According to Li Rushan's guess, the guards of the Seventeen Cities took action at least ten days ago, but for some unknown reason, he, the emperor, did not receive any information.
Now Tang Jingcheng has been besieged by the enemy's army.
Although 80,000 people cannot attack, it is enough to make it difficult for them to get out.
Now Li Rushan can only pin his hopes on the border army.
If the border army can quickly withdraw part of it, then the siege of Tang Jingcheng will be lifted immediately.
What Tang Jingcheng has to do now is to defend with all its strength.
Judging from Tang Jingcheng's city defense, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to break through it in a short period of time.
Moreover, there are still many city guards on the side of the imperial court.
After learning that Tang Jingcheng was besieged, these people are already preparing to assemble for a battle to protect the emperor.
Ye Li received the news a few days later and learned that Tang Jingcheng was besieged.
Ye Li summoned all his subordinates.
"What do you think about this?"
After informing everyone about the news, Ye Li asked.
All his men frowned at this moment.
Ding Si said: "Sir, we must send troops to rescue.
We have received news that Xuancheng of the Xuanwu Army rebelled and took away his uncle's military power.
He led the troops to sweep away those The defenders of each city gathered together and wanted to help.
Lord Bian Yingxiong of the town army went into hiding with the remaining members of his tribe.
He had sent someone to send a secret message before.
They were waiting for the opportunity to attack in Wushou Mountain.
The current situation is that reinforcements from outside have been unable to reach Tangjing City.
Tangjing City is besieged by 80,000 troops and cannot even open the city gate.
However, the 80,000-strong army could not do anything to take down Tang Jing City for a while.
With their strength, they should not be able to destroy Tang Jing City's defense.
Unless the opponent still has hidden manpower that has not been used, only more than 100,000 troops besieging Tang Jing City can pose a threat to Tang Jing City's city defense. " At the end of Ding Si's words, the worry on his face became slightly lighter.
Ye Li nodded and said: "In other words, it will be very difficult to break through Tang Jingcheng.
Then we will have time to discuss it in the long run."
Huo Xing frowned and said: "No, in fact, in addition to besieging the city with an army of more than 100,000, the opponent has two other ways to breach the city gate.
The first is to attack with Talisman Saint-level masters.
The Shadow Talisman Saint we saw before should be one of the methods prepared by the opponent.
If Ding Si had warned His Majesty about this, Your Majesty would have been wary of it.
Judging from the strength of Tiankui Talisman Saint, the possibility of Shadow Talisman Saint trying to sneak attack and break through the city gate's defense was too small.
As for the second method, that is to use the siege artifact dragon chariot.
With the power of the dragon chariot, it will definitely be able to smash the city gate.
When the ancestor emperor built the dragon chariot, it was to deal with the enemy.
Later, after the enemy was eliminated, the dragon chariot became a threat to the Tang capital.
Because as long as they have dragon chariots, even a force of 40,000 people can still break through Tang Jingcheng.
In order to prepare for this, the ancestor emperor transported eight dragon chariots to Jinzhu City in the south and Huiyuan City in the west for secret placement.
These dragon chariots are the strongest siege force in our Tang Kingdom.
They were made at a huge cost.
They were originally intended to be used against the enemy.
However, if the enemy also knew about the dragon chariots, they would definitely be able to find the dragon chariots and borrow them.
Their power forced the gates of Tang Jing City open. " After hearing Huo Xing's words, everyone around them had surprised expressions on their faces.
Ye Li had never heard of the existence of dragon chariots, while others had heard about it to some extent.
It's just that the dragon carriage is so old that no one would even think of going here for a while.

"Yes, there is still a dragon chariot.
If the opponent transports the dragon chariot to Tang Jing City, the gate of Tang Jing City will not be able to withstand the dragon chariot's attack.
Without the strong defensive capabilities of the city, the strength of the Imperial Guard alone should not be able to withstand the impact of an 80,000-strong army.
In particular, there is a large number of Zhenzhong troops.
This army is not only extremely powerful in attack, but also very clear about the deployment of Tang Jing City.
Once it rushes into the city, the Imperial Guards will be unable to resist it. " Ding Si understood, with an extremely worried look on his face, and looked at Ye Li.
Ye Li thought for a while with a sullen face and said: "So it is not too urgent to besiege the city by an army of 80,000.
The really urgent thing is not to let the other side transport the dragon chariot to Tang Jingcheng."
Huo Xing nodded and said, "Yes, the dragon chariot cannot go outside Tangjing City.
Once it reaches outside Tangjing City, Tangjing City will be in danger."
Ye Li said: "We still don't know whether the other party has gone to get the dragon cart, and we can't give random orders now.
We must obtain relevant intelligence.
My plan is to mobilize the three thousand cavalry regiment first, and we will go near Tang Jingcheng to find the remnants of Senior Bian's army.
At the same time, Ding Si, you sent people out to investigate the situation of the dragon chariot.
Once we find that the other party has indeed dispatched a dragon chariot, we will find a way to intercept them. " After hearing Ye Li's order, everyone knew that this was the most appropriate arrangement.
Dangsi nodded, and Ding Si quickly went down to deal with related matters.
Ye Li left Yin Lie behind and said, "Yin Lie, this is a real large-scale battle that the cavalry regiment will experience.
How strong they are in actual combat will be revealed immediately after the next collision with the regular army. " Yin Lie said: "Sir, please rest assured, our cavalry regiment has been ready to fight for a long time.
As long as you give the order, we will go through fire and water."
Ye Li nodded when he heard the words and said: "Go down and prepare, we will be ready to set off to Tang Jingcheng immediately.
Our cavalry regiment has mobility capabilities that no other cavalry regiment has.
I hope you can make good use of this and bring victory to this battle."
When Yin Lie heard what Ye Li said, he bowed deeply and said, "Don't worry, sir, we won't let you down."
After handing over the troops, Ye Li called Ding Si over again.
Ding Si had already arranged his manpower and rushed to Jinzhu City and Huiyuan City separately, exploring the news about the dragon chariot along the way.
After all, the dragon chariot is a huge siege equipment.
Because it cannot be disassembled and assembled, it is very troublesome to transport.
It can only be pulled by horses and then moved forward via the official road to the mainland.
There is only one official road from Jinzhu City and Huiyuan City to Tang Jingcheng.
Once the people sent by Ding Si can see the dragon chariot on these two official roads, they can immediately report the purpose of Ye Li sending them out.
It's not a battle, but to determine the situation of the dragon chariot.
Without wasting any time, after Ye Li explained everything, he left Dongfang County with the cavalry regiment and began to rush over the mountains towards Tang Jingcheng
