Turbulent Times Chapter 1521: The secret weapon in Chang’an City
Just as Li Yuan closed his eyes, two beautiful girls of fifteen or sixteen years of age came in from outside the tent. Li Yuan opened his eyes slightly, took a look, and thought that this old boy Pei Ji would still be a man.
Li Yuan must not let the people below think that he is licentious, so although he would like to have a beautiful woman sleeping in the bed during the war, he must not bring it up by himself.
The two girls obediently took off their clothes and went to bed, and got into Li Yuan's bed.
Li Yuan has been working hard all day, but this kind of wonderful thing requires two girls to take the initiative to do it. He just needs to lie down and enjoy it, moving his arms and mouth occasionally.
……
……
It was dawn, and with the sound of the wake-up horn, the camp of the Li Family Army outside Chang'an City woke up.
Even if Li Yuan just lay down and enjoyed last night, this kind of thing was very tiring, not to mention that he scored twice, so he slept very deeply, and he was not awakened by the sound of the horn when he got up.
It wasn't until there were chaotic footsteps outside his handsome tent, mixed with people shouting and neighing, that Li Yuan, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up.
Thinking of the full-scale attack on Chang'an City today, Li Yuan sat up in shock.
The two concubines were exhausted last night, so they hurriedly got up at this time, without bothering to dress themselves, they began to help Li Yuan buckle the whole crown naked.
Li Yuan has long been used to this kind of service. He was born in a wealthy family, and he has enjoyed this kind of service since he was a child. He remembers the first time he had **** with a girl who was four years older than himself when he was thirteen years old. He will never forget the first comfortable feeling.
Last night's fatigue caused Li Yuan to sit up violently and get out of bed. In order not to make himself look ugly when he got out of the barracks, he lowered his head not to look at the beautiful and attractive bodies of the two girls. Looking down and seeing those twenty pink toes as bright red as beans, he couldn't help feeling hot again in his heart.
These two girls are concubines snatched from Jinyang Palace the day before yesterday. One is fifteen years old and the other is seventeen years old.
The two girls were a bit clumsy, but they were beautiful and innocent and cute. When the people below picked them out and sent them to Li Yuan, Li Yuan's eyes lit up at that moment, but he spoke uprightly in front of everyone. He reprimanded the subordinates who sent the beauties over, and said that they would be rewarded to those who fought the most bravely.
Under Pei Ji's secret arrangements, the two girls finally came to serve Li Yuan.
Standing for the two girls to wear armor, Li Yuan thought to himself that he still needs someone like Pei Ji by his side. Otherwise, those rough turtles might really regard these two girls as theirs, and don't care about their origins, they are really bastards.
Li Yuan has reached the age where he needs to use the body of a young girl to set off his still strong, so he is usually very accommodating to his concubines.
Snatching money, land, and women, he thought of Pei Ji's words again. To a certain extent, what Pei Ji said was not too much. Men seem to be fighting for these things all their lives. They start fighting in their teens until they are sixty or seventy years old, and they will never know how to be satisfied.
"Mr. Tang please order your general!" Pei Ji's voice came from outside the tent, sounding very serious. This is the benefit of this person, who always knows how to maintain respect for the superior in front of everyone. When Li Yuan needs it, he will change his appearance at any time.
"Beat the drum!" Li Yuan lowered his voice, ordered loudly, and then walked out of the tent quickly.
He took a breath of the clear north wind, touched his face, and tried his best to shake off his tiredness.
Surrounded by the guards, he pressed the knife on his waist and strode towards the Chinese army who was silhouetted little by little in the morning light.
The weather in Guanzhong was a bit cold in early spring, but the enthusiasm of the soldiers was like fire. Especially some veterans who have followed the Li family for many years, their faces were full of excitement that they had never felt before. Everyone's armor and shields seemed to have been wiped overnight, reflecting cold flames.
For example, Lin Changqiang was held high in the hands of the sons and daughters, the three-foot-long lance was so cold that it was eye-catching.
When the soldiers saw Li Yuan walking by, they stood upright, their eyes full of respect and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
This is the prestige accumulated by Li Yuan in his daily life, every word and deed, and everyone's admiration for him.
For a long time, buying people's hearts and making subordinates worship this kind of thing is a skill that the children of aristocratic families must master. There is Li Shimin, they
The showmanship and intentional gestures make subordinates feel that they are from the heart, and their hearts are full of gratitude and respect.
In this regard, Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of the Duke of Tang, was inferior. As for Li Yuanji, he was extremely superficial when he did such things. Ordinary soldiers could feel his hypocrisy.
Other soldiers who joined the Li family halfway through were obviously not as high-quality as the veterans of the Li family. They ran around one by one, one by one, as if they were at a big fair. It's just that instead of egg baskets and steamed buns and cakes, what's in his hands is a spear and a big knife.
Many bandit and green forest bandit soldiers rushed past pushing carts as tall as two people, and the carport was covered with mud frozen hard by the cold wind. The frozen mud is as cold and hard as steel, even if a strong crossbow is shot at it, usually only a white mark can be shot. This is a very simple siege weapon, but it can effectively help soldiers resist bow and arrow strikes.
"My lord!" "My lord!" The soldiers who came from bandits didn't understand etiquette, so they expressed their respect with cheers like heat waves. Li Yuan clasped his fists in all directions, kindly and noble. He was intoxicated and enjoying this enthusiasm, and it felt wonderful.
With some spiritual satisfaction, Li Yuan summoned all the generals. He raised the command flag with his own hands, announcing the official launch of the final attack on Chang'an City.
Afterwards, amidst warm cheers, he stepped on his horse and led the Chinese army around to the east of Chang'an City. That was the attack point he chose for himself. Li Yuan firmly believed that his skills were not inferior to any young people, but he played too much last night. At this time, he felt a little weak when riding a horse. He couldn't help but regret his last night. You should be more restrained.
When the first ray of sunlight hit the city, the first crossbow roared down. After persisting for more than ten days in a row, the garrison of Chang'an City, who had already become frightened, immediately jumped up, stumbled and ran towards the blue-brown battlements.
The bluish-brown battlements soon turned red again, the old bloodstains were shot flying by the feather arrows, and the new bloodstains covered the cold city bricks again, solidified and frozen, and it was bright and picturesque in the sunlight.
"Blow the horn!" Li Yuan pulled out the horizontal knife and swung it forward vigorously. "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo" the shrill horn sounded through the field.
The morning mist hovering between the farmland and treetops in the distance was immediately dispersed by the sound of the horn, and large beams of sunlight shot down from the gaps in the clouds, flying around with feathered arrows.
"Woo-woo-woo-woo" Under the blue sky, the sound of horns echoed continuously, like the roar of a tiger and the chant of a dragon, like a gust of wind passing through a wall.
Li Yuan felt that the blood in his whole body was burning, he shouted angrily, and raised his knife forward. Several personal guards blocked his way very rudely, forming an insurmountable barrier with their bodies.
"There is no need for the lord to do it yourself!" Most of Pei Ji's attention was always on Li Yuan, and he arranged the two girls last night. Such a word was said in a timely and considerate manner.
And without Li Yuan's statement, he quickly waved the corner flag, ordered Li Anyuan to lead the army to fight instead of Li Yuan, and then surrounded Li Yuan with a group of bodyguards to watch the battle.
Li Yuan glanced at Pei Ji, nodded his head slightly, expressing his approval, thinking that Pei Shiju won the favor of Yang Guang, and he is still controlling the Sui court with Yu Shiji. ! It's just that I must not be like that Yang Jian, who was deceived by his favored ministers, ignorant of his feelings, and messed up the country.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of horns was replaced by shouts of killing. Teams of Li family soldiers pushed the ladders and siege vehicles, and quickly approached the city wall under the cover of archers. The frightened defenders gradually regained their stability and fought back.
Feathered arrows come and go like the wind, taking away countless young lives both above and below the city. The ladder that was walking halfway was instantly "covered" with three-foot-long arrow shafts, and its weight increased sharply. The wooden cart installed at the bottom of the ladder creaked and groaned, and could no longer bear the sudden change of center of gravity. Another strong crossbow was shot, hitting the crossbar at the top of the ladder. The behemoth swayed and fell down.
Before the defenders could put up the ladders that fell apart on the way, thousands of rockets rushed down the city with a long trail of smoke.
Dozens of fireballs rise up on a ladder at the same time, quickly gathering into a ball of flames. The soldiers around the ladder had to give up, turned and fled.
At the same moment, more ladders and siege engines were set on fire, and the smoke made people cry. Even with such visibility, the whistling sound of Feather Arrow was still noisy, people kept falling down, people kept screaming, in the smoke
Rolling and struggling in the fog.
Yin Shishi, the guard of Chang'an City, stood inside the tower, full of despair. He didn't expect Li Yuan to go crazy overnight and attack Chang'an City from all directions.
Referring to the art of war, this tactic of not leaving any way out for the defenders will greatly stimulate the fighting spirit of the defenders. But Yin Shishi knew that no amount of fighting spirit could save Chang'an from falling. The Great Sui Dynasty is over, Chang'an City is over, and my own glory and wealth will come to an end soon.
If Li Yuan encircles three people, he still has hope to escape to Luoyang under the protection of his personal guards. Borrow tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Wang Shichong, looking for opportunities to make a comeback.
But Li Yuan obviously didn't want to give him a chance to survive, not to give all the guards in the city a chance to survive.
Yin Shishi didn't think about surrendering, but it's a pity that before the Li family in Taiyuan raised the flag of rebellion, Yin Shishi, Gu Yi and others led troops to copy the Li family's clansmen in Chang'an City. More than 30 people were all beheaded for public display.
Immediately afterwards, under the instigation of their staff and subordinates, they dug up the graves of Li Yuan's father and grandfather, and smashed the corpses inside to ashes.
So, from the moment Li Yuan's banner appeared outside Chang'an City, Shishi Yin had no intention of surrendering.
He knew that Li Yuan would not let him go. If the former atrocities of destroying people and families could be explained by their own reasons, the latter acts of humiliating people's ancestors were endless hatred. That is the hatred that can never be resolved.
Thinking of this, Yin Shishi couldn't help but feel resentful towards the staff and subordinates who advised him back then.
To be honest, at this point, he has already vaguely guessed that most of the aides and subordinates who advised him were the dark sons of a certain force, in order to provoke him to form a deadly feud with Li Yuan, so that he could fight in the Guanzhong battle. Zhong and Li Yuan fought to the end.
He was even sure that those damned guys were members of the Far East Army, and only the intelligence forces under King Qin An had this ability.
But... what can he do if he knows the truth, the matter has already been done, so if he explains it to Li Yuan, Li Yuan's family will not kill him?
"But I can kill those guys first to vent my hatred." Yin Shishi gritted his teeth and said secretly, his eyes flickering with murderous intent.
If it hadn't been for those guys who traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to inform, the important officials who stayed behind in the capital would not believe that Li Yuan was indeed planning to rebel.
If it weren't for those guys who offered advice and said a lot of reasonable things, he and a few others would not have ordered to kill the members of the Li family in Chang'an, and they would have had room to meet each other.
If it weren't for those guys who said that as long as Li Yuan's ancestral grave was destroyed, the fortune of the Li family could be destroyed, he wouldn't do the boring thing of digging graves and stealing graves. In that case, after being loyal enough to Sui, the Yin family can still surrender in the name of "Li Qu", and the family's glory can still be preserved.
"Huang Shi'en, Mao Mingxiang, and Zhang Fagui, three dogs. Where are the mothers?" He rubbed his eyes that were red from the smoke, and yelled.
In the current situation, Yin Shishi already understood that he, Wei Wensheng and others had been fooled by the dark men of the Far East Army from the very beginning. The reason why the other party gave them the idea to let them dig the grave was not to destroy the Feng Shui of the Li family, but to stop all the defenders from surrendering and let them fight to the death with the Li family.
Since everyone is going to fight to the end, of course Yin Shishi must kill the three instigators before dying.
"Report to General, Mr. Huang, Captain Mao, and Lord Zhang participated in the defense of the city in the east, west and north of the city respectively." Some soldiers hurriedly reported. These three people were able to influence his Yin Shishi and Wei Wensheng's thoughts, of course because these three people are very good, but also because these three people are their confidantes or generals.
Just looking at it now, it is obvious that these three people have joined the Far East Army long ago, or that these three people themselves are members of the Far East Army.
"What, who told them to go." From the second day after Wei Wensheng's death, he has been ordering these three people to follow him, not to miss a step. 'If Lao Tzu is exterminated, I will kill you three **** first. ’ he thought bitterly, filled with resentment.
"Captain Mao found a way to get some secret weapons a few days ago, and they took people to distribute them in various cities!" A captain ran to Master Yin and reported loudly.
"Secret weapon, what secret weapon?" Yin Shishi was stunned for a moment, put his hand next to his ear, and asked loudly.
