Chapter two hundred and eighty first fire suppression

After Tu Midu drove Po Run away, he turned to look at Bahu's eyes and said coldly: "Don't tell anyone about Li Shimin's things on the other side."

After saying that, Tu Midu walked down the platform without looking back.

Tu Midu returned to the high slope where he was originally located, and from a distance he heard Ba Zhuo shouting, "Don't say that Li Shimin didn't come, what can you do if the Lord comes?"

Tu Midu knew that Ba Zhuo was giving him courage, and walked up with a sneer in his heart.

When Ba Zhuo and others saw Tu Midu walking up, they quickly stood up and looked at Tu Midu with an eager look, wanting to know if Li Shimin was personally rushing into the military formation.

Tu Midu slowly swept across the faces of everyone with a calm face, and then said lightly: "It's not Li Shimin, they can't break our camp now."

"Haha, I just said that Li Shimin is old, how could he rush into the military formation? Even if Li Shimin goes crazy and rush into the person himself, it is not afraid." Ba Zhuo raised his fist and said arrogantly.

When the generals of Xue Yantuo heard this, they all became excited, and they all shouted that the Tang Dynasty was not afraid of it, and that today's defeat was entirely due to Tong Luozhier's incompetence.

Tu Midu looked at the disdainful expressions in his heart in front of him, and became more and more indifferent. He angrily taught everyone a lesson: "Don't be too happy too early. My nephew has surrounded Li Chengqian. The Tang army will fight to the death here."

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and then they yelled excitedly.

"Haha, Li Shimin also wants him to return when he comes."

"This time I will let Datang know how powerful we are."

...

For a moment, the scene was chaotic like a group of beasts dancing, venting the pressure and madness in my heart.

With this crazy excitement, he quickly arranged the defensive task and told everyone fiercely that this was a defense that concerns the life and death of the tribes in Mobei. Whoever defended was not good enough was the end of death and the tribes were killed. He also distributed the tribes who escaped from Tongluo's tribe to each tribe in public.

After the mission was assigned, the leaders from all over the north of Mobei rushed towards their respective defense places as if they were injected with chicken blood, staring closely at the Tang army outside the camp.

At this time, the Tang army outside the camp was in a state of silence.

It turned out that when Li Shimin led his generals to the outside of Xueyantuo camp, Xueyantuo's defeated troops had retreated into the camp, which made Tang generals, who were not satisfied with killing and who had not yet reached the death.

What made them even more depressed was that Li Shimin saw that the establishment of Xueyantuo camp was very solid and difficult to capture, so hesitated and delayed his orders to attack.

The Tang army was originally only half of Xue Yantuo's number, but because Xue Yantuo's troops were divided into two groups and had extremely powerful generals like Xue Rengui, tens of thousands of enemy generals were frightened and fled, so they achieved such a great victory.

However, now the enemy's troops hide in the camp and suffer heavy losses if they want to attack. If they do not capture this camp and go directly to rescue Li Chengqian, these tens of thousands of Xueyantuo's army will inevitably become a major concern for the Tang army.

Whether these Xueyantuo army continued to go south to take advantage of the emptiness of the Tang Dynasty's interior, or cut off the Tang army's food route on the grassland and surrounded the Tang army in the north, it would bring great trouble to the Tang Dynasty and even eventually defeat the Tang Dynasty.

However, the heavy losses in attacking here are than the war that follows are extremely unfavorable...

Just as Li Shimin was hesitating, Pei Xingjian rode his war horse to Li Shimin and immediately clasped his fists at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty is in a dilemma for capturing this village?"

"We must conquer this village. What's the point of conquering Your Majesty?" Hou Junji next to him said bluntly.

As a master of military tactics, he naturally saw the reason why Li Shimin was reluctant to order an attack. However, Hou Junji and Li Shimin thought differently. He believed that this camp must be conquered. Apart from him, there were not many generals here who were good at siegeing the city. He had destroyed Gaochang and attacked the city, and he was just showing his skills.

Pei Xingjian looked at Hou Junji without saying a word when he heard this, and then continued to look at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin also turned his head to look at Pei Xingjian. Seeing that Pei Xingjian was so handsome that he was scolded by Hou Junji, he could still calmly treat it. He couldn't help but look at the young man carefully.

He knew that Pei Xingjian was Li Chengqian's confidant, just like Xue Rengui, and the two of them jointly took charge of the most important gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin had already seen Xue Rengui's bravery and could be said to be very satisfied. Pei Xingjian's handsome appearance was definitely not a martial artist, but a general talent that Li Chengqian focused on cultivating, and even asked him to learn military tactics from Li Jing.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin laughed and said, "Your Mahjong should not underestimate others. Do you know that he has also learned military tactics from the pharmacist!"

Li Shimin didn't mention Li Jing, but he felt even more uncomfortable when he mentioned Li Jing Hou Junji. He had heard that Li Jing praised Pei Xingjian and said that he was the successor of his military strategy.

"No matter how much you learn military strategy, you will talk about it on paper," Hou Junji said coldly.

As soon as Hou Junji spoke, the generals around him were dissatisfied. Although Li Jing had not taken power for a long time, many generals of Li Jing's military strategy were still very impressed.

Many generals cannot envy Pei Xingjian for being able to get Li Jing to teach military tactics. Before Pei Xingjian could speak, you said that he was talking about military affairs on paper. This was aimed at Li Jing.

Li Shimin ignored him after hearing this and said to Pei Xingjian in the tone of an elder: "Since he is a pharmacist, he should be able to see the current situation, let's talk about it?"

Seeing that Li Shimin was not nervous, Pei Xingjian clasped his fists at Li Shimin again and said, "I think I must attack here, but the hard attack will be too great, so I am willing to ask Your Majesty to conquer this village without losing too much."

As soon as Pei Xingjian finished speaking, his face changed. He thought that he was indeed a man who talked about the war on paper. Although he saw the current predicament, he was so relaxed and too conceited to conquer this village.

Of course, these people did not dare to speak but expressed their disappointment with their breathless voices.

Only Li Daliang couldn't help but remind Pei Xingjian: "There is no joke in the Pei family!" It points out the identity of his crown prince's family.

Li Shimin ignored these and asked directly: "Do you want to use gunpowder?"

Pei Xingjian solemnly clasped his fists and said, "It's just using gunpowder."

Li Shimin looked at the increasingly tight Xueyantuo camp guarding in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "You try it."

"I obey the order!" Pei Xingjian bowed to Li Shimin and turned his head to Xue Rengui and said, "Can General Xue lend me your people? I want to bring the siege equipment I brought."

When Xue Rengui heard this, he glanced at Xue Yantuo Camp and said to Pei Xingjian: "I'll go with you."

The two of them rode their war horses and retreated from the front. Xue Rengui went to greet his men and followed Pei Xingjian to return to Li Shiji's original large-scale business operations.

Li Shimin knew that he had to wait for a long time and turned his head and walked to a high ground to get off the horse to rest. Other things were arranged by Li Shiji and others.

So a very strange situation occurred inside and outside the Xueyantuo camp. The Xueyantuo infantry who were waiting in the camp held bows and arrows and used the favorable terrain and camp fences to control the distance within fifty steps outside the camp.

The Tang army arranged a sword and shield formation just outside fifty steps, as if they were going to attack at any time, but they did not attack at all times.

The soldiers and generals on both sides were only fifty steps away, and they could see the nose and eyes of the opposite side clearly, but no one could cross the line.

Just confronting each other, the defense General Xue Yantuo was very depressed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Maogong is indeed a master of military tactics. This technique of attacking the heart is truly perfect." Li Shimin stood on the high ground and looked at the situation in front of Xue Yantuo's camp.

"These are just small tricks, so I can only see Lord Pei later." Li Shiji said modestly.

Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui led 3,000 people to transport gunpowder and catapult cart to outside Xueyantuo camp until the evening.

Pei Xingjian determined the place where the catapult cart was placed, and came to the high ground where Li Shimin was located.

He saluted Li Shimin and said, "I call you, because the gunpowder I brought today is limited, and I cannot blow up the other party's walls and can only suppress fire."

Everyone turned dark when they heard this. The gunpowder they had high hopes could not blow up the wall of the village. Isn’t it still necessary to attack?

"What is firepower suppression?" Li Shiji asked curiously.

"What is the suppression of firepower?" Li Shimin asked quickly.

Pei Xingjian hurriedly said, "When your Majesty's firepower suppression means that you can throw gunpowder into the military formation within the wall of Xueyantuo's village, so that their people cannot shoot arrows at our army, and then our army can send people to tear down his wall."

"This is very good. We will attack us after demolishing the wall." Zhang Shigui couldn't help but say strangely.

Although the gunpowder has been famous for a long time, it has always been a secret weapon of the East Palace. Chang'an City is still a secret, and Li Chengqian and Xue Rengui have used these people several times but have not seen them.

So everyone only knew that gunpowder was very powerful and could conquer cities and land, but no one knew how to use it. When they heard that they could deal with the military formations in Xueyantuo's camp, they were overjoyed.

In just a moment, the catapult car has been installed. The deputy future asked Pei Xingjian to return to command the Zheng Gunpowder Package, and Li Shimin and the generals also followed him to watch.

Pei Xingjian came one hundred steps away from Xue Yantuo and saw five high-rise stone throwing cars scattering in a row. Everything was ready, so he said directly: "Drop bombs."

Everyone heard a few hammers, and then they saw black gunpowder packs flying towards Xueyantuo camp with the sound of "woof" wind.

Then he saw the "rumbling" sound in Xueyantuo camp. He saw the black smoke and fireworks flashing, and the longbow and some broken limbs flew into the sky. Xueyantuo camp immediately became chaotic, and he ran away cryingly, no one remembered the matter of guarding the camp again.

Seeing this, Li Shiji turned pale and remembered for a while that he needed to send someone to demolish Xue Yantuo's camp and go to order.
