Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 453 Chapter 440
Hearing Li Chengqian's order, the soldiers under his command hesitated a little at this moment, but they still swarmed up and set up the ladder, intending to storm the Taiji Gate.

However, the guards around Li Chengqian quickly raised their shields and surrounded Li Chengqian, fearing that Xue Rengui would shoot another arrow and shoot Li Chengqian directly.

But to be honest, Xue Rengui still has a bit of a brain.

He aimed at Li Chengqian's horse and shot, first to lower the morale of these guys, and second to give a warning.

Otherwise, even if Xue Rengui really shoots Li Chengqian and resolves this crisis, unless Li Tai directly rebels and imprisons Li Shimin, Xue Rengui needs to think about what kind of punishment Li Shimin will use to tear himself into pieces.

So at this moment, Xue Rengui watched the opponent's army encircling him, and said calmly: "We have a high-strength barrier, and our armor is strong. Here, one man is in charge of the gate, and no one can open it. Such jumping beams and clowns will definitely not be able to pass through our Taiji Gate!"

During the speech, Xue Rengui first sent messengers to the Tai Chi Palace to deliver a message, indicating that the prince had turned against him.

Then, the few thousand soldiers left by him were divided into three groups, one with 500 soldiers, one with 300 soldiers, and one with 200 soldiers.

Among them, 500 people are responsible for guarding the city gate. After all, the armor on their bodies and the size of the city gate itself determine that 500 people with their armor are enough to hold the front line.

The other 300 people are the new force, and they will be on top when they need to be rotated. As for the remaining 200 people, they have been transferred to archers.

It doesn't matter if you can't shoot properly, as long as you can shoot arrows.

Let them shoot arrows indiscriminately. Anyway, they are wearing armor and can't shoot to death.

The only thing Xue Rengui felt was that the number of soldiers on hand was really not enough.

But there is no way, the Taijimen garrison generally implements a three-shift system, so the soldiers under the command are divided into three shifts.

Almost two days of training and one day of guarding a leisurely life, but now this leisurely life is probably coming to an end.

It has to be said that although Li Chengqian was shot with an arrow, he was not intimidated by Xue Rengui's arrow because of his own arrogance.

This boosted the courage of the soldiers who followed Li Chengqian to fight for their future.

They decisively set up a ladder, and the barbs on the ladder were firmly stuck on the wall. A soldier from the Prince's Mansion and a Turkic survivor climbed towards the city wall under Li Anyan's command.

It's just that when they braved the arrows and climbed up the city wall, what awaited them was a thick defense line like a copper wall and an iron wall.

The armor on each of Tie Piodao's body was so thick that it would break if a sharp knife hit them.

But they didn't carry enough heavy weapons, and it was impossible to go back and get them now.

Moreover, those who climbed the ladder couldn't carry any heavy weapons on their bodies at all. If they could have a suit of armor and a few Tang knives on their backs, they were already quite well equipped!
It's just that their equipment is excellent, and it's too bad for the school soldiers who are almost covered in heavy armor.

In particular, these school soldiers are familiar with the use of Tang Dao, as if the Tang Dao in their hands is a body derivative.

Every time the knife is cut, what kind of strength should be, how should the angle be deflected, and how fast should be the speed, all of which are full of calmness and calmness.

It seems that they are devout kendo believers who have been pondering about Tang Dao for half their lives.

Xue Rengui's defense line is still like a solid wall, and the continuous attacks of the rebels in the Prince's Mansion can't shake Xue Rengui's defense line at all.

On the contrary, more people were thrown directly from the city wall of the Taiji Gate, at least their faces would be covered in blood.

At this moment, Hegan Chengji was extremely angry as he watched his clansmen continue to fall.

Because relatively speaking, the equipment worn by the Turkic people is the worst, one is that they are not used to it, and the other is that Hou Junji spared a lot of time when distributing the equipment.

People who are not of my race must have different minds, how normal.

Therefore, among the people rushing to the Prince's Mansion at this moment, the Turkic people were the ones who suffered the most casualties.

Hegan Chengji couldn't help turning his eyes, but found that the imperial army in the command of Li Anyan was completely motionless.

This made Hegan Chengji couldn't help shouting angrily at Li Anyan:

"Li Anyan, why don't your imperial guards rush forward? They are all under the prince's command. What's your intention!"

Hearing Hegan Chengji's angry shout, Li Anyan glanced at Hegan Chengji with disdain, and then looked at Li Chengqian.

"Don't get angry! We are in the same boat today, and I believe that Li Dianwei will not make fun of his own life!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Anyan pursed his lips when he heard Li Chengqian's excuse, and said,

"Reporting to the prince, Xue Rengui is a powerful general in the world, and the soldiers of the academy under his command are amazingly coordinated in armor, and have a record of 30 victories and [-] victories against the Tubo army. They are a formidable army.

Naturally, ordinary methods cannot break them! "

"So, you have an extraordinary method!" Li Chengqian said in a deep voice when he heard Li Anyan's words.

"It's only the first step to let the government soldiers and Hun servants consume them. After all, they wear heavy armor to improve their defense. Even if they have adaptive talents, their physical strength is still their biggest shortcoming."

"Even though it's a shortcoming, as long as they guard here, we can't break through the Taiji Gate, but we can't do anything to them!" Li Chengqian said, frowning.

"So, when I came here, I sent people to the treasury to get the crossbow, but it's not convenient to carry it.

So I didn't keep up with us, but the time should be up by a quarter of an hour later! "Li Anyan said calmly.

"Very good! The widow will wait for you for another quarter of an hour." Li Chengqian couldn't help looking in the direction of Wei Wangfu, and murmured,
"I don't know if Chen Guogong has taken down Wei Wangfu!"

At this time, Hou Junji wanted to scold his mother.

Because he never expected that his raid would fail.

When he was ready to do something, he directly used his own frontal attraction, and separated two soldiers from the flank wall to climb into Wei Wang's mansion with a ladder.

After all, they are ready to use force these days, who would open the front door and fight to the death!
No way, no way, do you really have the ignorant idea that you think the door is the weakest defense because you think the door is in the front?
As long as you have fought a few siege battles, you will understand that just because the gate of the city looks the weakest, the defense of the gate of the city is often the strongest.

In contrast, many parts of the city wall look solid, but when you hit them with a car or climb directly with a ladder, you can often get a miraculous effect when the main attack direction is aimed at the city wall.

Therefore, Hou Junji had absolutely no intention of confronting Li Tai positively.

After all, even Hou Junji would have a headache if he saw those school soldiers in armor.

Therefore, Hou Junji directly adopted the tactics of attracting the main force and interspersing surprise soldiers when attacking Wei Wangfu.

This kind of tactical literacy, for a veteran like Hou Junji, is an instinct that does not require brains to think.

To be honest, even Li Tai didn't expect that Hou Junji would face the Raiders when dealing with him, it was really shameless.

It's just that Hou Junji never imagined that when Li Tai built the Wei Palace, he made the inner wall and the land outside the outer wall hollow.

There are traps inside, wooden boards are placed on it, straw and earth are thrown on it, and then a thin layer of limestone is covered.

Originally, it would be no problem to walk normally, but if the wooden plank below is pulled out and loses its support, the upper layer of seemingly thick ground will really kill people if people step on it.

Now, these soldiers who managed to climb over the outer courtyard wall of Wei Wangfu from the ladder looked at the inner courtyard wall far away from them, but without any hesitation, they decisively jumped to the ground first!

The solid feeling of stepping on the ground did not come at all, and the whole ground collapsed directly.

"Boom!" "Ah——" One counts as one, basically as long as they jump directly to the ground, their own weight, plus the weight of the armor on their bodies, directly broke the wooden boards used for reinforcement.

The whole person fell into the trap prepared for them, and there was no other way to deal with it except for a scream.

Hearing this voice, Li Tai's expression couldn't help changing, and he turned his eyes to Zu Changming and said, "You take a thousand corvees and go to fully activate the defense of the Wei Palace, and then go to the warehouse to get Tang knives, bows and arrows, and do a good job of defending the surrounding area. "

"Understood!" Zu Changming replied directly when he heard Li Tai's words, and immediately started to make arrangements.

"Let's take our guards to the main gate!" Li Tai said to Lu Anshou, "Except for my guards, no one else in the mansion is qualified to be armored. If we can't resist Hou Junji's attack, there will be no future." !"

"Please rest assured, King Wei, before I die, no one can hurt you!" Lu Anshou said confidently.

"Don't say such unlucky words at this time, we still have to live until they punish them!" Li Tai said.

But the most important thing at this time is to give your own soldiers time to put on their armor.

After all, he is now in Chang'an, and even more so in the Prince Wei's residence. Even if Li Tai has prepared in advance, it is impossible for these people to sleep in heavy armor.

So at the moment when Hou Junji was attacking, except for some of the night guards who were wearing armor, everyone else was sleeping in dreamland.

Even if someone wakes you up and wants to join the guard, you have to go to the warehouse to put on your armor first.

"Hou Junji, you are so shameless!" Li Tai couldn't help complaining in his heart.

However, it will take time for Wei Wangfu to launch a comprehensive defense, Li Tai understands this, and Hou Junji understands it even more.

This is why Hou Junji immediately launched an attack when he saw that King Wei did not open the door.

If King Wei had made all the preparations, even if King Wei opened the door, he would come out with fully armed soldiers from the academy, not a group of soldiers who just woke up from sleep.

Therefore, Hou Junji immediately launched an attack on Wei Wangfu.

It's just that what Hou Junji didn't expect was that the so-called garden repairs that King Wei these days didn't mean to build gardens, but to build military fortresses at all.

Using the outer walls of the Prince's Mansion to block the sight of ordinary people, at least before Hou Junji attacked here, he didn't know that Wei Wang's Mansion actually built such a fortress, which directly caused a big loss for himself who had the first-hand advantage .

Even with the disappearance of the first-hand advantage, as long as Wei Wang reacts and puts his personal soldiers in armor, then this war may become a tug-of-war!
"Remove the ladder and prepare to storm the city!" Hou Junji calmed down and gave an order.

After all, it was a rebellion this time, and Hou Junji was well prepared to take the ladder with him when he dealt with Wei Wangfu.

Since the tactic of using the ladder to assault failed, only a strong attack was left.

And things like ladders are really not the ladders in the movies, the ones with barbs.
When placed against a wall, the barbs form an inverted triangle for reinforcement, and sometimes the barbs even hook into the wall.

This makes it difficult to take down the ladder, which is naturally much more convenient for the attacking party.

But because Hou Junji didn't expect that the Wei Palace had a double structure of the inner city, all the ladders he placed at the beginning caused trouble for himself.

After all, Hou Junji also felt that the ladders he had brought were enough, so he absolutely didn't think about the situation in front of him.

Hou Junji carefully observed the inner city, but saw that the inner city wall was not straight up.

Instead, it is slightly inclined to the outside for reinforcement, and at the same time, the gate of the inner city is slightly sunken, making it look a bit deep.

Hou Junji looked around, but couldn't find a suitable point of leverage, but what made Hou Junji even more headache was the protruding part of the inner courtyard wall.

A sentry tower with a roof was built, and a famous archer hid in the sentry tower, pouring his arrows towards the ground, directly colliding with Hou Junji's army who broke through the outer wall and broke into the inner wall, forming a cross shot.

For Hou Junji's soldiers, even though most of them were already wearing armor, they were under great pressure at the moment.

"Find the sandbags! Find the bumper!" Hou Junji didn't expect to enter the outer wall, and there were even tougher bones waiting for him.

No matter how anxious Hou Junji was, he did not lose his composure, because he clearly knew that being anxious was useless.

It's just that he didn't expect that the inner fort built by King Wei would be so strong.

Except for the straight passage at the door, which is solid, most of the corridors between the inner and outer walls are hollow.

This made it impossible for the ladder to be raised even if it was brought over, because the opponent did not increase the height of the wall, but after digging three feet into the ground, it also raised the height of the wall when it was defending.

In this way, not only did it not violate the royal family's etiquette system for the prince, and it prevented others from saying that the king of Wei was rebelling, but at the same time, it effectively prevented the attack of simple engineering weapons such as ladders. As for large siege weapons...

your sister!I was a rebel, and I didn't intend to attack the city. Who knew that I would use a large siege weapon.

So now we can only use sandbags and bumping wood to force open the door on the second floor!
"Chen Guogong, you are now leading troops to attack the Prince's Mansion, and you have no intention of rebellion. If you surrender now, I will tell the Holy Majesty that all this is a misunderstanding. Please, Chen Guogong, please don't make mistakes!" Li Tai's voice echoed on the city wall. sounded.

Li Tai saw that his personal guards hadn't put on their armor yet. In the absence of enough manpower to defend, even if he didn't report any hope, the first layer of the city wall was destroyed too quickly, so he wanted to delay it anyway. !
At this moment, Hou Junji was also thinking that his sandbag had not come over, and he was also arguing with Li Tai to make the other party take it lightly.

It has to be said that no matter which of these two guys cut their hearts, they will definitely not be red.

　The next update will definitely be after twelve o'clock, so don't wait any longer, I'm going to watch the preview of Mihayou.
