Chapter 616 The siege begins (first update, please subscribe)
It's getting late.

Luo Cheng raised his eyes slightly, and said loudly: "It's almost time, let's start."

"Beat the drum."

"Siege."

Luo Cheng's order was simple and clear, but it gave people an inexplicable confidence.

With the sound of beating drums, the morale of the army was boosted, and the war began immediately.

As Luo Cheng said, he arranged for three groups of troops to enter Chang'an City together, with Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, and Pei Yuanqing as the main generals, and each of them attacked a city wall, leaving behind Li Yuan's exit.

Surrounding three and missing one is a routine since ancient times, and Luo Cheng naturally knows it.

Except for the powerful generals of the three routes, generals like Qin Qiong are also in the army.This kind of battle is not only a charge, but also a good time to make contributions. No one will choose to stay out of it.

Of course, Luo Cheng was not prepared to do it himself.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he should focus on protecting himself. It doesn't mean that he can't do anything at all, but the current situation has not reached the time for him to do it. After all, there is only one Li Yuanba.

Jiang Song attacked the east, Yuwen Chengdu attacked the north, and Pei Yuanqing attacked the south.As the drums kept beating, the three groups of people drove forward in unison, and they had already reached the outside of Chang'an City.

Jiang Song stood in front of the army, looking at the heavily guarded tower, his eyes flickered slightly.He lifted the spear in his hand, and the originally calm surroundings revealed a great aura, which was amazing.

Now that it's all over, Jiang Song naturally has no reason to retreat, and the battle is imminent.No matter what the purpose is, this time he will do his best to defeat the defenders.

"All the soldiers listen to the order and start attacking the city!"

Jiang Song yelled coldly, announcing that the real battle had begun.

He took the lead, with a spear in his hand, and the soldiers supported the ladder to charge, and the siege engine and other equipment were also included.

At this moment, the entire city of Chang'an was covered with overcast clouds, and the dim dusk scene made people feel terrified.

……

It is impossible for everyone in the city to be unaware of the huge movement outside the city.

With the urgent report from the defenders, Li Yuan got the news immediately.

"The enemy army has begun to attack the city. This is the time when the life and death of our Tang Dynasty is at stake. Hurry up and gather Jian Jiancheng and Shimin, and follow me to the tower to help in the battle. We must not let the enemy army break through Chang'an." Li Yuan said repeatedly with a dark complexion.

After receiving Li Yuan's order, the guards did not dare to delay, and hurried to find Brother Li Shimin.Time is urgent now, if it is delayed for a moment, it may affect the overall situation, the relationship is critical.

Having been notified by the personal guards, Li Shimin and the others did not dare to delay, so they rushed to the gate tower immediately.Li Yuan had already dispatched soldiers and horses to help the four directions, and he was also watching the battle from the tower.

Seeing Li Shimin brothers coming, he said seriously: "The enemy's momentum is astonishing, I am afraid they want to attack Chang'an in one fell swoop, today is the life and death of our Tang Dynasty, we must not slack off."

Li Shimin and the others all bowed their hands and said yes, they all reached this point, how could they continue to make trouble.Even Li Jiancheng took a deep look at Li Shimin and said nothing.

Now is obviously not the time to make troubles. Once Luo Cheng breaks through Chang'an, everyone present will be relieved.This is not a matter of one person, even if Li Jiancheng is quite dissatisfied with Li Shimin, it is still important to save his life.

Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and said to Li Shimin: "Shimin, let Yuanba prepare. When the big battle starts later, I'm afraid he will have to take action. Don't waste time."

This request is reasonable, and Li Shimin spoke freely.

The defenses of the four sides of the city have already been laid out, and now that the enemy army is attacking, they can't change it.

After the arrangements were made, Li Yuan looked at the enemy army outside the city. This was the east wall, and the general outside the city was Jiang Song.Tens of thousands of elite teachers are waiting in full force, and even Li Yuan feels great pressure.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time Li Yuan met the real Yanyun elite.Before that, it was nothing more than the Xiaolong army plus the coalition forces of various anti-kings, and the combat power displayed was nothing more than that.

"The enemy army is really fierce...but our soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are not vegetarians. You should go all out to let the enemy know that our Tang Dynasty cannot be bullied." Li Yuan paused and said loudly.

In fact, Li Yuan didn't have a bottom line in his heart, the enemy put too much pressure on him.But he is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if even he showed signs of decline, there would be no need to fight this battle.

Although the chances are slim, no one can be sure that Li Tang will lose, Li Yuan still wants to try.He is not willing to be caught without a fight, and the current situation does not allow him to do so.

In addition, Li Yuan is not completely hopeless, he can fight here and make a decision after the battle situation becomes clear.

Previously, Li Shimin's reminder had already made him vigilant. Since ancient times, there have been stories of the cunning rabbit and the three caves.Now that Li Yuan was in an embarrassing situation, he naturally wanted to find a way out for himself.

If Chang'an is broken, I am afraid that other places will not be able to hold on, and the only option is outside the Great Wall.Although Li Yuan was still a little unwilling, but in such a dangerous situation, he had to make a decision.

Li Yuan did this very secretly, so he didn't tell others, even Li Shimin and others didn't know about it.After all, this is not a glorious deed, and it is better for fewer people to know about it.

If it is true that the situation is not good, Li Yuan's move is actually far-sighted.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Li Yuan continued to look outside the city. At this moment, Jiang Song had already brought people to charge.It can be expected that a great battle will start from now on, and the enemy army will attack from three sides.

Li Yuan naturally understands the reason of encircling three and missing one, but once the situation starts to tilt, he can only fight out from the west gate.Even if Yan Yun was in ambush, he had to go, there was no other way.

Like Li Yuan, Li Shimin also looked out of the city with a gloomy expression. The enemy's posture was like this when they came. Could it be that they wanted to break through Chang'an in one fell swoop, but Chang'an is different from Tongguan.

Compared with other people, Li Shimin undoubtedly knows a lot about Luo Cheng.Although Luo Cheng is very fresh, he never does anything he is not sure of, which shows a problem, Luo Cheng must have other preparations.

Relying solely on the three-way army and these ladder engineering vehicles, it is impossible to break through their defense line.Unless Luo Cheng has other preparations, and these are existences that Li Shimin and others don't know about.

Slowly letting out a foul breath, Li Shimin forced himself to calm down.The worst result has not yet appeared, which means that our side still has a chance. If we think too much, we will be suspected of worrying unfoundedly.

At the same time, Jiang Song has already led Yanyun's elite to attack the city.

The defense line set up by the defenders had already been broken through one by one by them. The ladder was erected on the city wall, and many soldiers struggled to climb up, wanting to kill the tower and rob the battle exploits.

Even though they were eager to fight, the army still did not lose order, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The beating of drums continued, and the passionate sound boosted morale.

Luo Cheng's eyes were also focused on the city wall, he knew very well that this was just the beginning, the real good show was yet to come, and it must be able to give Li Yuan a great surprise.
