Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

When they jumped in anger, the Tang soldiers and horses had successfully crossed the ditch and came to the low wall defense line that Gaochang Kingdom was proud of.

In the end, before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, they watched as Tang Jun launched several siege vehicles under the command of Li You!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In a series of banging sounds, the low wall was already hit with cracks, which scared Zhang Tian and Kan Bi almost to death!

"The whole army obeys the order! Go out of the city and fight the Tang army immediately!"

In desperation, the two had to forcibly send part of the Gaochang Kingdom's garrison troops to stop the Tang army from continuing to destroy the low wall. But under the protection of the surrounding Datang army, how could the Gaochang Kingdom's army approach easily?

"Boom!"

In the next second, a hole several feet wide had been knocked out of the low wall, leaving Zhang Tian and the others horrified!

"The low wall is broken! All return to the city!" Kan Wei shouted, "Close the city gate immediately! Guard our last line of defense!"

Both he and Zhang Tian understand that since a hole has been opened in the low wall, it can no longer be defended... Under such circumstances, only the city wall of Gaochang City itself is their last line of defense. Must be on guard!

After completely destroying the low wall, Li You also ordered the troops to withdraw.

"It seems that they are going to jump over the wall in a hurry... Now that all the defense facilities of Gaochang Kingdom have been destroyed, only the last fig leaf is left, so there is no value in continuing to attack."

Facing the puzzled eyes of Li Ji and Su Dingfang, Li You explained.

"Although it is not impossible to continue fighting, and it is also very responsive to morale, this king still prefers to use the effective fighting method with the fewest casualties! The warriors who fought for my Tang Dynasty have their own families. If people die, try not to let them die!"

Li You's words were sonorous and powerful, and Li Ji and Su Dingfang also respected him when they heard the words.

On the battlefield, there are many generals who regard human life as a must, or do anything to achieve the goal of 0.8. Therefore, in their eyes, soldiers are just tools or a series of numbers, which can be used regardless of casualties, just to achieve their own goals. Target.

Few people can think that the reason why they can become famous generals and have these glorious records is because the soldiers under their command fought desperately to build their glory!

But His Royal Highness the King of Chu is different. Li Ji and Su Ding can only feel that His Royal Highness the King of Chu really treats the soldiers who will fight for the Tang Dynasty as living people. Very valuable quality.

After all, it is easy to cultivate a character that kills without blinking an eye, but it is difficult to maintain one's heart in the midst of the killing!

Chapter 617 Too High, Too Far

In fact, Li You is not as complicated as Li Ji and Su Dingfang thought. The source of his idea is very simple-because Li You is from modern times, he has a lot of respect for the soldiers who protect the family and defend the country.

These people are respectable and valuable, and each of them has relatives and friends. They are not props that can be sacrificed at will. Li You feels that since he is in charge of the army, he must be worthy of their trust!

……

"Tang Jun has withdrawn temporarily..."

After getting the news, Zhang Tian and Kan Wei's expressions were very complicated.

"You can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being... But this short confrontation, despite all the preparations, actually fell into a disadvantage! Damn!"

Kan Wei slapped the table, only to feel that this was a great shame.

Zhang Tian was in a daze. After a while, he said: "Do you think that this time the command is not like the style of Li Ji or Su Dingfang in the past 13? Could it be..."

Zhang Tian couldn't help but recall the scene of being chased and killed in Liugu. It seemed that the people who led the troops and commanded the orders were all the King of Chu, Li You!

There were obviously two generals present, but he handed over the command to a prince who had never heard of it on the battlefield. Zhang Tian still didn't know what the operation was, but now he finally understood.

"You mean..." Kan Wei also said in surprise, "Actually, that Chu King Li You is commanding the army to fight against us, and he has the upper hand?"

"Yeah, although I don't want to admit it, but that should be the truth."

Zhang Tian nodded bitterly. This battle was completely different from Tiandicheng. There was no stealing, cheating or surprise. Then King Li You of Chu was in a real frontal strategic battle, and he was better than them all!

Kan Wei gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "I heard that he is only fourteen or fifteen years old? Why is he so powerful at this age?!"

"Maybe this is the real genius." Zhang Tian smiled helplessly.

"What's the use of sighing about this now? It's business to defend Gaochang City!"

Kan Wei took a deep breath and decided not to think about such a blow to people.

Zhang Tian also cheered up a little, nodded and said, "You are right, the current situation is that most of Gaochang City's defenses have been broken by Chu King Li You, so this city wall is the last line of defense."

"How to protect the city wall is the most important thing we should consider. In this case, we must strictly guard against the collision of Tang Jun's siege vehicles!"

After Zhang Tian finished speaking, Kan Wei frowned and fell into deep thought.

"You said... Is it possible for him to bypass the city wall and attack the people in the city first?"

If you kill all the defenders first, then slowly open the city gate for the rest of the time, which is also a method.

Zhang Tian and Kan Wei are both very powerful generals, so he quickly thought of this possibility. Although it sounds like a fantasy at first, Zhang Tian immediately understood the meaning of Kan Wei.

"You mean Thunderbolt?"

Kan nodded solemnly and said, "That's right."

The so-called thunderbolt car means a catapult. Various types of thunderbolt carts of different specifications require different numbers of people to pull, and the shooting distance ranges from dozens to hundreds of steps. It is a siege weapon!

"Indeed, there's a good chance they're carrying Thunderbolts!"

Zhang Tian's expression became serious, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head again.

"However, I think the possibility is very small. In this case, when they use Thunderbolt cars, they can only smash randomly and aimlessly, just like a blind person, it is easy to smash the construction and civilians inside Gaochang City to death. !"

In ancient times, reputation was very important. For example, there were very few generals who slaughtered the city after a victory. Most people were unwilling to involve civilians. Otherwise, they would have a bad reputation in the future and would be stabbed in the spine.
