"Right now, there are enemies all around Fanyang City, including near Yanshan Mountain. Facing so many enemies, how can we run if we are exposed?"
"Does your lord mean not to fight?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't fight."
Chen Qingzhi shook his head, almost breaking the lieutenant's mentality.
"In this way, take a few smart and capable people to see how far their baggage is from us. Take the middle of this road and find a place suitable for an ambush."
"There's no need to talk about it, the little one has checked it out a long time ago."
"The enemy's supply camp is about seventy miles away from where we are now, and less than thirty miles away from us, there is a place that is very suitable for ambushes, called Shahukou. There is also a cottage here. His Royal Highness When the bandits on Hebei Road were cleaned up, the place was already empty."
"Kill the tiger's mouth?"
"Okay, from today onwards we will be the kings of the mountain who killed Huzhai."
"You pretend to be a little like me."
"Lead the way, go to that cottage first."
A sinister thought suddenly formed in Chen Qingzhi's mind.
"General, right here."
Chen Qingzhi walked into the cottage and took a look, hey!
Good guy.
This cottage probably wasn't brought down by Li Wenhao, it must have surrendered voluntarily or all the people in the village ran away.
And it's not safe at all to run around.
In addition to gold and silver, the granary behind the cottage actually stored more than half of the grain.
"General, you can eat, good food."
"Then let's bury the pot and make a meal. I've gotten fat from eating wild game every day."
"Cook some meat porridge, remember, don't hide it, let people know that there is a copycat of ours here."
"okay!"
After Chen Qingzhi finished giving orders, he walked to the gate of the village, looked at it for a long time, and nodded in satisfaction.
This cottage really wasn't taken down by force, otherwise these defensive measures would not have been preserved so well, it was simply a ready-made small war fortress.
"Not bad!"
During the search, Chen Qingzhi saw a slippery block at the gate of the cottage. Subconsciously, he thought of Li Wenhao's feat that had been changed into a drama.
"Open this door."
Walking out of an old warehouse, and calculating the distance, Chen Qingzhi asked someone to open the door. As expected, there were three iron tackles neatly placed inside.
Moreover, this iron block is a relatively advanced one. Not only does it have a slide, but the three cars can also be practiced together. The most remarkable thing is that there is a thick iron chain hanging behind the last car. Behind the iron chain is a device similar to a potter's wheel on a crystal.
As long as a few people roll the gears by the side, the anti-going iron block can be retracted.
"Seconds, seconds!"
Not only that, Chen Qingzhi estimated the distance, and the iron tackle could just reach the lowered flat ground, that is to say, the iron tackle could steadily block the road to Shahukou.
"It seems that the owner before killing the tiger village should be a member of the army, but I don't know who this person is?"
How could Chen Qingzhi have imagined that the original troops in the Killing Tiger Village were the rout soldiers who accompanied Yang Guang in the three conquests of Goguryeo. Later, when they couldn't find a large army, they took the captain of their battalion as the leader and fell into the grass on the mountain as bandits, waiting for Yang Guang's fourth attack. The army that fought against Goguryeo, but this one waited until Datang.
At that time, Li Wenhao issued a notice to take in these rout soldiers. The people in this village are not bad people at all. Even if they rob along the way, they only take part of it. I don't know how many people who stumbled and went wrong, so when they saw the notice, the people in the whole village moved out and were resettled somewhere in Hebei Road.
That night, smoke rose from the forest. As a place of heavy baggage, the enemy would naturally survey the surrounding terrain. When they saw the smoke rising, the enemy became restless.
"Where is the tiger's mouth, there is smoke rising from the kitchen, my lord, could it be the enemy's army coming?"
"Impossible, the enemy's army is now isolated by us, how could they come?"
"Send two Centuries to see."
"Yes!"
In the middle of the night, Chen Qingzhi, who was admiring the moon, saw a group of people lighting torches from afar under the moonlight, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"The fish is hooked."
"Close the gate of the village, turn off the engine, don't let them come up, and don't let them see our people."
Chen Qingzhi took a sip of tea lightly, and on the isolated peak of Killing Tiger's Mouth, he looked at the enemies in front of him who were tortured by organs, bows and arrows, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Run, run!"
This group of people lost half of the enemy without even seeing the appearance of the enemy. Without saying a word, they turned around and ran away.
In the process of running, I still don't forget to imagine the bravery of the enemy.
"My lord, it's too powerful. The enemy is too powerful. We suffered heavy losses without even seeing the enemy's face. The ground is full of traps. The enemy shoots arrows on the mountain. We can't get through it at all."
"Oh?"
The commander of the enemy's heavy supply battalion was suspicious. They walked this road more than once, but they didn't see any enemies.
"Could it be bandits or hunters, they didn't want to participate in the war, but were misunderstood by us?"
There is one thing to say, the commander of this supply battalion is still very qualified, knowing the criticality of the supply battalion, at this time he did not go up in a foolish way, but chose to analyze rationally.
"In this way, you and I will take a trip tomorrow, let's go and see for ourselves, if it is a bandit hunter, then it will be easy to handle."
In fact, in his heart, he regarded Chen Qingzhi and his group as bandits.
The next day, just after dawn, the commander of the supply battalion led his people to a hilltop near Shahuzhai. When he saw the unabashed smoke rising from the mountain stronghold, the commander of the supply battalion smiled.
"It's okay, this is a group of bandits, they may have misunderstood our intentions."
"In this way, the next time you deliver luggage, leave a car for them with our specialty seal meat..."
"Don't provoke them, try to make friends with them."
"understand!"
On the same day, when Chen Qingzhi had finished his lunch, a long line of luggage was escorted over from a distance. Judging from its appearance, it should be enough to feed 20 people.
The corner of Chen Qingzhi's mouth grinned, thinking that the opportunity has come.
"Hurry up, tell the brothers to change their clothes, and those who have no clothes to change will tear up their own clothes and pretend to be bandits in ambush on both sides of the tiger's mouth."
Sure enough, half an hour later, the enemy's grain transport team came over.
Chen Qingzhi directly blocked the enemy's way with hundreds of people.
"Hey! I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live on from now on, you will save money to buy roads."
"Understand, understand, we understand the rules~!"
The officer of the escort team gave a flattering smile, and with a wave of his hand, the three carriages were sent to Chen Qingzhi.
"My lord, please do me a favor. These three carts will be our road money."
In fact, he was very angry in his heart, but the order from above was not to add extra details, so he could only show a flattering look in the atmosphere.
"Ok?"
Chen Qingzhi picked up the enemy's three carts of tribute with a long spear, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a kind of meat that he had never eaten before.
"Your family is very good at handling things, and I won't make things difficult for you, but there are rules in the mountains, and we can't break these rules."
"You must know that if I break the rules, I won't be able to hang out in the mountains in the future. Right?"
"Yes, yes, what your majesty said is true. My lord said that as long as your majesty is convenient, there will be many benefits in the future."
"Um!"
"Since this is the case, then I am not an unreasonable person, so let's go!"
"Thank you."
Watching the convoy start up again, Chen Qingzhi waved his hand, and the archers who were ambushing on both sides stood up.
"I said you go, you may not understand what it means."
"I mean, when people go, things stay."
"Your Majesty, we have hundreds of thousands of troops abroad, don't make mistakes."
The escorting captain stopped pretending, and just looked coldly like him.
"You can let them go into the mountains to catch me. I'll see if you are the best in this mountain or me."
"Now there are two choices, either give me the things, you go, or you kill you, the things will be mine"
"Well, I won't make it difficult for you. I only want the things you need this time. If you go from here in the future, how about I just pretend I didn't see it?"
The captain pulled out the sword from his waist without even listening to it, and prepared to fight Chen Qingzhi to the death. Chen Qing ordered the hand to shoot the arrow to stretch out, but at this moment, the centurion who came to investigate yesterday pulled away. Take this captain.
After repeating what the commander of their supply battalion had said yesterday, the label on the lieutenant's face changed again and again, and finally he nodded helplessly.
"I can promise you to give you these things, but this time I have to transport them away. The army on the front line is ready to use them."
"Ha ha!"
Chen Qingzhi stretched out his hand again, not intending to listen to the enemy's explanation at all.
He is stupid, let the enemy transport food to the front line, and then the enemy beat his brother when he was full?
"Prepare……"
"No, we'll give you..."
"Right! So we can be friends!"
After Chen Qingzhi watched the group of people go away with a smile, he ordered people from the village to get all the carriages into the village.
"My lord, these things are probably enough to feed 20 people, right?"
"It's just too much, it seems that the enemies on the front line are about to run out of food."
Chen Qingzhi chuckled, looked at the enemy captain gritted his teeth in the distance, and turned his head to ignore him.
"There are hundreds of thousands of troops on the enemy's front line, and it may be a problem if the supplies arrive one day late, and I believe that their supply bases will not be able to take out supplies of 20 people casually, so tonight, everyone, be careful."
"Five miles away, take turns to stand guard. The archers on the two sides of the mountain should not withdraw. I suspect that they may come to rob the camp tonight."
"General, why don't we give them a catch?"
The eight-door golden lock formation that people are most familiar with is Cao Ren used this formation to block Liu Bei, and it was finally broken by Xu Shu.
But this formation is definitely not that simple. Later, Zhuge Liang developed the eight-formation diagram by improving the eight-door golden lock formation, not only relying on the eight-diagram formation to trap Lu Xun, but also defeated Sima Yi repeatedly.
but……
The problem is coming.
How do those Shiwei people know about advanced formations like the eight-door golden lock formation?
Although the people of the Central Plains are not xenophobic, they are definitely not stupid. How could it be possible to spread this kind of thing that can affect the outcome of a great war?
It is probably the limit to be able to give them a long snake array.
In other words, now the generals in the army, no matter how old or young they are, how many of them will arrange the eight-door golden lock array?
"Call Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Liu Bowen, and Yu Qian over here."
For Li Shimin, the eight-door golden lock array is already a bit beyond the outline.
He can break through the one-word long snake formation, but he may be powerless in the face of the eight-door golden lock formation.
"His Majesty!"
Not long after, the four of them came to the city wall and subconsciously observed the enemy's formation without using Li Shimin's size.
"Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation?"
Several people were equally astonished. This is almost an untaught secret in the art of war. It is usually passed on from master to apprentice, and it is taught as a unique move, and the apprentice must be given a great test before it is taught.
But Kanshiwei has mastered the proficiency of the big formation for a long time.
Guo Jia and the others looked at each other, and Qi Qi saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Help Dalang break the formation first."
"Yes!"
Just when the three of them were about to break the formation, three horsemen came running from a distance on flying horses.
"Your Majesty, the enemy has set up a large formation at the other three city gates, and the generals cannot break through them."
"Big array?"
Li Shimin frowned.
"Ming Jin let them come back first."
"Yes!"
"Several of you go to the remaining walls to have a look."
"Yes!"
Guo Jia stayed with Li Shimin, while Yu Qian, Jia Xu, and Liu Bowen went to each city wall.
At this time, Li Wenhao heard the sound of gold ringing on the tower, and forgot to look at it suspiciously. Looking at the enemy command platform not far away, he finally chose to trust Li Shimin, turned around the pier, and led people to kill towards the rear.
Fortunately, he has not entered the battle deeply now, and there are Jia Fu, Xu Chu, and Zen master Shi on the periphery, so the way back is not difficult.
"Your Highness, us?"
"Go back first."
Li Wenhao looked at the top of the city and said in a low voice, although the enemy's command system has not been destroyed, at least the siege of the city wall is lifted now, but it is only the north city wall, and the other three city walls may also be caught in a bitter battle .
"The three of you, go to support the other city walls, each lead troops to clean one side, and finally gather in the city."
Li Wenhao glanced at the 3000 people brought out behind him. I am afraid that more than [-] people have been killed in battle now, and the rest are all wounded. In the battle, they can only take their lives. The horse, because the charge is not deep, and it is all skillful, its combat effectiveness is still very strong.
"I'll go to the South Gate to support old General Qin Qiong."
"I'm going to Simon."
"I'm going to the east gate."
The three of them quickly divided their support targets, and rushed over according to their own targets.
Since Xu Chu was going to support the South Gate, he led his troops and followed Li Wenhao into the city and just walked along the road in the city.
The other two cleaned along the city wall.
After clearing out the enemies at the city gate, Li Wenhao was the last one to enter the city.
Waiting for him to climb the city wall, there was a trace of fatigue in his eyes. He hadn't rested for two consecutive days, and even led troops to fight two battles. Even a tough man couldn't stand it.
After all, he was not Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba was only responsible for killing people, and he also had to take care of making plans.
"Father, why are you calling gold?"
"look……"
Li Shimin pointed to the army formation formed by the enemy below the city, and motioned Li Wenhao to watch for himself.
"It's like, what the hell, it's..."
In fact, Li Wenhao didn't know what it was, but he just felt that the operation of the enemy's formation was very coordinated, and he felt that if he didn't retreat just now, he seemed to be trapped in the enemy's siege.
"This is?"
"The eight-door golden lock formation, or the eight-door golden lock formation that is proficient in its changes."
Guo Jia spoke solemnly.
"It's hard to break?"
"It's not difficult, but..."
"I see"
Li Wenhao slapped his forehead, "Who did they learn from?"
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the seriousness in their eyes. Li Wenhao suddenly turned his head and looked towards the city.
Suddenly Lu Wenzhao was called.
"From now on, people are not allowed to gather in Fanyang City. I will search every house, and seal all the tunnels, waterways, and dog lanes."
"One or three people form a group, controlled separately, remember everyone in the city, if you don't follow this, everyone will be imprisoned, serious ones will be killed on the spot."
"Your Highness, this..."
"Go!"
Li Wenhao didn't have time to explain to him, he just controlled the courtiers, but he seemed to have forgotten that the courtiers were just representatives of some families, and it didn't mean that being an official in the court was the absolute talker in the family.
"Also, call the Jinyiwei Command Posts in all the cities around Fanyang City, and ask them to join forces with Sima of the army in the city to take over the cities."
"Starting now, until the end of the war, all cities in Hebei Road will be closed unconditionally until the end of the war."
"Yes!"
According to Li Wenhao's instructions, Lu Wenzhao began to use Xinying to send out messages.
But at this time, Xu Chu, who had rode his horse to Nancheng, suddenly lost his horse's hooves and fell to the ground.
"Damn it, time to find a good horse."
Xu Chu said with some displeasure that the horse is the second life of the general, and the quality of the horse can largely represent the strength of the general.
For example, the famous general who left his name in history, isn't that horse under his crotch a one-in-a-million horse?
An emperor on horseback like Li Shimin has eight good horses in the world, which he calls eight horses.
"Old General Qin, can I borrow a war horse?"
Xu Chu's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Qiong on the city wall. The war horse under Qin Qiong's crotch was the first-class horse in the world. BMW can undoubtedly improve its combat power a lot.
"Invincible!"
Qin Qiong patted Hu Lei's horse's head lightly, whispered something in his ear, and then handed the horse to Xu Chu himself.
"General Xu, this war horse has fought against this old man for a lifetime, and this battle is now his last dance, right?"
Qin Qiong's expression was a little downcast. In the past, he was the one who charged on the horse, but now he borrowed the horse, which shows the sadness in his heart.
"Thank you!"
Xu Chu didn't say much when he got on the horse. He also knew that it was useless to talk more in this situation. The best reward was to kill and wound the enemy more.
"Everyone, follow a certain family."
Xu Chu took the lead and rushed to the front, his aura was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and he smashed the enemies surrounding the gate of the city to pieces.
"Quick fight."
Xu Chu roared and rushed towards the enemy's ladder first. Their purpose was to clean up the enemies under the city and destroy the enemy's ladder.
It may be that the enemy is really not good at siege warfare, or it may be because the enemy did not expect Li Wenhao to be so decisive and send people out to clean up the city wall when his troops are empty.
They couldn't stop Xu Chu and the others, and there was nothing they could do with them, even if they wanted to use bows and arrows, because they would hurt their own people first.
"hateful!"
The enemy commander standing on the podium cursed secretly, and continued to wave the command flag to let these Shiwei people attack.
"Prepare for the next step of the battle plan."
Facts have proved that the enemy is definitely not unprepared to come, and the formation just outside a few city gates is unusual.
Following the order of the enemy general, the enemy's army retreated like a tide, forming a large formation with sharp edges and corners, completely surrounding Fan Yangcheng.
"This……"
Li Shimin and Li Wenhao were completely dumbfounded. This kind of order and prohibition, to be honest, was only found in the absolute elite troops in the Tang Dynasty. How can a random foreign race be like this now?
"No, there must be an inner ghost among us. Who is it?"
Li Wenhao and Li Shimin looked at each other, they both had the same thought in their minds, someone definitely passed on the cultural treasures left over by the Han people for thousands of years.
Moreover, the most important military book was passed on.
As I said earlier, although the Tang Dynasty welcomes all nations to come and exchange cultures, no one would be stupid enough to pass on the art of war to foreigners, let alone the formation?
While the two were contemplating, Guo Jia also walked over with a solemn expression.
"Things are even worse than we thought. The enemy not only knows formations, but also connects the enemy troops outside the four city gates together."
"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is a picture drawn by Yu Qian, Liu Bowen, and Jia Xu. According to the picture, now, our Fanyang City is the core of this formation. We are surrounded by eight gates composed of tens of thousands of people Surrounded by the Golden Lock Formation"
"what?"
Li Shimin was taken aback, but Li Wenhao wasn't too surprised, after all, he didn't understand formations.
"It seems that they really came prepared."
"Not only that, Your Majesty, now, we may really have to fight the enemy for consumption."
"Your Majesty knows the power of the eight-door golden lock formation. If you want to break the formation, you must have a brave general. But now the enemy is a large formation with a middle formation, and a middle formation with a small formation. If we want to break the formation, at present In terms of the strength of the troops, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult."
"Me too?"
Li Wenhao asked stubbornly.
"No."
Faced with Guo Jia's shaking of the head, Li Wenhao was also helpless. His manpower would eventually run out. After all, Li Yuanba didn't really kill millions of anti-kings on Siping Mountain, it was just an exaggerated description.
"What should I do?"
Li Wenhao spread his hands.
"Stick and wait for help!"
Li Shimin and Guo Jia spoke at the same time.
They were afraid that Li Wenhao had never fought a defensive battle in his life, and if he rushed out on impulse, it would be troublesome.
"It's a pity that my Hebei army is not around, otherwise there are hundreds of thousands of barbarians in the district, what's the point?"
At this moment, Li Wenhao really wanted to pull Song Ci out for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, this is absolutely not acceptable. If Song Ci is really pulled out, I am afraid that Hebei will spend the next two years disposing of corpses, which is not in the interests of .
"Is there no other way?"
"Ran Min has already been sent back to his teacher in Goguryeo. Now that the enemy is powerful, I am going to let Li Cunxiao's Feihu battalion guard the outskirts of Yanshan Mountain, while Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan will directly return to help."
"how long?"
Guo Jia shook his head. Now the only news they can know is the place where the eyes can see. When they leave Fan Yang, they are blind and don't know what is going on outside Fan Yang. If the enemy's army spreads all the way, Yuan Chonghuan and Yue Fei may want to go back. Aid is also difficult.
"I am in the Yuyang Camp in the south of Fanyang City. There are also the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion. In addition to some reserves, there are also 20 soldiers and horses. These people are also capable soldiers."
The Five Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion can be said to be Li Wenhao's last cards. If the situation is not good, he can only resort to the last move, give up Fan Yang, and run away with his family and important officials around him.
Stick to Huaibi Pass, Yanmen Pass and the Valley of the Dead, cut off the Grand Canal, and trap the enemy in Hebei.
Of course, this is the last resort. If there is any hope, Li Wenhao will not give up Hebei. After all, he has managed Hebei for many years, and now he has built Hebei into the richest place in the world. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't feel sorry for him.
Just when Li Wenhao and others were preparing to meet the next wave of more violent attacks from the enemy, the enemy did not attack the city, but just surrounded Fan Yang, as if they were waiting for something, or they just wanted to trap Li Wenhao here, and have other purposes.
"What the hell are they trying to do?"
Looking at the brightly lit city, Li Wenhao rubbed his head helplessly. Now Li Changge and Ashinayun's stomachs are getting bigger day by day. He doesn't want his two children to be born in the flames of war.
"I know, I know!"
While Li Wenhao and Li Shimin were discussing important matters, Yu Qian stumbled in with Guo Jia and others.
"I know their goal. They don't want to fight Fan Yang at all. No, it should be said that they can fight if they can, and they can surround them if they can't. Their real goal is here."
Yu Qian pointed at the sand table, and seeing where Yu Qian was pointing, a group of people shook their heads in doubt.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, you see, if the enemy advances westward here, bypasses Yuyang, bypasses the Valley of the Dead, and turns to Datong, Xuanhua, and then enters Tongguan, then we will be in the Valley of the Dead, Huaibi Pass, including Hulao The defenses set up by Guan have no effect at all."
"The enemy, on the other hand, can use Tongguan as a springboard to go south. When the time comes to block the Yangtze River and block the Grand Canal, our Tang Dynasty will be directly divided into two by the enemy."
"And we don't have many soldiers in the south..."
"The thief dares!"
None of you here are fools. What Yu Qian said is obvious enough. At that time, the northern and southern imperial courts will come across the river. Such a pass, the initiative is also in the hands of the enemy in a disguised form.
"No."
"This is absolutely impossible, what can you do?"
"us……"
Guo Jia stammered half of what he said.
"Say, innocent,"
"I suspect that in addition to the purpose that Sir Yu said, the enemy may also want to occupy Guanzhong. After all, there are Hulao Pass and Tongguan. Their occupation of Guanzhong is almost equivalent to occupying the entire Longyou."
"Moreover, they can cut off our connection with the Western Conqueror Army. I'm afraid that nearly a million warriors from the Tang Dynasty will have to bury their bones elsewhere."
"Good! Good!"
"It's so ruthless!"
"I, Li Wenhao, didn't bother them, but instead they're giving us a world-wide attack?"
"Have Huihe and Tuyuhun made any moves now?"
"Forget it, whether they have it or not, they don't need to exist anymore."
"Lu Wenzhao, now, no matter what method you use, you must pass the news back to Chang'an."
"Secret my uncle as the head of the Guannei Road Marching Army."
"The Jinwu Guards, Qianniu Guards, and the leading guards in Chang'an City are all commanded by him. One purpose, within three days after receiving the news, a large army must be stationed in Tongguan."
"My Li family God of War, Li Xiaogong, sent an order to Bashu to tell him that it's time to come out from Shu to exercise."
"Let him command one hundred thousand troops to guard the Jiange Road for me."
"Order Li Shentong to let him use all the navy in Xiangfan to sail down the Yangtze River and block the mouth of the Grand Canal."
"I don't care, I am the Great Tang Dynasty, can I let such a small Shi Wei person be wiped out?"
"Your Highness, is it not appropriate to transfer the troops from Bashu and Xiangfan?"
"The army under Bai Qi's command was drawn from various armies."
"Besides, using the King Chu's long soldiers, I'm afraid..."
Jia Xu reminded carefully.
"It's okay, my uncle, I know it well, internal fighting is fine, but outsiders absolutely can't intervene."
"Add a sentence to the letter to my uncle. If Changge's first birth is a son, as long as it is not mud that cannot support the wall in the future, it will be the grandson of the emperor."
hiss……
Everyone present took a breath, and even Li Shimin was surprised by his son's determination.
Since he became emperor, including this time, he has used Li Jiancheng twice, but the price he paid each time was impossible for Li Jiancheng to refuse.
For the first time, Li Wenhao married Li Changge and made him the crown princess, the future queen.
But this time, it was even more ruthless, directly promising the position of grandson. To put it simply, would Li Jiancheng compete with his grandson for the throne?
Taking a step back, Li Jiancheng also had to consider in his own mind, whether he had a high success rate in rebellion?
If I'm being honest, as long as my grandson doesn't go astray, wouldn't the future emperor still have his share?
"Go, forge it! Cover it with my jade seal."
Li Shimin nodded and said,
After all, compared with the resolution of this great war, the position of grandson is light for him.
If he loses this match, let alone a grandson, he might not even be a prince.
"Order Xu Da's department to march into Taiyuan and Luoyang."
"Order Yuan Chonghuan to rush to the outside of Fanyang City within five days."
"In addition, Xu Chu, Jia Fu, you two, went out of the city overnight through the secret road, took my soldier talisman Xingye to the Yuyang Camp, and called up the 20 warriors from the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion."
"It's time for them to perform."
"Tell Yue Fei, I'll wait for him for five days at most, and after five days, the decisive battle will begin."
"Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation?"
"joke!"
"Shen Lian, Ding Xiu, Lu Jianxing, the three of you must find out for me how they suddenly appeared in our Hebei territory, and you must also find out the source of their art of war."
"At the same time, check for me, there are also those foreign races who have learned our art of war."
With the battle imminent, Li Wenhao's eyes never softened, and the piercing gaze made people feel chills, and even Li Shimin didn't intervene at this time.
"Dare to use my Han things to beat my Han people, it seems that these people really have had enough."
"Remember, it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go. No matter who it is, if there is a suspicion, it will be arrested and tortured first."
Li Wenhao was completely angry. What he was angry about was not being besieged, but because life in Tang Dynasty was so good now that there were still people who were dissatisfied and even colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.
"Your Highness, if you belong to the royal family..."
"Kill! Clan extermination."
Li Wenhao's ruthlessness made Li Shimin frown. He always felt that this was not a good thing, but he couldn't find an excuse to refute.
"Let's take those people from the Xinggong Deliberative Hall to Zhao Prison for a walk. Don't be too harsh. Just check if they are collaborating with the enemy or traitorous to the country."
"Also, there is a curfew in Fanyang City. After nightfall, no matter who lights up the lamps, they will be punished severely. The lighter ones will be punished fifty times, and the more serious ones will be ransacked and exterminated, and the neighbors will be punished."
"Here!"
Lu Wenzhao agreed, and went down to make arrangements.
Having said so many words in one breath, Li Wenhao's mouth was also dry. After taking a sip of water, he looked at the people who were staring at him dumbfounded, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"What should I do, I should rest and rest, don't worry about me."
"You also have a good rest."
Li Shimin patted Li Wenhao on the shoulder, and walked out dignifiedly, but when he walked to the backyard, he smiled at the moon alone, with a hearty smile.
"Old man, back then you refused to give up the throne to me, saying that I, Li Er, didn't look like a prince in a dragon robe."
"Now you see it?"
"My son, Li Wenhao, my son, at a young age, dares to command a battle involving millions of people, and can determine the future direction of my Tang Dynasty."
"Old man, if you don't say anything else, I'll ask you, are you convinced about having a son?"
"If I hadn't snatched the throne back then, I'm afraid I'll be the only one left in our Li family in the future, and you have to thank me well."
"Besides, even if I'm not suitable to be an emperor, I don't look like a prince in a dragon robe, but my son is amazing!"
"Hahahaha!"
Li Shimin laughed a few times, and suddenly heard the snoring in the room stopped, so he quickly stopped, and tiptoed into the room.
"Second brother is back!"
"Guanyin servant girl, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Li Shimin asked knowingly.
"I couldn't sleep, I was woken up by someone's smirk."
"Hey! Sizi is better, don't think about anything, sleep when you're full, eat when you're full..."
"It's night, go to bed!"
"it is good!"
Li Shimin, who hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, fell asleep while lying next to Empress Changsun. In his dream, he saw Li Wenhao berating Fang Qiu and leading an army to conquer the world. is a rapid expansion.
And his sons, no matter whether they are the concubine or the concubine, all obtained a large piece of land in the end, and the youngest of them was half as big as Tang Dynasty.
And he, Li Shimin, is the emperor of Tang Dynasty in the whole world, the only emperor.
"Hahaha!"
"Good! Very good!"
Li Shimin in his sleep suddenly opened his eyes. Beside him was a curious Sizi, with big eyes that seemed to be asking, this creature called Father Emperor, what are you smirking at?
Have you dreamed of marrying a wife?
Empress Changsun was sitting on a dresser beside her to wash her hands, "Second brother, are you awake?"
"What time is it now?"
Li Shimin looked up at the sun in the sky and asked embarrassedly.
"It's almost noon, and Da Lang has already left for the city."
"Oh, why didn't you call me earlier."
"It's useless to shout. It seems that the enemy really uses me, Fan Yangcheng, as a bait now."
While speaking, Li Wenhao walked in from the outside, and immediately hugged Xiao Si, "Little Si, do you miss your brother?"
In Li Wenhao's words, he didn't take the enemies outside the city seriously at all.
Now Fan Yangcheng has used all the defensive methods. The arrow towers standing on the city wall, as well as the crossbow machines installed inside the city wall, are enough for them to defend against the enemy's attack. Now what Li Wenhao is struggling with is that the enemy What cards are there?
This kind of battle between knowing oneself and not knowing the enemy is really uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, there is news from Chen Qingzhi."
"Read!"
"The minister Chen Qingzhi saw His Highness, and the minister broke up the 30 white robes under his command into pieces in the countryside. After several days of investigation, he found that the enemy's intentions did not seem to be Fan Yangcheng. They came out of Yanshan with another 40 white robes. The [-] soldiers were divided among the siege army, and they went south, but judging from their course of action, it seems that the target is not our Grand Canal."
"Your Highness, please be careful. By the time His Highness receives the letter, I have led seven thousand white-robed warriors under his command to lurk near Yanshan Mountain. We must find out how the enemy came to our hinterland in Hebei through Yanshan Mountain."
"I knew it."
Looking at Chen Qingzhi's letter, Li Wenhao already knew in his heart that Yu Qian guessed the enemy's intentions correctly, but what effect would Chen Qingzhi's seven thousand white robes have on such an army of hundreds of thousands at every turn?
"Your Highness, Lin Gan is in a hurry..."
"Fuck!"
Hearing Lu Wenzhao's reminder, Li Wenhao's head buzzed.
What the hell, in Hebei Province, setting fire, especially in the mountains, has become a tradition, okay?
At this time, Chen Qingzhi was breaking up his army into pieces and following the enemy's southward trajectory, slowly exploring towards the north. The enemy took that road, which is very important to Datang. Where will it come from? I'm afraid it will be another scene by then.
To put it simply, finding out where the enemy came from is as important as defeating the enemy.
Two days later, the disintegrated white-robed army gathered in a forest at the foot of Yanshan Mountain.
"General, through the ruts on the ground, we can almost determine where the enemy's logistics is located. Do we want it?"
Chen Qingzhi's deputy said excitedly.
They have few white-robed soldiers, only 7000, and they are okay in ordinary battles, but in the face of this kind of war that costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, these 7000 of them can sneak wildly on the side.
"No, if we do it directly, wouldn't it be exposed?"
"Right now, there are enemies all around Fanyang City, including near Yanshan Mountain. Facing so many enemies, how can we run if we are exposed?"
"Does your lord mean not to fight?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't fight."
Chen Qingzhi shook his head, almost breaking the lieutenant's mentality.
"In this way, take a few smart and capable people to see how far their baggage is from us. Take the middle of this road and find a place suitable for an ambush."
"There's no need to talk about it, the little one has checked it out a long time ago."
"The enemy's supply camp is about seventy miles away from where we are now, and less than thirty miles away from us, there is a place that is very suitable for ambushes, called Shahukou. There is also a cottage here. His Royal Highness When the bandits on Hebei Road were cleaned up, the place was already empty."
"Kill the tiger's mouth?"
"Okay, from today onwards we will be the kings of the mountain who killed Huzhai."
"You pretend to be a little like me."
"Lead the way, go to that cottage first."
A sinister thought suddenly formed in Chen Qingzhi's mind.
"General, right here."
Chen Qingzhi walked into the cottage and took a look, hey!
Good guy.
This cottage probably wasn't brought down by Li Wenhao, it must have surrendered voluntarily or all the people in the village ran away.
And it's not safe at all to run around.
In addition to gold and silver, the granary behind the cottage actually stored more than half of the grain.
"General, you can eat, good food."
"Then let's bury the pot and make a meal. I've gotten fat from eating wild game every day."
"Cook some meat porridge, remember, don't hide it, let people know that there is a copycat of ours here."
"okay!"
After Chen Qingzhi finished giving orders, he walked to the gate of the village, looked at it for a long time, and nodded in satisfaction.
This cottage really wasn't taken down by force, otherwise these defensive measures would not have been preserved so well, it was simply a ready-made small war fortress.
"Not bad!"
During the search, Chen Qingzhi saw a slippery block at the gate of the cottage. Subconsciously, he thought of Li Wenhao's feat that had been changed into a drama.
"Open this door."
Walking out of an old warehouse, and calculating the distance, Chen Qingzhi asked someone to open the door. As expected, there were three iron tackles neatly placed inside.
Moreover, this iron block is a relatively advanced one. Not only does it have a slide, but the three cars can also be practiced together. The most remarkable thing is that there is a thick iron chain hanging behind the last car. Behind the iron chain is a device similar to a potter's wheel on a crystal.
As long as a few people roll the gears by the side, the anti-going iron block can be retracted.
"Seconds, seconds!"
Not only that, Chen Qingzhi estimated the distance, and the iron tackle could just reach the lowered flat ground, that is to say, the iron tackle could steadily block the road to Shahukou.
"It seems that the owner before killing the tiger village should be a member of the army, but I don't know who this person is?"
How could Chen Qingzhi have imagined that the original troops in the Killing Tiger Village were the rout soldiers who accompanied Yang Guang in the three conquests of Goguryeo. Later, when they couldn't find a large army, they took the captain of their battalion as the leader and fell into the grass on the mountain as bandits, waiting for Yang Guang's fourth attack. The army that fought against Goguryeo, but this one waited until Datang.
At that time, Li Wenhao issued a notice to take in these rout soldiers. The people in this village are not bad people at all. Even if they rob along the way, they only take part of it. I don't know how many people who stumbled and went wrong, so when they saw the notice, the people in the whole village moved out and were resettled somewhere in Hebei Road.
That night, smoke rose from the forest. As a place of heavy baggage, the enemy would naturally survey the surrounding terrain. When they saw the smoke rising, the enemy became restless.
"Where is the tiger's mouth, there is smoke rising from the kitchen, my lord, could it be the enemy's army coming?"
"Impossible, the enemy's army is now isolated by us, how could they come?"
"Send two Centuries to see."
"Yes!"
In the middle of the night, Chen Qingzhi, who was admiring the moon, saw a group of people lighting torches from afar under the moonlight, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"The fish is hooked."
"Close the gate of the village, turn off the engine, don't let them come up, and don't let them see our people."
Chen Qingzhi took a sip of tea lightly, and on the isolated peak of Killing Tiger's Mouth, he looked at the enemies in front of him who were tortured by organs, bows and arrows, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Run, run!"
This group of people lost half of the enemy without even seeing the appearance of the enemy. Without saying a word, they turned around and ran away.
In the process of running, I still don't forget to imagine the bravery of the enemy.
"My lord, it's too powerful. The enemy is too powerful. We suffered heavy losses without even seeing the enemy's face. The ground is full of traps. The enemy shoots arrows on the mountain. We can't get through it at all."
"Oh?"
The commander of the enemy's heavy supply battalion was suspicious. They walked this road more than once, but they didn't see any enemies.
"Could it be bandits or hunters, they didn't want to participate in the war, but were misunderstood by us?"
There is one thing to say, the commander of this supply battalion is still very qualified, knowing the criticality of the supply battalion, at this time he did not go up in a foolish way, but chose to analyze rationally.
"In this way, you and I will take a trip tomorrow, let's go and see for ourselves, if it is a bandit hunter, then it will be easy to handle."
In fact, in his heart, he regarded Chen Qingzhi and his group as bandits.
The next day, just after dawn, the commander of the supply battalion led his people to a hilltop near Shahuzhai. When he saw the unabashed smoke rising from the mountain stronghold, the commander of the supply battalion smiled.
"It's okay, this is a group of bandits, they may have misunderstood our intentions."
"In this way, the next time you deliver luggage, leave a car for them with our specialty seal meat..."
"Don't provoke them, try to make friends with them."
"understand!"
On the same day, when Chen Qingzhi had finished his lunch, a long line of luggage was escorted over from a distance. Judging from its appearance, it should be enough to feed 20 people.
The corner of Chen Qingzhi's mouth grinned, thinking that the opportunity has come.
"Hurry up, tell the brothers to change their clothes, and those who have no clothes to change will tear up their own clothes and pretend to be bandits in ambush on both sides of the tiger's mouth."
Sure enough, half an hour later, the enemy's grain transport team came over.
Chen Qingzhi directly blocked the enemy's way with hundreds of people.
"Hey! I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live on from now on, you will save money to buy roads."
"Understand, understand, we understand the rules~!"
The officer of the escort team gave a flattering smile, and with a wave of his hand, the three carriages were sent to Chen Qingzhi.
"My lord, please do me a favor. These three carts will be our road money."
In fact, he was very angry in his heart, but the order from above was not to add extra details, so he could only show a flattering look in the atmosphere.
"Ok?"
Chen Qingzhi picked up the enemy's three carts of tribute with a long spear, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a kind of meat that he had never eaten before.
"Your family is very good at handling things, and I won't make things difficult for you, but there are rules in the mountains, and we can't break these rules."
"You must know that if I break the rules, I won't be able to hang out in the mountains in the future. Right?"
"Yes, yes, what your majesty said is true. My lord said that as long as your majesty is convenient, there will be many benefits in the future."
"Um!"
"Since this is the case, then I am not an unreasonable person, so let's go!"
"Thank you."
Watching the convoy start up again, Chen Qingzhi waved his hand, and the archers who were ambushing on both sides stood up.
"I said you go, you may not understand what it means."
"I mean, when people go, things stay."
"Your Majesty, we have hundreds of thousands of troops abroad, don't make mistakes."
The escorting captain stopped pretending, and just looked coldly like him.
"You can let them go into the mountains to catch me. I'll see if you are the best in this mountain or me."
"Now there are two choices, either give me the things, you go, or you kill you, the things will be mine"
"Well, I won't make it difficult for you. I only want the things you need this time. If you go from here in the future, how about I just pretend I didn't see it?"
The captain pulled out the sword from his waist without even listening to it, and prepared to fight Chen Qingzhi to the death. Chen Qing ordered the hand to shoot the arrow to stretch out, but at this moment, the centurion who came to investigate yesterday pulled away. Take this captain.
After repeating what the commander of their supply battalion had said yesterday, the label on the lieutenant's face changed again and again, and finally he nodded helplessly.
"I can promise you to give you these things, but this time I have to transport them away. The army on the front line is ready to use them."
"Ha ha!"
Chen Qingzhi stretched out his hand again, not intending to listen to the enemy's explanation at all.
He is stupid, let the enemy transport food to the front line, and then the enemy beat his brother when he was full?
"Prepare……"
"No, we'll give you..."
"Right! So we can be friends!"
After Chen Qingzhi watched the group of people go away with a smile, he ordered people from the village to get all the carriages into the village.
"My lord, these things are probably enough to feed 20 people, right?"
"It's just too much, it seems that the enemies on the front line are about to run out of food."
Chen Qingzhi chuckled, looked at the enemy captain gritted his teeth in the distance, and turned his head to ignore him.
"There are hundreds of thousands of troops on the enemy's front line, and it may be a problem if the supplies arrive one day late, and I believe that their supply bases will not be able to take out supplies of 20 people casually, so tonight, everyone, be careful."
"Five miles away, take turns to stand guard. The archers on the two sides of the mountain should not withdraw. I suspect that they may come to rob the camp tonight."
"General, why don't we give them a catch?"
