Man Tanghong

Chapter 1011 Vulnerable

After all, the bed crossbow is extremely lethal. A string of two or three is a common occurrence. As long as you aim, even if someone is blocking you, you can kill it with one blow.

However, the lethality of bows and arrows is limited. If you want to achieve a string of two or three, you have to ask Yang Kan or Yang Youji, a real archer who can open a thousand-jin bow in history, to do it. Ordinary people can't do it. of.

Therefore, for ordinary people, bed crossbows are far more effective than bows and arrows when defending the city.

"Is everything ready?"

Li Yuanji followed Li Shimin to inspect the defenses on the city wall, and when he walked to the city gate building, he happened to see the steward of the Xiangyi Racecourse waiting in front of the city gate building, so he asked without hesitation.

The steward bowed and said unhurriedly: "It's all done, Your Highness can check it at will!"

Li Yuanji nodded.

He had just checked what needed to be checked, everything was prepared properly, and there were no omissions, so he knew that the person in charge was not telling lies, and there was no need to check again.

"You seem confident and not nervous at all?"

Li Yuanji stared at the steward and smiled.

The manager grinned, "There's nothing to be nervous about, it's just six thousand thugs..."

Li Yuanji laughed when he heard this, "Oh, what a big tone!"

The steward hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "I'm not speaking loudly, but I've seen even bigger scenes. When I was with my family Alang in Shizhou, Jieli led tens of thousands of soldiers to the south and filled the entire city of Shizhou. If it is full, the servants were not afraid at that time, so how can they be afraid at this time?"

The reason why the person in charge calls himself a servant, rather than a villain or a minister, is because he is a part of Li Shenfu, and he has already entered the family of Li.

Li Yuanji nodded and smiled and said: "That's true, people who have seen big scenes will not be intimidated by such small scenes. Then I will give you the full power here. My second brother and I are quiet in the city gate building." Waiting for your good news."

The steward raised his chest without hesitation and promised: "Don't worry, unless the servant dies, we will never let the thief jump even half a step onto the city wall!"

Li Yuanji nodded, without further words, he stepped into the city gate.

During this period, Li Shimin kept rolling his eyes.

After Li Yuanji found a couch in the small city gate and sat down, he couldn't help but look at Li Shimin and asked, "Do you have an eye disease?"

Li Shimin also found a couch in the city gate building. After searching for a long time but failed to find it, he simply sat down on the only low table in the city gate building, and said angrily: "Did you forget?" Already, you have given me full authority over the matter of this war?"

It was so hard to have fun and relieve the itching, but he was banned before he started to show his strength, and no one would look good.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "It's my fault. I was so busy talking to Li Lu just now that I forgot about it. You see, it's all up to you, and I won't say a word. "

Li Shimin snorted, crossed his arms, and gave a reluctantly agreed look.

Not long after Li Shimin finished humming, there were bursts of hissing outside the city.

Li Shimin got up slightly at first, then sat down again, raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically and said: "You say Yang Zhengdao is stupid, Yang Zhengdao is really stupid! How can such a person dare to lead troops if he can fall into such an obvious trap? "

War horses usually neigh only when they are resisting something, or when they are injured, or when they are having fun.

And now it was midnight, not the time for war horses to have fun.

War horses rarely neigh when they march naturally.

Therefore, the bursts of neighing outside the city must be the neighing of Yang Zhengdao's war horses after they fell into the horse pit.

As Li Shimin said, the horse trap he designed is indeed obvious. As long as Yang Zhengdao sends out scouts to search carefully, he will definitely find it.

But now that the horses under Yang Zhengdao's command are trapped, it means that Yang Zhengdao probably took back all the scouts when he arrived ten miles outside Baiyang City, and began to charge towards Baiyang City.

As a result, it would be difficult for the horses under his command not to fall into it.

Judging from Li Shimin's superb military vision, Yang Zhengdao's behavior was undoubtedly stupid, and it was a stupid behavior that could not be more stupid, so he couldn't help but sneer.

Li Yuanji could understand Yang Zhengdao quite well. After all, Yang Zhengdao was not a general with outstanding military talent, and he didn't have any generals like Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Xue Wanche around him.

It is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions when he uses troops in the way of a counselor.

If there are no mistakes or omissions, then there will be problems.

Not everyone is Liu Rengui, nor is everyone Xin Qiji.

Lifting a pen can set the world in peace, and getting on a horse can set the world.

Although Chinese people have liked all-rounders in civil and military affairs since ancient times, and there have been many all-rounders in both civil and military affairs in history, there are not many of them if we really count them.

There are even fewer who have made great achievements in both civil and military fields.

Although Yang Zhengdao received the top education of this era since he was a child, whether a person can master both civil and martial arts and make great achievements in both aspects does not depend on learning, but depends on talent and luck .

Talent can be inherited, but luck can only be granted by God.

And God seems to love only a very, very few people.

Did not sprinkle the earth with His fraternity.

Therefore, Yang Zhengdao, a counselor, drove the ducks to the shelves to lead the army, was able to break through the barriers formed by Li Jing, Su Dingfang and others, and brought 6000 people here, which is not easy.

Another counselor might not be as good as him.

Of course, the counselors here refer to the counselors of Suni who lost his troops, not the counselors of the Tang Dynasty.

There seem to be a lot of advisers in the Tang Dynasty capable of writing and fighting.

People like Ren Gui, Changsun Wuji, Xie Shufang, Liu Rengui, Wang Xuance, etc. are all fine.

If they lead the army, they will definitely do better than Yang Zhengdao.

This also proves from the side that Datang is now God's favorite son, and he is still a concubine. God has spread all his love to Datang.

Therefore, Datang is destined to become the only overlord on this land, destined to shine in the annals of history.

"Your Highness, the thief is here!"

About an hour after the neighing of war horses outside the city disappeared, the deafening hooves of horses resounded outside the city again.

There are 6000 people, each with four horses, and they are really full of momentum when they run.

Not only did the earthquake make people's ears ring, but it also made the earth tremble.

The city gate building, which was not very strong, was even shaken so much that some earth fell.

Just as Li Yuanji flicked off the soil that fell on his sleeves, Li Lu, the steward of the Xiangyi Racecourse, rushed to the gate of the city gate to report.

Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing. Li Shimin stood up at this time and ordered with a stern face: "Order all soldiers to be on guard. Once the enemy enters the range of the bed crossbow, immediately shoot the leader with the bed crossbow!"

When Li Lu faced Li Shimin's order, he didn't hesitate like Xue Wanche, he agreed without hesitation, and went down to make arrangements.

Although Li Shimin no longer has any official title, he is still a direct descendant of the Li family. He, a retainer of a collateral line of the Li family, is a servant in front of the direct descendants of the Li family, regardless of whether he has an official title or no title, so he can give Li Shimin's orders. listen.

The reason why he can listen is because he is also qualified to refuse when facing some things.

For example, Li Shimin's order conflicted with Li Yuan's order, or it conflicted with Li Yuanji's order.

Then he doesn't have to listen to Li Shimin.

After all, in the current Li family, Li Yuan is the biggest, followed by Li Yuanji, then Li Chengde, and Li Shimin is at the end of all direct descendants.

In terms of status and status, in terms of the right to speak within the Li family, he is not as good as his two sons.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

"..."

Not long before Li Lu left the city gate building, the sound of crossbow strings and bowstrings sounded outside the city gate building.

There was no shouting or shouting, only a crossbow gun and arrows flying around.

After the crossbow spear and arrow flew for about a few breaths, Li Lu appeared in front of the city gate building again, bringing a ridiculous news.

"Your Highness, the thief ordered someone to shoot a letter in, would you like to read it?"

Li Lu asked in front of the city gate with a letter with an arrow hole.

Li Yuanji nodded, but remained silent.

Li Shimin ordered, "Submit it!"

Li Lu handed the letter to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened the letter and read it quickly with the help of the oil lamp in the city gate building, and laughed angrily at the contents of the letter, "Oh, Yang Zhengdao doesn't have much ability, but his tone is not small.

He said that he knew that there were not many soldiers and horses available in Baiyang City. He also said that we were not his opponents, so we should go out of the city and surrender. In this way, he would not embarrass us for the sake of his in-laws, and it would be delicious. Delicious drinks served us. "

Li Yuanji nodded and said with a smile: "The tone is indeed loud and arrogant!"

Li Shimin threw the letter aside as if throwing rubbish, and said to Li Lu with a sneer: "Since he wants to play, then I will play with him. You go and let the soldiers shout, just say that whoever cut off Yang Zhengdao's head, no matter what!" No matter who they are, they will be given to the Marquis of the country, and five hundred households will be sealed!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanji laughed and said, "You are trying to force Yang Zhengdao's subordinates to rebel against him!"

The people under Yang Zhengdao's command are all Han Chinese who have been in Turkic for many years, enslaved or oppressed by Turkic people for many years. Their life is not satisfactory, and some people probably want to go back to the Central Plains.

They came here with Yang Zhengdao to fight for wealth and change their living environment, not to change the dynasty.

If someone gives more and has more credibility than Yang Zhengdao, then they can also turn their guns against Yang Zhengdao.

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "If he dares to underestimate us, then I dare to show him how vulnerable he is!"
