Chapter 460 Attacking Chang'an ([-])

July is the hottest time, even the wind blowing on the face is hot and uncomfortable.If you move casually, sweat will come out of the pores, and the clothes will soon stick to your body. If you have to wear a thick leather armor outside and a helmet on top of your head, you can imagine how uncomfortable it is.

It was precisely because of the high temperature that Li Xian led his army to leave Lei Ze County for two days. He ordered the troops to stop and rest before entering the territory of Wagangzhai in East County. Although this military order was considerate, it didn't seem like his style of acting at all. .Li Xian is a person who likes to use light cavalry the most, and is also the person who is best at using light cavalry. From this, we can actually infer some things about his personality. He likes the dexterity and swiftness of light cavalry, so how can he be slow Tun Tun people?

Therefore, the army is a little confused about King Yan's arrangement this time, and no one knows what King Yan thinks about it.

The army was stationed in a small village called Liujiapu, and it stopped for three days.

Liujiapuzi is a small village that can hardly be found on any map. There are only fifty or sixty households. However, the people who still live here are not the original villagers. The original villagers don’t know where to flee. Where did they go, and now live here are a hundred or ten people who fled from other places.This is not a battleground for military strategists, but because it is at the junction of Dongping County and Dongjun County, there will naturally be more wars.

Although the people's battles between Yanyun Village and Wagang Village were not frequent, small frictions never stopped.The original villagers all fled, but the newcomers simply settled down seeing that the village was still intact.

Therefore, the villagers of Liujiapu do not know that this place is called Liujiapu.

Li Xian stood under the big tree at the entrance of the village, staring at the rangers patrolling back and forth far away in a daze.Although there is a big tree not far behind him, there is a big black umbrella above his head.Where there is a big black umbrella, there is naturally a green kite.But wherever Qing Yuan was, Huang Luan was there most of the time.The reason why it is said most of the time, not absolutely, is because the two of them became free after arriving at Yanyun Village, and they did not have to wait for Wen Jie's orders together anytime and anywhere as before.

Today, both are there.Not only the two of them were there, Ye Huaixiu was also there, and Jiaer was also there.These are women. As for men, besides Li Xian, there are Qin Qiong, Pei Xingyan, Cheng Zhijie, Xiong Kuohai, and Yuwen Shiji.

In other words, it looks like they are standing at the entrance of the village doing nothing, but if you think about it, how can these people be doing nothing when they are together?

"Words have come from the north that Dou Jiande personally leads [-] troops. With Su Dingfang as the vanguard general and Yin Qiu as the deputy general, he intends to cross the river and go down the river while we are going west."

Ye Huaixiu said calmly, as if he was not surprised and eager for such a big event.

"It's a really nice place."

Li Xian did not respond to Ye Huaixiu's words, but said something that made people puzzled.There is barrenness for dozens of miles around here, only the people who fled from the village have cultivated dozens of acres of Susukida.Looking around, there is still a large piece of wasteland, which doesn't look like a good place no matter what.

"It's really a good place."

The one who also sighed was Yuwen Shiji. He squinted his eyes and looked at the distance. He didn't know what beautiful scenery attracted him, and his expression was a little intoxicated.

He sniffled and exclaimed, "The smell is so strong."

"What is the taste?"

Pei Xingyan asked a little puzzled.

Yuwen Shiji turned his head, approached Pei Xingyan and said three words in a serious manner.

"Blood smell."

Pei Xingyan was a little uncomfortable with his appearance, took a step back and said angrily: "I can't see anything good here, I only see a barrenness, and I can't smell any blood, only a stinky smell. taste!"

Yuwen Shiji looked Pei Xingyan up and down, and then said seriously: "People's realms are different, so what they see is naturally different. My lord said this is a good place, but you can't see it, which means your realm is not as good as my lord. I said I smelled it." The smell of blood, but you said you smelled a bad smell, which means...you should look under your feet."

Pei Xingyan looked down, and sure enough, he stepped on shit.

He glared at Yuwen Shiji while rubbing his boots on the ground, Yuwen Shiji smiled and stopped making fun of him.

Qin Qiong smiled and said: "From here, go one hundred miles west and enter Dongjun County. It is estimated that the people and horses in Wagang Village a hundred miles away have already assembled, just waiting for us to bump into them. One hundred miles north, to the Yellow River , Chen Que'er's navy is parked on the river. No matter whether we go west or north, we can get there in one day."

"So it's a good place to be."

Li Xian smiled and asked: "Have you discussed it now, who wants to stay?"

Ye Huaixiu turned his head away, automatically ignoring the question.Naturally, Jiaer wouldn't think about this, Qingyuan and Huangluan raised their jaws equally proudly, as if they were saying that they don't need to think about such annoying issues.The ones who need to struggle seem to be Qin Qiong and the others.

"Gu will leave 2 people behind, and the reinforcements from Juye Ze will come within ten days after Gu leaves. No matter who stays, they must block Wagang Village for at least a month. This is indeed a very difficult thing. .”

"That's why I said, the smell of blood is really strong."

Yuwen Shiji clasped his fists and said: "The last general has not accomplished an inch in Yanyunzhai. This place is so good, and the credit is so great. The final general wants to try."

"it is good!"

Li Xian smiled and said, "It's you!"

Yuwen Shiji sighed and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Li Xian waved his hand and said: "Thank you, I told them just now, no one is allowed to compete with you for this job, it is you and you, not you and you."

Yuwen Shiji said with a wry smile: "This is quite troublesome..."

Li Xian smiled happily and said: "No trouble, I'm bored, I have to have some fun..."

……

……

There has been a stalemate outside Chang'an for half a month, and Li Yuan doesn't seem to be in a hurry to conquer the capital of the Sui Dynasty.It's just that everyone in the city knows that not being in a hurry to fight for a while does not mean that there is no rush to fight in a while.Every day, the troops of the Li family's army would go outside Chang'an City to call for battle, but the defenders in the city just couldn't hold out, and never went to battle.Li's army approached, and a rain of arrows shot down on the city wall. If they were far away and shouted and cursed, they simply ignored them.

I don't know why, but Li Jiajun's provocations only focused on Jinguangmen.The Sui general Wei Xiaojie, who was in charge of guarding the city gate, couldn't figure it out. There are so many gates in Chang'an City, why did Li Jiajun care so much about his side?Wei Xiaojie couldn't guess Li Yuan's intentions, but was on guard every day.Li Yuan's attack was not too violent and seemed a bit powerless. Although it was suspicious, it was by no means a bad thing for the soldiers and civilians in the city.The longer Li Yuan delays, the better it will be for Chang'an.The food and grass in the city is enough to last for half a year, but it is impossible for the reinforcements from Dongdu and Qu Tutong's troops to arrive in less than half a year.

It's just that on the 15th, Wei Xiaojie felt that he knew why Li Yuan's rebel attack was not so violent.

Every day he stood on the city tower and raised his eyes to observe Li Yuan's camp. For several days in a row, he found something was wrong.Today he finally understood what those things he had been paying attention to these days.From the day before yesterday, he discovered that Li Yuan's army seemed to be building something, and the height increased every day. Today, the height of one of them seems to be almost less than the Chang'an city wall.

"It's a building car!"

At some point, Li Jing appeared next to Wei Xiaojie.

"General Li also noticed?"

Wei Xiaojie knew that this person was now a popular person in front of the Dai Wang. Although he didn't have a good impression of this guy who came out of nowhere, Wei Xiaojie, who came from a noble family, kept a good habit of aristocrats, that is, he would never Lost etiquette.According to the current rank, Li Jing is still above him, so he gave a military salute naturally.And the expression on his face is also humble and polite, and he will never pick out a single flaw.

"General Wei is polite."

Li Jing quickly returned the salute, then pointed to Li Yuan's camp outside the city and said: "I have been paying attention to it for the past few days. Li Yuan is not in a hurry these days. It's not a surprising method either, this Louche tactic was used by Da Sui more than [-] years ago, and now he still wants to use it, obviously few of Li's bandits have real skills."

"Oh?"

Wei Xiaojie's eyes brightened and he asked in surprise: "General Li already has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"I have ordered the craftsmen to hurry up and make a batch of vehicles."

"But it can't be installed on the city wall at all?"

Wei Xiaojie asked a question, but in his heart he despised Li Jing's method to the extreme.Although the Chang'an City Wall is tall and wide, it is not easy to transport the huge vehicles up. Besides, even if it is transported up, it is extremely difficult to solve the problem of assembling and stabilizing the city wall.There are also boulders, hundreds of catties of boulders, transported up one by one by manpower, it is simply a fantasy!

It is also a false name.

Wei Xiaojie defined Li Jing in his heart.

"No"

Seeming to have seen through Wei Xiaojie's mind, Li Jing was not angry, he waved his hand and said: "This throwing chariot is not the kind of return cannon that can throw boulders hundreds of steps, it doesn't need to be big, just thirty or twenty Just throw something that weighs a hundred paces away.”

"What's the use of this?"

Wei Xiaojie was puzzled and said: "Pack the vegetable oil in a skin bag. If Li's building cart approaches, he will throw the vegetable oil out with a throwing cart. It is not difficult for an archer to shoot so far from a distance of a hundred paces."

"wonderful!"

Wei Xiaojie couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "The building car is huge and moves slowly. Once it is ignited, it may be burned to the ground within twenty steps.
