Man Tanghong

Li Yuanji came up with an immature solution.

That is, he led [-] fine cavalry to set up an ambush outside the pass. I dare not say that he could hit the Turkic people in one hit and defeat them.

He has this ability and this confidence.

But he didn't say this method, because he knew very well that Cai Yungong, Chen Shuda and others would not agree to his identity as a fierce general who charged into the battle.

During the war, Li Shimin was able to lead more than a hundred cavalry to provoke the enemy's city frequently because Li Shimin was not the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and also because Li Shimin had a huge army behind him.

Right now, hundreds of thousands of Turkic people are raging outside the customs. Those who go out to attack are a lone army, and there is a [-]% chance that they will never return.

So Cai Yungong, Chen Shuda and others would not let him go no matter what they said.

Unless he can pass on the identity of the person in power to Li Jiancheng on the spot, and go out and set up an ambush as King Qi.

The question is, is this possible?

"Which one of you has a way to deal with it?"

Li Yuanji looked at Cai Yungong, Chen Shuda and others and asked.

Youdao is three cobblers, the best Zhuge Liang.

What's more, it is a group of outstanding people who have left their names in history.

Since Liu Hongji had nothing to do, and he couldn't tell his solution, he could only ask Ji Qunchen.

"If His Royal Highness King Yan can be dispatched to Lanshi for help, then this situation can be resolved..."

Someone whispered nonsense.

Li Yi could indeed fight, and the troops under his command were all elite soldiers and strong generals.

Previously, during the conquest of Liu Heita, one person led an army from Youzhou to Xingzhao, and the horse stepped on half of the Hebei Road.

If he is sent to Lanshi to poke the Turkic man in the eye, it will definitely make the Turkic man extremely happy.

But Li Yi's attitude towards the imperial court is unclear now. After Li Jiancheng was defeated and imprisoned, he almost lost contact with the imperial court, and he did not send anyone to Chang'an to express his attitude.

Even his younger brother Li Shou was called back by him for an excuse.

It's too late for the imperial court to guard against Li Yi, and it will show Li Yi his weakest side.

What if Li Yi has already decided to turn against him, and has hooked up with Liang Shidu and the Turkic people.

You transferred Li Yi to Lanshi to help, isn't it just to lure wolves into the house?

Li Yuanji ignored this nonsense guy, and Cai Yungong, Chen Shuda and others even pretended not to hear his nonsense.

"You guys, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Li Yuanji asked again, still the same question.

After hesitating for a long time, Cai Yungong, Chen Shuda and others shook their heads together.

Known as the first achievement in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Hongji, who has always been unparalleled on the battlefield, has nothing to do. What can the few civil servants and a group of military officials who are not as good as Liu Hongji do.

Let them go to the battlefield with swords to fight the Turkic people head-on, they are okay, but let them find a way to break the situation, they really can't.

"Xue Shou, where's Yu Zhining?"

Li Yuanji thought of Xue Shou, Yu Zhining and others accompanying him.

These two people have been by Li Shimin's side all these years, and they have often helped Li Shimin make suggestions and help Li Shimin break the crisis.

Cai Yungong, Chen Shuda and the others had no choice, and they couldn't count on it, so let's see if they can do anything.

"Just now, I was arranged by the minister to go to the city treasury to count the ordnance."

Chen Shuda bowed to answer.

The battle Xiao Guan was going to face this time was extremely ferocious, so he needed a lot of weapons, among which arrows were the most important.

Therefore, we must count one or two to see if there is enough. If not, we must hurry up and order Li Gang and others to order the supervisor to lead people to speed up the production.

"Call them here for questioning!"

Li Yuanji ordered.

As soon as the words fell, a stone bomb fell on a corner of the city gate building, and after a bang, a gap was smashed in the city gate building.

Gravel, rubble, and sawdust flew across.

Cai Yungong, Chen Shuda and others almost subconsciously surrounded Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji was very calm, Liu Hongji was also very calm, and all the military officials were also very calm.

Li Yuanji had already seen this kind of scene in Weizeguan, and he had seen many of them, so there was no disturbance in his heart.

Liu Hongji and a group of military officials have been in the army for many years, and they are not surprised by this situation.

"Go get my armor!"

Cai Yungong, Chen Shuda and others were always used as bodyguards, but it was not appropriate to serve as human shields, so Li Yuanji ordered someone to fetch his armor.

He with armor and he without armor are completely two people.

With armor on his body, he is not afraid of any stone bullets and arrows. When necessary, he can also act as a human-shaped trebuchet, showing the Turkic people what is called a true god in the world.

Without armor on his body, he was easily injured by stone bullets and arrows. He was just powerful, but not invulnerable.

The gravel from the stone bombs, as well as the sudden arrows, could cause him fatal damage.

So in order to prevent himself from being hurt, and to prevent Cai Yungong, Chen Shuda and others from being implicated in order to protect him, it is better for him to wear armor.

"I will send someone to summon you!"

"The minister will send someone to fetch it!"

Cai Yungong and Chen Shuda spoke one after the other.

When they were about to leave, Li Yuanji said to the group of civil and military personnel: "Go down and put on your armor, so as not to be hurt by arrows and broken stones, the loss outweighs the gain."

All civil and military personnel agreed and left the city gate building together.

After the civil and military personnel left, Li Yuanji slowly stood up and said to Liu Hongji, "Take me to see how many Turkic people there are outside the city."

It’s been a long time since I talked on the city wall, but I haven’t seen the Turkic camp outside the pass, and I haven’t seen the whiteness mentioned in the document, and I can’t see the animal skin tent at the end.

Liu Hongji hesitated for a moment, and ordered someone to take a huge shield and put it on the crenel in front of the city gate, and then took Li Yuanji to the city wall.

The smell of fireworks on the city wall was very strong, and it also carried a strong stench, which was so thick that it could hardly be melted away. Blown by the cold wind, it enveloped all places inside and outside the pass.

The soldiers yelled loudly, holding bows and crossbows and shooting fiercely at the Turkic people outside the city.

The Turks were attacking with ladders, round shields, and catapults.

The momentum on both sides is very strong, and the shouts of killing are loud.

Arrows also flow back and forth like rain.

As soon as Li Yuanji lay down on the crenel and took a look outside, he saw the overwhelming arrows coming from the sky.

The dots of black are oppressive, very oppressive.

Liu Hongji immediately blocked Li Yuanji's eyes with a shield, and tried his best to persuade Li Yuanji to go back to the city gate.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I've seen this kind of scene in Weizeguan, it won't frighten me, so you don't have to be nervous."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji wrinkled his nose and said, "Did the soldiers use gold juice while we were talking?"

Golden juice is a thick liquid boiled out of feces. It is boiling hot. If it is poured in a pot, all enemies who are scalded will be scalded, and the wound will be quickly infected.

In the case of not being able to cut the flesh and wrists quickly, there is basically no life.

No way, who made it so that there were no antibiotics at this time.

In addition to golden juice, there are also a series of sharp weapons related to feces, such as dirty arrows.

Its purpose is to infect the enemy with bacteria, so that there is no cure for medicine and stone, and a painful death.

Although it is inhumane to do so, who will tell you humanity on the battlefield.

The only thing everyone on the battlefield can do and say is to kill the enemy in the fastest and most convenient way.

Any decisive methods such as polluting water sources and spreading plagues will appear on the battlefield.

Both the righteous party and the evil party will use it when the killing is crazy.

Even if they know that polluting water sources and spreading plagues will cause serious consequences, even if they know that this is a way to kill one thousand enemies and harm eight hundred, the leader of the army will not hesitate to use it when it is time to use it. use.

In the eyes of many rotten Confucians, humanity is the bottom line of being a human being, and it is something that a human being must adhere to.

But in the eyes of the generals who lead the army, only those who have won and survived are qualified to be human beings and to speak humanely.

Therefore, using everything to the extreme is the correct way to open the war, and it is also the place where the war is cruel.

"Yes... right now the Turkic elite has not yet emerged, and the soldiers and horses of the Liangshi capital have not moved. The bed crossbow and other powerful ordnance should be used sparingly, so gold juice and other things are the best weapons to defeat the enemy."

Liu Hongji nodded and replied.

Gold juice is not only free of money, but also easy to find, easy to use, and more lethal.

Definitely use it when you can.

If you don't use it when you can use it, you are extorting money.

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "If you can repel the enemy, you can use whatever is convenient, but you don't need to save on bed crossbows and other things, because you may not be able to fight with the soldiers and horses of Liang Shidu for a long time."

Liu Hongji looked at Li Yuanji puzzled.

Li Yuanji explained with a smile: "When I first left Chang'an City, Tang Jian, who I sent to Yanzhou, sent back news that he had persuaded Tudiji and a dozen tribes outside Yanzhou to form a group together. A team of 3000 cavalry set out to attack Shuofang City.

Given how much Liang Shidu valued Shuofang City, he would come back for help no matter what. "

Liu Hongji was astonished, he didn't know this happened.

He only knew that Li Jing led a team of soldiers and horses to leave Xiaoguan silently a long time ago, and disappeared in the vast grassland outside the pass. He guessed that he went to see Jieli and Tuli's wife, namely Ke He Dun.

Since Xiaoguan is the only way to the Turks, Li Jing had to pass through Xiaoguan, and only then did he see some clues.

But Yanzhou is far in the northeast of Datang, and there is no need to go through Xiaoguan to go to Yanzhou, and no one has given him any information about it, so he doesn't know anything.

Now that he heard what Li Yuanji said, he knew that Li Yuanji had arranged such a move.

Let Tudiji take someone to stab Liang Shidu in the butt, thanks to Li Yuanji's idea.

However, he had to admit that this move was still very good.

Because he didn't expect Li Yuanji to do such a thing, and Liang Shidu naturally didn't expect it either, so Tudiji will definitely succeed in his sneak attack this time.

If the soldiers and horses led by Tudiji are brave enough, they can also raid the Sanfeng City on the edge of Shuofang City.

It is said that the grain and grass collected by Liang Shidu in recent years and the money collected are all stored in Sanfeng City.

If Tudiji could lead a wave of looting, he would definitely be very rich.

After all, although Liang Shidu has been paying tribute to the Turkic people these years, he has accumulated a lot of money and grain by virtue of excessive taxation and the hunting of grass valleys with the Turkic people.

This money and food is enough for the tribe of Sudiji to quickly grow dozens of times, or even more.

The most wonderful thing about this move is that in the eyes of Liang Shidu, Tudiji is just a big grasshopper who leads three thousand households and only three or four thousand people who control strings. It is impossible to provoke him, a behemoth, and he cannot afford to This is a huge monster, so he won't be on guard against Tudiji, and Tudiji is even easier to sneak attack.
