Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Page 362



Xu Langsheng raised his head with a puzzled expression: "King Yue knows that His Majesty has issued an imperial decree and has already removed His Highness from the position of General Protecting the Country."

After a pause, he continued: "Your Highness is doing this to disrespect the order?"

"Then have you ever heard a word?"

Li Xiao said expressionlessly: "The general is away, and the military order is not accepted. Now the battle in the north is urgent, and I am going to resist the Turkic barbarians. You Guizhou stopped me here. Could it be that you have secretly communicated with the Turkic people?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood. My lord is loyal to Datang, and everything he does is in compliance with the imperial decree." Xu Langsheng said unhurriedly.

"As for the war in the north, many generals of our Tang Dynasty will deal with it. Your Highness does not need to worry about it. Please also hand over your military power and return to Qiongzhou immediately to stand by."

"Hehe." Li Xiao couldn't help but said, "What else? What are you going to do?"

Xu Langsheng continued: "If Your Highness does not hand over the military power, it will be disrespectful!"

"Within three days, if His Highness does not leave Guizhou, the surrounding states and counties will send troops at the same time to suppress the rebellion!"

After a pause, he continued: "Also, Your Highness should be aware that there are many mountains and rivers in Guizhou, and my lord has already demolished several bridges that must pass through. If Your Highness wants to forcefully break through, you have to plan the route carefully."

"Are you sure you don't want to let me?"

Li Xiao narrowed his eyes and lost his patience.

"Your Highness, please think twice, don't be impulsive!" Xu Langsheng clasped his fists expressionlessly.

"Row!"

Li Xiao sneered: "Guess, why did I set up the camp here?"

"This place is less than ten miles away from Guizhou City. Could it be that His Highness wants to attack the city?"

Xu Langsheng suddenly laughed as he spoke: "I'm afraid your Highness is joking with me, right? Your Highness dares to attack the city without [-] troops?"

Li Xiao sneered: "Go back and tell your master, I will give him one night to think about it."

"If you don't let it go before tomorrow's hour, the king will take necessary measures."

"Your Highness, I will tell my lord the truth, and leave!" Xu Langsheng said goodbye with fists in his hands.

……

An hour later, the prefect's mansion of Guizhou City.

A little old man who was over fifty years old looked at Xu Langsheng and stood up in surprise: "He really said that?"

"Yes, word for word." Xu Langsheng nodded calmly.

"Take necessary measures? Hehe..."

Luo Cheng'an, the prefect of Guizhou, had a face full of sarcasm, and continued: "This little baby has a big tone. Where does he think I am in Guizhou? If you want to leave?"

"My lord, after thinking about it, this subordinate is either playing tricks, delaying time, and then withdrawing from the army overnight tonight. In this way, there is no need to surrender military power."

Xu Langsheng said thoughtfully: "Or, at midnight tonight, he will launch a surprise attack. My lord, do you want to go down and remind the city defense army? So as not to be caught off guard."

"madness!"

Luo Cheng'an sarcastically said: "How many people does he have? It's only [-] to [-] at the top of the sky. He still traveled a long distance, the horses and horses were exhausted, and he just arrived today, let alone recuperating. How could he attack the city overnight?"

After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, what good is it for him to attack my city of Guizhou? It will only result in a charge of rebellion, and then he will become a street rat and everyone will be punished."

"What the adults analyzed is that the subordinates understand."

Xu Langsheng nodded, pondered for a moment and continued, "Do you need to notify the nearby states and counties to send people to intercept them?"

"Stop the fart!"

Luo Chengan rolled his eyes and said, "How could those old things send troops? This is their family affair of Li Tang's royal family. Under the current situation, no one wants to cause trouble."

"Wait for him to go, and I will be free."

"Yes!"

"Wait a moment!"

"What else does your lord want?"

"What time is it now?"

"There are still three hours, which is Chenshi."

"Hehe, then Li Xiao should be pulling out camp and preparing to escape now."

……

Three hours later, in the barracks outside the city, Li Xiao saw that the envoy from Guizhou had not yet arrived, so he immediately issued an order without hesitation: "Uncle Li, give the artillery positions..."

After speaking halfway, Li Xiao fell silent.

"Your Highness, Commander Li is on board right now!" Lu Li helplessly reminded.

"Send the order, let's fire! Just hit the city wall and fire three rounds." Li Xiao said expressionlessly.

"Yes!"

Lu Li cupped his fists, turned and left.

Just a moment later.

In the artillery position of the barracks, thirty heavy artillery roared wildly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The huge shock force made the ground tremble slightly.

In the dark night, dozens of shells roared away and landed on the city wall of Guizhou.

In an instant, gaps in the solid city wall continued to be blasted, flooded by flames and smoke.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Quick! Everyone is ready to fight!"

Countless soldiers shouted on the city wall.

But what greeted them was gravel all over the sky, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and it was impossible to see where the enemy was at all.

There was chaos on the walls.

This situation lasted for a while, and finally the city wall continued to collapse, and countless soldiers were buried in it.

At this moment, the people in the entire city were awakened by the huge movement.

Everyone panicked.

Prefect's House.

Luo Chengan also sat up abruptly from the bed.

"What's going on? Where did the noise come from?"

With anger and doubt on his face, he shouted.

At this time, Xu Langsheng came in from the outside and shouted in a panic: "My lord, something is wrong!"

"Frizzled, how decent is it? Tell me what's going on!"

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Luo Chengan's eyes.

"My lord, Li Xiao really attacked the city!" Xu Langsheng said with a look of horror.

"I don't know what trick he used. At this moment, the city wall near the south city gate has been reduced to ruins, and the city wall that is more than ten feet long has collapsed!"

"what?!"

Luo Chengan lifted the quilt and got out of bed, stared at Xu Langsheng in disbelief, and said in a deep voice, "What did you say? The city wall fell? Do you know what will happen if you deceive me?"

"It's absolutely true! My lord!"

"My subordinates saw with their own eyes that the soldiers on the city wall were all buried by the ruins!"

Xu Langsheng was sweating profusely, his eyes were full of panic.

Because he was worried that Li Xiao would lead people to attack the city overnight, he directly rested in the city guard building not far from the city gate.

As soon as the movement appeared, he rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

But even though he was so quick, he still couldn't see clearly what method Li Xiao used.

In less than a cup of tea, the city wall collapsed right under his nose.

This terrifying method made his scalp tingle.

"Quick! Gather people and stop them outside the city!" Luo Chengan said with a frown.

"Yes!"

……

Half an hour later, Luo Cheng'an led people to the south gate.

"Where's the enemy? Have they already entered the city?"

Chapter 406: Seeing Hope

"Could it be... Guizhou City is going to be destroyed in my hands?"

Luo Chengan looked up to the sky and sighed, with a sad expression on his face.

He never expected that Li Xiao would have such a strange method.

Originally, he dismissed Li Xiao's warning as a joke, but now he regretted it in his heart.

At this time, the surviving city guards around had gathered in a panic.

A general staggered to Luo Cheng'an.

"My lord, there is no trace of the enemy army. They should not have entered the city, otherwise the humble officer will definitely get the news." The general said with a disgruntled face and cupped his fists.

"What did you say? Didn't find the enemy?"

Luo Chengan looked surprised: "Then how did the city wall collapse?"

"I don't know the humble job."

"Did you lie on purpose because you were worried about being punished after losing the battle?"

Luo Chengan's face was very ugly.

"My lord, I have already sent people to investigate for several miles around, and indeed no traces of the enemy's large-scale march were found."

"This……"

Everyone present was lost in thought for a moment.

No one came, but the walls fell down.

Haunted?

After pondering for a moment, Luo Chengan frowned and said, "Where is Li Xiao? Where is he now?"

"My lord, news just came that Qiongzhou's army has just pulled out their camp, and they have already bypassed Guizhou and headed north." Someone reported.

"This Li Xiao is so courageous, he is clearly challenging the authority of the adults!"

Xu Langsheng frowned and said, "This subordinate will send people to notify the states and counties to send people to intercept him."

"and many more!"

At this time, Luo Chengan seemed to have thought of something, and he was sweating coldly: "What time is it now?"

"My lord, it's just passed the hour."

"Just past the hour..."

Luo Cheng'an muttered to himself: "That is to say, the strange collapse of the city wall is almost the same time as when Li Xiao pulled out his camp."

After a pause, he looked at Xu Langsheng seriously: "Did Li Xiao say yesterday that we should make way for him before Chen Shi?"

"My lord, that's indeed what Li Xiao... said."

Xu Lang's eyes widened as he spoke, with an unbelievable expression on his face: "My lord, what you mean is that Li Xiao's people have never even come out of the camp, and they collapsed my Guizhou City without anyone noticing it." The city wall?"

"It's all Chen Shi, how can there be such a coincidence?" Luo Cheng'an was terrified, "How did he do it?"
