When Jing and Guo Xiaoke were discussing, Li Boyi was panicked like a lost dog and fled straight to the pass.
Fortunately, Li Jing was anxious to rectify the military pass, plan to transport troops, and in addition to the transportation of military materials, he did not chase and attack as hard as he did against Li Fengci.
Li Boyi had nothing to do all the way, and when it was late at night, he finally arrived at the pass.
The pass is located in the west of Wuguan, between the mountains and mountains, and is the second gateway to enter the pass from Xiangyang and other places.
Guan, like Wuguan, is also a treacherous terrain, but it is magnificent, far better than Wuguan.
Before the pass, the terrain was open, and it was much wider than the east of Wuguan.
After Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong, he expanded the pass, strengthened the city defense, strengthened the city wall, and even increased the stone barrier in the city gate and the corner of the city where it was vulnerable to attack, so as to strengthen the solidity of the rammed earth city.
Guan can be called a city with thick walls, and with 30,000 elite soldiers guarding it, Li Yuan can be said to be extremely relieved about this.
Li Boyi spent a long time trying his strength, which made the city soldiers temporarily believe that he was the king of Longxi, but he did not let his army enter the city, first hung a bamboo basket and hung Li Boyi on the head of the city.
Li Boyi was shocked and angry, and he could only comfort himself, after all, King Shannan and King Zheng were still old gingers, and they were older than Li Fengci.
When the identity was verified, the city soldiers saw that there were no enemy soldiers in the distance, so they opened the city gate and let the Tang army enter the city.
Li Boyi went straight to see Li Shuliang and Li Deliang, only to see that the palace was bright, and he was stunned, and when he entered the palace, Li Boyi rubbed his eyes, almost thinking that he was dreaming.
Because there is a person sitting under Li Shuliang, it is Li Fengci "Fengci, you are still alive," Li Boyi said with surprise and joy.
Li Fengci's face was strange, "Of course I'm still alive, Boyi, do you really want me to die?"
Li Boyi was displeased, "What are you talking about, you are guarding the city, why did you suddenly disappear?"
Li Shuliang and Li Deliang are both heavy-faced, they are Li Boyi's uncles, they are biological brothers, although they and Li Boyi are both kings, but because of the concept of the family, Li Boyi still has to see it with the etiquette of the younger generation.
Li Shuliang said in a deep voice: "Boyi."
Listen to Bongci.
Because you opened the city and delayed the timing.
This allowed the Western Liang army to take advantage of the weakness to enter" Li Boyi's face was pale.
"That's that" "You just have to say no" Li Boyi glanced at Li Fengci.
Breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes." ” Li Deliang asked, "Listen to Fengci."
You're careless.
Let the Western Liang army burn the trebuchet in the ground. so much so that it is impossible to resist the onslaught of the opponent" Li Boyi clenched his fists.
"Yes but" "Okay, we know" Li Shuliang said, "You go back and rest." ” "But" Li Boyi's heart was depressed and incomparable, and he wanted to defend himself.
Li Shuliang waved his hand and said: "Boyi, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, I just need to remind you to remember these two points, this is a lesson, we can't fail, we don't know the lesson yet."
The rest, needless to say. ” Li Boyi had no way to justify, knowing that Li Fengci, in order to shirk his responsibility, disregarded his brotherly affection and detained the black pot of the loss of martial arts on his head, and secretly hated in his heart, and retreated angrily.
Li Fengci waited for Li Boyi to disappear, and then said: "Thank you two uncles for not blaming Boyi for looking at my face." ” Li Shuliang shook his head and said: "Boyi is still young, Fengci, this defeat, your fault is smaller."
If he is like you, how can Wuguan break it?"
Li Fengci nodded again and again, "But the opponent is really fierce and very cunning."
The two uncles need to be more guarded. ” Li Shuliang said proudly: "We are different from you, and Guan is not a martial pass."
Li Fengci didn't dare to say more, so he could only retreat.
Li Deliang was somewhat calmer, "Their rockets with pungent smoke attack are unique, we must hurry up and let the military doctor think of some countermeasures, but don't capsize in the gutter." ” Li Shuliang nodded and said: "I have asked the military doctor to start preparations, all the people in the city must not go out without authorization in the near future, and the business must be suspended As for the Wangjia rice shop, for fear of causing uneasiness among the people, they will also be closely monitored for the time being, and will not be arrested."
Now we can't make the mistake of Fengci again, we must take full precautions, and we don't believe that they have three heads and six arms, and they can go down again.
"It turned out that until now, they didn't know who the opponent was leading the army, and they only learned from Li Fengci's mouth that the Western Liang army was surging and outnumbered.
Li Deliang asked, "But after all, let him attack, and we are always passive."
If you send troops to meet them, and look at their reality and reality, I don't know how."
Li Shuliang said after a while: "We only want to hold the city and choke the road to Guanzhong."
As long as the Western Liang army can't get through, it is considered a victory, Fengci and Boyi are not mediocre people, they can't resist, if in my opinion, it is better to win in stability. ” Li Deliang agreed: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true. ” The two seem arrogant, after all, they are still afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, although they are crazy in front of their nephews, they are secretly cautious.
Then he discussed the equipment for defending the city, trebuchets, boiling oil, rockets, feather arrows and the like should be fully prepared, and at the same time, he sent soldiers to the Languan and Xijing to report the police, and this preparation should be considered foolproof.
Li Shuliang said proudly: "Brother, we are preparing this time, if the Western Liang Army comes, it should be returned."
\\Even if Xijing doesn't come to help, it will last at least a year. ” Li Deliang thought about it for a long time, and then felt that he was no longer worried, and nodded again and again.
The two laughed and went back to rest, but when it was early in the morning, the Xiliang army did not come as scheduled, and the two brothers felt that Li Fengci was somewhat exaggerated.
For Li Fengci's exaggeration, the two brothers felt that it was excusable, after all, if they want to shirk responsibility, they must always describe the opponent as fierce.
Your opponent will be as stupid as a pig, and if you are defeated by him, you will not even be as good as a pig At noon, a spy finally told him that the Xiliang army had left the pass less than thirty miles The Tang army became nervous, and the city gate was closed, waiting for the arrival of the Western Liang army.

Thirty miles said that it was not far away, but it was not close, and after another hour of effort, only the sound of horses' hooves in the east was heard, and Tang Jun thought, finally came.
The first to come was only a few hundred cavalry.
The cavalry was well-armoured, and when hundreds of people marched, they were lazy and lazy.
When he was a stone's throw away from the city gate, he had stopped moving, pointing at Guan Zhi, and his expression was somewhat arrogant.
When Tang Jun saw it, he was angry in his heart.
Li Fengci and Li Boyi were already like passers-by, silent and speechless.
Li Shuliang scolded: "The Western Liang Army is too arrogant, who will send troops to attack it for me" When the king of Shannan spoke, three or four generals immediately stepped forward to ask for their lives, and everyone wanted to fight for merit when they saw the opponent's manpower.
Li Deliang said: "Big brother, I'm afraid it's a suspicious tactic." ” Li Shuliang spat out, "You are so careful."
"Even so, in the end he did not give the order to open the city gate and attack.
Li Shuliang has a short temper, but Li Deliang is extremely cautious, but these are just the surface.
These two people are actually old treacherous and cunning people, Li Shuliang pretends to be black-faced, Li Deliang pretends to be white-faced, and the two sing and harmonize, which is also a method of commanding soldiers and generals.
When the generals saw that the king of Shannan no longer raised the matter of soldiers, none of them were bored.
The soldiers in front of the city gate pointed and pointed , Seeing that Tang Bing was not provoked, he finally retreated.
For a general, but Zhang Liang, Ben, coiled around the head of the Tang Army City and couldn't see the mountain, Li Jing was sitting on the ground, looking at a model of the city on the ground, pondering silently.
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, Li Jing looked up and saw Zhang Liang, who understood everything, and said in a deep voice: "It is said that this pair of Li Laocheng is serious, and now it seems that it is really true." ” Zhang Liang asked, "The enemy army does not send troops, I don't know what to do next."
Li Jing stood up and said, "Send troops." ” Li Jing ordered, and the Xiliang army, which had been waiting for a long time, did not hesitate to line up.
Although the mountain road is uneven, the Western Liang army moves forward in an orderly manner.
Guan's Tang army only heard the rumbling of footsteps, and then saw smoke and dust rising and hovering in the sky, all of them as if they were facing a great enemy.
When the Western Liang army arrived in front of the city, it was not eager, and the Tang general saw a column and a group of Western Liang troops turning out from the foot of the mountain, forming a phalanx and moving forward, like a long snake spreading in the mountains, the army was endless, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
Li Fengci flattered: "King Zheng is really clever and knows that they will have ambush soldiers. ” Li Deliang did not have the slightest sense of self-satisfaction, he only thought in his heart, he said that the Western Liang army was invincible in the world when he fought in the south and in the north.
Seeing the opponent marching, Li Deliang was already a little worried, and frowned: "Who is leading the army?"
Everyone looked at Li Fengci, Li Fengci was full of shame, and said: "I don't hear that there are any famous generals in the Jingxiang area."
Li Deliang knew that he didn't know, and he was unhappy, secretly thinking that Li Fengci would bring more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, let people lose their armor and lose their armor, and only a thousand people would come back, but even the opponent didn't know which one, but it was really a little unreasonable.
The distance of the Western Liang army from the pass five hundred paces has stopped, first the shield hand stepped forward, resisted the square, the archers spread to the two wings, the spearmen, sword and axe hands are faintly visible, and they have been arranged into a large array of iron buckets.
Li Shuliang said: "No matter who leads the army, they are just ordinary people.
Right now, they are facing a city, and if we don't send troops to this kind of formation, they are not in vain."
Li Deliang's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he didn't say a word.
The flag fluttered, and one general was holding a mixed iron gun, and more than a dozen generals rode forward, followed by eight flag bearers.
The flag was red and black, and when it was about an arrow away, everyone could see that there was a big plum character on it Li Deliang's face changed slightly: "Could it be Li Jing?"
Everyone was shocked and asked, "Isn't Li Jing still fighting with Shen Faxing now?"
Li Shuliang was condescending, he had seen the opponent's face clearly, and spat heavily: "Even Li Jing, I know him when he turns to ashes."
Everyone is awe-inspiring in their hearts, you must know that although Li Jing is not as famous as Xiao Buyi, everyone knows that half of Xiao Buyi's current world is won by Li Jing for him.
This man is extremely low-key, but since he led the army, he has not suffered a single defeat.
When the famous general Han Baohu of the Great Sui Dynasty said when he was young in Li Jing, he could talk about the art of Sun and Wu, but the people of Wei Si carried Han Baohu and made great contributions to the Great Sui, and the people he admired finally shined today Li Jing immediately crossed his gun, looked at the city from afar, and said: "At the head of the city, there are two benevolent brothers, Shuliang and Deliang."
Li Shuliang shouted: "Li Jing, you are arrogant and act against the sky, now at the pass, turn around quickly, or you can save your life, if not, you are afraid of disgrace to your ancestors." ” Li Jing smiled slightly, "It's not Li Jing who shames the ancestors, I'm afraid it's the two brothers."
If you want the king of Western Liang to unify the world, the trend of the times, and resist without measuring your own strength, you are acting against the sky.
My two brothers and I also had an old friendship when we were in Xijing, and we persuaded each other with good words, if we can return to the Eastern Capital, I think I can also be crowned king and duke, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds" Li Shuliang scolded: "Li Jing, you villain has a good will, today you dare to persuade me to submit to you, don't fall into my hands, otherwise you will be cut into ten or eight sections."
"I was depressed in my heart, because when I was in Xijingdi, they were all famous, Li Jing was just a down-and-out boy, and now he was unbearable to ride on his head, who couldn't bear to reach out and take the bow, and shoot an arrow.
After all, Li Shuliang is both civil and military, and his arm strength is extremely strong, although the place where Li Jing left is already a stone's throw away, but this is for ordinary archers, Li Shuliang's arrow is very powerful, and it actually shot in front of Li Jingdi.
Li Jing didn't dodge either, and with a swing of his gun, he had shot down the long arrow.
The Tang army at the head of the city saw that Li Shuliang's arrow was extremely sharp, and they all unanimously applauded, but before the good words were finished, the feather arrow had landed, and this sound was like cheering for Li Jing.
Li Shuliang was even more angry, Li Jing said coldly: "I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, the two of you don't know what to do, don't blame me for being ruthless and unrighteous, now the Xiliang army of 200,000 is coming to tackle the key problems, and the day the city is broken, don't say that I don't talk about it." ” "Li Jing, you bluff me" Li Shuliang laughed angrily, "You really think that you are omnipotent, and the 200,000 army can be easily mobilized" Li Jing smiled slightly, "Whether I bluffed you or not, I will know soon." ” He turned his horse around, unhurried.
The army was separated and Li Jing was embraced.
Although Li Shuliang was angry, he had nothing to do, knowing that Li Jing was coming, he didn't dare to send troops easily.
It turned out that when they were in Xijing, the three of them were all surnamed Li, and they also climbed some distant relatives, and they also played together when they were young, but no matter what they compared, the Li Shuliang brothers did not defeat Li Jing when they were superior, and they knew that people were superior, and if their brothers wanted to defeat Li Jing with soldiers, it was like ascending to the sky.

Li Jing returned to the military formation, looked at the pass from afar, turned back to Guo Xiaoke, and said: "I have looked at the defense of the lower city, and it is basically in line with what we have mastered, so we can give it a try, but today I have to proofread the lower position first." ” Guo Xiaoke immediately ordered, the shield hand flashed slightly, and an ox cart came out of the military formation.
I don't know what the ox cart was pulling, covered with black cloth, and it rose high.
When the Tang army saw it at the top of the city, they couldn't cry or laugh, and Li Shuliang laughed and said: "It turns out that the famous and victorious general is crazy, and he actually relies on an ox cart to attack the city. ” Tang Jiang smiled, Li Deliangyi was worried, and said in his heart that Li Jing had never done useless things, and he didn't know what was strange on this ox cart.
He was only afraid of demoralizing him, and he only hid his worries in the bottom of his heart.
The soldiers of Xiliang uncovered the black cloth on the bullock cart, revealing something similar to a giant crossbow on the ground of the cart.
The bottom of that thing is extremely complicated, but the top is no different from a crossbow, but the scale and grandeur have never been seen before by Tang Bing.
Tang Jun had already smiled, and Li Deliang's face was already frightened, and he lost his voice: "Ballista" Li Fengci was puzzled, "King Zheng, what is this ballista" Li Deliang did not wait for an answer, Li Fengci soon knew what the ballista was, and the Western Liang army slanted the car, quickly adjusted its position, and aimed at the pass.
Although the thing was still 500 paces away from the crowd, even the catapult could not throw stones from that distance, and the huge arrows on the cart could be seen, and the people were uneasy.
There was only one arrow on the ballista, and the shaft was extremely long, as thick as the spokes of a car, and the arrow was extremely frightening, because it was like a great axe, glowing with cold light.
Li Deliang was shocked, he was well-informed, and knew that during the Han and Wei dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the crossbow had always been used, but it was restricted by the process.
Not widespread.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a kind of ballista, also known as a ballista, which was equipped with six oxen to pull the string, which showed the strong range.
However, although the ballista is powerful, it can be used cumbersomely, and it has not been widely used, and even gradually abandoned later, but Li Jing actually improved the ballista, and now it is used to attack the city Li Jing's face was like iron, and when the soldiers corrected it, he nodded, and Guo Xiaoke said sharply: "Shoot" The shout was earth-shattering, but what was even more shocking was the sound of the iron arrow breaking through the air There was a whooshing sound, sharp and piercing, and although the Tang army was five hundred steps away, the sound still tugged at their heartstrings like a saw.
Then there was an earth-shattering roar, and the iron arrow had already shot at the wall on the left side of the city gate.
Although the iron arrow hit the city wall, the Tang soldiers standing at the head of the city still felt the ground shake and the city wall trembled.
The power of a crossbow is as powerful as this The iron bolt blasted a hole in the wall, rather than shooting firmly into the wall.
But the destructive power caused was far beyond Tang Jun's imagination.
The soldiers at the head of the city turned terrified with earth, and if such a power were shot on a person, a dozen or so soldiers would be blown into pulp Li Deliang's heart trembled wildly, and he secretly thought that the power of the ballista was not as good as it was, or even slightly inferior.
Li Jing's ballista this time is much lighter and more powerful than before, so does he want to use the ballista to attack the city Li Shuliang saw that everyone's faces were pale, and laughed: "This thing is only a little more powerful than a crossbow arrow, and the accuracy is extremely poor, just with this crossbow car, do you still want to shoot down the city wall?"
Everyone was silent, just thinking about a ballista, of course, it was not okay, but Li Jing was confident and hesitant, could he only bring a ballista Seeing that the crossbow cart was so powerful, the Xiliang army was very excited, but Li Jing frowned, whispered a few words to Guo Xiaoke, pointed and pointed, and compared, Guo Xiaoke nodded again and again, and went to order the crossbow rider.
This time, the ballista advanced fifty paces But Rao is like this, and the guards can only stare dryly, unless they go out of the city to fight, they are powerless against the actions of the Western Liang army.
You must know that the ballista is still four hundred and fifty steps away from the city gate, and ordinary bows and arrows only shoot about 100 steps, even if the catapult in the city can only throw a distance of about two or three hundred steps.
The crossbow rider made another correction, and after Guo Xiaoke shouted, the iron arrow shot out, but this time it hit the city wall on the right side of the city gate, but the position was slightly higher, almost hitting the battlements.
The dust was flying, and a big hole appeared in the middle of the iron arrow, and some of the Tang troops were already shaking.
This kind of power is by no means something that people can compete with Li Jing smiled coldly, dismounted and squatted down, picked up a branch casually, and drew a pattern on the ground.
Guo Xiaoke was confused, if Xiao Buyi saw it, most of them would call out to sell cakes, it turned out that the figure drawn by Li Jing was the geometry he learned in that era.
However, the ancients called Zhou Shujing, Li Jing is erudite and talented, and he can speak Persian, and he is a pair of skillful hands, integrating Chinese and foreign languages, but he is the head of the land, but I am afraid that even if Xiao Buyi comes here, he is ashamed of himself.
After the calculation was completed, Li Jing personally came to the ballista, adjusted the position, and explained to Guo Xiaoke for a while, he didn't say anything, only said practical application, Guo Xiaoke nodded and remembered, the ballista advanced fifty steps further, and then it was a shocking crossbow out.
Only a loud bang was heard, the distant mountains trembled, and the crossbow knot struck firmly above the city gate and under the battlements.
Li Shuliang's face was dark, and Li Deliang was shocked and wanted to vomit blood.
Li Jing saw it, nodded and smiled at Guo Xiaoke, signaled his approval, and ordered: "Temporarily retreat and camp." ” The Western Liang army retreated for the time being, and the Tang army looked at each other, both of whom saw each other's uneasiness.
These three crossbows came down, although they did not cause substantial damage to Guan, but the power was huge, which can be said to be sensational.
Guan was originally indestructible in the eyes of the Tang army, but after these three crossbows, the bluestones fell one after another, and the rammed earth city wall under the bluestone was exposed.
Guan is the fortress in Guanzhong, it has been destroyed several times in the past dynasties, and now it is a rammed earth wall, bluestone auxiliary method, ordinary bow and crossbow stone-throwing equipment does not damage much to the city, but this kind of crossbow can be said to be specially designed to deal with this kind of rammed earth city wall, Li Jing came prepared this time, how they resisted Li Shuliang was arrogant on the surface, but he also saw the seriousness of the situation, and when he saw that the Western Liang army was withdrawing slightly, he immediately turned around with everyone to discuss countermeasures.
But they lack sharp weapons like the Western Liang Army, and they are completely at the point where they can only be beaten and unable to fight back, and the depressed mood of these people can be imagined.
Although there were thousands of schemes, none of them worked.
When the night covered the sky and the stars were faint, a soldier hurriedly arrived, "The big thing is not good, the Western Liang army is all over the mountains, and there are hundreds of thousands of people." ” Li Shuliang took the case and said angrily: "Nonsense, Li Jing is a great talent, how can he bring hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to the pass, these people are all immortals, don't you need grain and grass" hurriedly took everyone to the city, raised his eyes and looked over, only to see the distant mountains and hills, all flashing firelight, at first glance, almost all of them were enemies in front of the pass, Li Shuliang knew that this was mostly the opponent's plan, but the Tang army saw it, and the people were panicked.
At this time, the mountains on both sides suddenly made a golden drum again, only to hear the Western Liang army shouting and killing the sound of the sky, everyone could not see clearly, so they could only wait for the battle and hold the city.
Suddenly, there seemed to be silence between heaven and earth for a moment, and then the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the sky was heard.
The sound was like a thunderbolt, like thunder, and it came from the opposite side of the gate, and the hearts of the people were about to jump out of their mouths.
Then the Tang army saw countless black shadows crashing into the city in the dark night, the sound of banging was endless, the distant mountains roared, the city shook, and the Tang army was violently impacted on the city tower, and it was unstable to stand.
Li Deliang was shocked and said: "How many ballistas did Li Jing prepare" He still has a fluke mentality, and only hopes that Li Jing is just bluffing during the day, and that kind of ballista is hard to find, but now it seems that there are only more ballistas than imagined.
Guan was completely in a state of being beaten, and after the iron arrow, countless boulders smashed over, and the Tang army was already in a state of despair, and also threw stones to fight back, but in the dark, he didn't know where the opponent was, and he didn't hit the opponent.
After a long time of throwing stones, there was a burst of fierce crossbow arrows, Li Deliang's face was pale, covered in cold sweat, I don't know when the nightmare will end, I don't know how long to last, the Western Liang army kept using crossbow carts, catapults to bombard the main gate, Li Deliang hoarsely ordered the Tang army to fight back, suddenly his feet trembled, screamed, fell down, the arc-shaped battlements on the city gate were broken alive by the ballista and catapults, and collapsed downward.
The spirit of the Western Liang Army was greatly lifted, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and it had used the momentum of sweeping the world to kill Guan:
