Li Yuanji looked strange and didn't know how to answer.
Yu Wenbao, on the other hand, said carelessly: "I heard from people in the house that my Highness was struck by thunder when he went to Sui Dongyue."
Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao with shame and anger.
Yu Wenbao stared in astonishment... It seems I didn't say anything wrong, right?
Sun Simiao's expression suddenly became strange, and he muttered, "How many evil things have you done to get struck by thunder?"
In the understanding of all Tang people, only those who do too many harmful things will be punished by thunder.
Therefore, even though Sun Simiao was well-informed, after hearing this incident, he still doubted what kind of evil things Li Yuanji had done to provoke God to impose such a heavy punishment.
Li Yuanji's face turned dark immediately, "Mr. Sun, do you want to help me diagnose my pulse, or do you want to explore my past?"
Sun Simiao stroked his long beard and said cheerfully: "I'm curious."
Li Yuanji was speechless, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Sun Simiao say again: "Your Highness's body is a little different from ordinary people, but his pulse is no different from ordinary people.
It seems that after being struck by lightning, there was some kind of change in the body.
If your Highness doesn't mind, could you give me a piece of meat so that I can explore it carefully?"
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Sun Simiao, not knowing what to say.
Isn't it that the ancients paid great attention to the rule that "the hair and skin of the body are received by the parents and do not dare to be damaged, which is the beginning of filial piety".
Why is it not possible to get to Sun Simiao?
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I only need a very small piece."
Seeing that Li Yuanji seemed unwilling, Sun Simiao tried to persuade him.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Sun Simiao again. We are in the sixth century now and there is no need to slice and study it.
"God, I asked you to treat my Highness, not to harm His Highness. If you talk like that again, even if you are a God, I will offend you."
Yu Wenbao stared at Sun Simiao with a threatening look on his face.
Sun Simiao glanced at Yu Wenbao, he really had no temper with Yu Wenbao.
Yu Wenbao is a weakling, he doesn't know how to reason with people, and he doesn't care about people's identities.
Since Yu Wenbao wouldn't let him have any intention of harming Li Yuanji, if he insists on going his own way again, Yu Wenbao will definitely fight against him.
Although Yu Wenbao has a bad temper, he likes Yu Wenbao very much and doesn't want to hurt Yu Wenbao.
Even though Yu Wenbao was stronger than him, if he really wanted to take action, it would be Yu Wenbao who fell down.
"The injury on your Highness's hand is not serious. As long as you take care of it quietly, it will return to normal within ten days."
Sun Simiao patiently said something to Yu Wenbao, then looked at Li Yuanji, and said with a smile: "I have been at Weize Pass recently. If you are injured again, you can ask me to heal you."
After saying this, Sun Simiao left gracefully without waiting for Li Yuanji to speak.
Yu Wenbao said with a confused look: "Your Highness, what does he mean?"
Yu Wenbao was a little confused whether Sun Simiao had bad intentions or good intentions.
Li Yuanji curled his lips and didn't explain much.
What does Sun Simiao mean?
It's nothing more than taking advantage of the situation head-on, and instead resorting to detours.
If he is injured again next time, he suffers an arrow wound or a knife wound, which requires removal of carrion before diagnosis and treatment.
Sun Simiao could naturally take meat from him.
"Don't bother Mr. Sun from now on. If I have any minor illness or disaster, the imperial doctor can diagnose and treat it."
Li Yuanji glanced at Yu Wenbao and warned him.
Yu Wenbao scratched his head and responded with an 'arrogant' sound.
Li Yuanji thought again and said: "A master like Mr. Sun in Xinglin should be allowed to diagnose and treat those seriously injured soldiers.
In this way, countless lives can be saved.
If the soldiers and strong men on the city wall are seriously injured, please send them to Mr. Sun."
Li Yuanji felt that Sun Simiao was idle.
As long as you find more things for him to do, he won't have time to think about things like slice research.
Yu Wenbao didn't know that Li Yuanji was looking for something for Sun Simiao. He felt that what Li Yuanji said was very reasonable, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Hurry up and supervise the battle."
Li Yuanji ordered.
It’s not like Li Yuanji has no ability to protect himself.
Even if his hand is injured, he can still defend himself against the enemy with his legs, so there is no need to keep Yu Wenbao by his side.
Yu Wenbao heard Li Yuanji's instructions and left reluctantly.
After Yu Wenbao left, Li Yuanji paid attention to the war again.
The Turks' offensive was very fierce. Hundreds of thousands of Turks were divided into several waves, taking turns to attack Weze Pass.
The Turks at the forefront will immediately turn back after being seriously injured or exhausted, and the Turks behind will rush forward as soon as possible.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Turks has remained at its peak.
Although Weizeguan had a new force that could withstand the Turks' attack, it also showed signs of decline over time.
After all, Weizeguan's military strength is at a disadvantage and there is no way to replace them like the Turks.
The soldiers in Weize Pass have been fighting against the Turks who are at their peak. As time goes by, they lose strength and are easily taken advantage of.
"How much kerosene is left in the pass?"
When the soldiers on the city wall began to suffer serious injuries, Li Yuanji appeared beside Li Zhongwen.
Li Zhongwen had just bent his bow and shot an arrow outside. When he heard Li Yuanji's question, he bent his bow and fired an arrow while saying urgently: "The kerosene distributed by the imperial court to several nearby passes has always been sent to Wei Ze first.
Pass, and then distributed out through Weize Pass.
This year's kerosene was just delivered to Weizeguan a month ago and has not been distributed yet.
Therefore, there is sufficient kerosene in Weize Pass.
Why does Your Highness ask this?"
Li Yuan only believed in his own people and did not trust outsiders, so when allocating kerosene and some large-scale ordnance to various passes near Weize Pass, they were all handed over to Li Xiuning, who would further distribute them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The purpose is to let Li Xiuning strictly control the amount of kerosene stored at each pass, so as to avoid repetitions of the guards at some passes, so that the kerosene of the Tang Dynasty can be provided to the Tang Dynasty.
causing serious damage.
"Send some people down and carry all the kerosene to the top of the city."
After Li Yuanji learned that the reserves of kerosene in Weize Pass were very sufficient, he immediately spoke.
Li Zhongwen was stunned, put down his bow, and looked at Li Yuanji, "Your Highness is going to set a fire?"
Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.
The Turks were trying their best to attack Weize Pass, but he was unable to project a pillar of fire to put pressure on the Turks and give the soldiers on the wall a chance to breathe.
Then we can only roll down the barrels of kerosene from the top of the city of Weizeguan, forming a sea of fire under the city head of Weizeguan, temporarily restricting the Turks' attack, and gaining some rest for the soldiers on the city wall.
Opportunity.
Fortunately, the city wall of Weizeguan is built on a mountain. Outside the city wall is a high slope, and under the high slope is a very deep trench.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to set fire to it like this.
After all, if there is no high slope, if the kerosene barrel is thrown down, it will land at the foot of the city wall. If it is set on fire, it will easily burn the city bricks under the city wall to crisp.
If the Turks were smarter and poured some water on it, the bricks under the city wall would crack immediately.
If the Turks continue to do the same thing, the city wall may collapse.
Although it may take a lot of time for the Turks to do this, but now the Turks have plenty of time.
Li Zhongwen hesitated and said: "I originally planned to set the fire when the situation was most critical, so that we could buy Weize Pass some time.
If Your Highness feels that it is appropriate to set a fire now, I will immediately send someone to bring up the kerosene."
There was no need for Li Yuanji to say anything about setting fire, Li Zhongwen was also prepared.
It's just that he kept the kerosene as a back-up.
Now Li Yuanji asked him to set the fire in advance, but he was a little reluctant.
He said he would send someone to move the kerosene, but no action was taken.
He was waiting for Li Yuanji to repent.
But Li Yuanji did not go back on his words, "Now is the time to set fire, just send someone to set it off."
Li Zhongwen had his own considerations, and Li Yuanji also had his own considerations.
Li Zhongwen was thinking about how to defend Weize Pass, and Li Yuanji was thinking about how to buy time for reinforcements.
With the existing troops at Weize Pass, even if they are all used up, they may not be able to defend Weize Pass. Therefore, the first task of Weize Pass now is to delay for as long as possible.
"I understand."
Seeing that Li Yuanji had no intention of going back on his word, Li Zhongwen could only follow Li Yuanji's instructions.
Immediately, Li Zhongwen sent a team of people down the city wall to carry kerosene.
After the thick oil drums were moved onto the city wall, Li Yuanji did not hesitate and directly ordered the soldiers to use trebuchets to launch the oil drums.
After the oil drum fell to the ground, it soaked the ground on one side of the trench under the city wall.
"woo woo woo woo……"
The Turks did not hesitate to blow the horn to retreat.
But how could Li Yuanji let them exit calmly?
Li Yuanji ordered the soldiers on the city wall to release rockets almost as soon as the Turkic horns sounded.
The rockets flew and suddenly formed a sea of fire on one side of the trench under the city wall.
The Turks who exited the trench slowly retreated toward the sea of fire with a clear conscience.
The Turks who did not exit the trench became lambs to be slaughtered.
Jie Li and Liang Shidu, who were watching the battle from the lookout, saw this scene. Instead of being angry, they had smiles on their faces.
Master Liang smiled and said: "The Tang Dynasty's pillar of fire never appeared again, so it must have been exhausted. The Tang Dynasty even used kerosene now, so it must have been almost impossible to hold the barrier.
It’s not long before we make the long journey.”
Jie Li smiled and nodded, "You are right. The Tang people did not have many weapons for projecting fire pillars. Now even the kerosene, which was used at the end, has been used. The Tang people really can no longer hold the barrier."
Speaking of this, Jie Li boldly gave the order, "Send the order and ask all troops to withdraw from the battlefield, take a short rest, and continue to attack the city after the fire is extinguished."
