I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Inner ghost appeared
The tragic siege battle is about to break out.The horns are long and the drums are long.

Tens of thousands of soldiers carried ladders and other siege equipment and rushed over, shouting, and entered within 100 meters of Chang'an City. The crossbowmen on the city wall began to attack from a long distance. Countless sharp arrows gathered into a rain of arrows, roaring, " Swish...swoosh..." Shoot at the enemy.

In an instant, countless enemy troops fell to the ground screaming and died, and the sound of mournful lament was endless. Hundreds of siege troops were scattered in formation, and the ladders were scattered in front of the formation, making it impossible to carry out an effective siege.

Li Jue ordered the flag to wave, and immediately, the former soldiers moved towards the two sides in a uniform manner, and five thousand crossbowmen marched forward in a neat team, following the gap moved by the front army, they reached the firing position.Immediately fight back, suppress the enemy's crossbowmen, and cover your own siege team.

Xiliang iron cavalry is known to all the world, but they never knew that Xiliang crossbows are also unique in the world. For a while, the crossbowmen in Chang'an City were suppressed so much that they couldn't hold their heads up, and the strength of long-range strikes was also reduced.

Chang'an didn't build a moat at that time. Chang'an's moat was first dug in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Xiliang army took advantage of the opportunity when the defenders on the city were suppressed and quickly rushed to the city.

The walls of Chang'an are high and thick, and the defense is complete. In addition, there is Huangfusong, a famous general in the dynasty, commanding the defense of the city. Naturally, it is difficult for the Xiliang army to take it in a short time.

Seeing that the enemy was attacking, the defenders followed the steps one by one, smashing all the rolling wood, thunder and stones on the city at the enemy, and pouring hot oil from the hot pan down from above.

The enemy army under the city wall was heavily killed and injured by the stones one after another. The corpses piled up under the city like a mountain, and the blood was like a river, staining a large area of ​​land under the city wall red.

This tragic siege battle made the bloodthirsty Xiliang army a little overwhelmed. The bloody lesson made them seem to calm down. After all, everything depends on whether it is worth it or not.

Death is fine, but never in vain.

Gradually, this group of rebels no longer wanted to go to attack the city, and retreated one after another.

This made Li Jue so angry that his lungs exploded, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to beat the Jueming Drum, and the sound of the drum was short and dense in an instant.

The siege soldiers obviously paused after hearing this, and looked towards their own army formation, only to see countless crossbowmen with their strong bows fully drawn, and sharp arrows pointing at themselves.

Knowing that going back would be death, if he simply went back, there might still be a glimmer of life.

Immediately, they raised the ladder again and killed them back.

In order to quickly win Chang'an, Li Jue changed his strategy.

Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were ordered to lead [-] troops each to attack from the north gate and the south gate at the same time, leaving the east gate alone without sending anyone to attack.

All three gates of the city were attacked by the enemy for a while. Originally, there were only more than 1 defenders in the city. The troops had to be garrisoned at once.

Huangfusong was trying his best to maintain it. By this time, he had already understood Li Shimin's plot. I am afraid that this person is leading an army to hide somewhere, and is staring at Chang'an. .

Therefore, we can only persevere and wait for Li Shimin's reinforcements to arrive.

However, years of battlefield experience gave him an ominous premonition, as if something big was about to happen.

He didn't believe that Li Jue didn't get any news of Li Shimin's arrival?Even if they didn't before, but now that they've reached Chang'an, it's impossible that they didn't hear any news, and they are still attacking Chang'an with great fanfare, there must be someone behind them.

…………

Indeed, just as Huangfusong expected, Li Jue did have a backer, and he had his internal support in Chang'an city. They had already colluded with each other and were ready to cooperate with each other and conspire to take down Chang'an.

However, Zhang Zhang and the others had already been eyeing this insider, and his every move was under their surveillance, and Bai Qisi's spies were lurking under his men.

It's just that Zhang Zhang and the others stared at it for a long time, but they didn't find anything abnormal, including the spies under him, and they didn't find any abnormal behavior.

This made both Wang Xun and Zhang Zhang very puzzled. Could it be that the lord made a mistake in his judgment?But they quickly denied it. The lord has always predicted the enemy first and never made a mistake. It is only possible that this person has hidden too deeply and has not been discovered yet.

Therefore, they still did not relax their vigilance, and kept observing with cold eyes.

Finally, when the Xiliang army attacked the city, he secretly disguised himself, slipped out the back door, and headed towards the south of the city. He was spotted by Zhang Zhang, who was following him, and he led a few of his confidants to follow him from a distance. He has a poor dagger, so Zhang Zhang is not worried about being discovered.

With seven turns and eight turns, Zhang Zhang and others lost their target near the abandoned military camp in the south of the city.

Zhang Zhang immediately sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to inform General Gao Shun to lead the trapped camp over immediately, otherwise things would change later.

At the same time, let another subordinate immediately go back to Feige to pass on the letter, telling the lord what he found, so that he can make a decision early.

…………

Li Shimin has been paying close attention to the development of the Xiliang army's attack on the city, and at the same time he also attaches great importance to the news from Wang Xun and others. Right now, Li Shimin is most worried about the enemies in Chang'an City. It's too late to regret it.

It's just that the news that came back didn't find anything unusual, and Li Shimin also had some doubts. Could it be that he was worrying too much, this person would not rebel, and the surrender in the previous life was also a helpless move?

However, he was still ready to gather the whole army and wait for the order to kill Chang'an at any time.

Just as he was discussing the marching route with the generals under his command, news came from the army scouts, saying that he had received Zhang Zhang's letter from Feige.

Li Shimin quickly took the secret letter, got up and took out the secret survey from the cabinet behind him, put it on the secret letter for a look, there were a few large characters on it: "The traitor has appeared, the camp in the south of the city has been abandoned, Hu Zhen."

Li Shimin immediately understood the intention, and knew that he had caught Hu Zhen's fox tail. It seems that you are the ghost inside without a doubt.

Fortunately, Li Shimin has memories of his previous life. He vaguely remembers when Hu Zhen and Xu Rong went to Xinfeng to block Li Jue. Because Hu Zhen surrendered, he fought back and Xu Rong died in battle.

So he guessed that Hu Zhen might have directed Li Jue a long time ago, but he didn't show it. This is why he asked Xi Zhicai to recruit Xu Rong. He knew that Xu Rong was not a direct descendant of Xiliang, and now he has no home. However, surrendering oneself is the only way out.

Now that the inner ghost has appeared, and Li Jue's army is attacking the city frantically, now is the best time, Li Shimin decided to lead his army to Chang'an, and pacify Guanzhong in one fell swoop.
