Chapter 1999 Li Jing attacked Wuguan


    Chapter 1997: Li Jing attacked Wuguan


    "Hmph, Li Jing is a man, he is too bullying."


    In Tongguan, Li Shimin''s roar came from the hall.


    Li Shimin''s eyes flashed with anger, and he looked at the generals below and said coldly: "I thought I could have a peace with Li Jing if I stopped increasing my troops, but I didn''t expect this guy to be so arrogant.


    Forget it, since he wants to attack Tongguan, then come on. I want to see if his 160,000 army can shake Tongguan. ”


    That''s right, but in Li Shimin''s heart, he actually looked forward to Li Jing coming to solve the problem.


    Tongguan is a powerful pass built by Li Shimin, who imitated Hangu Pass and built it with one hand. No one knows the defense of Tongguan better than him.


    Since its establishment, there has been no major wars in Tongguan, so its reputation is not very good, but just looking at its majestic city walls and its steep geographical advantage, you can tell that this is definitely a top pass in the world.


    If Hangu Pass is a teacher, then Tongguan is a student, a student who is better than the best.


    Let’s put it this way, although Tongguan was created by imitating Hangu Pass, it was not completely copied, but added innovation, and its defense was definitely above Hangu Pass.


    With such a heroic pass in hand and sufficient defenders, there are no shortage of supplies and food, Li Shimin naturally would not be afraid of the threat of Li Jing''s 160,000 army.


    He even hoped that Li Jing would take the initiative to attack, so that he could use Tongguan to weaken the Qin army.


    Of course, Li Shimin also knew that it would not be too much of the Qin army with this. After all, Li Jing was not a mediocre person. It was impossible for him to know that Tongguan was difficult to break, but he could use the flesh and blood of Qin soldiers to shake the city walls. It would be great if he could use the benefits of defending the city to consume 10,000 or 20,000 troops from the Qin army.


    "Lord, my subordinates have received a message from the bad guy."


    Yuan Tiangang stood up and said in a deep voice: "Li Jing moved the inventory of various counties in Sizhou and transferred more than a thousand catapults. He was obviously preparing to fight a protracted battle with us."


    “Hiss…”


    When the Tang army generals heard this, they immediately took a breath.


    What does it mean to have more than a thousand catapults? Just controlling the stone casting cart and carrying stone bullets requires tens of thousands of soldiers to control it.


    Once a stone bomb is fired and more than 100,000 flying stones fall, the scene is no different from the end of the world.


    You should know that during the third battle of Hulao Pass, the Kwantung Alliance attacked Hulao Pass, and the total number of catapults used was less than a thousand.


    So far, only Yecheng''s offensive and defensive battle has been used, with the total number of catapults used in a thousand, and this battle was launched by the Qin army.


    Building large-scale siege equipment such as catapults is naturally extremely labor-intensive and capital-intensive.


    I thought that the Qin army used a thousand catapults to attack Hebei, so there shouldn''t be many left in Sizhou, but I didn''t expect that there were still thousands of remaining inventories.


    This shows that Qin Hao’s ambition to unify the world is obvious. Otherwise, why would he build so many catapults?


    "Li Jing used a thousand catapults to attack Tongguan. Obviously, our army''s actions in Tongguan made Li Jing feel threatened, so he was ready to take serious action."


    A trace of worry flashed in Yuan Tiangang''s eyes and said solemnly: "Lord, although our army is in danger of Tongguan, the Qin army''s strength is twice that of our army, and there are more than a thousand catapults to help. Our army must not be careless at all.


    The subordinates proposed to continue to increase troops to Tongguan and transport more equipment from Chang''an to ensure the safety of Tongguan. ”


    Li Shimin nodded in agreement. In fact, even if Yuan Tiangang didn''t say that, he would do this. After all, this time the opponent was Li Jing, who decided the battle in Hebei, was more than several times stronger than Zhang Liao.


    Zhang Liao forced Li Shimin to voluntarily give up 50,000 elite boys. Now facing Li Jing, who is stronger than Zhang Liao, Li Shimin dared not be careless at all.


    After discussing with Li Kui, Yuan Tiangang, Sima Yi and others, Li Shimin decided to mobilize 5,000 troops from Chang''an, 3,000 troops from Wuguan, and 12,000 troops from Liangzhou. A total of 20,000 troops came to Tongguan and gathered 100,000 troops to fight against the Qin army. Liangzhou is now in an internal strife. Yang Guang and his family are fighting against Ma Chao and Yan Xing, and they have won many battles, which is very stance to unify Liangzhou again after Dong Zhuo.


    Li Shimin naturally did not want to see Yang Guang unify Liangzhou. After all, he also wanted to get Liangzhou. After he wanted to seize Sizhou, he would concentrate the whole country to destroy the Yang, Mahan family and completely unify the Guanxi area, but he did not expect to suffer a great defeat in Sizhou.


    Now that the threat from the Qin army is ahead, Li Shimin has neither the energy to distract Liangzhou nor the strength to occupy Liangzhou. If he forcibly sends troops, he will only benefit the Qin army.


    In the civil strife in Liangzhou and the three families fought, the Tang State did not need to place so many defenders on the border, and could transfer the defenders on the front line back without any worries.


    Yao Han Daying.


    After receiving the news that the Tang army had increased its troops, Li Jing was overjoyed and asked Jia Xu quickly: "Li Shimin transferred three thousand defenders from Wu Pass. How many defenders are left in Wu Pass now?"


    As the commander of the Black Ice Platform, Jia Xu controls the entire Qin army''s intelligence network and is still very familiar with the distribution of the Tang army''s troops.


    "There are 10,000 troops garrisons in Wuguan all year round, and now three thousand have been transferred, and there are still seven thousand defenders left."


    Hearing Jia Xu''s words, Zhang Kui asked in surprise: "Li Shimin only leaves 10,000 defenders like Wuguan?"


    After Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, Guo Jia explained: "The general has lived in Hebei for a long time and may not know much about Guanxi.


    Even if there are only 10,000 defenders like Wuguan and Tongguan, it is enough to resist more than ten times his enemy troops for more than ten months.


    With this month as a buffer, even if the reinforcements in Guanzhong go slowly, it is enough to reach Wuguan. ”


    "I see."


    Zhang Kui showed a sudden look and then asked again: "Oh, it''s not right, why did Hangu Pass fall so quickly?"


    As soon as this statement came out, Zhang He immediately thought to himself that something was wrong, and quickly stepped forward to pull the out-of-mouth Zhang Kui back, while Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others showed embarrassment.


    The Hangu Pass will fall purely because Li Cunxiao was conceited and committed suicide. If he had kept the pass honestly, there would not be so many troubles in the future.


    If Li Cunxiao hadn''t been arrogant and brave enough to go out of the pass, but Li Yuanba and Yang Jian found an opportunity and unloaded the city gate of Hangu Pass directly, Hangu Pass would never have fallen so quickly.


    Of course, although Li Cunxiao''s fault was great, his contribution was not small, and he could only defeat his merits and demerits.


    After some discussion, Li Jing looked at Zhang Liao and ordered: "General Zhang Liao, you will lead the 130,000 army this time. Under the banner of my commander, you will attack Tongguan to attract the attention of the Tang army. I will personally lead 30,000 troops to attack Wuguan."


    Zhang Liao suddenly showed surprise. He thought that the person who attacked Wuguan was him, but he didn''t expect that Li Jing was actually preparing to take action himself, which shows how much he attached to this matter.


    "No." Zhang Liao responded loudly.


    Li Jing nodded and said in a deep voice: "This surprise attack on Wuguan is crucial. I will decide to personally lead the 30,000 troops to go.


    Gao Chong, Zhang Kui, Qin Ji, Qin Si, Di Qing, Tan Daoji... and others went with me. ”


    "No." The generals responded in unison.
