Yang Zhengdao is now a troublemaker and a bastard. He couldn't stir things up under Jieli's command and couldn't survive any longer, so he fled to Ashinabil's command.
If he can't stir up trouble and get along under Ashinabil, then he can go to Goguryeo, Baekje, and Western Turks.
Anyway, he is not a Turk, and he does not care about the life and death of the Turks at all.
He only cares about whether his goal can be achieved.
And his purpose was to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and support the Sui Dynasty.
He doesn't care about anything other than that.
So it makes sense for Li Shimin to say this.
It is very likely that Yang Zhengdao will trick Ashinabil to come in person.
With Ashinabil giving him a backing, he can advance if he wants to and retreat if he wants to retreat.
"If Ashinabil is really inspired by Yang Zhengdao, then he is the biggest fool in the world!"
Li Yuanji said in a deep voice.
Ashinabil could not only have a counselor like Yang Zhengdao beside him, there must be other Turkic wise men. He may not understand the principle of "a son of rich wealth cannot sit down in court", but those wise men definitely understand.
If he chose to listen to Yang Zhengdao amid Yang Zhengdao's instigation and wise men's persuasion, then he would be really stupid, and hopelessly stupid.
After all, as a person in power, if you don’t listen to your own people, but listen to outsiders, what else is that not stupid?
A person who is in exile can't even stand still. What good advice can he give you?
"Now is not the time to talk about this, we must prepare for the worst!"
Li Shimin's voice also became heavier.
This was the first time in his life that the enemy's leader personally brought an army to behead him.
Let's just say the other party is hopelessly stupid. The other party does pose a threat to them.
But to say that the other party is not stupid is a bit contrary to one's will.
The most stupid person in power he has ever encountered in his life is probably Zhu Jie, but a person as stupid as Zhu Jie cannot do such stupid things.
"Come here, Bei Jia!"
Li Yuanji decisively gave orders to those around him.
If Ashnabil really comes, then everyone in the city will have to join the battle, and no one will be spared.
Although with his and Li Shimin's status, if they surrendered directly, they would not only survive, but also save the people in Aries City.
But he didn't want to be a foreign student, let alone be led by a rope and crawl on the ground like a sheep.
He believed that Li Shimin was not willing either.
So facing Ashinabil, Aries City could only give him one word.
war!
Fight to the death!
Fight to the last man!
"Prepare a pair of armor for me too!"
When Li Shimin was about to leave, he also spoke.
The attendant agreed and quickly went down to prepare his armor.
The enemies outside the city also changed at this time. Just as Li Shimin expected, when Yang Zhengdao realized that he could not attack Aries City by force, he began to divide his troops into two groups and march towards the hills on both sides of Aries City.
In order to avoid being ambushed, they used torches to ignite the vegetation closest to Aries City. The fire was blown by the wind and spread to the hills in an instant.
They stepped on the ashes of the fire and advanced up the hills step by step.
That is to say, the vegetation on the hills is mainly dry grass, and there are not many trees. After being burned by the fire, the ground will not be hot to the feet. Otherwise, they would not be able to do this.
Under the attack of fire and thick smoke, the city guards hiding on the hillside could no longer hide. One by one they jumped out from the hillside and began to push down various logs, rocks and other objects.
Although objects such as rolling logs and stones blocked their progress, the city guards themselves were also forced by the fire and smoke to stay halfway up the mountain. Each one of them finished pushing the rolling logs and stones that they were responsible for.
He ran frantically to the top of the hill.
Everyone on the city wall watched the fire chasing after the city guards, as if they were also in the fire and being chased by the fire. Everyone was anxious and nervous.
When the fire chased the city guards almost to the top of the mountain, and the city guards had nowhere to escape, Li Lu, who was full of anxiety and nervousness, finally couldn't help it anymore and said to Li Shimin: "Second Young Master, is General Xue there?
They have already moved. If they don't move, the city guards may be burned to death by the fire on the mountain!"
Li Lu's second young master is based on Li Yuan's side. Because Li Lu belongs to the family tree of the Li family and his lord is the same generation as Li Yuan, he can privately call Li Yuan Alang and Li Yuan's son Shaolang.
.
Of course, Li Shimin was not ranked second in the Li clan. It was Li Lu who separated the direct line and the collateral line.
When Li Shimin heard this, there was no expression on his face. He didn't even look towards the mountain. He fastened his armor carefully and said calmly: "It shouldn't have moved yet. Before Yang Zhengdao arrived, I gave him another
Added a military order to make him take action!"
Li Lu hurriedly said: "Then let the drummer play the drum quickly!"
Li Shimin still said calmly: "No hurry!"
Li Lu's eyes widened in shock and he couldn't help shouting: "Isn't this urgent? The fire is almost burning their butts!"
Li Shimin glanced at Li Lu coldly and asked, "Are you really a veteran of my Uncle Wang's command?"
Li Lu shut his mouth instantly and looked at Li Yuanji as if asking for help.
Li Yuanji believed in Li Shimin's ability, so he sided with Li Shimin on this matter without hesitation, "My second brother has his own reasons for doing this. Don't worry about it. Guard your city."
That’s it!”
Li Lu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded stiffly.
Then everyone continued to watch the fire spread on the hills on both sides.
The fire quickly jumped to the top of the hills.
Some of the city guards' clothes were caught on fire, and then their whole bodies started to burn. Standing on the city wall, you could clearly see a burning figure rolling in the fire.
After this scene appeared, Li Shimin finally took further action.
"Give me the order, order everyone to put away all the flags, light all the crossbows, and assemble under the city wall. One person, two horses, three swords, two spears, choose the best armor to wear, and then wait for my order!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Shimin gave the order coldly.
Li Lu was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but after seeing Li Shimin's cold eyes, he decisively shut his mouth and carried out the order.
At this time, Li Yuanji finally understood why Li Shimin ignored what happened to Cheng Wei.
Li Shimin wanted to use the experience of the city guards to draw out Yang Zhengdao's backup plan.
Just imagine, the city guards are in a near-death situation. No one in Aries City can save them, and they even look like they are about to run away. The city guards seem to have become abandoned sons.
Aries City had a complete attitude of retreating if the ambush failed. They were not procrastinating at all and showed no pity for the lives of the abandoned children.
Under this situation, whatever backup plan Yang Zhengdao had, he had to come up with it. If he didn't come up with it, the people in Aries City would run away.
After all, Aries City only blocked the west gate, not the east gate, and outside the east gate there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty led by Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others.
If the people in Aries City cannot defend Aries City, they can completely flee to the east, but they do not have to defend Aries City.
However, judging from Li Shimin's arrangements, it was clear that Li Shimin had no intention of escaping, but wanted to fight Yang Zhengdao and Yang Zhengdao's back-up men.
Li Yuanji could also guess the purpose of Li Shimin's arrangement. It was simply that the people in Aries City had no way to escape and could only fight.
Although the east gate of Aries City is not blocked, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty led by Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others outside the east gate, who can guarantee that there will not be an ambush by Suni's missing troops outside the east gate?
.
If people can touch the back of Aries City, they can naturally appear in front of Aries City.
Compared to touching the back of Aries City, it is obviously easier for people to touch the front of Aries City.
So you don't need to guess. In front of Aries City, that is, in the east, there is a high chance that Suni will lose his troops and ambush them.
Even with this ambush, Yang Zhengdao was not afraid of the people from Aries City leaving, but with Su Dingfang and others watching, neither Yang Zhengdao nor his master Ashinabil could send too many troops.
We touched the east of Aries City, so the number of ambush troops in the east will definitely not be too many.
If the people in Aries City rush forward, there will still be a glimmer of hope. In this case, when the people in Aries City want to escape, Yang Zhengdao must show his backhand and bite Bai Yang tightly.
The people in Yangcheng must cooperate with the people ambushing in the east of Aries City to ensure that this beheading operation is foolproof.
"call!"
At Li Lu's urging, the flags on the city wall were quickly cleared and the bed crossbows were lit.
When the fierce fire oil was blown by the wind, the fire became more intense.
From a distance, the lit crossbows look like torches.
After Li Lu completed these two things, he took the soldiers out of the city wall to do other things.
Li Shimin had been standing on the city wall watching the movement outside the city without moving. All the soldiers had left the city wall and he did not move either.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
When the bed crossbow on the city wall was almost burning, the deafening sound of horse hooves sounded outside the city.
Yang Zhengdaozang's back-up plan appeared.
When Li Shimin heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, instead of being afraid, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved.
"The number of people is about 30,000. They are all Turkic light cavalry. They are not too many. We still have the strength to fight!"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji and said with a smile: "Just now, I was thinking that if the opponent had too many people, I would take Li Lu and Xue Wanche to hold them back, and you would take a small group of people from the east.
The door leaves Aries City.
With your ability, even if Ashinabil or Yang Zhengdao set up an ambush outside the east gate, they shouldn't be able to stop you.
Now it seems that I don’t have to fight for my life, and you don’t have to leave.”
Seeing that Li Shimin didn't look like he was joking, Li Yuanji also breathed a sigh of relief, and then joked: "Are you showing me the deep brotherhood? Then should I be moved?"
Li Shimin glared and snorted coldly: "I can't get that position, and I won't let my eldest brother take advantage of me!"
