Longxi City Head.
Li Shimin commanded the soldiers to repel another attack by the party members, and when he came down from the city, Li Shimin took off his helmet, picked up a scoop of water and drank a scoop of boiling water.
He couldn't even remember how many rounds it was.
The small walls of Longxi City are short, the soldiers are small, and the party members know that there is Li Shimin, the king of Tang Qin, in the city, and they are more and more unwilling to give up.
For several days, many attacks were made every day.
"Your Highness, we don't have many arrows."
The eldest grandson Wuji was dressed in iron clothes and carried a horizontal knife into the house, his face was very ugly.
"Without arrows, we use stones and wood.
When the stones and wood were used up, they broke the house and took the wood and stones.
Gather the pots from the people's houses, put them at the head of the city, boil the oil, boil the water, boil the dung, and in short, defend the city by all means.
Li Shimin leaned there, exhausted.
But at the beginning, he chose not to retreat and held on to Longxi City.
At this time, he had to stick to it no matter what.
"How many brothers were killed or wounded?"
"In the first round just now, more than 300 people have been killed in battle, and more than 100 have been seriously injured, not counting minor injuries."
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said, Tuyuhun had many soldiers, taking turns to fight, and did not give them a chance to breathe at all.
Tang Jun could only rely on the evening time to take a breather.
"Thanks to Zhang Wenyuan's medical regulations, the injuries of many wounded soldiers have been controlled."
"It's a pity that Zhang Wenyuan is not here" Li Shimin was calm on the surface, but he was also very anxious in his heart, he very much hoped for Zhang Chao's support at this time, and needed his 8,000 reinforcements.
Those grain and grass equipment that need him, and even need his five thousand people, with these, he can hold on longer.
"Our messenger should have arrived at Zhang Chao a long time ago," Li Shimin asked, as if talking to himself.
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't reply, he still can't accept it, Zhang Chao is actually sent to the East Palace by King Qin.
And he is not as full of expectations for Zhang Chao as King Qin, he admits that Zhang Chao went to the East Palace to do this thing, which is indeed very clever.
But Zhang Chao, how to say it, he thinks that Zhang Chao is capable, very quick-witted, and knows a lot of all kinds of things.
But no one is perfect, and Zhang Chao can't even lead soldiers to fight.
Even if Zhang Chao understands the art of war, he has never led troops at all.
Even if he was born a general, Zhang Chao did not have soldiers in his hands, just a group of farmers.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, can Zhang San lead a group of farmers to defeat the fierce party Xiang Qiang Until now, there has been no response, and the eldest grandson Wuji feels that either Zhang Chao has already encountered the Qiang people on the way and has been defeated, and the grain and grass have been taken away.
Either he found the Qiang in time, and then retreated into one of the cities on the road to wait for help.
Zhang Chao may be waiting for King Qin to rescue him at this time, how can he still come to rescue them.
Even if Zhang Chao really came with those 8,000 soldiers and 5,000 people, and came with grain, grass and equipment, but there were tens of thousands of Tuyuhun and Dang Xiangqiang outside, how could he get close "I believe that Zhang Wenyuan will be able to come and help me" Fort along the river.
Zhang Chao saw Li Shimin's personal guards who had finally found the fort along the river all the way from Longxi City in Weizhou.
Knowing that Tuyuhun had captured Weizhou City, and Li Shimin led the army to hold Longxi City without retreating, and had been besieged by Tuyuhun's army, Zhang Chao was also a little speechless.
"Fuqiang City has not been lost, and it is still holding on, but from Weizhou to Qinzhou, there are party items everywhere that are burning and plundering, and many villages and small cities have been lost."
"Your Highness urgently needs the reinforcements led by General Manager Zhang, and needs your food, grass and ordnance support."
"Send this brother down to dinner so that he can rest well."
Zhang Chao asked the guards to be brought down.
In the temporary governor's military chamber, several scholars and several generals were sitting there, and everyone was silent.
Li Shimin's military order has been received, let them go to Longxi to meet, bring grain, grass and ordnance reinforcements.
But this road is 200 miles, although Fuqiang City has not been lost, but the road is full of rebellious party Xiang Qiang, at least nearly 10,000.
Let Zhang Chao and them take these 8,000 recruits and 8,000 people to Longxi with grain, grass and ordnance, this is to send them to death.
Zhang Chao was thinking, maybe he had been staying in the riverside fort, sitting and watching Li Shimin run out of food, and the city was broken and died, then wouldn't he become a person who changed history, not to change a little bit, but to change the 300-year history of the Tang Dynasty.
But if he doesn't sit back and don't save himself, will Li Shimin really be defeated and die in the battle, in case Li Shimin holds on, or he runs back like the defeat of the shallow water plain.
Then you're really finished.
No matter what, Li Yuan would definitely not let him go.

Even if Li Jiancheng will be happy, the risk is too great.
And Zhang Chao has always chosen to help Li Shimin, not just to say that Li Shimin has become the emperor in history. is also because after Li Shimin became the emperor, it is true that the emperor is very good, he can accept advice, and he can also make great efforts to restore the peace of the Central Plains, and even conquer Guhun, break the Turks, etc., and the rule of Zhenguan is not empty talk.
Although the rule of Zhenguan is only to govern the world, not the prosperous era, Zhenguan has created a strong foundation for the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years, and the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty is also the foundation laid by the rule of Zhenguan.
Even if the Tang Dynasty has only been strong for a hundred years, it is inseparable from the rule of Zhenguan.
If someone else becomes the emperor, is Datang still the same Datang?
Can Li Jiancheng become the Khan of the Heavens, and whether the Tang Dynasty can still break the Turks Zhang Chao couldn't be sure, what he could be sure of was that after Li Shimin became the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he achieved the Tang Dynasty.
In the prosperous era of the Han and Tang dynasties, when later generations talked about the Han and Tang dynasties, they were extremely yearning, and it was the great martial arts of the two emperors of Han Wu and Tang Zong.
And Li Shimin is more lenient and benevolent, although there are times when he is brain-dead, but on the whole, Li Shimin is still good, even the remnants of the princelings can be accommodated, and there is no such hot hand as killing heroes, and the ministers admonish, even pointing at Li Shimin's nose and spitting, it will not be good.
Under such an emperor, life is good.
Zhang Chao doesn't know what Li Jiancheng will be like as an emperor, maybe Li Jiancheng will be a king like Han Wenjing Zhang Chao can't be sure, but Zhang Chao feels that Li Jiancheng's mind is definitely not as good as Li Shimin's, and his ability is also inferior.
One side is unknown, and the other side is known.
Moreover, Zhang Chao has already chosen a side and stood in the team, and if he changes it halfway, it is estimated that there will be no good end.
After thinking about it, I still have to take this order to save Li Shimin.
But there are still 3,000 party Xiang Qiang in front of him Let's deal with the present first What is most famous about Dang Xiangqiang is, of course, their riding and archery skills, although they are not as good as the Turks, but they are also very powerful.
Historically, in the early Tang Dynasty, the party members rebelled infrequently, and later they were whipped by Chai Shao, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, Li Shiji, and Niu Jinda, who took turns to whip, and finally cried and knelt to conquer.
Then Li Tang set up many confined prefectures, let these subjugated party and tribal leaders make their own assassination history, and even married princesses.
After that, these people were honest for more than 100 years, and in the late Tang Dynasty, these party members responded to King Qin's order to rebel against King Qin for Li Tang.
Received many rewards, including turf.
During the Five Dynasties, these party members became stronger and stronger, and at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, they finally established their own Dabai Shangguo.
Western Xia was established by the Tuoba Department, one of the eight major tribes of Dangxiang and Qiang.
However, at present, the party members are still relatively scattered, and the various tribes are independent and do not unite, and there are even frequent civil wars.
It is precisely because it is relatively loose that it will be conquered by the dragon Tuguhun across the river, and many tribes will come to join it and follow the Central Plains regime.
But these party members are not obedient to the people, just like now, most of the attached party members have rebelled and followed Tuyuhun again.
Standing at the head of the city, Zhang Chao felt that in fact, these party Qiang people had nothing to gain.
They weren't even an army, they were just tribal herdsmen, untrained, unorganized, and fighting a war was the same as a tribal hunt.
If there was really a well-trained and well-equipped Tang Mansion soldier, Zhang Chao felt that he could blow these tribal warriors out of the.
It's a pity that Zhang Chao doesn't have such soldiers.
He watched the men come up, and could only make the soldiers guarding the city raise their wooden shields high.
Most of these wooden shields were made on an improvised basis, and a small number were transported ordnance.
Anyway, Zhang Chao can't care about that, so he will take care of himself first.
At the head of the city, a handful of crossbows were ready.
Li Shimin Zhang Chao's 100 cavalry served as archers at this time, and the more than 100 officers sent down were also made by Zhang Chao as archers, and everyone else who had a little shooting talent was selected by Zhang Chao as crossbowmen.
Even a batch of Fuyuan crossbows, which required several people to open crossbows, were erected.
These were originally to be transported to Li Shimin's ordnance, but now Zhang Chao used them first.
Dang Xiangqiang also had bows and arrows, but their bows were far worse than those of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the Tang crossbows with a range of one or two hundred paces.
"Shoot when you get closer, don't waste arrows."
Zhang Chao also carried a crossbow in his hand, although it was said that the main general was standing on the head of the city, which was a little dangerous, but in order to boost the morale of these recruits, Zhang Chao had to grit his teeth and stand in front.
Fortunately, the city wall is quite high, and Dang Xiangqiang's horses can't fly up, and there is a ditch in front of him, and there is a female wall to guard, plus the shield and the leather armor and silk clothes on his body, Zhang Chao is not in danger unless he is unlucky.
A Dangxiang Qiang cavalry rode to the city and shouted at the city.
"You still have to persuade you to surrender, these donkeys are really shameless" Zhang Chao recruited Cui Yi, "Are you sure to kill this son of a bitch?"
The Flying Bear Battalion General took a look, "It is estimated that at a distance of 100 paces, this person is quite careful."
Bows and arrows don't usually shoot him, but we have crossbows.
Do you want to shoot him, he is the messenger. ” "The messenger is a fart, and the rebel is worthy of being called the messenger, kill him."
Zhang Chaodao.
He hoped to use this to provoke the Qiang people and let them attack in a wave, so that they could consume these Qiang soldiers well.

"Look at me."
Cui Yi replied with a smile.
Cui Yi is not a qualified commanding officer, but he is an excellent guard, with good martial arts and skilled bows and horses.
Not only can you shoot a strong bow, but you can also use a hard crossbow.
The Fuyuan crossbow that only two people could open, Cui Yi stepped on it alone.
Aim, shoot.
The Iron Feather Crossbow Arrow departed from the string with a screech, a special armor-piercing arrow with a conical arrow.
The arrow rang out, and before the party knight could react, the arrow had already hit him in the head.
The iron crossbow arrow shot directly through the man's head.
Zhang Chao put away the binoculars.
Stretched out a thumbs up to Cui Yi, "One arrow kills, good archery."
But I'll only give you nine points, and the remaining one point, because you didn't shoot him in the eye, which is a bit of a pity. ” Cui Shanfu, Ma Zhou and others were staring at Zhang Chao's telescope.
"San Lang, what is this?"
Zhang Chao replied with a smile, "This thing is called Eagle Eye, also known as the Clairlight Mirror, and it is one of the treasures passed on to me by my master, Master Sanzang. ” "Eagle eyes, clairvoyance, can you really see thousands of miles away" "Of course it's not that exaggerated, but you can see the facial features of people a mile away, and if you are a hundred steps away, you can even see the moles on people's faces clearly."
The telescope in Zhang Chao's hand is only a tenfold telescope, which is equivalent to bringing the target ten times closer.
Looking at a 1,000-meter target is equivalent to looking at a 100-meter target with the naked eye.
To put it bluntly, the telescope is actually pulling closer to the target, not extending.
Just now, Zhang Chao took the binoculars and watched a good Qiang rider a hundred steps away being shot, which is equivalent to standing ten steps away and watching, which is quite high-definition.
Ma Zhou and the others only saw that the man was shot in the head with an arrow, and then fell off the horse.
But Zhang Chao saw it more clearly, and even saw the man's facial features clearly, saw a scar on the man's face, and saw the picture when the blood and brain burst out when he was hit by an arrow.
The picture is a little too beautiful, and Zhang Chao is a little sick to his stomach when he sees it.
"It's such a miraculous thing" Ma Zhou was shocked, and then borrowed it to see.
Ma Zhou looked far in front of him, and then with a whoop, his steps were unsteady and he almost fell and bitten.
The visual impact was very great, and the corpse that turned out to be far away and confused, in the telescope, seemed to be suddenly pulled in front of it, the wide eyes, the blood hole, the blood stains on the ground, everything was so clear and real.
It was so real that his mind couldn't even react.
Cen Wenwen took the binoculars, and at first glance, he was also dizzy.
Xu Jingzong behaved better, he took the telescope to look at the Qiang people banner two hundred steps away.
Under a white flag, the facial features and hairstyle of the leaders of the group of Qiang people can be seen clearly.
If you look further, you can see the outline in the distance, which was originally very blurry with the naked eye.
"This is really a good thing, it's amazing, this is a fairy baby."
Xu Jingzong was a little reluctant to return the telescope to Zhang Chao.
Cui Yi took the binoculars and checked his results, and was also stunned.
"If there are some artifacts that are used to block and kill enemy generals, it is really a good thing.
If the scout has something in his hand, it will be more convenient to reconnoiter and probe the enemy. ” "San Lang, can you make this thing" Cui Shanfu was concerned about this issue.
Zhang Chao smiled, "This thing is not easy to get, you have to be a very clever craftsman, and you have to have a good amorphous to polish it."
And it is more difficult to adjust the polished crystal piece. ” "It's hard not to be afraid, if you can make such clairvoyance, it's really amazing, even if it's a hundred pairs, it will definitely be very popular."
Zhang Chao didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Raise the shield, the Qiang people are coming" Zhang Chao asked Cui Yi to shoot the shouting Qiang rider with a crossbow, which really angered the Qiang people, and they shouted and rushed over Just in time, I'm afraid you won't come Zhang Chao sneered and raised his shield t1706231537:
