Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1349 Difficult to defend
Jinling City.

It was almost the end of the year, and the bustle of Jinling City in previous years had completely disappeared.

All, only tense atmosphere and situation.

Because the siege failed at the beginning, Huainan King's soldiers and horses were severely damaged, and he no longer had the ability to siege the city.

So he could only mobilize the [-] soldiers and horses he had secretly recruited over the past few years.

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, plus his more than 1 soldiers and horses, there are almost 6 soldiers and horses.

More than 6 soldiers and horses attacked Jinling City, which was more than enough in the eyes of King Huainan, because Qin Tian only had more than 4000 soldiers and horses in his hands at this time.

The difference between them is more than ten times, and there is no problem at all in attacking the city.

After Huainan King's reinforcements arrived, Huainan King really brought these soldiers and horses to kill him.

After the soldiers and horses came to Jinling City, more than 6 soldiers and horses looked densely packed, which made people dizzy.

King Huainan looked up at Qin Tian on the tower, and laughed: "Qin Tian, ​​it was your fate that failed to kill you last time. This time, you won't go so far. When this king captures Jinling City After that, I will kill you."

Standing on the tower, Qin Tian also smiled: "Really, then I want to see what you have to kill me, my lord. I'm not afraid to tell you that there are many people who want Qin Tian's life. Who are you?" ?”

Hearing this, King Huainan was stunned for a moment, feeling that the words made no sense at all.

But he didn't bother to think about it carefully, and scolded: "Okay, see if I don't kill you."

As he said that, King Huainan waved his hand, and his soldiers and horses swarmed forward.

Today's weather is very good, although it is still a bit cold, but there is no rain, which is still very beneficial for the rebels.

Qin Tian led his soldiers and horses and fired sharp arrows, repelling several rounds of rebel attacks.

But this time, the number of rebels was really too much, and after one round of killings, there would be another round. By the afternoon of such killings, Qin Tian's soldiers and horses were already exhausted and severely damaged.

But at this time, many rebels have not yet begun to attack the city, and they are very energetic.

King Huainan used wheel tactics to attack the city continuously, trying to destroy Qin Tian and his troops.

However, although Qin Tian and the others were weak, their morale was not affected at all. When they were fighting, they faced a more dangerous situation than now, but they still survived, and this time they can do the same.

Kill, kill, kill.

The smell of blood pervaded the air, and Qin Tian led his troops to stop and kill the rebels.

Before you know it, night falls.

As night fell, the rebels still failed to capture Jinling City.

However, King Huainan was in a good mood, because he could tell that although they failed to capture Jinling City, Qin Tian's soldiers and horses in the city were greatly weakened, and they only had to continue to attack the city tomorrow. If it is the case, there should be no problem in capturing Jinling City.

"Qin Tian, ​​this king will let you live one more night, tomorrow, tomorrow this king will kill you."

After King Huainan yelled, he finally ordered his troops to retreat.

Here, Qin Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the rebels recede, but when he thought about tomorrow's situation, he couldn't help but worry.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Qin Tian and Luo Huang came to the hall.

"Young master, with our current strength, we are no match for King Huainan at all. I'm afraid that Jinling City will be destroyed tomorrow. What should we do?"

After analyzing the situation, Luo Huang came to such a conclusion.

King Huainan had too many soldiers and horses. Even though Jinling City was strong, they had such a sharp weapon as the Godly Crossbow of the Tang Dynasty. But when the sharp arrows were used up, King Huainan's advantage became very obvious, and their situation was very bad.

Qin Tian frowned.

At this time, Hu Shiba immediately stood up and said, "Young Master, I will rush out tomorrow and just kill Huainan King directly. If you kill Huainan King, the battle will be easier."

Hu Shiba has the ability to take the head of a general among thousands of troops, he wants to venture out of the city once, if he succeeds, the crisis of Jinling City can be solved.

However, after he finished speaking, Qin Tian immediately shook his head and refused.

"Nonsense, the Huainan King has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and you can't kill him even if you rush out alone."

Although Hu Shiba is very powerful, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to kill King Huainan under such circumstances.

Hu Shiba curled his lips, a little annoyed, but he didn't say anything more, because he himself was not sure whether he could kill Huainan King.

The whole hall was quiet for a long time, and after a long time, Qin Tian finally asked, "When will Cheng Chumo and the others arrive?"

"Young master, they still need at least ten days."

Hearing that it would take ten days, Qin Tian's eyebrows froze, and he was a little worried. Ten days was enough for King Huainan to capture Jinling City several times.

"How did it take so long?"

"My lord, sometimes it snows in winter, so the march will inevitably be slower."

The change of the weather is too impermanent, Qin Tian naturally knows this, in the end, he can only sigh helplessly, and then walk back and forth inquiring unconsciously.

Seeing Qin Tian like this, the others didn't dare to speak.

Qin Tian's eyes were deep, and he would frown from time to time, as if he was a little hesitant.

And his expression surprised Luo Huang and the others.

It stands to reason that what Qin Tian should have most now is worry, not hesitation.

What is he hesitating about?
After a long, long time, Qin Tian suddenly stopped and said, "I'll write you a list. Take the list and find me these things from various places in Jinling City. You can get as many as you can. "

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

Because, according to their understanding of Qin Tian, ​​as long as Qin Tian mentioned a method, it would definitely be feasible, even if they didn't know what method Qin Tian used.

"Don't worry, son, we will do whatever you ask us to do."

Qin Tian nodded, and immediately wrote several lists. Each list contained several items, but each list was different. He gave each of these lists and asked them to follow the items on the list. try to find.

After Luo Huang and the others took the list and glanced at it, they immediately searched for the things on the list without any hesitation.

After everyone left, Qin Tian sat on a chair in the hall and couldn't help sighing.

He wants to make gunpowder to resist the rebels.

Originally, he didn't intend to make gunpowder. After this thing came out, it would make the war more cruel. Moreover, this thing was so powerful that it would inflate Li Shimin's ambitions.

Expansion of ambition, for this era, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. After all, expansion of ambition means war, and war means death.

But in this situation, without gunpowder, he really didn't know how to defend Jinling City.
