Li Shimin stood up, with his head held high and his chest high, wearing a helmet and armor, with a stern demeanor. Although the situation was unfavorable, Li Shimin was not nervous at all and said loudly: "I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Who are you?"
Huang Zhong said: "I am Huang Zhong of Shu!"
Huang Zhong's voice was rich and resonant. As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was clearly transmitted to the army of the Tang Dynasty. Huang Zhong continued: "Li Shimin, your granary was defeated, and the army you sent to attack the granary was also defeated. You are already
Defeat is inevitable. Surrender now and you can still save your life. Standing stubbornly and resisting will only lead to death."
brush!
Li Shimin's expression changed drastically.
The army that attacked the granary was defeated.
But what about Li Shentong?
Where is Qin Qiong?
Where is Li Duan?
No matter which one of these three people they are, they are all great masters. They can only shuttle across the battlefield to kill those who capture the flag. Even if the team attacking the granary on the front line is defeated, Li Shentong and others can definitely break through.
This is Li Shimin's self-confidence.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said loudly: "It's impossible. The people I sent to attack the granary are top experts in the army. If they lose, they can withdraw. There is no news yet, so they can't be defeated."
"Hahaha……"
Huang Zhong burst out laughing after hearing this: "Are you, the majestic emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the king of a country, still stubborn?"
Li Shimin said: "I won't believe you until I see you."
At this time, Wang Can strode out.
He has now taken off his makeup and returned to his original appearance. However, his current appearance after taking off the makeup is 70% similar to his appearance as Li Duan. After all, he was fine-tuned based on Wang Can's appearance.
Wang Can said: "Li Shimin, don't you believe it when you see me?"
His voice was rich and clear and reached Li Shimin's ears.
Li Shimin looked at Wang Can and felt that he looked familiar.
For a moment, he didn't think that Wang Can was Li Duan. He calmly said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Wang Can laughed and said: "I am Wang Can of Shu, and I am also Li Duan of Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin, now that you see my appearance, do you remember who I am?"
"You, are you Li Duan?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Even though he was calm and calm, he could survive the collapse of the mountain without changing his expression. However, after hearing Wang Can's words, he couldn't help but feel swaying and could no longer control the tremors in his mind.
Why did he value Li Duan?
He placed all his hopes on Li Duan.
Even the fate of the Tang Dynasty was pinned on Li Duan.
But Li Duan turned out to be Wang Can.
This is so ironic.
Wang Can continued: "I am Li Duan, but I am also Wang Can and Li Shimin. Do you want to know why Dai Zi was killed? He was just in my hands."
"Originally, I didn't want to kill Dai Zi."
"It's a pity that he can't surrender to me."
"Do you know the location of the granary behind you? Who leaked it? I leaked it, so your granary was lost."
"Do you know how Li Shentong died? I killed him."
"Do you know how Qin Qiong was captured? I was the one who planned it."
"Everything was arranged by me."
Wang Can's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "Everything is my arrangement. You have been defeated from the beginning of this battle. Now you have lost the granary and even the two generals Li Shentong and Qin Qiong, and the Tang Dynasty has been destroyed."
exist."
"Kick! Kick!"
Li Shimin kept retreating.
He blurted out what he wanted to say, he treated Wang Can well, why would he betray him?
But in a blink of an eye, he thought that Wang Can was the Supreme Emperor of Shu and a native of Shu. It was only natural for Wang Can to betray him.
The pain in his heart made Li Shimin extremely uncomfortable.
This was such a huge blow.
For a moment, Li Shimin didn't know how to answer, let alone how to deal with it.
He was confused.
Li Shentong is dead!
Qin Qiong was captured!
These two pieces of news were like swords piercing Li Shimin's heart, making Li Shimin extremely uncomfortable. Originally, Li Shimin wanted to delay time, but now, he had been shocked and confused by Wang Can's words.
Wang Can said loudly: "Li Shimin, you can be said to be a wise king, able to appoint talents and make use of their talents. I also admire your ability. But this is a time of great struggle. This is a battle between the Shu Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty. I don't want to
It is possible to spare Datang. If you surrender now, I will decide to spare your death."
Wang Can also admired Li Shimin.
This is the true wise king.
Li Shimin was an extremely capable emperor because he was able to appoint virtuous people, be courteous to virtuous subordinates, accept advice, and even be diligent in government affairs. Although it is generally impossible to leave the lives of enemies after the destruction of a country, Wang Can wanted to keep his enemies alive.
Exit Li Shimin.
"Hahaha……"
When Li Shimin heard this, he laughed wildly.
There is sadness in the laughter.
Amid the laughter, there was even more helplessness.
The laughter was full of sadness and despair.
He didn't expect that his courtesy corporal would lead the wolf into the house and tell Wang Can everything, causing Wang Can to understand everything, and the Tang Dynasty fell into a desperate situation.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, and his eyes became sharper than ever before. Those eyes were like those of hungry wolves. He gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Can, as long as I still have breath, I will never admit defeat."
"If I surrender, how can I be worthy of the dead soldiers?"
"If I surrender, how can I be worthy of the dead soldiers?"
"If I surrender, how can I be worthy of my loyal subjects?"
"I will never surrender."
"We, the entire Tang Dynasty, are all strong-willed people. There are only those who die standing, and there are no people who live on their knees. If I lose, it will be just a death. As long as I still have breath, I will fight to the end."
Li Shimin said: "Wang Can, you deceived me first because you were cunning and cunning. I have given up in this round. However, I will never bow down to you."
After Wang Can heard this, he sighed.
Li Shimin has a proud character.
Such people, even if they are enemies, are worthy of admiration and respect.
Wang Can suddenly laughed and said: "It is my honor to be your enemy. When I fought with Liu Bang, I looked down upon Liu Bang the most. Liu Bang had a thick face and a black heart, and was just a ruffian. If the times had not created heroes,
If Xiang Yu had not been too indecisive, Liu Bang would never have been able to conquer the world."
"You, Li Shimin, are different."
"You are capable and can march and fight."
"You are a courteous corporal and diligent in political affairs. You are also an emperor. I don't think I can compare with you."
Wang Can said: "I admire you, I, Wang Can, once ruled the world. Today, even if the world changes greatly, even if thousands of people are reborn, I will not be afraid. I will definitely rule the world. You, Li Shimin, will only
He could be the defeated general of my men."
Li Shimin laughed again and said: "We won't know the outcome until the end."
Li Shimin hated Wang Can deeply.
In the Li family, too many people died at the hands of Wang Can.
First there were Li Yuanba, Li Xiaogong, and now there are Li Shentong and Li Yuan, all of whom were the mainstays of the Tang clan.
Now, they all died in Wang Can's hands.
Wang Can knew that he could not persuade Li Shimin to surrender, so he said no more, stepped back, stood behind Huang Zhong, nodded to Huang Zhong, handed over the command to Huang Zhong, and let Huang Zhong take command.
"Archers, prepare!"
"Catapult, prepare!"
Huang Zhong issued two orders in succession.
Following the issuance of these two orders, archers quickly took their positions one after another and formed a formation a hundred steps away from Li Shimin's camp. For ordinary archers, it was impossible to accurately shoot at a hundred steps.
However, a dense bow and arrow formation does not require accurate shooting of the bow and arrow. It only needs to be able to shoot a hundred steps away and attack intensively, and that is enough.
The rest, I don't care.
While the archers were in position, the catapult soldiers were also quickly in position.
The catapults were placed one hundred and fifty steps away from the camp, lined up in a row, and the momentum was terrifying.
"attack!"
Huang Zhong gave the order to attack.
As the order was given, there was only the sound of bows and arrows piercing the air, and the clang of catapults. The bows and arrows fell in the camp, injuring the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stationed in the camp.
Countless firearms were thrown by the catapult and flew through the sky. As soon as they landed in the Tang Dynasty's camp, they exploded, causing a violent explosion. The Tang soldiers in the camp were unable to stop them.
After all, there are not many soldiers stationed there.
The main forces have already retreated on a large scale.
Li Shimin still had not retreated. He looked at the Shu army, which had not yet launched a large-scale attack. He looked at Du Ruhui on the side and asked, "Keming, are the soldiers at the rear ready?"
Du Ruhui's eyes were sharp and he said: "Everything is ready."
"good!"
Li Shimin said: "We will withdraw too!"
He glanced at the Shu army who were still suppressing his troops, and left without looking back.
When Li Shimin just evacuated, Huang Zhong issued the order to attack.
"kill!"
The cry of killing resounded throughout the sky.
Countless Shu soldiers rushed out quickly and rushed into Datang's camp. However, when they rushed in, Li Shimin's soldiers had already retreated, and the camp was already empty.
Not long after, some soldiers retreated, quickly came to Huang Zhong, and reported: "General, all the troops from the Tang Dynasty have evacuated, and there is no one inside."
Huang Zhong waved the soldiers to retreat, then looked at Wang Can and said: "Your Majesty, I estimate that Li Shimin has already known the news about the granary and has already arranged for people to retreat. Just now, they deliberately delayed time with us. But I am sure that they
They have definitely not gone far. Now that we are dispatching cavalry to pursue us, we are still certain that we can catch up."
Wang Can's eyes flashed with wisdom and he said: "Assuming that Li Shimin has already prepared, do you think that once he retreats, will he make arrangements to ensure a safe retreat?"
"there must be!"
Huang Zhong said: "But even if Li Shimin makes arrangements, we must pursue him. If he does not pursue, then let Li Shimin retreat. I suggest that two groups of elite soldiers be arranged to pursue, one in front and one in the back. This way
, even if those in front are ambushed, those in the rear can support us. Our army will follow closely behind to suppress the formation."
Wang Can said: "Okay!"
Wang Can also agreed with Huang Zhong's suggestion. This is a relatively safe plan. (To be continued)
