Chapter 338: The Fragrance Array Soaring to the Sky Penetrates the City of Chang'an with Golden Armor
No wonder a certain diary master likes to use silver bullet offensive, this feeling is really great.
Of course, the silver bullet offensive is not invincible.
Li Yunze gathered Boye's army and Fengxiang's army, but they were all defeated.
The reason why Xia Suiyin's troops were recruited this time was because they were too poor and the general was not around to take countermeasures in time.
If this were the Shatuo soldiers used by Li Ke, or the wealthy military towns in Guandong, it would not be so easy.
For Li Yunze, this didn't matter. He had harvested more than ten thousand elite soldiers and horses from Xia Suiyin Town, and he suddenly had enough confidence to defend Chang'an City.
The day after he led his team back to Chang'an City, Huang Chao personally led the main army to the outside of Chang'an City.
In the next few days, a steady stream of bandits came from the east like a tide, and then extended in all directions, surrounding the large Chang'an City.
The number of Huangchao's soldiers and horses is so large that it can't be seen at a glance.
Li Yunze looked indifferent. He had seen more soldiers and horses than this.
He rectified the city's defenses, trained new soldiers, encouraged people, and arranged work for everyone.
There really is Wang Baochuan.
A large number of people were sent to the distant Qinling Mountains to cut down trees and then build siege equipment in the camp.
Huang Chao was rejected because he failed in the imperial examination, and because the aristocratic family controlled the imperial examination and did not give a poor scholar like him a chance to get ahead, so his mentality was distorted.
If you don't have to talk, then don't talk. Just start fighting. We will see the real results on the battlefield.
"The price is not low."
There are naturally many hidden sentries and various defense facilities outside the military camp, so it is not easy to make a surprise attack.
In fact, we can't fight today.
Young Wang Baochuan didn't understand what Li Yunze meant at all. He really thought that he was tired and wanted to take a bath after patrolling the city defenses all day, so he happily went to prepare bath water.
The thieves had strengthened their defenses and it was very difficult to get out in broad daylight, so Li Yunze chose to attack at night.
"It's really high-profile." Li Yunze felt a little regretful when he saw Huang Chao, who had slaughtered countless people, but was just pretending to be an ordinary scholar.
Doctors and teachers are both masters of making money.
"The little girl admires the commander." Wang Baochuan's beautiful eyes were full of energy. "The commander is a man with both ability and political integrity. The little girl is willing to serve you."
After a good night's rest, Li Yunze came to the city wall again. The sergeants around him could tell that the commanding officer's momentum became even stronger.
The so-called poor family is one that our ancestors used to have. At least the family has enough money to afford studying. After all, no matter what era it is, studying is a critical thing that will drain the money of those who teach.
But when encountering Li Yunze, these two methods are impossible, so the only option is to attack by force.
What surprised Li Yunze was that Wang Baochuan was not shy at all and took the initiative to come over and salute, "I have seen the commander."
The life of Xue Pinggui in the drama can only be said to be very imaginative.
Touching his nose, Li Yunze nodded, "Prime Minister Lu is a real person and always tells the truth."
'Sensible.' Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction. Seeing his future performance, he would not be able to let him go and remove him from the Lu family.
Huang Chao fulfilled his oath and returned to Chang'an City with countless golden armors and a fragrant array.
We also need to build a Lu Gong chariot, which is a siege tower with heavy protection and wheels.
The escorting armored cavalry moved like flowing water, and the following baggage vehicles filled the road.
Deliver supplies from the modern world, especially urgently needed food.
This process will take at least ten days, mainly because Huang Chao has enough manpower.
The days were busy and fulfilling, and the people in the city gradually calmed down after experiencing the initial panic.
Lu Xie stepped forward with a smile and saluted, "The commander works hard for the Tang Dynasty and protects Chang'an City. How can there be no one around to serve him?"
"Huang Chao's head!"
If it weren't for Li Yunze, Huang Chao would have taken revenge by "trampling all the bones of the public minister".
If you want to attack a large and strong city like Chang'an City, the best way is for the opponent to surrender voluntarily. If that doesn't work, you can open the city gates internally.
The soldiers and horses of Boye Fengxiang and Xia Suiyin were also good. They were both professional and would not be frightened before the fight started.
Outside the Chunming Gate, Huang Chao was sitting on a sedan decorated with gold, and his subordinates all followed him with their hair tied in red silk, brocade clothes and weapons in hand.
Lu Xie said with great insight that he still had a lot of things to do, and the people in the city were still waiting for him to boil water for cooking. He left with a manly smile and left.
"Commander."
Only the rookies who were pulled up to the city wall were all pale-faced and trembling.
As for the real people in Guizhou, they don't even have the opportunity to study, let alone take the imperial examination.
Li Yunze was really stunned, "Wang Baochuan?!"
"It has delayed your personal revenge, but don't worry, I will inherit your legacy, fulfill your last wish, and deal with all the nobles and nobles of the aristocratic families."
Huang Chao was also looking at the city wall. After a while, someone rode out to the city and shouted, "Listen to the guards in the city. General Chongtian has said that as long as you surrender, you will be made prime minister and appointed as the governor of Hedong!"
Li Yunze previously lived in the Song and Ming Dynasties. No matter what kind of girls he met, at least when they met for the first time, they would be reserved on the surface.
In novels, movies, and TV shows, people can attack a city by carrying a long ladder, just for fun, but if they really only use a long ladder when attacking a city, everyone will die and they won't be able to reach the top of the city.
Still following the old rules, I offered a reward and selected a group of elite knights. I chose a dark and windy night for a month, and quietly left the city with their titles and horses wrapped in hooves.
There was no need to talk anymore. Huang Chao in the golden sedan took a deep look at the city of Chang'an, where he had countless loves and hates, and sneered and waved away.
The sergeants all thought that the commander was happy when encountering a battle, and they were all happy that they could follow such an outstanding general.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to signal the beauty, "This is the daughter of Prime Minister Wang, her maiden name is Baochai. She is willing to serve the commander and envoy."
In the past ten days, Li Yunze has not been idle all day long to confront Wang Baochuan.
In addition, there are nest carts, wooden curtain carts, trammel carts, crash carts, goose carts, etc.
Knowing that the rebel siege equipment was about to be completed, Li Yunze immediately chose to go out of the city to destroy these things.
'The incense formation soaring to the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor.'
The aristocratic families that have lasted for hundreds of years have firmly controlled the upward path of the imperial examination. Those who can win the examination are the children of the family, or their own people who are favored by the family.
Wang Baochuan showed his feelings when he came up.
"Okay." Li Yunze, who had not eaten meat for some time, nodded slowly, "Go and wash. Ahem, go prepare the bath water."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a smiling Lu Xie and a beautiful beauty.
A child from a poor family like Huang Chao, who has no background, has no chance of getting ahead no matter how he takes the exam.
The messenger who shouted was a little stupid, and actually asked "What is it?"
It was precisely because he clearly passed the exam but was forced to fail, which strongly stimulated Huang Chao, and he left the famous anti-poem.
Fortunately, they have enough manpower, after all, they are an army of hundreds of thousands.
After all, there are at least one million people in the city, and the daily consumption is an astronomical amount.
Raising his head, Wang Baochuan looked at Li Yunze with his beautiful eyes, his eyes were clear like an innocent girl who was ignorant of the world, and he said, "The prime minister said that the commander is extremely talented, and he defeated the bandit soldiers one after another. He is highly virtuous, and he led the army to resist the bandits and guard Chang'an. He is the best in the world."
Great man."
Until that day, the defenders on the city wall reported to Li Yunze that most of the siege equipment of the bandits outside had been completed.
There are also catapults, the kind of catapult invented by Liu Ye during the Three Kingdoms period that can throw stones. It has a powerful destructive power against the defensive forces on the city wall.
If it weren't for the elite soldiers from each town standing behind him with horizontal knives, they would have deserted long ago.
A simple long ladder like that is meaningless, carrying it up is nothing.
Girls from the Tang Dynasty were really enthusiastic.
In the true sense, siege warfare is very complex and uses a lot of equipment.
At least in appearance, he is too mediocre and has no heroic aura at all.
Huang Chao's army no longer tried to attack, and they were ready to launch a full-scale attack.
As for the process, ahem, there’s nothing much to say about the process. In short, it’s a boring, repetitive process with splashes of water and humming of homonymous words.
Seeing the bandits starting to build camps and build siege equipment, Li Yunze simply turned around and climbed down the city wall.
The imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty and the imperial examinations of the later Song and Ming Dynasties are not the same thing.
Xue Pinggui only appears in dramas, not in the real world. It is even less likely that he is the emperor's son living abroad, nor can he inherit the throne and become the emperor.
"When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they have bloomed."
Thanks to Li Yunze's previous actions of cutting down trees and demolishing houses outside the city and moving people, livestock, and even dogs into the city, Huang Chaojun could not find cannon fodder laborers and building materials within a radius of dozens of miles.
He subconsciously asked, "Where is Xue Pinggui?"
It is taboo to defend the city rigidly, and it is important to keep coming and going.
Therefore, Li Yunze put on night vision goggles.
He returned to his own mansion, a very beautiful mansion arranged for him by Lu Xie, and was preparing to transport more goods from the modern world.
The combat effectiveness of Huang Chao's soldiers and horses is definitely not as good as the elite soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, but after all, they have been fighting for several years, and they know everything they need to know.
Li Yunze finally met Huang Chao.
"There are two hidden sentries one hundred and seventy steps away on the left. You go over and deal with them."
"Um."
They need to build a real ladder, with a ladder on the top and a cart on the bottom, and one with ground claws that can resist the ladder being pushed away.
Li Yunze laughed when he heard this, and replied outside the city, "You can also want a certain family to surrender, as long as General Chongtian is willing to borrow something."
If you want to attack by force, you need sufficient siege equipment.
"There is a trap a hundred and twenty steps away on the right. You two go over and mark it."
"Two hundred steps ahead, there is another secret whistle. How afraid is Huang Chao of death? Why are there so many secret whistles!"
It had been more than an hour since they left the city, but the soldiers and horses attacking the camp had only traveled two miles.
There are hidden sentries everywhere outside, as if he likes to play dirty and carry out sneak attacks, bah!
When we finally reached the outside of the camp where the siege equipment was stored, it was almost dawn!
