Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1437 Rebel Siege
The time is ripe.

Three days after the rebels came to Chang'an, King Qi felt that it was almost done.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, even if they go to attack Chang'an City now, no one will think that they are treasonous.

Early in the morning, the five-way rebel army, with 20 soldiers and horses, came to the city of Chang'an mightily.

If it was in the past, people would come and go here, and merchants would never stop.

But today, the gates of Chang'an City are closed tightly, and the murderous aura is rampant, as if a black cloud is overwhelming the city.

Li Shimin did not appear on the tower, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with these rebels. Of course, the most important thing was that he still didn't want to talk to these rebels about the Xuanwu Gate.

Just call directly, what are you talking about so much nonsense?
The person in charge of defense on the tower was Duke Yi Qin Shubao, and beside him were Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Xu Maogong.

King Qi looked up at the city tower, and then chuckled: "Where is Li Shimin, the thief who killed his brother and forced his father, why didn't he dare to come out?"

King Qi scolded, Qin Shubao snorted: "To deal with rebels like you, why do you have to go out in person? If you have the ability, come and attack the city, and see if I don't kill you all."

Qin Shubao didn't show any sign of weakness, and scolded King Qi and the others for a while.

However, Qin Shubao was relatively not very good at scolding, so after a few words of scolding, he let Cheng Yaojin come.

This Cheng Yaojin was born in a reckless family, and he spoke dirty and dirty words very slickly, and he didn't feel ashamed at all when he said it.

In comparison, King Qi was born noble, but he was a bit reluctant to let go.

After the two sides scolded for a while, King Qi was furious.

"His grandma's, wash it for me, wash it for me..."

Forcibly attacking the city is not a wise choice, King Qi also knows this.

But today he still sent troops to attack the city, just to test it out.

After testing, make other decisions.

Amid King Qi's shouts, the rebels swarmed to kill them.

20 rebels, the momentum is mighty.

And when they rushed, Qin Shubao ordered the archers and trebuchets to get ready on the city tower. Of course, what was put on the speculators was not stones, but loud noises.

"put!"

With one order, sharp arrows rained down, and among the sharp arrows, one after another, thunderous noises exploded.

The sky-shattering sound exploded among the rebels, and the rebels who exploded immediately turned their backs and howled endlessly.

These feudal lords had heard about the situation of the sky-shattering sound before, but it was not until today that they had seen how powerful the sky-shattering sound was.

"There is such a weapon in the world, it's not simple, it's not simple."

Shocking, these vassal kings were very shocked, because the lethality of such weapons is too great. If they keep throwing them like this, they basically have no hope of attacking the capital city of Chang'an.

But at this time, Zhentianxiang kept casting.

The rumbling sound exploded below the city, suppressing the screams of the rebels.

One after another, the sky-shattering sounds flew away. In Chang'an City, there are so many sky-shattering sounds, and it is really not afraid of being used up.

Bomb, bomb.

King Qi's eyes were fixed, he didn't expect that his soldiers and horses couldn't even get close to the city wall just because of the loud noise.

And from the looks of it, Tang Jun's shocking sound seems to be inexhaustible. If he keeps rushing to kill, the damage will be serious.

King Qi thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Retreat."

Originally they were just here to test it out, but now they know that the Tang army is so powerful that even if they only have a hundred thousand soldiers, they will not be able to break through Chang'an City, so they can only retreat temporarily.

The rebels retreated one after another, and there was still a smell of gunpowder smoke and blood in front of the gate of Chang'an City.

The combination of the two flavors stimulates the human sense of smell.

Qin Shubao was not very excited when he saw the rebels retreating, but after making some arrangements, he went down the tower.
-
The rebels retreated.

Although they were shocked by the court's loud noise, they retreated in time, and the casualties were not too great.

After the vassal kings of several routes came back, they were all a little downcast.

"Oh, how did this happen, how did this happen?"

'The trembling noise from the imperial court is so powerful, we are afraid that we will not be our opponents. '

"What should we do next?"

"There is no turning back when we open the bow. Since we have already rebelled, we have no way out. We can only compete with Li Shimin to win the king and lose the bandit."

Several vassal kings spoke, and then turned their attention to King Qi. King Qi thought for a moment and said: "From today's situation, if we want to defeat Qin Shubao and capture Chang'an City, it is impossible to forcefully attack, so, We can only outsmart it.”

Hearing about outsmarting, these vassal kings couldn't help but smile wryly. The top advisors of the Tang Dynasty were all in Chang'an City, working for Li Shimin. They compared their wisdom with Li Shimin. Isn't that humiliating themselves?
In their view, the best way is to use force to solve everything.

The knife is the most important thing, no one can be an exception,

King Qi didn't take it seriously, and said: "Don't forget, we still have a trump card in Chang'an City. Now, since we can't capture Chang'an City, we can only cooperate with him from the inside out. Send someone to send news to Li Yuanjing. Tomorrow night, attack Chang'an City at night."

The news of King Qi quickly reached Li Yuanjing.

Ever since the rebels came to Chang'an City, Li Yuanjing has been very quiet, showing no trace of any contact with the rebels.

He knew very well that the more he was in this situation, the more calm he had to be.

Even if the rebel army retreated today, he didn't show the slightest expression.

Now that King Qi's letter has arrived, Li Yuanjing is even calmer.

He glanced at King Qi's letter, and immediately burned it clean after reading it.

In the already winter weather, the wisp of green smoke is still a little warm.

"Order to go down, tomorrow night, start action."

Regarding the internal response, Li Yuanjing has already made arrangements. All that is needed is to cooperate with King Qi. Whenever King Qi thinks it is possible to cooperate internally and externally, the people he placed in Chang'an City will soon be able to gather at the city gate. At the same night, the gate tower was opened.

Once the gate of Chang'an City is opened, their 20 soldiers and horses are by no means comparable to Li Shimin's [-] soldiers and horses.

Moreover, in Chang'an City, Li Shimin didn't have much advantage to speak of.

This world is destined not to belong to Li Shimin,

After Li Yuanjing gave this order, someone soon passed on his order, and his people spread all over Chang'an. It would definitely be troublesome to notify, but it would definitely not delay the night attack tomorrow night.

Thinking that tomorrow night, Chang'an City will be breached, and the long-cherished wish will be fulfilled, Li Yuanjing's heart is suddenly excited.
