Chapter 478 Danger
Shen Mu happily said: "I saw his merits early in the battle of Cijian, and now I just further confirm my original opinion. Ha! The three of us are fighting side by side again. God really treats me well."

Xu Ziling said: "Now the enemy should use the cover of rain and fog to sneak up close and use the technique of ground listening to monitor our movement. When the grain truck moves, it is the moment when the enemy launches an offensive. Xiao Zhong must not let Wuming leave, because the enemy At that time, vicious eagles will be released to attack Wuming in the air."

Shen Mu caressed Wuming on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Without my order, Wuming will never leave my shoulder." Turning to Ba Fenghan, he said, "Good boy! We haven't had a chance to ask you why it took you so long to get here It turns out that you are looking for us because you are reluctant to leave, and you can't bear to part with Badai, right?"

Ba Fenghan said: "I met Fu Qian who was still lingering in Tuli's territory, and accompanied him to Gaochang for a while, and then went to the desert for a hundred days of hard training in swordsmanship, and came to see you as soon as he was successful. Isn't the time just right?"

Shen Mu said happily: "Fu Qian! I haven't heard from that kid for a long time, how is he doing?"

Ba Fenghan said: "Not only is he very good, but he also has a lot to gain. At least he has established a good relationship with Tuli and established a lifelong friendship. It will be of great benefit to him in the fight against Ye Hu, the leader of the Western Turks. Now he is He should have returned to his home country. Listen to his tone, he will return to the Central Plains in the near future, whether it is the Li faction who wins, or you are the one who unifies the world, he will try to fix it, and use the power of you Han people to contend with the Western Turks."

Xuan sighed again: "Fu Qian is a man with both ambition and foresight. He originally wanted to invade your Middle Earth, but after seeing Li Shimin and you, Shen Mu, he would have died long ago. Unless the two of you have If you follow his opinion, it will be over, otherwise he will only seek development outside China."

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "Boy Li and I died one after another. It's interesting to say what you said, but the possibility of it becoming a reality is extremely high." Then he asked: "My good boy, you actually learned how to avoid the most serious and ignore the less important, you should know that we have to ask you The matter with Bardele."

Ba Fenghan obviously didn't want to answer this question, so he said indifferently: "I'll tell you guys later when I have a chance!"

Knowing Shen Mu's character, Xu Ziling would not let him go, and said in a different direction: "Brother Feng Han, did you have any breakthroughs in the practice of swordsmanship?"

Ba Fenghan's eyes sparkled immediately, showing nostalgia, and said in a deep voice: "That will be a part of my life that I will never forget. I put everything in the world behind me, no one without me, and just meditate and practice every day. Sword, integrates all past experiences and comprehensions. The most influential thing for me is not the two confrontations with Bi Xuan, but the experience of death and rebirth. Therefore, the battle of Luoyang is very important to me. However, my Stealing Heaven swordsmanship can make another breakthrough. Ha! At first I found out that the young commander is not in Luoyang, and I was so disappointed that I wanted to cry."

Shen Mu happily said: "Don't cry now! Take a look at Ling! Lao Ba is the real warlike person."

Xu Ziling said: "He is good at martial arts but not good at war, there should be a difference!"

At this time, Ma Chang came to report that the erection of the pontoon bridge was completed.

Shen Mu said: "First send 1000 people to cross the bridge quietly on foot, set up formations and scouts on the opposite bank, and keep watch on the high ground. After confirming that the situation is safe, then lead all the horses to the opposite bank, including our mounts, and proceed immediately."

Ma Chang took the order and left.

Ba Fenghan praised: "Young Marshal's mind is becoming more and more flexible, no wonder his prestige is in full swing. When I went south from Shanhai Pass to inquire about you, no one dared not to respect you after hearing your name."

Shen Mu sighed: "I know my own hardships, Young Master Ling knows it best, if it wasn't for some luck, I wouldn't have had the chance to chat with you here at all."

Ba Fenghan said solemnly: "This trip to Luoyang, what plan do you have to turn the tide? No one I met was optimistic about Wang Shichong."

Shen Mu said: "My big plan is to stabilize first and then ask for help. That is to help Wang Shichong defend Luoyang first, stabilize the morale of the army, and then break out of the encirclement and ask Dou Jiande for help."

Ba Fenghan cheered up and said, "Break out for help? That will be very exciting and interesting."

Xu Ziling stared at the misty depths of the dense forest, imagined in his mind Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan rushing out of the Luoyang city gate and heading towards Dahe, where the enemy's strongest force is strongest, while Li Shimin dispatched elite soldiers to intercept them with all their strength.It is two different things to see Dou Jiande from Pengliang and crossing the Dahe River. Because Li Shimin stationed a heavy army in the north of Luoyang, and all the cities on the north bank of the Yellow River were in his hands, the hardship of the journey can be imagined.

Time passed minute by minute, and Machang came to report that all the horses crossed the river. It was only two hours before dawn, and the drizzle was still endlessly pouring down from the dark night sky.

Shen Mu issued an order for grain carts to cross the river.

The sound of wheels creaked and rattled in the rear, and the five hundred Feiyun personal guards and two thousand Yang family soldiers guarding the inner circle of the tree array bent their bows and set up arrows, ready to wait.

Ba Fenghan whispered: "Come on!"

The sound of the hoofbeats gradually became clear, and the attack came from three directions from the front. If it hadn't been prepared for a long time ago, and there was a tree formation to block the enemy, it would be at a loss at this moment, and the formation would be in chaos.Winning or losing is just a fine line.

Shen Mu shouted: "Throw the torch!"

The order was spread far and wide, and the subordinates hurriedly threw the torches on the outside of the tree array, passing through the rain and fog filled space in the forest, bringing out rays of light one after another, which is really beautiful.

The torch burns flame-resistant grease. When it falls among the wet grass and trees, although it cannot ignite the wet leaves and grass, it does not go out, making the inside of the tree array dark, while the outside is full of flames.

The enemy cavalry drew closer and closer, appearing in the depths of the water mist like a ghost knight from the underworld without substance.

Shen Mu's and Ba Fenghan's sun-shooting and moon-piercing bows exploded at the same time, and the two horsemen fell to the ground in response.

"Fire arrows!"

[-] powerful arrows were shot from the inner circle, piercing through the gaps between the trees, piercing the people and horses, and the hissing and screaming of the horses resounded in the forest outside the wooden formation.

The horses that lost their masters rushed to the wooden formation, only to realize that there was no way ahead, jumped up and screamed, knocked each other down, or ran back, and the horses that stepped on the torches neighed miserably, the situation was extremely chaotic.

Arrows rained down, and rows of powerful arrows shot out from the strong bow, ruthlessly shooting any moving creatures that appeared outside the wooden array.

Someone on the other side yelled: "It's a trick! Retreat!"

The enemy came fast and retreated even faster, leaving behind dead horses and human corpses all over the forest in various strange shapes.

Xu Ziling didn't shoot an arrow, and stared blankly at the terrifying scene in front of him like Shura's hell.

The sound of grain wheels rubbing against the pontoon bridge resounded across the river crossing behind, and there was silence on the side of the wooden formation, only the sound of heavy and tense breathing.

Ba Fenghan listened carefully to the sound of the enemy's hooves, and said: "Will Tang Jun come to die again?"

Shen Mu shook his head and said, "If that's the case, the three of Changsun Wuji are not worthy to be Li Shimin's confidantes. They must admit defeat in this battle of cutting grain. After the grain trucks cross the river, we will retreat in batches and destroy the pontoon bridge. Tomorrow evening We can drink to Li Shimin outside the city in Luoyang, while listening to the lingering and erotic love history of Lao Ba and Badel."

The sound of flapping wings came from above the forest, and the vicious vultures had already been dispatched, and Wuming on Shen Mu's shoulder showed a look of attention, obviously aware of the dangerous situation in the sky.

The vigilante is the nameless nemesis, will Li Shimin be Shen Mu's nemesis?

When the sun moves across the middle sky, the majestic Luoyang City finally appears in the front due north.

Shen Mu ordered the food transportation team to take a break temporarily, and together with Yang Gongqing, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan, they rode up to a high place to observe the situation outside Luoyang City.

Yishui flowed on their left, meandering away, flowing through the canal hole in the city wall and penetrating into the city, and the three gates of Houzai, Dingding and Changxia to the south were closed tightly.A mile or so away from the city, the Tang army built a wooden village on a hill. It was obviously built not too long ago. It was small in scale and could only accommodate hundreds of people, so it was hardly a threat to them.However, it is not easy for them to break through this strong defensive wooden stronghold. If they provoke other Tang troops to come to help, they may suffer a big loss, so no one can do anything about the opponent's situation.

Shen Mu sighed: "If according to the original plan, Young Master Ling should lead Fei Yunqi back to Chenliu at this time, and bring in the second batch of grain. Now this idea obviously won't work."

Xu Ziling nodded in agreement. Firstly, Wuming was restrained by the evil vulture, making it difficult for him to function. Second, it was the inner ghost.The movement of the food transportation team was slow and inconvenient. If the whereabouts were exposed, there was no difference between transporting food to Luoyang and committing suicide.

Ba Fenghan was surprised: "Won't Ziling follow us to Luoyang?"

Shen Mu said: "Young Master Ling will take charge of the overall situation when he returns to Liang, alas! The problem of food supply is really a headache. According to Xuanshu, although a large number of people fled Luoyang, there are more than 15 soldiers and civilians who stayed in the city. The things that come are enough for half a month at most.”

Ba Fenghan laughed dumbly and said: "How do you calculate this number? Five hundred grain carts, each with two mules, totals a thousand strong mules. If a hundred mules are killed every day, they can feed for ten days. Killing a horse can last a month, not to mention that there is still food left in Luoyang, so it can still last for a month and a half, it should be enough time for Dou Jiande to rescue him!"

Xu Ziling was horrified when he heard this, and he and Shen Mu looked at each other.The latter patted his forehead and said, "Why have I never thought of eating mule meat? Alas! Mules! I'm so sorry for you. You worked so hard to transport food for me, but I still want to kill you for meat."

Ba Fenghan shook his head and smiled wryly: "That's why we Turkic people often say that what you Han people have is the heart of a mother, and you can't be cruel. That's how war is, you can sacrifice anything for victory."

Turning to Xu Ziling, he said, "Ziling, come with us to Luoyang! After securing Luoyang, we will break out of the siege and go to see Dou Jiande for help. The three of us fought side by side, sharing life and death together. What a joyful thing. In war, only There is no friendship between the enemy and us. Li Shimin represents the Li family, not himself. He is fighting for Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng. Li Yuanjian has no friendship with you, unless you want them to rule China , Otherwise, you should make up your mind and swear to defeat them. I am not an eloquent person, I just speak out what is in my heart."

Shen Mu remained silent.

Xu Ziling gazed at the great capital shining brightly in the sun, and felt a thousand waves in his heart, as he made a decision that would completely take his future destiny in another direction.What should he do?

Yang Gongqing nodded and said: "Fenghan is talking about the hard facts. The inside of the Li Clan has been eaten away by the Demon Sect. Li Shimin is just a tool for fighting, and he can no longer have the ability to be independent."

Shen Mu finally spoke, spreading his hands with a wry smile and said, "Zi Ling will decide everything! Of course I need you, but if you choose to leave, I will only have joy and no resentment in my heart."

Xu Ziling suddenly misses Concubine Shixuan intensely. If she was by his side, he would humbly kneel down to her and ask for a clear instruction.After taking a deep breath, Xu Ziling said calmly: "There is not much time left, let's set off immediately so that we can enter the city before sunset."

He felt that with each step Wanliban took, he was closer to the maelstrom of war that swept across the north and south, and almost involved most of the alien races outside the Great Wall.However, the distance away from Shi Qingxuan's secluded residence will be farther away. In the end, he will have no way out, until he dies from exhaustion!Unless Shen Mu's side finally wins, he will have the possibility of escape.

The thought made him feel exhausted, because he knew better that he couldn't stay out of it. Had he allowed his brother to fight for his ideals and the happiness of all people, while he stood by and watched?No matter how unwilling he was, he finally made up his mind and chose to embark on the road of no return to support Shen Mu.

……

The Yang family's army formed a formation and waited in the west of the enemy's stronghold to prevent the enemy from attacking in the stronghold.Warrior Feiyun was in charge of driving the mule cart, advancing towards Dingding Gate in Luoyang, while Wang Xuanshu and his personal guards stayed behind.As expected, although the Tang soldiers in the village were mobilized, they mainly focused on defense and did not dare to fight.

The bell on the city wall rang, and the suspension bridge across the river moat was lowered at Dingding Gate. Wang Shichong, Wang Xuanying, and General Ba Yegang led two thousand Zheng soldiers to meet them.Shen Mu, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, Yang Gongqing, and Wang Xuanshu rode out from the grain convoy.

The two sides meet.Wang Shichongfang's army spontaneously erupted in applause and cheers, and some even shed tears for the arrival of reinforcements. Zheng Guo soldiers on the walls and gates of Luoyang City echoed the shouts. The situation was warm and touching, just like the people in a severe drought Seeing the rain falling from the sky, he survived a desperate situation.

Wang Shichong went up to meet Shen Mu, rushed over beside the horse and hugged him tightly, with tears in his eyes, he said: "Young Marshal Gao Yilong loves you, regardless of past suspicions, Wang Shichong is very grateful, and his great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten."

Shen Mu was uncomfortable being hugged by him, and he knew that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. A person's personality can be changed, even if the attitude changes drastically under certain special circumstances, the essence remains unchanged.

Shen Mu gently broke away from his embrace, and said solemnly: "I am going back to Luoyang with Yang Gong today, without any conditions, let alone any demands. I only hope that everyone can sincerely cooperate to repel the Tang army. I hope that the Holy One will understand clearly."

The grain convoy "rumbled" past them and drove into Dingding Gate surrounded by Zheng Jun.

Xu Ziling, who was beside Shen Mu, felt excited, deeply felt the horror and cruelty of war, because it was clearly written on the tortured faces of every Zheng Jun.

Wang Shichong sighed: "I made mistakes again and again. I didn't have the face to meet the young commander. Now I only want a safe place, and I have nothing else to ask for."

Shen Mu said: "After we plan to secure Luoyang, we will immediately go to see Dou Jiande to persuade him to send troops to help, hoping to relieve the siege of Luoyang before the supply runs out. Does your majesty have any opinion on this?"

Wang Shichong said solemnly: "As long as it is the opinion of the young marshal, I, Wang Shichong, will accept it all."

Shen Mu happily said: "This is the best. After we enter the city, we will immediately distribute half of the food and supplies to the residents. First, we will stabilize the hearts of the people, and then we will see whether Li Shimin's siege battle is better than our coalition army's defense battle."

Wang Shichong was slightly taken aback, and nodded in agreement.The two rushed towards the city gate while talking, Xu Ziling, Yang Gongqing, Wang Xuanshu, Wang Xuanying, Ba Fenghan, Ba Yegang and others followed closely behind.

Wang Xuanying greeted Xu Ziling and Yang Gongqing without any suspicion, but Xu and Yang could see that he was reluctant, but Ying was forced to make friends with them.Ba Fenghan looked indifferent, as if nothing in the world could move his heart.

Shen Mu in front lowered his voice and asked Wang Shichong, "How is the situation now?"

Wang Shichong snorted coldly and said: "Before Li Shimin's army came under pressure, they had all escaped. It is an eternal truth that a friend in adversity sees the truth."

Shen Mu said: "After we plan to secure Luoyang, we will immediately go to see Dou Jiande to persuade him to send troops to help, hoping to relieve the siege of Luoyang before the supply runs out. Does your majesty have any opinion on this?"

Wang Shichong said solemnly: "As long as it is the opinion of the young marshal, I, Wang Shichong, will accept it all."

Shen Mu happily said: "This is the best. After we enter the city, we will immediately distribute half of the food and supplies to the residents. First, we will stabilize the hearts of the people, and then we will see whether Li Shimin's siege battle is better than our coalition army's defense battle."

Wang Shichong was slightly taken aback, and nodded in agreement.

When the horn sounded, the Yang family army commanded by Ma Chang began to withdraw to Dingdingmen, and the task of transporting food was finally accomplished.

Shen Mufu's tactic of distributing food immediately after entering the city is more effective than any means of boosting people's hearts. It immediately restores vitality to a city that was originally lifeless.Shen Mu even sent people to spread the news that Dou Jun will send troops across the river in a short time to relieve Luoyang's crisis, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Shen Mu and others immediately held a military meeting with Wang Shichong and his generals, mainly relatives of the king, and the exhausted grain transport army was settled in various vacant houses to rest in order to cope with the upcoming large-scale offensive and defensive battles.

Luoyang was one of the three capitals of the old Sui Dynasty, and the strongest city outside Chang'an and Jiangdu.Just looking at Li Zitong's ability to Shen Faxing's Jiangnan Navy, one can infer the power of Luoyang.

In fact, Luoyang's defensive power is even better than that of Chang'an and Jiangdu. In addition to the natural barriers of the surrounding mountains and rivers, it is surrounded by long walls. It is grand, with twelve gates on all sides, and the gates can echo each other, and the gates are all closed.

The most threatening to the siege Tang army is the "big flying stone" and "eight bow crossbow machine" designed and manufactured by Sha Tiannan for Luoyang. The arrow is as big as a giant axe and can attack enemies within more than 500 steps.Both of them are highly maneuverable and flexible super defense tools, which can be quickly mobilized on the city wall.

120 large flying stones, 150 eight-bow and crossbow arrow machines, guard Luoyang as solid as gold, so although everyone is starving, the commander of the siege is Li Shimin, who is powerful in the world, and he sieges the city from all sides for more than ten consecutive days day and night , still failed to conquer Luoyang.
